Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is headquartered in Cudahy, Wisconsin and has three operating segments: less-than-truckload (“LTL”), truckload and logistics (“TL”), and transportation management solutions (“TMS”). Within its LTL business, the Company operates 42 LTL service centers throughout the United States complemented by relationships with over 200 delivery agents. Within its TL business, the Company operates a network of 27 TL service centers, five freight consolidation and inventory management centers, and 19 company dispatch offices. The TL business is augmented by 81 independent brokerage agents. The Company operates its TMS business from five service centers throughout the United States. From pickup to delivery, the Company leverages relationships with a diverse group of third-party carriers to provide scalable capacity and reliable, customized service to customers in North America. The Company operates primarily in the United States.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the Company's opinion, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except for the measurement period adjustment related to purchase accounting discussed in Note 2, necessary for a fair presentation of the operations for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
The Company determines its operating segments based on the information utilized by the chief operating decision maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to allocate resources and assess performance. Based on this information, the Company has determined that it has three operating segments, which are also its reportable segments: LTL, TL, and TMS.

The following table summarizes, in the aggregate, the allocation of the purchase price paid to the fair value of the net assets for the 2012 (in thousands):
|
| | | |
| 2012 Acquisitions |
Accounts receivable | $ | 15,175 |
|
Other current assets | 1,240 |
|
Property and equipment | 32,387 |
|
Goodwill | 76,550 |
|
Customer relationship intangible assets | 4,932 |
|
Other noncurrent assets | 623 |
|
Accounts payable and other liabilities | (42,192 | ) |
Total | $ | 88,715 |
|
The goodwill for the acquisitions, in the aggregate, is a result of acquiring and retaining the existing workforces and expected synergies from integrating the operations into the Company. Purchase accounting is considered final for the 2012 acquisitions of CTL, D&E, and CTW, preliminary for the 2012 acquisition of A&A, and preliminary for the 2012 acquisitions of R&M, EFS, Central Cal, and DCT with respect to deferred taxes and goodwill as final information was not available as of June 30, 2013. The measurement period adjustments from the previous recorded opening balances relate primarily to fair value measurement changes in customer relationship intangible assets and changes in acquired deferred tax assets and liabilities. Measurement period adjustments were recorded prospectively as they were not considered material to the financial statements as of December 31, 2012.
From the dates of acquisition through June 30, 2012, the 2012 acquisitions contributed revenues to the Company of $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and contributed net income to the Company of $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

4. Fair Value Measurement
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table presents information, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, about the Company’s financial liabilities. Contingent purchase price related to acquisitions are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values (in thousands):

On August 3, 2012, the Company entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement (the "credit agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) and other lenders, which increased the revolving credit facility from $100.0 million to $125.0 million and the term loan from $140.0 million to $170.0 million. The credit facility matures on August 3, 2017. Principal on the term loan is due in quarterly installments of $4.3 million per quarter until 2017. The Company categorizes the borrowings under the credit agreement as a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as defined in Note 4. The carrying value of the Company's long-term debt approximates fair value as the debt agreement bears interest based on prevailing variable market rates currently available. The credit agreement is collateralized by all assets of the Company and the revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base equal to 85% of the Company’s eligible receivables. The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum cash flow leverage ratio. Additionally, the credit agreement contains negative covenants limiting, among other things, additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, additional liens, sales of assets, dividends, investments and advances, prepayments of debt, mergers and acquisitions, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. As of and at all times during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the credit agreement. Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at either (a) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the credit agreement), plus an applicable margin in the range of 2.0% to 3.8%, or (b) the Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement), plus an applicable margin in the range of 1.5% to 2.8%. The revolving credit facility also provides for the issuance of up to $25.0 million in letters of credit. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $9.4 million. Total availability under the revolving credit facility was $93.6 million as of June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the average interest rate on the credit agreement was 2.7%.
6. Stockholders’ Investment
Changes in stockholders’ investment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following (in thousands):

In January 2013, the underwriters for the Company's public offering of common stock exercised in full their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 525,000 shares of common stock at a price of $17.25 per share to the public. The sale of the additional shares resulted in additional net proceeds to the Company of approximately $8.5 million after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses.
7. Preferred Stock
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock
In March 2007, the Company issued 5,000 shares of non-voting Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), which were mandatorily redeemable by the Company at $1,000 per share, in cash, on November 30, 2012. The Series A Preferred Stock received cash dividends annually on April 30 at an annual rate equal to $40 per share. In March 2012, the Company repurchased the 5,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and paid the corresponding dividends through the date of the repurchase.
8. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, diluted earnings per share was calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common stock outstanding plus stock equivalents that would arise from the assumed exercise of stock options and conversion of warrants using the treasury stock method. There is no difference, for any of the periods presented, in the amount of net income available to common stockholders used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.
The following table reconciles basic weighted average stock outstanding to diluted weighted average stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands). In the June 30, 2012 financial statements, the dilutive impact of warrants and restricted stock units in the table below were transposed between the respective line items for the six months ended June 30, 2012; the total was correct. The table below reflects the correction of those amounts:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2013 | | 2012 | | 2013 | | 2012 |
Basic weighted average stock outstanding | 35,585 |
| | 30,821 |
| | 35,289 |
| | 30,782 |
|

|
Diluted weighted average stock outstanding | 37,307 |
| | 32,186 |
| | 36,442 |
| | 32,182 |
|
The Company had additional stock options and warrants outstanding of 308,698 as of June 30, 2012. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were not assumed to be exercised under the treasury stock method or were anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2013, all stock options and warrants were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
9. Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 38.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with 38.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the effective income tax rate was 38.7% compared with 38.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company used an
estimated annual effective tax rate, which was based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and its best estimate of non-deductible and non-taxable items of income and expense. Income tax expense varies from the amount computed by applying the federal corporate income tax rate of 35.0% to income before income taxes primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal income tax effect, and adjustments for permanent differences.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a defendant in several property and other claims. In the aggregate, the Company does not believe any of these claims will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company maintains liability insurance coverage for claims in excess of $500,000 per occurrence and cargo coverage for claims in excess of $100,000 per occurrence. The Company believes it has adequate insurance to cover losses in excess of the deductible amount. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had reserves for estimated uninsured losses of $5.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively.
11. Related Party Transactions
The Company has an advisory agreement with HCI Equity Management L.P. (“HCI”) to pay a transaction fee for each acquisition and an annual advisory fee of $0.1 million. The Company paid an aggregate of $0.1 million to HCI for the advisory fee and travel expenses during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
12. Segment Reporting
The Company determines its operating segments based on the information utilized by the chief operating decision maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to allocate resources and assess performance. Based on this information, the Company has determined that it has three operating segments, which are also the reportable segments: LTL, TL, and TMS.
These reportable segments are strategic business units through which the Company offers different services. The Company evaluates the performance of the segments primarily based on their respective revenues and operating income. Accordingly, interest expense and other non-operating items are not reported in segment results. In addition, the Company has disclosed a corporate segment, which is not an operating segment and includes acquisition transaction expenses, corporate salaries, and stock-based compensation expense.
The following table reflects certain financial data of the Company’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the factors discussed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of Part II below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis should also be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” relating to our results for the year ended December 31, 2012, set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2013.
Overview
We are a leading asset-light transportation and logistics service provider offering a full suite of solutions, including customized and expedited less-than-truckload (“LTL”), truckload and logistics (“TL”), transportation management solutions (“TMS”), intermodal solutions (transporting a shipment by more than one mode, primarily via rail and truck), freight consolidation, inventory management, expedited services, international freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and comprehensive global supply chain solutions. We utilize a broad third-party network of transportation providers, comprised of independent contractors (“ICs”) and purchased power providers, to serve a diverse customer base in terms of end market focus and annual freight expenditures. Although we service large national accounts, we primarily focus on small to mid-size shippers, which we believe represent an expansive and underserved market. Our business model is highly scalable and flexible, featuring a variable cost structure that requires minimal investment in transportation equipment and facilities, thereby enhancing free cash flow generation and returns on our invested capital and assets.
We have three operating segments:
Less-than-Truckload. Our LTL business involves the pickup, consolidation, linehaul, deconsolidation, and delivery of LTL shipments throughout the United States and into Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Canada. With a network of 42 LTL service centers and over 200 third-party delivery agents, we employ a point-to-point LTL model that we believe serves as a competitive advantage over the traditional hub and spoke LTL model in terms of faster transit times, lower incidence of damage, and reduced fuel consumption.
Truckload and Logistics. Within our TL business, we arrange the pickup, delivery, freight consolidation, and inventory management of TL freight through our network of 27 TL service centers, five freight consolidation and inventory management centers, 19 company dispatch offices, and 81 independent brokerage agents primarily located throughout the United States and Canada. We offer temperature-controlled, dry van, intermodal drayage, and flatbed services and specialize in the transport of refrigerated foods, poultry, and beverages. We believe this specialization provides consistent shipping volume year-over-year.
Transportation Management Solutions. Within our TMS business, we offer a “one-stop” transportation and logistics solution, including access to the most cost-effective and time-sensitive modes of transportation within our broad network. Specifically, our TMS offering includes pricing, contract management, transportation mode and carrier selection, freight tracking, freight bill payment and audit, cost reporting and analysis, and dispatch. Our customized TMS offering is designed to allow our customers to reduce operating costs, redirect resources to core competencies, improve supply chain efficiency, and enhance customer service. Our TMS segment also includes domestic and international air and ocean transportation services and customs brokerage.
Our success principally depends on our ability to generate revenues through our network of sales personnel and independent brokerage agents and to deliver freight in all modes safely, on time, and cost-effectively through a suite of solutions tailored to the needs of each customer. Customer shipping demand, over-the-road freight tonnage levels, and equipment capacity ultimately drive increases or decreases in our revenues. Our ability to operate profitably and generate cash is also impacted by purchased transportation costs, fuel costs, pricing dynamics, customer mix, and our ability to manage costs effectively. Within our LTL business, we typically generate revenues by charging our customers a rate based on shipment weight, distance hauled, and commodity type. This amount is typically comprised of a base rate, a fuel surcharge, and any applicable service fees. Within our TL business, we typically charge a flat rate negotiated on each load hauled. Within our TMS business, we typically charge a variable rate on each shipment, in addition to transaction or service fees appropriate for the solution we have provided to meet a specific customer’s needs.
We incur costs that are directly related to the transportation of freight, including purchased transportation costs and commissions paid to our agents based on the net revenue margin. We also incur indirect costs associated with the transportation of freight that include other operating costs, such as insurance and claims. In addition, we incur personnel–related costs and other operating expenses, collectively discussed herein as other operating expenses, essential to administering our operations. We
continually monitor all components of our cost structure and establish annual budgets, which are generally used to benchmark costs incurred on a monthly basis.
Purchased transportation costs within our LTL business represent amounts we pay to ICs or purchased power providers and are generally contractually agreed-upon rates. Purchased transportation costs within our TL business are typically based on negotiated rates for each load hauled. Within our TMS business, purchased transportation costs include payments made to our purchased power providers, which are generally contractually agreed-upon rates. Purchased transportation costs are the largest component of our cost structure. Our purchased transportation costs typically increase or decrease in proportion to revenues.
Our ability to maintain or grow existing tonnage levels is impacted by overall economic conditions, shipping demand, and over-the-road freight capacity in North America, as well as by our ability to compete effectively in terms of pricing, safety, and on-time delivery.
The pricing environment in the transportation industry also impacts our operating performance. Our LTL pricing is typically measured by billed revenue per hundredweight, which is often referred to as “yield.” Our LTL pricing is dictated primarily by factors such as shipment size, shipment frequency and consistency, length of haul, freight density, and customer and geographic mix. Pricing within our TL business generally has fewer influential factors than pricing within our LTL business, but is also typically driven by shipment frequency and consistency, length of haul, and customer and geographic mix. Since we offer both LTL and TL shipping as part of our TMS offering, pricing within our TMS segment is impacted by similar factors. The pricing environment for all of our operations generally becomes more competitive during periods of lower industry tonnage levels and increased capacity within the over-the-road freight sector.
The transportation industry is dependent upon the availability of adequate fuel supplies and the price of fuel. Fuel prices have fluctuated dramatically over recent years. Within our LTL business, our ICs and purchased power providers pass along the cost of diesel fuel to us, and we in turn attempt to pass along some or all of these costs to our customers through fuel surcharge revenue programs. Although revenues from fuel surcharges generally offset increases in fuel costs, other operating costs have been, and may continue to be, impacted by fluctuating fuel prices. The total impact of higher energy prices on other nonfuel-related expenses is difficult to ascertain. We cannot predict future fuel price fluctuations, the impact of higher energy prices on other cost elements, recoverability of higher fuel costs through fuel surcharges, and the effect of fuel surcharges on our overall rate structure or the total price that we will receive from our customers. Depending on the changes in the fuel rates and the impact on costs in other fuel- and energy-related areas, our operating margins could be impacted. Within our TL and TMS businesses, we pass fuel costs through to our customers. As a result, our operating income in these businesses is less impacted by changes in fuel prices.
Recent Acquisitions
In April 2013, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock and the Charleston, South Carolina property of Wando Trucking, Inc. ("Wando Trucking") for the purpose of expanding our market presence within the TL segment. Wando Trucking is a provider of intermodal transportation and related services in the Southeast. See Note 2 within the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
In April 2013, we also acquired all of the outstanding stock of Adrian Carriers, Inc. and C.B.A. Container Sales, Ltd. (collectively, "Adrian Carriers") for the purpose of expanding our market presence within the TMS segment. Headquartered in Illinois, Adrian Carriers is a logistics service provider offering container management and intermodal solutions. See Note 2 within the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
In July 2013, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Marisol International, LLC ("Marisol"), for the purpose of expanding our market presence within the TMS segment. Headquartered in Missouri, Marisol is a leading non-asset based, supply chain-critical, provider of international logistics solutions. See Note 13 within the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012
Revenues
Consolidated revenues increased by $69.4 million, or 26.4%, to $331.9 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $262.5 million during the second quarter of 2012, the majority of which was attributable to the impact of our 2012 and 2013 acquisitions.
LTL revenues increased by $16.8 million, or 13.0%, to $146.5 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $129.7 million during the second quarter of 2012. This growth was driven by the acquisition of EFS, which contributed $6.4 million of the revenue increase, as well as quarter-over-quarter organic LTL tonnage growth of 19.5%, driven by an increase in the number of LTL shipments. These increases were slightly offset by a 1.9% decline in weight per shipment. Revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel, decreased 4.9% quarter-over-quarter resulting from the addition of EFS, which has a lower revenue per hundredweight due to freight mix and length of haul. Excluding EFS, revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel, increased 2.6%.
TL revenues increased by $50.2 million, or 45.2%, to $161.2 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $111.0 million during the second quarter of 2012. The acquisitions of D&E, CTW, R&M, Central Cal, A&A, DCT, and Wando Trucking collectively contributed $43.3 million of the revenue increase. The remaining $6.9 million of the revenue increase was driven by increases in market pricing and load growth due to the expansion of our IC network, as well as the continued increase in the utilization of our broker agent network.
TMS revenues increased by $3.9 million, or 16.6%, to $27.0 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $23.1 million during the second quarter of 2012. This growth was primarily driven by our acquisition of Adrian Carriers.
Purchased Transportation Costs
Purchased transportation costs increased by $42.0 million, or 22.6%, to $227.9 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $185.9 million during the second quarter of 2012.
LTL purchased transportation costs increased by $8.0 million, or 8.3%, to $104.3 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $96.3 million during the second quarter of 2012, and decreased as a percentage of LTL revenues to 71.2% during the second quarter of 2013 from 74.2% during the second quarter of 2012. This improvement was primarily a result of ongoing pricing and cost initiatives, new geographic regions, and additional lane density. Excluding fuel surcharges, our average linehaul cost per mile decreased slightly to $1.23 during the second quarter of 2013 from $1.24 during the second quarter of 2012.
TL purchased transportation costs increased by $34.5 million, or 46.2%, to $109.0 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $74.5 million during the second quarter of 2012. This increase was the result of our TL acquisitions of D&E, CTW, R&M, Central Cal, A&A, DCT, and Wando Trucking, which collectively contributed $27.8 million of the increase, and the increase in market pricing and increased utilization of our broker agent network. TL purchased transportation costs as a percentage of TL revenues increased to 67.6% during the second quarter of 2013 from 67.1% during the second quarter of 2012 as a result of the expansion of our IC network to support our revenue growth.
TMS purchased transportation costs increased by $1.1 million, or 6.8%, to $17.5 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $16.4 million during the second quarter of 2012. TMS purchased transportation costs as a percentage of TMS revenues decreased to 65.0% during the second quarter of 2013 from 70.9% during the second quarter of 2012 primarily as a result of the acquisition of Adrian Carriers, which offers higher margin services.
Other Operating Expenses

Within our LTL business, other operating expenses increased by $7.1 million, or 31.4%, to $29.5 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $22.4 million during the second quarter of 2012. The increase was the result of our acquisition of EFS, which contributed $5.4 million of the total increase, and expanded infrastructure costs to support new business initiatives and organic revenue growth. As a percentage of LTL revenues, other operating expenses increased to 20.1% from 17.3%, primarily due to the inclusion of employee drivers of EFS and owned equipment expense in other operating expenses.
Within our TL business, other operating expenses increased by $10.0 million, or 35.3%, to $38.3 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $28.3 million during the second quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of our acquisitions of D&E, CTW, R&M, Central Cal, A&A, DCT, and Wando Trucking, which contributed an aggregate of $11.2 million of the total increase. The increase from these acquisitions was offset by cost saving initiatives and the transition of employee drivers to ICs. As a percentage
of TL revenues, other operating expenses decreased to 23.8% from 25.5%, primarily due to the expansion of our IC network to cover load growth and increased revenues. Costs associated with the IC network are included in purchased transportation costs.
Within our TMS business, other operating expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 40.8%, to $5.3 million during the second quarter of 2013 from $3.8 million during the second quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of our acquisition of Adrian Carriers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of cash have been borrowings under our revolving credit facility, cash flows from operations, sales of securities, and equity contributions. Our primary cash needs are and have been to execute our acquisition strategy, fund normal working capital requirements, finance capital expenditures, and repay our indebtedness. As of June 30, 2013, we had $5.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $93.6 million of availability under our credit facility, and $70.2 million in net working capital. As we continue to execute on our acquisition strategy, additional financing may be necessary within the next 12 months.
Although we can provide no assurances, amounts available under our credit facility, net cash provided by operating activities, and available cash and cash equivalents should be adequate to finance working capital and planned capital expenditures for at
least the next 12 months. Thereafter, we may find it necessary to obtain additional equity or debt financing as we continue to execute our business strategy.
Our credit facility consists of a $170.0 million term loan and a revolving credit facility up to a maximum aggregate amount of $125.0 million, of which up to $10.0 million may be used for Swing Line Loans (as defined in the credit agreement) and up to $25.0 million may be used for letters of credit. The credit facility matures on August 3, 2017.
Advances under our credit facility bear interest at either (a) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the credit agreement), plus an applicable margin in the range of 2.0% to 3.8% or (b) the Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement), plus an applicable margin in the range of 1.5% to 2.8%.
Our credit agreement requires us to meet financial tests, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum cash flow leverage ratio. In addition, our credit agreement contains negative covenants limiting, among other things, additional indebtedness, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, additional liens, sales of assets, dividends, investments and advances, prepayments of debt, mergers and acquisitions, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. Our credit agreement also contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, events of bankruptcy and insolvency, failure of any guaranty or security document supporting the credit agreement to be in full force and effect, and a change of control of our business. As of and at all times during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
Cash Flows
A summary of operating, investing, and financing activities are shown in the following table (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2013 | | 2012 |
Net cash provided by (used in): | | | |
Operating activities | $ | 17,600 |
| | $ | 12,362 |
|
Investing activities | (47,181 | ) | | (27,701 | ) |
Financing activities | 23,096 |
| | 13,804 |
|
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (6,485 | ) | | $ | (1,535 | ) |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, provision for bad debts, deferred taxes, and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.
The difference between our $24.6 million net income and the $17.6 million cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to a $26.4 million increase in our accounts receivable and a $5.8 million increase in accounts payable, which was partially offset by a $6.6 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, a $2.3 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, $8.2 million of depreciation and amortization, and $0.4 million of provision for bad debt. The overall changes in cash flow from operating activities were impacted by both the organic and acquisition growth during the second quarter of 2013.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $47.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, which primarily reflects $29.8 million used for our acquisitions of Wando Trucking and Adrian Carriers and $18.3 million of capital expenditures used to support our operations, offset by the proceeds from the sale of equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was $23.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013, which primarily reflects net borrowings of $13.5 million under our credit facility and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $12.1 million, offset by payments of $2.4 million for contingent earnouts and $0.1 million for debt issuance costs.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we applied the same critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 that affect judgments and estimates of amounts recorded for certain assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Commodity Risk
In our LTL, TL, and TMS businesses, our primary market risk centers on fluctuations in fuel prices, which can affect our profitability. Diesel fuel prices fluctuate significantly due to economic, political, and other factors beyond our control. Our ICs and purchased power providers pass along the cost of diesel fuel to us, and we in turn attempt to pass along some or all of these costs to our customers through fuel surcharge revenue programs. There can be no assurance that our fuel surcharge revenue programs will be effective in the future. Market pressures may limit our ability to pass along our fuel surcharges.
Interest Rate Risk
We have exposure to changes in interest rates on our revolving credit facility and term loan. The interest rate on our revolving credit facility and term loan fluctuate based on the prime rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin. Assuming our $125.0 million revolving credit facility was fully drawn and taking into consideration the outstanding term loan of $153.0 million as of June 30, 2013, a 1.0% increase in the borrowing rate would increase our annual interest expense by $2.8 million. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes and are not engaged in any interest rate swap agreements.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act")). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, with reasonable assurance, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, misstatements, errors, and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls also can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, internal controls may become inadequate as a result of changes in conditions, or through the deterioration of the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
|
| |
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. |
From time to time, we are involved in litigation and proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in any legal proceeding that we believe would have a material effect on our business or financial condition.
You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. In such a case, you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
One or more significant claims or the cost of maintaining our insurance could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
We employ several hundred drivers and use the services of thousands of ICs and transportation companies and their drivers in connection with our transportation operations. From time to time, these drivers are involved in accidents which may cause injuries and in which goods carried by these drivers are lost or damaged. Such accidents usually result in equipment damage and, unfortunately, can also result in injuries or death. Our involvement in the transportation of certain goods, including but not limited to hazardous materials, could also increase our exposure in the event of an accident resulting in injuries or contamination. The resulting types and/or amounts of damages may under any of these circumstances be excluded by or exceed the amount of our insurance coverage or the insurance coverage maintained by the contracted carrier. Although most of these drivers are ICs or work for third-party carriers, from time to time claims may be asserted against us for their actions or for our actions in retaining them. Claims against us may exceed the amount of our insurance coverage, or may not be covered by insurance at all. A material increase in the frequency or severity of accidents, claims for lost or damaged goods, liability claims, workers' compensation claims, or unfavorable resolutions of any such claims could adversely affect our results of operations to the extent claims are not covered by our insurance or such losses exceed our reserves. Significant increases in insurance costs or the inability to purchase insurance as a result of these claims could also reduce our profitability and have an adverse effect on our results of operations. The timing of the incurrence of these costs could also significantly and adversely impact our operating results compared to prior periods.
Increased insurance premium costs could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Insurance carriers may increase premiums for transportation companies generally. We could also experience additional increases in our insurance premiums in the future if our claims experience worsens. If our insurance or claims expense increases and we are unable to offset the increase with higher freight rates, our results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, we may not be able to maintain or obtain sufficient or desired levels of insurance at reasonable rates. In some instances, certain insurance could become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.
The cost of compliance with, liability for violations of, or modifications to existing or future governmental regulations could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our operations are regulated and licensed by various federal and state transportation agencies in the United States and similar governmental agencies in foreign countries in which we operate. These regulatory agencies have authority and oversight of domestic and international transportation services and related activities, licensure, motor carrier operations, safety and security, and other matters. We must comply with various insurance and surety bond requirements to act in the capacities for which we are licensed. Our subsidiaries and ICs must also comply with applicable regulations and requirements of such agencies.
Through our subsidiaries, we hold various licenses required to carry out our domestic and international services. These licenses permit us to provide services as a motor carrier, property broker, indirect air carrier, ocean transportation intermediary, non-vessel operating common carrier, freight forwarder, and ocean freight forwarder. We also are subject to regulations and requirements promulgated by, among others, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through the Bureau of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission, the International Air Transportation Association, and various other international, domestic, state, and local agencies and port authorities. Our failure to maintain our required licenses, or to comply with applicable regulations, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
In addition, U.S. Department of Homeland Security regulations applicable to our customers who import goods into the United States and our contracted ocean carriers may impact our ability to provide and/or receive services with and from these parties. Enforcement measures related to violations of these regulations can slow and or prevent the delivery of shipments, which may negatively impact our operations.
The regulatory requirements governing our operations are subject to change based on new legislation and regulatory initiatives, which could affect the economics of the transportation industry by requiring changes in operating practices or influencing the demand for, and the cost of providing, transportation services. We cannot predict what impact future regulations may have on our business. Compliance with existing, new, or more stringent measures could disrupt or impede the timing of our deliveries and our ability to satisfy the needs of our customers. In addition, we may experience an increase in operating costs, such as security costs, as a result of governmental regulations that have been and will be adopted in response to terrorist activities and potential terrorist activities. The cost of compliance with existing or future measures could adversely affect our results of operations. Further, we could become subject to liabilities as a result of a failure to comply with applicable regulations.
Our operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, the violation of which could result in substantial fines or penalties.
From time to time, we arrange for the movement of hazardous materials at the request of our customers. As a result, we are subject to various environmental laws and regulations relating to the handling, transport, and disposal of hazardous materials. If our customers or carriers are involved in an accident involving hazardous materials, or if we are found to be in violation of applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to substantial fines or penalties, remediation costs, or civil and criminal liability, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, current and future laws and regulations relating to carbon emissions and the effects of global warming can be expected to have a significant impact on the transportation sector generally and the operations and profitability of some of our carriers in particular, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
A decrease in levels of capacity in the over-the-road freight sector could have an adverse impact on our business.
The current operating environment in the over-the-road freight sector resulting from the economic downturn, fluctuating fuel costs, industry-specific regulations (such as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Compliance, Safety and Accountability Program (“CSA”) and hours-of-service rules and the proposed but not yet finalized changes implemented under Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21)), and other economic factors are causing a tightening of capacity in the sector generally, and in our carrier network specifically, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to execute our business strategy and on our business.
We may not be able to successfully execute our acquisition strategy, and any acquisitions that we undertake could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and adversely affect our results of operations.
We plan to increase our revenue and expand our service offerings in the market regions that we serve through the acquisition of complementary businesses. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to identify suitable acquisitions or investment candidates. Even if we identify suitable candidates, we cannot guarantee that we will make acquisitions or investments on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, we may incur debt or be required to issue equity securities to pay for future acquisitions or investments. The issuance of any equity securities could be dilutive to our stockholders.
Strategic acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following:
| |
• | failure of the acquired company to achieve anticipated revenues, earnings, or cash flows; |
| |
• | assumption of liabilities that were not disclosed to us or that exceed our estimates; |
| |
• | problems integrating the purchased operations with our own, which could result in substantial costs and delays or other operational, technical, or financial problems; |
| |
• | potential compliance issues with regard to acquired companies that did not have adequate internal controls; |
| |
• | diversion of management's attention or other resources from our existing business; |
| |
• | risks associated with entering markets in which we have limited prior experience; and |
| |
• | potential loss of key employees and customers of the acquired company. |
We may have difficulties integrating acquired companies.
For acquisitions, including our recent acquisition of Marisol International, success is also dependent upon efficiently integrating the acquired business into our existing operations. These risks could be heightened if we complete a large acquisition or multiple acquisitions within a short period of time. We are required to integrate these businesses into our internal control environment, which may present challenges that are different than those presented by organic growth and that may be difficult to manage. The possible difficulties of integration include, among others: retention of customers and key employees; unanticipated issues in the assimilation and consolidation of information, communications, and other systems; inefficiencies and difficulties that arise because of unfamiliarity with potentially new geographic areas and new assets and the businesses associated with them; consolidation of corporate and administrative infrastructures; the diversion of management's attention from ongoing business concerns; the effect on internal controls and compliance with the regulatory requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and unanticipated issues, expenses, and liabilities. The diversion of the attention of management from our current operations to the acquired operations and any difficulties encountered in combining operations could prevent us from realizing the full benefits anticipated to result from the acquisitions and could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Also, following an acquisition, we may discover previously unknown liabilities associated with the acquired business for which we have no recourse under applicable indemnification provisions. If we are unable to successfully integrate and grow these acquisitions and to realize contemplated revenue synergies and cost savings, our business, prospects, results of operations, financial position, and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
Our international operations subject us to operational and financial risks.
We provide transportation and logistics services to and from international locations and are, therefore, subject to risks of international business, including, but not limited to, the following:
| |
• | changes in tariffs, trade restrictions, trade agreements, and taxations; |
| |
• | difficulties in managing or overseeing foreign operations and agents; |
| |
• | limitations on the repatriation of funds because of foreign exchange controls; |
| |
• | different liability standards; and |
| |
• | intellectual property laws of countries which do not protect our rights in our intellectual property, including, but not limited to, our proprietary information systems, to the same extent as the laws of the United States. |
We are also subject to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). Failure to comply with the FCPA and local regulations in the conduct of our international business operations may result in legal claims against us.
The occurrence or consequences of any of these factors may restrict our ability to operate in the affected region and/or decrease the profitability of our operations in that region.
As we expand our business in foreign countries, we will be exposed to increased risk of loss from foreign currency fluctuations and exchange controls as well as longer accounts receivable payment cycles. We have limited control over these risks, and if we do not correctly anticipate changes in international economic and political conditions, we may not alter our business practices in time to avoid adverse effects.
Our indebtedness could adversely affect our business and limit our ability to expand our business or respond to changes, and we may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt service obligations.
As of June 30, 2013, we had indebtedness of $175.0 million. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future, including any additional borrowings available under our senior credit facility. Any substantial indebtedness and the fact that a substantial portion of our cash flow from operating activities could be needed to make payments on this indebtedness could have adverse consequences, including the following:
| |
• | reducing the availability of our cash flow for our operations, capital expenditures, future business opportunities, and other purposes; |
| |
• | limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate, which would place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that may have less debt; |
| |
• | limiting our ability to borrow additional funds; |
| |
• | increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; and |
| |
• | failing to comply with the covenants in our debt agreements could result in all of our indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable. |
Our ability to borrow any funds needed to operate and expand our business will depend in part on our ability to generate cash. Our ability to generate cash is subject to the performance of our business as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors that are beyond our control. If our business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operating activities or if future borrowings are not available to us under our senior credit facility or otherwise in amounts sufficient to enable us to fund our liquidity needs, our operating results, financial condition, and ability to expand our business may be adversely affected. Moreover, our inability to make scheduled payments on our debt obligations in the future would require us to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity, sell assets, delay capital expenditures, or seek additional equity.
Our senior credit facility contains financial and other restrictive covenants with which we may be unable to comply. A default under these financing arrangements could cause a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.
The loans outstanding under our senior credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on certain real property owned by our domestic subsidiaries and substantially all of our and our domestic subsidiaries' tangible and intangible personal property, including a pledge of the capital stock of certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries. Our senior credit facility contains conditions, representations and warranties, events of default, and indemnification provisions that are customary for financings of this type including, but not limited to, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum adjusted leverage ratio, and limitations on incurrence of debt, investments, liens on assets, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, and purchases and sales of assets.
If we default under the terms of this facility and fail to obtain appropriate amendments to or waivers under the applicable financing arrangement, our borrowings against the facility could be immediately declared due and payable. If we fail to pay the amount due, the lenders could proceed against the collateral by which our loans are secured, our borrowing capacity may be limited, or the facility could be terminated. If acceleration of outstanding borrowings occurs or if the facilities are terminated, we may have difficulty borrowing additional funds sufficient to refinance the accelerated debt or entering into new credit or debt arrangements, and, if available, the terms of the financing may not be acceptable. A default under our senior credit facility could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
Fluctuations in the price or availability of fuel, a prolonged continuation in the upward trend of fuel prices, and limitations on our ability to collect fuel surcharges may adversely affect our results of operations.
We are subject to risks associated with fuel charges from our ICs and purchased power providers in our LTL and TL businesses. The tractors operated by our ICs and purchased power providers require large amounts of diesel fuel and the availability and price of diesel fuel are subject to political, economic, and market factors that are outside of our control. The weekly per-gallon price of diesel fuel ranged from a low of $3.33 in January 2011 to a high of $4.16 in February 2013, and was $3.84 in June 2013, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Our ICs and purchased power providers pass along the cost of diesel fuel to us, and we in turn attempt to pass along some or all of these costs to our customers through fuel surcharge revenue programs. There can be no assurance that our fuel surcharge revenue programs will be effective in the future. Market pressures may limit our ability to assess our fuel surcharges. At the request of our customers, we have at times temporarily capped the fuel surcharges at a fixed percentage pursuant to contractual arrangements that vary by customer. Currently, a minimal number of our customers have contractual arrangements with varying levels of capped fuel surcharges. If fuel surcharge revenue programs, base freight rate increases, or other cost-recovery mechanisms do not offset our exposure to rising fuel costs, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
A significant or prolonged economic downturn in the over-the-road freight sector, or a substantial downturn in our customers' business, could adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.
The over-the-road freight sector has historically experienced cyclical fluctuations in financial results due to, among other things, economic recession, downturns in business cycles, increasing costs and taxes, fluctuations in energy prices, price increases by carriers, changes in regulatory standards, license and registration fees, interest rate fluctuations, and other economic factors beyond our control. All of these factors could increase the operating costs of a vehicle and impact capacity levels in the over-the-road freight sector. Our ICs or purchased power providers may charge higher prices to cover higher operating expenses, and our operating income may decrease if we are unable to pass through to our customers the full amount of higher purchased transportation costs. Additionally, economic conditions may adversely affect our customers, their need for our services, or their ability to pay for our services. If the current economic downturn causes a reduction in the volume of freight shipped by our customers, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
We operate in a highly competitive industry and, if we are unable to adequately address factors that may adversely affect our revenue and costs, our business could suffer.
Competition in the transportation services industry is intense. We face significant competition in local, regional, national, and international markets. Increased competition may lead to revenue reductions, reduced profit margins, or a loss of market share, any one of which could harm our business. There are many factors that could impair our ability to maintain our current profitability, including the following:
| |
• | competition with other transportation services companies, some of which have a broader coverage network, a wider range of services, and greater capital resources than we do; |
| |
• | reduction by our competitors of their freight rates to gain business, especially during times of declining growth rates in the economy, which reductions may limit our ability to maintain or increase freight rates, maintain our operating margins, or maintain significant growth in our business; |
| |
• | solicitation by shippers of bids from multiple carriers for their shipping needs and the resulting depression of freight rates or loss of business to competitors; |
| |
• | development of a technology system similar to ours by a competitor with sufficient financial resources and comparable experience in the transportation services industry; and |
| |
• | establishment by our competitors of cooperative relationships to increase their ability to address shipper needs. |
Our executive officers and key personnel are important to our business, and these officers and personnel may not remain with us in the future.
We depend substantially on the efforts and abilities of our senior management. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to retain our current management team and to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future. Competition for senior management is intense, and we may not be able to retain our management team or attract additional qualified personnel. The loss of a member of senior management would require our remaining executive officers to divert immediate and substantial attention to fulfilling the duties of the departing executive and to seeking a replacement. The inability to adequately fill vacancies in our senior executive positions on a timely basis could negatively affect our ability to implement our business strategy, which could adversely impact our results of operations.
Our reliance on ICs to provide transportation services to our customers could limit our expansion.
Our transportation services are conducted in part by ICs, who are generally responsible for paying for their own equipment, fuel, and other operating costs. Our ICs are responsible for providing the tractors and generally the trailers they use related to our business. Certain factors such as increases in fuel costs, insurance costs and the cost of new and used tractors, reduced financing sources available to ICs for the purchase of equipment, or the impact of CSA and hours-of-service rules could create a difficult operating environment for ICs. Turnover and bankruptcy among ICs in the over-the-road freight sector often limit the pool of qualified ICs and increase the competition among carriers for their services. If we are required to increase the amounts paid to ICs in order to obtain their services, our results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent increased expenses are not offset by higher freight rates. Additionally, our agreements with our ICs are terminable by either party upon short notice and without penalty. Consequently, we regularly need to recruit qualified ICs to replace those who have left our pool. If we are unable to retain our existing ICs or recruit new ICs, our results of operations and ability to expand our business could be adversely affected.
Our third-party carriers must meet our needs and expectations, and those of our customers, and their inability to do so could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our business depends to a large extent on our ability to provide consistent, high quality, technology-enabled transportation and logistics solutions. We generally do not own or control the transportation assets that deliver our customers' freight, and we generally do not employ the people directly involved in delivering the freight. We rely on third parties to provide less-than-truckload, truckload and intermodal brokerage, and domestic and international air services and to report certain information to us, including information relating to delivery status and freight claims. This reliance could cause delays in providing our customers with timely delivery of freight and important service data, as well as in the financial reporting of certain events, including recognizing revenue and recording claims. If we are unable to secure sufficient transportation services to meet our customer commitments, or if any of the third parties we rely on do not meet our needs or expectations, or those of our customers, our results of operations could be adversely affected, and our customers could switch to our competitors temporarily or permanently.
If our ICs are deemed by regulators to be employees, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Tax and other regulatory authorities have in the past sought to assert that ICs in the trucking industry are employees rather than ICs. There can be no assurance that these authorities will not successfully assert this position against us or that tax and other laws that currently consider these persons ICs will not change. If our ICs are determined to be our employees, we would incur additional exposure under federal and state tax, workers' compensation, unemployment benefits, labor, employment, and tort laws, including for prior periods, as well as potential liability for employee benefits, tax withholdings, and penalties and interest. Our business model relies on the fact that our ICs are ICs and not deemed to be our employees, and exposure to any of the above factors could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our financial results may be adversely impacted by potential future changes in accounting practices.
Future changes in accounting standards or practices, and related legal and regulatory interpretations of those changes, may adversely impact public companies in general, the transportation industry, or our operations specifically. New accounting standards or requirements, such as a conversion from GAAP to International Financial Reporting Standards, could change the way we record revenues, expenses, assets, and/or liabilities or could be costly to implement. These types of regulations could have a negative impact on our financial position, liquidity, results of operations, and/or access to capital.
If we are unable to maintain and enhance our technology systems, demand for our services and our revenue could decrease.
Our business relies on our technology systems to track and store externally and internally generated market data, analyze the capabilities of our carrier network, and recommend cost-effective carriers in the appropriate transportation mode. To keep pace with changing technologies and customer demands in the future, we must correctly interpret and address market trends and enhance the features and functionality of our technology systems in response to these trends. We may be unable to implement the appropriate features and functionality of our technology systems in a timely and cost-effective manner, which could result in decreased demand for our services and a corresponding decrease in our revenue.
In addition, we have become increasingly reliant on our technology systems for our operations as well as providing services to our customers. Although we have implemented redundant systems and network security measures, our technology systems remain susceptible to outages, computer viruses, break-ins, and similar disruptions. Such an event could inhibit our ability to provide services to our customers and the ability of our customers to access our systems. In addition, there could be a loss of confidential information, corruption of data, and damage to our brand. This may result in a reduction in demand for our services or the loss of customers that could have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Seasonal sales fluctuations and weather conditions could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
The transportation industry is subject to seasonal sales fluctuations as shipments are generally lower during and after the winter holiday season. The productivity of our carriers historically decreases during the winter season because companies have the tendency to reduce their shipments during that time and inclement weather can impede operations. At the same time, our operating expenses could increase because harsh weather can lead to increased accident frequency rates and increased claims. If we were to experience lower-than-expected revenue during any such period, our expenses may not be offset, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
Terrorist attacks, anti-terrorism measures, and war could have broad detrimental effects on our business operations.
As a result of the potential for terrorist attacks, federal, state, and municipal authorities have implemented and continue to follow various security measures, including checkpoints and travel restrictions on large trucks. Such measures may reduce the productivity of our ICs or increase the costs associated with their operations, which we could be forced to bear. For example, security measures imposed at bridges, tunnels, border crossings, and other points on key trucking routes may cause delays and increase the non-driving time of our ICs, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. War, risk of war, or a terrorist attack also may have an adverse effect on the economy. A decline in economic activity could adversely affect our revenues or restrict our future growth. Instability in the financial markets as a result of terrorism or war also could impact our ability to raise capital. In addition, the insurance premiums charged for some or all of the coverage currently maintained by us could increase dramatically or such coverage could be unavailable in the future.
Our TL business derives a portion of its revenues from inventory management, the loss of which could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
A portion of our TL business is involved with inventory and freight management for customers whose products are shipped to a limited number of big box retailers. Should these big box retailers change their supply chain practices and direct our customers to deliver product via another source, such change could have a negative impact on our TL business.
Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, and our failure to raise capital when needed could prevent us from achieving our growth objectives.
We may in the future be required to raise capital through public or private financing or other arrangements. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could harm our business. Additional equity financing may dilute the interests of our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and could reduce our profitability. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to grow our business or respond to competitive pressures.
Our total assets include goodwill and intangibles. If we determine that these items have become impaired in the future, our earnings could be adversely affected.
As of June 30, 2013, we had recorded goodwill of $459.8 million and intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, of $14.4 million. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of a business acquired. Goodwill and other intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently, if indicators of impairment exist. If the impairment evaluations for goodwill and intangible assets indicate the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Our annual impairment evaluations of goodwill were performed as of July 1, 2012 and 2011, and it was determined that there was no impairment of the recorded balances.
If we are unable to expand the number of our sales representatives, or if a significant number of our existing sales representatives leave us, our ability to increase our revenue could be negatively impacted.
Our ability to expand our business will depend, in part, on our ability to attract additional sales representatives and brokerage agents. Competition for qualified sales representatives can be intense, and we may be unable to attract such persons. Any difficulties we experience in expanding the number of our sales representatives could have a negative impact on our ability to expand our customer base, increase our revenue, and continue our growth.
In addition, we must retain our current sales representatives and properly incentivize them to obtain new customers and maintain existing customer relationships. If a significant number of our sales representatives leave us, our revenue could be negatively impacted. A significant increase in the turnover rate among our current sales representatives could also increase our recruiting costs and decrease our operating efficiency.
The market value of our common stock may fluctuate and could be substantially affected by various factors.
The price of our common stock on the NYSE constantly changes. We expect that the market price of our common stock will continue to fluctuate. Our share price may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, among others:
| |
• | actual or anticipated variations in earnings, financial or operating performance, or liquidity; |
| |
• | changes in analysts' recommendations or projections; |
| |
• | failure to meet analysts' projections; |
| |
• | general economic and capital market conditions; |
| |
• | announcements of developments related to our business; |
| |
• | operating and stock performance of other companies deemed to be peers; |
| |
• | actions by government regulators; |
| |
• | news reports of trends, concerns, and other issues related to us or our industry, including changes in regulations; and |
| |
• | other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section. |
Our common stock price may fluctuate significantly in the future, and these fluctuations may be unrelated to our performance. General market price declines or market volatility in the future could adversely affect the price of our common stock, and the current market price of our common stock may not be indicative of future market prices.
Our current principal stockholders continue to have significant influence over us, and they could delay, deter, or prevent a change of control or other business combination or otherwise cause us to take action with which you might not agree.
Investment funds affiliated with HCI Equity Partners, L.L.C. together beneficially own approximately 40.8% of our outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2013. In addition, three of our directors are affiliated with HCI Equity Partners, L.L.C. As a result, these stockholders will have significant influence over the election of our board of directors and our decision to enter into any corporate transaction and may have the ability to prevent any transaction that requires the approval of stockholders, regardless of whether or not other stockholders believe that such a transaction is in their own best interests. Such concentration of voting power could have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change of control or other business combination that might otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders or could limit the price that some investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. The interests of these stockholders may not always coincide with our interests as a company or the interests of our other stockholders. Accordingly, these stockholders could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that you would not approve or make decisions with which you may disagree.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, discourage a takeover, and adversely affect existing stockholders.
Our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain provisions that may make it more difficult or delay attempts by others to obtain control of our company, even when these attempts may be in the best interests of our stockholders. These include provisions limiting the stockholders' powers to remove directors or take action by written consent instead of at a stockholders' meeting. Our certificate of incorporation also authorizes our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock, which could have voting and conversion rights that adversely affect or dilute the voting power of the holders of common stock. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides for our board to be divided into three classes, serving staggered terms. The classified board provision could have the effect of discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us. Delaware law also imposes conditions on the voting of “control shares” and on certain business combination transactions with “interested stockholders.”
These provisions and others that could be adopted in the future could deter unsolicited takeovers or delay or prevent changes in our control or management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices. These provisions may also limit the ability of stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests.
