Board of Directors Authorizes One Million Share Repurchase Program
USA Truck, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAK), a leading capacity solutions provider
headquartered in Van Buren, AR, today announced its financial results
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.
Operating revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 decreased 12.9% to
$133.6 million from $153.3 million for the prior-year period. Base
revenue, which excludes fuel surcharges, decreased 6.2% to $117.2
million in the June 2015 quarter from $125.0 million in the June 2014
quarter. Net income increased $1.7 million to $2.5 million in the second
quarter of 2015 from $0.8 million for the 2014 quarter. Earnings per
diluted share increased to $0.23 in the June 2015 quarter from $0.07 for
the same quarter last year. The 2014 quarter included approximately $2.2
million, or $0.13 per diluted share, related to defense costs.
Tom Glaser, USA Truck’s President and CEO, said, “USA Truck continued to
deliver profitability in the second quarter. Our trucking segment’s
adjusted operating ratio was 97.5%(a) for the second quarter,
representing a 460 basis-point improvement over last year’s period.
Pricing and fuel efficiency were better than last year, while other
areas still have significant room to improve, including maintenance,
risk management and, importantly, driver retention. In SCS, gross margin
remained solid, reflecting steady pricing and lower fuel costs compared
to the prior-year period; however, operating income declined due to
lower revenue, higher purchased transportation costs and start-up
expenses to support our growth plans.
“Accordingly, we have taken a comprehensive look at our organization to
determine where and how to accelerate the pace of improvement and have
developed a series of strategic, leadership and tactical actions that
are either already underway or to be implemented. Among the most
important trucking initiatives are:
-
Employing network planning tools to more efficiently utilize our
revenue equipment and deploy our driver team members;
-
Strict adherence to pricing and operational standards, prioritizing
return on capital employed and network density over the absolute size
of our operations;
-
Increasing driver take home pay and home time through the
aforementioned planning actions and an optimized scheduling and
dispatch protocol;
-
Streamlining the size of our tractor fleet by 400 in 2015 through
retirement of 800 high-cost tractors while maintaining purchases of
new tractors at 400. These combined actions will further improve fleet
fuel economy, significantly reduce maintenance costs, and increase the
reliability of our equipment for the benefit of our customers and
drivers;
-
Rationalizing fixed costs and SG&A to better align the Company’s
overhead with a net 400 unit reduction in our tractor fleet; and
-
Completing a comprehensive review of our maintenance facilities and
approach to managing preventative maintenance expenses and over the
road repairs.
“Our goal in trucking is to realize operating income improvements of
approximately $50 million over the next several years through these and
other high leverage opportunities. We also expect these efforts to
position the Company to respond faster and more favorably to new
business opportunities and changes in market conditions.
“Our goal in SCS is to more fully capitalize on this scalable,
asset-light complement to our trucking operation. We intend to restore
the pace of growth and improve the profitability of SCS through
initiatives that include the following:
-
Increasing load volume through further centralization of our customer
service organization and roll out of technology better enabling
customers to leverage our carrier partners within their enterprise;
-
Introducing additional capacity solutions and value added services to
capture additional revenue streams and accelerating organic growth by
expanding our footprint for both mode of service and multiple trailer
types, which today is predominantly dry van trailers. This includes
increasing the number of loads with our carrier partners related to
intermodal, refrigerated, flatbed, expedited, and LTL;
-
Investing in branch office expansion, including through acquisitions,
while critically reviewing productivity at existing branches to ensure
maximum leverage of our current resources.”
Chairman of the Board Robert A. Peiser commented, “We are determined to
energize our Company’s turnaround in the second half of 2015. We are
currently pursuing all possibilities, including, but not limited to,
reviewing the composition, roles and responsibilities of our senior
management team; optimizing the locations and uses of our terminal and
other facilities; reviewing our investments in technology; and
effectively sizing our business segments based on expected financial
returns. I would like to thank all of our team members for their
continued hard work and dedication as we restore our momentum.”
Stock Repurchase Program
The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has
authorized the repurchase of up to one million shares of the Company’s
common stock. Addressing this action, Mr. Peiser noted, “In recognizing
the value and potential of USA Truck’s operations, I am pleased that the
Board of Directors has authorized this repurchase program. Returning
capital to shareholders is an important element of our capital
allocation philosophy as we look to create value both organically from
operations and through strategic use of our balance sheet and strong
liquidity position.”
Share repurchases, if any, will be made using a variety of methods,
which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated
transactions or block trades, or any combination of such methods, in
accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and
regulations. Share repurchases may commence as early as August 6, 2015,
and the repurchase program will expire on July 28, 2018 unless earlier
terminated or extended by the Board of Directors. The repurchased shares
will be held as treasury stock and may be used for reissuance under the
Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan or the Company’s 2014 Omnibus
Incentive Plan, or for general corporate purposes as the Board of
Directors may determine. The proposed repurchases are permitted under
the Company’s primary credit facility and other contractual
arrangements, subject to customary conditions.
The specific number of shares the Company ultimately repurchases, and
the actual timing and amount of share repurchases, will depend on market
conditions and other factors, as well as the applicable requirements of
federal securities law. In addition, the stock repurchase program may be
suspended, extended or terminated by the Company at any time without
prior notice, and the Company is not obligated to purchase a specific
number of shares.
Six-Month Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, operating revenue decreased
10.8% to $266.5 million from $298.8 million for last year’s period. Base
revenue, which excludes fuel surcharges, decreased 4.1% to $232.7
million for the 2015 period from $242.6 million for the 2014 period. Net
income increased $4.4 million to $3.6 million in the 2015 period from a
loss of $0.9 million for the same period last year. Earnings per diluted
share increased to $0.34 in 2015 from a loss of ($0.08) for the 2014
year. Included in net income and earnings per share was approximately
$2.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, related to defense costs in
the prior year period.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Executive Vice President and CFO Michael Borrows said, “Our balance
sheet is solid and we have the liquidity to support our continuous
improvement initiatives and exploit profitable growth strategies. As of
June 30, 2015, our total debt and capital lease obligations, net of
cash, was $85.1 million and our stockholders’ equity was $109.7 million.
Our debt to Adjusted EBITDA(a) ratio continues to decrease
and was 1.3x, compared with 1.9x as of December 31, 2014. Since the end
of 2014, the Company's balance sheet debt and capital lease obligations,
net of cash, have decreased by $32.2 million, while the outstanding
obligations of financing provided by operating leases decreased by
approximately $2.0 million. As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately
$112.7 million of borrowing availability under our revolving line of
credit. During the quarter, we also realized a $21.1 million increase in
cash flow from operations, reflecting improved profitability and working
capital management.”

(a)About Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to our GAAP results, this press release also includes
certain non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by the SEC. The terms
“EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted operating ratio”, and “Adjusted
earnings (loss) per diluted share”, as we define them, are not presented
in accordance with GAAP.
The Company defines EBITDA as net income, plus interest expense net of
interest income, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and
amortization. It defines Adjusted EBITDA as these items plus non-cash
equity compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt and defense costs
incurred primarily in connection with the unsolicited proposal to
acquire USA Truck. Adjusted operating ratio is calculated as total
operating expenses, net of fuel surcharges, as a percentage of operating
revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue. Adjusted earnings (loss) per
diluted share is defined as income (loss) before income taxes plus
long-term claims liability reserve adjustment, loss on extinguishment of
debt, and defense costs reduced by income taxes, divided by weighted
average diluted shares outstanding. These financial measures supplement
our GAAP results in evaluating certain aspects of our business. We
believe that using these measures improves comparability in analyzing
our performance because they remove the impact of items from our
operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core
operating performance. Management and the board of directors focus on
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating ratio and Adjusted earnings
(loss) per diluted share as key measures of our performance, all of
which are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures and
further discussed below. We believe our presentation of these non-GAAP
financial measures is useful because it provides investors and
securities analysts the same information that we use internally for
purposes of assessing our core operating performance.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating ratio and Adjusted earnings
(loss) per diluted share are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP
financial measures, such as net income, cash flows from operating
activities, operating margin, or other measures prescribed by GAAP.
There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. Although we
believe that they improve comparability in analyzing our period to
period performance, they could limit comparability to other companies in
our industry if those companies define these measures differently.
Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not
be considered measures of income generated by our business or
discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our
business. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily
relying on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures on a
supplemental basis.
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided
reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted earnings (loss) per
diluted share and Adjusted operating ratio to GAAP financial measures at
the end of this press release.
