Record Quarterly Revenue, Operating Income and Net Income Demonstrate ArcBest’s Success Driving Growth and Value Creation

Strategic Growth Initiatives Solidify ArcBest’s Position as a Logistics Leader and Partner of Choice

  • Second quarter 2022 revenue of $1.4 billion increased 46.8 percent over second quarter 2021.
  • Net income improved to $102.5 million, or $4.00 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter 2022 net income was $110.0 million, or $4.30 per diluted share.
  • Innovation investments contributed to revenue growth and improved profitability.

 

FORT SMITH, Arkansas, July 29, 2022 — ArcBest® (Nasdaq: ARCB), a leader in supply chain logistics, today reported second quarter 2022 revenue of $1.4 billion, an increase of $444.0 million compared to second quarter 2021. Each operating segment achieved at least double-digit percentage revenue growth over the prior year period. Second quarter 2022 results include the impact of the acquisition of MoLo Solutions, LLC (“MoLo”), which was completed in November 2021.

ArcBest’s second quarter 2022 operating income was $137.3 million and net income was $102.5 million, or $4.00 per diluted share, compared to operating income of $74.3 million and net income of $61.0 million, or $2.27 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. The recent quarter’s revenue, operating income and net income totals were the highest of any quarter in ArcBest’s history. 

Excluding certain items in both periods as identified in the attached reconciliation tables, second quarter non-GAAP operating income was $150.5 million, compared to $76.8 million in the prior-year period. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $110.0 million, or $4.30 per diluted share, compared to $54.6 million, or $2.03 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021.

“ArcBest’s talented and dedicated team has been successfully executing our strategy, delivering strong financial results and driving value-enhancing growth for the benefit of our shareholders, customers and other stakeholders. The second quarter of 2022 was no exception, as we achieved 47% revenue growth due to increasing demand for our broad offering of transportation and logistics services,” said Judy R. McReynolds, ArcBest chairman, president and CEO. “As our customers’ supply chains become even more complex and economic pressures increase, our strategic focus on technology, innovation and the development of our people positions us to thrive in all environments. By advancing our strategic plan and investing capital back into the business, we continue to differentiate ArcBest and position our company as a logistics leader, our customers' partner of choice, and a consistent generator of superior value for investors.”

Second Quarter Results of Operations Comparisons

Asset-Based

Second Quarter 2022 Versus Second Quarter 2021

  • Revenue of $802.6 million compared to $652.8 million, a per-day increase of 22.9 percent.
  • Total tonnage per day increase of 3.7 percent, including an increase of 0.9 percent in LTL-rated weight per shipment.
  • Total shipments per day increased 2.0 percent.
  • Total billed revenue per hundredweight increased 17.7 percent and was positively impacted by higher fuel surcharges. Revenue per hundredweight on LTL-rated business, excluding fuel surcharge, improved by a percentage in the double digits.
  • Operating income of $116.7 million and an operating ratio of 85.5 percent compared to operating income of $63.9 million and an operating ratio of 90.2 percent. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income of $124.6 million and an operating ratio of 84.5 percent compared to operating income of $71.4 million and an operating ratio of 89.0 percent.

ArcBest’s Asset-Based business delivered strong revenue growth in the second quarter versus the prior year period due in part to a healthy pricing environment, higher fuel surcharges and an increase in ABF Freight’s average weight per shipment. Customer demand drove increases in this year’s freight shipments and tonnage resulting in growth compared to strong, double-digit percent increases in second quarter 2021. Strength in base freight rate pricing continued during the quarter reflecting the value of the logistics solutions ArcBest offers its customers during an ongoing period of supply chain volatility. ArcBest achieved higher second quarter profitability using optimization tools and improved freight data, maintaining more consistent day-to-day business levels while optimizing revenue and managing costs. Hiring initiatives continued at specific service center locations throughout the ABF Freight network and contributed to a net increase in employees.

Asset-Light

Second Quarter 2022 Versus Second Quarter 2021 (including the results of MoLo)

  • Revenue of $631.8 million compared to $330.3 million, a per-day increase of 91.3 percent.
  • Operating income of $29.1 million compared to $16.3 million. Prior year operating income included a $6.9 million gain on the sale of the labor services portion of the Asset-Light moving business. On a non‑GAAP basis, operating income of $31.9 million compared to $10.3 million.
  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) of $34.6 million compared to $12.1 million, as detailed in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables.

 

Higher market rates combined with continued customer demand for our services resulted in strong second quarter revenue growth and another quarter of record profitability in the ArcBest Asset-Light segment. Enhanced revenue and shipment totals versus the same period last year reflect the positive impact of additional truckload brokerage business from MoLo, for which the integration is on schedule. The broad range of ArcBest Asset-Light services offered through managed transportation, dedicated, expedite and international continue to be a great benefit to customers.  Each service positively contributed to improved Asset-Light profitability compared to the prior-year period as operating leverage increased due to the revenue growth of the business.

At FleetNet, revenue growth and improved profitability resulted from increases in both total events and revenue per event.

NOTE

 ‡ - The ArcBest and FleetNet reportable segments, combined, represent Asset-Light operations.

RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios utilized for internal analysis provide analysts, investors, and others the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance and provides meaningful comparisons between current and prior period results, as well as important information regarding performance trends. The use of certain non-GAAP measures improves comparability in analyzing our performance because it removes the impact of items from operating results that, in management's opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently; therefore, our calculation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Certain information discussed in the scheduled conference call could be considered non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results. These financial measures should not be construed as better measurements than operating income, operating cash flow, net income or earnings per share, as determined under GAAP.

  1. Represents costs associated with the freight handling pilot test program at ABF Freight and initiatives to optimize our performance through technological innovation, including costs related to our investment in human-centered remote operation software.
  2. Represents the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to the November 1, 2021 acquisition of MoLo and previously acquired businesses in the ArcBest segment.
  3. Represents change in fair value of the contingent consideration recorded for the MoLo acquisition. The liability for contingent consideration is remeasured at each quarterly reporting date, and any change in fair value as a result of the recurring assessments is recognized in operating income. As previously disclosed, contingent consideration for the MoLo acquisition will be paid based on achievement of certain targets of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as adjusted for certain items pursuant to the merger agreement, for years 2023 through 2025.
  4. Gain relates to the sale of the labor services portion of the ArcBest segment’s moving business in May 2021, including the contingent amount recognized in second quarter 2022 when the funds were released from escrow.
  5. Represents recognition of the tax impact for the vesting of share-based compensation.
  6. Non-GAAP EPS is calculated in total and may not foot due to rounding.

  1. Represents costs associated with the freight handling pilot test program at ABF Freight and initiatives to optimize our performance through technological innovation, including costs related to our investment in human-centered remote operation software.
  2. Represents the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to the November 1, 2021 acquisition of MoLo and previously acquired businesses in the ArcBest segment.
  3. Represents change in fair value of the contingent consideration recorded for the MoLo acquisition, as previously described in the footnotes to the ArcBest Corporation – Consolidated non-GAAP table.
  4. Gain relates to the sale of the labor services portion of the ArcBest segment’s moving business in May 2021, including the contingent amount recognized in second quarter 2022 when the funds were released from escrow.
  5. Represents recognition of the tax impact for the vesting of share-based compensation.
  6. Tax rate for total “Amounts on GAAP basis” represents the effective tax rate. The tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated based on the statutory rate applicable to each item based on tax jurisdiction, unless the nature of the item requires the tax effect to be estimated by applying a specific tax treatment.

 

 

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of performance and for business planning. The measure is particularly meaningful for analysis of operating performance because it excludes amortization of acquired intangibles and software of the Asset-Light businesses and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, which are significant expenses resulting from strategic decisions rather than core daily operations. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a primary component of the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement. The calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as presented below begins with net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The calculation of Asset-Light Adjusted EBITDA as presented below begins with operating income, as other income (costs), income taxes, and net income are reported at the consolidated level and not included in the operating segment financial information evaluated by management to make operating decisions.
