NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(A)

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) and all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”), and variable interest entities (VIEs) required to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K except for the accounting changes described below relating to earnings per share data, business combinations and certain fair value measurements, and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. These financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. During the fourth quarter of 2008, we decided to discontinue operations in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile and transition out of specific Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) customer contracts in Europe. These operations will be reported as part of continuing operations in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements until all operations cease. Further, in connection with preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and in accordance with the recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” we evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2009 through the date of issuance, July 23, 2009.

(B)

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position (FSP) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities.” This FSP provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Our nonvested stock (time-vested restricted stock rights, market-based restricted stock rights and restricted stock units) are considered participating securities since the share-based awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividend equivalents irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. We adopted the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1 effective January 1, 2009 and computed earnings per common share using the two-class method for all periods presented. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 reduced full year 2008, 2007 and 2006 diluted earnings per common share by $0.02, $0.02 and $0.01, respectively, and reduced both second quarter and year-to-date 2008 diluted earnings per common share by $0.01. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 had no impact on our second quarter 2009 diluted earnings per common share and reduced our year-to-date 2009 diluted earnings per common share by $0.01. Refer to Note (E), “Earnings per Share,” for additional disclosures.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations.” This statement provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination and requires, among other things, that transaction costs in a business combination be expensed as incurred. SFAS No. 141R was effective for business combinations closing after January 1, 2009. Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141R without a material impact to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). We adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2009 for all other nonfinancial assets and liabilities, including our vehicles held for sale. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Refer to Note (L), “Fair Value Measurements,” for additional disclosures.

ACQUISITIONS

Edart Leasing LLC Acquisition — On February 2, 2009, we acquired the assets of Edart Leasing LLC (“Edart”), which included Edart’s fleet of approximately 1,600 vehicles and more than 340 contractual customers from Edart’s five locations in Connecticut for a purchase price of $87.7 million, of which $81.3 million was paid as of June 30, 2009. The initial recording of the transaction was

based on preliminary valuation assessments and is subject to change. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we made purchase price adjustments primarily related to revenue earning equipment valuation which were not significant. As of June 30, 2009, goodwill and customer relationship intangibles related to the Edart acquisition were $16.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The combined network operates under the Ryder name, complementing our Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment market coverage in the Northeast. We also acquired approximately 525 vehicles for remarketing. The asset purchase was accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141R as an acquisition of a business.

Transpacific Container Terminal Ltd. and CRSA Logistics Ltd. Acquisition— On December 19, 2008, we acquired the assets of Transpacific Container Terminal Ltd. and CRSA Logistics Ltd. (“CRSA”) located in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, as well as CRSA’s operations in Hong Kong and Shanghai, China. The companies specialize in trans-Pacific, end-to-end transportation management and supply chain services primarily for Canadian retailers. This acquisition adds complementary solutions to our SCS business segment capabilities including consolidation services in key Asian hubs and off-dock deconsolidation operations in Canada. The purchase price and initial recording of the transaction was based on preliminary valuation assessments and is subject to change. The purchase price was $14.6 million, of which $12.2 million was paid as of June 30, 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we made purchase price adjustments primarily related to intangible valuations which were not significant. The terms of the asset purchase agreement provide for up to $4 million in contingent consideration to be paid to the seller if certain financial metrics are achieved. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, contingent consideration will be accounted for as additional purchase price when the contingency is resolved.

2008 FMS Acquisitions— During 2008, we completed a series of acquisitions in our FMS business segment, for a total purchase price of $239.6 million, of which $205.8 million was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2008. We acquired all the assets of Gordon Truck Leasing, Gator Leasing Inc. and Lily Transportation Corporation. As of June 30, 2009, goodwill and customer relationship intangibles related to the 2008 FMS acquisitions were $56.5 million and $13.7 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, purchase price adjustments were not significant. The 2008 FMS acquisitions were accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, as acquisitions of a business.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we paid $4.2 million related to acquisitions completed in prior years. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we paid $1.3 million related to acquisitions completed in prior years.

Pro Forma Information— The operating results of the acquired companies have been included in the consolidated condensed financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The following table provides the unaudited pro forma revenue, net earnings and earnings per common share as if the results of the 2009 and 2008 acquisitions had been included in operations commencing January 1, 2008. This pro forma information is not necessarily indicative either of the combined results of operations that actually would have been realized had the acquisitions been consummated during the periods for which the pro forma information is presented, or of future results.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Share-based incentive awards are provided to employees under the terms of various share-based compensation plans (collectively, the “Plans”). The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards under the Plans principally include at-the-money stock options, nonvested stock and cash awards. Share-based compensation expense is generally recorded in “Salaries and employee-related costs” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

The following table provides information on share-based compensation expense and income tax benefits recognized during the periods:

	2009			2008			2009			2008
	(In thousands)

Share-based compensation expense		3,297			4,614			8,068			8,249
Income tax benefit		(1,020	)		(1,521	)		(2,539	)		(2,815	)

Share-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	2,277			3,093		$	5,529			5,434

Total unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to share-based compensation arrangements at June 30, 2009 was $30.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately 900,000 and 700,000 stock options, respectively, were granted under the Plans. These awards, which generally vest one-third each year, are fully vested three years from the grant date and have contractual terms of seven years. The fair value of each option award at the date of grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model. The weighted-average fair value per option granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $9.23 and $14.00, respectively.

During each of the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately 200,000 awards of restricted stock rights and restricted stock units (RSUs) were granted under the Plans. The majority of the restricted stock rights granted during the periods included a market-based vesting provision. For the 2009 grant, employees only receive the grant of stock if Ryder’s cumulative average total shareholder return (TSR) at least meets the S&P 500 cumulative average TSR over an applicable three-year period. For the 2008 grant, employees only receive the grant of stock if Ryder’s TSR at least meets the S&P 500 TSR over an applicable three-year period. The fair value of the market-based restricted stock rights on the grant date was estimated using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation. The weighted-average fair value per market-based restricted stock right and RSU granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $18.09 and $51.39, respectively. Stock awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008, also included time-vested restricted stock rights which entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the awards vest over a three-year period. The fair value of the time-vested awards is determined and fixed on the grant date based on Ryder’s stock price. The weighted-average fair value per time-vested restricted stock right granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $59.25.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, employees who received market-based restricted stock rights also received market-based cash awards. The awards have the same vesting provisions as the market-based restricted stock rights except that Ryder’s TSR needs to at least meet the TSR of the 33^rd percentile of the S&P 500. The cash awards are accounted for as liability awards as the cash settlement amount is based upon the price of our common stock. As a result, the liability is adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the cash awards was estimated using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to these cash awards in addition to the share-based compensation expense reported in the previous table. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $0.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to these cash awards in addition to the share-based compensation expense reported in the previous table.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1 which required us to use the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.

Restructuring and other charges, net of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 represented charges of $1.1 million related to exiting SCS operations in South America and Europe and $0.2 million related to workforce reduction charges. Exit charges included $2.2 million of employee severance and benefit costs related to retention and other bonuses partially offset by $1.5 million for the release of severance liabilities as we transition to new service providers. The exit charges also included a benefit of $0.5 million related to reversal of previously recorded contract termination costs which are being negotiated with our suppliers as we unwind our business in South America offset by $0.4 million of additional contract termination costs. We also recorded exit charges of approximately $0.5 million of restructuring plan implementation costs, mostly professional service fees.

Restructuring and other charges, net of $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 represented charges of $2.9 million related to exiting SCS operations in South America and Europe and $2.6 million of workforce reduction charges. Exit charges included $4.1 million of employee severance and benefit costs related to retention and other bonuses partially offset by $2.8 million for the release of severance liabilities as we transition to new service providers and refine our estimates. Exit charges also included a charge of $0.7 million related to additional contract termination costs offset by a benefit of $0.5 million related to the reversal of previously recorded contract termination costs which are being negotiated with our suppliers as we unwind our business in South America and Europe. We also recorded exit charges of $1.4 million of restructuring plan implementation costs, mostly professional service fees. We eliminated approximately 30 positions in 2009 as part of workforce reductions under our continued cost containment initiatives in addition to the approximately 700 positions eliminated as part of the fourth quarter 2008 actions.

Restructuring and other charges (recoveries), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were not significant.

INCOME TAXES

Uncertain Tax Positions

We are subject to tax audits in numerous jurisdictions in the U.S. and around the world. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. In the normal course of business, we are subject to challenges from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other tax authorities regarding amounts of taxes due. These challenges may alter the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions, or the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. As part of our calculation of the provision for income taxes on earnings, we determine whether the benefits of our tax positions are at least more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, we accrue the largest amount of the benefit that is more likely than not of being sustained in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Such accruals require management to make estimates and judgments with respect to the ultimate outcome of a tax audit. Actual results could vary materially from these estimates.

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(unaudited)

The following is a summary of tax years that are no longer subject to examination:

Federal— audits of our U.S. federal income tax returns are closed through fiscal year 2006. In the first quarter of 2009, the IRS completed their examination of our U.S. income tax returns for 2004 through 2006. The statute of limitation for the 2004, 2005 and 2006 years will expire on December 31, 2009, September 15, 2009 and September 15, 2010, respectively.

State— for the majority of states, we are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2004.

Foreign— we are no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2001 in Canada and Brazil, and 2003 and 2006 in Mexico and the U.K., respectively, which are our major foreign tax jurisdictions. In Brazil, we were assessed $13.0 million, including penalties and interest, related to the tax due on the sale of our outbound auto carriage business in 2001. We believe it is more likely than not that our tax position will ultimately be sustained and no amounts have been reserved for this matter.

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding the federal benefit received from state positions) was $53.3 million and $51.7 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign tax positions may decrease by $1.1 million by June 30, 2010, if audits are completed or tax years close.

Like-Kind Exchange Program

We have a like-kind exchange program for certain of our revenue earning equipment operating in the U.S. Pursuant to the program, we dispose of vehicles and acquire replacement vehicles in a form whereby tax gains on disposal of eligible vehicles are deferred. To qualify for like-kind exchange treatment, we exchange, through a qualified intermediary, eligible vehicles being disposed of with vehicles being acquired allowing us to generally carryover the tax basis of the vehicles sold (“like-kind exchanges”). The program is expected to result in a material deferral of federal and state income taxes. As part of the program, the proceeds from the sale of eligible vehicles are restricted for the acquisition of replacement vehicles and other specified applications. Due to the structure utilized to facilitate the like-kind exchanges, the qualified intermediary that holds the proceeds from the sales of eligible vehicles and the entity that holds the vehicles to be acquired under the program are required to be consolidated in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, these consolidated entities had total assets of $20.5 million and $70.5 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had $19.7 million and $32.5 million, respectively, of restricted cash for all like-kind exchange programs included within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Tax Law Change

On February 19, 2009, the State of Wisconsin enacted changes to its tax system, which included mandatory unitary combined reporting. The impact of this change resulted in a favorable non-cash adjustment to deferred income taxes and increased net earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2009 by $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share.

Effective Tax Rate

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first half of 2009 increased to 44.6% and 50.0%, respectively, as compared to 44.1% and 41.9%, in the same periods in 2008, respectively, due mainly to the impact of non-deductible expenses on lower projected pre-tax earnings.

(1)		We had unamortized original issue discounts of $12.6 million and $12.0 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

(2)		Commercial paper borrowings are supported by the long-term revolving credit facility; therefore we have classified the commercial paper as long-term debt.

(3)		The notional amount of executed interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $250.0 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

In April 2009, we executed a new $875 million global revolving credit facility with a syndicate of thirteen lending institutions. This facility replaces a $870 million credit facility that was scheduled to mature in May 2010. The new global credit facility matures in April 2012 and is used primarily to finance working capital and provide support for the issuance of unsecured commercial paper in the U.S. and Canada. This facility can also be used to issue up to $75 million in letters of credit (there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility at June 30, 2009). At our option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on LIBOR, prime, federal funds or local equivalent rates. The credit facility’s current annual facility fee is 37.5 basis points, which applies to the total facility size of $875 million, and is based on Ryder’s current credit ratings. The credit facility contains no provisions limiting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to Ryder’s business operations; however, the credit facility does contain standard representations and warranties, events of default, cross-default provisions, and certain affirmative and negative covenants. In order to maintain availability of funding, we must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated tangible net worth, of less than or equal to 300%. Tangible net worth, as defined in the credit facility, includes 50% of our deferred federal income tax liability as well as a reduction equal to our book value of intangibles. The ratio at June 30, 2009 was 174%. At June 30, 2009, $612.6 million was available under the credit facility.

In September 2008, we entered into a trade receivables purchase and sale program, pursuant to which we sell certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to Ryder Receivable Funding II, L.L.C. (RRF LLC), a bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiary of Ryder, that in turn may sell, on a revolving basis, an ownership interest in certain of these accounts receivable to a receivables conduit or committed purchasers. We use this program to provide additional liquidity to fund our operations, particularly when it is cost effective to do so. The costs under the program may vary based on changes in our unsecured debt ratings and changes in interest rates. The available proceeds that may be received under the program are limited to $250 million. If no event occurs which causes early termination, the 364-day program will expire on September 8, 2009. We are currently in the process of renewing the program through September 2010. The program contains provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations or the collectibility of the securitized receivables. At June 30, 2009, there were no amounts outstanding under the program. At December 31, 2008, $190.0 million was outstanding under the program and was included within “Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt” on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2008, the amount of collateralized receivables under the program was $209.7 million.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We carry various assets and liabilities at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The most significant assets and liabilities are vehicles held for sale, which are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, investments held in Rabbi Trusts and derivatives. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1		Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2		Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3		Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consistent with the fair value hierarchy provisions of SFAS No. 157:

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for these items, as well as the general classification of such items pursuant to the fair value hierarchy of SFAS No. 157:

Investments held in Rabbi Trusts —The investments include exchange-traded equity securities and mutual funds. Fair values for these investments were based on quoted prices in active markets and were therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Interest rate swap— The derivative is a pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swap based on the LIBOR rate and is designated as a fair value hedge under SFAS No. 133. Fair value was based on a model-driven valuation using the LIBOR rate, which was observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swap. Therefore, our interest rate swap was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign exchange contracts— The derivatives are forward foreign currency exchange contracts used to mitigate the risk of foreign currency movements on intercompany transactions and are designated as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133. Fair value was based on a model-driven valuation using the observable forward foreign exchange rates, which was observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the contracts. Therefore, our foreign exchange contracts were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents our assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis consistent with the fair value hierarchy provisions of SFAS No. 157:

(1)		Total losses represent fair value adjustments for all vehicles held for sale throughout the period for which fair value was less than carrying value.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for these items, as well as the general classification of such items pursuant to the fair value hierarchy of SFAS No. 157:

Revenue earning equipment —Represents revenue earning equipment held for sale which is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, we stratify our fleet by vehicle type (tractors, trucks, trailers), weight class, age and other relevant characteristics and create classes of similar assets for analysis purposes. Fair value was determined based upon recent market prices obtained from our own sales experience for sales of each class of similar assets and vehicle condition. Therefore, our revenue earning equipment held for sale was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2009, the net carrying value of revenue earning equipment held for sale was $95.3 million, of which $48.5 million was recorded at fair value less costs to sell of $0.9 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded a loss to reflect changes in fair value of $14.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively, within “Depreciation expense” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded a loss to reflect changes in fair value of $26.7 million and $14.0 million, respectively, within “Depreciation expense” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. At December 31, 2008, the net carrying value of revenue earning equipment held for sale was $93.8 million.

Total fair value of debt at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was approximately $2.65 billion and $2.55 billion, respectively. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

DERIVATIVES

In February 2008, we issued $250 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in March 2013. Concurrently, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $250 million maturing in March 2013. The swap was designated as a fair value hedge whereby we receive fixed interest rate payments in exchange for making variable interest rate payments. The differential to be

paid or received is accrued and recognized as interest expense. At June 30, 2009, the interest rate swap agreement effectively changed $250 million of fixed-rate debt with an interest rate of 6.00% to LIBOR-based floating-rate debt at a rate of 3.93%. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are offset by changes in the fair value of the debt instrument. Accordingly, there is no ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swap.

The location and amount of gains (losses) on derivative instruments and related hedged items reported in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings were as follows:

GUARANTEES

We have executed various agreements with third parties that contain standard indemnifications that may require us to indemnify a third party against losses arising from a variety of matters such as lease obligations, financing agreements, environmental matters, and agreements to sell business assets. In each of these instances, payment by Ryder is contingent on the other party bringing about a claim under the procedures outlined in the specific agreement. Normally, these procedures allow Ryder to dispute the other party’s claim. Additionally, our obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of the amount and (or) timing of any claim. We have entered into individual indemnification agreements with each of our independent directors, through which we will indemnify such director acting in good faith against any and all losses, expenses and liabilities arising out of such director’s service as a director of Ryder. The maximum amount of potential future payments under these agreements is generally unlimited.

We cannot predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under certain of these agreements, including the indemnification agreements, due to the contingent nature of the potential obligations and the distinctive provisions that are involved in each individual agreement. Historically, no such payments made by Ryder have had a material adverse effect on our business. We believe that if a loss were incurred in any of these matters, the loss would not result in a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the maximum determinable exposure of each type of guarantee and the corresponding liability, if any, recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets were as follows:

(1)		Amounts exclude contingent rentals associated with residual value guarantees on certain vehicles held under operating leases for which the guarantees are conditioned upon disposal of the leased vehicles prior to the end of their lease term. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Ryder’s maximum exposure for such guarantees was $175.3 million and $200.0 million, respectively, with $2.8 million and $2.4 million recorded as a liability at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding totaling $265.0 million and $249.2 million, respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims. Certain of these letters of credit and surety bonds guarantee insurance activities associated with insurance claim liabilities transferred in conjunction with the sale of our automotive transport business, reported as a discontinued operation in previous years. To date, the insurance claims, representing per-

claim deductibles payable under third-party insurance policies, have been paid and continue to be paid by the company that assumed such liabilities. However, if all or a portion of the estimated outstanding assumed claims of approximately $8.1 million at June 30, 2009 are unable to be paid, the third-party insurers may have recourse against certain of the outstanding letters of credit provided by Ryder in order to satisfy the unpaid claim deductibles. In order to reduce our potential exposure to these claims, during the quarter we drew upon a $7.5 million outstanding letter of credit provided by the purchaser and recorded a deposit and corresponding liability at June 30, 2009. Periodically, an actuarial valuation is made in order to better estimate the amount of these outstanding insurance claim liabilities.

(O)

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

In December 2007, our Board of Directors authorized a $300 million discretionary share repurchase program over a period not to exceed two years. Additionally, our Board of Directors authorized a separate two-year anti-dilutive repurchase program. Under the anti-dilutive program, management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the lesser of the number of shares issued to employees upon the exercise of stock options or through the employee stock purchase plan from the period beginning on September 1, 2007 to December 12, 2009, or 2 million shares. Share repurchases of common stock under both plans may be made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management may establish prearranged written plans for the Company under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the December 2007 programs, which allow for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, we repurchased and retired 925,000 shares under the $300 million program at an aggregate cost of $63.6 million, and 509,636 shares under the anti-dilutive repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $35.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we repurchased and retired 1,765,000 shares under the $300 million program at an aggregate cost of $113.2 million, and 1,260,587 shares under the anti-dilutive repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $79.6 million. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions is determined based on management’s evaluation of market conditions, share price and other factors. Towards the end of the third quarter of 2008, we paused purchases under both programs given market conditions. We will continue to monitor financial conditions and will resume repurchases when we believe it is prudent to do so.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income presents a measure of all changes in shareholders’ equity except for changes resulting from transactions with shareholders in their capacity as shareholders. Our total comprehensive income presently consists of net earnings, currency translation adjustments associated with foreign operations that use the local currency as their functional currency, adjustments for derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges and various pension and other postretirement benefits related items.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings as reported in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings to comprehensive income:

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we decided to discontinue operations in Brazil, Argentina and Chile and transition out of specific SCS customer contracts in Europe. These operations will be reported as part of continuing operations in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements until all operations cease. We expect to cease all our operations in South America by the end of the third quarter of 2009 and transition out of SCS European operations by the end of 2009. At June 30, 2009, we had $15.4 million of foreign currency translation losses in other accumulated comprehensive income related to our subsidiaries being exited. Accumulated foreign

currency translation gains (losses) are recognized within comprehensive income until, among other things, we substantially liquidate our investment in a foreign subsidiary, which may be subsequent to when they are reported as discontinued operations. Upon substantial liquidation of the investment in the subsidiary, accumulated foreign currency translation gains (losses) are recognized in net earnings.

Pension Contributions

We disclosed in our 2008 Annual Report that we estimated contributions of approximately $100 million to our pension plans during 2009 including voluntary U.S. contributions of approximately $73 million. At this time,

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(unaudited)

we now expect to contribute approximately $23 million to our pension plans during 2009. However, we may elect to make voluntary contributions to the plan as the year progresses. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, global contributions of $12 million had been made to our pension plans.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Asset and Liability

In July 2008, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to freeze the defined benefit portion of our Canadian retirement plan effective January 1, 2010 for current participants who do not meet certain grandfathering criteria. As a result, these employees will cease accruing further benefits under the defined benefit plan after January 1, 2010 and will begin receiving an enhanced benefit under the defined contribution portion of the plan. All retirement benefits earned as of January 1, 2010 will be fully preserved and will be paid in accordance with the plan and legal requirements. Employees hired after January 1, 2010 will not be eligible to participate in the Canadian defined benefit plan. The freeze of the Canadian defined benefit plan created a pre-tax curtailment gain of $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2008.

Enhanced 401(k) Plan

Employees who do not meet the grandfathering criteria for continued participation in U.S. pension plans are eligible to participate in an enhanced 401(k) Savings Plan (Enhanced 401(k) Savings Plan). The Enhanced 401(k) Savings Plan provides for (i) a company contribution even if employees do not make contributions, (ii) a company match of employee contributions of eligible pay, subject to IRS limits and (iii) a discretionary company match based on our performance. Our original 401(k) Savings Plan only provided for a discretionary Ryder match based on Ryder’s performance. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized total savings plan costs of $5.5 million and $11.6 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized total savings plan costs of $5.7 million and $15.7 million, respectively.

(R)

OTHER ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY

Our primary measure of segment performance excludes certain items we do not believe are representative of the ongoing operations of the segment. We believe that excluding these items from our segment measure of performance allows for better comparison of results.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, a customer in the SCS business segment in the U.K. declared bankruptcy and we determined the outstanding finance lease receivable was not recoverable. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $3.9 million to write-off this receivable. During the second quarter and first half of 2009, we recovered $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The pre-tax benefits were recorded within “Operating expense” in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we were notified that a significant customer in Singapore would not renew its contract, which was set to expire in 2009. The notification triggered an analysis under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” in order to assess the recoverability of the facility used in this customer’s operation. During the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the facility to its fair value. Conditions in the real estate market in Singapore continued to deteriorate during the first quarter of 2009. As a result, we recorded an additional pre-tax impairment charge of $3.9 million to write-down the facility to its current fair value during the first quarter of 2009. The charges were recorded within “Depreciation expense” in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

During the second quarter of 2008, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $6.5 million ($6.8 million after-tax) for prior years’adjustments associated with our Brazilian SCS operation. The charge was identified in the course of a detailed business and financial review in Brazil, which occurred following certain adverse tax and legal developments. We determined that accruals of $3.7 million, primarily for carrier transportation and loss contingencies related to tax and legal matters, were not established in the appropriate period; and deferrals of $3.1 million, primarily for indirect value-added taxes, were overstated. The charges related primarily to the period from 2004 to 2007. We recorded $4.9 million within “Operating expense,” $1.6 million within “Subcontracted transportation” and $0.3 million within “Provision for income taxes” in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. After considering the qualitative and quantitative effects of the charges, we determined the charges were not material to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in any individual prior period, and the cumulative amount was not material to 2008 results. Therefore, we recorded the adjustment for the cumulative amount in the second quarter of 2008.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. We operate in three reportable business segments: (1) FMS, which provides full service leasing, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and commercial rental of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers, principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) SCS, which provides comprehensive supply chain consulting including distribution and transportation services throughout North America and in South America, Europe and Asia; and (3) Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC), which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S.

Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as “Net Before Taxes” (NBT), includes an allocation of CSS and excludes restructuring and other charges (recoveries), net described in Note (F), “Restructuring and Other Charges (Recoveries),” and excludes the items discussed in Note (R), “Other Items Impacting Comparability.” CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services, public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal and corporate communications. The objective of the NBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment and each operating segment within each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included among the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation. CSS costs attributable to the business segments are predominantly allocated to FMS, SCS and DCC as follows:

	•		Finance, corporate services, and health and safety— allocated based upon estimated and planned resource utilization;

	•		Human resources— individual costs within this category are allocated in several ways, including allocation based on estimated utilization and number of personnel supported;

	•		Information technology— principally allocated based upon utilization-related metrics such as number of users or minutes of CPU time. Customer-related project costs and expenses are allocated to the business segment responsible for the project; and

	•		Other— represents legal and other centralized costs and expenses including certain share-based compensation costs. Expenses, where allocated, are based primarily on the number of personnel supported.

Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment and provides fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the SCS and DCC segments. Inter-segment revenue and NBT are accounted for at rates similar to those executed with third parties. NBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to customers (equipment contribution) are included in both FMS and the business segment which served the customer and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations”).

We have a diversified portfolio of customers across a full array of transportation and logistics solutions and across many industries. We believe this will help to mitigate the impact of adverse downturns in specific sectors of the economy. Our portfolio of full service lease and commercial rental customers is not concentrated in any one particular industry or geographic region. Our largest customer, General Motors Corporation, accounted for approximately 3% and 4% of consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is comprised of multiple contracts within our SCS business segment in various geographic regions. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, GM trade accounts receivable were $34.1 million or 7% and $42.1 million or 8%, respectively, of our total trade accounts receivable.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” SFAS No. 167 addresses the effects of eliminating the qualifying special-purpose entity concept from SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” and responds to concerns about the application of certain key provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46R. SFAS No. 167 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim periods within those years. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 167 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 132(R)-1, “Employer’s Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” This FSP requires enhanced disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan including information on investment policies and strategies, major categories of plan assets and fair value measurements. The disclosures required by this FSP are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted. We will include the enhanced disclosures required under this FSP beginning in our December 31, 2009 Form 10-K. The adoption of FSP No. 132(R)-1 will have no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The deterioration in global economic conditions in the past year has resulted in sharply lower earnings for the second quarter and first half of 2009. Earnings before income taxes and net earnings in the second quarter and first half of 2009 reflect significantly lower earnings in the FMS business segment. This was driven by decreased global results in commercial rental, used vehicle sales, and full service lease. In addition, higher pension expense contributed to lower consolidated results. To a lesser extent, earnings were adversely impacted by significantly lower global automotive industry volumes. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2008 included a $6.8 million charge in our SCS operations in Brazil to adjust accruals and tax deferrals related to prior years.

See “Operating Results by Business Segment” for a further discussion of operating results.

(1)		We use operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of our businesses and as a measure of sales activity. FMS fuel services revenue net of related intersegment billings, which is directly impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices, is excluded from the operating revenue computation as fuel is largely a pass-through to our customers for which we realize minimal changes in profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on market fuel costs. Subcontracted transportation is deducted from total revenue to arrive at operating revenue as subcontracted transportation is typically a pass-through to our customers. We realize minimal changes in profitability as a result of fluctuations in subcontracted transportation. Operating revenue is also a primary internal operating metric used to measure segment performance. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of total revenue to operating revenue.

Total revenue decreased 25% to $1.24 billion in the second quarter of 2009 and decreased 24% to $2.45 billion in the first half of 2009. The decline in total revenue was due to lower fuel services revenue and lower operating revenue. Fuel services revenue declined due to lower fuel costs and gallons sold. Operating revenue decreased 15% in the second quarter of 2009 and decreased 14% in the first half of 2009 primarily due to lower automotive production volumes, an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange, lower commercial rental revenue, and lower SCS and DCC fuel revenues. Operating revenue was also negatively impacted by lower miles driven by existing lease customers and an increase in customers downsizing their lease fleets. Total revenue and operating revenue in the second quarter of 2009 both included an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of 3% due primarily to the weakening of the Canadian dollar and the British pound. Total revenue and operating revenue in the first six months of 2009 included an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of 3% and 4%, respectively, due primarily to the weakening of the Canadian dollar and the British pound.

Percentage of revenue		45%		51%		45%		50%

Operating expense and operating expense as a percentage of revenue decreased in 2009 primarily as a result of lower fuel costs. The reduction in fuel costs over the prior year was driven by a decline in fuel prices as well as a lower number of gallons dispensed.

Percentage of operating revenue		30%		29%		31%		30%

Salaries and employee-related costs decreased $39.2 million and $87.3 million in the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively, because of lower headcount, foreign exchange rate changes and, to a lesser extent, lower incentive-based compensation, commissions and discretionary match into the 401(k) savings plan based on company performance. Lower headcount was driven by reduced volumes in our SCS and DCC business segments and workforce reductions made as part of the restructuring initiatives announced in the fourth quarter of 2008. The decrease in salaries and employee-related costs was partially offset by an increase in pension expense of $15.1 million and $29.8 million in the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively, caused by significant negative pension asset returns in 2008.

Subcontracted transportation expense represents freight management costs on logistics contracts for which we purchase transportation from third parties. Subcontracted transportation expense is directly impacted by whether we are acting as an agent or principal in our transportation management contracts. To the extent that we are acting as a principal, revenue is reported on a gross basis and carriage costs to third parties are recorded as subcontracted transportation expense. The impact to net earnings is the same whether we are acting as an agent or principal in the arrangement. Subcontracted transportation expense decreased $36.7 million and $59.4 million in the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively, as a result of decreased freight volumes in the current economic environment.

Depreciation expense relates primarily to FMS revenue earning equipment held for use and sale. Revenue earning equipment held for sale is recorded at the lower of fair value less cost to sell or net carrying value. Depreciation expense increased $15.3 million in the second quarter because of increased write-downs in the carrying value of vehicles held for sale of $7.2 million, accelerated depreciation of $2.3 million on certain classes of vehicles expected to be sold through 2010 and the impact of recent acquisitions and

higher vehicle investments partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates. Depreciation expense increased $31.9 million in the first half of 2009 because of increased write-downs in the carrying value of vehicles held for sale of $12.7 million, the impact of recent acquisitions, higher vehicle investments and an impairment charge of $3.9 million on a Singapore facility partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates.

Gains on vehicle sales, net decreased $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 because of lower average pricing on vehicles sold. Gains on vehicles sales, net decreased $15.5 million in the first half of 2009 because of lower average pricing on vehicles sold and, to a lesser extent, a decline in the number of vehicles sold.

Equipment rental consists primarily of rent expense for FMS revenue earning equipment under lease. Equipment rental decreased $3.4 million and $9.3 million in the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively, because of a reduction in the average number of vehicles leased from third parties.

We eliminated approximately 30 positions in 2009 as part of our continued cost containment initiatives. We expect to realize annual savings of approximately $5 million from the 2009 workforce reductions in addition to the annual savings of approximately $38 million from the 2008 actions.

As part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, we define the primary measurement of our segment financial performance as “Net Before Taxes” (NBT), which includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS), excludes restructuring and other charges, net, described in Note (F), “Restructuring and Other Charges (Recoveries),” and excludes the items discussed in Note (R), “Other Items Impacting Comparability” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services and public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal and corporate communications. The objective of the NBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment and each operating segment within each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included within the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation. See Note (S), “Segment Reporting,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a description of how the remainder of CSS costs are allocated to the business segments.

(1)		We use operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of our FMS business segment and as a measure of sales activity. Fuel services revenue, which is directly impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices, is excluded from our operating revenue computation as fuel is largely a pass-through to customers for which we realize minimal changes in profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on market fuel costs.

Total revenue decreased 26% during the second quarter of 2009 and decreased 24% during the first half of 2009 due primarily to lower fuel services revenue. Fuel services revenue decreased in 2009 due to lower fuel prices and, to a lesser extent, reduced fuel volumes. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel) decreased 8% in the second quarter and first half of 2009, as a decline in commercial rental revenue, unfavorable foreign exchange impact and lower lease miles more than offset the growth from acquisitions. Total revenue and operating revenue in the second quarter of 2009 included an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of 2% and 3%, respectively. Total revenue and operating revenue in the first half of 2009 included an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of 3% and 4%, respectively.

Full service lease revenue decreased 2% in the second quarter and first half of 2009. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, full service lease revenue grew 1% in both periods as revenue growth from acquisitions was partially offset by lower variable revenue from fewer miles driven by our customers with their fleets and an increase in customer fleet downsizing decisions. Contract maintenance revenue increased 1% in the second quarter of 2009 and first half of 2009 due to contract sales. We expect a modest decline in contractual revenue comparisons through at least the end of the year based on recent net sales activity and the continuing impact of the freight recession. Commercial rental revenue decreased 26% in both the second quarter and first half of 2009. Weak economic conditions drove a decrease in global commercial rental demand and, to a lesser extent, contributed to a reduction in fleet size and a more competitive pricing environment which led to a significant decline in revenue. In light of current economic conditions, we expect similar unfavorable commercial rental revenue comparisons through the remainder of the year.

FMS NBT decreased $74.0 million in the second quarter of 2009 and decreased $135.1 million in the first half of 2009 primarily driven by the current economic slowdown and freight recession. This decrease in NBT was related to a decline in global commercial rental, lower used vehicle sales results, lower full service lease performance and higher pension expense. These items were partially offset by cost reduction initiatives, including workforce reductions announced in the fourth quarter of 2008. Commercial rental results were impacted by weak global demand which drove lower utilization and, to a lesser extent, reduced pricing on a smaller fleet. Used vehicle sales results were impacted by weak demand which drove lower pricing as well as higher inventory levels. For the first six months of 2009, weak demand for used vehicles also drove lower sales volumes. Full service lease results were adversely impacted by the protracted length and increased severity of the current freight recession which has resulted in reduced customer demand for new leases and an increased number of customers downsizing their fleets. Customers are also driving significantly fewer miles with their existing fleets, which lowers our variable revenue and fuel gallons sold. Pension expense significantly increased in 2009 because of poor performance in the overall stock market in 2008.

Total		13,000		12,100		8,100		7	%		60	%

NYE units represent new vehicles on hand that are being prepared for deployment to a lease customer or into the rental fleet. Preparations include activities such as adding lift gates, paint, decals, cargo area and refrigeration equipment. For 2009, the number of NYE units decreased consistent with lower new and replacement lease activity. NLE units represent all vehicles held for sale and vehicles for which no revenue has been earned in the previous 30 days. For 2009, the number of NLE units increased because of higher used vehicle inventory levels, lower rental utilization and increased customer downsizings of their lease fleets. We expect high year over year NLE levels throughout the year.

(1)		We use operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of the SCS business segment and as a measure of sales activity. Subcontracted transportation is deducted from total revenue to arrive at operating revenue as subcontracted transportation is typically a pass-through to customers. We realize minimal changes in profitability as a result of fluctuations in subcontracted transportation. Operating revenue is also a primary internal operating metric and is used to measure segment performance.

(2)		Fuel costs are largely a pass-through to customers and therefore have a direct impact on revenue.

Total revenue decreased 30% and 29% in the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively. Total operating revenue decreased 28% in the second quarter and first half of 2009. These revenue declines resulted from weak economic conditions which impacted all industry groups, most notably automotive production and freight volumes. Revenue comparisons were also negatively impacted by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact, and lower fuel volumes. In the second quarter of 2009, SCS total revenue and operating revenue included an unfavorable foreign currency exchange impact of 5% and 4%, respectively. In the first half of 2009,

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (Continued)

SCS total revenue and operating revenue included an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of 6% and 5%, respectively. We expect unfavorable revenue comparisons to continue in the near term based on automotive production volumes as well as our previously announced plan to discontinue operations in South America and Europe.

SCS NBT decreased $4.0 million to $2.8 million in the second quarter and decreased $14.4 million to $0.7 million in the first half of 2009. The decrease was due to significantly reduced North American automotive volumes and plant closures which decreased NBT by $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $12.8 million in the first half of 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, we recognized $1.6 million of severance related to automotive plant closures in North America. In the second quarter of 2008, automotive results were negatively impacted by $3.1 million related to automotive strikes in North America. SCS NBT also included a loss of $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 and a loss of $7.2 million in the first half of 2009 related to operations in South America and Europe which will be discontinued. SCS NBT in the second quarter and first half of 2008 included a loss of $8.9 million and $9.0 million, respectively related primarily to higher transportation costs, customs and cross-border strikes and adverse developments in certain litigation related matters in Brazil.

Our largest customer, General Motors Corporation (GM), accounted for approximately 14% of both SCS total revenue and operating revenue, for the first half of 2009, and is comprised of multiple contracts in various geographic regions. For the first half of 2008, GM accounted for approximately 17% and 16% of SCS total revenue and operating revenue, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2009, several of our automotive customers filed for bankruptcy, including our largest customer, GM. We did not realize any losses on our pre-petition accounts receivables with any of these customers as we have collected a majority of the pre-petition accounts receivable and expect to collect the remaining receivables based on payment terms. In the U.S., we provide supply chain management and other transportation-related solutions supporting twelve GM plants and operations. According to GM’s announced reorganization plan, for the U.S. only, four of these operations are expected to be closed or idled during 2009. For the first half of 2009, revenue associated with the four Ryder-supported GM locations totaled approximately $8.4 million, representing 1% of SCS revenue, 10% of GM revenue, and was not significant as a percent of total revenue. We estimate closure costs of approximately $2.0 million to $3.5 million associated with GM’s announced reorganization plan of which $0.6 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2009. These costs represent primarily severance, asset impairments on vehicles and other items, and are expected to be incurred over the remainder of 2009. Approximately 200 vehicles are currently used to serve the impacted locations.

We expect similar revenue comparisons to continue in the near term due to continued lower customer volumes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (Continued)

DCC NBT decreased $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to the decline in revenue from lower volumes. DCC NBT decreased $2.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of the decline in revenue and was partially offset by better operating performance and lower overhead spending. The improvement in DCC NBT as a percent of operating revenue in 2009 reflects the impact of lower fuel costs pass-throughs.

The decline in total CSS costs in both the second quarter and first half of 2009 was primarily driven by lower spending across all functional areas as a result of cost reduction actions. The decline in total CSS costs for the first half of 2009 was also due to higher spending on information technology initiatives and public affairs in 2008. Unallocated CSS costs were flat in the second quarter of 2009. Unallocated CSS costs declined in the first six months of 2009 as a result of higher spending on public affairs in 2008, lower incentive-based compensation and lower losses on investment securities.

Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(15,780	)		(9,030	)

A detail of the individual items contributing to the cash flow changes is included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash provided by operating activities decreased to $492.4 million in the first half of 2009 compared with $522.5 million in 2008, due primarily to lower cash-based earnings, partially offset by reduced working capital needs. Cash used in financing activities in the first half of 2009 was $185.9 million compared to cash provided of $50.7 million in 2008 due to lower borrowing needs caused by a decrease in capital spending. Cash used in investing activities decreased to $323.9 million in the first half of 2009 compared to $586.0 million in 2008 primarily due to lower vehicle capital and acquisition spending in 2009.

We refer to the sum of operating cash flows, proceeds from the sales of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, collections on direct finance leases and other cash inflows as “total cash generated.” We refer to the net amount of cash generated from operating and investing activities (excluding changes in restricted cash and acquisitions) as “free cash flow.” Although total cash generated and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures, we consider them to be important measures of comparative operating performance. We also believe total cash generated to be an important measure of total cash inflows generated

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (Continued)

from our ongoing business activities. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and for shareholders after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. Our calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

The following table shows the sources of our free cash flow computation:

Purchases of property and revenue earning equipment		(391,287	)		(609,046	)

Free cash flow	$	241,267			88,603

Free cash flow increased to $241.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $88.6 million in 2008 because of lower net capital expenditures. We expect free cash flow comparisons to improve for the remainder of the year due primarily to lower vehicle spending partially offset by lower earnings, higher cash taxes, lower used vehicle sales and potential voluntary pension contributions.

The following table provides a summary of capital expenditures:


	Six months ended June 30,

Revenue earning equipment:⁽¹⁾
Full service lease	$	307,181		462,441

Changes in accounts payable related to purchases of revenue earning equipment		49,206		(29,975	)

Cash paid for purchases of property and revenue earning equipment	$	391,287		609,046


(1)		Capital expenditures exclude revenue earning equipment acquired under capital leases of $1.9 million and $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Capital expenditures (accrual basis) of $342.1 million were lower for the first half of 2009 principally as a result of reduced spending on full service lease for replacement and expansion of customer fleets and the substantial elimination of rental spending based on market demand. The decrease in capital expenditures related to operating property and equipment reflect our investments in information technology initiatives and real estate properties in the prior year. We now anticipate full-year 2009 accrual basis capital expenditures to be approximately $550 million, down from $1.27 billion in 2008. The current capital expenditures forecast represents a decrease of $390 million from our previous forecast of $940 million. The decline is due to lower expected new and replacement lease spending, as customers continue to downsize their fleets. Increased lease term extensions and redeployments of used equipment have also reduced the need for new vehicle purchases.

Financing and Other Funding Transactions

We utilize external capital primarily to support working capital needs and growth in our asset-based product lines. The variety of financing alternatives typically available to fund our capital needs include commercial paper, long-term and medium-term public and private debt, asset-backed securities, bank term loans, leasing arrangements and bank credit facilities. Our principal sources of financing are issuances of commercial paper and medium-term notes.

Our ability to access unsecured debt in the capital markets is linked to both our short-term and long-term debt ratings. These ratings are intended to provide guidance to investors in determining the credit risk associated with particular Ryder securities based on

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (Continued)

current information obtained by the rating agencies from us or from other sources. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs as well as reduced access to unsecured capital markets. A significant downgrade of our short-term debt ratings would impair our ability to issue commercial paper. As a result, we would have to rely on alternative funding sources. A significant downgrade would not affect our ability to borrow amounts under our revolving credit facility described below.

Our debt ratings at June 30, 2009 were as follows:

Global capital and credit markets, including the commercial paper markets, have been experiencing volatility and disruption. Despite this volatility and disruption, we have continued to have access to the commercial paper markets. There is no guarantee that such markets will continue to be available to us at terms commercially acceptable to us or at all. If we cease to have access to commercial paper and other sources of unsecured borrowings, we would meet our liquidity needs by drawing upon contractually committed lending agreements as described below and/or by seeking other funding sources. We believe that our operating cash flow, together with our revolving credit facility and other available debt financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs in the foreseeable future, although there can be no assurance that continued or increased volatility and disruption in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all.

In September 2008, we entered into a trade receivables purchase and sale program, pursuant to which we sell certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to Ryder Receivable Funding II, L.L.C., a bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiary of Ryder, that in turn may sell, on a revolving basis, an ownership interest in certain of these accounts receivable to a receivables conduit or committed purchasers. We use this program to provide additional liquidity to fund our operations, particularly when it is cost effective to do so. The costs under the program may vary based on changes in our unsecured debt ratings and changes in interest rates. The available proceeds that may be received under the program are limited to $250 million. If no event occurs which causes early termination, the 364-day program will expire on September 8, 2009. We are currently in the process of renewing the program through September 2010. The program contains provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations or the collectibility of the securitized receivables. At June 30, 2009, no amounts were outstanding under the program. At December 31, 2008, $190.0 million was outstanding under the program and was included within “Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt” on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Historically, we have established asset-backed securitization programs whereby we sell beneficial interests in certain long-term vehicle leases and related vehicle residuals to a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity that in turn transfers the beneficial interest to a special purpose securitization trust in exchange for cash. The securitization trust funds the cash requirement with the issuance of asset-backed securities, secured or otherwise collateralized by the beneficial interest in the long-term vehicle leases and the residual value of the vehicles. The securitization provides us with further liquidity and access to new capital markets based on market conditions. On June 18, 2008, Ryder Funding II LP, a special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary wholly-owned by Ryder, filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the registration of $600 million in asset-backed notes. The registration statement became effective on November 6, 2008 and remains effective until November 6, 2011.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (Continued)

At June 30, 2009, we had the following amounts available to fund operations under the aforementioned facilities:


	(In millions)
Global revolving credit facility	$	613
Trade receivables program		250

The following table shows the movements in our debt balance:


	Six months ended June 30,
	2009			2008
	(In thousands)

Debt balance at January 1	$	2,862,799			2,776,129


Cash-related changes in debt:
Net change in commercial paper borrowings		216,002			2,592
Proceeds from issuance of medium-term notes		—			250,000
Proceeds from issuance of other debt instruments		2,582			215,114
Retirement of medium-term notes and debentures		(173,000	)		(30,000	)
Other debt repaid, including capital lease obligations		(198,477	)		(220,509	)
Other		(10,504	)		(1,845	)

		(163,397	)		215,352
Non-cash changes in debt:
Fair market value adjustment on notes subject to hedging		(8,074	)		(5,337	)
Addition of capital lease obligations, including acquisitions		1,949			1,868
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other non-cash items		19,021			2,183

Total changes in debt		(150,501	)		214,066


Debt balance at June 30	$	2,712,298			2,990,195

In accordance with our funding philosophy, we attempt to match the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our debt with the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our assets. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to achieve this match and generally target a mix of 25% to 45% variable-rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. The variable-rate portion of our total obligations (including notional value of swap agreements) was 28% at June 30, 2009 and 26% at December 31, 2008.

Ryder’s leverage ratios and a reconciliation of on-balance sheet debt to total obligations were as follows:


	June 30,		% to			December 31,		% to
	2009		Equity			2008		Equity
	(Dollars in thousands)
On-balance sheet debt	$	2,712,298		191	%		2,862,799		213	%
Off-balance sheet debt—PV of minimum lease payments and guaranteed residual values under operating leases for vehicles⁽¹⁾		139,997					163,039

Total obligations	$	2,852,295		201	%		3,025,838		225	%


(1)		Present value (PV) does not reflect payments Ryder would be required to make if we terminated the related leases prior to the scheduled expiration dates.

On-balance sheet debt to equity consists of balance sheet debt divided by total equity. Total obligations to equity represents balance sheet debt plus the present value of minimum lease payments and guaranteed residual values under operating leases for vehicles, discounted based on our incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, all divided by total equity. Although total obligations is a non-GAAP financial measure, we believe that total obligations is useful as it provides a more complete analysis of our existing financial obligations and helps better assess our overall leverage position. The decrease in our leverage ratios in 2009 is driven by reduced funding needs as a result of lower capital spending requirement to support our contractual full service lease business.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (Continued)

Our long-term target percentage of total obligations to equity is 250% to 300% while maintaining investment grade rating. We believe this leverage range is appropriate for our business due to the liquidity of our vehicle portfolio and because of the substantial revenue component that is supported by long-term customer contracts related to those vehicles.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We periodically enter into sale-leaseback transactions in order to lower the total cost of funding our operations, to diversify our funding among different classes of investors and to diversify our funding among different types of funding instruments. These sale-leaseback transactions are often executed with third-party financial institutions that are not deemed to be variable interest entities (VIEs). In general, these sale-leaseback transactions result in a reduction in revenue earning equipment and debt on the balance sheet, as proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment are primarily used to repay debt. Accordingly, sale-leaseback transactions will result in reduced depreciation and interest expense and increased equipment rental expense. These leases contain limited guarantees by us of the residual values of the leased vehicles (residual value guarantees) that are conditioned upon disposal of the leased vehicles prior to the end of their lease term. The amount of future payments for residual value guarantees will depend on the market for used vehicles and the condition of the vehicles at time of disposal. See Note (N), “Guarantees,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information. We did not enter into any sale-leaseback transactions during the first six months of 2009.

Pension Information

The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of certain market interest rates. We review pension assumptions regularly and we may from time to time make voluntary contributions to our pension plans, which exceed the amounts required by statute. We disclosed in our 2008 Annual Report that we estimated contributions of approximately $100 million to our pension plans during 2009 including voluntary U.S. contributions of approximately $73 million. At this time, we now expect to contribute approximately $23 million to our pension plans during 2009. However, we may elect to make voluntary contributions to the plan as the year progresses. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, global contributions of $12 million had been made to our pension plans. Changes in interest rates and the market value of the securities held by the plans during 2009 could materially change, positively or negatively, the funded status of the plans and affect the level of pension expense and required contributions in 2010 and beyond. See Note (Q), “Employee Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

We participate in twelve multi-employer pension plans (MEP) that provide defined benefits to employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. At June 30, 2009, approximately 900 employees (approximately 4% of total employees) participated in these MEP plans. The annual net pension cost of the MEP plans is equal to the annual contribution determined in accordance with the provisions of negotiated labor contracts. Our current annualized MEP plan contributions total approximately $5 million. Pursuant to current pension laws, if any MEP plans fail to meet certain minimum funding thresholds, we could be required to make additional MEP plan contributions, until the respective labor agreement expires, of up to 10% of current contractual requirements. Several factors could cause MEP plans not to meet these minimum funding thresholds, including unfavorable investment performance, changes in participant demographics, and increased benefits to participants. The plan administrators and trustees of the MEP plans provide us with the annual funding notice required by law to be delivered. This notice sets forth the funded status of the plan as of the beginning of the prior year but does not provide any company-specific information.

Employers participating in multi-employer plans can elect to withdraw from the plans, contingent upon labor union consent, and subject to a withdrawal obligation based on, among other factors, the MEP plan’s unfunded vested benefits. In addition, under applicable laws, in very limited circumstances, the plan trustee can impose material withdrawal obligations on us. Pension regulations provide that an employer who voluntarily withdraws from the MEP can fund its withdrawal obligation in a lump sum or over a time period of up to 20 years based on previous contribution rates. Based on the most recently available plan information, generally as of January 2008, we estimate our pre-tax contingent MEP plan voluntary withdrawal obligation to be approximately $16 million. In light of the significant declines in financial markets since the beginning of 2008, we expect most MEP plans to have substantially higher unfunded vested benefits than there were as of January 2008, which could have a materially negative impact on the estimated withdrawal liability. We have no current intention of taking any action that would subject us to the payment of material withdrawal obligations.

Share Repurchases and Cash Dividends

See Note (O), “Share Repurchase Programs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of share repurchases.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – (Continued)

In May 2009, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share of common stock. In July 2009, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25. This dividend reflects a $0.02 increase from the $0.23 quarterly cash dividend we had been paying since March 2008.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note (T), “Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes information extracted from consolidated condensed financial information but not required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be presented in the financial statements. Certain of this information are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by SEC rules. Specifically, we refer to operating revenue, salaries and employee-related costs as a percentage of operating revenue, FMS operating revenue, FMS NBT as a % of operating revenue, SCS operating revenue, SCS NBT as a % of operating revenue, DCC operating revenue, DCC NBT as a % of operating revenue, total cash generated, free cash flow, total obligations and total obligations to equity. As required by SEC rules, we provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure and an explanation why management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following table provides a numerical reconciliation of total revenue to operating revenue which was not provided within the MD&A discussion:


	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008

	o		Changes in our customers’ operations, financial condition or business environment that may limit their need for, or ability to purchase, our services
	o		Changes in market conditions affecting the commercial rental market or the sale of used vehicles
	o		Less than anticipated growth rates in the markets in which we operate
	o		Changes in current financial, tax or regulatory requirements that could negatively impact the leasing market

•

Competition:

	o		Competition from other service providers, some of which have greater capital resources or lower capital costs
	o		Continued consolidation in the markets in which we operate which may create large competitors with greater financial resources
	o		Our inability to maintain current pricing levels due to economic conditions, demands for services, customer acceptance or competition

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the second quarter of 2009, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including Ryder’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Ryder’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the second quarter of 2009, Ryder’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, there were no changes in Ryder’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such internal control over financial reporting.

(1)		During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we purchased an aggregate of 3,290, shares of our common stock in employee-related transactions. Employee-related transactions may include: (i) shares of common stock delivered as payment for the exercise price of options exercised or to satisfy the option holders’ tax withholding liability associated with our share-based compensation programs and (ii) open-market purchases by the trustee of Ryder’s deferred compensation plans relating to investments by employees in our common stock, one of the investment options available under the plans.

(2)		In December 2007, our Board of Directors authorized a two-year anti-dilutive share repurchase program. Under the anti-dilutive program, management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the lesser of the number of shares issued to employees upon the exercise of stock options or through the employee stock purchase plan for the period beginning on September 1, 2007 to December 12, 2009, or 2 million shares. Share repurchases of common stock may be made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management may establish a prearranged written plan for the Company under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the anti-dilutive program, which allows for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, no repurchases were made under this program. Towards the end of the third quarter of 2008, we paused purchases under this program given market conditions. We will continue to monitor financial conditions and will resume repurchases when we believe it is prudent to do so.

(3)		In December 2007, our Board of Directors also authorized a $300 million discretionary share repurchase program over a period not to exceed two years. Share repurchases of common stock may be made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management may establish a prearranged written plan for the Company under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the $300 million discretionary program, which allows for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, no repurchases were made under this program. Towards the end of the third quarter of 2008, we paused purchases under this program given market conditions. We will continue to monitor financial conditions and will resume repurchases when we believe it is prudent to do so.
