C.H. Robinson Reports 2022 Second Quarter Results

C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (“C.H. Robinson”) (Nasdaq: CHRW) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter Key Metrics:

  • Gross profits and adjusted gross profits(1) increased 37.7% to $1.0 billion
  • Income from operations increased 80.2% to $469.7 million
  • Adjusted operating margin(1) increased 1,070 basis points to 45.5%
  • Diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 85.4% to $2.67
  • Cash generated by operations improved by $116.0 million to $265.3 million

(1) Adjusted gross profits and adjusted operating margin are Non-GAAP financial measures. The same factors described in this release that impacted these Non-GAAP measures also impacted the comparable GAAP measures. Refer to page 10 for further discussion and a GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation.

"Our second quarter was another quarter of record profits, as our business model performed as we would expect it to in this part of the cycle," said Bob Biesterfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer of C.H. Robinson. "Our investments in our customer relationships through the early part of the cycle, while the cost of purchased transportation was rapidly increasing, are paying dividends as we retain and gain share with these customers through the terms of our agreements. Our strong results were again driven by significant operating margin expansion in our North American Surface Transportation business, as we further improved the profitability of our truckload and less-than truckload businesses and grew our truckload volume in a declining market. Our Global Forwarding team continued to deliver strong financial results, while benefiting from the market share they’ve gained over the past couple of years."

Summary of Second Quarter Results Compared to the Second Quarter of 2021

  • Total revenues increased 22.9% to $6.8 billion, driven primarily by higher pricing across most of our services and higher truckload and ocean volume.
  • Gross profits and adjusted gross profits increased 37.7% to $1.0 billion, primarily driven by higher adjusted gross profit per transaction across most of our services and higher truckload and ocean volume.
  • Operating expenses increased 15.0% to $561.9 million. Personnel expenses increased 22.6% to $444.8 million, primarily due to higher headcount, which increased 16.2%, and higher incentive compensation costs. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of $117.2 million decreased 6.8% and included a $25.3 million gain on the sale-leaseback of our Kansas City regional center. This was partially offset by higher purchased and contracted services and increased travel expenses.
  • Income from operations totaled $469.7 million, up 80.2% due to the increase in adjusted gross profits, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses. Adjusted operating margin of 45.5% increased 1,070 basis points.
  • Interest and other income/expense, net totaled $27.4 million of expense, consisting primarily of $17.0 million of interest expense, which increased $4.3 million versus last year due to a higher average debt balance, and $10.3 million of foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses, which increased $8.4 million versus last year due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar, primarily versus the Euro and Yuan.
  • The effective tax rate in the quarter was 21.3% compared to 21.6% in the second quarter last year.
  • Net income totaled $348.2 million, up 79.7% from a year ago. Diluted EPS of $2.67 increased 85.4%.

Summary of Year-to-Date Results Compared to 2021

  • Total revenues increased 31.7% to $13.6 billion, driven primarily by higher pricing and higher volume across most of our services.
  • Gross profits and adjusted gross profits increased 33.5% to $1.9 billion, primarily driven by higher adjusted gross profit per transaction and higher volume across most of our services.
  • Operating expenses increased 16.0% to $1.1 billion. Personnel expenses increased 18.6% to $858.1 million, primarily due to higher headcount, which increased 15.2%, and higher incentive compensation costs. SG&A expenses increased 8.5% to $264.5 million, primarily due to increases in purchased and contracted services, travel expenses and warehouse expenses, partially offset by a $25.3 million gain on the sale-leaseback of our Kansas City regional center.
  • Income from operations totaled $815.1 million, up 68.4% from last year, primarily due to the increase in adjusted gross profits, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses. Adjusted operating margin of 42.1% increased 880 basis points.
  • Interest and other income/expense, net totaled $41.6 million of expense, which primarily consists of $31.5 million of interest expense, which increased $6.6 million versus last year due to a higher average debt balance. The full year also included a $11.8 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses, due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar, primarily versus the Euro and Yuan.
  • The effective tax rate for the six months was 20.0% compared to 20.1% in the year-ago period.
  • Net income totaled $618.5 million, up 68.5% from a year ago. Diluted EPS of $4.71 increased 73.8%.

Second quarter total revenues for the NAST segment totaled $4.1 billion, an increase of 15.7% over the prior year, primarily driven by higher truckload and less-than truckload ("LTL") pricing and an increase in truckload shipments. NAST adjusted gross profits increased 43.1% in the quarter to $624.6 million. Adjusted gross profits in truckload increased 50.8% due to a 48.0% increase in adjusted gross profit per shipment and a 2.0% increase in truckload volume. Our average truckload linehaul rate per mile charged to our customers, which excludes fuel surcharges, increased approximately 1.5% in the quarter compared to the prior year, while truckload linehaul cost per mile, excluding fuel surcharges, decreased approximately 5.0%, resulting in a 46.5% increase in truckload adjusted gross profit per mile. LTL adjusted gross profits increased 30.2% versus the year-ago period, as adjusted gross profit per order increased 37.0% and LTL volumes declined 5.0%. Operating expenses increased 21.9% primarily due to increased salaries, incentive compensation, and technology expenses. Income from operations increased 83.0% to $276.5 million, and adjusted operating margin expanded 970 basis points to 44.3%. NAST average headcount was up 14.8% in the quarter.

(1) Adjusted gross profits is a non-GAAP financial measure explained later in this release. The difference between adjusted gross profits and gross profits is not material.

Second quarter Robinson Fresh adjusted gross profits increased 16.8% to $35.0 million, due to an 8.5% increase in case volume and an increase in integrated supply chain and technology services. Managed Services adjusted gross profits increased 5.3% in the quarter, due to growth in business with both new and existing customers. Other Surface Transportation adjusted gross profits increased 13.4% to $20.0 million, primarily due to a 16.7% increase in Europe truckload adjusted gross profits.

Other Income Statement Items

The second quarter effective tax rate was 21.3%, down from 21.6% last year. We expect our 2022 full-year effective tax rate to be 19% to 21%.

Interest and other income/expense, net totaled $27.4 million of expense, consisting primarily of $17.0 million of interest expense, which increased $4.3 million versus the second quarter of 2021 due to a higher average debt balance, and $10.3 million of foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses, which increased $8.4 million versus the second quarter of 2021 due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar, primarily versus the Euro and Yuan.

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the quarter were down 3.4% due primarily to share repurchases over the past twelve months.

Cash Flow Generation and Capital Distribution

Cash from operations totaled $265.3 million in the second quarter, compared to $149.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. The $116.0 million improvement was primarily due to a $154.4 million increase in net income.

In the second quarter of 2022, cash returned to shareholders increased 100% versus last year to $409.2 million, with $336.7 million in repurchases of common stock and $72.4 million in cash dividends.

Capital expenditures totaled $43.2 million in the quarter. Capital expenditures for 2022 are now expected to be $110 million to $120 million, up from our prior guidance of $90 million to $100 million, primarily due to a higher level of internally developed software.

Outlook

"As questions linger about global economic growth, inflationary pressures, and consumer discretionary spending, our global suite of multimodal services, our growing digital platform, our responsive team of logistics experts, and our resilient and flexible non-asset-based business model put us in a position to continue delivering strong financial results," Biesterfeld stated. "While we are pleased with our performance this quarter and the fact that both NAST and Global Forwarding delivered operating margins above our publicly stated targets, we know that we have work to do to consistently deliver at our targeted level. The work that the team is executing related to scaling our model, eliminating internal legacy processes and improving quality, while working backwards from the needs of our customers and carriers, will drive continued improvement in operating profits long-term. As we look to the second half of the year, we are watching economic conditions closely, and the management team and board continue to consider all strategies to grow operating profits and maximize long-term shareholder returns through all phases of the business cycle and various economic scenarios."

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

(unaudited, in thousands)

 

Our adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit excluding amortization of internally developed software utilized to directly serve our customers and contracted carriers. We believe adjusted gross profit is a useful measure of our ability to source, add value, and sell services and products that are provided by third parties, and we consider adjusted gross profit to be a primary performance measurement. Accordingly, the discussion of our results of operations often focuses on the changes in our adjusted gross profit. The reconciliation of gross profit to adjusted gross profit is presented below (in thousands):

Our adjusted operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income divided by adjusted gross profit. We believe adjusted operating margin is a useful measure of our profitability in comparison to our adjusted gross profit which we consider a primary performance metric as discussed above.
