(NYSE: R) reported results for the three months ended March 31 as follows: Ryder is a leader in supply chain, dedicated transportation, and fleet management solutions.

Our results continue to demonstrate the earnings power and resiliency of our transformed business model. “We’re encouraged by the positive momentum in contractual sales, with record sales performance continuing in SCS and stronger sales in FMS and DTS. We also experienced improving trends in used vehicle sales, and rental demand reflected historical seasonal patterns. “Year-over-year earnings growth in FMS was driven primarily by higher contractual results, reflecting benefits from our ongoing execution on strategic initiatives. SCS delivered another quarter of strong earnings performance, although results were down relative to a record quarter in the prior year. DTS continued to be impacted by a lower fleet count due to a prolonged freight downturn. “We remain confident that Ryder will benefit from a meaningful earnings uplift by the next cycle peak, with the largest impact expected in our transactional rental and used vehicle sales businesses. “The structural changes embedded in our transformed model are enabling the business to deliver solid ROE of 17% in the current environment. In addition, the earnings power of our high-quality contractual portfolio continues to generate higher operating cash flow and increased capital deployment capacity, enabling us to fund profitable growth while returning capital to shareholders.” First Quarter 2026 Segment Review Fleet Management Solutions: Earnings Growth Driven by Contractual Business Performance (In millions) 1Q26 1Q25 Change Total Revenue $ 1,461 1,447 1% Operating Revenue(1) $ 1,265 1,260 —% Earnings Before Tax (EBT) $ 99 94 6% EBT as a % of total revenue 6.8% 6.5% 30 bps EBT as a % of operating revenue(1) 7.9% 7.5% 40 bps 7.9% 7.5% (1) Non-GAAP financial measure excluding fuel services revenue.

Our comparable effective income tax rate (a non-GAAP measure) from continuing operations was 20.9%, as compared to 25.6% in the prior year. The decrease in the tax rates was primarily due to excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation in the first quarter of 2026. Capital Expenditures, Cash Flow, and Leverage Capital expenditures decreased to $409 million in 2026 compared to $536 million in 2025, primarily reflecting the timing of ChoiceLease fleet replacement and reduced investments in the rental fleet. Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $583 million, compared to $651 million in 2025, primarily reflecting higher working capital needs. Free cash flow (non-GAAP) of $273 million, compared to $259 million in 2025, primarily reflecting reduced cash capital expenditures partially offset by lower cash provided by operating activities. Debt-to-equity as of March 31, 2026 was 269%, up from year-end 2025, and is in the company's long-term target of 250% to 300%. Outlook “We are on track for another year of earnings growth in 2026, driven by execution on $70 million in incremental benefits from strategic initiatives,” says Ryder Chief Financial Officer Cristina Gallo-Aquino. “We are raising our EPS forecast range to reflect stronger than expected first-quarter performance and our expectations for modest improvement in used vehicle market conditions. “Free cash flow is expected to remain strong in 2026, and we expect our capital deployment capacity to continue to enable us to support profitable growth while returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.” Full Year 2026 Outlook Total Revenue Growth 3% Operating Revenue Growth (non-GAAP) 3% FY26 GAAP EPS $13.15 - $13.90 FY26 Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) $14.05 - $14.80 ROE (non-GAAP) 17% - 18% Net Cash from Operating Activities from Continuing Operations $2.7B Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP) $700M - $800M Capital Expenditures $2.4B Debt-to-Equity 230% Second Quarter 2026 2Q26 GAAP EPS $3.15 - $3.40 2Q26 Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) $3.50 - $3.75 Supplemental Company Information Business Description Ryder System, Inc. is a leading supply chain, dedicated transportation, and fleet management solutions company.

Note: Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements and information included in this news release are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding: our forecast and outlook; market conditions, including macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical events; rental demand and utilization; used vehicle sales volume and pricing; the freight cycle, including the impact of the prolonged downturn, cycle timing and the pace and strength of any recovery; expected financial performance, including total and operating revenue, EPS and comparable EPS, adjusted ROE, earnings before income tax, net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, free cash flow, capital expenditures, debt-to-equity, and the underlying drivers of change; expectations regarding continued execution of our business model; pricing actions and maintenance cost savings initiatives; long-term growth opportunities and secular growth trends; used vehicle inventory levels and fleet size; growth and continued strong earnings performance in our contractual businesses; the omnichannel retail network; our capital deployment capacity; our ability to increase returns and create long-term value; and our ability to return capital to shareholders, including through share repurchases and dividends. Our forward-looking statements also include estimates regarding the impact of residual value assumptions on earnings and depreciation expense. These estimates are based, in part, on our current assessment of the residual values and useful lives of revenue-earning equipment informed by multi-year trends and our outlook for near- and long-term used vehicle market conditions. 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, including changes to taxes or tariffs; driver shortages; customer requirements and preferences; and changes in underlying assumption factors. All of our forward-looking statements should be evaluated by considering the many risks and uncertainties inherent in our business that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include: changes and uncertainty regarding financial, economic and market conditions in the U.S. and worldwide; supply chain and labor challenges and vehicle production constraints, including original equipment manufacturer (OEM) delays; the effect of geopolitical events; our ability to adapt to changing market conditions, including lower than expected contractual sales, decreases in rental demand or utilization, poor acceptance of rental pricing, declining market demand for or excess supply of used vehicles impacting current or estimated pricing, and our anticipated proportion of retail versus wholesale sales; declining customer demand for our services; higher than expected maintenance costs; lower than expected benefits from our cost-savings initiatives; our ability to effectively and efficiently integrate acquisitions into our business; lower than expected benefits from our sales, marketing and new product initiatives; setbacks in the economic market or in our ability to retain profitable customer accounts; impact of changing laws and regulations, such as taxes, tariffs, trade restrictions or trade agreements, including the impact to our customers and partners; difficulty in obtaining adequate profit margins for our services; inability to maintain current pricing levels due to, for example, economic conditions, business interruptions, expenditures, labor disputes and extreme weather or other natural occurrences; competition from other service providers; changes in technology and new entrants; professional driver and technician shortages resulting in higher procurement costs and turnover rates; impact of supply chain disruptions; higher than expected bad debt reserves or write-offs; decrease in credit ratings; increased debt costs; adequacy of accounting estimates; higher than expected reserves and accruals particularly with respect to pension, taxes, insurance and revenue; impact of changes in our residual value estimates and accounting policies, including our depreciation policy; unanticipated changes in fuel and alternative energy prices; unanticipated currency exchange rate fluctuations; fluctuations in inflation or interest rates; our ability to manage our cost structure; the inability of our information technology systems to provide timely and accurate access to data or of our information security program to safeguard our or our stakeholders' data; and the risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The risks included here are not exhaustive. New risks 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 risks on our business. Accordingly, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

AND SUBSIDIARIES APPENDIX - NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE RECONCILIATIONS - UNAUDITED Set forth in the table below is an overview of each non-GAAP financial measure and why management believes that presentation of each non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors. See reconciliations for each of these measures following this table. Operating Revenue Measures: Operating Revenue FMS Operating Revenue SCS Operating Revenue DTS Operating Revenue Operating Revenue Growth 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, carrier rate 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. 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) other items impacting comparability (in each of (1) and (2), as defined in comparable earnings measures 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. RYDER SYSTEM, INC.
