Our truckload net revenues increased 7.8 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. Our total truckload volumes increased approximately three percent in the first quarter of 2016. North American truckload volumes increased approximately four percent in the first quarter of 2016. Our truckload net revenue margin increased in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015, due primarily to lower transportation costs, excluding fuel. Additionally, the lower cost of fuel contributed to an increase in truckload net revenue margin. In North America, excluding the estimated impacts of the change in fuel, our average truckload rate per mile charged to our customers decreased approximately five percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. In North America, our truckload transportation costs decreased approximately seven percent, excluding the estimated impacts of the change in fuel. These decreases were largely the result of available capacity in the market and a change in the mix of our business.

Our less-than-truckload (“LTL”) net revenues increased 6.9 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. LTL volumes increased approximately 10 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. Net revenue margin increased in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015.

Our intermodal net revenues decreased 11.9 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, intermodal opportunities were negatively impacted by the lower cost truck market.

Our ocean transportation net revenues increased 16.9 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. The increase in net revenues was primarily due to increased net revenue margin and higher volumes.

Our air transportation net revenues decreased 10.8 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower prices, partially offset by margin expansion and volume increases.

Our customs net revenues increased 4.5 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. The increase was due to an increase in transaction volumes.

Our other logistics services revenues, which includes managed services, warehousing, and small parcel, increased 21.4 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015 primarily from volume growth in managed services.

Sourcing net revenues decreased 2.3 percent in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in product costs caused by adverse weather effects, partially offset by an increase in case volumes.

For the first quarter, operating expenses increased 6.2 percent to $364.4 million in 2016 from $343.2 million in 2015. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 64.7 percent in the first quarter of 2016 from 65.4 percent in the first quarter of 2015.

For the first quarter, personnel expenses increased 8.8 percent to $277.5 million in 2016 from $255.1 million in 2015. For the first quarter, our average headcount grew 5.5 percent compared to the first quarter of 2015. Additionally, we recognized additional payroll tax expense in the first quarter of 2016 related to the delivery of previously vested restricted equity awards.

For the first quarter, other selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased 1.3 percent to $86.9 million in 2016 from $88.0 million in 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts, partially offset by an increase in travel expenses.
