Long-Term Debt Reduced by Nearly $100 Million

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yellow Corporation (NASDAQ: YELL) reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

Fourth quarter operating revenue was $1.200 billion and operating income was $40.3 million, which included a $28.2 million net gain on property disposals. In comparison, operating revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $1.309 billion and operating income was $55.8 million.

Net loss for fourth quarter 2022 was $15.5 million, or $0.30 per share. This compares to a net loss of $44.7 million, or $0.88 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021, which included a $54.9 million or $1.08 per share non-cash, non-operating settlement loss resulting from a Partial Pension Annuitization of the Company’s qualified non-union pension plans. Excluding the impact of the Partial Pension Annuitization, fourth quarter 2021 net income was $10.2 million, or $0.20 per share.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company generated Adjusted EBITDA of $54.6 million in fourth quarter 2022 compared to $115.5 million in the prior-year comparable quarter (as detailed in the reconciliation below).

Operating revenue for full year 2022 was $5.245 billion and operating income was $197.8 million, which included a $38.0 million net gain on property disposals. This compares to full year 2021 operating revenue of $5.122 billion and operating income of $103.6 million.

Full year net income for 2022 was $21.8 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to a net loss in 2021 of $109.1 million, or $2.15 per share. Excluding the impact of the Partial Pension Annuitization, full year 2021 net loss was $54.2 million, or $1.07 per share.

Full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA was $343.1 million compared to $306.0 million in 2021 (as detailed in the reconciliation below).

“In the fourth quarter, demand for LTL capacity decreased compared to the tight environment a year ago contributing to the decline in tonnage per workday,” said Darren Hawkins, chief executive officer. “The manufacturing sector’s strength began to waver, similar to the retail sector earlier in the year, pointing to a loss of economic momentum. In response, during the quarter we adjusted our workforce to align with the muted volume and we continued to closely manage the use of purchased transportation and other expenditures. Despite the near-term headwinds, the yield environment remains stable. We have stayed consistent with our strategy of improving the yield on the freight moving through Yellow’s network and for full year 2022, we reported the best operating income and operating ratio in 16 years.   

“Phase one of our network optimization that was successfully implemented in the western United States in September is operating as a super-regional carrier. For phase two we are working through a similar planning process as we did with phase one to ensure we have the best execution strategy for our customers, employees and shareholders. Phase two consists of legacy YRC Freight, Holland and New Penn terminals in the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast. Between these two phases approximately 90% of our network will be operating as a super-regional carrier. We expect to integrate the remaining 10% of the network in the central United States after we implement phase two. The network optimization is expected to improve asset utilization, enhance network efficiencies, lead to cost savings and create capacity without the need to add terminals.

“As we optimize the network, we plan to sell approximately 17 excess terminals that have overlapping service territories. We do not plan to sacrifice geographical service coverage or expect this to unfavorably impact customer service. In the fourth quarter we sold one of the excess terminals for approximately $31 million and the net proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the term loan. In early January, we also paid the outstanding $66 million balance of the CDA notes in compliance with the terms of the agreement. Reducing our outstanding debt by nearly $100 million is another important step on the path to refinancing and strengthening our capital structure,” concluded Hawkins.

Operational and Financial Update

• The operating ratio for fourth quarter 2022 was 96.6 compared to 95.7 in fourth quarter 2021.
  
  
• Including fuel surcharge, fourth quarter 2022 LTL revenue per hundredweight increased 21.1% and LTL revenue per shipment increased 17.8% compared to the same period in 2021. Excluding fuel surcharge, fourth quarter LTL revenue per hundredweight increased 12.4% and LTL revenue per shipment increased 9.3%.
  
  
• Fourth quarter 2022 LTL tonnage per workday decreased 25.1% when compared to fourth quarter 2021.
  
  
• During the fourth quarter 2021, the Company’s qualified non-union pension plans entered into a contract for a group annuity to transfer obligation to pay the remaining retirement benefits of approximately 3,700 plan participants to an insurance company (the “Partial Pension Annuitization”). The transfer included approximately $250 million in both plan obligations and plan assets. As a result of the Partial Pension Annuitization, the Company recorded a non-cash, non-operating settlement loss of $54.9 million, or $1.08 per share, reflecting the accelerated recognition of unamortized losses in these plans from the obligation that was settled.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that reflects the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that reflects EBITDA, and further adjusts for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals, restructuring charges, transaction costs related to issuances of debt, non-recurring consulting fees, non-cash impairment charges and the gains or losses from permitted dispositions, discontinued operations, and certain non-cash expenses, charges and losses (provided that if any of such non-cash expenses, charges or losses represents an accrual or reserve for potential cash items in any future period, the cash payment in respect thereof in such future period will be subtracted from Adjusted EBITDA in such future period to the extent paid). Adjusted EBITDA as used herein is defined as Consolidated EBITDA in our UST Credit Agreements and Term Loan Agreement (collectively, the “TL Agreements”). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects the company’s core operating performance. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with financial covenants in our TL Agreements and to determine certain incentive compensation. We believe our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users as these measures represent key supplemental information our management uses to compare and evaluate our core underlying business results, particularly in light of our leverage position and the capital-intensive nature of our business. Further, EBITDA is a measure that is commonly used by other companies in our industry and provides a comparison for investors to evaluate the performance of the companies in the industry. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA helps investors to understand how the company is tracking against our financial covenants in our TL Agreements.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have the following limitations:

• EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or fund principal payments on our outstanding debt;
  
  
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or fund principal payments on our outstanding debt, letter of credit expenses, restructuring charges, transaction costs related to debt, non-cash charges, charges or losses (subject to the conditions above), or nonrecurring consulting fees, among other items;
  
  
• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
  
  
• Equity-based compensation is an element of our long-term incentive compensation program for certain employees, although Adjusted EBITDA excludes employee equity-based compensation expense when presenting our ongoing operating performance for a particular period; and
  
  
• Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
  

Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using our non-GAAP measures as secondary measures. The company has provided reconciliations of its non-GAAP measures to GAAP net income (loss) within the supplemental financial information in this release.

	(a) Managed Accessibility represents the maximum amount we would access on the ABL Facility and is adjusted for eligible receivables plus eligible borrowing base cash measured for the applicable period. If eligible receivables fall below the threshold management uses to measure availability, which is 10% of the borrowing line, the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility permits adjustments from the eligible borrowing base cash to restricted cash prior to the compliance measurement date, which is 15 days from the period close.

	(a) Non-cash reserve changes reflect the net charges for union and nonunion vacation, with such adjustments to be reduced by cash charges in a future period when paid.
	(b) Pursuant to the TL Agreements, Adjusted EBITDA limits certain adjustments in aggregate to 10% of the trailing-twelve-month ("TTM") Adjusted EBITDA, prior to the inclusion of amounts subject to the 10% threshold, for each period ending. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, integration costs, severance, and non-recurring charges. The limitation calculation is updated quarterly based on TTM Adjusted EBITDA, and any necessary adjustment resulting from this limitation, if applicable, will be presented here. The sum of the quarters may not necessarily equal TTM Adjusted EBITDA due to the expiration of adjustments from prior periods.
