NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YRC Worldwide Inc. and Subsidiaries

(Unaudited)

Certain of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contain forward-looking statements, as described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

1. Description of Business

YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a holding company that, through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and its interest in a Chinese joint venture, offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. We have one of the largest, most comprehensive less-than-truckload (“LTL”) networks in North America with local, regional, national and international capabilities. Through our team of experienced service professionals, we offer expertise in LTL shipments and flexible supply chain solutions, ensuring customers can ship industrial, commercial and retail goods with confidence. Our reporting segments include the following:

• YRC Freight is the reporting segment that focuses on longer haul business opportunities with national, regional and international services. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This reporting segment includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Inc. (our YRC Freight operations in the United States) and Reimer Express, a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.

• Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. Regional Transportation is comprised of USF Holland Inc. (“Holland”), New Penn Motor Express, Inc. (“New Penn”) and USF Reddaway Inc. (“Reddaway”). These companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

At September 30, 2014, approximately 78% of our labor force is subject to collective bargaining agreements, which predominantly expire in March 2019.

2. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We report on a calendar year basis. The quarters of the Regional Transportation companies (with the exception of New Penn) consist of thirteen weeks that end on a Saturday either before or after the end of March, June and September, whereas all other operating segment quarters end on the natural calendar quarter end. Our investment in our non-majority owned affiliate is accounted for on the equity method.

We make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have prepared the Consolidated Financial Statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these financial statements herein have been made. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Assets Held for Sale

When we plan to dispose of property or equipment by sale, the asset is recorded in the financial statements at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value, less cost to sell, and is reclassified to assets held for sale. Additionally, after such reclassification, there is no further depreciation taken on the asset. For an asset to be classified as held for sale, management must approve and commit to a formal plan, the sale should be anticipated during the ensuing year and the asset must be actively marketed,

7

be available for immediate sale, and meet certain other specified criteria. We use level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of each property considered held for sale.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net book value of assets held for sale was $16.5 million and $17.2 million, respectively. This amount is included in “Property and Equipment” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recorded charges of $0.8 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $0.6 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, to reduce properties held for sale to estimated fair value, less cost to sell. These charges are included in “(Gains) losses on property disposals, net” in the accompanying statements of consolidated comprehensive income (loss).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014:

			Fair Value Measurement Hierarchy
(in millions)	Total Carrying Value		Quoted prices in active market (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Restricted amounts held in escrow-current	$	33.6	$	33.6	$	—	$	—

Restricted amounts held in escrow are invested in money market accounts and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we reclassified the amortization of our net pension loss totaling $1.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net loss. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified the amortization of our net pension loss totaling $3.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income (loss). This reclassification is a component of net periodic pension cost and is discussed in the “Employees’ Benefits” footnote.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new authoritative literature, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The issuance is part of a joint effort by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to enhance financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and, thereby, improving the consistency of requirements, comparability of practices and usefulness of disclosures. The new standard will supersede much of the existing authoritative literature for revenue recognition. The standard and related amendments will be effective for the Company for its annual reporting period ending December 31, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. Entities are allowed to transition to the new standard by either recasting prior periods or recognizing the cumulative effect. While we do not believe the newly-issued guidance will have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is currently evaluating the newly-issued guidance, including which transition approach will be applied.

In August 2014, the FASB issued new authoritative literature, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard provides guidance around management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for our fiscal year December 31, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this newly-issued guidance and the impact, if any, it will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. 2014 Financing Transactions

On January 31, 2014, we issued 14,333,334 shares of our Common Stock and 583,334 shares of our Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to certain stock purchase agreements, dated as of December 22, 2013 (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”), for an aggregate $250.0 million in cash. We used the proceeds from these transactions to, among other things, (i) repay our 6% Convertible Senior

8

Notes (“6% Notes”) at their maturity on February 15, 2014 and (ii) repurchase $90.9 million of our Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes (“Series A Notes”). In February 2014, the Company deposited $89.6 million with the trustee to fund the redemption (including accrued interest), and thereby discharged the indenture governing the Series A Notes. The Company used the cash deposited with the trustee to redeem its Series A Notes on August 5, 2014.

Also on January 31, 2014, certain holders of our 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes (“Series B Notes”) exchanged their outstanding balances at a conversion price of $15.00 per share, while another holder converted its Series B Notes in accordance with their existing terms. We also amended the indenture governing our Series B Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other related provisions contained in the indenture and to release and discharge the liens on the collateral securing the Series B Notes.

Effective January 31, 2014, certain of our subsidiaries, various pension funds party thereto, and Wilmington Trust Company, as agent for such pension funds, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement (“Second A&R CDA”), which, among other things (i) amended and restated the Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement (“A&R CDA”), (ii) released the agent’s security interest in third priority collateral on the Collateral Release Date, (iii) limited the value of obligations secured by the collateral to the Secured Obligations and (iv) extended the maturity of deferred pension payments and deferred interest from March 31, 2015 to December 31, 2019.

On February 13, 2014, we replaced our existing credit facilities with a new $450 million asset-based loan (the “New ABL Facility”) and a new $700 million term loan facility (“New Term Loan”). The New ABL Facility supports our outstanding letters of credit commitments.

We refer to transactions described above collectively as the “2014 Financing Transactions.” The table below summarizes the cash flow activity for the 2014 Financing Transactions:

Cash Sources (in millions)			Cash Uses (in millions)
New Term Loan	$	700.0	Extinguish Prior ABL Facility (includes accrued interest)	$	326.0
Proceeds from sale of common stock	215.0		Extinguish Prior Term Loan (includes accrued interest)	299.7
Proceeds from sale of convertible preferred stock	35.0		Retire 6% Notes	71.5
Cash proceeds from restricted amounts held in escrow - Prior ABL facility	90.0		Repurchase Series A Notes (includes accrued interest)	93.9
New ABL Facility	—		Redeem Series A Notes (on August 5, 2014 and includes accrued interest)	89.6
			Fees, Expenses and Original Issuance Discount	50.8
			Restricted Cash to Balance Sheet (a)	92.0
			Cash to Balance Sheet	16.5
Total sources	$	1,040.0	Total uses	$	1,040.0

(a) Under the terms of the New ABL facility, this amount was classified as “restricted cash” in the consolidated balance sheet at the closing date of the New ABL Facility.

The table below summarizes the non-cash activity for the 2014 Financing Transactions:

Non-Cash Sources (in millions)			Non-Cash Uses (in millions)
Secured Second A&R CDA	$	51.0	A&R CDA	$	124.2
Unsecured Second A&R CDA	73.2		Exchange/conversion of Series B Notes to common stock	50.6
Exchange/conversion of Series B Notes to common stock	50.6
Total sources	$	174.8	Total uses	$	174.8

9

We accounted for the A&R CDA maturity extension as a debt modification and the remaining transactions as extinguishment of debt and issuance of new debt. We recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $11.2 million associated with this transaction during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, $16.3 million of which related to the acceleration of net premiums on our old debt, partially offset by $5.1 million of additional expense related to the fair value of the incremental shares provided to those Series B Note holders who exchanged their outstanding balances at a conversion price of $15.00 per share. We recorded, in “interest expense” on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income (loss), $8.0 million of make-whole interest related to the Series B Notes exchanged during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We paid $43.8 million of fees associated with these transactions of which $26.7 million was recorded as unamortized deferred debt costs in “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheet and will be recognized as interest expense over the term of the New Term Loan and New ABL Facility and $17.1 million offset the equity proceeds of our stock purchase agreements.

On March 14, 2014, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which our stockholders approved amending our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and to allow an individual investor to own more than 19.99% of outstanding Common Stock. Upon approval of these amendments, each outstanding share of Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into four shares of Common Stock and the Company recorded $18.1 million related to the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature on preferred stock on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income (loss).

$700 Million First Lien Term Loan

On February 13, 2014, we borrowed in full $700 million, less a 1% discount, from a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions arranged by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) and RBS Citizens, N.A. No amounts under this New Term Loan, once repaid, may be reborrowed. On September 25, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to its Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), which amended the New Term Loan to, among other things, adjust the maximum permitted total leverage ratio through December 31, 2016 and increase the applicable interest rate (subject to the exceptions discussed below) over the same period. Certain material provisions of the New Term Loan, after giving affect to the Credit Agreement Amendment, are summarized below:

- Maturity and Amortization: The New Term Loan matures on February 13, 2019. The New Term Loan will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the New Term Loan.

- Incremental: Subject to finding current or new lenders willing to provide such commitments, the Company has the right to incur one or more increases to the New Term Loan and/or one or more new tranches of term loans (which may be unsecured or secured on a junior basis) to be made available under the New Term Loan credit agreement which shall not exceed (i) $250 million so long as the senior secured leverage ratio on a pro forma basis (defined as consolidated total debt that is secured by a lien as of such date over Consolidated EBITDA as of the twelve months ended the most recent fiscal quarter end for which financial statements are available) does not exceed 3.25 to 1.00, plus (ii) all voluntary prepayments of the New Term Loan.

- Interest and Fees: The New Term Loan bears interest, at the election of the borrower, at either the applicable London interbank offer rate (“LIBOR”) (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus a margin of 7.25% per annum, or a rate determined by reference to the alternate base rate (the greater of the prime rate established by the administrative agent, the federal fund rate plus 0.50% and one month, LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus a margin of 6.25%; provided that such margins will step down by 0.25% when the Company meets a total leverage ratio of equal or less than 3.25 to 1.00.

- Guarantors: The obligations of the borrower under the New Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by certain wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries of the Company (the “Term Guarantors”).

- Collateral: The New Term Loan is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantors under the New Term Loan (the “Term Guarantors”), except that accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts and other assets related to accounts receivable are subject to a second priority interest (subject to permitted liens) and certain owned real property securing the obligations under the Second A&R CDA filed January 31, 2014, do not secure the obligations under the New Term Loan credit agreement (the “CDA Collateral”).

- Mandatory Prepayments: The New Term Loan includes the following mandatory prepayments:

• 75% of excess cash flow (as defined in the New Term Loan and paid if permitted under the New ABL Facility), subject to stepdowns to (w) 50% if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 but greater than 3.50 to 1.00, to (x) 25% if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 but greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (y) 0% if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00;

• 100% of the net cash proceeds of all asset sales or similar dispositions outside of the ordinary course of business, casualty events and other limited exceptions under the New Term Loan (subject to materiality thresholds and customary reinvestment rights); and

• 100% of cash proceeds from debt issuances that are not permitted by the New Term Loan.

- Events of Default: The New Term Loan documentation contains certain customary events of default, including but not limited to the failure to make payments due under the New Term Loan, breach of and failure to cure the breach of certain covenants, the entry of a final unpaid judgment against any of the Term Guarantors in excess of $30 million, the commencement of certain insolvency proceedings, liquidations or dissolutions, a cross-default to certain other indebtedness with an outstanding aggregate principal balance of at least $30 million (other than the New ABL Facility), and cross-acceleration to the New ABL Facility.

- Covenants: The New Term Loan contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants restricting the incurrences of debt, liens, the making of investments and repurchases, transactions with affiliates, fundamental changes and asset sales, and prepayments of junior debt. In addition, refer to the “Liquidity” footnote for financial covenants for each of the remaining test periods.

$450 Million ABL Facility

On February 13, 2014, we entered into the New ABL Facility which is an asset-based $450 million loan facility from a syndicate of banks arranged by RBS Citizens, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith and CIT Finance LLC. The New ABL Facility terminates on February 13, 2019. The Company, YRC Inc., Reddaway, Holland and New Penn are borrowers under the New ABL Facility, and certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are guarantors thereunder. Certain material provisions of the New ABL Facility are summarized below and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the definitive documentation:

- Availability: The aggregate amount available under the New ABL Facility cannot be more than (a) the collateral line cap minus (b) the facility exposure. The facility exposure refers to the aggregate amount of loans and letter of credit outstanding (with an exclusion for certain fees and other amounts owing for letters of credit). The collateral line cap refers to a limit equal to the greater of (a) the commitments by lenders under the facility and (b) the borrowing base. The borrowing base equals the sum of (a) 85% of the sum of (i) Eligible Accounts (as defined in the New ABL Facility) minus without duplication (ii) the Dilution Reserve (as defined in the New ABL Facility relating to reserves for eligible accounts experiencing bad debt write-downs, discounts, allowances and similar dilutive items), plus (b) 100% of Eligible Borrowing Base Cash (as defined in the New ABL Facility and described further below), minus (c) the Deferred Revenue Reserve (as defined in the New ABL Facility which constitutes 85% of the “deferred revenue liability” as reflected on the balance sheet of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal month), minus (d) the Availability Reserve (as defined in the New ABL Facility) imposed by the agent in its permitted discretion (made in good-faith and using reasonable business judgment) to reduce the amount of the borrowing base in light of pre-determined criteria set forth in the New ABL Facility.

- Eligible Borrowing Base Cash: The eligible borrowing base cash is cash that is deposited from time to time into a segregated restricted account maintained at the agent over which the agent has dominion. Such cash can only be withdrawn by us from the account if (i) no event of default exists or would arise as a result of the borrowing base cash release and (ii) availability as of the proposed date of such borrowing base cash release is not less than 15% of the collateral line cap. Eligible borrowing base cash is included in ‘Restricted amounts held in escrow’ in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

- Interest: Revolving loans made under the New ABL Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, of either the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.5% or the base rate (the greater of the prime rate established by the agent, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and one month LIBOR plus 1.00%). Thereafter, the interest rates will be subject to the following price grid based on the average quarterly excess availability under the revolver:

	Average Quarterly	Base Rate	LIBOR
Level	Excess Capacity	Plus	Plus
I	> $140,000,000	1.00%	2.00%
II	>  $70,000,000	1.25%	2.25%
	< $140,000,000
III	< $70,000,000	1.50%	2.50%

11

The rates set forth above are subject to a 0.25% reduction during any fiscal quarter for which the Company has a total leverage ratio of less than 2.50 to 1.00. We have not drawn on the facility at any time during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

- Letter of Credit Fees: The New ABL Facility has certain specific fees relating to letters of credit which include: (i) fees payable quarterly in arrears equal to the applicable margin in effect for revolving loans (which is listed in the “Interest” description immediately above) multiplied by the average daily stated amount of letters of credit (2.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014), (ii) fronting fees for letters of credit payable quarterly in arrears equal to 0.125% of the stated amount of the letters of credit and (iii) fees to issuing banks to compensate for customary charges related to the issuance and administration of letters of credit.

- Other Fees: Other fees in respect of the New ABL Facility include an unused line fee payable quarterly in arrears calculated by multiplying the amount by which the commitments exceed the loans and letters of credit for any calendar quarter by the unused line fee percentage (such unused line fee percentage initially to 0.25% per annum through March 31, 2014, and thereafter 0.375% per annum if the average revolver usage is less than 50% or 0.25% per annum if the average revolver usage is greater than 50%).

- Collateral: The obligations under the New ABL Facility are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) all accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts and other assets related to accounts receivable of the Company and the other loan parties and an additional second priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) substantially all remaining assets of the borrowers and the guarantors other than CDA Collateral.

- Incremental: The New ABL Facility provides for a $100 million uncommitted accordion to increase the revolving commitment in the future to support borrowing base growth.

- Events of Default: The New ABL Facility contains certain customary events of default, including but not limited to the failure to make payments due under the New ABL Facility, breach of and failure to cure the breach of certain covenants, the entry of a final unpaid judgment against any of the New ABL Facility loan parties in excess of $30 million, the commencement of any insolvency proceeding, liquidation or dissolution, and a cross-default to certain other indebtedness with an outstanding aggregate principal balance of at least $30 million (including the New Term Loan).

- Covenants: The New ABL Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants (including certain customary provisions regarding borrowing base reporting, and including, among others, covenants restricting the incurrences of debt, liens, the making of investments and repurchases, transactions with affiliates, fundamental changes and asset sales, and prepayments of junior debt). Certain of the covenants relating to investments, restricted payments and capital expenditures are relaxed upon meeting specified payment conditions or debt repayment conditions, as applicable. Payment conditions include (i) the absence of an event of default arising from such transaction, (ii) liquidity of at least $100 million or availability of at least $67.5 million and (iii) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined below) for the most recent term period on a pro forma basis is equal to or greater than 1.10 to 1.00. Debt repayment conditions include (i) the absence of an event of default from repaying such debt and (ii) availability on the date of repayment is not less than $67.5 million. During any period commencing when the New ABL Facility borrowers fail to maintain availability in an amount at least equal to 10% of the collateral line cap and until the borrowers have maintained availability of at least 10% of the collateral line cap for 30 consecutive calendar days, the New ABL Facility loan parties are required to maintain a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined below) of at least 1.10 to 1.00. The “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” is defined as (a) (i) Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the New ABL Facility) calculated on a pro forma basis for such period, minus (ii) Capital Expenditures (as defined in the New ABL Facility) made during such period, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of net cash taxes paid in cash during such period, minus (iv) the amount, if any, by which the cash pension contribution for such period exceeds the pension expense for such period, and plus (v) the amount, if any, by which the pension expense for such period exceeds the cash pension contribution for such period, divided by (b) the Consolidated Fixed Charges (as defined in the New ABL Facility) for such period. In addition, refer to the “Liquidity” footnote for covenants for each of the remaining test periods.

^(a)  As of September 30, 2014, the borrowing base and availability on our New ABL Facility were $448.4 million and $75.5 million, respectively. The availability is calculated in accordance with the terms of the New ABL Facility and is derived by reducing the borrowing base by our $372.9 million of outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2014. The amount which is actually able to be drawn is limited by certain financial covenants in the New ABL Facility to $31.5 million.

Conversions

Our Series B Notes are convertible into our common stock, at any time at the conversion price per share of approximately $18.5334 and a conversion rate of 53.9567 common shares per $1,000 of the Series B Notes (such conversion price and conversion rate applying also to the Series B Notes make whole premium). As of September 30, 2014, the effective conversion price and conversion rate for our Series B Notes (after taking into account the make whole premium) was $17.5599 and 56.9476 common shares per $1,000 of Series B Notes, respectively.

13

As of September 30, 2014, there was $17.3 million in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes outstanding that are convertible into approximately 982,000 shares of our common stock (after taking into account the make whole premium). As discussed in the “2014 Financing Transactions” footnote, on January 31, 2014, certain holders of our Series B Notes exchanged their outstanding notes as part of an exchange agreement. Outside of these exchange agreements, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $1.2 million and $29.1 million of aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes were converted into 75,900 and 1.9 million shares of our common stock, which includes the make whole premium.  Upon conversion, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded $0.4 million of additional interest expense representing the $0.2 million make whole premium and $0.2 million of accelerated amortization of the discount on converted Series B Notes. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded $6.2 million of additional interest expense representing the $2.7 million make whole premium and $3.5 million of accelerated amortization of the discount on converted Series B Notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded $15.2 million of additional interest expense representing the $6.6 million make whole premium and $8.6 million of accelerated amortization of the discount on converted Series B Notes. There were no Series B Note conversions during the three months ended September 30, 2014 or from September 30, 2014 through October 24, 2014.

Fair Value Measurement

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our long-term debt, including current maturities and other financial instruments, are summarized as follows:

	September 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
(in millions)	Carrying amount		Fair Value		Carrying amount		Fair Value
New Term Loan	$	688.7	$	701.7	$	—	$	—

Total debt	$	1,109.5	$	1,135.5	$	1,363.4	$	1,318.4

The fair values of the New Term Loan, New ABL Facility, Restructured Term Loan, the ABL Facility in place immediately before it was replaced with the New ABL Facility (“Prior ABL Facility”), Series A Notes, Series B Notes, 6% Notes (included in “Other” above) Secured and Unsecured A&R CDA (included in “Other” above) and A&R CDA (included in “Other” above) were estimated based on observable prices (level two inputs for fair value measurements). The fair value of the lease financing obligations is estimated using a publicly traded secured loan with similar characteristics (level three input for fair value measurement).

5. Liquidity

For a description of our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2014, please refer to the “Debt and Financing” footnote in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Facility Covenants

On February 13, 2014, we completed the 2014 Financing Transactions and refinanced the debt associated with our prior credit facilities. We entered into a New Term Loan credit agreement with new financial covenants that, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio (defined as Consolidated Total Debt divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as defined below).

On September 25, 2014, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment which, among other things, adjusted the maximum permitted total leverage ratio through December 31, 2016 and increased the applicable interest rate over the same period.

The Credit Agreement Amendment resets the total maximum leverage ratio covenants as follows:

14

Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio	Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio
September 30, 2014	5.25 to 1.00	June 30, 2016	3.75 to 1.00
December 31, 2014	5.25 to 1.00	September 30, 2016	3.75 to 1.00
March 31, 2015	5.00 to 1.00	December 31, 2016	3.50 to 1.00
June 30, 2015	4.75 to 1.00	March 31, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
September 30, 2015	4.50 to 1.00	June 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
December 31, 2015	4.25 to 1.00	September 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
March 31, 2016	4.00 to 1.00	December 31, 2017 and thereafter	3.00 to 1.00

Upon effectiveness of the Credit Agreement Amendment, each consenting lender received a fee equal to 0.25% of their outstanding exposure, resulting in $1.7 million of fees paid in the third quarter of 2014. These fees have been included in ‘Other Assets’ on the consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized over the remaining life of the New Term Loan.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, defined in our Credit Agreement Amendment as “Consolidated EBITDA,” is a measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and is further adjusted for, among other things, letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our International Brotherhood of Teamsters (“IBT”) employees and the results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations. Consolidated Total Debt, as defined in our Credit Agreement Amendment, is the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding. Our total leverage ratio for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2014 was 4.94 to 1.00.

We believe that our results of operations will be sufficient to allow us to comply with the covenants in the Credit Agreement Amendment, fund our operations, increase working capital as necessary to support our planned revenue growth and fund capital expenditures for the next twelve months. In order for us to maintain compliance with the maximum total leverage ratio over the term of the New Term Loan, we must achieve operating results which reflect continuing improvement over our recent results.

Our ability to satisfy our liquidity needs and meet future stepped-up covenants is primarily dependent on improving our profitability. Improvements to our profitability primarily include continued successful implementation and realization of productivity and efficiency initiatives including those identified in the modified labor agreement as well as pricing improvements. Some of these are outside of our control.

In the event our operating results indicate we will not meet our maximum total leverage ratio, we will take action to improve our maximum total leverage ratio which may include paying down our outstanding indebtedness with either cash on hand or from cash proceeds from equity issuances. The issuance of equity is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be able to issue additional equity at terms that are agreeable to us or that we would have sufficient cash on hand to meet the maximum total leverage ratio.

In the event that we fail to comply with any New Term Loan covenant or any New ABL Facility covenant, we would be considered in default, which would enable applicable lenders to accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding, require the cash collateralization of letters of credit (in the case of the New ABL Facility) and exercise remedies with respect to collateral and we would need to seek an amendment or waiver from the applicable lender groups. In the event that our lenders under our New Term Loan or New ABL Facility demand payment or cash collateralization (in the case of the New ABL Facility), we will not have sufficient cash to repay such indebtedness. In addition, a default under our New Term Loan or New ABL Facility or the applicable lenders exercising their remedies thereunder would trigger cross-default provisions in our other indebtedness and certain other operating agreements. Our ability to amend our New Term Loan or our New ABL Facility or otherwise obtain waivers from the applicable lenders depends on matters that are outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in that regard.

15

Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our New ABL Facility and any prospective net operating cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $181.4 million, and cash and cash equivalents and amounts able to be drawn on our New ABL Facility totaling $212.9 million. The amount which is actually able to be drawn on our New ABL Facility is limited by certain financial covenants in the New ABL Facility. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we used net cash of $26.3 million for our operating activities.

Our principal uses of cash are to fund our operations, including making contributions to our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds, and to meet our other cash obligations including, but not limited to, paying cash interest and principal on our funded debt, payments on our equipment leases, letter of credit fees under our credit facilities and funding capital expenditures.

Our New ABL Facility credit agreement, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires that the Company, in effect, maintain availability of at least 10% of the lesser of the aggregate amount of commitments from all lenders or the borrowing base.

We have a considerable amount of indebtedness. As of September 30, 2014, we had $1,116.8 million in aggregate par value of outstanding indebtedness, the majority of which matures in 2019. We also have considerable future funding obligations for our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds. We expect our funding obligations for the remainder of 2014 for our single-employer pension plans and multi-employer pension funds will be $6.8 million and $23.2 million, respectively. In addition, we have, and will continue to have, substantial operating lease obligations. As of September 30, 2014, our minimum rental expense under operating leases for the remainder of the year is $14.0 million. As of September 30, 2014, our operating lease obligations through 2025 totaled $153.7 million and is expected to increase as we lease additional revenue equipment.

Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $47.6 million and $56.5 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund replacement engines and trailer refurbishments for our revenue fleet and capitalized costs for our network facilities and technology infrastructure. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we entered into new operating leases for revenue equipment for $11.8 million, payable over the average lease term of three years. In light of our operating results and liquidity needs, we have deferred certain capital expenditures and expect to continue to do so for the remainder of 2014. As a result, the average age of our fleet is increasing, which may affect our maintenance costs and operational efficiency unless we are able to obtain suitable lease financing to meet our replacement equipment needs.

6. Employees’ Benefits

The following table presents the components of our company-sponsored pension costs for the three and nine months ended September 30:

	Three Months						Nine Months
(in millions)	2014			2013			2014			2013
Service cost	$	1.1		$	1.1		$	3.2		$	3.2
Interest cost	15.2			14.0			45.6			42.1
Expected return on plan assets	(13.4		)	(13.9		)	(40.2		)	(41.7		)
Amortization of net pension loss	3.2			3.7			9.6			11.1
Total periodic pension cost	$	6.1		$	4.9		$	18.2		$	14.7

We expect to contribute $62.6 million to our company-sponsored pension plans in 2014 of which we have contributed $55.8 million through September 30, 2014.

7. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 137.5% and 18.2%, compared to (19.7)% and 7.9%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The significant items impacting the 2014 rate include the settlement of several audits with the Internal Revenue Service as described below, a net state and foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, an intraperiod tax allocation required by ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” and a change in the valuation allowance established

16

for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2014. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets were subject to a valuation allowance.

Concurrent with the financing transactions of January 31, 2014 described in the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote, the Company experienced a change of ownership as described in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  The impact of the 2014 ownership change on the Company’s ability to utilize its Net Operating Loss carryforwards and other tax attributes is not expected to be material, as the carryforwards to which this ownership change would apply already have been significantly limited by previous ownership changes occurring in 2011 and 2013.

During the third quarter, 2014, we settled certain tax litigation with the Internal Revenue Service regarding tax years 2005 through 2007, resulting in refunds of $4.7 million and the recognition of $2.3 million of federal tax benefit. Further, the resolution of certain issues resulted in the recognition of $5.6 million of previously unrecognized tax benefits and the reversal of $1.5 million of related interest previously accrued. The resolution of the federal audits resulted in an estimated $1.7 million of additional state tax liability.

8. Shareholders’ Deficit

The following reflects the activity in the shares of our common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2014:

(shares in thousands)	2014
Beginning balance	10,173
Conversion of preferred stock to common stock	2,333
Issuance of common stock	14,333
Issuance of equity awards	342
Issuance of common stock upon conversion or exchange of Series B Notes	3,470
Ending balance	30,651

9. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We calculate basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing our net earnings (loss) by our weighted-average shares outstanding at the end of the period. The calculation for diluted earnings per share adjusts the weighted average shares outstanding for our dilutive stock options and restricted stock using the treasury stock method and adjusts both net earnings and the weighted average shares outstanding for our dilutive convertible securities using the if-converted method. The if-converted method assumes that all of our dilutive convertible securities would have been converted at the beginning of the period. Our calculation for basic and dilutive earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30 is as follows:

17

	Three Months						Nine Months
(dollars in millions, except per share data, shares in thousands)	2014			2013			2014			2013
Basic net income (loss) available to common shareholders	$	1.2		$	(44.4	)	$	(92.0	)	$	(84.0	)
Effect of dilutive securities:
Series B Notes1	(2.0		)	—			—			—
Dilutive net loss available to common shareholders	$	(0.8	)	$	(44.4	)	$	(92.0	)	$	(84.0	)
Basic weighted average shares outstanding	30,639			9,977			27,896			9,053
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options and restricted stock	282			—			—			—
Series B Notes	982			—			—			—
Dilutive weighted average shares outstanding	31,903			9,977			27,896			9,053
Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	0.04		$	(4.45	)	$	(3.30	)	$	(9.29	)
Diluted loss per share	$	(0.03	)	$	(4.45	)	$	(3.30	)	$	(9.29	)

¹The Series B Notes are recorded at a discount that accelerates upon conversion and contain a make-whole interest premium that would require us to pay interest as if the security was held to maturity upon conversion and, as such, would result in incremental expense under the if-converted method.

Given our net loss position for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no dilutive securities for these periods.

Anti-dilutive options and share units were 358,000 and 834,000 at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Anti-dilutive Series A Note conversion shares was 5,099,000 at September 30, 2013. Anti-dilutive Series B Note conversion shares, including the make whole premiums, was 4,219,000 September 30, 2013.

10. Business Segments

We report financial and descriptive information about our reporting segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We evaluate segment performance primarily on external revenue and operating income (loss).

We have the following reportable segments, which are strategic business units that offer complementary transportation services to our customers:

• YRC Freight is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in national, regional and international services. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Inc. (our YRC Freight operations in the United States) and Reimer Express, a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.

• Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. The Regional Transportation companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

We charge management fees and other corporate service fees to our reportable segments based on the direct benefits received or an overhead allocation basis. Corporate and other operating losses represent residual operating expenses of the holding company. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, an investment in an equity method affiliate and deferred debt issuance costs. Intersegment revenue primarily relates to transportation services between our segments.

11. Commitments, Contingencies and Uncertainties

Bryant Holdings Securities Litigation

On February 7, 2011, a putative class action was filed by Bryant Holdings LLC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas on behalf of purchasers of our common stock between April 24, 2008 and November 2, 2009, inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking damages under the federal securities laws for statements and/or omissions allegedly made by us and the individual defendants during the Class Period which plaintiffs claimed to be false and misleading.

The individual defendants are former officers of our Company. No current officers or directors were named in the lawsuit. The parties participated in voluntary mediation between March 11, 2013 and April 15, 2013. The mediation resulted in the execution of a mutually acceptable settlement agreement by the parties, which agreement remains subject to approval by the court. Court approval cannot be assured. Substantially all of the payments contemplated by the settlement will be covered by our liability insurance. The self-insured retention on this matter has been accrued as of September 30, 2014.

On August 19, 2013, the Court entered an Order denying plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Approval of the Settlement.  Plaintiffs filed an Amended Motion for Preliminary Approval and, on November 18, 2013, the Court denied that Motion.  Each denial was based primarily on deficiencies that the Court perceived in the plan that plaintiffs proposed for allocation of the settlement proceeds among class members.  Plaintiffs have revised the plan of allocation and, on February 18, 2014, filed a Second Amended Motion for Preliminary Approval.

Other Legal Matters

We are involved in other litigation or proceedings that arise in ordinary business activities. When possible, we insure against these risks to the extent we deem prudent, but no assurance can be given that the nature or amount of such insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings. Many of these insurance policies contain self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent. Based on our current assessment of information available as of the date of these financial statements, we believe that our financial statements include adequate provisions for estimated costs and losses that may be incurred within the litigation and proceedings to which we are a party.

The “third quarter” and “first three quarters” of the years discussed below refer to the three and nine months ended September 30, respectively.

Our Business

We are a holding company that, through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and our interest in a Chinese joint venture, offers our customers a wide range of transportation services. We have one of the largest, most comprehensive less-than-truckload (“LTL”) networks in North America with local, regional, national and international capabilities. Through our team of experienced service professionals, we offer industry-leading expertise in LTL shipments and flexible supply chain solutions, ensuring customers can ship industrial, commercial and retail goods with confidence.

We measure the performance of our business on both a consolidated basis and a reporting segment basis. We use several performance metrics, but rely primarily upon (without limitation) operating revenue, operating income (loss), and operating ratio. We also use certain non-GAAP financial measures as secondary measures to assess our operating performance.

• Operating Revenue: Our operating revenue has two primary components: volume (commonly evaluated using number of shipments and weight per shipment) and yield or price (commonly evaluated on a dollar per hundred weight basis and a dollar per shipment basis). Yield includes fuel surcharge revenue, which is common in the trucking industry and represents an amount charged to customers that adjusts with changing fuel prices. We base our fuel surcharges on a published national index and adjust them weekly. Rapid material changes in the index or our cost of fuel can positively or negatively impact our revenue and operating income versus prior periods, as there is a lag in our adjustment of base rates in response to changes in fuel surcharge. We believe that fuel surcharge is an accepted and important component of the overall pricing of our services to our customers. Without an industry accepted fuel surcharge program, our base pricing for our transportation services would require numerous changes. We believe the distinction between base rates and fuel surcharge has blurred over time, and it is impractical to clearly separate all the different factors that influence the price that our customers are willing to pay. In general, under our present fuel surcharge program, we believe rising fuel costs are beneficial to us and falling fuel costs are detrimental to us in the short term.

• Operating Income (Loss): Operating income (loss) is our operating revenue less operating expenses. Our consolidated operating income (loss) includes certain corporate charges that are not allocated to our YRC Freight and Regional Transportation reporting segments.

• Operating Ratio: Operating ratio is a common operating performance metric used in the trucking industry. It is calculated as (i) 100 percent (ii) minus the result of dividing operating income by operating revenue or (iii) plus the result of dividing operating loss by operating revenue, and expressed as a percentage.

• Non-GAAP Financial Measures: We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess our performance. These include (without limitation) adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow (deficit):

◦ Adjusted EBITDA: a non-GAAP measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and further adjusted for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees, expenses

21

associated with certain lump sum payments to our IBT employees and the results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations as defined in our credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects our core operating performance and to measure compliance with financial covenants in our credit facilities.

◦ Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Deficit): a non-GAAP measure that reflects our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus gross capital expenditures and excludes restructuring professional fees included in operating cash flow.

Our non-GAAP financial measures have the following limitations:

◦ Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to fund restructuring professional fees, letter of credit fees, service interest, principal payments on our outstanding debt or lump sum payments to our IBT employees required under the modified labor agreement;

◦ Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

◦ Equity-based compensation is an element of our long-term incentive compensation package, although adjusted EBITDA excludes employee equity-based compensation expense when presenting our ongoing operating performance for a particular period;

◦ Adjusted free cash flow (deficit) excludes the cash usage by our restructuring professional fees, debt issuance costs, equity issuance costs and principal payments on our outstanding debt and the resulting reduction in our liquidity position from those cash outflows; and

◦ Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow (deficit) differently than we do, potentially limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and use our non-GAAP measures as secondary measures.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Our consolidated results include the consolidated results of our YRC Freight and Regional Transportation reporting segments as well as any unallocated corporate charges. A more detailed discussion of the operating results of our segments is presented in the “Reporting Segment Results of Operations” section below.

The table below provides summary consolidated financial information for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2014 and 2013:

	Third Quarter							First Three Quarters
(in millions)	2014		2013			Percent Change		2014			2013			Percent Change
Operating revenue	$	1,322.6	$	1,252.7		5.6	%	$	3,851.1		$	3,657.7		5.3	%
Operating income	$	26.7	$	5.8		360.3	%	$	14.3		$	30.0		(52.3	)%
Nonoperating expenses, net	$	29.9	$	42.9		(30.3	)%	$	104.6		$	121.2		(13.7	)%
Net income (loss)	$	1.2	$	(44.4	)	102.7	%	$	(73.9	)	$	(84.0	)	12.0	%

Third Quarter of 2014 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2013

Our consolidated operating revenue increased5.6% during the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to higher total shipments and a higher yield over the comparable prior year period. The increase in total shipments was driven by the improvement of the overall economic environment as well as increased shipper confidence due to the finalization of the 2014 Financing Transactions and our modified labor agreement. The increase in yield was largely driven by a stronger pricing environment.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2014increased$49.0 million, or 3.9%, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in operating expenses was driven by increased costs associated with higher total shipments and improvements to our

22

service. In particular, our salaries, wages and employees’ benefits increased $34.1 million, or 4.8%, and we experienced an $18.4 million, or 13.2%, increase in purchased transportation.

• The $34.1 millionincrease in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits in the third quarter of 2014 was primarily the result of a $22.8 million increase in wages and benefits in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013. This increase was largely driven by higher total shipments and lower productivity levels. The increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits was also caused by a $4.6 million increase in workers’ compensation expense, which was driven, in large part, by an increase in the number of claims.

• The $18.4 millionincrease in purchased transportation was primarily driven by the over-the-road purchased transportation option as permitted in our modified labor agreement that went into effect in February 2014. Additionally, we had higher vehicle rent expense as our percentage of leased units has increased since last year due to our current strategy of using operating leases for new revenue equipment.

Nonoperating expenses decreased $13.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in nonoperating expenses was largely driven by the decrease in interest expense as a result of the 2014 Financing Transactions which reduced our outstanding debt and lowered the weighted average interest rate on our debt.

Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013 was 137.5% and (19.7)%, respectively. Significant items impacting the third quarter of 2014 rate include the settlement of several audits with the Internal Revenue Service as described below, a net state and foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, an intraperiod tax allocation required by ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2014. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets are subject to a valuation allowance.

During the third quarter, 2014, we settled certain tax litigation with the Internal Revenue Service regarding tax years 2005 through 2007, resulting in refunds of $4.7 million and the recognition of $2.3 million of federal tax benefit. Further, the resolution of certain issues resulted in the recognition of $5.6 million of previously unrecognized tax benefits and the reversal of $1.5 million of related interest previously accrued. The resolution of the federal audits resulted in an estimated $1.7 million of additional state tax liability.

First Three Quarters of 2014 Compared to the First Three Quarters of 2013

Our consolidated operating revenue increased5.3% during the first three quarters of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to higher total shipments over the comparable prior year.

Operating expenses for the first three quarters of 2014increased$209.1 million, or 5.8% compared to the same period in 2013, primarily related to a $102.0 million, or 4.8%, increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits, a $69.5 million, or 18.3%, increase in purchased transportation, a $26.6 million, or 15.5%, increase in other operating expenses and a $22.7 million, or 2.7%, increase in operating expenses and supplies.

• The $102.0 millionincrease in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits was primarily due to an $80.1 million increase in wages and benefits in the first three quarters of 2014 compared to the first three quarters of 2013. This increase was largely driven by higher total shipments and by the negative impact the severe winter weather had on the productivity of our workforce which, among other things, increased our overtime and linehaul delay pay in the first quarter of 2014. The increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits was also driven by a $9.0 million increase in workers’ compensation expense, which was driven, in large part, by an increase in the number of claims.

• The $69.5 millionincrease in purchased transportation was primarily driven by increased total shipments and the use of additional high cost purchased rail and local cartage transportation to balance our networks and in response to the service disruptions related to the severe winter weather experienced during the first quarter.  We also experienced an increase in purchased road miles in part due to the changes in our purchased transportation options as permitted in our modified labor agreement that went into effect in February 2014. Finally, we had higher vehicle rental expense as our percentage of leased units has increased since last year due to our current strategy of using operating leases for new revenue equipment.

• The $26.6 millionincrease in other operating expenses was primarily due to a $13.1 million increase in cargo claims expense, which was primarily driven by an increase in the frequency and severity of our claims. The increase was also

23

caused by a $12.3 million increase in our bodily injury and property damage claims expense, which was driven by an increase in the number of outstanding claims and unfavorable development of prior year claims.

• The $22.7 millionincrease in operating expenses and supplies was primarily driven by higher vehicle maintenance of $11.5 million and an increase in fuel expense of $7.8 million. The increase in vehicle maintenance is primarily due to higher costs needed to support our aging fleet and an increase in miles driven. The increase in fuel expense is primarily a result of increased mileage due to higher total shipments.

Nonoperating expenses decreased $16.6 million in the first three quarters of 2014 compared to the first three quarters of 2013. The decrease was primarily driven by the $11.2 million gain we recorded on our extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2014, $16.3 million of which related to the acceleration of net premiums on our old debt, partially offset by $5.1 million of additional expense related to the fair value of the incremental shares provided to those Series B Note holders who exchanged their outstanding balances at a conversion price of $15.00 per share. We also experienced a decrease in interest expense as a result of the 2014 Financing Transactions which reduced our outstanding debt and lowered the weighted average interest rate on our debt.

Our effective tax rate for the first three quarters of 2014 and 2013 was 18.2% and 7.9%, respectively. Significant items impacting the first three quarters of 2014 rate include the settlement of several audits with the Internal Revenue Service as described below, a net state and foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, an intraperiod tax allocation required by ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2014. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets are subject to a valuation allowance.

Concurrent with the financing transactions of January 31, 2014 described in the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote, the Company experienced a change of ownership as described in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The impact of the 2014 ownership change on the Company’s ability to utilize its Net Operating Loss carryforwards and other tax attributes is not expected to be material, as the carryforwards to which this ownership change would apply already have been significantly limited by previous ownership changes occurring in 2011 and 2013.

During the third quarter, 2014, we settled certain tax litigation with the Internal Revenue Service regarding tax years 2005 through 2007, resulting in refunds of $4.7 million and the recognition of $2.3 million of federal tax benefit. Further, the resolution of certain issues resulted in the recognition of $5.6 million of previously unrecognized tax benefits and the reversal of $1.5 million of related interest previously accrued. The resolution of the federal audits resulted in an estimated $1.7 million of additional state tax liability.

Reporting Segment Results of Operations

We evaluate our operating performance using our YRC Freight and Regional Transportation reporting segments:

• YRC Freight is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in national, regional and international services. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Inc. and Reimer Express, a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.

• Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. The Regional Transportation companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

YRC Freight Results

YRC Freight represented 64% of our consolidated operating revenue for the third quarter of 2014 compared to 65% for the third quarter of 2013. YRC Freight represented 63% of consolidated operating revenue for the first three quarters of 2014 compared to 65% for the first three quarters of 2013. The table below provides summary financial information for YRC Freight for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2014 and 2013:

Third Quarter of 2014 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2013

YRC Freight reported operating revenue of $843.0 million in the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $34.3 million, or 4.2%, compared to the same period in 2013. The table below summarizes the key revenue metrics for the YRC Freight reporting segment for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013:

(b) Percent change based on unrounded figures and not rounded figures presented.

The increases in yield are primarily attributable to a stronger overall pricing environment and successful contractual negotiations with our customers. The increases in the volume metrics are primarily attributable to higher total shipments over the comparable prior year period due to the improvement of the overall economic environment as well as increased shipper confidence due to the finalization of the 2014 Financing Transactions and our modified labor agreement.

Operating income for YRC Freight was $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to an operating loss of $9.7 million in the same period in 2013. Operating revenue in the third quarter of 2014 was higher by $34.3 million while total operating expenses increased by $15.8 million, or 1.9%. The operating expense increase consisted primarily of a $16.6 million, or 3.6%, increase in

25

salaries,wages and employees’ benefits, an $8.7 million, or 7.5%, increase in purchased transportation, partially offset by a $5.0 million, or 2.8%, decrease in operating expenses and supplies.

• The $16.6 million increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits in the third quarter of 2014 was primarily the result of an increase in wages and benefits driven by lower productivity levels and a slight increase in shipments.

• The $8.7 million increase in purchased transportation was primarily driven by an increase in purchased road miles as we utilized our new over-the-road purchased transportation option as permitted in our modified labor agreement that went into effect in February 2014.

• The $5.0 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies in the third quarter of 2014 was primarily due to a $5.2 million decrease in fuel expense primarily driven by a decrease in the cost per gallon of fuel. The fuel expense decrease was also a result of fewer miles driven, primarily due to an increase in our purchased transportation as described above.

First Three Quarters of 2014 Compared to the First Three Quarters of 2013

YRC Freight reported operating revenue of $2,441.9 million in the first three quarters of 2014, an increase of $81.8 million, or 3.5%, compared to the same period in 2013. The table below summarizes the key revenue metrics for the YRC Freight reporting segment for the first three quarters of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013:

The increases in the volume metrics are primarily driven by higher total shipments over the comparable prior year period due to the improvement of the overall economic environment as well as increased shipper confidence due to the finalization of the 2014 Financing Transactions and our modified labor agreement. The increases in yield are primarily attributable to a stronger overall pricing environment and successful contractual negotiations with our customers.

Operating loss for YRC Freight was $24.0 million in the first three quarters of 2014 compared to $15.8 million in the same period in 2013. Operating revenue in the first three quarters of 2014 was higher by $81.8 million while total operating expenses increased by $90.0 million, or 3.8%. The operating expense increase consisted primarily of a $44.6 million, or 3.3%, increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits, a $43.9 million, or 13.8%, increase in purchased transportation and a $16.5 million, or 16.1%, increase in other operating expenses.

• The $44.6 million increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits in the first three quarters of 2014 was primarily the result of a $34.4 million increase in wages and benefits. This increase was largely driven by higher total shipments

and the negative impact the severe winter weather had on the productivity of our workforce which, among other things, increased our overtime and linehaul delay pay in the first quarter of 2014. Additionally, the increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits was also caused by a $6.5 million increase in workers’ compensation expense, which was driven, in large part, by an increase in new claims.

• The $43.9 million increase in purchased transportation was primarily driven by less than optimal use of purchased transportation in response to increased total shipments and in response to the service disruptions related to the severe winter weather experienced during the first quarter.  We also experienced an increase in purchased road miles as we began to utilize our new over-the-road purchased transportation option as permitted in our modified labor agreement that went into effect in February 2014. Finally, we had higher vehicle rent expense as our percentage of leased units has increased since last year due to our current strategy of using operating leases for new revenue equipment.

• The $16.5 million increase in other operating expenses in the first three quarters of 2014 was primarily driven by an $8.4 million increase in our bodily injury and property damage expense due to unfavorable development on our outstanding claims. Additionally, the increase in other operating expense was largely due to a $9.0 million increase in cargo claims expense caused by an increase in the frequency and severity of our claims.

Third Quarter of 2014 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2013

Regional Transportation reported operating revenue of $479.6 million for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $35.6 million, or 8.0%, from the third quarter of 2013. The table below summarizes the key revenue metrics for the Regional Transportation reporting segment for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013:

The increases in the volume metrics are primarily attributable to higher total shipments over the comparable prior year period due to the improvement of the overall economic environment as well as increased shipper confidence due to the finalization of the 2014 Financing Transactions and our modified labor agreement. The increase in the number of workdays in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 also contributed to the higher volumes. The increases in yield are primarily attributable to a stronger pricing environment and a reduction in excess capacity.

Operating income for Regional Transportation was $24.4 million for the third quarter of 2014, a increase of $4.4 million from the same period in 2013, consisting of the $35.6 millionincrease in revenue offset by a $31.2 million, or 7.4%, increase in total operating expenses. The increase in total operating expenses was primarily driven by an $18.4 million, or 7.4%, increase in salaries, wages and employees' benefits, a $9.7 million, or 42.1%, increase in purchased transportation and a $3.4 million, or 3.1%, increase in operating expenses and supplies.

• The $18.4 million increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits in the third quarter of 2014 was primarily the result of a $13.2 million increase in wages and benefits in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013. This increase was largely driven by higher total shipments. The increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits was also due to a $3.4 million increase in workers’ compensation expense, which was caused, in large part, by an increase in new claims.

• The $9.7 million increase in purchased transportation was primarily driven by an increase in purchased local cartage and short-term revenue equipment rentals to handle the increased total shipments. We also had higher vehicle rent expense as our percentage of leased units has increased since last year due to our strategy of using operating leases for new revenue equipment.

• The $3.4 million increase in operating expenses and supplies in the third quarter of 2014 was primarily driven by a $2.2 million increase in vehicle maintenance primarily due to an increase in miles driven and higher costs used to support our aging fleet and a $1.1 million increase in fuel expense, which was largely the result of increased use due to higher total shipments, partially offset by a lower cost per gallon of fuel.

First Three Quarters of 2014 Compared to the First Three Quarters of 2013

Regional Transportation reported operating revenue of $1,409.2 million for the first three quarters of 2014, an increase of $111.6 million, or 8.6%, from the first three quarters of 2013. The table below summarizes the key revenue metrics for the Regional Transportation reporting segment for the first three quarters of 2014 compared to the first three quarters of 2013:

(a) Does not equal financial statement revenue due to revenue recognition adjustments between accounting periods.

(b)Percent change is based on unrounded figures and not the rounded figures presented.

The increases in the volume metrics are primarily attributable to higher total shipments over the comparable prior year period due to the improvement of the overall economic environment as well as increased shipper confidence due to the finalization of the 2014 Financing Transactions and our modified labor agreement and the additional 4.5 workdays in the first three quarters of 2014 compared to the first three quarters of 2013. The increases in yield are primarily attributable to a stronger pricing environment and a reduction in excess capacity.

Operating income for Regional Transportation was $55.5 million for the first three quarters of 2014, a decrease of $1.7 million from the same period in 2013, consisting of the $111.6 millionincrease in revenue, offset by a $113.3 million, or 9.1%, increase in total operating expenses. The increase in total operating expenses was primarily driven by a $54.8 million, or 7.4%, increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits, a $25.6 million, or 41.6%, increase in purchased transportation, a $20.6 million, or 6.4%, increase in operating expenses and supplies and a $10.2 million, or 15.3%, increase in other operating expenses.

• The $54.8 million increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits in the first three quarters of 2014 was primarily the result of a $46.2 million increase in wages and benefits in the first three quarters of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. This increase was largely driven by higher total shipments and by the negative impact the severe winter weather had on the productivity of our workforce in the first quarter which, among other things, increased our overtime and linehaul delay pay. The increase in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits was also caused by a $3.6 million increase in workers’ compensation expense, which was due, in large part, to an increase in new claims.

• The $25.6 million increase in purchased transportation was primarily driven by an increase in purchased local cartage and short-term revenue equipment rentals to handle the increased total shipments. We also had higher vehicle rent expense as our percentage of leased units has increased since last year due to our strategy of using operating leases to acquire new revenue equipment.

• The $20.6 million increase in operating expenses and supplies in the first three quarters of 2014 was primarily driven by a $10.9 million increase in fuel expense, which was largely the result of increased use due to higher total shipments and a $5.2 million increase in vehicle maintenance primarily due to an increase in miles driven and higher costs to support our aging fleet.

• The $10.2 million increase in other operating expenses in the first half of 2014 was primarily driven by a $4.1 million increase in our bodily injury and property damage expense due to unfavorable development on our outstanding claims and a $4.0 million increase in cargo claims, which was primarily caused by an increase in total shipments.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As discussed in the “Our Business” section, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess performance. These measures should be considered in addition to the results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, our GAAP financial measures.

Financial Condition/Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our New ABL Facility and any prospective net operating cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $181.4 million, and cash and cash equivalents and amounts able to be drawn on our New ABL Facility totaling $212.9 million. The amount which is actually able to be drawn on our New ABL Facility is limited by certain financial covenants in the New ABL Facility.

31

Our principal uses of cash are to fund our operations, including making contributions to our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds, and to meet our other cash obligations, including paying cash interest and principal on our funded debt, letter of credit fees under our credit facilities and funding capital expenditures. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we used net cash of $26.3 million for our operating activities.

Our New ABL Facility credit agreement, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires that the Company, in effect, maintain availability of at least 10% of the lesser of the aggregate amount of commitments from all lenders or the borrowing base.

We have a considerable amount of indebtedness. As of September 30, 2014, we had $1,116.8 million in aggregate par value of outstanding indebtedness, the majority of which matures in 2019. We also have considerable future funding obligations for our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds. We expect our funding obligations for the remainder of 2014 for our single-employer pension plans and multi-employer pension funds will be $6.8 million and $23.2 million, respectively. In addition, we have, and will continue to have, substantial operating lease obligations. As of September 30, 2014, our minimum rental expense under operating leases for the remainder of the year is $14.0 million. As of September 30, 2014, our operating lease obligations through 2025 totaled $153.7 million and is expected to increase as we lease additional revenue equipment. As of September 30, 2014, our Standard & Poor’s Corporate Family Rating was “CCC+” and Moody’s Investor Service Corporate Family Rating was “B3”.

Our capital expenditures for the first three quarters of 2014 and 2013 were $47.6 million and $56.5 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund replacement engines and trailer refurbishments for our revenue fleet, capitalized costs for our network facilities and technology infrastructure. Additionally, for the first three quarters of 2014, we entered into new operating leases for revenue equipment for $11.8 million, payable over the average lease term of three years. In light of our operating results and liquidity needs, we have deferred certain capital expenditures and expect to continue to do so for the remainder of 2014. As a result, the average age of our fleet is increasing, which may affect our maintenance costs and operational efficiency unless we are able to obtain suitable lease financing to meet our replacement equipment needs.

Credit Facility Covenants

On February 13, 2014, we completed the 2014 Financing Transactions and refinanced the debt associated with our prior credit facilities. We entered into a New Term Loan credit agreement with new financial covenants that, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio (defined as Consolidated Total Debt divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as defined below).

On September 25, 2014, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment to, among other things, adjust the maximum permitted total leverage ratio through December 31, 2016 and increase the applicable interest rate over the same period.

The Credit Agreement Amendment resets the total maximum leverage ratio covenants as follows:

Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio	Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio
June 30, 2014	6.00 to 1.00	June 30, 2016	3.75 to 1.00
September 30, 2014	5.25 to 1.00	September 30, 2016	3.75 to 1.00
December 31, 2014	5.25 to 1.00	December 31, 2016	3.50 to 1.00
March 31, 2015	5.00 to 1.00	March 31, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
June 30, 2015	4.75 to 1.00	June 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
September 30, 2015	4.50 to 1.00	September 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
December 31, 2015	4.25 to 1.00	December 31, 2017 and thereafter	3.00 to 1.00
March 31, 2016	4.00 to 1.00

Upon effectiveness of the Credit Agreement Amendment, each consenting lender received a fee equal to 0.25% of their outstanding exposure, resulting in $1.7 million of fees paid in the third quarter of 2014. These fees have been included in ‘Other Assets’ on the consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized over the remaining life of the New Term Loan.

32

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment as “Consolidated EBITDA,” is a measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and is further adjusted for, among other things, letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our IBT employees and the results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations. Consolidated Total Debt, as defined in our Credit Agreement Amendment, is the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding. Our total leverage ratio for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2014 was 4.94 to 1.00.

We believe that our results of operations will be sufficient to allow us to comply with the covenants in the Credit Agreement Amendment, fund our operations, increase working capital as necessary to support our planned revenue growth and fund capital expenditures for the next twelve months. In order for us to maintain compliance with the maximum total leverage ratio over the term of the New Term Loan, we must achieve operating results which reflect continuing improvement over our recent results.

Our ability to satisfy our liquidity needs and meet future stepped-up covenants is primarily dependent on improvements to our profitability. Improvements to our profitability primarily include continued successful implementation and realization of productivity and efficiency initiatives including those identified in the modified labor agreement as well as pricing improvements. Some of these are outside of our control.

In the event our operating results indicate we will not meet our maximum total leverage ratio, we may take action to improve our maximum total leverage ratio which will include paying down our outstanding indebtedness with either cash on hand or from cash proceeds from equity issuances. The issuance of equity is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be able to issue additional equity at terms that are agreeable to us or that we would have sufficient cash on hand to meet the maximum total leverage ratio.

In the event that we fail to comply with any New Term Loan covenant or any New ABL Facility covenant, we would be considered in default, which would enable applicable lenders to accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding, require the cash collateralization of letters of credit (in the case of the New ABL Facility) and exercise remedies with respect to collateral and we would need to seek an amendment or waiver from the applicable lender groups. In the event that our lenders under our New Term Loan or New ABL Facility demand payment or cash collateralization (in the case of the New ABL Facility), we will not have sufficient cash to repay such indebtedness. In addition, a default under our New Term Loan or New ABL Facility or the applicable lenders exercising their remedies thereunder would trigger cross-default provisions in our other indebtedness and certain other operating agreements. Our ability to amend our New Term Loan or our New ABL Facility or otherwise obtain waivers from the applicable lenders depends on matters that are outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in that regard.

Cash Flows

Operating Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities was $26.3 million in the first three quarters of 2014 compared to $3.0 million in the first three quarters of 2013. This increase in cash utilization is primarily attributable to a $32.0 million year-over-year increase in the change in accounts receivable due to increased revenue, offset by a $10.1 million year-over-year decrease in net loss.

Investing Cash Flow

Investing cash flows increased by $52.1 million during the first three quarters of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, largely driven by a net $57.1 million in proceeds from restricted escrow in 2014, compared to $19.9 million in proceeds in 2013. The 2014 restricted escrow deposits consist mostly of $38.6 million for the New ABL Facility, offset by the reduction of the $90.0 million receipt for the Prior ABL Facility and the reduction of deposits required for our New ABL Facility due to an increase in the borrowing base. In addition there was an $8.9 million decrease in the acquisition of property and equipment as we are using operating leases to procure our revenue equipment.

Financing Cash Flow

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first three quarters of 2014 was $8.2 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $6.3 million in the first three quarters of 2013. The cash provided during the first three quarters of 2014 was driven by the issuance of $693.0 million in long-term debt for the New Term Loan and $250.0 million equity issuance proceeds. These were offset by $888.7 million of repayments on our long-term debt. The repayments primarily consisted of $298.1 million for the

33

Prior Term Loan, $324.9 million for the Prior ABL Facility, $69.4 million for the 6% Notes and $183.5 million for the Series A Notes. We also had $29.0 million in debt issuance costs and $17.1 million in equity issuance costs related to our new debt and equity issued in 2014. During the first three quarters of 2013, the use of cash was driven by $6.6 million of repayments on other long-term debt.

Non-union Pension Obligations

In the third quarter of 2014, Congress passed the “Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014” (“HATFA”) that, among other things, changed the way future minimum required contributions are calculated for certain pension plans. As a result, our expected cash contributions for our non-union sponsored U.S. pension plans for 2014-2018 are expected to be approximately $90 million lower than the estimate provided in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, the contributions to our non-union sponsored U.S. pension plans are expected to be as follows:

(in millions)	Expected Cash Contributions
Remainder of 2014	$	6.3
2015	62.9
2016	60.7
2017	78.6
2018	57.9

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

The following sections provide aggregated information regarding our contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments as of September 30, 2014.

Contractual Cash Obligations

The following table reflects our cash outflows that we are contractually obligated to make as of September 30, 2014:

	Payments Due by Period
(in millions)	Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		After 5 years		Total

Total contractual obligations	$	296.4	$	404.9	$	931.3	$	274.2	$	1,906.8

(a) Total liabilities for uncertain income tax positions as of September 30, 2014 were $20.5 million and are classified on our consolidated balance sheet within “Claims and Other Liabilities” and are excluded from the table above.

(b) The $229.6 million of lease financing obligation payments represent interest payments of $167.6 million and principal payments of $62.0 million. The remaining principle obligation is offset by the estimated book value of leased property at the expiration date of each lease agreement.

(c) The workers’ compensation, property damage and liability claims obligations represent our undiscounted estimate of future payments for these obligations, not all of which are contractually required.

34

(d) Future service obligations consist primarily of hardware and software maintenance contracts.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we entered into new operating leases for revenue equipment of $11.8 million with a capital value of $13.2 million.

Other Commercial Commitments

The following table reflects other commercial commitments or potential cash outflows that may result from a contingent event, such as a need to borrow short-term funds due to insufficient free cash flow.

	Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Period
(in millions)	Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years			After 5 years		Total
Unused line of credit
New ABL Facility(a)	$	—	$	—	$	75.5	(b)	$	—	$	75.5

Surety bonds	117.7		—		—			—		117.7
Total commercial commitments	$	117.7	$	—	$	448.4		$	—	$	566.1

(a) At September 30, 2014 we held $33.6 million in restricted escrow, which represents cash collateral on our New ABL Facility.

(b) The unused line of credit that may actually be drawn is limited by certain financial covenants in the New ABL Facility. As of September 30, 2014, the amount that actually may be drawn on the New ABL Facility is $31.5 million.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are primarily exposed to the market risk associated with unfavorable movements in interest rates, foreign currencies, and fuel price volatility. The risk inherent in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss or increased expense arising from adverse changes in those factors. There have been no material changes to our market risk policies or our market risk sensitive instruments and positions as described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

As required by the Exchange Act, we maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014 and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2014.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

2014 Financing Transactions

Sep. 30, 2014

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

2014 Financing Transactions

On January 31, 2014, we issued 14,333,334 shares of our Common Stock and 583,334 shares of our Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to certain stock purchase agreements, dated as of December 22, 2013 (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”), for an aggregate $250.0 million in cash. We used the proceeds from these transactions to, among other things, (i) repay our 6% Convertible Senior Notes (“6% Notes”) at their maturity on February 15, 2014 and (ii) repurchase $90.9 million of our Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes (“Series A Notes”). In February 2014, the Company deposited $89.6 million with the trustee to fund the redemption (including accrued interest), and thereby discharged the indenture governing the Series A Notes. The Company used the cash deposited with the trustee to redeem its Series A Notes on August 5, 2014.

Also on January 31, 2014, certain holders of our 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes (“Series B Notes”) exchanged their outstanding balances at a conversion price of $15.00 per share, while another holder converted its Series B Notes in accordance with their existing terms. We also amended the indenture governing our Series B Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other related provisions contained in the indenture and to release and discharge the liens on the collateral securing the Series B Notes.

Effective January 31, 2014, certain of our subsidiaries, various pension funds party thereto, and Wilmington Trust Company, as agent for such pension funds, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement (“Second A&R CDA”), which, among other things (i) amended and restated the Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement (“A&R CDA”), (ii) released the agent’s security interest in third priority collateral on the Collateral Release Date, (iii) limited the value of obligations secured by the collateral to the Secured Obligations and (iv) extended the maturity of deferred pension payments and deferred interest from March 31, 2015 to December 31, 2019.

On February 13, 2014, we replaced our existing credit facilities with a new $450 million asset-based loan (the “New ABL Facility”) and a new $700 million term loan facility (“New Term Loan”). The New ABL Facility supports our outstanding letters of credit commitments.

We refer to transactions described above collectively as the “2014 Financing Transactions.” The table below summarizes the cash flow activity for the 2014 Financing Transactions:

Cash Sources (in millions)			Cash Uses (in millions)
New Term Loan	$	700.0	Extinguish Prior ABL Facility (includes accrued interest)	$	326.0
Proceeds from sale of common stock	215.0		Extinguish Prior Term Loan (includes accrued interest)	299.7
Proceeds from sale of convertible preferred stock	35.0		Retire 6% Notes	71.5
Cash proceeds from restricted amounts held in escrow - Prior ABL facility	90.0		Repurchase Series A Notes (includes accrued interest)	93.9
New ABL Facility	—		Redeem Series A Notes (on August 5, 2014 and includes accrued interest)	89.6
			Fees, Expenses and Original Issuance Discount	50.8
			Restricted Cash to Balance Sheet (a)	92.0
			Cash to Balance Sheet	16.5
Total sources	$	1,040.0	Total uses	$	1,040.0

(a) Under the terms of the New ABL facility, this amount was classified as “restricted cash” in the consolidated balance sheet at the closing date of the New ABL Facility.

The table below summarizes the non-cash activity for the 2014 Financing Transactions:

Non-Cash Sources (in millions)			Non-Cash Uses (in millions)
Secured Second A&R CDA	$	51.0	A&R CDA	$	124.2
Unsecured Second A&R CDA	73.2		Exchange/conversion of Series B Notes to common stock	50.6
Exchange/conversion of Series B Notes to common stock	50.6
Total sources	$	174.8	Total uses	$	174.8

We accounted for the A&R CDA maturity extension as a debt modification and the remaining transactions as extinguishment of debt and issuance of new debt. We recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $11.2 million associated with this transaction during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, $16.3 million of which related to the acceleration of net premiums on our old debt, partially offset by $5.1 million of additional expense related to the fair value of the incremental shares provided to those Series B Note holders who exchanged their outstanding balances at a conversion price of $15.00 per share. We recorded, in “interest expense” on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income (loss), $8.0 million of make-whole interest related to the Series B Notes exchanged during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We paid $43.8 million of fees associated with these transactions of which $26.7 million was recorded as unamortized deferred debt costs in “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheet and will be recognized as interest expense over the term of the New Term Loan and New ABL Facility and $17.1 million offset the equity proceeds of our stock purchase agreements.

On March 14, 2014, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which our stockholders approved amending our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and to allow an individual investor to own more than 19.99% of outstanding Common Stock. Upon approval of these amendments, each outstanding share of Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into four shares of Common Stock and the Company recorded $18.1 million related to the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature on preferred stock on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income (loss).

$700 Million First Lien Term Loan

On February 13, 2014, we borrowed in full $700 million, less a 1% discount, from a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions arranged by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) and RBS Citizens, N.A. No amounts under this New Term Loan, once repaid, may be reborrowed. On September 25, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to its Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), which amended the New Term Loan to, among other things, adjust the maximum permitted total leverage ratio through December 31, 2016 and increase the applicable interest rate (subject to the exceptions discussed below) over the same period. Certain material provisions of the New Term Loan, after giving affect to the Credit Agreement Amendment, are summarized below:

- Maturity and Amortization: The New Term Loan matures on February 13, 2019. The New Term Loan will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the New Term Loan.

- Incremental: Subject to finding current or new lenders willing to provide such commitments, the Company has the right to incur one or more increases to the New Term Loan and/or one or more new tranches of term loans (which may be unsecured or secured on a junior basis) to be made available under the New Term Loan credit agreement which shall not exceed (i) $250 million so long as the senior secured leverage ratio on a pro forma basis (defined as consolidated total debt that is secured by a lien as of such date over Consolidated EBITDA as of the twelve months ended the most recent fiscal quarter end for which financial statements are available) does not exceed 3.25 to 1.00, plus (ii) all voluntary prepayments of the New Term Loan.

- Interest and Fees: The New Term Loan bears interest, at the election of the borrower, at either the applicable London interbank offer rate (“LIBOR”) (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus a margin of 7.25% per annum, or a rate determined by reference to the alternate base rate (the greater of the prime rate established by the administrative agent, the federal fund rate plus 0.50% and one month, LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus a margin of 6.25%; provided that such margins will step down by 0.25% when the Company meets a total leverage ratio of equal or less than 3.25 to 1.00.

- Guarantors: The obligations of the borrower under the New Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by certain wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries of the Company (the “Term Guarantors”).

- Collateral: The New Term Loan is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantors under the New Term Loan (the “Term Guarantors”), except that accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts and other assets related to accounts receivable are subject to a second priority interest (subject to permitted liens) and certain owned real property securing the obligations under the Second A&R CDA filed January 31, 2014, do not secure the obligations under the New Term Loan credit agreement (the “CDA Collateral”).

- Mandatory Prepayments: The New Term Loan includes the following mandatory prepayments:

• 75% of excess cash flow (as defined in the New Term Loan and paid if permitted under the New ABL Facility), subject to stepdowns to (w) 50% if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 but greater than 3.50 to 1.00, to (x) 25% if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 but greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (y) 0% if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00;

• 100% of the net cash proceeds of all asset sales or similar dispositions outside of the ordinary course of business, casualty events and other limited exceptions under the New Term Loan (subject to materiality thresholds and customary reinvestment rights); and

• 100% of cash proceeds from debt issuances that are not permitted by the New Term Loan.

- Events of Default: The New Term Loan documentation contains certain customary events of default, including but not limited to the failure to make payments due under the New Term Loan, breach of and failure to cure the breach of certain covenants, the entry of a final unpaid judgment against any of the Term Guarantors in excess of $30 million, the commencement of certain insolvency proceedings, liquidations or dissolutions, a cross-default to certain other indebtedness with an outstanding aggregate principal balance of at least $30 million (other than the New ABL Facility), and cross-acceleration to the New ABL Facility.

- Covenants: The New Term Loan contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants restricting the incurrences of debt, liens, the making of investments and repurchases, transactions with affiliates, fundamental changes and asset sales, and prepayments of junior debt. In addition, refer to the “Liquidity” footnote for financial covenants for each of the remaining test periods.

$450 Million ABL Facility

On February 13, 2014, we entered into the New ABL Facility which is an asset-based $450 million loan facility from a syndicate of banks arranged by RBS Citizens, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith and CIT Finance LLC. The New ABL Facility terminates on February 13, 2019. The Company, YRC Inc., Reddaway, Holland and New Penn are borrowers under the New ABL Facility, and certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are guarantors thereunder. Certain material provisions of the New ABL Facility are summarized below and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the definitive documentation:

- Availability: The aggregate amount available under the New ABL Facility cannot be more than (a) the collateral line cap minus (b) the facility exposure. The facility exposure refers to the aggregate amount of loans and letter of credit outstanding (with an exclusion for certain fees and other amounts owing for letters of credit). The collateral line cap refers to a limit equal to the greater of (a) the commitments by lenders under the facility and (b) the borrowing base. The borrowing base equals the sum of (a) 85% of the sum of (i) Eligible Accounts (as defined in the New ABL Facility) minus without duplication (ii) the Dilution Reserve (as defined in the New ABL Facility relating to reserves for eligible accounts experiencing bad debt write-downs, discounts, allowances and similar dilutive items), plus (b) 100% of Eligible Borrowing Base Cash (as defined in the New ABL Facility and described further below), minus (c) the Deferred Revenue Reserve (as defined in the New ABL Facility which constitutes 85% of the “deferred revenue liability” as reflected on the balance sheet of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal month), minus (d) the Availability Reserve (as defined in the New ABL Facility) imposed by the agent in its permitted discretion (made in good-faith and using reasonable business judgment) to reduce the amount of the borrowing base in light of pre-determined criteria set forth in the New ABL Facility.

- Eligible Borrowing Base Cash: The eligible borrowing base cash is cash that is deposited from time to time into a segregated restricted account maintained at the agent over which the agent has dominion. Such cash can only be withdrawn by us from the account if (i) no event of default exists or would arise as a result of the borrowing base cash release and (ii) availability as of the proposed date of such borrowing base cash release is not less than 15% of the collateral line cap. Eligible borrowing base cash is included in ‘Restricted amounts held in escrow’ in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

- Interest: Revolving loans made under the New ABL Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, of either the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.5% or the base rate (the greater of the prime rate established by the agent, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and one month LIBOR plus 1.00%). Thereafter, the interest rates will be subject to the following price grid based on the average quarterly excess availability under the revolver:

	Average Quarterly	Base Rate	LIBOR
Level	Excess Capacity	Plus	Plus
I	> $140,000,000	1.00%	2.00%
II	>  $70,000,000	1.25%	2.25%
	< $140,000,000
III	< $70,000,000	1.50%	2.50%

The rates set forth above are subject to a 0.25% reduction during any fiscal quarter for which the Company has a total leverage ratio of less than 2.50 to 1.00. We have not drawn on the facility at any time during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

- Letter of Credit Fees: The New ABL Facility has certain specific fees relating to letters of credit which include: (i) fees payable quarterly in arrears equal to the applicable margin in effect for revolving loans (which is listed in the “Interest” description immediately above) multiplied by the average daily stated amount of letters of credit (2.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014), (ii) fronting fees for letters of credit payable quarterly in arrears equal to 0.125% of the stated amount of the letters of credit and (iii) fees to issuing banks to compensate for customary charges related to the issuance and administration of letters of credit.

- Other Fees: Other fees in respect of the New ABL Facility include an unused line fee payable quarterly in arrears calculated by multiplying the amount by which the commitments exceed the loans and letters of credit for any calendar quarter by the unused line fee percentage (such unused line fee percentage initially to 0.25% per annum through March 31, 2014, and thereafter 0.375% per annum if the average revolver usage is less than 50% or 0.25% per annum if the average revolver usage is greater than 50%).

- Collateral: The obligations under the New ABL Facility are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) all accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts and other assets related to accounts receivable of the Company and the other loan parties and an additional second priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) substantially all remaining assets of the borrowers and the guarantors other than CDA Collateral.

- Incremental: The New ABL Facility provides for a $100 million uncommitted accordion to increase the revolving commitment in the future to support borrowing base growth.

- Events of Default: The New ABL Facility contains certain customary events of default, including but not limited to the failure to make payments due under the New ABL Facility, breach of and failure to cure the breach of certain covenants, the entry of a final unpaid judgment against any of the New ABL Facility loan parties in excess of $30 million, the commencement of any insolvency proceeding, liquidation or dissolution, and a cross-default to certain other indebtedness with an outstanding aggregate principal balance of at least $30 million (including the New Term Loan).

- Covenants: The New ABL Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants (including certain customary provisions regarding borrowing base reporting, and including, among others, covenants restricting the incurrences of debt, liens, the making of investments and repurchases, transactions with affiliates, fundamental changes and asset sales, and prepayments of junior debt). Certain of the covenants relating to investments, restricted payments and capital expenditures are relaxed upon meeting specified payment conditions or debt repayment conditions, as applicable. Payment conditions include (i) the absence of an event of default arising from such transaction, (ii) liquidity of at least $100 million or availability of at least $67.5 million and (iii) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined below) for the most recent term period on a pro forma basis is equal to or greater than 1.10 to 1.00. Debt repayment conditions include (i) the absence of an event of default from repaying such debt and (ii) availability on the date of repayment is not less than $67.5 million. During any period commencing when the New ABL Facility borrowers fail to maintain availability in an amount at least equal to 10% of the collateral line cap and until the borrowers have maintained availability of at least 10% of the collateral line cap for 30 consecutive calendar days, the New ABL Facility loan parties are required to maintain a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined below) of at least 1.10 to 1.00. The “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” is defined as (a) (i) Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the New ABL Facility) calculated on a pro forma basis for such period, minus (ii) Capital Expenditures (as defined in the New ABL Facility) made during such period, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of net cash taxes paid in cash during such period, minus (iv) the amount, if any, by which the cash pension contribution for such period exceeds the pension expense for such period, and plus (v) the amount, if any, by which the pension expense for such period exceeds the cash pension contribution for such period, divided by (b) the Consolidated Fixed Charges (as defined in the New ABL Facility) for such period. In addition, refer to the “Liquidity” footnote for covenants for each of the remaining test periods.

[1] As of September 30, 2014, the borrowing base and availability on our New ABL Facility were $448.4 million and $75.5 million, respectively. The availability is calculated in accordance with the terms of the New ABL Facility and is derived by reducing the borrowing base by our $372.9 million of outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2014. The amount which is actually able to be drawn is limited by certain financial covenants in the New ABL Facility to $31.5 million.

[2] Under the terms of the New ABL facility, this amount was classified as “restricted cash” in the consolidated balance sheet at the closing date of the New ABL Facility.

[1] As of September 30, 2014, the borrowing base and availability on our New ABL Facility were $448.4 million and $75.5 million, respectively. The availability is calculated in accordance with the terms of the New ABL Facility and is derived by reducing the borrowing base by our $372.9 million of outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2014. The amount which is actually able to be drawn is limited by certain financial covenants in the New ABL Facility to $31.5 million.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We report on a calendar year basis. The quarters of the Regional Transportation companies (with the exception of New Penn) consist of thirteen weeks that end on a Saturday either before or after the end of March, June and September, whereas all other operating segment quarters end on the natural calendar quarter end. Our investment in our non-majority owned affiliate is accounted for on the equity method.

We make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have prepared the Consolidated Financial Statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these financial statements herein have been made. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Assets Held for Sale

When we plan to dispose of property or equipment by sale, the asset is recorded in the financial statements at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value, less cost to sell, and is reclassified to assets held for sale. Additionally, after such reclassification, there is no further depreciation taken on the asset. For an asset to be classified as held for sale, management must approve and commit to a formal plan, the sale should be anticipated during the ensuing year and the asset must be actively marketed, be available for immediate sale, and meet certain other specified criteria. We use level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of each property considered held for sale.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net book value of assets held for sale was $16.5 million and $17.2 million, respectively. This amount is included in “Property and Equipment” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recorded charges of $0.8 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $0.6 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, to reduce properties held for sale to estimated fair value, less cost to sell. These charges are included in “(Gains) losses on property disposals, net” in the accompanying statements of consolidated comprehensive income (loss).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014:

			Fair Value Measurement Hierarchy
(in millions)	Total Carrying Value		Quoted prices in active market (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Restricted amounts held in escrow-current	$	33.6	$	33.6	$	—	$	—

Restricted amounts held in escrow are invested in money market accounts and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we reclassified the amortization of our net pension loss totaling $1.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net loss. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified the amortization of our net pension loss totaling $3.7 million and $11.1 million, respectively, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income (loss). This reclassification is a component of net periodic pension cost and is discussed in the “Employees’ Benefits” footnote.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new authoritative literature, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The issuance is part of a joint effort by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to enhance financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and, thereby, improving the consistency of requirements, comparability of practices and usefulness of disclosures. The new standard will supersede much of the existing authoritative literature for revenue recognition. The standard and related amendments will be effective for the Company for its annual reporting period ending December 31, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. Entities are allowed to transition to the new standard by either recasting prior periods or recognizing the cumulative effect. While we do not believe the newly-issued guidance will have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is currently evaluating the newly-issued guidance, including which transition approach will be applied.

In August 2014, the FASB issued new authoritative literature, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard provides guidance around management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for our fiscal year December 31, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this newly-issued guidance and the impact, if any, it will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Bryant Holdings Securities Litigation

On February 7, 2011, a putative class action was filed by Bryant Holdings LLC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas on behalf of purchasers of our common stock between April 24, 2008 and November 2, 2009, inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking damages under the federal securities laws for statements and/or omissions allegedly made by us and the individual defendants during the Class Period which plaintiffs claimed to be false and misleading.

The individual defendants are former officers of our Company. No current officers or directors were named in the lawsuit. The parties participated in voluntary mediation between March 11, 2013 and April 15, 2013. The mediation resulted in the execution of a mutually acceptable settlement agreement by the parties, which agreement remains subject to approval by the court. Court approval cannot be assured. Substantially all of the payments contemplated by the settlement will be covered by our liability insurance. The self-insured retention on this matter has been accrued as of September 30, 2014.

On August 19, 2013, the Court entered an Order denying plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Approval of the Settlement.  Plaintiffs filed an Amended Motion for Preliminary Approval and, on November 18, 2013, the Court denied that Motion.  Each denial was based primarily on deficiencies that the Court perceived in the plan that plaintiffs proposed for allocation of the settlement proceeds among class members.  Plaintiffs have revised the plan of allocation and, on February 18, 2014, filed a Second Amended Motion for Preliminary Approval.

Other Legal Matters

We are involved in other litigation or proceedings that arise in ordinary business activities. When possible, we insure against these risks to the extent we deem prudent, but no assurance can be given that the nature or amount of such insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings. Many of these insurance policies contain self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent. Based on our current assessment of information available as of the date of these financial statements, we believe that our financial statements include adequate provisions for estimated costs and losses that may be incurred within the litigation and proceedings to which we are a party.

Liquidity

For a description of our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2014, please refer to the “Debt and Financing” footnote in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Facility Covenants

On February 13, 2014, we completed the 2014 Financing Transactions and refinanced the debt associated with our prior credit facilities. We entered into a New Term Loan credit agreement with new financial covenants that, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio (defined as Consolidated Total Debt divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as defined below).

On September 25, 2014, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment which, among other things, adjusted the maximum permitted total leverage ratio through December 31, 2016 and increased the applicable interest rate over the same period.

The Credit Agreement Amendment resets the total maximum leverage ratio covenants as follows:

Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio	Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio
September 30, 2014	5.25 to 1.00	June 30, 2016	3.75 to 1.00
December 31, 2014	5.25 to 1.00	September 30, 2016	3.75 to 1.00
March 31, 2015	5.00 to 1.00	December 31, 2016	3.50 to 1.00
June 30, 2015	4.75 to 1.00	March 31, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
September 30, 2015	4.50 to 1.00	June 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
December 31, 2015	4.25 to 1.00	September 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
March 31, 2016	4.00 to 1.00	December 31, 2017 and thereafter	3.00 to 1.00

Upon effectiveness of the Credit Agreement Amendment, each consenting lender received a fee equal to 0.25% of their outstanding exposure, resulting in $1.7 million of fees paid in the third quarter of 2014. These fees have been included in ‘Other Assets’ on the consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized over the remaining life of the New Term Loan.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, defined in our Credit Agreement Amendment as “Consolidated EBITDA,” is a measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and is further adjusted for, among other things, letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our International Brotherhood of Teamsters (“IBT”) employees and the results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations. Consolidated Total Debt, as defined in our Credit Agreement Amendment, is the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding. Our total leverage ratio for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2014 was 4.94 to 1.00.

We believe that our results of operations will be sufficient to allow us to comply with the covenants in the Credit Agreement Amendment, fund our operations, increase working capital as necessary to support our planned revenue growth and fund capital expenditures for the next twelve months. In order for us to maintain compliance with the maximum total leverage ratio over the term of the New Term Loan, we must achieve operating results which reflect continuing improvement over our recent results.

Our ability to satisfy our liquidity needs and meet future stepped-up covenants is primarily dependent on improving our profitability. Improvements to our profitability primarily include continued successful implementation and realization of productivity and efficiency initiatives including those identified in the modified labor agreement as well as pricing improvements. Some of these are outside of our control.

In the event our operating results indicate we will not meet our maximum total leverage ratio, we will take action to improve our maximum total leverage ratio which may include paying down our outstanding indebtedness with either cash on hand or from cash proceeds from equity issuances. The issuance of equity is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be able to issue additional equity at terms that are agreeable to us or that we would have sufficient cash on hand to meet the maximum total leverage ratio.

In the event that we fail to comply with any New Term Loan covenant or any New ABL Facility covenant, we would be considered in default, which would enable applicable lenders to accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding, require the cash collateralization of letters of credit (in the case of the New ABL Facility) and exercise remedies with respect to collateral and we would need to seek an amendment or waiver from the applicable lender groups. In the event that our lenders under our New Term Loan or New ABL Facility demand payment or cash collateralization (in the case of the New ABL Facility), we will not have sufficient cash to repay such indebtedness. In addition, a default under our New Term Loan or New ABL Facility or the applicable lenders exercising their remedies thereunder would trigger cross-default provisions in our other indebtedness and certain other operating agreements. Our ability to amend our New Term Loan or our New ABL Facility or otherwise obtain waivers from the applicable lenders depends on matters that are outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in that regard.

Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our New ABL Facility and any prospective net operating cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $181.4 million, and cash and cash equivalents and amounts able to be drawn on our New ABL Facility totaling $212.9 million. The amount which is actually able to be drawn on our New ABL Facility is limited by certain financial covenants in the New ABL Facility. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we used net cash of $26.3 million for our operating activities.

Our principal uses of cash are to fund our operations, including making contributions to our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds, and to meet our other cash obligations including, but not limited to, paying cash interest and principal on our funded debt, payments on our equipment leases, letter of credit fees under our credit facilities and funding capital expenditures.

Our New ABL Facility credit agreement, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires that the Company, in effect, maintain availability of at least 10% of the lesser of the aggregate amount of commitments from all lenders or the borrowing base.

We have a considerable amount of indebtedness. As of September 30, 2014, we had $1,116.8 million in aggregate par value of outstanding indebtedness, the majority of which matures in 2019. We also have considerable future funding obligations for our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds. We expect our funding obligations for the remainder of 2014 for our single-employer pension plans and multi-employer pension funds will be $6.8 million and $23.2 million, respectively. In addition, we have, and will continue to have, substantial operating lease obligations. As of September 30, 2014, our minimum rental expense under operating leases for the remainder of the year is $14.0 million. As of September 30, 2014, our operating lease obligations through 2025 totaled $153.7 million and is expected to increase as we lease additional revenue equipment.

Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $47.6 million and $56.5 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund replacement engines and trailer refurbishments for our revenue fleet and capitalized costs for our network facilities and technology infrastructure. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we entered into new operating leases for revenue equipment for $11.8 million, payable over the average lease term of three years. In light of our operating results and liquidity needs, we have deferred certain capital expenditures and expect to continue to do so for the remainder of 2014. As a result, the average age of our fleet is increasing, which may affect our maintenance costs and operational efficiency unless we are able to obtain suitable lease financing to meet our replacement equipment needs.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We calculate basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing our net earnings (loss) by our weighted-average shares outstanding at the end of the period. The calculation for diluted earnings per share adjusts the weighted average shares outstanding for our dilutive stock options and restricted stock using the treasury stock method and adjusts both net earnings and the weighted average shares outstanding for our dilutive convertible securities using the if-converted method. The if-converted method assumes that all of our dilutive convertible securities would have been converted at the beginning of the period. Our calculation for basic and dilutive earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30 is as follows:

	Three Months						Nine Months
(dollars in millions, except per share data, shares in thousands)	2014			2013			2014			2013
Basic net income (loss) available to common shareholders	$	1.2		$	(44.4	)	$	(92.0	)	$	(84.0	)

Effect of dilutive securities:

Diluted loss per share	$	(0.03	)	$	(4.45	)	$	(3.30	)	$	(9.29	)

¹The Series B Notes are recorded at a discount that accelerates upon conversion and contain a make-whole interest premium that would require us to pay interest as if the security was held to maturity upon conversion and, as such, would result in incremental expense under the if-converted method.

Given our net loss position for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no dilutive securities for these periods.

Anti-dilutive options and share units were 358,000 and 834,000 at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Anti-dilutive Series A Note conversion shares was 5,099,000 at September 30, 2013. Anti-dilutive Series B Note conversion shares, including the make whole premiums, was 4,219,000 September 30, 2013.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 137.5% and 18.2%, compared to (19.7)% and 7.9%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The significant items impacting the 2014 rate include the settlement of several audits with the Internal Revenue Service as described below, a net state and foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, an intraperiod tax allocation required by ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2014. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets were subject to a valuation allowance.

Concurrent with the financing transactions of January 31, 2014 described in the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote, the Company experienced a change of ownership as described in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  The impact of the 2014 ownership change on the Company’s ability to utilize its Net Operating Loss carryforwards and other tax attributes is not expected to be material, as the carryforwards to which this ownership change would apply already have been significantly limited by previous ownership changes occurring in 2011 and 2013.

During the third quarter, 2014, we settled certain tax litigation with the Internal Revenue Service regarding tax years 2005 through 2007, resulting in refunds of $4.7 million and the recognition of $2.3 million of federal tax benefit. Further, the resolution of certain issues resulted in the recognition of $5.6 million of previously unrecognized tax benefits and the reversal of $1.5 million of related interest previously accrued. The resolution of the federal audits resulted in an estimated $1.7 million of additional state tax liability.

Business Segments

We report financial and descriptive information about our reporting segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We evaluate segment performance primarily on external revenue and operating income (loss).

We have the following reportable segments, which are strategic business units that offer complementary transportation services to our customers:

• YRC Freight is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in national, regional and international services. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Inc. (our YRC Freight operations in the United States) and Reimer Express, a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.

• Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. The Regional Transportation companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

We charge management fees and other corporate service fees to our reportable segments based on the direct benefits received or an overhead allocation basis. Corporate and other operating losses represent residual operating expenses of the holding company. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, an investment in an equity method affiliate and deferred debt issuance costs. Intersegment revenue primarily relates to transportation services between our segments.

The following table summarizes our operations by business segment:

We entered into a New Term Loan credit agreement with new financial covenants that, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio (defined as Consolidated Total Debt divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as defined below).

On September 25, 2014, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment which, among other things, adjusted the maximum permitted total leverage ratio through December 31, 2016 and increased the applicable interest rate over the same period.

The Credit Agreement Amendment resets the total maximum leverage ratio covenants as follows:

Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio	Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio
September 30, 2014	5.25 to 1.00	June 30, 2016	3.75 to 1.00
December 31, 2014	5.25 to 1.00	September 30, 2016	3.75 to 1.00
March 31, 2015	5.00 to 1.00	December 31, 2016	3.50 to 1.00
June 30, 2015	4.75 to 1.00	March 31, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
September 30, 2015	4.50 to 1.00	June 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
December 31, 2015	4.25 to 1.00	September 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
March 31, 2016	4.00 to 1.00	December 31, 2017 and thereafter	3.00 to 1.00

Our Series B Notes are convertible into our common stock, at any time at the conversion price per share of approximately $18.5334 and a conversion rate of 53.9567 common shares per $1,000 of the Series B Notes (such conversion price and conversion rate applying also to the Series B Notes make whole premium). As of September 30, 2014, the effective conversion price and conversion rate for our Series B Notes (after taking into account the make whole premium) was $17.5599 and 56.9476 common shares per $1,000 of Series B Notes, respectively.

Outside of these exchange agreements, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $1.2 million and $29.1 million of aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes were converted into 75,900 and 1.9 million shares of our common stock, which includes the make whole premium.  Upon conversion, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded $0.4 million of additional interest expense representing the $0.2 million make whole premium and $0.2 million of accelerated amortization of the discount on converted Series B Notes. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded $6.2 million of additional interest expense representing the $2.7 million make whole premium and $3.5 million of accelerated amortization of the discount on converted Series B Notes.
