Saia, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Saia, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the Company or Saia). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of Robart Transportation, Inc. and its subsidiary, The RL Service Group, LLC (the Robart Companies) since the acquisition date of July 2, 2012 (See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012).

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit by the independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included herein have been made. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Business

The Company offers customers a wide range of less-than-truckload, non-asset truckload, expedited and logistics services across the United States through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Effective October 1, 2012, the Company’s subsidiaries were as follows: Saia Motor Freight Line, LLC, doing business as Saia LTL Freight; Saia TL Plus, Inc., formerly Robart Transportation, Inc., and Saia Logistics Services, LLC, formerly The RL Services Group, LLC.

Common Stock Split

On May 16, 2013, the Company announced a three-for-two common stock split which was effected in the form of a 50 percent common stock dividend. The shares were distributed on June 13, 2013 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of May 31, 2013. In lieu of fractional shares, shareholders received a cash payment based on the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the record date. All references in this report on Form 10-Q to common shares outstanding, weighted average common shares and earnings per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect this stock split.

New Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new accounting pronouncements pending adoption as of June 30, 2013 that the Company believes would have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

(2) Computation of Earnings Per Share

The calculation of basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share was as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

 

     Second Quarter      Six Months  
     2013      2012      2013      2012  

Numerator:

           

Net income

   $ 13,500      $ 11,851      $ 22,655      $ 17,386  
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

Denominator:

           

Denominator for basic earnings per share — weighted average common shares

     24,163        23,827        24,073        23,789  

Effect of dilutive stock options

     294        178        298        151  

Effect of other common stock equivalents

     761        766        752        768  
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

Denominator for diluted earnings per share — adjusted weighted average common shares

     25,218        24,771        25,123        24,708  
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

Basic Earnings Per Share

   $ 0.56      $ 0.50      $ 0.94      $ 0.73  
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

Diluted Earnings Per Share

   $ 0.54      $ 0.48      $ 0.90      $ 0.70  
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, options to purchase 102,105 and 51,335 shares of common stock of the Company were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, options to purchase 162,045 and 166,040 shares of common stock of the Company were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

 

(3) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that adequate provisions for the resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending litigation have been made for probable losses and that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position but could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a quarter or annual period.

 

(4) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximated fair value as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar items and remaining maturities the estimated fair value of total debt at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $100.6 million and $63.5 million, respectively, based upon level two in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the debt was $99.0 million and $60.7 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

(5) Debt and Financing Arrangements

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

     June 30,
2013
     December 31,
2012

On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with its banking group (as amended, the Restated Credit Agreement). The amendment increased the amount of the revolver from $150 million to $200 million and extended the term until June 2018. The amendment also reduced the interest rate pricing grid and, subject to the Company maintaining a specified leverage ratio, suspended the borrowing base. On June 28, 2013, the Company also entered into the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Master Shelf Agreement with its long term note holders (as amended, the Restated Master Shelf Agreement) that made changes to this agreement to conform with certain changes in the Restated Credit Agreement.

Restated Credit Agreement

The Restated Credit Agreement is a revolving credit facility for up to $200 million expiring in June 2018. The Restated Credit Agreement also has an accordion feature that allows for an additional $40 million availability, subject to lender approval. The Restated Credit Agreement provides for a LIBOR rate margin range from 125 basis points to 250 basis points, base rate margins from minus 12.5 to plus 50 basis points, letter of credit fee range from 137.5 basis points to 262.5 basis points and an unused portion fee from 20 basis points to 32.5 basis points in each case based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

Under the Restated Credit Agreement, the Company must maintain certain financial covenants including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth, among others. The Restated Credit Agreement also provides for a pledge by the Company of certain land and structures, certain tractors, trailers and other personal property and accounts receivable, as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement. Total bank commitments under the Restated Credit Agreement are $200 million. If the Company’s leverage ratio exceeds a 3-to-1 ratio, the bank commitments become subject to a borrowing base calculated utilizing certain pledged property, equipment and accounts receivable as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had borrowings of $59.4 million and $59.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2012, the Company had borrowings of $10.0 million and $49.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement. The available portion of the Restated Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including future capital expenditures, working capital and letter of credit requirements as needed.

Restated Master Shelf Agreement

On September 20, 2002, the Company issued $100 million in Senior Notes under a $125 million (amended to $150 million in April 2005) Master Shelf Agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and certain of its affiliates. The Company issued another $25 million in Senior Notes on November 30, 2007 and $25 million in Senior Notes on January 31, 2008 under the same Master Shelf Agreement.

The initial $100 million Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate of 7.38 percent. Payments due under the $100 million Senior Notes were interest only until June 30, 2006 and at that time semi-annual principal payments began with the final payment due December 2013. The November 2007 issuance of $25 million Senior Notes has a fixed interest rate of 6.14 percent. The January 2008 issuance of $25 million Senior Notes has a fixed interest rate of 6.17 percent. Payments due for both $25 million issuances were interest only until June 30, 2011 and at that time semi-annual principal payments began with the final payments due January 1, 2018. Under the terms of the Senior Notes, the Company must maintain certain financial covenants including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth, among others.

The principal maturities of long-term debt (in thousands) are as follows:

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

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and our 2012 audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Those consolidated financial statements include additional information about our significant accounting policies, practices and the transactions that underlie our financial results.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand the future prospects of a company and make informed investment decisions. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains these types of statements, which are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “believe,” “should” and similar words or expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Executive Overview

The Company’s business is highly correlated to non-service sectors of the general economy. The Company’s strategy is to improve profitability by increasing yield along with volumes to build density in existing geography. The Company’s business is labor intensive, capital intensive and service sensitive. The Company looks for opportunities to improve cost effectiveness, safety and asset utilization (primarily tractors and trailers). The pricing initiatives that were implemented in 2010 and continued since then have had a positive impact on yield and profitability. The Company continues to execute targeted sales and marketing programs along with initiatives to align costs with volumes and improve customer satisfaction. Technology continues to be an important investment that is facilitating operational efficiencies and improving Company image.

The Company’s operating revenue increased by 1.7 percent in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase resulted primarily from effective yield management.

Consolidated operating income was $23.3 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to consolidated operating income of $21.2 million in the second quarter of 2012. In the second quarter of 2013, LTL tonnage per workday was down 1.6 percent versus the prior year quarter. Diluted earnings per share were $0.54 in the second quarter of 2013, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.48 in the prior year quarter. The operating ratio (operating expenses divided by operating revenue) was 92.0 percent in the second quarter of 2013. This compares to 92.6 percent in the second quarter of 2012.

The Company generated $32.0 million in cash provided by operating activities through the first six months of 2013 compared with cash provided in the amount of $50.3 million in the prior-year period largely due to working capital fluctuations. The Company had net cash used in investing activities of $70.8 million during the first six months of 2013 compared to $69.3 million in the first six months of 2012, which was primarily for the purchase of revenue equipment. The Company’s cash provided in financing activities was $41.4 million through the first six months of 2013 compared to $18.5 million provided by financing activities in the prior year period. The Company had $59.4 million in borrowings under its revolving credit agreement, outstanding letters of credit of $59.1 million and a cash and cash equivalents balance of $2.9 million at June 30, 2013. The Company was in compliance with the debt covenants under its debt agreements at June 30, 2013.

General

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis describes the principal factors affecting the results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, as well as the critical accounting policies of Saia, Inc. and Subsidiaries (also referred to as Saia or the Company).

The Company is a transportation company headquartered in Johns Creek, Georgia providing a wide range of less-than-truckload, non-asset truckload, expedited and logistics services across the United States.

Our business is highly correlated to non-service sectors of the general economy. It also is impacted by a number of other factors as discussed under “Forward Looking Statements” and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors”. The key factors that affect our operating results are the volumes of shipments transported through our network, as measured by our average daily shipments and tonnage; the prices we obtain for our services, as measured by revenue per hundredweight (a measure of yield) and revenue per shipment; our ability to manage our cost structure for capital expenditures and operating expenses such as salaries, wages and benefits; purchased transportation; claims and insurance expense; fuel and maintenance; and our ability to match operating costs to shifting volume levels.

Revenue and volume

Consolidated revenue increased 1.7 percent to $292.6 million primarily as a result of effective yield management. Saia’s LTL revenue per hundredweight (a measure of yield) increased 3.2 percent to $14.16 per hundredweight for the second quarter of 2013 as a result of increased rates. Approximately 70 percent of Saia’s operating revenue is subject to specific customer price adjustment negotiations that occur throughout the year. The remaining 30 percent of operating revenue is subject to an annual general rate increase. On July 9, 2012, Saia implemented a 6.9 percent general rate increase for customers comprising this 30 percent of operating revenue. Competitive factors, customer turnover and mix changes, among other things, impact the extent to which customer rate increases are retained over time.

Operating revenue includes fuel surcharge revenue from the Company’s fuel surcharge program. That program is designed to reduce the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in fuel prices by adjusting total freight charges to account for changes in the price of fuel. The Company’s fuel surcharge is based on the average national price for diesel fuel and is reset weekly. Fuel surcharges have remained in effect for several years, are widely accepted in the industry and are a significant component of revenue and pricing. Fuel surcharges are an integral part of annual customer contract renewals which blur the distinction between base price increases and recoveries under the fuel surcharge program. Fuel surcharges represent only one portion of overall competitive price negotiations as customers may negotiate increases in base rates instead of increases in fuel surcharges or vice versa. Fuel surcharge revenue decreased to 16.7% of operating revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to 17.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 

11


For the six months ended June 30, 2013, operating revenues were $566.4 million up 1.8 percent from $556.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to higher yield, which reflects increases in rates and fuel surcharge, partially offset by a decrease in tonnage.

Operating expenses and margin

Consolidated operating income was $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to operating income of $21.2 million in the prior year quarter. Overall, the operations were favorably impacted in 2013 by higher yield combined with continued cost optimization initiatives throughout our network. The second quarter 2013 operating ratio (operating expenses divided by operating revenue) was 92.0 percent compared to 92.6 percent for the same period in 2012.

Salaries, wages and benefits increased $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year period largely due to a 3.0 percent wage increase in July 2012 and increased headcount. During the second quarter of 2013, claims and insurance expense was $0.2 million lower than the previous year quarter primarily due to decreased accident expense. The Company can experience volatility in accident expense as a result of its self-insurance structure and $2.0 million retention limits per occurrence. Purchased transportation decreased $1.7 million from the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to network optimization and driving more in-house miles.

Other

Substantially all non-operating expenses represent interest expense. Interest expense in second quarter 2013 was lower due to lower average borrowings and a lower interest rate in 2013. The effective tax rate was 37.7 percent and 37.6 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the effective tax rate was 34.8 percent compared to 38.3 percent for the six months ended June 2012. In January 2013, Congress enacted certain tax credits related to 2012 and 2013. The 2013 tax rate year to date reflects the recognition of $1.0 million in tax credits in the first quarter of 2013 for 2012.

Net income was $13.5 million or $0.54 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013 compared to a net income of $11.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012.

Working capital/capital expenditures

Working capital at June 30, 2013 was $19.8 million which increased from working capital at June 30, 2012 of $9.8 million.

Current assets increased by $15.7 million as compared to June 30, 2012 and include an increase in accounts receivable of $7.2 million along with increases in other assets. The increase in current assets was more than the increase in current liabilities of $5.8 million, which was driven by an increase in accounts payable. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $32.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 versus $50.3 million provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 largely due to increased accounts receivable as a result of seasonal growth in revenue during the second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, cash used in investing activities was $70.8 million versus $69.3 million in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash provided in financing activities was $41.4 million compared to $18.5 million of cash provided by financing activities in the prior year period. A significant portion of capital expenditures planned for 2013 were incurred in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 when a large portion were incurred in the first quarter. Capital expenditures are primarily for revenue equipment, information technology, land and structures.

Outlook

Our business remains highly correlated to the general economy and competitive pricing pressures, as well as the success of Company-specific improvement initiatives. While improved through 2011 and 2012, there remains uncertainty as to the timing and strength of economic recovery. We are continuing initiatives to increase yield, to reduce costs and improve productivity. We focus on providing top quality service and improving safety performance. If significant competitors were to cease operations and their capacity leave the market, current industry conditions could improve. However, there can be no assurance that any industry consolidation will indeed happen. Regardless of possible future consolidations, the Company continues to pursue revenue and cost initiatives to improve profitability. Planned revenue initiatives include,but are not limited to, building density in our current geography, targeted marketing initiatives to grow revenue in more profitable segments, as well as

pricing and yield management. On July 1, 2013, Saia implemented a 5.9 percent general rate increase for customers comprising approximately 30 percent of Saia’s operating revenue. The extent of the success of these revenue initiatives is impacted by what proves to be the underlying economic trends, competitor initiatives and other factors discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements” and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”

In 2009, the Company implemented certain cost reduction measures including: the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match; effective reduction in compensation equal to ten percent of salary for the Company’s leadership team and a five percent wage and salary reduction for hourly, linehaul and salaried employees in operations, maintenance and administration; and a ten percent reduction in the annual retainer and meeting fees paid to the non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Despite these necessary reductions, the Company’s compensation philosophy remained committed to a market-based program. Based on the continued improvement in the Company’s operating results and the Company’s desire to attract and retain employees needed for the Company to continue to deliver best-in-class service to customers, management began taking steps in April 2011 to reinstate certain compensation programs and amounts subject to the 2009 reductions. One half of the 401(k) match suspension was reinstated effective April 1, 2011. The Company implemented a two and one-half percent wage and salary increase for hourly, linehaul and salaried employees in operations, maintenance, administration and management effective December 1, 2011. Effective July 1, 2012, the Company implemented a salary and wage increase for all its employees of approximately three percent. Also effective July 1, 2012, the Company increased Board of Director’s compensation to market levels. The Company has implemented a salary and wage increase for all of its employees effective July 1, 2013. The impact of this increase is estimated to be $13 million annually which is expected to be partially offset by further productivity and efficiency gains.

If the Company builds market share, there are numerous operating leverage cost benefits. Conversely, should the economy soften from present levels, the Company plans to match resources and capacity to shifting volume levels to lessen unfavorable operating leverage. The success of cost improvement initiatives is also impacted by the cost and availability of drivers and purchased transportation, fuel, insurance claims, regulatory changes, successful implementation of profit improvement initiatives and other factors discussed under “Forward-Looking Statements” and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”

See “Forward-Looking Statements” and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for a more complete discussion of potential risks and uncertainties that could materially affect our future performance.

New Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new accounting pronouncements pending adoption as of June 30, 2013 that the Company believes would have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Financial Condition

The Company’s liquidity needs arise primarily from capital investments in new equipment, land and structures, information technology and letters of credit required under insurance programs as well as funding working capital requirements.

On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with its banking group (as amended, the Restated Credit Agreement). The amendment increased the amount of the revolver from $150 million to $200 million and extended the term until June 2018. The amendment also reduced the interest rate pricing grid and, subject to the Company maintaining a specified leverage ratio, suspended the borrowing base. On June 28, 2013, the Company also entered into the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Master Shelf Agreement with its long term note holders (as amended, the Restated Master Shelf Agreement) that made changes to this agreement to conform with certain changes in the Restated Credit Agreement. See the full text of both amendments which were filed as Exhibits to the Company’s 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 5, 2013.

Restated Credit Agreement

The Restated Credit Agreement is a revolving credit facility for up to $200 million expiring in June 2018. The Restated Credit Agreement also has an accordion feature that allows for an additional $40 million availability, subject to lender approval. The Restated Credit Agreement provides for a LIBOR rate margin range from 125 basis points to 250 basis points, base rate margins from minus 12.5 to plus 50 basis points, letter of credit fee range from 137.5 basis points to 262.5 basis points and an unused portion fee from 20 basis points to 32.5 basis points in each case based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

 

13


Under the Restated Credit Agreement, the Company must maintain certain financial covenants including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth, among others. The Restated Credit Agreement also provides for a pledge by the Company of certain land and structures, certain tractors, trailers and other personal property and accounts receivable, as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement. Total bank commitments under the Restated Credit Agreement are $200 million. If the Company’s leverage ratio exceeds a 3-to-1 ratio, the bank commitments become subject to a borrowing base calculated utilizing certain pledged property, equipment and accounts receivable as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had borrowings of $59.4 million and $59.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2012, the Company had borrowings of $28.9 million and $55.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Restated Credit Agreement. The available portion of the Restated Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including future capital expenditures, working capital and letter of credit requirements as needed.

Restated Master Shelf Agreement

On September 20, 2002, the Company issued $100 million in Senior Notes under a $125 million (amended to $150 million in April 2005) Master Shelf Agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and certain of its affiliates. The Company issued another $25 million in Senior Notes on November 30, 2007 and $25 million in Senior Notes on January 31, 2008 under the same Master Shelf Agreement.

The initial $100 million Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate of 7.38 percent. Payments due under the $100 million Senior Notes were interest only until June 30, 2006 and at that time semi-annual principal payments began with the final payment due December 2013. The November 2007 issuance of $25 million Senior Notes has a fixed interest rate of 6.14 percent. The January 2008 issuance of $25 million Senior Notes has a fixed interest rate of 6.17 percent. Payments due for both $25 million issuances were interest only until June 30, 2011 and at that time semi-annual principal payments began with the final payments due January 1, 2018. Under the terms of the Senior Notes, the Company must maintain certain financial covenants including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth, among others. At June 30, 2013, the Company had borrowings of $39.6 million outstanding under the Restated Master Shelf Agreement.

Other

Projected net capital expenditures for 2013 are approximately $90 million. This represents an approximate $7 million increase from 2012 net capital expenditures of $82.8 million for property and equipment. Approximately $11 million of the remaining 2013 capital budget was committed as of June 30, 2013. Net capital expenditures pertain primarily to investments in revenue equipment, information technology, land and structures.

The Company has historically generated cash flows from operations that have funded its capital expenditure requirements. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $32.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, $18.3 million lower than the prior year largely due to working capital fluctuations, especially related to accounts receivable. The timing of capital expenditures can largely be managed around the seasonal working capital requirements of the Company. The Company believes it has adequate sources of capital to meet short-term liquidity needs through its operating cash flows and availability under the Restated Credit Agreement, subject to the Company’s borrowing base and satisfaction of existing debt covenants. Future operating cash flows are primarily dependent upon the Company’s profitability and its ability to manage its working capital requirements, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable and wage and benefit accruals. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants at June 30, 2013.

At June 30, 2013, YRC Worldwide Inc., formerly Yellow Corporation (Yellow), provided guarantees on behalf of Saia primarily for open workers’ compensation claims and casualty claims incurred prior to March 1, 2000. Under the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into in connection with the 100 percent tax-free distribution of Saia shares to Yellow shareholders in 2002, Saia pays Yellow’s actual cost of any collateral it provides to insurance underwriters in support of these claims at cost plus 125 basis points. At June 30, 2013, the portion of collateral allocated by Yellow to Saia in support of these claims was $1.6 million.

The Company has unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $1.3 million and accrued interest and penalties of $1.4 million related to the unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2013. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the timing of cash settlement with respective taxing authorities beyond one year and accordingly has not included the amounts within the above contractual cash obligation and other commercial commitment tables.

The Company sold the stock of Jevic Transportation, Inc. (Jevic) on June 30, 2006 and remains a guarantor under indemnity agreements, primarily with certain insurance underwriters with respect to Jevic’s self-insured retention (SIR) obligation for workers’ compensation, bodily injury and property damage and general liability claims against Jevic arising out of occurrences prior to the transaction date. In September 2008, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the debtors of Jevic, which was approved by the bankruptcy court, under which the Company assumed Jevic’s SIR obligation on the workers’ compensation, bodily injury and property damage, and general liability claims arising prior to the transaction date.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company makes estimates and assumptions in preparing the consolidated financial statements that affect reported amounts and disclosures therein. In the opinion of management, the accounting policies that generally have the most significant impact on the financial position and results of operations of the Company include:

 

 

Claims and Insurance Accruals. The Company has self-insured retention limits generally ranging from $250,000 to $2.0 million per claim for medical, workers’ compensation, auto liability, casualty and cargo

 

15


 

claims. The liabilities associated with the risk retained by the Company are estimated in part based on historical experience, third-party actuarial analysis with respect to workers’ compensation claims, demographics, nature and severity, past experience and other assumptions. The liabilities for self-funded retention are included in claims and insurance reserves based on claims incurred with liabilities for unsettled claims and claims incurred but not yet reported being actuarially determined with respect to workers’ compensation claims and with respect to all other liabilities, estimated based on management’s evaluation of the nature and severity of individual claims and historical experience. However, these estimated accruals could be significantly affected if the actual costs of the Company differ from these assumptions. A significant number of these claims typically take several years to develop and even longer to ultimately settle. These estimates tend to be reasonably accurate over time; however, assumptions regarding severity of claims, medical cost inflation, as well as specific case facts can create short-term volatility in estimates.

 

 

Revenue Recognition and Related Allowances. Revenue is recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis for shipments in transit while expenses are recognized as incurred. In addition, estimates included in the recognition of revenue and accounts receivable include estimates of shipments in transit and estimates of future adjustments to revenue and accounts receivable for billing adjustments and collectability.

Revenue is recognized in a systematic process whereby estimates of shipments in transit are based upon actual shipments picked up, scheduled day of delivery and current trend in average rates charged to customers. Since the cycle for pickup and delivery of shipments is generally 1-3 days, typically less than 5 percent of a total month’s revenue is in transit at the end of any month. Estimates for credit losses and billing adjustments are based upon historical experience of credit losses, adjustments processed and trends of collections. Billing adjustments are primarily made for discounts and billing corrections. These estimates are continuously evaluated and updated; however, changes in economic conditions, pricing arrangements and other factors can significantly impact these estimates.

 

 

Depreciation and Capitalization of Assets. Under the Company’s accounting policy for property and equipment, management establishes appropriate depreciable lives and salvage values for the Company’s revenue equipment (tractors and trailers) based on their estimated useful lives and estimated fair values to be received when the equipment is sold or traded in. These estimates are routinely evaluated and updated when circumstances warrant. However, actual depreciation and salvage values could differ from these assumptions based on market conditions and other factors.

These accounting policies and others are described in further detail in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to adopt accounting policies and make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. In many cases, there are alternative policies or estimation techniques that could be used. We maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the many estimates that are required to prepare the consolidated financial statements. However, even under optimal circumstances, estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and the receipt of new or better information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to a variety of market risks including the effects of interest rates and fuel prices. The detail of the Company’s debt structure is more fully described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. To help mitigate our risk to rising fuel prices, the Company has implemented a fuel surcharge program. This program is well established within the industry and customer acceptance of fuel surcharges remains high. Since the amount of fuel surcharge is based on average national fuel prices and is reset weekly, exposure of the Company to fuel price volatility is significantly reduced. However, the fuel surcharge may not fully offset fuel price fluctuations during periods of rapid increases or decreases in the price of fuel and is also subject to overall competitive pricing negotiations.

The following table provides information about the Company’s third-party financial instruments as of June 30, 2013. The table presents principal cash flows (in millions) and related weighted average interest rates by contractual maturity dates. The fair value of the fixed rate debt (in millions) was estimated based upon the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Quarterly Controls Evaluation and Related CEO and CFO Certifications

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its “disclosure controls and procedures” (Disclosure Controls). The Disclosure Controls evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Based upon the controls evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s Disclosure Controls are effective to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are certifications of the CEO and the CFO, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. This Controls and Procedures section includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications.

Definition of Disclosure Controls

Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported timely. Disclosure Controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Disclosure Controls include components of its internal control over financial reporting which consists of control processes designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its Disclosure Controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
