NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YRC Worldwide Inc. and Subsidiaries

(Unaudited)

 

1. Description of Business

YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide”, “the Company”, “we” or “our”), one of the largest transportation service providers in the world, is a holding company that through wholly owned operating subsidiaries offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. These services include global, national and regional transportation as well as logistics. The YRC Worldwide portfolio of brands provides a comprehensive suite of services for the shipment of industrial, commercial and retail goods domestically and internationally. Our reportable segments, which are comprised of our various operating subsidiaries, include the following:

 

   

YRC National Transportation (“National Transportation”) is a holding company for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in regional, national and international services. National Transportation is comprised of Yellow Transportation and Roadway. These companies each provide for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through regionalized and centralized management and customer facing organizations. National Transportation also owns 100% of Reimer Express Lines (“Reimer”), located in Canada, that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. Approximately 36% of National Transportation shipments are completed in two days or less. In addition to the United States and Canada, National Transportation also serves parts of Mexico and Puerto Rico.

 

   

YRC Regional Transportation (“Regional Transportation”) is a holding company for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. Regional Transportation is comprised of New Penn Motor Express (“New Penn”), USF Holland and USF Reddaway. These companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States (“U.S.”); Quebec, Canada; Mexico and Puerto Rico. USF Glen Moore, a provider of truckload services throughout the U.S., is also a subsidiary of Regional Transportation. Approximately 90% of Regional Transportation less-than-truckload (“LTL”) shipments are completed in two days or less. In 2006, Regional Transportation also included USF Bestway. In February 2007, we consolidated the majority of USF Bestway’s operations into USF Reddaway.

 

   

Logistics includes the Meridian IQ family of companies that plan and coordinate the movement of goods worldwide to provide customers a single source for logistics management solutions. Logistics delivers a wide range of global logistics management services, with the ability to provide customers improved return-on-investment results through flexible, fast and easy-to-implement logistics services and technology management solutions.

At March 31, 2007, approximately 70% of our labor force is subject to collective bargaining agreements, which predominantly expire in 2008.

 

2. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in non-majority owned affiliates, where the entity is either not a variable interest entity or YRC Worldwide is not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for on the equity method. Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have prepared the consolidated financial statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, all normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise noted, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these financial statements have been made. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company revised the estimated useful lives and salvage values of certain classes of property and equipment to more appropriately reflect how the Company expects to use the assets over time. Effective July 1, 2006, the Company increased revenue equipment lives to ten to twenty years from three to fourteen years and modified certain salvage values. If the Company had not changed the estimated useful lives and salvage values of this property and equipment, additional depreciation expense of approximately $13.5 million would have been recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Accordingly, the changes in estimates resulted in an increase in income from continuing operations of approximately $13.5 million (an $8.2 million increase in net income) for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The change in estimate also increased diluted earnings per share by $0.14 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

 

3. Restructuring and Reorganization

In January 2007, we announced the consolidation of USF Reddaway and USF Bestway, two subsidiaries within our Regional Transportation segment. As part of the consolidation, effective February 12, 2007, we no longer market the USF Bestway brand. We incurred certain restructuring and other closure related charges in conjunction with this organizational change consisting primarily of employee separation and contract termination costs.

In addition, in January 2007 we announced further organizational changes that brought the management of Yellow Transportation and Roadway under one organization established as YRC National Transportation. We incurred employee separation charges in the first quarter of 2007 related to these changes.

As a part of our 2005 acquisition of USF Corporation, we closed an operating subsidiary (USF Dugan) and consolidated certain administrative functions and locations. We incurred restructuring and other closure related charges related to these actions. During 2007, we have continued to make payments under these obligations.

We reassess the reserve requirements under the above restructuring efforts at the end of each reporting period. A rollforward of the restructuring accrual is set forth below:

In addition to the restructuring charges of $8.1 million, we incurred reorganization and other closure related charges of $6.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007. These charges are included in the ‘Reorganization charges’ caption in the consolidated statements of operations. Other charges included $2.3 million of stock-based compensation related to the acceleration of the vesting period for restricted stock units awarded to certain terminated executives. The remaining $4.1 million of other closure related charges represents incremental costs associated with the USF Bestway closure.

The settlement and special termination benefits costs of $2.9 million presented above are included in reorganization charges in our consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

 

6. Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $7.1 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction of $5.7 million to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings and an increase of $1.4 million to goodwill resulting from prior acquisitions. Additionally, we reclassed a $53 million credit from “Prepaid Expenses and Other” to “Other Current and Accrued Liabilities” effective January 1, 2007. The Company has elected to treat interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as interest expense and other operating expenses, respectively, rather than continue the pre-FIN 48 treatment as components of the income tax provision.

The total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest as of the date of adoption were $74.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Both are classified on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet within “Other Current and Accrued Liabilities”. The Company has accrued no penalties relative to uncertain tax positions.

 

9


The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of the date of adoption was $5 million.

Tax years that remain subject to examination for the Company’s major tax jurisdictions as of the date of adoption:

 

           Pre-acquisition tax years
      YRC Worldwide    USF Corporation (a)    Roadway (b)
Statute remains open    2003-2006    2000-2005    2001-03
Tax years currently under examination/exam completed    2003-2005    2000-2005    2001-03
Tax years not examined    2006    None    None

(a) Years ending on or before May 24, 2005.
(b) Years ending on or before December 11, 2003.

Reasonably possible changes in the next 12 months in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits relate to the following tax positions:

The United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has begun an audit of the Company’s 2005 tax return and indicated that it will propose an adjustment relative to the deduction claimed for contributions to union pension plans. The Company intends to protest the adjustment. The additional tax that could result from the adjustment is approximately $51 million. Pursuant to the provisions of FIN 48, the Company has posted no tax benefit for this deduction. This audit could be resolved in 2007.

The IRS has audited certain pre-acquisition tax returns for a consolidated group acquired in 2005 and disallowed a 2002 loss related to the disposition of the stock of a member of that group. The Company believes the loss is fully deductible and has protested the IRS adjustment. The additional tax that could result should the loss ultimately be totally denied is approximately $50 million. This audit could be resolved in 2007. Any tax liability resulting from the audit would affect only goodwill recognized in the allocation of the purchase price of the acquired subsidiary.

 

7. Earnings Per Share

Dilutive securities, consisting of options to purchase our common stock or rights to receive common stock in the future, included in the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares were 638,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 554,000 for the three ended March 31, 2006. In addition, dilutive securities related to our net share settle contingent convertible notes were 639,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 1,200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

The impact of certain other options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because average exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common shares. In addition, the computation of the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes includes inputs of the year-to-date average stock price relative to the stated conversion price. If this relationship is such that the year-to-date average stock price is less then the stated conversion price, the computed shares would be antidilutive under the treasury stock method. Data regarding antidilutive securities for the three months ended March 31 is summarized below:

We report financial and descriptive information about our reportable operating segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We evaluate performance primarily on adjusted operating income and return on capital.

We have three reportable segments, which are strategic business units that offer complementary transportation services to their customers. National Transportation includes carriers that provide comprehensive regional, national and international transportation services. Regional Transportation is comprised of carriers that focus primarily on business opportunities in the

regional and next-day delivery markets. Logistics, previously referred to as our Meridian IQ segment, provides domestic and international freight forwarding, warehousing and cross-dock services, multi-modal brokerage services, and transportation management services.

Information relative to USF Red Star and USF Dugan, previously included in Regional Transportation, has been included in the Corporate segment in 2007 as these entities are no longer operating.

Prior to 2007 we reported four operating segments. In January 2007, we consolidated the management structure of Yellow Transportation and Roadway to form YRC National Transportation. As a result, these two previously separate segments have been combined in 2007. Amounts presented for 2006 have been reclassified to reflect this change.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Accounting Policies note in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. We charge management fees and other corporate services to our segments based on the direct benefits received or as a percentage of revenue. Corporate and other operating losses represent residual operating expenses of the holding company, including compensation and benefits and professional services for all periods presented. Corporate identifiable assets primarily refer to cash, cash equivalents and deferred debt issuance costs. Intersegment revenue relates to transportation services between our segments.

10. Guarantees of the Contingent Convertible Senior Notes

In August 2003, YRC Worldwide issued 5.0% contingent convertible senior notes due 2023. In November 2003, we issued 3.375% contingent convertible senior notes (the August and November issuances, collectively, may also be known as the “contingent convertible senior notes”) due 2023. In December 2004, we completed exchange offers pursuant to which holders of the contingent convertible senior notes could exchange their notes for an equal amount of new net share settled contingent convertible senior notes. Substantially all notes were exchanged as part of the exchange offers. In May 2005, we completed the private placement of $150 million in aggregate principle amount of senior floating rate notes due 2008. In connection with the net share settled contingent convertible senior notes and the floating rate notes, the following 100% owned subsidiaries of YRC Worldwide have issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the net share settled contingent convertible senior notes and floating rate notes: Yellow Transportation, Inc., Mission Supply Company, Yellow Relocation Services, Inc., YRC Worldwide Technologies, Inc., Meridian IQ Inc., MIQ LLC, Globe.com Lines, Inc., Roadway LLC, Roadway Next Day Corporation, Roadway Express, Inc., USF Holland and Regional Transportation. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several.

The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because management does not believe that separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of YRC Worldwide or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

The following represents condensed consolidating financial information as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 with respect to the financial position and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 for results of operations and cash flows of YRC Worldwide and its subsidiaries. The Parent column presents the financial information of YRC Worldwide, the primary obligor of the contingent convertible senior notes and the floating rate notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the net share settled contingent convertible senior notes and the floating rate notes. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries, including those subsidiaries that are governed by foreign laws, Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation, Yellow Receivables Corporation and Roadway Funding, Inc., the special-purpose entities that are or were associated with our ABS agreements.

12. Guarantees of the Senior Notes Due 2009 and 2010

In connection with the senior notes due 2009 and 2010 that YRC Worldwide assumed by virtue of its merger with USF, and in addition to the primary obligor, USF, YRC Worldwide and its following 100% owned subsidiaries have issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the senior notes due 2009 and 2010: USF Sales Corporation, USF Holland Inc., USF Bestway Inc., USF Bestway Leasing Inc., USF Reddaway Inc., USF Glen Moore Inc., Meridian IQ Services Inc. and IMUA Handling Corporation. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several.

The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because management does not believe that such separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of Yellow Roadway or any guarantor subsidiary to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

The following represents condensed consolidating financial information of YRC Worldwide and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 with respect to the financial position and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 for results of operations and cash flows. The primary obligor column presents the financial information of Regional Transportation (formerly USF Corporation). The Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the senior notes due 2009 and 2010 including YRC Worldwide, the holding company. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries, including those subsidiaries that are governed by foreign laws and Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation, Yellow Receivables Corporation and Roadway Funding, Inc., the special-purpose entities that are or were associated with our ABS agreements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”). MD&A and certain statements in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each a “forward-looking statement”). Forward-looking statements include those preceded by, followed by or include the words “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “may,” “expect,” “believe,” or similar expressions. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including (without limitation), inflation, inclement weather, price and availability of fuel, sudden changes in the cost of fuel or the index upon which the Company bases its fuel surcharge, competitor pricing activity, expense volatility, including (without limitation) expense volatility due to changes in rail service or pricing for rail service, ability to capture cost reductions, including (without limitation) those cost reduction opportunities arising from acquisitions, changes in equity and debt markets, a downturn in general or regional economic activity, effects of a terrorist attack, and labor relations, including (without limitation), the impact of work rules, work stoppages, strikes or other disruptions, any obligations to multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans, wage requirements and employee satisfaction.

Results of Operations

Our Results of Operations section focuses on the highlights and significant items that impacted our operating results during the first quarter. We have presented a discussion regarding the operating results of each of our three operating segments: National Transportation, Regional Transportation and Logistics. Prior to 2007, we reported results for four operating segments that included Yellow Transportation and Roadway whose management structures were combined in January 2007 to form National Transportation. The prior year results for Yellow Transportation and Roadway have been combined, including proper eliminations, to present comparative information. Prior year segments also included Regional Transportation, which is unchanged in the current year, and Meridian IQ which is now being referred to as our Logistics segment. Our discussion also identifies the adjustments to operating income that management excludes when internally evaluating segment performance because the items are not related to the segments’ core operations. Please refer to our Business Segments note for further discussion.

Consolidated Results

Our consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 include the results of each of the operating segments discussed below and corporate charges. A more detailed discussion of the operating results of our segments is presented below.

Three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to three months ended March 31, 2006

The table below provides summary consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31:

 

(in millions)

   2007    2006    Percent Change  

Operating revenue

   $ 2,328.3    $ 2,374.2    (1.9 )%

Operating income

     20.4      87.8    (76.8 )%

Nonoperating expenses, net

     18.3      19.8    (7.6 )%

Net income

     1.3      42.1    (96.9 )%
                    

Our consolidated operating revenue decreased slightly during the three months ended March 31, 2007 versus 2006 primarily due to a slower economy in the United States, especially the Upper Midwest, and a challenging operating environment mostly attributed to harsh weather conditions for a significant portion of the quarter. In general, pricing or yield increased modestly while overall volumes were down slightly compared to the comparable prior year quarter.

Consolidated operating revenue includes fuel surcharge revenue. Fuel surcharges are common throughout our industry and represent an amount that we charge to customers that adjusts with changing fuel prices. We base our fuel surcharge on a published national index and adjust it weekly. Rapid material changes in the index or our cost of fuel can positively or negatively impact our revenue and operating income versus prior periods as there is a lag in the Company’s adjustment of base rates in response to changes in fuel surcharge. Fuel surcharge is an accepted and important component of the overall pricing of our services to our customers. Without an industry accepted fuel surcharge program, our base pricing for our transportation services would require changes. We believe the distinction between base rates and fuel surcharge has been blurring over time, and it is impractical to clearly separate all the different factors that influence the price that our customers are willing to pay. In general, under our present fuel surcharge program, we believe rising fuel costs are beneficial to us in the short term.

 

24


Consolidated operating income decreased significantly during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 2006 and is reflective of decreased operating revenue at all of our operating companies, with the largest decline experienced at Regional Transportation. Given its regional concentration, the depressed economy in the Upper Midwest impacted this segment the most. Our consolidated operating income during the first quarter of 2007 was also unfavorably impacted by a $14.5 million charge related to restructuring and reorganization and $2.9 million of losses generated from the sale of property and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we combined USF Reddaway and USF Bestway and after February 12, 2007 no longer market the USF Bestway brand. This combination contributed to approximately $5.5 million of the reorganization and restructuring charges. In addition, as previously discussed, we combined the management structures of Yellow Transportation and Roadway during the first quarter of 2007 which also resulted in certain reorganization charges of approximately $6.1 million, primarily severance. The $14.5 million reorganization charge also included $2.8 million in the Corporate segment of severance and expense associated with the acceleration of vesting of restricted stock units due to certain management separations. This charge is a non-cash item and is included in the “Reorganization charges” line in our consolidated Statement of Operations. These amounts were partially offset by a $13.5 million reduction in depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 versus 2006 resulting from a change in depreciable lives and salvage values effective July 1, 2006.

Nonoperating expenses consist primarily of interest expense which decreased slightly from 2006.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was 39.0% compared to 38.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Variations in the rate could result from our income allocation among subsidiaries and their relative state tax rates, in addition to the tax planning strategies that may be implemented throughout the year.

Adjustments to operating income presented in the segment discussion below represent charges that management excludes when evaluating segment performance to better understand the results of our core operations. With the exception of property disposals, these charges do not occur on a regular basis and can distort our operating results. Management excludes the impact of gains and losses from the disposal of property as it reflects charges not related to the segment’s primary business.

National Transportation Results

National Transportation represented approximately 69% of our consolidated revenue in the first quarters of 2007 and 2006. The table below provides summary financial information for National Transportation for the three months ended March 31:

Three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to three months ended March 31, 2006

National Transportation reported first quarter 2007 operating revenue of $1,608.4 million, representing a decrease of $35.5 million or 2.2% from the first quarter of 2006. The two primary components of operating revenue are volume, comprised of the number of shipments and the weight per shipment, and price, usually evaluated on a per hundred weight basis for less-than-truckload (“LTL”) business. With the same number of workdays in both quarters, the decline in operating revenue was largely driven by a 4.5% decline in total tonnage picked up per day, with truckload tonnage being down more dramatically at 7.3% and LTL tonnage down 3.8%. Both of these tonnage declines are primarily the result of a slowing economy, and we believe the majority of the freight transportation sector has also experienced softening business levels based on reports of tonnage declines. As the economy slowed, capacity became more readily available particularly in the truckload portion of our business and competition for available loads increased. The decline in LTL tonnage was made up of a 2.6% decline in shipments per day and a 1.3% decline in weight per shipment. In addition to the slowing economy, the first quarter of 2007 had more severe weather than 2006, which contributed to the decline in tonnage as customers where unable to ship goods on several days, particularly in February.

 

25


The decline in tonnage was partially offset by a 2.0% increase in LTL revenue per hundred weight. Fuel surcharge revenue was down just slightly from 2006 and was not a major factor in either the change in revenue or revenue per hundred weight.

Operating income for National Transportation decreased by $36.1 million or 52.1% from the first quarter of 2006. Revenue was lower by $35.5 million while total costs increased by $0.6 million. The cost increases consisted of higher salaries, wages and benefits of $9.5 million, higher other operating expenses of $7.4 million and reorganization charges of $6.1 million which were offset by lower operating expenses and supplies of $16.6 million and lower depreciation expense of $10.0 million.

The largest cause of the increase in salaries, wages and benefits was $16.1 million or 2.1% higher hourly wages and benefits, which were the result of annual contractual wage and benefit increases, a higher cost mix of workers and challenging weather conditions, offset by lower business levels which require fewer hours to be worked. The higher cost mix of workers is the result of having fewer new hire employees on union wage progression and also working fewer casual (i.e. supplemental) employees. Both of these employee groups have lower overall costs to the Company than regular full time employees. The lower use of casual employees is a direct result of lower tonnage levels, as these employees normally supplement our regular work force. The weather conditions resulted in lower productivity levels across several work groups than would have otherwise been expected. Workers’ compensation costs were lower by $4.4 million or 13.6% due to less unfavorable development of old claims compared with that experienced in the prior year.

Other operating expenses were higher due to a $4.5 million or 22.3% increase in cargo claims expense and a $2.5 million or 29.2% increase in bodily injury and property damage claims. The cargo claims increase is the result of higher claim frequency, which the Company has addressed by allocating additional resources to ensure a consistent approach to achieving our high standards of quality.

The reorganization charges, primarily severance costs, were a result of the combination of the management structures of Yellow Transportation and Roadway to form National Transportation as previously discussed.

Operating expenses and supplies were lower due to a number of relatively small factors that were all favorable compared to last year, many of which were the result of lower business levels and stringent cost controls put in place during this challenging period of time. The following costs all experienced relatively similar declines of approximately $2-3 million each compared to 2006: vehicle maintenance expenses, travel and employee expenses, miscellaneous operating expenses and supplies, and professional service fees from affiliates as they also had cost reduction programs in place. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2006, Yellow Transportation incurred $3.5 million of costs associated with hosting an industry conference. No such conference was held in 2007, thus resulting in lower costs compared to the prior year. Slightly offsetting these declines were increased costs related to adverse weather in several cost categories.

Depreciation expense was lower primarily because of a change in depreciable lives and salvage values of property and equipment that was made in the third quarter of 2006.

Lower revenue and the slight increase in expenses resulted in an operating ratio of 97.9 for the first quarter of 2007, which is 2.1 percentage points higher than the prior year. Operating ratio refers to a common industry measurement calculated by dividing a company’s operating expenses by its operating revenue.

Regional Transportation reported operating revenue of $575.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, representing a decrease of $16.2 million or 2.7% from the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The decreased operating revenue is due to lower volume and revenue per shipment resulting from a challenging business environment, especially in the upper Midwest, where economic conditions are adversely impacted by the automotive sector. While LTL revenue per hundred weight increased 1.1% in the first quarter 2007 as compared to the first quarter 2006, LTL weight per shipment declined 1.6% and LTL shipments per day declined by 0.9% compared to the first quarter of 2006. Regional Transportation has a fuel surcharge program that is substantially similar to that of the other YRC Worldwide companies.

Regional Transportation reported an operating loss of $5.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $26.4 million over the first quarter of 2006. Decreases in overall revenue of $16.2 million, increased wage and benefit expenses of $7.7 million resulting primarily from union contractual rate increases and adverse weather-related productivity impact, higher claims and insurance costs included in other operating expenses of $2.2 million due mainly to unfavorable development of prior year claims, and higher operating expenses and supplies of $2.5 million contributed to decreased operating income. Offsetting these items were lower purchased transportation expense of $3.6 million and lower depreciation expense of $3.7 million due to the increase in useful lives and salvage values of property and equipment in July 2006.

Results were unfavorably impacted in the first quarter of 2007 by approximately $6.5 million due to restructuring and reorganization charges in connection with the combination of USF Reddaway and USF Bestway and losses on the sale of property. USF Bestway incurred total operating losses of $14.5 million including the restructuring and reorganization charges during the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to a loss of $5.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to three months ended March 31, 2006

In the first quarter of 2007, Logistics operating revenue increased by $10.0 million or 7.1% from the first quarter of 2006. The increase in operating revenue resulted from a combination of stronger business levels in the contract logistics management unit ($3.5 million), new business acquired in the dedicated fleet unit ($2.6 million) as well as new customers in the flow through unit ($5.0 million). These increases as well as other organic growth were offset by lower levels of activity in the global forwarding units, primarily due to the sale of the China forwarding operations into YRC Worldwide’s China joint venture during the third quarter of 2006.

Operating results decreased by $3.5 million from the first quarter 2006. The majority ($2.4 million) of the decrease in performance between the two periods was concentrated in our flow through business unit. This decrease is primarily driven by an influx of new business creating efficiency and productivity problems in isolated locations. Additional decreases in operating income caused by the sale of our China forwarding operations were partially offset by the continued strong performance in the truckload business unit.

Financial Condition

Liquidity

Our liquidity needs arise primarily from funding capital investment in new equipment, land and structures, and information technology, as well as working capital requirements. To provide short-term and longer-term liquidity, we maintain capacity under a $850 million unsecured credit agreement and a $650 million asset backed securitization (“ABS”) agreement involving Yellow Transportation, Roadway, USF Holland and USF Reddaway accounts receivable. The expiration date of the ABS facility is May 24, 2007, at which time we intend and expect to renew the facility for an additional year. We believe these facilities provide adequate capacity to fund our current working capital and capital expenditure requirements.

YRC Assurance Co. Ltd. (“YRC Assurance”) is the Company’s captive insurance company domiciled in Bermuda and a wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary of YRC Worldwide. YRC Assurance provides insurance services to certain wholly owned subsidiaries of YRC Worldwide. As a part of the structure of YRC Assurance, certain qualifying investments are made by YRC Assurance as defined by Bermuda regulations. These investments can include taking an ownership position in certain receivables that secure our ABS facility. As a result, as shown above, our capacity under the ABS facility is reduced by YRC Assurance’s investment in receivables of $189.4 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Contingently Convertible Notes

The balance sheet classification of our contingently convertible notes between short-term and long-term is dependent upon certain conversion triggers, as defined. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the conversion triggers had not been met. Accordingly, based on the stated maturity date, this obligation has been classified as a long-term liability on the accompanying balance sheets.

Cash Flow Measurements

We use free cash flow as a measurement to manage working capital and capital expenditures. Free cash flow indicates cash available to fund additional capital expenditures, to reduce outstanding debt (including current maturities) or to invest in our growth strategies. This measurement is used for internal management purposes and should not be construed as a better measurement than net cash from operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. The following table illustrates our calculation for determining free cash flow for the three months ended March 31:

 

(in millions)

   2007     2006  

Net cash from operating activities

   $ 123.0     $ 0.7  

Net property and equipment additions

     (125.6 )     (109.4 )

Proceeds from exercise of stock options

     6.0       2.0  
                

Free cash flow

   $ 3.4     $ (106.7 )
                

Operating cash flows increased significantly during the three months ended March 31, 2007 versus 2006 due to differences in cash flows related to tax items including a $55 million tax payment in March 2006 versus a $50 million tax refund in March 2007. In addition, the 2007 period includes incentive compensation payments of $13.2 million compared to $58.6 million during 2006.

Net property and equipment additions were $16.2 million greater in 2007 versus 2006 due to the timing of new equipment deliveries. Our planned total capital expenditures for 2007 have been reduced from our original projection to $375-400 million in response to better asset utilization targets and expected volumes.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $34.0 million in 2007 versus $89.0 million in 2006. The decrease is due to a reduction in borrowings during the first quarter of 2007 of $59.0 million primarily related to the $55.0 million tax payment in 2006. The tax refund received in the first quarter of 2007 was not received until March 30, 2007 and thus was unavailable to reduce our borrowings until April 2007. Proceeds from stock options increased in 2007 versus 2006.

 

29


We currently use cash generated from operations to fund capital expenditures, repay debt and fund working capital requirements. We expect that future cash requirements will generally be the same.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to a variety of market risks, including the effects of interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates and fuel prices.

Risk from Interest Rates and Equity Prices

To provide adequate funding through seasonal business cycles and minimize overall borrowing costs, we have historically utilized both fixed rate and variable rate financial instruments with varying maturities. At March 31, 2007, we had approximately 69% of our outstanding debt at fixed rates. If interest rates for our variable rate long-term debt had averaged 10% more during the period, our interest expense would have increased, and income before taxes would have decreased by $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

The table below provides information regarding our interest rate risk related to fixed-rate debt as of March 31, 2007. Principal cash flows are stated in millions and weighted average interest rates are by contractual maturity. The fair values of our Roadway senior notes, USF senior notes and contingent convertible senior notes have been calculated based on the quoted market prices at March 31, 2007. The market price for the contingent convertible senior notes reflects the combination of debt and equity components of the convertible instrument.

 

(in millions)

   2007    2008     2009     2010     2011    Thereafter     Total    Fair Value

Fixed-rate debt

   $ —      $ 227.5     $ 101.0     $ 156.0     $ —      $ 400.0     $ 884.5    $ 1,010.8

Average interest rate

     —        8.22 %     6.50 %     8.41 %     —        4.39 %     

Foreign Exchange Rates

Revenue, operating expenses, assets and liabilities of our Canadian, Mexican, Asian and United Kingdom subsidiaries are denominated in local currencies, thereby creating exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. The risks related to foreign currency exchange rates are not material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations. On December 31, 2006, we entered into a foreign currency hedge with a notional amount of approximately $6.8 million and a maturity of June 30, 2007. This instrument is to effectively hedge our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations on certain intercompany debt with GPS Logistics (EU) Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary.

Fuel Price Volatility

National Transportation and Regional Transportation currently have effective fuel surcharge programs in place. As discussed previously, these programs are well established within the industry and customer acceptance of fuel surcharges remains high. Since the amount of fuel surcharge is based on average, national diesel fuel prices and is reset weekly, our exposure to fuel price volatility is significantly reduced.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain a rigorous set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our principal executive and financial officers have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and have determined that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
