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) where Ryder is determined to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Ryder is deemed to be the primary beneficiary if we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and we share in the significant risks and rewards of the entity. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2022 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. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. We included "Other operating expenses" together with "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we previously reported certain costs in "Cost of services" that should have been included in the "Cost of fuel services" within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. These costs were not material to any financial statement line item and we elected to revise the presentation of these prior period costs to conform to the current year presentation in our financial statements. We added the "Operating lease right-of-use assets" financial statement line to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets were previously included in "Sales-type leases and other assets" in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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.) and Canada; (2) Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides integrated logistics solutions, including distribution management, dedicated transportation, transportation management, brokerage, e-commerce, last mile, and professional services in North America; and (3) Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS), which provides turnkey transportation solutions in the U.S., including dedicated vehicles, professional 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 substantially completed the exit from our FMS Europe (primarily United Kingdom (U.K.)) business as of December 31, 2022, and we expect to complete the shutdown of operations as well as the sale of the remaining vehicles and properties by mid-2023.

2. SEGMENT REPORTING

Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as segment "Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes" (EBT), includes an allocation of costs from Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes Non-operating pension costs, net, intangible amortization expense, and certain other items as discussed in Note 14, "Other Items Impacting Comparability." The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business 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. In the first quarter of 2023, we revised our primary measure of segment financial performance to exclude intangible amortization expense. We revised the presentation of the prior period to conform to the current period presentation. This change did not have a material impact to segment results. 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.

The following table sets forth financial information for each of our segments and provides a reconciliation between segment EBT and Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes:

During the first quarter of 2023, we identified impairment indicators primarily associated with specialized sortation and conveyor equipment used in the warehouse operations of a specific SCS customer. The impairment indicators were triggered by the credit deterioration and eventual bankruptcy of this customer in April 2023. These events resulted in a significant decline in the current forecasted operating cash flows associated with the equipment. We performed an asset impairment test under the income-based approach using a discounted cash flow method of valuation and determined we had an impairment of $30 million.

Events and/or changes in circumstances may occur in the near term resulting in a change in management’s estimates of undiscounted cash flows. Any such events or changes could ultimately impact the amount of the impairment loss. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we were notified by this customer of their intent to early terminate operations at one of their distribution centers and we recorded an impairment charge of $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

(1)Revenue earning equipment held for sale where net book values exceed fair values are adjusted to fair value on a nonrecurring basis and these adjustments are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. The fair value of revenue earning equipment held for sale adjusted with Level 3 fair value measurements were $4 million and $3 million as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The net book value of all other assets held for sale were below fair value.
Residual Value Estimate Changes

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. Reductions in estimated residual values or useful lives will increase depreciation expense over the remaining useful life of the vehicle. Conversely, an increase in estimated residual values or useful lives will decrease depreciation expense over the remaining useful life of the vehicle. Our review of the estimated residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment is based on vehicle class, (i.e., generally subcategories of trucks, tractors and trailers by weight and usage), historical and current market prices, third-party expected future market prices, expected lives of vehicles, and expected sales in the wholesale or retail markets, among other factors. A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, could cause residual value estimates to differ from actual used vehicle sales pricing, such as changes in supply and demand of used vehicles; volatility in market conditions; changes in vehicle technology; competitor pricing; regulatory requirements; driver shortages; customer 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not adjust the estimated residual values and useful lives of existing revenue earning equipment.
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, if available, or third-party market pricing. In addition, we also consider expected declines in market prices when valuing the vehicles held for sale, as well as forecasted sales channel mix (retail/wholesale).

(1)Includes impact from the fair market values of hedging instruments on our notes, which was $39 million as of March 31, 2023, and $47 million as of December 31, 2022, and was included in "Other non-current liabilities" within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The notional amount of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $500 million and $450 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
(2)Asset-backed U.S. obligations are related to financing transactions backed by a portion of our revenue earning equipment.
(3)The unsecured medium-term notes bear semi-annual interest.


The fair value of total debt (excluding finance lease and asset-backed U.S. obligations) was approximately $5.9 billion and $5.7 billion as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 our other debt were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of March 31, 2023, there was $943 million available under the global revolving 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 defined in the credit facility agreement. As of March 31, 2023, the ratio was 156%.

On April 25, 2023, certain terms of our global revolving credit facility were amended. Pursuant to the amendment, among other items, (i) the definition of consolidated net worth was revised to exclude impacts from our exit of the FMS U.K. business,

(ii) LIBOR was replaced as an available benchmark interest rate with Term SOFR, and (iii) the maximum absolute dollar amounts for our trade receivables financing program and asset-backed financings were removed and only percentage-based maximum amounts remain.

We had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding of $515 million and $513 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.

As of March 31, 2023, the available proceeds under the trade receivables financing program were $1 million. As of March 31, 2023, utilization of the credit facility included borrowing of $215 million and letters of credit outstanding of $84 million. On April 24, 2023, we extended the trade receivables financing program for an additional year to April 2024.

The following table summarizes our debt proceeds and repayments in 2023:

Debt proceeds were used to repay maturing debt and for general corporate purposes. If the unsecured medium-term notes are downgraded below investment grade following, or as a result of, a change in control, the note holders can require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of principal value plus accrued and unpaid interest.


9. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

We maintain two share repurchase programs. The first program authorizes management to repurchase up to 2.5 million shares of common stock, issued to employees under our employee stock plans since September 1, 2021 (the "2021 Anti-Dilutive Program"). The 2021 Anti-Dilutive Program is designed to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans. The 2021 Anti-Dilutive Program commenced October 14, 2021 and expires October 14, 2023. In February 2023, our board of directors authorized a new discretionary share repurchase program to grant management discretion to repurchase up to 2 million shares of common stock over a period of two years (the "2023 Discretionary Program"). Share repurchases under both programs can be made from time to time using our working capital and a variety of methods, including open-market transactions and trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors, including balance sheet leverage, availability of acquisitions and stock price.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 0.5 million shares for $45 million under the 2021 Anti-Dilutive Program and did not repurchase any shares under the 2023 Discretionary Program. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not repurchase any shares under the 2021 Anti-Dilutive Program.

In February 2022, our board of directors authorized an accelerated share repurchase program to repurchase up to $300 million of common stock, with final settlement scheduled to occur no later than the end of October 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we remitted $300 million to our agent for the accelerated share repurchase program. We received an initial share amount of approximately 3 million, representing approximately 80% of the total notional value of the accelerated share repurchase agreement.

15.  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 estimated liability 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 (the "Securities Class Action"). 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 May 12, 2022, the court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss. The court entered a case management schedule on June 27, 2022, which, among other things, provides that discovery shall be completed by October 2023 and the commencement of trial in June 2024. On April 18, 2023, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve this action, subject to the execution of definitive settlement documentation and court approval. We expect that the settlement amount will be covered by insurance, and accordingly is not material to our financial position or results of operations.

As previously disclosed, between June 2020 and February 2, 2021, five shareholder derivative complaints were filed purportedly on behalf of Ryder against us as nominal defendant and certain of our current and former officers and our current directors. The complaints are generally based on the allegations set forth in the Securities Class Action complaint and allege

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(unaudited)
breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. 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. Three of these derivative complaints were filed in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, which were then consolidated into a single action (the "State Action"). Two of the complaints were filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the "Federal Actions", and together with the State Action, the "Derivative Cases"). All of the Derivative Cases were stayed (stopped) pending the resolution of the motion to dismiss the Securities Class Action described in the paragraph above. On July 18, 2022, the Federal Actions were further stayed pending the final resolution of the State Action. On July 26, 2022, the State Action was further stayed until the conclusion of summary judgment proceedings in the Securities Class Action (except that certain discovery would be permitted). We continue to believe that 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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. We included "Other operating expenses" together with "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we previously reported certain costs in "Cost of services" that should have been included in the "Cost of fuel services" within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. These costs were not material to any financial statement line item and we elected to revise the presentation of these prior period costs to conform to the current year presentation in our financial statements.


OVERVIEW

General

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.

Business Trends

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, market conditions for our used vehicle sales and rental continued to normalize, although used vehicle trends were moderately higher than expected. We are still experiencing favorable trends in logistics and transportation solutions due to secular trends including ongoing supply chain disruptions and a limited supply of vehicles available in the market. These market conditions, along with successful management of initiatives to increase long-term returns, are driving revenue growth and benefiting earnings in our Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) and Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) business segments.

In our Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) North America business, used vehicle pricing declined from the historical highs of the prior year and rental utilization continued to normalize. We anticipate that market conditions for used vehicle sales and rental will continue to weaken in 2023. ChoiceLease vehicle fleet grew during the first quarter and our lease pricing initiatives are delivering improved portfolio returns. We expect to realize incremental earnings benefits as our remaining portfolio is renewed at higher returns.

In our SCS business, strong outsourcing trends in warehousing and distribution continue. Higher pricing and volumes drove strong revenue growth in SCS and DTS. SCS revenue growth also benefited from new contract wins in the prior year. Pricing adjustments and cost recovery initiatives benefited earnings in both segments, with profitability in DTS at the high end of our target range. SCS earnings in the first quarter were adversely affected by a $30 million asset impairment charge related to a customer bankruptcy. We are also seeing weaker trends in the omnichannel retail vertical. In the first quarter of 2023, DTS contract sales activity slowed, consistent with a softer freight environment. We expect the moderation in DTS contract sales activity to continue for the remainder of the year.

While we are experiencing positive momentum in our businesses, other unknown effects from extended higher fuel prices, inflationary cost pressures, labor shortages, extended disruptions in vehicle and vehicle part production and rising interest rates may negatively impact demand for our business and financial results.

SELECTED OPERATING PERFORMANCE ITEMS

Total revenue of $3.0 billion and operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure) of $2.3 billion for first quarter of 2023 increased 3% and 6%, respectively as compared to prior year, primarily reflecting SCS revenue growth
Diluted EPS from continuing operations of $2.95 in the first quarter of 2023 versus $3.35 in prior year
Comparable EPS (a non-GAAP measure) from continuing operations of $2.81 in the first quarter of 2023 down from $3.59 in prior year, reflecting strong but lower results in FMS, and a SCS asset impairment partially offset by lower share count and better results in DTS
Adjusted Return on Equity (ROE) (a non-GAAP measure) of 27% in the first quarter of 2023

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $478 million and free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) of $101 million in the first quarter of 2023


Total revenue increased 3% in the first quarter of 2023 due to higher operating revenue, partially offset by lower fuel revenue and subcontracted transportation. Operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) increased 6% in the first quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting SCS revenue growth.

EBT and comparable EBT (a non-GAAP measure) decreased in the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to lower gains on used vehicles sold in North America and lower commercial rental results in FMS and a SCS asset impairment partially offset by higher earnings in DTS.

Lease & related maintenance and rental revenue represent revenue from our ChoiceLease and commercial rental product offerings within our FMS business segment. Revenue decreased 4% in the first quarter of 2023, reflecting a 4% negative impact from the exit of the FMS U.K business.

Cost of lease & related maintenance and rental represents the direct costs related to lease & related maintenance and rental revenue 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 4% in the first quarter of 2023, primarily from the exit of the FMS U.K. business.

Lease & related maintenance and rental gross margin decreased in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower commercial rental demand partially offset by higher commercial rental pricing. Lease & related maintenance and rental gross margin percentage decreased in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower commercial rental utilization.

Cost of services1,607 1,450  11%
Gross margin$214 $220  (3)%
Gross margin %12%13%

Services revenue represents all the revenue 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 9% in the first quarter of 2023, due to increases in revenue in SCS and DTS primarily driven by new business, higher volumes and increased pricing. Services revenue also increased from higher volumes in SelectCare.

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 11% in the first quarter of 2023, from growth in revenue and a $30 million SCS asset impairment charge as a result of a customer bankruptcy.

Services gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased in the first quarter of 2023, due to a SCS asset impairment partially offset by higher pricing, new business, and increased volumes.

Fuel services revenue$152 $159  (4)%
Cost of fuel services149 155  (4)%
Gross margin$3 $ (25)%
Gross margin %2%3%

Fuel services revenue represents fuel services provided to our FMS customers. Fuel services revenue decreased 4% in the first quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting a lower volume of gallons sold partially offset by higher fuel prices passed through to customers.

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 4% in the first quarter of 2023, as a result of lower volume of gallons sold partially offset by higher fuel prices.

Fuel services gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of revenue declined in the first quarter of 2023, compared to prior year. 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 current market fuel costs. Fuel services gross margin for the first quarter of 2023, was not significantly impacted by these price change dynamics as fuel prices fluctuated during the period.

Miscellaneous income, net consists of investment income on securities used to fund certain benefit plans, interest income, gains on sales of operating property, foreign currency transaction remeasurement and other non-operating items. Miscellaneous income, net was $20 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting higher gains on sales of properties.
We expect to complete the exit of U.K. operations by mid-2023, and as a result of the liquidation of the balance sheet, we anticipate recognizing a foreign currency cumulative translation adjustment loss of approximately $180 million or $3.75 per share.

(3)Refer to Note 14, "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 from continuing operations before income taxes" (EBT), which includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes non-operating pension costs, intangible amortization expense, and certain other items as discussed in Note 14, "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 business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. In the first quarter of 2023, we revised our primary measurement of segment financial performance to exclude intangible amortization expense. This change did not have a material impact to segment results. 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 corporate costs are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation.

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.  Inter-segment EBT allocated to SCS and DTS includes earnings related to equipment

FMS total revenue decreased 2% in the first quarter of 2023, due to lower operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel) and lower fuel services revenue due to lower gallons sold partially offset by higher fuel prices passed through to customers. FMS operating revenue decreased 2% in the first quarter of 2023, reflecting a 4% increase in North America due to higher SelectCare and ChoiceLease revenue offset by a 6% negative impact from the exit of the FMS U.K. business.

FMS EBT decreased 27% in the first quarter of 2023, primarily from lower gains on used vehicle sales and decreased commercial rental results. Lower North America gains reflect a 16% and 35% decrease in used truck and tractor pricing, respectively, partially offset by higher volumes. Lower commercial rental results reflect decreased utilization partially offset by a 3% increase in power fleet pricing. Rental power fleet utilization decreased to 75% from a record level of 82% in the first quarter of the prior year, on a 6% larger average power fleet.

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 unsecured commercial paper and medium-term notes.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $253 million as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, $206 million was held outside the U.S. and is available to fund operations. Our intention is to permanently reinvest the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of our U.K. and Germany subsidiaries where the assertion was removed in 2021. Federal, state and foreign income taxes, withholding taxes and the tax impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses were considered on the remaining U.K. and Germany undistributed earnings as of March 31, 2023, and there was no impact to deferred taxes. In February 2023, we repatriated $38 million of foreign earnings from the U.K.

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, volatility or disruption in the public unsecured debt market or the commercial paper market may impair our ability to access these markets or secure terms commercially acceptable to us. 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 or by seeking other funding sources.

In February 2023, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $500 million unsecured medium-terms notes that mature on March 1, 2028. The notes bear interest at a rate of 5.65% per year. Refer to Note 8, "Debt," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our global revolving credit facility, trade receivables financing program, 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.

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 vehicle 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 18% and 19% as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Our debt to equity ratio was 211% and 216% as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The debt to equity ratio represents total debt divided by total equity.

As of March 31, 2023, we repurchased 0.5 million shares for $45 million under the 2021 Anti-Dilutive program.

Refer to Note 9, "Share Repurchase Programs," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on our share repurchase programs.

In February 2023 and 2022, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.62 and $0.58 per share of common stock, respectively.


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 the MD&A above. We also provide the reasons why management believes each non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in this section.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
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 or each business segment (FMS, SCS and DTS) excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation. 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. Fuel revenue 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 current 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.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
Comparable Earnings Measures:
Comparable Earnings before Income Taxes (EBT)

Comparable Earnings

Comparable Earnings 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) other items impacting comparability (as further described below). 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, net, 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 adjusted net earnings and adjusted average shareholders' equity. We use adjusted ROE as an internal measure of how effectively we use the owned capital invested in our operations.

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, 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, earnings from continuing operations before income taxes or earnings from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of our 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 changes in restricted cash and 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, among others, 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 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 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 we service.
Changes in current financial, tax or other regulatory requirements that could negatively impact our financial and operating 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 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 where 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:
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.

(1)During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we purchased an aggregate of 323,634 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 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)Our board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to 2.5 million shares of common stock, issued to employees under the company's employee stock plans since September 1, 2021 (the "2021 Anti-Dilutive Program"). The 2021 Anti-Dilutive Program is designed to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans. The 2021 Anti-Dilutive Repurchase Program commenced on October 14, 2021 and expires on October 14, 2023. In February 2023, our board of directors authorized a new discretionary share repurchase program to grant management discretion to repurchase up to 2 million shares of common stock over a period of two years (the "2023 Discretionary Program"). Share repurchases under both programs can be made from time to time using our working capital and a variety of methods, including open-market transactions and trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors, including balance sheet leverage, availability of acquisitions and stock price.


ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On April 25, 2023, certain terms of our global revolving credit facility were amended. Pursuant to the amendment, among other items, (i) the definition of consolidated net worth was revised to exclude impacts from our exit of the FMS U.K. business, (ii) LIBOR was replaced as an available benchmark interest rate with Term SOFR, and (iii) the maximum absolute dollar amounts for our trade receivables financing programs and asset-backed financings were removed and only percentage-based maximum amounts remain.
