CEO Comment

Commenting on the company's results and outlook, Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez said,

"We are pleased with our record third-quarter earnings results reflecting favorable demand and pricing in used vehicle sales and rental, as well as higher lease returns from our ongoing pricing initiatives. We realized 15.7% ROE while also generating strong free cash flow.

"Robust freight conditions combined with unprecedented supply chain and labor challenges provide growth opportunities as companies look for additional truck capacity and make long-term supply chain outsourcing decisions. In FMS, limited truck availability is driving increased demand and pricing across all service offerings. In SCS and DTS, we're seeing record new contract wins which we fully expect will contribute to long-term profitable growth. Although labor shortages are affecting current results in DTS and SCS, we are encouraged by our early progress in implementing related price adjustments while delivering superior service. We also continue to work closely with our SCS automotive customers to mitigate the impact from their supply chain disruptions. We believe these actions position us well for improved returns in 2022.

"Our planned acquisition of Midwest adds multi-client warehouse operations to our portfolio of service offerings and is consistent with our strategy to accelerate SCS growth. We have also announced the authorization of anti-dilutive and discretionary share repurchase programs. Use of the new discretionary program is anticipated to occur over time, dependent on several factors including balance sheet leverage, the availability of quality acquisitions and stock price. With balance sheet leverage currently well below our target range, we have additional capacity to enhance shareholder value by deploying capital consistent with our disciplined capital allocation strategy.

"We now anticipate achieving ROE of 18% - 19% in 2021 while generating free cash flow of $1.0 billion - $1.1 billion. Higher ROE reflects actions we've taken to increase returns as well as a strong freight environment, which have resulted in improved performance in used vehicle sales, rental, and lease. Strong expected free cash flow reflects our disciplined capital allocation strategy, cash flow benefits from OEM delivery delays, and record proceeds from used vehicles sold.

"Looking toward the longer-term, we remain focused on initiatives to leverage disruptive trends in our industry and drive new sources of growth. For example, we recently announced strategic alliances with several autonomous trucking technology firms which enable us to utilize our expertise in asset management, maintenance, and transportation, positioning us as an innovative leader in this emerging space."

Third Quarter Business Segment Operating Results

Fleet Management Solutions: Higher Earnings Reflect Improved Used Vehicle Sales, Rental, and Lease Results

(In millions)	3Q21		3Q20	Change
Total Revenue	$	1,436	1,297	11%
Operating Revenue (1)	$	1,248	1,153	8%
Earnings Before Tax (EBT) (2)	$	186	16	NM
FMS EBT as a % of FMS total revenue	13.0%		1.2%	NM
FMS EBT as a % of FMS operating revenue (1)	14.9%		1.4%	NM
Rolling 12-months EBT as % of total and operating revenue	3Q21		3Q20	Change
FMS EBT as a % of FMS total revenue	8.5%		(5.4)%	NM
FMS EBT as a % of FMS operating revenue (1)	9.7%		(6.1)%	NM
(1)Non-GAAP financial measure excluding fuel and lease liability insurance revenue. (2) EBT in 3Q21 and 3Q20 included $7M and $100M of depreciation expense, respectively, from the impact of policy and accelerated depreciation and used vehicle sales results due to prior residual values estimate changes and used vehicle sales results. NM - Not Meaningful

FMS total and operating revenue increased primarily due to higher rental revenue driven by strong demand and higher pricing. Total revenue also increased from higher fuel pricing.

3

FMS EBT increased by $170 million from improved used vehicle sales, rental, and lease performance. Higher gains on used vehicles sold and a declining impact of depreciation expense from prior vehicle residual value estimate changes contributed $93 million in higher year-over-year earnings. Used vehicle pricing on trucks and tractors doubled from the prior year, and ending inventory levels declined to 3,500 vehicles, which is below the company's target range of 7,000 - 9,000 vehicles. Rental results benefited from a 9% increase in pricing and record utilization. Rental power fleet utilization increased to 83% (up from 71% in the prior year) on an 8% larger average power fleet. Lease results benefited from higher pricing with revenue per average active vehicle up 4%, partially offset by a 3% smaller average active lease fleet. FMS EBT as a percentage of FMS operating revenue surpassed the company's long-term target of high single-digits. For the trailing 12-month period, FMS EBT as a percent of FMS operating revenue was in line with the target.

Supply Chain Solutions: Earnings from Revenue Growth More Than Offset by Lower Automotive Results, Higher Labor Costs, and Strategic Investments

(In millions)	3Q21		3Q20	Change
Total Revenue	$	802	685	17%
Operating Revenue (1)	$	559	492	14%
Earnings Before Tax (EBT)	$	22	58	(62)%
EBT as a % of total revenue	2.8%		8.4%	(560) bps
EBT as a % of operating revenue (1)	4.0%		11.8%	(780) bps
Rolling 12-months EBT as % of total and operating revenue	3Q21		3Q20	Change
EBT as a % of total revenue	4.3%		6.4%	(210) bps
EBT as a % of operating revenue (1)	6.2%		8.6%	(240) bps
(1) Non-GAAP financial measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation.

SCS total revenue increased due to strong revenue growth in most industry verticals. SCS operating revenue increased due to new business, increased volumes, and higher pricing; however, it was partially offset by the impact from supply chain disruptions on automotive production.

SCS EBT declined primarily due to lower earnings from automotive supply chain disruptions, higher labor costs, and strategic investments, partially offset by earnings from new business. SCS EBT as a percentage of SCS operating revenue is below the company's long-term target of high single-digits for both the current quarter and trailing 12-month period.

Dedicated Transportation Solutions: Earnings from Revenue Growth More Than Offset by Higher Labor and Insurance Costs

(In millions)	3Q21		3Q20	Change
Total Revenue	$	380	300	27%
Operating Revenue (1)	$	272	234	16%
Earnings Before Tax (EBT)	$	11	25	(54)%
EBT as a % of total revenue	3.0%		8.3%	(530) bps
EBT as a % of operating revenue (1)	4.2%		10.6%	(640) bps
Rolling 12-months EBT as % of total and operating revenue	3Q21		3Q20	Change
EBT as a % of total revenue	3.9%		6.0%	(210) bps
EBT as a % of operating revenue (1)	5.3%		8.1%	(280) bps
(1) Non-GAAP financial measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation.

DTS total and operating revenue increased due to new business, higher volumes, and increased pricing. Revenue growth from new business was driven by wins from competitors and private fleet conversions.

DTS EBT decreased primarily due to increased labor and insurance costs, partially offset by earnings from new business. DTS EBT as a percentage of DTS operating revenue is below the company's long-term target of high single-digits for both the current quarter and the rolling 12-month period.

Corporate Financial Information

Unallocated Central Support Services (CSS)

Unallocated CSS costs were $17 million as compared to $8 million in the prior year, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 24.3% as compared to 17.7% in the prior year. The prior-year tax rate was impacted by a reduction in earnings due to depreciation charges.

5

Capital Expenditures, Cash Flow, and Leverage

Year-to-date capital expenditures increased to $1.5 billion in 2021 compared with $765 million in 2020 primarily due to higher planned investments in the rental fleet. The company's full-year 2021 capital expenditures forecast decreased to $1.9 billion - $2.0 billion, reflecting the impact of vehicle delivery delays.

Year-to-date operating cash flowremained at $1.7 billion, reflecting higher earnings, offset by higher working capital needs. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) was $829 million, down from $1.2 billion in 2020 due to an increase in capital expenditures, partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of revenue-earning equipment. The company's full-year 2021 forecast for cash from operating activities remains at approximately $2.2 billion. The forecast for free cash flow increased from $650 million - $750 million to $1.0 billion - $1.1 billion, reflecting cash-flow benefits from OEM vehicle delivery delays of approximately $400 million and higher proceeds from used vehicles sold.

Debt-to-equity as of September 30, 2021 declined to 238% from 293% at year-end 2020 and is below the company's long-term target of 250 - 300%. The decrease in debt-to-equity from year-end 2020 reflects increased earnings and strong free-cash flow.

Note: Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements and information included in this news release are “forward-looking statements” under the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including our forecast, expectations regarding market trends and economic environment; impact of COVID-19 effects, including supply chain and labor shortage challenges, on market conditions, e-commerce trends, freight environment, earnings, depreciation, commercial rental demand and utilization, and used vehicle sales volume and pricing; expected benefits from and timing of our strategic investments and initiatives, including our acquisition of Midwest Warehouse & Distribution System; expected benefits of lease pricing initiatives; implementation of our asset management strategy; performance, including sales and revenue growth, in our product lines and segments; residual values and depreciation expense; used vehicle inventory; rental utilization; free cash flow; operating cash flow; capital expenditures; fleet growth; and profitability of our Ryder Last Mile operations. Our forward-looking statements also include our estimates of the impact of our changes to residual value estimates on earnings and depreciation expense. The expected impact of the change in residual value estimates is based on our current assessment of the residual values and useful lives of revenue-earning equipment based on multi-year trends and our outlook for the expected near- and long-term used vehicle market. Our assessment is subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results related to vehicle residual values to materially differ from estimates include changes in supply and demand, competitor pricing, regulatory requirements, driver shortages, changes in customer requirements and preferences, as well as changes in underlying assumption factors.

All of our forward-looking statements should be evaluated by considering the many risks and uncertainties inherent in our business that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic; our ability to adapt to changing market conditions, lower than expected contractual sales, decreases in commercial rental demand or utilization or poor acceptance of rental pricing, declining market demand for or excess supply of used vehicles impacting current or estimated pricing and our anticipated proportion of retail versus wholesale sales; declining customer demand for our services; higher than expected maintenance costs; lower than expected benefits from our cost-savings initiatives; lower than expected benefits from our sales, marketing and new product initiatives; higher than expected costs related to our ERP implementation; setbacks in the economic market or in our ability to retain profitable customer accounts; impact of changing laws and regulations; difficulty in obtaining adequate profit margins for our services; inability to maintain current pricing levels due to soft economic conditions, business interruptions or expenditures due to labor disputes, severe weather or natural occurrences; competition from other service providers and new entrants; driver and technician shortages resulting in higher procurement costs and turnover rates; impact of worldwide semiconductor shortage, higher than expected bad debt reserves or write-offs; decrease in credit ratings; increased debt costs; adequacy of accounting estimates; higher than expected reserves and accruals particularly with respect to pension, taxes, insurance and revenue; impact of changes in our residual value estimates and accounting policies, including our depreciation policy; unanticipated changes in fuel prices; unanticipated currency exchange rate fluctuations; our ability to manage our cost structure; and the risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The risks included here are not exhaustive. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risks on our business. Accordingly, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

APPENDIX - NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE RECONCILIATIONS - UNAUDITED

Set forth in the table below is an overview of each non-GAAP financial measure and why management believes that presentation of each non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors. See reconciliations for each of these measures following this table.

Operating Revenue Measures:

Operating Revenue FMS Operating Revenue SCS Operating Revenue DTS Operating Revenue FMS EBT as a % of FMS Operating Revenue SCS EBT as a % of SCS Operating Revenue DTS EBT as a % of DTS Operating Revenue

Operating revenue is defined as total revenue for Ryder System, Inc. or each business segment (FMS, SCS and DTS) excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation, as well as (3) revenue from our ChoiceLease liability insurance program which was discontinued in early 2020. We believe operating revenue provides useful information to investors as we use it to evaluate the operating performance of our core businesses and as a measure of sales activity at the consolidated level for Ryder System, Inc., as well as for each of our business segments. We also use segment EBT as a percentage of segment operating revenue for each business segment for the same reason. Note: FMS EBT, SCS EBT and DTS EBT, our primary measures of segment performance, are not non-GAAP measures. Fuel: We exclude FMS, SCS and DTS fuel from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as fuel is an ancillary service that we provide our customers, which is impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices and the costs are largely a pass-through to our customers, resulting in minimal changes in our profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time, as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on current market fuel costs. Subcontracted transportation: We exclude subcontracted transportation from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as these services are also typically a pass-through to our customers and, therefore, fluctuations result in minimal changes to our profitability. While our SCS and DTS business segments subcontract certain transportation services to third party providers, our FMS business segment does not engage in subcontracted transportation and, therefore, this item is not applicable to FMS. ChoiceLease liability insurance: We exclude ChoiceLease liability insurance as we announced our plan in the first quarter of 2020 to exit the extension of our liability insurance coverage for ChoiceLease customers. The exit of this program was completed in the first quarter of 2021. We are excluding the revenues associated with this program for better comparability of our on-going operations.

17

Comparable Earnings Measures:
Comparable Earnings (Loss) before Income Taxes (EBT) Comparable Earnings (Loss) Comparable Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Common Share (EPS) Adjusted Return on Equity (ROE)	Comparable EBT, comparable earnings and comparable EPS are defined, respectively, as GAAP EBT, earnings and EPS, all from continuing operations, excluding (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) any other significant items that are not representative of our business operations. We believe these comparable earnings measures provide useful information to investors and allow for better year-over-year comparison of operating performance. Non-operating pension costs, net: Our comparable earnings measures exclude non-operating pension costs, which include the amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement benefit costs, as well as any significant charges for settlements or curtailments if recognized. We exclude non-operating pension costs, net because we consider these to be impacted by financial market performance and outside the operational performance of our business. Other Items Impacting Comparability: Our comparable and adjusted earnings measures also exclude other significant items that are not representative of our business operations as detailed in the reconciliation table below. These other significant items vary from period to period and, in some periods, there may be no such significant items. Adjusted ROE is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by adjusted average shareholders' equity and represents the rate of return on shareholders' investment. Other items impacting comparability described above are excluded, as applicable, from the calculation of net earnings and average shareholders' equity. We use adjusted ROE as an internal measure of how effectively we use the owned capital invested in our operations.
Comparable Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)	Comparable EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss), first adjusted to exclude discontinued operations and the following items, all from continuing operations: (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) any other items that are not representative of our business operations (these items are the same items that are excluded from comparable earnings measures for the relevant periods as described immediately above) and then adjusted further for (1) interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation, (4) used vehicle sales results and (5) amortization. We believe comparable EBITDA provides investors with useful information, as it is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to measure financial performance and our ability to service debt and meet our payment obligations. In addition, we believe that the inclusion of comparable EBITDA provides consistency in financial reporting and enables analysts and investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. Other companies may calculate comparable EBITDA differently; therefore, our presentation of comparable EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Comparable EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss), earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes or earnings (loss) from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity.

18

Cash Flow Measures:

Total Cash Generated Free Cash Flow

We consider total cash generated and free cash flow to be important measures of comparative operating performance, as our principal sources of operating liquidity are cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment. Total Cash Generated is defined as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment, (3) net cash provided by the sale of operating property and equipment and (4) other cash inflows from investing activities. We believe total cash generated is an important measure of total cash flows generated from our ongoing business activities. Free Cash Flow is defined as the net amount of cash generated from operating activities and investing activities (excluding acquisitions) from continuing operations. We calculate free cash flow as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, and (3) other cash inflows from investing activities, less (4) purchases of property and revenue earning equipment. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and for shareholders, after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. Our calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. * See Total Cash Generated and Free Cash Flow reconciliations in the Financial Resources and Liquidity section of Management's Discussion and Analysis.
