NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(A) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. and all entities in which Ryder System, Inc. has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”) and variable interest entities (“VIE”) required to be consolidated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K except for the accounting change noted below relating to share-based compensation, and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. These statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (primarily consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
(B) ACCOUNTING CHANGE
     At June 30, 2006, we had two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note (C) “Share-Based Compensation Plans.” Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for those plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Prior to January 1, 2006, share-based compensation was recognized only for grants of nonvested stock (restricted stock) and share-based compensation expense was not recognized for employee stock options and stock purchase plans. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation expense was recognized beginning January 1, 2006 and includes (a) compensation expense for all share-based employee compensation arrangements granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation expense for all share-based employee compensation arrangements granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
     As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, earnings before income taxes and net earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $2.4 million and $5.0 million lower, respectively, and $1.7 million and $3.6 million lower, respectively, than if we had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25. Both basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $0.03 and $0.06 lower, respectively, than if we had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25.
     Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123R requires the cash flows from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation expense recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. As a result, we classified $6.9 million as cash flows from financing activities rather than cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

     The following table illustrates the effect on 2005 net earnings and earnings per diluted common share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to options granted under our share-based employee compensation plans. For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the options was estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model and amortized to expense over the options’ vesting periods.

The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from share-based employee compensation arrangements totaled $7.0 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $11.0 million and $3.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
     Stock Option Plans
     Ryder sponsors various stock option and incentive plans that are shareholder-approved and permit the grant of share options and shares to our employees for up to 5 million shares of common stock. Option awards are granted to employees for purchase of common stock at prices equal to the market price of Ryder’s stock at the time of grant. Options granted under all plans generally vest one-third each year based on three years of service and have no more than 10-year contractual terms. Key employee plans also provide for the issuance of nonvested stock (restricted stock) or stock units at no cost to the employee. Certain nonvested stock granted in 2006 was subject to a three-year market vesting condition in addition to the general service condition. The market condition provides that Ryder’s total shareholder return (TSR) as a percentage of the S&P 500 comparable period TSR is 100% or greater over a three-year period.

     Share-Based Compensation Fair Value Assumptions
     The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model that uses the weighted-average assumptions noted in the table below. The fair value of the stock option awards, which are subject to graded vesting, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting life of the stock options. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of Ryder’s stock and implied volatility from traded options on Ryder’s stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the stock option award is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the stock option award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option award. We use historical data to estimate stock option exercises and forfeitures within the valuation model. The expected term of stock option awards granted is derived from historical exercise experience under the share-based employee compensation arrangements and represents the period of time that stock option awards granted are expected to be outstanding.

     The fair value of the awards of nonvested stock during 2006 that contained a market condition was estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation.
(D) EARNINGS PER SHARE INFORMATION
     Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Nonvested stock (restricted stock) granted to employees and directors are not included in the computation of basic earnings per common share until the securities vest. Diluted earnings per common share reflect the dilutive effect of potential common shares from securities such as stock options and nonvested stock. The dilutive effect of stock options and nonvested stock is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes any proceeds that could be obtained upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period. A reconciliation of the number of shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per common share follows:

(H) INCOME TAXES
     Tax Law Changes
     On June 22, 2006, Canada enacted various tax measures in connection with the 2006 federal budget process. These measures contained various corporate tax changes, including the gradual reduction of the general corporate tax rate beginning in 2008, the elimination of the 4% surtax as of January 1, 2008, and the elimination of the Large Corporations Tax as of January 1, 2006. The impact of the above mentioned measures resulted in a favorable adjustment to deferred income taxes. This non-cash benefit increased reported net earnings in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 by $3.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted common share.
     On May 18, 2006, the State of Texas enacted substantial changes to its tax system, which included the replacement of the taxable capital and earned surplus components of its franchise tax with a new “Margin tax” beginning in 2007. The current Texas franchise tax structure remains in existence until the end of 2006. As a result of the enactment of the “Margin Tax,” existing deferred income taxes not expected to be used in the computation of taxes in years after 2006 must be adjusted. This non-cash benefit increased reported net earnings in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 by $2.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share.
     On June 30, 2005, the State of Ohio enacted tax legislation, which phases out the Ohio corporate franchise tax and phases in a new gross receipts tax called the Commercial Activity Tax (CAT) over a five-year period. While the corporate franchise tax was generally based on federal taxable income, the CAT is based on current year sales and rentals in Ohio. The elimination of Ohio’s corporate franchise tax over the next five years resulted in a favorable adjustment to deferred income taxes. This non-cash benefit increased reported net earnings in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 by $7.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share.
     Federal Tax Audits
     We are subject to tax audits in numerous jurisdictions in the U.S. and around the world. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has now closed audits of our U.S. federal income tax returns through fiscal year 2000. As previously disclosed, the IRS challenged our tax positions with respect to certain transactions for the 1998 to 2000 tax period. In connection with the resolution of our federal income tax audit for the 1998 to 2000 tax period, on February 22, 2005, we paid $176 million, including interest through the date of payment.
     In 2005, the IRS began auditing our federal income tax returns for 2001 through 2003. We believe that Ryder has not entered into any other transactions since 2000 that raise the same type of issues identified by the IRS in its most recently concluded audit.
     Like-Kind Exchange Program
     We are currently implementing a like-kind exchange program for our vehicles, whereby tax gains on disposal of eligible revenue earning equipment may be deferred. As part of the program, the proceeds from the sale of eligible revenue earning equipment are restricted for the acquisition of revenue earning equipment and other specified uses as defined under the program. At June 30, 2006, restricted cash related to the like-kind exchange program totaled $41.7 million. The restricted cash balance will be utilized in future quarters for purchases. The restricted cash has been classified within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets.”

(1)   Ryder had unamortized original issue discounts of $14.9 million at June 30, 2006 and $15.3 million at December 31, 2005.
 
(2)   Asset-backed securities represent outstanding debt of consolidated VIEs. Asset-backed securities are collateralized by cash reserve deposits and revenue earning equipment of consolidated VIEs totaling $66.2 million and $96.6 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
 
(3)   The notional amount of executed interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $145.0 million at June 30, 2006 and $185.0 million at December 31, 2005.
     Ryder can borrow up to $870 million through a global revolving credit facility with a syndicate of twelve lenders. The credit facility matures in May 2010 and is used primarily to finance working capital and provide support for the issuance of commercial paper. This facility can also be used to issue up to $75 million in letters of credit (there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility at June 30, 2006). At Ryder’s option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on LIBOR, prime, federal funds or local equivalent rates. The credit facility’s current annual facility fee is 11.0 basis points, which applies to the total facility of $870 million, and is based on Ryder’s current credit ratings. The credit facility contains no provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to Ryder’s business operations; however, the credit facility does contain standard representations and warranties, events of default, cross-default provisions, and certain affirmative and negative covenants. In order to maintain availability of funding, Ryder must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated tangible net worth, as defined in the agreement, of less than or equal to 300%. The ratio at June 30, 2006 was 137%. At June 30, 2006, $312.6 million was available under the credit facility.
     In May 2006, we issued $250 million of unsecured medium-term notes, maturing in May 2011. The proceeds from the notes were used to reduce commercial paper borrowings. At June 30, 2006, Ryder had $550 million of securities available for issuance under an $800 million universal shelf registration statement filed with the SEC during 2005.

(J) GUARANTEES
     Ryder has executed various agreements with third parties that contain standard indemnifications that may require Ryder to indemnify a third party against losses arising from a variety of matters such as lease obligations, financing agreements, environmental matters and agreements to sell business assets. In each of these instances, payment by Ryder is contingent on the other party bringing about a claim under the procedures outlined in the specific agreement. Normally, these procedures allow Ryder to dispute the other party’s claim. Additionally, Ryder’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of the amount and (or) timing of any claim. We cannot predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under certain of these agreements due to the contingent nature of the potential obligations and the distinctive provisions that are involved in each individual agreement. Historically, no such payments made by Ryder have had a material adverse effect on our business. We believe that if a loss were incurred in any of these matters, the loss would not result in a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
     At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the maximum determinable exposure of guarantees and the corresponding liability, if any, recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets were as follows:

(1)   Amounts exclude contingent rentals associated with residual value guarantees on certain vehicles held under operating leases for which the guarantees are conditioned upon disposal of the leased vehicles prior to the end of their lease term. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, Ryder’s maximum exposure for such guarantees was approximately $130.4 million and $161.2 million, respectively, with $3.0 million and $5.3 million recorded as a liability at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
     At June 30, 2006, Ryder had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding totaling $211.8 million and $53.3 million, respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims. Certain of these letters of credit and surety bonds guarantee insurance activities associated with insurance claim liabilities transferred in conjunction with the sale of our automotive transport business, reported as discontinued operations in previous years. The entity that assumed these liabilities filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on July 31, 2005. To date, the insurance claims, representing per-claim deductibles payable under third-party insurance policies, have been paid and continue to be paid by the company that assumed such liabilities. However, if all or a portion of the estimated outstanding assumed claims of approximately $6.9 million at June 30, 2006 are unable to be paid, the third-party insurers may have recourse against certain of the outstanding letters of credit provided by Ryder in order to satisfy the unpaid claim deductibles. In order to reduce our potential exposure to these claims, we have received an irrevocable letter of credit from the purchaser of the business referred to above totaling $7.5 million at June 30, 2006. Periodically, an independent actuarial valuation will be made in order to better estimate the amount of outstanding insurance claim liabilities.

(K) SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
     In May 2006, our Board of Directors authorized a two-year share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our various employee stock option and stock purchase plans. Under the May 2006 program, management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued to employees under the various employee stock option and employee stock purchase plans since March 1, 2006, which totaled approximately 1.3 million shares at June 30, 2006. The May 2006 program limits aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. Share repurchases will be made periodically in open-market transactions, and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management was granted the authority to establish a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the May 2006 program.
     In October 2005, our Board of Directors authorized a $175 million share repurchase program over a period not to exceed two years. Share repurchases of common stock were made periodically in open-market transactions and were subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. During the first quarter of 2006, we completed the October 2005 program. Management established a prearranged written plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the October 2005 program, which allowed for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. In 2006, we repurchased and retired approximately 1.6 million shares under the October 2005 program at an aggregate cost of $65.8 million. We repurchased and retired an aggregate of approximately 4.2 million shares under the program.
     In July 2004, our Board of Directors authorized a two-year share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our various employee stock option and stock purchase plans. Under the July 2004 program, shares of common stock were purchased in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued to employees upon the exercise of stock options or through the employee stock purchase plan since May 1, 2004. The July 2004 program limited aggregate share repurchases to no more than 3.5 million shares of Ryder common stock. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we replaced the July 2004 program with the October 2005 program noted previously. Management was granted the authority to establish a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 as part of the July 2004 program. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we repurchased and retired a total of approximately 0.7 million shares under the program at an aggregate cost of $32.4 million.

(N) SEGMENT REPORTING
     Ryder’s operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products, services and delivery methods. Ryder operates in three reportable business segments: (1) Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides full service leasing, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and commercial rental of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers, principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides comprehensive supply chain consulting and lead logistics management solutions that support customers’ entire supply chains from inbound raw materials through distribution of finished goods throughout North America and in Latin America, Europe and Asia; and (3) Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC), which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in North America.
     Ryder’s primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as “Net Before Taxes” (NBT), includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes restructuring and other recoveries, net. CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services, health and safety, information technology, legal and communications. The objective of the NBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment and each operating segment within each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included among the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, corporate communications, public affairs and certain executive compensation. CSS costs attributable to the business segments are predominantly allocated to FMS, SCS and DCC as follows:
Finance, corporate services, and health and safety — allocated based upon estimated and planned resource utilization;
Human resources — individual costs within this category are allocated in several ways, including allocation based on estimated utilization and number of personnel supported;
Information technology — allocated principally based upon utilization-related metrics such as number of users or minutes of CPU time. Customer-related project costs and expenses are allocated to the business segment responsible for the project; and
Other — represents legal and other centralized costs and expenses including certain share-based and incentive compensation costs. Expenses, where allocated, are based primarily on the number of personnel supported.
     Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment and provides fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to our SCS and DCC segments. Inter-segment revenue and NBT are accounted for at approximate fair value as if the transactions were made with third parties. NBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to customers (equipment contribution) is included in both FMS and the business segment which served the customer and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations”).

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(unaudited)
(O) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation requires that we recognize in our consolidated financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005
OVERVIEW
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto included under Item 1. In addition, reference should be made to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
     Our business is divided into three segments: our Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment provides full service leasing, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and commercial rental of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; our Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business segment provides comprehensive supply chain consulting and lead logistics management solutions that support customers’ entire supply chains from inbound raw materials through distribution of finished goods throughout North America and in Latin America, Europe and Asia; and our Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) business segment provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in North America. We operate in extremely competitive markets. Our customers select us based on numerous factors including service quality, price, technology and service offerings. As an alternative to using our services, customers may also choose to provide these services for themselves, or may choose to obtain similar or alternative services from other third-party vendors. Our customer base includes enterprises operating in a variety of industries including automotive, electronics, high-tech, telecommunications, industrial, consumer goods, paper and paper products, office equipment, food and beverage, general retail industries and governments.
ITEMS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY BETWEEN PERIODS
     Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based employee compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Prior to January 1, 2006, share-based compensation was recognized only for grants of nonvested stock (restricted stock) and share-based compensation expense was not recognized for employee stock options and stock purchase plans. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation was recognized beginning January 1, 2006 and includes (a) compensation expense for all share-based employee compensation arrangements granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation expense for all share-based employee compensation arrangements granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
     The amount of and allocation of pre-tax share-based compensation expense across business segments was as follows:

Total
  $ 3,205       833     $ 6,388       1,591  
 
                               
     At June 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation expense from stock options and nonvested shares totaled $21.4 million and the expense is expected to be recognized over the next 3.7 years.
     The calculation of share-based employee compensation expense involves estimates that require management’s judgment. These estimates include the fair value of each of our stock option awards, which is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model as discussed in Note (C), “Share-Based Compensation Plans,” in Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The determination of the fair value of share-based employee compensation awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R,

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
expected volatility was determined based solely on historical volatility. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we estimate expected volatility based on both historical and implied volatility. In 2006, we added a market vesting condition to the terms of our share-based employee compensation plan related to the grant of nonvested stock, in addition to the service condition. The market condition provided that shares of nonvested stock are subject to vest only if Ryder’s total shareholder return (TSR) as a percentage of the S&P 500 comparable period TSR is 100% or greater, over a three-year period. These grants have been valued using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation.

     Earnings before income taxes increased $14.0 million to $104.6 million in the second quarter of 2006 and increased $26.0 million to $183.8 million in the first half of 2006, compared with the same periods in 2005. The improved results were driven by better operating performance and continuing leverage from revenue growth in all business segments. See “Operating Results by Business Segment” for a further discussion of operating results. Earnings in the first half of 2006 included a one-time recovery in the first quarter of $1.9 million (pre-tax), or $0.02 per diluted common share, associated with the recognition of common stock received from mutual insurance companies in a prior year. Additionally, earnings for the first half of 2005 benefited from the one-time recovery in the first quarter of $2.6 million (pre-tax), or $0.02 per diluted common share, for project costs incurred in prior years.
     Net earnings increased $7.0 million to $70.3 million in the second quarter of 2006 and increased $13.1 million to $117.9 million in the first half of 2006, compared with the same periods in 2005. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2006, included an income tax benefit of $6.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted common share associated with the reduction of deferred income taxes due to enacted changes in Texas and Canadian tax laws. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2005, included a state income tax benefit of $7.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share associated with the reduction of deferred income taxes due to the expected phase-out of income taxes for the State of Ohio. Earnings per share growth exceeded the earnings growth over the prior periods because the average number of shares outstanding has decreased during the past year reflecting the impact of stock repurchase programs.

(1)   We use operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of our businesses and as a measure of sales activity. FMS fuel services revenue net of related intersegment billings, which is directly impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices, is excluded from the operating revenue computation as fuel is largely a pass-through to our customers for which we realize minimal changes in profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. Subcontracted transportation revenue in our SCS and DCC business segments are excluded from the operating revenue computation as subcontracted transportation is largely a pass-through to our customers and we realize minimal changes in profitability as a result of fluctuations in subcontracted transportation.
     All business segments reported revenue growth in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005. Revenue growth for FMS was driven by higher fuel services revenue, primarily as a result of higher average fuel prices, and full service lease contract growth. SCS revenue growth was primarily related to increased volume of managed subcontracted transportation, as well as higher volumes and new and expanded business in all industry groups. DCC revenue growth was due to pricing increases associated with higher fuel costs as well as expanded and new business. Revenue comparisons were also impacted by favorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates related to our international operations. Total revenue in the second quarter and first half of 2006 included a favorable foreign exchange impact of 1% in both periods, due primarily to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar and the Brazilian real.

     Operating expense increased in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005 principally as a result of higher average fuel prices. Fuel costs are largely a pass-through to customers for which we realize minimal changes in profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. The growth in revenue, excluding fuel, also contributed to the increase in operating expenses.

Additionally, on January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R and recognized $2.4 million and $5.0 million of additional share-based compensation expense in the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively. See Note (C), “Share-Based Compensation Plans,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information. Pension expense also increased $1.7 million and $4.3 million in the second quarter and first half of 2006,

respectively, compared with the same periods in 2005. Pension expense increases primarily impacted our FMS business segment, which employs the majority of our employees that participate in the primary U.S. pension plan.

     Subcontracted transportation expense represents freight management costs on logistics contracts for which we purchase transportation from third parties. Subcontracted transportation expense in our SCS business segment grew in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005, as a result of increased volumes of freight management activity from new and expanded business and higher average pricing on subcontracted freight costs, resulting from increased fuel costs.

     Depreciation expense relates primarily to FMS revenue earning equipment. Depreciation expense decreased in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005, reflecting the impact of the adjustments made to residual values and useful lives as part of the annual review, which were implemented January 1, 2006, and a lower average fleet count. These changes offset the impact of a higher average vehicle investment on purchases over the past year.
     Gains on vehicle sales, net increased in the second quarter of 2006 compared with the same period in 2005 due to improved average pricing on vehicles sold, which more than offset the decline in the number of vehicles sold.
     Equipment rental consists primarily of rent expense for FMS revenue earning equipment under lease. The decrease in equipment rental in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005 was due to a reduction in the average number of leased vehicles.

     Interest expense grew in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005, primarily reflecting higher average debt levels, resulting from capital spending required to support our contractual full service lease business. The increase in interest expense in the second quarter of 2006 compared with the same period in 2005 also reflects the impact of higher effective interest rates.

     Miscellaneous income, net consists of investment income on securities used to fund certain benefit plans, interest income, gains (losses) from sales of properties, and other non-operating items. Miscellaneous income, net decreased in the second quarter of 2006 due to a $1.3 million charge related to the settlement of litigation associated with a discontinued operation. Miscellaneous income, net during the first half of 2006 increased due to higher property gains and better market performance of investments classified as trading securities, as well as a one-time recovery in the first quarter of 2006 of $1.9 million for the recognition of common stock received from mutual insurance companies. Miscellaneous income, net in the first half of 2005 benefited from the one-time recovery in the first quarter of $2.6 million of project costs incurred in prior years.

     During the second quarter of 2006, Canada and the State of Texas enacted various tax measures which resulted in favorable adjustments to deferred income taxes of $6.8 million. See Note (H), “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, for a complete discussion of these items. In the first quarter of 2006, the effective income tax rate was also impacted by the true-up of non-deductible tax estimates to the 2005 tax return, which resulted in additional taxes of $0.7 million. These adjustments lowered our effective income tax rate in the first six months of 2006 by 3.3%.
     In June 2005, the State of Ohio enacted a tax measure phasing out its corporate franchise and phasing in a new gross receipts tax resulting in a favorable adjustment to deferred income taxes of $7.6 million. This benefit lowered our effective income tax rate in 2005 by 4.8%. Excluding the impact of these benefits in both periods, our effective income tax rate increased due to higher non-deductible items and an increase in earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions.

     We define the primary measurement of our segment financial performance as “Net Before Taxes” (NBT), which includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes restructuring and other recoveries, net. CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services, shared management information systems, health and safety, legal and corporate communications. The objective of the NBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment and each operating segment within each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
     Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included within the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, corporate communications, public affairs and certain executive compensation. See Note (N), “Segment Reporting,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a description of how the remainder of CSS costs is allocated to the business segments.
     Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment and provides fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to our SCS and DCC segments. Inter-segment revenue and NBT are accounted for at approximate fair value as if the transactions were made with third parties. NBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to customers (equipment contribution) are included in both FMS and the business segment which served the customer and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations”).
     The following table sets forth equipment contribution included in NBT for our SCS and DCC segments:

(1)   We use operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of our FMS business segment and as a measure of sales activity. Fuel services revenue, which is directly impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices, is excluded from our operating revenue computation as fuel is largely a pass-through to customers for which we realize minimal changes in profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by sudden increases or decreases in market fuel prices during a short period of time as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on market fuel costs.
     Total revenue grew during 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005 reflecting higher fuel services revenue as a result of higher average fuel prices. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel) increased in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005 due to full service lease revenue growth in North America.
     Full service lease revenue grew in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005 due to higher levels of new sales activity in North America since the second half of 2005. We expect favorable lease revenue comparisons to continue in the near term due to increased sales activity and improved business retention. Contract maintenance and contract-related maintenance revenue decreased in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005, due primarily to the non-renewal of customer contracts in the U.K. Commercial rental revenue decreased in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005 reflecting a smaller average fleet, which was partially offset by higher pricing. We expect commercial rental revenue comparisons to improve in the near term based on an expected larger average fleet.

     FMS NBT grew in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005 primarily as a result of improved North American full service lease performance, and lower maintenance and depreciation costs. The NBT growth in the second quarter of 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005 was also favorably impacted by improved used vehicle sales from higher average pricing, as well as lower carrying costs from reduced used truck inventory levels. These improvements were offset partially by higher interest expense due primarily to planned higher debt levels to support contractual revenue growth, higher compensation-related expenses in North America, as well as lower margins in our U.K. operations. Results for the first half of 2005 benefited from the one-time recovery in the first quarter of $1.9 million for project costs incurred in prior years.

(1)   Non-revenue earning equipment for FMS operations outside the U.S. totaled approximately 1,400 vehicles at June 30, 2006, 1,500 vehicles at December 31, 2005 and 1,800 vehicles at June 30, 2005, which are not included above.
     NYE units represent new vehicles on hand that are being prepared for deployment to lease customers or into the rental fleet. Preparations include activities such as adding lift gates, paint, decals, cargo area and refrigeration equipment. The number of NYE units increased consistent with volume of lease activity. NLE units represent vehicles held for sale, as well as vehicles for which no revenue has been earned in the previous 30 days. These vehicles may be temporarily out of service, being prepared for sale or awaiting redeployment. In 2006, the average number of NLE units decreased due to lower levels of used vehicles held for sale and process improvement actions in field operations. We expect the number of NLE units to increase in the second half of the year based on the expected growth in lease replacement activity.

(1)   We use operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of our SCS business segment and as a measure of sales activity. Subcontracted transportation expense is deducted from total revenue to arrive at our operating revenue computation as subcontracted transportation expense is largely a pass-through to customers. We realize minimal changes in profitability as a result of fluctuations in subcontracted transportation.
     Total revenue grew in 2006 compared with the same period in 2005 due primarily to increased volume of managed subcontracted transportation, as well as to higher volumes and new and expanded business in all industry groups. Our largest customer, General Motors Corporation, accounted for approximately 40% and 18% of SCS total revenue and operating revenue for the first half of 2006, respectively, and is comprised of multiple contracts in various geographic regions. For the first half of 2005, General Motors Corporation accounted for approximately 29% and 18% of SCS total revenue and operating revenue, respectively. In 2006, total revenue and operating revenue included a favorable foreign currency exchange impact of 1.9% and 1.3%, respectively. We expect revenue improvements to continue over the near term.
     In transportation management arrangements where we act as principal, revenue is reported on a gross basis for subcontracted transportation services billed to our customers. As a result of entering into a management subcontracted transportation contract in 2005, under which we have determined we are acting as principal, the amount of managed subcontracted transportation expense and corresponding revenue has increased significantly during the past twelve months. We realize minimal changes in profitability as a result of fluctuations in subcontracted transportation. Determining whether revenue should be reported as gross or net is based on an assessment of whether we are acting as the principal or the agent in the transaction and involves judgment based on the terms and conditions of the arrangement. From time to time, the terms and conditions of our transportation management arrangements may change, which could require a change in revenue recognition from a gross basis to a net basis or vice versa. Our measure of operating revenue would not be impacted by a change in revenue reporting.
     The significant improvement in SCS NBT in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005, reflects the impact of higher volumes, including the impact of reduced automotive plant shutdowns, and new and expanded business in all U.S. industry groups in 2006 and better margins in our Brazil operations. SCS NBT for the second quarter of 2006 also included a $2.5 million benefit (0.9% of operating revenue in the second quarter), net of variable compensation, related to a contract termination. SCS NBT in 2005 benefited from the one-time recovery of $0.7 million for project costs incurred in prior years.

     DCC total revenue and operating revenue grew in 2006 compared with the same periods in 2005 as a result of pricing increases associated with higher fuel costs as well as expanded and new business. We expect favorable revenue comparisons to continue in the short term due to the impact of pricing increases associated with higher fuel costs as well as expanded business activity. DCC NBT in 2006 was positively impacted by new and expanded business. DCC NBT for the first half of 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005 also benefited from lower safety costs in the first quarter of 2006.

     Total CSS costs in the second quarter of 2006 were flat compared with the same period in 2005 as lower information technology and corporate services were offset by a charge of $1.3 million to settle litigation associated with a discontinued operation and higher share-based compensation from expensing stock options and incentive compensation. Lower information technology spending was a result of ongoing cost containment initiatives and increased utilization of technology resources from growth in our SCS operations. First half results in 2006 also benefited from the one-time recovery of $1.9 million associated with the recognition of common stock received from mutual insurance companies in a prior year. Unallocated CSS expenses for the second quarter and first half of 2006 were up compared with the same periods in 2005 largely due to share-based compensation and the previously mentioned legal settlement. The increase in unallocated CSS expenses for the first half of 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005 was offset partially by the common stock recovery.

     A detail of the individual items contributing to the cash flow changes is included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.
     Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $298.3 million in the first half of 2006 compared with $164.8 million in 2005, due primarily to lower income tax payments and offset partially by increased pension contributions. In 2005, net cash provided by operating activities was impacted by U.S. federal income tax payments of $176.0 million made in connection with the resolution of our federal income tax audit for the 1998 to 2000 tax period. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first half of 2006 was $259.7 million compared with cash provided of $408.8 million in 2005. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first half of 2005 was impacted by higher debt borrowings used to fund federal income tax payments. Net cash used in investing activities increased to $606.3 million in the first half of 2006 compared with $585.6 million in 2005, due to an increase in restricted cash associated with the implementation of a vehicle like-kind exchange tax program in 2006.
     We manage our business to maximize operating cash flows and proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment as the principal sources of liquidity. We refer to the net amount of cash generated from operating and investing activities (excluding changes in restricted cash) as “free cash flow.” Although free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure, we consider it to be an important measure of comparative operating performance. 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.
     The following table shows the sources of our free cash flow computation:

     The increase in free cash flow to negative $266.9 million for the first half of 2006 compared with the same period in 2005 was driven by lower income tax payments, offset partially by increased pension contributions and working capital growth. We expect free cash flow to decrease over the balance of the year due to higher capital spending.

(1)   Capital expenditures exclude acquisitions of revenue earning equipment under capital leases of $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
     Capital expenditures were essentially flat for the first half of 2006 compared with 2005 as lower planned spending for commercial rental vehicles was offset by increased lease vehicle spending for replacement and expansion of customer fleets. We are now anticipating full-year 2006 capital expenditures to be approximately $1.8 billion, up from $1.4 billion in 2005. The current capital expenditures forecast reflects an increase of $200 million from plan, due primarily to higher than expected new sales activity within the full service lease product line.
Financing and Other Funding Transactions
     We utilize external capital to support growth in our asset-based product lines. The variety of financing alternatives available to fund our capital needs include long-term and medium-term public and private debt, asset-backed securities, bank term loans, leasing arrangements, bank credit facilities and commercial paper.

     In accordance with our funding philosophy, we attempt to match the average remaining repricing life of our debt with the average remaining life of our assets. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to achieve this match and generally target a mix of 25 — 45% variable-rate debt. The variable-rate portion of our total obligations (including notional value of swap agreements) was 32% at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

     Ryder’s leverage ratios and a reconciliation of balance sheet debt to total obligations were as follows:

Total obligations
  $ 2,577,906       156 %   $ 2,302,428       151 %
 
                               
 
(1)   Present value (PV) does not reflect payments Ryder would be required to make if we terminated the related leases prior to the scheduled expiration dates.
     Debt to equity consists of balance sheet debt for the period divided by total equity. Total obligations to equity represents balance sheet debt plus the present value of minimum lease payments and guaranteed residual values under operating leases for vehicles, discounted based on our incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, all divided by total equity. Although total obligations is a non-GAAP financial measure, we believe that total obligations is useful as it is a more complete measure of our existing financial obligations and helps better assess our overall leverage position.
     The increase in our leverage ratios in 2006 was driven by increased capital spending required to support our contractual full service lease business. Our long-term target percentage of total obligations to equity is 250% to 300% while maintaining a strong investment grade rating. We believe this leverage range is appropriate for our business due to the liquidity of our vehicle portfolio and because a substantial component of our assets is supported by long-term customer leases.
     Our ability to access unsecured debt in the capital markets is linked to both our short-term and long-term debt ratings. These ratings are intended to provide guidance to investors in determining the credit risk associated with particular Ryder securities based on current information obtained by the rating agencies from us or from other sources that such agencies consider to be reliable. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs as well as reduced access to capital markets. A significant downgrade of Ryder’s debt rating would reduce our ability to issue commercial paper. As a result, we would have to rely on other established funding sources described below.
     Our debt ratings at June 30, 2006 were as follows:
                         
    Short-term   Long-term   Outlook
Moody’s Investors Service
    P2     Baa1   Stable (June 2004)
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
    A2     BBB+   Stable (April 2005)
Fitch Ratings
    F2     A-       Stable (July 2005)
     Ryder can borrow up to $870 million through a global revolving credit facility with a syndicate of twelve lenders. The credit facility matures in May 2010 and is used primarily to finance working capital and provide support for the issuance of commercial paper. This facility can also be used to issue up to $75 million in letters of credit (there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility at June 30, 2006). At Ryder’s option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on LIBOR, prime, federal funds or local equivalent rates. The credit facility’s current annual facility fee is 11.0 basis points, which applies to the total facility of $870 million, and is based on Ryder’s current credit ratings. The credit facility contains no provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to Ryder’s business operations; however, the credit facility does contain standard representations and warranties, events of default, cross-default provisions, and certain affirmative and negative covenants. In order to maintain availability of funding, Ryder must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated tangible net worth, as defined in the agreement, of less than or equal to 300%. The ratio at June 30, 2006 was 137%. At June 30, 2006, $312.6 million was available under the credit facility.
     In May 2006, we issued $250 million of unsecured medium-term notes, maturing in May 2011. The proceeds from the notes were used to reduce commercial paper borrowings. At June 30, 2006, we have $550 million of securities available for issuance under a universal shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission during 2005. Additionally, we have a $200

million trade receivable facility which allows for the sale of certain of domestic trade accounts receivable to a receivables conduit and (or) committed purchasers. At June 30, 2006, no receivables were sold under the facility.
     At June 30, 2006, we had the following amounts available to fund operations under the aforementioned facilities:
         
    (In millions)
 
Global revolving credit facility
  $ 312.6  
Shelf registration statement
    550.0  
Trade receivables facility
    200.0  
     We believe such facilities, along with other funding sources, will be sufficient to fund operations over the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     We periodically enter into sale-leaseback transactions in order to lower the total cost of funding our operations, to diversify our funding among different classes of investors (e.g., regional banks, pension plans and insurance companies) and to diversify our funding among different types of funding instruments. These sale-leaseback transactions are often executed with third-party financial institutions that are not deemed to be variable interest entities. In general, these sale-leaseback transactions result in a reduction in revenue earning equipment and debt on the balance sheet, as proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment are primarily used to repay debt. Accordingly, sale-leaseback transactions will result in reduced depreciation and interest expense and increased equipment rental expense. These leases contain limited guarantees by us of the residual values of the leased vehicles (residual value guarantees) that are conditioned upon disposal of the leased vehicles prior to the end of their lease term. The amount of future payments for residual value guarantees will depend on the market for used vehicles and the condition of the vehicles at time of disposal. See Note (J), “Guarantees,” in Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information. We did not enter into any sale-leaseback transactions that qualified for off-balance sheet treatment during the first half of 2006 or 2005.
Pension Information
     The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of certain market interest rates. We review pension assumptions regularly and we may from time to time make voluntary contributions to our pension plans, which exceed the amounts required by statute. For 2006, we expect to make approximately $71 million in pension contributions for all plans. Changes in interest rates and the market value of the securities held by the plans during 2006 could materially change, positively or negatively, the underfunded status of the plans and affect the level of pension expense and required contributions in 2007 and beyond. See Note (M), “Employee Benefit Plans,” in Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.
Share Repurchases and Cash Dividends
     In May 2006, our Board of Directors authorized a two-year share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our various employee stock option and stock purchase plans. Under the May 2006 program, management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued to employees under the various employee stock option and employee stock purchase plans since March 1, 2006, which totaled approximately 1.3 million shares at June 30, 2006. The May 2006 program limits aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. Share repurchases will be made periodically in open-market transactions, and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management was granted the authority to establish a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the May 2006 program. As of June 30,2006, we had not repurchased any shares under the May 2006 program because of a blackout period resulting from a common stock rescission offer associated with our 401(k) Plan which concluded on July 6, 2006.
     In October 2005, our Board of Directors authorized a $175 million share repurchase program over a period not to exceed two years. Share repurchases of common stock were made periodically in open-market transactions and were subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. During the first quarter of 2006, we completed the October 2005 program. Management established a prearranged written plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the October 2005 program, which allowed for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. In 2006, we repurchased and retired approximately 1.6 million shares under the October 2005 program at an aggregate cost of $65.8 million. We repurchased and retired an aggregate of approximately 4.2 million shares under the program.

     In July 2004, our Board of Directors authorized a two-year share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our various employee stock option and stock purchase plans. Under the July 2004 program, shares of common stock were purchased in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued to employees upon the exercise of stock options or through employee stock purchase plans since May 1, 2004. The July 2004 program limited aggregate share repurchases to no more than 3.5 million shares of Ryder common stock. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we replaced the July 2004 program with the October 2005 program noted previously. Management was granted the authority to establish a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 as part of the July 2004 program. For the first half of 2005, we repurchased and retired a total of approximately 0.7 million shares under the program at an aggregate cost of $32.4 million.
     In February and May 2006, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share of common stock. The dividend reflects a $0.02 increase from the quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 paid in 2005.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation requires that we recognize in our consolidated financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes information extracted from consolidated condensed financial information but not required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be presented in the financial statements. Certain of this information are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by SEC rules. Specifically, we refer to operating revenue, salaries and employee-related costs as a percentage of operating revenue, FMS operating revenue, FMS NBT as a % of operating revenue, SCS operating revenue, SCS NBT as a % of operating revenue, DCC operating revenue, DCC NBT as a % of operating revenue, free cash flow, total obligations and total obligations to equity. 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.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     Forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) are statements that relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends concerning matters that are not historical facts. These statements are often preceded by or include the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” “may,” “could,” “should” or similar expressions. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, statements regarding:
  our expectations as to growth opportunities and anticipated revenue growth;
 
  our belief that we have not entered into any other transactions since 2000 that raise the same type of issues identified by the IRS in their audit of the 1998 to 2000 tax period;
 
  the anticipated deferral of tax gains on disposal of eligible revenue earning equipment pursuant to our vehicle like-kind exchange program;
 
  impact of losses from conditional obligations arising from guarantees;
 
  estimates of capital expenditures for the remainder of the year;
 
  the adequacy of our accounting estimates and accruals for pension expense, depreciation, residual value guarantees, self-insurance, share-based compensation, goodwill impairment, income taxes and revenue;
 
  our ability to fund all of our operations over the next twelve months through internally generated funds and outside funding sources; and
 
  the number of NLE vehicles in inventory over the near term.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
     These statements, as well as other forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, are based on our current plans and expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We caution readers that certain important factors could cause actual results and events to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
  Market Conditions:
  o   Changes in general economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide leading to decreased demand for our services, lower profit margins and increased levels of bad debt
  o   Changes in our customers’ operations, financial condition or business environment that may limit their need for, or ability to purchase, our services
  o   Changes in market conditions affecting the commercial rental market or the sale of used vehicles
  o   Less than anticipated growth rates in the markets in which we operate
  o   Changes in current financial, tax or regulatory requirements that could negatively impact the leasing market
  Competition:
  o   Competition from other service providers, some of which have greater capital resources or lower capital costs
  o   Continued consolidation in the markets in which we operate which may create large competitors with greater financial resources
  o   Competition from vehicle manufacturers in our foreign FMS business operations
  o   Our inability to maintain current pricing levels due to customer acceptance or competition
  Profitability:
  o   Our inability to obtain adequate profit margins for our services
  o   Lower than expected customer volumes or retention levels
  o   Loss of key customers in our SCS business segment
  o   Our inability to adapt our product offerings to meet changing consumer preferences on a cost-effective basis
  o   The inability of our business segments to create operating efficiencies
  o   Availability of heavy-duty and medium-duty vehicles
  o   Sudden changes in fuel prices and fuel shortages
  o   Our inability to successfully implement our asset management initiatives
  o   An increase in the cost of, or shortages in the availability of, qualified drivers
  o   Labor strikes and work stoppages
  o   Our inability to manage our cost structure
  o   Our inability to limit our exposure for customer claims
  Financing Concerns:
  o   Higher borrowing costs and possible decreases in available funding sources caused by an adverse change in our debt ratings
  o   Unanticipated interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations
  o   Negative funding status of our pension plans caused by lower than expected returns on invested assets and unanticipated changes in interest rates
  Accounting Matters:
  o   Impact of unusual items resulting from on-going evaluations of business strategies, asset valuations, acquisitions, divestitures and our organizational structure
  o   Reductions in residual values or useful lives of revenue earning equipment
  o   Increases in compensation levels, retirement rate and mortality resulting in higher pension expense
  o   Increases in healthcare costs resulting in higher insurance costs
  o   Changes in accounting rules, assumptions and accruals
  Other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC filings

     There have been no material changes to Ryder’s exposures to market risk since December 31, 2005. Please refer to the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete discussion of Ryder’s exposures to market risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     As of the end of the second quarter of 2006, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including Ryder’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Ryder’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the second quarter of 2006, Ryder’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
     During the three months ended June 30, 2006, there were no changes in Ryder’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect such internal control over financial reporting.
