DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Roadway Express, Inc. and subsidiaries (also referred to as "Roadway Express," "the Company," "we" or "our"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Roadway LLC, which is wholly owned by Yellow Roadway Corporation ("Yellow Roadway"), is a leading transportation services provider that offers a full range of regional, national and international services for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through decentralized management and customer facing organizations. Roadway Express owns 100 percent of Reimer Express Lines Ltd. located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. Roadway Express has no reportable operating segments as management evaluates operating performance and allocates resources based on Roadway Express consolidated results. On December 11, 2003, Yellow Corporation completed the acquisition of Roadway Corporation. The combined company was renamed Yellow Roadway Corporation ("Yellow Roadway"). Roadway Corporation was merged with and into Roadway LLC, a newly formed limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Yellow Roadway. Consideration for the acquisition included $494 million in cash and 18.0 million shares of Yellow Roadway common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $1.1 billion. Roadway LLC principal segments include Roadway Express and Roadway Next Day Corporation. 2. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Roadway Express and its wholly owned subsidiaries. We have prepared the consolidated financial statements, without audit by independent public accountants, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In management's opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included herein have been made. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 99.4 to the Yellow Roadway Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Prior to the acquisition of Roadway Corporation by Yellow Corporation on December 11, 2003, Roadway Corporation and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Roadway Express, operated on thirteen four-week accounting periods with twelve weeks in each of the first three quarters and sixteen weeks in the fourth quarter. As part of the acquisition, Roadway Express adopted a calendar-quarter reporting basis as well as the significant accounting policies of Yellow Roadway Corporation. In addition, we utilized independent third party appraisers to revalue significant assets and liabilities to fair market value, therefore these financial statements are not comparable to prior periods. For accounting policies related to the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and for the Statements of Consolidated Operations and Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the related notes to financial statements, please refer to the Yellow Roadway Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. For accounting policies related to the Statements of Consolidated Operations and Cash Flows for the twelve weeks ended March 29, 2003 and related notes to financial statements, please refer to the Roadway Express financial statements and related notes at December 11, 2003, filed as Exhibit 99.3 to the Yellow Roadway Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. 3. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses acquired. The following table shows the amount of goodwill and changes therein: 5 Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments/ (in thousands) December 31, 2003 Reclasses March 31, 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Goodwill $ 474,513 $ 3,458 $ 477,971 ------------------------------------------------------------------- As the acquisition of Roadway Corporation by Yellow Corporation occurred in December 2003, the allocation of the purchase price included in the December 31, 2003 and the March 31, 2004 Consolidated Balance Sheets was preliminary and subject to refinement. Although we do not expect any subsequent changes to have a material impact on our results of operations or amounts allocated to goodwill, such changes could result in material adjustments to the preliminary purchase allocation. The most significant pending items include the following: finalization of independent asset valuation for our tangible and intangible assets including associated remaining lives; completion of all direct costs associated with the acquisition; updating our personnel information used to calculate the pension benefit obligation; determination of the fair value of tax-related contingencies; calculation of an estimate for certain contractual obligations; and certain other refinements. As of March 31, 2004 refinements to the purchase price allocation have not been significant. We expect substantially all of the above refinements will be completed by the end of second quarter 2004. The components of amortizable intangible assets are as follows: March 31, 2004 December 31, 2003 Weighted ------------------------ ------------------------- Average Gross Gross Life Carrying Accumulated Carrying Accumulated (in thousands) (years) Amount Amortization Amount Amortization -------- ------------------------ -------------------------- Customer related 19 $ 48,900 $ 758 $ 48,900 $ 164 Technology based 3 15,000 1,410 15,000 256 ------------------------ -------------------------- Intangible assets $ 63,900 $ 2,168 $ 63,900 $ 420 ======================== ========================== Total marketing related intangible assets with indefinite lives were $307.4 million at March 31, 2004 and $307.6 million at December 31, 2003. These intangible assets are not subject to amortization. The change between periods related to foreign currency translation adjustments. 4. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS COMPONENTS OF NET PERIODIC PENSION COST In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits ("SFAS 132R"). SFAS 132R requires the disclosure of the components of the net periodic pension cost recognized during interim periods. The following table sets forth the components of our net periodic pension cost and other postretirement costs for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and twelve weeks ended March 29, 2003: Pension Costs Other Postretirement Costs ------------------------ -------------------------- March 31, | March 29, March 31, | March 29, (in thousands) 2004 | 2003 2004 | 2003 --------- | --------- --------- | --------- | | Service cost $ 5,401 | $ 4,693 $ 471 | $ 466 Interest cost 7,331 | 6,257 783 | 788 Expected return on plan assets (6,195) | (5,059) - | - Amortization of net transition obligation - | (330) - | - Amortization of prior service cost - | 1,298 - | (445) Amortization of net loss 16 | 32 - | 134 --------- | --------- --------- | --------- Net periodic pension cost $ 6,553 | $ 6,891 $ 1,254 | $ 943 ========= ========= ========= ========= 6 EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS In our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, we disclosed that we expect to contribute approximately $20 million to our pension plans in 2004, and this expectation has not changed. As of March 31, 2004, we have not made any contributions to the plans. 5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Our comprehensive income for the periods presented includes net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and twelve weeks ended March 29, 2003 follows: March 31, | March 29, (in thousands) 2004 | 2003 --------- | --------- | Net income $ 2,617 | $ 10,275 Changes in foreign currency translation adjustments 241 | 2,764 --------- | --------- Comprehensive income $ 2,858 | $ 13,039 ========= ========= 6. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION During the three months ended March 31, 2004, Roadway Express paid $1.2 million in cash for taxes and $67 thousand for interest. 7. RENTAL EXPENSES Roadway Express incurs rental expenses under noncancelable lease agreements for certain buildings and operating equipment. Rental expense is charged to "operating expenses and supplies" on the Statements of Consolidated Operations. The following table represents the actual rental expense, as reflected in operating income, incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and twelve weeks ended March 29, 2003: March 31, | March 29, (in thousands) 2004 | 2003 --------- | --------- | Rental expense $ 13,108 | $ 12,972 8. MULTI-EMPLOYER PENSION PLANS Roadway Express contributes to multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements (approximately 75 percent of total employees). The largest of these plans, the Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan (the "Central States Plan") provides retirement benefits to approximately 54 percent of our total employees. The amounts of these contributions are determined by contract and established in the agreements. The health and welfare plans provide health care and disability benefits to active employees and retirees. The pension plans provide defined benefits to retired participants. We recognize as net pension cost the required contribution for the period and recognize as a liability any contributions due and unpaid. Under current legislation regarding multi-employer pension plans, a termination, withdrawal or partial withdrawal from any multi-employer plan in an under-funded status would render us liable for a proportionate share of such multi-employer plans' unfunded vested liabilities. This potential unfunded pension liability also applies to our unionized competitors who contribute to multi-employer plans. Based on the limited information available from plan administrators, which we cannot independently validate, we believe that our portion of the contingent liability in the case of a full withdrawal or termination would be material to our financial position and results of operations. Roadway Express has no current intention of taking any action that would subject us to obligations under the legislation. 7 Roadway Express has collective bargaining agreements with its unions that stipulate the amount of contributions it must make to union-sponsored, multi-employer pension plans. The Internal Revenue Code and related regulations establish minimum funding requirements for these plans. If any of these plans, including (without limitation) the Central States Plan, fail to meet these requirements and the trustees of these plans are unable to obtain waivers of the requirements from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or reduce pension benefits to a level where the requirements are met, the IRS could impose an excise tax on all employers participating in these plans and require contributions in excess of our contractually agreed upon rates to correct the funding deficiency. If an excise tax were imposed on the participating employers and additional contributions required, it could have a material adverse impact on the financial results of Roadway Express. 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On December 10, 2003, Roadway Express executed a $500 million ten-year Promissory Note to Roadway Corporation (subsequently renamed Roadway LLC), accruing interest at the rate of 8.25 percent. Interest is due and payable quarterly, and the principal is due at maturity. All amounts were outstanding at March 31, 2004 and at December 31, 2003. 8
