Transportation Sector
John G. Larkin, Stifel Nicolaus
November 16, 2006
“Anecdotal evidence from conversations with several truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL) and rail company representatives suggests that industry demand remains depressed during the time of year when volumes are typically the strongest.”
“Some carriers implied that competition for freight is heating up. Though pricing still appears to be rational, we would not be surprised if some carriers are experiencing a bit of downward pressure on rates in 4Q06.”
“In light of the insights we gained at the conference, we continue to believe that the long-term, capacity-constrained operating environment (in which we expect the industry to operate for the forseeable future) will provide the requisite backdrop for well-managed companies to raise rates in excess of their cost increases, to expand margins, and to benefit from industry consolidation—all of which should translate into above-market earnings growth for investors. Therefore, we suggest long-term investors should view the current environment, the relatively weak near-term outlook for industry demand, and the resulting depressed valuations across the transportation group as an opportunity to build positions in several companies that we view as long-term industry winners.” October 30, 2006
“In this fundamentally tight supply/demand environment, the trick is to provide very good service with the fleet you have rather than mediocre service with a fleet that’s growing,” Larkin says. The high-service carriers have been able to command prices that meet or even exceed rising costs. Considering the capacity constraints, that favorable pricing position should hold unless demand drops off dramatically.”
Jon A. Langenfeld, Baird
September 26, 2006
“The US’ national average for diesel fuel has fallen -15% from August 2006’s peak of $3.07/gallon and -10% quarter-to-date. The decline should benefit TL carriers and offset the drag caused by the run-up in diesel prices for the first 6 weeks of 3Q06. Importantly, diesel fuel prices at current levels and below set up nicely for 4Q06, as TL carriers suffered from the spike in fuel costs following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 4Q05.”
Edward Wolfe, Bear Stearns
September 15, 2006
“We suspect much of the weaker TL demand is actually resulting from an increased supply of trucks. Outside of weakened direct and in-direct demand for home building, which we estimate represents about 8% and 6.5% respectively of TL and LTL total revenue; we see few signs of a slowing freight economy. During the 4Q, the TL and LTL carriers will face very steep comparisons versus a year ago when the U.S. government spent about $300M on purchasing truck capacity in the Gulf, during the already capacity constrained strong peak shipping season.”

Note: Balance Sheet figures are expected as of December 31, 2006 as per Silver Management Financial Plan.
1 Assumes that a minimum amount of cash is required to operate the business post-acquisition. In this case, the amount assumed to be retained equals current cash balance as of 30-Sep-2006.
2 Represents Silver shares personally held by JM and not used as collateral in connection with the Shareholder loan to be made by MS. As of latest 13D filing JM personally owns 27% of total outstanding shares of 74.9mm. JM shares do not include the 9,018,353 shares held by (i) the Moyes Children’s Limited Partnership and (ii) seven irrevocable trusts for the benefit of six children of Jerry and Vickie Moyes and by an irrevocable trust for the benefit of Jerry and Vickie Moyes and six of their children. The shares shown for JM also do not include 360,000 shares held by an irrevocable trust for the children of Jerry and Vickie Moyes.
3 Assumes JM has pledged $410 million worth of stock as collateral. Therefore, JM will borrow the maximum amount of MS shareholder loan. The shareholder loan will be secured by Silver shares currently held by JM, which in the case of maximum drawdown equals 14.1 million shares of Silver (at the current offer price of $29).
4 Represents the additional equity required to finance the acquisition of 100% of the company. Under the current proposal of $29/share this amounts to 9,827,586 shares of Silver. The shares currently held by the Moyes Children’s
Limited Partnership equals 9,018,353 shares and the shares held by an irrevocable trust for the children of Jerry and Vickie Moyes equals 360,000 shares.
5 Estimated payments to be made to certain members of management based on change of control agreements that have been signed with Silver upon the acquisition by a third party.
6 Assumes aggregate fees, which includes both sellside and buyside advisory fees. Supporting Materials 43
