RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. GENERAL
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) and all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (subsidiaries) and variable interest entities (VIE) required to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has negatively impacted several areas of our businesses. In our Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment, we experienced lower demand for commercial rental and declines in the used vehicle market. With respect to our ChoiceLease product line, our customers have signed long-term lease contracts and, therefore, we do not expect our revenue and cash flows to be materially affected provided our customers remain solvent and continue to make their payments. In our Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business segment, there has been a deterioration in customer activity, primarily due to the temporary shutdowns in the automotive industry, which have restarted their operations during the second quarter of 2020. In addition, we have experienced a decline in our sales growth opportunities in all of our businesses. We have established additional bad debt reserves due to our expectations for COVID-19 related payment activity with certain customers as a result of increases in bankruptcies or insolvencies, or a delay in payments. We have attempted to mitigate the adverse impacts from the pandemic through cost reduction measures, including temporary employee furloughs, lower discretionary and overhead spending, and a reduction in capital expenditures. In addition, we took planned actions to reduce headcount, primarily in our North American and U.K. FMS operations.
Depending on the extent and duration of the pandemic and the related economic impacts, it may have a further impact on our business and financial results, as well as on significant judgments and estimates, including those related to goodwill and other asset impairments, residual values and other depreciation assumptions, deferred income taxes and annual effective tax rates, variable revenue considerations, the valuation of our pension plans, and allowance for credit losses.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This update provides optional expedients for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued at the end of 2021 because of reference rate reform. The update is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). This pronouncement enhances and simplifies various aspects of income tax accounting guidance. Among other things, the amendment removes the year-to-date loss limitations in interim-period tax accounting and requires entities to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws in the interim period that includes the enactment date of the new legislation. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We

adopted this update in the first quarter of 2020, under the modified retrospective basis and prospective transition approaches, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Cloud Computing Arrangements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Topic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which addresses a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement (CCA) that is a service contract. The new standard aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a CCA that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted the new standard prospectively on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The new standard modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable (excluding those related to operating leases) and net investments in sales-type leases. Among other things, these amendments require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The standard requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Periods prior to the adoption date that are presented for comparative purposes are not adjusted. We adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
3. REVENUE
For the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized non-lease revenue from maintenance services of $238 million and $236 million, respectively, included in lease & related maintenance and rental revenues. We recognized $478 million and $475 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which relates to payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Changes in contract liabilities are due to the collection of cash or the satisfaction of our performance obligation under the contract. Deferred revenue related to the maintenance services component of our ChoiceLease product line was $594 million and $587 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $103 million for the amounts recorded as deferred revenue at the beginning of the year. In addition, we deferred consideration of $117 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was received in advance of performance resulting in an increase in deferred revenue.
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized (“contracted not recognized revenue”). Contracted not recognized revenue includes deferred revenue and amounts for full service ChoiceLease maintenance revenue that will be recognized as revenue in future periods as we provide maintenance services to our customers. Contracted not recognized revenue excludes variable consideration as it is not included in the transaction price consideration allocated at contract inception, as well as revenues from our lease component of our ChoiceLease product and commercial rental product. Contracted not recognized revenue was $2.8 billion as of June 30, 2020. As a practical expedient, we do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less, and we do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations when we have the right to invoice the customer and the revenue recognized corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date, such as our SCS and DTS contracts.
Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract
We capitalize incremental sales commissions paid as a result of obtaining ChoiceLease, SCS and DTS service contracts as contract costs. Capitalized sales commissions were $94 million and $105 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Capitalized sales commissions include initial direct costs of our leases of $49 million and $55 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to incremental sales commissions paid to our sales force as a result of obtaining ChoiceLease contracts. Capitalized sales commissions are presented in “Sales-type leases and other assets” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For both the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, sales commission expense was $11 million. For both the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, sales commission expense was $22 million.

On January 1, 2020, we adopted the new accounting guidance related to the allowance for credit losses on our trade receivables and sales-type leases. As a result of the adoption, we increased our allowance for credit allowances and reduced retained earnings as of January 1, 2020, which was not material. We maintain an allowance for credit losses and an allowance for credit memos related to certain discounts and other customer concessions. Estimates are updated regularly based on our review of historical loss rates, as well as current and expected events of our business segments, current collection trends and billing adjustments processed. Accounts are charged against the allowance when determined to be uncollectible.
When a business relationship with a customer is initiated, we evaluate collectibility from the customer and it is continuously monitored as services are provided. We have a credit rating system based on internally developed standards and ratings provided by third parties. Our credit rating system, along with monitoring for delinquent payments, allows us to make decisions as to whether collectibility is probable at the on-set of the relationship and subsequently as we offer services. Factors considered during this process include historical payment trends, industry risks, liquidity of the customer, years in business, and judgments, liens or bankruptcies. Payment terms vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have extended payment terms for certain customers, which we have elected to not assess as a lease modification. We continue to actively monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on expected credit losses.

We periodically review and adjust, as appropriate, the estimated residual values and useful lives of existing revenue earning equipment for the purposes of recording depreciation expense. Our review of the estimated residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment is established with a long-term view, which we refer to as "policy depreciation," based on vehicle class, generally subcategories of trucks, tractors and trailers by weight and usage, as well as other factors. These other factors include, but are not limited to, historical market prices, current and expected future market prices, expected lives of vehicles, and expected sales of used vehicles in the wholesale and retail markets. Reductions in estimated residual values or useful lives will result in an increase in depreciation expense over the remaining life of the vehicle.
We also assess estimates of residual values of vehicles expected to be made available for sale in the near-term (generally 12 to 24 months) based on near-term market rates and conditions and may adjust residual values for these vehicles, which we refer to as “accelerated depreciation.”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on current and expected used vehicle market conditions, we performed a review of the estimated residual values of our FMS revenue earning equipment in the second quarter of 2020 for both accelerated and policy depreciation.
Accelerated Depreciation
In the first quarter of 2020, we revised our residual value estimates for vehicles that are expected to be sold in the near-term (through mid-2021) and recorded valuation adjustments on our vehicles held for sale due to the expected negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on pricing and volume of used vehicle sales. At that time, we expected lower used vehicle pricing in the second half of 2020 due to lower demand rather than our previous expectations of a modest increase. As a result, we recorded accelerated depreciation of $27 million and recognized losses of $21 million for used vehicle sales results in the first quarter. We recorded additional accelerated depreciation of $31 million in the second quarter of 2020 related to the first quarter change.
In the second quarter of 2020, we revised our residual value estimates further as we now expect a delayed recovery in the used vehicle market beyond our previous expectation of mid-2021. Due to the expected delayed recovery, we primarily extended accelerated depreciation by an additional year to now include vehicles expected to be sold through mid-2022. As a result of these changes in estimated residual values, we recorded additional accelerated depreciation of $31 million in the second quarter of 2020, which also included losses of $9 million for used vehicle sales results discussed further below.
Policy Depreciation
As a result of these factors related to COVID-19 and our lowered longer term outlook, we concluded that our residual value estimates likely exceeded the expected future values that would be realized upon the sale of vehicles in our fleet for vehicles expected to be sold after mid-2022. Therefore, we lowered our estimated residual values primarily for our truck fleet, and to a lesser extent, our tractor fleet, effective April 1, 2020. In evaluating our residual value estimates, we reviewed recent multi-year trends; management and third-party longer-term outlook for the used vehicle market, including impacts of COVID-19 and the demand and pricing of our used vehicles; expected sales volumes through our retail and wholesale channels; inventory levels; and other factors that management deemed necessary to appropriately reflect our expected long-term sales proceeds. Due to this change, we recorded additional policy depreciation of $18 million in the second quarter of 2020.
The first quarter and second quarter changes in our residual value estimates and resulting increase in depreciation expense and impact on used vehicle results in 2020 resulted in the following negative impacts on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations:

Used Vehicle Sales and Valuation Adjustments
Revenue earning equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses on vehicles held for sale for which carrying values exceeded fair value, which we refer to as "valuation adjustments," are recognized at the time they are deemed to meet the held for sale criteria and are presented within “Used vehicle sales, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, we stratify our fleet by vehicle type (trucks, tractors and trailers), weight class, age and other relevant characteristics and create classes of similar assets for analysis purposes. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, fair value was determined based upon recent market prices obtained from our own sales experience for sales of each class of similar assets and vehicle condition. In addition, we also consider expected declines in market prices when valuing the vehicles held for sale, as well as the forecasted sales channel (retail/wholesale). As a result of the changes in our residual value estimates described above for accelerated and policy depreciation, we recorded valuation adjustments on our vehicles held for sale for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as noted in the table below.

We assess goodwill for impairment on October 1st of each year or more often if deemed necessary. In the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim impairment test of our FMS North America reporting unit (“FMS NA”) as a result of the decline in market conditions and our updated outlook as a result of the impact of COVID-19. Our valuation of fair value for FMS NA was determined based on a discounted future cash flow model (income approach) and the application of current market multiples for comparable publicly-traded companies (market approach). Based on our analysis, we determined that FMS NA goodwill was not impaired as of March 31, 2020. The estimated fair value of the FMS NA reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 5% as of March 31, 2020.
Given this level of fair value, in the event the financial performance of FMS NA does not meet our expectations in the future; we experience future prolonged market downturns, including in the used vehicle market or continued declines in our stock price; worsening trends from the COVID-19 pandemic; or there are other negative revisions to key assumptions, we may be required to perform additional impairment analyses and could be required to recognize a non-cash goodwill impairment charge. As of June 30, 2020, FMS NA goodwill was $243 million. We determined that there was no interim impairment trigger event during the second quarter of 2020.

8. INCOME TAXES
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2020 was a benefit of 22.2% as compared to an expense of 26.8% in the second quarter of 2019 and a benefit of 12.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to an expense of 29.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2019. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the tax rate was impacted by the reduction in earnings due to additional depreciation charges and the COVID-19 economic effects. Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a valuation allowance in the first quarter of 2020 of $13 million on the net deferred tax assets of our U.K. operations on a discrete basis.

We maintain a $1.4 billion global revolving credit facility with a syndicate of twelve lending institutions, which matures in September 2023. The agreement provides for annual facility fees that range from 7.5 basis points to 20 basis points based on our long-term credit ratings. The annual facility fee is 15 basis points as of June 30, 2020, which applies to the total facility size of $1.4 billion. The credit facility is primarily used to finance working capital, but can also be used to issue up to $75 million in letters of credit (there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility at June 30, 2020). At our option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on LIBOR, prime, federal funds or local equivalent rates. The credit facility contains no provisions limiting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations; however, the credit facility does contain standard representations and warranties, events of default, cross-default provisions and certain affirmative and negative covenants. As of June 30, 2020, there was $1.2 billion available under the credit facility.
In order to maintain availability of funding, we must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated net worth of less than or equal to 300%. Net Worth, as defined in the credit facility, represents shareholders' equity excluding any accumulated other comprehensive income or loss associated with our pension and other postretirement plans. In the second quarter of 2020, Net Worth was amended to also (1) exclude currency translation adjustment as reported in our consolidated balance sheet; (2) add back the after-tax charge to shareholders' equity which resulted from our adoption of the new lease accounting standard as of December 31, 2018 (amortized quarterly to 50% of the charge over a 7 year period); and (3) add back any potential non-cash goodwill impairment charges, should they occur, up to a maximum amount. As of June 30, 2020, the ratio was 235%.
Our global revolving credit facility enables us to refinance short-term obligations on a long-term basis. Short-term commercial paper obligations are classified as long-term as we have both the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis. Starting in 2020, we have reflected all maturities within the next twelve months in the current portion of long-term debt even though we may refinance these obligations on a long-term basis and have the ability to do so under our revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2019, we classified $227 million of short-term commercial paper, $400 million of the current portion of long-term debt and $201 million of short-term debt as long-term debt as we had the intent and ability to refinance the current portion of these long-term debt on a long-term basis.
In February 2020, we increased the amount of maximum available proceeds from our trade receivables purchase and sale program from $225 million to $300 million. In April 2020, we extended the maturity of the trade receivables program to April 2021. As of June 30, 2020, the available proceeds under the program were $93 million.
We had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding of $483 million and $453 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.
The fair value of total debt (excluding capital lease and asset-backed U.S. obligations) was approximately $7.7 billion and $7.0 billion as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. For publicly-traded debt, estimates of fair value were based on market prices. For other debt, fair value was estimated based on a model-driven approach using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair value measurements of our publicly-traded debt and other debt were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for “Cash and cash equivalents,” “Receivables, net” and “Accounts payable” approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.
11. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
We maintain a share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans. In December 2019, our Board of Directors authorized management to have the ability to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of common stock, the sum of which will not exceed the number of shares issued to employees under our employee stock plans from December 1, 2019 to December 11, 2021. Share repurchases of common stock are made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. Management may establish prearranged written plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the program, which allow for share repurchases during our quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, we repurchased approximately 303,000 shares for $12 million and 345,000 shares for $21 million, respectively. In the second quarter of 2020, management decided to temporarily suspend the 2019 share repurchase program due to the impact of COVID-19.

(1)These amounts are included in the computation of net pension expense. See Note 15, "Employee Benefit Plans," for additional information.
The loss from currency translation adjustments in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the weakening of the British Pound and Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar. The gain from currency translation adjustments in the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the strengthening of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar offset by the weakening of the British Pound against the U.S. Dollar.

We generally grant awards under our various share-based compensation plans in the first quarter of each year in the annual management grant. The following table is a summary of the awards granted in the annual management grant in the first quarter of 2020:
Shares Granted | Weighted-Average Fair Market Value | ||||||||||
(Shares in thousands) | |||||||||||
Performance-based restricted stock rights | 292 | $ | 37.47 | ||||||||
Time-vested restricted stock rights | 557 | 38.45 | |||||||||
Total | 849 | $ | 38.11 |
Performance-based restricted stock awards (PBRSRs) include a performance-based vesting condition. PBRSRs are awarded based on various revenue, return-based and cash flow performance targets and a majority of PBRSRs include a total shareholder return (TSR) modifier. The fair values of the PBRSRs that include a TSR modifier are estimated using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation. The fair value of PBRSRs that do not include a TSR modifier is determined and fixed on the grant date based on our stock price on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense for PBRSRs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based upon the probability that the performance target will be met.
Restricted stock awards are unvested stock rights that are granted to employees and entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests. Time-vested restricted stock rights typically vest ratably over three years regardless of company performance. The fair value of the time-vested awards is determined and fixed based on our stock price on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Non-operating pension costs include the amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement benefit costs, as well as any significant charges for settlements or curtailments if recognized. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we contributed $17 million to our pension plans. In 2020, the expected total contributions to our pension plans are approximately $37 million. We also maintain other postretirement benefit plans that are not reflected in the table above.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, other items impacting comparability included:
•Restructuring and other, net — For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, this primarily included severance costs of $13 million for both periods and professional fees related to the pursuit of a commercial claim, as well as net losses in our ChoiceLease insurance liability program which was discontinued in January 2020. The exit of this program is estimated to be completed in the second quarter of 2021. The severance costs recorded in the second quarter related to planned actions to reduce headcount, primarily in our North American and U.K. FMS operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, this primarily included charges related to cost saving initiatives and the pursuit of a commercial claim. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, this also included income from our Singapore operations that were shut down during the second quarter of 2019.
•ERP implementation costs — Related to charges with the implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. In July 2020, we went live with the first module of our ERP system for human resources.
In addition, we recorded a gain on the sale of certain SCS properties during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The gain is reflected within "Miscellaneous Income" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
17. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS
We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings incident to the operation of our business including, but not limited to, those relating to commercial and employment claims, securities class actions, derivative claims, environmental matters, risk management matters (e.g., vehicle liability, workers’ compensation, etc.) and administrative assessments primarily associated with operating taxes. Other than as described below, we believe that all current proceedings are routine in nature and incidental to the conduct of our business and that the ultimate resolution of these claims, complaints and proceedings will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We will establish loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.

Securities Litigation Relating to Residual Value Estimates
On May 20, 2020, a putative class action on behalf of purchasers of our securities who purchased or otherwise acquired their securities between July 23, 2015 and February 13, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”), was commenced against us and certain of our current and former officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants misrepresented the Company’s depreciation policy and residual value estimates for its vehicles during the Class Period in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and seeks to recover, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and attorneys' fees and costs.
In addition, on June 26, 2020, a shareholder derivative complaint purportedly on behalf of the Company was filed in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, against us as nominal defendant and certain of our current and former officers and our current directors, relating to the allegations set forth in the securities class action complaint and alleging breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff, on our behalf, is seeking an award of monetary damages and restitution to us, improvements in our corporate governance and internal procedures, and legal fees.
We believe the claims asserted in the complaints are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously.

19. SEGMENT REPORTING
Ryder is a global leader in transportation and supply chain management solutions. Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. We report our financial performance based on three business segments: (1) FMS, which provides full service leasing and leasing with flexible maintenance options, commercial rental, and contract or transactional maintenance services of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) SCS, which provides integrated logistics solutions, including distribution, management, dedicated transportation and professional services in North America; and (3) DTS, which provides turnkey transportation solutions in the U.S. that includes dedicated vehicles, drivers and engineering, and administrative support. Dedicated transportation services provided as part of an operationally integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution to SCS customers are primarily reported in the SCS business segment.
Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as segment “Earnings from continuing operations before taxes” (EBT), includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes non-operating pension costs and certain other items as discussed in Note 16, "Other Items Impacting Comparability." CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including finance and procurement, corporate services, human resources, information technology, public affairs, legal, marketing and corporate communications. The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation. CSS costs attributable to the business segments are predominantly allocated to FMS, SCS and DTS as follows:
•Finance, corporate services, and health and safety — allocated based upon estimated and planned resource utilization;
•Human resources — allocated under various methods, including based on estimated utilization and number of personnel supported;
•Information technology — principally allocated based upon utilization-related metrics such as number of users or minutes of CPU time. Customer-related project costs and expenses are allocated to the business segment responsible for the project; and
•Other — represents legal and other centralized costs and expenses including certain share-based incentive compensation costs. Expenses, where allocated, are based primarily on the number of personnel supported.
Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment as well as provides rental vehicles, fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the SCS and DTS segments. EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to SCS and DTS customers (equipment contribution) are included in both FMS and the segment that served the customer and then eliminated upon consolidation (presented as “Eliminations”). Inter-segment EBT allocated to SCS and DTS includes earnings related to equipment used in providing services to SCS and DTS customers.
Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. We do not record right-of-use assets or liabilities for our intercompany operating leases between FMS and SCS and DTS business segments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included under Item 1. In addition, reference should be made to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
Ryder is a global leader in transportation and supply chain management solutions. Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. We report our financial performance based on three business segments: (1) Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides full service leasing and leasing with flexible maintenance options, commercial rental, and contract or transactional maintenance services of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides integrated logistics solutions, including distribution, management, dedicated transportation and professional services in North America; and (3) Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS), which provides turnkey transportation solutions in the U.S. that includes dedicated vehicles, drivers and engineering, and administrative support. Dedicated transportation services provided as part of an operationally integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution to SCS customers are primarily reported in the SCS business segment.
We operate in highly competitive markets. Our customers select us based on numerous factors including service quality, price, technology and service offerings. As an alternative to using our services, customers may choose to provide these services for themselves, or may choose to obtain similar or alternative services from other third-party vendors. Our customer base includes enterprises operating in a variety of industries including food and beverage service, transportation and logistics, automotive, retail and consumer goods, industrial, housing, technology, and business and personal services.
Our results of operations and financial condition are influenced by a number of factors including, but not limited to: used vehicle sales; macroeconomic and other market conditions, including pricing and demand; customer contracting activity and retention; rental demand; maintenance costs; residual value estimates and other depreciation changes; currency exchange rate fluctuations; customer preferences; inflation; fuel and energy prices; general economic conditions; insurance costs; interest rates; labor costs; unemployment; tax rates; changes in accounting or regulatory requirements; and cybersecurity attacks. Additionally, in 2020, our business has, and will continue, to be impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. For a detailed discussion of its impact on our results and future considerations, refer to our "Consolidated Results" and "Operating Results by Business Segment" discussions below. In addition, for a detailed description of certain risk factors that impact our business, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to “Item 1A-Risk Factors” and "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" sections included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
This MD&A includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this MD&A for information on the non-GAAP measures included in the MD&A, reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measure and the reasons why we believe each measure is useful to investors.

Total revenue decreased 16% and operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel, subcontracted transportation and ChoiceLease liability insurance revenues) decreased 10% in the second quarter of 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, total revenue decreased 8% and operating revenue decreased 5%. The decreases in both total revenue and operating revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the prior year periods were driven by revenue declines in all of our business segments, which included the impact of the economic slowdown from the COVID-19 pandemic primarily related to our commercial rental (FMS) and automotive (SCS) businesses.
EBT decreased to a loss of ($95) million and ($208) million in the second quarter of 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The decrease in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily due to $154 million of additional depreciation expense from changes in residual value estimates, which resulted in year-over-year earnings impact of $119 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was additional depreciation expense from changes in residual value estimates of $305 million, which resulted in year-over-year earnings of $247 million. In addition, there was negative estimated impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic of approximately $45 million and $70 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. These amounts are net of COVID-related temporary cost savings for the second quarter of approximately $35 million. For discussion on the higher depreciation expense related to the change in residual value estimates in 2020 and its impact on our FMS segment, refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates" discussion further below. For more information on the higher depreciation expense related to the change in residual value estimates in the third quarter of 2019, refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted several areas of our businesses. In our FMS business segment, we experienced lower demand for commercial rental and declines in the used vehicle market (refer to Note 5, "Revenue Earning Equipment" and “Critical Accounting Estimates" section below for additional information on residual value estimate changes and trends related to used vehicle sales). With respect to our ChoiceLease product line, our customers have signed long-term lease contracts and, therefore, we do not expect our revenue and cash flows to be materially affected provided our customers remain

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
solvent and continue to make their payments. In our SCS business segment, there has been a deterioration in customer activity, primarily due to the temporary shutdowns in the automotive industry, which have restarted their operations during the second quarter of 2020. In addition, we have experienced a decline in our sales growth opportunities in all of our businesses. We have established additional bad debt reserves due to our expectations for COVID-19 related payment activity with certain customers as a result of increases in bankruptcies or insolvencies, or a delay in payments. We have attempted to mitigate the adverse impacts from the pandemic through cost reduction measures, including temporary employee furloughs, lower discretionary and overhead spending, and a reduction in capital expenditures. In addition, we took planned actions to reduce headcount, primarily in our North American and U.K. FMS operations.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, provides for an acceleration of alternative minimum tax credit refunds, the deferral of certain employer payroll taxes, the availability of an employee retention credit, and expands the availability of net operating loss usage. In addition, other governments in state, local and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate have also enacted certain relief measures. We continue to monitor new and updated legislation; the provisions enacted have not had a material impact on our financial statements or liquidity position.
Depending on the extent and duration of the pandemic and the related economic impacts, it may have a further impact on our business and financial results, as well as on significant judgments and estimates, including those related to goodwill and other asset impairments, residual values and other depreciation assumptions, deferred income taxes and annual effective tax rates, variable revenue considerations, the valuation of our pension plans, and allowance for credit losses.

Lease & related maintenance and rental revenues represent revenues from our ChoiceLease and commercial rental product offerings within our FMS business segment. Revenues decreased 7% to $869 million in the second quarter of 2020 and 2% to $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 driven by lower commercial rental revenue and lower mileage based revenue due to the impacts of COVID-19, partially offset by ChoiceLease fleet growth and higher pricing. The negative estimated impact from COVID-19 related to lower commercial rental was approximately $65 million and $70 million for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
Cost of lease & related maintenance and rental represents the direct costs related to lease & related maintenance and rental revenues. These costs consist of depreciation of revenue earning equipment, maintenance costs (primarily repair parts and labor), and other costs such as licenses, insurance and operating taxes. Cost of lease & related maintenance and rental excludes interest costs from vehicle financing, which are reported within "Interest Expense" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Cost of lease & related maintenance and rental increased 13% in the second quarter of 2020 and 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to higher depreciation expense. Depreciation expense increased in the second quarter of 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 by $119 million and $247 million, respectively, related to changes in our vehicle residual value estimates for our lease and commercial rental fleet in our FMS business. This was partially offset by lower maintenance and other costs due to less activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2020 also reflected a prior year benefit from a significant maintenance cost recovery item. Refer to our FMS business segment operating results section below for further discussion on COVID-19 impacts and “Critical Accounting Estimates" discussion further below for additional information on the residual value estimates change in 2020.
Lease & related maintenance and rental gross margin decreased in the second quarter of 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 11% in both the second quarter of 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decreases in gross margin as a percentage of revenue and gross margin dollars were primarily due to higher depreciation as a result of changes in our vehicle residual value estimates and impacts from COVID-19, including lower commercial rental revenue and utilization and lower revenue based on mileage incurred by our customers, partially offset by lower maintenance costs due to less activity.

DTS. The six months ended June 30, 2020 also decreased due to lost business. SCS revenue decreased by an estimated $70 million related to reduced automotive activity in the second quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19. Refer to our SCS and DTS business segment operating results sections below for further discussion on COVID-19 impacts.
Cost of services represents the direct costs related to services revenue and is primarily comprised of salaries and employee-related costs, subcontracted transportation (purchased transportation from third parties), fuel, vehicle liability costs and maintenance costs. Cost of services decreased 19% in the second quarter and 10% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to lower activity related to COVID-19 in SCS and lost business in DTS.
Services gross margin decreased 18% in the second quarter of 2020 and 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue remained flat at 16% in the second quarter of 2020 and 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in gross margin dollars reflects COVID-19 impacts, including lower revenues in both SCS and DTS, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Fuel services revenue represents fuel services provided to our FMS customers. Fuel services revenue decreased 45% in the second quarter of 2020 and 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily reflecting lower fuel costs passed through to customers and lower gallons sold as a result of COVID-19.
Cost of fuel services includes the direct costs associated with providing our customers with fuel. These costs include fuel, salaries and employee-related costs of fuel island attendants and depreciation of our fueling facilities and equipment. Cost of fuel services decreased 47% in the second quarter of 2020 and 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of lower fuel costs and lower gallons sold.
Fuel services gross margin increased in the second quarter of 2020 and decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Fuel services gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 8% in the second quarter of 2020 and 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Fuel is largely a pass-through to customers for which we realize minimal changes in margin during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, fuel services margin is impacted by sudden increases or decreases in market fuel prices during a short period of time, as customer pricing for fuel is established based on trailing market fuel costs. Fuel services gross margin for the second quarter of 2020 and six months ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by these price change dynamics as fuel prices fluctuated during the period. In addition, fuel services gross margin for the second quarter of 2020 increased due to the timing of certain fuel inventory adjustments.

NM - Not meaningful
As part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, we define the primary measurement of our segment financial performance as segment “Earnings from continuing operations before taxes” (EBT), which includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS), and excludes non-operating pension costs and certain other items as discussed in Note 16, "Other Items Impacting Comparability," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including finance and procurement, corporate services, human resources, information technology, public affairs, legal, marketing, and corporate communications.
The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Certain costs are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for

investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation. See Note 19, "Segment Reporting," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the methodology for allocating the remainder of CSS costs to the business segments.
Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment, as well as provides rental vehicles, fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the SCS and DTS segments. EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to SCS and DTS customers (equipment contribution) are included in both FMS and the segment that served the customer and then eliminated upon consolidation (presented as “Eliminations”). Inter-segment EBT allocated to SCS and DTS includes earnings related to equipment used in providing services to SCS and DTS customers.

FMS total revenue decreased to $1.2 billion in the second quarter and $2.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to lower commercial rental revenue and lower fuel services revenue. FMS operating revenue decreased to $1.1 billion in the second quarter and $2.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily from declines in commercial rental driven by estimated impacts from COVID-19, partially offset by growth in ChoiceLease.
ChoiceLease revenue increased 1% in the second quarter and 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to a larger average fleet size and higher prices on new vehicles, partially offset by lower revenue based on mileage due to the impacts of COVID-19. SelectCare revenue decreased 8% in the second quarter and 4% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to lower volumes related to the impacts from COVID-19. Commercial rental revenue decreased 33% in the second quarter and 23% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to lower demand. The negative estimated impact from COVID-19 related to lower commercial rental was approximately $65 million and $70 million for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Fuel services revenue decreased 45% in the second quarter and 31% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily reflecting lower fuel costs passed through to customers and lower gallons sold as a result of impacts from COVID-19.

FMS EBT decreased to a loss of ($104) million in the second quarter of 2020 from earnings of $58 million in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, FMS EBT decreased to a loss of ($218) million from earnings of $119 million in the prior year period. The decrease in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily due to $154 million of additional depreciation expense from changes in residual value estimates, which resulted in year-over-year earnings impact of $119 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was additional depreciation expense from changes in residual value estimates of $305 million, which resulted in year-over-year earnings of $247 million. In addition, there was a negative estimated impact of COVID-19 on commercial rental performance of approximately $55 million in the second quarter. This was partially offset by COVID-19-related cost actions and lower medical expenses totaling $20 million for both periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we were also negatively impacted by approximately $15 million due to lower rental demand and higher bad debt reserves in the first quarter of 2020 related to COVID-19. Commercial rental performance was lower reflecting lower utilization for both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020. Rental power fleet utilization decreased to 55.9% for the second quarter and to 60.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 as noted in the table above. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, lease results increased, which benefited from fleet growth.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on current and expected used vehicle market conditions, including our expectation on a delayed recovery in the used vehicle market beyond our previous expectation of mid-2021, we performed a review of the estimated residual values of our FMS revenue earning equipment in the second quarter of 2020 for both accelerated and policy depreciation. The change in estimated residual values was effective April 1, 2020 and resulted in higher depreciation for the second quarter. As a result of the change in vehicle residual value estimates, we expect higher depreciation expense on our current fleet in the future, which would negatively impact FMS EBT, in particular for the remainder of 2020 and 2021. We expect the negative impact of these residual value estimate changes on FMS EBT to decline going forward through 2025. Refer to "Critical Accounting Estimates" below and Note 5, "Revenue Earning Equipment, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for commercial rental vehicles has decreased significantly due to a substantial reduction in business activity. We expect lower demand conditions to continue through the balance of the year and are taking actions to reduce the rental fleet size, and redeploy rental vehicles to fulfill new lease contracts and support the SCS and DTS segments. ChoiceLease operations have not been materially impacted to date by the pandemic, however we expect lower lease sales activity in the second half of 2020 as compared to the prior year.

(1)Non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of SCS total revenue to SCS operating revenue, as well as the reasons why management believes this measure is important to investors is included in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.
SCS total revenue and operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) decreased 20% and 16%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2020. SCS total revenue and operating revenue decreased 11% and 9%, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decreases were primarily due to lower activity in our automotive vertical due to production shutdowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic and lost business, partially offset by increased pricing. The lower activity in our automotive vertical had an estimated negative impact of approximately $70 million in the second quarter of 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, higher volumes in several verticals partially offset the automotive revenue decline.
SCS EBT decreased 19% in the second quarter and 13% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to estimated impacts of COVID-19 of approximately $25 million and $35 million, respectively, particularly in the automotive vertical, partially offset by estimated COVID-19 related cost actions and lower medical expenses of approximately $13 million in both periods. In addition, there was a decrease in equipment contribution of $5 million in the second quarter and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 (see further discussions on equipment contribution above), partially offset by higher pricing and improved operating performance. We expect equipment contribution to be negatively impacted in the future due to the changes in the vehicle residual

value estimates for the FMS revenue earning equipment that is utilized in the SCS business. However, we do not expect this impact to SCS EBT to be material.
SCS activity in the automotive vertical declined significantly due to production shutdowns beginning late in the first quarter related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the second quarter, our automotive customers have resumed production and we expect volumes to continue to recover through the remainder of 2020, however volumes may be impacted in the future based on customer production schedules and other economic impacts and recovery in the consumer market.

(1)Non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of DTS total revenue to DTS operating revenue, as well as the reasons why management believes this measure is important to investors is included in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.
DTS total revenue decreased 19% in the second quarter and 12% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to lower subcontracted transportation, fuel and operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation). DTS operating revenue decreased 8% in the second quarter and 4% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily reflecting lost business.
DTS EBT decreased 22% in second quarter and 25% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in equipment contribution of $7 million in the second quarter and $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 (see further discussions on equipment contribution above). We expect equipment contribution to be negatively impacted in the future due to the changes in the vehicle residual value estimates for the FMS revenue earning equipment that is utilized in the DTS business.

Cash provided by operating activities increased to $1.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with $1.0 billion in 2019, reflecting higher cash earnings along with lower working capital needs. Our working capital needs are primarily driven by the timing of collections of our receivables and payments of our trade payables, as well as other changes in operating assets and liabilities. The impact in receivables was primarily due to lower revenues as a result of COVID-19 partially offset by the extension of credit terms for certain customers. The impact from trade payables was due to timing of payments and lower spend. In addition, the favorable impact from changes in other assets and liabilities was driven by lower payments related to salaries and wages and a decrease in inventories in 2020. Cash used in investing activities decreased to $492 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with $2.0 billion in 2019, primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures as a result of lower ChoiceLease sales and rental activity. Cash provided by financing activities decreased to $155 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with $937 million in 2019 due to increased debt repayments.

Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this MD&A for the reasons why management believes these measures are important to investors.
Free cash flow increased to $612 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from a use of $909 million in 2019 primarily due to lower capital expenditures and higher cash flows from operations in 2020. We expect an increase of free cash flow through the remainder of 2020 as a result of lower capital expenditures based on lower ChoiceLease sales and rental activity related to COVID-19 and improved cash flows from operating activities.
Capital expenditures generally represent the purchase of revenue earning equipment (trucks, tractors and trailers) within our FMS segment. These expenditures primarily support the ChoiceLease and commercial rental product lines. The level of capital required to support the ChoiceLease product line varies based on customer contract signings for replacement vehicles and growth. These contracts are long-term agreements that result in predictable cash flows typically over three to seven years for trucks and tractors and ten years for trailers. We utilize capital for the purchase of vehicles in our commercial rental product line to replenish and expand the fleet available for shorter-term use by contractual or occasional customers. Operating property and equipment expenditures primarily relate to spending on items such as vehicle maintenance facilities and equipment, computer and telecommunications equipment, investments in technologies, and warehouse facilities and equipment.

Capital expenditures decreased 73% to $597 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflecting lower investments in the ChoiceLease and rental fleets as a result of reduced sales activity from related to COVID-19. In relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have cancelled or postponed vehicle orders, where possible, which will result in significantly reduced capital expenditures during 2020.

Financing and Other Funding Transactions
We utilize external capital primarily to support working capital needs and growth in our asset-based product lines. The variety of financing alternatives typically available to fund our capital needs include commercial paper, long-term and medium-term public and private debt, asset-backed securities, bank term loans, leasing arrangements and bank credit facilities. Our principal sources of financing are issuances of commercial paper and medium-term notes.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $831 million as of June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, approximately $70 million was held outside the U.S. and is available to fund operations and other growth of non-U.S. subsidiaries. If we decide to repatriate cash and cash equivalents held outside the U.S., we may be subject to additional income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. However, our intent is to permanently reinvest these foreign amounts outside the U.S. and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate these foreign amounts to fund our U.S. operations.
We believe that our operating cash flows, together with our access to the public unsecured bond market, commercial paper market and other available debt financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that volatility and disruption in the public unsecured debt market or the commercial paper market would not impair our ability to access these markets on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all. If we cease to have access to public bonds, commercial paper and other sources of unsecured borrowings, we would meet our liquidity needs by drawing upon contractually committed lending agreements and/or by seeking other funding sources. In the second quarter of 2020, we also amended our net worth covenant in our revolving credit facility and other debt instruments to enable more flexibility under the covenant. Refer to Note 10, “Debt,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our net worth covenant amendment and further discussion around the global revolving credit facility, the trade receivables program, the issuance of medium-term notes under our shelf registration statement, asset-backed financing obligations and debt maturities. As of July 27, 2020, we had a balance of cash and cash equivalents in the U.S. of approximately $700 million as well as $1.2 billion of availability under our global revolving credit facility and approximately $100 million of availability under our trade receivable facility.
Our ability to access unsecured debt in the capital markets is impacted by both our short-term and long-term debt ratings. These ratings are intended to provide guidance to investors in determining the credit risk associated with our particular securities based on current information obtained by the rating agencies from us or from other sources. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs, as well as reduced access to unsecured capital markets. A significant downgrade of our short-term debt ratings would impair our ability to issue commercial paper and likely require us to rely on alternative funding sources. A significant downgrade would not affect our ability to borrow amounts under our global revolving credit facility described below, assuming ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit facility.
Our debt ratings and rating outlooks at June 30, 2020 were as follows:

In accordance with our funding philosophy, we attempt to align the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our debt with the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our assets. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to achieve this alignment and generally target a mix of 20% - 40% variable-rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. The variable-rate portion of our total debt (including notional value of swap agreements) was 17% as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
Our debt to equity ratio was 377% and 320% as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The debt to equity ratio represents total debt divided by total equity. The increase is due to the reduction in equity related to higher non-cash depreciation expense from our estimated residual value changes and a higher debt balance. Debt to equity ratio as of June 30, 2020 also reflects a higher than normal cash balance which increased debt-to-equity by an estimated 35 percentage points.
Pension Information
The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of certain market interest rates. We review pension assumptions regularly and we may, from time to time, make voluntary contributions to our pension plans, which exceed the amounts required by statute. In 2020, the expected total contributions to our pension plans are approximately $37 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we contributed $17 million to our pension plans. Changes in interest rates and the market value of the securities held by the plans during 2020 could materially change, positively or negatively, the funded status of the plans and affect the level of pension expense and contributions in 2020 and beyond. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic downturn, we may experience an adverse impact on our pension plans if it were to continue through the end of the year. As a result, our contributions may need to increase in 2021 and these changes may negatively impact accumulated other comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity on our balance sheet when it is remeasured in December 2020. See Note 15, “Employee Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Share Repurchases and Cash Dividends
See Note 11, “Share Repurchase Programs,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of share repurchases. The share repurchase program has been put on hold temporarily due to the impact of COVID-19.
In May 2020, our Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.56 per share of common stock, which was paid in the subsequent month. In July 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.56 per share of common stock.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. Certain of these policies require the application of subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, changes in the business environment and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different estimates that could have been applied in the current period or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely can result in a material impact on our financial condition and operating results in the current and future periods.
The following discussion, which should be read in conjunction with the descriptions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K, is furnished for additional insight into certain accounting estimates that have been updated since our 2019 Annual Report. For further discussion on our Critical Accounting Estimates and related policies, refer to the "Critical Accounting Estimates" section of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K starting on page 48.
Depreciation and Residual Value Estimates. Depreciation on the vehicles in our fleet is determined at the time of acquisition and is recognized over a vehicle's useful life to its estimated residual value (i.e., the price at which we ultimately expect to dispose of vehicles) to attempt to minimize gains or losses upon sale in the used vehicle market.
We periodically review and adjust, as appropriate, the estimated residual values and useful lives of existing revenue earning equipment for the purposes of recording depreciation expense as described in Note 5, “Revenue Earning Equipment, Net," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our review of the estimated residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment is established with a long-term view, which we refer to as "policy depreciation," based on vehicle class, generally subcategories of trucks, tractors and trailers by weight and usage, as well as other factors. These other factors include, but are not limited to, historical market prices, current and expected future market prices, expected lives of vehicles, and expected sales of used vehicles in the wholesale and retail markets. Reductions in estimated residual values or useful lives will result in an increase in depreciation expense over the remaining life of the vehicle.
46
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
We also assess estimates of residual values of vehicles expected to be made available for sale in the near-term (generally 12 to 24 months) based on near-term market rates and conditions and may adjust residual values for these vehicles, which we refer to as “accelerated depreciation.”
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on current and expected used vehicle market conditions, we performed a review of the estimated residual values of our FMS revenue earning equipment in the second quarter of 2020 for both accelerated and policy depreciation.
Accelerated Depreciation
In the first quarter of 2020, we revised our residual value estimates for vehicles that are expected to be sold in the near-term (through mid-2021) and recorded valuation adjustments on our vehicles held for sale due to the expected negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on pricing and volume of used vehicle sales. At that time, we expected lower used vehicle pricing in the second half of 2020 due to lower demand rather than our previous expectations of a modest increase. As a result, we recorded accelerated depreciation of $27 million and recognized losses of $21 million for used vehicle sales results in the first quarter. We recorded additional accelerated depreciation of $31 million in the second quarter of 2020 related to the first quarter change.
In the second quarter of 2020, we revised our residual value estimates further as we now expect a delayed recovery in the used vehicle market beyond our previous expectation of mid-2021. Due to the expected delayed recovery, we primarily extended accelerated depreciation by an additional year to now include vehicles expected to be sold through mid-2022. Management believes its estimates are reasonable for the near-term market conditions. As a result of these changes in estimated residual values, which are now generally at or below historically low levels, we recorded additional accelerated depreciation of $31 million in the second quarter of 2020, which also includes losses of $9 million for used vehicle sales results.
As of June 30, 2020, our accelerated depreciation residual value levels for both tractors and trucks, which include the impacts of COVID-19, are currently below our average annual used vehicle pricing for each year in the last 20 years. These average annual used vehicle pricing levels are calculated based on used vehicle prices as a percentage of our original vehicle investment (cost).
Policy Depreciation
As a result of these factors related to COVID-19 and our lowered longer term outlook, we concluded that our residual value estimates likely exceeded the expected future values that would be realized upon the sale of vehicles in our fleet for vehicles expected to be sold after mid-2022. Therefore, we lowered our estimated residual values primarily for our truck fleet, and to a lesser extent, our tractor fleet, effective April 1, 2020. In evaluating our residual value estimates, we reviewed recent multi-year trends; management and third-party longer-term outlook for the used vehicle market, including impacts of COVID-19 and the demand and pricing of our used vehicles; expected sales volumes through our retail and wholesale channels; inventory levels; and other factors that management deemed necessary to appropriately reflect our expected long-term sales proceeds. Due to this change, we recorded additional policy depreciation of $18 million in the second quarter of 2020. The impact of the policy depreciation estimate change in 2020 as a percentage of our original vehicle investment was approximately 3% as of June 30, 2020.
Policy Depreciation Sensitivity
Based on our fleet of revenue earning equipment as of June 30, 2020, a hypothetical additional 10% reduction in estimated residual values used for policy depreciation would increase depreciation expense over the remaining life of these vehicles by approximately $280 million.
Based on management's estimates for policy depreciation purposes, over the next two years, we estimate that U.S. used vehicle pricing would need to improve from current levels and achieve an increase of at least approximately 30% for tractors and 10% for trucks in order to maintain current policy depreciation residual estimates. Management believes its estimates for such improved pricing levels are reasonable as they are similar to those seen in 2018 and 2019 for tractors and similar to levels seen at the beginning of 2020 for trucks. In addition, our average annual used vehicle pricing as a percentage of our original vehicle investment has been above these policy depreciation residual value levels for trucks 19 out of the last 20 years and for tractors 17 out of the last 20 years.
While we believe that the carrying values and estimated sales proceeds for revenue earning equipment are reasonable, there can be no assurance that deterioration in economic conditions or adverse changes to expectations of future sales proceeds will not occur, resulting in losses on sales or revisions to residual value estimates. While management believes that current estimates are
47
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
reasonable given our current outlook, if our used vehicle sales pricing as a percentage of our original vehicle investment does not improve, we will likely be required to lower residual value estimates even further which may have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from estimates include, but are not limited to, changes in supply and demand; changes in technology; competitor pricing; regulatory requirements; driver shortages, requirements and preferences; and changes in underlying assumption factors. As a result, future residual value estimates and resulting depreciation expense are subject to change based upon changes in these factors.

(1) Accelerated depreciation included used vehicles sales, net (primarily valuation adjustments) of $23 million, $10 million and $21 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Refer to Note 5, "Revenue Earning Equipment," in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on used vehicle sales.
(2) Accelerated depreciation included used vehicles sales, net (primarily valuation adjustments) of $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
(3) Incremental depreciation expense was $35 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 including impacts from accelerated and policy depreciation and losses for used vehicle sales, net.
Goodwill Impairment. We assess goodwill for impairment on October 1st of each year or more often if deemed necessary. In the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim impairment test of our FMS North America reporting unit (“FMS NA”) as a result of the decline in market conditions and our updated outlook as a result of the impact of COVID-19. Our valuation of fair value for FMS NA was determined based on a discounted future cash flow model (income approach) and the application of current market multiples for comparable publicly-traded companies (market approach). Based on our analysis, we determined that FMS NA goodwill was not impaired as of March 31, 2020, however the fair value was not substantially in excess of its carrying value. The estimated fair value of the FMS NA reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 5% as of March 31, 2020.
Given this level of fair value, in the event the financial performance of FMS NA does not meet our expectations in the future; we experience future prolonged market downturns, including in the used vehicle market or continued declines in our stock price; negative trends from the COVID-19 pandemic continue; or there are other negative revisions to key assumptions, we may be required to perform additional impairment analyses and could be required to recognize a non-cash goodwill impairment charge. As of March 31, 2020, we assessed that it was not more likely than not that our SCS and DTS reporting units fair value was less than its carrying value. During the second quarter of 2020, we did not identify an interim impairment trigger event. As of June 30, 2020, there was $243 million of goodwill recorded related to FMS NA.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes information extracted from condensed consolidated financial information but not required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be presented in the financial statements. Certain elements of this information are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by SEC rules. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. Also, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to financial measures used by other companies. We provide a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure in this non-GAAP financial measures section or in our results and liquidity discussions above. We also provide the reasons why management believes each non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in this section.
Specifically, we refer to the following non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q:

Operating Revenue Measures: | |||||||||||
Operating Revenue FMS Operating Revenue SCS Operating Revenue DTS Operating Revenue FMS EBT as a % of FMS Operating Revenue SCS EBT as a % of SCS Operating Revenue DTS EBT as a % of DTS Operating Revenue | Operating revenue is defined as total revenue for Ryder System, Inc. or each business segment (FMS, SCS and DTS) excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation, as well as (3) revenue from our ChoiceLease liability insurance program which was discontinued in early 2020. We believe operating revenue provides useful information to investors as we use it to evaluate the operating performance of our core businesses and as a measure of sales activity at the consolidated level for Ryder System, Inc., as well as for each of our business segments. We also use segment EBT as a percentage of segment operating revenue for each business segment for the same reason. Note: FMS EBT, SCS EBT and DTS EBT, our primary measures of segment performance, are not non-GAAP measures. Fuel: We exclude FMS, SCS and DTS fuel from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as fuel is an ancillary service that we provide our customers, which is impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices and the costs are largely a pass-through to our customers, resulting in minimal changes in our profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time, as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on trailing market fuel costs. Subcontracted transportation: We exclude subcontracted transportation from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as these services are also typically a pass-through to our customers and, therefore, fluctuations result in minimal changes to our profitability. While our SCS and DTS business segments subcontract certain transportation services to third party providers, our FMS business segment does not engage in subcontracted transportation and, therefore, this item is not applicable to FMS. ChoiceLease liability insurance: We exclude ChoiceLease liability insurance as we announced our plan in the first quarter of 2020 to exit the extension of our liability insurance coverage for ChoiceLease customers. The exit of this program is estimated to be completed in the second quarter of 2021. We are excluding the revenues associated with this program for better comparability of our on-going operations. | ||||||||||
Comparable Earnings Measures: | |||||||||||
Comparable earnings (loss) before income taxes (EBT) Comparable earnings (loss) Comparable earnings (loss) per diluted common share (EPS) Comparable tax rate | Comparable EBT, comparable earnings, comparable EPS are defined, respectively, as GAAP EBT, earnings, EPS, all from continuing operations, excluding (1) non-operating pension costs and (2) any other significant items that are not representative of our business operations. We believe these comparable earnings measures provide useful information to investors and allow for better year-over-year comparison of operating performance. Non-Operating Pension Costs: Our comparable earnings measures exclude non-operating pension costs, which include the amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement benefit costs, as well as a settlement or curtailment of a plan. We exclude non-operating pension costs because we consider these to be impacted by financial market performance and outside the operational performance of our business. Other Items Impacting Comparability: Our comparable and adjusted earnings measures also exclude other significant items that are not representative of our business operations as detailed in the reconciliation table below. These other significant items vary from period to period and, in some periods, there may be no such significant items. Calculation of comparable tax rate: The comparable provision for income taxes is computed using the same methodology as the GAAP provision for income taxes. Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated based on the statutory tax rates of the jurisdictions to which the non-GAAP adjustments relate. |

Cash Flow Measures: | |||||||||||
Total Cash Generated Free Cash Flow | We consider total cash generated and free cash flow to be important measures of comparative operating performance, as our principal sources of operating liquidity are cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment. Total Cash Generated: Total cash generated is defined as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment, (3) net cash provided by the sale of operating property and equipment and (4) other cash inflows from investing activities. We believe total cash generated is an important measure of total cash flows generated from our ongoing business activities. Free Cash Flow: We refer to the net amount of cash generated from operating activities and investing activities (excluding acquisitions) from continuing operations as “free cash flow.” We calculate free cash flow as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, (3) other cash inflows from investing activities, less (4) purchases of property and revenue earning equipment. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and for shareholders, after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. Our calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. * See Total Cash Generated and Free Cash Flow reconciliations in the Financial Resources and Liquidity section of Management's Discussion and Analysis. |

These statements, as well as other forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, are based on our current plans and expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We caution readers that certain important factors could cause actual results and events to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
•Market Conditions:
•The severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the governmental responses thereto.
•Changes in general economic and financial conditions in the U.S. and worldwide leading to decreased demand for our products and services, lower profit margins, increased levels of bad debt and reduced access to credit and financial markets.
•Decreases in freight demand which would impact both our transactional and variable-based contractual business.
•Changes in our customers’ operations, financial condition or business environment that may limit their demand for, or ability to purchase, our products and services.
•Decreases in market demand affecting the commercial rental market and used vehicle sales as well as global economic conditions.
•Volatility in customer volumes and shifting customer demand in the industries serviced by our SCS business.
•Changes in current financial, tax or regulatory requirements that could negatively impact our financial results.
•Competition:
•Advances in technology may impact demand for our services or may require increased investments to remain competitive, and our customers may not be willing to accept higher prices to cover the cost of these investments.
•Competition from other service providers, some of which have greater capital resources or lower capital costs, or from our customers, who may choose to provide services themselves.
•Continued consolidation in the markets in which we operate which may create large competitors with greater financial resources.
•Our inability to maintain current pricing levels due to economic conditions, demand for services, customer acceptance or competition.
•Profitability:
•Our inability to obtain adequate profit margins for our services.
•Lower than expected sales volumes or customer retention levels.
•Decreases in commercial rental fleet utilization and pricing.
•Lower than expected used vehicle sales pricing levels and fluctuations in the anticipated proportion of retail versus wholesale sales.
•Loss of key customers in our SCS and DTS business segments.
•Our inability to adapt our product offerings to meet changing consumer preferences on a cost-effective basis.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
For a description of our material pending legal proceedings, please see Item 1, Note 17, "Contingencies and Other Matters," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020, includes a discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in our Form 10-K. Our operations could also be affected by additional risk factors that are not presently known to us or by factors that we currently consider immaterial to our business. To our knowledge and except, as presented below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors described in our Form 10-K.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted, and is expected to continue to adversely impact, our business, results of operations and financial condition, and the ultimate impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Our business is highly susceptible to changes in economic conditions and our products and services are directly tied to the production and sale of goods and, more generally, to the North American economy. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken in response to its spread have severely impacted economic and commercial activity, and, as a result, transportation and supply chain companies such as ours have experienced slowdowns and reduced demand.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that are difficult to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic and the potential for additional outbreaks; how quickly and to what extent normal economic activity can resume; the timing of the development and distribution of an effective vaccine or treatments for COVID-19; governments, businesses and individuals’ actions in response to the pandemic; the prolonged effect on customer demand for our goods and services and the customer’s ability to pay for these goods and services.
In our Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) segment, we have seen deterioration in customer activity starting in April primarily due to production shutdowns in the automotive industry, which represents a significant portion of our SCS revenue. Our automotive customers that have been shut down restarted production in May and ended the second quarter at pre-COVID activity levels. However, any negative impact or disruption on customer operations, including production at lower volumes or additional slowdowns or shutdowns, may have a material negative impact on our SCS revenues and earnings.
We continue to experience varying impacts with our SCS customers in non-automotive industries as well as with our Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) customers, with some customers and industries such as off price/discount and clothing retailers experiencing lower volumes and others like consumer-packaged goods experiencing volume increases. However, due to the expected reduction in economic activity and softer freight environment, we expect to have net lower volumes for SCS/DTS customers at least through the end of 2020. Lower volumes and revenues in our non-automotive SCS industries and in DTS have a lesser impact on our earnings as our fees are less variable.
In our Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) segment, we have experienced a further weakening of market conditions in used vehicle sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on current conditions and outlook for a delayed recovery, we now expect that pricing for our used vehicles will continue to be adversely impacted in the foreseeable future beyond our previous expectation of mid-2021. These weakening market conditions and our current market outlook for used vehicle pricing triggered a re-evaluation of our residual value estimates for our FMS revenue earning equipment in the second quarter of 2020. In evaluating the residual value estimates of our vehicles over their useful life, we take into account, among other significant factors as described above in our Critical Accounting Estimates, our multi-year average historical prices as well as our outlook for used vehicle pricing. At this time, our used vehicle pricing outlook remains at or below our multi-year historical averages. As a result, we lowered the residual value estimates and increased depreciation expense for our current fleet of vehicles that will be sold in the long term (after mid-2022), which resulted in additional depreciation expense of approximately $260 million over the remaining life of the vehicles (which we refer to as "policy depreciation").
58
We also review residual value estimates for those vehicles that will be sold in the near term (which we refer to as "accelerated depreciation"). Given current market dynamics and our outlook for a delayed recovery, we lowered residual value estimates for vehicles to be sold through mid-2022 and increased accelerated depreciation for those vehicles by $80 million through 2021. Furthermore, we lowered the value of certain vehicles held for sale in our current inventory to wholesale pricing levels in order to address elevated used vehicle inventories.
We will continue to regularly review and update our outlook for the used vehicle market, as appropriate, and, if our outlook remains below our multi-year pricing averages or does not improve to levels in our outlook, we may be required to further decrease residual value estimates to better align with current market conditions and our outlook. In addition, if weak market conditions continue for a prolonged period or further deteriorate, we may also need to sell additional vehicles at wholesale prices which would require us to take additional valuation adjustments. Any residual value estimate changes and valuation adjustments made in future periods would be incremental to any prior residual value estimate changes previously taken for vehicles in the fleet. If we determine to decrease residual value estimates or record valuation adjustments, these changes could have a material adverse impact on our financial results and liquidity.
In addition, as a result of government actions taken, such as shutdowns of large gatherings, mandated social distancing orders, as well as the significant reduction in business activity across the United States, demand for our commercial rental vehicles and rental utilization rates have decreased significantly and have negatively impacted our earnings. If demand further deteriorates or does not seasonally increase as it has in prior years, we may not be able to attain our utilization targets. As a result, we may be required to further downsize our fleet and decrease our pricing. However, we may not be able to redeploy rental vehicles with lease customers due to lack of demand for such vehicles. Each of these occurrences could result in lower revenues and further adverse impacts on our financial results.
With respect to our ChoiceLease product line, our customers have signed long-term lease contracts and, therefore, we do not expect our revenue and cash flows to be materially affected provided our customers remain solvent and continue to make their payments on their contractual obligations. We have experienced decreases in new ChoiceLease sales as well as a decrease in miles driven by our customers. Any prolonged decrease in sales activity and miles driven could adversely affect our growth prospects.
The financial condition of our customers, primarily in FMS, are being adversely impacted and have resulted and may continue to result in an increase in bankruptcies or insolvencies, or a delay in payments, which may, in turn, impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have established additional bad debt reserves due to our expectations for COVID-19 related payment activity with certain customers and may need to increase our bad debt reserves if economic conditions worsen for our customers.
Further, in the event of a prolonged economic downturn which has a material negative impact on our earnings and free cash flow, we may not be able to comply with our financial covenant in our global revolving credit facility which, in the absence of a bank waiver, would negatively impact our ability to borrow under that facility and negatively impact our liquidity position.
We periodically evaluate factors, including, but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, changes in our industry and the markets in which we operate and our market capitalization, as well as our reporting units’ expected future financial performance for purposes of evaluating asset impairments, including goodwill. We believe that the impact of COVID-19 will negatively affect certain key assumptions used in our analysis; however, we will need to assess the severity and nature of the long-term impacts to determine if we may be required to record charges for asset impairments in the future. While we undertook an interim goodwill impairment test related to our FMS NA reporting unit as of March 31, 2020 and concluded that no impairment was necessary, we may determine that impairment is necessary in future periods. We determined that there was no interim impairment trigger event during the second quarter of 2020. At this time, it remains uncertain whether and to what extent we may need to record charges for impairments in the future as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
In addition to the operational impacts described above, the COVID-19 pandemic may present or heighten other operational risks to our business. Remote working arrangements may decrease employee productivity, increase cybersecurity risks and the strain on our technology systems and adversely affect our internal controls over financial reporting. Further, our business may be adversely affected if key personnel become ill from COVID-19 and are unable to work.
In addition, due to the increase in claims as a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, insurance companies may limit or stop offering coverage to companies like ours or increase the cost of such insurance so that it is no longer available at
59
commercially reasonable rates. This trend could adversely affect our ability to obtain suitable insurance coverage or increase the cost for such coverage significantly, each of which may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.
To the extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak adversely affects our business, results of operations and financial condition, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the section entitled Risk Factors of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

(1)During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we purchased an aggregate of 12,466 shares of our common stock in employee-related transactions. Employee-related transactions may include: (i) shares of common stock withheld as payment for the exercise price of options exercised or to satisfy the employees' tax withholding liability associated with our share-based compensation programs and (ii) open-market purchases by the trustee of Ryder’s deferred compensation plans relating to investments by employees in our stock, one of the investment options available under the plans.
(2)In December 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans. Under the December 2019 program, management is authorized to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of common stock issued to employees under our employee stock plans from December 1, 2019 to December 11, 2021. Share repurchases are made periodically in open-market transactions using the Company's working capital, and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. In addition, management has been granted the authority to establish prearranged written trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the repurchase program. The share repurchase program has been put on hold temporarily due to the impact of COVID-19.
