The risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: accelerating inflation, both in the U.S. and globally; our ability to successfully manage the demand, supply, and operational challenges and disruptions (including the impact of reduced freight volumes) associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated responses of federal, state, and
local governments and businesses; economic and business risks inherent in the truckload and transportation industry, including inflation and competitive pressures pertaining to pricing, capacity, and service; our ability to effectively manage tight truck capacity brought about by driver shortages and successfully execute our yield management strategies; our ability to maintain key customer and supply arrangements (including dedicated arrangements) and to manage disruption of our business due to factors outside of our control, such as natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, disease outbreaks, or pandemics; volatility in the market valuation of our investments in strategic partners and technologies; our ability to manage and effectively implement our growth and diversification strategies and cost saving initiatives; our dependence on our reputation and the Schneider brand and the potential for adverse publicity, damage to our reputation, and the loss of brand equity;
risks related to demand for our service offerings; risks associated with the loss of a significant customer or customers; capital investments that fail to match customer demand or for which we cannot obtain adequate funding; fluctuations in the price or availability of fuel, the volume and terms of diesel fuel purchase agreements, our ability to recover fuel costs through our fuel surcharge programs, and potential changes in customer preferences (e.g. truckload vs. intermodal services) driven by diesel fuel prices; our ability to attract and retain qualified drivers and owner-operators; our reliance on owner-operators to provide a portion of our truck fleet; our dependence on railroads in the operation of our intermodal business; our ability to successfully transition from BNSF to UP as our primary intermodal rail service provider by January 2023; potential port congestion or interruptions that may result from contract
negotiations between the ILWU and west coast port owners; potential volatility in the value of our investments in strategic partners, especially as it relates to our investment in TuSimple; service instability, availability, and/or increased costs from third-party capacity providers used by our business; changes in the outsourcing practices of our third-party logistics customers; difficulty in obtaining material, equipment, goods, and services from our vendors and suppliers; variability in insurance and claims expenses and the risks of insuring claims through our captive insurance company; the impact of laws and regulations that apply to our business, including those that relate to the environment, taxes, associates, owner-operators, and our captive insurance company; changes to those laws and regulations; and the increased costs of compliance with existing or future federal, state, and local regulations; political, economic, and other risks from cross-border operations
and operations in multiple countries; risks associated with financial, credit, and equity markets, including our ability to service indebtedness and fund capital expenditures and strategic initiatives; negative seasonal patterns generally experienced in the trucking industry during traditionally slower shipping periods and winter months; risks associated with severe weather and similar events; significant systems disruptions, including those caused by cybersecurity events and firmware defects; exposure to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business; our ability to adapt to new technologies and new participants in the truckload and transportation industry; and those risks and uncertainties discussed in (1) our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K in (a) Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” (b) Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and (c) Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. iGENERAL
iNature
of Operations
Schneider National, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together “Schneider,” the “Company,”“we,”“us,” or “our”) are among the largest providers of surface transportation and logistics solutions in North America. We offer a multimodal portfolio of services and possess an array of capabilities and resources that leverage artificial intelligence, data science, and analytics to provide innovative solutions that coordinate the movement of customer products timely, safely, and effectively. The Company offers truckload, intermodal, and logistics services to a diverse customer base throughout the continental United States, Canada, and Mexico, thus adding value to their supply chains.
i
Principles
of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements and footnotes do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Financial results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting
only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods presented.
i
Property and Equipment
Gains and losses on property and equipment are recognized at the time of sale or disposition and are classified in operating supplies and expenses—net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
we recognized $i2.9 million and $i14.1 million of net gains on the sale of property and equipment,
respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $i63.8 million and $i16.0
million of net gains on the sale of property and equipment, respectively. Net gains during the six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily related to the sale of the Company’s Canadian facility.

iAccounting Standards
Recently Adopted
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This standard requires business entities to disclose information about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution model by analogy (for example, International Financial Reporting Standards guidance in International Accounting Standards 20 or guidance on contributions for not-for-profit entities in ASC 958-605), including information about the nature and significant terms and conditions of the transaction, as well as the amounts and specific financial statement line items affected by the transaction. ASU 2021-10 is effective for us beginning with our December 31, 2022 financial statements. The adoption
of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
2. iACQUISITIONS
deBoer Transportation, Inc.
We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated iJune
7, 2022, to acquire i100% of the outstanding equity of deBoer, a regional, dedicated carrier headquartered in Blenker, WI. The acquisition provided Schneider the opportunity to expand our tractor and trailer fleet primarily within our dedicated and Power Only operations, as well as our company driver capacity. The Company is in the process of transitioning equipment and
employees from deBoer to Schneider, and upon completion, deBoer operations will cease.
The aggregate purchase price of the acquisition was approximately $i34.6 million inclusive of certain cash and net working capital adjustments, and the assets acquired consisted primarily of rolling stock. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized on the consolidated
balance sheets at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of consideration transferred and net assets acquired were determined using Level 3 inputs, and the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets resulted in $i7.7 million of goodwill being recorded within the Truckload reportable segment. Certain amounts recorded in connection with the acquisition are still considered preliminary as we continue to gather the necessary information to finalize our fair
value estimates and provisional amounts.
Acquisition-related costs, which consisted of fees incurred for advisory, legal, and accounting services, were $ii0.2/
million and were included in other general expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Operating results for deBoer are included in our consolidated results of operations from the acquisition date. Pro forma information for this acquisition is not provided as it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated operating results.
Midwest Logistics Systems, Ltd.
We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated iDecember 31,
2021, to acquire i100% of the outstanding equity of MLS, a dedicated trucking company based in Celina, OH, and certain affiliated entities holding assets comprising substantially all of MLS’s business. MLS is a premier dedicated carrier in the central U.S. that we believe complements our growing dedicated operations.
The aggregate purchase price of the acquisition was approximately $i268.8
million inclusive of $i5.7 million in net working capital and other post-acquisition adjustments received in the second quarter of 2022 and a deferred payment of $i3.2
million made in January 2022. Proceeds from the total purchase consideration were used to settle $i26.9 million of MLS’s outstanding debt as of the acquisition date.
The acquisition of MLS was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair values as of the acquisition date. These inputs represent Level 3 measurements in the fair value
hierarchy and required significant judgments and estimates at the time of valuation. Fair value estimates of acquired property and equipment were based on an independent appraisal, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the assets. Key assumptions used in the transportation equipment appraisals were based on the market approach, while key assumptions used in the land, buildings and improvements, and other property and equipment appraisals were based on a combination of the income (direct capitalization) and sales comparison approaches, as appropriate.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill within the Truckload reportable segment. The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies and growth opportunities within our dedicated business and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition-related
costs, which consisted of fees incurred for advisory, legal, and accounting services, were $i1.9 million and were included in other general expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The above adjustments made during the measurement period were primarily related to working capital, property and equipment, leases, and intangible assets. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships and trademarks, were based on valuations using income-based approaches. No material statement of comprehensive income effects were identified with these adjustments. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may continue to adjust provisional amounts that were recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
Combined unaudited pro forma operating revenues of the
Company and MLS would have been approximately $i1,414.0 million, and $i2,694.0 million, during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and our earnings for the same periods would not have been materially different.
3. iiiLEASES//
As
Lessee
We lease real estate and equipment under operating and finance leases. Our real estate operating leases include operating centers, distribution warehouses, offices, and drop yards. Our non-real estate operating leases and finance leases include transportation, office, yard, and warehouse equipment, in addition to truck washes. The majority of our leases include an option to extend the lease, and a small number include an option to terminate the lease early, which may include a termination payment.
Additional

As
of June 30, 2022, we had signed leases that had not yet commenced totaling $i9.0 million. These leases will commence during the remainder of 2022 or the beginning of 2023 and have lease terms of two to isix
years.
As Lessor
We finance various types of transportation-related equipment for independent third parties under lease contracts, which are generally for one to ithree years and are accounted for as sales-type leases with fully guaranteed residual values. Our leases contain an option for the lessee to return, extend, or purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for
the guaranteed contract residual amount. This contract residual amount is estimated to approximate the fair value of the equipment. Lease payments primarily include base rentals and guaranteed residual values.
Prior
to entering a lease contract, we assess the credit quality of the potential lessee using credit checks and other relevant factors, ensuring that the inherent credit risk is consistent with our existing lease portfolio. Given our leases have fully guaranteed residual values and we can take possession of the transportation-related equipment in the event of default, we do not categorize net investment in leases by different credit quality indicators upon origination. We monitor our lease portfolio weekly by tracking amounts past due, days past due, and outstanding maintenance account balances, including performing subsequent credit checks as needed. Our net investment in leases with any portion past due as of June 30, 2022 was $i41.5
million, which includes both current and future lease payments.
Lease payments are generally due on a weekly basis and are classified as past due when the weekly payment is not received by its due date. As of June 30, 2022, our lease payments past due were $i3.6 million.
The table below provides additional information on our sales-type leases. Revenue and cost of goods sold are recorded in operating revenues and operating supplies and expenses—net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, respectively.

The majority of our revenues are related to transportation and have similar characteristics. MLS and deBoer revenues since the acquisition dates are included within Transportation revenues, consistent with the remainder of our Truckload segment. iThe
following table summarizes our revenues by type of service.
The following table provides information related to transactions and expected timing of revenue recognition for performance obligations that are fixed in nature and relate to contracts with terms greater than one year as of the date shown.
This
disclosure does not include revenue related to performance obligations that are part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less, nor does it include expected consideration related to performance obligations for which the Company elects to recognize revenue in the amount it has a right to invoice (e.g., usage-based pricing terms).
i
The following
table provides information related to contract balances associated with our contracts with customers as of the dates shown.
We generally receive payment within i40 days of completion of performance obligations. Contract assets in the table above relate to revenue in transit at the end of the reporting period. Contract liabilities relate to amounts that customers paid in advance of the associated services.
Non-monetary Consideration
Occasionally
we provide freight movements to customers in exchange for non-monetary services. The fair value of non-monetary consideration on these freight movements is included in operating revenues on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consists primarily of transportation equipment. The amount of operating revenues recorded for these services was $i6.8
million and $i13.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. There was iino/
revenue recorded in the three or six months ended June 30, 2021 for freight movements in exchange for non-monetary consideration.
5. iFAIR VALUE
Fair value is the estimated price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value fall into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2, and 3) as follows:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).
Assets and liabilities are
classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
i
The table below sets forth the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring, monthly basis in accordance with ASC 820.
(1)Our
equity investment in TuSimple is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as shares of TuSimple’s Class A common stock are traded on the NASDAQ. See Note 6, Investments, for additional information.
(2)Marketable securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as they are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active. See Note 6, Investments, for additional information.
/
The fair value of the
Company’s debt was $i203.5 million and $i276.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s debt was $i205.0 million and $i265.0 million as of June 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of our debt was calculated using a fixed rate debt portfolio with similar terms and maturities, which is based on the borrowing rates available to us in the applicable period. This valuation used Level 2 inputs.
The recorded values of cash, trade accounts receivable, lease receivables, and trade accounts payable approximate fair values.
As part of the MLS and deBoer acquisitions, certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions, for further details.
Our marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value in current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. While our intent is to hold our securities to maturity, sudden changes in the market or our liquidity needs may cause us to sell certain securities in advance of their maturity date.
Any unrealized
gains and losses, net of tax, are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets, unless we determine that the amortized cost basis is not recoverable. If we determine that the amortized cost basis of the impaired security is not recoverable, we recognize the credit loss by increasing the allowance for those losses. We did iino/t
have an allowance for credit losses on our marketable securities as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Cost basis is determined using the specific identification method.
i
The following table presents the maturities and values of our marketable securities as of the dates shown.
Equity
Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values
The Company’s strategic equity investments without readily determinable fair values include PSI, a provider of telematics and fleet management tools, MLSI, a transportation technology development company, and ChemDirect, a business to business digital marketplace for the chemical industry. These investments are being accounted for under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, using the measurement alternative, and their combined values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $i40.2
million and $i36.2 million, respectively. If the Company identifies observable price changes for identical or similar securities of the same issuer, the equity security is measured at fair value as of the date the observable transaction occurred using Level 3 inputs.
i
As
of June 30, 2022, our cumulative upward adjustments were $i26.2 million. The following table summarizes the activity related to these equity investments during the periods presented.

Equity
Investments with Readily Determinable Fair Values
In 2021, the Company purchased a $i5.0 million non-controlling interest in TuSimple, a global self-driving technology company. Upon completion of its IPO in April 2021, our investment in TuSimple was converted into Class A common shares and is now being accounted for under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. In the three and six
months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized pre-tax losses of $i1.8 million and $i10.1
million on its investment in TuSimple, respectively. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $ii20.2/
million. See Note 5, Fair Value, for additional information on the fair value of our investment in TuSimple.
All of our equity investments are included in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets with subsequent gains or losses recognized within other expenses (income)—net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Subsequent Event
On July 1, 2022, the Company invested an additional $i20.0
million in MLSI in exchange for preferred stock.
Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. iThe following table shows changes to our goodwill balances by segment during the period ended June 30, 2022.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded goodwill in conjunction with the acquisition of deBoer, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we made measurement period adjustments related to the acquisition of MLS, both of which were recorded within the Truckload segment. Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions, for further details.
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $ii53.2/
million, which consisted of $ii34.6/
million and $ii18.6/
million in our Truckload segment and Other, respectively.
i
The identifiable finite lived intangible assets other than goodwill listed below are included in internal use software and other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets and relate to the acquisition of MLS. Our customer relationships and trademarks are amortized over a weighted-average amortization period of iiten
years/. Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions, for further details.
Unsecured senior notes: principal maturities ranging from i2023 through i2025;
interest payable in isemiannual installments through the same timeframe; weighted average interest rate of i3.91% and i3.61%
for 2022 and 2021, respectively
Our Credit Agreement (the “2018 Credit Facility”) provides borrowing capacity of $i250.0 million and allows us to request an increase in total commitment up to $i150.0
million, for a total potential commitment of $i400.0 million through August 2023. The agreement also provides a sublimit of $i100.0
million to be used for the issuance of letters of credit. We had iino/ outstanding borrowings under this agreement as of June 30,
2022 or December 31, 2021. Standby letters of credit under this agreement amounted to $ii3.9/
million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and were primarily related to the requirements of certain of our real estate leases.
We also have a Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “2021 Receivables Purchase Agreement”), which allows us to borrow funds against qualifying trade receivables at rates based on one-month LIBOR up to $i150.0 million
and provides for the issuance of standby letters of credit through July 2024. We had iino/ outstanding borrowings under this facility at June 30,
2022 or December 31, 2021. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, standby letters of credit under this agreement amounted to $i73.3 million and $i70.3
million, respectively, and were primarily related to the requirements of certain of our insurance obligations.
9. iINCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rate was i24.8%
and i25.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and i25.1%
and i25.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items. This rate is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and best estimates of nontaxable and nondeductible income and expense items.

Subsequent Event - Dividends Declared
In July of 2022, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend for the third fiscal quarter of 2022 in the amount of $ii0.08/
per share to holders of our Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend is payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2022 and will be paid on October 10, 2022.
We grant various equity-based awards relating to Class B common stock to employees under our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“the Plan”). These awards have historically consisted of restricted shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted shares (“performance shares”), performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), and non-qualified stock options. Performance shares and PSUs granted prior to 2021 are earned based on attainment of threshold performance of earnings and return on capital targets. Beginning with grants in 2021, in addition to achievement of earnings and return on capital targets, a multiplier is applied to performance share and PSU achievement based on relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”) against peers over the performance period.
Share-based compensation
expense was $i3.0 million and $i2.9 million for the three months ended June
30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $i8.1 million and $i7.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recognize share-based compensation expense over the awards’ vesting period. As of June 30, 2022, we had $i29.6 million of pre-tax unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding share-based compensation awards
expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of i2.3 years.
12. iCOMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in certain legal matters and investigations including liability claims, taxes other than income taxes, contract disputes, employment, and other litigation matters. We accrue for anticipated costs to resolve matters that are probable and estimable. We believe the outcomes of these matters will not have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.
We record liabilities for claims against the Company based on our best estimate of expected losses. The primary claims arising for the Company
through its trucking, intermodal, and logistics operations consist of accident-related claims for personal injury, collision, and comprehensive compensation, in addition to workers’ compensation, property damage, cargo, and wage and benefit claims. We maintain excess liability insurance with licensed insurance carriers for liability in excess of amounts we self-insure, which serves to largely offset the Company’s liability associated with these claims, with the exception of wage and benefit claims for which we self-insure. We review our accruals periodically to ensure that the aggregate amounts of our accruals are appropriate at any period after consideration of available insurance coverage. Although we expect that our claims accruals will continue to vary based on future developments, assuming that we are able to continue to obtain and maintain excess liability insurance coverage
for such claims, we do not anticipate that such accruals will, in any period, materially impact our operating results.
At June 30, 2022, our firm commitments to purchase transportation equipment totaled $i417.2 million.
In March of 2022, the Company recorded a $i5.2
million charge as a result of an adverse audit assessment by a state jurisdiction over the applicability of sales tax for prior periods on rolling stock equipment used within that state. The charge is included within operating supplies and expenses—net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company filed a request for appeal of the audit assessment with the state jurisdiction.
As previously disclosed, a representative of the former owners of WSL filed a lawsuit alleging that we did not fulfill certain obligations under the purchase and sale agreement and claiming that the former owners of WSL were entitled to damages including an additional payment of $i40.0
million under an earn-out arrangement. On April 25, 2022, the Delaware Superior Court entered judgment in favor of the former owners of WSL, awarding $i40.0 million in compensatory damages, plus prejudgment interest and the former owners’ attorneys’ fees, and the Company recorded an estimated total charge of $ii59.0/
million in its results of operations as of March 31, 2022. The Company has since settled with the former owners of WSL for a total of $ii57.0/
million, which is included within other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022. Other general expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 include a benefit of $i2.0 million and expense of $ii57.0/
million, respectively.
13. iSEGMENT REPORTING
We have ithree
reportable segments – Truckload, Intermodal, and Logistics – which are based primarily on the services each segment provides.
As of December 31, 2021, our operating segments within the Truckload reportable segment were VTL and Bulk. The operating results of MLS, a standalone operating segment, have been aggregated into the Truckload reportable segment as it shares similar economic characteristics with our other Truckload operating segments and meets the other aggregation criteria described
in ASC 280. As of June 7,
2022, the operating results of deBoer are also included within the Truckload reportable segment. VTL delivers truckload quantities over irregular routes and customer freight with dedicated contracts using dry van and specialty trailers. Bulk transports key inputs to manufacturing processes, such as specialty chemicals, using specialty trailers. MLS provides dedicated truckload services focusing primarily on freight with consistent routes.
The CODM reviews revenues for each segment without the inclusion of fuel surcharge revenues. For segment purposes, any fuel surcharge revenues earned are recorded as a reduction of the segment’s fuel expenses. Income from operations at the segment level reflects the measure presented to the CODM for each segment.
Separate
balance sheets are not prepared by segment, and as a result, assets are not separately identifiable by segment. All transactions between reportable segments are eliminated in consolidation.
Substantially all of our revenues and assets were generated or located within the U.S.
i
The following tables summarize our segment information. Inter-segment revenues were immaterial for all segments, with the exception of Other, which included revenues from insurance premiums charged
to other segments for workers’ compensation, auto, and other types of insurance. Inter-segment revenues included in Other revenues below were $i14.9 million and $i12.1 million for the three months ended June
30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $i34.4 million and $i30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021
respectively.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
INTRODUCTION
Company Overview
We are a transportation and logistics services company providing a broad portfolio of truckload, intermodal, and logistics solutions and operating one of the
largest for-hire trucking fleets in North America. Our diversified portfolio of complementary service offerings enables us to serve the varied needs of our customers and provides us with a greater opportunity to allocate capital in a manner designed to maximize returns across all market cycles and economic conditions. We continually monitor our performance and market conditions to ensure appropriate allocation of capital and resources to grow our businesses while optimizing returns across reportable segments. Our strong balance sheet, scalable platform, and experienced operations team are supportive of our acquisition strategy which includes acquiring high-quality businesses that meet our disciplined selection criteria to enhance our service offerings and broaden our customer base.
Our truckload services consist of freight transported and delivered by our
company-employed drivers in company trucks and by owner-operators. These services are executed through either network or dedicated contracts and include standard long-haul and regional shipping services primarily using dry van, bulk, temperature-controlled, and flat-bed equipment, as well as cross dock and customized solutions for high-value and time-sensitive loads with coverage throughout North America.
Our intermodal services consists of door-to-door container on flat car (“COFC”) service through a combination of rail and dray transportation, in association with our rail carrier providers. Our intermodal business uses company-owned containers, chassis, and trucks with primarily company dray drivers, augmented by third-party dray capacity.
Our
logistics services consist of freight brokerage (including Power Only which leverages our nationwide trailer pools to match capacity with customer demand), supply chain (including 3PL), warehousing, and import/export services. Our logistics business provides value-added services using both our assets and third-party capacity, augmented by our trailing assets, to manage and move our customers’ freight.
Our success depends on our ability to balance our transportation network and efficiently and effectively manage our resources in the delivery of truckload, intermodal, and logistics services to our customers. Resource requirements vary with customer demand, which may be subject to seasonal or general economic conditions. We believe that our ability to properly select freight and adapt to changes in customer transportation needs allows us to efficiently deploy resources and make capital investments in trucks,
trailers, containers, and chassis or obtain qualified third-party capacity at reasonable prices.
Consistent with the transportation industry, our business is seasonal across each of our segments, which generally translates to our reported revenues being the lowest in the first quarter and highest in the fourth quarter. Operating expenses tend to be higher in the winter months, primarily due to colder weather, which causes higher maintenance expense and higher fuel consumption from increased idle time.
Recent Developments
Acquisitions
On iDecember 31,
2021, the Company completed the acquisition of MLS, a privately held truckload carrier based in Celina, OH. MLS is a dedicated carrier that primarily serves the central U.S. and complements our growing dedicated operations. In 2022, MLS financial results are reported in dedicated operations as part of our Truckload segment.
On June 7, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of deBoer, which provided us the opportunity to expand our company driver capacity, as well as our tractor and trailer fleet primarily within dedicated and Power Only operations. The
Company is in the process of transitioning equipment and employees from deBoer to Schneider. Upon completion, deBoer operations will cease.
Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions, for additional details on our recent acquisitions.
On April 25, 2022, in connection with the litigation with the former owners of WSL, the Delaware Superior Court entered judgment in favor of the former owners, awarding $i40.0
million in compensatory damages plus interest and attorneys’ fees, and the Company included an estimated total charge of $ii59.0/
million in its results of operations as of March 31, 2022. In May of 2022, the parties re-evaluated their positions including the risks and benefits of a potential appeal of the Delaware Superior Court's judgment, and a final settlement was reached in the amount of $ii57.0/
million. This final settlement has been recognized in our results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2022, and payment was made in July of 2022. Refer to Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional details.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this section of our report, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), (2) adjusted income from operations, (3) adjusted operating ratio, and (4) adjusted net income. We also provide reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated
and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes the use of each of these non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding our business by (1) removing the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance, (2) providing investors with the same information our management uses internally to assess our core operating performance, and (3) presenting comparable financial results between periods. In addition, in the case of revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), we believe the measure is useful to investors because it isolates volume, price, and cost changes directly related to industry demand and the way we operate our business from the external factor of fluctuating fuel prices and the programs we have in place to manage such fluctuations. Fuel-related costs and their impact on our industry are important to our results of operations, but
they are often independent of other, more relevant factors affecting our results of operations and our industry.
Although we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, they have limitations as analytical tools and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. You should not consider the non-GAAP measures in this report in isolation or as substitutes for, or alternatives to, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of unusual or infrequent items or other adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will not be affected by unusual or infrequent items or by other items similar to such adjustments. Our management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results in addition to using the non-GAAP measures.
Enterprise
Summary
The following table includes key GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated enterprise. Adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP measures are made at the enterprise level, with the exception of fuel surcharge revenues, which are not included in segment revenues.
(1)We define “revenues (excluding fuel surcharge)” as operating revenues less fuel surcharge revenues, which are excluded from revenues at the segment level. Included below is a reconciliation of operating revenues, the most closely comparable
GAAP financial measure, to revenues (excluding fuel surcharge).
(2)We define “adjusted income from operations” as income from operations, adjusted to exclude material items that do not reflect our core operating performance. Included below is a reconciliation of income from operations, which is the most
directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted income from operations. Excluded items for the periods shown are explained in the table and notes below.
(3)We define “adjusted
operating ratio” as operating expenses, adjusted to exclude material items that do not reflect our core operating performance, divided by revenues (excluding fuel surcharge). Included below is a reconciliation of operating ratio, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted operating ratio. Excluded items for the periods shown are explained below under our explanation of “adjusted income from operations.”
(4)We define “adjusted net income” as net income, adjusted to exclude material items that do not reflect our core operating performance. Included below is a reconciliation of net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted net income. Excluded items for the periods shown are explained below under our explanation of “adjusted income from operations.”
(1)Includes
$5.2 million in charges related to an adverse audit assessment for prior period state sales tax on rolling stock equipment used within that state for the six months ended June 30, 2022. There were no similar charges for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
(2)Includes a benefit of $2.0 million and a charge of $57.0 million for an adverse settlement related to a lawsuit with former owners of WSL, inclusive of prejudgment interest and the former owners’ attorneys’ fees, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Refer to Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional details.
(3)Advisory, legal, and accounting
costs related to the acquisition of deBoer. Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions, for additional details.
(4)Net gain on the sale of our Canadian facility due to a change in approach to servicing Canada.
(1)Our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP items is determined annually using the applicable consolidated federal and state effective tax rate, modified to remove the impact of tax credits and adjustments that are not applicable to the specific items. Due to differences in the tax treatment of items excluded
from non-GAAP income, as well as the methodology applied to our estimated annual tax rates as described above, our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP items may differ from our GAAP tax rate and from our actual tax liabilities.
Enterprise net income increased $23.3 million, approximately 22%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021, primarily due to a $50.8 million increase in income from operations, partially offset by the corresponding increase in income taxes. In addition, the three months ended June 30, 2022
included a pre-tax equity investment loss of $1.8 million compared to a $20.2 million pre-tax gain during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Adjusted net income increased $21.9 million, approximately 21%.
Enterprise operating revenues
increased $386.1 million, approximately 28%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021.
Factors contributing to the increase were as follows:
•a $138.8 million increase in fuel surcharge revenues resulting from increased fuel prices in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021, as well as fuel surcharge revenues from the acquisition of MLS;
•a $96.4 million increase in Truckload segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) resulting from improved revenue per truck per week, the addition of revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) from the acquisition of MLS, and incremental dedicated volumes, partially offset by lower network volumes due to driver capacity constraints and reduced network productivity;
•a
$90.6 million increase in Logistics segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) driven by increased revenue per order, volume growth within our brokerage business (including our Power Only offering), and incremental port dray revenues largely resulting from continued port congestion and supply chain constraints; and
•a $61.1 million increase in Intermodal segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) due to improvement in revenue per order and an increase in orders despite continued network fluidity challenges.
Enterprise revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $247.3 million, approximately 20%.
Enterprise Income from Operations and Operating Ratio
Enterprise income from operations increased $50.8 million, approximately
40%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021, primarily due to an increase in revenue per truck per week in Truckload, revenue per order in Intermodal, and net revenue per order in Logistics driven by strong freight market conditions and effective network and revenue management. Our dedicated Truckload volumes grew due to the acquisition of MLS and new business start-ups, while our brokerage business experienced a 12% increase in order volume driven by leveraging our Schneider FreightPower® digital platform and the continued expansion of our Power Only offering. The above factors were partially offset by an increase in driver-related costs resulting from costs incurred to attract and retain drivers and an increase in company drivers, higher rail purchased transportation costs within Intermodal, and fewer equipment sales resulting in lower gains.
Adjusted income from operations increased
$49.0 million, approximately 39%.
Enterprise operating ratio improved on both a GAAP and adjusted basis when compared to the second quarter of 2021. Among other factors, our operating ratio can be negatively impacted by changes in portfolio mix when our higher operating ratio, less asset-focused Logistics segment grows faster than our lower operating ratio, capital-intensive Truckload segment.
Enterprise Operating Expenses
Key operating expense fluctuations are described below.
•Purchased transportation increased $129.3 million, or 20%, quarter over quarter, primarily resulting from higher rail purchased transportation and third party carrier costs driven by increases in Intermodal rail cost per mile and Logistics
volume growth, respectively.
•Salaries, wages, and benefits increased $65.3 million, or 24%, quarter over quarter, largely due to higher driver pay within Truckload and Intermodal resulting from pay increases and actions to address driver capacity constraints and an increase in company drivers. The acquisition of MLS and an increase in headcount across the organization contributed to the remaining increase quarter over quarter.
•Fuel and fuel taxes for company trucks increased $77.3 million, or 110%, quarter over quarter, driven primarily by an increase in cost per gallon, as well as additional fuel expense recorded related to the acquisition of MLS. A significant portion of fuel costs are recovered through our fuel surcharge programs.
•Depreciation and amortization
increased $13.1 million, or 18%, quarter over quarter, mainly due to the acquisition of MLS, which accounted for approximately half of the increase. The remaining increase was driven by additional depreciation expense incurred as a result of truck and container growth within Truckload and Intermodal, respectively.
•Operating supplies and expenses—net increased $35.6 million, or 30%, quarter over quarter, largely due to a decrease in gains on sales of property and equipment due to fewer equipment gains, an increase in equipment rental expense due to port congestion and higher customer dwell time,
higher maintenance costs due to inflationary cost pressures, and additional rail storage expenses caused by network fluidity challenges and increased container count. These factors were partially offset by lower cost of goods sold in our leasing business due to a reduction in lease activity.
•Insurance and related expenses increased $8.1 million, or 48%, quarter over quarter, primarily due to unfavorability in auto liability relating to favorable claims frequency and severity in the prior year. The remaining increase can be attributed to increased claims frequency in the current year and insurance premium costs for MLS.
•Other general expenses increased $6.6 million, or 20%, quarter over quarter, primarily due to higher driver onboarding costs resulting from increased costs to attract and retain drivers due to constrained industry-wide
capacity levels and the hiring of additional company drivers in 2022.
Total Other Expenses (Income)
Total other expenses increased $21.0 million, approximately 124%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021. This change was driven by a $1.8 million pre-tax loss on our equity investments in the second quarter of 2022 compared to a $20.2 million pre-tax gain in the second quarter of 2021. See Note 6, Investments, for more information on our equity investments.
Income Tax Expense
Our provision for income taxes increased $6.5 million, approximately 18%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021, primarily due to higher taxable
income. The effective income tax rate was 24.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 25.4% for the same quarter last year. Our provision for income taxes may fluctuate in future periods to the extent there are changes to tax laws and regulations.
Revenues and Income from Operations by Segment
The following tables summarize revenues and income from operations by segment.
We monitor and analyze a number of KPIs in order to manage our business and evaluate our financial and operating performance.
Truckload
The following table presents our Truckload segment KPIs for the periods indicated, consistent with how revenues and expenses are reported internally for segment purposes. Descriptions of the two operations that make up our Truckload segment are as follows:
•Dedicated - Transportation services with equipment devoted to customers under long-term contracts.
•Network - Transportation services
of one-way shipments.
Beginning in 2022, MLS impacts are included within dedicated operations below.
(1)Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), in millions, exclude revenue in transit.
(2)Includes company and owner-operator trucks.
(3)Calculated
based on beginning and end of month counts and represents the average number of trucks available to haul freight over the specified timeframe.
(4)Calculated excluding fuel surcharge and revenue in transit, consistent with how revenue is reported internally for segment purposes, using weighted workdays.
(5)Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), in millions, include revenue in transit at the operating segment level and, therefore does not sum with amounts presented above.
(6)Includes entire fleet of owned trailers, including trailers with leasing arrangements between Truckload and Logistics.
(7)Calculated as segment operating expenses divided by segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) including revenue
in transit and related expenses at the operating segment level.
(8)Excludes the impact of our acquisition of deBoer on June 7, 2022.
Truckload revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $96.4 million, approximately 20%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021. The increase was primarily the result of a 22% increase in rate per loaded mile, achieved in support of inflationary operating costs and ongoing challenges with longer dwell times at customer locations, and a 7% increase in volume. Dedicated volumes grew due to the acquisition of MLS and new business start-ups, while network volumes decreased mainly due to continued driver capacity constraints. Dedicated average trucks grew approximately 1,800 units quarter over quarter, to approximately 6,000, further supporting
increased volumes. Network average trucks declined nearly 700 units, to approximately 4,500.
Truckload income from operations increased $7.1 million, approximately 10%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021. Factors contributing to the increase in income from operations include favorable pricing conditions and network management, as well as increased volume within dedicated bolstered by the acquisition of MLS. These items were partially offset by reduced network volumes, an increase in driver-related costs resulting largely from pay increases and other actions taken to attract and retain drivers in a challenging driver market, and fewer equipment sales resulting in lower gains.
(2)Includes company and owner-operator trucks at the end of the period.
(3)Calculated using rail revenues excluding fuel surcharge and revenue in transit, consistent with how revenue is reported internally for segment purposes.
(4)Calculated as segment operating expenses divided by segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) including revenue in
transit and related expenses at the operating segment level.
Intermodal revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $61.1 million, approximately 22%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021, primarily due to a $389, or 16%, improvement in revenue per order and a 5% increase in orders. Intermodal also grew its container count by 6,202, or 28%, quarter over quarter, which helped drive the increase in order count despite continued fluidity challenges resulting from supply chain constraints. Strong market conditions favorably impacted revenue per order and allowed for improvements in price, which were partially offset by shorter length of haul.
Intermodal income from operations increased $7.4 million, approximately 21%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021. This increase was mainly due to
the factors impacting revenue discussed above, partially offset by higher rail-related costs, as well as incremental driver-related costs resulting largely from actions taken to attract and retain drivers.
Logistics
The following table presents the KPI for our Logistics segment for the periods indicated.
(1)Calculated as segment operating expenses divided by segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) including revenue in transit and related expenses at the operating segment level.
Logistics revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $90.6 million, approximately 21%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021. This was primarily due to an increase
in revenue per order and a 12% increase in volume within our brokerage business due to both further leveraging our Schneider FreightPower® digital platform and continued expansion of our Power Only offering, in addition to incremental port dray revenues.
Logistics income from operations increased $30.3 million, approximately 178%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021. Expanded net revenue per order within our brokerage business, in addition to volume growth cited above within both brokerage and our port dray business, contributed to the increase in income from operations quarter over quarter.
Other income from operations increased $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher income from operations in our leasing business, in addition to a decrease in performance-based incentive compensation.
Enterprise net income increased $60.6 million, approximately 38%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period
in 2021, primarily due to a $109.7 million increase in income from operations, partially offset by the corresponding increase in income taxes. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2022 included a pre-tax equity investment loss of $10.1 million compared to a $20.2 million pre-tax gain during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Adjusted net income increased $69.2 million, approximately 43%.
Components of Enterprise Net Income
Enterprise Revenues
Enterprise operating revenues increased $778.0 million, approximately 30%, in the six months ended
June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.
Factors contributing to the increase were as follows:
•a $280.4 million increase in Logistics segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) driven by increased revenue per order, volume growth within our brokerage business (including our Power Only offering), and incremental port dray revenues largely resulting from continued port congestion and supply chain constraints;
•a $214.6 million increase in fuel surcharge revenues resulting from increased fuel prices in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, as well as fuel surcharge revenues from the acquisition of MLS;
•a $193.1 million
increase in Truckload segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) resulting from improved revenue per truck per week, the addition of revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) from the acquisition of MLS, and increased dedicated volumes, partially offset by lower network volumes due to driver capacity constraints and reduced network productivity; and
•a $107.4 million increase in Intermodal segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) due to improvement in revenue per order and an increase in orders despite network fluidity constraints.
Enterprise revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $563.4 million, approximately 24%.
Enterprise Income from Operations and Operating Ratio
Enterprise income from operations increased
$109.7 million, approximately 54%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in revenue per truck per week in Truckload, revenue per order in Intermodal, and net revenue per order in Logistics driven by strong freight market conditions and effective network and revenue management. A net gain on sale of $50.9 million in connection with the sale of our Canadian facility due to a change in approach to servicing Canada also contributed to the increase. Our dedicated Truckload volumes grew with the acquisition of MLS and new business start-ups, while our brokerage business experienced an 18% increase in order volume driven by leveraging our Schneider FreightPower® digital platform and the continued expansion of our Power Only offering. The above factors were partially offset by a $57.0 million adverse settlement related to a lawsuit with former owners of WSL, an
increase in driver-related costs resulting from costs incurred to attract and retain drivers and an increase in company drivers, and higher rail purchased transportation costs within Intermodal.
Adjusted income from operations increased $121.2 million, approximately 60%.
Enterprise operating ratio improved on both a GAAP and adjusted basis when compared to the same period of 2021. Among other factors, our operating ratio can be negatively impacted by changes in portfolio mix when our higher operating ratio, less asset-focused Logistics segment grows faster than our lower operating ratio, capital-intensive Truckload segment.
Key operating expense fluctuations are described below.
•Purchased transportation costs increased $310.9 million, or 26%, period over period, primarily resulting from increased third party carrier costs due to volume growth and higher purchased transportation costs per order within Logistics, as well as higher rail purchased transportation resulting from an increase in both rail costs and orders in Intermodal.
•Salaries, wages, and benefits increased $135.7 million, or 25%, period over period, largely due to higher driver pay within Truckload and Intermodal resulting from pay increases and actions to address driver capacity constraints and an increase in company drivers. The acquisition
of MLS, an increase in headcount across the organization, and incremental healthcare costs contributed to the remaining increase period over period.
•Fuel and fuel taxes for company trucks increased $123.7 million, or 92%, period over period, driven by an increase in cost per gallon and additional fuel expense recorded related to the acquisition of MLS. A significant portion of fuel costs are recovered through our fuel surcharge programs.
•Depreciation and amortization increased $23.8 million, or 16%, period over period, mainly due to the acquisition of MLS, which accounted for approximately half of the increase. The remaining increase was driven by additional depreciation expense incurred as a result of truck and container growth within Truckload and Intermodal, respectively.
•Operating
supplies and expenses—net decreased $11.0 million, or 4%, period over period, largely due to an increase in gains on sales of property and equipment primarily relating to the sale of the Company’s Canadian facility in the first quarter of 2022, offset by fewer equipment sales period over period. Lower cost of goods sold in our leasing business due to a reduction in lease activity also contributed to the decrease in operating supplies and expenses—net period over period. These factors were partially offset by an increase in equipment rental expense due to port congestion and higher customer dwell time, higher maintenance costs due to inflationary cost pressures and the MLS acquisition, a $5.2 million increase in expense related to an adverse audit assessment over the applicability of state sales tax, and additional rail storage expenses caused by network fluidity challenges and increased
container count.
•Insurance and related expenses increased $10.1 million, or 24%, period over period, primarily due to unfavorability in auto liability relating to favorable claims frequency and severity in the prior year. The remaining increase can be attributed to increased claims frequency in the current year and insurance premium costs for MLS.
•Other general expenses increased $75.1 million, or 122%, period over period, primarily due to a $57.0 million adverse settlement related to a lawsuit with former owners of WSL and higher driver onboarding costs resulting from increased costs to attract and retain drivers due to constrained industry-wide capacity levels and the hiring of additional company drivers in 2022.
Total Other Expenses (Income)
Total
other expenses increased $29.2 million, approximately 215%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to a $10.1 million pre-tax loss on our equity investments compared to a $20.2 million pre-tax gain recorded for the same period in 2021. See Note 6, Investments, for more information on our equity investments.
Income Tax Expense
Our provision for income taxes increased $19.9 million, approximately 37%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to higher taxable income. The effective income tax rate was 25.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 25.2% for
the same period last year. Our provision for income taxes may fluctuate in future periods to the extent there are changes to tax laws and regulations.
We
monitor and analyze a number of KPIs in order to manage our business and evaluate our financial and operating performance.
Truckload
The following table presents our Truckload segment KPIs for the periods indicated, consistent with how revenues and expenses are reported internally for segment purposes. Descriptions of the two operations that make up our Truckload segment are as follows:
•Dedicated - Transportation services with equipment devoted to customers under long-term contracts.
•Network - Transportation services of one-way shipments.
Beginning
in 2022, MLS impacts are included within dedicated operations below.
(1)Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), in millions, exclude revenue in transit.
(2)Includes company and owner-operator trucks.

(7)Calculated as segment operating expenses divided by segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) including revenue
in transit and related expenses at the operating segment level.
(8)Excludes the impact of our acquisition of deBoer on June 7, 2022.
Truckload revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $193.1 million, approximately 21%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, due to a 25% increase in rate per loaded mile, realized in response to the impacts of inflation on operating costs and ongoing challenges at customer locations resulting in longer dwell times, and a 6% increase in volume. Dedicated volumes grew due to the acquisition of MLS and new business start-ups, while network volumes declined mainly due to continued driver capacity constraints.
Truckload
income from operations increased $88.2 million, approximately 79%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Factors contributing to the increase in income from operations include favorable pricing conditions and network management, a $50.9 million net gain related to the sale of the Company’s Canadian facility, and additional dedicated volumes inclusive of the MLS acquisition. These items were partially offset by lower volumes within network, an increase in driver-related costs resulting largely from pay increases and other actions taken to attract and retain drivers due to constrained industry-wide capacity levels, and fewer equipment sales resulting in lower gains.
(2)Includes company and owner-operator trucks at the end of the period.
(3)Calculated using rail revenues excluding fuel surcharge and revenue in transit, consistent with how revenue is reported internally for segment purposes.
(4)Calculated as segment operating expenses divided by segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) including revenue in
transit and related expenses at the operating segment level.
Intermodal revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $107.4 million, approximately 20%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Contributing to the increase was a $384, or 16%, improvement in revenue per order driven primarily by strong market conditions partially offset by shorter length of haul, and a 3% increase in orders. Intermodal grew its container count by 6,202, or 28%, period over period, which helped drive the increase in order count despite fluidity challenges.
Intermodal income from operations increased $26.3 million, approximately 48%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, mainly the result of factors
impacting revenues discussed above, partially offset by higher rail-related and dray execution costs.
Logistics
The following table presents the KPI for our Logistics segment for the periods indicated.
(1)Calculated as segment operating expenses divided by segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) including revenue in transit and related expenses at the operating segment level.
Logistics revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $280.4 million, approximately 36%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was mainly the result of an increase in revenue per order and 18% volume growth within our brokerage business driven
by supportive market conditions and expansion of our Power Only offering and Schneider FreightPower® digital platform. Also contributing to the increase were additional port dray revenues resulting from continued port congestion and supply chain constraints.
Logistics income from operations increased $56.3 million, approximately 171%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to net revenue per order improvements within our brokerage business and volume growth within both brokerage and port dray, as cited above.
Other
Included in Other was a loss from operations of $58.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to income of
$2.3 million in the same period in 2021. This change was primarily due to a $57.0 million adverse settlement related to a lawsuit with former owners of WSL and $5.2 million of expense related to an adverse audit assessment over the applicability of state sales tax. This was partially offset by an increase in income from operations within our leasing business.
Our
primary uses of cash are working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividend payments, and debt service requirements. Additionally, we may use cash for acquisitions and other investing and financing activities. Working capital is required principally to ensure we are able to run the business and have sufficient funds to satisfy maturing short-term debt and operational expenses. Our capital expenditures consist primarily of transportation equipment and information technology.
Historically, our primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operations. In addition, we have a $250.0 million revolving credit facility and a $150.0 million accounts receivable facility, for which our available capacity as of June 30, 2022 was $322.8 million. We anticipate that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under our credit facilities,
will be sufficient to meet our requirements for the foreseeable future. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that we will obtain these funds through additional borrowings, equity offerings, or a combination of these potential sources of liquidity. Our ability to fund future operating expenses and capital expenditures, as well as our ability to meet future debt service obligations or refinance our indebtedness, will depend on our future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial, and other factors beyond our control.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes the changes to our net cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the periods indicated.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $98.7 million, approximately 39%, in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was a result of an increase in net income adjusted for various noncash charges and an increase in cash provided by working capital. Working capital changes were driven by an increase in other liabilities, primarily the result of a $57.0 million adverse judgment related to a lawsuit with former owners of WSL, partially offset by an increase in trade accounts receivable, which increased proportionately to revenue growth.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $45.4 million, approximately 34%, in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in cash used was primarily driven by the acquisition of deBoer for $32.5 million, net of cash acquired; higher purchases of lease equipment; and an increase in net capital expenditures.

Net capital expenditures increased $10.5 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was driven by a $5.6 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and a $5.4 million increase in purchases of transportation
equipment mainly due to growth capital and higher costs for new equipment. The decrease in proceeds is primarily due to fewer equipment sales, offset by the sale of our Canadian facility in the first quarter of 2022.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased $62.1 million, approximately 247%, in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The main driver of the increase in net cash used was a $60.0 million repayment of a private placement note in March of 2022.
Other Considerations that Could Affect Our Results, Liquidity, or Capital Resources
Factors that Could Result in a Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill is tested
for impairment at least annually using the discounted cash flow and guideline public company methods in calculating the fair values of our reporting units. Key inputs used in the discounted cash flow approach include growth rates for sales and operating profit, perpetuity growth assumptions, and discount rates. As interest rates rise, the calculated fair values of our reporting units will decrease, which could impact the results of our goodwill impairment tests.
We will perform our annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment as of October 31, 2022, with such analysis expected to be finalized during the fourth quarter. As part of our annual process of updating our goodwill impairment evaluation, we will assess the impact of current operating results and our resulting management actions to determine whether they have an impact on the long-term valuation of
reporting units and the related recoverability of our goodwill.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2022, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
Contractual Obligations
See the disclosure under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contractual Obligations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for our contractual obligations
as of December 31, 2021. There were no material changes to our contractual obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
We have reviewed our critical accounting policies and considered whether new critical accounting estimates
or other significant changes to our accounting policies require additional disclosures. We have found that the disclosures made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 are still current and that there have been no significant changes.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our market risks have not changed significantly from the market risks discussed in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on February
18, 2022.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes
in Internal Control
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is party to various lawsuits in the ordinary course of its business. For information relating to legal proceedings, see Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, which is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form
10-K”).
The following risk factor replaces in its entirety the risk factor titled “We depend on railroads in the operation of our intermodal business, and therefore, our ability to offer intermodal services could be limited if we experience instability from third parties we use in that business” included in our 2021 Form 10-K. For the avoidance of doubt, only the final paragraph of this risk factor has been modified.
We depend on railroads in the operation of our intermodal business, and therefore, our ability to offer intermodal services could be limited if we experience instability from third parties we use in that business.
Our Intermodal segment utilizes railroads and some third-party drayage carriers to transport freight for our intermodal customers. The majority of
these services are provided pursuant to contractual relationships with the railroads. While we have had agreements with all of the Class I railroads, our primary contracts are currently with the BNSF and CSX Transportation (“CSX”) freight railroads to provide rail-based freight transportation services in support of our intermodal operations. One of our competitors has a preferential contractual arrangement with BNSF, which limits the market share and relative profitability of the services we provide through the BNSF. Beginning in 2023, UP will replace BNSF as our primary rail service provider in the western U.S. The transition to UP and away from BNSF will be complete by January 2023. The transition will require cooperation and coordination by Schneider with both BNSF and UP to be successful and to ensure no interruptions in our intermodal service results. Our results of
operations could be adversely affected by any extended interruption of our intermodal service offering due to this transition or UP's ability to manage our rail volumes following the transition.
In certain markets and rail corridors, rail service is limited to a few railroads or even a single railroad due to the lack of competition. Our ability to provide intermodal services in certain traffic lanes is likely to be reduced or constricted if any of the Class I railroads were to discontinue service in those lanes or if the overall state of rail service in those lanes were to deteriorate.
Our contracts with the railroads are subject to periodic renewal, and our intermodal business may be adversely affected by any adverse change in our contract
terms with the railroads, our relationships with the railroads, or declines in service and volume levels provided by the railroads.
In addition, a portion of the freight we deliver through both our Intermodal and Truckload segments is imported to the U.S. through ports of call where workers are largely unionized, and which recently have been, subject to COVID-induced congestion, backlogs, and unloading delays. The ILWU is a labor union which primarily represents dock workers on the West Coast of the U.S. The ILWU’s current coast wide contract with west coast port owners expired on July 1, 2022. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the ILWU and Pacific Maritime Association (“PMA”), which represents west coast port owners, had not entered into
a new contract. In the previous four contract negotiations between the ILWU and port owners dating back to the late 1990s, negotiations went past the July 1 deadline, and in those contract years, work slowdowns or employer lockouts ensued. News reports indicate that the expiration of the contract without an extension removes mechanisms for handling workplace grievances and, as a result, may increase the likelihood of slowdowns if there are labor disputes at any relevant ports. Although, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, news reports indicate that port operations continue as normal while
the ILWU and PMA continue to negotiate; there can be no guarantee that work stoppages, shipping backlogs, port congestion, or other disruptions at any of these ports will not occur. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company does
not have a share repurchase program and did not repurchase any equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Limitation Upon Payment of Dividends
The 2018 Credit Facility includes covenants limiting our ability to pay dividends or make distributions on our capital stock if a default exists under the 2018 Credit Facility or would be caused by giving effect to such dividend.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4.
MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
