Our service offerings, which include expedited transportation, are provided through an expansive network of service centers located throughout the continental United States. Through strategic alliances, we also provide LTL services throughout North America. In addition to our core LTL services, we offer a range of value-added services including container drayage, truckload brokerage and supply chain consulting. We haveone operating segment and the composition of our revenue is summarized below:
| Three Months Ended · Nine Months Ended | ||||

| LTL services | $1,457,108 | $1,501,266 | $4,388,808 | $4,323,453 |
| Other services | 13,103 | 14,011 | 40,173 | 47,149 |
| Total revenue from operations | $1,470,211 | $1,515,277 | $4,428,981 | $4,370,602 |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited, interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and, in management’s opinion, contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
The preparation of condensed financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our operating results are subject to seasonal trends; therefore, the results of operations for the interim period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the subsequent quarterly period or the year ending December 31, 2024.
The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes, which appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes in the accounting principles and policies, long-term contracts or estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed financial statements of Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. as previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q.
Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform prior years’ financial statements to the current presentation.
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in these Notes to “Old Dominion,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc.
Common Stock Split
On February 16, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors approved atwo-for-one split of our common stock for shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date of March 13, 2024. On March 27, 2024, those shareholders receivedone additional share of common stock for every share owned.
All references in this report to shares outstanding, weighted average shares outstanding, earnings per share, and dividends per share amounts have been restated retroactively to reflect this stock split.
Stock Repurchase Program
On July 28, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to an aggregate of $2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock (the “2021 Repurchase Program”). The 2021 Repurchase Program began after completion of our prior repurchase program in January 2022 and was completed in May 2024.
On July 26, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to an aggregate of $3.0 billion of our outstanding common stock (the “2023 Repurchase Program”). The 2023 Repurchase Program, which does not have an expiration date, began after the completion of the 2021 Repurchase Program in May 2024.
Under our repurchase programs, we may repurchase shares from time to time in open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions. Shares of our common stock repurchased under our repurchase programs are canceled at the time of repurchase and are classified as authorized but unissued shares of our common stock.
On May 28, 2024, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the "ASR Agreement") with a third-party financial institution. The ASR Agreement is accounted for as a settled treasury stock purchase and a forward stock purchase contract. The par value of the initial shares received is recorded as a reduction to common stock, with the excess purchase price recorded as a reduction to retained earnings. The forward stock purchase contract is accounted for as a contract indexed to our own stock and is classified within capital in excess of par value on our Condensed Balance Sheets. The ASR Agreement is settled with the final number of shares received based on the daily volume-weighted average share price of our common stock over the term of the agreement, less a negotiated discount.
Under the ASR Agreement, we paid the third-party financial institution $200.0 million and received an initial delivery of 923,201 shares of our common stock for $160.0 million, representing approximately 80% of the total value of shares to be received by us under the ASR Agreement. The remaining shares are expected to settle no later than November 2024.
At September 30, 2024, our 2023 Repurchase Program had $2.44 billion remaining available. The amount available and uncommitted is $2.40 billion, which reflects the $40.0 million forward stock purchase contract under the ASR Agreement.
Note 2. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the daily weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding for the period, excluding unvested restricted stock. Unvested restricted stock is included in common shares outstanding on our Condensed Balance Sheets.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the treasury stock method. The denominator used in calculating diluted earnings per share includes the impact of unvested restricted stock and other dilutive, non-participating securities under our equity award agreements. The denominator excludes contingently-issuable shares under performance-based award agreements when the performance target has not yet been deemed achieved.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the number of shares of common stock used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share:
| Three Months Ended · Nine Months Ended | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 30, | September 30, | |||
| (In thousands) | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Weighted average shares outstanding - basic | 214,089 | 218,387 | 216,010 | 219,108 |
| Dilutive effect of share-based awards | 1,138 | 1,283 | 1,175 | 1,361 |
| Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted | 215,227 | 219,670 | 217,185 | 220,469 |
Note 3. Long-Term Debt

| Less: Current maturities | (20,000) | (20,000) |
| Total maturities due after one year | $39,985 | $59,977 |
Note Agreement
On May 4, 2020, we entered into a Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement with PGIM, Inc. (“Prudential”) and certain affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential (as subsequently amended on March 22, 2023 and August 28, 2024, the “Note Agreement”). The Note Agreement, which is uncommitted and subject to Prudential’s sole discretion, provides for the issuance of senior promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of up to $350.0 million through March 22, 2026. On May 4, 2020, we issued $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior promissory notes (the “Series B Notes”). Borrowing availability under the Note Agreement is reduced by the outstanding amount of the existing Series B Notes, and all other senior promissory notes issued pursuant to the Note Agreement.
The Series B Notes bear interest at 3.10% per annum and mature on May 4, 2027, unless prepaid. The second principal payment of $20.0 million was paid on May 4, 2024. The remaining $60.0 million will be paid in three equal annual installments of $20.0 million through May 4, 2027. The Series B Notes are senior unsec ured obligations and rank pari passu with borrowings under our third amended and restated credit agreement, dated March 22, 2023, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as administrative agent for the lenders (as subsequently amended on August 28, 2024, the “Credit Agreement”) or other senior promissory notes issued pursuant to the Note Agreement.
Credit Agreement
The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year, $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving line of credit and a $150.0 million accordion feature, which if fully exercised and approved, would expand the total borrowing capacity up to an aggregate of $400.0 million. Of the $250.0 million line of credit commitments under the Credit Agreement, up to $100.0 million may be used for letters of credit.
At our option, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either: (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, as defined in the Credit Agreement, equal to 0.100%, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.000% to 1.375%; or (ii) a Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 0.000% to 0.375%. The applicable margin for each of the foregoing options is dependent upon our consolidated debt to consolidated total capitalization ratio. Letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin for SOFR loans are charged quarterly in arrears on the daily average aggregate stated amount of all letters of credit outstanding during the quarter. Commitment fees ranging from 0.090% to 0.175% (based upon our consolidated debt to total consolidated capitalization ratio) are charged quarterly in arrears on the aggregate unutilized portion of the Credit Agreement.
For periods covered under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin on SOFR loans and letter of credit fees were 1.000% and commitment fees were 0.090%.
The Credit Agreement replaced our previous five-year, $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit agreement dated as of November 21, 2019 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). For periods in 2023 covered under the Prior Credit Agreement, the applicable margin on LIBOR loans and letter of credit fees was 1.000% and commitment fees were 0.100%.
There were $37.7 million and $40.0 million of outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
General Debt Provisions
The Credit Agreement and Note Agreement contain customary covenants, including financial covenants that require us to observe a maximum ratio of debt to total capital and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Agreement and Note Agreement also include a provision limiting our ability to make restricted payments, including dividends and payments for share repurchases, unless, among other conditions, no defaults or events of default are ongoing (or would be caused by such restricted payment).
Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in or addressing various legal proceedings and claims, governmental inquiries, notices and investigations that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business and have not been fully adjudicated, some of which may be covered in whole or in part by insurance. Certain of these matters include collective and/or class-action allegations. We do not believe that the resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 5. Fair Value Measurements
Short-term Investments
We held no short-term investments as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Long-term Debt
The carrying value of our total long-term debt, including current maturities, was $60.0 million and $80.0 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The estimated fair value of our total long-term debt, including current maturities, was$57.3 million and $75.4 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value measurement of our Series B Notes was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis that factors in current market yields for comparable borrowing arrangements under our credit profile. Since this methodology is based upon market yields for comparable arrangements, the measurement is categorized as Level 2 under the three-level fair value hierarchy as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
