WERNER ENTERPRISES ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2012
EARNINGS EXPECTATIONS
Omaha, Nebraska, September 13, 2012:
-----------------------------------
Werner Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: WERN), one of the nation's
largest transportation and logistics companies, announced today that,
based on factors known as of the date of this release, it expects
earnings per diluted share for the third quarter ending September 30,
2012 to be in the range of 33 cents to 36 cents per diluted share.
Significant factors that are affecting earnings per share in third
quarter 2012 compared to third quarter 2011 include cost increases for
truck and trailer depreciation and driver pay, as we noted in our second
quarter 2012 earnings release. Rising fuel prices, increased equipment
maintenance costs and higher health care costs are also affecting our
earnings. These costs are increasing faster than our revenue per mile.
Werner Enterprises, Inc. was founded in 1956 and is a premier
transportation and logistics company, with coverage throughout North
America, Asia, Europe, South America, Africa and Australia. Werner
maintains its global headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska and maintains
offices in the United States, Canada, Mexico, China and Australia.
Werner is among the five largest truckload carriers in the United
States, with a diversified portfolio of transportation services that
includes dedicated van, temperature-controlled and flatbed; medium-to-
long-haul, regional and local van; and expedited services. Werner's
Value Added Services portfolio includes freight management, truck
brokerage, intermodal, and international services. International
services are provided through Werner's domestic and global subsidiary
companies and include ocean, air and ground transportation; freight
forwarding; and customs brokerage.
Werner Enterprises, Inc.'s common stock trades on The NASDAQ Global
Select MarketSM under the symbol "WERN". For further information about
Werner, visit the Company's website at www.werner.com.
This press release may contain forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Such forward-looking
statements are based on information presently available to Werner's
management and are current only as of the date made. Actual results
could also differ materially from those anticipated as a result of a
number of factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in
Werner's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2011. For those reasons, undue reliance should not be placed on any
forward-looking statement. The Company assumes no duty or obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statement, although it may do so
from time to time as management believes is warranted or as may be
required by applicable securities law. Any such updates or revisions
may be made by filing reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, through the issuance of press releases or by other methods
of public disclosure.
