LANDSTAR SYSTEM REPORTS ALL-TIME QUARTERLY RECORD
DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $2.01 IN THE 2021 FIRST QUARTER
Jacksonville, FL - Landstar System, Inc. (NASDAQ: LSTR) reported all-time quarterly record net income of $77.2 million, or $2.01 per diluted share, in the 2021 first quarter, on record first quarter revenue of $1.288 billion. In the 2020 first quarter, net income was $40.9 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, on $927.6 million of revenue. 2021 first quarter revenue, net income and diluted earnings per share increased 39 percent, 89 percent and 93 percent, respectively, over the 2020 first quarter. Gross profit (defined as revenue less the cost of purchased transportation and commissions to agents) was an all-time quarterly record $189.2 million in the 2021 first quarter, 32 percent above 2020 first quarter gross profit of $142.9 million. Note that the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. economy in early 2020 did not have a significant impact on Landstar’s first quarter 2020 results, but did have a significant impact on the Company’s 2020 second quarter results.
Truck transportation revenue hauled by independent business capacity owners (“BCOs”) and truck brokerage carriers in the 2021 first quarter was $1,193.5 million, or 93 percent of revenue, compared to $854.6 million, or 92 percent of revenue, in the 2020 first quarter. Truckload transportation revenue hauled via van equipment in the 2021 first quarter was $827.2 million compared to $545.3 million in the 2020 first quarter. Truckload transportation revenue hauled via unsided/platform equipment in the 2021 first quarter was $340.6 million compared to $286.3 million in the 2020 first quarter. Revenue hauled by rail, air and ocean cargo carriers was $79.3 million, or 6 percent of revenue, in the 2021 first quarter compared to $54.7 million, or 6 percent of revenue, in the 2020 first quarter.
LANDSTAR SYSTEM/2
Trailing twelve month return on average shareholders’ equity was 33 percent and return on invested capital, representing net income divided by the sum of average equity plus average debt, was 29 percent. The Company is currently authorized to purchase up to 1,821,030 shares of the Company’s common stock under its previously announced share purchase program. Landstar announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share payable on May 28, 2021, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 6, 2021. It is currently the intention of the Board to pay dividends on a quarterly basis going forward.
“Landstar’s 2021 first quarter set a new standard as the best first quarter financial performance in our history. Revenue was the second highest quarterly revenue in Landstar’s history, second only to the 2020 fourth quarter. And, 2021 first quarter gross profit, net income and diluted earnings per share were each all-time quarterly records. First quarter 2021 operating margin, representing operating income divided by gross profit, was 54.6 percent, also an all-time quarterly record,” said Landstar President and CEO Jim Gattoni. “Typically, truckload volumes in the first quarter of any year are softer than in the second, third and fourth quarters due to seasonality. Given the exceptional performance by Landstar in the 2021 first quarter, I believe the stage has now been set for what should be a record-setting year.”
“Revenue from truck loads hauled via van equipment exceeded the 2020 first quarter by 52 percent, and revenue from truck loads hauled via unsided/platform equipment exceeded the 2020 first quarter by 19 percent. Consumer demand for durables, building products and e-commerce drove record quarterly van revenue, while growth in the U.S. metals and machinery sectors continued to drive improvement in unsided/platform equipment performance. For revenue generated via van equipment in the 2021 first quarter compared to the 2020 first quarter, the number of loads increased 17 percent and revenue per load increased 30 percent. Revenue from truck loads hauled via unsided/platform equipment continued to improve from the softer conditions that existed throughout most of 2020. The number of loads and revenue per load on loads hauled via unsided/platform equipment in the 2021 first quarter exceeded the 2020 first quarter by 5 percent and 14 percent, respectively.”
LANDSTAR SYSTEM/3
Gattoni continued, “In our 2020 year-end earnings release on January 27, 2021, we provided first quarter revenue guidance of $1.10 billion to $1.15 billion and first quarter diluted earnings per share guidance of $1.55 to $1.65. Actual 2021 first quarter revenue was $1.288 billion and diluted earnings per share was $2.01, both significantly above the high end of our previously issued guidance. Our 2021 first quarter guidance reflected our expectation that revenue per load on loads hauled via truck would exceed the 2020 first quarter in a mid-teen percentage range and the number of loads hauled via truck in the 2021 first quarter would exceed the 2020 first quarter in a high single digit percentage range. Actual performance in the 2021 first quarter significantly exceeded our expectations, as summarized in the following chart:
| % growth over prior year | ||||||||||
| Actual Q4 2020 |
Guidance Q1 2021 |
Actual Q1 2021 |
||||||||
| Truck revenue per load |
17 | % | 14% - 16% | 24 | % | |||||
| Number of truck loads |
13 | % | 7% - 9% | 13 | % | |||||
As noted above, revenue per load and the number of loads hauled via truck in the 2021 first quarter exceeded the 2020 first quarter by 24 percent and 13 percent, respectively, as our assumption of decelerating year-over-year volume growth in February and March on softening consumer demand did not transpire. The winter storms that impacted much of the central portion of the country during the last week of Landstar’s fiscal February had a significant impact on freight volumes during that week. We believe these storms temporarily delayed many loads that otherwise would have been hauled in February to instead be hauled in March. After taking this short-term impact into consideration, load volume and revenue per load on loads hauled via truck remained strong through the entirety of the 2021 first quarter and were generally in-line with historical seasonal month-to-month trends, with the exception of truck revenue per load in fiscal March. Revenue per load on loads hauled via truck in March 2021 exceeded March 2020 by an impressive 31 percent, far above the 18 percent and 19 percent month-over-prior-year-month growth experienced in January and February 2021, respectively. Revenue per load on loads hauled via van and unsided/platform equipment both experienced unusually large percentage increases from February to March.”
LANDSTAR SYSTEM/4
Gattoni continued, “Second quarter year-over-prior-year revenue and diluted earnings per share comparisons are not meaningful due to the adverse impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on the Company’s 2020 second quarter financial results. On a sequential basis, I expect the strong finish to the 2021 first quarter to continue through the 2021 second quarter. As a result, I expect both revenue per load and the number of loads hauled via truck to be in a mid-single digit percentage range above the 2021 first quarter. As such, I anticipate revenue for the 2021 second quarter to be in a range of $1.40 billion to $1.45 billion.”
Gattoni concluded, “Based on the range of revenue estimated for the 2021 second quarter, I would anticipate diluted earnings per share to be in a range of $2.20 to $2.30. This range of diluted earnings per share includes insurance and claims expense estimated at 4.3 percent of BCO revenue.”
