"All of our business units delivered outstanding second quarter performance and our synergy efforts are ahead of schedule," said Bill Zollars, Chairman, President and CEO of Yellow Roadway. "A great deal of progress has been made during our first six months as Yellow Roadway Corporation, and we still have many opportunities ahead of us."
Yellow Roadway reported the following consolidated results for the second quarter of 2004:

- Operating income of $88.2 million, up 88% from pro forma operating income of $46.9 million in the second quarter of 2003 and over 2.5 times second quarter 2003 reported operating income of $32.3 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, Yellow Roadway reported the following consolidated results:
- Earnings per share of $1.35, up 88% compared to pro forma EPS of $.72 for the same period last year, and substantially above reported EPS of $.80 in the second quarter of 2003.
- Revenue of $3.23 billion, up 11.3% from pro forma revenue of $2.90 billion in the same period of 2003, and more than double reported revenue of $1.40 billion for the same period last year.
- Operating income of $129.6 million, up 59% compared to pro forma operating income of $81.3 million for the same period last year, and nearly three times the reported operating income of $44.1 million for the same period in 2003.
'Pro forma' information provided in this release for 2003 includes reported results of both Roadway Corporation and Yellow Corporation, as adjusted for conforming accounting policies, purchase accounting valuations and interest expense for acquisition-related debt. Management has provided pro forma information to more accurately compare results between periods. See the attached notes to "Supplemental Financial Information" and "Statistical Information" for more details. Consolidated 'reported' information for 2003 represents the results of the former Yellow Corporation entities only.
Yellow Transportation
Second quarter 2004 compared to second quarter 2003:
- Revenue of $793 million, a record for Yellow Transportation quarterly revenue, which represents a 14.6% increase from $691 million in the second quarter of 2003.
- Less-than-truckload (LTL) revenue per day was up 13.7% from the second quarter of 2003, primarily reflecting a 9.3% increase in LTL tonnage per day and a 4.1% increase in LTL revenue per hundred weight (2.5% excluding fuel surcharge). LTL revenue per hundred weight, when further adjusted for changes in weight per shipment and length of haul, was up 3.7%.
- Operating income of $45.7 million, up 26% from $36.4 million in the second quarter of 2003, which included a $3.7 million pre-tax benefit for an insurance recovery. When excluding the insurance recovery, operating income increased by nearly 40%.
- Operating ratio of 94.2% compared to 94.7% in last year's second quarter.
"Yellow Transportation continues to deliver impressive results, with record levels of revenue and operating income," said Zollars. "In addition, their operating ratio of 94.2% is the best second quarter operating ratio since 1989, after adjusting for property disposals."
Six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to six months ended June 30, 2003:
- Revenue of $1.53 billion, up 13.0% from $1.35 billion for the same period last year.
- Operating income of $72.1 million, a 29% increase from $55.9 million for the same period last year.
- Operating ratio of 95.3% compared to 95.9% for the same period in 2003.
Roadway Express
Second quarter 2004 compared to adjusted second quarter 2003:
- Revenue of $768 million, up 3.5% from revenue of $742 million in the second quarter of 2003.
- LTL revenue per day was up 2.5% from the second quarter of 2003, resulting from a 2.0% decline in LTL tonnage per day and a 4.6% increase in LTL revenue per hundred weight (2.7% excluding fuel surcharge). When further adjusted for changes in weight per shipment and length of haul, LTL revenue per hundred weight was up 5.8%.
- Operating income of $36.4 million, up 185% compared to operating income of $12.8 million from the second quarter of 2003.
- Operating ratio of 95.3% compared to the second quarter 2003 operating ratio of 98.3%.
"The improvement in profitability at Roadway Express represents excellent performance," Zollars said. "The progress made in the past six months demonstrates the strong operational capabilities of the Roadway Express team."
Six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to adjusted six months ended June 30, 2003:
- Revenue of $1.49 billion, a 2.3% increase compared to $1.45 billion for the first six months of 2003.
- Operating income of $51.4 million, an improvement of 55% from $33.1 million in the same period last year.
- Operating ratio of 96.5% compared to 97.7% for the same period in 2003.
New Penn Motor Express
Second quarter 2004 compared to adjusted second quarter 2003:
- Revenue of $64.3 million, up 17.6% from revenue of $54.7 million in the second quarter of 2003. The revenue growth was primarily the result of a 15.0% increase in LTL tonnage per day and a 1.4% improvement in LTL revenue per hundred weight (0.8% excluding fuel surcharge). The closure of a direct competitor, USF Red Star, on May 24, 2004 contributed to the strong tonnage growth at New Penn.
- Operating income of $9.2 million, an 83% improvement from operating income of $5.0 million in last year's second quarter.
- Operating ratio of 85.7%, compared to 90.8% in the second quarter of 2003.
"New Penn is doing a great job integrating growth opportunities," Zollars stated. "A second quarter operating ratio of 85.7% is an indication of their effectiveness."
Six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to adjusted six months ended June 30, 2003:
- Revenue of $120.4 million, an increase of 14.3% from revenue of $105.3 million for the same period last year.
- Operating income of $14.9 million, up 120% compared to $6.8 million of operating income for the same period of 2003.
- Operating ratio of 87.6% compared to 93.6% for the same period last year.
Meridian IQ
Second quarter 2004 compared to second quarter 2003:
- Revenue of $50.6 million, more than double the $23.2 million reported in the second quarter of 2003. The revenue increase is attributable to strong organic growth and acquisitions.
- Operating income of $0.6 million compared to $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2003.
"Meridian IQ continues to increase its global coverage and scale," Zollars stated. "Their progress is evidenced by consistent revenue growth and five consecutive quarters of profitability."
Six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to six months ended June 30, 2003:
- Revenue of $96.3 million, up nearly 113% from $45.3 million for the first six months of 2003.
- Operating income of $1.2 million represents a significant improvement from a $0.8 million operating loss for the same period last year.

The preceding disclosures for Roadway Express and New Penn Motor Express contain references to 'adjusted' revenue, operating income and operating ratios. Management has adjusted the 2003 results for conforming accounting policies and the conversion to a calendar quarter to more accurately compare operating results to the current period. See the attached notes to "Statistical Information" for Roadway Express and New Penn Motor Express for more details related to these adjustments.
Outlook
"We expect earnings per share of $1.20 - $1.25 in the third quarter of 2004," Zollars stated. "For the full year, our updated earnings guidance is for $3.70 - $3.75 per share, and consolidated revenue is expected to be $6.7 billion," Zollars continued. "We are on track to exceed our 2004 financial objectives based on the effective execution of our strategy, our synergy efforts and a strengthening economy."
On July 1, 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a tentative conclusion that companies should account for the EPS dilution from contingent convertible notes as if the notes were converted to common shares at the time of issuance (the "if converted" method). Currently, companies account for the potential shares when the conversion trigger is reached.
Yellow Roadway has contingent convertible notes outstanding that are not included in its computation of diluted earnings per share. The EITF's tentative conclusion does not alter the attractive economics associated with these financial instruments or the strong underlying performance of Yellow Roadway. The Company continually evaluates its capital structure to provide optimal shareholder value, and is analyzing alternatives that could mitigate the impact of the proposed accounting change. The third quarter and full year 2004 earnings per share guidance provided above does not include any potential impact of changes in accounting for contingent convertible notes.
