The Company reported record first quarter total revenue and operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding all fuel and subcontracted transportation). Total revenue increased due to higher operating revenue and subcontracted transportation, reflecting new business and higher volumes. Total revenue also grew due to higher fuel costs passed through to customers, partially offset by negative impacts from foreign exchange. Operating revenue increased due to higher contractual ChoiceLease (lease) revenue and higher revenue in the supply chain solutions and dedicated transportation business segments, partially offset by lower transactional rental revenue and negative impacts from foreign exchange.

Commenting on the Company’s first quarter results, Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez said, "Ryder's results came in at the bottom end of our forecast range, driven by weaker than expected rental demand, which is consistent with the soft freight environment. In addition, used vehicle sales results were slightly below plan, due to modestly lower pricing. Although our transactional business results were below expectations, the solid growth in the contractual parts of our business reflects ongoing secular trends favoring outsourcing, with 45% of our growth now coming from customers who are outsourcing for the first time. Supply Chain Solutions outperformed our expectations, showing solid revenue and earnings growth, driven primarily by new business. Ryder's financial position remains strong, as we delivered positive free cash flow, and leverage is near the midpoint of our target range."

First Quarter Business Segment Operating Results

Fleet Management Solutions
In the Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment, total revenue was $1.13 billion, up 3% compared with $1.10 billion in the year-earlier period. FMS operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel) was $962 million, consistent with the year-earlier period. Lease revenue increased 5% reflecting a larger average fleet size and higher prices on replacement vehicles. The lease fleet (excluding U.K. trailers) increased by 1,700 vehicles year-to-date, partly due to a higher number of vehicles being prepared for sale. Adjusting for these units, the lease fleet grew by 1,200 vehicles year-to-date. Commercial rental revenue decreased by 15% from the year-earlier period due to lower demand.

FMS earnings before tax were $52.1 million, down 37% compared with $83.3 million in the same period of 2016. Decreased earnings reflect lower used vehicle sales results and commercial rental performance. Results benefited from lower overheads and improved results in lease and SelectCare (maintenance), partially offset by $9 million of accelerated depreciation on vehicles and higher maintenance costs on an

older fleet. Commercial rental performance declined due to lower demand. Rental power fleet utilization was 67.2% for the first quarter, down from 70.4% in the year-earlier period. Used vehicle results declined primarily due to a lower market pricing environment. FMS earnings before tax as a percentage of FMS total revenue and FMS operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure) were 4.6% and 5.4%, respectively, down 300 and 330 basis points, primarily reflecting lower used vehicle sales and commercial rental results.

Dedicated Transportation Solutions
In the Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) business segment, total revenue was up 9% to $267 million and DTS operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) was up 2% to $193 million compared with the year-earlier period. DTS total revenue growth reflects higher operating revenue and increased subcontracted transportation resulting from new business, as well as higher fuel costs passed through to customers. DTS operating revenue grew as a result of higher pricing and increased volumes.

DTS earnings before tax of $11.3 million decreased 21% compared with $14.3 million in 2016, primarily due to higher insurance costs and increased operating costs on an older fleet. DTS earnings before tax as a percentage of DTS total revenue and DTS operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure) were 4.2% and 5.8%, respectively, down 160 and 170 basis points from the year-earlier period.

Supply Chain Solutions
In the Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business segment, total revenue was up 19% to $463 million and SCS operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) was up 12% to $362 million compared with the year-earlier period. SCS total revenue growth reflects higher operating revenue and increased subcontracted transportation resulting from new business. SCS operating revenue grew across all industry verticals, primarily as a result of increased volumes, new business, and higher pricing.

SCS earnings before tax of $27.4 million increased 39% from $19.8 million in 2016, primarily driven by revenue growth. SCS earnings before tax as a percentage of SCS total revenue and SCS operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure) were 5.9% and 7.6%, respectively, up 80 and 150 basis points from the prior year.

Corporate Financial Information
Central Support Services
Central Support Services (CSS) are overhead costs incurred to support all business segments and product lines. Most CSS costs are allocated to the business segments. In the first quarter of 2017, unallocated CSS costs were $10 million, consistent with the year-earlier period.

Items Excluded from Segment and Comparable Earnings
Non-operating components of pension costs are excluded from both segment earnings before tax and comparable earnings (a non-GAAP measure) in order to more accurately reflect the operating performance of the business. Non-operating pension costs totaled $7.2 million ($4.2 million after tax) or $0.08 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2017, up from $6.9 million ($4.0 million after tax) or $0.07 per diluted share in the year-earlier period.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company identified certain operating tax expenses that had not been recognized in prior period earnings. Accordingly, the Company recognized a one-time charge of $2.2 million ($1.7 million after tax) or $0.03 per diluted share as a cumulative correction in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate and comparable income tax rate (a non-GAAP measure) from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2017 decreased 50 and 70 basis points, respectively, to 36.2% and 36.4%. The decrease in the effective and comparable income tax rates reflect a reduction of the valuation allowance for foreign deferred taxes.

Capital Expenditures
Year-to-date capital expenditures decreased to $436 million, compared with $498 million in 2016. The decrease in capital expenditures reflects lower planned investments in the lease fleet, partially offset by higher planned investments to refresh the commercial rental fleet. Proceeds, primarily from used vehicle sales, of $97 million decreased 20% compared with $121 million in 2016, primarily due to lower vehicle pricing. Net capital expenditures (including proceeds from the sale of assets) were $340 million in 2017, down from $377 million in 2016.

Exhibit 99.1

Cash Flow and Leverage
Year-to-date operating cash flow was $331 million, down 10% from $368 million in 2016. Total cash generated (a non-GAAP measure that includes proceeds from used vehicle sales) was $444 million, compared with $514 million in 2016. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) was $83 million, compared with negative $61 million in 2016, reflecting lower net capital spending. The Company’s full-year 2017 forecast for operating cash flow remains unchanged at $1.7 billion. The Company's full-year free cash flow forecast remains unchanged at $250 million.

Debt decreased by $65 million compared with year-end 2016. Debt to equity was 256% compared with 263% at year-end 2016, and within Ryder’s long-term target range of 225% to 275%. The year-end debt to equity forecast remains unchanged at 240%.


2017 Earnings Forecast

Commenting on the Company’s outlook, Mr. Sanchez said, "We are reducing our full-year earnings forecast, driven by lowered expectations in our transactional businesses, primarily in commercial rental. Although we are seeing a seasonal uptick in commercial rental demand, the weaker than expected demand that we saw in the first quarter is expected to continue through the balance of the year. Based on our demonstrated ability to quickly right size our fleet to shifts in market demand, we expect improved rental utilization comparisons in the second half. Used vehicle sales results are anticipated to be below original expectations due to modestly lower pricing, reflecting continued high levels of inventory in the used vehicle market. We expect Ryder's used vehicle inventories to be near the midpoint of our target range by year end, which better positions us as we enter 2018. We also anticipate maintenance costs to be moderately above our prior forecast due to increased costs on certain older model year vehicles. Supply Chain Solutions is expected to perform generally in line with expectations for the full year, as the first quarter out-performance is not expected to continue in the remainder of the year. We expect Dedicated Transportation Solutions to continue to be negatively impacted by the items we saw in the first quarter but to a lesser degree. Lease sales continue to be strong, especially growth from companies that are outsourcing for the first time, and we expect to meet or exceed our full year fleet growth forecast. The business is generating positive free cash flow and leverage is expected to decline, which provides us with increasing financial flexibility as we move into 2018."

In view of these factors, Ryder is revising its full-year 2017 GAAP EPS forecast to a range of $3.90 to $4.20 from a prior forecast of $4.78 to $5.08. Additionally, the Company's full-year 2017 comparable EPS

5

Exhibit 99.1

forecast has been revised to a range of $4.25 to $4.55 from a prior range of $5.10 to $5.40. The Company is also establishing a second quarter 2017 GAAP EPS forecast range of $0.79 to $0.89, and a comparable EPS forecast range of $0.87 to $0.97, reflecting unfavorable year-over-year comparisons in both commercial rental and used vehicle sales, as well as from accelerated depreciation on vehicles.

technology, and retail industries rely on Ryder’s leading-edge technologies and world-class logistics engineers to help them deliver the goods that consumers use every day.

Notations
Earnings Before Tax (EBT): Ryder’s primary measurement of business segment financial performance, earnings before tax (EBT), allocates Central Support Services to each business segment and excludes restructuring and other items, as well as non-operating pension costs.

Capital Expenditures: In Ryder’s business, capital expenditures are generally used to purchase revenue earning equipment (trucks, tractors, and trailers) primarily to support the full service lease product line and secondarily to support the commercial rental product line within Ryder’s FMS business segment. The level of capital required to support the full service lease product line varies directly with customer contract signings for growth and replacement vehicles. These contracts are long-term agreements that result in ongoing revenues and cash flows to Ryder, typically over a three- to ten-year term. The commercial rental product line utilizes capital for the purchase of vehicles to replenish and expand the Company’s fleet available for shorter-term use by contractual or occasional customers.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:
Certain statements and information included in this news release are "forward-looking statements" under the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including our expectations regarding market conditions, earnings performance, revenue in our business segments, fleet size, demand and pricing trends in commercial rental and used vehicle sales, cash flow measures, capital expenditures, debt, adjusted ROC, and our 2017 outlook. Accordingly, these forward-looking statements should be evaluated with consideration given to the many risks and uncertainties inherent in our business that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, among others, lower than expected lease sales, further decreases in commercial rental demand or poor acceptance of rental pricing, our ability to right-size our commercial rental fleet in line with demand, availability of labor to maintain our fleet at normalized levels, ability to redeploy and prepare for sale in a cost-efficient manner, worsening of market demand for used vehicles or greater than expected negative effects of excess inventory levels impacting current pricing, residual values and our anticipated proportion of retail versus wholesale sales, lack of customer demand for on-demand maintenance, higher than expected maintenance costs from new engine technology or due to lower than expected benefits from maintenance initiatives, decreases in freight demand or volumes, poor operational execution particularly with start-ups and new product launches, our ability to obtain adequate profit margins for our services, our inability to maintain current pricing levels due to soft economic conditions, uncertainty and instability in the global economic market, business interruptions or expenditures due to severe weather or natural occurrences, competition from other service providers and new entrants, customer retention levels, loss of key customers, driver and technician shortages resulting in higher procurement costs and turnover rates, unexpected bad debt reserves or write-offs, changes in customers’ business environments that will limit their ability to commit to long-term vehicle leases, a decrease in credit ratings, increased debt costs, adequacy of accounting estimates, reserves and accruals particularly with respect to pension, taxes, depreciation, insurance and revenue, sudden or unusual changes in fuel prices, unanticipated currency exchange rate fluctuations, our ability to manage our cost structure, and the risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks included here are not exhaustive. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risks on our business. Accordingly, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
