NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring and certain nonrecurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month
period ended March 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1995. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Heartland Express, Inc. and Subsidiaries' ("Heartland" or the "Company")
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Note 2. Heartland/Munson Merger
Effective March 21, 1994, Heartland consummated a merger with Munson
Transportation, Inc. and two affiliated companies (collectively, "Munson").
Former Munson stockholders received approximately 4% of the Company's
outstanding stock in the transaction, which was a merger accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Merger consummation and integration costs of $3.5 million
associated with the merger of Munson and the cost of closing duplicate
facilities were incurred in 1994. These nonrecurring expenses consisted
primarily of changes in reserve estimates for liability and workers'
compensation claims, conforming accounting policies, accounting and legal
expenses, severance pay, and writing down the value of the Monmouth, Illinois
terminal. During the first quarter of 1994, $1.9 million of this nonrecurring
charge was recorded and accordingly, increased the net loss for the quarter by
approximately $1.3 million ($0.11 per share).
The Company continued Munson's separate operations throughout much of 1994, and
in December relocated all administrative and operational functions to
Heartland's headquarters. The Company retained Munson's Monmouth, Illinois
maintenance and repair facility until April, 1995 when it was then relocated to
Heartland's headquarters.
-6-
Under the accounting rules applicable to transactions qualifying as a pooling of
interest, the Company restated prior years' financial statements as if Heartland
and Munson had been operated on a combined basis for all periods presented.
Therefore, all financial information concerning the Company presented in this
report reflects the combined operations of both companies.
Note 3: Income Taxes
Income taxes for the interim period ended March 31, 1995 are based on the
Company's estimated effective tax rates. The rate for the quarters ended March
31, 1995 and 1994 was 37% and 57%, respectively. The first quarter, 1994
effective tax rate was impacted by Munson's losses incurred prior to the merger
on March 21, 1994 which cannot be deducted and certain merger related expenses,
primarily professional fees which are not deductible.
The Company recorded a $2.9 million one-time charge during the first quarter of
1994 to recognize a deferred income tax obligation representing temporary
differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and
tax purposes. The Company was required to record the charge following the
merger of Munson, which had previously been a "S" corporation, and as such had
not recorded such obligations.
The pro forma income tax expense presented for the first quarter of 1994
reflects the estimated amount of income tax expense that would have been
recorded if the combined company was a "C" corporation for the entire period.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
The following is a discussion of the results of operations of the first quarter
of 1995 compared with the first quarter of 1994 and the changes in financial
condition through the first quarter of 1995.
Results of Operations:
Operating revenue decreased 22.5% to $47.6 million in the first quarter of 1995
from $61.4 million in the first quarter of 1994. This decrease is attributable
to the Company's decision to eliminate unprofitable temperature-controlled,
flatbed, and brokerage operations. The Company also discontinued selective
traffic lanes that did not meet the Company's operating strategy. The operating
ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue) for the first
quarter of 1995 was 85.2% compared with 93.6% for the first quarter of 1994.
Net income for the first quarter of 1995 was $4.6 million compared with a net
loss of $1.7 million for the first quarter of 1994. The first quarter of 1994
was adversely effected by nonrecurring charges resulting from the merger with
Munson Transportation.
Salaries, wages, and benefits decreased to 24.7% of revenue in the first quarter
of 1995 from 25.7% in the first quarter of 1994. This decrease was attributable
to (i) a substantial reduction in the number of non-driver personnel due to the
consolidation of facilities, (ii) a reduction in the miles driven by company
drivers, and (iii) a 47.2% reduction in health and workers' compensation claims
due to fewer and less severe claims. The decrease in total company driver
payroll was partially offset by an August 1994 increase in the rate per mile
paid to company drivers.
Rent and purchased transportation increased to 28.5% of revenue in the first
quarter of 1995 from 24.0% in the first quarter of 1994. This increase is a
result of corresponding increase in the percentage of miles being driven by
independent contractors. The Company also increased the base mileage rate being
paid to independent contractors in January, 1995.
Operations and maintenance expenses decreased to 12.3% of revenues in the first
quarter of 1995 from 18.5% reported in the first quarter of 1994. This
reduction is the result of lower repair and maintenance costs and better fuel
efficiency attributable to the replacement of older model revenue equipment with
new tractors and trailers. These expenses are also impacted by the increased
reliance on independent contractors, who pay their own maintenance, repair and
fuel costs.
Other operating expenses decreased to 2.1% of revenue in the first quarter of
1995 from 3.5% in the first quarter of 1994. This
-8-
decrease was primarily a result of eliminating service to customers requiring
pallets and the consolidation of facilities.
Nonrecurring merger and consummation costs of $1.9 million accounted for 3.2% of
revenue in the first quarter of 1994. See Note 1 of the Notes to Financial
Statements for the discussion of this one-time charge.
Interest expense decreased to .1% of revenue in the first quarter of 1995 from
2.1% of revenue in the first quarter of 1994, as a result of the reduction of
debt and capital lease obligations. The Company's long-term debt was $1.0
million at March 31, 1995, compared with $51.4 million at March 31, 1994.
The Company's effective tax rate was 37.0% in the first quarter of 1995,
compared with 57.1% in the first quarter of 1994. See Note 3 of Notes to
Financial Statements for the discussion of the 1994 effective rate and the $2.9
million one-time deferred tax charge recorded in the first quarter of 1994.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash flows provided by operations was $10.7 million in the first quarter of
1995 and $9.7 million for the first quarter of 1994. Working capital at March
31, 1995 was $13.7 million compared with $2.9 million at December 31, 1994.
Since the March 21, 1994 merger with Munson Transportation, the Company has
improved its financial position by reducing long-term debt to $1.0 million at
March 31, 1995 from $56.9 million at December 31, 1993.
The Company expects to finance future growth in its company-owned fleet
primarily through cash flow operations.
