Green Bay, Wis. - November 6, 2024 – Schneider National, Inc. (NYSE: SNDR, 「Schneider」 or the 「Company」), a leading transportation and logistics services company, today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
「In the third quarter, our Dedicated and Intermodal businesses demonstrated their resilience, and Logistics maintained its profitable operations,」 said Mark Rourke, President and Chief Executive Officer of Schneider. “Dedicated performed well, with a robust new business pipeline, and Intermodal achieved margin growth due to enhanced network optimization, improved dray productivity, and our ongoing cost management actions. Additionally, Logistics continues to effectively manage net revenue and lower the cost of serving customers by advancing our Schneider FreightPower® technology and automation. Finally in our Network truck business, contract pricing continued its positive momentum since the beginning of the year with contract rate renewals at the highest level since first quarter 2022. While this trend is encouraging, present market conditions still do not support additional investment at this time as carriers are not being compensated for the value provided. Network results remain challenged as expected seasonality momentum was not sustained, and we are actively implementing strategies to enhance performance and drive improvement in this offering.”
「From an enterprise standpoint, lower year over year gains on equipment sales and equity investments represented in aggregate a $0.04 EPS headwind. Additionally, auto liability insurance costs increased by $1000萬, a $0.04 EPS impact year over year due to higher premiums and increased settlement costs, despite reduced frequency of incidents.」
“As we enter the holiday shipment season, I’d like to thank each of our associates, especially our professional drivers, for their tireless dedication and hard work,” Rourke commented. 「We are committed to maximizing shareholder value and advancing our enterprise for long-term success by delivering a seamless customer experience, disciplined execution of our commercial strategy, optimizing our capital allocation across our strategic growth areas, and diligent cost management.」
“The strength of our balance sheet and actions taken to enhance our free cash flow enable us to allocate capital to our strategic priorities, including acquisitive growth,” said Darrell Campbell, Vice President, and Chief Financial Officer of Schneider. 「We continue to take measures to improve margins and capital returns, driving resilience and long-term enterprise value.」
“We expect modest improvement in the fourth quarter over a year ago driven by continued stabilization across most of our businesses and improved seasonality, as we continue to position the enterprise for a more sustained market recovery. Based on our third quarter results and our shifted expectations of the timing of freight market improvement, we have updated our full year adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to $0.66 - $0.72, which assumes a full year effective tax rate of 24.0%. Our updated net capital expenditures guidance is approximately $33000萬,” Campbell commented.
