Section 2 – Financial Information

 

 

On October 17, 2024, the company issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the company’s press release dated October 17, 2024 announcing the company’s financial results for this period.

 

The press release also includes a discussion of operating revenue, net of fuel surcharge revenue; and operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue, with both amounts net of fuel surcharge revenue. The company provided these additional disclosures because management believes removing these items provide a more consistent basis for comparing results of operations from period to period. These financial measures in the press release have not been determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pursuant to Regulation G, the company has included a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. For the discussion of operating revenue, net of fuel surcharge revenue; and operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue, with both amounts net of fuel surcharge revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are operating revenue, and operating expenses divided by operating revenue, which are reconciled in the attached Exhibit 99.1.

 

The information contained in this report and the exhibit hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

The company expects to disclose the information contained in Exhibit 99.2, in whole or in part, and possibly with modifications, in connection with presentations to investors, analysts and others during 2024.

 

The company is furnishing the information contained in Exhibit 99.2 pursuant to Regulation FD and Item 7.01 of Form 8-K. The information in Exhibit 99.2 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosure.
