ITEM 2.02 – RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On July 29, 2022, ArcBest® (Nasdaq: ARCB) (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its unaudited second quarter 2022 results. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. Additional supplemental information and presentation slides to be used in connection with the scheduled conference call to discuss the second quarter results are furnished as Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8­-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios and other information utilized for internal analysis provide analysts, investors, and others the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing the Company’s core operating performance and provide meaningful comparisons between current and prior period results, as well as important information regarding performance trends. The use of certain non-GAAP measures improves comparability in analyzing ArcBest’s performance because it removes the impact of items from operating results that, in management’s opinion, do not reflect ArcBest’s core operating performance.

The press release in Exhibit 99.1, the supplemental information in Exhibit 99.2, and the presentation slides in Exhibit 99.3 include certain non-GAAP information. Certain information discussed in the scheduled conference call could also be considered non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included in Exhibit 99.1 herein, including reconciliations of GAAP earnings and earnings per share to non-GAAP financial measures, reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP effective tax rates, and calculations of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures included in the presentation slides to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are also included within Exhibit 99.3 herein.

Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be relevant and useful information as EBITDA is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors and others to measure financial performance and ability to service debt obligations. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a primary component of the financial covenants contained in ArcBest’s credit agreement. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently; therefore, ArcBest’s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, ArcBest’s reported results. These financial measures should not be construed as better measurements than operating income, operating cash flow, net income or earnings per share, as determined under GAAP.

ArcBest Announces Second Quarter 2022 Results

Record Quarterly Revenue, Operating Income and Net Income Demonstrate ArcBest’s Success Driving Growth and Value Creation

Strategic Growth Initiatives Solidify ArcBest’s Position as a Logistics Leader and Partner of Choice

Second quarter 2022 revenue of $1.4 billion increased 46.8 percent over second quarter 2021.
Net income improved to $102.5 million, or $4.00 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter 2022 net income was $110.0 million, or $4.30 per diluted share.
Innovation investments contributed to revenue growth and improved profitability.

FORT SMITH, Arkansas, July 29, 2022 — ArcBest® (Nasdaq: ARCB), a leader in supply chain logistics, today reported second quarter 2022 revenue of $1.4 billion, an increase of $444.0 million compared to second quarter 2021. Each operating segment achieved at least double-digit percentage revenue growth over the prior year period. Second quarter 2022 results include the impact of the acquisition of MoLo Solutions, LLC (“MoLo”), which was completed in November 2021.

ArcBest’s second quarter 2022 operating income was $137.3 million and net income was $102.5 million, or $4.00 per diluted share, compared to operating income of $74.3 million and net income of $61.0 million, or $2.27 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. The recent quarter’s revenue, operating income and net income totals were the highest of any quarter in ArcBest’s history.  

Excluding certain items in both periods as identified in the attached reconciliation tables, second quarter non-GAAP operating income was $150.5 million, compared to $76.8 million in the prior-year period. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $110.0 million, or $4.30 per diluted share, compared to $54.6 million, or $2.03 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021.

“ArcBest’s talented and dedicated team has been successfully executing our strategy, delivering strong financial results and driving value-enhancing growth for the benefit of our shareholders, customers and other stakeholders. The second quarter of 2022 was no exception, as we achieved 47% revenue growth due to increasing demand for our broad offering of transportation and logistics services,” said Judy R. McReynolds, ArcBest chairman, president and CEO. “As our customers’ supply chains become even more complex and economic pressures increase, our strategic focus on technology, innovation and the development of our people positions us to thrive in all environments. By advancing our strategic plan and investing capital back into the business, we continue to differentiate ArcBest and position our company as a logistics leader, our customers' partner of choice, and a consistent generator of superior value for investors.”

Second Quarter Results of Operations Comparisons

Asset-Based

Second Quarter 2022 Versus Second Quarter 2021

Revenue of $802.6 million compared to $652.8 million, a per-day increase of 22.9 percent.
Total tonnage per day increase of 3.7 percent, including an increase of 0.9 percent in LTL-rated weight per shipment.
Total shipments per day increased 2.0 percent.
Total billed revenue per hundredweight increased 17.7 percent and was positively impacted by higher fuel surcharges. Revenue per hundredweight on LTL-rated business, excluding fuel surcharge, improved by a percentage in the double digits.
Operating income of $116.7 million and an operating ratio of 85.5 percent compared to operating income of $63.9 million and an operating ratio of 90.2 percent. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income of $124.6 million and an operating ratio of 84.5 percent compared to operating income of $71.4 million and an operating ratio of 89.0 percent.

ArcBest’s Asset-Based business delivered strong revenue growth in the second quarter versus the prior year period due in part to a healthy pricing environment, higher fuel surcharges and an increase in ABF Freight’s average weight per shipment. Customer demand drove increases in this year’s freight shipments and tonnage resulting in growth compared to strong, double-digit percent increases in second quarter 2021. Strength in base freight rate pricing continued during the quarter reflecting the value of the logistics solutions ArcBest offers its customers during an ongoing period of supply chain volatility. ArcBest achieved higher second quarter profitability using optimization tools and improved freight data, maintaining more consistent day-to-day business levels while optimizing revenue and managing costs. Hiring initiatives continued at specific service center locations throughout the ABF Freight network and contributed to a net increase in employees.

Asset-Light‡

Second Quarter 2022 Versus Second Quarter 2021 (including the results of MoLo)

Revenue of $631.8 million compared to $330.3 million, a per-day increase of 91.3 percent.
Operating income of $29.1 million compared to $16.3 million. Prior year operating income included a $6.9 million gain on the sale of the labor services portion of the Asset-Light moving business. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income of $31.9 million compared to $10.3 million.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) of $34.6 million compared to $12.1 million, as detailed in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables.

Higher market rates combined with continued customer demand for our services resulted in strong second quarter revenue growth and another quarter of record profitability in the ArcBest Asset-Light segment. Enhanced revenue and shipment totals versus the same period last year reflect the positive impact of additional truckload brokerage business from MoLo, for which the integration is on schedule. The broad range of ArcBest Asset-Light services offered through managed transportation, dedicated, expedite and international continue to be a great benefit to customers.  Each service positively contributed to improved Asset-Light profitability compared to the prior-year period as operating leverage increased due to the revenue growth of the business.

At FleetNet, revenue growth and improved profitability resulted from increases in both total events and revenue per event.

NOTE

‡ - The ArcBest and FleetNet reportable segments, combined, represent Asset-Light operations.

ARCBEST CORPORATION

RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios utilized for internal analysis provide analysts, investors, and others the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance and provides meaningful comparisons between current and prior period results, as well as important information regarding performance trends. The use of certain non-GAAP measures improves comparability in analyzing our performance because it removes the impact of items from operating results that, in management's opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently; therefore, our calculation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Certain information discussed in the scheduled conference call could be considered non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results. These financial measures should not be construed as better measurements than operating income, operating cash flow, net income or earnings per share, as determined under GAAP.

2) Represents the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to the November 1, 2021 acquisition of MoLo and previously acquired businesses in the ArcBest segment.

4) Gain relates to the sale of the labor services portion of the ArcBest segment’s moving business in May 2021, including the contingent amount recognized in second quarter 2022 when the funds were released from escrow.
5) Represents recognition of the tax impact for the vesting of share-based compensation.
6) Non-GAAP EPS is calculated in total and may not foot due to rounding.

RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES – Continued

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of performance and for business planning. The measure is particularly meaningful for analysis of operating performance because it excludes amortization of acquired intangibles and software of the Asset-Light businesses and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, which are significant expenses resulting from strategic decisions rather than core daily operations. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a primary component of the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement. The calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as presented below begins with net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The calculation of Asset-Light Adjusted EBITDA as presented below begins with operating income, as other income (costs), income taxes, and net income are reported at the consolidated level and not included in the operating segment financial information evaluated by management to make operating decisions.

July 2022 Business Update

See tables above for July 2022 revenue, tonnage and shipment metric comparisons.

Statistics for July 2022 have not been finalized. Preliminary Asset-Based financial metrics and business trends for July 2022, compared to the same period last year, are as follows:

Total Billed Revenue/CWT increased approximately 11% including higher fuel surcharge.
Total Billed Revenue/Shipment increased approximately 18%.
Total Weight/Shipment increased approximately 6%.

The July 2022 Asset-Based tonnage and shipment trends, including the increase in weight per shipment, have been impacted by changes in freight profile and business mix as the ABF Freight network continues to be managed with optimization tools and improved freight data. Sequentially, from June to July 2022, the change in total tonnage is running in-line with the historical average sequential change.    

Excluding periods impacted by the pandemic, the average sequential change in ArcBest’s Asset-Based operating ratio, in the third quarter versus the second quarter, has been relatively flat.

Additional Detailed Information

Asset-Based Segment

Annual Union Profit-Sharing Bonus

As provided in ABF Freight’s current Teamster labor contract, for the full years of 2019 through 2022, ABF Freight’s Teamster employees are eligible for an annual profit-sharing bonus, as shown in the following table. The operating ratio (“OR”) used to calculate the bonus amount is on a GAAP basis. The potential bonus would be based on full-year union employee earnings. While impacted by business and associated labor levels which are subject to change, the estimate of one percent of the annual earnings for the ABF Freight union employees who are eligible for this benefit approximates $5.5 million - $6 million of union bonus expense.

During years in which ArcBest’s internal forecasts indicate an expectation of paying the union bonus, we will accrue for this expense throughout the year, generally in proportion of the quarterly results as a percentage of the annual projection. As we do not provide public updates on our projected operating ratio or our expectations for paying the union bonus, any details of amounts accrued will not be provided.  If financial models reflect an operating ratio that meets the payout thresholds shown below, ArcBest encourages analysts to include expenses for the union bonus in quarterly and annual earnings per share projections for the company.

ArcBest Consolidated

Tax Rate

ArcBest’s second quarter 2022 effective GAAP tax rate was 23.0%.  The “Effective Tax Rate Reconciliation” table of ArcBest’s second quarter 2022 earnings press release in Exhibit 99.1 shows the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP effective tax rates.  The tax rate used to calculate non-GAAP EPS was 26.2% for second quarter 2022.  Under the current tax laws, we expect our full year 2022 non-GAAP tax rate to be in a range of 26% to 27%.  The effective GAAP tax rate may be impacted by discrete items that could occur during the remainder of the year.

“Other and eliminations” within Operating Income on the Operating Segment Data and Operating Ratios statement

The “Other and eliminations” line includes expenses related to shared services for the delivery of comprehensive transportation and logistics services to ArcBest’s customers, as well as investments in ArcBest technology and innovation. Shared services represent costs incurred to support all segments including sales, yield, customer service, marketing, capacity sourcing functions, human resources, financial services, information technology, legal and other company-wide services. Shared services are primarily allocated to the reporting segments based upon resource utilization-related metrics, such as shipment levels, and therefore fluctuate with business levels. As a result, the loss in “Other and eliminations” tends to be higher in periods when business levels are lower and, consequently, allocations to operating segments are lower, which is typically during the first and fourth quarters of the year; however, our quarterly shipment levels have not been following historical patterns in recent years. Other factors, including the state of the U.S. and global economies, the impact of adverse events or conditions, available capacity in the market, and the impact of yield initiatives may influence quarterly business levels. Furthermore, the acquisition of MoLo resulted in increased ArcBest Asset-Light segment shipment levels for the first and second quarters of 2022, compared to same periods of 2021.

“Other, net” line within Other Income (Costs) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations

The “Other, net” line of ArcBest’s income statement primarily includes the costs associated with postretirement plans and changes in cash surrender value of life insurance.  After excluding non-GAAP reconciling items detailed in the table below, ArcBest expects the 2022 non-GAAP “Other, net” expense to approximate the 2021 expense.  

Changes in cash surrender value of life insurance included a decrease of $2.7 million in second quarter 2022, compared to an increase of $1.2 million in second quarter 2021. The assets underlying the cash surrender value are invested much like pension plan assets and are impacted by market changes. ArcBest excludes changes in cash surrender value when presenting non-GAAP net income and EPS.

Q & A 14

15 Note: ArcBest Corporation reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) . H owever, management believes that certain non - GAAP performance measures utilized for internal analysis provides analysts, investors, and others the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance and provides meaningful comp ari sons between current and prior period results, as well as important information regarding performance trends. Accordingly, using t hes e measures improves comparability in analyzing our performance because it removes the impact of items from operating results that, in ma nag ement's opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Non - GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results. These financial measures should not be construed as better measurements than operating income, ope rat ing cash flow, net income or earnings per share, as determined under GAAP.

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non - GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited) 17 1) Adjusted EBITDA is a primary component of the financial covenants contained in ArcBest Corporation’s Amended and Restated Cre dit Agreement. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA to be relevant and useful information, as EBITDA is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors, an d o thers to measure financial performance ability to service debt obligations. Furthermore, management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of performance and for business planning. However, th is non - GAAP measure should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently; therefore, our Adjusted EBITDA ma y not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. 2) Includes amortization of intangibles associated with acquired businesses. 3) Gain relates to the sale of the labor services portion of the ArcBest segment’s moving business in May 2021, including the co nti ngent amount recognized in second quarter 2022 when the funds were released from escrow. 4) Adjusted EBITDA is calculated in total and may not foot due to rounding. 5) Represents change in fair value of the contingent consideration recorded for the MoLo acquisition.
