Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- GENERAL
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 (VIE) where Ryder is determined to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Ryder is deemed to be the primary beneficiary if we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and we share in the significant risks and rewards of the entity. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including 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 not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year. Certain prior period amounts disclosed within the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
We report our financial performance based onthree business segments: (1) Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides full service leasing and leasing with flexible maintenance options, commercial rental and maintenance services of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the United States (U.S.) and Canada; (2) Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides integrated logistics solutions, including distribution management, dedicated transportation, transportation management, brokerage, e-commerce, last mile, and professional services in North America; and (3) Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS), which provides turnkey transportation solutions in the U.S., including dedicated vehicles, professional drivers, management, and administrative support. Dedicated transportation services provided as part of an operationally integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution to SCS customers are primarily reported in the SCS business segment.
- SEGMENT REPORTING
Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as segment "Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes" (EBT), includes an allocation of costs from Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes Non-operating pension costs, net, intangible amortization expense, and certain other items as discussed in Note 14, "Other Items Impacting Comparability." 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 accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation. 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.

Residual Value Estimate Changes
We periodically review and adjust, as appropriate, the estimated residual values and useful lives of existing revenue earning equipment for the purposes of recording depreciation expense. Reductions in estimated residual values or useful lives will increase depreciation expense over the remaining useful life of the vehicle. Conversely, an increase in estimated residual values or useful lives will decrease depreciation expense over the remaining useful life of the vehicle. At the end of the vehicle's useful life or termination of the lease, the vehicle is either sold to a third party or purchased by the lessee, in which case we may record a gain or loss for the difference between the estimated residual value and the sale price.
Our review of the estimated residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment is based on vehicle class (i.e., generally subcategories of trucks, tractors and trailers by weight and usage), historical and current market prices, third-party expected future market prices, expected lives of vehicles, and expected sales in the wholesale or retail markets, among other factors. A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, could cause residual value estimates to differ from actual used vehicle sales pricing, such as changes in supply and demand of used vehicles; volatility in market conditions; changes in vehicle technology; competitor pricing; regulatory requirements; wholesale market prices; customer requirements and preferences; and changes in underlying assumption factors. We have disciplines related to the management and maintenance of our vehicles designed to manage the risk associated with the residual values of our revenue earning equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not adjust the estimated residual values and useful lives of existing revenue earning equipment.
Used Vehicle Sales and Valuation Adjustments
Revenue earning equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses on vehicles held for sale for which carrying values exceeded fair value, which we refer to as "valuation adjustments," are recognized at the time they are deemed to meet the held-for-sale criteria and are presented within "Used vehicle sales, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, we stratify our fleet by vehicle type (trucks, tractors and trailers), weight class, age and other relevant characteristics and create classes of similar assets for analysis purposes. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, fair value was determined based upon recent market prices obtained from our own sales experience for each class of similar assets and vehicle condition, if available, or third-party market pricing. In addition, we also consider expected declines in market prices, as well as, forecasted sales channel mix (retail/wholesale) when valuing the vehicles held for sale.
The following table presents our assets held for sale that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and considered a Level 3 fair value measurement:
| Valuation Adjustments | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2024 · December 31, 2023 · Three months ended March 31, | ||||

| Trailers and other | 4 | 4 | 1 | 1 |
| Total assets at fair value | $47 | $47 | $10 | $3 |
The table above reflects only the portion where net book values of revenue earnings equipment held for sale exceeded fair values and valuation adjustments were recorded. The net book value of assets held for sale that were less than fair value was $134 million and $121 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

| Total debt proceeds | $896 | Total debt repaid | $763 |
(1)Proceeds from medium-term notes presented net of discount and issuance costs.
Debt proceeds were used to repay maturing debt and for general corporate purposes. If the unsecured medium-term notes are downgraded below investment grade following, or as a result of, a change in control, the note holders can require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of principal value plus accrued and unpaid interest.
As of March 31, 2024, there was $540 million available under the global revolving credit facility. In order to maintain availability of funding, we must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated net worth of less than or equal to 300%, as defined in the credit facility agreement. As of March 31, 2024, the ratio was 190%.
We had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding of $477 million and $466 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.
As of March 31, 2024, the available proceeds under the trade receivables financing program were $197 million. As of March 31, 2024, utilization of this program included borrowing of $20 million and letters of credit outstanding of $83 million.
- SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
We currently maintaintwo share repurchase programs approved by our board of directors in October 2023. The first program authorized management to repurchase up to 2 million shares issued to employees under our employee stock plans since August 31, 2023, under a new anti-dilutive program (the "2023 Anti-Dilutive Program"). The second program grants management discretion to repurchase up to 2 million shares of common stock over a period oftwo years under a new discretionary share repurchase program (the "October 2023 Discretionary Program"). Both the 2023 Anti-Dilutive Program and the October 2023 Discretionary Program commenced October 12, 2023, and expire October 12, 2025. Share repurchases under both programs can be made from time to time using our working capital and other borrowing sources. Shares are repurchased under open-market transactions and trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors, including balance sheet leverage, availability of acquisitions and stock price.
The discretionary share repurchase programs are designed to provide management with capital structure flexibility while concurrently managing objectives related to balance sheet leverage, acquisition opportunities, and shareholder returns. The anti-dilutive share repurchase programs are designed to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans.
The following table provides the activity for shares repurchased and retired:
| Three months ended March 31, | ||||

Non-operating pension costs, net include theamortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement benefit costs, as well as any significant charges for settlements or curtailments if recognized. We do not expect to contribute to our pension plans in 2024. We also maintain other postretirement benefit plans that are not reflected in the table above as the amount of postretirement benefit expense for such plans was not material for any period presented.
- OTHER ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY
Our primary measure of segment performance as shown in Note 2, "Segment Reporting," excludes certain items we do not believe are representative of the ongoing operations of our business segments.

- CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS
We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our continuing business operations, including those relating to commercial and employment claims, environmental matters, risk management matters (e.g., vehicle liability, workers' compensation, etc.) and administrative assessments primarily associated with operating taxes. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. We believe that the resolution of these claims, complaints and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our estimated liability based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.
Securities Litigation Relating to Residual Value Estimates
On May 20, 2020, a putative class action on behalf of purchasers of our securities who purchased or otherwise acquired their securities between July 23, 2015 and February 13, 2020, inclusive (Class Period), was commenced against Ryder and certain of our current and former officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the "Securities Class Action"). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants misrepresented Ryder's depreciation policy and residual value estimates for its vehicles during the Class Period, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and seeks to recover, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and attorneys' fees and costs. On August 3, 2020, the State of Alaska, Alaska Permanent Fund, City of Fort Lauderdale General Employees' Retirement System, and City of Plantation Police Officers Pension Fund were appointed lead plaintiffs. On October 5, 2020, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On December 4, 2020, Ryder and the other named defendants in the case filed a Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint. On May 12, 2022, the court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss. The court entered a case management schedule on June 27, 2022, which, among other things, provides that discovery shall be completed by October 2023 and trial shall commence in June 2024. On April 18, 2023, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the Securities Class Action. On May 19, 2023, plaintiffs filed an unopposed Motion for Preliminary Approval of the settlement, with corresponding settlement documentation. On February 20, 2024, the court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement and authorizing dissemination of the notice of settlement. We expect that the settlement amount will be covered by insurance, and accordingly is not material to our financial position or results of operations.
Between June 2020 and February 2, 2021, five shareholder derivative complaints were filed purportedly on behalf of Ryder against us as nominal defendant and certain of our current and former officers and directors. The derivative complaints are generally based on the allegations set forth in the Securities Class Action and allege breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment and waste of corporate assets. The derivative plaintiffs, on our behalf, seek an award of monetary damages and restitution to us, improvements in our corporate governance and internal procedures, and legal fees. Three of these derivative complaints were filed in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, and were then consolidated into a single action (the "State Action"). Two of the derivative complaints were filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the "Federal Actions", and together with the State Action, the "Derivative Cases"). All of the Derivative Cases were stayed (stopped) pending the resolution of the motion to dismiss the Securities Class Action. On July 18, 2022, the Federal Actions were further stayed pending the final resolution of the State Action. On July 26, 2022, the State Action was further stayed until the conclusion of summary judgment proceedings in the Securities Class Action (except that certain discovery would be permitted). In September 2023, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the Derivative Cases in exchange for certain specified corporate reforms, subject to the execution of definitive settlement documentation and court approval. We expect that any settlement amount of plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with the settlement of the Derivative Cases also will be covered by insurance, and accordingly is not material to our financial position or results of operations.

- ACQUISITIONS
On February 1, 2024, we acquired all the outstanding equity of CLH Parent Corporation (Cardinal Logistics) for a purchase price of $297 million. Cardinal Logistics is a leading customized dedicated contract carrier in North America, providing dedicated fleets and professional drivers, as well as complementary freight brokerage services, last-mile delivery and contract logistics services. We expect that the acquisition will increase our scale and network density and further advances our strategy to accelerate growth in DTS.
We believe that we have sufficient information to provide a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation excludes certain items to be resolved post-closing with the seller, which may result in additional adjustments to the final purchase price. Therefore, the provisional measurements of estimated fair values reflected are subject to change. We have preliminarily estimated goodwill of $74 million and intangible assets, net of $165 million for the Cardinal Logistics acquisition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. We expect to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase consideration allocation no later than one year from the acquisition date.
