Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2019

1.        Organization and Operations

U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, and similar expressions) provide transportation services throughout the United States, with a focus in the densely populated and economically diverse eastern half of the United States. The Company offers its customers a broad portfolio of services using its own asset-based truckload fleet and third-party carriers through our non-asset-based truck brokerage network. The Company has two reportable segments, Truckload and Brokerage. Our Truckload segment offers asset-based truckload services, including over-the-road (“OTR”) trucking and dedicated contract services. Our Brokerage segment is principally engaged in non-asset-based freight brokerage services, where loads are contracted to third-party carriers.

Under our Articles of Incorporation, our authorized capital stock consists of 140,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, 35,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 9,333,333 shares of preferred stock, the rights and preferences of which may be designated by the Board of Directors.

 

 

2.        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented, such adjustments being of a normal recurring nature.

Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The December 31, 2018 balance sheet was derived from our audited balance sheet as of that date. The Company’s operating results are subject to seasonal trends when measured on a quarterly basis; therefore operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception and perform an analysis to determine whether the lease is an operating lease or a finance lease. We measure right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments. As most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, we estimate an incremental borrowing rate based on the credit quality of the Company and by comparing interest rates available in the market for similar borrowings, and adjusting this amount based on the impact of collateral over the term of each lease. We use this rate to discount

Page 7

the remaining lease payments in measuring the ROU asset and lease liability. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. We recognize lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For our finance leases, we recognize amortization expense from the amortization of the ROU asset and interest expense on the related lease liability. We do not separate lease and nonlease components of contracts, except for certain leased information technology assets that are embedded within various service agreements. The lease components included in those agreements are included in the ROU asset and lease liability, and the amounts are not significant.

Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017‑04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment testing process. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount. Under the new standard, a goodwill impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of a reporting unit over its fair value. The provisions of this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has evaluated the provisions of the pronouncement and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018‑02 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02, “Leases (Topic 842),” and has subsequently issued supplemental and/or clarifying ASUs (collectively “ASC 842”), in order to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. We adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach and applied the transition provisions with an effective date as of January 1, 2019 for leases that existed on that date. Prior period results continue to be presented under ASC 840 based on the accounting originally in effect for such periods. We elected the “package of practical expedients” under ASC 842 which permits us to not reassess  our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. We also elected the practical expedient to not reassess certain land easements. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient during the transition of ASC 842. Adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recording of operating lease ROU assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities of approximately $183.0 million. The adoption of ASC 842 also resulted in increased disclosure, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. See the “Leases” section of this note and Note 6, Leases for additional information.

 

 

3.       Divesture of Xpress Internacional

In January 2019, we sold our 95% interest in Xpress Internacional. The purchase price was approximately $4.5 million in cash, a $6.0 million note receivable and approximately $2.5 million in contingent consideration related to the completion of selling 110 tractors. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, we updated the fair value of the tractors to $1.8 million from the previously recorded $2.5 million and recorded an additional cash receivable for $1.5 million as a result of lower than expected purchase expenses at Xpress Internacional. The business met the criteria for the presentation as held for sale as of December 31, 2018. The assets of business held for sale were not material to our consolidated revenues or consolidated operating income. We recognized an impairment in the amount of $10.7 million in December 2018, related to the disposal group as the carrying value exceeded the fair value. We recognized  a subsequent gain during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 of $0.7 million.

4.        Noncontrolling Interest

In June 2019, we purchased the remaining 10% noncontrolling interest of Total Transportation of Mississippi for a purchase price of $8.7 million. The book value of the noncontrolling interest prior to the equity purchase was $3.5 million and the remaining $5.2 million was a reduction to additional paid in capital.

 

5.        Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, plus discrete items. The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

Credit Facility

In June 2018, we entered into a new credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that contains a $150.0 million revolving component (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $200.0 million term loan component (the “Term Facility”). The Credit Facility contains an accordion feature that, so long as no event of default exists, allows us to request an increase in the borrowing amounts under the Revolving Facility or the Term Facility by a combined maximum amount of $75.0 million. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are classified as either “base rate loans” or “Eurodollar rate loans.” Base rate loans accrue interest at a base rate equal to the agent’s prime rate plus an applicable margin that was set at 1.25% through September 30, 2018 and adjusted quarterly thereafter between 0.75% and 1.50% based on our consolidated net leverage ratio. Eurodollar rate loans will accrue interest at London Interbank Offered Rate, or a comparable or successor rate approved by the administrative agent, plus an applicable margin that was set at 2.25% through September 30, 2018 and adjusted quarterly thereafter between 1.75% and 2.50% based on our consolidated net leverage ratio. The Credit Facility requires payment of a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility commitment of between 0.25% and 0.35% based on our consolidated net leverage ratio. In addition, the Revolving Facility includes, within its $150.0 million revolving credit facility, a letter of credit sub facility in an aggregate amount of $75.0 million and a swingline sub facility in an aggregate amount of $15.0 million. The Term Facility has scheduled quarterly principal payments between 1.25% and 2.50% of the original face amount of the Term Facility plus any additional amount borrowed pursuant to the accordion feature of the Term Facility. The Credit Facility will mature on June 18, 2023.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility are prepayable at any time without premium and are subject to mandatory prepayment from the net proceeds of certain asset sales and other borrowings. The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets, excluding, among other things, certain real estate and revenue equipment financed outside the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants including, among other things, restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue guarantees, to create liens on our assets, to make distributions on or redeem equity interests, to make investments, to transfer or sell properties or other assets and to engage in mergers, consolidations, or acquisitions. In addition, the Credit Facility requires us to meet specified financial ratios and tests, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

At June 30, 2019, the Revolving Facility had issued collateralized letters of credit in the face amount of $31.7 million, with $0.8 million borrowings outstanding and $117.5 million available to borrow and the Term Facility had $190.0 million outstanding.

The Credit Facility includes usual and customary events of default for a facility of this nature and provides that, upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Credit Facility may be accelerated, and the Lenders’ commitments may be terminated. At June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants prescribed by the Credit Facility.

 

 

7.        Leases

We have operating and finance leases with terms of 1 year to 10 years for certain revenue and service equipment and office and terminal facilities.
