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”) is a holding company that, through wholly owned operating subsidiaries, offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. YRC Worldwide has 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 LTL 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 with national, regional and international services. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management. This reporting segment includes our LTL subsidiaries YRC Inc. (doing business as, and herein referred to as, “YRC Freight”) and Reimer Express Lines Ltd. (“YRC Reimer”). YRC Reimer is 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 and Puerto Rico.

•

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 LLC (“Holland”), New Penn Motor Express, LLC (“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, and Puerto Rico.

At June 30, 2017, approximately 78% of our labor force is subject to collective bargaining agreements, which predominantly expire in March 2019.

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. We report on a calendar year basis. The quarters of the Regional Transportation companies (with the exception of New Penn) consist of thirteen weeks that end on a Saturday either before or after the end of March, June and September, whereas all other operating segment quarters end on the natural calendar quarter end. For ease of reference, the calendar quarter end dates are used herein.

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, we have made 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. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“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, 2016.

Table of Contents

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 June 30, 2017:



			Fair Value Measurement Hierarchy
(in millions)	Total Carrying Value		Quoted prices in active market (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Restricted amounts held in escrow-current	$	54.0	$	54.0	$	—	$	—
Total assets at fair value	$	54.0	$	54.0	$	—	$	—

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 approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Equity Method Investment

On October 23, 2015, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement to sell its fifty percent equity interest in its Chinese joint venture, JHJ International Transportation Co., Ltd. (“JHJ”), for a purchase price of $16.3 million, which subsequently closed on March 30, 2016. At closing, we received proceeds of $16.3 million and paid transaction fees of $1.7 million. As of March 30, 2016, the carrying value of the investment was $22.7 million with an offsetting cumulative foreign translation adjustment of $10.4 million, resulting in a net gain on the transaction of $2.3 million. The gain on the transaction is included in “Nonoperating expenses - Other, net” in the accompanying statement of consolidated comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we reclassified the amortization of our net pension loss totaling $3.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income (loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we reclassified the amortization of our net pension loss totaling $3.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income. This reclassification is a component of net periodic pension cost and is discussed in the “Employee Benefits” footnote to the consolidated financial statements. In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we also reclassified foreign currency translation adjustments of $10.4 million related to our investment in JHJ from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income, as discussed in the “Equity Method Investment” section above.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard introduces a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The premise of the new model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will be effective for the Company for its annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Entities are allowed to transition to the new standard by either recasting prior periods or recognizing the cumulative effect using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of reviewing customer contracts, but we believe our transportation revenue recognized under the new standard will generally approximate revenue under current standards, in that we recognize transportation revenue proportionately as we perform the transportation service for our customer. The Company will formalize an assessment, including the impacts of new expanded disclosure requirements, in the second half of 2017 and plans to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective transition approach.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The ASU allows entities to choose either prospective or retrospective transition. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2017 and elected prospective application; accordingly, historical periods were not adjusted. There was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease obligation for all leases. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and liability for

Table of Contents

leases with a term of twelve months or less. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, will be required. The new standard will become effective for the Company for its annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period and requires a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires companies to present the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. All other components of net benefit cost are presented outside of any subtotal for operating income, if one is presented. The new standard is effective for the Company for its annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted for the first quarter of 2017. Companies are required to present the components of net benefit cost in the income statement retrospectively, while the guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component will be applied prospectively. The Company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not currently capitalize any portion of net benefit cost. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the amount to be reclassified to “Other, net” in nonoperating expenses from “Salaries, wages and employee benefits” in operating expenses is $1.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively, if adopted. Accordingly, the Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Debt and Financing

Our outstanding debt as of June 30, 2017 consisted of the following:



As of June 30, 2017 (in millions)	Par Value			Discount			Debt Issuance Costs			Book Value			Stated Interest Rate			Average Effective Interest Rate
Term Loan	$	635.2		$	(2.1	)	$	(9.1	)	$	624.0		8.50	%	^(a)	8.70	%
ABL Facility	—			—			—			—			N/A			N/A

(a)	Variable interest rate of 1, 3 or 6-month LIBOR, with a floor of 1.0%%, plus a fixed margin of 7.50%.

ABL Facility Availability

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our ABL Facility and any prospective net cash flow from operations. As of June 30, 2017, our availability under our ABL Facility was $82.4 million, which is derived by reducing the amount that may be advanced against eligible receivables plus eligible borrowing base cash by certain reserves imposed by the ABL Agent and our $359.7 million of outstanding letters of credit. Of the $82.4 million in availability, we do not expect to access more than $38.2 million (“Managed Accessibility”) based on our springing fixed charge coverage ratio (as set forth in our ABL Facility). Our cash and cash equivalents and Managed Accessibility was $253.4 million as of June 30, 2017.

Term Loan Amendment

On July 26, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (the “Amendment”) to the credit agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) governing our term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), which extended the maturity date to July 26, 2022 subject to the extension of the Secured and Unsecured Second Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement (the “Second A&R CDA”). If the Second A&R CDA is not extended, the maturity date of the Term Loan will spring back to November 1, 2019. The Amendment provides that the outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Agreement are satisfied and discharged in full and that the Company incurs new term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million. The Amendment increased the annual principal payments from 1% to 3% per annum and increased the applicable interest rate, at either the applicable LIBOR (subject

Table of Contents

to a floor of 1%), plus a margin of 8.50% or an alternative base rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus a margin of 6.50%. In connection with the Amendment, the Company paid $35.2 million in principal and incurred $9.7 million in original issuance discount and an estimated $7.5 million in third party costs.

As a result of the extension in the maturity date under the Term Loan, the maturity date of the ABL will extend to June 28, 2021, as provided under Amendment No. 2 to the ABL, provided the Term Loan’s extension is met through the extension of the Second A&R CDA. Otherwise, the maturity date of the ABL is February 13, 2019.

Credit Facility Covenants

The Term Loan Agreement governing our Term Loan has certain financial covenants, as amended on July 26, 2017, that, among other things, restrict certain capital expenditures and require us to comply with a maximum total leverage ratio covenant (defined as Consolidated Total Debt divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as defined below).

Our total maximum leverage ratio covenants are as follows:



Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio	Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio
June 30, 2017	3.85 to 1.00	September 30, 2019	3.25 to 1.00
September 30, 2017	3.75 to 1.00	December 31, 2019	3.00 to 1.00
December 31, 2017	3.50 to 1.00	March 31, 2020	3.00 to 1.00
March 31, 2018	3.50 to 1.00	June 30, 2020	3.00 to 1.00
June 30, 2018	3.50 to 1.00	September 30, 2020	2.75 to 1.00
September 30, 2018	3.50 to 1.00	December 31, 2020	2.75 to 1.00
December 31, 2018	3.50 to 1.00	March 31, 2021	2.75 to 1.00
March 31, 2019	3.25 to 1.00	June 30, 2021 and thereafter	2.50 to 1.00
June 30, 2019	3.25 to 1.00

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, defined in our Term Loan Agreement as “Consolidated EBITDA,” is a measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and is further adjusted for, among other things, letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals, restructuring professional fees, non-recurring consulting fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our union employees and the gains or losses from permitted dispositions and discontinued operations. Consolidated Total Debt, as defined in our Term Loan Agreement, is the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding. Our total leverage ratio for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2017 was 3.61 to 1.00.

We believe that our results of operations will be sufficient to allow us to comply with the covenants in the Term Loan Agreement, fund our operations, increase working capital as necessary to support our planned revenue growth and fund capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. To maintain compliance with the maximum total leverage ratio over the tenor of the Term Loan and satisfy our liquidity needs, we would have to achieve operating results that reflect a slight improvement to our 2016 Adjusted EBITDA. Means for improving our profitability may include streamlining our support structure, as well as ongoing successful implementation and realization of pricing, productivity and efficiency initiatives, in addition to increased volume, some of which are outside of our control.

Fair Value Measurement

The book value and estimated fair values of our long-term debt, including current maturities and other financial instruments, are summarized as follows:



	June 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
(in millions)	Book Value		Fair value		Book Value		Fair value
Term Loan	$	624.0	$	622.6	$	627.2	$	638.1
Lease financing obligations	264.1		233.8		268.6		259.1
Second A&R CDA	99.9		98.4		101.3		101.8
Total debt	$	988.0	$	954.8	$	997.1	$	999.0

Table of Contents

The fair values of the Term Loan and the Second A&R CDA were estimated based on observable prices (level two inputs for fair value measurements). The fair value of the lease financing obligations is estimated using a publicly-traded secured loan with similar characteristics (level three input for fair value measurement).

Leases

As of June 30, 2017, our operating lease payment obligations through 2030 totaled $298.8 million and are expected to increase as we lease additional revenue equipment. Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2017, we entered into new operating leases for revenue equipment totaling $13.2 million in future lease payments, payable over an average lease term of five years.

Our capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $39.0 million and $47.3 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund the purchase of used tractors and trailers, to refurbish engines for our revenue fleet, and for capitalized costs to improve our technology infrastructure.

4. Employee Benefits

Qualified and Nonqualified Defined Benefit Pension Plans

The following table presents the components of our Company-sponsored pension costs for the three and six months ended June 30:



	Three Months						Six Months
(in millions)	2017			2016			2017			2016
Service cost	$	1.3		$	1.6		$	2.6		$	3.2
Interest cost	12.8			14.0			25.6			28.0
Expected return on plan assets	(14.8		)	(14.1		)	(29.6		)	(28.2		)
Amortization of net pension loss	3.9			3.4			7.8			6.8
Total periodic pension cost	$	3.2		$	4.9		$	6.4		$	9.8

We expect to contribute $54.1 million to our Company-sponsored pension plans in 2017 of which we have contributed $14.4 million through June 30, 2017.

5. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was 15.9% and 7.4%, respectively, compared to 14.8% and 16.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The significant items impacting the 2017 and 2016 rates include a provision for federal alternative minimum tax, a net state and foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2017 and 2016. 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets were subject to a valuation allowance.

6. Shareholders’ Deficit

The following reflects the activity in the shares of our common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2017:



(shares in thousands)	2017
Beginning balance	32,473
Issuance of equity awards	247
Ending balance	32,720

7. Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing our net earnings 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 unvested shares and stock units using the treasury stock method. Our calculations for basic and dilutive earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:



	Three Months				Six Months
(dollars in millions, except per share data, shares and stock units in thousands)	2017		2016		2017			2016
Basic and dilutive net income (loss) available to common shareholders	$	19.0	$	27.1	$	(6.3	)	$	15.1

Basic weighted average shares outstanding	32,715		32,459		32,642			32,362
Effect of dilutive securities:
Unvested shares and stock units	607		395		—			452
Dilutive weighted average shares outstanding	33,322		32,854		32,642			32,814

Basic earnings per share^(a)	$	0.58	$	0.84	$	(0.19	)	$	0.47
Diluted earnings per share^(a)	$	0.57	$	0.83	$	(0.19	)	$	0.46


(a)	Earnings per share is based on unrounded figures and not the rounded figures presented.

At June 30, 2017 and 2016, our anti-dilutive unvested shares, options, and stock units were approximately 350,000 and 497,000, respectively.

8. 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 external revenue, operating income (loss), and operating ratio.

We charge management fees and other corporate service fees to our reporting segments based on the 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 and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Intersegment revenue primarily relates to transportation services between our segments.

9. Commitments, Contingencies and Uncertainties

California Labor Law Change

In October 2015, California adopted new rules governing the payment of piece-rate compensation. New California Labor Code section 226.2 sets forth requirements for the payment of a separate hourly wage for “nonproductive” time worked by piece-rate employees, and separate payment for compensable rest and recovery periods to those employees. The Company continues to assess the impact of this new law and ongoing compliance measures. We believe the possible loss or range of loss is inconsequential to our consolidated financial statements.

Other Legal Matters

We are involved in litigation or proceedings that arise in ordinary business activities. When possible, 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 consolidated financial statements, we believe that our consolidated 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.

10. Subsequent Events

On July 26, 2017, the Company entered into an Amendment to its Term Loan in order to extend the maturity date to July 26, 2022 subject to the extension of the Second A&R CDA. The Amendment increases the annual principal payments and the applicable interest rate, among other things, as further described in the “Debt and Financing” footnote to the consolidated financial statements.

Our Business

YRC Worldwide is a holding company that, through wholly owned operating subsidiaries, offers our customers a wide range of transportation services. YRC Worldwide has one of the largest, most comprehensive LTL networks in North America with local, regional, national and international capabilities. Through its team of experienced service professionals, YRC Worldwide offers industry-leading expertise in LTL 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 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-hundred weight basis and a dollar-per-shipment 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 (loss) 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.


•	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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to assess the following:


◦	EBITDA: a non-GAAP measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense. EBITDA is used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects our core operating performance.

Table of Contents

◦

Adjusted EBITDA: a non-GAAP measure that reflects EBITDA, and further adjusts for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals, restructuring professional fees, non-recurring consulting fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our union employees and gains or losses from permitted dispositions and discontinued operations, among other items, as defined in our credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects our core operating performance, to measure compliance with financial covenants in our credit facilities and to determine certain executive bonus compensation.

Our non-GAAP financial measures have the following limitations:


◦	EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or fund principal payments on our outstanding debt;


◦	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to fund restructuring professional fees, nonrecurring consulting fees, letter of credit fees, service interest, principal payments on our outstanding debt or lump sum payments to our union employees required under the Memorandum of Understanding;


◦	Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do 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; and


◦	Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, potentially limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

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. For additional information and a reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures and GAAP results, see the “Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below.

Recent Developments

On July 26, 2017, the Company entered into an Amendment to its Term Loan, which extended the maturity date to July 26, 2022 subject to the extension of the Second A&R CDA. The Amendment provides that the outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Agreement are satisfied and discharged in full and that the Company incurs new term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $600M. If the Second A&R CDA is not extended, the maturity date of the Term Loan will spring back to November 1, 2019. The Amendment increased the annual principal payments from 1% to 3% per annum and increased the applicable interest rate, at either the applicable LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1%), plus a margin of 8.50% or an alternative base rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus a margin of 6.50%.

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.

Second Quarter of 2017 Compared to the Second Quarter of 2016

Our consolidated operating revenue increased $53.0 million, or 4.4%, during the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in revenue is primarily attributed to an increase in volume and fuel surcharge revenue, combined with an improvement in yield, excluding fuel surcharge.

Total operating expenses increased $60.2 million, or 5.2%, for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016, and consisted primarily of an increase in contractual wages, higher fuel costs, and an increase in purchased transportation expense.

Salaries, wages and employee benefits. Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $20.9 million, or 2.9%, primarily due to a $15.1 million increase in wages, which are related to contractual rate increases for union employees, combined with an increase in shipping volumes, which required more employee hours to process freight.

Operating expenses and supplies. Operating expenses and supplies increased $11.1 million, or 5.6%, primarily due to a $7.2 million increase in fuel expense, which was largely driven by higher fuel prices on a per gallon basis.

Purchased transportation. Purchased transportation increased $22.9 million, or 16.8%, primarily due to a $7.8 million increase in rail purchased transportation due to an increase in rail miles and higher rail rates. Local and over-the-road purchased transportation expense increased $6.7 million due to higher volume and vehicle rent expense increased $6.6 million primarily due to higher usage of operating leases for revenue equipment.

Other operating expense. Other operating expense decreased $3.5 million, or 5.1%, primarily due to a reduction in property damage and liability claims expense of $6.3 million due to unfavorable development of prior year claims that negatively impacted the second quarter of 2016.

Gains/losses on property disposals. Net gains on disposals of property were $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $11.1 million in the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to the sale of one property.

Nonoperating expenses, net. Nonoperating expenses, net, increased $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 primarily driven by a $2.9 million increase in foreign currency transaction losses.

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016 was 15.9% and 14.8%, respectively. Significant items impacting the 2017 and 2016 rates include a provision for federal alternative minimum tax, a net state and foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2017 and 2016. 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets were subject to a valuation allowance.

First Half of 2017 Compared to the First Half of 2016

Our consolidated operating revenue increased $103.3 million, or 4.4% during the first half of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in revenue is primarily attributed to an increase in volume and fuel surcharge revenue, while maintaining yield, excluding fuel surcharge, which was essentially flat when compared to prior year.

Table of Contents

Total operating expenses for the first half of 2017 increased $126.9 million, or 5.6%, compared to the same period in 2016, and consisted primarily of an increase in contractual wages and employee benefit rates, higher fuel costs, and an increase in purchased transportation expense due to higher usage of local and rail purchased transportation and leased revenue equipment.

Salaries, wages and employee benefits. Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $44.5 million, or 3.1%, primarily due to a $21.9 million increase in wages and an $18.2 million increase in employee benefit costs, both of which are mostly related to contractual rate increases for union employees, combined with an increase in shipping volumes, which required more employee hours to process freight.

Operating expenses and supplies. Operating expenses and supplies increased $37.2 million, or 9.6%, primarily due to a $28.2 million increase in fuel expense, which was largely driven by higher fuel prices on a per gallon basis. Also, operating expenses increased $8.5 million due to higher technology and operating supply costs.

Purchased transportation. Purchased transportation increased $41.9 million, or 16.6%, primarily due to a $14.0 million increase in rail purchased transportation due to an increase in rail miles and higher rail rates. In addition, vehicle rent expense increased $14.0 million primarily due to higher usage of operating leases for revenue equipment and local and over-the-road purchased transportation expense increased $9.8 million due to higher volume.

Other operating expense. Other operating expense decreased $4.9 million, or 3.7%, primarily due to a reduction in property damage and liability claims expense of $7.8 million due to unfavorable development of prior year claims that negatively impacted the second quarter of 2016.

Gains/losses on property disposals. Net losses on disposals of property were $1.7 million in the first half of 2017 compared to net gains of $11.4 million in the first half of 2016 primarily due to the sale of one property.

Nonoperating expenses, net. Nonoperating expenses, net, increased $1.2 million in the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016 primarily driven by a $2.3 million gain on the disposal of JHJ in the first half of 2016, with no corresponding adjustment in the first half of 2017.

Our effective tax rate for the first half of 2017 and 2016 was 7.4% and 16.1%, respectively. Significant items impacting the 2017 and 2016 rates include a provision for federal alternative minimum tax, a net state and foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2017 and 2016.

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 that focuses on longer haul business opportunities with national, regional and international services. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management. This reporting segment includes our LTL subsidiaries YRC Freight and YRC Reimer. YRC Reimer is 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 and Puerto Rico.

•

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 Holland, New Penn and 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, and Puerto Rico.

Local and over-the-road purchased transportation expense increased $5.1 million due to higher volume and vehicle rent expense increased $3.9 million due to higher usage of operating leases and short-term rentals for revenue equipment.

Other operating expense. Other operating expense decreased $6.1 million, or 13.6%, primarily due to a reduction in property damage and liability claims expense of $7.6 million due to unfavorable development of prior year claims that negatively impacted the second quarter of 2016.

Gains/losses on property disposals. Net gains on disposals of property were $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to the sale of one property.

First Half of 2017 Compared to the First Half of 2016

YRC Freight reported operating revenue of $1,518.4 million in the first half of 2017, an increase of $67.7 million, or 4.7%, compared to the same period in 2016.

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. For segment Adjusted EBITDA, we present the reconciliation from operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA as it is consistent with how we measure performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our ABL Facility and any prospective net cash flow from operations. As of June 30, 2017, our availability under our ABL Facility was $82.4 million, which is derived by reducing the amount that may be advanced against eligible receivables plus eligible borrowing base cash by certain reserves imposed by the ABL Agent and our $359.7 million of outstanding letters of credit. Of the $82.4 million in availability, our Managed Accessibility was $38.2 million based on our springing fixed charge coverage ratio (as set forth in our ABL Facility). Our cash and cash equivalents and Managed Accessibility was $253.4 million as of June 30, 2017.

Outside of funding normal operations, our principal uses of cash include making contributions to our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds, and meeting our other cash obligations including, but not limited to, paying principal and interest on our funded debt, payments on our equipment leases and funding capital expenditures.

As of June 30, 2017, we had $1,000.8 million in aggregate par value of outstanding indebtedness, the majority of which matures in 2019. We also have future funding obligations for our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds. We expect our funding obligations for the remainder of 2017 for our single-employer pension plans and multi-employer pension funds will be $39.7 million and $46.8 million, respectively. In addition, we have, and will continue to have, operating lease obligations. As of June 30, 2017, our operating lease payment obligations through 2030 totaled $298.8 million and are expected to increase as we lease additional revenue equipment. Additionally, for the first half of 2017, we entered into new operating leases for revenue equipment totaling $13.2 million in future lease payments, payable over an average lease term of five years.

Our capital expenditures for the first half of 2017 and 2016 were $39.0 million and $47.3 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund the purchase of used tractors and trailers, to refurbish engines for our revenue fleet, and for capitalized costs to improve our technology infrastructure.

As of June 30, 2017, our Standard & Poor’s Corporate Family Rating was “B-” with a stable outlook and Moody’s Investor Service Corporate Family Rating was “B3” with a stable outlook. In connection with the Term Loan Amendment on July 26, 2017, Moody’s Investor Service updated the Company’s outlook to positive and affirmed the rating of “B3.”

Credit Facility Covenants

Our Term Loan Agreement has certain financial covenants that, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires us to not exceed a maximum total leverage ratio (defined as Consolidated Total Debt divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. These covenants were modified as part of the Term Loan Amendment on July 26, 2017, which is more fully described in the “Debt and Financing” footnote to the consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flows

Operating Cash Flow

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $38.4 million during the first half of 2017, compared to $47.5 million during the first half of 2016, respectively. The decrease in operating cash flows was primarily attributable to a net loss of $6.3 million million in the first half of 2017 compared to net income of $15.1 million in the first half of 2016, in addition to the $11.4 million gain on property disposals recognized in the first half of 2016, compared to a $1.7 million loss in the first half of 2017.

Investing Cash Flow

Cash flows provided by investing activities was $52.7 million during the first half of 2017 compared to $45.4 million during the first half of 2016, largely driven by a net receipt of $85.0 million in restricted escrow refunds in 2017 compared to a net receipt of $57.1 million in 2016. Offsetting this increase, net proceeds from the disposal of property decreased $14.3 million during the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016, and cash flows in 2016 included $14.6 million in net proceeds from the sale of JHJ.

Financing Cash Flow

Cash flows used in financing activities for the first half of 2017 and 2016 was $12.6 million and $23.2 million, respectively, which consists primarily of repayments on our long-term debt.

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 June 30, 2017 and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2017.

We are in the process of implementing the human resources and payroll modules of a new comprehensive enterprise resource planning (ERP) system across most of our operating companies, with a phased-in implementation approach, in which the first phase goes live January 1, 2018. The system implementation was designed, in part, to enhance the overall system of internal control over financial reporting through enhanced automation and streamlining business processes across operating companies. Although the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting have been affected by the implementation, the Company is performing pre-implementation procedures as part of its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. We do not believe that the implementation will have a material adverse effect on our internal controls over financial reporting.

Other than as described above, there were no additional changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
