Schneider National, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results

  • Operating Revenues $1.4 billion; $1.0 billion in 2020
  • Income from Operations $125.8 million; $63.4 million in 2020
  • Diluted Earnings Per Share $0.60; $0.26 in 2020
  • Updated full year Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share guidance to $1.85 - $1.95

Schneider National, Inc. (NYSE: SNDR, “Schneider” or the “Company”), a leading transportation and logistics services company, today announced results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

“In the second quarter, we continued to utilize our diverse portfolio to capitalize upon opportunities presented by challenging market conditions,” said Mark Rourke, Chief Executive Officer and President of Schneider. “Our asset-light segments accounted for 60% of revenues in the quarter, demonstrating the integration of our scaled, multimodal service offerings. Our Truckload segment operating ratio improved 700 basis points from the first quarter of 2021 to 84.5% despite the protracted driver capacity challenges. Our Intermodal segment grew both orders and revenue per order sequentially which contributed to nearly a 500 basis point sequential improvement in operating ratio. Our Logistics segment achieved record revenue and more than 100% earnings growth year over year, supported by constructive market conditions and further leverage of Schneider FreightPower®.”

“We continue to find solutions to serve our customers’ freight needs through our balanced enterprise platform,” Rourke continued. “We remain well-positioned to drive growth and deliver shareholder value through the remainder of this year and into 2022.”

Enterprise Results

Enterprise net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $106.5 million, an increase of $60.0 million, or 129%, compared to the same quarter in 2020. Second quarter 2021 net income includes a $20.2 million pre-tax gain related to the Company’s prior investment in TuSimple, a global self-driving technology company, who completed their initial public offering in April 2021.

Enterprise diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2021 was $0.60, compared to $0.26 in the same quarter a year ago. The Company’s TuSimple investment cited above contributed $0.08 to earnings per share in the second quarter of 2021.

Results of Operations – Reportable Segments

Truckload

Truckload revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) for the second quarter of 2021 were $475.2 million, an increase of $24.1 million, or 5%, compared to the same quarter in 2020, primarily due to effective yield management, including spot, contract, and premium freight opportunities, partially offset by reduced volume driven by lower network driver capacity. Truckload revenue per truck per week was $3,985, a sequential improvement of 8% compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Truckload income from operations was $73.6 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $33.1 million, or 82%, compared to the same quarter in 2020. Yield management actions and $13.7 million of equipment gains during the second quarter more than offset the earnings impact of lower network driver capacity and higher driver-related costs. Truckload segment operating ratio was 84.5% in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 91.5% in the first quarter of 2021 and 91.0% in the second quarter of 2020.

Intermodal

Intermodal revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) for the second quarter of 2021 were $274.0 million, an increase of $55.0 million, or 25%, compared to the same quarter in 2020 due to yield management and volume growth primarily in the Eastern rail network. Orders grew 16% compared to the same quarter in 2020 despite container fluidity issues due to extended customer dwell times and rail network disruptions. Revenue per order of $2,399 was 12% higher than the same quarter a year ago.

Intermodal income from operations for the second quarter of 2021 was $34.9 million, an increase of $23.9 million, or 217%, compared to the same quarter in 2020 driven by the factors affecting revenue discussed above, partially offset by higher rail and third-party dray costs. Intermodal operating ratio was 87.3% in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 92.2% in the first quarter of the 2021 and 95.0% in the second quarter of 2020.

Logistics

Logistics revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) for the second quarter of 2021 were $430.7 million, an increase of $199.8 million, or 87%, compared to the same quarter in 2020 due to constructive market conditions and further leverage of Schneider FreightPower®.

Logistics income from operations for the second quarter of 2021 was $17.0 million, an increase of $8.8 million, or 107%, compared to the same quarter in 2020, primarily due to increased net revenue per order and volume growth. Logistics operating ratio was 96.1% in the second quarter of 2021, and 96.4% in the second quarter of 2020.

Business Outlook

“We anticipate the excess demand condition to continue through the remainder of the year,” Rourke commented. “Based on our second quarter results and other market expectations, our updated full year adjusted diluted earnings per share forecast is $1.85 - $1.95, up from our prior guidance of $1.60 - $1.70. As a result of expected supply chain delays and higher equipment sales proceeds, our updated full year net capital expenditures guidance range is $325 million to $350 million, compared to our prior guidance range of $375 million to $425 million.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures, including revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Management believes the use of non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding the business, as further described below. The non-GAAP information provided is used by Company 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 in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of results as reported under GAAP.

A reconciliation of net income per share to adjusted diluted earnings per share as projected for 2021 is not provided. Schneider does not forecast net income per share as the Company cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with certainty various components of net income. The components of net income that cannot be predicted include expenses for items that do not relate to core operating performance, such as costs related to potential future acquisitions, as well as the related tax impact of these items. Further, in the future, other items with similar characteristics to those currently included in adjusted net income, that have a similar impact on the comparability of periods, and which are not known at this time may exist and impact adjusted net income.

Schneider National, Inc.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(unaudited)

In this earnings release, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), (2) adjusted income from operations, (3) adjusted operating ratio, (4) adjusted net income, and (5) adjusted diluted earnings per share. We also provide reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes the use of each of these non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding our business by (1) removing the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance, (2) providing investors with the same information our management uses internally to assess our core operating performance, and (3) presenting comparable financial results between periods. In addition, in the case of revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), we believe the measure is useful to investors because it isolates volume, price, and cost changes directly related to industry demand and the way we operate our business from the external factor of fluctuating fuel prices and the programs we have in place to manage fuel price fluctuations. Fuel-related costs and their impact on our industry are important to our results of operations, but they are often independent of other, more relevant factors affecting our results of operations and our industry.

Although we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, they have limitations as analytical tools and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. You should not consider the non-GAAP measures in this report in isolation or as substitutes for, or alternatives to, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of unusual or infrequent items or other adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will not be affected by unusual or infrequent items or by other items similar to such adjustments. Our management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results in addition to using the non-GAAP measures.

Adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP measures are made at the enterprise level, with the exception of fuel surcharge revenues, which are not included in segment revenues.

Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge)

We define “revenues (excluding fuel surcharge)” as operating revenues less fuel surcharge revenues, which are excluded from revenues at the segment level. Included below is a reconciliation of operating revenues, the most closely comparable GAAP financial measure, to revenues (excluding fuel surcharge).

Our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP items is determined annually using the applicable consolidated federal and state effective tax rate, modified to remove the impact of tax credits and adjustments that are not applicable to the specific items. Due to the differences in the tax treatment of items excluded from non-GAAP income, as well as the methodology applied to our estimated annual tax rates as described above, our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP items may differ from our GAAP tax rate and from our actual tax liabilities.
