Schneider National, Inc. (NYSE: SNDR, “Schneider” or the “Company”), a leading transportation and logistics services company, today announced results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018.
“Our portfolio of service offerings consisting of asset, asset-light, and non-asset businesses delivered strong financial results for a couple of key reasons," noted Chris Lofgren, Chief Executive Officer of Schneider. “First, we provided our customers with a variety of valuable alternatives in a highly driver-constrained environment as evidenced by growth in our Intermodal and Logistics segments. Second, our Quest technology platform delivered enhanced margins through driver and asset productivity, in conjunction with yield management. Our Intermodal segment improved its operating ratio by over 750 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2017, and more than 250 basis points sequentially compared to the first quarter of 2018, due to the benefits of our 2017 chassis conversion, strong execution, market dynamics, and the complete integration of our Quest platform. We continue to work with our customers to ensure productivity in all aspects of their supply chains. The foreseeable limited supply of driver capacity puts productivity at a premium.”

Results of Operations – Enterprise
Enterprise operating revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were $1,236.3 million, resulting in growth of $161.1 million, or 15%, compared to the same quarter in 2017. Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) for the second quarter of 2018 were $1,103.2 million, growth of $120.6 million, or 12%, compared to the same quarter in 2017. The primary driver of the Company's revenue growth was a strong pricing and demand environment, driven by tight industry-wide capacity throughout the quarter.
Enterprise income from operations for the second quarter of 2018 was $91.7 million, an increase of $12.7 million, or 16%, compared to the same quarter in 2017, primarily driven by price, partially offset by higher driver capacity related costs. Adjusted income from operations for the second quarter of 2018 was $97.5 million, an increase of $29.8 million, or 44%, compared to the same quarter in 2017. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded in its Other segment $5.8 million of expense related to a settlement of a lawsuit that challenged Washington state labor law compliance. This expense was removed to arrive at Enterprise adjusted income from operations.
Net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $65.8 million, or $0.37 on a weighted average diluted per share basis, an increase of $19.3 million, or 42%, compared to the same quarter in 2017. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $70.1 million, or $0.40 on a weighted average diluted per share basis, an increase of $30.4 million, or 77%, compared to the same quarter in 2017. The effective income tax rate was 25.5% in the second quarter of 2018, compared to 37.7% in the second quarter of 2017. The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate to be between 25.5% and 26.5%.
Results of Operations – Reportable Segments
Truckload
- Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge): $568.7 million; growth of 5% compared to second quarter 2017
- Income from operations: $62.3 million; an increase of 17% compared to second quarter 2017
Truckload revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) grew 5% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter in 2017. Revenue per truck per week improved $239, or 7%, compared to the same quarter in 2017 and $167, or 5%, sequentially compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to price, strong demand, and freight selection. Dedicated standard and for-hire standard revenue per truck per week grew 13% and 11%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2017.
Truckload income from operations increased 17% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter in 2017, primarily due to price, partially offset by higher driver and purchased transportation costs, and lower gains on equipment sales. The average number of trucks decreased approximately 260 sequentially from the first quarter of 2018, due in part to restructuring of the Company's Dedicated account portfolio. The Company's First to Final Mile (FTFM) operating segment sequentially improved operating results to a loss of approximately $4 million in the second quarter of 2018, and remains on pace towards profitability. FTFM negatively impacted Truckload segment operating ratio by approximately 210 basis points in the second quarter of 2018.
Intermodal
- Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge): $227.9 million; growth of 17% compared to second quarter 2017
- Income from operations: $30.8 million; an increase of 175% compared to second quarter 2017
Intermodal revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) grew 17% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter in 2017 due to a 7% growth in orders and a $183, or 10%, improvement in revenue per order. Tight industry-wide driver capacity resulted in conversion from over-the-road to intermodal. In addition, Intermodal effectively introduced nearly 1,500 new containers into its operations in the second quarter and sequentially improved container productivity compared to the first quarter of 2018.
Intermodal income from operations increased 175% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter in 2017, due to volume growth, strong price, effective execution, and an improved cost position as a result of the 2017 conversion to owned chassis. Intermodal operating ratio was 86.5%, an improvement of over 750 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2017.
Logistics
- Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge): $249.7 million; growth of 30% compared to second quarter 2017
- Income from operations: $10.2 million; an increase of 57% compared to second quarter 2017
Logistics revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) grew 30% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter in 2017, mainly due to brokerage volume growth of 19% and pricing. Brokerage was 79% of Logistics revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 73% for the same quarter in 2017.
Logistics income from operations increased 57% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter in 2017, due to volume growth in brokerage, and effective net revenue management, as evidenced by a 60 basis point sequential improvement in Logistics operating ratio.
Business Outlook
Lofgren commented, “Our disciplined approach to pricing and dynamic freight selection, based on market conditions, will remain critical to successfully navigate in the robust market we see ahead. Seeing no moderation to the supply-demand balance for the remainder of 2018, coupled with strong performance by our Intermodal and Logistics segments, we are increasing our full year 2018 adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to $1.45 - $1.55. Our deployment of capital will be to the segments with the best return profiles given market conditions, recognizing the tight driver market. We will continue to be flexible and well positioned to invest in new opportunities in the more driver-friendly dedicated and intermodal businesses. Our 2018 net capital expenditures guidance remains at $325 million to $375 million.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures, including revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Management believes the use of non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding the business, as further described below. The non-GAAP information provided is used by Company management and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. The non-GAAP measures used herein have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of results as reported under GAAP.
A reconciliation of net income per share to adjusted diluted earnings per share as projected for 2018 is not provided. Schneider does not forecast net income per share as the Company cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with certainty various components of net income. The components of net income that cannot be predicted include expenses for items that do not relate to core operating performance, such as costs related to potential future acquisitions, as well as the related tax impact of these items. Further, in the future, other items with similar characteristics to those currently included in adjusted net income, that have a similar impact on the comparability of periods, and which are not known at this time, may exist and impact adjusted net income.

Schneider National, Inc.
Reconciliation of Non - GAAP
Financial Measures
(unaudited)
In this earnings release, the Company presents the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), (2) adjusted income from operations, (3) adjusted operating ratio, (4) adjusted net income, and (5) adjusted diluted earnings per share. The Company also provides below reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the use of each of these non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding our business by (a) removing the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance, (b) providing investors with the same information our management uses internally to assess our core operating performance and (c) presenting comparable financial results between periods. Adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP measures are made at the enterprise level, with the exception of fuel surcharge revenues, which are not included in segment revenues.
In the case of revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), the Company believes the measure is useful to investors because it isolates volume, price, and cost changes directly related to industry demand and the way the Company operates its business from the external factor of fluctuating fuel prices and the programs in place to manage fuel price fluctuations. Fuel-related costs and their impact on our industry are important to our results of operations, but they are often independent of other, more relevant factors affecting our results of operations and our industry.
Although the Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, they have limitations as analytical tools and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. You should not consider the non-GAAP measures in this release in isolation or as substitutes for, or alternatives to, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of unusual or non-recurring items or other adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will not be affected by unusual or non-recurring items or by other items similar to such adjustments. Our management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results in addition to using the non-GAAP measures.
