U.S. Xpress Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: USX) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2022.

First Quarter 2022 Highlights Compared to First Quarter 2021

  • Operating revenue of $517.2 million compared to $450.8 million
  • Operating loss of $0.2 million compared to operating income of $8.0 million
  • Adjusted operating income1 of $2.8 million compared to $8.0 million
  • Loss per diluted share of $0.17 compared to earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.05
  • Adjusted loss per diluted share1 of $0.02 compared to adjusted EPS of $0.05

“During the first quarter we made progress improving Variant’s key metrics, which contributed to sequential operating margin improvement despite the seasonally slower first quarter. Last quarter, we identified improving Variant’s key metrics and overall fleet growth as keys to sequential improvement through 2022,” said Eric Fuller, President and CEO. “During the quarter, we were successful in sequentially growing Variant’s fleet 9% and improving Variant’s revenue productivity by $325 per tractor per week with mixed results in Variant’s other key metrics. In addition, our Dedicated division increased revenue per tractor per week by approximately $555, which also contributed to the sequential operating margin improvement in the first quarter. I am proud of our team for the tremendous progress made in just one quarter, and I am confident that we can execute on the large opportunity ahead of us, much of which we believe is under our control.”

1 Non-cash adjustments in the quarter included a mark to market adjustment of $8.4 million related to a strategic investment and a $3.0 million write-off of obsolete technology partially offset by a $1.3 million gain on the sale of a former wholly owned subsidiary. See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation in the schedules accompanying this release.

Operating revenue was $517.2 million, an increase of $66.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2021. The increase was a combination of increased revenue in the Company’s Truckload segment of $34.6 million, an increase of $19.7 million in fuel surcharge revenue and a $12.1 million increase in Brokerage segment revenue. Excluding the impact of fuel surcharge revenues, first quarter revenue increased $46.7 million to $464.3 million, an increase of 11.2% as compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2022 was $0.2 million, which compares to operating income of $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating income1 was $2.8 million and excludes a $3.0 million non-cash impairment charge, as compared to adjusted operating income of $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Net loss attributable to controlling interest for the first quarter of 2022 was $8.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to controlling interest of $2.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted net loss attributable to controlling interest1, which excludes an $8.4 million non-cash mark to market adjustment of a strategic investment, a $3.0 million non-cash impairment charge, and a $1.3 million gain on the sale of a former wholly owned subsidiary, was $1.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income attributable to controlling interest of $2.5 million, or earnings per diluted share of $0.05, in the first quarter of 2021.

Variant Update

The Company continues to grow its Variant over-the-road (OTR) fleet, exiting the quarter with 1,691 tractors comprising half of the overall OTR division. In the first quarter, Variant generated revenue of $83.5 million, net of fuel, a 111.7% increase over the same period of the prior year. The increase in revenue was primarily due to a 97.4% increase in seated tractors in the fleet combined with a 23.0% increase in average revenue per mile.

Mr. Fuller commented, “During the first quarter, we started to address the challenges that caused Variant’s operating metrics to deteriorate in the second half of last year. We made progress in the quarter as evidenced by our sequential improvements in revenue productivity and fleet growth; however, our turnover did not improve in the quarter. We have workstreams in place designed to continue improving utilization that we believe will positively impact turnover in the coming quarters. In the month of April, we saw incremental improvement in both our turnover and safety metrics compared to the first quarter.

Looking to the balance of the year, we remain focused on improving Variant’s key metrics as we scale the division. We continue to expect improved results on a sequential basis as we work through the transformation underway at Variant and remain confident about Variant’s business model.”

1 Excluding fuel surcharge revenues

The Truckload segment generated revenue, excluding the impact of our fuel surcharge program, of $370.4 million compared to $335.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase in Truckload segment revenue was due in part to a 17.4% increase in average revenue per mile combined with an increase in average tractors in the quarter of 144 which was partially offset by an 8.5% decrease in revenue miles per tractor.

Truckload operating income was $0.3 million compared to $6.7 million in the same quarter of the prior year. On an adjusted basis1, Truckload adjusted operating income was $2.5 million compared to $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Brokerage segment revenue grew 14.8% to $93.9 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $81.8 million in the same period of 2021. The increase in revenue was driven by a 15.0% increase in revenue per load partially offset by a 0.2% reduction in load count compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Segment operating loss was $0.5 million compared to operating income of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Allocation

At the end of the first quarter of 2022, the Company had $157.6 million of liquidity (defined as cash plus availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility), $408.1 million of net debt (defined as long-term debt, including current maturities, less cash balances), and $269.4 million of stockholders’ equity.

Capital expenditures, net of proceeds, which relate primarily to tractors and trailers were $39.3 million for the first quarter of 2022, and exclude equipment financed under operating leases.

Outlook

The Company does not expect as favorable of a market backdrop in the coming quarters as it has experienced in previous quarters but will remain focused on improving operational metrics which are within its control.

Mr. Fuller commented, “I am pleased with our progress in the first quarter. However, looking ahead to the second quarter, we expect broader inflationary pressures to continue, which makes it critical to continue improving Variant’s key metrics especially utilization and turnover. Sequential improvement in Variant's key metrics combined with overall fleet growth are key to improving our fixed cost coverage and demonstrating the operating leverage potential of our model.

“During the month of April, we saw Variant’s turnover decline compared to the first quarter as well as improvement in Variant’s safety statistics. Further progress on our remediation efforts will be apparent in Variant’s key metrics as well as continued sequential overall fleet growth.”

Supplemental Financial Information

Additional information regarding the Company’s 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.
