Third Quarter 2020 Highlights (all metrics compared to third quarter 2019 unless otherwise noted)

-- Total revenues of $590.2 million, down 5% year over year (YoY), up 4% sequentially -- Operating income of $62.1 million, up 16% YoY, up 18% sequentially; non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $64.3 million, up 19% YoY, up 11% sequentially -- Operating margin of 10.5%, up 190 basis points (bps) YoY, up 120 bps sequentially; non-GAAP adjusted operating margin of 10.9%, up 210 bps YoY, up 80 bps sequentially -- Record diluted EPS of $0.67, up 19% YoY, up 18% sequentially; non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS of $0.69, up 21% YoY, up 12% sequentially -- Establishment of a formal organization-wide sustainability strategy and the introduction of three milestone goals

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Werner Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: WERN), one of the nations largest transportation and logistics companies, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

The rapidly recovering economy and tight driver market produced strong freight conditions in third quarter 2020, which have continued into October, said Derek J. Leathers, President and Chief Executive Officer. I am extremely proud of how our entire Werner team has stepped up to the challenge with superior on-time service during a period with unique and demanding operating conditions.

One-Way Truckload freight demand was strong and improved throughout third quarter 2020. Dedicated freight demand remained strong during the quarter, particularly for our essential products customers who constitute nearly three-quarters of our Dedicated freight base. Due to the unprecedented large and rapid rise in spot truckload rates during third quarter, the cost of third-party truckload capacity increased significantly for our contractual Truckload Logistics business which reduced our Logistics gross margin and operating income. We continue to effectively and proactively manage our controllable costs without compromising our exceptional customer service.

While there remain significant uncertainties related to COVID-19 and its effect on the economy, we are confident that demand for our services will remain strong for the foreseeable future. Customer inventory levels have been depleted and are expected to take multiple quarters to restock as the U.S. economy recovers. Driver supply constraints persist.

Total revenues for the quarter decreased $28.1 million to $590.2 million versus the prior-year quarter, primarily attributable to lower fuel surcharge and Logistics revenues.

Operating income of $62.1 million increased $8.7 million, or 16%, versus the prior-year quarter, while operating margin of 10.5% increased 190 basis points. Our GAAP results included $0.9 million, or $0.01 per share, of additional depreciation expense related to a change in estimated life of certain trucks expected to be sold in 2020 (previously disclosed). On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted operating income of $64.3 million increased $10.1 million, or 19%. Adjusted operating margin of 10.9% improved 210 basis points from 8.8% for the same quarter last year.

Interest expense of $0.9 million was $1.5 million lower, due to lower average borrowings. The effective income tax rate during the quarter was 24.6% compared to 24.4% in third quarter 2019.

Net income of $46.3 million increased 19%. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income increased 21% to $47.9 million compared to $39.6 million for the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter of $0.67 increased 19%. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted diluted EPS of $0.69 increased 21% compared to $0.57 in third quarter 2019.

Truckload Transportation Services (TTS) Segment

-- Revenues of $458.3 million decreased $22.1 million -- Operating income of $63.1 million increased $14.2 million, or 29%; non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $65.2 million increased $15.6 million, or 31% -- Operating margin of 13.8% increased 360 basis points from 10.2%; non-GAAP adjusted operating margin of 14.2% increased 390 basis points from 10.3% -- Average segment trucks in service totaled 7,615, a decrease of 395 trucks year over year -- Dedicated unit trucks at quarter end totaled 4,715, or 61% of the total TTS segment fleet, compared to 4,620 trucks, or 57%, a year ago

Revenues decreased $22.1 million due to a $20.4 million decrease in fuel surcharge revenues and a 4.9% decrease in average trucks in service, partially offset by a 5.0% increase in average revenues per truck. The average revenues per truck increase was due primarily to improved pricing in both Dedicated and One-Way Truckload.

One-Way Truckload freight volumes in third quarter 2020 were strong. Freight demand gained momentum in One-Way Truckload throughout third quarter 2020, which has continued into October.

In our Dedicated fleet, freight demand remained strong in third quarter 2020. Approximately three-quarters of our Dedicated revenues are with essential products customers, and their freight volumes were much better than normal during third quarter 2020. We added 180 Dedicated trucks during third quarter 2020.

In third quarter 2020, TTS company truck miles decreased by approximately 5.0 million miles, and independent contractor miles decreased by approximately 4.5 million miles.

Comparisons of key financial metrics for the TTS segment, including operating ratios (actual and net of fuel surcharge revenues), are shown on the next page. Fluctuating fuel prices and fuel surcharge revenues impact the total company operating ratio and the TTS segments operating ratio when fuel surcharges are reported on a gross basis as revenues versus netting against fuel expenses. Eliminating fuel surcharge revenues, which are generally a more volatile source of revenue, provides a more consistent basis for comparing the results of operations from period to period.

Werner Logistics Segment

-- Revenues of $117.4 million decreased $4.0 million, or 3% -- Gross margin of 10.8% decreased 440 bps -- Operating loss of $(0.9) million decreased $3.9 million, or 128% -- Operating margin of (0.7)% decreased 320 bps

Truckload Logistics revenues (60% of total Logistics revenues) declined 15%. Truckload Logistics volume declined 15%, and revenue per load was unchanged. Intermodal revenues (28% of Logistics revenues) increased 31%, due to volume growth of 37% and 5% lower revenue per load from lower rates and fuel surcharges.

The gross margin percentage decreased 440 bps due to the unprecedented large and rapid rise in spot truckload rates which significantly increased the cost of capacity for contractual brokerage shipments in third quarter 2020. The logistics operating margin declined 320 bps to (0.7)% as the 31% decline in gross profit exceeded the 12% decline in other operating expenses.

Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Cash flow from operations in third quarter 2020 was $59.1 million compared to $111.8 million in third quarter 2019, a decrease of 47%, due primarily to changes in certain working capital items.

Net capital expenditures in third quarter 2020 were $79.7 million compared to $109.3 million in third quarter 2019, a decrease of 27%. We plan to continue to invest in new trucks and trailers and our terminals to improve our driver experience, increase operational efficiency and more effectively manage our maintenance, safety and fuel costs. The average age of our truck fleet remains low by industry standards and was 2.0 years as of September 30, 2020.

Gains on sales of equipment in third quarter 2020 were $3.9 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to $4.1 million, or $0.04 per share, in the prior-year quarter. Year over year, we sold substantially more trucks and fewer trailers, and we realized significantly lower average gains per truck and slightly higher average gains per trailer. Pricing in the market for our used trucks began to improve in third quarter 2020. As a reminder, gains on sales of assets are reflected as a reduction of Other Operating Expenses in our income statement.

We did not repurchase shares of our common stock in third quarter 2020. As of September 30, 2020, we had 4.0 million shares remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

We had $175 million of debt outstanding as of September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, we had $40 million of cash and nearly $1.2 billion of stockholders equity.

Sustainability

We are excited to announce that today we are unveiling the addition of sustainability as a core component of our five Ts strategy. While Werner has long had a dedicated focus on this important imperative, over the last several months, our executive team has come together to discuss and mobilize around codifying an organization-wide sustainability strategy.

While corporate adherence to environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles is becoming increasingly important to investors, customers and our associates, the ideals of environmental stewardship, support of our local communities and strong corporate governance are nothing new for Werner. We believe that formalizing our approach on this important area will lead to even greater positive outcomes than what we have delivered to date. Today, we are announcing the establishment of three initial milestone goals that support our commitment to be a leader in corporate social responsibility.

-- 55% reduction in carbon emissions by 2035 against the base year of 2020 -- Formation of 3 additional associate resource groups by the end of 2021 -- Establishment of a formal diversity leadership position by the end of first quarter 2021

As a leader at the forefront of our industry across many measures, Im excited to advance our efforts in environmental, social and governance issues to deliver even greater impact for our stakeholders, including our associates, customers, communities and shareholders. As we embark on this journey, the opportunities in front of us are many and we look forward to delivering even more than what youve come to expect from Werner, added Leathers.

In the coming weeks, we will publish a comprehensive overview on our sustainability efforts to date, where we are on our ESG journey and what you can expect from Werner going forward.

(1) During third quarter 2020 and 2019, we accrued pre-tax insurance and claims expense for interest related to a previously disclosed excess adverse jury verdict rendered on May 17, 2018 in a lawsuit arising from a December 2014 accident. The Company is appealing this verdict. Additional information about the accident was included in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 17, 2018. Under our insurance policies in effect on the date of this accident, our maximum liability for this accident is $10.0 million (plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest) with premium-based insurance coverage that exceeds the jury verdict amount. Interest is accrued at $0.4 million per month until such time as the outcome of our appeal is finalized excluding the months of June and July 2019 where the plaintiffs requested an extension of time to respond to our appeal. Management believes excluding the effect of this item provides a more useful comparison of our performance from period to period. This item is included in the Truckload Transportation Services segment in our Segment Information table.

(2) During first quarter 2020, we changed the estimated life of certain trucks currently expected to be sold in 2020 to more rapidly depreciate these trucks to their estimated residual values due to the weak used truck market.These trucks will continue to depreciate at the same higher rate per truck until the trucks are sold. Management believes excluding the effect of this unusual and infrequent item provides a more useful comparison of our performance from period to period. This item is included in the Truckload Transportation Services segment in our Segment Information table.

(3) Our definition of the non-GAAP measures adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share begins with (a) operating expenses, the most comparable GAAP measure. We subtract the insurance and claims jury verdict interest accrual and the additional depreciation expense from (a) to arrive at adjusted operating expenses, which we subtract from operating revenues to arrive at (b) adjusted operating income. We subtract (c) total other expense (income) from (b) adjusted operating income to arrive at (d) adjusted income before income taxes. We calculate adjusted income tax expense by applying the incremental income tax rate excluding discrete items to the net pre-tax adjustments and adding this additional income tax to GAAP income tax expense. We then subtract adjusted income tax expense from adjusted income before income taxes to arrive at adjusted net income. The adjusted net income is divided by the diluted shares outstanding to calculate the adjusted diluted earnings per share.
