Earnings per share of $0.26 for 3Q 2015 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.43(a), respectively, vs. $0.38 year over year
Comprehensive Program Underway to Accelerate Operational Improvements
USA Truck, Inc. (NASDAQ:USAK), a leading capacity solutions provider
headquartered in Van Buren, AR, today announced its financial results
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
“The third quarter was devoted to accelerating the pace of improvement
in our Trucking operations as we began implementing the strategic
leadership and tactical initiatives we previously outlined,” said Tom
Glaser, USA Truck’s President and CEO.
For the third quarter of 2015, operating revenue decreased to $123.5
million from $153.6 million for the prior-year period on improved
pricing offset by lower volume. Base revenue, which excludes fuel
surcharges, decreased to $109.8 million from $125.9 million for the same
period in the prior year. For the third quarter of 2015, net income
decreased to $2.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, from $4.0
million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the 2014 quarter. Included in
the results for the 2015 third quarter was a charge of $2.9 million, or
$0.17, net-of-tax, per diluted share, relating to restructuring,
severance and related costs. On an adjusted basis, the Company produced
earnings per diluted share of $0.43(a) for the 2015 third
quarter as compared to $0.38(a) for the 2014 period.
“An important first step was to reorganize our Trucking business and
senior management team, including the appointment of a new President –
Trucking,” Mr. Glaser added. We also added new operational leadership in
critical areas of maintenance, safety, recruiting, and driver retention.
As part of the reorganization of our Trucking business, we took steps to
streamline overhead and realign roles and responsibilities. We took
actions to rationalize our maintenance program and facilities, and
continued to dispose of high-cost tractors while investing in newer
equipment. We believe these initiatives will improve operational
efficiency and customer service, better align our fixed cost base with a
newer and right sized tractor fleet and better support our driver team
members.
“In SCS, we are implementing new generation technology intended to
enable our customers to leverage our carrier partners and expect to roll
out these enhancements in the first quarter of 2016. Additionally, we
further expanded our footprint by opening two new brokerage branches.
SCS will grow the depth of our value-added services, to include
refrigerated, flatbed, expedited and LTL service offerings.”
Mr. Glaser continued, “For the remainder of 2015, our goals for Trucking
are to fully implement the efficiency enhancement of our maintenance
program, take further steps to improve driver recruiting, training and
retention, and advance the strategy of right-sizing the fleet and
reducing the average age of the equipment and realize our stated goal of
bringing our Trucking operating ratio in line with the industry. For
SCS, our goals are to increase load volume and improve service
offerings. We believe the benefits of these initiatives will be apparent
in the coming quarters.
“Over the longer term, our plan is to build and grow a sustainable base
for our Trucking business through improved lane management, asset
utilization, customer service and driver retention. We are also focused
on growing revenue and improving the profitability of SCS, a business
segment we believe offers significant growth potential.”
Mr. Glaser concluded, “In all that we do, our goal is to be better today
than yesterday and better tomorrow than today. We thank our team members
for embracing our commitment to this goal.”

nine months ended September 30, 2015, earnings per diluted share

million, or $0.04, net-of-tax, per diluted share loss related to debt
extinguishment and $2.9 million, or $0.17, net-of-tax, per diluted share
relating to restructuring, severance and related costs. Included in
earnings per share for the prior year period was $2.6 million, or $0.15,
net-of-tax, per diluted share related to defense costs. On an adjusted
basis, the Company achieved earnings per diluted share of $0.89(a) for

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Executive Vice President and CFO Michael Borrows said, “Through focused
balance sheet management, we continue to proactively enhance our
flexibility to support operational improvements and growth initiatives.
As of September 30, 2015, our total debt and capital lease obligations,
net of cash, was $71.9 million and our stockholders’ equity was $102.9
million. Debt to Adjusted EBITDA(a) continued to decline, and
was 1.1x 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 $45.4 million, while
the outstanding obligations of financing provided by operating leases
increased by $10.5 million. As of September 30, 2015, we had
approximately $115 million of borrowing availability under our revolving
line of credit.”
Stock Repurchase Program
During the third quarter of 2015, USA Truck repurchased 245,979 shares

price of $19.11 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $4.7
million. As of October 30, 2015, the Company had repurchased a total of
462,002 shares of common stock. The remaining authorized amount for
stock repurchases under the Company’s program is approximately 0.5
million shares with a termination date in July 2018.

(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 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 and the restructuring, severance and related costs.
Adjusted operating ratio is calculated as total operating expenses, net
of fuel surcharges, as a percentage of operating revenue excluding fuel
surcharge revenue and unusual items. Adjusted earnings per diluted share
is defined as income before income taxes plus loss on extinguishment of
debt, defense costs and restructuring, severance and related costs
reduced by our 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 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
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 per
diluted share and Adjusted operating ratio to GAAP financial measures at
the end of this press release.
