JACK COOPER HOLDINGS, CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of Jack Cooper Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (“we,” the “Company” or “JCHC”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Commission File Number 333-210698, effective May 11, 2016) (the “Registration Statement”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the prospectus contained therein. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

 

Organization and Business Overview

 

The Company is a transportation and logistics provider and a leading over-the-road finished vehicle logistics company in North America. The Company provides premium asset and non-asset based solutions to the global new and used vehicle markets, specializing in light vehicle transportation and other logistics services for major automotive original equipment manufacturers and for fleet ownership and remarketing companies. The Company offers a broad, complementary suite of asset and non-asset based transportation and logistics solutions, and operates through a fleet of 2,347 active rigs and a network of 57 strategically located terminals across North America as of March 31, 2016. The Company believes its scale and full range of over-the-road transportation and value-added logistics services, offered in over 85 locations across the U.S., Canada and Mexico, allow it to operate efficiently and deliver superior customer service, which the Company believes gives it a competitive advantage in maintaining and winning new business.

 

Revenue

 

The Company primarily earns revenues under multi-year or single-year contracts from the intrastate and interstate transportation of vehicles. Approximately 45%, 34%, and 13% of the Company’s revenues were from its three largest customers, General Motors Company, Ford Motor Company, and Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc., respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 38%, 29%, and 16%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. These customers also represented approximately 67% and 69% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $2.4 million and $1.8 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and other indefinite-life intangible assets not subject to amortization are evaluated annually as of November 30 for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. In assessing indefinite lived assets not subject to amortization, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite lived assets exceeds its carrying values. If the qualitative assessment is inconclusive, the Company performs Step 1 of a two-step process to compare the fair value of the indefinite lived assets to its carrying values. If Step 1 indicates the fair value is less than the carrying value, the Company performs Step 2 of the assessment to determine the difference between the implied fair value of the indefinite lived assets and the carrying amounts. In assessing goodwill for impairment, the Company initially evaluates qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment is not conclusive and it is necessary to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit, then a two-step process is utilized to test goodwill for impairment. First, a comparison of the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with the aggregate carrying value, including goodwill, is performed utilizing an income approach and market approach. The income approach develops an estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow, where the estimated fair value is calculated by discounting projected future cash flows. The market approach compares actual market transactions of businesses that are similar to those of the Company’s reporting units. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the second step of

(Unaudited)

 

the goodwill impairment test is performed to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step includes comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. Some of the key assumptions utilized in determining future projected cash flows include estimated growth rates, expected future pricing and costs, the weighted average cost of capital and discount rates, and future capital expenditures requirements. In addition, market multiples of publicly traded guideline companies are also considered.  The Company considers the relative strengths and weaknesses inherent in the valuation methodologies utilized in each approach and consults with a third party valuation specialist to assist in determining the fair value.

 

Any one event or a combination of events such as a change in the business climate, a negative change in relationships with significant customers, and changes to strategic decisions, could require an interim assessment prior to the next required annual assessment. No impairment was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The Company’s financial condition and results of operations are recorded in multiple currencies, including the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso, and the Company has an accounts receivable balance denominated in Nigerian naira. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar were translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses were translated at average exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses on certain of the Company’s intercompany loans are included in Other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss due to the intercompany loans not being considered long-term investment in nature.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include those related to workers’ compensation insurance, pension withdrawal liabilities, allowance for doubtful accounts, the recoverability and useful lives of assets, litigation provisions and income taxes. Estimates are revised when facts and circumstances change. As such, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which provides for simplification of certain aspects of employee share-based payment accounting including income taxes, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years and will be applied either prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified retrospective transition approach depending on the area covered in this update. The Company is currently evaluating the effect adoption of this update will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right of use asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet. The update also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted. This update will be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into, after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial

statements. The Company is currently evaluating the effect adoption of this update will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest, which amends the current guidance to change the manner in which debt issuance costs are presented on an entity’s balance sheet. This new guidance requires the Company to present debt issuance costs related to recognized debt liabilities on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, as opposed to the previous guidance that provides for presentation of the cost of issuing debt as a separate asset. ASU 2015-03 required retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This new guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. As a result of adopting this standard on January 1, 2016, deferred financing costs of $10.1 million as of December 31, 2015, previously reported within long-term assets, were reclassified to long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2016, $9.5 million of deferred financing costs are reported within long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation, which amends the current consolidation guidance to change the manner in which a reporting entity assesses certain characteristics used to determine if an entity is a variable interest entity. This new guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016, with early adoption permitted, including in any interim period. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016 and the adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance will be applicable to the Company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2016 and the Company expects to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have any impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition. This 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. This guidance also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB agreed to a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition guidance so that it is now effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The new guidance will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2018 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effect adoption of this update will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company performs periodic reviews of the appropriateness of depreciable lives for each category of property and equipment, taking into consideration actual usage, physical wear and tear, and replacement history to determine remaining life of the asset base. No changes to the remaining useful life of the asset base were made during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

The Company identified certain assets that meet the criteria for assets held for sale classification.  The Company had approximately $1.9 million in assets held for sale as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. These assets primarily consist of real property at one location that the Company sold for $1.6 million subsequent to March 31, 2016 and carrier revenue equipment that does not fit the Company’s fleet needs.  The Company plans to sell substantially all of the remaining assets during 2016 and, as such, the assets were measured at fair value less cost to sell.

 

NOTE 3: LINE OF CREDIT

 

The Company is party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as agent, dated June 18, 2016 (as amended, modified and supplemented, the “Credit Facility”), which provides a revolving line of credit of $100 million, with the amount available to borrow determined by a borrowing base calculation based on accounts receivable and vehicles owned less letters of credit and other offsets. The Credit Facility matures at the earlier of (i) June 18, 2018 or (ii) the date that is 90 days prior to the then extant maturity date of the Term Loan (as defined in Note 4, which is currently October 18, 2018). As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were $58.4 million and $50.6 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 2.98% and 2.99%, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $31.5 million and $39.3 million, respectively, without consideration of the maximum revolver threshold disclosed below. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are reflected within current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Facility of $0.9 million as of March 31, 2016, and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2015 are included within deposits and other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

All borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin, or at the Company’s option, at the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin (in minimum amounts of $1 million, each such term as defined under the Credit Agreement).

 

The Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants including, but not limited to, certain limitations on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, guarantee other obligations, create or incur liens on assets, make investments or acquisitions, make certain dispositions of assets, make optional payments or modifications of certain debt instruments, pay dividends or other payments to the Company’s equity holders, engage in mergers or consolidations, sell assets, change the Company’s line of business and engage in transactions with affiliates. If availability under the Credit Facility falls below 12.50% of the

Maximum Revolver Amount (as defined in the Credit Facility), the Company will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage maintenance ratio of at least 1.10:1.00 for a specified time. If excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below 12.50% of the Maximum Revolver Amount, the lender may automatically sweep funds from the Company’s cash accounts to pay down the revolver. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s availability under the Credit Facility exceeded the specified threshold amounts and accordingly, the Company was not in a financial covenant period.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, borrowings under the Credit Facility ranged from $50.0 million to $69.1 million. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $3.8 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

NOTE 4: LONG-TERM DEBT

 

2020 Notes

 

The Company has outstanding $375 million principal amount of 9.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”), issued pursuant to an indenture dated June 18, 2013. The outstanding principal balance of the 2020 Notes recorded within long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balances sheets is net of unamortized premium and debt financing costs totaling $2.5 million as of March 31, 2016, and $2.7 million as of December 31, 2015.

 

Interest on the 2020 Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The indenture governing the 2020 Notes contains certain covenants, including covenants, which, subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture) to incur additional indebtedness, engage in certain asset sales, make certain types of restricted payments, engage in transactions with affiliates and create liens on assets of the Company or the guarantors. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the indenture governing the 2020 Notes as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had outstanding $375 million in aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes on which interest accrued at a rate of 9.25% per year through June 18, 2014. In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, the Company entered into registration rights agreements requiring the Company to exchange the 2020 Notes for notes registered under the Securities Act within 365 days of the initial issuance on June 18, 2013, or pay additional interest of 0.25% per annum for each 90-day period thereafter until registration is completed, not to exceed 1.0% of additional interest per annum. As of March 31, 2016, the 2020 Notes were not registered and were subject to restrictions on transfer and resale, and could only be offered or sold in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Because the Company did not complete the exchange offer in a timely manner pursuant to the registration rights agreements, interest on the 2020 Notes accrued at 10.25% per annum as of March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had an additional registration rights interest accrual of $2.7 million.

 

On May 11, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement registering new notes substantially identical to the 2020 Notes effective and on May 12, 2016 the Company launched an offer to exchange the new registered notes for the outstanding 2020 Notes.  The sole purpose of the exchange offer is to fulfill the Company’s obligations under the registration rights agreements entered into with respect to the 2020 Notes.

 

Term Loan

 

On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) in the principal amount of $62.5 million issued at a 4.0% discount with MSDC JC Investments, LLC (“MSDC”), as agent and lender. MSDC is an affiliate of MSD Credit Opportunity Fund, L.P., a Class B stockholder of Jack Cooper Enterprises, Inc., which is the parent company of JCHC.  The outstanding principal balance recorded within long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balances sheets is net of the unamortized discount and deferred financing costs totaling $3.6 million as of March 31, 2016, and $3.9 million as of December 31, 2015. The proceeds from the

Term Loan were used to pay down outstanding borrowings on the Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.

 

Prior to an amendment dated December 23, 2015, and effective January 2, 2016, interest on the Term Loan accrued at a rate of LIBOR plus 6.0% per annum, subject to a LIBOR floor of 3.0% per annum. From January 2, 2016 through maturity, interest on the Term Loan accrues at LIBOR plus 7.0% (10.0% at March 31, 2016), subject to a LIBOR floor of 3.0% per annum. The Term Loan matures on October 18, 2018. Further, if the Term Loan is prepaid with the proceeds of a qualified equity raise, the Company will pay an additional premium equal to the present value of the additional 1.0% interest accruing from January 2, 2016, if paid through the maturity date, as a make whole premium.

 

The Term Loan is guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the outstanding equity of the Company’s first-tier foreign subsidiaries. MSDC’s liens have first priority status on the ABL Collateral (as defined in the JCHC Indenture) and second priority status on the Notes Collateral (as defined in the indenture governing the 2020 Notes) to the same extent as the liens of the lenders under the Credit Facility in such assets (as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the indenture governing the 2020 Notes)), but are junior to the liens of the lenders under the Credit Facility.

 

In connection with the execution of the Term Loan agreement, on April 2, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”), pursuant to which the Credit Facility was amended to permit the incurrence of the Term Loan under the Credit Agreement. The Third Amendment also imposed an availability block under the Credit Facility of $6.25 million so long as any indebtedness is outstanding under the Term Loan (or MSDC has any commitment to extend credit resulting in incurrence of such indebtedness), and made certain conforming amendments to the covenants with respect to the prepayment, redemption, purchase or acquisition of other indebtedness and to certain of the events of default under the Credit Facility.

 

NOTE 5: INCOME TAXES

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company determined the interim tax expense using an effective tax rate by jurisdiction which was calculated using an estimate of annual earnings and annual tax. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was (3.5)% and (1.1)%, respectively. The accounting for income taxes requires deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. There have not been any significant changes in unrecognized income tax benefits since December 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $88.0 million and $85.4 million, respectively, recorded for valuation allowances.

 

NOTE 6: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Letters of Credit

 

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had $3.8 million in outstanding letters of credit to be used as collateral for the Company’s obligation to fund losses under various retrospectively-rated and large deductible insurance programs.

 

Litigation

 

As previously reported, the Company was in a dispute with American Zurich Insurance Company and Zurich Services Corporation (collectively referred to herein as “Zurich”) regarding the handling of workers’ compensation claims for the policy period January 1, 2008 through July 26, 2009. On January 4, 2011, the Company entered into a Standstill Agreement with Zurich. The Standstill Agreement expired June 15, 2013, and arbitration resumed. On November 7, 2013, the Company entered into a Payment and Standstill Agreement and Limited Release (the “Second Standstill Agreement”) with Zurich relating to the previously disclosed arbitration. The Second Standstill

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Agreement, as amended, provided for another standstill until February 29, 2016 (the “Second Standstill Period”). During the Second Standstill Period, neither Zurich nor the Company could proceed with the arbitration and neither party was permitted to exercise any remedies in respect of the Zurich insurance program covering the period January 1, 2008 through July 26, 2009, whether at law or in equity. During the Second Standstill Period, Jack Cooper made all payments required by the Second Standstill Agreement and maintained a letter of credit in the amount of $3.5 million as collateral.

 

In March 2016, the Company and Zurich agreed to terms memorializing a settlement of this arbitration and dispute, and in April 2016 the Company and Zurich executed a full settlement agreement with releases and other terms agreeable to both parties. The Company had total reserves of $4.1 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, net of liabilities for which corresponding assets are recorded related to insurance recoveries for claims in excess of per claim maximum exposures. Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the Company fully satisfied its obligations to Zurich under the settlement agreement.

 

From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, the Company is a plaintiff or a defendant in other legal proceedings related to various issues, including workers’ compensation claims, tort claims, contractual disputes, and collections. The Company carries insurance that provides protection against certain types of claims, up to the policy limits of its insurance. It is the opinion of management that none of the other known legal actions will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

Other Commitments

 

The Company recorded an estimate for withdrawal liabilities from the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust (the “Western Conference Trust”) due to declines in its contributions to the fund during the periods between 2011 and 2014, and Teamsters of Philadelphia and Vicinity Pension Plan due to declines in its contributions to the fund during the periods since 2009, in the amount of $4.4 million and $3.3 million as of December 31, 2015, respectively, and $2.8 million and $3.1 million as of March 31, 2016, respectively. In March 2016, the Company received a $0.3 million assessment for the full withdrawal as of December 31, 2015 from the Western Conference Trust, which was fully accrued for as of December 31, 2015. The Company has evaluated the liabilities as of March 31, 2016 and has determined that no changes to the estimates of withdrawal liabilities are necessary for either plan.

 

NOTE 7: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

GAAP has established a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

The Company utilizes the best available information in measuring fair value.  Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payables approximate fair value due to their liquid and short term nature. The estimated fair value of the 2020 Notes outstanding at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was approximately $375.4 million and $370.6 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the remaining outstanding debt (including the unsecured debt and outstanding balance on the Credit Facility and Term Loan) was approximately $146.7 million and $142.2 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The fair value is estimated by

comparing interest rates to debt with similar terms and maturities, which represents a level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy.

 

NOTE 8: GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

The Company had total goodwill of $32.2 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and net intangible assets of $28.0 million and $28.6 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 11: CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following tables present condensed consolidating financial statements under the equity method of (a) the parent company, Jack Cooper Holdings Corp., as issuer of the 2020 Notes; (b) the subsidiary guarantors of the 2020 Notes; and (c) the subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the 2020 Notes. Separate financial statements of the subsidiary guarantors are not presented because the Company owns all outstanding voting stock of each of the subsidiary guarantors and the guarantee by each subsidiary guarantor is full and unconditional and joint and several. As a result and in accordance with Rule 3-10(f) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company includes the following tables in these notes to the consolidated financial statements:

You should review carefully these sections of this Quarterly Report and the Registration Statement, and the prospectus contained therein, for a more complete discussion of these risks and other factors that may affect our business. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report and we do not undertake any obligation to update publicly any such statements.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

We are a transportation and logistics provider and a leading over-the-road finished vehicle logistics company in North America. We provide premium asset and non-asset based solutions to the global new and used vehicle markets, specializing in light vehicle transportation and other logistics services for major automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and for fleet ownership and remarketing companies. We offer a broad, complementary suite of asset and non-asset based transportation and logistics solutions through a fleet of 2,347 active rigs as of March 31, 2016 and a network of 57 strategically located terminals across North America. We believe our scale and full range of over-the-road transportation and value-added logistics services, offered in over 85 locations across the U.S., Canada and Mexico allow us to operate efficiently and deliver superior customer service, which we believe gives us a competitive advantage in maintaining and winning new business. We have two reportable segments, the Transport segment and the Logistics segment.

 

In addition to our asset-based transportation solutions, we provide our customers with a full range of complementary non-asset based logistics and value-added services. Logistics services include freight brokering as well as international shipping services for cars, trucks and construction equipment through our non-vessel owning common carrier subsidiary. Value-added services include the installation of OEM order accessories, claims management, vehicle inspection, including a high definition photography application for vehicle inspections, and title and supply chain management services, as well as rail and yard management and port processing.

 

Most of the Company’s U.S. employees are represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America (the “Teamsters”) and are covered by the National Master Automobile Transporters Agreement, and Supplements (collectively, the “Master Agreement”), which expired on August 31, 2015. A new agreement is being negotiated. The Teamsters, represented by the Teamsters National Automobile Transporters Industry Negotiating Committee, and the Company, represented by the National Automobile Transports Labor Division, are continuing good faith negotiations to enter into a new agreement, and

 

18



Table of Contents

 

both parties have mutually agreed to keep all terms and provisions of the Master Agreement in effect until a new agreement is entered into.

 

Revenues

 

We primarily earn revenues from the intrastate and interstate transportation of vehicles. Most of the sales and expenses of the Company are significantly concentrated among three major customers: General Motors Company, Ford Motor Company, and Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. We generate a significant portion of our revenue by transporting automobiles and light trucks for our customers. Generally, we are paid per vehicle transported, per mile. We also derive revenue from fuel surcharges, yard management services, including rail loading and unloading activities, brokering of transportation of used vehicles, brokering of international shipments of cars, trucks, and construction equipment from various ports in the U.S. to various international destinations by third-party ships, and inspection and titles storage services for pre-owned and off-lease vehicles.

 

The main factors that affect our revenue are the number of vehicles manufactured by our customers, the type of vehicle models and the distance between origin location and destination location, the revenue per mile we receive from our customers, the percentage of miles for which we are compensated, the number of rigs operating and changes in fuel prices. These factors relate to, among other things, the U.S. economy, inventory levels, the level of truck capacity in our markets, customer demand by location for each vehicle model, timing of OEM production, changeovers and recalls, and our average length of haul.

 

As is common in the industry, we recover a portion of certain fuel costs from fuel surcharges charged to customers. Changes in fuel costs will not result in a direct offset to fuel surcharges due to the nature of the calculation of fuel surcharges, which is customer-specific and fluctuates as a result of miles driven, changes in the number and types of units hauled per customer, as well as the relationship of the national average cost of fuel (the national average diesel price index) or other contractually determined customer index benchmarks compared to actual fuel prices paid at the pump.

 

Demand for vehicle transport in our Transport and Logistics segments can be affected by inclement weather, particularly during the winter months, when such weather tends to slow the delivery of vehicles. First quarter revenues can be negatively impacted by weather conditions, which not only decrease vehicle delivery volumes, but also decrease driver productivity. We experienced a comparable number of terminal shut-down days associated with severe weather conditions during the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period of 2015. A terminal shut-down day is defined as one eight-hour Monday through Friday operating day for a single terminal.

 

OPERATING RESULTS

 

Financial Overview

 

During the first three months of 2016, revenues increased by 11.3% as compared to the first three months of 2015 primarily as a result of (i) periodic increases in contractual customer rates effected during the first quarter of 2016 and the continuing impact of contractual amendments effected in the third quarter of 2015 with certain customers, which include changes in pricing and payment terms and certain operational improvements, (ii) a 6.5% increase in the volume of vehicles delivered and a 13.7% increase in miles driven in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to a decline in OEM plant closures, and (iii) a 76.2% increase in the Logistics segment revenues due to increased revenues from the Company’s brokerage operations, inspection and title services, and international export shipping operations of cars, trucks and construction equipment during the first quarter of 2016, mainly due to higher used-vehicle brokerage volumes, increased rates on inspection and title storage services, and increased shipments at AES. The increased revenues were partially offset by decreased fuel surcharges due to the overall reduction in average fuel prices throughout the U.S.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2015, management made the determination to close two Canadian terminals due to continued losses attributable to those locations. The closure of the terminals is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2016.

Table of Contents

 

Our reported financial condition and results of operations have been converted to U.S. dollars for subsidiaries that have functional currencies of the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso. Our revenues and certain expenses are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against these local currencies. When we refer to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we are referring to the differences between the foreign currency exchange rates we use to translate our international operations’ results from local currencies into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. The impacts of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations are calculated as the difference between current period activity translated using the current period’s currency exchange rates and the comparable prior year period’s currency exchange rates. We use this method for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

(a)   EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents income (loss) from continuing operations plus provision (benefit) for income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, as used herein, is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and/or are non-cash items such as: adjustments for legacy workers’ compensation charge (benefit) related to programs in-place prior to our current ownership; severance and employment agreement charges; professional fees associated with acquisitions, potential acquisitions and other non-operating-related transactions; stock based compensation; and other, net, primarily comprised of non-cash impact of foreign

currency changes on certain intercompany notes that are other than long-term in nature. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider these to be important supplemental measures of our performance and believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, lenders and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industries with similar capital structures. Our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to that of other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation.

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net loss, as determined under GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are they do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; they do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; although depreciation is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows; and other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

 

Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA excludes (1) non-cash stock based compensation expenses which are and will remain a key element of our overall long-term compensation packages and (2) certain costs related to multiemployer pension plan partial withdrawals, which we expect are reasonably likely to occur in future periods.

 

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only for supplemental purposes.

 

(b)     Primarily represents foreign currency transaction (gains) losses on intercompany loans denominated in currencies other than the reporting currency.

 

(c)      The benefit taken for legacy workers’ compensation claims relate to claims from the period January 1, 2008 through July 26, 2009, most of which were incurred prior to the acquisition of Jack Cooper by its current ownership group. These benefits are included in compensation and benefits on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

(d)     Charges for third-party legal, consulting and accounting expenses related to potential transactions and consummated acquisitions, and related diligence, which are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

(e)      Represents the compensation expense for stock options granted during 2013, 2014 and 2015. The fair value of the options was determined using the Black-Scholes model. The expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

(f)       Represents costs under severance agreements and in accordance with labor agreements associated with the closure of two terminal locations and the elimination of certain corporate overhead roles for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the significant scaling back of operations at of one terminal location for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

Three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015

 

Operating Revenues. Total operating revenues increased by $17.9 million to $175.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $157.9 million for the same period in 2015, an increase of 11.3%. The increase in operating revenues resulted from a $16.1 million increase in the Transport segment’s revenues and a $7.7 million increase in the Logistics segment’s revenues, partially offset by a $5.9 million decrease in fuel surcharges in the Transport segment. Foreign currency exchange fluctuations had no material impact on the Company’s operating revenues.

 

The increase of $16.1 million, or 11.7%, in the Transport segment’s revenues was primarily a result of periodic increases in contractual customer rates with certain customers during the first quarter of 2016 and the continuing

impact of contractual amendments made in the third quarter of 2015. Further contributing to the increase in revenues were decreases in OEM plant closures, which contributed to a 6.5% increase in volume of vehicles delivered and a 13.7% increase in miles driven in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2015.

 

The Logistics segment revenues increased by $7.7 million, or 76.2%, primarily as a result of increased revenues from the Company’s brokerage operations, inspection and title services, and international export shipping operations of cars, trucks and construction equipment during the first quarter of 2016. The Logistics segment experienced improved demand for vehicle brokerage services as well as increased rates on inspection and title storage services in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2015. In addition, the increase in revenues from Auto Export Shipping, Inc. (“AES”), a subsidiary of the Company which provides the brokering of international shipment of cars, trucks and construction equipment from various ports in the U.S. to various international destinations on third-party ships, resulted from a larger volume of shipments at AES during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Revenues from AES in the first quarter of 2015 were lower primarily due to service issues caused by the Nigerian port of call preferred by AES’s former ocean carrier. In March 2015, AES contracted with a new ocean carrier which services AES’s customers’ preferred ports of call within Nigeria, a major market for AES.

 

Fuel surcharges included in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $4.7 million and $10.6 million, or 3.0% and 7.7%, of the Transport segment’s revenues, respectively. Fuel surcharges decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to the overall decrease in average fuel prices throughout the U.S. as compared to the pre-determined customer index benchmarks. Average fuel prices throughout the U.S. were approximately $2.11 per gallon for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $2.98 per gallon during the same period in 2015. Additionally, fuel surcharges decreased as a percentage of revenues due to contractual price increases received from certain customers during the first quarter of 2016 and the third quarter of 2015, with no corresponding changes in the customer-specific fuel surcharge rates.

 

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $174.4 million and $169.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $5.0 million, or 3.0%. Foreign currency exchange fluctuations had no material impact on the change in the Company’s operating expenses.

 

The Logistics segment’s operating expenses increased by $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in operating expenses from the Transport segment. Operating expenses were further increased by a $0.2 million increase in corporate operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Compensation and Benefits. Compensation and benefits includes wages and benefits for drivers, maintenance, and yard employees who are members of collective bargaining units, the majority of which are Teamsters. Benefit costs include health, welfare and pension contributions made to various multi-employer funds, costs for workers’ compensation insurance, and payroll taxes.

 

Compensation and benefits were $90.7 million and $84.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $5.9 million, or 7.0%. The increase in compensation and benefits was attributable to a $5.6 million increase from the Transport segment and a $0.3 million increase from the Logistics segment. The

primary factors leading to the increase from the Transport segment were higher wages paid to drivers as a result of increased miles driven during the first quarter of 2016, as well as an increase in driver wages due to year-over-year contractual wage increases, and increased health, welfare and pension expenses.

 

Fuel Expenses. Consolidated fuel expenses (including federal and state fuel taxes) were $12.8 million and $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 23.8%. The decrease in gross fuel expense was due primarily to the overall decrease in average fuel prices throughout the U.S. for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, partially offset by the increase in miles driven as noted above.

 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $12.9 million and $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $0.2 million, or 1.6%. The increase was attributable to a $0.5 million increase from the Transport segment, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease from the Logistics segment, and related primarily to an increase in the average gross outstanding balance of Company depreciable assets from the same period in the prior year.

 

Repairs and Maintenance. Repairs and maintenance expense was $13.6 million and $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $2.0 million, or 17.2%. The increase was entirely attributable to the Transport segment. The repairs and maintenance expense was higher in the first three months of 2016 as compared to 2015 due to increases in the amount of repairs associated with more miles driven during the first quarter of 2016.

 

Other Operating. Other operating expenses include rent expenses, license fees and taxes, vehicle insurance expenses, cargo claim loss expenses, general supplies, other miscellaneous expenses and brokerage fees paid for services performed on our behalf as part of our non-asset based logistics services, including payments for international shipments on third-party ships. Other operating expenses were $30.9 million and $27.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $3.5 million, or 12.8%. The increase was mainly due to the Logistics segment’s increases in brokerage fees paid on used vehicles of $2.2 million and an increase in brokerage fees paid on international shipments of $3.0 million, mainly due to higher used vehicle brokerage volumes and increased shipments at AES during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in Logistics brokerage fees were partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in the Transport segment’s vehicle rental expense due to fewer rigs being leased in the three month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2015, as a result of the Company’s purchase during 2015 of 180 rigs previously operated under operating leases, in addition to an overall net decrease of $0.5 million in other general supplies and expenses.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Expenses reported within selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss consist of administrative salaries, benefits and related payroll taxes, as well as professional services and other miscellaneous administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $12.8 million and $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 16.9%. The decrease was mainly attributable to a $2.7 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses from the Transport segment, offset by a $0.1 million increase from the Logistics segment. The decrease at the Transport segment was primarily due to a $3.2 million decrease in professional service costs associated with consulting agreements related to our operational improvement initiatives in 2015, partially offset by an increase in salary and benefit expenses associated with increased administrative personnel.

 

Operating Income (Loss). Operating income was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to an operating loss of $11.6 million for the same period in 2015, an improvement of $13.0 million, or 112.1%. The improvement over the comparable period was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues as a result of increased contractual rates agreed with certain customers, increased volume of vehicle delivered and miles driven, and increased revenues from the Company’s brokerage operations, inspection and title services, and international export shipping operations, as well as decreased fuel and selling, general and administrative expenses, offset in part by increased compensation and benefit and other operating expenses.

 

Other Expense.  Other expense consists of interest expense, net and other expenses, net, the majority of which is attributable to foreign currency transaction losses. Interest expense, net was $11.5 million for the three months

Table of Contents

 

ended March 31, 2016 compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2015, an increase of $1.6 million, or 16.2%. The increase in interest expense, net was a result of the interest rate paid on the outstanding Term Loan balance during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which was not outstanding during the same period in 2015. Other income was $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to other expense of $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $6.0 million. The increase was attributable to foreign currency transaction gains primarily associated with intercompany transactions between operations in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar over the comparable period.

 

Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was (3.5)% and (1.1)%, respectively. The accounting for income taxes requires deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. There have not been any material changes in unrecognized income tax benefits since December 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $88.0 million and $85.4 million recorded for valuation allowances, respectively.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our cash is primarily generated from operations and specific financing arrangements with lenders, customers and vendors. Our core cash requirements include operating expenses, capital expenditures for equipment, payments under borrowing arrangements and operating leases for equipment, deposits of cash collateral and payments to workers’ compensation, auto and general liability insurers, and withdrawal payments to multi-employer pension funds in which we participate. We project that cash generated by our operating activities and borrowings under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to satisfy our core cash needs over the next twelve months. Over the long-term, we will continue to have significant capital requirements, which may require us to seek additional borrowings, lease financing, or equity capital, or engage in asset sales.  The availability of financing or equity capital will depend on our financial condition and results of operations as well as prevailing market conditions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to incur additional debt or refinance our existing debt as it becomes due or that we will receive additional equity capital.

 

Because the Credit Facility provides short term working capital needs as necessary, we have classified borrowings thereunder within short term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. As we repay the $58.4 million outstanding under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2016, we will incur new borrowings for working capital needs and expect to have an outstanding balance under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2016.

 

On March 31, 2015, we entered into a senior secured term loan with an aggregate principal amount of $62.5 million, issued at a 4.0% discount. We used proceeds from the Term Loan to pay down our Credit Facility and for general business purposes. On December 23, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the Term Loan, which extended the maturity date of the Term Loan to October 18, 2018 and, effective January 2, 2016, increased the applicable interest rate on the Term Loan by 1.0% per annum.  In consideration for the amendment, the Company paid MSDC a fee of $0.6 million.

 

The following table is presented as a measure of components contributing to our liquidity and financial condition as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

Summary of Sources and Uses of Cash. Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.5 million to $4.1 million at March 31, 2016 from $2.6 million at December 31, 2015. Significant sources of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2016 included net borrowings of an additional $7.8 million under our Credit Facility, $2.0 million in working capital adjustments, and net loss exclusive of non-cash items of $4.1 million. Significant uses of cash included $6.2 million of capital expenditures, $2.0 million of principal payments on long-term debt and $4.4 million of changes in non-current assets and liabilities.

 

Capital Expenditures, Acquisitions and Other Investing Activities. Cash flows used in investing activities were $6.2 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash used in investing activities consisted of $6.2 million of capital expenditures. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net cash used in investing activities consisted of $5.6 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $0.1 million from the proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. Capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 included $5.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for purchases of new carrier revenue equipment and improvements to existing carrier revenue equipment.

 

Financing Activities, Debt and Related Covenants. Cash flows provided by financing activities were $5.8 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to $7.8 million in additional net borrowings on the Credit Facility, partially offset by principal payments on long-term debt of $1.9 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to $4.1 million in additional net borrowings under the Credit Facility and $1.5 million in proceeds from an intercompany note, partially offset by principal payments on long-term debt of $2.2 million.

 

The change in the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2016, as compared to December 31, 2015, was the result of additional net borrowings of $7.8 million. The average outstanding Credit Facility balance during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $60.5 million, which had a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.10%.

 

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are exposed to market risk, including changes to interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and increases in fuel prices.

 

Risk from Interest Rates. At March 31, 2016, we had outstanding long-term debt totaling $449.9 million (including bond premium and discount), $118.8 million of which is outstanding under the Term Loan and the Credit Facility and is subject to variable interest rates, subject, in the case of the Term Loan, to a minimum LIBOR rate of 3.0%. We utilize the Credit Facility borrowings to meet our working capital needs. Assuming the Credit Facility is fully drawn, each one-eighth percentage point increase or decrease in the applicable interest rates would result in a corresponding change to our annual interest expense of $0.2 million per year, considering the effect of the minimum LIBOR rate on the Term Loan.

 

Risk from Exchange Rates. Our recorded financial condition and results of operations are reported in multiple currencies, including the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso, and are then translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rate for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements. Appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar or Mexican peso will have a negative impact on our reported net sales and operating income while depreciation of the U.S. dollar against such currencies will have a positive effect on reported net sales and operating income. Additionally, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations are presented within other, net in

our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss related to intercompany loans denominated in U.S. dollars with foreign subsidiaries whose functional currencies include the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso.

 

Risk from commodity exposure. We have commodity exposure with respect to fuel used in Company-owned and leased rigs. Increases in fuel prices will raise our operating costs, even though historically we have been able to recover a majority of fuel price increases from our customers in the form of fuel surcharges. Average fuel prices throughout the U.S. were approximately $2.11 per gallon for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $2.98 per gallon during the same period in 2015.  We cannot predict the extent or speed of potential changes in fuel price levels in the future, the degree to which the lag effect of our fuel surcharge programs will impact us as a result of the timing and magnitude of such changes, or the extent to which effective fuel surcharges can be maintained and collected to offset such increases. We have not used derivative financial instruments to hedge our fuel price exposure in the past.

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
