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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2020 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 our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including 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 not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year. We adjusted our presentation of the revolving credit facility proceeds and repayments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for 2020 from a net basis to reflect a gross basis.
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 maintenance services of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the United States (U.S.), Canada and the United Kingdom (U.K.); (2) Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides integrated logistics solutions, including distribution management, dedicated transportation, transportation management, last mile 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, management, 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.
The COVID-19 effects negatively impacted several areas of our businesses, particularly in the first half of 2020. While we are experiencing positive momentum in our businesses, any additional negative effects of the pandemic 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.

This update provides optional expedients for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another rate expected to be discontinued at the end of 2021 because of reference rate reform. The update is effective for all transactions between March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We continuously evaluate the impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Leases
In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05, Lessor - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments (Topic 842). This update requires lessors to classify leases as operating leases if they have variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate and would have selling losses if they were classified as sales-type or direct financing leases. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are permitted to apply this amendment using the retrospective or prospective approach. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Contracted Not Recognized Revenue
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized (“contracted not recognized revenue”). Contracted not recognized revenue primarily 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 (1) variable consideration as it is not included in the transaction price consideration allocated at contract inception, (2) revenues from our lease component of our ChoiceLease product and commercial rental product, (3) revenues from contracts with an original duration of one year or less, including SelectCare contracts, and (4) revenue from SCS, DTS and other contracts where there are remaining performance obligations when we have the right to invoice but the revenue to be recognized in the future corresponds directly with the value delivered to the customer. Contracted not recognized revenue was $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2021.

Policy and Accelerated Depreciation
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. A reduction in estimated residual values or useful lives will result in an increase in depreciation expense over the remaining life of the vehicle. 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." Our policy depreciation is based on a variety of factors, including vehicle class, generally subcategories of trucks, tractors and trailers, by weight, usage and other factors; historical, current, and internal and third-party expected future market prices; expected lives of vehicles; and expected sales of used vehicles in the wholesale and retail markets. Factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from estimates, include changes in technology; changes in supply and demand; competitor pricing; regulatory requirements; driver shortages, requirements and preferences; and changes in underlying assumption factors. We have disciplines related to the management and maintenance of our vehicles designed to manage the risk associated with the residual values of our revenue earning equipment.

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 estimates of residual values for these vehicles, which we refer to as "accelerated depreciation."
During the second quarter of 2021, we completed a review of the residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment. Based on the results of our analysis, we primarily adjusted our residual value estimates for certain tractors and useful lives of certain classes of our revenue earning equipment, which impacted approximately 15% of our total fleet. The increase in depreciation expense in the second quarter of 2021 was not material to our results of operations.
The following table provides a summary of amounts that have been recorded for accelerated and policy depreciation related to our residual value and useful life estimate changes since 2019, as well as used vehicle sales results (rounded to the closest million):

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 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 mix (retail/wholesale).
The following table presents our assets held for sale that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and considered a Level 3 fair value measurement:

7. INCOME TAXES
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2021 was an expense of 26.5% as compared to a benefit of 22.2% in the second quarter of 2020 and an expense of 26.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to a benefit of 12.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the tax rate was impacted by a reduction in earnings due to accelerated depreciation charges and additional negative economic impacts caused by the COVID-19 effects. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the tax rate was also impacted by the recognition of a valuation allowance of $13 million related to our U.K. deferred tax assets and a charge of $7 million related to expiring state net operating losses.

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.
As of June 30, 2021, there was $1.3 billion available under the global 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%. As of June 30, 2021, the ratio was 177%. We had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding of $458 million and $519 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.
In April 2021, we extended the maturity of the trade receivables program to April 2022. As of June 30, 2021, the available proceeds under the program were $300 million. In August 2021, we will early redeem a $300 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 3.450% Medium Term Notes due November 15, 2021. The impact of this redemption is not expected to be material to our results of operations.
10. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
In December 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans (the 2019 program). Under the 2019 program, we are authorized 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. We 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.

| Share-based compensation expense, net of tax | $ | 10,636 | $ | 6,232 | $ | 19,781 | $ | 9,145 | |||||||||||||||
Total unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to all share-based compensation arrangements at June 30, 2021 was $64 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.
We generally grant share-based awards in the first quarter of each year during our annual equity award process. The following table is a summary of the awards granted in the annual equity award process in the first quarter of 2021:
| Shares Granted | Weighted-Average Fair Market Value | ||||||||||
| (Shares in thousands) | |||||||||||
| Time-vested restricted stock rights | 391 | $ | 64.89 | ||||||||
| Performance-based restricted stock rights | 119 | 67.11 | |||||||||
| Total | 510 | $ | 65.41 | ||||||||
Restricted stock awards are unvested stock rights granted to employees that 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 Ryder’s stock price on the date of grant.
Performance-based restricted stock rights (PBRSRs) are generally granted to executive management and include a performance-based vesting condition. PBRSRs are awarded based on various revenue, return-based and cash flow performance targets and may include a total shareholder return (TSR) modifier for certain members of management. The fair values of 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. PBRSRs awarded in the first quarter of 2021 contained vesting conditions based on return on equity, strategic revenue growth and free cash flow.

(unaudited)
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, other items impacting comparability included:
•Restructuring and other, net — For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, this item primarily included professional fees related to the pursuit of a discrete commercial claim. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, this item primarily included expenses of $9 million and $24 million, respectively, related to our ChoiceLease liability insurance program which was discontinued in January 2020 and exited in the first quarter of 2021. The prior year, also included severance costs of $13 million for planned actions to reduce headcount primarily in our North American and U.K. FMS operations.
•ERP implementation costs — This item includes costs associated 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 April 2021, we went live with the financial module to replace existing core financial systems.
•Gains of sale of properties - We recorded gains on sale of property during the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily for certain FMS properties in the U.K. that were restructured as part of cost reduction activities in prior periods. The gain is reflected within "Miscellaneous (income) loss, net" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
16. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS
We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our continuing business operations including those relating to commercial and employment claims, environmental matters, risk management matters (e.g., vehicle liability, workers’ compensation, etc.) and administrative assessments primarily associated with operating taxes. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. We believe that the resolution of these claims, complaints and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 (Class Period), was commenced against Ryder and certain of our current and former officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, captioned Key West Policy & Fire Pension Fund v. Ryder System, Inc., et al. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants misrepresented Ryder’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. On August 3, 2020, the State of Alaska, Alaska Permanent Fund, the City of Fort Lauderdale General Employees’ Retirement System, and the City of Plantation Police Officers Pension Fund were appointed lead plaintiffs. On October 5, 2020, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On December 4, 2020, Ryder and the other named defendants in the case filed a Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint. On April 7, 2021, the court held a hearing on defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, and reserved decision.
On June 26, 2020, August 6, 2020, and February 2, 2021, three shareholder derivative complaints purportedly on behalf of Ryder were 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. The complaints allege breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. The complaints are based on the allegation set forth in the securities class action complaint. The plaintiffs, on our behalf, are seeking an award of monetary damages and restitution to us, improvements in our corporate governance and internal procedures, and legal fees. These derivative cases have all been consolidated and stayed (stopped) until the Motion to Dismiss in the securities class action described above is resolved.
Also, on January 19, 2021 (as amended on March 26, 2021), and February 8, 2021, two shareholder derivative complaints purportedly on behalf of Ryder were filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against us as nominal defendant and certain of our current and former officers and directors. The complaints allege breach of fiduciary duties, unjust

enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. Both complaints are based on the allegation set forth in the securities class action complaint, seek similar relief on our behalf to that sought in the derivative complaints that were filed in Florida state court, and have been stayed (stopped) until the Motion to Dismiss in the securities class action is resolved.
We believe the claims asserted in the complaints are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously.

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, as well as our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and related MD&A included in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
Ryder is a leading logistics and transportation company. 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 maintenance services of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the United States (U.S.), Canada and the United Kingdom (U.K.); (2) Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides integrated logistics solutions, including distribution management, dedicated transportation, transportation management, last mile 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, management, 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, retail and consumer goods, automotive, industrial, housing, technology, and business and personal services.
Our results of operations and financial condition are influenced by a number of factors including: 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 levels; tax rates; changes in accounting or regulatory requirements; and cybersecurity attacks.
Our business has, and may continue to be, impacted by the COVID-19 effects. 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 effects, refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” section in our 2020 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, including reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measure and the reasons why we believe each measure is useful to investors. In addition, this MD&A may include certain forward-looking statements regarding our outlook. These statements 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. Refer to the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Total revenue increased 26% and 13% in the second quarter of 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel, subcontracted transportation and ChoiceLease liability insurance revenues) increased 18% and 10% in the second quarter of 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The increases in total and operating revenue for both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021 were primarily due to higher revenue across all of our business segments as the prior year was negatively impacted by the economic slowdown from the COVID-19 effects particularly in our commercial rental (FMS) and automotive (SCS) businesses. Total revenue in both periods also increased from higher subcontracted transportation and fuel revenue.
EBT increased to earnings of $204 million in the second quarter of 2021, as compared to a loss of $95 million in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, EBT increased to earnings of $274 million, as compared to a loss of $208 million in the prior year period. These increases were primarily due to a declining impact of depreciation expense from prior residual value estimate changes and higher gains on used vehicles sold in 2021, totaling $131 million and $223 million for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. EBT also increased from higher rental performance, improved ChoiceLease results and the prior year impact from the COVID-19 effects.
The COVID-19 effects negatively impacted several areas of our businesses, particularly in the first half of 2020. In our FMS business segment, we experienced lower demand for commercial rental and declines in the used vehicle market through the second quarter of 2020. In our SCS business segment, we experienced temporary shutdowns in the automotive industry, which restarted their operations during the second quarter of 2020. This was followed by increased consumer demand in the second half of 2020, particularly in the fourth quarter, which helped contribute to a worldwide semiconductor supply shortage in early 2021, as semiconductor suppliers were unable to rapidly reallocate production to respond to demand across multiple industries, particularly the automotive industry. The semiconductor shortage impacted the production activity of our automotive SCS customers in the first half of 2021 and is causing delayed deliveries of new vehicles in our FMS business.

While we are experiencing positive momentum in our businesses, any additional negative effects of the pandemic 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.
Cash provided by operating activities remained at $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as higher net earnings were offset by higher working capital needs. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) decreased slightly to $602 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to higher cash paid for capital expenditures, partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment. Gross capital expenditures increased for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily reflecting higher planned investments in the rental fleet.
Our debt to equity ratio was 258% and 293% as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, our debt balance decreased 6% from the prior year-end to $6.2 billion.
Adjusted return on equity (ROE) was 12.2% and (9.8)% as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our interim target is 11% and long-term target over the cycle is 15%. The increase in ROE is primarily due to a declining impact of depreciation expense from the residual value estimate changes and higher used vehicle sales results, as well as commercial rental business recovery and higher lease pricing.

Lease & related maintenance and rental revenues represent revenues from our ChoiceLease and commercial rental product offerings within our FMS business segment. Revenues increased 14% in the second quarter of 2021 and 7% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 driven by increases in commercial rental and ChoiceLease revenue. Commercial rental revenues were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 effects in the prior year.
Cost of lease & related maintenance and rental represents the direct costs related to lease & related maintenance and rental revenues and are comprised 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 decreased 9% in the second quarter of 2021 and 10% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to declining depreciation expense impacts from prior residual value estimate changes. Both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020 benefited from lower maintenance and other costs due to less activity as a result of the COVID-19 effects.
Lease & related maintenance and rental gross margin increased in the second quarter of 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to a declining impact of depreciation expense from prior residual value estimate changes, higher commercial rental pricing and utilization, and higher ChoiceLease pricing and mileage revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 28% in the second quarter of 2021 and increased to 25% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the lower depreciation impact, higher commercial rental and ChoiceLease revenue and higher rental utilization.

Services revenue represents all the revenues associated with our SCS and DTS business segments, as well as SelectCare and fleet support services associated with our FMS business segment. Services revenue increased 35% in the second quarter of 2021 and 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to increases in revenue in SCS and DTS from new business and higher volumes. In the prior year, SCS revenue was negatively impacted by reduced automotive activity in the second quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 effects.
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 increased 38% in the second quarter and 20% for the six months ended June 30, 2021

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
primarily due to the growth in revenues. Costs of services in both periods also increased due to higher labor and subcontracted transportation costs from a tight driver labor market, primarily in our DTS business, and higher insurance and medical costs.
Services gross margin increased 24% in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 14% in both the second quarter of 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decreases in gross margin as a percentage of revenue reflects the impact of higher labor and subcontracted transportation costs, partially offset by higher revenue and operating performance in SCS and higher revenue in DTS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Fuel services revenue represents fuel services provided to our FMS customers. Fuel services revenue increased 42% in the second quarter of 2021 and 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily reflecting higher fuel prices passed through to customers and higher gallons sold. Fuel gallons sold in the prior year were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 effects.
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 increased 40% in the second quarter of 2021 and 13% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of higher fuel prices and higher gallons sold.
Fuel services gross margin increased in the second quarter of 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Fuel services gross margin as a percentage of revenue remained at 8% in the second quarter of 2021 and increased to 5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. 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 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2021 was not significantly impacted by these price change dynamics.

(2)Refer to Note 15, "Other Items Impacting Comparability," and below for a discussion of items excluded from our primary measure of segment performance.
As part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, we define the primary measurement of our segment financial performance as segment “Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes” (EBT), which includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS), and excludes non-operating pension costs, net and certain other items as discussed in Note 15, "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.

(1)For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, rental revenue from lease customers in place of a lease vehicle represented 29% and 34% of commercial rental revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, rental revenue from lease customers in place of a lease vehicle represented 30% and 37% of commercial rental revenue, respectively.
(2)In the first quarter of 2020, we announced our plan to exit the extension of our liability insurance coverage for ChoiceLease customers. The exit of this program was completed in the first quarter of 2021.
(3)Non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this MD&A for reconciliations of the most comparable GAAP measure to the non-GAAP financial measure and the reasons why management believes this measure is important to investors.
FMS total revenue increased 18% to $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 8% to $2.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to higher operating revenue and fuel revenue. FMS operating revenue increased 14% to $1.2 billion in the second quarter and 7% to $2.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to higher commercial rental and ChoiceLease revenue.
ChoiceLease revenue increased 5% in the second quarter of 2021 and 3% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to higher prices on new vehicles, higher mileage-based revenue due to prior year impacts of the COVID-19 effects, and partially offset by lower revenue from a smaller fleet. SelectCare revenue increased 8% in the second quarter of 2021and 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to higher volumes. Commercial rental revenue increased 58% in the second quarter and 31% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to higher demand and pricing. Commercial rental demand in the prior year was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 effects. Commercial rental pricing increased 13% in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Fuel services revenue increased 57% in the second quarter of 2021 and 21% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily reflecting higher fuel costs passed through to customers and higher gallons sold.
FMS EBT in the second quarter of 2021 increased to earnings of $158 million from a loss of $104 million in the prior year period. FMS EBT in the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased to earnings of $222 million from a loss of $218 million in the prior year period. The increase reflects lower depreciation expense of $131 million and $223 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, resulting primarily from prior residual value estimate changes, including higher used vehicle
32
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
sales results. The increase in EBT also reflects higher commercial rental and ChoiceLease results. Higher commercial rental results were primarily due to higher pricing and increased utilization on a smaller average power fleet in 2021. Rental power fleet utilization increased to 80% from 56% in the second quarter of 2021 and, increased to 76% from 60% in the six months ended June 30, 2021. ChoiceLease results benefited from higher lease pricing and increased miles driven, partially offset by a smaller lease fleet. In 2020, EBT included negative impacts from the COVID-19 effects due to lower rental demand and higher bad debt expense which was partially offset by COVID-19-related cost actions and lower medical expenses.
During the second quarter of 2021, we completed a review of the residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment. Prior to our review, the residual value estimates of our total fleet already reflected historically low levels, with used tractor prices only falling below those estimates in four of the last 21 years. Based on the results of our analysis, we primarily adjusted our residual value estimates for certain tractors and useful lives of certain classes of our revenue earning equipment, impacting approximately 15% of our total fleet. These estimate changes are intended to further reduce the probability of losses or need for accelerated depreciation during a potential cyclical downturn, even if tractor pricing returns to historical trough levels. The adjustment is expected to increase depreciation expense in 2021 by $18 million or approximately 1% of estimated annual depreciation expense. The impact was not material to our results of operations for the second quarter of 2021. Refer to Note 5, "Revenue Earning Equipment, net" for further details.

NLE units represent vehicles held for sale and vehicles for which no revenue has been earned in the previous 30 days. Accordingly, these vehicles may be temporarily out of service, being prepared for sale or awaiting redeployment. NLE units decreased 70% compared to June 30, 2020 due to a decrease in units held for sale, a lower number of vehicles being prepared for sale or redeployment and higher utilization of our rental fleet.

SCS total revenue increased 49% in the second quarter and 29% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of higher operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) and subcontracted transportation. SCS operating revenue increased 32% and 19% in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as a result of higher automotive revenues, reflecting increased volumes and prior-year COVID-19 effects. SCS operating revenue also increased due to new business and higher volumes across other industries.
SCS EBT increased 11% in the second quarter and 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to revenue growth in the automotive business, partially offset by strategic investments in marketing and technology, as well as increased incentive compensation and medical costs.
In the prior year periods, SCS customer volumes in the automotive business significantly declined due to temporary production shutdowns beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 related to COVID-19. These operations restarted during the second quarter of 2020 and were followed by increased consumer demand in the second half of 2020, which helped contribute to

DTS total revenue increased 21% in the second quarter of 2021 and 7% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to higher subcontracted transportation and operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) growth. DTS operating revenue increased 12% in the second quarter of 2021 and 6% in the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily reflecting new business and higher volumes. Revenue growth from new business can be largely attributed to wins from competitors and private fleet conversions.
DTS EBT decreased 38% in second quarter of 2021 and 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increased labor costs resulting from a tight driver labor market, higher insurance costs, and strategic investments.

Cash provided by operating activities remained at $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 reflecting higher earnings offset by higher 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 changes in other assets and liabilities. The impact from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in receivables due to higher revenues and timing of collections. Cash used in investing activities increased to $533 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $492 million in 2020 primarily due to an increase in cash paid for capital expenditures partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment. Cash provided by (used in) financing activities was ($479) million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $155 million in 2020 due to lower borrowing needs.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) decreased slightly to $602 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $612 million in 2020 primarily due to an increase in cash paid for capital expenditures partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment.
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.

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 $268 million as of June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $101 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.
Refer to Note 9, “Debt,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our net worth covenant, global revolving credit facility, trade receivables program (which was extended to April 2022 during the second quarter of 2021), medium-term notes, and asset-backed financing obligations.
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. Ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold our debt securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. 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 as of June 30, 2021 were as follows:
| Rating Summary | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Short-term | Short-term Outlook | Long-term | Long-term Outlook | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services | A2 | — | BBB | Stable | |||||||||||||||||||

As of June 30, 2021, we had the following amounts available to fund operations under the following facilities:
| (In millions) | |||||
| Global revolving credit facility | $ | 1,319 | |||
| Trade receivables program | $ | 300 | |||
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 6% and 9% as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Our debt to equity ratio was 258% and 293% as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The debt to equity ratio represents total debt divided by total equity.

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 in the United States (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.

Set forth in the table below is an overview of each non-GAAP financial measure and why management believes that the presentation of each non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors.
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 was completed in the first 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 Adjusted Return on Equity (ROE) | Comparable EBT, comparable earnings and comparable EPS are defined, respectively, as GAAP EBT, earnings and EPS, all from continuing operations, excluding (1) non-operating pension costs, net 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, net: 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 any significant charges for settlements or curtailments if recognized. We exclude non-operating pension costs, net 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. Comparable tax rate 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 marginal tax rates to which the non-GAAP adjustments are related. Adjusted ROE is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by adjusted average shareholders' equity and represents the rate of return on shareholders' investment. Other items impacting comparability described above are excluded, as applicable, from the calculation of net earnings and average shareholders' equity. We use adjusted ROE as an internal measure of how effectively we use the owned capital invested in our operations. | ||||||||||
44
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
| Comparable Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) | Comparable EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss), first adjusted to exclude discontinued operations and the following items, all from continuing operations: (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) any other items that are not representative of our business operations (these items are the same items that are excluded from comparable earnings measures for the relevant periods as described immediately above) and then adjusted further for (1) interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation, (4) used vehicle sales results and (5) amortization. We believe comparable EBITDA provides investors with useful information, as it is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to measure financial performance and our ability to service debt and meet our payment obligations. In addition, we believe that the inclusion of comparable EBITDA provides consistency in financial reporting and enables analysts and investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. Other companies may calculate comparable EBITDA differently; therefore, our presentation of comparable EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Comparable EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss), earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes or earnings (loss) from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity. | ||||||||||
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 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 is defined as the net amount of cash generated from operating activities and investing activities (excluding acquisitions) from continuing operations. 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, and (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 the following:
•Market Conditions:
◦Changes in general economic and financial conditions in the U.S. and worldwide leading to decreased demand for our services and products, lower profit margins, increased levels of bad debt and reduced access to credit and financial markets.
◦Decreases in freight demand that 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 services and products.
◦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.
◦Competition from other service providers, who may 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.
51
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
◦The inability of our legacy information technology systems to provide timely access to data.
◦Sudden changes in fuel prices and fuel shortages.
◦Higher prices for vehicles, diesel engines and fuel as a result of new regulations.
◦Higher than expected maintenance costs and lower than expected benefits associated with our maintenance initiatives.
◦Lower than expected revenue growth due to production delays at our automotive SCS customers, primarily related to the worldwide semiconductor supply shortage.
◦The inability of an OEM or supplier to provide vehicles or components, primarily related to the worldwide semiconductor supply shortage.
◦Our inability to successfully execute our strategic returns and asset management initiatives, maintain our fleet at normalized levels and right-size our fleet in line with demand.
◦Our key assumptions and pricing structure of our SCS and DTS contracts prove to be inaccurate.
◦Increased unionizing, labor strikes and work stoppages.
◦Difficulties in attracting and retaining drivers and technicians due to driver and technician shortages, which may result in higher costs to procure drivers and technicians and higher turnover rates affecting our customers.
◦Our inability to manage our cost structure.
◦Our inability to limit our exposure for customer claims.
◦Unfavorable or unanticipated outcomes in legal or regulatory proceedings or uncertain positions.
◦Business interruptions or expenditures due to severe weather or natural occurrences.
•Financing Concerns:
◦Higher borrowing costs.
◦Unanticipated interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations.
◦Negative funding status of our pension plans caused by lower than expected returns on invested assets and unanticipated changes in interest rates.
◦Withdrawal liability as a result of our participation in multi-employer plans.
◦Instability in U.S. and worldwide credit markets, resulting in higher borrowing costs and/or reduced access to credit.
•Accounting Matters:
◦Reductions in residual values or useful lives of revenue earning equipment.
◦Increases in compensation levels, retirement rate and mortality resulting in higher pension expense; regulatory changes affecting pension estimates, accruals and expenses.
◦Changes in accounting rules, assumptions and accruals.
◦Difficulties and delays in implementing our Enterprise Resource Planning system and related processes.
•Other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC filings including our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in “Item 1A.-Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report.
New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risk factors on our business. As a result, we cannot provide assurance as to our future results or achievements. You

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the second quarter of 2021, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including Ryder’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Ryder’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the second quarter of 2021, Ryder’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we implemented the financial module of our new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to replace existing core financial systems. As a result of the implementation, there were certain changes to our internal control over financial reporting related to the new ERP system. There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
