II. Financial Overview and Trading History
TCAM’s Current Situation
• TCAM’s operating and financial performance has lagged the broader truckload industry
• The issue of unseated tractors has slowed income statement improvements.
• Erratic quarter-to-quarter performance.
• TCAM has had difficulty fully-capitalizing on the strong freight environment.
• Stock Price Performance has under-performed relative to industry
• Balance Sheet
• High leverage ratios compared to other carriers.
• Driver Crisis
• Declining driver base causing reverse operating leverage.
• Seated tractors have declined from 1,908 in 2001 to less than 1,300 currently.
• Although driver turnover is low relative to competitors, TCAM has experienced less success in maintaining and growing driver base relative to publicly-traded competitors.
• Micro-cap Public Company Lacking “Sponsorship”
• TCAM is bearing the cost, but is not receiving the benefits of public company status — access to capital, currency for acquisitions, etc.
• No research coverage from top tier transportation analysts.
• Trading volume at low end of the range of TLs.

Valuation Methodology
Stephens reviewed and considered the following methodologies in valuing TCAM:
• Comparable Company Analysis: Examined the trading multiples of selected publicly traded comparable companies offering services similar to TCAM. This analysis considered the trading multiples of the truckload industry, adjusting the multiples to reflect the relative size, profitability and growth of TCAM.
• Comparable Transaction Analysis: Reviewed historical multiples paid in acquisitions of businesses similar to TCAM over the past five years. This analysis utilized the relevant transaction multiples of EBIT and EPS and applied them to TCAM’s projected values for 2005 to estimate an implied per share value for TCAM in a change of control transaction.
• Discounted Cash Flow Analysis: Derived a valuation from the present value of the free cash flows projected for TCAM over the next five years and a terminal value based on an estimated perpetual growth rate. The discount rate for this analysis was based on the calculated weighted average cost of capital for TCAM based on available public information and adjusted for size.
• Leverage Buyout Analysis: Utilized TCAM projections for the next five years, estimated current debt capacity, utilized expected private equity returns, and assumed an exit EBIT multiple of 10.0x to derive a current valuation range.
• Premiums Analysis: Analyzed premiums paid for year-to-date transactions that ranged in size from $50 million to $500 million. Applied an applicable range of premiums from the analysis to TCAM’s current share to estimate an implied per share value in a change of control transaction.
