LANDSTAR SYSTEM REPORTS ALL-TIME QUARTERLY RECORD

DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $2.58 IN THE 2021 THIRD QUARTER

Jacksonville, FL—Landstar System, Inc. (NASDAQ:LSTR) reported record quarterly revenue of $1.734 billion in the 2021 third quarter, a 60 percent increase over revenue of $1.086 billion in the 2020 third quarter. Net income was a quarterly record of $98.7 million, or diluted earnings per share of $2.58, in the 2021 third quarter compared to net income of $61.9 million, or diluted earnings per share of $1.61, in the 2020 third quarter. Operating income grew to an all-time quarterly record of $131.4 million in the 2021 third quarter, 60 percent above operating income of $82.4 million in the 2020 third quarter. To put the strength of our 2021 third quarter performance in perspective, revenue, operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share increased 60 percent, 60 percent, 59 percent and 60 percent, respectively, over the 2020 third quarter, which at the time included the second highest amounts achieved of each of these financial metrics in any third quarter in the Company’s history.

Please note that commencing with the release of our financial results for the 2021 third quarter, the Company revised its definition of the term “gross profit”. Gross profit is now defined as revenue less costs of revenue. In conjunction with this change, the Company has initiated the use of the term “variable contribution”, a non-GAAP financial measure, to refer to the amount represented by revenue less the costs of purchased transportation and commissions to agents that we formerly referred to as gross profit. In addition, the Company now defines “gross profit margin” to refer to gross profit divided by revenue and “variable contribution margin”, a non-GAAP financial measure, to refer to variable contribution divided by revenue. Gross profit in the 2021 third quarter was $189.2 million, an all-time quarterly record, compared to $119.8 million in the 2020 third quarter. Variable

contribution also reached an all-time quarterly record of $242.3 million in the 2021 third quarter compared to $160.9 million in the 2020 third quarter. A tabulation of the expenses identified as costs of revenue as well as a reconciliation of gross profit to variable contribution and gross profit margin to variable contribution margin for the 2021 and 2020 third quarters and year-to-date periods is provided in the Company’s accompanying financial disclosures.

Trailing twelve-month return on average shareholders’ equity was 43 percent and return on invested capital, representing net income divided by the sum of average equity plus average debt, was 38 percent. During the 2021 third quarter, Landstar purchased 167,000 shares of its common stock bringing the year-to-date number of shares purchased to 317,000 at an aggregate cost of $50 million. The Company is currently authorized to purchase up to approximately 1,504,000 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 December 3, 2021, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 2021. It is currently the intention of the Board to pay dividends on a quarterly basis going forward.

Truck transportation revenue hauled by independent business capacity owners (“BCOs”) and truck brokerage carriers in the 2021 third quarter was $1.581 billion, or 91 percent of revenue, compared to $1.006 billion, or 93 percent of revenue, in the 2020 third quarter. Revenue hauled by rail, air and ocean cargo carriers was $128.6 million, or 7 percent of revenue, in the 2021 third quarter compared to approximately $62 million, or 6 percent of revenue, in the 2020 third quarter.

The supplemental information schedule included as a table to this press release includes changes to the historical classification of truck services and equipment type. Power-only, expedited, straight truck, cargo van and miscellaneous other truck transportation services that were formerly included in revenue from van or unsided/platform services have been classified in a single line item named “other truck transportation” as demand for these types of truck services increased significantly during the pandemic. Other truck transportation revenue was 13.2 percent and 10.8 percent of total truck transportation revenue in the 2021 and 2020 third quarters, respectively.


LANDSTAR SYSTEM/ 3

 

Truckload transportation revenue hauled via van equipment in the 2021 third quarter was $918.1 million, an increase of 59 percent compared to $578.2 million in the 2020 third quarter. Truckload transportation revenue hauled via unsided/platform equipment in the 2021 third quarter was $423.0 million, an increase of 44 percent compared to $294.3 million in the 2020 third quarter. Other truck transportation revenue, which includes power only, expedited, straight truck, cargo van and miscellaneous other truck transportation revenue, in the 2021 third quarter was $208.8 million, an increase of 92 percent compared to $108.6 million in the 2020 third quarter.

“Following a record-breaking 2021 second quarter, the 2021 third quarter reset the standard as the best quarterly financial performance in Landstar history. 2021 third quarter revenue, gross profit, variable contribution, net income and diluted earnings per share each set all-time quarterly records,” said Landstar President and CEO Jim Gattoni. “Our load volume hauled by truck in the third quarter grew 22 percent compared to the 2020 third quarter, which at the time was the second highest third quarter load volume hauled by truck in Landstar history. Additionally, third quarter truck loadings increased from the 2021 second quarter by 3.5 percent, the second largest ever increase in truck loadings from the second to the third quarter in Landstar history behind only 2020 when the second quarter included the most significant volume declines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our 2021 third quarter performance was particularly impressive considering we were following an already record-setting second quarter, and, in most years, load volume hauled by truck experiences a slight decrease sequentially from the second quarter to the third quarter. We attribute this unseasonal increase in volume to ongoing, broad-based demand for freight transportation services, with particular strength in sectors benefiting from consumer spending that has continued to be a big driver of freight activity.”


LANDSTAR SYSTEM/ 4

 

Gattoni continued, “In our 2021 second quarter earnings release on July 21, 2021, we provided third quarter revenue guidance of $1.55 billion to $1.60 billion and third quarter diluted earnings per share guidance of $2.20 to $2.30. On August 17, 2021, we filed a Form 8-K with the SEC that revised our initial guidance based on trends in volume and rates through the first seven weeks of the third quarter. Our updated 2021 third quarter guidance reflected our expectation that on a sequential basis revenue per load on loads hauled via truck would exceed the 2021 second quarter in a mid-single-digit percentage range and the number of loads hauled via truck in the 2021 third quarter would exceed the 2021 second quarter in a low single-digit percentage range. Actual sequential growth in truck revenue per load was 5.8 percent and actual sequential growth in load volume hauled via truck was 3.5 percent, each at the high end of our August 17th revised guidance. Based on our expectations as to volume and pricing on loads hauled by truck, our August 17th updated guidance anticipated that revenue would be in the range of $1.68 billion to $1.72 billion and diluted earnings per share would be in the range of $2.45 to $2.55. Actual 2021 third quarter revenue was $1.734 billion and diluted earnings per share was $2.58, each slightly exceeding the top end of our August 17th updated guidance ranges.”

Gattoni continued, “As we look to the 2021 fourth quarter, we anticipate 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 truck revenue per load in the fourth quarter.”

Gattoni further stated, “Overall, I expect the 2021 fourth quarter financial results to be similar to the 2021 third quarter. Through the first few weeks of October, revenue per load on loads hauled via truck and the number of loads hauled via truck are trending fairly consistent with historical third to fourth quarter sequential patterns. I expect normal seasonal trends in revenue per load and load volume on loads hauled via truck as we move through the final months of 2021. At those levels, both revenue per load and load volume on loads hauled via truck would establish new fourth quarter records in the 2021 fourth quarter. As such, I anticipate revenue for the 2021 fourth quarter to be in a range of $1.70 billion to $1.75 billion. Based on that range of revenue and assuming insurance and claims costs of 4.3 percent of BCO revenue, I anticipate diluted earnings per share to be in a range of $2.55 to $2.65 in the 2021 fourth quarter.”


LANDSTAR SYSTEM/ 5

 

Gattoni concluded, “Landstar’s performance so far this year has been outstanding. The Company’s agent family is executing on all cylinders and we continue to add qualified truck capacity. We ended the 2021 third quarter with a record number of trucks provided by BCOs and a record active third-party truck brokerage carrier count. Given the exceptional performance by Landstar year-to-date plus the revenue and earnings estimates we have provided for the 2021 fourth quarter, we anticipate establishing new all-time fiscal year records in 2021 with annual revenue expected to be in excess of $6 billion and diluted earnings per share expected to be in excess of $9.55. Both of these figures would be well above Landstar’s existing record performance in any year in our history and would represent remarkable achievements to cap an extraordinary year for the Company, its employees and the thousands of business owners who participate in the Landstar network.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: In this slide presentation, the Company provides the following information that may be deemed a non-GAAP financial measure: variable contribution, variable contribution margin and operating income as a percentage of variable contribution as well as operating income as a percentage of gross profit and operating income as a percentage of variable contribution, each in the 2020 year-to-date period, excluding the impact of pandemic relief incentive payments. Management believes variable contribution and variable contribution margin are useful measures of the variable costs that we incur at a shipment-by-shipment level attributable to our transportation network of third-party capacity providers and independent agents in order to provide services to our customers. Management believes that operating income as a percentage of variable contribution is a useful measure as: (i) variable costs of revenue for a significant portion of the Company’s business are highly influenced by short-term market-based trends in the freight transportation industry, whereas other costs, including other costs of revenue, are much less impacted by short-term freight market trends; and (ii) this measure is meaningful to investors’ evaluations of the Company’s management of costs attributable to operations other than the purely variable costs associated with purchased transportation and commissions to agents that the Company incurs to provide services to our customers. Management also believes that it is appropriate to present each of the financial measures that may be deemed a non-GAAP financial measure, as referred to above, for the following reasons: (1) disclosure of these matters will allow investors to better understand the underlying trends in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations; (2) this information will facilitate comparisons by investors of the Company’s results as compared to the results of peer companies; and (3) management considers this financial information in its decision making. A tabulation of the expenses identified as costs of revenue as well as a reconciliation of gross profit to variable contribution and gross profit margin to variable contribution margin for the 2021 and 2020 third quarters and year-to-date periods is included in this slide presentation as Appendix A.
