Subcontracted transportation revenue is excluded from the operating revenue computation as it is largely a pass through to customers and the Company realizes minimal changes in profitability as a result of fluctuations in subcontracted transportation. ($ Millions, Except Per Share Amounts) |

Cash Flow Reconciliation (1) The Company uses total cash generated, a non-GAAP financial measure, because management considers it to be an important measure of comparative operating performance. Management believes total cash generated provides investors with an important measure of total cash inflows generated from our on-going business activities which include sales of revenue earning equipment, sales of operating property and equipment, sale and leaseback of revenue earning equipment, collections on direct finance leases and other cash inflows. (2) Capital expenditures presented net of changes in accounts payable related to purchases of revenue earning equipment. (3) The Company uses free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, because management considers it to be an important measure of comparative operating performance. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and shareholders after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. The calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. (4) Amounts have not been recasted to give effect for the impact of foreign exchange movements on cash for which the impact is not expected to be significant. ($ Millions) |
