See notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 6 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CALIBER SYSTEM, INC. Note A - Basis of Presentation - ------------------------------ The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the twelve weeks ended March 23, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. First quarter amounts for 1995 have been restated to reflect the spin-off of Roadway Express, Inc. and the exit from the air freight business served by Roadway Global Air, Inc. during 1995 which are reflected as discontinued operations. During 1995, certain costs were estimated and recognized in connection with the discontinuance of these businesses. Although actual results could differ from these estimates, it is management's opinion that significant adjustments to these estimates are not currently required. For further information, refer to consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. Note B - Accounting Period - -------------------------- The company operates on a 13 four-week period calendar with 12 weeks in each of the first three quarters and 16 weeks in the fourth quarter. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition - -------------------------------------------------------------------- and Results of Operations ------------------------- Consolidated revenue for the first quarter ended March 23, 1996 amounted to $582.1 million, an increase of $38.6 million or 7.1% over first quarter 1995 revenue of $543.5 million. Although revenue increased at all operating units except Roberts Express (Roberts), first quarter revenues were impacted by severe winter weather, including flooding in the northwest, a soft economy and declining rate levels. Revenue at RPS, the company's small-package carrier, increased to $287.7 million or 0.6% over first quarter 1995. Package volume was below first quarter 1995 levels due primarily to the weather and the economy, particularly in the retail sector. Although rates at RPS improved slightly over 1995 levels, a portion of the February rate increase has not been retained due to aggressive discounting in the small-package market. Revenues at Viking Freight (Viking), the company's superregional carrier amounted to $211.3 million, an increase of 13.6% over first quarter 1995. This increase came from higher volume from existing customers, as well as new customers attracted by the consolidation of the company's former regional carrier group. Rate levels at Viking were below first quarter 1995 levels due to continued discounting and overcapacity in the industry. Rates currently appear to be stabilizing. Caliber Logistics revenue increased 49.2% for the first quarter of 1996 compared to 1995, reflecting increased penetration of the logistics market. Roberts, the company's expedited carrier, experienced a revenue decline of 9.3% due principally to the sluggish economy. 6 7 Total operating expenses increased $53.9 million or 10.6% over the first quarter 1995. This increase resulted primarily from higher business volumes at Viking and Caliber Logistics, which reported operating expense increases of 16.9% and 51.2%, respectively. Operating supplies and expenses at Viking were impacted not only by volume growth but also by the consolidation costs associated with the conversion of four regional freight carriers to a common operating system and standardization of business practices among the regional operating units, a process that continues. Operating expenses increased 3.6% at RPS due primarily to the impact of the winter weather and increased fixed costs resulting from the company's continuing expansion. The decline in insurance and claims related expenses of 7.1% in the first quarter 1996 is attributable to on-going claims management and safety-related programs. Depreciation expense increased 17.9% over first quarter 1995 levels due to continuing expansion at RPS, and continuing investments in technology and systems development primarily at RPS and Viking. Operating income amounted to $18.2 million for the first quarter 1996 compared to $33.5 million for 1995 and operating margins declined from 6.2% to 3.1%. Despite stringent cost controls at RPS, operating income decreased 23.6% from the first quarter 1995. In addition to the weather, RPS was negatively impacted by lower than planned volume and increased fixed costs from expansion. Viking's operating margins were impacted by lower rates, consolidation costs, and to a lesser extent weather, resulting in an increased operating loss of $7 million over 1995. The change in other expense, net, reflected additional interest expense (net of amounts capitalized) of $1.5 million over first quarter 1995 levels and the loss of interest income from discontinued operations, which amounted to $1.8 million for the first quarter of 1995. Income taxes were 43.2% of pre-tax income for the first quarter 1996 which approximated the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1995. This rate exceeded the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to state income taxes and non-deductible operating costs. Discounting and the effects of overcapacity in the industry are expected to continue throughout the remainder of 1996 causing industry margins to remain under pressure. Although first quarter package volume at RPS was below plan, the company expects an increase in current year revenue and operating income at RPS through expanded service offerings and effective cost controls. By the end of June, 1996 RPS will open 32 new terminals, extending service to 100% of the U.S. population. RPS is also investing in state-of-the-art package handling equipment and technology and increasing its penetration of the overnight ground delivery market. The consolidation efforts at Viking are on target and are expected to be completed by the end of 1996. Operating losses at Viking for the current year are now expected to approximate $35 million with the majority of this loss being incurred in the first half of 1996. All operating units will continue to strengthen their respective service channels for customers wanting to work with individual carriers for specific services and products, while the company also directs significant resources to meeting customer requirements for blended transportation, logistics and related information services. Net cash provided by operating activities of $3 million was not sufficient to fund net property additions of $34.5 million and dividends of $13.7 million, requiring the company to incur outside borrowings. Borrowings under financing agreements amounted to $235.4 million at the end of the first quarter. The company believes it will be able to arrange financing through a combination of new and existing sources that, together with cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund its projected capital expenditures and provide adequate 7 8 levels of working capital and funds for payments of dividends and interest. Total capital expenditures in 1996 are currently projected at approximately $335 million. The foregoing contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from current expectations due to a number of factors, including general economic conditions; weather conditions; competitive initiatives and pricing pressures; availability and cost of capital; shifts in market demand; the performance and needs of industries served by the company's businesses; actual future costs of operating expenses such as fuel and related taxes; self-insurance claims and employee wages and benefits; actual costs of continuing investments in technology; and the actual costs and effects of the continuing consolidation of the regional carriers.

("REX") prior to December 15, 1995 and on January 1, 1996 ("REX Employee") shall become an obligation under the Roadway Express, Inc. Long-Term Stock Award Incentive Plan ("REX LTS Plan"). On and after 3 3 January 1, 1996, all distributions to a REX Employee shall be made pursuant to the terms of the REX LTS Plan. Effective January 1, 1996, the obligations assumed by REX pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section shall reduce the Company's obligations under this Plan. ARTICLE TWO: VALUATION OF STOCK CREDIT AWARDS 2.1 The Basic Stock Credit Award for Plan Year 1991 shall be valued at $34.00 per share. The value of the Basic Stock Credit Award per share for each Plan Year subsequent to 1991 during which this Plan remains in effect shall be determined by the following formula: 1.16X minus D where: X = The value of the Basic Stock Credit Award per share for the immediately preceding Plan Year. D = The amount of dividends paid per share for the then current Plan Year. 2.2 The value of the Supplemental Stock Credit Award per share for each Plan Year during which this Plan remains in effect shall be equal to the average price of a share of Caliber Common Stock acquired by the Caliber System, Inc. Stock Bonus Plan during the Plan Year. 4 4 ARTICLE THREE: ALLOCATION OF STOCK CREDIT AWARDS 3.1 The number of shares of Caliber Common Stock allocated to all eligible individuals will be determined by the respective boards of directors of the Companies, all within the maximum allowable shares permitted for the Plan Year determined by the Board of Directors of Caliber. 3.1.1 The Basic Stock Credit Award is the number of shares awarded to an Officer by the board of directors of his Company determined for each Plan Year. 3.1.2 The Supplemental Stock Credit Award shall consist of an additional number of shares of Caliber Common Stock designated for award to an Officer, if the amount of company contributions and other annual additions to his Caliber System, Inc. Stock Bonus Plan and Caliber System, Inc. Stock Savings and Retirement Income Plan participant accounts would otherwise exceed the applicable maximum plan limitations imposed by reason of federal tax law requirements. Such number of shares shall be determined by dividing (i) the dollar amount by which the company contributions and other annual additions to the Officer's accounts in the Stock Bonus Plan and Stock Savings and Retirement Income Plan would otherwise exceed the applicable maximum limitation, by (ii) the per share valuation of the Supplemental Stock Credit Award for that year. 3.2 All Stock Credits shall be entered on December 31 of the Plan Year for the entire award for Officers employed by Caliber or an Affiliate on that date and for a pro rata fraction 5 5 of the award for Officers terminated on account of death, disability or retirement. 3.3 For each Officer, a provisional cash account will be carried for amounts equal to dividends that would be payable on the number of Stock Credits credited to his account as of December 31 of the previous year as if such shares had been distributed. As of the end of the then current Plan Year, such cash credit shall be used to add to the number of Stock Credits otherwise to be entered for him on the basis of the valuation set forth in Paragraph 2.1 for such year; provided, however, that the value of the common stock of REX received as a dividend upon the spin-off of REX from Caliber shall be determined based on the average of the closing price of the common stock of REX on the first 15 trading days after the spin-off of REX from Caliber and the value of Stock Credits to be added pursuant to this sentence shall be determined based on the average of the closing price of Caliber Common Stock on the first 15 trading days after the spin-off of REX from Caliber. 3.4 All Stock Credits shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, to the same extent that outstanding Caliber Common Stock is increased or decreased by reason of stock dividends, stock splits or other recapitalization. Except as provided in Section 3.3, any other dividend in kind shall be converted to its cash equivalent and treated as a cash dividend. 6 6 ARTICLE FOUR: VESTING DURING EMPLOYMENT 4.1 All Stock Credits shall become fully vested for an Officer still in the employ of Caliber or an Affiliate upon his death, disability or attainment of age 55. Stock Credits shall otherwise vest only as provided in Article Five. ARTICLE FIVE: DISTRIBUTION 5.1 Stock Credits shall vest and become convertible to shares of Caliber Common Stock to be distributed as follows: 5.1.1 Shares of Caliber Common Stock shall be distributed in five annual installments following his death, the date of his last employment compensation payment by Caliber or an Affiliate or attainment of age 55, whichever is the latest.

ARTICLE IV: RBV SHARES 4.1.1 RESTRICTED BOOK VALUE PORTION. The portion of the Participant's incentive compensation or amounts of Stock Credits designated for the purchase of RBV Shares hereunder is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Restricted Book Value Portion". 4.1.2 DETERMINATION OF PURCHASE AMOUNT. The Restricted Book Value Portion shall consist of two parts: one for (i) required tax withholdings, (ii) Caliber System, Inc.

The Purchase Amount shall be equal to the Restricted Book Value Portion minus the Withholding Amount; provided, however, that the Purchase Amount shall at all times be subject to limitation by the Board of Directors of Caliber. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a limitation imposed by the Board of Directors results in the payment of a portion of the Purchase Amount in cash, Caliber may, at its discretion, include in the cash payment the amount of residual cash otherwise attributable to any fractional share. 4.1.3 ISSUANCE OF RBV SHARES. The Purchase Amount shall be used to cause the issuance at the Committee's convenience after the Determination Date (but prior to March 16 of the year after the Plan Year) of certificates in the Participant's name for that number of RBV Shares equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock which could have been purchased at Book Value on December 31 of the Plan Year. 4.2 TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. RBV Shares may not be sold, assigned, pledged, encumbered, charged, transferred or disposed of in any way except as permitted in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 hereof. 4.3 PERMITTED TRANSFERS.

In addition, on the death or disability of the Participant, his RBV Shares may be transferred to his estate or personal representative and to the person or persons entitled thereto under his last will and testament or under the laws of descent and distribution of his domicile. Any RBV Shares permitted to be transferred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.3 shall continue to be RBV Shares until repurchased in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof. The foregoing notwithstanding, a permitted transferee of RBV Shares may subsequently transfer any of such shares to another immediate family member of the Participant. 4.4 CONDITIONS OF REPURCHASE OR EXCHANGE. RBV Shares are subject to repurchase or exchange as follows: 4.4.1 REPURCHASE PRICE. The price per share at which RBV Shares shall be repurchased shall be the Book Value on December 31 of the year preceding the date of repurchase at which the RBV Shares being repurchased, were initially issued (the "Repurchase Price"). 4.4.2 REPURCHASE AT PARTICIPANT'S ELECTION. On or after the fifth anniversary date of the issuance of RBV Shares to the Participant under Section 4.1, the Participant may tender his 9 9 RBV Shares for repurchase, and, if tendered, such shares shall be repurchased at the Repurchase Price. 4.4.3 REPURCHASE UPON RETIREMENT OR DEATH. If the Participant's employment terminates because of retirement at or prior to the Normal Retirement Date or death prior to retirement, his RBV Shares (whether held by the Participant or any transferee) must be returned for repurchase at the Repurchase Price as follows: at least 10 percent of the Participant's RBV Shares (including any issuable for his final year of employment) shall be repurchased on or before April 1 of the second year following the year in which the Participant's termination of employment occurred; thereafter, at least 20 percent in the aggregate of said shares shall be repurchased on the following April 1 and at least 30% on the next following April 1, and continuing thereafter so that within a ten-year period all said shares shall have been returned for repurchase. 4.4.4 REPURCHASE UPON OTHER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Upon termination of a Participant's employment with his Employer for any reason other than as referred to in Section 4.4.3, all of the Participant's RBV Shares must be returned for repurchase at the Repurchase Price within one year from the date of such termination; provided, however, that RBV Shares purchased with converted Stock Credits pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Stock Credit Plan after such termination, if any, must be returned for repurchase at the Repurchase Price within one year from the date of such purchase. 10 10 4.4.5 REPURCHASE ONLY AFTER AUDIT. In the event RBV Shares are returned for repurchase during January of any year pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Article IV, such shares shall be repurchased on or about April 1 of such year, but in any event after the Determination Date under the applicable Employer Incentive Compensation Plan for the preceding year. 4.4.6 LEGENDING AND ESCROW OF CERTIFICATES. Certificates representing RBV Shares shall bear a legend to the effect that they are subject to restriction on transfer or disposition in accordance with this Plan. In aid of such restrictions, and as a matter of administrative convenience, the Committee shall, with the authority hereby given by the Participant, deposit for the Participant's account the certificate or certificates representing the Participant's RBV Shares, together with such appropriate documentation as may be requested by the Committee, with a bank selected by the Committee under an escrow agreement containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. The Participant, however, retains the right to require any escrow agent to redeliver the RBV Shares to the Participant subject to all of the other provisions of this Article IV and this Plan. 4.4.7 EXCHANGE WITHOUT CASH. In lieu of any right or obligation to repurchase RBV Shares for cash pursuant to the terms of this Plan, the Committee may, but is not obligated to, authorize the issuance in exchange for the RBV Shares otherwise to be purchased, of that number of shares of its Common Stock 11 11 equal to the number of RBV Shares exchanged times the ratio determined by dividing the Repurchase Price by the Price for Common Stock as of December 31 of the year preceding the date of such exchange. The Common Stock thus issued shall be free of the restrictions provided for in this Article IV but subject to any restrictions under applicable securities laws. 4.4.8 EXCHANGE WITH CASH. Upon request of the Participant made at any time the Participant desires to tender his RBV Shares for repurchase as permitted by Section 4.4.2 hereof, the Committee may (but is not obligated to) permit the Participant to tender an amount of cash equal to the positive difference of the Price less the Repurchase Price as of December 31 of the year preceding the tender, times the number of RBV Shares tendered therewith and to receive back the same number of shares of Common Stock free of the restrictions provided for in this Article IV but subject to any restrictions under applicable securities law. Once a participant has made such a request, it may not be withdrawn without the consent of the Committee. 4.4.9 CERTAIN TENDER OFFERS. In the event of a tender offer for the Common Stock subject to Regulation 14D or 14E under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the acceptance of which tender offer is either (i) recommended to shareholders by the Board of Directors of Caliber, or (ii) not opposed by such Board, or (iii) involves an acquisition device in which any of the shareholders may exercise dissenters' rights under any provision of Chapter 1701 of the Ohio Revised Code, then in any 12 12 such event, the Committee may unilaterally confer upon the Participant the benefits of both Sections 4.4.7 and 4.4.8 with respect to any or all of the Participant's RBV Shares. 4.4.10 REPURCHASE UPON SPIN-OFF OF ROADWAY EXPRESS, INC. Upon the spin-off of Roadway Express, Inc. from Caliber, each Participant who was an employee of Roadway Express, Inc. on January 1, 1996 shall be required to return his RBV Shares for repurchase at the Repurchase Price within one year from the date of such spin-off. 4.5 REPURCHASE OR EXCHANGE IN CERTAIN SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. The Committee may also accelerate the date on which the Participant's RBV Shares may be repurchased under Section 4.4 or exchanged for Common Stock under Section 4.4.7, to such date or dates as the Committee shall determine, if, in the sole judgment of the Committee, the acceleration is justified (i) by the death or disability of the Participant, (ii) by hardship suffered by the Participant, or (iii) for any other reason which the Committee may deem to be in the best interests of the Participant or his Employer. 4.6 SUBDIVISIONS AND COMBINATIONS OF SHARES. If any subdivision, combination or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reclassification, distribution of a stock dividend, corporate reorganization, consolidation, merger or otherwise shall occur, the number of RBV Shares issued under Article IV shall be accordingly increased, decreased or otherwise appropriately changed as the Committee may determine. To the 13 13 extent that, because of any such change, the Participant, former Participant, or his legal representative or transferee as permitted herein shall as the owner of RBV Shares be entitled to new, additional or different shares of stock or securities, the certificates for such new, additional or different shares or securities, together with such appropriate documentation as may be requested by the Committee, shall be deposited by the Participant, legal representative or transferee under the escrow referred to in Section 4.4.6 hereof. All provisions of Article IV shall be applicable to such new, additional or different shares or securities issued with respect to RBV Shares. 4.7 RIGHTS, WARRANTS, ETC. If the Participant, former Participant, his legal representative or transferee as permitted herein, shall receive rights, warrants or fractional interest in respect of RBV Shares, such rights or warrants may be held, exercised, sold or otherwise disposed of, and such fractional interest may be settled free and clear of any restrictions under Article IV, except any restrictions imposed by federal or state securities laws. ARTICLE V: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 5.1 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board of Directors of Caliber may amend or terminate the Plan at any time without the consent of any Participant or any other person. In the event of any such termination, the Board may require each holder of RBV Shares to tender them to Caliber for repurchase at the Repurchase Price. Caliber shall not be required, however, to provide for 14 14 any such repurchase and may make any other provision for the settlement of outstanding awards that it considers, in its sole discretion, to be equitable. 5.2 DISPUTES. In the event that any disagreement, dispute or controversy shall hereafter exist between an Employer and a Participant or the Committee and a Participant as to any matter arising under this Plan, whether as to construction, interpretation or operation thereof, or the respective rights and liabilities of the parties hereunder, or as to the payment or receipt of any sum of money, or otherwise, then such disagreement, dispute or controversy shall be settled by arbitration by three arbitrators. Within thirty (30) days after either party delivers to the other party a written request for arbitration, each shall appoint one arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall together then appoint a third arbitrator within ten (10) days after the first two arbitrators are appointed. If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator within such time, or if the two arbitrators fail to appoint the third arbitrator within the specified period, then such arbitrator or such third arbitrator, as the case may be, shall be selected pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association upon application of either party. It shall be the duty of the arbitrators to make the determination required hereunder as expeditiously as possible after their appointment. A determination by a majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding. Each party shall pay the cost of his or its arbitrator and one-half of the cost of the 15 15 third arbitrator and the cost of the arbitration itself. All arbitration proceedings shall be held in the place of the Participant's domicile. 5.3 ADOPTION BY EMPLOYERS. This Plan may be adopted by an Employer by inclusion of the substance hereof in a specific incentive compensation agreement or stand alone plan adopted by an Employer. EX-27 4 EXHIBIT 27
