percent
in

Excluding
Phoenix,
we estimate that ocean transportation net revenues increased approximately three percent in the
fourth quarter. The net revenue increases (excluding Phoenix) resulted in part from increased
pricing, partially offset by decreased volumes.
Air net revenues increased 81 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012. Excluding Phoenix, we
estimate that air transportation net revenues increased approximately 19 percent in the fourth
quarter.
The
net
revenue
increase
(excluding
Phoenix)
was
due
to
the
decreased
cost
of capacity
and increased pricing, partially offset by decreased volumes.

Other Logistics Services Results Q4 2012
Other Logistics Services includes Transportation Management Services, Customs,
Warehousing, and Small Parcel.
Other Logistics Services net revenues increased 37 percent in the fourth quarter. Excluding

percent in the fourth quarter.

The term “Adjusted”
refers to non-GAAP financial information, adjusted to exclude certain
transaction impacts.
Estimated impact of Phoenix to consolidated personnel as a percent of net revenue was an
increase of 1%.  
Q4 2011 personnel expense was unusually low, due to reductions in certain incentive
compensation plans that are based on growth in earnings.  These reductions were driven by
a slowing
of
earnings
growth
in
Q4
2011
compared
to
the
first
nine
months
of
2011.
The increase in other operating expenses as a percent of net revenues was driven primarily
by two months of intangible amortization ($2.7 million) related to the Phoenix acquisition.
