LANDSTAR SYSTEM REPORTS ALL-TIME QUARTERLY RECORD

DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $3.34 IN THE 2022 FIRST QUARTER

Jacksonville, FL - Landstar System, Inc. (NASDAQ: LSTR) reported record quarterly revenue of $1.971 billion in the 2022 first quarter, a 53 percent increase over revenue of $1.288 billion in the 2021 first quarter; quarterly net income of $124.8 million, an increase of 62 percent over net income of $77.2 million in the 2021 first quarter; and quarterly diluted earnings per share (“DEPS”) of $3.34, an increase of 66 percent compared to $2.01 in the 2021 first quarter. To put these 2022 first quarter results into perspective, the Company’s revenue, net income, and DEPS were the highest amounts achieved in any quarter in Landstar history, surpassing the prior record amounts established in the 2021 fourth quarter.

Gross profit in the 2022 first quarter was $214.6 million, an all-time quarterly record, compared to $147.1 million in the 2021 first quarter. Variable contribution (defined as revenue less the cost of purchased transportation and commissions to agents) also reached an all-time quarterly record of $270.5 million in the 2022 first quarter, 43 percent above 2021 first quarter variable contribution of $189.2 million. A reconciliation of gross profit to variable contribution and gross profit margin to variable contribution margin for the 2022 and 2021 first quarters is provided in the Company’s accompanying financial disclosures.

Trailing twelve month return on average shareholders’ equity was 51 percent and return on invested capital, representing net income divided by the sum of average equity plus average debt, was 45 percent. During the 2022 first quarter, Landstar purchased approximately 694,000 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $109.3 million.


 

LANDSTAR SYSTEM/2

 

 

The Company is currently authorized to purchase up to an additional 2,306,450 shares of the Company’s common stock under its previously announced share purchase programs. Landstar announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share payable on May 27, 2022, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 5, 2022. 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 2022 first quarter was $1,751.3 million, or 89 percent of revenue, compared to $1,193.5 million, or 93 percent of revenue, in the 2021 first quarter. Truckload transportation revenue hauled via van equipment in the 2022 first quarter was $1,081.2 million, compared to $729.4 million in the 2021 first quarter, an increase of 48 percent. Truckload transportation revenue hauled via unsided/platform equipment in the 2022 first quarter was $408.8 million, compared to $297.5 million in the 2021 first quarter, an increase of 37 percent. Revenue from other truck transportation in the 2022 first quarter was $227.6 million, compared to $140.9 million in the 2021 first quarter, an increase of 61 percent. Revenue hauled by rail, air and ocean cargo carriers in the 2022 first quarter was $194.7 million, or 10 percent of revenue, compared to $79.3 million, or 6 percent of revenue, in the 2021 first quarter, an increase of 146 percent.

“I am very pleased overall with Landstar’s 2022 first quarter performance, as the Company continued to perform at record levels. The 2022 first quarter once again set a new standard for the best quarterly financial performance in Landstar history. Revenue, gross profit, variable contribution, net income and diluted earnings per share were each all-time quarterly records. The increase in truck revenue per load and the number of loads hauled via truck over the 2021 first quarter represent very strong, balanced growth. Remarkably, for the first time in Landstar history, February truck revenue per load was higher than in the preceding December,” said Landstar President and CEO Jim Gattoni.

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 28, 2022, through the first 8 weeks of the Company’s 2022 first fiscal quarter as compared to the first 8 weeks of the Company’s 2021 first fiscal quarter, revenue per load on loads hauled via truck increased 27 percent and the number of loads hauled via truck


 

LANDSTAR SYSTEM/3

 

 

increased 24 percent. The Company also noted in the February 28 Form 8-K that two of the largest Landstar independent commission sales agencies, as measured by Landstar revenue generated in fiscal year 2021, maintain administrative operations in Ukraine that could be significantly disrupted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Consistent with the estimated amounts set forth in a Current Report on Form 8-K subsequently filed by the Company on April 5, 2022, during the Company’s 2022 first quarter compared to the 2021 first quarter, revenue per load on loads hauled via truck increased 22 percent and the number of loads hauled via truck increased 20 percent. The Company attributes the decrease in the year-over-year growth rate of revenue per load on loads hauled via truck in the 13-week 2022 first quarter compared to that of the first 8 weeks of the 2022 first quarter to a more difficult year-over-year comparison in March. Prior year March experienced an atypical increase in truck revenue per load of 11 percent on a sequential basis from fiscal February 2021 to fiscal March 2021. The decrease in the year-over-year growth rate of loads hauled via truck in the 2022 first quarter compared to that of the first 8 weeks of the 2022 first fiscal quarter was attributable to (1) the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, although as disclosed in the April 5 Form 8-K, first quarter truck load volumes arranged by the two independent commission sales agencies with significant administrative operations based in Ukraine were significantly less impacted than initially anticipated by the Company, and (2) an atypical increase in the number of loads hauled via truck from fiscal February 2021 to fiscal March 2021 that resulted from severe winter weather experienced during the last week of fiscal February 2021.

Gattoni continued, “Over the trailing 12 month period, Landstar’s financial performance has been unparalleled in our history. As a result, our prior year comparisons will become more challenging as we move further into 2022. Moreover, the headwinds relating to inflation and a potential shift in consumer spending, as well as potential impacts relating to the war in Ukraine, make it difficult to predict the future direction of the U.S. freight transportation environment. Nevertheless, throughout March and through the first few weeks of the 2022 second quarter, customer demand for our freight transportation services remained strong.”


 

LANDSTAR SYSTEM/4

 

 

In March 2022, revenue per load for loads hauled via truck was approximately equal to that of February 2022 even though the cost of a gallon of diesel fuel increased approximately $1, or 27%, from February to March. This suggests a decrease in revenue per load (excluding fuel) in March compared to February on loads hauled via truck brokerage carriers, as the cost of fuel is often reflected in all-in rates billed by Landstar to customers on loads hauled by truck brokerage carriers and included in the Company’s revenue. Notably though, revenue per load on loads hauled by BCOs only experienced a slight decrease in March compared to February. In this regard it is important to note that revenue per load on loads hauled by BCOs is typically less sensitive to changes in the cost of diesel fuel as fuel surcharges billed to customers on freight hauled by BCOs are paid 100% by Landstar to the hauling BCO and not included in the Company’s revenue.

Gattoni further stated, “Currently, overall truck revenue per load is trending at levels similar to March. Although it is difficult to predict what may occur with respect to prices for diesel fuel going forward, we expect a relatively stable revenue per load environment to continue throughout the 2022 second quarter. As such, I expect revenue per load on loads hauled via truck in the 2022 second quarter to be in a mid-teen percentage range above the 2021 second quarter. As I previously noted, we enter the second quarter with continued strong demand for our services but also with more difficult year-over-prior-year period comparisons ahead of us. Assuming these conditions continue through the 2022 second quarter, I expect the number of loads hauled via truck to increase over the 2021 second quarter in a range of 11 percent to 13 percent. As such, I anticipate revenue for the 2022 second quarter to be in a range of $2.0 billion to $2.05 billion.”

Gattoni concluded, “Based on the range of revenue estimated for the 2022 second quarter, I would anticipate DEPS to be in a range of $3.22 to $3.32. This range of DEPS includes insurance and claims expense estimated at 4.2 percent of BCO revenue.”

Slide 3

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. 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 2022 and 2021 first quarters is included in this slide presentation as Appendix A.
