Eric Fuller, President and CEO, commented, “Over the last three years we
have implemented a complete overhaul of the Company’s strategy and
operations that we expect will improve execution and profitability. To
achieve our goal, we changed the Company’s culture and recruited the
expertise necessary to drive our transformation. We also implemented
several strategic initiatives focused on improving driver retention,
increasing our asset utilization, creating synergies for our customers
within our different service offerings and driving a culture of cost
management. The early success of our initiatives can clearly be seen in
our second quarter results where we delivered our best Adjusted
Operating Ratio since 1998. That said, we are not satisfied with our
results and believe we can improve as we continue to execute our
strategy designed to deliver an operating ratio in line with our peer
group.”
“Another sign of our successful execution was our initial public
offering where our shares began trading on the NYSE on June 14th.
Our IPO was the culmination of years of hard work by our employees
combined with the strong partnership and support of our customers and
partners. Our offering is an important step in the transformation and
growth of U.S. Xpress and I am excited with the many opportunities that
lie ahead,” concluded Mr. Fuller.
Enterprise Update
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2018 increased by $79.4 million
to $449.8 million as compared to the second quarter of 2017. The
increase was primarily a result of an 11.4% increase in the Company’s
average revenue per loaded mile (excluding fuel surcharge revenue), a
56.2% increase in brokerage revenue to $58.4 million, and a $15.1
million increase in fuel surcharge revenue. Excluding the impact of fuel
surcharges, second quarter revenue increased $64.3 million to $402.8
million, an increase of 19.0% as compared to the prior year quarter.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2018 was $20.0 million which
compares favorably to the $2.7 million achieved in the second quarter of
2017. Excluding one-time costs related to the Company’s IPO transaction
completed in June of 2018, second quarter Adjusted Operating Income was
$26.5 million. The second quarter 2018 Adjusted Operating Ratio was
93.4%, representing a 510 basis point improvement as compared to the
second quarter of 2017. The Adjusted Operating Ratio of 93.4% for the
second quarter is the Company’s lowest operating ratio in 20 years.

Mr. Fuller said, “Overall, we remain optimistic as we continue to
execute our strategy and market conditions remain strong. Of note, we
experienced improving rates and volumes through the second quarter and
expect no catalyst over the near term that would negatively impact
current trends. That said, we continue to see an erosion of professional
driver availability. As a result, we are continuing to focus on our
driver centric initiatives to both retain the professional drivers who
have chosen to partner with us and to attract new professional drivers
to our team. We believe this focus allowed us to offset the difficult
conditions, which have created a significant professional driver supply
challenge for the broader industry as we slightly increased our tractor
count during the second quarter of 2018 through an 11% reduction in our
driver turnover percentage. The environment in the third quarter of 2018
remains strong from a rate and volume perspective and we are currently
anticipating rates to further increase on a sequential basis as we
continue to implement contract rate increases in both our over the road
and dedicated divisions.”
The Truckload segment achieved an Adjusted Operating Ratio of 92.7% for
the second quarter of 2018, a 540 basis point improvement as compared to
the Adjusted Operating Ratio of 98.1% achieved in the second quarter of
2017. The improvement was due to the continued successful implementation
of the Company’s strategic initiatives as well as broader market
conditions.
In the over the road division, average revenue per tractor per week
increased 19.8% in the second quarter of 2018, as compared to the second
quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily the result of a 13.3%
increase in the division’s average revenue per loaded mile (excluding
fuel surcharge revenue) and a 5.8% increase in the division’s revenue
miles per tractor per week. Generally, during a challenging driver
market with increased demand, utilization will decline because a greater
percentage of tractors are in transition onboarding new professional
drivers as compared to being productive and because increased freight
selectivity slows down overall velocity.
Despite the challenging market for drivers, utilization increased
through the successful execution of numerous operational initiatives
gaining traction through the quarter. This strong utilization was
impacted by the over the road division’s support of dedicated accounts
during the quarter, which negatively impacted over the road utilization
by approximately 150 basis points. While supporting the dedicated
accounts with the Company’s over the road fleet negatively affected our
utilization in the second quarter, management believes that when these
accounts are operationally established, U.S. Xpress will be able to
recognize this increase in over the road utilization.
The dedicated division’s average revenue per tractor per week (excluding
fuel surcharge revenue) decreased 2.4% in the second quarter of 2018 as
compared to the second quarter of 2017. The decrease was primarily a
result of a 9.8% decrease in the division’s revenue miles per tractor
per week partially offset by a 8.2% increase in the division’s average
revenue per loaded mile (excluding fuel surcharge revenue). The
reduction in our utilization was primarily the result of certain
accounts’ shipping patterns that performed differently than expected
which affected utilization, driver hiring, and retention, and due in
part to mix changes in the portfolio. As a result of negotiations
related to these accounts that were underperforming from a utilization
standpoint, rate increases have been implemented that were effective as
of the end of July 2018. Overall, tractor count in the Company’s
dedicated division has increased by 15.6% in the second quarter of 2018
as compared to the same period in the prior year and 3.7% sequentially
as compared to the first quarter of 2018.

Brokerage segment revenues increased 56.2% to $58.4 million in the
second quarter of 2018 as compared to $37.4 million in the second
quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily the result of a 21.4%
increase in load count and higher revenue on a per load basis, and due
in part to higher fuel prices. Brokerage gross margins expanded 130
basis points to 12.2% in the second quarter of 2018 as compared to 10.9%
in the second quarter of 2017.
The brokerage segment continues to provide additional selectivity for
the Company’s assets to optimize yield while at the same time offering
more capacity solutions to our customers.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2018, U.S. Xpress had $122.6 million of cash and
availability under our revolving credit facility, $385.8 million of net
debt and $213.6 million of total stockholders' equity. IPO proceeds net
of fees and expenses were used to reduce net debt by approximately
$236.2 million during the quarter. U.S. Xpress is committed to
continuing its efforts to strengthen its balance sheet and reducing the
Company’s leverage ratio which we believe will further position the
Company for future opportunities as they arise. As a result of the
significant decrease in debt combined with the new capital structure put
in place in conjunction with the IPO, consolidated interest expense in
the third quarter of 2018 is expected to approximate $5.0 million as
compared to $12.9 million in the third quarter of 2017.
Capital expenditures, net of proceeds, were $28.8 million in the current
year quarter and $47.5 million year to date. For 2018, U.S. Xpress
expects net capital expenditures will be between $170.0 and $190.0
million. Note, that for 2018 total net capital expenditures are higher
than the Company’s normalized annualized replacement requirements. This
is primarily a result of the mix of this year’s equipment replacements
that will be 100% purchased with none planned for off-balance sheet
leases. This ratio results in a higher net capital expenditures number
for 2018 than if the Company’s fleet had rotated based on the overall
fleet financing profile of approximately two thirds owned and one third
leased.
Conference Call
As previously announced, the Company will hold a conference call to
discuss its second quarter results at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August
2nd, 2018. The conference call can be accessed live over the

2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our net income determined in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’), we evaluate
operating performance using certain non-GAAP measures, including
Adjusted Operating Ratio, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted
Operating Income (on both a consolidated and segment basis), and
Adjusted Net Income. Management believes the use of non-GAAP measures
assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the ongoing
operating performance of our business by allowing more effective
comparison between periods. The non-GAAP information provided is used by
our management and may not be comparable to similarly titled 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 our results as reported
under GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations by relying
primarily on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures on a
supplemental basis.
