TONTITOWN, AR / ACCESSWIRE / July 28, 2022 / P.A.M. Transportation Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTSI) ("we" or the "Company") today reported consolidated net income of $24.2 million, or diluted earnings per share of $1.08 ($1.09 basic), for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. These results compare to consolidated net income of $15.3 million, or diluted and basic earnings per share of $0.67, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, includes the negative impacts of both a loss estimate associated with a preliminary litigation settlement agreement and losses recognized but unrealized on our investments in marketable equity securities. Excluding the impact of these items, adjusted (non-GAAP) net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, was $29.3 million, or adjusted (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share of $1.30.

Consolidated operating revenues increased 47.1% to $237.2 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $161.2 million for the second quarter of 2021.

Joe Vitiritto, President of the Company, commented, "There continued to be significant disruptions in the quarter from customer down time, supplier parts/labor challenges and the well-publicized changes to the overall trucking freight market. Even with those challenges, our people did a solid job of navigating through the quarter. We continue to demonstrate the resiliency of our model, while growing the business organically. We are also excited by our first acquisition in almost two decades. We are looking forward to working with the high-quality team at Met Express and watching that team exceed expectations. I am proud of our Driving Associates and how big of an impact they have had in shaping our continued success. Our team has been laser-focused on continually improving and growing, and that showed again in our second quarter results. In my almost two years at PAM, we have improved significantly while growing, and I know our Driving Associates and Office Associates are always pressing for us to continuously improve in all areas of our business."

Recent Business Acquisition

On June 14, 2022, newly formed subsidiaries of the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Metropolitan Trucking, Inc., and its related entities. These operating results beginning June 14, 2022 are included within the Company's consolidated operating results. On the acquisition date, Metropolitan was a 320-truck dry van truckload carrier headquartered near New York City, New York, with the east coast serving as its primary operating territory. Metropolitan generated approximately $83.3 million in total revenue ($75.3 million excluding fuel surcharge), and $13.5 million in operating income for the previous twelve months ending March 31, 2022. The enterprise value at closing was approximately $77.4 million, valued on a cash-free, debt-free basis and subject to a customary working capital adjustment. The purchase price paid at closing included approximately $15.5 million in assumed liabilities and debt and $64.3 million paid using available cash balances.

Liquidity, Capitalization, and Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2022, we had an aggregate of $113.8 million of cash, marketable equity securities, and available liquidity under our line of credit and $261.6 million of stockholders' equity. Outstanding debt was $249.3 million as of June 30, 2022, including the acquisition-related debt assumed.

During the first half of 2022, we generated $74.9 million in operating cash flow while net capital expenditures, excluding assets associated with the acquisition, resulted in a cash outflow of $15.5 million.

Equipment

Through the first half of 2022, we have only received 30% of our 2022 equipment order but anticipate that the remaining equipment deliveries will be made prior to the end of the year. Our fleet growth experienced during the first half of the year, combined with equipment delivery delays, has required us to keep some of our current equipment longer than originally expected. These factors have resulted in an increase in our average fleet age; however, due to the relatively new age of our equipment fleet and remaining unexpired warranty coverage for most of our equipment, we do not expect to incur significant additional maintenance costs related to delays. The average ages of our truck and trailer fleets were 2.1 years and 6.2 years, respectively, at the end of the second quarter of 2022, compared to 1.8 years and 5.5 years, respectively, at the end of 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release also includes non-GAAP financial measures termed adjusted operating income, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. The Company defines adjusted operating income, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share as GAAP operating income, GAAP operating ratio, GAAP net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share, respectively, excluding certain significant items, such as certain litigation-related charges and unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities, and any tax impact associated with such items. Management believes that reporting adjusted operating income, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share more clearly reflects the Company's current operating results and provides investors with a better understanding of the Company's overall financial performance. Management also believes that adjusted operating ratio is more representative of our operations when excluding the volatility of fuel prices, which we cannot control. In addition, the adjusted results, although not a financial measure under GAAP, may facilitate the ability to analyze the Company's financial results in relation to those of its competitors and to the Company's prior financial performance by excluding items which otherwise would distort the comparison. However, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of adjusted results may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are not recognized terms under GAAP, do not purport to be alternatives to, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, operating income, operating ratio, net income and diluted earnings per share, respectively, as defined under GAAP.

Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a tabular reconciliation of GAAP operating income to adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio, GAAP net income to adjusted net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share to adjusted diluted earnings per share in this press release.

  1. The Truckload Operations operating ratio has been calculated based upon total operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge, as a percentage of revenue, before fuel surcharge. We used revenue, before fuel surcharge, and operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge, because we believe that eliminating this sometimes volatile source of revenue affords a more consistent basis for comparing our results of operations from period to period.
  2. The tax benefit is calculated using the effective tax rates for each respective period prior to any adjustments for non-GAAP amounts.
