C.H. Robinson Reports 2023 First Quarter Results

C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (“C.H. Robinson”) (Nasdaq: CHRW) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

First Quarter Key Metrics:

  • Gross profits decreased 24.7% to $678.3 million
  • Income from operations decreased 53.4% to $161.0 million
  • Adjusted operating margin(1) decreased 1,460 basis points to 23.5%
  • Diluted earnings per share (EPS) decreased 53.2% to $0.96
  • Adjusted EPS(1) decreased 52.2% to $0.98
  • Cash generated by operations improved to $254.5 million

(1) Adjusted operating margin and adjusted EPS 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 pages 9 and 10 for further discussion and GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations.

"Our first quarter financial results reflect the softening market conditions that have transpired in the freight transportation market over the past twelve months," said Scott Anderson, Interim Chief Executive Officer. "With shippers continuing to manage through elevated inventories amidst slowing economic growth, the balance of supply and demand has shifted from a tight market a year ago to one that is now oversupplied. As spot rates approach the breakeven cost per mile to operate a truck, the market is likely at or near the bottom of the industry cycle, which typically results in capacity exiting the market. Contract rates are also declining as transportation providers adjust to the changing market. During this transition, we’ve continued to increase our focus on delivering an improved customer and carrier experience and a more efficient business model, and we're taking steps to foster profitable growth through cycles. We are executing on the restructuring plan that was initiated in November, and we're lowering our 2023 personnel expense by $100 million at the mid-point of our guidance, reflecting actions that have already been taken and additional opportunities to further reduce our costs."

Summary of First Quarter Results Compared to the First Quarter of 2022

  • Total revenues decreased 32.3% to $4.6 billion, primarily driven by lower pricing in our ocean and truckload services.
  • Gross profits decreased 24.7% to $678.3 million. Adjusted gross profits decreased 24.3% to $685.6 million, primarily driven by lower adjusted gross profit per transaction in ocean and truckload.
  • Operating expenses decreased 6.4% to $524.6 million. Personnel expenses decreased 7.3% to $383.1 million, primarily due to cost optimization efforts, including reduced headcount, and lower variable compensation. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of $141.5 million decreased 4.0%, primarily due to a decrease in credit losses.
  • Income from operations totaled $161.0 million, down 53.4% due to the decrease in adjusted gross profits, partially offset by the decline in operating expenses. Adjusted operating margin of 23.5% declined 1,460 basis points.
  • Interest and other income/expense, net totaled $28.3 million of expense, consisting primarily of $23.5 million of interest expense, which increased $9.0 million versus last year due primarily to higher variable interest rates, and $9.6 million of foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses, which increased $8.1 million versus last year primarily due to foreign currency revaluation on intercompany assets and liabilities.
  • The effective tax rate in the quarter was 13.5% compared to 18.4% in the first quarter last year. The lower rate in the first quarter of this year was driven by incremental tax benefits of stock-based compensation deliveries and U.S. tax credits and the impact of those benefits in proportion to lower pre-tax income.
  • Net income totaled $114.9 million, down 57.5% from a year ago. Diluted EPS of $0.96 decreased 53.2%. Adjusted EPS of $0.98 decreased 52.2%.

(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.

First quarter Robinson Fresh adjusted gross profits increased 2.1% to $31.1 million, primarily driven by integrated supply chain solutions for foodservice and retail customers. Managed Services adjusted gross profits increased 3.2% in the quarter, due to growth with existing and new customers. Other Surface Transportation adjusted gross profits increased 6.6% to $21.0 million, primarily due to a 5.9% increase in Europe truckload adjusted gross profits.

Other Income Statement Items

The first quarter effective tax rate was 13.5%, down from 18.4% last year. The lower rate in the first quarter of this year was driven by incremental tax benefits of stock-based compensation deliveries and U.S. tax credits and the impact of those benefits in proportion to lower pre-tax income. We expect our 2023 full-year effective tax rate to be 19% to 21%.

Interest and other income/expense, net totaled $28.3 million of expense, consisting primarily of $23.5 million of interest expense, which increased $9.0 million versus the first quarter of 2022 due primarily to higher variable interest rates, and $9.6 million of foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses.

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the quarter were down 9.3% due primarily to share repurchases over the past twelve months.

Cash Flow Generation and Capital Distribution

Cash generated from operations totaled $254.5 million in the first quarter, compared to $13.9 million of cash used by operations in the first quarter of 2022. The $268.5 million improvement was primarily due to a $234.9 million sequential decrease in net operating working capital in the first quarter of 2023, compared to a $288.5 million sequential increase in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in net operating working capital in the first quarter of 2023 resulted primarily from a $376.1 million sequential decrease in accounts receivable and contract assets, partially offset by a $141.2 million sequential decrease in total accounts payable and accrued transportation expense.

In the first quarter of 2023, cash returned to shareholders totaled $124.7 million, with $73.4 million in cash dividends and $51.2 million in repurchases of common stock.

Capital expenditures totaled $27.0 million in the quarter. Capital expenditures for 2023 are expected to be $90 million to $100 million.

Outlook

"As inflationary pressures continue to weigh on global economic growth and freight markets present cyclical challenges, the competitive landscape has changed," Anderson stated. "With lower available demand, the competition for volume is intense, and shippers are looking for stable and innovative logistics partners. We've shown the strength of our model through cycles, our balance sheet continues to be strong, and we plan to continue investing in initiatives that we expect to provide innovative solutions and generate profitable growth. At the same time, we’re continuing to evolve our organization to bring greater focus to our highest strategic priorities, including keeping the needs of our customers and carriers at the center of what we do while lowering our overall cost structure. We expect this initiative will continue to drive improvements in our customer and carrier experience and amplify the expertise of our people, all of which we expect to drive market share gains and growth, and lead to improved returns for our shareholders."

"We have some of the best people in the logistics industry, and they're dedicated to solving challenges for our customers. As a result of the exceptional service that our people provided to customers during the period of extended market disruption, our customer experience scores are very high, and we’re having more strategic customer discussions about our ability to provide an integrated service solution. So while the near-term freight environment presents some challenges, our differentiated value proposition and the strength of our people, processes and technology provide many opportunities," Anderson concluded.

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):

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

Our adjusted income (loss) from operations and adjusted net income per share (diluted) are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted income (loss) from operations and adjusted net income per share (diluted) is calculated as income (loss) from operations and net income per share (diluted) excluding the impact of restructuring and related costs. We believe that these measures provide useful information to investors and include them within our internal reporting to our chief operating decision maker. Accordingly, the discussion of our results of operations includes discussion on the changes in our adjusted income (loss) from operations and adjusted net income per share (diluted). The reconciliation of income (loss) from operations and net income per share (diluted) to adjusted income (loss) from operations and adjusted net income per share (diluted) is presented below (in thousands except per share data):
