Q & A 12

GRAPHIC

13 Note: ArcBest Corporation reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) . H owever, management believes that certain non - GAAP performance measures utilized for internal analysis provides analysts, investors, and others the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance and provides meaningful comp ari sons between current and prior period results, as well as important information regarding performance trends. Accordingly, using t hes e measures improves comparability in analyzing our performance because it removes the impact of items from operating results that, in ma nag ement's opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Non - GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results. These financial measures should not be construed as better measurements than operating income, ope rat ing cash flow, net income or earnings per share, as determined under GAAP.

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non - GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited) 15 1) Adjusted EBITDA is a primary component of the financial covenants contained in ArcBest Corporation’s Amended and Restated Cre dit Agreement. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA to be relevant and useful information, as EBITDA is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors, an d o thers to measure financial performance ability to service debt obligations. Furthermore, management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of performance and for business planning. However, th is non - GAAP measure should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently; therefore, our Adjusted EBITDA ma y not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. 2) Includes amortization of intangibles associated with acquired businesses. 3) Represents change in fair value of the contingent consideration recorded for the MoLo acquisition.
