Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) and all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (subsidiaries) and variable interest entities (VIE) where Ryder is determined to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Ryder is deemed to be the primary beneficiary if we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and we share in the significant risks and rewards of the entity. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we previously reported certain costs in "Cost of fuel services" that should have been included in the "Cost of services" within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. These costs were not material to any financial statement line item, and we elected to revise the presentation of these prior period costs to conform to the current year presentation in our financial statements. We added the "Operating lease right-of-use assets" financial statement line to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets were previously included in "Sales-type leases and other assets" in the year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We report our financial performance based on three business segments: (1) Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides full service leasing and leasing with flexible maintenance options, commercial rental and maintenance services of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the United States (U.S.) and Canada; (2) Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides integrated logistics solutions, including distribution management, dedicated transportation, transportation management, brokerage, e-commerce, last mile, and professional services in North America; and (3) Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS), which provides turnkey transportation solutions in the U.S., including dedicated vehicles, professional drivers, management, and administrative support. Dedicated transportation services provided as part of an operationally integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution to SCS customers are primarily reported in the SCS business segment.

In the beginning of 2022, we announced our intention to exit our lower return FMS Europe (primarily United Kingdom (U.K.)) business. We completed the shutdown of operations as well as the sale of the remaining vehicles and properties as of June 30, 2023, generating cash proceeds of $394 million and recording gains of $95 million from the beginning of 2022 through June 30, 2023. As a result of the shutdown, we reclassified $188 million ($183 million, net of tax) of cumulative currency translation adjustment charges from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet into a one-time, non-cash charge in the second quarter of 2023 in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The currency translation adjustment loss had no material impact on our consolidated financial position or cash flows. Refer to Note 10, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss" for a discussion on the currency translation adjustment loss.
