NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. GENERAL
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder), all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (subsidiaries), and variable interest entities (VIE) where Ryder is determined to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Ryder is deemed to be the primary beneficiary if we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and we share in the significant risks and rewards of the entity. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments require disclosure of specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. The standard is effective beginning with the December 2025 annual financial statements. This ASU does not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments provide for more detailed disaggregation of expenses. The standard is effective beginning with the December 2027 annual financial statements and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure impact of the adoption of this update. This ASU does not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
3. SEGMENT REPORTING
Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as segment "Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes" (EBT), includes an allocation of costs from Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes Non-operating pension costs, net, Intangible amortization expense, and certain other items. The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

Residual Value Estimate Changes
We periodically review and adjust, as appropriate, the estimated residual values of existing revenue earning equipment for the purposes of recording depreciation expense. Reductions in estimated residual values will increase depreciation expense over the remaining useful life of the vehicle. Conversely, an increase in estimated residual values will decrease depreciation expense over the remaining useful life of the vehicle. Our review of the estimated residual values of revenue earning equipment is based on vehicle class (i.e., generally subcategories of trucks, tractors and trailers by weight and usage), historical and current market prices, third-party expected future market prices, expected lives of vehicles, and expected sales in the wholesale or retail markets, among other factors. A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, could cause residual value estimates to differ from actual used vehicle sales pricing, such as changes in supply and demand of used vehicles; volatility in market conditions; changes in vehicle technology; competitor pricing; regulatory requirements; wholesale market prices; customer requirements and preferences; and changes in underlying assumption factors. We have disciplines related to the management and maintenance of our vehicles designed to manage the risk associated with the residual values of our revenue earning equipment. Effective January 1, 2025, we made an immaterial adjustment to certain vehicles' estimated residual values based on this review.
Used Vehicle Sales and Valuation Adjustments
Revenue earning equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses on vehicles held for sale for which carrying values exceeded fair value, which we refer to as "valuation adjustments," are recognized at the time they are deemed to meet the held-for-sale criteria and are presented within "Used vehicle sales, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, we stratify our fleet by vehicle type (trucks, tractors and trailers), weight class, age and other relevant characteristics and create classes of similar assets for analysis purposes. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, fair value was determined based upon recent market prices obtained from our own sales experience for each class of similar assets and vehicle condition, if available, or third-party market pricing. In addition, we also consider expected declines in market prices, as well as forecasted sales channel mix (retail/wholesale) when valuing the vehicles held for sale.

______________________
In April 2025, we amended and restated our corporate revolving credit facility, which supports U.S. and Canadian commercial paper programs, with a syndicate of eleven incumbent lending institutions. The facility's committed borrowing capacity was increased to $1.6 billion and it now expires in April 2030. The credit facility is primarily used for general corporate purposes and can also be used to issue up to $150 million in letters of credit. As of September 30, 2025, there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility.
In April 2025, we extended the trade receivables financing facility for an additional year to April 2026. In September 2025, we amended our trade receivables financing facility to increase our borrowing capacity to $500 million as of September 30, 2025.
10. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we maintained two share repurchase programs approved by our board of directors. The first program authorized management to repurchase up to 2 million shares of common stock issued to employees under our employee stock plans since August 31, 2023, under an anti-dilutive program (the "2023 Anti-Dilutive Program"). The second program granted management discretion to repurchase up to 2 million shares of common stock over a period of two years under a discretionary share repurchase program (the "October 2024 Discretionary Program"). Share repurchases under both programs could have been be made from time to time using our working capital and other borrowing sources. Shares are repurchased under open-market transactions and trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors, including balance sheet leverage, availability of acquisitions and stock price.
In October 2025, our board of directors approved two new share repurchase programs. The first program authorizes management to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of common stock issued to employees under our employee stock plans since
17
RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(unaudited)
August 31, 2025, under an anti-dilutive program (the "2025 Anti-Dilutive Program"). The second program grants management discretion to repurchase up to 2 million shares of common stock over a period of two years under a new discretionary share repurchase program (the "October 2025 Discretionary Program"). Both the 2025 Anti-Dilutive Program and the October 2025 Discretionary Program commenced October 9, 2025 and expire October 9, 2027.
The anti-dilutive share repurchase programs are designed to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans. The discretionary share repurchase programs are designed to provide management with capital structure flexibility while concurrently managing objectives related to balance sheet leverage, acquisition opportunities, and shareholder returns. Shares of common stock are retired upon repurchase.

Non-operating pension costs, net include the amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement benefit costs, as well as any significant charges for settlements or curtailments if recognized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we prefunded future required contributions of $60 million to our U.S. pension plan. We also maintain other postretirement benefit plans that are not reflected in the table above as the amount of postretirement benefit expense for such plans was not material for any period presented.
In April 2025, we executed a bulk annuity contract with a Canadian insurance company that enables us to settle $42 million of our $59 million Canadian pension benefit obligations. This annuity transaction secured future pension benefits to certain pension plan members. We currently maintain all administrative responsibilities for the annuity payments to these pension plan members. The remaining $17 million of Canadian pension benefit obligations will be settled by issuing lump sum payments to pension plan members. Both the bulk annuity contract and the lump sum payments will be funded using Canadian pension plan assets. The bulk annuity transaction will have no impact on our financial position or statement of earnings until administrative responsibilities related to the annuity payments are transferred to the Canadian insurance company. The bulk annuity contract administrative transfer and lump sum payments to pension plan members are both targeted to occur in 2026.
14. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS
We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our continuing business operations, including those relating to commercial and employment claims, environmental matters, risk management matters (e.g., vehicle liability, workers' compensation, etc.) and administrative assessments primarily associated with operating taxes. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. We believe that the resolution of these claims, complaints and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included under Item 1, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related MD&A included in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.
OVERVIEW
Selected Operating Performance Items For The Third Quarter 2025
•Diluted EPS from continuing operations of $3.33, up 2% from prior year
•Comparable EPS (a non-GAAP measure) from continuing operations of $3.57, up 4% from prior year, reflecting higher contractual earnings and share repurchases
•Total revenue of $3.2 billion, consistent with prior year up —%
•Operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure) of $2.6 billion, up 1%, reflecting contractual revenue growth in Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) and Fleet Management Solutions (FMS)
Business Trends
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the strength and diversification of our contractual portfolio and execution of strategic initiatives helped mitigate the impact of weak market conditions on used vehicle sales and commercial rental demand. We continue to benefit from favorable long-term secular trends in logistics and transportation solutions; however, we are experiencing near-term revenue growth headwinds that reflect the extended freight downturn and overall economic uncertainty. The favorable secular trends provide long-term revenue and earnings growth opportunities for all of our business segments.
In our FMS business, solid ChoiceLease performance, driven by our lease pricing and maintenance cost-savings initiatives, delivered strong portfolio returns. Used vehicle sales and rental demand declined from the prior year during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflecting weaker freight market conditions. Rental utilization was 70% and 69% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 71% and 69%, respectively, in the prior year, on a smaller fleet in 2025. We do not anticipate significant improvement in the current freight market conditions for the remainder of the year.
Our SCS business benefited from operating revenue growth and improved operating performance from the optimization of the omnichannel retail network during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, despite unfavorable e-commerce network performance and increased medical costs during the third quarter of 2025. Our Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) business continued to benefit from synergies related to the prior year acquisition of Cardinal Logistics, but generated less revenue given a reduction in fleet count resulting from the prolonged freight market downturn. We expect to realize further benefits from the acquisition for the remainder of 2025.
While we are experiencing positive momentum in our businesses, other unknown effects from inflationary cost pressures, regulatory uncertainty, labor interruptions, introduction of tariffs and taxes and the continued higher interest rate environment may negatively impact demand for our business, financial results and significant judgments and estimates.

(3)Represents total debt divided by total equity.
Total revenue was $3.2 billion in the third quarter of 2025, and $9.5 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, consistent with prior year. Operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) increased 1% in the third quarter of 2025, and 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflecting contractual revenue growth in SCS and FMS.
EBT and comparable EBT increased in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to higher contractual earnings, partially offset by lower used vehicle sales and rental results reflecting weaker market conditions.

Services revenue represents all the revenue associated with our SCS and DTS business segments, including subcontracted transportation and fuel, as well as SelectCare and fleet support services associated with our FMS business segment. Services revenue was consistent in the third quarter and increased 1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by new business and higher customer volumes in SCS and pricing, partially offset by lost business in DTS.
Cost of services represents the direct costs related to services revenue and is primarily comprised of salaries and employee-related costs, subcontracted transportation (purchased transportation from third parties), fuel, insurance and maintenance costs. Cost of services remained consistent in the third quarter of 2025, and increased 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, consistent with revenue.
Services gross margin decreased in the third quarter primarily reflecting e-commerce network performance and higher medical costs.

Fuel services revenue represents fuel services provided to our FMS customers. Fuel services revenue decreased 4% in the third quarter primarily reflecting fewer gallons sold offset by higher fuel costs passed through to customers, and decreased 12% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily reflecting lower fuel costs passed through to customers and fewer gallons sold.
Cost of fuel services includes the direct costs associated with providing our customers with fuel. These costs include fuel, salaries and employee-related costs of fuel island attendants, and depreciation of our fueling facilities and equipment. Cost of fuel services decreased 6% in the third quarter and 13% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflecting lower fuel costs and fewer gallons sold.
Fuel services gross margin and fuel services gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased in the third quarter and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Fuel is largely a pass-through to customers for which we realize minimal changes in margin during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, fuel services margin is impacted by sudden increases or decreases in market fuel prices during a short period of time, as customer pricing for fuel is established based on current market fuel costs. Fuel services gross margin and fuel services gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the third quarter of 2025 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were positively impacted by these price change dynamics.

(2)Refer to Note 13, "Employee Benefit Plans," for a discussion on this item.
As part of management's evaluation of segment operating performance, we define the primary measurement of our segment financial performance as segment "Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes" (Segment EBT), which includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes Non-operating pension costs, net, Intangible amortization expense, and certain other significant items that are not representative of our business operations and vary from period to period. CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including information technology, finance, marketing, human resources, legal, and safety.
The objective of the Segment EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Certain corporate costs are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation.
Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment, and provides rental vehicles, fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the SCS and DTS segments. Inter-segment EBT allocated to SCS and DTS includes earnings related to equipment used in providing services to SCS and DTS customers. EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to SCS and

FMS total revenue was relatively consistent in the third quarter of 2025 and decreased 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to lower fuel service revenue, reflecting fewer gallons sold and lower fuel costs passed through to customers, offset by higher operating revenue. FMS operating revenue remained consistent in the third quarter of 2025 and increased 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily reflecting higher ChoiceLease revenue offset by weaker rental demand.
FMS EBT increased 11% in the third quarter primarily due to higher ChoiceLease performance driven by pricing and lower maintenance costs, partially offset by used vehicle sales and rental results reflecting weaker market conditions. FMS EBT was relatively consistent for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Lower used vehicle results reflect a 15% and 6% decrease in

DTS total revenue decreased 10% in the third quarter of 2025 and 3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to lower operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) and subcontracted transportation costs passed through to customers. DTS operating revenue decreased 6% in the third quarter of 2025, and 1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to lower fleet count reflecting the prolonged freight market downturn.
DTS EBT remained consistent in the third quarter of 2025, and increased 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflecting acquisition synergies and prior year integration costs, partially offset by lower operating revenue.

Financing and Other Funding Transactions
We utilize external capital primarily to support working capital needs and growth in our asset-based product lines. The variety of financing alternatives typically available to fund our capital needs include commercial paper, medium-term and long-term public and private debt, asset-backed securities, bank term loans, leasing arrangements and bank credit facilities. Our principal sources of financing are issuances of unsecured commercial paper and medium-term notes.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $189 million as of September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, $148 million was held outside the U.S. and is available to fund operations and growth of non-U.S. subsidiaries. We consider the historical earnings of our former U.K. business to be no longer indefinitely reinvested. We consider the historical earnings of Mexico, along with our remaining foreign jurisdictions to be permanently reinvested. Federal, state and foreign income taxes, withholding taxes and the tax impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses were considered on the remaining U.K. undistributed earnings as of September 30, 2025, and there was no impact to deferred taxes.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law. OBBBA permanently reinstated 100% tax bonus depreciation, restored earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as the basis for calculating the business interest expense limitation, restored immediate expensing for domestic research and experimental expenditures, and modified the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income regime, among other items. OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025, and others implemented through 2027. We expect these changes to reduce our annual U.S. federal cash tax
35

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
liability by approximately $200 million in 2025 and anticipate it will defer the payment of federal tax for several years. There will be no impact on our 2025 effective income tax rate. We are still in the process of evaluating future year impacts of OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we prefunded future required contributions of $60 million to our U.S. pension plan.
We believe that our operating cash flows, together with our access to the public unsecured bond market, commercial paper market and other available debt financing markets, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs in the foreseeable future. However, volatility or disruption in the public unsecured debt market or the commercial paper market may impair our ability to access these markets or secure terms commercially acceptable to us. If we cease to have access to public bonds, commercial paper and other sources of unsecured borrowings, we would meet our liquidity needs by drawing upon contractually committed lending agreements or by seeking other funding sources.
In February 2025, we issued an unsecured medium-term note with aggregate principal amount of $300 million, bearing annual interest of 5.00%, and maturing on March 15, 2030. In May 2025, we issued an unsecured medium-term note with aggregate principal amount of $300 million, bearing annual interest of 4.85%, and maturing on June 15, 2030.
In April 2025, we amended and restated our corporate revolving credit facility, which supports U.S. and Canadian commercial paper programs, with a syndicate of eleven incumbent lending institutions. The facility's committed borrowing capacity was increased to $1.6 billion and it now expires in April 2030. The credit facility is primarily used for general corporate purposes and can also be used to issue up to $150 million in letters of credit. As of September 30, 2025, there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility.
In April 2025, we extended the trade receivables financing facility for an additional year to April 2026. In September 2025, we amended our trade receivables financing facility to increase our borrowing capacity to $500 million as of September 30, 2025.
Refer to Note 9, "Debt," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our corporate revolving credit facility, trade receivables financing program, medium-term notes and asset-backed financing obligations.
Our ability to access unsecured debt in the capital markets is impacted by both our short-term and long-term debt ratings. These ratings are intended to provide guidance to investors in determining the credit risk associated with our particular securities based on current information obtained by the rating agencies from us or from other sources. Ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold our debt securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs, as well as reduced access to unsecured capital markets. A significant downgrade of our short-term debt ratings would impair our ability to issue commercial paper and likely require us to rely on alternative funding sources. A significant downgrade would not affect our ability to borrow amounts under our corporate revolving credit facility described below, assuming ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit facility.
Our debt ratings and rating outlooks as of September 30, 2025, were as follows:
| Rating Summary | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Short-term | Long-term | Long-term Outlook | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services | A2 | BBB+ | Stable | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
In accordance with our funding philosophy, we attempt to align the aggregate average remaining repricing life of our debt with the aggregate average remaining repricing life of our vehicle assets. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to achieve this alignment and generally target a mix of 20% - 40% variable-rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. The variable-rate portion of our total debt (including notional value of swap agreements) was 22% and 18% as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Our debt-to-equity ratio was 254% and 250% as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The debt-to-equity ratio represents total debt divided by total equity.
Share Repurchases and Cash Dividends.
Refer to Note 10, "Share Repurchase Programs," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on our share repurchase programs.
In October 2025 and 2024, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.91 and $0.81 per share of common stock, respectively.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes information extracted from condensed consolidated financial information, but not required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) to be presented in the financial statements. Certain elements of this information are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined by SEC rules. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. Also, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to financial measures used by other companies. We provide a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure in this non-GAAP financial measures section or in the MD&A above. We also provide the reasons why management believes each non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in this section.
Specifically, we refer to the following non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q:

Set forth in the table below is an overview of each non-GAAP financial measure and why management believes that the presentation of each non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors.
Operating Revenue Measures: | |||||||||||
| Operating Revenue FMS Operating Revenue SCS Operating Revenue DTS Operating Revenue FMS EBT as a % of FMS Operating Revenue SCS EBT as a % of SCS Operating Revenue DTS EBT as a % of DTS Operating Revenue | Operating revenue is defined as total revenue for Ryder or each business segment (FMS, SCS and DTS) excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation. We use operating revenue to evaluate the operating performance of our core businesses and as a measure of sales activity at the consolidated level for Ryder System, Inc., as well as for each of our business segments. We also use segment EBT as a percentage of segment operating revenue for each business segment for the same reason. Note: FMS EBT, SCS EBT and DTS EBT, our primary measures of segment performance, are not non-GAAP measures. Fuel: We exclude FMS, SCS and DTS fuel from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as fuel is an ancillary service that we provide our customers. Fuel revenue is impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices and the costs are largely a pass-through to our customers, resulting in minimal changes in our profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time, as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on current market fuel costs. Subcontracted transportation: We exclude subcontracted transportation from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as these costs are also typically a pass-through to our customers and, therefore, fluctuations result in minimal changes to our profitability. While our SCS and DTS business segments subcontract certain transportation services to third party providers, our FMS business segment does not engage in subcontracted transportation and, therefore, this item is not applicable to FMS. | ||||||||||
Comparable Earnings Measures: | |||||||||||
| Comparable Earnings before Income Taxes (EBT) Comparable Earnings Comparable Earnings per Diluted Common Share (EPS) Comparable Tax Rate Adjusted Return on Equity (ROE) | Comparable EBT, Comparable Earnings and Comparable EPS are defined, respectively, as GAAP EBT, earnings and EPS, all from continuing operations, excluding (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) other items impacting comparability (as further described below). We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors and allow for better year-over-year comparison of operating performance. Non-operating pension costs, net: Our comparable earnings measures exclude non-operating pension costs, net, which include the amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement benefit costs, as well as any significant charges for settlements or curtailments if recognized. We exclude non-operating pension costs, net because we consider these to be impacted by financial market performance and outside the operational performance of our business. Other Items Impacting Comparability: Our comparable and adjusted earnings measures also exclude other significant items that are not representative of our business operations and vary from period to period. Comparable Tax Rate is computed using the same methodology as the GAAP provision for income taxes. Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated based on the marginal tax rates to which the non-GAAP adjustments are related. Adjusted ROE is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by adjusted average shareholders' equity and represents the rate of return on shareholders' investment. Other items impacting comparability described above are excluded, as applicable, from the calculation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted average shareholders' equity. We also exclude any significant charges for pension settlements or curtailments from the calculation of adjusted net earnings. We use adjusted ROE as an internal measure of how effectively we use the owned capital invested in our operations. | ||||||||||
39
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
| Comparable Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) | Comparable EBITDA is defined as net earnings, first adjusted to exclude discontinued operations and the following items, all from continuing operations: (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) any other items that are not representative of our business operations (these items are the same items that are excluded from comparable earnings measures for the relevant periods as described immediately above) and then adjusted further for (1) interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation, (4) used vehicle sales results and (5) intangible amortization. We believe comparable EBITDA provides investors with useful information, as it is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties to measure financial performance and our ability to service debt and meet our payment obligations. We believe that the inclusion of comparable EBITDA also provides consistency in financial reporting and aids investors in performing meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. Our presentation of comparable EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Comparable EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. | ||||||||||
Cash Flow Measures: | |||||||||||
| Total Cash Generated Free Cash Flow | We consider total cash generated and free cash flow to be important measures of comparative operating performance, as our principal sources of operating liquidity are cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment. Total Cash Generated is defined as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment, (3) net cash provided by the sale of operating property and equipment and (4) other cash inflows from investing activities. We believe total cash generated is an important measure of total cash flows generated from our ongoing business activities. Free Cash Flow is defined as the net amount of cash generated from operating activities and investing activities (excluding acquisitions) from continuing operations. We calculate free cash flow as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, and (3) other cash inflows from investing activities, less (4) 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. Our calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. * See Total Cash Generated and Free Cash Flow reconciliations in the Financial Resources and Liquidity section of Management's Discussion and Analysis. | ||||||||||

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) are statements that relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends concerning matters that are not historical facts. These statements are often preceded by or include the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "will," "may," "could," "should" or similar expressions. This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements including statements regarding:

•our expectations regarding the supply of vehicles and vehicle parts and its effect on pricing and demand;
•our expectations regarding the impact of labor shortages and interruptions and subcontracted transportation costs;
•our expectations regarding ChoiceLease revenue and earnings;
•our expectations in our SCS and DTS business segments related to revenue, earnings growth and contract sales activity;

•the anticipated impact of fuel and energy prices;
•our expectations as to return on pension plan assets and future pension expense;
•our expectations regarding the scope and anticipated outcomes with respect to certain claims, proceedings and lawsuits;
•our ability to access commercial paper and other available debt financing in the capital markets;
•our intent to permanently reinvest the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries;

44
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
•our expectations of the long-term residual values of revenue earnings equipment, including the probability of incurring losses or having to decrease residual value estimates in the event of a potential cyclical downturn or changes to the estimated useful lives; and
•our expectations regarding U.S. federal, state and foreign tax positions, tariffs and the realizability of deferred tax assets and changes in foreign tax rates, including the reinstatement of bonus depreciation, restoration of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as the basis for calculating the business interest expense limitation, and modifications to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income regime.
These statements, as well as other forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, are based on our current plans and expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We caution readers that certain important factors could cause actual results and events to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. These risk factors, among others, include the following:
•Market Conditions:
◦Changes and uncertainty regarding economic, financial and market conditions in the U.S. and worldwide leading to decreased demand for our services and products, lower profit margins, increased levels of bad debt, and reduced access to credit and financial markets.
◦Decreases in freight demand which would impact both our transactional and variable-based contractual business.
◦Changes in our customers' operations, financial condition or business environment that may limit their demand for, or ability to purchase, our services and products.
◦Decreases in market demand affecting the commercial rental market and used vehicle sales as well as global economic conditions.
◦Volatility in customer volumes and shifting customer demand in the industries we service.
◦Changes in current financial, tax or other regulatory requirements, such as tariffs, trade restrictions or trade agreements, including the impact to our customers and partners, that could negatively impact our financial and operating results.
◦Financial institution disruptions and geopolitical events or conflicts.
•Competition:
◦Advances in technology may impact demand for our services or may require increased investments to remain competitive, and our customers may not be willing to accept higher prices to cover the cost of these investments.
◦Competition from other service providers, some of which have greater capital resources or lower capital costs, or from our customers, who may choose to provide services themselves.
◦Continued consolidation in the markets where we operate, which may create large competitors with greater financial resources.
◦Our inability to maintain current pricing levels due to economic conditions, demand for services, customer acceptance or competition.
•Profitability:
◦Lower than expected sales volumes or customer retention levels.
◦Decreases in commercial rental fleet utilization and pricing.
◦Adverse conditions in the used vehicle sales market; lower than expected used vehicle sales pricing levels and fluctuations in the anticipated proportion of retail versus wholesale sales.
◦Loss of key customers in our SCS and DTS business segments.
◦Decreases in volume in our omnichannel retail vertical.
◦Our inability to adapt our product offerings to meet changing consumer preferences on a cost-effective basis.
◦The inability of our information technology systems to provide timely and accurate access to data.
◦The inability of our information security program to safeguard our or our stakeholders' data.
45
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
◦Sudden changes in market fuel prices and fuel shortages.
◦Higher prices for vehicles, diesel engines and fuel as a result of new regulations or inflationary pressures.
◦Higher than expected maintenance costs and lower than expected benefits associated with our maintenance initiatives.
◦Lower than expected revenue growth due to production delays at our automotive SCS customers and supply chain disruptions.
◦The inability of an original equipment manufacturer or supplier to provide vehicles or vehicle components as originally scheduled.
◦Our inability to successfully execute our strategic returns and asset management initiatives, maintain our fleet at normalized levels and right-size our fleet in line with demand.
◦Our key assumptions and pricing structure, including any assumptions made with respect to inflation, of our SCS and DTS contracts prove to be inaccurate.
◦Increased unionizing, labor strikes and work stoppages.
◦Difficulties in attracting and retaining professional drivers, warehouse personnel and technicians due to labor shortages, which may result in higher costs to procure drivers and technicians and higher turnover rates affecting our customers.
◦Our inability to manage our cost structure.
◦Our inability to limit our exposure for customer claims.
◦Unfavorable or unanticipated outcomes in legal or regulatory proceedings or uncertain positions.
◦Business interruptions or expenditures due to severe weather or other natural occurrences.
•Financing Concerns:
◦Higher borrowing costs.
◦Increased inflationary pressures.
◦Unanticipated interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations.
◦Negative funding status of our pension plans caused by lower than expected returns on invested assets and unanticipated changes in interest rates.
◦Instability in U.S. and worldwide credit markets, resulting in higher borrowing costs and/or reduced access to credit.
•Accounting Matters:
◦Reductions in residual values or useful lives of revenue earning equipment.
◦Increases in compensation levels, retirement rate and mortality resulting in higher pension expense.
◦Changes in accounting rules, assumptions and accruals.
•Other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC filings including our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in "Item 1A.-Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report.
New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risk factors on our business. As a result, we cannot provide assurance as to our future results or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We do not intend, or assume any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
