Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	2. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We report on a calendar year basis. The quarters of Holland and Reddaway consist of thirteen weeks that end on a Saturday either before or after the end of March, June and September, whereas all other companies’ quarters end on the natural calendar quarter end. Segments As noted in our 2019 annual report on Form 10-K, our Chief Operating Decision Maker began evaluating performance and business results, as well as making resource and operating decisions under the single segment view as a result of the business transformation that began during 2019. As such, a single segment view is presented in this Form 10-Q. See further details in our 2019 annual report as filed March 11, 2020.

( b ) The Par Value and the Book Value both reflect the accumulated cash funds that have been drawn and the accumulated paid-in-kind interest, which was $1.7 million as of September 30, 2020. (c) Variable interest rate based on the Eurodollar rate, which is currently determined by the 1, 2, 3 or 6-month LIBOR, with a floor of 1.0%, plus a fixed margin of 3.5%. (d) Interest rate for lease financing obligations is derived from the difference between total rent payment and calculated principal amortization over the life of lease agreements. US Treasury Loan On July 7, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Term Guarantors”), entered into the UST Tranche A Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Tranche A UST Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent and collateral agent and the UST Tranche B Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Tranche B UST Credit Agreement” and together with the Tranche A UST Credit Agreement, the “UST Credit Agreements”) with The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent and collateral agent, pursuant to which the United States Treasury (“UST”) committed to an aggregate of $700.0 million to the Company pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The obligations of the Company under the UST Credit Agreements are unconditionally guaranteed by the Term Guarantors. The UST Credit Agreements have maturity dates of September 30, 2024, with a single payment at maturity of the outstanding balance. The Tranche A UST Credit Agreement consists of a $300.0 million term loan and bears interest at a rate of Eurodollar rate (subject to a floor of 1.0%) plus a margin of 3.5% per annum, consisting of 1.50% in cash and the remainder paid-in-kind. Proceeds from the Tranche A UST Credit Agreement will primarily be used to meet the Company’s contractual obligations and maintain working capital. The Tranche B UST Credit Agreement consists of a $400.0 million term loan and bears interest at a rate of Eurodollar rate (subject to a floor of 1.0%) plus a margin of 3.5% per annum, paid in cash. Proceeds from the Tranche B UST Credit Agreement will be used predominantly for the acquisition of tractors and trailers. Each agreement requires that the Company must maintain minimum “Liquidity” (defined in the UST Credit Agreements to indicate that such amount is calculated as the Company’s unrestricted cash on hand plus the amount of “Availability” (as defined in the loan agreement for the ABL Facility (as defined below)) to the extent such Availability could be borrowed under the ABL Facility) of $125.0 million and a minimum Adjusted EBITDA commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, to be not less than $100.0 million for the four quarters ending December 31, 2021, $150.0 million for the four quarters ending March 31, 2022, and $200.0 million thereafter. Obligations under the UST Credit Agreements are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the escrow or controlled account supporting the respective UST Credit Facility, certain tractors and trailers (in the case of the UST Tranche B Credit Facility) and a perfected junior priority security interest (subject in each case to permitted liens) in substantially all other assets of the Company and the Term Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The UST Credit Agreements will be funded through a series of draws made over time as the proceeds are utilized for the purposes outlined by the agreements. Borrowings are subject to the various requirements stated in the UST Credit Agreements. As of September 30, 2020, $245.0 million of funds have been drawn on the Tranche A Credit Agreement and no funds have been drawn on the Tranche B UST Credit Agreement. The funds drawn after September 30, 2020 on the Tranche B UST Credit agreement are further described in the “Subsequent Events” footnote to the consolidated financial statements. The Company issued 15,943,753 shares of common stock as consideration related to the UST Credit Agreements , which has impacted both the capital surplus and common stock, for the par value per share. Accordingly, the fair value of those shares at issuance of approximately $ 46.7 million was recorded as a commitment fee that will be amortized into interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the availability of the UST funds, which ends on September 30, 2024. The Company classified the unamortized commitment fee both as a non- current asset, included within other assets , and as a reduction to long-term debt and financing, less current portion, for the remaining balance associated with the undrawn UST funds and the drawn UST funds, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. Prospectively, as the Company draws funds, a portion of the commitment fee will be reclassified from other assets to a reduction to long-term debt and financing, less current portion, based on the amount of UST funds drawn compared to total UST funds available. As of September 30, 2020, a total of $ 15.4 million of unamortized commitment fees are classified as a reduction to long-term debt and financing and the residual balance of $ 28.6 million remains in other assets. The shares issued to the UST are subject to a Voting Trust Agreement (the “Voting Trust Agreement”) entered on July 9, 2020 which provides that all shares of the Company’s common stock owned by the UST shall be delivered to a voting trust and voted in proportion as all other common stock shares are voted, subject to certain exceptions defined therein. Additionally, prior to one year after the date of the Voting Trust Agreement, the shares may not be transferred without either the Company’s consent or other certain exceptions defined therein. As a result of entering into the UST Credit Agreements, the Company incurred $12.2 million in debt issuance costs for the origination, legal and related fees. The debt issuance costs will be amortized into interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the UST funds, which ends September 30, 2024. The Company classified the debt issuance costs both as a non-current asset, included within other assets, and as a reduction to long-term debt and financing, less current portion, for the remaining balances associated with the undrawn UST Funds and the drawn UST funds, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. Prospectively, as the Company draws funds, a portion of the debt issuance costs will be reclassified from other assets to a reduction to long-term debt and financing, less current portion, based on the amount of UST funds drawn compared to total UST funds available. Adjusted EBITDA, defined in our UST Credit Agreements and the New Term Loan Agreement (defined below), as amended, (collectively, the “TL Agreements”) as “Consolidated EBITDA,” is a measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and is further adjusted for, among other things, letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals, restructuring charges, transaction costs related to issuances of debt, non-recurring consulting fees, non-cash impairment charges, integration costs, severance, non-recurring charges, the gains or losses from permitted dispositions, discontinued operations, and certain non-cash expenses, charges and losses (provided that if any of such non-cash expenses, charges or losses represents an accrual or reserve for potential cash items in any future period, the cash payment in respect thereof in such future period will be subtracted from Adjusted EBITDA in such future period to the extent paid). Certain expenses that qualify as adjustments are capped at 10.0% of the trailing-twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA, in aggregate. Adjustments subject to the 10.0% cap include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, integration costs, severance, and non-recurring charges. Additionally, all net gains from the disposition of properties are excluded from the definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Therefore any gains previously recognized in Adjusted EBITDA, as that term was previously defined in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in accordance with its definition in the Prior Term Loan Agreement, will not be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA under the UST Credit Agreements. New Term Loan On September 11, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Term Guarantors”), amended and restated the existing credit facilities under the credit agreement dated February 13, 2014 (the “Prior Term Loan Agreement”) and entered into a $600.0 million term loan agreement (“New Term Loan”) with funds managed by Apollo Global Management, LLC acting collectively as lead lender, and Cortland Products Corp, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The obligations of the Company under the agreement governing (the “New Term Loan Agreement”) are unconditionally guaranteed by the Term Guarantors. The New Term Loan has a maturity date of June 30, 2024, with a single payment due at maturity of the outstanding balance. The New Term Loan initially bore interest at Eurodollar rate (subject to a floor of 1.0%) plus a margin of 7.5% per annum, payable at least quarterly in cash, subject to a 1.0% margin step down in the event the Company achieves greater than $400.0 million in trailing-twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA. Obligations under the New Term Loan are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) assets of the Company and the Term Guarantors, including but not limited to all of the Company’s wholly owned terminals, tractors and trailers, subject to certain limited exceptions. On April 7, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “First New Term Loan Amendment”) to the New Term Loan Agreement as a result of expected future covenant and liquidity tightening due to unprecedented economic deterioration. Beginning the last two weeks of March 2020, our industry and the economy at-large experienced an unexpected and significant decline in economic activity due to the impact of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) and the resulting business shutdown and shelter-in-place orders made across North America by various governmental entities and private enterprises. The First New Term Loan Amendment principally provided additional liquidity allowing the Company to defer quarterly interest payments for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and the quarter ending June 30, 2020 with almost all of such interest to be paid-in-kind. The First New Term Loan Amendment also provided for a waiver with respect to the Consolidated EBITDA financial covenant during each fiscal quarter during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. The interest rate was retroactively reset to a fixed 14% during the first six months of 2020. On July 7, 2020, the Company and the Term Guarantors entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second New Term Loan Amendment”) to the New Term Loan Agreement. The material terms of the Second New Term Loan Amendment include, among other things, a consent to the refinancing and conforming changes to the description of collateral set forth in the UST Credit Agreements, permanently capitalizing previously paid-in-kind interest on borrowings under the New Term Loan Agreement, that all future interest shall accrue at Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 7.5% per annum and 6.5% per annum in the case of alternative base rate borrowings paid in cash and a requirement that the Company must maintain minimum Liquidity of $125.0 million and a minimum Consolidated EBITDA commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, to be not less than $100.0 million for the four quarters ending December 31, 2021, $150.0 million for the four quarters ending March 31, 2022 and $200.0 million thereafter, and an extension of the EBITDA covenant holiday through the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021. $450 Million ABL Facility On February 13, 2014, we entered into our $450 million asset-based loan facility (the “ABL Facility”) from a syndicate of banks arranged by Citizens Bank N.A. (formerly known as RBS Citizens, N.A.) (the “ABL Agent”), Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith and CIT Finance LLC. YRC Worldwide and our subsidiaries, YRC Freight, Reddaway, Holland and New Penn are borrowers under the ABL Facility, and certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are guarantors thereunder. Availability under the ABL Facility is derived by reducing the amount that may be advanced against eligible receivables plus eligible borrowing base cash by certain reserves imposed by the ABL Agent and our outstanding letters of credit and revolving loans. Eligible borrowing base cash is cash that is deposited from time to time into a segregated restricted account and is included in “Restricted amounts held in escrow” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At our option, borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at either: (i) the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.25%, as amended, or (ii) the base rate (as defined in the ABL Facility) plus 1.25%, as amended. Letter of credit fees equal to the applicable LIBOR margin in effect, 2.25% as amended, are charged quarterly in arrears on the average daily stated amount of all letters of credit outstanding during the quarter. Unused line fees are charged quarterly in arrears (such unused line fee percentage is equal to 0.375% per annum if the average revolver usage is less than 50% or 0.25% per annum if the average revolver usage is greater than 50%). The ABL Facility is secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject to permitted liens) in accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts and other assets related to accounts receivable of the Company and the other loan parties and an additional second priority security interest (subject to permitted liens) in substantially all remaining assets of the borrowers and the guarantors other than the CDA collateral. The ABL Facility contains conditions, representations and warranties, events of default and indemnification provisions that are customary for financings of this type, including, but not limited to, a springing minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, borrowing base reporting, limitations on incurrence of debt, investments, liens on assets, certain sale and leaseback transactions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, purchases and sales of assets, and restricted payments. Certain provisions relating to investments, restricted payments and capital expenditures are relaxed upon meeting specified payment conditions or debt repayment conditions. On July 7, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 6 (the “ABL Treasury Amendment”) in which the maturity date of the ABL Facility was extended to January 9, 2024 and it included a consent to the refinancing and conforming changes to the description of collateral set forth in the UST Credit Agreements as well as an increase of 0.5% to applicable margin to borrowings under the ABL Facility (which increase is already reflected above). Liquidity Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our ABL Facility and any prospective net cash flow from operations. As of September 30, 2020, our maximum availability under our ABL Facility was $61.0 million, and our managed accessibility was $19.6 million. “Managed Accessibility” represents the maximum amount we would access on the ABL Facility and is adjusted for eligible receivables plus eligible borrowing base cash measured as of September 30, 2020. Maximum availability is derived by reducing the amount that may be advanced against eligible receivables plus eligible borrowing base cash by certain reserves imposed by the ABL Agent and our $353.3 million of outstanding letters of credit. Our Managed Accessibility of $19.6 million represents the maximum amount we would access on the ABL Facility and is adjusted for eligible receivables plus eligible borrowing base cash measured at September 30, 2020. The credit agreement governing the ABL Facility permits adjustments from eligible borrowing base cash to restricted cash prior to the compliance measurement date of October 15, 2020. For the December 31, 2019 borrowing base certificate, which was filed in January of 2020, we transferred $29.0 million of cash into restricted cash as permitted under the ABL Facility, which transfer effectively put our cash and cash equivalents and Managed Accessibility to $80.4 million. The table below summarizes cash and cash equivalents and Managed Accessibility: (in millions) September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 434.1 $ 109.2 Amounts placed (into)/out of restricted cash subsequent to period end — (29.0 ) Managed Accessibility 19.6 0.2 Total cash and cash equivalents and Managed Accessibility $ 453.7 $ 80.4 Covenants The TL Agreements include a financial covenant requirement for the Company to maintain a minimum Liquidity. The Company is in compliance with the applicable financial covenant as of September 30, 2020. The only applicable financial covenant until December 31, 2021 is the Liquidity requirement of $125.0 million. With Liquidity as of September 30, 2020 of $453.7 million, UST loan availability, and forecasted operating results, management concludes it probable the Company will meet this covenant requirement for the next twelve months. Fair Value Measurement The book value and estimated fair values of our long-term debt, including current maturities and other financial instruments, are summarized as follows: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 (in millions) Book Value Fair Value Book Value Fair Value New Term Loan $ 581.0 $ 593.8 $ 559.9 $ 559.3 ABL Facility — — — — UST Loan Tranche A 227.2 227.2 — — UST Loan Tranche B — — — — Lease financing obligations 225.9 223.0 231.3 233.7 Second A&R CDA 69.1 67.0 71.0 71.7 Total debt $ 1,103.2 $ 1,111.0 $ 862.2 $ 864.7 The fair values of the New Term Loan and the Second Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement (the “Second A&R CDA”) were estimated based on observable prices (level two inputs for fair value measurements). The fair value of the UST Loan Tranche A is estimated using certain inputs that are unobservable (level three input for fair value measurement). The fair value of the lease financing obligations are estimated using a publicly traded secured loan with similar characteristics (level three input for fair value measurement).

The pension settlement charge was triggered due to the amount of lump sum benefit payments distributed from plan assets in 2020. The lump sum benefit payments reduce pension obligations and are funded from existing pension plan assets and therefore do not impact the Company’s cash balance. As a result of this settlement, the Company was required to measure the Yellow Plan as of July 31, 2020. While plan liabilities increased by $37.5 million largely due to decreasing discount rates, plan assets specific to the Yellow Plan increased by $146.9 million as a result of larger than expected return on plan assets held in a master trust over our three pension plans. The return on plan assets was achieved primarily on the strength of one investment where we have trading restrictions in place until late in the fourth quarter of 2020. The net impact of the remeasurement yielded an improvement in the funded status of the Yellow Plan from a net liability of $118.5 million as of December 31, 2019 to a net asset of $0.2 million as of September 30, 2020. The other two plans held in the same master trust, the Roadway LLC Pension Plan and the YRC Retirement Pension Plan, have not been remeasured as they did not trigger a similar settlement charge and will be remeasured on December 31, 2020. We have contributed $16.6 million to our Company-sponsored pension plans through September 30, 2020.

Income Taxes Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 83.8% and 35.1%, respectively, compared to 3.0% and 1.2%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The significant items impacting the 2020 rates include a benefit from the reversal of liability for an uncertain tax position resulting from statute expiration, a benefit recognized due to application of the exception to the rules regarding intraperiod tax allocation, a provision for net state and foreign taxes, certain permanent items and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2020. The significant items impacting the 2019 rates include a benefit recognized due to application of the exception to the rules regarding intraperiod tax allocation, a provision for net state and foreign taxes, certain permanent items and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance that had been projected for December 31, 2019. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets were subject to a valuation allowance .

James Hannum v. YRC Freight, Inc.; Roadway Express, Inc.; and Yellow Transportation, Inc., Class Action Securities Complaint In January 2019, a purported class action lawsuit captioned Christina Lewis v. YRC Worldwide Inc., et al., Shareholder Derivative Complaint In May 2019, a putative shareholder filed an action derivatively and on behalf of the Company naming James L. Welch, Jamie G. Pierson, Stephanie D. Fisher, Raymond J. Bromark, Douglas A. Carty, William R. Davidson, Matthew A. Doheny, Robert L. Friedman, James E. Hoffman, Michael J. Kneeland, Patricia M. Nazemetz, and James F. Winestock individually as defendants and the Company as the nominal defendant. In an amended complaint, filed on October 15, 2019, Darren D. Hawkins was added as a defendant. The case, captioned Hastey v. Welch, et al. In October 2019, another putative shareholder filed an action derivatively and on behalf of the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware naming the same defendants as did the October 15, 2019 amended complaint in the Hastey Broughton v. Hawkins, et al. Hastey Broughton Other Legal Matters We are involved in litigation or proceedings that arise in ordinary business activities. When possible, we insure against these risks to the extent we deem prudent, but no assurance can be given that the nature or amount of such insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings. Many of these insurance policies contain self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent. Based on our current assessment of information available as of the date of these consolidated financial statements, we believe that our consolidated financial statements include adequate provisions for estimated costs and losses that may be incurred within the litigation and proceedings to which we are a party.
