News Release

  

 

Yellow Corporation Reports First Quarter 2021 Results

Company Confirms 2021 Investment in Capital Expenditures Range of $450 Million to $550 Million

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., May 5, 2021 – Yellow Corporation (NASDAQ: YELL) reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021. Operating revenue was $1.198 billion and operating loss was $27.6 million, which included a $1.0 million net loss on property disposals. In comparison, operating revenue in the first quarter 2020 was $1.150 billion and operating income was $28.0 million, which included a $39.3 million net gain on property disposals.

 

Net loss for first quarter 2021 was $63.3 million, or $1.26 per share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.13 per share, in first quarter 2020.  

 

“The severe winter weather, including a generational storm in the southern United States, significantly impacted our first quarter results,” said Darren Hawkins, Chief Executive Officer. “In February, roughly two-thirds of the 322 terminals in our network were either closed or had limited operations for some period. Our linehaul operations were also impacted by suspended service at various times. The recovery period to get the network fully back in cycle had a long tail that lasted into March and we estimate the unfavorable impact to operating income in the first quarter was approximately $16 million.

 

“With the impact of the winter weather behind us, LTL capacity remains tight driven by an improving economy and consumer optimism. We continue to see a strong yield environment.    

 

“As previously indicated, we expect near-term headwinds from higher purchased transportation expense primarily attributable to the use of local cartage and over the road purchased transportation, both of which are more expensive in a tight capacity environment. We continue to expand our nationwide recruiting efforts including holding more than two dozen hiring events and increasing the number of driving academy locations to 17. We also took delivery of more than 1,100 tractors, 1,600 trailers and 140 containers during the first quarter as part of our $450 million to $550 million capital expenditures plan in 2021. As we hire drivers and bring on additional revenue equipment, we expect to use less local cartage and over the road purchased transportation.

 

“We are in the process of executing the migration of our operating companies to One Yellow technology platform. We are also focused on optimizing the network to create One Yellow network and to expand and enhance service in the 1, 2 and 3-day lanes nationwide. The transformation to One Yellow remains on schedule to be completed in the middle of 2022.

 

“The passage of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 will strengthen eligible multiemployer pension plans that are currently severely underfunded and substantially mitigate their unfunded liabilities. The Act and the relief it provides will protect the hard-earned benefits of retirees from many companies and many industries including members of the Yellow team,” concluded Hawkins.

 

Financial Update

 

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company generated Adjusted EBITDA of $13.2 million in first quarter 2021, compared to $34.1 million in the prior year comparable quarter (as detailed in the reconciliation below). Last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA as of March 31, 2021 was $171.0 million compared to $214.6 million as of March 31, 2020 (as detailed in the reconciliation below).

 

In first quarter 2021, the Company invested $202.4 million in capital expenditures. This compares to $12.4 million in capital expenditures and $0.7 million in capital value equivalent in new operating leases for a total of $13.1 million in first quarter 2020.

 


 

 

Operational Update

 

The operating ratio for first quarter 2021 was 102.3 compared to 97.6 in first quarter 2020.

Including fuel surcharge, first quarter LTL revenue per hundredweight increased 6.7% and LTL revenue per shipment increased 5.4%.

 

First quarter 2021 LTL tonnage per workday increased 0.5% when compared to first quarter 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that reflects the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that reflects EBITDA, and further adjusts for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals, restructuring charges, transaction costs related to issuances of debt, non-recurring consulting fees, non-cash impairment charges and the gains or losses from permitted dispositions, discontinued operations, and certain non-cash expenses, charges and losses (provided that if any of such non-cash expenses, charges or losses represents an accrual or reserve for potential cash items in any future period, the cash payment in respect thereof in such future period will be subtracted from Adjusted EBITDA in such future period to the extent paid). Adjusted EBITDA as used herein is defined as Consolidated EBITDA in our UST Credit Agreements and Term Loan Agreement (collectively, the “TL Agreements”). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects the company’s core operating performance. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with financial covenants in our TL Agreements and to determine certain incentive compensation. We believe our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users as these measures represent key supplemental information our management uses to compare and evaluate our core underlying business results, particularly in light of our leverage position and the capital-intensive nature of our business. Further, EBITDA is a measure that is commonly used by other companies in our industry and provides a comparison for investors to evaluate the performance of the companies in the industry. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA helps investors to understand how the company is tracking against our financial covenants in our TL Agreements.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have the following limitations:

 

EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or fund principal payments on our outstanding debt;

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or fund principal payments on our outstanding debt, letter of credit expenses, restructuring charges, transaction costs related to debt, non-cash charges, charges or losses (subject to the conditions above), or nonrecurring consulting fees, among other items;

 

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

Equity-based compensation is an element of our long-term incentive compensation program for certain employees, although Adjusted EBITDA excludes employee equity-based compensation expense when presenting our ongoing operating performance for a particular period; and

 

Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using our non-GAAP measures as secondary measures.  The company has provided reconciliations of its non-GAAP measures to GAAP net income (loss) within the supplemental financial information in this release.

(a)

Managed Accessibility represents the maximum amount we would access on the ABL Facility and is adjusted for eligible receivables plus eligible borrowing base cash measured for the applicable period. Based on the eligible receivable’s management uses to measure availability, which is 10% of the borrowing line, the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility permits adjustments from eligible borrowing base cash to restricted cash prior to the compliance measurement date which is 15 days from the period close.

(a)

Non-cash reserve changes reflect the net non-cash reserve charge for union and non-union vacation, with such non-cash reserve adjustment to be reduced by cash charges in a future period when paid.

(b)

Pursuant to the TL Agreements, Adjusted EBITDA limits certain adjustments in aggregate to 10% of the trailing-twelve-month ("TTM") Adjusted EBITDA, prior to the inclusion of amounts subject to the 10% threshold, for each period ending. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, integration costs, severance, and non-recurring charges. The limitation calculation is updated quarterly based on TTM Adjusted EBITDA, and any necessary adjustment resulting from this limitation, if applicable, will be presented here. The sum of the quarters may not necessarily equal TTM Adjusted EBITDA due to the expiration of adjustments from prior periods.
