NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YRC Worldwide Inc. and Subsidiaries

(Unaudited)

Certain of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contain forward-looking statements, as described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

1. Description of Business

YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a holding company that, through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and its interest in a Chinese joint venture, offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. We have one of the largest, most comprehensive less-than-truckload (“LTL”) networks in North America with local, regional, national and international capabilities. Through our team of experienced service professionals, we offer expertise in LTL shipments and flexible supply chain solutions, ensuring customers can ship industrial, commercial and retail goods with confidence. Our reporting segments include the following:

•

YRC Freight is the reporting segment that focuses on longer haul business opportunities with national, regional and international services. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This reporting segment includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Inc. (“YRC Freight”) and Reimer Express (“YRC Reimer”), a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.

•

Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. Regional Transportation is comprised of USF Holland Inc. (“Holland”), New Penn Motor Express, Inc. (“New Penn”) and USF Reddaway Inc. (“Reddaway”). These companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

At March 31, 2015, approximately 78% of our labor force is subject to collective bargaining agreements, which predominantly expire in March 2019.

2. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We report on a calendar year basis. The quarters of the Regional Transportation companies (with the exception of New Penn) consist of thirteen weeks that end on a Saturday either before or after the end of March, June and September, whereas all other operating segment quarters end on the natural calendar quarter end. Our investment in our non-majority owned affiliate is accounted for on the equity method.

We make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have prepared the Consolidated Financial Statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these financial statements herein have been made. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2015:

Table of Contents



			Fair Value Measurement Hierarchy
(in millions)	Total Carrying Value		Quoted prices in active market (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Restricted amounts held in escrow-current	$	17.9	$	17.9	$	—	$	—
Restricted amounts held in escrow-long term	60.2		60.2		—		—
Total assets at fair value	$	78.1	$	78.1	$	—	$	—

Restricted amounts held in escrow are invested in money market accounts and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we reclassified the amortization of our net pension loss totaling $4.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net loss. This reclassification is a component of net periodic pension cost and is discussed in the “Employee Benefits” footnote.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new authoritative literature, Interest - Imputation of Interest, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with the accounting treatment for debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance of debt issuance costs are not affected by this update. The guidance, which requires retrospective application, is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2016, but early adoption is allowed. The Company is currently evaluating this newly-issued guidance and the impact it will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. 2014 Financing Transactions

On January 31, 2014, we issued 14,333,334 shares of our Common Stock and 583,334 shares of our Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to certain stock purchase agreements, dated as of December 22, 2013 (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”), for an aggregate $250.0 million in cash. We used the proceeds from these transactions to, among other things, (i) repay our 6% Convertible Senior Notes (“6% Notes”) at their maturity on February 15, 2014 and (ii) repurchase $90.9 million of our Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes (“Series A Notes”). In February 2014, the Company deposited $89.6 million with the trustee to fund the redemption (including accrued interest), and thereby discharged the indenture governing the Series A Notes. The Company used the cash deposited with the trustee to redeem its Series A Notes on August 5, 2014.

Also on January 31, 2014, certain holders of our 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes (“Series B Notes”) exchanged their outstanding balances at a conversion price of $15.00 per share, while another holder converted its Series B Notes in accordance with their existing terms. We also amended the indenture governing our Series B Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other related provisions contained in the indenture and to release and discharge the liens on the collateral securing the Series B Notes.

Effective January 31, 2014, certain of our subsidiaries, various pension funds party thereto, and Wilmington Trust Company, as agent for such pension funds, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement (“Second A&R CDA”), which, among other things (i) amended and restated the Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement (“A&R CDA”), (ii) released the agent’s security interest in third priority collateral on the Collateral Release Date, (iii) limited the value of obligations secured by the collateral to the Secured Obligations and (iv) extended the maturity of deferred pension payments and deferred interest from March 31, 2015 to December 31, 2019.

On February 13, 2014, we replaced our prior credit facilities with a new $450 million asset-based loan (the “ABL Facility”) and a new $700 million term loan facility (“Term Loan”). The ABL Facility supports our outstanding letters of credit commitments.

We refer to transactions described above collectively as the “2014 Financing Transactions.” The table below summarizes the cash flow activity for the 2014 Financing Transactions:

Table of Contents



Cash Sources (in millions)			Cash Uses (in millions)
Term Loan	$	700.0	Extinguish prior ABL facility (includes accrued interest)	$	326.0
Proceeds from sale of common stock	215.0		Extinguish prior term loan (includes accrued interest)	299.7
Proceeds from sale of convertible preferred stock	35.0		Retire 6% Notes	71.5
Cash proceeds from restricted amounts held in escrow - Prior ABL facility	90.0		Repurchase Series A Notes (includes accrued interest)	93.9
ABL Facility	—		Redeem Series A Notes (on August 5, 2014 and includes accrued interest)	89.6
			Fees, expenses and original issuance discount	50.8
			Restricted cash to balance sheet ^(a)	92.0
			Cash to balance sheet	16.5
Total sources	$	1,040.0	Total uses	$	1,040.0


(a)	Under the terms of the ABL Facility, this amount was classified as “restricted cash” in the consolidated balance sheet at the closing date of the ABL Facility.

The table below summarizes the non-cash activity for the 2014 Financing Transactions:



Non-Cash Sources (in millions)			Non-Cash Uses (in millions)
Secured Second A&R CDA	$	51.0	A&R CDA	$	124.2
Unsecured Second A&R CDA	73.2		Exchange/conversion of Series B Notes to common stock	50.6
Exchange/conversion of Series B Notes to common stock	50.6
Total sources	$	174.8	Total uses	$	174.8

We accounted for the A&R CDA maturity extension as a debt modification and the remaining transactions as extinguishment of debt and issuance of new debt. We recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $11.2 million associated with this transaction during the three months ended March 31, 2014, $16.3 million of which related to the acceleration of net premiums on our old debt, partially offset by $5.1 million of additional expense related to the fair value of the incremental shares provided to those Series B Note holders who exchanged their outstanding balances at a conversion price of $15.00 per share. We recorded, in “interest expense” on the statements of consolidated comprehensive loss, $8.0 million of make-whole interest related to the Series B Notes exchanged during the three months ended March 31, 2014. We paid $43.8 million of fees associated with these transactions of which $26.7 million was recorded as unamortized deferred debt costs in “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheet in the first quarter of 2014 and will be recognized as interest expense over the term of the Term Loan and ABL Facility and $17.1 million offset the equity proceeds of our stock purchase agreements.

On March 14, 2014, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which our stockholders approved amending our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and to allow an individual investor to own more than 19.99% of outstanding Common Stock. Upon approval of these amendments, each outstanding share of Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into four shares of Common Stock and the Company recorded $18.1 million related to the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature on preferred stock on the statements of consolidated comprehensive loss.

4. Debt and Financing

Our outstanding debt as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of the following:

^(a)

As of March 31, 2015, the borrowing base and availability on our ABL Facility were $450.0 million and $84.2 million, respectively. The availability is calculated in accordance with the terms of the ABL Facility and is derived by reducing the borrowing base by our $365.8 million of outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2015. The amount which is actually able to be drawn is limited by certain financial covenants in the ABL Facility to $39.2 million.



As of December 31, 2014 (in millions)	Par Value			Premium/ (Discount)			Book Value			Stated Interest Rate		Average Effective Interest Rate

^(a)

As of December 31, 2014, the borrowing base and availability on our ABL Facility were $445.5 million and $71.2 million, respectively. The availability is calculated in accordance with the terms of the ABL Facility and is derived by reducing the borrowing base by our $374.3 million of outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2014. The amount which is actually able to be drawn is limited by certain financial covenants in the ABL Facility to $27.1 million.

Series B Exchange

Our Series B Notes, which matured on March 31, 2015, were convertible into our common stock, at the conversion price per share of approximately $18.5334 and a conversion rate of 53.9567 common shares per $1,000 of the Series B Notes (such conversion price and conversion rate applying also to the Series B Notes make whole premium).

On March 25, 2015, we entered into an exchange agreement with certain holders of our Series B Notes to exchange their outstanding principal and accrued interest balances totaling $17.9 million at conversion price of $18.00 per share for an aggregate 994,689 shares of Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded $0.6 million of additional expense related

Table of Contents

to the fair value of the incremental shares provided to those holders who exchanged their outstanding balances. At maturity on March 31, 2015, we repaid the holders of the remaining outstanding Series B Notes approximately $0.3 million of cash.

As discussed in the “2014 Financing Transactions” footnote, on January 31, 2014, certain holders of our Series B Notes exchanged their outstanding notes as part of an exchange agreement. Outside of these exchange agreements, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, $1.2 million of aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes were converted into 75,900 shares of our common stock, which includes the make whole premium. Upon conversion, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded $0.4 million of additional interest expense representing the $0.2 million make whole premium and $0.2 million of accelerated amortization of the discount on converted Series B Notes.

Fair Value Measurement

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our long-term debt, including current maturities and other financial instruments, are summarized as follows:



	March 31, 2015				December 31, 2014
(in millions)	Carrying amount		Fair Value		Carrying amount		Fair Value
Term Loan	$	685.9	$	681.6	$	687.3	$	685.4
Series B Notes	—		—		17.1		17.7
Lease financing obligations	282.7		282.7		285.1		282.2
Other	119.6		117.9		120.4		119.1
Total debt	$	1,088.2	$	1,082.2	$	1,109.9	$	1,104.4

The fair values of the Term Loan, ABL Facility, Series B Notes and the Secured and Unsecured A&R CDA (included in “Other” above) were estimated based on observable prices (level two inputs for fair value measurements). The fair value of the lease financing obligations is estimated using a publicly traded secured loan with similar characteristics (level three input for fair value measurement).

5. Liquidity

For a description of our outstanding debt as of March 31, 2015, please refer to the “Debt and Financing” footnote in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Facility Covenants

Our Term Loan credit agreement has certain financial covenants that, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio (defined as Consolidated Total Debt divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as defined below). On September 25, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to its Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), which amended the Term Loan to, among other things, adjust the maximum permitted total leverage ratio through December 31, 2016 and increase the applicable interest rate over the same period.

Our Credit Agreement Amendment total maximum leverage ratio covenants are as follows:

Table of Contents



Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio	Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio
March 31, 2015	5.00 to 1.00	September 30, 2016	3.75 to 1.00
June 30, 2015	4.75 to 1.00	December 31, 2016	3.50 to 1.00
September 30, 2015	4.50 to 1.00	March 31, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
December 31, 2015	4.25 to 1.00	June 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
March 31, 2016	4.00 to 1.00	September 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
June 30, 2016	3.75 to 1.00	December 31, 2017 and thereafter	3.00 to 1.00

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, defined in our Credit Agreement Amendment as “Consolidated EBITDA,” is a measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and is further adjusted for, among other things, letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees, nonrecurring consulting fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our International Brotherhood of Teamsters (“IBT”) employees and the results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations. Consolidated Total Debt, as defined in our Credit Agreement Amendment, is the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding. Our total leverage ratio for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2015 was 3.90 to 1.00.

We believe that our results of operations will be sufficient to allow us to comply with the covenants in the Credit Agreement Amendment, fund our operations, increase working capital as necessary to support our planned revenue growth and fund capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. In order for us to maintain compliance with the maximum total leverage ratio over the tenor of the Term Loan, we must achieve operating results which reflect continuing improvement over our recent results.

Our ability to satisfy our liquidity needs and meet future stepped-up covenant requirements is primarily dependent on improving our profitability. Improvements to our profitability include continued successful implementation and realization of productivity and efficiency initiatives as well as increased volume and pricing improvements, some of which are outside of our control.

In the event our operating results indicate we will not meet our maximum total leverage ratio, we will take action to improve our maximum total leverage ratio which may include paying down our outstanding indebtedness with either cash on hand or from cash proceeds from equity issuances. The issuance of equity is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be able to issue additional equity at terms that are agreeable to us or that we would have sufficient cash on hand to pay down debt in order to meet the maximum total leverage ratio.

Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our ABL Facility and any prospective net operating cash flows from operations. The unused line of credit that may actually be drawn is limited by certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2015, the amount that actually may be drawn on the ABL Facility was $39.2 million. As of March 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $136.4 million, and cash and cash equivalents and amounts able to be drawn on our ABL Facility totaling $175.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we used net cash of $25.8 million for our operating activities.

Our principal uses of cash are to fund our operations, including making contributions to our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds, and to meet our other cash obligations including, but not limited to, paying cash interest and principal on our funded debt, payments on our equipment leases and funding capital expenditures.

Our ABL Facility credit agreement, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires that the Company, in effect, maintain availability of at least 10% of the lesser of the aggregate amount of commitments from all lenders or the borrowing base.

Table of Contents

minimum rental expense under operating leases for the remainder of the year is $48.7 million. As of March 31, 2015, our operating lease obligations through 2025 totaled $206.4 million and is expected to increase as we lease additional revenue equipment.

Our capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $21.3 million and $11.7 million, respectively. These amounts were primarily for purchases of used tractors and trailers and refurbished engines for our revenue fleet. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, we entered into new operating leases for revenue equipment for $47.6 million, payable over the average lease term of four years.

6. Employee Benefits

The following table presents the components of our company-sponsored pension costs for the three months ended March 31:



	Three Months
(in millions)	2015			2014
Service cost	$	1.2		$	1.0
Interest cost	14.3			15.2
Expected return on plan assets	(15.0		)	(13.4		)
Amortization of net pension loss	4.0			3.2
Total periodic pension cost	$	4.5		$	6.0

We expect to contribute $60.3 million to our company-sponsored pension plans in 2015 of which we have contributed $13.3 million through March 31, 2015.

7. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was (6.9)%, compared to 5.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . The significant items impacting the 2015 rate include a net state and foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2015. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets were subject to a valuation allowance.

Customarily, a loss before income taxes would generate income tax benefit. Our income tax expense reported for the three months ended March 31, 2015, notwithstanding the corresponding loss before income taxes, results from foreign and certain state taxable income; no net U.S. federal benefit is recognizable after the required valuation allowance for an expected federal loss carryforward.

Concurrent with the financing transactions of January 31, 2014 described in the “2014 Financing Transactions” footnote, the Company experienced a change of ownership as described in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The impact of the 2014 ownership change on the Company’s ability to utilize its Net Operating Loss carryforwards and other tax attributes is not material as most of the carryforwards to which this ownership change applies already have been significantly limited by previous ownership changes occurring in 2011 and 2013.

8. Shareholders’ Deficit

The following reflects the activity in the shares of our common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2015:



(shares in thousands)	2015

9. Stock Compensation Plans

Performance Based Awards

On March 9, 2015, the Company granted performance stock unit awards (“2015 Performance Awards”) to employees. The awards provide a target number of shares that vest equally over three years, with the first vesting occurring on February 23, 2016. In addition to meeting service conditions, the number of performance stock units to be received depends on the attainment of defined Company-wide performance goals for 2015 based on adjusted return on invested capital over a one year performance period. The number of performance stock units ultimately earned will range between zero to 200% of the target award.

A summary of performance based unvested stock unit activity at target is as follows:



(stock units in thousands)	Target Number of Units^(a)	Weighted Average Fair Value
Unvested performance stock unit awards, at December 31, 2014	—	—
2015 Performance Awards granted	203	$	18.23
2015 Performance Awards forfeited	—	—
Unvested performance stock unit awards, at March 31, 2015	203	$	18.23

^(a) For the 2015 Performance Awards, participants in the aggregate can earn up to a maximum of 406 thousand performance stock units.

The Company expenses the grant date fair value of the awards which are probable of being earned over their performance period. Compensation cost on performance based awards was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, at target performance, $3.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to performance based awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.

10. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Given our net loss position for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, there were no dilutive securities for these periods. Our anti-dilutive securities for the three months ended March 31 are as follows:



(shares, options and stock units in thousands)	2015	2014
Anti-dilutive shares, options, and stock units	1,154	714
Anti-dilutive Series A Notes	—	2,675
Anti-dilutive Series B Notes	—	982

11. Business Segments

We report financial and descriptive information about our reporting segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We evaluate segment performance primarily on external revenue and operating income (loss).

We have the following reportable segments, which are strategic business units that offer complementary transportation services to our customers:

•

YRC Freight is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in national, regional and international services. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Freight and YRC Reimer, a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.


•	Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. The Regional Transportation companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Table of Contents

We charge management fees and other corporate service fees to our reportable segments based on the direct benefits received or an overhead allocation basis. Corporate and other operating losses represent residual operating expenses of the holding company. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, an investment in an equity method affiliate and deferred debt issuance costs. Intersegment revenue primarily relates to transportation services between our segments.

The following table summarizes our operations by business segment:



(in millions)	YRC Freight			Regional Transportation		Corporate/ Eliminations			Consolidated
As of March 31, 2015
Identifiable assets	$	1,483.0		$	783.5	$	(300.3	)	$	1,966.2

12. Commitments, Contingencies and Uncertainties

Bryant Holdings Securities Litigation

On February 7, 2011, a putative class action was filed by Bryant Holdings LLC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas on behalf of purchasers of our common stock between April 24, 2008 and November 2, 2009, inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking damages under the federal securities laws for statements and/or omissions allegedly made by us and the individual defendants during the Class Period which plaintiffs claimed to be false and misleading.

The individual defendants are former officers of our Company. No current officers or directors are named in the lawsuit. The parties participated in voluntary mediation between March 11, 2013 and April 15, 2013. The mediation resulted in the execution of a mutually acceptable settlement agreement by the parties. Substantially all of the payments contemplated by the settlement would be covered by our liability insurance. The self-insured retention on this matter has been accrued.

The settlement agreement required court approval. On August 19, 2013, November 18, 2013, and February 11, 2015, the district court denied Plaintiffs’ motions for preliminary approval of the settlement. On March 4, 2015, the district court set the case for trial beginning June 6, 2016. On March 20, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus in the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, seeking an order requiring the district court to vacate the trial setting and to give further consideration to the settlement agreement. On April 28, 2015, the Court of Appeals denied plaintiffs’ petition for mandamus.

Other Legal Matters

We are involved in other litigation or proceedings that arise in ordinary business activities. When possible, we insure against these risks to the extent we deem prudent, but no assurance can be given that the nature or amount of such insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings. Many of these insurance policies contain self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent. Based on our current assessment of information available as of the date of these financial statements, we believe that our financial statements include adequate provisions for estimated costs and losses that may be incurred within the litigation and proceedings to which we are a party.

Our Business

We are a holding company that, through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and our interest in a Chinese joint venture, offers our customers a wide range of transportation services. We have one of the largest, most comprehensive less-than-truckload (“LTL”) networks in North America with local, regional, national and international capabilities. Through our team of experienced service professionals, we offer industry-leading expertise in LTL shipments and flexible supply chain solutions, ensuring customers can ship industrial, commercial and retail goods with confidence.

We measure the performance of our business on both a consolidated basis and a reporting segment basis. We use several performance metrics, but rely primarily upon (without limitation) operating revenue, operating income (loss), and operating ratio. We also use certain non-GAAP financial measures as secondary measures to assess our operating performance.

•

Operating Revenue: Our operating revenue has two primary components: volume (commonly evaluated using number of shipments and weight per shipment) and yield or price (commonly evaluated on a dollar per hundred weight basis and a dollar per shipment basis). Yield includes fuel surcharge revenue, which is common in the trucking industry and represents an amount charged to customers that adjusts with changing fuel prices. We base our fuel surcharges on a published national index and adjust them weekly. Rapid material changes in the index or our cost of fuel can positively or negatively impact our revenue and operating income versus prior periods, as there is a lag in our adjustment of base rates in response to changes in fuel surcharge. We believe that fuel surcharge is an accepted and important component of the overall pricing of our services to our customers. Without an industry accepted fuel surcharge program, our base pricing for our transportation services would require numerous changes. We believe the distinction between base rates and fuel surcharge has blurred over time, and it is impractical to clearly separate all the different factors that influence the price that our customers are willing to pay. In general, under our present fuel surcharge program, we believe rising fuel costs are beneficial to us and falling fuel costs are detrimental to us in the short term.


•	Operating Income (Loss): Operating income (loss) is our operating revenue less operating expenses. Our consolidated operating income (loss) includes certain corporate charges that are not allocated to our YRC Freight and Regional Transportation reporting segments.


•	Operating Ratio: Operating ratio is a common operating performance metric used in the trucking industry. It is calculated as (i) 100 percent (ii) minus the result of dividing operating income by operating revenue or (iii) plus the result of dividing operating loss by operating revenue, and expressed as a percentage.


•	Non-GAAP Financial Measures: We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess our performance. These include (without limitation) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA:


◦	EBITDA: a non-GAAP measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense. EBITDA is used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects our core operating performance.

Table of Contents

◦

Adjusted EBITDA: a non-GAAP measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and further adjusts for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees, nonrecurring consulting fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our IBT employees and the results of permitted dispositions, discontinued operations, among other items, as defined in our credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects our core operating performance and to measure compliance with financial covenants in our credit facilities.

Our non-GAAP financial measures have the following limitations:


◦	EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or fund principal payments on our outstanding debt;


◦	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to fund restructuring professional fees, nonrecurring consulting fees, letter of credit fees, service interest, principal payments on our outstanding debt or lump sum payments to our IBT employees required under the modified labor agreement;


◦	Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;


◦	Equity-based compensation is an element of our long-term incentive compensation package, although adjusted EBITDA excludes employee equity-based compensation expense when presenting our ongoing operating performance for a particular period;


◦	Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, potentially limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and use our non-GAAP measures as secondary measures.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Our consolidated results include the consolidated results of our YRC Freight and Regional Transportation reporting segments as well as any unallocated corporate charges. A more detailed discussion of the operating results of our segments is presented in the “Reporting Segment Results of Operations” section below.

The table below provides summary consolidated financial information for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014:



	First Quarter
(in millions)	2015			2014			Percent Change
Operating revenue	$	1,186.4		$	1,210.9		(2.0	)%
Operating income (loss)	$	3.7		$	(32.4	)	111.4	%
Nonoperating expenses, net	$	23.9		$	41.9		43.0	%
Net loss	$	(21.6	)	$	(70.2	)	69.2	%

First Quarter of 2015 Compared to the First Quarter of 2014

Our consolidated operating revenue decreased 2.0% during the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributed to strategic declines in volumes at YRC Freight, as our focus has been on yield improvement over tonnage growth and a reduction in our fuel surcharge revenue. Offsetting this decrease was increased yield over the comparable prior year period, which was largely driven by our commitment to maintain and grow yield and a stronger pricing environment.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015 decreased $60.6 million, or 4.9%, compared to the same period in 2014. The decrease in operating expenses was driven by a $55.5 million, or 19.6%, decrease in operating expenses and supplies and an $18.4 million, or 2.5%, decrease in salaries, wages and employee benefits, partially offset by a $10.1 million, or 16.6%, increase in other operating expenses.

Table of Contents


•	The $55.5 million, or 19.6%, decrease in operating expenses and supplies in the first quarter of 2015 was primarily the result of a $60.9 million decrease in fuel expense compared to the first quarter of 2014. This decrease was largely driven by lower fuel prices on a per gallon basis, as well as fewer miles driven. This decrease in fuel prices also decreased our revenue as discussed above.


•	The $18.4 million, or 2.5%, decrease in salaries, wages and employee benefits was largely driven by lower total shipments in 2015 compared to 2014, which required less employee hours to process freight.


•	The $10.1 million, or 16.6%, increase in other operating expenses was primarily driven by an $8.4 million increase in our bodily injury and property damage claim expense as a result of unfavorable development of our outstanding claims.

Nonoperating expenses decreased $18.0 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2014, we incurred additional interest expense that was driven by the acceleration of the amortization of the deferred debt costs on our then-existing Term Loan and then-existing ABL Facility when they were extinguished in the first quarter of 2014. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by the gain we recorded on the extinguishment of debt of $11.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, $16.3 million of which related to the acceleration of net premiums on our old debt, partially offset by $5.1 million of additional expense related to the fair value of the incremental shares provided to those Series B Note holders who exchanged their outstanding balances at a conversion price of $15.00 per share.

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 was (6.9)% and 5.5%, respectively. Significant items impacting the first quarter of 2015 rate include a net state and foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2015. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, substantially all of our net deferred tax assets are subject to a valuation allowance.

Reporting Segment Results of Operations

We evaluate our operating performance using our YRC Freight and Regional Transportation reporting segments:

•


•	Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. The Regional Transportation companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

First Quarter of 2015 Compared to the First Quarter of 2014

YRC Freight reported operating revenue of $737.6 million in the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $19.2 million, or 2.5%, compared to the same period in 2014. The table below summarizes the key revenue metrics for the YRC Freight reporting segment for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014:

The increases in yield are primarily attributable to our commitment to maintain and grow yield and a stronger overall pricing environment. The decrease in volumes were primarily driven by a strategic decision to prioritize yield improvements over tonnage growth.

Operating income for YRC Freight was $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to an operating loss of $32.5 million in the same period in 2014. Operating revenue in the first quarter of 2015 was lower by $19.2 million while total operating expenses decreased by $51.9 million, or 6.6%. The decrease in operating expense consisted primarily of a $36.2 million, or 20.6%, decrease in operating expenses and supplies and a $14.2 million, or 3.2%, decrease in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits.

•

The $36.2 million, or 20.6%, decrease in operating expenses and supplies in the first quarter of 2015 was primarily the result of a $36.8 million decrease in fuel expense compared to the first quarter of 2014. This decrease was largely driven by lower fuel prices on a per gallon basis and fewer miles driven. This decrease in fuel prices also decreased the revenue we recognized as a result of our fuel surcharge program and, therefore, this expense decrease was offset. Additionally, we received a $4.1 million legal settlement in the first quarter of 2015 that contributed to this decrease, which was partially offset by an increase in professional services largely driven by a $2.9 million nonrecurring consulting fee.


•	The $14.2 million, or 3.2%, decrease in salaries, wages and employee benefits was largely driven by lower total shipments in 2015 compared to 2014, which required less employee hours to process freight.

Operating income for Regional Transportation was $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $3.3 million from the same period in 2014. Operating revenue in the first quarter of 2015 was lower by $5.3 million, while total operating expenses decreased by $2.0 million, or 0.4%. The decrease in total operating expenses was primarily driven by a $19.4 million, or 16.9%, decrease in operating expenses and supplies, partially offset by a $5.4 million, or 21.4%, increase in other operating expenses, a

$5.3 million, or 21.7%, increase in purchased transportation, and a $4.2 million, or 1.6%, increase in salaries, wages and employee benefits.

•

The $19.4 million, or 16.9%, decrease in operating expenses and supplies in the first quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by a $24.1 million decrease in fuel expense compared to the first quarter of 2014. This decrease was largely driven by lower fuel prices on a per gallon basis. This decrease in fuel prices also decreased the revenue we recognized as a result of our fuel surcharge program and, therefore, this expense decrease was offset. The lower fuel costs were partially offset by a $3.7 million increase in vehicle maintenance primarily used to support our aging fleet.


•	The $5.4 million, or 21.4%, increase in other operating expense in the first quarter of 2015 was primarily the result of a $5.7 million increase in our prior year bodily injury and property damage claim expense, as a result of unfavorable claim development on prior year claims.


•	The $5.3 million, or 21.7%, increase in purchased transportation was primarily driven by a $5.4 million increase in vehicle rent expense as our percentage of leased units has increased from prior year due to our strategy of using operating leases to acquire new revenue equipment.


•	The $4.2 million, or 1.6%, increase in in the first quarter of 2015 was primarily the result of a $2.0 million increase in workers’ compensation expense, which was caused, in large part, by unfavorable claim development on prior year claims.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As discussed in the “Our Business” section, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to assess performance. These measures should be considered in addition to the results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, our GAAP financial measures. For segment adjusted EBITDA, we present the reconciliation from operating income (loss) to EBITDA and EBITDA to adjusted EBITDA as it is consistent with how we measure performance.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

The reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA (defined in our Term Loan credit agreement as “Consolidated EBITDA”) for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, and the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2015, is as follows:

Financial Condition/Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our ABL Facility and any prospective net operating cash flows from operations. The unused line of credit that may actually be drawn is limited by certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2015, the amount that actually may be drawn on the ABL Facility was $39.2 million. As of March 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $136.4 million, and cash and cash equivalents and amounts able to be drawn on our ABL Facility totaling $175.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 we used net cash of $25.8 million for our operating activities.

We have a considerable amount of indebtedness. As of March 31, 2015, we had $1,093.6 million in aggregate par value of outstanding indebtedness, the majority of which matures in 2019. We also have considerable future funding obligations for our single-employer pension plans and various multi-employer pension funds. We expect our funding obligations for the remainder of 2015 for our single-employer pension plans and multi-employer pension funds will be $47.0 million and $66.1 million, respectively. In addition, we have, and will continue to have, substantial operating lease obligations. As of March 31, 2015, our minimum rental expense under operating leases for the remainder of the year is $48.7 million. As of March 31, 2015, our operating lease obligations through 2025 totaled $206.4 million and is expected to increase as we lease additional revenue equipment. As of March 31, 2015, our Standard & Poor’s Corporate Family Rating was “CCC+” and Moody’s Investor Service Corporate Family Rating was “B3”.

Our capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 were $21.3 million and $11.7 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund replacement trailers and refurbished engines for our revenue fleet. Additionally, for the first quarter of 2015, we entered into new operating leases for revenue equipment for $47.6 million, payable over the average lease term of four years.

Credit Facility Covenants

Our Term Loan credit agreement has certain financial covenants that, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio (defined as Consolidated Total Debt divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as defined below). On September 25, 2014, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment, which amended the Term Loan to, among other things, adjust the maximum permitted total leverage ratio through December 31, 2016 and increase the applicable interest rate over the same period.

Our Credit Agreement Amendment total maximum leverage ratio covenants is as follows:



Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio	Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total Leverage Ratio
March 31, 2015	5.00 to 1.00	September 30, 2016	3.75 to 1.00
June 30, 2015	4.75 to 1.00	December 31, 2016	3.50 to 1.00
September 30, 2015	4.50 to 1.00	March 31, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
December 31, 2015	4.25 to 1.00	June 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
March 31, 2016	4.00 to 1.00	September 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
June 30, 2016	3.75 to 1.00	December 31, 2017 and thereafter	3.00 to 1.00

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment as “Consolidated EBITDA,” is a measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and is further adjusted for, among other things, letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees, nonrecurring consulting fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our IBT employees and the results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations. Consolidated Total Debt, as defined in our Credit Agreement Amendment, is the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding. Our total leverage ratio for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2015 was 3.90 to 1.00.

In the event our operating results indicate we will not meet our maximum total leverage ratio, we may take action to improve our maximum total leverage ratio which will include paying down our outstanding indebtedness with either cash on hand or from cash proceeds from equity issuances. The issuance of equity is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be able to issue additional equity at terms that are agreeable to us or that we would have sufficient cash on hand to pay down debt in order to meet the maximum total leverage ratio.

Cash Flows

Operating Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities was $25.8 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $56.2 million in the first quarter of 2014. This decrease in cash utilization is primarily attributable to a $48.6 million year-over-year decrease in net loss driven by decreased operating expenses.

Investing Cash Flow

Investing cash flows increased by $84.2 million during the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, largely driven by a net receipt of $11.0 million in restricted escrow refunds in 2015 compared to a net deposit of $80.9 million in 2014. The 2014 restricted escrow deposits consist mostly of $82.0 million for the ABL Facility and $89.6 million for the Series A Notes redemption, offset by the reduction of the $90.0 million receipt for the Prior ABL Facility. In addition, there was a $9.6 million

Table of Contents

increase in the acquisition of property and equipment primarily due to increased purchases of used tractors and trailers and refurbished engines for our revenue fleet.

Financing Cash Flow

Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2015 was $4.5 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $109.0 million in the first quarter of 2014. The cash used in the first quarter of 2015 consists solely of repayments of our long-term debt. The cash provided during the first quarter of 2014 was driven by the issuance of $693.0 million in long-term debt for the Term Loan and $250.0 million equity issuance proceeds. These were offset by $789.5 million of repayments on our long-term debt. The repayments primarily consisted of $298.1 million for the prior term loan, $324.9 million for the prior ABL facility, $93.9 million for the redemption of Series A Notes and $69.4 million for the 6% Notes. We also had $27.4 million in debt issuance costs and $17.1 million in equity issuance costs related to our new debt and equity issued in 2014.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

The following sections provide aggregated information regarding our contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments as of March 31, 2015.
