Marty Freeman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Dominion, commented, “Old Dominion’s second quarter financial results reflect continued softness in the domestic economy. The resulting weakness in volumes contributed to the 15.2% decrease in our total revenue. Our team effectively managed our variable costs during the quarter while also delivering superior service, which supported our ongoing yield-management initiatives. The combination of these efforts allowed us to produce a 72.3% operating ratio and earnings per diluted share of $2.65.

“The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the 14.1% decrease in LTL tons per day and 1.1% decrease in LTL revenue per hundredweight. This yield metric was impacted by the significant decrease in the price of diesel fuel, as our LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 7.6% during the quarter. We remain focused on consistently increasing our yield to offset cost inflation and support our ongoing investments in capacity. Our ability to consistently offer network capacity is a key component of our value proposition. We believe this differentiates us from others in our industry and will continue to support our long-term market share initiatives.

“Our operating ratio increased 280 basis points to 72.3% for the second quarter of 2023. This change was primarily due to the increase in overhead costs as a percent of revenue, as our direct operating costs remained consistent as a percent of revenue between the periods compared. The increase in our overhead cost categories was primarily due to the deleveraging effect associated with the decrease in our revenue. In addition, our aggregate depreciation expenses increased due to the ongoing execution of our capital expenditure plan.”

Cash Flow and Use of Capital

Old Dominion’s net cash provided by operating activities was $287.8 million for the second quarter of 2023 and $703.2 million for the first half of the year. The Company had $55.1 million in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2023.

Capital expenditures were $244.7 million for the second quarter of 2023 and $479.4 million for the first half of the year. The Company expects its aggregate capital expenditures for 2023 to total approximately $700 million, including planned expenditures of $260 million for real estate and service center expansion projects; $365 million for tractors and trailers; and $75 million for information technology and other assets.

Old Dominion continued to return capital to shareholders during the second quarter of 2023 through its share repurchase and dividend programs. For the first six months of this year, the cash utilized for shareholder return programs included $302.2 million of share repurchases and $87.8 million of cash dividends.

Share Repurchase Authorization

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program that authorizes Old Dominion to repurchase up to $3.0 billion of its outstanding stock. This new repurchase program will begin after the completion of the Company’s existing $2.0 billion repurchase program, which had $376.9 million remaining available and uncommitted at June 30, 2023. Share repurchases may be effected in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, including through repurchase plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 and accelerated share repurchase transactions. The new and existing share repurchase programs do not have an expiration date. While the Company intends to return excess capital to its shareholders through its share repurchase and dividend programs, the priority for capital spending will continue to be strategic investments in capital expenditures to support the long-term profitable growth of its business.

Summary

Mr. Freeman concluded, “The OD Family of employees continued to execute our long-term strategic plan during the second quarter, and we believe our financial results prove the power of our business model. Our team continued to deliver superior service at a fair price and, as a result, our market share has remained relatively consistent in an environment where overall freight demand was subdued. We will continue to execute on the same business strategies that have guided us for many years, and throughout many economic cycles, to be prepared for the eventual inflection in the demand environment. We are confident in our long-term market share opportunities and believe that our service and capacity advantages in the marketplace will allow us to capitalize on future revenue growth opportunities.”
