Cost of earned revenues declined as a percentage of revenue due to lower labor costs and reduced fuel prices. This decline was partially offset by increases in expenses for safety claims and other operating costs as a percentage of revenue. G&A declined primarily from reduced labor costs, stock-based compensation and professional fees. Depreciation & amortization declined from assets becoming full depreciated and asset sales. Interest expense decreased due to lower debt balances outstanding in the current period. Provision for income taxes-Non-GAAP decreased due to a lower level of taxable earnings in the current period.
