During the thirteen-week period ended March 30, 2019, the Company granted RSUs with a performance condition. RSUs with a performance condition granted on February 1, 2019 may vest on January 31 of 2022, 2023 and 2024 based on growth in operating income and pre-tax income per share from continuing operations attributable to Landstar System, Inc. and subsidiary as compared to the results from the 2018 fiscal year. Outstanding RSUs at both December 29, 2018 and March 30, 2019 include RSUs with a performance condition and RSUs with a market condition, as further described in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company recognized approximately $1,307,000 and $3,153,000 of share-based compensation expense related to RSU awards in the thirteen-week periods ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. As of March 30, 2019, there was a maximum of $27.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSU awards granted under the Plans with an expected average remaining life of approximately 3.8 years. With respect to RSU awards with a performance condition, the amount of future compensation expense to be recognized will be determined based on future operating results. Stock Options The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s outstanding stock options under the Plans: Number of Options Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (000s) Options outstanding at December 29, 2018 89,114 $ 50.44 Exercised (16,400 ) $ 49.34 Options outstanding at March 30, 2019 72,714 $ 50.68 2.9 $ 4,269 Options exercisable at March 30, 2019 72,714 $ 50.68 2.9 $ 4,269 The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the thirteen-week periods ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 was $944,000 and $2,463,000, respectively. As of March 30, 2019, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under the Plans. Non-vested Restricted Stock and Deferred Stock Units The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s outstanding shares of non-vested restricted stock and Deferred Stock Units (defined below) under the Plans: Number of Shares and Deferred Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Non-vested at December 29, 2018 55,987 $ 93.66 Granted 21,050 $ 102.83 Vested (13,772 ) $ 85.40 Non-vested at March 30, 2019 63,265 $ 98.51 The fair value of each share of non-vested restricted stock issued and Deferred Stock Unit granted under the Plans is based on the fair value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Shares of non-vested restricted stock are generally subject to vesting in three equal annual installments either on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of the grant or the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the date of the grant, or 100% on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. For restricted stock awards granted under the 2013 DSCP plan, each recipient may elect to defer receipt of shares and instead receive restricted stock units (“Deferred Stock Units”), which represent contingent rights to receive shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of recipient separation from service from the Board of Directors, or, if earlier, upon a change in control event of the Company. Deferred Stock Units become vested 100% on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. Deferred Stock Units do not represent actual ownership in shares of the Company’s common stock and the recipient will not have voting rights or other incidents of ownership until the shares are issued. However, Deferred Stock Units do contain the right to receive dividend equivalent payments prior to settlement into shares. As of March 30, 2019, there was $4,718,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares of restricted stock and Deferred Stock Units granted under the Plans. The unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested shares of restricted stock and Deferred Stock Units is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. |

Outstanding RSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share attributable to Landstar System, Inc. and subsidiary for all periods because the performance metric requirements or market condition for vesting had not been satisfied. |

Investments maturing less than one year from the balance sheet date are included in short-term investments and investments maturing more than one year from the balance sheet date are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Management performs an analysis of the nature of the unrealized losses on available-for-sale investments to determine whether such losses are other-than-temporary. Unrealized losses, representing the excess of the purchase price of an investment over its fair value as of the end of a period, considered to be other-than-temporary, are to be included as a charge in the statement of income, while unrealized losses considered to be temporary are to be included as a component of equity. Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets are classified within Level 1. Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, are classified within Level 2. As Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information. Any transfers between levels are recognized as of the beginning of any reporting period. Fair value of the bond portfolio was determined using Level 1 inputs related to money market investments and Level 2 inputs related to investment-grade corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and direct obligations of government agencies. Unrealized gains, net of unrealized losses, on the investments in the bond portfolio were $83,000 at March 30, 2019, while unrealized losses, net of unrealized gains, on the investments in the bond portfolio were $1,184,000 at December 29, 2018, respectively. The amortized cost and fair values of available-for-sale investments are as follows at March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018 (in thousands): Gross Gross Amortized Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Fair Value March 30, 2019 Money market investments $ 12,719 $ — $ — $ 12,719 Asset-backed securities 518 — 2 516 Corporate bonds and direct obligations of government agencies 100,994 428 343 101,079 Total $ 114,231 $ 428 $ 345 $ 114,314 December 29, 2018 Money market investments $ 11,714 $ — $ — $ 11,714 Asset-backed securities 624 — 4 620 Corporate bonds and direct obligations of government agencies 101,021 33 1,213 99,841 Total $ 113,359 $ 33 $ 1,217 $ 112,175 For those available-for-sale investments with unrealized losses at March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018, the following table summarizes the duration of the unrealized loss (in thousands): Less than 12 months 12 months or longer Total Fair Value Unrealized Loss Fair Value Unrealized Loss Fair Value Unrealized Loss March 30, 2019 Asset-backed securities $ — $ — $ 516 $ 2 $ 516 $ 2 Corporate bonds and direct obligations of government agencies 13,900 31 48,181 312 62,081 343 Total $ 13,900 $ 31 $ 48,697 $ 314 $ 62,597 $ 345 December 29, 2018 Asset-backed securities $ — $ — $ 620 $ 4 $ 620 $ 4 Corporate bonds and direct obligations of government agencies 45,960 354 42,803 859 88,763 1,213 Total $ 45,960 $ 354 $ 43,423 $ 863 $ 89,383 $ 1,217 The Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis of these securities as it does not intend to sell, and does not anticipate being required to sell, these securities before recovery of the cost basis. For these reasons, the Company does not consider the unrealized losses on these securities to be other-than-temporary at March 30, 2019. |

Leases | (9) Leases Landstar’s noncancelable leases are primarily comprised of finance leases for the acquisition of new trailing equipment. Each finance lease for the acquisition of trailing equipment is a five year lease with a $ 1 Most of Landstar’s operating leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at Landstar’s sole discretion, and, as such, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. Landstar regularly evaluates the renewal options, and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, Landstar includes the renewal period in the lease term. As most of Landstar’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, Landstar utilized its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. Landstar has a centrally managed treasury function; therefore, based on the applicable lease terms and the current economic environment, we apply a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate. The components of lease cost for finance leases and operating leases for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2019 were (in thousands): Finance leases: Amortization of right-of-use assets $ 6,624 Interest on lease liability 1,018 Total finance lease cost 7,642 Operating leases: Lease cost 1,064 Variable lease cost — Sublease income (1,325 ) Total operating lease (income)/cost (261 ) Total lease cost $ 7,381 A summary of the lease classification on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 2019 is as follows (in thousands): Assets: Operating lease right-of-use assets Other assets $ 589 Finance lease assets Operating property, less accumulated depreciation and amortization 166,833 Total lease assets $ 167,422 The following table reconciles the undiscounted cash flows for the finance and operating leases at March 30, 2019 to the finance and operating lease liabilities recorded on the balance sheet (in thousands): Finance Leases Operating Leases 2019 Remainder $ 34,217 $ 215 2020 39,481 137 2021 25,066 119 2022 15,902 118 2023 8,875 41 Thereafter — — Total future minimum lease payments 123,541 $ 630 Less amount representing interest (2.1% to 4.4%) 7,111 41 Present value of minimum lease payments $ 116,430 $ 589 Current maturities of long-term debt 41,184 Long-term debt, excluding current maturities 75,246 Other current liabilities 248 Deferred income taxes and other noncurrent liabilities 341 The weighted average remaining lease term and the weighted average discount rate for finance and operating leases as of March 30, 2019 were: Finance Leases Operating Leases Weighted average remaining lease term (years) 3.3 3.3 Weighted average discount rate 3.2 % 4.0 % |

Commitments and Contingencies | (10) Commitments and Contingencies Short-term investments include $39,958,000 in current maturities of investments held by the Company’s insurance segment at March 30, 2019. The non-current portion of the bond portfolio of $74,356,000 is included in other assets. The short-term investments, together with $29,314,000 of non-current investments, provide collateral for the $62,345,000 of letters of credit issued to guarantee payment of insurance claims. As of March 30, 2019, Landstar also had $34,369,000 of additional letters of credit outstanding under the Company’s Credit Agreement. Reference is made to the descriptions of certain pending legal proceedings in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018. There have been no material developments with respect to any such pending legal proceedings during the thirteen-week period ended March 30, 2019. The Company is involved in certain claims and pending litigation arising from the normal conduct of business. Many of these claims are covered in whole or in part by insurance. Based on knowledge of the facts and, in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, management believes that adequate provisions have been made for probable losses with respect to the resolution of all such claims and pending litigation and that the ultimate outcome, after provisions therefor, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company, but could have a material effect on the results of operations in a given quarter or year. |

Change in Accounting Estimate for Self-Insured Claims | (11) Change in Accounting Estimate for Self-Insured Claims Landstar provides for the estimated costs of self-insured claims primarily on an actuarial basis. The amount recorded for the estimated liability for claims incurred is based upon the facts and circumstances known on the applicable balance sheet date. The ultimate resolution of these claims may be for an amount greater or less than the amount estimated by management. The Company continually revises its existing claim estimates as new or revised information becomes available on the status of each claim. Historically, the Company has experienced both favorable and unfavorable development of prior years’ claims estimates.
