This presentation includes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial
performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing
our financial results. Therefore, this measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income from operations, cash flows from
operations, earnings per fully-diluted share or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles.
You should be aware that this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. A
reconciliation of this measure to the most comparable measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been
included in this presentation.
The information in this presentation is summary in nature and may not contain all information that is important to you. The Recipient acknowledges
and agrees that (i) no representation or warranty regarding the material contained in this presentation is made by YRC Worldwide Inc. (the “Company”
or “we”) or any of its affiliates and (ii) that the Company and its affiliates have no obligation to update or supplement this presentation or otherwise
provide additional information.  This presentation is for discussion and reference purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or other property.  
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance of the Company and include statements
about the Company’s expectations or forecasts for future periods and events. Specific forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that
they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and include, without limitation, words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology.  We disclaim any obligation to
update those statements, except as applicable law may require us to do so, and we caution you not to rely unduly on them. We have based those
forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events, and while our management considers those
expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks,
contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual results may differ
materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.  Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include,
but are not limited to, those we discuss in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports we file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

Market share stability
24% market share by tonnage (public LTL
carriers only)
YRC Freight and YRC Regional’s combined
networks cover all 50 states, Puerto Rico,
Canada and Mexico
Broad footprint with service to over
250,000 customers
Scale is important for an LTL operator given
the large “hub and spoke” network
infrastructure required and the significant
operating leverage associated with the
business model’s fixed costs
Historical market share by tonnage based upon publicly traded LTL carriers only.
Market share by tonnage reflects Q2 2015 data.

Today, despite YoY improvement, YRC Freight’s
EBITDA margin still lags the industry
2Q15
= 5.9%
LTM 2Q15
= 4.5%
YRC Regionals while better still lag the industry
on a current basis as well
2Q15
= 11.8%
LTM 2Q15
= 8.3%
Significant opportunity for both segments to
achieve margin improvements
Assuming current market performance of an OR of
91 to 93, the long-term EBITDA margin segment
goals are as follows:
YRCF
= 7.2% (equivalent to an OR of 95 –
96)
Regional
= 10.5% (equivalent to an OR of 93 –
94)
Note: For comparison purposes, EBITDA for all companies is defined as Operating Income, excluding gains or losses from property sales, plus Depreciation and Amortization.  EBITDA used to calculate
EBITDA margin for YRCW above differs from the credit agreement definition of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.

Re-investment in the Business

After several years of curtailing investment in the business,
capital spending has resumed
Fleet replenishment through operating leases beginning in 2013
Increased leasing activity due to greater financing options
resulting from the Company’s improved financial condition
Acquired 44 dimensioners
since 2014.  Dimensioning technology
is used to better cost, price and plan freight loading and flow
For
the
LTM
2Q15,
the
CapEx
Equivalent
(CapEx
plus
the
Capital Value of Leases) was 4.2% of revenue.   This brings the
Company more in line with the industry standard of 4% to 5%
YRCW’s goal is to more aggressively replenish the fleet through
a combined approach of purchasing and leasing new tractors
and trailers 
YRCW is also focusing on additional technology investments
In-cab collision detection systems to enhance safety
Tablets for dock supervisors to more efficiently manage
dock operations
Logistical planning technology to improve driver efficiencies
Further roll-out of dimensioning technology
