Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. Reports First Quarter 2020 Revenue and Earnings |
Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KNX) ("Knight-Swift" or "the Company"), North America's largest truckload transportation company, today reported first quarter 2020 net income attributable to Knight-Swift of $65.4 million and Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift of $76.2 million. We reported GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.38 for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $0.51 for the first quarter of 2019. Our Adjusted EPS was $0.44 for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $0.55 for the first quarter of 2019.
Key Financial Highlights |
We continue to operate our business through the COVID-19 pandemic and have taken many additional precautions to ensure the safety of our employees, customers, vendors, and the communities in which we operate. Our diverse customer base has permitted us to balance our truckload capacity between customers with significant declines in volumes and those experiencing surges in demand for essential consumer products. We believe we are well-prepared for the sustainability of our business from a balance sheet perspective with a very conservative debt balance and a meaningful level of available liquidity, coupled with a conservative, cost-minded culture. We are fortunate that our multiple brands and diverse operating model have enabled us to rapidly adapt to the ever-changing economic environment. We believe we are well-positioned to navigate through these unprecedented times, while continuing to support our customers and ultimately the greater economy.
Despite declining rates over the past year amidst a challenging freight environment, which was further challenged by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, our Trucking segment showed resilience, generating an Adjusted Operating Ratio of 86.5% in the first quarter of 2020, which represents a 20 basis point improvement from the same quarter last year. Total miles per tractor increased by 0.2% in a volatile environment. Our Logistics segment produced an Adjusted Operating Ratio of 95.2% in the first quarter of 2020, primarily driven by a gross margin of 14.7% within our brokerage business. While rates and volumes across our reportable segments were pressured during the quarter, our focus on cost management contributed to operating efficiencies that helped mitigate some of the impacts from the uncertain economy, including a weaker used equipment market that negatively affected gain on sales of revenue equipment by $8.8 million (or $0.04 of earnings per diluted share, after taxes) on a year-over-year basis.

Income Taxes — The effective tax rate was 27.2% for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 24.0% for the first quarter of 2019. We expect the full-year 2020 effective tax rate to be in the range of 25.5% to 27.0% before discrete items.
Dividend — The Company previously announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share to stockholders of record on March 3, 2020, which was paid on March 27, 2020. This represents a $0.02 increase from the Company's historical quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share of common stock. We currently do not have plans to change the amount or frequency of the dividend.
Other Income, net — During the first quarter of 2020, we recognized a $6.5 million loss within "Other income, net" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. This was primarily driven by losses on certain investments and a $2.5 million unfavorable adjustment associated with foreign currency fluctuations within our Mexico operations.
COVID-19 —The COVID-19 pandemic, and efforts to contain it, has significantly affected the economy and the everyday lives of people around the world. Trucking has always been an essential service, which has become increasingly apparent, as we partner with our customers to deliver vital goods to consumers throughout North America during these trying times. As part of our efforts to safeguard our employees and promote business continuity, we have taken many additional precautions to enhance the sanitization process of our equipment and properties, increase the social distancing of our employees by working remotely where possible, and provide our driving associates with essential provisions and enhanced bonus opportunities while they are over the road delivering freight for our customers. During the first quarter of 2020, we invested approximately $2.3 million (or $0.01 of Adjusted EPS) of incremental expenses associated with our drivers and terminal employees to ensure safety and that communities received essential products. We expect to incur costs of a similar nature in the second quarter of 2020.

Our Trucking segment includes our irregular route, dedicated, refrigerated, expedited, flatbed, and cross-border operations across our brands. We improved the Adjusted Operating Ratio within this segment to 86.5% in the first quarter of 2020 from 86.7% in the first quarter of 2019, despite the $8.8 million reduction in gain on sales of revenue equipment, noted above. Our cost control efforts contributed to a 3.2% decrease in operating expenses per total miles driven. Average revenue per tractor decreased by 2.7%, primarily as a result of a 3.1% decrease in revenue per loaded mile, excluding fuel surcharge and intersegment transactions. In the first quarter of 2020, Knight's trucking operating segment and Swift's truckload operating segment generated Adjusted Operating Ratios of 83.5% and 87.6%, respectively. Over the trailing twelve-month period, the two operating segments continued to approach parity, with Knight trucking producing an 84.3% Adjusted Operating Ratio and Swift truckload operating within approximately 140 basis points of Knight at an 85.7% Adjusted Operating Ratio.

Continued market pressures, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, contributed to an 18.2% decrease in revenue, excluding intersegment transactions, as load counts decreased 13.2% and revenue per load decreased 5.8%.

The non-reportable segments include support services provided to our customers and independent contractors (including repair and maintenance shop services, equipment leasing, warranty services, and insurance), trailer parts manufacturing, certain warehousing activities, as well as certain corporate expenses (such as legal settlements and accruals and $10.3 million in quarterly amortization of intangibles related to the 2017 Merger). The decrease in operating loss within the non-reportable segments was driven by additional operating income earned from warehousing activities in the first quarter of 2020, which was partially offset by losses from less revenue generated from support services provided to our independent contractors.

Liquidity and Capitalization — As of March 31, 2020, we had a balance of $621.7 million of unrestricted cash and available liquidity and $5.7 billion of stockholders' equity. The face value of our debt, net of unrestricted cash ("Net Debt") was $787.9 million as of March 31, 2020, which is a $28.4 million increase from December 31, 2019. Our cash provided by operating activities and our change in our Net Debt balance was negatively affected by a $93.4 million cash settlement paid during the first quarter of 2020, associated with pre-2017 Merger legal matters that were previously accrued and disclosed by Swift. Free cash flow for the quarter, including the $93.4 million payment, was $79.7 million (computed as net cash provided by operating activities, less net capital expenditures). During the quarter, we generated $155.3 million in operating cash flows, reduced our operating lease liabilities by $11.4 million, repurchased $34.6 million worth of our common stock, and returned $14.0 million to our stockholders in the form of quarterly dividends. We continue to maintain our leverage ratio within our targeted range and remain committed to a strong capital structure, which we believe will position us for long-term success and enable us to pursue further opportunities for organic growth, growth through acquisitions, and other capital allocation opportunities. We do not foresee material liquidity constraints or any issues with our ongoing ability to meet our debt covenants.
Equipment and Capital Expenditures — Gain on sale of revenue equipment decreased to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $11.8 million in the same quarter of 2019. Capital expenditures, net of disposal proceeds, were $75.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. The average age of our tractor fleet decreased to 2.0 years in the first quarter of 2020 from 2.1 years in the first quarter of 2019. We reduced our full-year 2020 net capital expenditures range to $515.0 – $540.0 million from the previously-disclosed range of $550.0 – $575.0 million. Expected 2020 capital expenditures primarily include replacements of existing tractors and trailers, as well as investment in our terminal network and driver amenities.
Guidance — Due to uncertainties regarding the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Knight-Swift is suspending its previously announced annual guidance for 2020. We would expect to reintroduce guidance once we feel we have more visibility into, and better predictability surrounding, the timing and extent of normal economic activities resuming within the truckload freight market.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations |
The terms "Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift," "Adjusted Operating Income," "Adjusted EPS," "Adjusted Operating Ratio," and "Free Cash Flow," as we define them, are not presented in accordance with GAAP. 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 Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Operating Ratio as key measures of our performance, all of which are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures and further discussed below. Management and the board of directors use Free Cash Flow as a key measure of our liquidity, which is defined under "Liquidity and Capitalization" above. Free Cash Flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We believe our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance.
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Ratio, and Free Cash Flow are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures, such as net income, cash flows from operating activities, operating margin, 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.

Exhibit 99.2 KNX 1Q20 Earnings Presentation
Disclosure This presentation, including documents incorporated herein by reference, will contain forward- looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Please review our disclosures in filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP Financial Data This presentation includes the use of adjusted operating income, operating ratio, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted pre-tax income, return on net tangible assets, adjusted leverage ratio, available liquidity, and free cash flow, which are financial measures that are not in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Each such measure is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors and lenders. While management believes such measures are useful for investors, they should not be used as a replacement for financial measures that are in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our use of these non-GAAP measures should not be interpreted as indicating that these or similar items could not occur in future periods. In addition, adjusted operating ratio excludes trucking segment fuel surcharges from revenue and nets these surcharges against fuel expense. 2
Disclosure On September 8, 2017, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 9, 2017, by Swift Transportation Company (“Swift”), Bishop Merger Sub, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Swift, (“Merger Sub”), and Knight Transportation, Inc. (“Knight”), Merger Sub merged with and into Knight, with Knight surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Swift (the “2017 Merger”). Knight was the accounting acquirer and Swift was the legal acquirer in the 2017 Merger. In accordance with the accounting treatment applicable to the 2017 Merger, throughout this presentation, the reported results do not include the results of operations of Swift and its subsidiaries on and prior to the 2017 Merger date of September 8, 2017 (the “2017 Merger Date”). However, where indicated, certain historical information of Swift and its subsidiaries on and prior to the 2017 Merger Date, including their results of operations and certain operational statistics (collectively, the “Swift Historical Information”), has been provided. Management believes that presentation of the Swift Historical Information will be useful to investors. The Swift Historical Information has not been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Article 11 of Regulation S-X, and it therefore does not reflect any of the pro forma adjustments that would be required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The Swift Historical Information does not purport to indicate the results that would have been obtained had the Swift and Knight businesses been operated together during the periods presented, or which may be realized in the future. 3

This number is used by management for analysis purposes only and does not purport to be calculated in the same manner or intended for the same purpose as the right-of-use asset and liability calculations prescribed under US GAAP. 4 Leverage Ratio is calculated in accordance with the provisions of Swift's senior credit facility for all periods prior to the 2017 Merger and Knight-Swift's senior credit facility for all periods subsequent to the 2017 Merger. 5 Adjusted Leverage Ratio represents the Leverage Ratio adjusted to include the Lease Adjustment in Net Leverage while also adding back the corresponding rent expense into Adjusted EBITDA in order to calculate the adjusted leverage ratio. (Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA less certain adjustments pursuant to the credit facilities.) 11
