Van Buren, AR – May 7, 2020 – USA Truck Inc. (NASDAQ: USAK), a leading capacity solutions provider, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, consolidated operating revenue was $126.8 million compared to $134.0 million for the prior-year period. Base revenue, which excludes fuel surcharge revenue, was $112.6 million compared to $118.5 million for the 2019 period. The Company reported a net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted share for the first quarter 2020 and adjusted net loss(a) of $2.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share and adjusted net income(a) of $2.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share for the same quarter in 2019. The Company’s first quarter 2020 consolidated operating ratio was 101.8%, compared to 97.1% in the comparable 2019 quarter.
President and CEO James Reed commented, “During the first quarter, many of our operational initiatives took hold as loaded miles per available truck increased, empty miles decreased, and unseated truck count metrics improved. We also made significant progress in our move to regionalization as we fully staffed our teams in the operating regions. USAT Logistics accelerated volume throughout and particularly late in the quarter which we expect will have meaningful flow-through in future periods. And while the impact of our operational improvements was muted by a tough pricing environment early on and then complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic later in the quarter, our team rose to the challenge posed by the pandemic as we delivered high quality service through each stage of the crisis. Moving forward, we will continue our focus on protecting the health and safety of our associates and customers alike, while improving the operating metrics we control. We believe we are well positioned for the future with a dense basket of essential customers and freight that should sustain us through a variety of potential business cycles.”
Trucking: For the first quarter of 2020, Trucking operating revenue (before intersegment eliminations) decreased $0.9 million, or 1.0%, to $94.0 million, compared to the first quarter of 2019. Trucking operating loss of $1.7 million for the 2020 period, reflected an operating ratio of 101.8%, compared to operating income of $1.6 million and an operating ratio of 98.3% for the first quarter of 2019. This represents a decrease of $3.3 million year over year in operating income and a 350 basis point decline in operating ratio. Trucking adjusted operating loss(a) was $1.3 million for the 2020 period, reflecting an adjusted operating ratio(a) of 101.5%, compared to adjusted operating income(a) of $2.3 million and an adjusted operating ratio(a) of 97.2% for the comparable 2019 period. This represents a decrease of $3.5 million year over year in adjusted operating income(a) and a 430 basis point decline in adjusted operating ratio(a).
Trucking operations delivered the following results during the first quarter:
| · | | Base revenue per available tractor per week decreased $152 per week, or 4.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2019, and increased $60 per week or 1.9% sequentially, primarily due to an increase in loaded miles per available tractor per week offset by a decrease in base revenue per loaded mile. |
| · | | Base revenue per loaded mile decreased $0.159, or 7.1% year over year and $0.061, or 2.8%, sequentially. This change was the result of freight volume secured in the spot market, which negatively impacted base revenue per mile. |
| · | | Loaded miles per available tractor per week increased 42 miles, or 2.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2019, and by 72 miles per tractor, or 4.9% sequentially. |
| · | | Deadhead percentage for first quarter 2020 improved 20 basis points year over year and 100 basis points sequentially. |
| · | | The average seated tractor count for the first quarter of 2020 was 1,871, which represented an increase of 5.9% over the first quarter 2019 average of 1,767, and a 3.1% increase over the sequential average of 1,815. Average unseated tractor percentage for first quarter 2020 was 5.2%, improved from 7.8% for the first quarter of 2019 and from 6.9% sequentially. |
USAT Logistics: Operating revenue (before intersegment eliminations) was $35.8 million for the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of $5.6 million, or 13.6% year over year. Both operating loss and adjusted operating loss(a) were $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2020, reflecting an operating ratio of 101.7% and an adjusted operating ratio of 101.9%, compared to operating income and adjusted operating income(a) of $2.3 million and an operating ratio of 94.4% and an adjusted operating ratio(a) of 93.9% for the comparable 2019 period. This change represented a decrease of $2.9 million year over year in operating income and adjusted operating income(a) and a degradation of 730 basis points in operating ratio and 800 basis points in adjusted operating ratio(a) compared to the first quarter of 2019.
USAT Logistics operations delivered the following results during the first quarter:
| · | | Gross margin dollars decreased 48.4%, or $3.7 million year over year, to $4.0 million for the first quarter 2020, and increased 3.0%, or $0.1 million, sequentially. |
| · | | Gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2020 decreased 740 basis points to 11.1% when compared to 18.5% in the first quarter of 2019 and 40 basis points sequentially from 11.5%. |

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2020, total debt and lease liabilities was $196.3 million, total debt and lease liabilities, net of cash (“Net Debt”)(a), was $196.2 million and total stockholders’ equity was $76.1 million. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAR(a) for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2020 was 4.2x. The Company had approximately $37.9 million available to borrow under its Credit Facility as of March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2020, the $37.9 million available to borrow under the Company’s Credit Facility was below the 20% threshold of the lenders’ total commitments. Effective April 20, 2020, the Company reduced the Credit Facility from $225.0 million to $170.0 million, bringing the Company’s excess availability above the 20% threshold by lowering the threshold to $34.0 million. This change also lowers the fees on our Credit Facility by approximately $0.1 million annually.

(a) About Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to our GAAP results, this press release also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by the SEC. The terms “Base Revenue”, “Net Debt”, “EBITDAR”, “Adjusted EBITDAR”, “Adjusted operating ratio”, “Adjusted operating income (loss)”, “Adjusted net income (loss)”, and “Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share”, as we define them, are not presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Company defines Base Revenue as operating revenue less fuel surcharge revenue and intercompany eliminations. The Company defines Net Debt as total debt, including insurance premium financing and lease liabilities, net of cash. The Company defines EBITDAR as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, provision for income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and equipment rent. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAR as EBITDAR plus non-cash equity compensation, severance costs included in salaries, wages and employee benefits, and impairment of assets held for sale. Adjusted operating ratio is calculated as operating expenses excluding severance costs included in salaries, wages and employee benefits and amortization of acquisition related intangibles, net of fuel surcharge revenue, as a percentage of operating revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue. Adjusted operating income (loss) is calculated by deducting operating expenses excluding severance costs included in salaries, wages and employee benefits and amortization of acquisition related intangibles, net of fuel surcharge revenue, from operating revenue, net of fuel surcharge
revenue. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding severance costs included in salaries, wages and employee benefits and amortization of acquisition related intangibles plus or minus the income tax effect of such adjustments using a statutory tax rate. Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share is defined as Adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the period. The per-share impact of each item is determined by dividing it by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. These financial measures supplement our GAAP results in evaluating certain aspects of our business. We believe that using these measures improves comparability in analyzing our performance because they remove the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Management and the board of directors focus on Base Revenue, Net Debt, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted operating ratio, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share as key measures of our performance and liquidity, all of which are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures and further discussed below. We believe our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors and other users because it provides them the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance.
Base Revenue, Net Debt, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted operating ratio, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures, such as total debt, net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, operating ratio, diluted earnings (loss) per share, or other measures prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. Although we believe that they improve comparability in analyzing our period to period performance, they could limit comparability to other companies in our industry if those companies define these measures differently. Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered measures of income generated by our business or discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis.
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G and Regulation S-K, we have provided reconciliations of Base Revenue, Net Debt, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted operating ratio, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss), and Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share to the most comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release.
