INVESTOR PRESENTATION February 2017 Exhibit 99.1
Forward-looking Statements and Disclaimers The information in this presentation is summary in nature and may not contain all information that is important to you. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that (i) no representation or warranty regarding the material contained in this presentation is made by YRC Worldwide Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) or any of its affiliates and (ii) that the Company and its affiliates have no obligation to update or supplement this presentation or otherwise provide additional information. This presentation is for discussion and reference purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or other property. This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance of the Company and include statements about the Company’s expectations or forecasts for future periods and events. Specific forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and include, without limitation, words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. We disclaim any obligation to update those statements, except as applicable law may require us to do so, and we caution you not to rely unduly on them. We have based those forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events, and while our management considers those expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those we discuss in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This presentation includes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing our financial results. Therefore, this measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income from operations, cash flows from operations, earnings per fully-diluted share or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. You should be aware that this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of this measure to the most comparable measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been included in this presentation.

From the time we began traveling the roads more than 90 years ago, we have used a combination of extraordinary service, technology and good old fashioned hard work to evolve into the company we are today — one of the largest less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers in North America with ~32,000 employees, driving more than 940 million miles a year and generating $4.7 billion in annual revenue THERE ARE FREIGHT COMPANIES AND THEN THERE’S YRCW
YRCW provides services under a portfolio of four operating companies Collectively, we have approximately 20 - 25% of the public carrier market by tonnage. We provide the broadest coverage and more service capability throughout North America than any competitor. To put it simply, customers tell us where they want their freight to go and when it needs to be there, and we take it there; we carry the economy
We’ve got every corner of North America covered (And the maps to prove it)
North American Coverage YRC Freight serves manufacturing, wholesale, retail and government customers throughout North America. When customers need longer-haul LTL shipping solutions, YRC Freight is the expert For next-day and time-sensitive services, we have three distinct regional carriers: Holland, Reddaway and New Penn. All three brands are well-established in their respective regions
YRC Freight, Holland, Reddaway and New Penn, provide service to more than 250,000 customers in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico. Plus, with extensive networks already in place and spanning North America, we are well-positioned to offer LTL services to an even greater number of future customers Networks built for the future
The company you keep says a lot about you. And we work with some very good companies. We’re fortunate to have stable, long-standing relationships with some of the greatest companies in the world, from large Fortune 500 companies to small, privately-held businesses
We delivered, and our customers noticed 4 out of the last 6 years, YRCW operating companies have received awards from Walmart for outstanding service In 2015, Toyota named Holland and Reddaway their LTL logistics partners of the year New Penn and Holland received Quest of Quality awards in 2016 from Logistics Management magazine

Opportunity for EBITDA Margin Growth & Further Deleveraging Assuming current market performance of an OR of 91 to 93, the long-term EBITDA margin segment goals are as follows: YRCF= 6.6% (equivalent to an OR of 96 – 97) Regional = 9.0% (equivalent to an OR of approximately 95) 9.0% 6.6% Note: The peer group’s FY 2016 EBITDA and OR excludes XPO Logistics’ LTL Division and UPS Freight. For FY 2016 Industry EBITDA margin, Road Runner’s 3Q16 LTM data was used as they have not released earnings for FY 2016. Note: For comparison purposes, EBITDA for all companies is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization. EBITDA used to calculate EBITDA margin for YRC Regional and YRC Freight above differs from the credit agreement definition of Adjusted EBITDA

Multi-Employer Pension Plans Contingent Liability Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements Required contributions anticipated to be an average of $1.85(a) per hour in 2017 2017 cash contributions to be approximately $89 million(a) Expense included in EBITDA Contributions are made to 32 multi-employer pension plans with various levels of underfunding Pension plans are managed by independent trustees If the Company were to withdraw from or there was a termination of all of the multi-employer pension plans, the Company’s portion of the contingent liability would be an estimated $10 billion However…………YRC Worldwide has, and expects to continue, making its required contractual contributions to the multi-employer pension plans thus SIGNIFICANTLY minimizing the potential of any material contingent liability becoming due Additionally, to our knowledge, there are no regulations that would change our average per hour contribution for the remaining term of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as that is contractually agreed to by and between the Company and the individual funds nor are we aware of any regulations that would materially change the status or amount of our contingent liability. As long as we continue to pay what is contractually agreed to, there should be no issue (a) The estimated contribution amount is subject to potential increases under the 2014 MOU Extension Agreement if the Company’s health and welfare contributions made to maintain the current level of health and welfare benefits are less than the health and welfare contribution amounts already negotiated.
