NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. GENERAL

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) and all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (subsidiaries) and variable interest entities (VIEs) required to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto except for the update to our revenue recognition significant accounting policies discussed below. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year.

Update to Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are detailed in "Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) are discussed below:

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue upon the transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and amounts collected from customers for taxes, such as sales tax, and remitted to the applicable taxing authorities. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectibility of consideration is probable. We generally recognize revenue over time as we perform because of continuous transfer of control to our customers.

We generate revenue primarily through the lease, rental and maintenance of revenue earning equipment and by providing logistics management and dedicated services. We classify our revenues in the categories of lease and rental, services and fuel. Our lease and rental revenues are accounted for in accordance with existing lease guidance in Leases (Topic 840) and our services and fuel revenues are accounted for in accordance with revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606.

Lease and rental

Lease and rental includes ChoiceLease and commercial rental revenues from our Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment. We offer a full service lease as well as a lease with more flexible maintenance options under our ChoiceLease product line, which are marketed, priced and managed as bundled lease arrangements, and include equipment, service and financing components. We do not offer a stand-alone unbundled lease of new vehicles. For these reasons, both the lease and service components of our leases are included within lease and rental revenues.

ChoiceLease revenue is recognized in accordance with existing lease accounting guidance in Topic 840. Our ChoiceLease arrangements include lease deliverables such as the lease of a vehicle and the executory agreement for the maintenance, insurance, taxes and other services related to the leased vehicles during the lease term. Arrangement consideration is allocated between the lease deliverables and non-lease deliverables based on management's best estimate of the relative fair value of each deliverable. The arrangement consideration is accounted for pursuant to accounting guidance on leases. Our ChoiceLease arrangements provide for a fixed charge billing and a variable charge billing based on mileage or time usage. Fixed charges are typically billed at the beginning of the month for the services to be provided that month. Variable charges are typically billed a month in arrears.

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(unaudited)

Revenue from ChoiceLease and rental agreements is recognized based on the classification of the arrangement, typically as either an operating or direct financing lease (DFL).

The majority of our leases and all of our rental arrangements are classified as operating leases and, therefore, we recognize lease and commercial rental revenue on a straight-line basis as it becomes receivable over the term of the lease or rental arrangement. Lease and rental agreements do not usually provide for scheduled rent increases or escalations. However, most lease agreements allow for rate changes based upon changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). ChoiceLease and rental agreements also provide for vehicle usage charges based on a time charge and/or a fixed per-mile charge. The fixed time charge, the fixed per-mile charge and the changes in rates attributed to changes in the CPI are considered contingent rentals and are not considered fixed or determinable until the effect of CPI changes is implemented or the equipment usage occurs.

The non-lease components of our ChoiceLease arrangements include access to substitute vehicles, emergency road service, and safety services. These services are available to our customers throughout the lease term. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Leases not classified as operating leases are generally considered direct financing leases. We recognize revenue for direct financing leases using the effective interest method, which provides a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding investment on the lease. Cash receipts on impaired direct financing lease receivables are first applied to the direct financing lease receivable and then to any unrecognized income. A direct financing lease receivable is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the lease.

Services

Services include SelectCare and other revenues from our FMS business segment and all Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) and Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) revenues.

Under our SelectCare arrangements, we provide maintenance and repairs required to keep a vehicle in good operating condition, schedule preventive maintenance inspections and provide access to emergency road service and substitute vehicles. The vast majority of our services are routine services performed on a recurring basis throughout the term of the arrangement. From time to time, we provide non-routine major repair services in order to place a vehicle back in service.

Through our SelectCare product line, we provide maintenance services to customers who do not choose to lease vehicles from us. Our maintenance service arrangement provides for a monthly fixed charge and a monthly variable charge based on mileage or time usage. Fixed charges are typically billed at the beginning of the month for the services to be provided that month. Variable charges are typically billed a month in arrears. Most maintenance agreements allow for rate changes based upon changes in the CPI. The fixed per-mile charge and the changes in rates attributed to changes in the CPI are recognized as earned. Costs associated with the activities performed under our maintenance arrangements are primarily comprised of labor, parts and outside work. These costs are expensed as incurred. Non-chargeable maintenance costs have been allocated and reflected within “Cost of services” based on the proportionate maintenance-related labor costs relative to all product lines.

The maintenance service is the only performance obligation in SelectCare contracts. This single performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time for transactional maintenance services or over time for contract maintenance agreements. For contract maintenance agreements, the maintenance performance obligation represents a series of distinct maintenance services performed during the contract period as the services provided are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to our customers. Revenue from SelectCare contracts is recognized as maintenance services are rendered over the terms of the related arrangements. We generally account for long-term maintenance contracts as one-year contracts since our maintenance arrangements are generally cancelable, without penalty, after one year. As a practical expedient, we do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. For maintenance contracts that are longer than one year (i.e., not cancelable without penalty), the revenue we recognize corresponds directly with the value of service transferred to date. We measure the progress of transfer based on the costs incurred to provide the service to the customer. The amount that we have the right to invoice for services performed aligns with this measure. As a practical expedient, we do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for these contracts since the revenue recognized corresponds to the amount we have the right to invoice for services performed.

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(unaudited)

In our DTS business segment, we combine equipment, maintenance, drivers, administrative services and additional services to provide customers with a dedicated transportation solution. DTS transportation solutions are customized for our customers based on a transportation analysis to create a logistics design that includes the routing and scheduling of vehicles, the efficient use of vehicle capacity and overall asset utilization. In our SCS business, we offer a broad range of logistics management services designed to optimize the supply chain and address the key business requirements of our customers. SCS operates by industry verticals (Automotive, Technology and Healthcare, Consumer Packaged Goods and Retail, and Industrial) to enable our teams to focus on the specific needs of their customers. Our SCS services are supported by a variety of information technology and engineering solutions.

Revenues from DTS and SCS service contracts are recognized as services are rendered in accordance with contract terms, which typically include (1) fixed and variable billing rates, (2) cost-plus billing rates (based on actual costs incurred to perform services and a contracted mark-up), or (3) variable only or fixed only billing rates for the services. Our billing structure aligns with the value provided to our customers. As a practical expedient, we do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for these contracts since the revenue recognized corresponds to the amount we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Our customers contract with us to provide a significant service of integrating a set of transportation or supply chain logistical components into a single transportation or supply chain solution. Therefore, we typically account for DTS and SCS service contracts as one performance obligation satisfied over time. Less commonly, however, we may promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract, in which case we separate the contract into more than one performance obligation. If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. We infrequently sell standard products with observable standalone selling prices. More frequently, we sell a customized customer-specific solution, and in these cases we use the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.

Although not material to our financial statements, in certain contracts, a portion of the contract consideration may be contingent upon the satisfaction of performance criteria, attainment of pain/gain share thresholds or volume thresholds. The amount of contingent consideration included in the determination of the transaction price at the commencement of a contract is only included to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the initial estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known. In transportation management arrangements where we act as principal, revenue is reported on a gross basis, which includes third-party purchased transportation costs. To the extent that we are acting as an agent in the arrangement, revenue is reported net of purchased transportation costs.

Fuel

Fuel services include fuel services revenue from our FMS business segment. We provide our FMS customers with access to fuel at our maintenance facilities across the United States and Canada. Fuel services revenue is invoiced to customers at contracted rates, separate from other services being provided in other contracts, or at retail prices. Revenue from fuel services is recognized when fuel is delivered to customers. As a practical expedient, we do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for these contracts since the revenue recognized corresponds to the amount we have the right to invoice for services performed. Fuel is largely a pass-through to our customers, for which we realize minimal changes in profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by sudden increases or decreases in market fuel prices during a short period of time as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on trailing market fuel costs.

Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple services to a customer. Determining whether these services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Our DTS and SCS services depend on a significant level of integration and interdependency between the services provided within a contract. Judgment is required to determine whether each service is considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together as a significant integrated service and recognized over time. In making this judgment, we consider whether the services provided, within the context of the contract, represent the transfer of individual services or a combined bundle of services to the customer. This involves evaluating the promises to a customer

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(unaudited)

within a contract to identify the services that need to be performed in order for the transfer of control to occur. Since multiple services that occur at different points in time during a contract may be accounted for as an integrated service, judgment is required to assess the pattern of delivery to our customers.

Our judgments on collectibility are initially established when a business relationship with a customer is initiated and is continuously monitored as services are provided. We have a credit rating system based on internally developed standards and ratings provided by third parties. Our credit rating system, along with monitoring for delinquent payments, allows us to make decisions as to whether collectibility may not be reasonably assured. Factors considered during this process include historical payment trends, industry risks, liquidity of the customer, years in business, and judgments, liens or bankruptcies. When collectibility is not considered reasonably assured (typically when a customer is 120 days past due), revenue is not recognized until it is determined that the customer has the ability and intention to pay.

Contract Balances

We do not have material contract assets as we generally invoice customers as we perform services. Contract receivables are recorded in “Receivables, net” in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Payment terms vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 90 days. As a practical expedient, we do not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component as the period between the receipt of customer payment and the transfer of service to the customer is less than a year. Our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue. We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance, including amounts that are refundable. We classify deferred revenue as current as we expect to recognize this revenue within 12 months. Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of the performance obligation.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

Our incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which primarily consist of sales commissions and start-up costs, are deferred and amortized over the period of contract performance or a longer period, generally the estimated life of the customer relationship if renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission. We capitalize incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract that i) relate directly to the contract and ii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. This requires an evaluation of whether the costs are incremental and would not have occurred absent the customer contract.

The current and noncurrent portions of incremental costs to obtain and fulfill a contract are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Direct financing leases and other assets” respectively, in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Costs are amortized in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Income Taxes

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which permits - but does not require - companies to reclassify stranded tax effects caused by 2017 tax reform from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. Additionally, the ASU requires new disclosures by all companies, whether they opt to do the reclassification or not. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard using the aggregate portfolio approach and elected to reclassify $101 million of tax benefits resulting from the federal income tax rate change, net of associated state tax effect, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings as of the beginning of 2018. This standard did not impact our results of operations or cash flows.

Share-Based Compensation

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods,

beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard during the first quarter of 2018 and it did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Business Combinations

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The objective of the update is to add guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. Companies must use a prospective approach to adopt ASU 2017-01, which was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We prospectively adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018. The new standard did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements during the first or second quarter of 2018.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows, which clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance related to the statement of cash flows, which requires companies to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The standard was effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the standard during the first quarter of 2018. As a result of this update, restricted cash is included within cash and cash equivalents on our statements of consolidated cash flows. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $3 million and $5 million respectively, in prepaid expenses and other current assets associated with our like-kind exchange program for certain of our U.S. based revenue earning equipment.

Leases

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. The objective of this update is to increase stakeholder's awareness of the amendments and to expedite the improvements related to ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments to this update affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU No. 2016-02, which are not yet effective. We will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The standard requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases. This classification will determine whether the related expense will be recognized based on asset amortization and interest on the obligation or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of- use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. We do not expect the lessee requirements to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The new standard continues to require lessors to separate the lease component from the non-lease component; however, it provides clarification on the scope of non-lease components (e.g., maintenance services). The new standard also provides more guidance on how to identify and separate the components. The lease component will be accounted for using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The non-lease component will be accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition guidance, see below section "Revenue Recognition." The adoption of the new lease standard will primarily impact our ChoiceLease product line, which includes a vehicle lease as well as maintenance and other services related to the vehicle. We will generally continue to recognize revenue for the lease portion of the product line on a straight-line basis. Revenue from maintenance services will be recognized consistent with the timing pattern of maintenance costs, which will generally require the deferral of some portion of the

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(unaudited)

customer's lease payments when received, as maintenance costs are typically not incurred evenly over the life of a ChoiceLease contract.

We will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, we will record a cumulative-effect adjustment to recognize deferred revenue related to the maintenance services on the opening balance sheet for 2017 and restate all prior periods presented (2017 and 2018). We expect the cumulative-effect adjustment will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position. We continue to evaluate the impact of adoption of this standard on our results of operations. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on our cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which together with related, subsequently issued guidance, requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. In addition, Topic 606 requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We adopted Topic 606 in the first quarter of 2018 using the full retrospective method, which required us to restate each prior reporting period presented.

Upon adoption of Topic 606, we applied the standard’s practical expedient that permits the omission of disclosures of the prior period allocation of the transaction price to remaining performance obligations and an explanation of when the entity expects to recognize that amount as revenue.

Adoption of the new revenue recognition standard impacted our previously reported Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income results as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Amount includes $5 million and $16 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, related to correction of a prior period error. We historically accounted for certain freight brokerage agreements as a principal and presented revenue and costs related to subcontracted transportation on a gross basis in our financial statements. In adopting Topic 606, we reviewed and evaluated our existing revenue contracts and determined that certain of our freight brokerage agreements should have historically been presented on a net basis as an agent. We evaluated the materiality of this revision, quantitatively and qualitatively. We concluded it was not material to any of our previously issued consolidated financial statements and correction as an out of period adjustment in the current period was not material.

3. ACQUISITIONS

On April 2, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding equity of MXD Group, Inc. (MXD), an e-commerce fulfillment provider with a national network of facilities, including last mile delivery capabilities, for a purchase price of approximately $120 million. The acquisition is included in our SCS business segment. We acquired MXD to build the foundation of e-fulfillment and final mile capabilities for our e-commerce business.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred acquisition transaction costs of $0.7 million related to the purchase that are reflected within "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. The following table provides the preliminary purchase price allocation to the assets and the liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the MXD acquisition.



	(In thousands)
Assets:
Operating property and equipment	$	11,903
Goodwill	70,529
Customer relationships and other intangibles	37,551
Other assets, primarily accounts receivable	32,492
	152,475
Liabilities:
Accrued liabilities	(18,108		)
Deferred income taxes	(9,610		)
Other liabilities, primarily accounts payable	(5,053		)
Net assets acquired	$	119,704

The excess of the purchase consideration over the aggregate estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized reflects e-commerce growth opportunities, opportunities to cross-sell with our existing customer base and expected cost synergies of combining MXD with our business. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Customer relationship intangible assets are expected to be amortized over 14 years.

The results of operations of MXD were not material to our results of operations and therefore pro forma financial information for the acquisition was not presented.

On June 15, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding equity of Metro Truck & Tractor Leasing (Metro), a full service leasing, rental and maintenance company for a purchase price of approximately $53 million. The acquisition is included in our FMS business segment. We acquired Metro to expand our presence in the Baltimore, Maryland area. The preliminary purchase accounting for this acquisition resulted in $3 million of the purchase price allocated to customer relationships and other intangible assets, $19 million allocated to tangible assets net of liabilities assumed and the remaining $30 million represents goodwill. The goodwill recognized reflects expected cost synergies and operational improvements in the combined companies and expected growth opportunities with Metro's current customers and prospects in the Maryland market. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. This allocation is subject to change as the Company finalizes purchase accounting. Transaction costs related to the acquisition were $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and were reflected within "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

The assets, liabilities and results of operations of Metro were not material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations and therefore pro forma financial information for the acquisition was not presented.

The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions of both MXD and Metro are preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. We believe that we have sufficient information to provide a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed; however, we are currently obtaining additional information which will be necessary to finalize our estimate of fair values. Therefore, the preliminary measurements of estimated fair values reflected are subject to change. We expect to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase consideration allocation no later than one year from the acquisition date. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to fixed assets, income and non-income taxes, the valuation of intangible assets acquired and residual goodwill, as well as certain contingent liabilities. The preliminary amounts assigned to intangible assets by type for the MXD and Metro acquisitions are based on our preliminary valuation model.

Trade receivables were $882 million and $899 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Impairment losses on receivables were not material during the second quarters of 2018 and 2017.

Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Changes in contract liabilities are due to our performance under the contract. The amount of revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2018 that was included within deferred revenue at January 1, 2018 was $10.5 million.

We lease revenue earning equipment to customers for periods typically ranging from three to seven years for trucks and tractors and up to ten years for trailers. The majority of our leases are classified as operating leases. However, some of our revenue earning equipment leases are classified as direct financing leases and, to a lesser extent, sales-type leases. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the net investment in direct financing and sales-type leases was $453 million and $447 million, respectively. Our direct financing lease customers operate in a wide variety of industries, and we have no significant customer concentrations in any one industry. We assess credit risk for all of our customers including those who lease equipment under direct financing leases prior to signing a ChoiceLease contract. For those customers who are designated as high risk, we typically require deposits to be paid in advance in order to mitigate our credit risk. Additionally, our receivables are collateralized by the vehicles, which further mitigates our credit risk.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amount of direct financing lease receivables past due was not significant, and there were no impaired receivables. Accordingly, we do not believe there is a material risk of default with respect to the direct financing lease receivables.

Revenue earning equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses on vehicles held for sale for which carrying values exceeded fair value are recognized at the time they arrive at our used truck sales centers and are presented within “Used vehicle sales, net” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, we stratify our fleet by vehicle type (trucks, tractors and trailers), weight class, age and other relevant characteristics and create classes of similar assets for analysis purposes. For a certain population of our revenue earning equipment held for sale, fair value was determined based upon recent market prices obtained from our own sales experience for sales of each class of similar assets and vehicle condition. Expected declines in market prices were also considered when valuing the vehicles held for sale. These vehicles held for sale were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents our assets held for sale that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and considered a Level 3 fair value measurement:

On October 1, 2017, we completed our annual goodwill impairment test and determined there was no impairment. However, based on market conditions impacting our FMS Europe reporting unit's financial performance in the first quarter of 2018, we performed an interim impairment test as of March 31, 2018. Based on our analysis, we determined that all goodwill associated with our FMS Europe reporting unit was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $16 million. The impairment charge was recorded within “Restructuring and other charges, net” in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

8. INCOME TAXES

Tax Law Changes

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code and it will take time to fully interpret the changes. The Act significantly impacted 2018 earnings, and will impact earnings in future periods; however, we have not fully completed the accounting under Income Taxes (Topic 740) for certain of the Act’s new provisions. In accordance with Topic 740, to the extent the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Act was incomplete, but we were able to determine a reasonable estimate of those effects, a provisional amount (“provisional amount”) has been included in our financial statements. Conversely, where a reasonable estimate of the tax effects of the Act cannot be determined, no related provisional amounts have been included in the financial statements. We intend to adjust the tax effects for the relevant items during the allowed 2018 measurement period.

The Act also requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on unremitted earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that had not been subject to U.S. income tax and creates new taxes on certain foreign earnings. We included a $33 million provisional estimate for the transition tax in the December 31, 2017, financial statements. On April 2, 2018, the Internal Revenue Service issued Notice 2018-26, which required us to increase the provisional estimate related to the one-time transition tax. We estimated the additional tax provision to be approximately $29 million. The transition tax estimate will be further adjusted during the second half of 2018 as we refine our determination of historical earnings and profits and the amount of cash and cash equivalents held in foreign entities.

As of June 30, 2018, we have alternative minimum tax (AMT) credit carryforwards of $24 million, which do not expire and can be used to offset regular income taxes in future years. Under the Act, the AMT was repealed and taxpayers may claim a refund of 50% of their remaining AMT credit carryforwards (to the extent the credits exceed regular tax for the year) in 2018, 2019 and 2020. Any AMT credits remaining after 2020 will be refunded in 2021. Pursuant to the requirements of the Balanced

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(unaudited)

Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, refundable AMT credits may be subject to sequestration, which is currently 6.2% for refunds after 2019, and during the first quarter of 2018, the Internal Revenue Service clarified sequestration would apply to refundable AMT credits under the Act. We reclassified our credits to a receivable and recorded a charge of $1 million to account for the sequestration reduction. The reclassification and provision for sequestration are adjustments to provisional estimates of the tax effects of the Act.

Uncertain Tax Positions

We are subject to tax audits in numerous jurisdictions in the U.S. and foreign countries. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. In the normal course of business, we are subject to challenges from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other tax authorities regarding amounts of taxes due. These challenges may alter the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions, or the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. As part of our calculation of the provision for income taxes on earnings, we recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions that are at least more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Such calculations require management to make estimates and judgments with respect to the ultimate outcome of a tax audit. Actual results could vary materially from these estimates. We reevaluate uncertain tax positions each quarter based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, expiration of statutes of limitations, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Depending on the jurisdiction, such a change in recognition or measurement may result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period.

The following is a summary of tax years that are no longer subject to examination:

Federal — audits of our U.S. federal income tax returns are closed through fiscal year 2008.

State — for the majority of states, tax returns are closed through fiscal year 2011 with the exception of states with net operating loss carryforwards that are generally closed through 1997.

Foreign — we are no longer subject to foreign tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2010 in Canada, 2012 in Brazil, 2013 in Mexico and 2013 in the U.K., which are our major foreign tax jurisdictions.

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalties, excluding the federal benefit on state issues) was $66 million and $68 million, respectively. During the first quarter of 2018, we determined that reserves for certain uncertain tax positions should have been reversed in prior periods when the statutes of limitations expired. As the amounts were not material to our consolidated financial statements in any individual period, and the cumulative amount is not material to 2018 results, we recognized a one-time $3 million benefit in our provision for income taxes related to this reversal.

Effective Tax Rate

Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2018 and first half of 2018 were 55.7% and 47.1%, respectively, compared with 36.4% in both the second quarter and first half of 2017. The increase primarily reflects an additional tax provision recorded to adjust the provisional estimate for the one-time transition tax, partially offset by a lower federal tax rate due to the Act.

(1)	Amounts are net of unamortized original issue discounts of $8 million and $6 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.


(2)	Asset-backed U.S. obligations are related to financing transactions involving revenue earning equipment.


(3)	The notional amount of the executed interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $825 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

We maintain a $1.2 billion global revolving credit facility with a syndicate of twelve lending institutions led by Bank of America N.A., Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., BNP Paribas, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., Royal Bank of Canada, Lloyds Bank Plc, U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The facility matures in January 2020. The agreement provides for annual facility fees that range from 7.5 basis points to 25 basis points based on Ryder's long-term credit ratings. The annual facility fee is currently 10 basis points, which applies to the total facility size of $1.2 billion.

The credit facility is used primarily to finance working capital but can also be used to issue up to $75 million in letters of credit (there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility at June 30, 2018). At our option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on LIBOR, prime, federal funds or local equivalent rates. The credit facility contains no provisions limiting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to Ryder’s business operations; however, the credit facility does contain standard representations and warranties, events of default, cross-default provisions and certain affirmative and negative covenants.

In order to maintain availability of funding, we must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated net worth of less than or equal to 300%. Net worth, as defined in the credit facility, represents shareholders' equity excluding any accumulated other comprehensive income or loss associated with our pension and other postretirement plans. The ratio at June 30, 2018 was 172%. At June 30, 2018, there was $588 million available under the credit facility.

Our global revolving credit facility enables us to refinance short-term obligations on a long-term basis. Short-term commercial paper obligations not required for working capital needs are classified as long-term as we have both the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis. In addition, we have the intent and ability to refinance the current portion of certain

long-term debt on a long-term basis. At June 30, 2018, we classified $567 million of short-term commercial paper, $300 million of the current portion of long-term debt and $50 million of short-term debt as long-term debt. At December 31, 2017, we classified $570 million of short-term commercial paper and $16 million of the current portion of long-term debt as long-term debt.

In June 2018, we issued $450 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in June 2023. In February 2018, we issued $450 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in March 2023. The proceeds from these notes were used to pay off maturing debt and for general corporate purposes. If these notes are downgraded below investment grade following, and as a result of, a change in control, the note holders can require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of principal value plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In June 2018, we received $100 million from financing transactions backed by a portion of our revenue earning equipment.

The proceeds from these transactions were used for general corporate purposes. We have provided end of term guarantees for the residual value of the revenue earning equipment in these transactions. The transaction proceeds, along with the end of term residual value guarantees, have been included within "asset-backed U.S. obligations" in the preceding table.

We have a trade receivables purchase and sale program, pursuant to which we sell certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to a bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiary of Ryder, that in turn sells, on a revolving basis, an ownership interest in certain of these accounts receivable to a committed purchaser. The subsidiary is considered a VIE and is consolidated based on our control of the entity’s activities. We use this program to provide additional liquidity to fund our operations, particularly when it is cost effective to do so. The costs under the program may vary based on changes in interest rates. The available proceeds that may be received under the program increased from $175 million to $225 million during the second quarter of 2018. If no event occurs which causes early termination, the 364-day program will expire on June 12, 2019. The program contains provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations or the collectibility of the collateralized receivables. Sales of receivables under this program are accounted for as secured borrowings based on our continuing involvement in the transferred assets. No amounts were outstanding under the program at June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding totaling $351 million and $350 million, respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.

The fair value of total debt (excluding capital lease and asset-backed U.S. obligations) at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was approximately $5.41 billion and $4.95 billion, respectively. For publicly-traded debt, estimates of fair value were based on market prices. For other debt, fair value was estimated based on a model-driven approach using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair value measurements of our publicly-traded debt and other debt were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for “Cash and cash equivalents,” “Receivables, net” and “Accounts payable” approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

10. DERIVATIVES

From time to time, we enter into interest rate derivatives to manage our fixed and variable interest rate exposure and to better match the repricing of debt instruments to that of our portfolio of assets. We assess the risk that changes in interest rates will have either on the fair value of debt obligations or on the amount of future interest payments by monitoring changes in interest rate exposures and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We regularly monitor interest rate risk attributable to both our outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as any offsetting hedge positions. This risk management process involves the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analyses, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on our future cash flows.

As of June 30, 2018, we had interest rate swaps outstanding that are designated as fair value hedges for certain debt obligations, with a total notional value of $825 million and maturities through 2020. Interest rate swaps are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 fair value inputs. The fair value of these interest rate swaps was a liability of $16 million and $7 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The amounts are presented in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" and "Other non-current liabilities" in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps were offset by changes in the fair value of the hedged debt instruments. Accordingly, there was no ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swaps.

As of June 30, 2018, we had an interest rate swap outstanding that was designated as a cash flow hedge for a certain debt obligation, with a total notional value of $15 million and maturity through 2021. The interest rate swap is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 fair value inputs. The fair value of this interest rate swap was not material as of June 30, 2018. The amounts are presented in "Other non-current liabilities" in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is reported in other comprehensive income. The amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings when the related interest payments affect earnings. There was no ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swap.

11. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

In December 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans (the program). Under the program, management is authorized to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of common stock, the sum of which will not exceed the number of shares issued to employees under the Company’s employee stock plans from December 31, 2017 to December 13, 2019. Share repurchases of common stock are made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management may establish prearranged written plans for the Company under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the program, which allow for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, we repurchased approximately 234,000 shares for $17.2 million and 828,000 shares for $58.2 million, respectively.

14. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Share-based incentive awards are provided to employees under the terms of various share-based compensation plans (collectively, the “Plans”). The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and principally include at-the-money stock options, unvested stock and cash awards. Unvested stock awards include grants of market-based, performance-based and time-vested restricted stock rights. Under the terms of our Plans, dividends are not paid unless the stock award vests. Upon vesting, the amount of the dividends paid is equal to the aggregate dividends declared on common shares during the period from the grant date of the award until the date the shares underlying the award are delivered.

16. OTHER ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY

Our primary measure of segment performance as shown in Note 19, "Segment Reporting," excludes certain items we do not believe are representative of the ongoing operations of the segment. Excluding these items from our segment measure of performance allows for better year over year comparison:



	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
	(In thousands)
Restructuring and other, net	$	3,615	(2,574	)	$	3,896	(2,574	)

————————————


(1)	Refer to Note 6, "Goodwill ," for additional information.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the below items were recorded in "Restructuring and other, net":


•	In the second quarter of 2018, we committed to a plan to shutdown our Singapore business operations and recognized employee termination costs of $3 million. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges related to exiting Singapore business operations, but we do not expect these charges to be material to our financial statements.


•	In the second quarter of 2018, we recorded a net restructuring credit of $1 million related to (i) gains on the sale of certain U.K. facilities that were closed as part of our December 2017 restructuring activities and (ii) adjustments to the restructuring accrual recorded as of December 31, 2017, partially offset by professional fees.


•	During the first quarter of 2018, we recorded restructuring and other charges of $0.5 million, primarily related to professional fees and adjustments to the restructuring accrual recorded as of December 31, 2017.


•	During the second quarter and the first half of 2018, we recorded acquisition transaction costs and restructuring charges of $2 million related to the acquisitions of MXD and Metro.


•	During the second quarter of 2017, we realized restructuring credits of $3 million related to the gains on sale of certain U.K. facilities that were closed as part of our December 2016 restructuring activities.

During the first quarter of 2017, we determined that certain operating tax expenses related to prior periods had not been recognized in prior period earnings. We recorded a one-time charge of $2 million within “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in our Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings as the impact of the adjustment was not material to our consolidated condensed financial statements in any individual prior period, and the cumulative amount was not material to the first quarter 2017 results.

17. OTHER MATTERS

We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our continuing business operations including, but not limited to, those relating to commercial and employment claims, environmental matters, risk management matters (e.g., vehicle liability, workers’ compensation, etc.) and administrative assessments primarily associated with operating taxes. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. We believe that the resolution of these claims, complaints and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.

18. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Supplemental cash flow information was as follows:

19. SEGMENT REPORTING

Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. We report our financial performance in three business segments: (1) FMS, which provides leasing, commercial rental and maintenance of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) DTS, which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S.; and (3) SCS, which provides comprehensive supply chain solutions including distribution and transportation services in North America and Singapore. Dedicated transportation services provided as part of an integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution to SCS customers are reported in the SCS business segment.

Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as segment “Earnings Before Tax” (EBT) from continuing operations, includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes non-operating pension costs and the restructuring and other items, net discussed in Note 16, "Other Items Impacting Comparability." CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services, public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal, marketing and corporate communications. The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included among the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation. CSS costs attributable to the business segments are predominantly allocated to FMS, DTS and SCS as follows:

•Finance, corporate services, and health and safety — allocated based upon estimated and planned resource utilization;

•Human resources — individual costs within this category are allocated under various methods, including allocation based on estimated utilization and number of personnel supported;

•Information technology — principally allocated based upon utilization-related metrics such as number of users or minutes of CPU time. Customer-related project costs and expenses are allocated to the business segment responsible for the project; and

•Other — represents legal and other centralized costs and expenses including certain share-based incentive compensation costs. Expenses, where allocated, are based primarily on the number of personnel supported.

Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment and provides fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the DTS and SCS segments. Inter-segment revenue and EBT are accounted for at rates similar to those executed with third parties. EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to DTS and SCS customers (equipment contribution) are included in both FMS and the segment that served the customer and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations”).

The following tables set forth financial information for each of our segments and provide a reconciliation between segment EBT and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Prior period segment EBT amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications were immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto included under Item 1. In addition, reference should be made to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) is a global leader in transportation and supply chain management solutions. We report our financial performance based on three segments: (1) FMS, which provides leasing, commercial rental, and maintenance of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) DTS, which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S.; and (3) SCS, which provides comprehensive supply chain solutions including distribution and transportation services in North America and Singapore. Dedicated transportation services provided as part of an integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution to SCS customers are reported in the SCS business segment.

We operate in highly competitive markets. Our customers select us based on numerous factors including service quality, price, technology and service offerings. As an alternative to using our services, customers may choose to provide these services for themselves, or may choose to obtain similar or alternative services from other third-party vendors. Our customer base includes enterprises operating in a variety of industries including food and beverage service, transportation and warehousing, automotive, retail and consumer goods, industrial, housing, technology, and business and personal services.

This MD&A includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this MD&A for information on the non-GAAP measures included in the MD&A, reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP financial measure and the reasons why we believe each measure is useful to investors.

Total revenue and operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) increased 17% and 11%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2018. For the first half of 2018, total revenue increased 13% and operating revenue increased 9%. Total and operating revenue increased in both periods due to new business and higher volumes. Total and operating revenue growth in the second quarter of 2018 also reflects the acquisition of MXD. Total revenue also grew in both periods from higher fuel costs passed through to customers.

EBT increased 22% and 3% in the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, reflecting higher operating results in all segments. The increase in the first half of 2018 was partially offset by a first quarter goodwill impairment charge of $16 million associated with our FMS Europe reporting unit.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Lease and Rental



	Three months ended June 30,					Six months ended June 30,					Change 2018/2017
	2018			2017		2018			2017		Three months		Six months

Gross margin %	26		%	27	%	25		%	26	%

Lease and rental revenues represent revenues from our ChoiceLease and commercial rental product offerings within our FMS segment. Revenues increased 8% in both the second quarter and in the first half of 2018, driven by ChoiceLease fleet growth, stronger commercial rental demand and higher pricing on lease replacement and rental vehicles.

Cost of lease and rental represents the direct costs related to lease and rental revenues. These costs consist of depreciation of revenue earning equipment, maintenance costs (primarily repair parts and labor), and other costs such as licenses, insurance and operating taxes. Cost of lease and rental excludes interest costs from vehicle financing. Cost of lease and rental increased 10% in the second quarter and 9% in the first half of 2018, primarily due to higher depreciation and maintenance costs from larger average lease and rental fleets (3% and 9% higher in the second quarter, respectively). Cost of lease and rental also increased by approximately $10 million in the second quarter and $20 million in the first half of 2018, due to higher depreciation as a result of changes in estimated residual values effective January 1, 2018.

Lease and rental gross margin increased 1% in the second quarter and increased 5% in the first half of 2018. Lease and rental gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 26% in the second quarter and decreased to 25% in the first half of 2018. The increase in gross margin dollars in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to increased commercial rental utilization, reflecting stronger demand. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue reflects higher depreciation and maintenance costs, partially offset by higher commercial rental utilization.

Services



	Three months ended June 30,					Six months ended June 30,					Change 2018/2017
	2018			2017		2018			2017		Three months		Six months

Gross margin %	16		%	16	%	15		%	16	%

Services revenue represents all the revenues associated with our DTS and SCS segments, as well as SelectCare and fleet support services associated with our FMS segment. Services revenue increased 24% in the second quarter and increased 17% in the first half of 2018, primarily due to new business and increased volumes in SCS and DTS, the acquisition of MXD in SCS, increased volumes in SelectCare in the FMS segment and higher pricing in SCS. Services revenue also benefited from higher fuel prices passed through to our DTS and SCS customers.

Cost of services represents the direct costs related to services revenue and is primarily comprised of salaries and employee-related costs, subcontracted transportation (purchased transportation from third parties), fuel, vehicle liability costs and maintenance costs. Cost of services increased 24% in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 18% in the first half of 2018, due to higher volumes and higher fuel costs in SCS and DTS and higher vehicle maintenance costs in DTS, partially offset by lower insurance costs in SCS and DTS.

Services gross margin increased 22% in the second quarter and increased 12% in the first half of 2018. Service gross margin as a percentage of revenue remained at 16% in the second quarter and declined to 15% in the first half of 2018. The increase

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

in gross margin dollars reflects benefits from higher pricing in SCS. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the first half of 2018 reflects lower performance in a customer account as well as higher vehicle maintenance costs in DTS.

Fuel



	Three months ended June 30,					Six months ended June 30,					Change 2018/2017
	2018			2017		2018			2017		Three months		Six months

Cost of fuel services	155,551			121,604		302,454			247,454		28	%	22	%
Gross margin	3,439			3,569		7,606			6,425		(4	)%	18	%
Gross margin %	2		%	3	%	2		%	3	%

Fuel services revenue represents fuel services provided to our FMS customers. Fuel services revenue increased 27% in the second quarter and increased 22% in the first half of 2018, due to higher fuel costs passed through to customers.

Cost of fuel services includes the direct costs associated with providing our customers with fuel. These costs include fuel, salaries and employee-related costs of fuel island attendants and depreciation of our fueling facilities and equipment. Cost of fuel services increased 28% in the second quarter and increased 22% in the first half of 2018 as a result of higher fuel costs.

Fuel services gross margin decreased 4% in the second quarter and increased 18% in the first half of 2018. Fuel services gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 2% in both the second quarter of 2018 and in the first half of 2018. Fuel is largely a pass-through to customers for which we realize minimal changes in margin during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, fuel services margin is impacted by sudden increases or decreases in market fuel prices during a short period of time, as customer pricing for fuel is established based on trailing market fuel costs. Fuel services gross margin in the second quarter of 2018 was negatively impacted by these price change dynamics as fuel prices fluctuated during the period.

Used vehicle sales, net includes gains from sales of used vehicles, selling costs associated with used vehicles and write-downs of vehicles to fair market values. Used vehicle sales, net improved to a $6 million loss in the second quarter of 2018, and $13 million loss in the first half of 2018, primarily due to higher inventory adjustments in the prior year, partially offset by lower gains from sales of used vehicles due to the mix and volume of units sold in the current year. Global average proceeds per unit in the second quarter and in the first half of 2018, increased for both tractors and trucks.

The following table presents the used vehicle pricing changes for the second quarter of 2018 and in the first half of 2018 compared with the prior year:

Interest expense increased 22% in the second quarter of 2018 and 15% in the first half of 2018, reflecting a higher effective interest rate and higher average outstanding debt. The higher effective interest rate in 2018 reflects the impact of a rising interest rate environment over the last twelve months. The increase in average outstanding debt reflects higher planned vehicle capital spending and acquisitions.

(1)	Non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this MD&A for a reconciliation of total revenue to operating revenue, and segment total revenue to segment operating revenue for FMS, DTS and SCS, as well as the reasons why management believes these measures are important to investors.

As part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, we define the primary measurement of our segment financial performance as “Earnings Before Taxes” (EBT) from continuing operations, which includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS), and excludes non-operating pension costs and restructuring and other items, net discussed in Note 16, "Other Items Impacting Comparability," in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. CSS represents those costs incurred to support all segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services and public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal, marketing and corporate communications.

The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Certain costs are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation. See Note 19, "Segment Reporting," in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a description of the methodology for allocating the remainder of CSS costs to the business segments.

Inter-segment revenue and EBT are accounted for at rates similar to those executed with third parties. EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to DTS and SCS customers (equipment contribution) are included in both FMS and the segment that served the customer and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations” in the table above). Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The increase in DTS and SCS equipment contribution for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, is primarily driven by higher volumes and pricing. For DTS, the increase during the first half of 2018 was partially offset by higher maintenance costs on an older vehicle fleet used in DTS operations.

(1)	Non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of FMS total revenue to FMS operating revenue as well as the reasons why management believes this measure is important to investors is included in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.

FMS total revenue increased to $1.30 billion in the second quarter and increased to $2.54 billion the first half of 2018, due to higher operating revenue and higher fuel costs passed through to customers. FMS operating revenue in the second quarter increased to $1.08 billion and increased to $2.12 billion in the first half of 2018 from the prior year periods primarily from growth in the ChoiceLease and commercial rental product lines.

ChoiceLease revenue increased 6% in the second quarter and increased 5% in the first half of 2018, reflecting a larger average fleet size and higher prices on replacement vehicles. We expect favorable ChoiceLease revenue comparisons to continue through the end of the year based on strong sales activity. Commercial rental revenue increased 17% in both the second quarter and the first half of 2018, due to higher demand and higher pricing. We expect favorable commercial rental revenue comparisons through the end of the year based on a stronger demand environment. Fuel services revenue increased 30% and 25% in the second quarter and the first half of 2018, primarily reflecting higher fuel costs passed through to customers. SelectCare revenue increased 7% in both the second quarter and the first half of 2018 due to increased volumes.

(2)	Number of units rounded to nearest hundred and calculated using quarterly average unit counts.


(3)	Excluding trailers.

FMS EBT increased 7% in the second quarter, primarily reflecting higher commercial rental and used vehicle sales results. Commercial rental performance improved due to increased utilization reflecting stronger demand and higher pricing. Rental power fleet utilization was 79.4% for the second quarter, up 380 basis points from the prior year. Favorable used vehicle sales comparisons primarily reflect higher inventory valuation adjustments in the prior year. Lease results benefited from fleet growth as vehicles from recent record sales activity began to be placed into service. These results were offset by higher depreciation of $10 million due to vehicle residual value changes and by higher maintenance costs on certain older model year vehicles.

FMS EBT increased 2% in the first half of 2018, reflecting higher commercial rental results, partially offset by overhead spending reflecting the timing of spending, including commissions and investments in sales, marketing and technology to fund growth, and unfavorable self-insurance developments. Commercial rental performance improved due to increased utilization reflecting stronger demand and higher pricing. Commercial rental utilization increased 570 bps to 77.1% in the first half of 2018. Used vehicle sales comparisons in the first half of 2018, primarily reflect higher inventory valuation adjustments in the prior year, partially offset by lower gains from sales of used vehicles due to the mix and volume of units sold. ChoiceLease results benefited from fleet growth. ChoiceLease and commercial rental results were negatively impacted by $20 million of higher depreciation in the first half of 2018, due to residual value changes implemented January 1, 2018, and by higher maintenance costs on certain older model vehicles.

NYE units represent new vehicles on hand that are being prepared for deployment to a lease customer or into the rental fleet. Preparations include activities such as adding lift gates, paint, decals, cargo area and refrigeration equipment. NYE units increased 56% compared to June 30, 2017, reflecting lease fleet growth. NLE units represent vehicles held for sale and vehicles for which no revenue has been earned in the previous 30 days. Accordingly, these vehicles may be temporarily out of service, being prepared for sale or awaiting redeployment. NLE units decreased 2% compared to June 30, 2017, reflecting lower used vehicle inventories and a lower number of units being prepared for sale. We expect NLE levels to increase slightly through the end of the year as a result of higher expected used vehicle inventories driven by the lease vehicle replacement cycle.

DTS total revenue increased 21% second quarter and 17% in the first half of 2018, reflecting increased subcontracted transportation resulting from new business, higher operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) and higher fuel costs passed through to customers. DTS operating revenue increased 7% and 6% in the second quarter and the first half of 2018, respectively, due to increased volumes and new business. We expect revenue comparisons to remain favorable through the end of the year based on strong sales activity. DTS EBT increased 25% in the second quarter and 21% in the first half of 2018, due to revenue growth and improved operating performance.

SCS total revenue increased 30% in the second quarter and 20% in the first half of 2018, reflecting higher operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation), the acquisition of MXD during the second quarter and increased subcontracted transportation. SCS operating revenue increased 20% in the second quarter and 13% in the first half of 2018, reflecting new business, the MXD acquisition and increased volumes. We expect favorable revenue comparisons to continue through the end of the year.

SCS EBT increased 45% in the second quarter, driven by revenue growth and better operating results, including improved performance on new account startups. SCS EBT increased 18% in the first half of 2018, driven by revenue growth and lower insurance costs. SCS EBT was partially offset by lower performance in one customer account in both periods.

Cash provided by operating activities increased to $820 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared with $732 million in 2017, reflecting higher earnings excluding for non-cash items, primarily depreciation and deferred tax expense. Cash provided by financing activities was $519 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared with cash used in financing activities of $122 million in 2017, due to higher borrowing needs. Cash used in investing activities increased to $1.35 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared with $616 million in 2017, primarily due to increased payments for capital expenditures.

The following table provides a summary of capital expenditures:



	Six months ended June 30,
	2018			2017
	(In thousands)
Revenue earning equipment:
ChoiceLease	$	844,010		673,332

Cash paid for purchases of property and revenue earning equipment	$	1,421,301		855,252

Capital expenditures increased 60% to $1.50 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2018, reflecting planned higher investments in the ChoiceLease and commercial rental fleets. We expect full-year 2018 capital expenditures to be approximately $3.1 billion. We expect to fund 2018 capital expenditures primarily with internally generated funds and additional debt financing.

Financing and Other Funding Transactions

We utilize external capital primarily to support working capital needs and growth in our asset-based product lines. The variety of debt financing alternatives typically available to fund our capital needs include commercial paper, long-term and medium-term public and private debt, asset-backed securities, bank term loans, leasing arrangements and bank credit facilities. Our principal sources of financing are issuances of commercial paper and medium-term notes.

Our ability to access unsecured debt in the capital markets is impacted by both our short-term and long-term debt ratings. These ratings are intended to provide guidance to investors in determining the credit risk associated with particular Ryder securities based on current information obtained by the rating agencies from us or from other sources. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs, as well as reduced access to unsecured capital markets. A significant downgrade of our short-term debt ratings would impair our ability to issue commercial paper and likely require us to rely on alternative funding sources. A significant downgrade would not affect our ability to borrow amounts under our revolving credit facility described below, assuming ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit facility.

Our debt ratings and rating outlooks at June 30, 2018, were as follows:



	Rating Summary
	Short-Term	Long-Term	Outlook
Fitch Ratings	F-2	A-	Stable
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services	A-2	BBB+	Stable
Moody’s Investors Service	P-2	Baa1	Stable

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $74 million as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, approximately $40 million was held outside the U.S. and is available to fund operations and other growth of non-U.S. subsidiaries. If we decide to repatriate cash and cash equivalents held outside the U.S., we may be subject to additional income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. However, our intent is to permanently reinvest these foreign amounts outside the U.S. and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate these foreign amounts to fund our U.S. operations.

We believe that our operating cash flows, together with our access to the public unsecured bond market, commercial paper market and other available debt financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that unanticipated volatility and disruption in the public unsecured debt market or the commercial paper market would not impair our ability to access these markets on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all. If we cease to have access to public bonds, commercial paper and other sources of unsecured borrowings, we would meet our liquidity needs by drawing upon contractually committed lending agreements and/or by seeking other funding sources.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

As of June 30, 2018, we had the following amounts available to fund operations under the following facilities:



	(In millions)
Global revolving credit facility	$588
Trade receivables program	$225

See Note 9, "Debt", in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of these debt facilities.

Total changes in debt	568,274			(6,431	)
	$	5,977,925		5,384,844

In accordance with our funding philosophy, we attempt to align the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our debt with the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our assets. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to achieve this alignment and generally target a mix of 20% - 40% variable-rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. The variable-rate portion of our total debt (including notional value of swap agreements) was 28% and 31% as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Refer to Note 9, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further discussion around the global revolving credit facility, the trade receivables program, the issuance of medium-term notes under our shelf registration statement, asset-backed financing obligations and debt maturities.

Ryder’s debt to equity ratios were 210% and 191% as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The debt to equity ratio represents total debt divided by total equity.

Pension Information

The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of certain market interest rates. We review pension assumptions regularly and we may, from time to time, make voluntary contributions to our pension plans, which exceed the amounts required by statute. In 2018, the expected total contributions to our pension plans are approximately $28 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we contributed $19 million to our pension plans. Changes in interest rates and the market value of the securities held by the plans during 2018 could materially change, positively or negatively, the funded status of the plans and affect the level of pension expense and contributions in 2018 and beyond. See Note 15, “Employee Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

Share Repurchases and Cash Dividends

See Note 11, “Share Repurchase Programs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of share repurchases.

In May 2018, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.52 per share of common stock. In July 2018, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.54 per share of common stock.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes information extracted from consolidated condensed financial information but not required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be presented in the financial statements. Certain elements of this information are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by SEC rules. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. Also, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to financial measures used by other companies. We provide a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure in this non-GAAP financial measures section. We also provide the reasons why management believes each non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in this section.

Specifically, we refer to the following non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q:



Non-GAAP Financial Measure	Comparable GAAP Measure
Operating Revenue Measures:
Operating Revenue	Total Revenue
FMS Operating Revenue	FMS Total Revenue
DTS Operating Revenue	DTS Total Revenue
SCS Operating Revenue	SCS Total Revenue
FMS EBT as a % of FMS Operating Revenue	FMS EBT as a % of FMS Total Revenue
DTS EBT as a % of DTS Operating Revenue	DTS EBT as a % of DTS Total Revenue

Comparable EPS	EPS from Continuing Operations
Cash Flow Measures:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

Set forth in the table below is an explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure and why management believes that presentation of each non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors:



Operating Revenue Measures:
Operating Revenue FMS Operating Revenue DTS Operating Revenue SCS Operating Revenue FMS EBT as a % of FMS Operating Revenue DTS EBT as a % of DTS Operating Revenue SCS EBT as a % of SCS Operating Revenue	Operating revenue is defined as total revenue for Ryder System, Inc. or each business segment (FMS, DTS and SCS), respectively, excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation. We believe operating revenue provides useful information to investors as we use it to evaluate the operating performance of our core businesses and as a measure of sales activity at the consolidated level for Ryder System, Inc., as well as for each of our business segments. We also use segment EBT as a percentage of segment operating revenue for each business segment for the same reason. Note: FMS EBT, DTS EBT and SCS EBT, our primary measures of segment performance, are not non-GAAP measures. Fuel: We exclude FMS, DTS and SCS fuel from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as fuel is an ancillary service that we provide our customers, which is impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices, and the costs are largely a pass-through to our customers, resulting in minimal changes in our profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time, as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on trailing market fuel costs. Subcontracted transportation: We also exclude subcontracted transportation from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as these services are also typically a pass-through to our customers and, therefore, fluctuations result in minimal changes to our profitability. While our DTS and SCS business segments subcontract certain transportation services to third party providers, our FMS business segment does not engage in subcontracted transportation and, therefore, this item is not applicable to FMS.
Comparable Earnings Measures:
Comparable earnings before income tax (EBT) Comparable earnings Comparable earnings per diluted common share (EPS)	Comparable EBT, comparable earnings and comparable EPS are defined, respectively, as GAAP EBT, earnings and EPS, all from continuing operations, excluding (1) non-operating pension costs and (2) any other items that are not representative of our business operations. We believe these comparable earnings measures provide useful information to investors and allow for better year-over-year comparison of operating performance. Non-Operating Pension Costs: Our comparable earnings measures exclude non-operating pension costs, which include the amortization of net actuarial loss, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement costs. We exclude non-operating pension costs because we consider these to be impacted by financial market performance and outside the operational performance of our business. Other Significant Items: Our comparable earnings measures also exclude other items that are not representative of our business operations as detailed in the reconciliation table below - page 54. These other items vary from period to period and, in some periods, there may be no such items. In the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018, we exclude the following other significant items from our comparable earnings measures in this Form 10-Q: (1) Goodwill impairment: In the first quarter of 2018, we recorded an impairment charge of $16 million for all goodwill in the FMS Europe reporting unit. (2) Uncertain tax position adjustment: In first quarter of 2018, we determined that certain uncertain tax positions should have been reversed in prior periods when the statutes of limitations expired and recorded a $3.3 million benefit to our provision for income taxes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)



	(3) Tax Reform-related and other tax adjustments: In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $0.3 million of Tax Reform-related professional fees and $0.5 million, net benefit, of adjustments related to the Tax Reform one-time employee bonus accrued as of December 31, 2017, and professional fees. In the second quarter of 2018, we also recorded a $29 million adjustment to increase the provisional estimate related to the one-time transition tax under Tax Reform. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a $1.4 million deferred tax liability adjustment related to the prior provisional estimate from Tax Reform. In the second quarter of 2018, the states of Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri enacted changes to their tax systems, which decreased the provision for income taxes by $0.8 million. (4) Restructuring and other, net: In the second quarter of 2018, we recorded restructuring and other, net of $1.8 million related to employee termination costs related to the planned shutdown of our Singapore operations and professional fees partially offset by gains on the sales of properties closed as part of our 2017 restructuring plan and adjustments to restructuring charges recorded in 2017. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, our results reflect acquisition transaction costs and restructuring charges of $1.6 million and $2.2 million,respectively. During the first quarter of 2018, we recorded restructuring and other charges of $0.5 million, primarily related to professional fees and adjustments to the restructuring accrual recorded as of December 31, 2017. During the second quarter of 2017, we realized restructuring credits of $2.6 million related to the gains on sale of certain UK facilities that were closed as part of prior year restructuring activities. (5) Operating tax adjustment: In the first quarter of 2017, we recorded a one-time charge of $2.2 million related to operating tax expenses that had not been recognized in prior period earnings. Calculation of comparable tax rate: The comparable provision for income taxes is computed using the same methodology as the GAAP provision for income taxes. Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated based on the statutory tax rates of the jurisdictions to which the non-GAAP adjustments relate.
Cash Flow Measures:
Total Cash Generated Free Cash Flow	We consider total cash generated and free cash flow to be important measures of comparative operating performance, as our principal sources of operating liquidity are cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment. Total Cash Generated: Total cash generated is defined as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, (3) collections on direct finance leases and (4) other cash inflows from investing activities. We believe total cash generated is an important measure of total cash flows generated from our ongoing business activities. Free Cash Flow: We refer to the net amount of cash generated from operating activities and investing activities (excluding changes in restricted cash and acquisitions) from continuing operations as “free cash flow”. We calculate free cash flow as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, (3) collections on direct finance leases and (4) other cash inflows from investing activities, less (5) purchases of property and revenue earning equipment. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and for shareholders, after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. Our calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

These statements, as well as other forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, are based on our current plans and expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We caution readers that certain important factors could cause actual results and events to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:


•	Market Conditions:



	Ÿ		Changes in general economic and financial conditions in the U.S. and worldwide leading to decreased demand for our services, lower profit margins, increased levels of bad debt and reduced access to credit and financial markets



	Ÿ		Decreases in freight demand which would impact both our transactional and variable-based contractual business



	Ÿ		Changes in our customers’ operations, financial condition or business environment that may limit their demand for, or ability to purchase, our services



	Ÿ		Decreases in market demand affecting the commercial rental market and used vehicle sales as well as global economic conditions



	Ÿ		Volatility in customer volumes and shifting customer demand in the industries serviced by our SCS business



	Ÿ		Changes in current financial, tax or regulatory requirements that could negatively impact our financial results


•	Competition:



	Ÿ		Advances in technology may impact demand for our services or may require increased investments to remain competitive, and our customers may not be willing to accept higher prices to cover the cost of these investments



	Ÿ		Competition from other service providers, some of which have greater capital resources or lower capital costs, or from our customers, who may choose to provide services themselves



	Ÿ		Continued consolidation in the markets in which we operate which may create large competitors with greater financial resources



	Ÿ		Our inability to maintain current pricing levels due to economic conditions, demand for services, customer acceptance or competition
