LANDSTAR SYSTEM REPORTS ALL-TIME QUARTERLY RECORD
DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $2.40 IN THE 2021 SECOND QUARTER
Jacksonville, FL - Landstar System, Inc. (NASDAQ: LSTR) reported all-time quarterly record net income of $92.3 million, or $2.40 per diluted share, in the 2021 second quarter, on record quarterly revenue of $1.571 billion. Landstar reported net income of $24.3 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, on $824 million of revenue in the 2020 second quarter. Gross profit (defined as revenue less the cost of purchased transportation and commissions to agents) also reached an all-time quarterly record of $220.8 million in the 2021 second quarter compared to $113.1 million in the 2020 second quarter. Given the significant adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. economy and the Company’s financial results during the 2020 second quarter, quarter-over-prior-year-quarter comparisons are not meaningful. Comparing the 2021 second quarter to the 2021 first quarter, however, puts into context the strength of our 2021 second quarter financial performance. 2021 first quarter revenue was the second highest quarterly revenue in Landstar history and 2021 first quarter gross profit established a new all-time quarterly record. In the 2021 second quarter compared to the 2021 first quarter, revenue increased $283 million and gross profit increased approximately $32 million. These amounts of growth in revenue and gross profit from the 2021 first quarter to the 2021 second quarter were each all-time first to second quarter records.
Truck transportation revenue hauled by independent business capacity owners (“BCOs”) and truck brokerage carriers in the 2021 second quarter was $1.444 billion, or 92 percent of revenue, compared to $753 million, or 91 percent of revenue, in the 2020 second quarter. Truckload transportation revenue hauled via van equipment in the 2021 second quarter was $970.9 million compared to $483.0 million in the 2020 second
LANDSTAR SYSTEM/2
quarter. Truckload transportation revenue hauled via unsided/platform equipment in the 2021 second quarter was $444.3 million compared to $247.4 million in the 2020 second quarter. Revenue hauled by rail, air and ocean cargo carriers was $104.6 million, or 7 percent of revenue, in the 2021 second quarter compared to $53.8 million, or 7 percent of revenue, in the 2020 second quarter.
Trailing twelve-month return on average shareholders’ equity was 41 percent and return on invested capital, representing net income divided by the sum of average equity plus average debt, was 36 percent. During the 2021 second quarter, Landstar purchased 150,000 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $23.8 million. The Company is currently authorized to purchase up to 1,671,030 additional 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 $0.25 per share payable on August 27, 2021, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 9, 2021. This quarterly dividend includes a $0.04 per share increase, or 19 percent, over the amount of the Company’s regular quarterly dividend declared following each of the prior four quarters. The $0.04 per share increase is the largest increase in the Company’s regularly scheduled quarterly dividend in the Company’s history. It is currently the intention of the Board to pay dividends on a quarterly basis going forward.
“Following a record-breaking 2021 first quarter, Landstar’s 2021 second quarter set a new standard as the best quarterly financial performance in our history. 2021 second quarter revenue, gross profit, net income and diluted earnings per share each set all-time quarterly records. 2021 second quarter operating margin, representing operating income divided by gross profit, was 55.4 percent, also an all-time quarterly record,” said Landstar President and CEO Jim Gattoni. “Our truckload volume in the second quarter exceeded the 2021 first quarter by over 12 percent, the second largest first quarter to second quarter increase in over 10 years. This outperformance was particularly impressive considering we were following an already record-setting first quarter. We attribute this strong demand to an ongoing, broad-based economic recovery, with particular strength in consumer spending, that has been a big driver of freight activity.”
LANDSTAR SYSTEM/3
Gattoni continued, “Revenue from truck loads hauled via van equipment exceeded the 2020 second quarter by 101 percent and was also 60 percent above the corresponding period from 2019. Revenue from truck loads hauled via unsided/platform equipment exceeded the 2020 second quarter by 80 percent and was 31 percent above the same period in 2019. Consumer demand for durable goods, building products, and e-commerce, which were strong in the first quarter of 2021, continued to drive record quarterly van revenue, while revenue generated via unsided/platform equipment benefitted from growth in the U.S. metals and machinery sectors. For revenue generated via van equipment in the 2021 second quarter compared to the 2020 second quarter, the number of loads (volume) and revenue per load (rate) increased 43 percent and 40 percent, respectively, while the growth in volume and rate compared to the same period in 2019 was 19 percent and 35 percent, respectively. Revenue from truck loads hauled via unsided/platform equipment continued to improve in comparison to the softer conditions that existed throughout most of 2020. The number of loads (volume) and revenue per load (rate) on loads hauled via unsided/platform equipment in the 2021 second quarter exceeded the 2020 second quarter by 35 percent and 33 percent, respectively, and were higher than the corresponding period in 2019 by 10 percent and 19 percent, respectively.”
Gattoni further stated, “In our 2021 first quarter earnings release on April 21, 2021, we provided second quarter revenue guidance of $1.40 billion to $1.45 billion and second quarter diluted earnings per share guidance of $2.20 to $2.30. On May 28, 2021, we revised our initial guidance based on trends in volume and rates through the first seven weeks of the second quarter. Our updated 2021 second quarter guidance issued on May 28th reflected our expectation that revenue per load on loads hauled via truck would exceed the 2021 first quarter in a high single-digit percentage range and the number of loads hauled via truck in the 2021 second quarter would exceed the 2021 first quarter in a low double-digit percentage range. Actual revenue per load on loads hauled via truck in the 2021 second quarter compared to the 2021 first quarter increased 7.5 percent and the number of loads hauled via truck in the 2021 second quarter compared to the 2021
LANDSTAR SYSTEM/4
first quarter increased 12.5 percent, each in-line with our May 28th revised guidance and as summarized in the following chart:
| % growth vs. first quarter 2021 | ||||||
| Original | Revised | |||||
| Second Quarter 2021 | Guidance | Guidance | Actual | |||
| Truck revenue per load |
4% -6% | High single digit | 7.5% | |||
| Number of truck loads |
4% -6% | Low double digit | 12.5% | |||
Based on our expectations as to truck load volume and pricing, our May 28th updated guidance anticipated that revenue and diluted earnings per share would each be slightly above the high end of our previously issued 2021 second quarter guidance. Actual 2021 second quarter revenue was $1.571 billion and diluted earnings per share was $2.40, both generally in-line with our May 28th updated guidance.”
Gattoni continued, “As we’ve discussed, our second quarter year-over-prior-year revenue and diluted earnings per share comparisons were not meaningful due to the adverse impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on the Company’s 2020 second quarter financial results. As we look to the 2021 third quarter, comparisons to prior year should begin to normalize as the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial results significantly receded during the 2020 third quarter. While our year-over-year comparisons will be more challenging, our outlook for the 2021 third quarter is for continued solid performance on the expectation that broad-based economic strength will support a strong freight environment for the near future. In addition, we will likely continue to be in a capacity-constrained environment, which should continue to support elevated revenue per truck load in the third quarter.”
“Historically, revenue in the Company’s third fiscal quarter has been relatively consistent with revenue generated in the Company’s second fiscal quarter. We also typically see our revenue per load on loads hauled via truck in the third quarter to be slightly higher than the second quarter, and the number of loads hauled via truck in the third quarter to be slightly below the second quarter. Through the first few weeks of July, revenue per load on loads hauled via truck and the number of loads hauled via truck are trending fairly consistent with historical second quarter to third quarter sequential patterns. I expect these trends to continue and as such, I anticipate revenue for the 2021 third quarter to be in a range of $1.55 billion to $1.60 billion.”
LANDSTAR SYSTEM/5
“Based on the range of revenue estimated and assuming insurance and claims costs of 4.6 percent of BCO revenue, I would anticipate diluted earnings per share to be in a range of $2.20 to $2.30 in the 2021 third quarter. As it relates to our third quarter estimate of insurance and claims costs, these costs were 3.8 percent of BCO revenue over the first half of 2021. Our third quarter estimate reflects an increased estimate of insurance and claims costs due to the potential reversion of claim costs to be more in line with historical trends over a longer period of time, increased premiums relating to auto liability coverage that we are paying to third party insurance companies and increased severity we have already experienced during the first several weeks of July as compared to the 2021 first half, mostly due to a small number of specific incidents.”
Gattoni concluded, “Landstar’s first half performance has been outstanding. The Company’s agent family is executing on all cylinders and we continue to add qualified truck capacity to the network. Given the exceptional performance by Landstar through the first half, 2021 is well on its way to be a record setting year.”
