7 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Net revenue for the third quarter 2000 was $122,385,000, an increase of 12.8% from $108,527,000 for the third quarter 1999. This growth in revenue for the third quarter was consistent with the Company's objective to increase revenue 10% to 15% for the year and was primarily a result of three major factors: 1) the Company's consistent focus on increasing market share in its existing areas of operation; 2) improvements in products and pricing; and 3) the impact of a fuel surcharge. The Company's strategy to improve market share and freight density within existing lanes of service is designed to produce revenue growth objectives with minimal capital investment and improved asset utilization. In early 2000, the Company expanded its service products to provide full-state coverage to 21 states east of the Mississippi. Only one new service center, Charleston, West Virginia, was opened in order to provide this additional service enhancement. In addition to this expansion, the Company opened a new service center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on November 1, 2000. While the Company serves the six surrounding states, this opening will improve regional and inter-regional service capabilities and expands the Company's physical presence into its 35th state of operations. On September 1, 2000, the Company implemented a general increase on its public tariffs, which comprise approximately 50% of its net revenue. Pricing on the remaining revenue base is generally renegotiated as those private contracts expire. The Company has ongoing processes to identify marginal or unprofitable business through its freight costing systems and works with its customers to improve those rates that cannot be rationalized. The Company has also experienced growth in its new guaranteed and expedited service product, Speed Service, which it initiated at the beginning of 2000. Speed Service is anticipated to grow significantly as more customers demand service sensitive and customized delivery services. In response to the rising costs of petroleum products, particularly diesel fuel, the Company implemented a fuel surcharge on its tariffs in August 1999. Generally, this surcharge is designed to offset the cost of fuel above a base price and increases as fuel increases over the base. The fuel surcharge accounted for approximately 3.6% of net revenue for the third quarter 2000 while accounting for approximately .4% of revenue for the third quarter 1999. For the quarter, less-than-truckload ("LTL") shipments increased 4.1% over the prior year comparable quarter and LTL revenue per LTL shipment increased 7.0% to $136.61 from $127.67 for the third quarter 1999. The increase in revenue per shipment was a result of an 8.6% increase in LTL revenue per LTL hundredweight to $12.83 from $11.81 and a 1.5% decrease in LTL weight per shipment to 1,065 lbs. from 1,081 lbs. In addition, the Company's average length of haul increased 3.4% to 873 miles from 844 miles, which generally increases both LTL revenue per hundredweight and LTL revenue per shipment. The operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of revenue) increased to 93.3% in the third quarter of 2000 from 92.8% in the third quarter 1999. This increase in the Company's operating costs reflects the impact of increased purchased transportation expenses to 4.1% of revenue from 3.4% for the prior-year quarter. Cartage expense, or outsourced pickup and delivery services, increased to 1.9% of revenue from 1.3% as a result of two factors. First, the implementation of full-state coverage in 21 states requires the Company to service certain remote locations that occasionally can be serviced more cost effectively by agent partners who have more operating density in those areas. As market share builds, Company personnel and equipment will replace these expenditures. Second, growth in certain markets has exceeded the Company's operating capacity and outsourcing of pickup and delivery services are used to ensure service standards are maintained during the peak shipping periods common to the third quarter of each year. The Company is addressing these situations by either constructing new facilities or leasing larger facilities to accommodate this growth. For 2000, the Company has budgeted approximately $27,000,000 to be used to construct or expand service center facilities. The Company's strategy to grow existing markets has resulted in improvements in asset utilization, which were reflected in decreases in certain fixed costs as a percent of revenue when compared to the prior-year quarter. Building and office equipment rents decreased to 1.4% from 1.7%, operating taxes and 8 licenses decreased to 3.8% from 4.1% and depreciation and amortization decreased to 5.7% of revenue from 5.8% Net interest expense remained constant at 1.0% for both comparable periods. While outstanding debt increased $23,269,000 from the end of the third quarter 1999, a significant portion of the resulting increased interest costs in the third quarter 2000 were capitalized as those borrowings funded construction projects to expand the capacity of service center facilities. Net income for the third quarter 2000 was $4,293,000, a 3.9% increase from $4,219,000 for the prior-year period. The effective tax rate was 39.0% and 38.0% for the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000, Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, was $355,328,000, an increase of 13.1%, compared to $314,068,000 for the same period of 1999. LTL tonnage increased 4.6% due to a 6.2% increase in LTL shipments, which was partially offset by a 1.4% decrease in LTL weight per shipment. These increases in revenue and tonnage have been consistent with the Company's growth strategy to increase market share in its existing geographic area of operations and service center network. This growth strategy was complemented in 2000 with the implementation of full-state coverage in 21 states east of the Mississippi River. In addition, the Company added its new guaranteed and customized service product, Speed Service, in early 2000, which is expected to grow significantly as customers discover additional value in the time definite and customized service capabilities the Company offers. Average revenue per LTL shipment for the first nine months of 2000 increased 7.1% to $134.85 from $125.96 for the comparable period of 1999. This increase was due to a 8.6% increase in LTL revenue per hundredweight to $12.70 from $11.69 and a 1.4% decrease in LTL weight per shipment. The increase in LTL revenue per shipment includes the impact of a fuel surcharge, which was implemented to offset the high cost of fuel. For the first nine months of 2000, the Company's average price for a gallon of diesel fuel increased approximately 68% over the average price paid in the first nine months of 1999. In addition, the Company also incurred direct increases in other petroleum-related products such as gasoline, oil, propane and lubricants. Indirectly, the rising cost of fuel increased prices of other products and services that the Company uses in its normal course of business. The fuel surcharge accounted for approximately 3.1% of revenue for the first half of 2000, while accounting for approximately .1% for the comparable period of 1999. The operating ratio for the first nine months of 2000 was 93.9% compared with 93.3% for the first nine months of 1999. The increase in operating costs were primarily the result of the increased use of outside purchased transportation during the period and severe winter weather that hampered operating efficiencies and productivity in the first quarter 2000. The increase in purchased transportation was a result an increase in cartage expense, which is the outsourcing of pickup and delivery services. Cartage expense through the third quarter of 2000 increased to 1.9% of revenue from 1.2% for the prior-year period and occurred primarily due to two factors. First, the Company's implementation of full-state coverage for 21 states in early 2000 required the Company to serve certain remote locations where it was initially more economical to use outside pickup and delivery services through partner agents. As the Company builds these markets, the use of these agents will diminish and be replaced by Company labor and equipment. Second, rapid growth in certain markets has exceeded capacity and the Company has used cartage agents to supplement its operations until larger service center facilities could be constructed or leased. The 2000 capital budget includes approximately $27,000,000 for the purchase or expansion of service center facilities to improve the Company's operating infrastructure, service products and operating efficiencies. To some extent, the use of outside agents caused Company salary, wages and benefits to decrease to 59.3% of revenue from 60.7%. By concentrating growth in existing markets, the Company was successful in improving its utilization of facilities and equipment. Depreciation and amortization decreased to 5.6% of revenue from 6.0%, 9 building and office equipment rents decreased to 1.5% from 1.8%, and operating taxes and licenses decreased to 4.0% from 4.2%. Net interest expense was .9% of revenue for the first nine months of 2000 compared to 1.0% for the comparable period of 1999. This slight decrease was primarily due to the capitalization of $663,000 in interest costs relating to construction projects in the first nine months of 2000. Net income was $11,196,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of 2.2%, compared to $10,952,000 for the same nine-month period the previous year. The effective tax rate was 39.0% and 38.0% for the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Continued investment in property and equipment has resulted from expansion in the size and number of service center facilities, the planned tractor and trailer replacement cycle and revenue growth. In order to support these requirements, the Company has incurred net capital expenditures of $51,423,000 for the first nine months of 2000. Cash flows generated internally funded 60.7% of these capital expenditures through the third quarter, the remainder of which was funded with additional borrowings. At September 30, 2000, long-term debt including current maturities increased to $85,187,000 from $64,870,000 at December 31, 1999. The Company estimates net capital expenditures to be approximately $64,000,000 to $68,000,000 for the year ending December 31, 2000. Of that, approximately $27,000,000 is allocated for purchases of real estate, $29,000,000 is allocated for purchases of revenue equipment, $6,000,000 is allocated for enhancements to information systems and the remaining balance is allocated for purchases of other assets. The Company plans to fund these expenditures through cash flows from operations supplemented by additional borrowings. During 1999 and early 2000, the Company maintained a $32,500,000 uncollateralized credit facility that consisted of a $17,500,000 line of credit commitment and a $15,000,000 standby letter of credit commitment. Interest on the line of credit was charged at rates that varied based upon a certain financial performance ratio and the stated period of time that the borrowings were outstanding. On January 14, 2000, the Company amended this credit facility to consist of a $22,000,000 line of credit commitment and a $12,500,000 standby letter of credit commitment under the same terms and conditions as the previous agreement. The applicable interest rate for the second quarter of 2000 under this amended agreement was based upon LIBOR plus .60% for periods of 30-180 days and prime minus 1% for periods less than 30 days. A fee of .20% was charged on the unused portion of the line of credit and letter of credit facility and a fee of .60% to .75% was charged on outstanding letters of credit. On May 30, 2000, the Company terminated its existing credit agreement and entered into a new three-year agreement, which provides for a $62,500,000 uncollateralized credit facility that consists of a $50,000,000 line of credit commitment and a $12,500,000 standby letter of credit commitment. Interest on the line of credit is charged at rates that vary based upon a fixed charge coverage ratio, which was LIBOR plus .70% for the third quarter 2000. Fees, which also vary based upon the fixed charge coverage ratio, are charged on the unused portion of the line of credit facility and outstanding standby letters of credit. During the third quarter 2000, a fee of .20% was charged on the unused portion of the line of credit and fees ranging between .60% to .75% were charged on outstanding letters of credit. No fee is charged for the unused portion of the standby letter of credit facility. At September 30, 2000, there were $37,650,000 outstanding borrowings on the line of credit and $7,885,000 outstanding on the standby letter of credit facility. Letters of credit are primarily issued as collateral for self-insured reserves for bodily injury, property damage and workers' compensation claims. The Company believes that it has sufficient credit lines and capacity to meet seasonal and long-term financial needs. The Company's exposure to changes in interest rates is limited to its outstanding balance of its credit facility, which represents 44.2% of its total long-term debt. The Company does not currently use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. Also, the Company is not 10 currently using any fuel hedging instruments as its tariff provisions generally allow for fuel surcharges to be implemented in the event that fuel prices exceed stipulated levels. INFLATION Most of the Company's expenses are affected by inflation, which will generally result in increased costs. For the quarter ending September 30, 2000, the effect of inflation on the Company's results of operations was minimal. SEASONALITY The Company's operations are subject to seasonal trends common in the motor carrier industry. Operating results in the first and fourth quarters are normally lower due to reduced shipments during the winter months. Harsh winter weather can also adversely impact the Company's performance by reducing demand and increasing operating expenses. The second and third quarters are stronger due to increased demand for services during the spring and summer months. ENVIRONMENTAL The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, particularly relative to underground storage tanks. The Company believes it is in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to underground storage tanks, and does not believe that the cost of future compliance will have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial condition.
