Warren, MI – May 5, 2022 — Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ULH) today reported consolidated first quarter 2022 net income of $42.0 million, or $1.56 per basic and diluted share, on total operating revenues of $523.9 million. This compares to net income of $21.7 million, or $0.80 per basic and diluted share, during first quarter 2021 on total operating revenues of $415.2 million. Universal’s first quarter 2022 financial results represent record all-time highs for total operating revenues, operating income and earnings per share.
In the first quarter 2022, Universal’s operating income increased 85.7% to $57.8 million compared to operating income of $31.2 million in the first quarter one year earlier. As a percentage of operating revenue, operating margin for the first quarter 2022 was 11.0% compared to 7.5% during the same period last year. EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased $23.8 million during the first quarter 2022 to $75.0 million, compared to $51.2 million one year earlier. As a percentage of operating revenue, EBITDA margin for the first quarter 2022 was 14.3% compared to 12.3% during the same period last year.
“The first quarter of 2022 set a series of new all-time highs for Universal,” stated Tim Phillips, Universal’s Chief Executive Officer. “During the first thirteen weeks of the year, Universal experienced its highest operating revenues, largest operating income, and best earnings per share, not just for a first quarter, but in all of Universal’s history. Our efforts evaluating operating cost structures and negotiating rate increases with our customers, as well as continued rationalization of underperforming business across our service lines, came to fruition in the first quarter.
I also remain mindful of the challenges facing our industry today. We continue to see supply chain disruptions, a competitive market for equipment and talent, as well as some more recent intermittent shut-downs of our customers’ operations as they are seeking to secure parts to build cars and trucks. However, I believe it’s our job to navigate these challenges, and to continue delivering exceptional service and results. The first quarter of 2022 is off to a great start, and I believe we will find additional execution improvement opportunities as the year unfolds. I am extremely pleased with the talented group of people we have assembled at Universal, and I am confident we will continue to exceed the goals we have set for the year, which includes $2.0 billion in top-line revenue for 2022.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing consolidated financial statements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), we are providing additional financial measures that are not required by or prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP). We present EBITDA and EBITDA margin, each a non-GAAP measure, as supplemental measures of our performance. We define EBITDA as net income plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, and (iv) amortization. We define EBITDA margin as EBITDA as a percentage of total operating revenues. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis.
In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are presenting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP measure. Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:

(a) |
EBITDA margin is computed by dividing EBITDA by total operating revenues for each of the periods indicated. |
We present EBITDA and EBITDA margin because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:
|
• |
EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
|
• |
EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
|
• |
EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts; |
|
• |
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and |
|
• |
Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and EBITDA margin should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and only supplementally on EBITDA and EBITDA margin.
