RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(A) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) and all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”), and variable interest entities (VIEs) required to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. These financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year.
Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In the fourth quarter of 2011, we revised our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income presentation to disaggregate our revenues and direct costs into three categories: full service lease and rental, services and fuel. In addition, we changed our business segments and our primary measure of segment operating performance. Prior to 2012, our business was divided into three business segments: Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), and Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC). In 2012, the SCS and DCC reportable business segments were combined as a result of aligning our internal reporting with how we operate our business. Our primary measurement of segment operating performance, “Earnings Before Taxes” (EBT) from continuing operations, was changed in 2012 to exclude the non-service components of pension costs in order to more accurately reflect the operating performance of the business segments.
(B) ACCOUNTING CHANGES
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. Under this guidance, entities have the option to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance was amended in December 2011 to defer the requirement to present the effects of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2012 and have presented total comprehensive income in a single continuous statement which contains two sections, net earnings and comprehensive income. This accounting guidance only impacted presentation and did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
(C) ACQUISITIONS
Hill Hire plc — On June 8, 2011, we acquired all of the common stock of Hill Hire plc (Hill Hire), a U.K. based full service leasing, rental and maintenance company for a purchase price of $251.5 million, net of cash acquired, all of which was paid in 2011. The acquisition included Hill Hire’s fleet of approximately 8,000 full service lease vehicles and 5,700 rental vehicles, and approximately 400 contractual customers. The acquired fleet included 9,700 trailers. The combined network operates under the Ryder name, complementing our FMS business segment market coverage in the U.K. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, purchase price adjustments totaled $1.8 million and related to adjustments to the fair value of liabilities assumed and revenue earning equipment.
Pro Forma Information — The operating results of Hill Hire have been included in the consolidated condensed financial statements from the date of acquisition. The following table provides the unaudited pro forma revenues, net earnings and earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as if the results of the Hill Hire acquisition had been included in operations commencing January 1, 2010. This pro forma information is not necessarily indicative either of the combined results of operations that actually would have been realized had the acquisition been consummated during the period for which the pro forma information is presented, or of future results.

Other Acquisitions—During 2011, we completed three other acquisitions of full service leasing and fleet service companies, one of which included the assets of the seller’s dedicated contract carriage business. The combined networks operate under the Ryder name, complementing our FMS and SCS business segment market coverage throughout the United States. The purchase price of these acquisitions totaled $113.8 million, of which $1.2 million and $79.6 million was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Goodwill and customer relationship intangibles related to these acquisitions totaled $28.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively. The following table provides further information regarding each of these acquisitions:

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, we paid $0.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively, related to acquisitions completed in years prior to 2011.
(D) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

(E) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
Share-based incentive awards are provided to employees under the terms of various share-based compensation plans (collectively, the “Plans”). The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards under the Plans principally include at-the-money stock options, nonvested stock and cash awards.
The following table provides information on share-based compensation expense and income tax benefits recognized during the periods:

|
Income tax benefit | (1,484 | ) | | (1,372 | ) |
Share-based compensation expense, net of tax | $ | 2,953 |
| | 2,733 |
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 460,000 and 700,000 stock options, respectively, were granted under the Plans. These awards generally vest evenly over a three year period from the date of grant and have contractual terms of seven years. The fair value of each option award at the date of grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model. The weighted-average fair value per option granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $14.07 and $12.84, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 93,000 and 140,000 market-based restricted stock rights, respectively, were granted under the Plans. For the 2012 grant, the awards were segmented into three equal performance periods of one, two and three years. At the end of each performance period, 25%-125% of the award may be earned based on Ryder's total shareholder return (TSR) compared to the target TSR of the S&P 500 over the applicable performance period. Employees will receive the grant of stock at the end of the three year period provided they continue to be employed with Ryder, subject to Compensation Committee approval. For grants prior to 2012, employees only receive the grant of stock if Ryder’s cumulative average TSR at least meets the S&P 500 cumulative average TSR over an applicable three-year period. The fair value of the market-based restricted stock rights was estimated using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation. The fair value of the market-based awards was determined and fixed on the grant date and considers the likelihood of Ryder achieving the market-based condition. The weighted-average fair value per market-based restricted stock right granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $43.39 and $25.29, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 104,000 and 120,000 time-vested restricted stock rights, respectively, were granted under the plans. The time-vested restricted stock rights entitle the holder to shares of common stock when the awards vest at the end of a three-year period. The fair value of the time-vested awards is determined and fixed on the date of grant based on Ryder’s stock price on the date of grant. The weighted-average fair value per time-vested restricted stock right granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $53.62 and $50.62, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, employees who received market-based restricted stock rights also received market-based cash awards. In addition, in 2012, employees who received time-vested restricted stock also received market-based cash awards. For the 2012 grant, the cash awards have the same vesting provisions as the market-based restricted stock rights. For grants prior to 2012, the awards have the same vesting provisions as the market-based restricted stock rights except that Ryder’s TSR must at least meet the TSR of the 33rd percentile of the S&P 500. The cash awards are accounted for as liability awards under the share-based compensation accounting guidance as the awards are based upon the performance of

Total unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to all share-based compensation arrangements at March 31, 2012 was $43.8 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
(F) EARNINGS PER SHARE
We compute earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Our nonvested stock granted prior to 2012 are considered participating securities since the share-based awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividend equivalents irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations:

(H) DIRECT FINANCING LEASE RECEIVABLES
We lease revenue earning equipment to customers for periods typically ranging from three to seven years for trucks and tractors and up to ten years for trailers. The majority of our leases are classified as operating leases. However, some of our revenue earning equipment leases are classified as direct financing leases and, to a lesser extent, sales-type leases. The net investment in direct financing and sales-type leases consisted of:

Our direct financing lease customers operate in a wide variety of industries, and we have no significant customer concentrations in any one industry. We assess credit risk for all of our customers including those who lease equipment under direct financing leases. Credit risk is assessed using an internally developed model which incorporates credit scores from third party providers and our own custom risk ratings and is updated on a monthly basis. The external credit scores are developed based on the customer’s historical payment patterns and an overall assessment of the likelihood of delinquent payments. Our internal ratings are weighted based on the industry that the customer operates, company size, years in business, and other credit-related indicators (i.e. profitability, cash flow, liquidity, tangible net worth, etc.). Any one of the following factors may result in a customer being classified as high risk: i) the customer has a history of late payments; ii) the customer has open lawsuits, liens or judgments; iii) the customer has been in business less than 3 years; and iv) the customer operates in an industry with low barriers to entry. For those customers who are designated as high risk, we typically require deposits to be paid in advance in order to mitigate our credit risk. Additionally, our receivables are collateralized by the vehicle’s fair value, which further mitigates our credit risk.

At the end of 2011, we completed our annual review of residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment. Based on the results of our analysis, we adjusted the estimated residual values of certain classes of revenue earning equipment effective January 1, 2012. The change in estimated residual values increased pre-tax earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 by approximately $4.5 million.

(L) INCOME TAXES
Uncertain Tax Positions
We are subject to tax audits in numerous jurisdictions in the U.S. and foreign countries. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. In the normal course of business, we are subject to challenges from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other tax authorities regarding amounts of taxes due. These challenges may alter the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions, or the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. As part of our calculation of the provision for income taxes on earnings, we recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions that are at least more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Such calculations require management to make estimates and judgments with respect to the ultimate outcome of a tax audit. Actual results could vary materially from these estimates.
The following is a summary of tax years that are no longer subject to examination:
Federal — audits of our U.S. federal income tax returns are closed through fiscal year 2007.
State — for the majority of states, tax returns are closed through fiscal year 2007.
Foreign — we are no longer subject to foreign tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2004 in Canada, 2006 in Brazil, 2007 in Mexico and 2009 in the U.K., which are our major foreign tax jurisdictions. Refer to Note (T), "Other Matters," for further discussion on the resolution of a Brazil tax assessment in the first quarter of 2012.
At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding the federal benefit received from state positions) was $70.3 million and $69.2 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign tax positions may decrease by $13.9 million by March 31, 2013, if audits are completed or tax years close.
Like-Kind Exchange Program
We have a like-kind exchange program for certain of our revenue earning equipment operating in the U.S. Pursuant to the program, we dispose of vehicles and acquire replacement vehicles in a form whereby tax gains on disposal of eligible vehicles are deferred. To qualify for like-kind exchange treatment, we exchange through a qualified intermediary eligible vehicles being disposed of with vehicles being acquired, allowing us to generally carryover the tax basis of the vehicles sold (“like-kind exchanges”). The program results in a material deferral of federal and state income taxes. As part of the program, the proceeds from the sale of eligible vehicles are restricted for the acquisition of replacement vehicles and other specified applications. Due to the structure utilized to facilitate the like-kind exchanges, the qualified intermediary that holds the proceeds from the sales of eligible vehicles and the entity that holds the vehicles to be acquired under the program are required to be consolidated in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, these consolidated entities had total assets, primarily revenue earning equipment, and total liabilities, primarily accounts payable, of $190.9 million and $142.0 million, respectively.
Tax Law Changes
On January 13, 2011, the State of Illinois enacted changes to its tax system, which included an increase to the corporate income tax rate from 4.8% to 7.0%. The impact of this change resulted in a non-cash charge to deferred income taxes and a decrease to earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2011 of $1.2 million.
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2012 was 26.9% compared with 40.7% in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate from continuing operations was mainly due to a tax benefit of $5.0 million (10.4% of earnings before tax) relating to the favorable resolution of a tax item from prior periods and a higher proportionate amount of earnings in lower rate jurisdictions. The 2011 tax rate included an unfavorable impact related to a tax law change in Illinois of $1.2 million (2.8% of earnings before tax).

We can borrow up to $900 million under a global revolving credit facility with a syndicate of twelve lending institutions led by Bank of America N.A., Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., BNP Paribas, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., Royal Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. This facility matures in June 2016 and is used primarily to finance working capital and provide support for the issuance of unsecured commercial paper in the U.S. and Canada. This facility can also be used to issue up to $75 million in letters of credit (there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility at March 31, 2012). At our option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on LIBOR, prime, federal funds or local equivalent rates. The agreement provides for annual facility fees, which range from 10.0 basis points to 32.5 basis points, and are based on Ryder’s long-term credit ratings. The current annual facility fee is 15.0 basis points, which applies to the total facility size of $900 million. The credit facility contains no provisions limiting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to Ryder’s business operations; however, the credit facility does contain standard representations and warranties, events of default, cross-default provisions and certain affirmative and negative covenants. In order to maintain availability of funding, we must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated tangible net worth, of less than or equal to 300%. Tangible net worth, as defined in the credit facility, includes 50% of our deferred federal income tax liability and excludes the book value of our intangibles. The ratio at March 31, 2012 was 259%. On April 20, 2012, we amended our debt to net worth covenant. As amended, our net worth is defined as shareholders’ equity excluding any accumulated other comprehensive income or loss associated with pension and other post-retirement plans. Had this amendment been in place as of March 31, 2012, the ratio would have been 183%. At March 31, 2012, $626.9 million was available under the credit facility, net of the support for commercial paper borrowings.
Our global revolving credit facility permits us to refinance short-term commercial paper obligations on a long-term basis. Settlement of short-term commercial paper obligations not expected to require the use of working capital are classified as long-term as we have both the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we

classified $252.0 million and $415.9 million, respectively, of short-term commercial paper as long-term debt.
In February 2012, we issued $350 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in March 2017. The proceeds from the notes were used to pay down commercial paper and for general corporate purposes. If the notes are downgraded following, and as a result of, a change in control, the note holder can require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.
We have a trade receivables purchase and sale program, pursuant to which we sell certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to a bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiary of Ryder, that in turn sells, on a revolving basis, an ownership interest in certain of these accounts receivable to a receivables conduit or committed purchasers. The subsidiary is considered a VIE and is consolidated based on our control of the entity’s activities. We use this program to provide additional liquidity to fund our operations, particularly when it is cost effective to do so. The costs under the program may vary based on changes in interest rates. The available proceeds that may be received under the program are limited to $175 million. If no event occurs which causes early termination, the 364-day program will expire on October 26, 2012. The program contains provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations or the collectability of the collateralized receivables. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, no amounts were outstanding under the program. Sales of receivables under this program will be accounted for as secured borrowings based on our continuing involvement in the transferred assets.
At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding totaling $271.3 million and $271.0 million, respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for these items, as well as the level of inputs used to measure fair value:
Investments held in Rabbi Trusts — The investments primarily include mutual funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. Shares of mutual funds were valued based on quoted market prices, which represents the net asset value of the shares and were therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Interest rate swaps — The derivatives are pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swaps based on the LIBOR rate and are designated as fair value hedges. Fair value was based on a model-driven income approach using the LIBOR rate at each interest payment date, which was observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swaps. Therefore, our interest rate swaps were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Contingent consideration — Fair value was based on the income approach and uses significant inputs that are not observable in the market. These inputs are based on our expectations as to what amount we will pay based on contractual provisions. Therefore, the liability was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the levels of inputs used to measure fair value:

| |
(2) | Total losses represent fair value adjustments for all vehicles held for sale throughout the period for which fair value was less than carrying value. |
Revenue earning equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses to reflect changes in fair value are presented within “Other operating expenses” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, we stratify our fleet by vehicle type (tractors, trucks and trailers), weight class, age and other relevant characteristics and create classes of similar assets for analysis purposes. Fair value was determined based upon recent market prices obtained from our own sales experience for sales of each class of similar assets and vehicle condition. Therefore, our revenue earning equipment held for sale was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value of total debt (excluding capital lease obligations) at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was approximately $3.70 billion and $3.51 billion, respectively. For publicly-traded debt, estimates of fair value were based on market prices. Since our publicly-traded debt is not actively traded, the fair value measurement was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For other debt, fair value was estimated based on a model-driven approach using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Therefore, the fair value measurement of our other debt was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.
(O) DERIVATIVES
Interest Rate Swaps
As of March 31, 2012, we have interest rate swaps outstanding which are designated as fair value hedges whereby we receive fixed interest rate payments in exchange for making variable interest rate payments. The differential to be paid or received is accrued and recognized as interest expense. The following table provides a detail of the swaps outstanding and the related hedged items as of March 31, 2012:

Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are offset by changes in the fair value of the debt instrument. Accordingly, there is no ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swaps. The location and amount of gains (losses) on interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges and related hedged items reported in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income were as follows:

(P) SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
In December 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our various employee stock, stock option and employee stock purchase plans. Under the December 2011 program, management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued to employees under the Company's various employee stock, stock option and employee stock purchase plans from December 1, 2011 through December 13, 2013. The December 2011 program limits aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. Share repurchases of common stock are made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management established prearranged written plans for the Company under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the December 2011 program, which allow for share repurchases during Ryder's quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we repurchased and retired 223,200 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of $11.9 million.
In December 2009, our Board of Directors authorized a two-year anti-dilutive share repurchase program. The December 2009 program limited aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we repurchased and retired 250,000 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of $12.0 million.

Pension Contributions
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we contributed $3.6 million to our pension plans. In 2012, we expect to contribute approximately $81 million to our pension plans.
Savings Plans
Employees who do not actively participate in pension plans and are not covered by union-administered plans are generally eligible to participate in enhanced savings plans. Plans provide for (i) a company contribution even if employees do not make contributions, (ii) a company match of employee contributions of eligible pay, subject to tax limits and (iii) a discretionary company match. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized total savings plan costs of $8.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively.

(S) SEGMENT REPORTING
Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. Prior to 2012, we operated in three reportable business segments: (1) FMS, which provides full service leasing, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and commercial rental of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers, principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) SCS, which provides comprehensive supply chain consulting including distribution and transportation services in North America and Asia; and (3) DCC, which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S. In 2012, the SCS and DCC reportable business segments were combined as a result of aligning our internal reporting with how we operate our business. As a result of this alignment, DCC is not considered an operating segment under the authoritative guidance as discrete financial information is no longer available.
Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as EBT from continuing operations, includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes non-service pension costs and restructuring and other charges, net as described in Note (G), “Restructuring and Other Charges.” CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services, public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal and corporate communications. Beginning in 2012, we adjusted our segment financial performance measurement to also exclude the non-service components of pension costs in order to more accurately reflect the operating performance of the business segments. Prior year segment EBT has been recast to conform to the current year presentation. The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment and each operating segment within each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included among the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation.
Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment and provides fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the SCS segment. Inter-segment revenue and EBT are accounted for at rates similar to those executed with third parties. EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to customers (equipment contribution) are included in both FMS and SCS and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations”).
The following tables set forth financial information for each of our business segments and provides a reconciliation between segment EBT and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

(T) OTHER MATTERS
We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business including but not limited to those relating to litigation matters, environmental matters, risk management matters (e.g. vehicle liability, workers’ compensation, etc.) and administrative assessments primarily associated with operating taxes. We are also subject to various claims, tax assessments and administrative proceedings associated with our discontinued operations. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. It is not possible at this time for us to determine fully the effect of all unasserted claims and assessments on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity; however, to the extent possible, where unasserted claims can be estimated and where such claims are considered probable we have recorded a liability. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of any individual litigated matter is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings could be decided unfavorably to Ryder. To the extent that these matters pertain to our discontinued operations, additional adjustments and expenses may be recorded through discontinued operations in future periods as further relevant information becomes available. Although the final resolution of any such matters could have a material effect on our consolidated operating results for the particular reporting period in which an adjustment of the estimated liability is recorded, we believe that any resulting liability should not materially affect our consolidated financial position.
In Brazil, we were assessed $15.7 million, including penalties and interest, related to tax due on the sale of our outbound auto carriage business in 2001. On November 11, 2010, the Administrative Tax Court dismissed the assessment. The tax authority filed a motion to review the decision before the Administrative Tax Court. On December 6, 2011, the Administrative Tax Court upheld our position. In the first quarter of 2012, the tax authority decided not to file a final special appeal. The case was dismissed.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto included under Item 1. In addition, reference should be made to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) is a global leader in transportation and supply chain management solutions. Prior to 2012, our business was divided into three business segments: Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides full service leasing, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and commercial rental of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides comprehensive supply chain consulting including distribution and transportation services in North America and Asia; and Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC), which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S. In 2012, the SCS and DCC reportable business segments were combined as a result of aligning our internal reporting with how we operate our business. While this change did not impact our consolidated results, segment data for prior periods have been recast to be consistent with the current year presentation.
We operate in highly competitive markets. Our customers select us based on numerous factors including service quality, price, technology and service offerings. As an alternative to using our services, customers may choose to provide these services for themselves, or may choose to obtain similar or alternative services from other third-party vendors. Our customer base includes enterprises operating in a variety of industries including automotive, electronics, transportation, grocery, lumber and wood products, food service and home furnishing.
Total revenue increased 8% in the first quarter of 2012 to $1.54 billion. The increase in total revenue was driven by organic growth, the benefit of acquisitions, and fuel services. Operating revenue increased 9% in the first quarter of 2012 to $1.23 billion primarily due to organic growth and acquisitions.
Earnings from continuing operations before taxes (EBT) increased 9% in the first quarter of 2012 to $47.7 million. The increase in EBT was primarily driven by the Hill Hire acquisition, improved used vehicle sales results and organic growth in commercial rental as well as in the SCS business segment. Acquisitions accounted for 17% of year-over-year EBT growth in the first quarter of 2012.
Earnings from continuing operations and earnings per diluted common share (EPS) from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2012 increased 35% to $34.9 million and 36% to $0.68 per diluted common share, respectively. Earnings from continuing operations in 2012 included an income tax benefit of $5.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, relating to the favorable resolution of a tax item from prior periods. Earnings from continuing operations in 2012 and 2011 also included acquisition-related restructuring charges of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share and $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share, respectively. Excluding these items, comparable earnings and EPS from continuing operations both increased 16% to $30.6 million and $0.59 per diluted common share, respectively. We believe that comparable earnings from continuing operations and comparable earnings per diluted common share from continuing operations measures provide useful information to investors because they exclude significant items that are unrelated to our ongoing business operations.
Net earnings and EPS increased 37% in the first quarter of 2012 to $34.3 million and 40% to $0.67 per diluted common share, respectively. Net earnings in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 were negatively impacted by losses from discontinued operations of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share, and $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted common share, respectively. EPS growth in the first quarter of 2012 exceeded the earnings growth reflecting the impact of the share repurchase program.

(1) | We use operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of our businesses and as a measure of sales activity. FMS fuel services revenue, which is directly impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices, is excluded from the operating revenue computation as fuel is largely a pass-through to our customers for which we realize minimal changes in profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on market fuel costs. Subcontracted transportation is deducted from total revenue to arrive at operating revenue as subcontracted transportation is typically a pass-through to our customers. We realize minimal changes in profitability as a result of fluctuations in subcontracted transportation. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of total revenue to operating revenue. |
Revenue and Cost of revenue by source
Total revenue increased 8% in the first quarter of 2012 to $1.54 billion. Operating revenue (revenue excluding FMS fuel and all subcontracted transportation) increased 9% in the first quarter of 2012 to $1.23 billion. The following table summarizes the components of the change in revenue on a percentage basis versus the prior year:

Lease and rental revenues represent full service lease and commercial rental product offerings within our FMS business segment. Revenues increased 10% in the first quarter of 2012 to $637.9 million primarily driven by acquisitions, higher prices on lease replacement vehicles and organic full service lease and rental fleet growth. The increase in full service lease pricing on new and replacement vehicles was driven by higher costs on new engine technology. The increase in organic rental revenue was driven by higher pricing (up 5%) and improved rental demand.
Cost of lease and rental represents the direct costs related to lease and rental revenues. These costs are comprised of depreciation of revenue earning equipment, maintenance costs (primarily repair parts and labor), and other fixed costs such as licenses, insurance and operating taxes. Cost of lease and rental excludes interest costs from vehicle financing. Cost of lease and rental increased 12% in the first quarter of 2012 to $455.6 million due to the growth in the fleet and higher maintenance costs to service a slightly older lease fleet, including higher vehicle outservicing activity.
Lease and rental gross margin increased 7% to $182.2 million in the first quarter of 2012 due to acquisitions and improved rental performance as a result of a 5% increase in rental power pricing and higher rental demand. The benefit of the lease fleet growth and increased lease pricing was offset by higher maintenance costs to service a slightly older lease fleet, including higher vehicle outservicing activity. Lease and rental gross margin as a percentage of revenue remained at 29% in the first quarter of 2012.

Services revenue represents all the revenues associated with our SCS business segment as well as contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and fleet support services associated with our FMS business segment. Services revenue increased 7% in the first quarter of 2012 to $678.4 million primarily driven by higher freight volumes and new business in our SCS business segment.
Cost of services represent the direct costs related to services revenue and is primarily comprised of salaries and employee-related costs, SCS subcontracted transportation (purchased transportation from third parties) and maintenance costs. Cost of services increased 7% in the first quarter of 2012 to $577.9 million due to an increase in revenue. Subcontracted transportation costs, which are passed through to customers, increased $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2012.
Services gross margin increased 6% to $100.4 million in the first quarter of 2012. Services gross margin as a percentage of revenue remained at 15% in the first quarter of 2012.
