    Board of Directors

    BOARD OF DIRECTORS
    Director Independence
    10 of 11 Directors are Independent
    Ryder Truck border.jpg
    Independence Standards
    It is our policy that a substantial majority of the members of our Board, and all of the members of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Governance Committee and Finance Committee, qualify as independent under the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") corporate governance listing standards.
    To assist in making independence determinations, our Board has adopted director independence standards, which are included as part of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and are available on our Investors website, at https://investors.ryder.com. Our director independence standards set forth certain transactions or relationships that the Board has determined will not, by themselves, be deemed to create a material relationship for the purpose of determining director independence. However, the Board will consider all relationships and transactions with our directors, even those that meet these standards, to determine whether the particular facts or circumstances of the relationship or transaction would impair the director's independence.
    2024 Independence Review
    The Board determined that each director of our Board (other than our Board Chair and CEO, Mr. Sanchez) is independent. To determine director independence, an evaluation of director questionnaires that ask about any relationships with the Company is performed. This evaluation is conducted in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines and is designed to identify and evaluate any transactions or relationships between a director or any member of the director's immediate family and the Company or members of our senior management.
    In connection with its evaluation of director independence, our Board identified and reviewed transactions that occurred during 2024 between Ryder and companies where our directors or family members of our directors serve as officers. Additionally, the Board reviewed charitable donations and contributions made by the Company to tax-exempt organizations where our directors serve as a trustee or director.
    Based on its independence review, the Board determined that each of the following directors (which together constitute all members of the Board other than Mr. Sanchez) is independent: Robert J. Eck, Robert A. Hagemann, Michael F. Hilton, Tamara L. Lundgren, Luis P. Nieto, Jr., David G. Nord, Abbie J. Smith, E. Follin Smith, Dmitri L. Stockton and Charles M. Swoboda. No family relationships exist among our directors and executive officers.

During our 2024 engagement, members of our management team and our Lead Independent Director, as applicable, met with shareholders representing approximately 25% of our outstanding shares. These shareholders expressed support for our Company's performance, governance structures and sustainability reporting, among other topics. Upon considering shareholder feedback, among other factors, we enhanced our CSR disclosures regarding employee engagement, training and development. In June, Ryder hosted an Investor Day during which management interacted directly with shareholders regarding our governance, performance and short- and long-term strategy.
    Shareholder Communications with the Board. Shareholders and other interested parties can communicate with our independent directors as a group through an external toll-free hotline number at 1-800-815-2830 (7 days a week/24 hours a day), through the Governance page in the Investors area of our website, at https://investors.ryder.com, or by mailing their communication to: Ryder System, Inc., Attention: Independent Directors, c/o Corporate Secretary, 6000 Windward Parkway, Alpharetta, GA 30005.

Any individual may communicate concerns about any of these matters confidentially to any supervisor or manager, the Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, the Vice President of Internal Audit or the Chief Compliance Officer, or on a confidential or anonymous basis by way of a third party toll-free hotline number (1-800-815-2830), web-based portal (helpline.ryder.com), e-mail ([email protected]), or via e-mail to members of our Audit Committee ([email protected]). These reporting mechanisms are publicized in the Investors area of our website, at https://investors.ryder.com, in our Principles of Business Conduct, through in-person and online compliance training, and location posters. Upon receipt of a complaint or concern, a determination will be made about whether it pertains to accounting, internal control, financial improprieties or auditing matters. A summary of all complaints received are reported to the Audit Committee at each regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting. Matters requiring immediate attention are promptly forwarded to the Chair of the Audit Committee.

    Board of Directors

    BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE
    Ryder combines the positions of Board Chair and CEO. Ryder believes that the CEO, as a Company executive, is in the best position to fulfill the Chair's responsibilities, including identifying emerging issues, communicating essential information about Company strategy and performance, and proposing agendas for Board meetings. To enhance the leadership structure of the Board, Ryder also utilizes the role of a strong Lead Independent Director to facilitate and strengthen the Board's independent oversight of Company performance, strategy, succession planning and effective governance standards. Ryder's Corporate Governance Guidelines establish that Board members must appoint a Lead Independent Director every five years, although the Board may deviate from this cycle if it determines it is in the best interests of the Company. Since May 2020, Robert J. Eck has served as the Company's Lead Independent Director.
    The Lead Independent Director's duties include the following:
    4Call meetings of the Board or of the independent directors, as necessary
    4
    Review and approve meeting agendas for the Board, in collaboration with the Chair and CLO/Corporate Secretary, incorporating feedback on topics requested by the independent directors
    4Request and preview information sent to the Board, as necessary
    4
    Serve as liaison between the Board and management and obtain the materials and information the Board may need
    4
    Serve as liaison between the Board Chair and independent directors, and work with the Board Chair to make sure all director viewpoints are considered and that decisions are appropriately made
    4
    Preside at all Board meetings at which the Board Chair is not present, including outside director sessions of the independent directors (which are held at every regular meeting)
    4
    Consult with shareholders on their concerns and expectations, as appropriate
    4Engage with other independent directors to identify matters for discussion at outside director sessions
    4Oversee annual CEO evaluation
    4
    Oversee the Board's annual evaluation process and the search process for new director candidates
    BOARD COMMITTEES
    The Board has four standing committees: Audit, Compensation, Governance and Finance. Each committee evaluates its performance annually. The table below provides 2024 meeting information for each committee and current membership:
    Committee Meetings in 2024.jpg
    The specific powers and responsibilities of the committees are set forth in more detail in their charters, which are available on the Governance page in the Investors area of our website, at https://investors.ryder.com.
    BOARD MEETINGS
    The Board held five regular meetings in 2024. Each of the directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and committees on which the director served in 2024. Our independent directors meet in outside director sessions without management present at each regularly scheduled Board meeting, and our Lead Independent Director presides over these sessions. All of our directors attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. We expect all of our directors to attend our 2025 Annual Meeting.

    Corporate Governance and
    Nominating Committee

    In identifying individuals to nominate for election to our Board, the Governance Committee seeks candidates who:
    4Have a high level of personal integrity and exercise sound business judgement;
    4Are highly accomplished, with superior credentials, recognition and strong senior leadership experience in their respective fields;
    4
    Contribute to the mix of experiences, perspectives and backgrounds on the Board;
    4
    Have relevant expertise and experience that is valuable to the business of the Company and its long-term strategy, goals and initiatives;
    4Have an understanding of, and concern for, the interests of our shareholders; and
    4Have sufficient time to devote to fulfilling their obligations as directors.
    Board Skills Matrix. The Governance Committee uses a board skills matrix to assist them in identifying the skills, experiences, expertise and backgrounds that will contribute to the Company. When identifying desired director candidate traits, the Governance Committee considers skills that it expects will enhance the Board's composition or that may become underrepresented as a result of Board turnover. The Governance Committee reviews and updates the matrix regularly, with input from all directors, to ensure director skills continue to align with and support the Company's strategy. For more information regarding select skills and experiences the Governance Committee has identified as relevant to the Company, see "Key Facts About Our Board" on page 18.
    Board Composition. The Board seeks to maintain an experienced, effective, well-rounded and collaborative Board that exemplifies sound judgment and integrity and believes that diversity is one of many important considerations in board composition. When evaluating potential director candidates, the Governance Committee considers a diverse slate of candidates who bring a broad range of experiences to the Board and generate a variety of innovative ideas and perspectives.
    Retention of Experienced Director Search Firms. Generally, the Governance Committee retains experienced director search firms that use their extensive resources and networks to find individuals who meet the qualifications established by the Board.
    Shareholders Recommending a Director Candidate to the Governance Committee. Shareholders that want to recommend a director candidate must deliver certain information to the Governance Committee, including the candidate's statement of willingness to serve; a representation that the shareholder owns shares of Ryder common stock, and a statement that the shareholder intends to continue holding those shares until the relevant Annual Meeting of Shareholders; and a representation regarding the shareholder's direct and indirect relationship to the candidate. This information should be delivered to:
    Ryder System, Inc.
    Attention: Corporate Secretary
    6000 Windward Parkway
    Alpharetta, GA 30005
    This information must be delivered to the Governance Committee no earlier than 120 days and no later than 90 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the prior year's Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Any candidate properly recommended by a shareholder will be considered and evaluated in the same way as any other candidate. Upon receipt of this information, the Governance Committee will review the candidate's qualifications, skills and characteristics in light of the current composition of the Board and may request additional information. If the Governance Committee determines that the individual would be a suitable director candidate, the candidate will be asked to meet with members of the Board and senior management, as appropriate, including our CEO.
    Based on the Governance Committee's discussions, the Governance Committee recommends nominees for election to the Board, and the Board will nominate a slate of directors for election by our shareholders at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders (or, if filling a vacancy between annual meetings, the Board will elect a nominee to serve on the Board). Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, each incumbent director nominee must agree to tender their resignation for consideration by the Board if the director fails to receive the required number of votes for re-election in accordance with the By-Laws.

    Governance Committee Review
    2Open Dialogue Sessions3Thorough Review of Results
    Governance Committee periodically reviews the format of the Board and committee evaluation process to ensure that actionable feedback is solicited on the performance of the Board and committees.

    RISK MANAGEMENT
    The Board's Role in Risk Oversight
    We understand that risk is present in our everyday business, and that risk-taking may be necessary to grow and operate a business and to preserve and enhance long-term shareholder value. As a result, we maintain an enterprise risk management ("ERM") program to provide management and the Board with a robust and holistic view of key risks facing Ryder.
    ERM is a Company-wide initiative that involves both the Board and Ryder's management. The program is designed to (i) identify various risks faced by the organization, (ii) assign individual management executives the responsibility of managing those risks, and (iii) align those management assignments with appropriate board-level oversight. Our CLO/Corporate Secretary and CFO supervise the program, and our Chief Compliance Officer and Vice President of Internal Audit manage its operation. The executive leadership team, including our CEO, and Ryder's Corporate Risk Steering Committee, comprised of department leaders and subject matter experts, are responsible for identifying, managing and mitigating risks. External experts are also asked to provide guidance as necessary. Significant risks are communicated to the Board, which ultimately oversees the program both directly and indirectly through the Audit, Compensation, Governance and Finance Committees.
    As part of the Board's risk evaluation, the Board reviews, at least annually, an ERM report from the CLO/Corporate Secretary, Chief Compliance Officer and Vice President of Internal Audit that (i) identifies the Company's risks, including detailed analysis of the likelihood of occurrence and potential impact of each risk, and (ii) explains the elements and process for risk identification. Annually, the Board and the committees conduct individual, in-depth reviews of the Company's key risks identified in the ERM report. In addition, at regularly scheduled Board meetings, the Board reviews risks identified through our ERM program, and discusses with management the most significant risks. The Board also reviews an internal audit report from the Vice President of Internal Audit at least annually that includes internal audit's review of risks and audit activities to evaluate the controls and processes regarding such risks.
    The primary areas of risk overseen by the Board and its committees are summarized on the next page. These areas include those formally monitored as part of Ryder's ERM program or pursuant to committee charters. The risks listed do not represent an exhaustive list of all risks faced by Ryder or that are considered and addressed from time to time by the Board and its committees.

    Risk Management

    Although Ryder's ERM program is structured with formal processes, it remains flexible to adjust to changing economic, business and regulatory developments and is founded on clear lines of communication to the leadership team and the Board. In addition, the Company commissions an external assessment of its ERM program, as needed, to ensure it is in line with industry practices and that it effectively identifies, monitors and mitigates enterprise-wide risks. For more information on risks that affect our business, please see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings we make with the SEC.

    Related Person Transactions
    RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
    No Related Person Transactions in 2024
    Ryder Truck border.jpg
    In accordance with our Policies and Procedures Relating to Related Person Transactions ("Related Person Policy") adopted by our Board, all "related person transactions" are subject to prior review and approval by the Governance Committee. The Related Person Policy is in addition to, not in lieu of, the requirements relating to conflicts of interest in our Principles of Business Conduct. Copies of both policies are available in the Investors area of our website, at https://investors.ryder.com. For purposes of the Related Person Policy, and consistent with Item 404 of Regulation S-K, a "related person transaction" is:
    •Any transaction in which Ryder or a subsidiary of ours is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and a "related person" has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction or in any material amendment to such transaction.
    •"Related persons" are our executive officers, directors, nominees for director, any person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, and any person sharing the household of such executive officer, director, nominees for director or any beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities.
    Our Principles of Business Conduct require that directors and executive officers report any actual or potential conflicts of interest to the Company, including potential related person transactions. In addition, each director and executive officer annually completes and signs a questionnaire confirming there are no material relationships or related person transactions between such individuals and the Company, other than those previously disclosed. This ensures that all material relationships and related person transactions are identified, reviewed and disclosed in accordance with applicable policies and regulations. Based on this information, we review the Company's internal records and conduct follow-up inquiries as necessary to identify potentially reportable transactions. A report summarizing such transactions is then provided to the Governance Committee.
    The Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing and determining whether to approve related person transactions. In considering whether to approve a related person transaction, the Governance Committee considers the following factors, to the extent relevant:
    •Whether the terms of the related person transaction are fair to us and on the same basis as would apply if the transaction did not involve a related person;
    •Whether there are business reasons for us to enter into the related person transaction;
    •Whether the related person transaction would impair the independence of an outside director; and
    •Whether the related person transaction would present an improper conflict of interest for any of our directors or executive officers, taking into account the size of the transaction, the overall financial position of the director, executive officer or related person, the direct or indirect nature of the director's, executive officer's or related person's interest in the transaction and the ongoing nature of any proposed relationship, and any other factors the Governance Committee deems relevant.
    Any member of the Governance Committee who has an interest in the related person transaction must abstain from voting on the approval of the transaction. Although such member would normally be excused from any discussions relating to the transaction, the Governance Committee Chair has the authority to request that such member participate in some or all of the Committee's discussions.
    There were no related person transactions during 2024.

    Election of Directors
    (Proposal 1)

    Board Composition and Refreshment
    The Board reviews its composition regularly to ensure director skills align with and support the Company's strategy. We strive to maintain a robust and well-rounded Board that reflects a myriad of personal and professional backgrounds, and that balances the institutional knowledge of tenured directors with the fresh perspectives of new members. In addition, three of our independent directors are women, and three directors are diverse by race or ethnicity.
    Board Tenure and Diversity.jpg
    The Board does not believe that express limits on a director's tenure are currently appropriate, and values the increasing contribution of directors who, over time, have developed deeper insight into the Company and its operations. However, to encourage appropriate refreshment and the continued qualification of our Board members, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for review of a director's continuation of Board service each time the director is up for re-election.
    Other Policies and Practices Related to Director Service
    Limits on Other Directorships. To ensure our directors have adequate time to serve on our Board, we permit service on no more than four other public company boards (or two other public company boards for our CEO/Chair). Each director is within these thresholds. We have determined that each director nominee has adequate time to devote to service on our Board and provide valuable service to the Company in his or her role as a director.
    Board and Committee Meeting Attendance Requirements. Directors are expected to regularly attend Board and committee meetings. Directors who fail to attend 75% or more of our Board and committee meetings for two consecutive years must submit a letter of resignation, which the Board will determine whether to accept, taking into account the recommendation of the Governance Committee. All of our directors met the meeting attendance requirements in 2024.
    Resignation upon Change in Status. The Board also requires directors to submit a letter of resignation upon a substantial change in the nature of the director's employment or other significant responsibilities since the time of his or her election. The Board, upon review and recommendation by the Governance Committee, will determine whether the circumstances are consistent with the criteria for Board membership and whether it is appropriate for the director to continue service on the Board.
    Impairment of Ability to Serve. A director who experiences any other change in circumstances that may impair their ability to effectively serve on the Board, or that could result in negative attention to the Company or director, is required to immediately notify the Company and may be asked by the Board to submit a letter of resignation.
    Each director's principal occupation and other pertinent information about their particular experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills that led the Board to conclude that such person should serve as a director appears on the following pages.
    If you are a beneficial shareholder and do not give your nominee instructions, your nominee does not have the ability to vote in favor of or against the director nominees. We therefore urge you to return your proxy card and vote your shares on this proposal.
    The Board recommends a vote FOR Proposal 1 (the election of each director nominee).

    Ratification of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm
    (Proposal 2)
    PROPOSAL NO. 2
    RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
    The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent registered certified public accounting firm retained to audit our consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee has re-appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Ryder's independent registered public accounting firm (the "Accounting Firm") for the year ending December 31, 2025. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has audited our consolidated financial statements continuously since 2006. The Audit Committee engages in a thorough annual evaluation of the Accounting Firm's qualifications, performance and independence, and is also responsible for approving the services and audit fees associated with the retention of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
    The Audit Committee and Board believe that the continued retention of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as our Accounting Firm is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In re-appointing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as our Accounting Firm for 2025, the Audit Committee considered a number of factors, including:
    •The quality of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's work product and performance;
    •The professional qualifications of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the lead engagement partner and other members of the audit team;
    •PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's knowledge and experience with the Company's business operations, accounting policies and industry;
    •The results of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") review of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP;
    •PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's independence program and controls for maintaining independence;
    •The appropriateness of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's audit fees; and
    •The results of the Audit Committee's and management's annual evaluation of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's qualifications, performance and independence, and the potential impact of selecting a different independent registered certified public accounting firm.
    Although shareholder ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not required, the Board believes that submitting the appointment to shareholders for ratification is a matter of good corporate governance. The Audit Committee will consider the outcome of this vote in future deliberations regarding the appointment of our Accounting Firm, and has discretion to change the appointment at any time if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.
    Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to respond to appropriate questions and to make a statement if they desire to do so.

    Audit Committee Report
    AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
    The Audit Committee is comprised of five outside directors, all of whom are independent under the rules of the NYSE, our director independence standards and applicable rules of the SEC. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that specifies the Committee's responsibilities. The full text of the Audit Committee's charter is available on the Governance page in the Investors area of our website, at https://investors.ryder.com. The Audit Committee members are not auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the Accounting Firm.
    The Audit Committee oversees Ryder's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Ryder's management is responsible for preparing the consolidated financial statements, establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, and assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Ryder's Accounting Firm is responsible for performing an integrated audit of Ryder's annual consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the year in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, and expressing opinions on (i) whether the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of Ryder in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and (ii) whether Ryder maintained effective internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in "Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Annual Report with management, as well as management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, including a discussion of the quality of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.
    The Audit Committee reviewed with the Accounting Firm its judgments as to the quality of Ryder's accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the rules of the SEC. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed the independence of the Accounting Firm, reviewed written disclosures and a letter from the Accounting Firm regarding independence, and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the independence of the Accounting Firm.
    The Audit Committee also discussed with Ryder's internal auditor and the Accounting Firm the overall scope and results of their respective audits, their evaluations of Ryder's internal control, and the overall quality of Ryder's financial reporting. These discussions took place with and without the presence of management.
    In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements and management's assessment of the effectiveness of Ryder's internal control over financial reporting be included in the 2024 Annual Report, filed by Ryder with the SEC. The Audit Committee has also approved, subject to shareholder ratification, the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Ryder's independent registered certified public accounting firm for the 2025 fiscal year.
    Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board.

    2024 Company Performance Highlights
    In 2024, the Company continued executing its balanced growth strategy, delivering strong comparable EPS* (a non-GAAP financial measure) of $12.00 and ROE* (a non-GAAP financial measure) of 16%. Our management team successfully executed various initiatives to increase long-term profitability and delivered strong returns demonstrating the resilience of our transformed business model in a challenging freight environment.
    We saw double-digit earnings growth in our contractual businesses, and management continued to return cash to our shareholders in the form of dividends, execute share repurchases, and maintain leverage below our target range. We believe progress on our initiatives positions us well for future revenue and earnings growth. The increase in our stock price during the year, from a year-end price of $115.06 in 2023 to a year-end price of $156.86 in 2024, as well as our three-year TSR of 106%, well above the respective three-year TSR of S&P 400 MidCap companies, reflect investors' confidence in our ability to execute on our strategy to drive continued strong earnings.
    * Comparable EPS and ROE are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, as well as the reasons why management believes these measures are useful to shareholders, refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" on page 42 of our 2024 Annual Report.

    Compensation Discussion and Analysis

    Ryder Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
    Our primary goal is to design compensation programs that will attract, retain and motivate high-quality executives who possess a broad range of skills and talents that will contribute to achieving Ryder's strategic objectives and increasing long-term shareholder value. We believe these compensation programs, together with a workplace culture that drives engagement, accountability and integrity, best position Ryder to achieve profitable growth, innovation, operational excellence, and customer and employee satisfaction.
    Our compensation program has three key goals:
    4
    Attracting and Retaining Talent
    Deliver market competitive compensation that attracts high-impact talent and encourages long-term retention
    4
    Encouraging Shareholder Alignment
    Tie a significant portion of executive compensation to Company performance to align the interests of our executives with our shareholders, as follows:
    •Drive company performance by setting targets that will promote long-term, sustainable and profitable growth, with appropriate risk-taking
    •Encourage long-term shareholder value creation
    4
    Rewarding Individual Performance
    Recognize individual performance and contributions to Ryder
    2024 Executive Compensation Program Structure
    The 2024 compensation structure for our NEOs emphasizes "at-risk" compensation that is earned upon achievement of performance goals and that may be influenced by share performance. The actual compensation mix and value for each NEO may vary based on job responsibility, experience, market compensation, individual performance, tenure, long-term potential, succession planning and strategic needs.
    The chart below illustrates the Company's commitment to our pay-for-performance philosophy and shareholder alignment, as approximately 89% of our CEO's target total direct compensation in 2024 was "at risk," with a significant portion subject to long-term performance goals.
    In 2025, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") plans to continue focusing on overall shareholder alignment with a suite of metrics that incentivize long-term shareholder value.

    Suite of Compensation Metrics
    The following chart illustrates the elements and design of Ryder's executive compensation program in 2024.
    Suite of Compensation Metrics 2024.jpg
    * In the case of Messrs. Sanchez, Diez and Fatovic, the comparable EBITDA and operating revenue metrics are based on RSI comparable EBITDA and operating revenue. In the case of Messrs. Havens (President of FMS) and Sensing (President of SCS/DTS), the comparable EBITDA metric is composed of 30% RSI comparable EBITDA and 30% FMS or SCS/DTS division comparable EBITDA, as applicable, and the operating revenue metric is based on FMS or SCS/DTS division operating revenue, as applicable.
    The chart below further explains the components of our 2024 compensation program, how they align with our strategy, and how the Committee determined compensation levels for 2024.

    Base Salary
    Base salary is the sole fixed component of an executive's total direct compensation. In determining base salary, the Committee considers the factors on page 33 without assigning any specific weight to any individual factor. In 2024, in connection with our benchmarking analysis, the following base salary increases were made for each of our NEOs, effective January 1, 2024: 3% for Messrs. Sanchez, Diez, Sensing and Havens; and 4% for Mr. Fatovic.
    2024 Annual Incentive Plan ("AIP") Metrics, Targets and Results
    2024 AIP Metrics
    Our 2024 annual cash incentive awards were designed at the beginning of the year to reflect both Company and division business performance. In structuring our ACIAs, in February 2024, the Committee set target payout opportunities for each executive. For 2024, the target AIP payout opportunity for each of our NEOs was as follows: 170% of base salary for Mr. Sanchez, and 100% of base salary for Messrs. Diez, Sensing, Havens and Fatovic.
    The 2024 AIP was comprised of the same metrics, and respective weights, as the 2023 AIP. The 2024 AIP strongly emphasized comparable EBITDA and maintained a focus on revenue growth and strategic objectives that align with the Company's overall strategy. Each metric of the 2024 AIP has a payout range of 0% to 200%. The chart below further explains the design of our 2024 AIP for each of our NEOs:

    As shown in the previous chart, the comparable EBITDA metric had a weight of 60%, which further aligns executive compensation with the Company's operating performance, and the operating revenue metric had a weight of 20% in order to continue to incentivize growth. In the case of Messrs. Sanchez, Diez and Fatovic, the comparable EBITDA and operating revenue portions of their AIP incorporate Company-wide performance. In the case of Messrs. Havens (President of FMS) and Sensing (President of SCS/DTS), the comparable EBITDA portion of their AIP incorporates both the Company's and their respective business divisions' performance, and the operating revenue portion exclusively reflects their respective business divisions' performance.

    Compensation Discussion and Analysis

    The strategic objectives have a weight of 20% in the AIP and require a minimum RSI comparable EBITDA financial performance threshold in order to earn any portion of the strategic objective metric. As shown in the chart below, each of the Company's businesses have strategic objectives tailored to their respective divisions, with the objectives for the centralized corporate group, including the CEO, reflecting a combination of objectives from each business division. To determine the payout of the strategic objectives, the Committee evaluates the outcome of each milestone and holistically determines overall achievement using a multi-point scale to determine a payout percentage between 0% to 200%. No individual strategic objective is weighted or assigned greater significance than another. After determining a payout percentage, the Committee determines the outcome of the strategic objectives.

    2024 AIP Metrics Definitions
    Comparable EBITDA*
    (a non-GAAP financial measure)
    Represents net earnings, first adjusted to exclude discontinued operations and the following items, all from continuing operations: (i) non-operating pension costs, net and (ii) any other items that are not representative of our ongoing business operations (these items are the same items that are excluded from comparable earnings measures for the relevant periods as described under comparable earnings measures in our SEC filings), and then adjusted further for (a) interest expense, (b) income taxes, (c) depreciation, (d) used vehicle sales results and (e) amortization. Comparable EBITDA incentivizes management to optimize operations whether the economic cycle is negative or positive and is also more reflective of the Company's operating profitability. While the market prices for used vehicles continue to impact compensation (via the LTIP payouts), the Committee determined that a metric more closely aligned with improved operating performance was valuable in the collective suite of incentive compensation metrics and that the best place for this metric was in the annual incentive plan.
    Operating Revenue*
    (a non-GAAP financial measure)
    Represents total revenue excluding any (i) fuel and (ii) subcontracted transportation. We exclude fuel and subcontracted transportation as these costs are largely pass-through to our customers, thus fluctuations generally minimally impact our profitability. The operating revenue used by the Committee is consistent with the operating revenue reported in Company press releases and public presentations. Operating revenue is intended to measure progress towards strategic and operational goals.
    Strategic Objectives
    Represents alignment with the strategic plan and the expectation that attainment of each strategic objective will have occurred in 2024. A minimum threshold of comparable EBITDA financial performance must be achieved in order to payout the strategic objectives. In the case of Messrs. Sanchez, Diez and Fatovic, the strategic objectives reflect initiatives from each business division (FMS, SCS and DTS), and in the case of Messrs. Havens and Sensing, the strategic objectives reflect the strategic goals of their respective business divisions. Please refer to the chart above titled "2024 Strategic Objectives" for further information.
    * Comparable EBITDA and operating revenue are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, as well as the reasons why these measures are useful to shareholders, refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" on page 42 of our 2024 Annual Report.

    2024 AIP Targets and Results
    In 2024, management continued to execute the Company's balanced growth strategy, strengthening the Company's financial and strategic position as a leading provider of outsourced logistics and transportation services. Under the skilled leadership of our management team, during a challenging freight environment, Ryder generated strong financial results, including comparable EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) of $2.8 billion and operating revenue (a non-GAAP financial measure) of $10.3 billion.
    Upon review of the Company's performance associated with each of the strategic objectives, the Committee determined that the minimum comparable EBITDA performance metric was achieved and that the outcome of the strategic objectives for each of CEO/Corporate, FMS and SCS/DTS was "successful." Ryder's 2024 earnings results reflect strong lease returns from ongoing ChoiceLease pricing initiatives, benefits from our multi-year maintenance initiative, positive feedback from customers on our customer engagement survey, and successful deployment of our flexible dedicated operating model. In addition, we successfully integrated our acquisitions of Impact Fulfillment Services and Cardinal Logistics. These acquisitions further accelerate growth in our asset light businesses which we expect to contribute to long-term shareholder value.

    2024 AIP Earned Amounts for NEOs
    The Committee reviews the initial payout calculation for each NEO, using the methodology described above. While the AIP does not include an individual performance metric, the Committee retains discretion to adjust the NEO's actual payout upwards or downwards. In determining whether to make any adjustments, the Committee considers the following qualitative factors as a whole: overall realized pay relative to performance and our goal of furthering the Company's strategic initiatives; internal leadership; business development and achievement of other business goals; risk management; talent development; progress on corporate responsibility goals, including environmental, social and governance matters; financial management; and legal, risk, regulatory and compliance management and results.
    Given the strong financial results that management achieved in 2024, the Committee determined to pay 2024 annual cash incentive awards consistent with the payout results above for each NEO and did not further adjust any awards. The following chart sets forth the earned 2024 ACIAs for each of our NEOs:

    2022-2024 LTIP (the "2022 LTIP") Metrics, Award Results and Payouts
    2022 LTIP Metrics
    Our 2022 LTIP awards were comprised of PBRSRs (60%) and TVRSRs (40%). PBRSRs granted to NEOs in 2022 could be earned based on the following performance metrics: (i) ROE (a non-GAAP financial measure), based on a three-year average ROE; (ii) strategic revenue growth, based on attainment of a three-year compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR"); and (iii) free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure), based on a three-year average. Each of the performance metrics weigh 33.3% of the PBRSRs, and 20% of the total LTIP, and have payout levels ranging from 0% to 200%. In addition, the 2022 LTIP included a TSR modifier that adjusts PBRSR payouts by up to 15%, either upward or downward, to reflect performance against a custom peer group, as further described below.
    At the beginning of the 2022-2024 three-year performance period, the Committee set performance targets intended to be attainable and challenging, taking into account the performance metrics that are important to the Company and shareholders as well as the expected economic conditions in markets that we wish to grow.

    Compensation Discussion and Analysis
    2022 LTIP Performance Metrics Calculation Methodology
    ROE*
    (a non-GAAP financial measure)
    Represents adjusted return on equity, which is calculated by dividing the Company's "adjusted net earnings" by the "adjusted average shareholders' equity" (each as defined below). The Company's adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude after-tax impact from other items that are not representative of our ongoing business operations. Adjusted average shareholders' equity means the Company's average shareholders' equity, adjusted to exclude the impact from any other items that are not representative of our ongoing business operations. ROE will be calculated at the end of each calendar year and averaged during the performance period. The Company's three-year ROE is determined by the Committee at the end of the performance period against a maximum, target and threshold three-year ROE. The Committee takes into account the Company's business plan when setting the three-year target. If the Company's three-year ROE falls above threshold and between the measuring points, the three-year ROE accrual percentage for the performance period will be determined proportionally between the measuring points. While ROE in any three-year period may be impacted by cyclical freight market conditions, including used vehicle sales results, the Committee believes a direct link to this shareholder metric is appropriate.
    Strategic Revenue Growth
    Represents the CAGR or contractual revenue from all business lines, transactional maintenance and all new product revenue (other than FMS revenue from FMS Canada and Europe, as the Company's strategy did not include growth in those markets). The Committee determines 2022-2024 strategic revenue CAGR at the end of the three-year performance period against a maximum, target and threshold three-year strategic revenue CAGR. The Committee considers the Company's business plan when setting the three-year target. If the 2022-2024 CAGR is above threshold and between measuring points, the 2022-2024 CAGR accrual percentage for the performance period will be determined proportionally between the measuring points. The Company believes that the 2022-2024 CAGR target is a rigorous measure of sustained strategic revenue growth.
    Free Cash Flow*
    (a non-GAAP financial measure)
    Represents the sum of (i) net cash provided by operating activities, (ii) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment, (iii) net cash provided by the sale of operating property and equipment, and (iv) other cash inflows from investing activities, less purchases of property and revenue earning equipment. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and for shareholders, after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. Free cash flow will be calculated at the end of each calendar year and averaged during the performance period. The Company's three-year free cash flow is determined by the Committee at the end of the performance period against a maximum, target and threshold three-year free cash flow.
    TSR
    Represents total shareholder return based on the Company's TSR relative to the TSR of the companies in our custom peer group. TSR is calculated based on the percentage change in a Company's stock price from the average closing price of the last ten trading days (prior to the beginning of the relevant performance period) to the average closing price of the last ten trading days (prior to the end of the relevant performance period), assuming reinvestment of dividends. The custom peer group for the 2022 LTIP consists of 26 companies: Ryder, the 13 companies in Ryder's 2022 Compensation Peer Group, and the 12 additional related companies that operate in the markets in which we compete and that are viewed as competitors for capital by investors. At the end of the three-year performance period, the companies in the custom peer group will be sorted by TSR performance, and the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles of the custom peer group are calculated. Ryder's TSR performance is compared to the TSR of the companies in the custom peer group. The number of accrued PBRSRs will then be adjusted upward or downward by a percentage based on the TSR relative percentile rank as shown below; provided, however, that (i) in no event will the TSR modifier adjustment result in payout of more than 200% of the target PBRSRs, and (ii) even if the Company's TSR rank is above the 50th percentile, no positive TSR modifier will be applied if the Company's absolute TSR is negative.
    * ROE and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, as well as the reasons why management believes these measures are useful to shareholders, refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" on page 42 and "Financial Resources and Liquidity" on page 34 of our 2024 Annual Report.
    2022 LTIP Award Results and Payouts
    The three-year performance period for our 2022 LTIP awards ended on December 31, 2024, and the Committee assessed performance in the first quarter of 2025. Over the course of the three-year performance period, despite a challenging freight environment in 2023 and 2024, the Company delivered strong financial results. The table on the next page summarizes performance for the PBRSRs for the 2022-2024 completed performance period.

    The Committee determined to use the same metrics and respective weights for the 2024 LTIP awards as those used for the 2023 LTIP awards: PBRSRs (60%) and TVRSRs (40%). The 2024 LTIP emphasizes a direct linkage to the shareholder experience and profitable three-year growth, and uses distinct metrics from those in the 2024 AIP. To determine the 2024 LTIP target values for each of our NEOs, the Committee considered a variety of factors, including overall compensation relative to peers and market benchmarks, as well as the NEO's role, performance, long-term potential and retention risk. The 2024 LTIP target values and allocation between PBRSRs and TVRSRs for each NEO are as follows:

    Compensation Discussion and Analysis

    PBRSRs. PBRSRs granted in 2024 vest at the end of a three-year performance period in 2026 and are earned based on the following performance metrics: (i) ROE (a non-GAAP financial measure), based on a three-year-average ROE target; (ii) strategic revenue growth, based on attainment of a three-year CAGR; and (iii) free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure), based on a three-year average. Each of the performance metrics weigh 33.3% of the PBRSRs, and 20% of the total LTIP, and have payout levels ranging from 0% to 200% of target. Each metric and its corresponding targets was determined at the start of the three-year period, and achievement will be measured at the end of the three-year period. In addition, the LTIP continues to include a TSR modifier that will impact the PBRSR payouts by up to 15%, positively or negatively, depending on Ryder's TSR relative to the TSR of a custom peer group. Even if Ryder's relative TSR is above the median, no positive TSR modifier will be applied if Ryder's absolute TSR is negative. In addition, the TSR modifier cannot increase the total payout of PBRSRs beyond 200%. The Committee has the discretion to adjust the results for these metrics to ensure that they properly reflect the achievement of participants in our LTIP during the performance period and are not impacted, positively or negatively, by factors that may be unanticipated, non-recurring or non-operational in nature. Dividend equivalents accrue on PBRSRs during the vesting period and are paid upon vesting.
    TVRSRs. TVRSRs under the LTIP vest in three equal, annual installments, subject to the NEO's continued employment, and are denominated and settled in stock. Dividend equivalents accrue on TVRSRs during the vesting period and are paid upon vesting.
    The Committee believes that our LTIP design creates significant and direct shareholder linkage. Both the PBRSRs and the TVRSRs have a direct link to the share price. For the PBRSRs, the ROE metric directly incents improving returns on shareholders' equity, and the relative TSR modifier further links payouts to relative stock price. The other PBRSR performance metrics of strategic revenue growth and free cash flow incent the profitable growth that we believe is necessary to drive increasing shareholder value over time.

    Peer Group
    The Committee references two groups of companies when establishing executive compensation: the Compensation Peer Group and the Additional Performance Peer Companies (together, the "2024 Relative TSR Group").
    •The Compensation Peer Group is a group of 13 companies of similar size and who are in similar industries. The pay of the NEOs at these companies serves as a reference point for determining target pay levels for our NEOs.
    •The Additional Performance Peer Companies includes a number of companies who are too large to serve as compensation peers for our NEOs, but whose stock price performance is a relevant benchmark for ours because they operate in markets in which we compete and are viewed as competitors for capital by investors.

    Executive Compensation Governance Practices
    Our executive compensation practices are intended to support the needs of our business, drive performance and ensure alignment with the short- and long-term interests of our shareholders.
    What We Do
    ü
    Directly link pay with company performance – 89% of the CEO's total target direct compensation is "at risk"
    ü
    Use discretion to align appropriate payouts to Company and individual performance
    üUse double-trigger change of control provisions for awards
    üProvide competitive severance and change in control amounts to ensure that NEOs act in the best interest of shareholders, rather than avoiding transactions that could result in termination of employment
    üUse three-year performance periods and targets for long-term performance metrics
    üEngage an independent compensation consultant
    üRegularly benchmark executive compensation against an appropriate peer group
    üMaintain robust stock ownership requirements
    üSubject performance-based incentive awards and severance payments to clawback policies
    ü
    Grant majority of pay in performance-based compensation that is not guaranteed
    üEngage in a robust target-setting process for incentive metrics
    ü
    Provide caps for incentive compensation
    What We Don't Do
    ûProvide employment agreements
    ûProvide tax gross-ups related to a change of control
    ûProvide excessive perquisites
    û
    Reprice underwater stock options or shareholder appreciation rights without shareholder approval
    ûPay dividends or dividend equivalents on unvested PBRSRs or TVRSRs
    ûPermit hedging transactions
    ûPermit pledging activity or use of margin accounts by executives or directors

    Compensation Discussion and Analysis

    Other Compensation Information
    Compensation Setting Process.
    The Committee is responsible for determining our executive compensation programs and practices. The Committee's independent compensation consultant, along with management, assists the Committee in making these determinations. Below is an explanation of (i) the key roles and responsibilities in setting executive compensation; (ii) the executive evaluation process; (iii) how competitive market data is integrated into the decision-making process; and (iv) how shareholder feedback is evaluated.
    Role of the Compensation Committee. The Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving, or recommending that the Board approve, all components of our executive compensation program, as well as the compensation program for our Board. New executive compensation plans and programs must be approved by the full Board based on recommendations made by the Committee. The Committee reviews and recommends the compensation of the CEO to the independent Board members for approval. After considering the CEO's assessment and recommendation for each NEO, the Committee also determines and approves the compensation of all other NEOs.
    Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant. FW Cook reports directly to the Committee on a regular basis and provides advice about our compensation program and design, including views on current compensation trends, best practices, peer comparisons, and recommendations and insights on making our executive compensation practices and structure more effective. During 2024, FW Cook also supported the Committee in evaluating enterprise and related risks associated with our executive compensation components and plans, as discussed under "Compensation Risks" on page 45, and provided advice regarding director compensation. In 2024, an FW Cook consultant attended all of the Committee meetings in person or by telephone and participated in independent director sessions without management present.
    The Committee annually reviews whether FW Cook's work as a compensation consultant raises any conflict of interest, taking into consideration: (i) the provision of other services to the Company by FW Cook; (ii) the amount of fees the Company paid to FW Cook, as a percentage of FW Cook’s total revenue; (iii) FW Cook's policies and procedures regarding conflicts of interest; (iv) any business or personal relationship of FW Cook's compensation advisers with an executive officer of the Company or any member of the Committee; and (v) any stock of the Company owned by FW Cook's compensation advisers. After review of this information, the Committee confirmed that FW Cook does no other work for the Company and determined that FW Cook is independent and that its work for the Company has not raised any conflict of interest.
    Role of Management. Our Chief Human Resources Officer, Vice President of Compensation and Benefits, Associate General Counsel and CEO, as necessary and appropriate, recommend agendas, prepare materials for review and attend Committee meetings. They also provide information regarding, and make recommendations about, designs for and changes to our executive compensation programs. Our CEO provides an assessment of each NEO's performance and recommends compensation actions for NEOs other than himself.
    Evaluating Performance. With respect to the compensation of NEOs other than our CEO, our CEO annually provides the Committee with a performance assessment of and compensation recommendations for each NEO. The performance assessment includes strengths, areas for development and succession potential, and is based on the CEO's evaluation of the NEO's individual performance. Our CEO also reviews each NEO's compensation history and current market compensation data.
    With respect to the CEO's compensation, at the end of each year, the independent directors conduct a performance review of the CEO. The CEO first provides the independent directors with a self-evaluation relative to his individual goals and objectives. Each independent director reviews these materials and completes a comprehensive evaluation questionnaire relating to the CEO's individual goals and objectives. In addition, the questionnaire focuses on the CEO's performance in developing and executing the Company's strategic initiatives, leadership of the Company and the Board, relations with stakeholders (including shareholders, customers and employees), and succession planning and talent development. The Governance Committee oversees the CEO evaluation process, including preparing the questionnaire.
    At the February Compensation Committee meeting, the Committee members discuss the results of the CEO's performance, without the CEO present, and formulate recommendations regarding CEO compensation. Then, in outside director session without the CEO present, the independent directors evaluate and discuss the CEO's performance and determine his compensation based on the results of his performance review and the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, in consultation with the Committee's compensation consultant. The Lead Independent Director and Chair of the Compensation Committee then provide feedback to the CEO on his performance.

    Compensation Discussion and Analysis

    Use of Benchmarking. The Committee compares our executive compensation program to that of our peers to help analyze its structure, the payout levels for executives, and to review our program's effectiveness in attracting and retaining talent.
    In evaluating each element of our executive compensation program, the Committee uses benchmark comparisons to peer groups and, particularly when appropriate peer group data is unavailable, to general industry survey data. While there are no public companies that provide the same mix of services as Ryder, the Committee references the Compensation Peer Group, which is a group of companies of similar size, that operate in similar industries, and which compete with Ryder for executive talent. The Committee does not design our executive compensation programs to fit within a specific percentile of the executive compensation programs of other companies comprising any particular peer group or survey. The Committee does consider the median compensation of similar executives at the peer companies, both for each compensation component and the total compensation package, as a reference in making compensation decisions. For a list of the companies comprising the 2024 Compensation Peer Group, please refer to page 41 of this proxy statement.
    Shareholder Feedback. The feedback we receive through our annual shareholder outreach program and our advisory votes on executive compensation ("Say-on-Pay") enhances our understanding of our shareholders' views. Our Board and senior management remain committed to transparent communication and engagement with our shareholders and take feedback into consideration when evaluating our compensation program design.
    We have ongoing conversations with many of our largest shareholders. Each year we reach out to our top shareholders, constituting at least a majority of our shares outstanding, to solicit feedback on various topics, including corporate governance practices and executive compensation, among others. During our 2024 engagement, shareholders expressed support for our compensation program. In addition to ongoing conversations and formal annual engagement, the Committee also considers the voting outcome of our Say-on-Pay proposals. Over the last three years, our Say-on-Pay proposals received strong support from our shareholders, with last year's proposal receiving over 95% support. The Committee believes the 2024 voting results reflect our shareholders' support of our overall executive compensation program. The Committee values the opinions of our shareholders and will continue to consider shareholder feedback and the outcomes of future Say-on-Pay votes when designing compensation programs and making compensation decisions for our NEOs. We currently hold a Say-on-Pay vote every year.

    Compensation Discussion and Analysis
    RETIREMENT AND WELFARE BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES
    Retirement Benefits. All NEOs who are employed with the Company are eligible to participate in the Company-wide 401(k) savings plan (the "401(k) Plan") and deferred compensation plan (the "DCP"). The 401(k) Plan and the DCP are described under the headings "Pension Benefits" and "2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation" beginning on page 49 of this proxy statement.
    The Company maintains a qualified pension plan (the "Retirement Plan") and a pension benefit restoration plan (the "Benefit Restoration Plan," collectively with the Retirement Plan, the "Pension Plans"), which any NEO who had joined the Company prior to January 1, 2007 was able to participate in. The Pension Plans were frozen for all participants as of December 31, 2007. Based on their age and tenure with Ryder, Messrs. Sanchez, Diez, Sensing, Havens and Fatovic did not meet the eligibility requirements to continue accruing benefits under the Pension Plans, and, as such, their pension benefits were frozen. The Pension Plans are described under the heading "Pension Benefits" on page 49 of this proxy statement.
    Health and Welfare Benefits. During 2024, our NEOs were eligible to participate in the following standard welfare benefit plans: medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage; Company-paid short- and long-term disability insurance; and paid vacation and holidays. In addition, the NEOs received the following additional welfare benefits which are not available to all salaried employees: (i) executive term life insurance coverage equal to three times the executive's current base salary (limited to an aggregate of $3 million in life insurance coverage under the policy) in lieu of the standard Company-paid term life insurance; and (ii) individual supplemental long-term disability insurance, which provides up to approximately $35,000 per month (subject to age, earnings, tenure, health and state of residence limitations) in additional coverage over the $8,000 per month maximum provided under our group long-term disability plan. We believe that these additional benefits are consistent with benefits provided to other similarly situated executives.
    Perquisites. We provide a limited number of perquisites to our NEOs that we believe are related to the performance of their responsibilities. Annually, the Committee reviews the types and aggregate values of Ryder's perquisite program. We provide the following perquisites to all of our NEOs:
    •$9,600 per year as an annual car allowance; and
    •$6,800 per year ($11,800 for our CEO) that may be used to pay for community, business or social activities that may be related to the performance of the executive's duties, but which are not otherwise eligible for reimbursement as direct business expenses.
    All perquisites are fully taxable to the NEOs and are not subject to any tax gross-ups.
    SEVERANCE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL
    All of our NEOs are eligible for certain severance benefits under individual severance agreements. These arrangements are described in more detail under the heading "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control" on page 51. Severance arrangements are intended to ensure that NEOs will act in the best interests of shareholders rather than avoiding transactions that could result in termination of employment. These arrangements also include certain restrictive covenants designed to prevent our NEOs from seeking employment with our competitors after termination or soliciting our employees or customers during the restricted period. Change of control arrangements are included in the severance agreements and are designed to preserve productivity, avoid disruption and prevent attrition during an actual or rumored change of control transaction.
    NEO STOCK OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
    We encourage significant stock ownership by our NEOs to align the interests of our leadership team with those of our shareholders. We established stock ownership guidelines that require each NEO to own Ryder equity at least equal in value to a multiple of such NEO's salary within five years of appointment, as follows:
    CEO
    6x annual base salary
    Other NEOs3x annual base salary
    For purposes of calculating stock ownership, vested shares and unvested time-based restricted stock rights are counted. Currently, each NEO meets these stock ownership requirements.

    Compensation Discussion and Analysis
    PROHIBITIONS ON HEDGING AND PLEDGING
    Ryder considers it improper for Board members, executive officers and certain other employees of the Company to engage in short-term or speculative transactions in the Company's securities. Ryder's Insider Trading Policy prohibits these individuals from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions, including zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts. In addition, Board members and executive officers are prohibited from holding the Company's securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging the Company's securities as collateral for a loan.
    RECOUPMENT POLICIES
    The Board of Directors has adopted a recoupment policy in accordance with the SEC's rules to implement Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Executive Recoupment Policy"). Under the Executive Recoupment Policy, the Board of Directors must seek the recoupment or forfeiture of any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by the Company's Section 16 officers in the event of a required accounting restatement of the Company's financial results. The Board of Directors has also adopted a recoupment policy pursuant to which the Compensation Committee may seek the recoupment or forfeiture of any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by the Company's current or former officers, other than Section 16 officers, who engaged in fraud or other misconduct resulting in a required accounting restatement of the Company's financial results (the "Non-Executive Recoupment Policy," collectively with the Executive Recoupment Policy, the "Recoupment Policies").
    The Recoupment Policies apply to all incentive-based compensation received by a covered officer during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement. In addition, under the terms of each NEO's severance agreement, the Company has the right to require the NEO to repay the full value of any severance payments received under certain scenarios, including if the Company subsequently discovers information that would have permitted the Company to terminate the NEO for Cause, as described under the heading "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control" on page 51.
    TAX IMPLICATIONS
    Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally imposes a $1 million limit on the amount a public company may deduct for compensation paid to a company's "covered employees," which include our NEOs. While the Committee considers the deductibility of compensation as one of several factors in compensation decisions, the primary goals of our executive compensation programs are to attract, incentivize and retain key employees, as well as align pay with performance, and the Committee retains the ability to provide compensation that exceeds deductibility limits as it determines appropriate.
    COMPENSATION RISKS
    FW Cook assists the Committee with the risk assessment of the Company's compensation programs and policies, reviewing each significant element of the executive compensation programs. The Company also performed a risk assessment of the Company's non-executive plans as part of its ERM program, which is overseen by the Board as discussed under "Risk Management" on page 15 of this proxy statement. Based on these assessments, the Company concluded that our compensation policies and practices do not create risk that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Ryder. The assessments took into account that our compensation opportunities are intended to balance our near- and long-term strategic goals and encourage a focus on sustained, holistic company performance, and that our programs also incorporate risk mitigation policies such as caps on maximum payouts and recoupment policies.

    Awards granted in 2024
    All 2024 TVRSR and PBRSR awards are represented in the "Stock Awards" column at grant date fair value, and in the case of PBRSRs at target performance. These values were determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The 2024 TVRSRs vest ratably over a three-year period, subject to continued employment. The 2024 PBRSRs have a three-year performance period, can be earned from 0-200%, and are earned based on the following: ROE (a non-GAAP financial measure), free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure), and strategic revenue growth based on a three-year CAGR, each weighted equally (one-third) and based on a three-year average. In addition, a TSR modifier is applied at the end of the performance period to adjust earned PBRSRs, positively or negatively, up to 15%. The following table presents the grant date value of the 2024, 2023 and 2022 PBRSRs at the target and maximum levels of performance:

    Executive Compensation
    Calculation
    As discussed above, the amounts in the "Stock Award" column are based on grant date fair value in accordance with applicable accounting guidance and consequently may not reflect the actual value that the NEO will recognize. For information regarding the assumptions made in calculating the amounts reflected in this column and the maximum payout for the award, see Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report.
    (2)
    Amounts consist of cash-based incentive compensation earned for the achievement of performance objectives approved by the Committee for the 2024, 2023 and 2022 AIP, as applicable.
    (3)
    Amounts reflect an estimate of the change in the actuarial present value of the accrued pension benefits under the Pension Plans for each NEO for the respective year. In 2024 and 2022, each NEO had a negative amount change in actuarial present value of his accumulated benefits under the Pension Plans, and such negative amount changes have been excluded from the Summary Compensation Table. In 2024, the amounts were as follows: Mr. Sanchez, ($5,841); Mr. Diez, ($4,411); Mr. Sensing, ($4,672); Mr. Havens, ($5,639); and Mr. Fatovic, ($3,634). In 2022, the amounts were as follows: Mr. Sanchez, ($306,274); Mr. Diez, ($73,395); Mr. Sensing, ($123,915); Mr. Havens, ($117,038); and Mr. Fatovic, ($257,330). Assumptions used to calculate these amounts are described under "Pension Benefits" on page 49 of this proxy statement. No NEO realized above-market or preferential earnings on deferred compensation.
    (4)
    Amounts in the "All Other Compensation" column for 2024 include the following payments or accruals for each NEO:

    (a)
    As described under "Pension Benefits" on page 49 of this proxy statement, our NEOs are not accruing benefits under the Pension Plans and instead receive employer contributions into their 401(k) Plan and DCP accounts. Since 2016, a portion of the employer contribution to the 401(k) Plan and the DCP are made in a lump sum after the end of the calendar year to which the contribution relates. The amounts presented reflect contributions made by the Company to the 401(k) Plan and the DCP during the calendar year reported.
    (b)

    For the ACIAs, the amounts reflect the potential payouts at threshold, target or maximum payout levels based on Company performance. The Committee has discretion to adjust amounts upwards or downwards based on consideration of qualitative factors. The Committee did not exercise such discretion in determining the earned 2024 ACIAs for our NEOs. The 2024 ACIAs as earned by our NEOs are discussed in further detail under the heading "2024 AIP Earned Amounts for NEOs" on page 37 of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section.
    (2)
    These columns reflect the number of potential PBRSRs that can be earned under our 2024 LTIP at threshold, target and maximum performance if performance measures are ultimately attained. See further discussion under the heading "2024-2026 LTIP Grants" on page 39 of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section.
    (3)
    Represents TVRSRs granted under our 2024 LTIP. The TVRSRs for all of the NEOs vest in three equal annual installments beginning on February 9, 2025. See further discussion under the heading "2024-2026 LTIP Grants" on page 39 of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section.

    PENSION BENEFITS
    We maintain legacy Pension Plans for regular full-time employees other than those employees who are covered by plans administered by labor unions and certain other non-exempt employees. Effective December 31, 2007, the Pension Plans were frozen for all plan participants other than those who were eligible to continue to participate (based on age and tenure) and elected to do so. As a result, for those employees who were not eligible, or did not elect, to continue to participate, benefits ceased accruing as of such date. All retirement benefits earned and accrued as of December 31, 2007 are fully preserved, continue to be subject to the applicable vesting schedule, and will be paid in accordance with the plans and applicable legal requirements. No employees hired or rehired after January 1, 2007 are eligible to participate in the Pension Plans. Effective January 1, 2008, employees who were no longer eligible to continue to earn benefits in the Retirement Plan were automatically transitioned to an enhanced 401(k) plan and a non-elective deferred compensation plan (if eligible) for their retirement benefits. Effective December 31, 2020, the Pension Plans were frozen for all plan participants who were eligible to continue to participate effective December 31, 2007 (based on age and tenure) and elected to do so, except pursuant to certain collective bargaining agreements.
    The 401(k) Plan provides that all salaried and certain hourly employees hired or rehired prior to January 1, 2016 will receive: (i) a Company contribution equal to 3% of eligible pay, subject to a vesting schedule; and (ii) a 50% Company match of employee contributions of up to 5% of eligible pay, subject in each case to Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") limits. Employees hired or rehired on or after January 1, 2016 will receive a 50% Company match of employee contributions of up to 6% of eligible pay, subject to IRS limits. Our DCP provides for Company contributions in excess of the applicable IRS limitations under the 401(k) Plan. Employees eligible for Ryder contribution enhancements in the 401(k) Plan are also eligible for the enhancements in the DCP, provided they meet the eligibility requirements under the DCP.
    Based on their age and tenure with Ryder, Messrs. Sanchez, Diez, Sensing, Havens and Fatovic did not meet the eligibility requirements to continue accruing benefits under the Pension Plans, and, as such, their pension benefits were frozen and each is now entitled to the enhanced benefits under the 401(k) Plan and DCP.
    Benefits payable under the Retirement Plan are based on an employee's career earnings with us and our subsidiaries. At the normal retirement age of 65, a participant is entitled to a monthly pension benefit payable for life. The annual pension benefit, when paid in the form of a life annuity with no survivor's benefits, is generally equal to the sum of 1.45% of the first $15,600 of total compensation received during each calendar year that the employee is eligible to participate in the plan, plus 1.85% of the excess over $15,600. Elements of compensation considered in applying the payment and benefits formula include, to the extent applicable: eligible salary, annual cash incentive award, overtime, vacation and commission.
    Retirement Plan benefits vest at the earlier of the completion of five years of credited service or upon reaching age 65. If a participant is over age 55 and has more than ten years of continuous credited service, the participant is eligible to retire with an unreduced benefit at age 62. As of December 31, 2024, Messrs. Sanchez, Sensing, Havens and Fatovic are eligible for an unreduced retirement benefit. In the event of a change of control, all participants will be fully vested, and the term "accrued benefit" will include the value of early retirement benefits for any participant age 45 or older or with ten or more years of service. These benefits are not subject to any reduction for Social Security benefits or other offset amounts. An employee's pension benefits may be paid in certain alternative forms having actuarially equivalent values.

    The Benefit Restoration Plan pays participants whose benefits are reduced due to IRS maximum annual limitations on benefits under pension plans an amount equaling the additional amount of benefit the participant would be entitled to receive under the Benefit Restoration Plan without such limitation.
    The following table sets forth the present value of the accumulated benefits for the NEOs assuming they retire at the unreduced early retirement age of 62 and have ten years of continuous service, and using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in our financial statements. For information regarding interest rate and mortality rate assumptions, see the section entitled "Employee Benefit Plans" in Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements, included in our 2024 Annual Report. None of our NEOs received any payments under the Pension Plans in 2024.

    2024 NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION
    We maintain a DCP for certain employees, including our NEOs, pursuant to which participants may elect to defer up to 100% of their cash compensation (base salary, commissions and annual cash incentive award) after legally required deductions. The election must take place during an open enrollment period prior to the beginning of the fiscal year to which the election relates. Any deferred amounts are part of our general assets and are credited with hypothetical earnings based on several hypothetical investment options selected by the employee. The compensation may be deferred until the earlier to occur of a fixed date or separation of employment, and is payable in a lump sum or in installments for a period ranging from two to fifteen years, as elected in advance by the employee. Upon a change of control, all deferred amounts will be paid immediately in a lump sum. Our current DCP does not provide for above-market or preferential earnings. As described above under "Pension Benefits," in 2024, Messrs. Sanchez, Diez, Sensing, Havens and Fatovic were not eligible to continue accruing benefits under the Pension Plans. Where IRS limitations prevented the Company from making a match on savings in the 401(k) Plan at the same percentage that other employees receive, the Company deposited a match into such NEOs' deferred compensation account. A description of these benefits is included under "Pension Benefits" above. None of our NEOs received any distributions under the DCP in 2024.

    Executive Compensation
    POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL
    The severance benefits for executive leadership team members, including each of the NEOs, are provided under individual severance agreements. The severance benefits for all other officers are provided under Ryder's Executive Severance Plan.
    Voluntary Termination and Termination for Cause
    In the event an NEO voluntarily terminates their employment with us, or is terminated for Cause (as defined below), the NEO will not be entitled to receive any severance payments under the terms of the NEO's severance agreement. The NEO will retain any accrued compensation and benefits to the extent vested.
    In the event of voluntary termination, all unvested equity awards will be canceled, and the NEO will have 90 days from the date of termination to exercise any vested stock options. In the event of termination for Cause, all stock options, vested and unvested, will be canceled, and with respect to TVRSRs and PBRSRs, the Company will have the right to reclaim any shares delivered to the NEO within the one-year period before the date of the NEO's termination, or to the extent the NEO has transferred such shares, the equivalent after-tax value thereof in cash. Additionally, with respect to PBRSRs, if the NEO remains employed through the end of the relevant performance period but is subsequently terminated for Cause, the right to any undelivered shares pursuant to such PBRSR will be forfeited.
    Termination for Death, Disability or Retirement
    Cash and Benefits. In the event an NEO retires, he will be entitled to receive any accrued compensation and benefits to the extent such benefits have vested, including under our Pension Plans, as described under the heading "Pension Benefits." In the event of death, the NEO's beneficiaries will receive benefits under the executive life insurance policies we maintain on their behalf. These benefits are equal to three times the NEO's current base salary, up to an aggregate of $3.0 million. In addition, welfare benefits (health, dental, vision and prescription) are extended for 60 days for covered beneficiaries, the total cost of which would range from approximately $2,522 to $2,838, depending on the NEO's coverage and number of covered family members. In the event of disability, the NEO would be entitled to any amounts paid under our disability insurance policies, including the supplemental long-term disability insurance we maintain for executive officers (as described under "Retirement and Welfare Benefits and Perquisites" on page 44). Upon death or disability, the NEO (or their beneficiary) would also be entitled to a pro-rata payment under our AIP.
    Stock Options. Upon death or retirement, any vested stock options will remain exercisable for the remainder of the term of the option, and any unvested stock options will be canceled. Upon disability, any vested stock options will remain exercisable for the remainder of the term of the option, and any unvested stock options will continue to vest for a period of three years following disability. As of December 31, 2024, all option awards have fully vested.
    TVRSRs and PBRSRs. Upon death or disability, any unvested TVRSRs will immediately vest and the underlying common stock will be distributed to the executive (or their beneficiary, in the event of death). Upon retirement, a pro-rata portion of any unvested TVRSRs will vest and will be distributed to the executive on the next applicable vesting date, unless the executive satisfies certain conditions (including notice and non-compete restrictions), in which case any unvested TVRSRs will continue to vest and be distributed over the remaining vesting period. In the case of PBRSRs, subject to achievement of the corresponding performance conditions, a pro-rata portion of the PBRSRs will vest and the underlying common stock will be distributed to the executive (or their beneficiary, in the event of death) when distribution to all other participants occurs. The fair market value of the PBRSRs (assuming actual performance) and the pro-rata number of TVRSRs (assuming the executive did not satisfy the additional conditions) that the executive would have been provided had the death, disability or retirement occurred on December 31, 2024, is as follows: Mr. Sanchez, $26,534,752; Mr. Diez, $10,598,873; Mr. Sensing, $9,742,732; Mr. Havens, $7,955,940; and Mr. Fatovic, $6,264,675.
    Involuntary Termination Without Cause and In Connection With a Change of Control
    As defined and described below, NEOs are entitled to certain severance benefits (i) upon termination of employment without Cause, and (ii) upon termination of employment without Cause or for Good Reason (each a "Qualifying Termination") within the 24 months following, or the 12 months preceding, a Change of Control.
    Key Defined Terms. The following key terms are defined in the NEO severance agreements:
    4 "Cause" generally means an act of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement; conviction of any felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or dishonesty; willful failure to report to work for more than 30 days or to perform duties; and material breach of certain restrictive covenants including, for example, non-compete and non-solicitation provisions. Any other activity that would constitute grounds for termination for cause by the Company,
    Table of Contents
    Ryder System, Inc. | 2025 Proxy Statement
    51

    rydersystemlogo.jpg
    Executive Compensation
    including for example material violations of the Company's Principles of Business Conduct, is included in the definition of Cause, though not for purposes of providing severance upon a Change of Control.
    4 "Change of Control" generally means the acquisition of 30% or more of the combined voting power of our common stock; a majority change in the composition of our Board; any reorganization, merger or consolidation that results in more than a 50% change in the share ownership of our common stock, the acquisition of 30% or more of the voting power of our common stock by one person, or a majority change in the composition of the Board; our liquidation or dissolution; or a sale of substantially all of our assets.
    4 "Good Reason" applies within two years following a Change of Control (or in certain circumstances, within the 12 months preceding the Change of Control) and generally means a material reduction in compensation opportunities; transferring the NEO more than 50 miles; failure to obtain a successor's agreement to honor the NEO severance agreement; failure to pay certain Change of Control severance benefits into a trust; or any material and adverse change in position, duties, responsibilities or reporting relationship (but does not include a change in title).
    Cash. The NEO will receive cash severance as follows:
    Involuntary Termination Without Cause:Qualifying Termination following Change of Control:
    •Salary continuation for the applicable severance period (30 months for the CEO, and 18 months for all other NEOs);
    •Lump sum payment equal to the NEO's eligible base salary on the date of termination times the applicable salary multiple (3x for the CEO, and 2x for all other NEOs);
    •Lump sum payment equal to pro-rata award under the applicable ACIA based on actual performance; and
    •Lump sum payment equal to pro-rata target award under the applicable ACIA; and
    •Severance payment equal to 2.5x for the CEO and 1.5x for all other NEOs of the average amounts actually paid to the NEO under the ACIA for the three-year period preceding the year of termination.
    •Annual cash incentive award equal to the target ACIA amount (based on the NEO's base salary on the date of termination) for the relevant period times the applicable ACIA multiple (3x for the CEO, and 2x for all other NEOs).
    Also upon a termination without Cause, or if the NEO terminates his or her employment for Good Reason, in each case within 24 months after a Change of Control, the NEO is entitled to immediate vesting and payment of any deferred compensation amounts, immediate payment of any accrued benefits under our Benefit Restoration Plan, and any additional benefits under our Retirement Plan (as previously described under "Pension Benefits" on page 49).
    Equity Awards. Upon an involuntary termination without Cause, (i) an NEO's vested stock options are exercisable until 90 days after the end of the relevant Severance Period (which is a period of one and one-half years (two and one-half years for the CEO), and two years (three years for the CEO) upon termination following a Change of Control), and then any unvested stock options are canceled, and (ii) all unvested TVRSRs and PBRSRs (whether or not earned) will be forfeited. Upon a Change of Control, our Equity Plan provides for double-trigger accelerated vesting of all outstanding awards.
    Restrictive Covenants and Other Provisions. The NEO severance agreements contain standard confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement and release provisions that are applicable to all termination scenarios described above. The duration of the restriction on non-competition and non-solicitation covenants remains in effect for the longer of (i) 12 months following the NEO's termination date or (ii) any applicable Severance Period. The restrictions on confidentiality and non-disparagement remain in effect indefinitely. The NEO must execute the release and abide by all restrictions in order to receive all applicable payments and benefits. Such agreements also provide that Ryder will reduce (but not below zero) the aggregate present value of the payments under the agreement to an amount that would not cause any payment to be subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, if reducing the payments under the agreement would provide the executive with a greater net after-tax amount than would be the case if no reduction was made.
    In the event of any termination, the NEO will also be entitled to:
    •Continuation of all medical, dental, prescription and vision insurance plans and programs until the earlier of the end of the applicable Severance Period, if any, the date COBRA continuation coverage is canceled, or the date the NEO is eligible to receive benefits from another employer;
    •Continuation of executive life and supplemental disability insurance until the end of any relevant Severance Period; and
    •Outplacement services under a Company-sponsored program until the earlier of (i) 24 months after the NEO's termination date (36 months for the CEO); (ii) the date on which the NEO obtains another full-time job; (iii) the date on which the NEO becomes self-employed; or (iv) the date on which the NEO (other than the CEO) has received all services or benefits due under the applicable program.

    Cash severance includes: (i) base salary; (ii) pro-rata cash payment under the annual cash incentive awards; and (iii) in the case of involuntary termination without Cause, a payment equal to a multiple of the average payout amounts under the ACIA for the previous three years, or in the event of termination in connection with a Change of Control, a payment equal to a multiple of the target ACIA. In the event of involuntary termination without Cause, base salary is paid over time in accordance with usual payroll practices, and the ACIA is paid in a lump sum shortly after termination. In the event of termination in connection with a Change of Control, all payments are made in a lump sum shortly after termination. Timing and payment of cash severance is subject in all respects to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. All of the NEOs are subject to a "best payments" provision in the event their Change in Control payments exceed their 280G limit. The best payments provision automatically reduces their benefits to their 280G limit in the event the reduction would result in a greater net after-tax payment to the NEO. The best payments provision is not reflected in the amounts reported here.
    (2)
    Upon a Change of Control, the intrinsic value of equity reflects the intrinsic value of the accelerated equity. In each case, the amounts are calculated using the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2024, which was $156.86, and includes stock options, restricted stock and PBRSRs.
    (3)
    This reflects the change in value resulting from the acceleration of the vesting of the Benefit Restoration Plan in the event of a Change of Control (whether or not there is a termination of employment), plus, in the event of a termination in connection with a Change of Control, the value of the early retirement subsidy in our Retirement Plan. Assumed retirement age is the later of age 55 or the executive's age on December 31, 2024. See "Pension Benefits" on page 49 of this proxy statement for more information.
    (4)
    Amounts are based on the current cost to us of reimbursing the NEO for the premiums paid for their current health, dental, vision and prescription insurance coverage during the severance period, as described above. The reimbursement is included in the earnings of the NEO and subject to all applicable taxes.
    (5)
    Amounts reflect the cost of outplacement services provided under a Company-sponsored program.

    (3)    For performance share awards, the grant date fair value of awards used for SCT calculations assumes target performance. To determine the year-end fair values used in the Compensation Actually Paid calculations, we have updated the performance expectations to reflect the latest performance estimates for unvested and outstanding awards at each fiscal year-end date. For option awards, updated market input assumptions (stock price, risk free interest rate, volatility, expected term and future dividend yield expectations) have been used to determine the fair values of outstanding awards as of the identified vesting dates and the relevant fiscal year-end dates using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.

    (5)    Amount is calculated using the market capitalization of each company in the Peer Group TSR, at the beginning of each requisite period. The Peer Group TSR represents the Dow Jones Transportation 20 Index as presented in "Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities" on page 22 of our 2024 Annual Report.
    (6)    Comparable EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net earnings, first adjusted to exclude discontinued operations and the following items, all from continuing operations: (i) non-operating pension costs, net, and (ii) any other items that are not representative of our business operations (these are the same items that are excluded from comparable earnings measures for the relevant periods), and then adjusted further for (a) interest expense, (b) income taxes, (c) depreciation, (d) used vehicle sales results and (e) amortization. The comparable EBITDA amount shown in the table reflects Company-wide results. In 2023, for compensation purposes, the Committee determined to exclude (i) the higher than expected comparable EBITDA benefit from an asset impairment charge related to a customer bankruptcy from the comparable EBITDA results of RSI and SCS, and (ii) the acquisition of IFS Holdings, LLC (acquired in November 2023 for approximately $255 million) from the comparable EBITDA and operating revenue results of RSI and SCS. As such, the total amount of comparable EBITDA used for 2023 compensation purposes was $2,645 billion. In 2021, for compensation purposes, the Committee determined to exclude the acquisition of Midwest Warehouse & Distribution System (acquired in November 2021 for approximately $284 million) from comparable EBITDA 2021 results. As such, the total amount of comparable EBITDA used for 2021 compensation purposes was $2,429 billion. For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure, as well as the reasons why management believes the measure is useful to shareholders, refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" on page 42 of our 2024 Annual Report.
    (7)    Reflects amended amounts correcting an error in the Company's annual proxy statement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2023, which overstated (for fiscal years 2022 and 2020) and understated (for fiscal year 2021) the underlying amount used for the fair value of equity awards that were granted. The amounts previously reported in the Pay Versus Performance table above, as well as the corresponding tables showing the additions and deductions used to calculate Compensation Actually Paid to PEO and Average Compensation Actually Paid to non-PEO NEOs, have been corrected to reflect the following:
    •For the "Compensation Actually Paid to PEO" column that appears in the Pay Versus Performance table and the corresponding table showing the additions and deductions used to calculate Compensation Actually Paid to PEO: the amended amounts are $14,994,241, $24,319,077 and $15,576,769, in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, compared to $16,096,527, $22,693,300 and $16,422,956, in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that were reported in the Company's annual proxy statement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
    •For the "Average Compensation Actually Paid to non-PEO NEOs" column that appears in the Pay Versus Performance table and the corresponding table showing the additions and deductions used to calculate Average Compensation Actually Paid to non-PEO NEOs: the amended amounts are $5,320,731, $4,139,462 and $5,992,549, in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, compared to $5,569,923, $3,806,715 and $6,209,380, in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that were reported in the Company's annual proxy statement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

    Financial Performance Measures. In accordance with the Pay Versus Performance Rules, the following table lists the most important financial performance measures used in 2024 to link "compensation actually paid" to PEO and non-PEO NEOs to Company performance, as further described in our Compensation Discussion & Analysis on the pages noted below.

    PAY RATIO
    As required by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees to that of Robert E. Sanchez, our Board Chair and CEO.
    The 2024 annual total compensation of the median employee identified by the Company (as described below) was $55,208, and the 2024 annual total compensation of our CEO (as described on page 46 in the SCT) was $9,283,808. Based on this information, for 2024, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median annual total compensation of all employees was 168 to 1.
    To identify the median employee, we began with our employee population (comprising both full-time and part-time employees) as of December 31, 2024, which consisted of 51,084 individuals (excluding our CEO), with 86% of employees located in the United States and 14% located outside of the United States. For information on our employee population, refer to Item 1, Business, in our 2024 Annual Report.
    We then identified the median employee using total cash compensation for this population for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2024, comprising (1) base pay; (2) actual annual bonus; (3) commissions; and (4) other cash payments, including car allowance, perquisites, tuition reimbursement and an executive allowance, as applicable. We did not annualize compensation for any employee, including employees that were not employed by us for all of 2024.
    After identifying the median employee as a full-time, salaried employee located in the United States, we calculated this employee's 2024 annual total compensation based on the SCT rules used for our NEOs.

    Director Compensation
    DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
    Description of Director Compensation Program
    The key objectives of our director compensation program are to attract and retain high-quality board members and to align their interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders. Directors who are employees receive no compensation or benefits for service on the Board other than the right to participate in our Matching Gifts to Education Program at the Board level.
    Our non-employee directors received the following compensation during 2024:
    4
    An annual Board retainer of $115,000, paid in four installments in January, April, July and October;
    4
    An annual grant of $180,000 in restricted stock units ("RSUs"), made on the date of our Annual Meeting of Shareholders;
    4
    A Board or committee meeting attendance fee of $1,000 for each additional Board or committee meeting attended in excess of eight Board meetings or eight committee meetings, payable in December;
    4
    A committee chair retainer, payable in May, to each of the Chairs of the Finance, Compensation and Governance Committees ($20,000) and the Audit Committee ($25,000); and
    4
    An annual retainer of $30,000 to the Board's Lead Independent Director, payable in May.
    The number of RSUs granted is based on the closing price of Ryder common stock on the date of the grant. The first RSU grant received upon joining the Board vests after the director's first year of service. Thereafter, RSUs vest and are settled upon grant unless the director elects to defer settlement. Directors may not sell any shares of common stock unless they have satisfied the director stock ownership requirements explained on page 58. RSUs granted during a director's initial year of service, or RSUs deferred until on or after separation from the Board, will receive dividend equivalents which will be reinvested through our dividend reinvestment program. Shares delivered in respect of RSUs will receive dividends upon terms consistent with all other shareholders. Upon the occurrence of a change in control, as defined in the relevant plan documents, all outstanding RSUs will be settled.
    Directors are given the option to receive all or any portion of their annual Board retainer in Ryder common stock. As part of our deferred compensation plan, directors also have the option of deferring receipt of their annual Board retainers and excess meeting fees. We do not pay above-market or preferential earnings on compensation deferred by directors. Directors are not eligible to participate in our Pension Plans or 401(k) Plan.
    We maintain a legacy Directors' Charitable Awards Program pursuant to which each director who was elected prior to January 1, 2005 may designate up to two charitable organizations to which we will contribute an aggregate of $500,000 in ten annual installments in the director's name following the director's death. The program is currently funded with the proceeds of insurance policies, and the directors obtain no personal financial benefits from the program. One of our directors, Ms. A. Smith, was elected prior to January 1, 2005, and currently participates in the program. Directors may also participate in our Matching Gifts to Education Program, under which we match a director's contributions to eligible educational institutions up to a maximum of $10,000 per year.
    The Compensation Committee conducts a comprehensive review and evaluation of the compensation for our non-employee directors annually, including a compensation pay analysis by FW Cook. The Committee approved the following changes to non-employee director compensation in 2024: (i) a $5,000 increase to the annual cash retainer, prorated for the July and October 2024 installments; and (ii) a $5,000 increase to the equity retainer payable in RSUs. These increases are reflected above in the description of compensation for non-employee directors in 2024.

    Director Stock Ownership Requirements
    To further align the interests of our directors and shareholders, our directors are expected to own Ryder common stock or common stock equivalents (including any vested or unvested RSUs) pursuant to stock ownership requirements. The stock ownership requirement for each director is six times the Board retainer, based on a five-year rolling average stock price. The ownership requirements must be proportionately satisfied within five years of the director's election to the Board. As of December 31, 2024, all directors were in compliance with these stock ownership requirements.

    Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
    (Proposal 3)
    PROPOSAL NO. 3
    ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
    We are providing shareholders with an advisory vote on executive compensation, or Say on Pay, as required pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act.
    The Say-on-Pay vote is a non-binding vote on the compensation of our NEOs, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section beginning on page 31, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation, and the accompanying narrative disclosure set forth in this proxy statement. The Dodd-Frank Act requires us to hold the Say-on-Pay vote at least once every three years. Following the recommendation of our shareholders at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our Board has chosen to continue to hold the Say-on-Pay vote every year.
    We encourage you to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section to learn more about our executive compensation programs and policies and the changes we have made over the last few years. The Board believes that its 2024 compensation decisions and enhancements to our executive compensation programs made over the last few years reflect the Company's commitment to respond to shareholder input and pay for performance, support the Company's ability to sustain long-term growth while accounting for sound risk management, and align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders by emphasizing variable, at-risk compensation largely tied to measurable performance goals.
    Although this Say-on-Pay vote on executive compensation is non-binding, we highly value input and engagement from our shareholders. The Board and the Compensation Committee will review the results of this 2025 vote and, consistent with our record of shareholder engagement, take the outcome of the vote into account when determining future executive compensation arrangements. Shareholders are therefore asked to vote for the following resolution:
    RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Ryder approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Ryder's NEOs, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation, and the accompanying narrative disclosure set forth in Ryder's 2025 Proxy Statement.
    The Board recommends a vote FOR Proposal 3 (adoption of the resolution, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs).

    Other Matters
    OTHER MATTERS
    Who can vote?
    Holders of Ryder common stock at the close of business on March 3, 2025, the record date, are entitled to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting. As of March 3, 2025, there were 41,741,675 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, all of which are entitled to vote. Each share of common stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote represents one vote.
    What is a quorum?
    A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to hold a meeting. Under our By-Laws, the holders of a majority of the total number of shares issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting must be present in person (through virtual access) or represented by proxy for a quorum. If you sign and return your proxy marked "abstain," your shares will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.
    What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a beneficial shareholder?
    Record Shareholder. You are a shareholder of record if you are registered as a shareholder with our transfer agent, EQ Shareowner Services.
    Beneficial Shareholder. You are a beneficial shareholder if a brokerage firm, bank, trustee or other agent (nominee) holds your shares. This is often called ownership in "street name," since your name does not appear anywhere in our records.
    How do I vote?If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote:
    •  by internet;
    •  by telephone; or
    •  by mail, if you received a paper copy of these proxy materials.
    Detailed instructions for internet and telephone voting are set forth on the notice of internet availability ("Notice"), which contains instructions on how to access our proxy statement, Annual Report and shareholder letter online, and the printed proxy card.
    If your shares are held in our 401(k) Plan, your proxy will serve as a voting instruction for the trustee of our 401(k) Plan who will vote your shares as you instruct. To allow sufficient time for the trustee to vote, your voting instructions must be received by April 29, 2025 (the "cut-off date"). If the trustee does not receive your instructions by the cut-off date, the trustee will vote the shares you hold through our 401(k) Plan in the same proportion as all other shares in our 401(k) Plan for which voting instructions were received.
    If you are a beneficial shareholder, you must follow the voting procedures of your nominee.
    What shares are covered by my proxy card?
    Your proxy reflects all shares owned by you at the close of business on March 3, 2025. For participants in our 401(k) Plan, shares held in your account as of that date are included in your proxy.
    What if I am a beneficial shareholder and I do not give the nominee voting instructions?Brokerage firms have the authority under NYSE rules to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions on certain "routine" matters. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee who holds shares for another does not vote on a particular item because the nominee does not have discretionary voting authority for that item and has not received instructions from the owner of the shares. Broker non-votes are included in the calculation of the number of votes considered to be present at the meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but are not counted as shares present and entitled to be voted with respect to a matter on which the nominee has expressly not voted.
    What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice or proxy card?
    It means that you hold shares in more than one account. To ensure all of your shares are voted, if you vote by telephone or on the internet, you will need to vote once for each Notice, proxy card or voting instruction card you receive. Alternatively, if you vote by proxy card, you will need to sign and return each proxy card by mail.
    How many votes are needed for the proposals to pass?
    The table below sets forth the proportion of votes needed for each proposal on the ballot to pass. The table also sets forth whether a nominee can exercise discretion and vote your shares absent your instructions and, if not, the impact of such broker non-vote on the approval of the proposal and the impact of abstentions.

    Proposal 3 is a non-binding, advisory vote. What is the effect if it passes?
    Although the advisory vote on Proposal 3 (Say on Pay) is non-binding, our Board will review the result and, consistent with our record of shareholder engagement, take it into account in making future executive compensation and corporate governance decisions.
    How do I change my vote?
    A shareholder of record may revoke a proxy by giving written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary before the meeting by delivering a later-dated proxy (either in writing, by telephone or over the internet), or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting electronically.
    If you are a beneficial shareholder, you may change your vote by following your nominee's procedures for revoking or changing your proxy.
    Who can attend the Annual Meeting?Only shareholders and our invited guests are permitted to attend the Annual Meeting.
    PROXY SOLICITATION COSTS
    We have retained the services of Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in soliciting proxies from brokers and nominees of shareholders for the Annual Meeting. We will pay the cost of these services, which is estimated to be approximately $17,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses. We also reimburse brokerage firms and others for forwarding proxy materials to you. In addition to solicitation by mail, solicitations may also be made by personal interview, letter, fax and telephone. Certain of our officers, directors and employees may participate in the solicitation of proxies without additional consideration.
    VOTE TABULATIONS
    Our Board has appointed Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. as the independent Inspector of Election of the Annual Meeting. Representatives of Broadridge will count the votes.
    CONFIDENTIAL VOTING
    The voting instructions of shareholders of record will only be available to the Inspector of Election. Voting instructions for employee benefit plans and shares held in our 401(k) Plan will only be available to the plan's tabulator. The voting instructions of beneficial shareholders will only be available to the shareholder's nominee. Your voting records will not be disclosed to us unless required by a legal order, requested by you, or cast in a contested election.
    SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
    Shareholder Proposals. If a shareholder wishes to submit a proposal for consideration at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8(e) under the Exchange Act, and wants that proposal to appear in the Company's proxy statement for that meeting, the proposal must be submitted in writing to Ryder System, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 6000 Windward Parkway, Alpharetta, GA 30005, and received by the Company no later than November 12, 2025. Additionally, we must receive proper notice of any other shareholder proposal to be submitted at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (but not included in our proxy statement) no earlier than January 2, 2026 and no later than February 1, 2026.
    Shareholders Nominating a Director Candidate Through Proxy Access (for Inclusion in the Company's Proxy Materials). Our By-Laws provide for proxy access for director nominations by shareholders. A shareholder, or group of up to 25 shareholders, owning Ryder stock representing an aggregate of at least 3% of our outstanding shares continuously for at least three years, may nominate and include in Ryder's proxy materials director nominees constituting up to 20% of Ryder's Board or two directors, whichever is greater, provided that the shareholder(s) and nominee(s) satisfy the proxy access requirements set forth in our By-Laws, including Articles IV and V. If a shareholder would like to use the Company's proxy access procedures to nominate one or more directors for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (for inclusion in Ryder's proxy materials), the shareholder must give advance written notice at least 120, but no more than 150, days before the one-year anniversary of the date Ryder issued its definitive proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting, as required in our By-Laws (no earlier than October 13, 2025 and no later than November 12, 2025). The notice must include information regarding both the proposing shareholder and the director nominee as required in our By-Laws. In addition, the director nominee must submit a completed and signed questionnaire. This questionnaire will be provided by the Corporate Secretary upon request and is similar to the annual questionnaire completed by all of our directors relating to their background, experience and independence.

    Shareholders Nominating a Director Candidate Without Using the Company's Proxy Materials. If a shareholder would like to nominate one or more directors for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders without following the proxy access procedures described above, the shareholder must give advance written notice to us at least 90, but no more than 120, days before the one-year anniversary of the 2025 Annual Meeting (no earlier than January 2, 2026 and no later than February 1, 2026), as required by our By-Laws. The notice must include information regarding both the proposing shareholder and the director nominee as required in our Bylaws. In addition, the director nominee must submit a completed and signed questionnaire. This questionnaire will be provided by the Corporate Secretary upon request and is similar to the annual questionnaire completed by all of our directors relating to their background, experience and independence. In addition, such shareholder must comply with all other requirements set forth in our By-Laws, including Articles IV and V.
    All of the requirements relating to the submission of shareholder proposals or director nominations are included in our By-Laws. A copy of our By-Laws can be obtained from the Governance page in the Investors area of our website, at https://investors.ryder.com, or from our filings with the SEC on the SEC's website, at www.sec.gov.
    ELECTRONIC DELIVERY
    This year, we have again elected to take advantage of the SEC's rule that allows us to furnish proxy materials to you online as electronic delivery expedites shareholders' receipt of materials, while lowering costs and reducing waste. On or about March 12, 2025, we mail to our shareholders the Notice regarding internet availability of proxy materials containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement, Annual Report and shareholder letter electronically.
    If you receive the Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials, unless you specifically request one. The Notice contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of the materials. If you received a paper copy, you can also view these documents on the internet by accessing the Investors area of our website, at https://investors.ryder.com.
    If you are a record shareholder, you may receive future proxy materials electronically. If you vote via the internet, as described on your proxy card, you may sign up for electronic delivery at the same time. If you elect this feature, you will receive an e-mail notifying you where and when the materials are available and instructions for voting by telephone or on the internet.
    We encourage you to sign up for electronic delivery of future proxy materials.
    HOUSEHOLDING
    Shareholders who share the same last name and address will only receive one set of Notices regarding the electronic availability of proxy materials or 2025 Annual Meeting materials, unless they request otherwise. This practice, known as "householding," is intended to eliminate duplicate mailings, lower costs and reduce waste.
    If you are a record shareholder and want to request a separate copy of the 2025 proxy materials, the 2024 Annual Report or the shareholder letter, you may contact us: by calling our Investor Relations Department at (305) 500-4053; in writing to Ryder System, Inc., Attention: Investor Relations Department, 6000 Windward Parkway, Alpharetta, GA 30005; or by e-mailing [email protected]. If you wish to receive separate copies in future mailings, please contact Broadridge by calling (866) 540-7095, or in writing to Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. Our 2024 Annual Report, the shareholder letter and this proxy statement are also available through the Investor Relations area of our website, at https://investors.ryder.com. A copy of any exhibit to the 2024 Annual Report will be forwarded following receipt of a written request for such materials addressed to our Investor Relations Department.
    Two or more shareholders sharing an address that are still receiving multiple copies and wish to request delivery of a single copy of proxy materials should contact Broadridge in the manner set forth above. If a nominee holds your shares, please contact such holder directly to inquire about the possibility of householding.
