ArcBest® Announces Third Quarter 2017 Results
- Third quarter 2017 revenue of $744.3 million, and net income of $14.8 million, or $0.56 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, third quarter 2017 net income of $15.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted share.
- Increased revenue and profit in Asset-Based services positively impacted by improved pricing
- Third quarter Asset-Light revenue increase and operating income improvement impacted by positive Expedite trends
FORT SMITH, Arkansas, November 3, 2017 — ArcBest® (Nasdaq: ARCB) today reported third quarter 2017 revenue of $744.3 million compared to third quarter 2016 revenue of $713.9 million. Third quarter 2017 operating income was $24.3 million compared to operating income of $20.4 million last year. Net income of $14.8 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to third quarter 2016 net income of $12.9 million, or $0.49 per diluted share.
Excluding certain items in both periods as identified in the attached reconciliation tables, non-GAAP net income was $15.5 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in third quarter 2017 compared to third quarter 2016 net income of $12.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income was $27.0 million in third quarter 2017 compared to third quarter 2016 operating income of $21.7 million. Cost controls resulting from the enhanced market approach implemented at the beginning of the year continue to be in-line with expectations.
“Our enhanced market approach, tighter capacity and a generally favorable pricing environment all contributed to improved third quarter results,” said ArcBest Chairman, President and CEO Judy R. McReynolds. “Our expedited business was particularly strong, and on the asset-based side, we continue to make progress on the implementation of our space-based pricing initiative, which took effect August 1. While we experienced some negative effects in our asset-based business from hurricanes in the southern U.S. and Puerto Rico, customers seeking total logistics solutions and guaranteed capacity are increasingly looking to ArcBest to fulfill their supply chain needs.”
Asset-Based
Results of Operations
Third Quarter 2017 Versus Third Quarter 2016
- Revenue of $517.4 million compared to $509.0 million, a per-day increase of 4.1 percent.
- Tonnage per day decrease of 3.0 percent.
- Shipments per day decrease 1.4 percent.
- Total billed revenue per hundredweight increased 6.6 percent that was positively impacted by changes in shipment profile and higher fuel surcharges. Excluding fuel surcharge, the percentage increase on ArcBest’s Asset-Based LTL freight was in the mid-single digits.
- Operating income of $21.8 million and an operating ratio of 95.8 percent compared to operating income of $18.1 million and an operating ratio of 96.5 percent. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income of $23.5 million and an operating ratio of 95.5 percent compared to operating income of $18.6 million and an operating ratio of 96.4 percent.
In the midst of a solid LTL pricing environment, yield management actions implemented throughout 2017, including this quarter’s space-based pricing initiative, resulted in higher revenue per hundredweight and improved revenue per shipment. Though freight tonnage was lower, primarily due to purposeful reductions in asset-based truckload-rated shipments, monthly total weight per shipment trends improved throughout the quarter and LTL weight per shipment increased slightly. In addition, one and a half fewer working days in the quarter impacted operating results and comparisons to previous periods. On the expense side, costs were reduced in a number of areas through cost management efforts including lower linehaul costs influenced by our optimization technologies and reductions in purchased transportation. However, these cost reductions were offset by reduced pickup and delivery productivity, higher rental costs and increased health, welfare and pension expenses for union employees.
Asset-Light‡
Results of Operations
Third Quarter 2017 Versus Third Quarter 2016
- Revenue of $235.3 million compared to $210.1 million.
- Operating income of $8.5 million compared to operating income of $6.4 million. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income of $8.7 million compared to $6.4 million.
- Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) of $11.8 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $10.3 million.
The increase in ArcBest’s Asset-Light revenue and operating income was driven by solid growth in expedite services and year-over-year business increases associated with the early September 2016 acquisition of a dedicated truckload company. Combined with a slight increase in average daily expedite shipments, the increase in expedite revenue was the result of significant growth in average shipment revenue associated with positive changes in equipment mix and longer average length of haul. Truckload revenue improved slightly as a result of increased revenue per shipment despite lower shipment counts. Truckload net revenue margins were below the same period last year due to the challenges of implementing customer rate increases in line with rising purchased transportation costs associated with tighter capacity in the truckload marketplace. Despite a reduction in total events associated with changes in customer mix, FleetNet’s third quarter revenue and operating income improved as a result of focused cost controls and labor reductions.
Closing Comments
“As a logistics company with diverse, reliable and unique capacity options, ArcBest strives to offer a best-in-class experience for all of our supply chain solutions,” said McReynolds. “The initiatives we have embarked on this year to optimize our structure and offer most services under the ArcBest brand have positioned us well as we are winning more business from existing customers and creating new relationships that were previously outside our reach. At the same time, we have worked hard to manage costs and ensure that the value we provide for our services is appropriately compensated.”

Financial Data and Operating Statistics
The following tables show financial data and operating statistics on ArcBest® and its reportable segments.
Restructuring and Operating Segment Restatements and Reclassifications. Certain restatements have been made to the prior year’s operating segment data to conform to the current year presentation, reflecting the realignment of the Company’s organizational structure as announced on November 3, 2016. Under the new structure, the segments previously reported as Premium Logistics (Panther), Transportation Management (ABF Logistics), and Household Goods Moving Services (ABF Moving) are consolidated as a single asset-light logistics operation under ArcBest. Segment revenues and expenses were adjusted to eliminate certain intercompany charges consistent with the manner in which they are reported under the new corporate structure. Certain intercompany charges among the previously reported Panther, ABF Logistics, and ABF Moving segments which were previously eliminated in the “Other and eliminations” line, are now eliminated within the ArcBest segment. There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated revenues, operating expenses, operating income or earnings per share as a result of the restatements. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company modified the presentation of segment expenses allocated from shared services. Previously, expenses allocated from company-wide functions were categorized in individual segment expense line items by type of expense. Allocated expense is now presented on a single “Shared services” line within the Company’s operating segment disclosures. Reclassifications have been made to the prior period operating segment expenses to conform to the current year presentation. There was no impact on each segment’s total expenses as a result of the reclassifications.

- The 2017 period includes the operations of Logistics & Distribution Services, LLC (“LDS”), which was acquired in September 2016.
- The presentation of segment expenses allocated from shared services was modified during third quarter 2017 and reclassifications have been made to the prior period operating segment expenses to conform to the current year presentation. (See the Restructuring and Operating Segment Restatements and Reclassifications note preceding the tables presented in this release.)
- Consolidated and segment operating results for all periods presented were impacted by nonunion pension expense, including settlement. (See ArcBest Corporation - Consolidated and Segment Operating Income Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables.)
- Restructuring charges relate to the realignment of the Company’s organizational structure.
- Depreciation and amortization consists primarily of amortization of intangibles, including customer relationships, and software associated with acquired businesses.
- “Other” corporate costs include $0.6 million and $1.6 million of restructuring charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. (See Segment Operating Income Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures table.) Other corporate costs also include additional investments to provide an improved platform for revenue growth and for offering ArcBest services across multiple operating segments.
ARCBEST CORPORATION
RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures. We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios, such as Adjusted EBITDA, 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. Accordingly, using these 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. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of performance and for business planning. The measure is particularly meaningful for analysis of the Asset-Light businesses, because they exclude amortization of acquired intangibles and software, 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 Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently; therefore, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA 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.

- Restructuring charges relate to the realignment of the Company’s organizational structure.
- Nonunion pension expense is presented as a non-GAAP adjustment with pension settlement expense, for all periods presented, because expenses related to the plan have been excluded from the financial information management uses to make operating decisions, as the ArcBest Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing the execution of an amendment to terminate the nonunion defined benefit pension plan with a proposed termination date of December 31, 2017. Plan participants will have an election window in which they can choose any form of payment allowed by the Plan for immediate commencement of payment or defer payment until a later date with pension settlements related to the plan termination likely to occur in the second half of 2018.
- The Company recognized the tax impact for the vesting of share-based compensation resulting in excess tax expense during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and excess tax benefit during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
- Transaction costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are associated with the September 2, 2016 acquisition of Logistics & Distribution Services, LLC.

- Restructuring charges relate to the realignment of the Company’s organizational structure.
- Nonunion pension expense is presented as a non-GAAP adjustment with pension settlement expense, for all periods presented, because expenses related to the plan have been excluded from the financial information management uses to make operating decisions, as the ArcBest Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing the execution of an amendment to terminate the nonunion defined benefit pension plan with a proposed termination date of December 31, 2017.
- Transaction costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are associated with the September 2, 2016 acquisition of Logistics & Distribution Services, LLC.
