Paul Bunn, the Company’s President commented on truckload operations, “For the quarter, total revenue in our truckload operations increased 8.7%, to
$201.5 million, compared to 2023. The increase in total revenue consisted of $15.5 million more freight revenue and $0.7 million more fuel surcharge revenue. The increase in freight revenue primarily related to operating 191 or 9.1% more average
tractors combined with improved freight revenue per total mile, partially offset by a reduction in utilization compared to the prior year.”
Mr. Bunn added, “Freight revenue in our Expedited segment increased $2.9 million, or 3.4%. Average total tractors increased by 6.4%
to 910, compared to 855 in the prior year quarter. Average freight revenue per tractor per week decreased 2.8% as a result of a 1.9% reduction in freight revenue per total mile and a slight reduction in utilization. The reduction in freight revenue
per total mile was largely a result of customer rate resets that occurred in the second quarter of the year.”
“For the quarter, freight revenue in our Dedicated segment increased $12.6 million, or 18.2%. Average total tractors increased
by 10.9% to 1,384, compared to 1,248 in the prior year quarter. Average freight revenue per tractor per week increased 6.6% as a result of a 7.1% increase in freight revenue per total mile, offset by a 0.5% reduction in utilization.”
Mr. Bunn continued, “Our truckload operating cost per total mile increased 3 cents, or 1.1%, on a per total mile basis, compared to the prior quarter.
On a non-GAAP or adjusted basis, our truckload operating cost per total mile increased 8 cents per total mile or 3.5% compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to increases in salaries and wages, insurance and claims, and revenue equipment
related costs, offset by reductions in fuel and operational and maintenance costs.
“Salaries, wages and related expenses increased year-over-year by 3 cents, or approximately 2%, on a per total mile basis, compared to the prior year
primarily due to increased driver pay resulting from growth in the dedicated business.
“Insurance and claims expense increased by 8 cents, or approximately 56%, on a per total mile basis, compared to the prior year quarter as a result of
increases in current period claims expense and the development and settlement of one large prior period claim. Given our self-insurance limits, the amount of expense recognized from period to period can fluctuate.
“Fixed expenses related to revenue producing equipment, including purchases of new equipment, depreciation, and loss on sale increased by 3 cents, or
approximately 8%, on a per total mile basis compared to the prior year due to operating newer more costly equipment and loss on sale of used equipment driven by headwinds in the used equipment market. Operating a younger fleet is part of our
strategic effort to reduce the total cost of ownership of our equipment, improve driver satisfaction and maximize our operating flexibility in the midst of a tightening regulatory environment. In the second quarter of 2024, we recognized a loss on
sale of equipment of $0.9 million, compared to a gain of $2.0 million in the prior year quarter.”

“For the quarter, Warehousing’s freight revenue increased 0.7% versus the prior year quarter. Operating income and adjusted operating income for the Warehousing segment increased $1.3
million and $1.2 million, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2023, as a result of improvements to direct labor costs and the year over year impact of customer rate increases that have taken effect.”
Capitalization, Liquidity and Capital Expenditures
Tripp Grant, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, added the following comments: At June 30, 2024, our total indebtedness, composed of total debt and finance lease obligations, net of cash
(“net indebtedness”), increased by $25.0 million to approximately $273.3 million as compared to December 31, 2023. In addition, our net indebtedness to total capitalization increased to 39.4% at June 30, 2024 from 38.1% at December 31, 2023.
“The increase in net indebtedness in the first half of the current year is primarily attributable to approximately $55.4 million of net capital expenditures for revenue equipment, the final
post-acquisition earnout payment of $10.0 million related to AAT’s operational performance, and the prepayment of approximately $14.0 million of insurance policy premiums, partially offset by cash flows from operations. Absent a change to our
capital allocation plan, as we progress through the second half of 2024, we believe that our net indebtedness will be reduced.
“At June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.3 million. Under our ABL credit facility, we had no borrowings outstanding, undrawn letters of credit outstanding of $20.8
million, and available borrowing capacity of $89.2 million. The sole financial covenant under our ABL facility is a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant that is tested only when available borrowing capacity is below a certain threshold. Based on
availability as of June 30, 2024, no testing was required, and we do not expect testing to be required in the foreseeable future.
“At the end of the quarter, we had $7.7 million in assets held for sale that we anticipate disposing of within twelve months. The average age of our tractors remained steady at 21 months since
the March 2024 quarter.
“For the balance of 2024, our baseline expectation for net capital equipment expenditures is $30 million to $40 million. Our current capital investment plan remains unchanged and reflects our
priorities of growing our Dedicated business, maintaining the average age of our fleet in a manner that allows us to optimize operational uptime and related operating costs, and offering a fleet of equipment that our professional drivers are
proud to operate. We expect the benefits of improved utilization, fuel economy and maintenance costs to produce acceptable returns despite increased prices of new equipment and potentially lower values of used equipment.”
Outlook
Mr. Parker concluded, “Our consistently strong financial performance over the duration of a very weak general freight market is encouraging and reflects the benefits of the significant
structural changes made to our business model over the last four years as part of our strategic plan. We remain committed to continued improvement to our business model and are actively working to take Covenant to the next level of performance.
While we believe freight market fundamentals have continued to slowly improve and macroeconomic indicators are beginning to positively reveal themselves, absent an outside catalyst, we believe a material improvement in the freight market will
take time. Regardless of the operating environment, our focus and commitment remains unchanged as we execute our strategic plan through tactical step by step execution that will continue to allow us to capitalize on opportunities that drive us
deeper into the supply chain, add value for our customers, and create efficiencies across our enterprise, which we believe will allow us to become a stronger, more profitable, and more predictable business.”

(1) See GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation in the
schedules included with this release. In addition to operating income (loss), operating ratio, net income, and earnings per diluted share, we use adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income, and adjusted
earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP measures, as key measures of profitability. Adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share are not substitutes for operating income
(loss), operating ratio, net income, and earnings per diluted share measured in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. We believe our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures are useful because
it provides investors and securities analysts with supplemental information that we use internally for purposes of assessing profitability. Further, our Board and management use non-GAAP operating income (loss), operating ratio, net income, and
earnings per diluted share measures on a supplemental basis to remove items that may not be an indicator of performance from period-to-period. Although we believe that adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net
income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share improves comparability in analyzing our period-to-period performance, they could limit comparability to other companies in our industry, if those companies define such measures differently. Because
of these limitations, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per diluted share should not be considered measures of income generated by our business or discretionary cash available
to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis.
This press release contains certain statements that may be considered 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 such statements are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Such
statements may be identified by their use of terms or phrases such as “expects,” “estimates,” “projects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” "intends," “outlook,” “focus,” “seek,” “potential,” “mission,” “continue,” “goal,” “target,” “objective,” derivations thereof, and similar terms and phrases. Forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which
cannot be predicted or quantified, which could cause future events and actual results to differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by, or underlying the forward-looking statements. In this press release, statements relating to
future availability and covenant testing under our ABL credit facility, equipment age, net capital expenditures and related priorities, benefits, and returns, capital allocation alternatives, progress toward our strategic goals and the
expected impact of achieving such goals, and the statements under “Outlook” are forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: Our business is subject to economic, credit, business, and regulatory
factors affecting the truckload industry that are largely beyond our control; We may not be successful in achieving our strategic plan; We operate in a highly competitive and fragmented industry; We may not grow substantially in the future
and we may not be successful in improving our profitability; We may not make acquisitions in the future, or if we do, we may not be successful in our acquisition strategy; The conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, expansion of such
conflicts to other areas or countries or similar conflicts could adversely impact our business and financial results; Increases in driver compensation or difficulties attracting and retaining qualified drivers could have a materially adverse
effect on our profitability and the ability to maintain or grow our fleet; Our engagement of independent contractors to provide a portion of our capacity exposes us to different risks than we face with our tractors driven by company drivers;
We derive a significant portion of our revenues from our major customers; Fluctuations in the price or availability of fuel, the volume and terms of diesel fuel purchase commitments, surcharge collection, and hedging activities may increase
our costs of operation; We depend on third-party providers, particularly in our Managed Freight segment; We depend on the proper functioning and availability of our management information and communication systems and other information
technology assets (including the data contained therein) and a system failure or unavailability, including those caused by cybersecurity breaches internally or with third-parties, or an inability to effectively upgrade such systems and assets
could cause a significant disruption to our business; If we are unable to retain our key employees, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed; Seasonality and the impact of weather and climate change and
other catastrophic events affect our operations and profitability; We self-insure for a significant portion of our claims exposure, which could significantly increase the volatility of, and decrease the amount of, our earnings; Our
self-insurance for auto liability claims and our use of captive insurance companies could adversely impact our operations; We have experienced, and may experience additional, erosion of available limits in our aggregate insurance policies; We
may experience additional expense to reinstate insurance policies due to liability claims; We operate in a highly regulated industry; If our independent contractor drivers are deemed by regulators or judicial process to be employees, our
business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected; Developments in labor and employment law and any unionizing efforts by employees could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations; The
Compliance Safety Accountability program adopted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration could adversely affect our profitability and operations, our ability to maintain or grow our fleet, and our customer relationships; An
unfavorable development in the Department of Transportation safety rating at any of our motor carriers could have a materially adverse effect on our operations and profitability; Compliance with various environmental laws and regulations;
Changes to trade regulation, quotas, duties, or tariffs; Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations; Increasing attention on environmental, social and governance matters may have a negative
impact on our business, impose additional costs on us, and expose us to additional risks; Our ABL credit facility and other financing arrangements contain certain covenants, restrictions, and requirements, and we may be unable to comply with
such covenants, restrictions, and requirements; In the future, we may need to obtain additional financing that may not be available or, if it is available, may result in a reduction in the percentage ownership of our stockholders; Our
indebtedness and finance and operating lease obligations could adversely affect our ability to respond to changes in our industry or business; Our profitability may be materially adversely impacted if our capital investments do not match
customer demand or if there is a decline in the availability of funding sources for these investments; Increased prices for new revenue equipment, design changes of new engines, future uses of autonomous tractors, volatility in the used
equipment market, decreased availability of new revenue equipment, and the failure of manufacturers to meet their sale or trade-back obligations to us could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations, and profitability; Our 49% owned subsidiary, Transport Enterprise Leasing, faces certain additional risks particular to its operations, any one of which could adversely affect our operating results; We could determine that our
goodwill and other intangible assets are impaired, thus recognizing a related loss; Our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and his wife control a large portion of our stock and have substantial control over us, which could
limit other stockholders' ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including changes of control; Provisions in our charter documents or Nevada law may inhibit a takeover, which could limit the price investors might be willing to
pay for our Class A common stock; The market price of our Class A common stock may be volatile; We cannot guarantee the timing or amount of repurchases of our Class A common stock, or the declaration of future dividends, if any; If we fail to
maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, there could be an elevated possibility of a material misstatement, and such a misstatement could cause investors to lose confidence in our financial statements, which
could have a material adverse effect on our stock price; and The effects of a widespread outbreak of an illness or disease, or any other public health crisis, as well as regulatory measures implemented in response to such events, could
negatively impact the health and safety of our workforce and/or adversely impact our business and results of operations. The declaration of future dividends is subject to approval of our board of directors and various risks and uncertainties,
including, but not limited to: our cash flow and cash needs; compliance with applicable law; restrictions on the payment of dividends under existing or future financing arrangements; changes in tax laws relating to corporate dividends;
deterioration in our financial condition or results: and those risks, uncertainties, and other factors identified from time-to-time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers should review and consider these factors
along with the various disclosures by the Company in its press releases, stockholder reports, and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect
actual results or changes in the factors affecting the forward-looking information.
