Disclosure

This presentation, including documents incorporated herein by reference, will contain forward- looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Data

This presentation includes the use of adjusted operating income, operating ratio, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted pre-tax income, return on net tangible assets and free cash flow, which are financial measures that are not in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Each such measure is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors and lenders. While management believes such measures are useful for investors, they should not be used as a replacement for financial measures that are in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our use of these non-GAAP measures should not be interpreted as indicating that these or similar items could not occur in future periods. In addition, adjusted operating ratio excludes trucking segment fuel surcharges from revenue and nets these surcharges against fuel expense.

Disclosure

On September 8, 2017, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 9, 2017, by Swift Transportation Company ("Swift"), Bishop Merger Sub, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Swift, ("Merger Sub"), and Knight Transportation, Inc. ("Knight"), Merger Sub merged with and into Knight, with Knight surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Swift (the "2017 Merger"). Knight was the accounting acquirer and Swift was the legal acquirer in the 2017 Merger. In accordance with the accounting treatment applicable to the 2017 Merger, throughout this presentation, the reported results do not include the results of operations of Swift and its subsidiaries on and prior to the 2017 Merger date of September 8, 2017 (the "2017 Merger Date"). However, where indicated, certain historical information of Swift and its subsidiaries on and prior to the 2017 Merger Date, including their results of operations and certain operational statistics (collectively, the "Swift Historical Information"), has been provided. Management believes that presentation of the Swift Historical Information will be useful to investors. The Swift Historical Information has not been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Article 11 of Regulation S-X, and it therefore does not reflect any of the pro forma adjustments that would be required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The Swift Historical Information does not purport to indicate the results that would have been obtained had the Swift and Knight businesses been operated together during the periods presented, or which may be realized in the future.

  • Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, this table reconciles consolidated GAAP operating ratio to consolidated non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Ratio.
  • The reported results do not include the results of operations of Abilene and its subsidiaries on and prior to its acquisition by Knight on March 16, 2018 in accordance with the accounting treatment applicable to the transaction.
  • "Amortization of intangibles" reflects the non-cash amortization expense relating to intangible assets identified in the 2017 Merger, Abilene Acquisition, and other acquisitions.
  • We incurred $1.3 million of impairment charges in the fourth quarter of 2019, which were associated with certain revenue equipment technology, warehousing equipment no longer in use, and certain Swift legacy trailer models as a result of a softer used equipment market. The impairments were recorded across various segments, depending on the nature of the impairment. In addition to these

fourth quarter 2019 impairment charges, full-year 2019 includes $2.2 million of impaired leasehold improvements from an early termination of a lease of one of our operating properties. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company incurred impairment charges related to the Company airplane of $2.2 million and incurred impairment charges related to replaced software systems of $0.6 million.

  • "Legal accruals" in the fourth quarter of 2019 include additional legal costs within the non-reportable segments, reflecting revised estimates for various pre-2017 Merger legal matters which were previously disclosed by Swift. During the fourth quarter of 2018 we incurred expenses related to certain class action action lawsuits involving employment-related claims. The amounts are included in "Miscellaneous operating expenses" in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
  • Severance expenses were incurred during the third and fourth quarters of 2018 in relation to certain organizational changes at Swift.
