Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2022 Revenue and Earnings | ||
Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KNX) ("Knight-Swift" or "the Company"), one of the largest and most diversified freight transportation companies, operating the largest full truckload fleet in North America, today reported second quarter 2022 net income attributable to Knight-Swift of $219.5 million and Adjusted Net Income Attributable 1 to Knight-Swift of $230.2 million. GAAP earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2022 were $1.35, compared to $0.92 for the second quarter of 2021. The Adjusted EPS was $1.41 for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $0.98 for the second quarter of 2021.
| Key Financial Highlights | ||
Each reportable segment achieved double-digit revenue growth while improving margins, leading to consolidated revenue growth of 39.7%, excluding truckload and less-than-truckload ("LTL") fuel surcharge. Consolidated operating income improved 70.5% to $325.8 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the same quarter last year. Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift increased by 43.6% to $219.5 million.
•Truckload — 78.9% Adjusted Operating Ratio, a 200 basis point improvement, supported by an 11.2% year-over-year increase in revenue, excluding fuel surcharge and intersegment transactions.
•LTL — 78.7% Adjusted Operating Ratio, a 720 basis point sequential improvement, as yield remains strong and we continue to capture both revenue and cost synergies.
•Logistics — 82.2% Adjusted Operating Ratio, year-over-year operating income improvement of 204.7%. Load count grew by 48.2%, leading to a 52.5% increase in revenue, excluding intersegment transactions.
•Intermodal — 89.3% operating ratio, a 570 basis point improvement year-over-year, leading to a 143.8% increase in operating income with year-over-year revenue growth of 15.2%.
•Non-reportable Segments — Operating income improvement of 614.6%, supported by revenue growth of 91.8%, from the activities within our operating segments of insurance, equipment maintenance, equipment leasing, and warehousing.
•Free Cash Flow 1 — $528.7 million of free cash flow during the first half of 2022.
•Return on Net Tangible Assets 1 — Return on net tangible assets of 24.8% during the last 12 months, generated through internal growth, acquisitions, and investments.
•Embark Technology Inc. ("Embark") — 2021 initial investment in Embark declined, resulting in an unrealized loss that negatively impacted earnings per diluted share and Adjusted EPS by $0.16 during the second quarter of 2022.

David Jackson, CEO of Knight-Swift, commented, "We achieved double-digit revenue growth and expanded margins in each of our reportable segments during the quarter. Although the spot market softened during the quarter, the Truckload segment operated with a sub-80% Adjusted Operating Ratio, while our Logistics segment grew load count 48.2% and continues to provide significant value to our customers through our power-only and traditional brokerage service offerings. The LTL segment produced a 78.7% Adjusted Operating Ratio during the quarter, as the ACT and MME teams work together to build out a connected super-regional network that will provide additional yield and revenue opportunities. We are encouraged by the LTL yield improvement, the magnitude of the synergies being realized, and the market share growth opportunities. The Intermodal segment continues to build out a freight network that aligns with our new rail partners, while continuing to operate with double-digit margins. Demand continues to strengthen for our non-truckload services, and we believe will lead to further revenue and earnings growth. We believe that our ability to pivot to more contract opportunities, provide scale and flexibility to shippers with excess trailers, along with our diverse customer base and expanding geographical footprint, positions us well to navigate a changing environment in the near term."
Other (Expense) Income, net — We incurred $25.6 million of expense within "Other (expense) income, net" in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to unrealized losses on our investment in Embark. The unrealized losses on our investment in Embark negatively impacted earnings per diluted share and Adjusted EPS by $0.16 for the second quarter of 2022.
Income Taxes — The effective tax rate was 24.7% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 25.3% for the second quarter of 2021. We expect the full-year 2022 effective tax rate to be approximately 25%.
Dividend and Share Repurchases — On April 19, 2022, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. The dividend was payable to the Company's stockholders of record as of June 10, 2022 and was paid on June 27, 2022. During the second quarter of 2022, we spent $150 million on share repurchases, bringing the year-to-date total repurchases to approximately $300 million.

Our Truckload segment includes our irregular route, dedicated, refrigerated, expedited, flatbed, and cross-border operations across our brands with 13,342 irregular route tractors and 4,713 dedicated tractors. Our Truckload segment operated at a 78.9% Adjusted Operating Ratio, which improved by 200 basis points year-over-year. This, along with 11.2% growth in revenue, excluding fuel surcharge and intersegment transactions, led to a 22.4% improvement in Adjusted Operating Income.
Revenue per loaded mile, excluding fuel surcharge and intersegment transactions increased 21.2%. Miles per tractor decreased by 6.6%, which is an improvement from the year-over-year decrease of 9.6% for the first quarter of 2022. These factors ultimately led to an 11.1% increase in average revenue per tractor and improved margins.
We are making modest progress with seating our tractors, leading to improved utilization. We continue to add scale by increasing our trailer count which has grown to approximately 73,000 trailers as of the second quarter of 2022.

Our LTL segment made significant strides in improving margins, operating at a 78.7% Adjusted Operating Ratio during the second quarter of 2022. Revenue, excluding fuel surcharge, per hundredweight was $14.20, while revenue per shipment, excluding fuel surcharge was $151.64. The ACT and MME teams continue to achieve both customer and cost synergies as they connect their network of approximately 100 facilities and door count of 4,300, leading to more freight opportunities and a longer length of haul. During the back half of this year we expect door capacity will grow by 300 doors across 9 new or expanded locations. We continue to look for both organic and inorganic opportunities to geographically expand our footprint within the LTL market.

Demand for our logistics service offering remains strong. We continue to leverage our consolidated fleet of approximately 73,000 trailers to support our power-only service offering. Logistics revenue, excluding intersegment transactions, increased 52.5% as we grew load count by 48.2% while increasing revenue per load by 2.9%. The Adjusted Operating Ratio improved to 82.2%, resulting in a 205.0% increase in Adjusted Operating Income. Logistics gross margin was 24.4% in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 15.7% in the second quarter of 2021.

| Operating ratio | 89.3 | % | 95.0 | % | (570 | bps) | |||||||||||
Operating income increased by 143.8%, as operating ratio improved from 95.0% to 89.3%. We saw meaningful improvements in street and rail velocity in many corridors after volumes in the beginning of the quarter were negatively impacted by longer container and chassis dwell times, as well as inconsistent rail network speeds. These factors contributed to a 39.2% increase in revenue per load, partially offset by a 17.2% decrease in load count. Labor challenges within the rail network appear to be softening, leading to improved notification times and more consistency for our customers.
Network fluidity continues to be a rail market challenge. As a result of our new network and improved service offering, we expect load volumes to inflect positive year-over-year beginning in the third quarter as we grow with new customers and expand with existing customers. To position Intermodal for continued growth, we increased our container count by over 600 during the first half of the year and we anticipate further growth during the second half. Intermodal continues to provide value to our customers and is complementary to the many services we offer.

| Operating income | $ | 17,794 | $ | 2,490 | 614.6 | % | |||||||||||
The non-reportable segments include support services provided to our customers and third-party carriers, including insurance, equipment maintenance, equipment leasing, warehousing, trailer parts manufacturing, and warranty services. Our non-reportable segments also include certain corporate expenses (such as legal settlements and accruals, as well as $11.6 million in quarterly amortization of intangibles related to the 2017 merger between Knight and Swift and certain acquisitions). Strong demand for our insurance, equipment maintenance, equipment leasing, and warehousing services led to a 614.6% improvement in operating income, supported by 91.8% revenue growth within our non-reportable segments. We expect continued growth and income improvement from these segments moving forward.

2"Net (decrease) increase in cash, restricted cash, and equivalents" is derived from changes within "Cash and cash equivalents," "Cash and cash equivalents – restricted," and the long-term portion of restricted cash included in "Other long-term assets" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Liquidity and Capitalization — As of June 30, 2022, we had a balance of $1.2 billion of unrestricted cash and available liquidity and $6.6 billion of stockholders' equity. The face value of our debt, net of unrestricted cash ("Net Debt") was $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2022. Free Cash Flow1 for the first half of 2022 was $528.7 million. During the first half of 2022, we generated $720.0 million in operating cash flows and paid down $38.8 million in long-term debt, $27.6 million in finance lease liabilities, and $19.8 million on our operating lease liabilities. We also repurchased approximately $300 million worth of our shares, and issued $39.7 million in dividends to our stockholders.
Equipment and Capital Expenditures — Gain on sale of revenue equipment increased to $23.0 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $15.1 million in the same quarter of 2021. The average age of the tractor fleet within our Truckload segment was 2.7 years in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 2.4 years in the same quarter of 2021. The average age of the tractor fleet within our LTL segment was 4.6 years in the second quarter of 2022. Cash capital expenditures, net of disposal proceeds, were $191.3 million in the first half of 2022. We expect net cash capital expenditures will be in the range of $550 – $600 million for full-year 2022. Our net cash capital expenditures primarily represent replacements of existing tractors and trailers, as well as investments in our terminal network, driver amenities, and technology.
Guidance — We expect that Adjusted EPS1 for full-year 2022 will range from $5.30 to $5.45, which is an update from our previous expectation of $5.20 to $5.40. Our expected Adjusted EPS1 range is based on the current truckload, LTL, and general market conditions, recent trends, and the current beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of management, as follows:
•Rates inflect negatively year-over-year late in the third quarter and into the fourth quarter as the moderating spot market yields less non-contract opportunities
•Stable truck count with a modest sequential improvement in miles per tractor
•Year-over-year increases in LTL revenue with improved margins
•Increased Logistics load volumes offset by a reduced revenue per load with an operation ratio in the high 80s
•Intermodal margins to remain in the double digits with volumes improving year-over-year
•Continued growth in revenue and operating income in non-reportable
•Inflationary pressure in most cost areas including, maintenance, equipment, and non-driving labor
•Equipment gains to be approximately $20 - $25 million in total for the rest of the year
![]() | 5 | |||||||
•Increased interest rates expected to negatively impact second half 2022 EPS by $0.05 - $0.07 from our previous forecast
•Net cash capital expenditures expected range of $550 - $600 million for the full year 2022
•Approximate tax rate of 25% for the full year 2022
The factors described under "Forward-Looking Statements," among others, could cause actual results to materially vary from this guidance. Further, we cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis, the impact of certain income and expense items on our earnings per share, because these items, which could be significant, may be infrequent, are difficult to predict, and may be highly variable. As a result, we do not provide a corresponding GAAP measure for, or reconciliation to, our Adjusted EPS1 guidance.
________
1See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations in the schedules following this release.
2Our calculation of Adjusted EPS starts with GAAP diluted earnings per share and adds back the after-tax impact of intangible asset amortization (which is expected to be approximately $0.30 for full-year 2022), as well as noncash impairments and certain other unusual items, if any.

| Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations | ||
The terms "Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift," "Adjusted Operating Income," "Adjusted EPS," "Adjusted Operating Ratio," "Free Cash Flow," and "Return on Net Tangible Assets," as we define them, are not presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures supplement our GAAP results in evaluating certain aspects of our business. We believe that using these measures improves comparability in analyzing our performance because they remove the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Management and the board of directors focus on Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Ratio, and Return on Net Tangible Assets as key measures of our performance, all of which are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures and further discussed below. Management and the board of directors use Free Cash Flow as a key measure of our liquidity. Free Cash Flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We believe our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance.
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Ratio, Free Cash Flow, and Return on Net Tangible Assets, are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures, such as net income, cash flows from operating activities, operating margin, or other measures prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. Although we believe that they improve comparability in analyzing our period to period performance, they could limit comparability to other companies in our industry if those companies define these measures differently. Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered measures of income generated by our business or discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis.

3"Amortization of intangibles" reflects the non-cash amortization expense relating to intangible assets identified in the 2017 Merger, the July 5, 2021 ACT acquisition, and other acquisitions.
4"Impairments" reflects the following non-cash impairments:
•First quarter 2022 impairment reflects the non-cash impairment of building improvements (within our non-reportable segments).
•2021 impairments related to certain revenue equipment held for sale (within the non-reportable segments and the Truckload segment).
5"Legal accruals" are included in "Miscellaneous operating expenses" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and reflect the following:
•During the second quarter of 2022, the Company decreased the estimated exposure related to an accrued legal matter previously identified as probable and estimable in prior periods based on a recent settlement agreement.
•Third quarter 2021 reversal related to an accrued legal matter previously identified as probable in 2019. This was based on the recent decision of the appellate court, resulting in a change to a remote likelihood that a loss was incurred. Additional 2021 legal costs relate to certain class action lawsuits arising from employee and contract related matters.
6"Transaction fees consist of legal and professional fees associated with the acquisitions of UTXL, ACT, and MME. The transaction fees are included within "Miscellaneous operating expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
7"Write-off of deferred debt issuance costs" is included within "Other income, net" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for 2021. The loss was incurred as a result of replacing the 2017 Debt Agreement with the 2021 Debt Agreement in September.

2 Disclosure This presentation, including documents incorporated herein by reference, will contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Please review our disclosures in filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP Financial Data This presentation includes the use of adjusted operating income, operating ratio, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted income before taxes, adjusted operating expenses, return on net tangible assets, and free cash flow, which are financial measures that are not in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Each such measure is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors and lenders. While management believes such measures are useful for investors, they should not be used as a replacement for financial measures that are in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our use of these non-GAAP measures should not be interpreted as indicating that these or similar items could not occur in future periods. In addition, adjusted operating ratio excludes truckload and LTL segment fuel surcharges from revenue and nets these surcharges against fuel expense.
