RYDER REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2005 RESULTS
-First Quarter Net Earnings of $41.5 Million, Up 18% on 9% Revenue Increase-
- -Full Year EPS Forecast Raised to $3.30 to $3.40-
MIAMI, April 28, 2005– Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE:R), a global leader in transportation and supply chain management solutions, today reported net earnings of $41.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, up 18% compared with $35.0 million in the same period of 2004. Earnings per diluted share (EPS) were $0.64 for the first quarter of 2005, up 21% compared with $0.53 in the year-earlier period. Improved performance was driven primarily by continuing leverage from revenue growth and improved vehicle sales in the Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2005 was $1.3 billion, up 9% from $1.2 billion in the comparable period last year. The revenue increase for the quarter was led primarily by the FMS business segment reflecting higher fuel revenue due to higher fuel prices, the impact of acquisitions, continued growth in the rental product line and favorable foreign exchange rates. Commercial rental revenue for the quarter increased 12% compared with the year-earlier period. Revenue in the Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business segment in the first quarter of 2005 increased by 8% compared with the year-earlier period. The SCS revenue increase was driven by new and expanded business in all U.S. industry groups, favorable exchange rates and pricing increases associated with higher fuel costs.
EPS for the first quarter of 2005 included a one-time recovery of $0.02 associated with the reimbursement of project costs incurred in prior years. Net earnings in the year-earlier period included a $0.01 credit from the gain on sale of a portion of the Company’s headquarters complex.
“We exceeded our first quarter forecast by delivering 18% higher earnings on a 9% revenue increase and a 4% operating revenue increase,” said Ryder Chairman, President and
1
Chief Executive Officer Greg Swienton. “This demonstrates solid progress in our commitment to grow operating revenue in all business segments. We remain focused on improving our cost of delivering products and competing for profitable business to further leverage our operating model.”
First Quarter Business Segment Operating Results
Ryder’s primary measurement of business segment financial performance, Net Before Tax (NBT), allocates Central Support Services to each business segment.
Fleet Management Solutions
Ryder’s Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment combines several capabilities into a comprehensive package that provides one-stop outsourcing of the acquisition, maintenance, management and disposal of vehicles. Ryder’s commercial rental service offers customers a method to expand their fleets in order to address specific or short-term capacity needs.
In the FMS business segment, revenue in the first quarter of 2005 was $924.6 million, up 10% compared with $841.5 million in the year-earlier period. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel) in the first quarter of 2005 was $693.4 million, up 5% compared with $663.1 million in the year-earlier period. Fuel revenue for the first quarter of 2005 increased 30% compared with the same period in 2004 due primarily to higher fuel pricing as a result of market cost increases. Revenue comparisons also benefited from acquisitions and favorable foreign currency exchange rates.
Full service lease revenue for the first quarter of 2005 was 3% higher than the same period last year due primarily to the impact of the acquisition completed on March 1, 2004. Ryder’s first quarter 2005 commercial rental revenue grew 12% from the year-earlier period, reflecting increased activity levels and higher pricing. Contract-related maintenance revenue, which generally represents ancillary services supporting core product lines, increased 10% in the first quarter of 2005 compared with the same period last year due primarily to the implementation of initiatives aimed at growing these types of services.
The FMS business segment’s NBT increased to $70.9 million in the first quarter of 2005, up 28% compared with $55.4 million in the same period of 2004. This improvement was related primarily to higher vehicle sales gains resulting from stronger volume and pricing, improved
2
commercial rental results, and lease growth from acquisitions. First quarter 2005 NBT benefited from the one-time reimbursement of approximately $2 million in costs related to a project in prior years. Business segment NBT as a percentage of operating revenue was 10.2% in the first quarter of 2005, up 180 basis points compared with 8.4% in the same quarter a year ago.
Supply Chain Solutions
Ryder’s Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business segment enables customers to improve shareholder value and their customers’ satisfaction by enhancing supply chain performance and reducing costs. The solutions involve management of the logistics pipeline as a synchronized, integrated process – from raw material supply to finished goods distribution. By improving business processes and employing new technologies, the flow of goods and cash is made faster and consumes less capital.
In the SCS business segment, first quarter 2005 revenue totaled $346.8 million, up 8% from $321.1 million in the comparable period in 2004. Revenue increased because of new and expanded business in all U.S. industry groups, favorable exchange rates and pricing increases associated with higher fuel costs. First quarter 2005 operating revenue (revenue excluding freight under management) was $237.4 million, up 3% compared with $231.4 million in the comparable period a year ago.
The SCS business segment’s NBT was $6.5 million in the first quarter 2005, down 10% from $7.2 million in the same quarter of 2004. Business segment earnings benefited from new and expanded business in all U.S. industry groups, but were more than offset by lower margins from certain automotive accounts including the impact of plant shutdowns and launch costs associated with new business. First quarter 2005 NBT for the entire business segment as a percentage of operating revenue was 2.7%, compared with 3.1% in the same quarter of 2004.
Dedicated Contract Carriage
Ryder’s Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) business segment provides customers with vehicles, drivers, management and administrative support, with the assets committed to a specific customer for a contractual term. DCC supports customers with both basic and sophisticated logistics and transportation needs including routing and scheduling, specialized driver services, and logistical engineering support.
3
In the DCC business segment, first quarter 2005 revenue totaled $128.0 million, up 1% compared with $126.4 million in the first quarter of 2004. Operating revenue (revenue excluding freight under management) in the first quarter of 2005 was flat at $124.8 million, compared with $125.0 million in the year-earlier period. Reported revenue includes pricing increases associated with higher fuel costs, which more than offset the non-renewal of certain customer contracts.
The DCC business segment’s NBT in the first quarter of 2005 was $5.9 million, down 13% compared with $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2004. Business segment NBT was impacted by investments made to expand the Company’s logistics engineering capabilities and the non-renewal of certain customer contracts. Business segment NBT as a percentage of operating revenue was 4.7% in the first quarter of 2005, compared with 5.4% in the year-earlier period.
Corporate Financial Information
Central Support Services
Central Support Services (CSS) are overhead costs incurred to support all business segments and product lines. Substantially all CSS costs are allocated to the various business segments.
In the first quarter of 2005, CSS costs were $50.9 million, compared with $48.3 million in the year-earlier period. The first quarter 2005 increase was due to technology initiatives and costs related to the relocation to the Company’s smaller headquarters building.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures were $506 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared with $272 million in the same period of 2004. Net capital expenditures were $427 million for the first quarter of 2005, up from $207 million in the year-earlier period. The increase in capital expenditures reflects the timing of the delivery of new rental vehicle orders in 2005, which occurred earlier than in the previous year, as well as increased lease vehicle spending for replacement and expansion of customer fleets.
4
Leverage and Free Cash Flow
Balance sheet debt as of March 31, 2005 increased by $382 million compared with year-end 2004, primarily due to the funding requirements associated with higher capital spending and income tax payments, which included a $176 million payment related to the previously disclosed resolution of the 1998 to 2000 federal tax audit. The leverage ratio for balance sheet debt as of March 31, 2005 was 142%, compared with 118% at year-end 2004. Total obligations to equity as of March 31, 2005 were 152%, up from 129% at year-end 2004. Free cash flow in the first quarter of 2005 was negative $383 million compared with negative $3 million for the year-earlier period.
Commenting on the Company’s corporate financial performance, Ryder Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Tracy Leinbach stated, “We have established a solid financial position to build on for the future. Our substantial leasing business is capable of supporting higher levels of leverage and we have ample capacity for future growth in all business segments. The recent upgrade of Ryder’s credit rating is another reflection of the continuing confidence in our financial strength.”
Outlook
Commenting on Ryder’s outlook, Mr. Swienton said, “We have a Company-wide focus on retention, sales and growth to increase revenue and profitability. Our better than expected first quarter gives our team positive momentum for delivering profitable revenue growth in all business segments in 2005.”
He continued,“We are increasing our full-year 2005 forecast by $0.10 to a range of $3.30 to $3.40 per share. We are forecasting second quarter EPS to be in the range of $0.83 to $0.86.” Last year, in the second quarter, the Company earned $0.76 per share, excluding a $0.21 gain from the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters facility.
