Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
Note 1 — Introduction and Basis of Presentation
Certain acronyms and terms used throughout this Quarterly Report are specific to the Company, commonly used in the trucking industry, or are otherwise frequently used throughout this document. Definitions for these acronyms and terms are provided in the "Glossary of Terms," available in the front of this document.
Description of Business
Knight-Swift is a transportation solutions provider, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. During the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2024, the Company operated an average of 23,071 tractors (comprised of 20,913 company tractors and 2,158 independent contractor tractors) and 93,495 trailers within the Truckload segment and leasing activities within the non-reportable segments. The LTL segment operated an average of 3,393 tractors and 8,796 trailers. Additionally, the Intermodal segment operated an average of 611 tractors and 12,581 intermodal containers. As of June 30, 2024, the Company's four reportable segments were Truckload, LTL, Logistics, and Intermodal.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in this Quarterly Report include the accounts of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Knight-Swift's 2023 Annual Report. In management's opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and include all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for the fair statement of the periods presented.
With respect to transactional/durational data, references to years pertain to calendar years. Similarly, references to quarters pertain to calendar quarters.
Note regarding comparability — The reported results do not include U.S. Xpress's operating results prior to its acquisition by the Company on July 1, 2023 in accordance with the accounting treatment applicable to the transaction. Accordingly, comparisons between the Company's current and prior period results may not be meaningful.
Seasonality
In the full truckload transportation industry, results of operations generally follow a seasonal pattern. Freight volumes in the first quarter are typically lower due to less consumer demand, customers reducing shipments following the holiday season, and inclement weather. At the same time, operating expenses generally increase, and tractor productivity of the Company's Truckload fleet, independent contractors and third-party carriers decreases during the winter months due to decreased fuel efficiency, increased cold weather-related equipment maintenance and repairs, and increased insurance claims and costs attributed to higher accident frequency from harsh weather. These factors typically lead to lower operating profitability, as compared to other parts of the year. Additionally, beginning in the latter half of the third quarter and continuing into the fourth quarter, the Company typically experiences surges pertaining to holiday shopping trends toward delivery of gifts purchased over the Internet, as well as the length of the holiday season (consumer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas). However, as the Company continues to diversify its business through expansion into the LTL industry, warehousing, and other activities, seasonal volatility is becoming more tempered. Additionally, macroeconomic trends and cyclical changes in the trucking industry, including imbalances in supply and demand, can override the seasonality faced in the industry.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for comparative purposes only and includes certain adjustments such as recognition of assets acquired at estimated fair values and related depreciation and amortization, elimination of transaction costs incurred by Knight-Swift and U.S. Xpress during the periods presented that were directly related to the U.S. Xpress Acquisition, and related income tax effects of these items. As a result of the U.S. Xpress Acquisition, both Knight-Swift and U.S. Xpress incurred certain acquisition-related expenses, including professional legal and advisory fees, acceleration of share-based compensation, bonus incentives, severance payments, filing fees and other miscellaneous expenses. These acquisition-related expenses totaled $20.7 million and $25.3 million during the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2023. These expenses were eliminated in the presentation of the unaudited pro forma "Net income attributable to Knight-Swift" presented above.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that Knight-Swift and U.S. Xpress would have achieved had the companies been combined during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and is not intended to project the future results of operations that the combined company may achieve after the identified transactions. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings that may be realized as a result of the U.S. Xpress Acquisition and also does not reflect any restructuring or integration-related costs to achieve those potential cost savings.
The Company did not complete any material acquisitions during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 18.5% non-controlling interest of Eleos.
Effective July 30, 2024, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired the operating assets and assumed certain liabilities of the regional less-than-truckload division of Dependable Highway Express, Inc. based in Los Angeles, California for total cash consideration of approximately $185 million funded by the 2021 Revolver. The Company has not completed the initial accounting for this transaction as it is still in the preliminary stages of assessing the fair value of the underlying tangible and intangible assets.
Note 4 — Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate — The quarter ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 effective tax rates were 37.2% and 25.9%, respectively. The year-to-date June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 effective tax rates were 32.4% and 24.7% respectively. The current quarter effective tax rate was primarily impacted by a reduction in pre-tax income.
Valuation Allowance — Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has $10.4 million in valuation allowance associated with the capital loss and state operating loss carryforwards which may not be utilized in the future.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits — The Company has unrecognized tax benefits associated with tax credit carryforwards. Management does not expect a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits relating to credits to be necessary within the next twelve months.
Interest and Penalties — The Company did not have accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Tax Examinations — Certain of the Company's subsidiaries are currently under examination by various Federal and state jurisdictions for tax years ranging from 2009 to 2022. At the completion of these examinations, management does not expect any adjustments which would have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate. Years subsequent to 2018 remain subject to examination.

Note 5 — Accounts Receivable Securitization
On October 23, 2023, the Company entered into the 2023 RSA, which further amended the 2022 RSA. The 2023 RSA is a secured borrowing that is collateralized by the Company's eligible receivables, for which the Company is the servicing agent. The Company's receivable originator subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, undivided interests in all of their eligible accounts receivable to Swift Receivables Company II, LLC ("SRCII") who in turn sells a variable percentage ownership in those receivables to the various purchasers. The Company's eligible receivables are included in "Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts" in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024, the Company's eligible receivables generally have high credit quality, as determined by the obligor's corporate credit rating.
The 2023 RSA is subject to fees, various affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties, and default and termination provisions customary for facilities of this type. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2024. Collections on the underlying receivables by the Company are held for the benefit of SRCII and the various purchasers and are unavailable to satisfy claims of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The following table summarizes the key terms of the 2023 RSA (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | |

Note 9 — Contingencies and Legal Proceedings
Legal Proceedings
The Company is party to certain legal proceedings incidental to its business. The majority of these claims relate to bodily injury, property damage, cargo and workers' compensation incurred in the transportation of freight, as well as certain class action litigation related to personnel and employment matters. We record a liability when we believe that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Based on our present knowledge of the facts and, in certain cases, advice of outside counsel, management believes the resolution of open claims and pending litigation, taking into account existing reserves, is not likely to have a materially adverse impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, any future claims or adverse developments in existing claims could impact this analysis. There are inherent uncertainties in these legal matters, some of which are beyond management's control, making the ultimate outcomes difficult to predict. Moreover, management's views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and the matters continue to develop. Cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies.
The Company has made accruals with respect to its legal matters where appropriate, as well as legal fees which are included in "Accrued liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has recorded an aggregate accrual of approximately $6.6 million, relating to the Company's outstanding legal proceedings as of June 30, 2024.
