NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. GENERAL

Nature of Operations

Schneider National, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together “Schneider,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are among the largest providers of surface transportation and logistics solutions in North America. We offer a multimodal portfolio of services and an array of capabilities and resources that leverage artificial intelligence, data science, and analytics to provide innovative solutions that coordinate the timely, safe, and effective movement of customer products. The Company offers truckload, intermodal, and logistics services to a diverse customer base throughout the continental U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements and footnotes do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Financial results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods presented.

Property and Equipment

Gains and losses on property and equipment are recognized at the time of sale or disposition and are classified in operating supplies and expenses—net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $12.3 million and $60.9 million of net gains on the sale of property and equipment, respectively. Net gains during 2022 were primarily related to the sale of the Company’s Canadian facility.

2. ACQUISITIONS

We acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of deBoer on June 7, 2022 for a final purchase price of approximately $34.6 million inclusive of certain cash and net working capital adjustments. The purchase price allocation for deBoer was considered final as of December 31, 2022 and resulted in $6.1 million of goodwill being recorded within the Truckload reportable segment. deBoer was a regional, dedicated carrier headquartered in Blenker, WI, and the acquisition provided us the opportunity to expand our tractor and trailer fleet primarily within our dedicated Truckload operations. Operating results for deBoer are included in our consolidated results of operations from the acquisition date through July 2022 when their operations ceased and drivers and equipment were deployed primarily within our Truckload segment.

On December 31, 2021, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of MLS, a dedicated trucking company based in Celina, OH, and certain affiliated entities holding assets comprising substantially all of MLS’s business. MLS is a dedicated carrier in the central U.S. that complements our growing dedicated operations. The aggregate purchase price of the acquisition was approximately $268.8 million inclusive of certain net working capital and other post-acquisition adjustments. The purchase price allocation for MLS was considered final as of December 31, 2022 and resulted in $104.3 million of goodwill being recorded within the Truckload reportable segment. Operating results for MLS are included in our consolidated results of operations beginning January 1, 2022.

3. LEASES

As Lessee

We lease real estate and equipment under operating and finance leases. Our real estate operating leases include operating centers, distribution warehouses, offices, and drop yards. Our non-real estate operating leases and finance leases include transportation, office, yard, and warehouse equipment, in addition to truck washes. The majority of our leases include an option to extend the lease, and a small number include an option to terminate the lease early, which may include a termination payment.

Table of Contents

Additional information related to our leases is as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2023		2022
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities
Operating cash flows for operating leases	$	9.0	$	8.3
Operating cash flows for finance leases	0.1		—
Financing cash flows for finance leases	0.8		0.3

Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease liabilities
Operating leases	$	14.0	$	4.3
Finance leases	0.3		1.8

As of March 31, 2023, we had signed leases that had not yet commenced totaling $20.8 million. These leases will commence during the remainder of 2023 and have lease terms of three to seven years.

As Lessor

We finance various types of transportation-related equipment for independent third parties under lease contracts, which are generally for one to three years and are accounted for as sales-type leases with fully guaranteed residual values. Our leases contain an option for the lessee to return, extend, or purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for the guaranteed contract residual amount. This contract residual amount is estimated to approximate the fair value of the equipment. Lease payments primarily include base rentals and guaranteed residual values.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, investments in lease receivables were as follows:


(in millions)	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Future minimum payments to be received on leases	$	202.9	$	198.4
Guaranteed residual lease values	126.1		126.1
Total minimum lease payments to be received	329.0		324.5
Unearned income	(52.3)		(50.2)
Net investment in leases	$	276.7	$	274.3

Prior to entering a lease contract, we assess the credit quality of the potential lessee using credit checks and other relevant factors, ensuring that the inherent credit risk is consistent with our existing lease portfolio. Given our leases have fully guaranteed residual values and we can take possession of the transportation-related equipment in the event of default, we do not categorize net investment in leases by different credit quality indicators upon origination. We monitor our lease portfolio weekly by tracking amounts past due, days past due, and outstanding maintenance account balances, including performing subsequent credit checks as needed. Our net investment in leases with any portion past due as of March 31, 2023 was $53.6 million, which includes both current and future lease payments. Lease payments on our lease receivables are generally due on a weekly basis and are classified as past due when the weekly payment is not received by its due date. As of March 31, 2023, our lease payments past due were $3.4 million.

The table below provides additional information on our sales-type leases. Revenue and cost of goods sold are recorded in operating revenues and operating supplies and expenses—net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, respectively.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2023		2022
Revenue	$	60.8	$	42.3
Cost of goods sold	(51.4)		(36.0)
Operating profit	$	9.4	$	6.3

Interest income on lease receivable	$	9.4	$	8.7

We generally receive payment within 40 days of completion of performance obligations. Contract assets in the table above relate to revenue in transit at the end of the reporting period. Contract liabilities relate to amounts that customers paid in advance of the associated services.

Non-monetary Consideration

Occasionally we provide freight movements to customers in exchange for non-monetary services. The fair value of non-monetary consideration on these freight movements is included in operating revenues on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consists primarily of transportation equipment. There was no revenue recorded for freight movements in exchange for non-monetary consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, $6.5 million was recorded for these services.

5. FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the estimated price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value fall into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2, and 3) as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Table of Contents

Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).

Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The table below sets forth the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring, monthly basis in accordance with ASC 820.


		Fair Value
(in millions)	Level in Fair Value Hierarchy	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Equity investment in TuSimple (1)	1	$	0.5	$	0.6
Marketable securities (2)	2	53.3		45.9

(1)Our equity investment in TuSimple is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as shares of TuSimple’s Class A common stock are traded on the NASDAQ. See Note 6, Investments, for additional information.

(2)Marketable securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as they are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active. See Note 6, Investments, for additional information.

The fair value of the Company’s debt was $199.7 million and $199.1 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s debt was $205.0 million as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of our debt was calculated using a fixed rate debt portfolio with similar terms and maturities, which is based on the borrowing rates available to us in the applicable period. This valuation used Level 2 inputs.

The recorded values of cash, trade accounts receivable, lease receivables, and trade accounts payable approximate fair values.

6. INVESTMENTS

Marketable Securities

Our marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value in current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. While our intent is to hold our securities to maturity, sudden changes in the market or our liquidity needs may cause us to sell certain securities in advance of their maturity date.

Any unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets, unless we determine that the amortized cost basis is not recoverable. If we determine that the amortized cost basis of the impaired security is not recoverable, we recognize the credit loss by increasing the allowance for those losses. We did not have an allowance for credit losses on our marketable securities as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. Cost basis is determined using the specific identification method.

The following table presents the maturities and values of our marketable securities as of the dates shown.


	March 31, 2023					December 31, 2022

Equity Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values

The Company’s primary strategic equity investments without readily determinable fair values include Platform Science, Inc., a provider of telematics and fleet management tools; MLSI, a transportation technology development company; and ChemDirect, a business to business digital marketplace for the chemical industry. These investments are being accounted for under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, using the measurement alternative, and their combined values as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $108.7 million and $86.0 million, respectively. If the Company identifies observable price changes for identical or similar securities of the same issuer, the equity security is measured at fair value as of the date the observable

(1)Our updated investment value in 2023 was determined using a hybrid backsolve method, a valuation approach incorporating both IPO and M&A scenarios to estimate the value based on recently issued shares.

Equity Investments with Readily Determinable Fair Values

In 2021, the Company purchased a $5.0 million non-controlling interest in TuSimple, a global self-driving technology company. Upon completion of its IPO in April 2021, our investment in TuSimple was converted into Class A common shares and is now being accounted for under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. In the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized pre-tax net losses of $0.1 million and $8.4 million, respectively. See Note 5, Fair Value, for additional information on the fair value of our investment in TuSimple.

All of our equity investments, as well our note receivable from MLSI, are included in internal use software and other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent gains or losses on our equity investments are recognized within other expenses (income)—net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Our goodwill balance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $228.2 million and was comprised of $214.0 million and $14.2 million in our Truckload and Logistics segments, respectively. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our Truckload segment had accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $34.6 million.

The identifiable finite lived intangible assets other than goodwill listed below are included in internal use software and other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets and relate to the acquisition of MLS. Our customer relationships and trademarks are amortized over a weighted-average amortization period of ten years.

8. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, debt included the following:


(in millions)	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Unsecured senior notes: principal maturities ranging from 2023 through 2025; interest payable in semiannual installments through the same timeframe; weighted average interest rate of 3.64% and 3.93% for 2023 and 2022, respectively	$	205.0	$	205.0

Current maturities	(70.0)		(70.0)

Long-term debt	$	135.0	$	135.0

Our Credit Agreement (the “2022 Credit Facility”) provides borrowing capacity of $250.0 million and allows us to request an additional increase in total commitment by up to $150.0 million, for a total potential commitment of $400.0 million through November 2027. The agreement also provides a sublimit of $100.0 million to be used for the issuance of letters of credit. We had no outstanding borrowings under this agreement as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. Standby letters of credit under this agreement amounted to $0.1 million for both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and were primarily related to the requirements of certain of our real estate leases.

We also have a Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “2021 Receivables Purchase Agreement”), which allows us to borrow funds against qualifying trade receivables at rates based on one-month LIBOR up to $150.0 million and provides for the issuance of standby letters of credit through July 2024. We had no outstanding borrowings under this facility as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, standby letters of credit under this agreement amounted to $77.5 million and $77.1 million, respectively, and were primarily related to the requirements of certain of our insurance obligations.

9. INCOME TAXES

Our effective income tax rate was 24.2% and 25.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items. This rate is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and best estimates of nontaxable and nondeductible income and expense items.

10. COMMON EQUITY

Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Basic earnings per common share	$	0.55	$	0.52
Diluted earnings per common share	0.55		0.52

(1)Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding may not sum due to rounding.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded 0.5 million and 0.6 million share-based awards and options that had an anti-dilutive effect for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Common Shares Outstanding

The following table shows changes to our common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.


	Class A Common Shares	Class B Common Shares
Outstanding as of December 31, 2021	83,029,500	94,626,740

Share issuances	—	258,523
Exercise of employee stock options	—	97,420

Shares withheld for employee taxes	—	(244,277)
Outstanding as of March 31, 2023	83,029,500	95,388,727

In January 2023, our Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of its Class A and/or Class B common shares. The program does not obligate the Company to repurchase a minimum number of shares and is intended to help offset the dilutive effect of equity grants to employees over time. Under this program, the Company may repurchase shares in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Subsequent Event - Dividends Declared

In April of 2023, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for the second fiscal quarter of 2023 in the amount of $0.09 per share to holders of our Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend is payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 9, 2023 and will be paid on July 11, 2023.

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We grant various equity-based awards relating to Class B common stock to employees under our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“the Plan”). These awards have historically consisted of restricted shares, RSUs, performance-based restricted shares (“performance shares”), PSUs, and non-qualified stock options. Performance shares and PSUs granted are earned based on attainment of threshold performance of earnings and return on capital targets, in addition to a multiplier applied based on rTSR against peers over the performance period.

Share-based compensation expense was $4.8 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We recognize share-based compensation expense over the awards’ vesting period. As of March 31, 2023, we had $35.6 million of pre-tax unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding share-based compensation awards expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

Equity-based awards granted during the first quarter of 2023 had a grant date fair value of $17.5 million and are included in the table below. RSUs granted in 2023 vest ratably over a period of three years where the majority of RSUs granted prior to 2023 vest ratably over a period of four years. No restricted shares, performance shares, or non-qualified stock options were granted during the first quarter of 2023.


2023 Grants	Number of Awards Granted	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
RSUs	345,369	$	28.86
PSUs	237,886	31.60
Total grants	583,255

The Monte-Carlo valuation model is used by the Company to determine the grant date fair value of PSUs, while the Company uses its stock price on the grant date as the fair value assigned to RSUs.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in certain legal matters and investigations including liability claims, taxes other than income taxes, contract disputes, employment, and other litigation matters. We accrue for anticipated costs to resolve matters that are probable and estimable. We believe the outcomes of these matters will not have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

We record liabilities for claims against the Company based on our best estimate of expected losses. The primary claims arising for the Company through its trucking, intermodal, and logistics operations consist of accident-related claims for personal injury, collision, and comprehensive compensation, in addition to workers’ compensation, property damage, cargo, and wage and benefit claims. We maintain excess liability insurance with licensed insurance carriers for liability in excess of amounts we self-insure, which serves to largely offset the Company’s liability associated with these claims, with the exception of wage and benefit claims for which we self-insure. We review our accruals periodically to ensure that the aggregate amounts of our accruals are appropriate at any period after consideration of available insurance coverage. Although we expect that our claims accruals will continue to vary based on future developments, assuming that we are able to continue to obtain and maintain excess liability insurance coverage for such claims, we do not anticipate that such accruals will, in any period, materially impact our operating results.

As of March 31, 2023, our firm commitments to purchase transportation equipment totaled $358.2 million.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a $5.2 million charge as a result of an adverse audit assessment by a state jurisdiction over the applicability of sales tax for prior periods on rolling stock equipment used within that state. The charge is included within operating supplies and expenses—net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company filed a request for appeal of the audit assessment with the state jurisdiction.

A representative of the former owners of WSL filed a lawsuit alleging that we did not fulfill certain obligations under the purchase and sale agreement and claiming that the former owners of WSL were entitled to damages including an additional payment of $40.0 million under an earn-out arrangement. On April 25, 2022, the Delaware Superior Court entered judgment in favor of the former owners of WSL, awarding $40.0 million in compensatory damages, plus prejudgment interest and the former owners’ attorneys’ fees, to which we recognized a $59.0 million charge in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company later settled with the former owners of WSL for a total of $57.0 million, which was included within other general expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2022.

13. SEGMENT REPORTING

We have three reportable segments – Truckload, Intermodal, and Logistics – which are based primarily on the services each segment provides.

In November 2022, the Company executed a management buyout agreement to sell its Asia operations. While Asia met the definition of an operating segment, it did not meet the quantitative threshold for separate disclosure, and the results were included in “Other” in the tables below during 2022.

The CODM reviews revenues for each segment without the inclusion of fuel surcharge revenues. For segment purposes, any fuel surcharge revenues earned are recorded as a reduction of the segment’s fuel expenses. Income from operations at the segment level reflects the measure presented to the CODM for each segment.

Separate balance sheets are not prepared by segment, and as a result, assets are not separately identifiable by segment. All transactions between reportable segments are eliminated in consolidation.

Substantially all of our revenues and assets were generated or located within the U.S.

The following tables summarize our segment information. Inter-segment revenues were immaterial for all segments, with the exception of Other, which included revenues from insurance premiums charged to other segments for workers’ compensation, auto, and other types of insurance. Inter-segment revenues included in Other revenues below were $18.2 million and $19.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

INTRODUCTION

Company Overview

We are a transportation and logistics services company providing a multimodal portfolio of truckload, intermodal, and logistics solutions. Our diversified portfolio of complementary service offerings enables us to serve the varied needs of our customers and to allocate capital in a manner that seeks to maximize returns across all market cycles and economic conditions. We continually monitor our performance and market conditions to ensure appropriate allocation of capital and resources to grow our businesses, while optimizing returns across reportable segments. Our strong balance sheet, scalable platform, and experienced operations team are supportive of our acquisition strategy, which includes acquiring high-quality businesses that meet our disciplined selection criteria to enhance our service offerings and broaden our customer base.

Our truckload services consist of over the road freight transportation via dry van, bulk, temperature-controlled, and flat-bed trailers across either network or dedicated configurations. Freight is transported and delivered by our company-employed drivers in company trucks and by owner-operators with company-owned trailers and executed through long-haul or regional services, including customized solutions for high-value and time-sensitive loads throughout North America.

Our intermodal services consist of door-to-door container on flat car service through a combination of rail and dray transportation, in association with our rail providers. Our intermodal business uses company-owned containers, chassis, and trucks with primarily company dray drivers, augmented by third-party dray capacity.

Our logistics services consist of asset-light freight brokerage (including both traditional brokerage and Power Only services which leverage our nationwide company-owned trailer pools to match third-party capacity with customer demand), supply chain (including 3PL), warehousing, and import/export services. Our logistics business provides value-added services using both our assets and third-party capacity, augmented by our trailing assets, to manage and move our customers’ freight.

Our success depends on our ability to balance our transportation network and efficiently and effectively manage our resources in the delivery of truckload, intermodal, and logistics services to our customers. Resource requirements vary with customer demand, which may be subject to seasonal or general economic conditions. We believe that our ability to properly select freight and adapt to changes in customer transportation needs allows us to efficiently deploy resources and make capital investments in trucks, trailers, containers, and chassis or obtain qualified third-party capacity at reasonable prices.

Consistent with the transportation industry, our business can be seasonal across each of our segments, which generally translates to our reported revenues being the lowest in the first quarter and highest in the fourth quarter. Operating expenses tend to be higher in the winter months, primarily due to colder weather, which causes higher maintenance expense and higher fuel consumption from increased idle time.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this section of our report, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), (2) adjusted income from operations, (3) adjusted operating ratio, and (4) adjusted net income. We also provide reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes the use of each of these non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding our business by (1) removing the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance, (2) providing investors with the same information our management uses internally to assess our core operating performance, and (3) presenting comparable financial results between periods. In addition, in the case of revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), we believe the measure is useful to investors because it isolates volume, price, and cost changes directly related to industry demand and the way we operate our business from the external factor of fluctuating fuel prices and the programs we have in place to manage such fluctuations. Fuel-related costs and their impact on our industry are important to our results of operations, but they are often independent of other, more relevant factors affecting our results of operations and our industry.

Table of Contents

Although we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, they have limitations as analytical tools and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. You should not consider the non-GAAP measures in this report in isolation or as substitutes for, or alternatives to, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of unusual or infrequent items or other adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will not be affected by unusual or infrequent items or by other items similar to such adjustments. Our management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results in addition to using the non-GAAP measures.

Enterprise Summary

The following table includes key GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated enterprise. Adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP measures are made at the enterprise level, with the exception of fuel surcharge revenues, which are not included in segment revenues.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Enterprise Results Summary

Enterprise net income increased $5.9 million, approximately 6%, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022. Income from operations declined $20.5 million during that same period but was more than offset by a $26.3 million favorable change in total other expenses (income)—net which was largely related to our equity investments. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized pre-tax net gains of $17.6 million compared to $8.4 million in pre-tax net losses on our equity investments during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Adjusted net income decreased $4.1 million, approximately 4%.

Components of Enterprise Net Income

Enterprise Revenues

Enterprise operating revenues decreased $191.8 million, approximately 12%, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022.

Factors contributing to the decrease were as follows:

•a $163.5 million decrease in Logistics segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) driven by decreased revenue per order due to moderating market conditions, a decline in volume within our brokerage business, as well as decreased port dray revenues;

•a $36.0 million decrease in Intermodal segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) due to a decrease in orders and revenue per order; and

•an $11.4 million decrease in Truckload segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) resulting from a decline in revenue per truck per week and volume within our network business, partially offset by improved revenue per truck per week and increased volumes within our dedicated business.

The above factors were partially offset by:

•a $13.2 million increase in fuel surcharge revenues resulting from increased fuel prices and dedicated volumes in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022.

Enterprise revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) decreased $205.0 million, approximately 14%.

Enterprise Income from Operations and Operating Ratio

Enterprise income from operations decreased $20.5 million, approximately 15%, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022, primarily due to a decrease in net revenue per order in Logistics, revenue per truck per week in Truckload, and revenue per order in Intermodal. A net gain on sale of $50.9 million in 2022 in connection with the sale of our Canadian facility, as well as the impacts on revenues of a decline in volume within our brokerage business and Intermodal, also contributed to the decrease. These factors were partially offset by the $59.0 million adverse judgment related to a lawsuit with former owners of WSL in 2022, volume growth within our dedicated business, and a decline in rail purchased transportation costs.

Adjusted income from operations decreased $33.8 million, approximately 23%.

Enterprise operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenues) increased on both a GAAP and adjusted basis when compared to the first quarter of 2022. Among other factors, our operating ratio can be negatively impacted by changes in portfolio mix when our higher operating ratio, less asset-focused Logistics segment grows faster than our lower operating ratio, capital-intensive Truckload segment.

Enterprise Operating Expenses

Key operating expense fluctuations are described below.

•Purchased transportation decreased $177.0 million, or 24%, quarter over quarter, primarily resulting from a decline in third-party carrier costs within Logistics due to lower brokerage volumes and purchased transportation costs per order, in addition to a decline in rail purchased transportation driven by decreases in Intermodal orders and rail cost per mile.

•Fuel and fuel taxes for company trucks increased $2.8 million, or 3%, quarter over quarter, driven primarily by increased dedicated volumes. A significant portion of fuel costs are recovered through our fuel surcharge programs.

•Depreciation and amortization increased $8.0 million, or 10%, quarter over quarter, mainly due to additional depreciation expense incurred as a result of truck and trailer growth within Truckload, as well as inflationary unit costs for new equipment.

Table of Contents

•Operating supplies and expenses—net increased $58.4 million, or 65%, quarter over quarter, largely resulting from a net gain in the first quarter of 2022 related to the sale of the Company’s Canadian facility and higher cost of goods sold in our leasing business due to an increase in lease activity in 2023. These factors were partially offset by an increase in gains on sales of equipment and a decrease in equipment rental expense driven by improved port fluidity and decreased port dray volumes in 2023.

•Other general expenses decreased $62.1 million, or 63%, quarter over quarter, primarily related to a $59.0 million adverse judgment in 2022 related to a lawsuit with the former owners of WSL.

Total Other Expenses (Income)

Total other income increased $26.3 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022. This change was driven by a $17.6 million pre-tax net gain on our equity investments in the first quarter of 2023 compared to an $8.4 million pre-tax net loss in the first quarter of 2022. See Note 6, Investments, for more information on our equity investments.

Income Tax Expense

Our provision for income taxes decreased $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022, primarily due to a decrease in the effective income tax rate. The effective income tax rate was 24.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 25.4% for the same quarter last year. Our provision for income taxes may fluctuate in future periods to the extent there are changes to tax laws and regulations.

We monitor and analyze a number of KPIs to manage our business and evaluate our financial and operating performance.

Truckload

The following table presents our Truckload segment KPIs for the periods indicated, consistent with how revenues and expenses are reported internally for segment purposes. The two operations that make up our Truckload segment are as follows:

•Dedicated - Transportation services with equipment devoted to customers under long-term contracts.

•Network - Transportation services of one-way shipments.

Impacts from deBoer are included within dedicated operations below beginning in the third quarter of 2022.

(1)Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), in millions, exclude revenue in transit.

(2)Includes company and owner-operator trucks.

(3)Calculated based on beginning and end of month counts and represents the average number of trucks available to haul freight over the specified timeframe.

(4)Calculated excluding fuel surcharge and revenue in transit, consistent with how revenue is reported internally for segment purposes, using weighted workdays.

(5)Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), in millions, include revenue in transit at the operating segment level and, therefore does not sum with amounts presented above.

(6)Includes entire fleet of owned trailers, including trailers with leasing arrangements between Truckload and Logistics.

(7)Calculated as segment operating expenses divided by segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) including revenue in transit and related expenses at the operating segment level.

Truckload revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) decreased $11.4 million, approximately 2%, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022. Rate per loaded mile decreased 4% as a result of moderating market conditions, primarily within network. Overall volume increased 2%, a result of new business within dedicated, while network volumes decreased slightly as market conditions continued to moderate. Dedicated average trucks grew nearly 230 units compared to the same quarter in 2022, further supporting increased volume. During the same period, network average trucks declined approximately 110 units to approximately 4,470, which contributed to increased network productivity.

Truckload income from operations decreased $56.8 million, approximately 48%, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022. Factors contributing to the decrease in income from operations include a $50.9 million net gain on the sale of the Company’s Canadian facility in 2022, decreased rate per loaded mile, increased depreciation resulting from equipment growth along with inflationary unit costs for new equipment, and lower volumes within network. These items were partially offset by volume growth within dedicated. The Truckload segment’s operating ratio increased to 88.3% from 78.2% driven largely by the 930 basis point favorable impact of the net gain on the sale of the Company’s Canadian facility in the first quarter of 2022.

Intermodal

The following table presents the KPIs for our Intermodal segment for the periods indicated.


	Three Months Ended March 31,

(3)Calculated using rail revenues excluding fuel surcharge and revenue in transit, consistent with how revenue is reported internally for segment purposes.

(4)Calculated as segment operating expenses divided by segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) including revenue in transit and related expenses at the operating segment level.

Intermodal revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) decreased $36.0 million, approximately 12%, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022, primarily due to a 9% decrease in orders. Revenue per order decreased $51, or 2%, due to a lower rate per mile and shorter length of haul.

Intermodal income from operations decreased $8.9 million, approximately 23%, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022. Factors contributing to the decrease in income from operations are primarily due to the items cited above, partially offset by a decrease in rail-related costs.

Logistics

The following table presents the KPI for our Logistics segment for the periods indicated.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Operating ratio (1)	95.2	%	92.3	%

(1)Calculated as segment operating expenses divided by segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) including revenue in transit and related expenses at the operating segment level.

Logistics revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) decreased $163.5 million, approximately 30%, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022. This was primarily due to a decrease in brokerage revenue per order and volume due to moderating market conditions, as well as lower port dray revenues.

Logistics income from operations decreased $23.4 million, approximately 56%, in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022. This is due to the factors listed above, partially offset by a decrease in third-party carrier costs.

Other

Other income from operations increased $68.6 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a $59.0 million expense for an adverse judgment related to the former owners of WSL and $5.2 million of expense related to an adverse audit assessment over the applicability of prior period state sales tax in 2022. Operating income from our leasing business also increased in 2023, further contributing to the quarter over quarter increase in income from operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary uses of cash are working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividend payments, and debt service requirements. Additionally, we may use cash for acquisitions and other investing and financing activities. Working capital is required principally to ensure we are able to run the business and have sufficient funds to satisfy maturing short-term debt and operational expenses. Our capital expenditures consist primarily of transportation equipment and information technology.

Historically, our primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operations. In addition, we have a $250.0 million revolving credit facility and a $150.0 million accounts receivable facility, for which our combined available capacity as of March 31, 2023 was $322.4 million. We anticipate that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet our requirements for the foreseeable future. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that we will obtain these funds through additional borrowings, equity offerings, or a combination of these potential sources of liquidity. Our ability to fund future operating expenses and capital expenditures, as well as our ability to meet future debt service obligations or refinance our indebtedness, will depend on our future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial, and other factors beyond our control.

The following table presents our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and outstanding debt as of the dates shown.


(in millions)	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	389.8	$	385.7

Debt

As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our credit agreements and the agreements governing our senior notes. See Note 8, Debt and Credit Facilities, for information about our financing arrangements.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the changes to our net cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the periods indicated.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2023		2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	183.1	$	135.6

Net cash used in financing activities	(22.5)		(73.4)

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $47.5 million, approximately 35%, in the first three months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was a result of an increase in net income adjusted for various noncash charges and a decrease in cash used by working capital. Working capital changes were driven by an increase in cash provided by trade accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in cash used for payables and other liabilities due in part to a $59.0 million adverse judgment related to a lawsuit with former owners of WSL in 2022.

Table of Contents

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $122.1 million in the first three months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in cash used was primarily driven by an increase in net capital expenditures and the funding of a note receivable in 2023 for $10.0 million.

Net Capital Expenditures

The following table sets forth our net capital expenditures for the periods indicated.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2023		2022
Purchases of transportation equipment	$	143.1	$	60.3
Purchases of other property and equipment	12.5		14.4
Proceeds from sale of property and equipment	(34.7)		(64.8)
Net capital expenditures	$	120.9	$	9.9

Net capital expenditures increased $111.0 million in the first three months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was driven by an $82.8 million increase in purchases of transportation equipment mainly due to replacement equipment, growth capital, and higher costs for new equipment, as well as a $30.1 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. The decrease in proceeds is primarily due to the sale of our Canadian facility in the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by more equipment sales in 2023.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $50.9 million, approximately 69%, in the first three months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The main driver of the decrease in net cash used was a $60.0 million repayment of a private placement note in March of 2022.

Other Considerations that Could Affect Our Results, Liquidity, or Capital Resources

Factors that Could Result in a Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually using the discounted cash flow, guideline public company, and guideline transaction methods, as applicable, to calculate the fair values of our reporting units. Key inputs used in the discounted cash flow approach include growth rates for sales and operating profit, perpetuity growth assumptions, and discount rates. Key inputs used in the guideline public company and guideline transaction methods include EBITDA valuation multiples of comparable companies and transactions. If interest rates rise or EBITDA valuation multiples of comparable companies and transactions decline, the calculated fair values of our reporting units will decrease, which could impact the results of our goodwill impairment tests.

We will perform our annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment as of October 31, 2023, with such analysis expected to be finalized during the fourth quarter. As part of our annual process of updating our goodwill impairment evaluation, we will assess the impact of current operating results and our resulting management actions to determine whether they have an impact on the long-term valuation of reporting units and the related recoverability of our goodwill.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations

See the disclosure under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contractual Obligations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2022. There were no material changes to our contractual obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Executive Change of Control Severance Plan

On April 24, 2023 and effective as of such date, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board adopted the Schneider National, Inc. Executive Change of Control Severance Plan (the “Change of Control Severance Plan”) to provide certain key employees with specified levels of compensation and benefits in the event of a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change of control.

Table of Contents

The Change of Control Severance Plan applies to the following executives:

a.Tier 1 Participant: Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”);

b.Tier 2 Participants: Senior executives who are direct reports to the CEO or who are otherwise designated by the Committee as Tier 2 Participants; and

c.Tier 3 Participants: Employees designed by the Committee as Tier 3 Participants.

In general, participants in the Change of Control Severance Plan become eligible to receive compensation under the plan upon an involuntary termination of employment (i.e. a termination without cause or a resignation for good reason) occurring within a two-year period following a change of control (a “Qualifying Termination”). Upon a Qualifying Termination, the Change of Control Severance Plan provides for the participant to receive the following payments and benefits, which are in addition to any accrued but unpaid obligations of the Company to the Participant: (i) any earned but unpaid annual cash bonus, (ii) a severance payment equal to the product of (x) participant’s monthly base salary plus target bonus amount divided by twelve, multiplied by (y) the number of months in the applicable “Severance Period”, (iii) a pro rata annual bonus payment based on actual results (or target if actual results are not determinable), and (iv) a cash payment equal to the amount of the active employee premium for continued medical coverage for the participant and eligible dependents (as elected by the participant prior to the participant’s Qualifying Termination) multiplied by the number of months in the participant’s Severance Period. The participant must sign a release of claims in favor of the company to receive the various compensation and benefits provided for in the Change of Control Severance Plan and the amounts described above are paid in a cash lump sum payment, generally, shortly after the participant’s Qualifying Termination. The respective Severance Periods are as follows: 30 months for the Tier 1 Participant, 24 months for Tier 2 Participants, and 18 months for Tier 3 Participants.

If any participant’s payments under the Change of Control Severance Plan when aggregated with any other compensation due to the participant would trigger “golden parachute” excise taxes under the Internal Revenue Code, the payments to the participant will be reduced to limit or avoid the “golden parachute” excise tax, if and to the extent such reduction would produce a more favorable after-tax result for the participant.

The Change of Control Severance Plan does not provide for any payments or benefits upon a participant’s termination for cause or voluntary resignation without good reason or due to the death or disability of the participant. Moreover, the Change of Control Severance Plan does not modify the treatment of any outstanding equity or equity-based awards held by the participant.

The Committee may generally amend or modify the Change of Control Severance Plan; however, any amendment that reduces payments may only be effective with one year’s advance written notice to impacted participants and no amendment reducing payments under the Change of Control Severance Plan may occur during the two year period following a change of control.

The foregoing description is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Change of Control Severance Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.
