-- Fourth Quarter EPS from Continuing Operations of $1.08, Up 16%
MIAMI, FL, Feb 02, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R), a global leader in transportation and supply chain management solutions, today reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) from continuing operations were $1.08 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2006, up 16% from EPS of $0.93 in the year-earlier period. EPS in the fourth quarter of 2006 included net restructuring and other charges of $0.01. Earnings from continuing operations were $65.8 million, up 11% from $59.5 million in the year-earlier period. EPS improvement reflects better business segment results and the impact of a stock repurchase program completed in February 2006.
Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2006 were also $65.8 million, or $1.08 per share, compared with $58.8 million, or $0.92 per share, in the year-earlier period. Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2005 included a benefit of $1.7 million, or $0.03 per share, related to discontinued operations and a charge of $2.4 million, or $0.04 per share, for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting.
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $1.59 billion, up 3% from $1.54 billion in the comparable period last year. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) was $1.15 billion, up 6% compared with $1.09 billion in the year-earlier period. Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment revenue decreased 1%, due to lower fuel services and commercial rental revenue, which offset strong contractual revenue growth of 5% for the quarter. Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business segment revenue grew 13%, driven by new and expanded business in all industry groups. Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) business segment revenue decreased 2%, due to lower fuel revenues associated with declining fuel pricing and volumes.
"Our contract-based business now represents nearly 90% percent of Ryder's revenue," said Ryder Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Greg Swienton. "The record revenue we achieved in 2006 reflects a very strong year of new business in which our sales teams secured long-term contracts with customers in all business segments. These multi-year agreements with quality customers provide a strong platform for delivering long-term profitable contractual growth across all of our business segments."
EPS from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2006 included a net restructuring and other charge of $0.01 per share. This net charge is comprised of early debt termination costs and severance in connection with global cost savings initiatives, and a one-time, non-cash charge for the adjustment of postretirement benefit plan obligations. These charges were partially offset by a pension re-measurement benefit. The fourth quarter 2006 pension re-measurement is unrelated to pension plan changes announced by the Company in January of 2007. EPS from continuing operations in the year-earlier period included restructuring costs of $0.04 related primarily to severance and the termination of an information technology contract as part of global cost-savings initiatives.
Full-Year 2006 Results
Revenue for the full-year 2006 was $6.31 billion, up 10% from $5.74 billion in the comparable period of 2005. Operating revenue of $4.45 billion was up 6% from $4.21 billion in the same period of 2005. Ryder's full-year 2006 earnings from continuing operations were $249.0 million compared with $227.6 million in the year-earlier period. EPS from continuing operations were $4.04 for 2006, up 14% compared with $3.53 for the same period of 2005. EPS from continuing operations included an $0.11 income tax benefit related to a change in Texas and Canada income tax laws in 2006 and a $0.12 income tax benefit related to a change in Ohio income tax laws in 2005. EPS from continuing operations in 2006 also included a $0.06 third quarter pension accounting charge related to the accounting for prior service costs. Full-year 2006 comparable earnings from continuing operations were $245.9 million, up 12% from $220.0 million in 2005. Excluding the income tax benefits in both years, and the third quarter pension charge in 2006, comparable full-year 2006 EPS from continuing operations of $3.99 were up 17% from $3.41 in 2005.
Fourth Quarter Business Segment Operating Results
Ryder's primary measurement of business segment financial performance, Net Before Tax (NBT), allocates Central Support Services to each business segment and excludes restructuring and other (charges) recoveries, net, and certain 2006 retirement plan charges.
Fleet Management Solutions
Ryder's Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment combines several capabilities into a comprehensive package that provides one-stop outsourcing of the acquisition, maintenance, management, and disposal of vehicles. Ryder's commercial rental service offers customers a method to expand their fleets in order to address short-term capacity needs.
In the FMS business segment, revenue in the fourth quarter of 2006 was $1.01 billion, down 1% compared with the year-earlier period. Fuel services revenue for the fourth quarter of 2006 decreased 10% compared with the same period in 2005, due to lower fuel volume and pricing as a result of market cost decreases. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel) in the fourth quarter of 2006 was $741.3 million, up 2% compared with $723.6 million in the year-earlier period. Full service lease revenue for the fourth quarter of 2006 was up 5% from the year-earlier period reflecting growth in all geographic markets. In the quarter, contract maintenance revenue increased 16% due to continuing positive sales activity. Commercial rental revenue decreased 7% compared with the year-earlier period, reflecting lower utilization and pricing due to softer market demand conditions.
The FMS business segment's NBT increased to $94.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, up 3% compared with $92.0 million in the same period of 2005. This improvement was driven by better lease and contract maintenance results as well as higher gains on used vehicle sales. The improvement was partially offset by lower commercial rental results in North America and higher sales and marketing and other compensation-related costs. Business segment NBT as a percentage of operating revenue was 12.8% in the fourth quarter of 2006, up 10 basis points compared with 12.7% in the same quarter a year ago.
Supply Chain Solutions
Ryder's Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business segment enables customers to improve shareholder value and their customers' satisfaction by enhancing supply chain performance and reducing costs. The solutions involve management of the logistics pipeline as a synchronized, integrated process -- from raw material supply to finished goods distribution. By improving business processes and employing new technologies, the flow of goods and cash is made faster and consumes less capital.
In the SCS business segment, fourth quarter 2006 revenue totaled $543.1 million, up 13% from $482.7 million in the comparable period of 2005. Revenue grew due to higher volumes and new and expanded business in all industry groups, and an increase in managed subcontracted transportation. Operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation) was $320.1 million, up 17% from $274.2 million in the comparable period a year ago.
The SCS business segment's NBT was $17.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, up 22% from $14.0 million in the same quarter of 2005. The earnings increase was related to higher volumes and new and expanded business in all U.S. industry groups. Business segment NBT as a percentage of operating revenue was 5.3% in the fourth quarter of 2006, up 20 basis points compared with 5.1% in the same quarter of 2005.
Dedicated Contract Carriage
Ryder's Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) business segment provides customers with vehicles, drivers, management, and administrative support, with the assets committed to a specific customer for a contractual term. DCC supports customers with both basic and sophisticated logistics and transportation needs including routing and scheduling, specialized driver services, and logistical engineering support.
In the DCC business segment, fourth quarter 2006 revenue totaled $140.2 million, down 2% compared with $142.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation) in the fourth quarter of 2006 was $135.6 million, down 2% compared with $137.8 million in the year-earlier period. Revenue decreased due to lower fuel revenues associated with declining fuel pricing and volumes.
The DCC business segment's NBT in the fourth quarter of 2006 was $11.2 million, up 8% compared with $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Business segment NBT was positively impacted by lower safety and insurance costs, including a hurricane related recovery. Business segment NBT as a percentage of operating revenue was 8.3% in the fourth quarter of 2006, up 80 basis points compared with 7.5% in the year-earlier period.
Corporate Financial Information
Central Support Services
Central Support Services (CSS) are overhead costs incurred to support all business segments and product lines. Substantially all CSS costs are allocated to the various business segments.
In the fourth quarter of 2006, CSS costs were $49.3 million, down from $50.9 million in the year-earlier period. The decrease was due primarily to lower information technology spending from ongoing cost containment initiatives. Full-year CSS costs were $192.1 million, down from $198.3 million in 2005.
Capital Expenditures
In Ryder's business, capital expenditures are generally used to purchase revenue-earning equipment (trucks, tractors, and trailers) primarily to
support the full service lease product line and secondarily to support the commercial rental product line within Ryder's Fleet Management Solutions business segment. The level of capital required to support the full service lease product line varies directly with customer contract signings for replacement vehicles and growth. These contracts are long-term agreements that result in predictable revenues and cash flows to Ryder typically over a three- to ten-year term. The commercial rental product line utilizes capital for the purchase of vehicles to replenish and expand the Company's fleet available for shorter-term use by contractual or occasional customers.
Capital expenditures were $1.76 billion for the full-year 2006, compared with $1.43 billion in 2005. Net capital expenditures (including proceeds from the sale of assets) were $1.43 billion, up from $1.09 billion in 2005. The increase in capital expenditures reflects higher lease vehicle spending for replacement and expansion of customer fleets.
Cash Flow and Leverage
Operating cash flow through December 31, 2006 was $853.6 million, up 10% from $779.1 million in the same period of 2005. Total cash generated (including proceeds from used vehicle sales) through December 31, 2006, was $1.25 billion, up 6% from $1.18 billion in the same period of 2005. Free cash flow through December 31, 2006 was negative $444.5 million compared with negative $231.3 million for 2005, primarily due to funding requirements associated with higher capital spending and pension contributions, partially offset by lower income tax payments.
Balance sheet debt as of December 31, 2006 increased by $631.5 million compared with year-end 2005, due primarily to increased capital spending required to support contractual revenue growth, pension contributions, and the impact of share repurchases. The leverage ratio for balance sheet debt as of December 31, 2006 was 164%, compared with 143% at year-end 2005. Total obligations to equity as of December 31, 2006 was 168%, up from 151% at year-end 2005. The Company's long-term target range for total obligations to equity is 250% to 300%, which largely reflects the liquidity of the Company's vehicle portfolio and the substantial revenue component that is supported by long-term customer contracts related to those assets.
2007 Forecast
Ryder forecasts full-year 2007 earnings to be in the range of $4.30 to $4.40 per diluted share. This represents an EPS increase of 8% to 10% over Ryder's comparable full-year 2006 EPS. The Company also established a first quarter 2007 EPS forecast of $0.80 to $0.84.
"We are forecasting Ryder's 2007 revenue to grow by 5% to 7%, with operating revenue growth of 4% to 5%," said Ryder Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Greg Swienton. "These levels of revenue growth are expected to be driven primarily by a 5% to 6% increase in core contractual Fleet Management revenue, offset by an expected 6% to 7% reduction in transactional revenue related to our smaller commercial rental business. Additionally, Supply Chain revenue is forecast to grow 12% to 14% and Dedicated Contract Carriage revenue is expected to increase by 2% to 3%. Based on the momentum of our contract-related business in all segments, we enter 2007 well positioned to deliver on our profitable growth objectives."
The Company anticipates 2007 capital expenditures to be $1.33 billion; net capital expenditures (including proceeds from sale of assets) are expected to be $855 million. Cash from operations is forecast to be $1.10 billion with total cash generated of $1.49 billion and free cash flow of $235 million in 2007. The planned improvement in cash flow for 2007 is expected to be driven by higher cash flow from operating activities coupled with lower required spending to support vehicle replacements for customers of the Company's full service lease product line.
