“The significant improvement in operating income is a nice reflection of the strides we have made in three areas including delivery of excellent service, capacity allocation decision processes, and cost controls,” said Daniel W. Avramovich, chairman and CEO of Pacer. “We also would like to recognize the hard work and dedication of our employees for their focus on serving our customers and our Company. The fruits of their efforts are resident within our improved operating results.”
2011 GUIDANCE
Given our year-to-date results, we believe it is appropriate to provide updated guidance for the full year of 2011. As a result of our improved margin results, we are increasing our earnings per share guidance by approximately 25%, and now expect earnings per share to range between $0.32 and $0.37 per share. We expect revenues in 2011 to range between $1.500 billion and $1.525 billion.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES: This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP measures are adjusted revenues, which exclude the impact of the transition of the east-west big box IMC business in 2010. Non-GAAP measures are used by management and the Board of Directors in their analysis of the company’s ongoing core operating performance. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the company’s core businesses and allows investors to more easily compare operating results from period to period. A tabular reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial information discussed in this release and the most directly comparable financial information calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is contained in the financial summary statements attached to this press release.
CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS—This press release contains or may contain forward-looking statements, including earnings per share and revenue guidance for fiscal year 2011, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on the company’s current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements are general economic and business conditions including the current U.S. and global economic environment and the timing and strength of economic recovery in the U.S. and internationally; industry trends, including changes in the costs of services from rail, motor,
ocean and air transportation providers; changes resulting from our November 2009 arrangements with Union Pacific that have reduced revenues and have compressed margins; changes in the terms of new or replacement contracts with our underlying rail carriers that are less favorable to us relative to our legacy contracts as these expire (including our legacy contract with Union Pacific, expiring in 2011 which continues to apply to our automotive and international lines of business, and our legacy contract with CSX, expiring in 2014); our reliance on Union Pacific to provide us with, and to service and maintain, the equipment used in our business; our ability to borrow amounts under our credit agreement due to borrowing base limitations and/or to comply with the covenants in our credit agreement; increases in interest rates; the loss of one or more of our major customers; the effect of uncertainty surrounding the current economic environment on the transportation needs of our customers; the impact of competitive pressures in the marketplace; the frequency and severity of accidents, particularly involving our trucking operations; changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulation; changes in our business strategy, development plans or cost savings plans; congestion, work stoppages, equipment and capacity shortages, weather related issues and service disruptions affecting our rail and motor transportation providers; the degree and timing of changes in fuel prices, including changes in the fuel costs and surcharges that we pay to our vendors and those that we are able to collect from our customers; changes in international and domestic shipping patterns; availability of qualified personnel; difficulties in selecting, developing and implementing applications and solutions to update or replace our diverse legacy systems; increases in our leverage; and terrorism and acts of war. Additional information about these and other factors that could affect the company’s business is set forth in the company’s various filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those set forth in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2011. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, expected or intended. Except as otherwise required by federal securities laws, the company does not undertake any obligation to update such forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
