PRESS RELEASE

PRESENTATION

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On July 27, 2006, we issued a press release reporting our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 (the “Press Release”). We also hosted a conference call and webcast on July 27, 2006 during which we made a presentation on our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 (the “Presentation”). The Press Release and the Presentation are available on our website at www.ryder.com.

The Press Release and the Presentation include information regarding our (i) net earnings excluding income tax benefits (“Tax Benefits”) and (ii) net earnings per share excluding the Tax Benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC regulations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors as the measures exclude from our GAAP earnings benefits unrelated to our ongoing business operations. In the Presentation, we also include information regarding our return on capital metric. We believe that both debt (including off-balance sheet debt) and equity should be included in evaluating how effectively capital is utilized across the business. Information regarding other non-GAAP financial measures we use is included in the Presentation.

The information in this Report, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and General Instruction B.2 thereunder and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.

RYDER REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2006 RESULTS
- - Second Quarter EPS of $1.13, Includes an $0.11 Tax Benefit -
- - Comparable EPS of $1.02 Increases 19% -
- - Revenue Up 15%; Operating Revenue Grows 6% -
- - Full Year EPS Forecast Range Raised to $4.00 to $4.10 -

     MIAMI, July 27, 2006 – Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE:R), a global leader in transportation and supply chain management solutions, today reported net earnings for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, were $70.3 million, compared with $63.3 million in the year-earlier period. Net earnings in the current period included an income tax benefit of $6.8 million related to changes in Texas and Canadian income tax laws. Net earnings in the year-earlier period included an income tax benefit of $7.6 million related to a change in Ohio income tax law. Excluding the tax benefit in both years, second quarter 2006 net earnings were up 14% to $63.5 million. All business segments reported improved results, reflecting better operating performance and continuing leverage from revenue growth.

     Earnings per diluted share (EPS) were $1.13 for the second quarter of 2006, compared with $0.98 in the year-earlier period. EPS in the current period included an $0.11 income tax benefit related to changes in Texas and Canadian income tax laws. EPS in the year-earlier period included a $0.12 income tax benefit related to a change in Ohio income tax law. Excluding the tax benefits in both years, EPS for the second quarter were up 19% to $1.02, which compares with the Company’s previous EPS forecast range of $0.95 to $1.00. EPS improvement also reflects the impact of a stock repurchase program completed in February of 2006.

     Revenue for the second quarter of 2006 was $1.60 billion, up 15% from $1.39 billion in the same period last year, with all business segments reporting revenue growth. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) was $1.11 billion, up 6% compared with $1.05 billion in the year-earlier period. Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment revenue grew 8% driven by higher fuel services revenue and full service lease contract growth. FMS operating

revenue increased 2% due to full service lease contract growth of 3%. Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business segment revenue grew 34% in the second quarter, driven by increased volume of managed subcontracted transportation. SCS operating revenue increased 17% due to higher volumes and new and expanded business in all industry groups. Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) business segment revenue and operating revenue both increased 7% due to new and expanded business and pricing increases associated with higher fuel costs.

     “We delivered a 14% increase in comparable earnings from 6% higher operating revenue, reflecting strong earnings on accelerated contractual revenue growth,” said Ryder Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Greg Swienton. “This marks another successful growth quarter including higher operating revenue and increased earnings in every business segment.”

Year-to-Date Operating Results

     Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $3.09 billion, up 14% from $2.71 billion in the same period of 2005. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) for the first half of 2006 was $2.17 billion, up 5% from $2.06 billion in the first half of 2005. Ryder’s net earnings in the first half of 2006 were $117.9 million, compared with $104.8 million in the year-earlier period. EPS were $1.91 for the first six months of 2006 compared with $1.61 for the same period of 2005. Excluding the previously discussed income tax benefits in both years, year-to-date 2006 net earnings were up 14% to $111.1 million, and EPS were up 20% to $1.80, compared with the year-earlier period. EPS for the first half of 2006 included a one-time recovery of $0.02 associated with the recognition of common stock received from mutual insurance companies in a prior year. EPS for the first half of 2005 included a one-time recovery of $0.02 associated with the reimbursement of project costs incurred in prior years.

Second Quarter Business Segment Operating Results

     Ryder’s primary measurement of business segment financial performance, Net Before Tax (NBT), allocates Central Support Services to each business segment.

Fleet Management Solutions

     Ryder’s Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment combines several capabilities into a comprehensive package that provides one-stop outsourcing of the acquisition,

2

maintenance, management, and disposal of vehicles. Ryder’s commercial rental service offers customers a method to expand their fleets in order to address specific or short-term capacity needs.

     In the FMS business segment, revenue in the second quarter of 2006 was $1,049.5 million, up 8% compared with $969.6 million in the year-earlier period. Fuel services revenue for the second quarter of 2006 increased 28% compared with the same period in 2005 due primarily to higher fuel pricing as a result of market cost increases. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel) in the second quarter of 2006 was $730.1 million, up 2% compared with $719.3 million in the year-earlier period. Full service lease revenue for the quarter was up 3% from the same period last year due primarily to growth in the U.S. business. Commercial rental revenue decreased 2% from the year-earlier period, reflecting a 5% smaller average fleet, partially offset by higher pricing. Contract maintenance and contract-related maintenance revenue decreased 1% in the second quarter of 2006 compared with the same period last year due primarily to the non-renewal of customer contracts in the U.K.

     The FMS business segment’s NBT increased to $94.9 million in the second quarter of 2006, up 7% compared with $88.9 million in the same period of 2005. This improvement was related primarily to better North American lease performance and improved used vehicle sales results (higher gains and lower carrying costs), as well as lower maintenance and depreciation costs. Those results were offset partially by higher interest expense due primarily to planned higher debt levels to support investment in the contractual full service lease business. To a lesser extent, the FMS business segment’s NBT was impacted by higher compensation-related expenses in North America and lower margins in the Company’s U.K. operations. Business segment NBT as a percentage of operating revenue was 13.0% in the second quarter of 2006, up 60 basis points compared with 12.4% in the same quarter a year ago.

Supply Chain Solutions

     Ryder’s Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business segment enables customers to improve shareholder value and their customers’ satisfaction by enhancing supply chain performance and reducing costs. The solutions involve management of the logistics pipeline as a synchronized, integrated process – from raw material supply to finished goods distribution. By improving business processes and employing new technologies, the flow of goods and cash is made faster and consumes less capital.

3

     In the SCS business segment, second quarter 2006 revenue totaled $502.1 million, up 34% from $374.9 million in the comparable period in 2005. Revenue grew primarily due to increased volume of managed subcontracted transportation, as well as higher volumes and new and expanded business in all industry groups. Second quarter 2006 operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation) was $291.3 million, up 17% compared with $249.2 million in the year-earlier period.

     The SCS business segment’s NBT was $18.1 million in the second quarter of 2006, up 117% from $8.3 million in the same quarter of 2005. Second quarter 2006 NBT for the business segment as a percentage of operating revenue was 6.2%, compared with 3.3% in the same quarter of 2005. The earnings increase was due to higher volumes and new and expanded business in all U.S. industry groups and better margins in the Company’s Brazil operations. Business segment earnings in 2006 also included a $2.5 million benefit related to a contract termination. Excluding this item, business segment NBT as a percentage of operating revenue would have been 5.3% in the second quarter of 2006.

Dedicated Contract Carriage

     Ryder’s Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) business segment provides customers with vehicles, drivers, management, and administrative support, with the assets committed to a specific customer for a contractual term. DCC supports customers with both basic and sophisticated logistics and transportation needs including routing and scheduling, specialized driver services, and logistical engineering support.

     In the DCC business segment, second quarter 2006 revenue totaled $143.5 million, up 7% compared with $133.8 million in the second quarter of 2005. Operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation) in the second quarter of 2006 was $139.1 million, up 7% from $129.8 million in the year-earlier period. Revenue increased because of pricing increases associated with higher fuel costs, as well as expanded and new business.

     The DCC business segment’s NBT in the second quarter of 2006 was $11.2 million, up 16% compared with $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2005. Business segment NBT was positively impacted by new and expanded business. Business segment NBT as a percentage of operating revenue was 8.0% in the second quarter of 2006, up 60 basis points from 7.4% in the year-earlier period.

Corporate Financial Information

Central Support Services

     Central Support Services (CSS) are overhead costs incurred to support all business segments and product lines. Substantially all CSS costs are allocated to the various business segments. In the second quarter of 2006, CSS costs were $49.2 million, compared with $49.1 million in the year-earlier period. The second quarter 2006 costs included a charge of $1.3 million related to the settlement of litigation associated with a discontinued operation. CSS costs in the quarter also included higher share-based compensation from the expensing of stock options and incentive compensation. These cost increases were offset by lower information technology spending principally from ongoing cost containment initiatives.

Capital Expenditures

     In Ryder’s business, capital expenditures are generally used to purchase revenue-earning equipment (trucks, tractors, and trailers) primarily to support the full service lease product line and secondarily to support the commercial rental product line within Ryder’s Fleet Management Solutions business segment. The level of capital required to support the full service lease product line varies directly with customer contract signings for replacement vehicles and growth. These contracts are long-term agreements that result in predictable revenues and cash flows to Ryder typically over a three- to ten-year term. The commercial rental product line utilizes capital for the purchase of vehicles to replenish and expand the Company’s fleet available for shorter-term use by contractual or occasional customers.

     Capital expenditures were $814.5 million for the first half of 2006, compared with $820.9 million in the same period of 2005. Net capital expenditures (including proceeds from the sale of assets) were $634.8 million for the first half of 2006, down from $650.3 million in the same period of 2005. The slight decrease in capital expenditures reflects lower planned spending for commercial rental vehicles, which was partially offset by increased lease vehicle spending for replacement and expansion of customer fleets.

5

     The Company anticipates full-year 2006 capital expenditures to be approximately $1.8 billion, up from $1.4 billion in 2005, in order to support the planned replacement and expansion of vehicles assigned to long-term lease customers. This represents an increase of approximately $200 million over our previous forecast, due primarily to higher than expected new sales activity within the full service lease product line. Capital expenditures net of used vehicle sales proceeds for the full-year 2006 are expected to be approximately $1.4 billion, up from $1.1 billion in 2005.

Cash Flow and Leverage

     Operating cash flow as of June 30, 2006 was $298.3 million, up 81% from $164.8 million in the same period of 2005. Free cash flow as of June 30, 2006 was negative $266.9 million and improved on a comparative basis from negative $425.3 million for the year-earlier period. The improvement was due primarily to lower income tax payments, as the year-earlier period included a $176 million payment related to the 1998 to 2000 tax years, offset partially by increased pension contributions and working capital growth.

     Balance sheet debt as of June 30, 2006 increased by $303.7 million compared with year-end 2005, due primarily to increased capital spending required to support contractual revenue growth. The leverage ratio for balance sheet debt as of June 30, 2006 was 151%, compared with 143% at year-end 2005. Total obligations to equity as of June 30, 2006 were 156%, up from 151% at year-end 2005. The Company’s long-term target range for total obligations to equity is 250% to 300%, which largely reflects the liquidity of the Company’s vehicle portfolio and the substantial revenue component that is supported by long-term customer contracts related to those assets.

Outlook

     Commenting on Ryder’s outlook, Mr. Swienton said, “We’re seeing continued, profitable revenue growth across all three of our business segments. Our teams in Supply Chain Solutions, Dedicated Contract Carriage and Fleet Management Solutions are retaining, expanding and attracting new business with quality customers. We are particularly pleased with the strong contractual sales in full service lease, our largest product line.”

     He continued, “We are raising our full-year 2006 forecast to a range of $4.00 to $4.10 per share, including the previously disclosed $0.11 tax benefit realized in the second quarter. We are also establishing a third quarter 2006 EPS forecast to be in the range of $1.05 to $1.10.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined by SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, we provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure and an explanation why management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, the following non-GAAP financial measures are included in this presentation:

EPS and Net Earnings Reconciliation ($ Millions or $ Earnings Per Share) * Earnings per share amounts are calculated independently for each component and may not be additive due to rounding

Adjusted Return on Capital Reconciliation (1) Earnings calculated based on a 12-month rolling period. (2) Interest expense includes implied interest on off-balance sheet vehicle obligations. (3) Income taxes were calculated using the effective income tax rate for the period exclusive of tax benefits recognized June 2006 and 2005, respectively. (4) Represents shareholders' equity adjusted for discontinued operations, accounting changes and the tax benefits in those periods. ($ Millions)

Free Cash Flow Reconciliation (1) Capital expenditures presented net of changes in accounts payable related to purchases of revenue earning equipment. (2) The Company uses free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, because management considers it to be an important measure of comparative operating performance. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and shareholders after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. The calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. (3) Amounts have not been recasted to give effect for the impact of foreign exchange movements on cash for which the impact is not expected to be significant. ($ Millions)

Debt to Equity Reconciliation Note: In connection with adopting FIN 46 effective July 1, 2003, the Company consolidated the vehicle securitization trusts previously disclosed as off-balance sheet debt. (1) The Company uses total obligations and total obligations to equity, non-GAAP financial measures, which include certain off-balance sheet financial obligations relating to revenue earning equipment. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors as they are more complete measures of the Company's existing financial obligations and help investors better assess the Company's overall leverage position.
