MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OPERATING RESULTS
Operating revenues for the first quarter of 1996 were $70.5 million, compared
to $73.1 million for the first quarter of 1995.
The Company had a net loss of $328,000 for the first quarter of 1996, as
compared to a net loss of $5.9 million for the first quarter of 1995
(including the cumulative effect of the accounting change resulting from the
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of" as of January 1, 1995).
The operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenues)
was 94.9% during the first quarter of 1996 as compared to 92.1% in the first
quarter of 1995. Operating income for the first quarter of 1996 was $3.6
million, compared to $5.8 million for the first quarter of 1995. Operating
expenses as a percentage of revenues, were generally higher in 1996 as compared
to 1995 primarily as a result of very severe winter weather throughout the
Company's operating area in January and February. Fuel prices increased
significantly during the first quarter of 1996. This caused operations and
maintenance expense to be higher than it otherwise would have been and offset
the operating and maintenance costs reductions realized as a result of a lower
average age of equipment in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same
period last year. The Company increased its use of owner-operators to 193
contractors, on average, during the first quarter of 1996, compared to an
average of 164 owner-operators during the corresponding period in 1995. This
resulted in an increase in the Company's rents and purchased transportation
expenses during the first quarter of 1996, as compared to the first quarter of
1995. The Company's gains on asset disposals increased to $839,000 in the
first quarter of 1996, compared to a gain of $141,000 in 1995. The Company
realized the higher gain on disposal primarily as a result of selling older
trailers in 1996 with very low net book values.
Weather-related disruptions hampered operations and resulted in lower overall
revenues during the quarter. During periods when the Company's operations
were not impacted by weather, freight volumes actually exceeded the relatively
strong 1995 revenue levels. Several new accounts were added during the
quarter, which have helped offset the impact on the Company of over-capacity
in the truckload market. Recently, freight demand has improved in all three
of the Company's divisions. If the freight market continues to rebound, the
Company's operations should continue to improve.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The current ratio was 1.01 at March 31, 1996, compared to .84 at December 31,
1995. Prepaid expenses increased by approximately 6% since December 31, 1995,
primarily due to the normal annual prepayment of licenses and taxes.
Accounts Receivable increased by 27%, as compared to December 31, 1995,
due to seasonal increases in volume and an increase in other receivables.
Cash used by operations was $2.8 million in the first quarter of 1996. Cash
provided by operations was $7.6 million in the first quarter of 1995. Lower
operating income and increased accounts receivable caused operating cash flows
-6-
to decline sharply in 1996 as compared to 1995. Management expects that cash
generated from operations will increase as the Company collects its receivables
and continues to improve its operating profitability. The Company's cash flow
and cash requirements tend to fluctuate during the year. Generally more cash
is required during the first part of the year, primarily to fund the Company's
annual prepayments of operating taxes and licenses and less profitable
operations. Cash flow from operations generally increases consistently
beginning in the second quarter through year end. The Company uses its
revolving credit facility to smooth cyclical cash flows associated with its
operations.
The Company has adopted a very conservative capital expenditure budget for
1996, due to the fact that the Company is nearing completion of its program to
reduce the average age of its fleet. Thus far in 1996, the Company has
replaced 500 older 48-foot van trailers with new 53-foot trailers. As a
result of acquiring this new equipment, our van division's trailer pool has
been converted to almost entirely 53-foot trailers.
The Company expects to replace some flatbed trailers during the second quarter
of 1996.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of factors
such as: uncertainties relative to economic conditions; industry factors
including, among others, competition, rate pressure, driver availability and
fuel prices; and, the Company's ability to sell its services profitably,
successfully increase market share in its core businesses and effectively
manage expense growth relative to revenue growth in anticipation of continued
pressure on gross margins. The Company's operating results could be adversely
affected should the Company be unable to anticipate customer demand accurately
or to effectively manage the impact on the Company of changes in the trucking,
transportation and logistics industries.
Because of the foregoing factors, as well as other factors affecting the
Company's operating results, past financial performances should not be
considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors
should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future
periods.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND TRENDS. During the second half of 1995, the Company
experienced weakened freight demand and is uncertain as to how long this
situation may continue through future periods. It appears that some of the
Company's competitors have over-expanded their fleets and are discounting
their rates in order to maintain the volume needed to support their excess
equipment capacity. To the extent, if any, that the weaker freight level and
equipment over-capacity situation continues, its impact on the Company's
results of operations would be negative. In response to the weakened freight
levels, the Company reduced non-driver payroll by approximately 5% in mid-1995,
adopted a very conservative future capital expenditure budget, increased
marketing efforts, and is considering other actions. Except for the impact of
severe weather, the Company's volume in early 1996 has improved, primarily as a
result of our more aggressive marketing program. While the Company is more
optimistic about future business levels, it cannot predict whether this
positive trend will continue.
-7-
Fuel prices were sharply higher during the first quarter of 1996. Among other
actions, the Company has passed some of the additional costs along to its
customers by collecting fuel surcharges. The Company cannot predict when fuel
prices will return to more normal levels or how much of the additional costs
will be offset by surcharges.
