U.S. Xpress Enterprises Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results

U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: USX) today announced results for the third quarter of 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights Compared to Third Quarter 2020

  • Operating revenue grew 13.8% to $491.1 million compared to $431.5 million
  • Variant exited the quarter with 1,283 tractors, representing growth of 149%, and contributed to the total tractor count growing sequentially for the first time since the second quarter of 2020
  • Net loss attributable to controlling interest of $5.5 million or $0.11 per share compared to net income attributable to controlling interest of $10.7 million or $0.20 per diluted share
  • During the quarter, the Company recognized an $0.18 per diluted share unrealized loss on a strategic equity investment, which is excluded from the Company’s adjusted results1
  • Adjusted net income attributable to controlling interest1, a non-GAAP measure, of $3.4 million or $0.07 per diluted share compared to $10.7 million or $0.20 per diluted share

“Our third-quarter results reflect further progress in our digital transformation, which is positioning us for long-term profitable growth against the backdrop of operating in an increasingly tight macro environment. During the third quarter, we successfully grew total tractor count sequentially, repriced most of our dedicated portfolio and grew revenue as well as the percentage of loads booked digitally in our Brokerage segment,” said Eric Fuller, President and CEO, U.S. Xpress. “From a financial results perspective, the Dedicated repricing and Variant tractor count growth were both weighted towards the end of the quarter and were outweighed by wage inflation and investments in our digital transformation that we expect to drive long-term profitable growth. We remain on track to exit the year with 1,500 tractors in Variant, and we continue to target doubling our revenues over the next four years.”

Update on Variant

Variant’s tractor count increased to 1,283 tractors or 149% over the last 12 months, which contributed to Variant’s revenue growing to 17.5% of Truckload revenue in the quarter compared to 6.7% of Truckload revenue in the third quarter of 2020. Variant continues to not only scale but outperform the legacy over-the-road (OTR) key metrics in turnover, utilization, preventable accidents per million miles, and average revenue per tractor per week.

Mr. Fuller noted, “We reached a major milestone in the third quarter as Variant tractor count growth outpaced attrition in the legacy OTR division, driving total tractor count growth sequentially. The Variant brand is resonating in the professional driver community, and we continue to have success bringing new professional drivers into Variant despite an increasingly challenging driver market.”

* Excluding fuel surcharge revenues

The Truckload segment generated an operating ratio of 98.0% compared to 94.6% in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted operating ratio1 which adjusts for the impact of the Company’s fuel surcharge program, was 97.8% for the third quarter of 2021 compared to 94.1% in the third quarter of 2020. This change was primarily the result of higher fixed costs as a percentage of revenue as well as the tractor count declining 461 tractors year-over-year. In addition, inflationary pressures in both wage and fuel expenses were only partially offset by the increased rate per mile in the quarter.

In the OTR division, the average revenue per tractor per week increased 2.4%, or $90 per tractor per week, compared with the third quarter of 2020. The increase in average revenue per tractor per week was the result of an 18.3% increase in average revenue per mile, attributable to a strong freight market and Variant’s Optimizer 2.0 prioritizing yield which is the combination of rate and utility. This increase was partially offset by a 13.3% decrease in revenue miles per tractor per week, which we attribute to decisions made by Variant’s Optimizer to prioritize yield and the increasingly challenging professional driver market.

The Dedicated division’s average revenue per tractor per week increased 6.8%, or $275 per tractor per week to $4,340, compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily a result of a 7.4% increase in average revenue per mile partially offset by a 0.6% decline in average revenue miles per tractor per week.

Mr. Fuller commented, “The most important takeaway from our Truckload segment is that our total tractor count has troughed and grew sequentially in the third quarter. This is an important inflection point for the business as the growth of Variant has begun to outpace the attrition of our legacy OTR division. With Variant growing and our Dedicated rate increases helping to attract drivers, we are positioned to close out the year with strong momentum heading into 2022.”

The Brokerage segment continues to provide additional selectivity for the Company’s assets to optimize yield while at the same time offering expanded capacity solutions to customers. Brokerage segment revenue increased to $90.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $56.0 million in the third quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of increased revenue per load and, to a lesser extent, an increase in load count in the quarter. Brokerage operating loss was $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to an operating loss of $4.5 million in the year-ago quarter.

Mr. Fuller said, “We continue to grow revenue, load count, and the percentage of transactions processed on our digital platform in our Brokerage segment in line with our near-term profitability expectations for this business. Our focus remains on capturing market share and growing load count from a more diverse customer base, building out our carrier network density, and delivering purpose built technological products to our customers. We believe these actions will all positively contribute to operating margin improvement at scale.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At the end of the third quarter 2021, the Company had $180.1 million of liquidity (defined as cash plus availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility), $356.8 million of net debt (defined as long-term debt, including current maturities, less cash balances), and $280.9 million of total stockholders' equity.

The Company expects its net capital expenditures to approximate $130 million to $150 million for the full year of 2021. Through September 30, 2021, net capital expenditures were $71.1 million.

Outlook

Mr. Fuller commented, “As we think about the future of our industry and where we want to be positioned, we are making investment decisions based upon a longer-term horizon of three to five years. We believe that at that time, the convergence of digital processes, artificial intelligence, automation, alternative fuels, and workforce choices will have dramatically shaped the future of our industry, and those who embrace digital transformation will be in a position to succeed. The decisions and investments that we are making today are designed to position us as a leader in the future state of freight transportation. Between now and then, we will remain focused on investing in our future with an emphasis on growing Variant’s tractor count, and consequently, we expect gradual margin expansion, though our quarterly results may fluctuate until we reach maturity.”

Supplemental Financial Information

Additional information regarding the U.S. Xpress’ operating results is provided below as well as on the Company’s investor page at investor.usxpress.com.

(1) 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 Income, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Controlling Interest, and Adjusted EPS (on a consolidated and, as applicable, segment basis). 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. Further, management uses non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Ratio, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Controlling Interest, and Adjusted EPS measures on a supplemental basis to remove items that may not be an indicator of performance from period-to-period. The non-GAAP information provided is used by our 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 should not be considered measures of income generated by our business or discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. You should not consider the non-GAAP measures used herein 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.

Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G and Regulation S-K, we have provided reconciliations of Adjusted Operating Ratio, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Controlling Interest, and Adjusted EPS to the most comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release.
