Strong Results Include a 93.0% Operating Ratio and Earnings Per Share of $1.17

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yellow Corporation (NASDAQ: YELL) reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. Operating revenue was $1.424 billion and operating income was $99.2 million, which included a $3.2 million net gain on property disposals. In comparison, operating revenue in the second quarter of 2021 was $1.313 billion and operating income was $27.0 million.

Net income for second quarter 2022 was $60.0 million, or $1.17 per share, compared to net loss of $9.4 million, or $0.18 per share, in the second quarter of 2021.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company generated Adjusted EBITDA of $145.9 million in second quarter 2022, a $63.0 million increase compared to $82.9 million in the prior year comparable quarter (as detailed in the reconciliation below). The last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA as of June 30, 2022, was $406.7 million compared to $216.0 million as of June 30, 2021 (as detailed in the reconciliation below).

“Strong yield and efforts to manage the use of purchased transportation helped Yellow achieve its highest quarterly operating income in 15 years,” said Darren Hawkins, chief executive officer. “Elevated demand for LTL capacity continued during the quarter which drove the favorable pricing environment. On the cost side, purchased transportation expense was down to 14.5% of revenue in the second quarter compared to 16% a year ago.

“We remain focused on integrating the four operating company networks into a single LTL network with national coverage, servicing regional and long-haul lanes. We expect to execute the integration of phase one in the western U.S. this summer with the transformation of the entire network to be completed around the end of the year. When this transformation is completed, our customers will benefit by interacting with North America’s second largest super-regional LTL network for both regional and long-haul shipments. We expect the network transformation to also lead to improved asset utilization, enhanced network efficiencies, cost savings and create capacity without the need to add new terminals.

“Primarily due to limited tractor and trailer production capacity at the original equipment manufacturers, we are lowering our capital expenditures guidance. For 2022, we expect our total investments in capital expenditures to be in the range of $250 million to $300 million compared to the previous range of $325 million to $400 million,” concluded Hawkins.

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.

The sum of the quarters may not necessarily equal TTM Adjusted EBITDA due to the expiration of adjustments from prior periods.
