NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YRC Worldwide Inc. and Subsidiaries
(Unaudited)

Certain of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contain forward-looking statements, as described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

1. Description of Business

YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), one of the largest transportation service providers in the world, is a holding company that, through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and its interest in a Chinese joint venture, offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. We have one of the largest, most comprehensive less-than-truckload ("LTL") networks in North America with local, regional, national and international capabilities. Through our team of experienced service professionals, we offer expertise in heavyweight shipments and flexible supply chain solutions, ensuring customers can ship industrial, commercial and retail goods with confidence. Our reporting segments include the following:

YRC Freight is the reporting segment that focuses on longer haul business opportunities in national, regional and international services. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Inc. and Reimer Express, a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.

Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. Regional Transportation is comprised of USF Holland Inc. (“Holland”), New Penn Motor Express, Inc. (“New Penn”) and USF Reddaway Inc. (“Reddaway”). These companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

At September 30, 2013, approximately 77% of our labor force is subject to collective bargaining agreements, which predominantly expire in March 2015.

2. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in non-majority owned affiliates, or those in which we do not have control where the entity is either not a variable interest entity or we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for on the equity method.

We make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have prepared the Consolidated Financial Statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these financial statements herein have been made. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Assets Held for Sale

When we plan to dispose of property or equipment by sale, the asset is recorded in the financial statements at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value, less cost to sell, and is reclassified to assets held for sale. Additionally, after such reclassification, there is no further depreciation taken on the asset. For an asset to be classified as held for sale, management must approve and commit to a formal plan, the sale should be anticipated during the ensuing year and the asset must be actively marketed, be available for immediate sale, and meet certain other specified criteria. We use level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of each property considered held for sale.


7

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the net book value of assets held for sale was $10.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively. This amount is included in “Property and Equipment” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recorded charges of $0.6 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $0.6 million and $12.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, to reduce properties held for sale to estimated fair value, less cost to sell. These charges are included in “(Gains) losses on property disposals, net” in the accompanying statements of consolidated comprehensive loss.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013:

Restricted amounts held in escrow are invested in money market accounts and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified the amortization of our net pension loss totaling $3.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net loss. This reclassification is a component of net periodic pension cost and is discussed in the "Employee Benefits" footnote.

3. Liquidity

For a description of our outstanding debt, please refer to the "Debt and Financing" footnote to our consolidated financial statements.

Credit Facility Covenants

On November 12, 2013, YRC Worldwide entered into an amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement Amendment") and its ABL facility (together the "Amendments"), which, among other things, resets future covenants regarding minimum Consolidated EBITDA, maximum Total Leverage Ratio and minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in Amendments, if applicable) until December 31, 2014 and resets the minimum cash balance requirement.

The covenants as of September 30, 2013 and the amended covenants for each of the remaining test periods are as follows:
 
Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending
Minimum Consolidated
EBITDA
 
Maximum Total
Leverage Ratio
 
Minimum Interest

September 30, 2014
$245,000,000

December 31, 2014
$260,000,000
 
6.2 to 1.00
 
1.40 to 1.00

The Credit Agreement Amendment resets the minimum available cash requirement by providing that the minimum cash requirement will be $100.0 million for the period from November 12, 2013 through December 31, 2013, $50.0 million for the period from January 1, 2014 through January 31, 2014 and $100.0 million for the period from February 1, 2014 thereafter at all times; provided

Table of Contents

that, if Pro Forma Consolidated EBITDA (described below) is greater than or equal to $375.0 million on or prior to February 1, 2014, the minimum available cash requirement will be $50.0 million at all times.

Further, the Credit Agreement Amendments, among other things, (i) includes a new definition of Pro Forma Consolidated EBITDA added for the purposes of the minimum available cash requirement as described above to be calculated by adding to Consolidated EBITDA, subject to certain limitations, the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and initiatives and synergies associated with any restructuring transactions (and implementation thereof) (but not to exceed the actual amount deducted from revenues in determining Consolidated Net Income for any such costs and expenses), in the case of each such restructuring transaction (and implementation thereof), occurring on or after November 12, 2013, and projected by us in good faith to be reasonably anticipated to be realizable within ninety (90) days of the date thereof; (ii) increases the interest rate and commitment fee payable under our credit agreement by 50 basis points; (iii) waives the requirement to continue to cash collateralize letters of credit with existing net cash proceeds received from asset sales up to $12.5 million (including release of such cash proceeds); (iv) requires payment of an amendment fee to each consenting lender of 1.0% of their outstanding exposure; and (v) adds a new “Event of Default” that requires the  6% Convertible Senior Notes to be repaid, refinanced, replaced, restructured or extended on or prior to February 1, 2014 using either cash generated from the sale of qualified equity by the Borrower, certain qualified equity issuances by the Borrower or certain permitted indebtedness.

On November 12, 2013, YRC Receivables, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an amendment to the ABL facility, which, among other things, resets the minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant (as defined in the ABL facility) for each of the remaining test periods in a manner identical to the amendment of minimum Consolidated EBITDA in the Credit Agreement Amendment and increases the interest rate payable under the ABL Facility by 50 basis points. The Company agreed to pay all consenting lenders a fee equal to 1.0% of their outstanding loans and unused commitments.

Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in our Amendments, is a non-GAAP measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and further adjusted for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including permitted restructuring professional fees, certain one-time cash restructuring charges occurring on or after November 12, 2013 in an aggregate amount not to exceed $40.0 million and results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations.

Our adjusted EBITDA for the four quarters ended September 30, 2013 was $274.8 million compared to the covenant requirement of $260 million.

Our minimum cash balance as of September 30, 2013 was $181.2 million.

The credit facilities were also amended to obtain relief from any potential going concern language in our independent registered public accounting firm's audit opinion to be delivered in connection with our December 31, 2013 financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity Including Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our $400 million ABL facility and any prospective net operating cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents and availability under the ABL facility totaling $233.7 million with a $388.7 million borrowing base under our ABL facility. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our cash flow from operating activities used net cash of $3.0 million.

Our principal uses of cash are to fund our operations, including making contributions to our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds, and to meet our other cash obligations including, but not limited to, paying cash interest and principal on our funded debt, payments on our equipment leases, letter of credit fees under our credit facilities and funding capital expenditures.

We have a considerable amount of indebtedness. As of September 30, 2013, we had $1,359.1 million in aggregate par value of outstanding indebtedness, which may increase over time as a portion of our indebtedness accrues paid-in-kind interest. Of that amount, $69.4 million matures on February 15, 2014, $325.5 million matures on September 30, 2014 and $664.7 million matures on March 31, 2015. We also have considerable future funding obligations for our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds. We expect our funding obligations for the remainder of 2013 for our single-employer pension plans and multi-employer pension funds will be $13.7 million and $22.5 million, respectively. In addition, we have, and will continue to have, substantial operating lease obligations. As of September 30, 2013, our minimum rental expense under operating leases for the remainder of the year is $13.3 million. As of September 30, 2013, our operating lease obligations through 2025 totaled $165.6 million and is expected to increase as we lease additional revenue equipment.

Table of Contents

Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $56.5 million and $48.1 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund replacement engines and trailer refurbishments for our revenue fleet and capitalized costs for our network facilities and technology infrastructure. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we entered into new operating lease commitments for revenue equipment for $44.9 million, payable over the average lease term of six years. In light of our recent operating results and liquidity needs, we have deferred certain capital expenditures and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future, including the remainder of 2013. As a result, the average age of our fleet is increasing, which may affect our maintenance costs and operational efficiency unless we are able to obtain suitable lease financing to meet our replacement equipment needs.

In the third quarter of 2013, driven, in part, by a decline of our service levels due to driver shortages and transition issues related to the network optimization plan implemented in May 2013, our YRC Freight reporting segment experienced decreases in our financial performance compared to our management forecast. As a result, we significantly decreased our expectations regarding our future financial performance and entered into the Amendments described above.

The Amended Credit Agreement requires us to repay, refinance, replace, restructure or extend our 6% Convertible Senior Notes on or prior to February 1, 2014 using either cash generated from the sale of qualified equity by the Borrower, certain qualified equity issuances by the Borrower or certain permitted indebtedness. These actions with regard to the 6% Convertible Senior Notes are outside of our control and, as a result, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in taking these actions. In the event that we are unable to take these actions we will need to refinance or restructure our debt or seek an amendment or waiver from our lenders or otherwise we will be in default under our Amended Credit Agreement, which would enable lenders thereunder to accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding and exercise remedies with respect to collateral. In the event that our lenders under our Amended Credit Agreement demand payment, we will not have sufficient cash to repay such indebtedness. In addition, a default under our credit facilities or the lenders exercising their remedies thereunder would trigger cross-default provisions in our other indebtedness and certain other operating agreements.

We do not expect our liquidity will allow us to retire our borrowings as they mature in September of 2014 and thereafter and therefore we will be required to refinance or restructure the portions of our debt that matures in September of 2014 and March of 2015. Our recent and forecasted operating results may have an adverse effect on our ability to complete such restructuring or refinancing. The refinancing or restructuring of these debt obligations is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that such transaction will occur, or if it does occur, on what terms.

Our ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months is dependent on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. In the near term, we must repay, refinance, replace, restructure or extend our 6% Convertible Senior Notes on or prior to February 1, 2014 in order to comply with the terms of our Amended Credit Agreement and thereafter we will need to refinance or restructure our other debt obligations prior to their upcoming maturities in 2014 and 2015. Other factors include:

achieving forecasted results in order to comply with covenants and other terms of our credit facilities so as to have access to the borrowings available to us under our credit facilities;

securing suitable lease financing arrangements to replace revenue equipment;

generating operating cash flows that are sufficient to meet the minimum cash balance requirement under our credit facilities, cash requirements for pension contributions to our single-employer pension plan and our multi-employer pension funds, cash interest and principal payments on our funded debt, payments on our equipment leases, letter of credit fees under our credit facilities and for capital expenditures or additional lease payments for new revenue equipment.

There can be no assurance that management will be successful or that such plans will be achieved.

These conditions raise significant uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the foregoing uncertainties.

Conversions

Our 10% Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the "Series A Notes") were convertible into our common stock beginning July 22, 2013 at the conversion price per share of $34.0059 and a conversion rate of 29.4067 common shares per $1,000 of Series A Notes. As of September 30, 2013 and November 7, 2013, there was $173.5 million and $174.8 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes outstanding that are convertible into approximately 5.6 million shares of our common stock at the maturity date. There were no Series A Note conversions from September 30, 2013 through November 7, 2013.

Our 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the "Series B Notes") are convertible into our common stock, at any time at the conversion price per share of approximately $18.5334 and a conversion rate of 53.9567 common shares per $1,000 of the Series B Notes (such conversion price and conversion rate applying also to the Series B Notes make whole premium). As of September 30, 2013, the effective conversion price and conversion rate for our Series B Notes due 2015 (after taking into account the make whole premium) was $16.0056 and 62.4781 common shares per $1,000 of Series B Notes, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $12.4 million and $29.1 million of aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes were converted into 0.8 million and 1.9 million shares of our common stock, respectively, which includes the make whole premium.  Upon conversion, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded $6.2 million of additional interest expense representing the $2.7 million make whole premium and $3.5 million of accelerated amortization of the discount on converted Series B Notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded $15.2 million of additional interest expense representing the $6.6 million make whole premium and $8.6 million of accelerated amortization of the discount on converted Series B Notes. As of September 30, 2013, there was $68.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes outstanding that are convertible into approximately 4.2 million shares of our common stock (after taking into account the make whole premium). There were no Series B Note conversions from September 30, 2013 through November 7, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013 and November 7, 2013, a maximum of 17,600 shares of our common stock was available for future issuance upon conversion of the Convertible 6% Senior Notes.  The limitation on the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 6% Notes applies on a pro rata basis to the $69.4 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 6% Notes.

We expect to contribute $62.6 million to our company-sponsored pension plans in 2013 of which we have contributed $48.9 million through September 30, 2013.

6. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was (19.7)% and 7.9%, respectively, compared to 148.4% and 11.5%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The significant items impacting the 2013 rate include a net state tax provision, certain permanent items and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2013. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets were subject to a valuation allowance.
The tax provision for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 by rule is derived by subtracting the tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from the tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, each of which is computed as a percentage of the year-to-date pre-tax loss, based on the projected annual effective tax rate at the time. Notwithstanding the similar expected annual net tax benefit from period to period, that projected rate decreased substantially from June 30 to September 30, due to the change in expectations of future performance discussed in Note 3, Liquidity, requiring a reversal of a previously recorded benefit.
Since our debt recapitalization in July 2011, we have experienced a significant change in ownership of our stock, as measured for federal income tax purposes. On July 25, 2013, we reached the threshold that triggered a change in ownership defined by Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 382.  This change will likely limit substantially the use of net operating loss carryovers ("NOLs") generated prior to July 25, 2013 to offset future taxable income.  While the Section 382 change may adversely affect future cash flow, it has no impact on our current financial statements.  The deferred tax asset resulting from the existing NOLs for which a Section 382 change limits financial statement recognition is already fully offset by a valuation allowance.

8. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We calculate basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing our net earnings (loss) by our weighted-average shares outstanding at the end of the period. The calculation for diluted earnings per share adjusts the weighted average shares outstanding for our dilutive stock options and restricted stock using the treasury stock method and adjusts both net earnings and the weighted average shares outstanding for our dilutive convertible securities using the if-converted method. The if-converted method assumes that all of our

dilutive convertible securities would have been converted at the beginning of the period. Our calculation for basic and dilutive earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30 is as follows:

1 The 6% Notes and Series B Notes are recorded at a discount that accelerates upon conversion and contain a make-whole interest premium that would require us to pay interest as if the security was held to maturity upon conversion. These would result in incremental expense under the if-converted method.

Given our net loss position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were no dilutive securities for these periods.

Anti-dilutive options and share units were 834,400 and 766,900 at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Anti-dilutive 6% Note conversion shares, including the make whole premium, were 17,600 at September 30, 2013 and 2012. Anti-dilutive Series A Note conversion shares were 5,099,000 and 4,625,000 at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Anti-dilutive Series B Note conversion shares, including the make whole premiums, were 4,219,000 and 6,345,000 at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

9. Business Segments

We report financial and descriptive information about our reporting segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We evaluate segment performance primarily on revenue and operating income.

We have the following reportable segments, which are strategic business units that offer complementary transportation services to our customers:

YRC Freight is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in national, regional and international services. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Inc. and Reimer Express, a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.
Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. The Regional Transportation companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.


14

Table of Contents

We charge management fees and other corporate service fees to our reportable segments based on the direct benefits received or an overhead allocation basis. Corporate and other operating losses represent residual operating expenses of the holding company. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, an investment in an equity method affiliate and deferred debt issuance costs. Intersegment revenue primarily relates to transportation services between our segments.

10. Network Optimization

In the second quarter of 2013, our YRC Freight reporting segment commenced its plan to optimize its freight network. This optimization reduced the number of handling and relay locations. Costs associated with this plan, which consist of employee separation costs and contract termination, asset impairments and other costs, are recorded at either their contractual amounts or their fair value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded $7.8 million related to these costs in the YRC Freight reporting segment. We did not record any expense related to these costs for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Charges for the network optimization are included in "Salaries, wages and employees' benefits" as it relates to employee separation costs and "Operating expenses and supplies" as is relates to contract termination and other costs in the accompanying statements of consolidated comprehensive loss. In addition to the charges detailed below, we have recorded impairment charges on facilities that are part of the network optimization totaling $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. We did not record any impairment charges on facilities that are part of the network optimization for the three months ended September 30, 2013. These charges are included in "(Gains) losses on property disposals, net" in the accompanying statements of consolidated comprehensive loss. A rollforward of the accrual is as follows:

11. Commitments, Contingencies, and Uncertainties

ABF Lawsuit

On November 1, 2010, ABF Freight System, Inc. (“ABF”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas against several parties, including our subsidiaries YRC Inc., New Penn Motor Express, Inc. and USF Holland Inc. and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the local Teamster unions that are party to the National Master Freight Agreement (“NMFA”), alleging violation of the NMFA due to modifications to the NMFA that provided relief to our subsidiaries without providing the same relief to ABF. The complaint sought to have the modifications to the NMFA declared null and void and damages of $750.0 million from the named defendants. We believe the allegations are without merit.

On December 17, 2010, the District Court dismissed the complaint. ABF appealed the dismissal on January 18, 2011 to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit. On July 6, 2011, the Court of Appeals vacated the District Court's dismissal of the litigation on jurisdictional grounds and remanded the case back to the District Court for further proceedings. ABF filed an amended complaint on October 12, 2011, containing allegations consistent with the original complaint. Our subsidiaries filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On August 1, 2012, the District Court dismissed ABF's amended complaint without prejudice. ABF appealed the dismissal to the Court of Appeals, and, on August 30, 2013, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision. It is unknown at this time if ABF will elect to seek review of the Court of Appeals’ decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.  If ABF were to seek such review, we believe we have meritorious defenses to this case. Therefore, we have not recorded any liability for this matter.

On February 7, 2011, a putative class action was filed by Bryant Holdings LLC ("Bryant") in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas on behalf of purchasers of our common stock between April 24, 2008 and November 2, 2009, inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking damages under the federal securities laws for statements and/or omissions allegedly made by us and the individual defendants during the Class Period which plaintiffs claimed to be false and misleading.

The individual defendants are former officers of our Company. No current officers or directors were named in the lawsuit.
The parties participated in voluntary mediation between March 11, 2013 and April 15, 2013. The mediation resulted in the execution of a mutually acceptable definitive agreement by the parties, which agreement remains subject to approval by the court. Court approval cannot be assured. Substantially all of the payments contemplated by the settlement will be covered by our liability insurance. The self-insured retention on this matter has been accrued as of September 30, 2013.

Other Legal Matters

We are involved in other litigation or proceedings that arise in ordinary business activities. We insure against these risks to the extent we deem prudent, but no assurance can be given that the nature or amount of such insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings. Many of these insurance policies contain self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent. Based on our current assessment of information available as of the date of these financial statements, we believe that our financial statements include adequate provisions for estimated costs and losses that may be incurred within the litigation and proceedings to which we are a party.

12. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

Guarantees of the 6% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2014

On February 23, 2010 and August 3, 2010, we issued $70 million in aggregate principal amount of 6% convertible senior notes due 2014 (the “6% Notes”). In connection with the 6% Notes, the following wholly owned subsidiaries of YRC Worldwide have

issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the notes: YRC Inc., YRC Enterprise Services, Inc., Roadway LLC, Roadway Next Day Corporation, YRC Regional Transportation, Inc., USF Holland Inc., USF Reddaway Inc., USF Glen Moore Inc. and YRC Logistics Services, Inc. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several, subject to customary release provisions.

The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because we do not believe that such separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of YRC Worldwide or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

The following represents condensed consolidating financial information as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, with respect to the financial position and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, for results of operations and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 for the Statement of cash flows of YRC Worldwide and its subsidiaries. The Parent column presents the financial information of YRC Worldwide, the primary obligor of the 6% Notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the 6% Notes. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries, including those subsidiaries that are governed by foreign laws and YRCW Receivables LLC, the special-purpose entity that is associated with our ABL facility.

Guarantees of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes
On July 22, 2011, we issued $140 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series A Notes and $100 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series B Notes (collectively, the “Convertible Secured Notes”). In connection with the Convertible Secured Notes, the following wholly owned subsidiaries of YRC Worldwide issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the New Convertible Secured Notes: YRC Inc., YRC Enterprise Services, Inc., Roadway LLC, Roadway Reverse Logistics, Inc., Roadway Express International, Inc., Roadway Next Day Corporation, New Penn Motor Express Inc., YRC Regional Transportation, Inc., USF Holland Inc., USF Reddaway Inc., USF Glen Moore Inc., YRC Logistics Services, Inc., USF Bestway Inc., USF Dugan Inc., USF RedStar LLC, YRC Mortgages, LLC, YRC Association Solutions Inc., YRC International Investments Inc., and Express Lane Services Inc. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several, subject to customary release provisions.
The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because we do not believe that such separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of YRC Worldwide or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.
The following represents condensed consolidating financial information as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, with respect to the financial position and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, for results of operations and nine months ended September 30, 2013 for the statement of cash flows of YRC Worldwide and its subsidiaries. The Parent column presents the financial information of YRC Worldwide, the primary obligor of the New Convertible Secured Notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the New Convertible Secured Notes. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries, including those subsidiaries that are governed by foreign laws and YRCW Receivables LLC, the special-purpose entity that is associated with our ABL facility.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report. MD&A and certain Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements include those preceded by, followed by or characterized by words such as “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “project,” “forecast,” “propose,” “plan,” “designed,” “estimate,” “enable” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and are subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, uncertainties and contingencies, known and unknown, many of which are beyond our control. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results could differ materially from those predicted in such forward-looking statements because of a number of factors, including (without limitation):
our ability to generate sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash needs and future cash commitments, including (without limitation) our obligations related to our indebtedness and lease and pension funding requirements, and our ability to achieve increased cash flows through improvement in operations;
the pace of recovery in the overall economy, including (without limitation) customer demand in the retail and manufacturing sectors;
the success of our management team in implementing its strategic plan and operational and productivity improvements, including (without limitation) our continued ability to meet high on-time and quality delivery performance standards and our ability to increase volume and yield, and the impact of those improvements on our future liquidity and profitability;
our ability to comply with debt covenants and our cash reserve requirement;
our ability to refinance or restructure our indebtedness, a substantial portion of which matures in late 2014 or early 2015, in light of our recent operating results or otherwise;
our ability to obtain amendments or waivers to our credit facilities prior to any breach in our credit facility financial covenants;
our ability to finance the maintenance, acquisition and replacement of revenue equipment and other necessary capital expenditures;
our dependence on our information technology systems in our network operations and the production of accurate information, and the risk of system failure, inadequacy or security breach;
changes in equity and debt markets;
inclement weather;
price and availability of fuel;
sudden changes in the cost of fuel or the index upon which we base our fuel surcharge and the effectiveness of our fuel surcharge program in protecting us against fuel price volatility;
competition and competitive pressure on service and pricing;
expense volatility, including (without limitation) volatility due to changes in rail service or pricing for rail service;
our ability to comply and the cost of compliance with federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations, including (without limitation) laws and regulations for the protection of employee safety and health (including new hours-of-service regulations) and the environment;
terrorist attack;
labor relations, including (without limitation) the continued support of our union employees for our strategic plan, the impact of work rules, work stoppages, strikes or other disruptions, our obligations to multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans, wage requirements and employee satisfaction;
the impact of claims and litigation to which we are or may become exposed; and
other risks and contingencies, including (without limitation) the risk factors that are included in our reports filed with the SEC, including those described under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, including this quarterly report.

Overview

MD&A includes the following sections:

The "third quarter" and "first three quarters" of the years discussed below refers to the three and nine months ended September 30, respectively.
Our Business
We are a holding company that, through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and our interest in a Chinese joint venture, offers our customers a wide range of transportation services. We have one of the largest, most comprehensive less-than-truckload ("LTL") networks in North America with local, regional, national and international capabilities. Through our team of experienced service professionals, we offer industry-leading expertise in heavyweight shipments and flexible supply chain solutions, ensuring customers can ship industrial, commercial and retail goods with confidence.
We measure the performance of our business on both a consolidated basis and a reporting segment basis. We use several performance metrics, but rely primarily upon (without limitation) operating revenue, operating income (loss), and operating ratio. We also use certain non-GAAP financial measures as secondary measures to assess our operating performance.
Operating Revenue: Our operating revenue has two primary components: volume (commonly evaluated using number of shipments and weight per shipment) and yield or price (commonly evaluated on a dollar per hundredweight basis). Yield includes fuel surcharge revenue, which is common in the trucking industry and represents an amount charged to customers that adjusts with changing fuel prices. We base our fuel surcharges on a published national index and adjust them weekly. Rapid material changes in the index or our cost of fuel can positively or negatively impact our revenue and operating income versus prior periods, as there is a lag in our adjustment of base rates in response to changes in fuel surcharge. We believe that fuel surcharge is an accepted and important component of the overall pricing of our services to our customers. Without an industry accepted fuel surcharge program, our base pricing for our transportation services would require numerous changes. We believe the distinction between base rates and fuel surcharge has blurred over time, and it is impractical to clearly separate all the different factors that influence the price that our customers are willing to pay. In general, under our present fuel surcharge program, we believe rising fuel costs are beneficial to us and falling fuel costs are detrimental to us in the short term.

Operating Income (Loss): Operating income (loss) is our operating revenue less operating expenses. Our consolidated operating income (loss) includes certain corporate charges that are not allocated to our YRC Freight and Regional Transportation reporting segments.

Operating Ratio: Operating ratio is a common operating performance metric used in the trucking industry. It is calculated as (i) 100 percent (ii) minus the result of dividing operating income by operating revenue or (iii) plus the result of dividing operating loss by operating revenue, and expressed as a percentage.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess our performance. These include (without limitation) adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow (deficit):

Adjusted EBITDA: a non-GAAP measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and further adjusted for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees and results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations as defined in our credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects our core operating performance and to measure compliance with financial covenants in our credit facilities.

30

Table of Contents

Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Deficit): a non-GAAP measure that reflects our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus gross capital expenditures and excludes restructuring professional fees included in operating cash flow.

Our non-GAAP financial measures have the following limitations:
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to fund restructuring professional fees, letter of credit fees, service interest or principal payments on our outstanding debt;
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
Equity based compensation is an element of our long-term incentive compensation package, although adjusted EBITDA excludes employee equity-based compensation expense when presenting our ongoing operating performance for a particular period;
Adjusted free cash flow (deficit) excludes the cash usage by our restructuring professional fees, debt issuance costs, equity issuance costs and principal payments on our outstanding debt and the resulting reduction in our liquidity position from those cash outflows; and
Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow (deficit) differently than we do, potentially limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and use our non-GAAP measures as secondary measures.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Our consolidated results include the consolidated results of our YRC Freight and Regional Transportation reporting segments as well as any unallocated corporate charges. A more detailed discussion of the operating results of our segments is presented in the "Reporting Segment Results of Operations" section below.

Third Quarter of 2013 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2012

Our consolidated operating revenue increased 1.3% during the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to higher volumes at our Regional Transportation reporting segment, partially offset by decreases in yield and volume at our YRC Freight reporting segment over the comparable prior year period.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2013 increased $37.4 million or 3.1% compared to the same period in 2012 primarily related to a $12.2 million increase in purchased transportation, a $10.8 million increase in salaries, wages and employees' benefits, a $9.0 million increase in operating expenses and supplies and a $3.1 million increase in other operating expenses.

The $12.2 million increase in purchased transportation was driven by increased purchased rail transportation miles at our YRC Freight reporting segment largely in conjunction with our network optimization initiative.
The $10.8 million increase in salaries, wages and employees' benefits was largely due to a $9.8 million or 2.7% increase in wages driven by increased volumes at our Regional Transportation reporting segment and a $2.2 million increase in workers' compensation expense driven by unfavorable development on prior year claims.

31

Table of Contents

The $9.0 million increase in operating expenses and supplies was primarily driven by a $5.4 million increase in our vehicle maintenance expense to support our aging fleet.
The $3.1 million increase in other operating expenses was primarily driven by a $4.4 million increase in our bodily injury and property damage expense.

Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012 was (19.7)% and 148.4%, respectively. Significant items impacting the third quarter 2013 rate include a net state tax provision, certain permanent items and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2013. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets are subject to a valuation allowance.
The tax provision for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 by rule is derived by subtracting the tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from the tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, each of which is computed as a percentage of the year-to-date pre-tax loss, based on the projected annual effective tax rate at the time. Notwithstanding the similar expected annual net tax benefit from period to period, that projected rate decreased substantially from June 30 to September 30, due to the change in expectations of future performance discussed in Note 3, Liquidity, requiring a reversal of a previously recorded benefit.

First Three Quarters of 2013 Compared to the First Three Quarters of 2012

Our consolidated operating revenue decreased 0.7% during the first three quarters of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to lower volumes at our YRC Freight segment over the comparable prior year period.

Operating expenses for the first three quarters of 2013 decreased $60.1 million or 1.6% compared to the same period in 2012 primarily related to a $20.7 million decrease in other operating expenses, a $19.5 million decrease in salaries, wages and employees' benefits and a $16.4 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies.

The $20.7 million decrease in other operating expenses was primarily driven by a $12.5 million decrease in our bodily injury and property damage expense due to our settlement initiatives and a $5.9 million decrease in cargo claims driven by favorable claim development and lower shipping volumes.
The $19.5 million decrease in salaries, wages and employees' benefits was largely due to a $11.4 million or 11.1% reduction in workers' compensation expense driven by safety initiatives and settlement activity that are reducing our claims outstanding as well as a $7.0 million or 1.0% decrease in benefits driven by lower expense on our single-employer pension plan.
The $16.4 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies was primarily driven by lower fuel expense of $16.2 million or 3.8%. The decrease in fuel expense is primarily a function of fewer miles driven at our YRC Freight reporting segment.

Our effective tax rate for the first three quarters of 2013 and 2012 was 7.9% and 11.5%, respectively. Significant items impacting the first three quarters of 2013 rate include a net state tax provision, certain permanent items and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2013. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets are subject to a valuation allowance.
On September 13, 2013, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS released final regulations providing guidance on the application of IRC Section 263(a) to amounts paid to acquire, produce, or improve tangible property, as well as rules for materials and supplies (“Tangible Property Regulations”). While the final regulations are generally effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, taxpayers are permitted to early adopt provisions for years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. The Company believes that the implementation of these regulations will have no material impact on its financial statements.

Reporting Segment Results of Operations

We evaluate our operating performance using our YRC Freight and Regional Transportation reporting segments:

YRC Freight is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in national, regional and international services. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Inc. and Reimer Express, a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.
Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. The Regional Transportation companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

YRC Freight Results

The decreases in the metrics above were primarily volume reductions and were driven by driver shortages during the summer months that caused declines in service throughout the network and challenges implementing our new optimized network.

Operating loss for YRC Freight was $9.7 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to operating income of $2.8 million in the same period in 2012. Operating revenue in the third quarter of 2013 was lower by $10.8 million while total costs increased by $1.7 million. The cost increase was driven by an $8.6 million increase in purchased transportation, partially offset by a $5.6 million decrease in salaries, wages and employees' benefits.

The $8.6 million increase in purchased transportation was driven by increased purchased rail transportation miles used largely in conjunction with our network optimization initiative.
The $5.6 million decrease in salary, wages and employees' benefits in the third quarter of 2013 was primarily the result of a $2.8 million reduction in workers' compensation expense driven by safety initiatives and settlement activity that has reduced our outstanding claims and a $1.8 million decrease in salaries driven by changes in management related to our network optimization initiative, partially offset by higher overtime wages.

First Three Quarters of 2013 Compared to the First Three Quarters of 2012

YRC Freight reported operating revenue of $2,360.1 million in the first three quarters of 2013, a decrease of $69.6 million or 2.9% compared to the same period in 2012.

Table of Contents


The decreases in the metrics above were primarily volume reductions driven by challenges implementing our new optimized network as well as customer mix management decisions made during 2012.

Operating loss for YRC Freight was $15.8 million in the first three quarters of 2013 compared to $58.4 million operating loss in the same period in 2012. Operating revenue in the first three quarters of 2013 was lower by $69.6 million while total costs decreased by $112.2 million. The cost decreases consisted primarily of a $52.2 million reduction in salary, wages and employees' benefits, a $32.3 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies and a $22.3 million decrease in other operating expenses.

The $52.2 million decrease in salary, wages and employees' benefits in the first three quarters of 2013 was primarily the result of a $19.3 million reduction in workers' compensation expense driven by safety initiatives and settlement activity that has reduced our outstanding claims, a $14.3 million decrease in wages driven primarily by fewer shipments and a $11.2 million reduction in benefits driven by lower expense for our single-employer pension plan.
The $32.3 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies in the first three quarters of 2013 was primarily driven by lower fuel expenses of $15.9 million and a $1.5 million decrease in vehicle maintenance expenses.
The $22.3 million decrease in other operating expenses in the first three quarters of 2013 was primarily driven by a $14.2 million decrease in our bodily injury and property damage expense due to our settlement initiatives and a $6.0 million decrease in cargo claims driven by favorable claim development compared to the first three quarters of 2012.

The increases in the metrics above were primarily driven by volume growth at each of the regional carriers.

Operating income for Regional Transportation was $20.0 million for the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $7.2 million from the same period in 2012, consisting of the $26.7 million increase in revenue offset by a $33.9 million increase in total costs. The increase in total costs was primarily driven by a $17.3 million increase in salary, wages and employees' benefits, a $6.7 million increase in operating expenses and supplies and a $5.6 million increase in other operating expenses.

The $17.3 million increase in salary, wages and employees' benefits was primarily driven by a $9.5 million increase in wages driven by increased shipping volumes and a $4.0 million increase in workers' compensation expense driven by unfavorable development of existing claims.
The $6.7 million increase in operating expenses and supplies was primarily driven by a $2.5 million increase in vehicle maintenance expense primarily driven by increased shipping volumes and our aging fleet and a $1.9 million increase in fuel expense driven by increased shipping volumes.
The $5.6 million increase in other operating expenses was driven by a $4.2 million increase in our bodily injury and property damage expense due to unfavorable development of our existing claims.

First Three Quarters of 2013 Compared to the First Three Quarters of 2012

Regional Transportation reported operating revenue of $1,297.6 million for the first three quarters of 2013, an increase of $48.4 million, or 3.9%, from the first three quarters of 2012.

The increases in the metrics above were primarily driven by volume growth at each of the regional carriers.

Operating income for Regional Transportation was $57.2 million for the first three quarters of 2013, a decrease of $4.4 million from the same period in 2012, consisting of the $48.4 million increase in revenue offset by a $52.8 million increase in total costs. The increase in total costs was primarily driven by a $33.9 million increase in salary, wages and employees' benefits, and a $12.5 million increase in operating expenses and supplies.

The $33.9 million increase in salary, wages and employees' benefits was primarily driven by an $18.1 million increase in wages and a $6.4 million increase in benefits driven by increased shipping volumes.
The $12.5 million increase in operating expenses and supplies was primarily driven by a $5.3 million increase in vehicle and facility maintenance expense primarily driven by increased shipping volumes.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As discussed in the "Our Business" section, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess performance. These measures should be considered in addition to the results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, our GAAP financial measures.

Financial Condition/Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our $400.0 million ABL facility and any prospective net operating cash flows from our operations. As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents and availability under the ABL facility totaling $233.7 million with a $388.7 million borrowing base under our ABL facility.

Our principal uses of cash are to fund our operations, including making contributions to our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds, and to meet our other cash obligations, including paying cash interest and principal on our funded debt, letter of credit fees under our credit facilities and funding capital expenditures. For the first three quarters of 2013, our cash flow from operating activities used net cash of $3.0 million.

We have a considerable amount of indebtedness. As of September 30, 2013, we had $1,359.1 million in aggregate par value of outstanding indebtedness, which may increase over time as a portion of our indebtedness accrues paid-in-kind interest. Of that amount, $69.4 million matures on February 15, 2014, $325.5 million matures on September 30, 2014 and $664.7 million matures on March 31, 2015. We intend to restructure or refinance the portions of our debt that are scheduled to mature in September of 2014 and March of 2015, however, our recent operating results may have an adverse effect on our ability to complete such restructuring or refinancing. The refinancing of these debt obligations is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that such transaction will occur, or if it does occur, on what terms. Our Standard & Poor's credit rating as of September 30, 2013 was "CCC".

We also have considerable future funding obligations for our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds. We expect our funding obligations for the remainder of the year for our single-employer pension plans and multi-employer pension funds will be $13.7 million and $22.5 million, respectively. In addition, we have, and will continue to have, substantial operating lease obligations. As of September 30, 2013, our minimum rental expense under operating leases for the remainder of the year is $13.3 million. As of September 30, 2013, our operating lease obligations through 2025 totaled $165.6 million and is expected to increase as we lease additional revenue equipment.

Our capital expenditures for the first three quarters of 2013 and 2012 were $56.5 million and $48.1 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund replacement engines and trailer refurbishments for our revenue fleet, capitalized costs for

39

Table of Contents

our network facilities and technology infrastructure. Additionally, for the first three quarters of 2013, we entered into new operating lease commitments for revenue equipment for $44.9 million, payable over the average lease term of six years. In light of our liquidity needs, we have deferred certain capital expenditures and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. We plan to procure substantially all of our new revenue equipment using operating leases for the remainder of 2013. As a result, the average age of our fleet is increasing, which may affect our maintenance costs and operational efficiency unless we are able to obtain suitable lease financing to meet our replacement equipment needs.

Credit Facility Covenants

On November 12, 2013, YRC Worldwide entered into an amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement Amendment") and its ABL facility (together the "Amendments"), which, among other things, resets future covenants regarding minimum Consolidated EBITDA, maximum Total Leverage Ratio and minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in Amendments, if applicable) until December 31, 2014 and resets the minimum cash balance requirement.

The covenant as of September 30, 2013 and the amended covenants for each of the remaining test periods are as follows:

The Credit Agreement Amendment resets the minimum available cash requirement by providing that the minimum cash requirement will be $100.0 million for the period from November 12, 2013 through December 31, 2013, $50.0 million for the period from January 1, 2014 through January 31, 2014 and $100.0 million for the period from February 1, 2014 thereafter at all times; provided that, if Pro Forma Consolidated EBITDA (described below) is greater than or equal to $375.0 million on or prior to February 1, 2014, the minimum available cash requirement will be $50.0 million at all times.

Further, the Credit Agreement Amendments, among other things, (i) includes a new definition of Pro Forma Consolidated EBITDA added for the purposes of the minimum available cash requirement as described above to be calculated by adding to Consolidated EBITDA, subject to certain limitations, the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and initiatives and synergies associated with any restructuring transactions (and implementation thereof) (but not to exceed the actual amount deducted from revenues in determining Consolidated Net Income for any such costs and expenses), in the case of each such restructuring transaction (and implementation thereof), occurring on or after November 12, 2013, and projected by us in good faith to be reasonably anticipated to be realizable within ninety (90) days of the date thereof; (ii) increases the interest rate and commitment fee payable under our credit agreement by 50 basis points; (iii) waives the requirement to continue to cash collateralize letters of credit with existing net cash proceeds received from asset sales up to $12.5 million (including release of such cash proceeds); (iv) requires payment of an amendment fee to each consenting lender of 1.0% of their outstanding exposure; and (v) adds a new “Event of Default” that requires the  6% Convertible Senior Notes to be repaid, refinanced, replaced, restructured or extended on or prior to February 1, 2014 using either cash generated from the sale of qualified equity by the Borrower, certain qualified equity issuances by the Borrower or certain permitted indebtedness.

On November 12, 2013, YRC Receivables, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an amendment to the ABL facility, which, among other things, resets the minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant (as defined in the ABL facility) for each of the remaining test periods in a manner identical to the amendment of minimum Consolidated EBITDA in the amended and restated credit agreement and increases the interest rate payable under the ABL Facility by 50 basis points. The Company agreed to pay all consenting lenders a fee equal to 1.0% of their outstanding loans and unused commitments.

Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in our Amendments, is a non-GAAP measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and further adjusted for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including permitted restructuring professional fees, certain one-time cash restructuring charges occurring on or after November 12, 2013 in an aggregate amount not to exceed $40.0 million and results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations.

Table of Contents



Our adjusted EBITDA for the four quarters ended September 30, 2013 was $274.8 million compared to the covenant requirement of $260 million.

Our minimum cash balance as of September 30, 2013 was $181.2 million.

Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity Including Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

In the third quarter of 2013, driven, in part, by a decline of our service levels due to driver shortages and transition issues related to the network optimization plan implemented in May 2013, our YRC Freight reporting segment experienced decreases in our financial performance compared to our management forecast. As a result, we significantly decreased our expectations regarding our future financial performance and entered into the Amendments described above.

The Amended Credit Agreement requires us to repay, refinance, replace, restructure or extend our 6% Convertible Senior Notes on or prior to February 1, 2014 using either cash generated from the sale of qualified equity by the Borrower, certain qualified equity issuances by the Borrower or certain permitted indebtedness. These actions with regard to the 6% Convertible Senior Notes are outside of our control and, as a result, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in taking these actions. In the event that we are unable to take these actions we will need to refinance or restructure our debt or seek an amendment or waiver from our lenders or otherwise we will be in default under our Amended Credit Agreement, which would enable lenders thereunder to accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding and exercise remedies with respect to collateral. In the event that our lenders under our Amended Credit Agreement demand payment, we will not have sufficient cash to repay such indebtedness. In addition, a default under our credit facilities or the lenders exercising their remedies thereunder would trigger cross-default provisions in our other indebtedness and certain other operating agreements.

We do not expect our liquidity will allow us to retire our borrowings as they mature in September of 2014 and thereafter and therefore we will be required to refinance or restructure the portions of our debt that matures in September of 2014 and March of 2015. Our recent and forecasted operating results may have an adverse effect on our ability to complete such restructuring or refinancing. The refinancing or restructuring of these debt obligations is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that such transaction will occur, or if it does occur, on what terms.

Our ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months is dependent on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. In the near term, we must repay, refinance, replace, restructure or extend our 6% Convertible Senior Notes prior to February 1, 2014 in order to comply with the terms of our Amended Credit Agreement and thereafter we will need to refinance or restructure our other debt obligations prior to their upcoming maturities in 2014 and 2015. Other factors include:

achieving forecasted results in order to comply with covenants and other terms of our credit facilities so as to have access to the borrowings available to us under our credit facilities;

securing suitable lease financing arrangements to replace revenue equipment;

generating operating cash flows that are sufficient to meet the minimum cash balance requirement under our credit facilities, cash requirements for pension contributions to our single-employer pension plan and our multi-employer pension funds, cash interest and principal payments on our funded debt, payments on our equipment leases, letter of credit fees under our credit facilities and for capital expenditures or additional lease payments for new revenue equipment.

There can be no assurance that management will be successful or that such plans will be achieved.

These conditions raise significant uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the foregoing uncertainties.

Cash Flows

Operating Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities was $3.0 million in the first three quarters of 2013 compared to $48.0 million in the first three quarters of 2012. This decrease in cash utilization is primarily attributable to a more favorable working capital change in other operating liabilities and a $17.2 million year-over-year reduction in net losses, partially offset by an unfavorable working capital change in accounts receivable. The favorable working capital change in other operating liabilities were driven by favorable pension

41

Table of Contents

and post-retirement and wages payable accruals. The unfavorable working capital change in accounts receivable was driven by increases in our days sales outstanding due to a change in customer mix.

Investing Cash Flow

Investing cash flows decreased by $46.3 million during the first three quarters of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, largely driven by a reduction in proceeds from asset sales in 2013 compared to 2012. The $8.4 million increase in the acquisition of property and equipment is related to the additions of replacement engines and trailer refurbishments as well as capitalized costs for our network facilities and technology infrastructure.

Financing Cash Flow

Net cash used in financing activities for the first three quarters of 2013 was $6.3 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $19.5 million in the first three quarters of 2012. The use of cash during the first three quarters of 2013 was driven by $6.6 million of repayments on our long-term debt. During the first three quarters of 2012, we increased the net borrowings under our ABL facility by $45.0 million, which was partially offset by $20.4 million of repayments on other long-term debt from asset sale proceeds and $5.1 million in debt issuance costs.

The following sections provide aggregated information regarding our contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments as of September 30, 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are primarily exposed to the market risk associated with unfavorable movements in interest rates, foreign currencies, and fuel price volatility. The risk inherent in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss or increased expense arising from adverse changes in those factors. There have been no material changes to our market risk policies or our market risk sensitive instruments and positions as described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by the Exchange Act, we maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2013 and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We discuss legal proceedings in the “Commitments, Contingencies and Uncertainties” note to our consolidated financial statements included with this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factors set forth below, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and to fund working capital needs and capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future.
Our ability to generate cash in the future, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we are unable to meet our debt service obligations under our existing and future indebtedness, the holders of such indebtedness would have the right, following any applicable cure period, to cause the entire principal amount thereof to become immediately due and payable. If our outstanding indebtedness was accelerated, our assets will likely not be sufficient to repay in full the money owed.
We have a considerable amount of indebtedness, of which $69.4 million matures on February 15, 2014, $325.5 million matures on September 30, 2014 and $664.7 million matures on March 31, 2015.  We intend to restructure or refinance the portions of our debt which will mature in September of 2014 and March of 2015. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition. Our recent operating results may have an adverse effect on our ability to complete such restructuring or refinancing. The refinancing of these debt obligations is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that such transactions will occur, or if it does occur, on what terms. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments, including the indentures governing the 10% Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (“Series A Notes”), the 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (“Series B Notes”, together with the Series A Notes, the “convertible notes”), and the credit agreement governing our credit facilities, may limit or prevent us from taking any of these actions.
In connection with its audit of our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2013, our independent registered public accounting firm will analyze our liquidity and our ability to continue as a going concern, taking into consideration, among other things, our need to restructure or refinance our near-term maturing debt. In the event we are not able to restructure or refinance our near-term maturing debt before filing our 2013 Form 10-K, our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit report accompanying our audited financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2013 may include “going concern” language. Such “going concern” language could harm our credit rating and our ability to refinance our near-term maturing debt or otherwise obtain additional financing on acceptable terms. The occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our financial condition and liquidity.
In addition, any failure to make scheduled payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt service obligations, or to refinance or restructure our obligations on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
We incurred net losses in each of fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. We may not obtain the projected benefits and cost savings from productivity and efficiency initiatives. If we incur future net losses we may need additional capital to meet our future cash requirements and execute our business strategy.
Our business experienced net losses in each of fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. Net losses in fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $136.5 million, $354.4 million and $327.8 million, respectively. Net loss was $84.0 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2013. Contributing factors to our net losses in fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010 were the challenges facing transportation services generally as a result of the prolonged slow economic recovery, competitive pressures in the LTL industry stemming from excess capacity that resulted in lower profit margins, interest expense and financing costs, and our operating cost structure. In each of 2009 and 2011, we implemented financial restructurings to improve our balance sheet and to provide additional operating liquidity. Since our restructuring in 2011, our senior management team and board of

45

Table of Contents

directors have put strategies in place that are focused on driving productivity and efficiency improvements. These efforts have been concentrated on improving pricing and shipping volumes as well as customer mix, redeploying shared services and, in turn, driving more autonomy, responsibility and accountability to our operating companies, streamlining operations and our transportation network, and divesting non-core assets. There is no assurance that these changes and improvements will be successful, that their implementation will have a positive impact on our operating results or that we will not have to initiate additional changes and improvements in order to achieve the projected benefits and cost savings. For example, our recently reported operating results have been adversely affected by driver shortages and challenges in implementing our network optimization. If we incur future net losses, we may experience liquidity challenges and we may need to raise additional capital to meet our future cash requirements and to execute our business strategy.
We face significant liquidity challenges in the near term, which could adversely affect our financial condition.
Our ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months is dependent on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. In the near term, we must repay or refinance our 6% Convertible Senior Notes prior to February 1, 2014 in order to comply with the terms of our Amended Credit Agreement and thereafter we will need to refinance or restructure our other debt obligations prior to their upcoming maturities in 2014 and 2015. Other factors include:

achieving forecasted results in order to comply with covenants and other terms of our credit facilities so as to have access to the borrowings available to us under our credit facilities;

securing suitable lease financing arrangements to replace revenue equipment;

generating operating cash flows that are sufficient to meet the minimum cash balance requirement under our credit facilities, cash requirements for pension contributions to our single-employer pension plan and our multi-employer pension funds, cash interest and principal payments on our funded debt, payments on our equipment leases, letter of credit fees under our credit facilities and for capital expenditures or additional lease payments for new revenue equipment.

There can be no assurance that management will be successful or that such plans will be achieved.

A failure to satisfy our short-term liquidity needs would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to continue to operate our business in the ordinary course.

Item 5. Other Information

Credit Agreement Amendment
On November 12, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 22, 2011 (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders that are parties thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”). The Credit Agreement Amendment also amends the existing subsidiary guarantee to exclude certain swap obligations from the guarantee and related security. Capitalized terms used in this Item 5 that are not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement Amendment provides for an increase in the “Applicable Rate” by 0.50%, which results in a eurodollar margin for eurodollar term loans of 7.00% per annum, a commitment fee of 8.00% per annum and an alternative base rate margin for term loans of 6.00% per annum.
The Credit Agreement Amendment also amends the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to include new add backs for (i) fees, costs and expenses required to be paid in connection with the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Omnibus Amendment (as defined below) and arising as a result of the terms of the Contribution Deferral Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) one time restructuring charges incurred on or after November 12, 2013 in an aggregate amount not to exceed $40,000,000, and includes a new definition of “Pro Forma Consolidated EBITDA” to provide that for purposes of the liquidity covenant, Consolidated EBITDA shall be calculated by adding to Consolidated EBITDA the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and initiatives and synergies associated with any restructuring transactions (and implementation thereof) (but not to exceed the actual amount deducted from revenues in determining Consolidated Net Income for any such costs and expenses), in the case of each such restructuring transaction (and implementation thereof), occurring on or after November 12, 2013, and projected by the Company in good faith to be reasonably anticipated to be realizable within ninety (90) days of the date thereof (which will be added to Consolidated EBITDA as so projected until fully realized and calculated on a pro forma basis as

46

Table of Contents

though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and initiatives and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period), net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions; provided that, (i) such cost savings are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable (in the good faith determination of the Company) and (ii) to the extent that such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and initiatives and synergies are achieved through work rules under the IBT MOU, such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and initiatives and synergies shall be limited to ninety percent (90%) of the amount identified by the Company in respect thereof. Pro Forma Consolidated EBITDA shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as of the last day of the most recently ended quarter for which financial statements were required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(b) of the Credit Agreement in respect of the last twelve (12) months then ended.
The Credit Agreement Amendment also permits a going concern qualification or exception in the audit report to our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2013.
The Credit Agreement Amendment resets several financial covenant levels as set forth below.

The Credit Agreement Amendment includes a waiver of the requirement to continue to cash collateralize letters of credit with existing net cash proceeds received from asset sales up to $12.5 million (including release of such cash proceeds).
Amendments to Asset-Backed Credit Agreement and Receivables Sale Agreement
On November 12, 2013, the Company, YRCW Receivables LLC (“Receivables”) and YRC Inc., USF Reddaway Inc. and USF Holland Inc. (each of YRC Inc., USF Reddaway Inc. and USF Holland Inc. an “Originator” and collectively, the “Originators”), JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “ABL Administrative Agent”) and certain financial institutions entered into an Omnibus Amendment (the “Omnibus Amendment”) that amended each of (i) that certain Credit Agreement dated as of July 22, 2011 by and among the Company, as servicer, Receivables, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and the ABL Administrative Agent (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “ABL Credit Agreement”) and (ii) that certain Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of July 22, 2011 among the Originators, the Company, as servicer and Receivables, as buyer (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “Sale Agreement”).
