KNIGHT-SWIFT TRANSPORTATION HOLDINGS INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 — Introduction and Basis of Presentation

Certain acronyms and terms used throughout this Quarterly Report are specific to the Company, commonly used in the trucking industry, or are otherwise frequently used throughout this document. Definitions for these acronyms and terms are provided in the "Glossary of Terms," available in the front of this document.

Description of Business

Knight-Swift is a transportation solutions provider, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. During the first half of 2020, the Company operated an average of 18,428 tractors (comprised of 16,327 company tractors and 2,101 independent contractor tractors) and 57,456 trailers within the Trucking segment. Additionally, the Company operated an average of 586 tractors and 10,355 containers in the Intermodal segment. The Company's three reportable segments are Trucking, Logistics, and Intermodal.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in this Quarterly Report include the accounts of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Knight-Swift's 2019 Annual Report. In management's opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and include all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for the fair statement of the periods presented.

With respect to transactional/durational data, references to years pertain to calendar years. Similarly, references to quarters pertain to calendar quarters.

Changes in Presentation

Changes in presentation associated with adopting accounting pronouncements are included in Note 2.

Seasonality

In the transportation industry, results of operations generally follow a seasonal pattern. Freight volumes in the first quarter are typically lower due to less consumer demand, customers reducing shipments following the holiday season, and inclement weather. At the same time, operating expenses generally increase, and tractor productivity of the Company's fleet, independent contractors, and third-party carriers decreases during the winter months due to decreased fuel efficiency, increased cold weather-related equipment maintenance and repairs, and increased insurance claims and costs attributed to higher accident frequency from harsh weather. These factors typically lead to lower operating profitability, as compared to other parts of the year. Additionally, beginning in the latter half of the third quarter and continuing into the fourth quarter, the Company typically experiences surges pertaining to holiday shopping trends toward delivery of gifts purchased over the Internet, as well as the length of the holiday season (consumer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas). However, cyclical changes in the trucking industry, including imbalances in supply and demand, can override the seasonality faced in the industry.

Impact of COVID-19

During the first half of 2020, COVID-19 became a global pandemic, which triggered a significant downturn in the global economy. The Company continues to operate its business through the COVID-19 pandemic and has taken additional precautions to ensure the safety of its employees, customers, vendors, and the communities in which it operates. During the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred $10.0 million and $12.3 million, respectively, of expenses directly attributable to the pandemic, which were incremental to those incurred prior to the outbreak. These primarily pertained to payroll premiums paid to drivers and shop technicians, additional disinfectants and cleaning supplies, and various other pandemic-specific items. The costs are clearly separable from normal business operations and are not expected to recur once the pandemic subsides.

There are various uncertainties that have arisen from the COVID-19 pandemic. While management is continuing to monitor the impact of the pandemic on Knight-Swift, including its employees, customers, independent contractors, stockholders, and other business partners and stakeholders, it is difficult to predict the impact that the pandemic will have on future results of its operations, financial position, and liquidity. This has caused some uncertainties around various accounting estimates. Due to these uncertainties, the Company's accounting estimates may change, as management's assessment of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve.

Refer to Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020 for more discussion about potential risks and uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic that may impact our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Note 2 — Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2016-13: Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) — Measurements of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

Summary of the Standard — In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which, in addition to several clarifying ASUs, established the new ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses ("CECL"). The new CECL standard amends the FASB's guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. Specifically, it adds the CECL impairment model to GAAP which is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. This is intended to result in more timely recognition of such losses. Under the new CECL standard, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses. The new CECL standard is also intended to reduce the complexity of GAAP by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. Further, the new CECL standard makes targeted changes to the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and moves the guidance from ASC Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities, to ASC Subtopic 326-30. For public business entities, the new standard was effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. For most debt instruments, entities are required to adopt the new CECL standard using a modified retrospective approach, meaning that entities should record a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective.

Practical Expedient — As permitted under ASU 2016-13 (and related ASUs), management elected to apply the collateral-dependent financial asset practical expedient which allows entities to measure the expected credit losses for the financial asset by comparing the amortized cost basis with the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, rather than using the fair value of the financial asset.

Current Period Impact of Adoption — The Company adopted ASC Topic 326 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption of the standard management assessed the potential impact of the CECL model on each type of the Company's financial assets and determined that there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements or accounting policies.

ASU 2018-15: Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract

Summary of the Standard — In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, which amended ASC Subtopic 350-40 to address a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract ("Service CCA"). The amendments in ASU 2018-15 align the accounting for costs incurred to implement a Service CCA with previously codified guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software.

KNIGHT-SWIFT TRANSPORTATION HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED

Specifically, the ASU amends ASC Subtopic 350-40 to include in its scope implementation costs incurred with a Service CCA. This addition clarifies that a customer should apply the guidance from ASC Paragraph 350-40-25 to determine which stage the project is in before assessing whether implementation costs should be capitalized in a Service CCA that is considered a service contract. These capitalized items should be recorded within the same balance sheet line item as a prepayment for any fees.

Any capitalized costs from the Service CCA should be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement, which includes the noncancelable period and any options to extend that are reasonably certain to be exercised and recorded in the same line item as fees associated with the hosting element of the arrangement. The amendments in this ASU were effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and could be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.

Current Period Impact of Adoption — The Company adopted the amendments in ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 and elected to apply the amendments on a prospective basis to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Upon review of the Service CCA's entered into during year-to-date June 30, 2020, management has determined that adoption of the amendments has not had a material impact on the Company's financial statements and related accounting policies.

ASU 2017-04: Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

Summary of the Standard — In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which amends ASC Topic 350 by simplifying the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are intended to simplify subsequent measurement of goodwill. The key amendment in the ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, in which entities measured a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value to the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of a reporting unit and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The amendments also require companies to disclose the amounts of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of assets. The amendments were effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis.

Current Period Impact of Adoption — The Company adopted the amendments in ASU 2017-14 on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. Management has updated the Company's accounting policy to incorporate the amendments in the ASU and has included the revised disclosure requirements below.

Refer to Note 7 for disclosures about the Company's goodwill balances.

Accounting Policy Update

Goodwill — Management evaluates goodwill on an annual basis as of June 30^th, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test. Management estimates the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income and market approaches. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value, then management recognizes an impairment loss of the same amount. This loss is only limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

Other ASUs

There were various other ASUs that became effective during year-to-date June 30, 2020, which did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, cash flows, or disclosures.

Note 4 — Acquisition

On January 1, 2020, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the "SPA") the Company acquired 100.0% of the equity interests of a warehousing-related company (the "Warehousing Co.") with locations throughout the Central US.

The total purchase price consideration of $66.9 million included $48.2 million in cash to the sellers at closing, which was funded through cash-on-hand and borrowing on the Revolver on the transaction date. At closing, $6.8 million of the cash consideration was placed in escrow to secure certain of the sellers' indemnification obligations and remains subject to further adjustments. The purchase price also included contingent consideration consisting of three additional annual payments of up to $8.1 million each (or $24.3 million in total), representing the maximum possible annual deferred payments to the sellers based on Warehousing Co.'s earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") for each of the calendar years ending December 31, 2020, December 31, 2021, and the annualized six-month period ending June 30, 2022. In order to estimate Warehousing Co.'s future performance, the Company utilized the Monte Carlo simulation method using certain inputs, including Warehousing Co.'s forecasted EBIT, discount rate, dividend yields, expected volatility, and expected stock returns during the above measurement periods. Based on the above inputs, the present value of the total contingent consideration, along with the estimated net working capital adjustment equaled $18.7 million as of January 1, 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, the net working capital adjustment, was reduced by $0.4 million based on the actual versus estimated net working capital adjustment as of the transaction date. This adjustment resulted in the total estimated contingent consideration and net working capital adjustment decreasing to $18.3 million. The total purchase price consideration, as if adjusted at the January 1, 2020 transaction date, is identified in the table below.

The SPA included an election under the Internal Revenue Code Section 338(h)(10). Accordingly, the book and tax basis of the acquired assets and liabilities are the same as of the purchase date. The SPA contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions.

The goodwill recognized represents expected synergies from combining the operations of Warehousing Co. with the Company, including enhanced service offerings, as well as other intangible assets that did not meet the criteria for separate recognition. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The purchase price allocation for the acquisition is preliminary and has been allocated based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, pending the completion of the valuation of acquired tangible assets, an independent valuation of certain acquired intangible assets, assessment of lease agreements, assessment of certain liabilities, the calculation of deferred taxes based upon the underlying tax basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and assessment of other tax related items. As the Company obtains more information, the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed below is subject to change. Any future adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation, including changes within identifiable intangible assets or estimation uncertainty impacted by market conditions, may impact future net earnings. The purchase price allocation adjustments can be made through the end of the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

Note 8 — Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate — The quarter-to-date June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 effective tax rates were 25.0% and 24.7%, respectively. The Company recognized a discrete item relating to stock compensation deductions during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The Company also recognized discrete items relating to stock compensation deductions as well as the partial release of its reserve for uncertain tax positions during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

The year-to-date June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 effective tax rates were 26.0% and 24.4%, respectively. The Company recognized discrete items relating to stock compensation deductions partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations for the year-to-date June 30, 2020. The Company also recognized discrete items relating to stock compensation deductions as well as a partial release of its reserve for uncertain tax positions during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2019.

Valuation Allowance — The Company has not established a valuation allowance as it has been determined that, based upon available evidence, a valuation allowance is not required. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. All other deferred tax assets are expected to be realized and utilized by continued profitability in future periods.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits — Management believes it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $1.0 million in unrecognized tax benefits relating to federal deductions may be necessary within the next twelve months.

Interest and Penalties — Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Tax Examinations — The Company is currently under examination by the IRS for the 2012 tax year and management does not expect any adjustments that would have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries are also currently under examination by various state jurisdictions for tax years ranging from 2013 to 2018. At the completion of these examinations, management does not expect any adjustments that would have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate. Years subsequent to 2014 remain subject to examination.

Note 9 — Accounts Receivable Securitization

The 2018 RSA is a secured borrowing that is collateralized by the Company's eligible receivables, for which the Company is the servicing agent. The Company's receivable originator subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, undivided interests in all of their eligible accounts receivable to Swift Receivables Company II, LLC ("SRCII") who in turn sells a variable percentage ownership in those receivables to the various purchasers. The Company's eligible receivables are included in "Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2020, the Company's eligible receivables generally have high credit quality, as determined by the obligor's corporate credit rating.

The 2018 RSA is subject to fees, various affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties, and default and termination provisions customary for facilities of this type. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2020. Collections on the underlying receivables by the Company are held for the benefit of SRCII and the various purchasers and are unavailable to satisfy claims of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Note 10 — Commitments

Purchase Commitments

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding commitments to purchase revenue equipment of $317.9 million in the remainder of 2020 ($224.0 million of which were tractor commitments) and none thereafter. These purchases may be financed through any combination of operating leases, finance leases, debt, proceeds from sales of existing equipment, and cash flows from operations.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding commitments to purchase facilities and non-revenue equipment of $19.2 million in the remainder of 2020, $1.8 million in the two-year period 2021 through 2022, $0.2 million in the two-year period 2023 through 2024, and none thereafter. Factors such as costs and opportunities for future terminal expansions may change the amount of such expenditures.

TRP Commitments

Since 2003, Knight has entered into partnership agreements with entities that make privately-negotiated equity investments. In these agreements, Knight committed to invest in return for an ownership percentage. During the first quarter of 2020, Knight entered into a $20.0 million commitment to invest in the newly formed TRP Capital Partners V, LP with $16.8 million outstanding as of June 30, 2020. There were no other material changes related to the previously disclosed TRP commitments during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Note 11 — Contingencies and Legal Proceedings

Legal Proceedings

Information is provided below regarding the nature, status, and contingent loss amounts, if any, associated with the Company's pending legal matters. There are inherent uncertainties in these legal matters, some of which are beyond management's control, making the ultimate outcomes difficult to predict. Moreover, management's views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and the matters continue to develop.

The Company has made accruals with respect to its legal matters where appropriate, which are included in "Accrued liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has recorded an aggregate accrual of approximately $27.9 million, relating to the Company's outstanding legal proceedings as of June 30, 2020.

Based on management's present knowledge of the facts and (in certain cases) advice of outside counsel, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's overall financial position, operating results, or cash flows after taking into account any existing accruals. However, actual outcomes could be material to the Company's financial position, operating results, or cash flows for any particular period.

Note 13 — Weighted Average Shares Outstanding

Earnings per share, basic and diluted, as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, are calculated by dividing net income attributable to Knight-Swift by the respective weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.

The following table reconciles basic weighted average shares outstanding to diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

			Quarter-to-Date June 30,																		Year-to-Date June 30,
			2020						2019						2020						2019

Note 15 — Information by Segment and Geography

Segment Information

The Company has three reportable segments: Trucking, Logistics, and Intermodal, as well as the non-reportable segments, discussed below. Based on how economic factors affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue or cash flows, the Company disaggregates revenues by reportable segment for the purposes of applying the ASC Topic 606 guidance.

The Company's twenty operating segments are structured around the types of transportation service offerings provided to our customers, as well as the equipment utilized. In addition, the operating segments may be further distinguished by the Company’s respective brands. The Company aggregated these various operating segments into the three reportable segments discussed below based on similarities with both their qualitative and economic characteristics.

Trucking

The Trucking reportable segment is comprised of nine trucking operating segments that provide similar transportation services to our customers utilizing similar transportation equipment over both irregular (one-way movement) and/or dedicated routes. The Trucking reportable segment consists of irregular route and dedicated, refrigerated, expedited, flatbed, and cross-border operations.

Logistics

The Logistics reportable segment is comprised of five logistics operating segments that provide similar transportation services to our customers and primarily consist of brokerage and other freight management services utilizing third-party transportation providers and their equipment.

Intermodal

The Intermodal reportable segment is comprised of two intermodal operating segments that provide similar transportation services to our customers. These transportation services include arranging the movement of customers' freight through third-party intermodal rail services on the Company’s trailing equipment (trailers on flat cars and rail containers), as well as drayage services to transport loads between the railheads and customer locations.

Non-reportable

The non-reportable segments include four operating segments that consist of support services provided to the Company's customers and independent contractors (including repair and maintenance shop services, equipment leasing, warranty services, and insurance), trailer parts manufacturing, warehousing, and certain driving academy activities, as well as certain corporate expenses (such as legal settlements and accruals, certain impairments, and amortization of intangibles related to the 2017 Merger and various acquisitions).

Intersegment Eliminations

Certain operating segments provide transportation and related services for other affiliates outside of their reportable segments. For certain operating segments, such services are billed at cost, and no profit is earned. For the other operating segments, revenues for such services are based on negotiated rates, and are reflected as revenues of the billing segment. These rates are adjusted from time to time, based on market conditions. Such intersegment revenues and expenses are eliminated in Knight-Swift's consolidated results.

Note 16 — Fair Value Measurement

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. The estimated fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Because the fair value is estimated as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments in the future could be significantly different.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments represent management's best estimates of the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. The estimated fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the estimated fair value measurement reflects management's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available under the circumstances.

The following summary presents a description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument.

Restricted Investments, Held-to-Maturity — The estimated fair value of the Company's restricted investments, held-to-maturity, is based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. See Note 5 for additional disclosures regarding restricted investments, held-to-maturity.

Transportation Resource Partners — The estimated fair value of the Company's investments with Transportation Resource Partners are privately negotiated equity investments. The carrying amount of these investments approximates the fair value.

Equity Securities — The estimated fair value of the Company's investments in equity securities is based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable.

Debt Instruments and Leases — For notes payable under the Revolver and the Term Loan, fair value approximates the carrying value due to the variable interest rate. The carrying value of the 2018 RSA approximates fair value, as the underlying receivables are short-term in nature and only eligible receivables (such as those with high credit ratings) are qualified to secure the borrowed amounts. For finance and operating lease liabilities, the carrying value approximates the fair value, as the Company's finance and operating lease liabilities are structured to amortize in a manner similar to the depreciation of the underlying assets.

Contingent Consideration — The estimated fair value of the Company's contingent consideration owed to Warehousing Co.'s seller is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on the acquiree's earnings before interest and taxes.

Other — Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net accounts receivable, income tax refund receivable, and accounts payable represent financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value, as they are short-term in nature. These instruments are accordingly excluded from the disclosures below. All remaining balance sheet amounts excluded from the below are not considered financial instruments, subject to this disclosure.

Executive Summary

Impact of COVID-19

During the second quarter and first half of 2020, we incurred approximately $10.0 million and $12.3 million, respectively, of expenses directly attributable to the pandemic, which were incremental to those incurred prior to the outbreak. These primarily pertained to payroll premiums paid to our drivers and shop technicians, as well as additional disinfectants and cleaning supplies, and various other pandemic-specific items. The costs are clearly separable from our normal business operations and are not expected to recur once the pandemic subsides.

Refer to Note 1 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for further discussion around the impact of COVID-19 on our company. Refer to Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020 for more discussion about potential risks and uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic that may impact our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Company Overview

Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. is North America's largest truckload carrier and a provider of transportation solutions, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. The Company provides multiple truckload transportation, intermodal, and logistics services using a nationwide network of business units and terminals in the US and Mexico to serve customers throughout North America. In addition to its truckload services, Knight-Swift also contracts with third-party capacity providers to provide a broad range of shipping solutions to its customers while creating quality driving jobs for our driving associates and successful business opportunities for independent contractors. Our three reportable segments are Trucking, Logistics, and Intermodal. Additionally, we have various non-reportable segments. Refer to Note 15 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for descriptions of our segments.

Our objective is to operate our business with industry-leading margins and growth while providing safe, high-quality, cost-effective solutions for our customers.

Revenue

•Our trucking services include irregular route and dedicated, refrigerated, expedited, flatbed, and cross-border transportation of various products, goods, and materials for our diverse customer base. We primarily generate revenue by transporting freight for our customers through our Trucking segment.

•Our logistics and intermodal operations provide a multitude of shipping solutions, including additional sources of truckload capacity and alternative transportation modes, by utilizing our vast network of third-party capacity providers and rail providers, as well as certain logistics and freight management services. Revenue in our logistics and intermodal operations is generated through our Logistics and Intermodal segments.

•Our non-reportable segments include support services provided to our customers and independent contractors (including repair and maintenance shop services, equipment leasing, warranty services, and insurance), trailer parts manufacturing, warehousing, and certain driving academy activities, as well as certain corporate expenses (such as legal settlements and accruals, certain impairments, and amortization of intangibles related to the 2017 Merger and various acquisitions).

•In addition to the revenues earned from our customers for the trucking and non-trucking services discussed above, we also earn fuel surcharge revenue from our customers through our fuel surcharge program, which serves to recover a majority of our fuel costs. This applies only to loaded miles and typically does not offset non-paid empty miles, idle time, and out-of-route miles driven. Fuel surcharge programs involve a computation based on the change in national or regional fuel prices. These programs may update as often as weekly, but typically require a specified minimum change in fuel cost to prompt a change in fuel surcharge revenue. Therefore, many of these programs have a time lag between when fuel costs change and when the change is reflected in fuel surcharge revenue for our Trucking segment.

Expenses — Our most significant expenses vary with miles traveled and include fuel, driving associate-related expenses (such as wages and benefits), and services purchased from independent contractors and other transportation providers (such as railroads, drayage providers, and other trucking companies). Maintenance and tire expenses, as well as the cost of insurance and claims generally vary with the miles we travel, but also have a controllable component based on safety improvements, fleet age, efficiency, and other factors. Our primary fixed costs are depreciation and lease expense for revenue equipment and terminals, amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, and non-driver employee compensation.

Operating Statistics — We measure our consolidated and segment results through certain operating statistics, which are discussed under "Results of Operations — Segment Review — Operating Statistics," below. Our results are affected by various economic, industry, operational, regulatory, and other factors, which are set forth in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our 2019 Annual Report, Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and various disclosures in our press releases, stockholder reports, and other filings with the SEC.

Market Trends and Company Performance

Trends and Outlook — Our operational discipline, agility, and cost-control culture enabled us to execute through the unprecedented challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, which introduced a new source of volatility throughout the global markets during the first half of 2020. Our diversified customer base, networks, and unique brands positioned us to navigate a disrupted freight environment of unpredictable shipping volumes, shifts in pricing, and continued challenges in driver sourcing.

The national unemployment rate was 11.1%¹ as of June 30, 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in higher unemployment rates in the beginning of the quarter, which began to decline in May and June as economic activities resumed. A more pronounced reduction in trained drivers (primarily due to social distancing measures across the nation), ongoing competition for experienced hires, increased safety regulations, and various alternative sources of income to potential drivers are all hampering driver sourcing efforts throughout the industry.

During the second quarter of 2020, the US gross domestic product, which is the broadest measure of goods and services produced across the economy, decreased by 32.9%², per preliminary third-party forecasts. This may result in an expected annualized growth rate of approximately -5.0% to -6.0%³ for full-year 2020, as third-party forecasts are predicting an economic rebound in the latter half of this year. The second quarter 2020 US employment cost index rose 2.7%¹ and 0.5%¹ on a year-over-year and sequential basis, respectively.

From a freight market perspective, demand in April was weak, but gradually strengthened throughout the quarter, and remained strong in July. We are encouraged by the continued strength in freight demand in July; however, demand may be difficult to predict for the back half of the year. We believe supply has and will continue to exit the market as evidenced by significantly lower class 8 truck orders, a weak used equipment market, and lower transportation employment levels.

Looking across our portfolio of brands and freight networks, some of our operating segments performed consistently throughout the quarter, while others experienced more volatility in results. Our Trucking segment improved its Adjusted Operating Ratio to 85.5% in the second quarter of 2020, as strong cost controls and lower fuel prices overcame a 6.5% decrease in average revenue per tractor and a $5.8 million (or $0.03 of earnings per diluted share, after taxes) decline in gain on sales of used equipment. Our Logistics segment produced an Adjusted Operating Ratio of 95.5% in the second quarter of 2020, primarily driven by a gross margin of 15.7% within our brokerage business. Consistent with port industry trends, load volumes within our Intermodal segment continued to be pressured and decreased by 23.9% in the second quarter of 2020, as compared to the same quarter last year, while margins worsened.

We anticipate that depreciation and amortization expense will increase and rental expense will correspondingly decrease, as a percentage of revenue excluding trucking fuel surcharge, as we intend to purchase, rather than lease, a majority of our revenue equipment in 2020. With significant tightening in the insurance markets, we may also experience changes in premiums and retention limits in 2020. While fuel expense is generally offset by fuel surcharge revenue, our fuel expense, net of fuel surcharge revenue may increase in the future.

We continue to maintain our leverage ratio within our targeted range and remain committed to a strong capital structure, which we believe will position us for long-term success and enable us to pursue further opportunities for organic growth, growth through acquisitions, and other capital allocation opportunities. We do not foresee material liquidity constraints or any issues with our ongoing ability to meet our debt covenants.

•Contributor — $5.4 million increase in "Other income, net" primarily related to an increase in gains recognized within our portfolio of investments.

•Offset — $18.0 million decrease in operating income within our Trucking Segment, which was primarily due to a 6.5% decrease in average revenue per tractor and a $5.8 million reduction in gain on sales of revenue equipment, as well as $9.9 million in incremental expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

•Offset — $8.7 million change from operating income in the second quarter of 2019 to operating loss in the second quarter of 2020 in our Intermodal Segment due to continued market pressures, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on port volumes.

Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $21.5 million decrease in net income attributable to Knight-Swift to $145.6 million during year-to-date June 30, 2020 from $167.1 million during the same period last year includes the following:

•Contributor — $25.8 million decrease in operating income within our Trucking Segment, which was primarily due to a $14.5 million reduction in gain on sales of revenue equipment, a 4.6% decrease in average revenue per tractor, as well as $12.1 million in COVID-19 related incremental expenses.

•Contributor — $13.8 million change from operating income in the first half of 2019 to operating loss in the first half of 2020 in our Intermodal Segment due to continued market pressures, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on port volumes.

•Contributor — $5.5 million decrease in operating income within our Logistics Segment which was primarily due to a 4.1% decrease in revenue per load.

•Offset — $24.5 million decrease in operating loss from our non-reportable segments primarily due to the $15.5 million jury verdict recognized in the first half of 2019 and additional income earned from warehousing activities in the first half of 2020.

See additional discussion of our operating results within "Results of Operations — Consolidated Operating and Other Expenses" below.

Liquidity and Capital — During the first half of the year, we generated $383.4 million in operating cash flows, reduced our operating lease liabilities by $48.2 million, used $195.2 million for capital expenditures (net of equipment sales proceeds), and returned $27.7 million to our stockholders in the form of quarterly dividends. We also repurchased $34.6 million worth of our common stock at an average price of $30.41 per share (all within the first quarter of 2020).

We ended the quarter with $117.8 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $235.0 million outstanding on the Revolver, $365.0 million face value outstanding on the Term Loan, and $5.8 billion of stockholders' equity.

We continue to maintain our leverage ratio within our targeted range and remain committed to a strong capital structure, which we believe will position us for long-term success and enable us to pursue further opportunities for organic growth, growth through acquisitions, and other capital allocation opportunities. We do not foresee material liquidity constraints or any issues with our ongoing ability to meet our debt covenants.

Segment Review

Trucking Segment

We generate revenue in the Trucking segment primarily through irregular route, dedicated, refrigerated, flatbed, expedited, and cross-border service offerings. Generally, we are paid a predetermined rate per mile or per load for our trucking services. Additional revenues are generated by charging for tractor and trailer detention, loading and unloading activities, dedicated services, and other specialized services, as well as through the collection of fuel surcharge revenue to mitigate the impact of increases in the cost of fuel. The main factors that affect the revenue generated by our Trucking segment are rate per mile from our customers, the percentage of miles for which we are compensated, and the number of loaded miles we generate with our equipment.

The most significant expenses in the Trucking segment are primarily variable and include fuel and fuel taxes, driving associate-related expenses (such as wages, benefits, training, and recruitment), and costs associated with independent contractors primarily included in "Purchased transportation" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Maintenance expense (which includes costs for replacement tires for our revenue equipment) and insurance and claims expenses have both fixed and variable components. These expenses generally vary with the miles we travel, but also have a controllable component based on safety, fleet age, efficiency, and other factors. The main fixed costs in the Trucking segment are depreciation and rent expenses from leasing and acquiring revenue equipment and terminals, as well as compensating our non-driver employees.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED

Comparison Between the Quarters Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 — Operating Ratio was 87.7% in the second quarters of 2020 and 2019. We improved the Adjusted Operating Ratio within this segment to 85.5% in the second quarter of 2020 from 85.8% in the second quarter of 2019, despite a $5.8 million reduction in gain on sales of revenue equipment. We continued to see improvement in our dedicated and refrigerated operating segments during the quarter. Average revenue per tractor decreased by 6.5%, driven by a 3.9% decrease in miles per tractor. Revenue per loaded mile, excluding fuel surcharge and intersegment transactions, was flat sequentially and decreased 1.7% year-over-year. We expect rate per mile to inflect positively year-over-year in the third quarter.

Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — Operating Ratio was 88.0% in the first half of 2020 compared to 87.9% in the first half of 2019. We improved the Adjusted Operating Ratio within this segment to 86.0% in the first half of 2020 from 86.2% in the first half 2019, despite a $14.5 million reduction in gain on sales of revenue equipment. Average revenue per tractor decreased by 4.6%, driven by a 1.9% decrease in miles per tractor. Revenue per loaded mile, excluding fuel surcharge and intersegment transactions, decreased 2.4% when comparing the first halves of 2020 and 2019.

Logistics Segment

The Logistics segment is less asset-intensive than the Trucking segment and is dependent upon capable non-driver employees, modern and effective information technology, and third-party capacity providers. Logistics revenue is primarily generated by its brokerage operations. We generate additional revenue by offering specialized logistics solutions (including, but not limited to, origin management, surge volume, disaster relief, special projects, and other logistic needs). Logistics revenue is mainly affected by the rates we obtain from customers, the freight volumes we ship through third-party capacity providers, and our ability to secure third-party capacity providers to transport customer freight.

The most significant expense in the Logistics segment is the (primarily) variable cost of purchased transportation that we pay to third-party capacity providers, included in "Purchased transportation" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Variability in this expense depends on truckload capacity, availability of third-party capacity providers, rates charged to customers, current freight demand, and customer shipping needs. Fixed Logistics operating expenses primarily include non-driver employee compensation and benefits recorded in "Salaries, wages, and benefits" and depreciation and amortization expense recorded in "Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Brokerage-only — With recent tightening of capacity, brokerage gross margin decreased to 15.7% in the second quarter of 2020 from 16.2% in the second quarter of 2019. Margins were strong to begin the quarter and subsequently compressed, as the truckload market improved throughout the second quarter of 2020. A 10.1% decrease in brokerage load volumes and a 4.5% decrease in brokerage revenue per load resulted in a 14.2% decrease in brokerage revenue, excluding intersegment transactions. Our power-only service offering experienced 73.8% year-over-year growth in load volumes and represented 17.3% of our total brokerage load volumes in the second quarter of 2020.

Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — Operating Ratio was 95.5% in the first half of 2020 compared to 92.8% in the first half of 2019. Adjusted Operating Ratio in the Logistics segment (which primarily consists of our brokerage services) increased to 95.3% in the first half of 2020 from 92.7% in the first half of 2019.

Brokerage-only — Brokerage gross margin decreased to 15.1% in the first half of 2020 from 17.0% in the first half of 2019. An 8.2% decrease in brokerage load volumes and a 4.1% decrease in brokerage revenue per load resulted in a 12.0% decrease in brokerage revenue, excluding intersegment transactions.

Intermodal Segment

The Intermodal segment complements our regional operating model, allows us to better serve customers in longer haul lanes, and reduces our investment in fixed assets. Through the Intermodal segment, we generate revenue by moving freight over the rail in our containers and other trailing equipment, combined with revenue for drayage to transport loads between railheads and customer locations. The most significant expense in the Intermodal segment is the cost of purchased transportation that we pay to third-party capacity providers (including rail providers), which is primarily variable and included in "Purchased transportation" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Purchased transportation varies as it relates to rail capacity, freight demand, and customer shipping needs. The main fixed costs in the Intermodal segment are depreciation of our company tractors related to drayage, containers, and chassis, as well as non-driver employee compensation and benefits.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED

Comparison Between the Quarters Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 — Operating Ratio was 105.4% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 96.5% in the second quarter of 2019. During the second quarter of 2020, our Intermodal segment produced an Adjusted Operating Ratio of 105.3%, compared to 96.4% during the second quarter of 2019. Continued market pressures, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on port volumes, contributed to a 29.8% decrease in revenue, excluding intersegment transactions, as load counts decreased 23.9% and revenue per load decreased 7.8%. We continue to develop our Intermodal network and cost structure and expect to see improved results in the back half of the year.

Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — Operating Ratio was 104.1% in the first half of 2020 compared to 97.2% in the first half of 2019. During the first half of 2020, our Intermodal segment produced an Adjusted Operating Ratio of 104.0%, compared to 97.2% during the first half of 2019. Continued market pressures, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on port volumes, contributed to a 24.0% decrease in revenue, excluding intersegment transactions, as load counts decreased 18.6% and revenue per load decreased 6.7%.

Non-reportable Segments

The non-reportable segments include support services provided to our customers and independent contractors (including repair and maintenance shop services, equipment leasing, warranty services, and insurance), trailer parts manufacturing, warehousing, and certain driving academy activities, as well as certain corporate expenses (such as legal settlements and accruals, certain impairments, and $11.2 million in quarterly amortization of intangibles related to the 2017 Merger and various acquisitions).

Results of Operations — Consolidated Operating and Other Expenses

Consolidated Operating Expenses

The following tables present certain operating expenses from our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, including each operating expense as a percentage of total revenue and as a percentage of revenue, excluding trucking fuel surcharge. Trucking fuel surcharge revenue can be volatile and is primarily dependent upon the cost of fuel, rather than operating expenses unrelated to fuel. Therefore, we believe that revenue, excluding trucking fuel surcharge is a better measure for analyzing many of our expenses and operating metrics.

			Quarter-to-Date June 30,																		Year-to-Date June 30,																		QTD 2020 vs.						YTD 2020 vs.
			2020						2019						2020						2019						QTD 2019						YTD 2019
			(Dollars in thousands)																																										Increase (Decrease)
Salaries, wages, and benefits			$	365,311					$	380,354					$	720,144					$	744,209					(4.0		%)				(3.2		%)
% of total revenue			34.4		%				30.6		%				33.0		%				30.4		%				380 bps						260 bps
% of revenue, excluding trucking fuel surcharge			36.6		%				33.9		%				35.6		%				33.5		%				270 bps						210 bps

Salaries, wages, and benefits expense is primarily affected by the total number of miles driven by company driving associates, the rate per mile we pay our company driving associates, and employee benefits, including healthcare, workers' compensation, and other benefits. To a lesser extent, non-driver employee headcount, compensation, and benefits affect this expense. Driving associate wages represent the largest component of salaries, wages, and benefits expense.

Several ongoing market factors have reduced the pool of available driving associates, contributing to a challenging driver sourcing market, which we believe will continue. Having a sufficient number of qualified driving associates is a significant headwind, although we continue to seek ways to attract and retain qualified driving associates, including heavily investing in our recruiting efforts, our driving academies, and technology and terminals that improve the experience of driving associates. We expect driving associate pay to remain inflationary, which could result in additional driving associate pay increases in the future.

•Comparison Between the Quarters Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $15.0 million decrease within consolidated salaries, wages and benefits was primarily attributed to a decrease in miles driven by company drivers, favorable developments within workers' compensation expense, as well as lower medical insurance costs. These decreases were partially offset by $7.8 million in incremental payroll premiums paid to our company driving associates and shop technicians in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 expenses were clearly separable from our normal business operations and are not expected to recur once the pandemic subsides.

•Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $24.1 million decrease within consolidated salaries, wages and benefits was primarily attributed to a decrease in miles driven by company drivers, favorable developments within workers' compensation expense, as well as lower medical insurance costs. These decreases were partially offset by $9.0 million in incremental payroll premiums paid to our company driving associates and shop technicians in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 expenses were clearly separable from our normal business operations and are not expected to recur once the pandemic subsides.

% of revenue, excluding trucking fuel surcharge			8.7		%				13.5		%				10.3		%				13.1		%				(480 bps)						(280 bps)

Fuel expense consists primarily of diesel fuel expense for our company-owned tractors and fuel taxes. The primary factors affecting our fuel expense are the cost of diesel fuel, the fuel economy of our equipment, and the miles driven by company driving associates.

Our fuel surcharge programs help to offset increases in fuel prices, but apply only to loaded miles and typically do not offset non-paid empty miles, idle time, or out-of-route miles driven. Typical fuel surcharge programs involve a computation based on the change in national or regional fuel prices. These programs may update as often as weekly, but typically require a specified minimum change in fuel cost to prompt a change in fuel surcharge revenue for our Trucking segment. Therefore, many of these programs have a time lag between when fuel costs change and when the change is reflected in fuel surcharge revenue. Due to this time lag, our fuel expense, net of fuel surcharge, negatively impacts our operating income during periods of sharply rising fuel costs and positively impacts our operating income during periods of falling fuel costs. We continue to utilize our fuel efficiency initiatives such as trailer blades, idle-control, management of tractor speeds, fleet updates for more fuel-efficient engines, management of fuel procurement, and driving associate training programs that we believe contribute to controlling our fuel expense.

•Comparison Between the Quarters Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $64.9 million decrease in consolidated fuel expense is primarily due to a decrease in average DOE fuel prices to $2.44 per gallon for the second quarter of 2020 from $3.12 per gallon for the second quarter of 2019 and a 3.3% decrease in the total miles driven by company driving associates.

•Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $81.5 million decrease in consolidated fuel expense is primarily due to a decrease in average DOE fuel prices to $2.67 per gallon for year-to-date June 30, 2020 from $3.07 per gallon for year-to-date June 30, 2019 and a 0.4% decrease in miles driven by company driving associates.

% of revenue, excluding trucking fuel surcharge			6.6		%				7.3		%				6.6		%				7.3		%				(70 bps)						(70 bps)

Operations and maintenance expense consists of direct operating expenses, equipment maintenance, and tire expense. Operations and maintenance expenses are affected by the age of our company-owned fleet of tractors and trailers. We expect the driver market to remain competitive throughout 2020, which could increase future driving associate development and recruiting costs and negatively affect our operations and maintenance expense. We expect to continue refreshing our tractor fleet in the coming quarters, and anticipate that maintenance costs will gradually decrease as we reduce the average age of our fleet.

The second quarter decrease of $16.4 million and year-to-date decrease of $27.7 million in consolidated operations and maintenance expense was attributed to reduced maintenance expense associated with refreshing our fleet with newer equipment and the decreases in miles driven by company driving associates noted above.

% of revenue, excluding trucking fuel surcharge			4.5		%				4.3		%				4.9		%				4.5		%				20 bps						40 bps

Insurance and claims expense consists of premiums for liability, physical damage, and cargo, and will vary based upon the frequency and severity of claims, as well as our level of self-insurance, and premium expense. In recent years, insurance carriers have raised premiums for many businesses, including transportation companies, and as a result, our insurance and claims expense could increase in the future, or we could raise our self-insured retention limits when our policies are renewed or replaced. Insurance and claims expense also varies based on the number of miles driven by company driving associates and independent contractors, the frequency and severity of accidents, trends in development factors used in actuarial accruals, and developments in large, prior-year claims. In future periods, our higher self-insured retention limits, as well as a tightening of excess insurance markets, may cause our consolidated insurance and claims expense to fluctuate more.

•Comparison Between the Quarters Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 — Consolidated insurance and claims expense decreased by $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in total miles driven year-over-year, improvements within our current year experience as a result of lower frequency and severity of claims, and positive development with certain prior year losses.

•Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — Consolidated insurance and claims expense increased by $0.7 million for year-to-date June 30, 2020, as compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to negative development within certain prior year losses recognized during the first quarter which were partially offset by improvements within our current year experience as a result of lower frequency and severity in claims, as well as a decrease in total miles driven year-over-year.

Depreciation relates primarily to our owned tractors, trailers, buildings, electronic logging devices, other communication units, and other similar assets. Changes to this fixed cost are generally attributed to increases or decreases to company-owned equipment, the relative percentage of owned versus leased equipment, and fluctuations in new equipment purchase prices, which have historically been precipitated in part by new or proposed federal and state regulations. Depreciation can also be affected by the cost of used equipment that we sell or trade and the replacement of older used equipment. Management periodically reviews the condition, average age, and reasonableness of estimated useful lives and salvage values of our equipment and considers such factors in light of our experience with similar assets, used equipment market conditions, and prevailing industry practice.

Consolidated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment increased by $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $20.9 million in the first half of 2020, when compared to the same periods last year. These increases were primarily related to the increase in owned versus leased equipment.

We expect consolidated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment to increase both in total and as a percentage of consolidated revenue, excluding trucking fuel surcharge, as we currently do not plan to use operating leases as a primary means of funding our equipment purchases in the remainder of 2020.

Amortization of intangibles relates to intangible assets identified with the 2017 Merger and other acquisitions. See Note 7 in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report for further details regarding the Company's intangible assets. The increases of $0.8 million for the second quarter and $1.6 million for the first half of 2020, when compared to the same periods last year, were attributed to an acquisition completed on January 1, 2020. See Note 4 in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report for more details regarding details of our acquisitions.

% of revenue, excluding trucking fuel surcharge			2.2		%				2.9		%				2.4		%				3.1		%				(70 bps)						(70 bps)

Rental expense consists primarily of payments for tractors and trailers financed with operating leases. The primary factors affecting the expense are the size of our revenue equipment fleet and the relative percentage of owned versus leased equipment.

Consolidated rental expense decreased by $10.5 million and $20.7 million for the second quarter and first half of 2020, as compared to the same periods last year. This was primarily due to increasing our ratio of owned versus leased equipment.

We expect consolidated rental expense to continue to decrease both in total and as a percentage of consolidated revenue, excluding trucking fuel surcharge, as we currently do not plan to use operating leases as a primary means of funding our equipment purchases in the remainder of 2020.

% of revenue, excluding trucking fuel surcharge			20.1		%				23.3		%				21.0		%				23.9		%				(320 bps)						(290 bps)

Purchased transportation expense is comprised of payments to independent contractors in our trucking operations, as well as payments to third-party capacity providers related to logistics, freight management, and non-trucking services in our logistics and intermodal businesses.  Purchased transportation is generally affected by capacity in the market as well as changes in fuel prices. As capacity tightens, our payments to third-party capacity providers and to independent contractors tend to increase. Additionally, as fuel prices increase, payments to third-party capacity providers and independent contractors increase.

We expect purchased transportation will increase as a percentage of revenue if we grow our logistics and intermodal businesses. The increase could be partially offset if independent contractors exit the market due to regulatory changes.

Consolidated purchased transportation expense decreased by $61.2 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $105.2 million for the first half of 2020, as compared to the same periods last year. This was primarily due to a decrease in miles driven by independent contractors of 23.0% and 22.7% for the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively and lower fuel reimbursement expenses to independent contractors due to fewer miles and the lower fuel prices discussed above. In addition, experienced lower purchased transportation expense from third-party carrier activities in our Logistics and Intermodal segments.

Impairments			$	353					$	2,182					$	1,255					$	2,182					(83.8		%)				(42.5		%)

In 2020, we incurred impairment charges associated with revenue equipment held for sale and trailer tracking systems (within our Trucking and non-reportable segments). In 2019, we incurred impairment charges of leasehold improvements (within the Trucking segment) from the early termination of a lease of one of our operating properties.

Miscellaneous operating expenses			$	20,778					$	34,108					$	43,794					$	46,744					(39.1		%)				(6.3		%)

Miscellaneous operating expenses primarily consist of legal and professional services fees, general and administrative expenses, other costs, as well as net gain on sales of equipment.

•Comparison Between the Quarters Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $13.3 million decrease in net consolidated miscellaneous operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses as we incurred $15.5 million in incremental costs associated with an unfavorable verdict in the second quarter of 2019, which were partially offset by a $5.8 million reduction in gain on sales of equipment.

•Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $3.0 million decrease in net consolidated miscellaneous operating expenses is primarily due to the decrease in legal expenses noted above, which were partially offset by a $14.5 million reduction in gain on sales of equipment.

Income tax expense			26,815						26,076						51,369						53,999						2.8		%				(4.9		%)

Interest expense — Interest expense is comprised of debt and finance lease interest expense as well as amortization of deferred loan costs. The quarter and year-to-date decreases in interest expense were primarily due to lower overall interest rates.

Other (income), net — Other (income), net is primarily comprised of unrealized (gains) and losses from our various equity investments, including our TRP investments accounted for under the equity method, as well as certain other non-operating income and expense items that may arise outside of the normal course of business.

•Comparison Between the Quarters Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $5.4 million favorable change between the second quarter of 2020 and 2019 is primarily attributed to unrealized gains from our various equity investments.

•Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $7.2 million unfavorable change between the first half of 2020 and the first half of 2019 is primarily attributed to unrealized losses from our investments in TRP.

Income tax expense — In addition to the discussion below, Note 8 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report provides further analysis related to income taxes.

•Comparison Between the Quarters Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $0.7 million increase in consolidated income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax earnings, partially offset by an increase in stock compensation deductions recognized as a discrete item in the second quarter of 2020, as compared to the second quarter of 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, we recognized discrete items related to a partial release of our reserve for uncertain tax positions and a decrease in stock compensation deductions. All of these factors resulted in an effective tax rate of 25.0% for the second quarter of 2020 and 24.7% for the second quarter of 2019.

•Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $2.6 million decrease in consolidated income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax earnings, an increase in stock compensation deductions, and an increase in unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations recognized as discrete items. During the first half of 2019, we also recognized discrete items related to a reduction in our reserve for uncertain tax positions and a decrease in stock compensation deductions. All of these factors resulted in an effective tax rate of 26.0% for the first half of 2020 and 24.4% for the first half of 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The terms "Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift," "Adjusted EPS," "Adjusted Operating Income," and "Adjusted Operating Ratio," as we define them, are not presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures supplement our GAAP results in evaluating certain aspects of our business. We believe that using these measures improves comparability in analyzing our performance because they remove the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Management and the Board focus on Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Operating Ratio as key measures of our performance, all of which are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures and further discussed below. We believe our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Operating Ratio are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures, such as net income, cash flows from operating activities, operating income, or other measures prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. Although we believe that they improve comparability in analyzing our period to period performance, they could limit comparability to other companies in our industry if those companies define these measures differently. Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered measures of income generated by our business or discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis.

Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the following tables reconcile GAAP consolidated net income attributable to Knight-Swift to non-GAAP consolidated Adjusted Net Income attributable to Knight-Swift, GAAP consolidated earnings per diluted share to non-GAAP consolidated Adjusted EPS, GAAP consolidated operating ratio to non-GAAP consolidated Adjusted Operating Ratio, GAAP reportable segment operating income to non-GAAP reportable segment Adjusted Operating Income, and GAAP reportable segment operating ratio to non-GAAP reportable segment Adjusted Operating Ratio.

1 As of June 30, 2020, we had $235.0 million in borrowings under our $800.0 million Revolver. We additionally had $31.1 million in outstanding letters of credit (discussed below), leaving $533.9 million available under the Revolver.

2 Based on eligible receivables at June 30, 2020, our borrowing base for the 2018 RSA was $273.8 million, while outstanding borrowings were $165.0 million. We additionally had $68.8 million in outstanding letters of credit (discussed below), leaving $40.0 million available under the 2018 RSA. Refer to Note 9 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for more information regarding the 2018 RSA.

3 Restricted cash and restricted investments are primarily held by our captive insurance companies for claims payments. "Cash and cash equivalents – restricted" consists of $39.6 million, included in "Cash and cash equivalents — restricted" in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and held by Mohave and Red Rock for claims payments. The remaining $1.4 million is included in "Other long-term assets" and is held in escrow accounts to meet statutory requirements.

Uses of Liquidity

Our business requires substantial amounts of cash for operating activities, including salaries and wages paid to our employees, contract payments to independent contractors, insurance and claims payments, tax payments, and others. We also use large amounts of cash and credit for the following activities:

Capital Expenditures — When justified by customer demand, as well as our liquidity and our ability to generate acceptable returns, we make substantial cash capital expenditures to maintain a modern company tractor fleet, refresh our trailer fleet, fund replacement of our revenue equipment fleet, and, to a lesser extent, fund upgrades to our terminals and technology in our logistics service offerings. We expect that net capital expenditures from the aforementioned projects will be in the range of $500.0 – $525.0 million for the full-year 2020. We believe we have ample flexibility with our trade cycle and purchase agreements to alter our current plans if economic or other conditions warrant.

Over the long-term, we will continue to have significant capital requirements, which may require us to seek additional borrowing, lease financing, or equity capital. The availability of financing or equity capital will depend upon our financial condition and results of operations as well as prevailing market conditions. If such additional borrowing, lease financing, or equity capital is not available at the time we need it, then we may need to borrow more under the Revolver (if not then fully drawn), extend the maturity of then-outstanding debt, rely on alternative financing arrangements, engage in asset sales, limit our fleet size, or operate our revenue equipment for longer periods.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional debt under our existing financial arrangements to satisfy our ongoing capital requirements. However, we believe the combination of our expected cash flows, financing available through operating and finance leases, available funds under the 2018 RSA, and availability under the Revolver will be sufficient to fund our expected capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED

Principal and Interest Payments — As of June 30, 2020, we had debt and finance lease obligations of $851.8 million, which are discussed under "Material Debt Agreements," below. Certain cash flows from operations are committed to minimum payments of principal and interest on our debt and lease obligations. Additionally, when our financial position allows, we periodically make voluntary prepayments on our outstanding debt balances.

Letters of Credit — Pursuant to the terms of the 2017 Debt Agreement and the 2018 RSA, our lenders may issue standby letters of credit on our behalf. When we have letters of credit outstanding, the availability under the Revolver or 2018 RSA is reduced accordingly. Standby letters of credit are typically issued for the benefit of regulatory authorities, insurance companies and state departments of insurance for the purpose of satisfying certain collateral requirements, primarily related to our automobile, workers' compensation, and general insurance liabilities.

Share Repurchases — From time to time, and depending on free cash flow availability, debt levels, common stock prices, general economic and market conditions, as well as Board approval, we may repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $199.0 million remaining under the 2019 Knight-Swift Share Repurchase Plan. Additional details are discussed in Note 12 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Working Capital

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had working capital deficits of $142.0 million and $103.0 million, respectively. The deficits were primarily due to the Term Loan maturing on October 2, 2020. We intend to refinance the Term Loan prior to its maturity.

Material Debt Agreements

As of June 30, 2020, we had $851.8 million in material debt obligations at the following carrying values:

•$364.9 million: Term Loan, due October 2020, net of $0.1 million in deferred loan costs

•$164.8 million: 2018 RSA outstanding borrowings, due July 2021, net of $0.2 million in deferred loan costs

•$87.1 million: Finance lease obligations

•$235.0 million: Revolver, due October 2022

As of December 31, 2019, we had $918.8 million in material debt obligations at the following carrying values:

•$364.8 million: Term Loan, due October 2020, net of $0.2 million in deferred loan costs

•$204.8 million: 2018 RSA outstanding borrowings, due July 2021, net of $0.2 million in deferred loan costs

•$70.2 million: Finance lease obligations

•$279.0 million: Revolver, due October 2022.

Cash Flow Analysis

			Year-to-Date June 30,																		Change
			2020						2019
			(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities			$	383,360					$	362,812					$	20,548
Net cash used in investing activities			(253,066)						(223,882)						(29,184)
Net cash used in financing activities			(173,771)						(162,022)						(11,749)

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $20.5 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a $68.8 million decrease in cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds, and various changes within our working capital. This was all partially offset by a $93.4 million cash settlement paid during the first quarter of 2020, associated with pre-2017 Merger legal matters that were previously accrued and disclosed by Swift.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — The $29.2 million increase in net cash used in investing activities was due to a $46.8 million increase in net cash used for acquisitions and was partially offset by a $24.7 million decrease in net capital expenditures.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Comparison Between Year-to-Date June 30, 2020 and 2019 — Net cash used in financing activities increased by $11.7 million, primarily due to a $59.0 million decrease in net repayments of our debt obligations. This was partially offset by a $52.3 million decrease in cash used to repurchase shares of our common stock.

Contractual Obligations

"Liquidity and Capital Resources," above, includes details regarding changes in our contractual obligations table during the year-to-date June 30, 2020 period. Aside from these items, there were no material changes to the contractual obligations table, which was included in our 2019 Annual Report.

Seasonality

Discussion regarding the impact of seasonality on our business is included in Note 1 in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, incorporated by reference herein.

Inflation

Inflation can have an impact on our operating costs. A prolonged period of inflation could cause interest rates, fuel, wages, and other costs to increase, which would adversely affect our results of operations unless freight rates correspondingly increased. Consistent with trends in the trucking industry overall, we continue to experience inflationary pressures with respect to driver wages, as compared to prior years.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated herein by reference, for the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, as follows:

•Note 2 for accounting pronouncements adopted during year-to-date June 30, 2020.

•Note 3 for accounting pronouncements issued during year-to-date June 30, 2020.

ITEM 3.			QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We have exposure from variable interest rates, primarily related to our 2017 Debt Agreement and 2018 RSA. These variable interest rates are impacted by changes in short-term interest rates. We primarily manage interest rate exposure through a mix of variable rate debt (weighted average rate of 1.1% as of June 30, 2020) and fixed rate equipment lease financing. Assuming the level of borrowings as of June 30, 2020, a hypothetical one percentage point increase in interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by $7.7 million.

Commodity Price Risk

We have commodity exposure with respect to fuel used in company-owned tractors. Increases in fuel prices would continue to raise our operating costs, even after applying fuel surcharge revenue. Historically, we have been able to recover a majority of fuel price increases from our customers in the form of fuel surcharges. The weekly average of diesel price per gallon in the US decreased to $2.44 for the second quarter of 2020 from an average of $3.12 in the second quarter of 2019. The weekly average diesel price per gallon in the US decreased to an average of $2.67 for year-to-date June 30, 2020 from an average of $3.07 for year-to-date June 30, 2019. We cannot predict the extent or speed of potential changes in fuel price levels in the future, the degree to which the lag effect of our fuel surcharge programs will impact us as a result of the timing and magnitude of such changes, or the extent to which effective fuel surcharges can be maintained and collected to offset such increases. We generally have not used derivative financial instruments to hedge our fuel price exposure in the past, but continue to evaluate this possibility. To mitigate the impact of rising fuel costs, we contract with some of our fuel suppliers to buy fuel at a fixed price or within banded pricing for a specified period, usually not exceeding twelve months. However, these purchase commitments only cover a small portion of our fuel consumption. Accordingly, fuel price fluctuations may still negatively impact us.

ITEM 4.			CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We base our internal control over financial reporting on the criteria set forth in the 2013 COSO Internal Control: Integrated Framework.

We have confidence in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Nevertheless, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors, misstatements, or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be

considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.			LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information about our legal proceedings is included in Note 11 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report for the period ended June 30, 2020, and is incorporated by reference herein. Based on management's present knowledge of the facts and (in certain cases) advice of outside counsel, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's overall financial position, operating results, or cash flows after taking into account any existing accruals. However, actual outcomes could be material to the Company's financial position, operating results, or cash flows for any particular period.

ITEM 1A.			RISK FACTORS

While we attempt to identify, manage, and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Our 2019 Annual Report and our Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, in the section entitled "Item 1A. Risk Factors," describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business.
