1. GENERAL

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) and all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (subsidiaries) and variable interest entities (VIE) where Ryder is determined to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Ryder is deemed to be the primary beneficiary if we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and we share in the significant risks and rewards of the entity. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year. Certain prior period amounts disclosed within the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

We report our financial performance based on three business segments: (1) Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides full service leasing and leasing with flexible maintenance options, commercial rental and maintenance services of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the United States (U.S.) and Canada; (2) Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides integrated logistics solutions, including distribution management, dedicated transportation, transportation management, brokerage, e-commerce, last mile, and professional services in North America; and (3) Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS), which provides turnkey transportation solutions in the U.S., including dedicated vehicles, professional drivers, management, and administrative support. Dedicated transportation services provided as part of an operationally integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution to SCS customers are primarily reported in the SCS business segment.


2. SEGMENT REPORTING

Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as segment "Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes" (EBT), includes an allocation of costs from Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes Non-operating pension costs, net, intangible amortization expense, and certain other items as discussed in Note 14, "Other Items Impacting Comparability." The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

Residual Value Estimate Changes

We periodically review and adjust, as appropriate, the estimated residual values and useful lives of existing revenue earning equipment for the purposes of recording depreciation expense. Reductions in estimated residual values or useful lives will increase depreciation expense over the remaining useful life of the vehicle. Conversely, an increase in estimated residual values or useful lives will decrease depreciation expense over the remaining useful life of the vehicle. At the end of the vehicle's useful life or termination of the lease, the vehicle is either sold to a third party or purchased by the lessee, in which case we may record a gain or loss for the difference between the estimated residual value and the sale price.

Our review of the estimated residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment is based on vehicle class (i.e., generally subcategories of trucks, tractors and trailers by weight and usage), historical and current market prices, third-party expected future market prices, expected lives of vehicles, and expected sales in the wholesale or retail markets, among other factors. A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, could cause residual value estimates to differ from actual used vehicle sales pricing, such as changes in supply and demand of used vehicles; volatility in market conditions; changes in vehicle technology; competitor pricing; regulatory requirements; wholesale market prices; customer requirements and preferences; and changes in underlying assumption factors. We have disciplines related to the management and maintenance of our vehicles designed to manage the risk associated with the residual values of our revenue earning equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not adjust the estimated residual values and useful lives of existing revenue earning equipment.
Used Vehicle Sales and Valuation Adjustments

Revenue earning equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses on vehicles held for sale for which carrying values exceeded fair value, which we refer to as "valuation adjustments," are recognized at the time they are deemed to meet the held-for-sale criteria and are presented within "Used vehicle sales, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, we stratify our fleet by vehicle type (trucks, tractors and trailers), weight class, age and other relevant characteristics and create classes of similar assets for analysis purposes. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, fair value was determined based upon recent market prices obtained from our own sales experience for each class of similar assets and vehicle condition, if available, or third-party market pricing. In addition, we also consider expected declines in market prices, as well as, forecasted sales channel mix (retail/wholesale) when valuing the vehicles held for sale.

Debt proceeds were used to repay maturing debt and for general corporate purposes. If the unsecured medium-term notes are downgraded below investment grade following, or as a result of, a change in control, the note holders can require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of principal value plus accrued and unpaid interest.

As of March 31, 2024, there was $540 million available under the global revolving credit facility. In order to maintain availability of funding, we must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated net worth of less than or equal to 300%, as defined in the credit facility agreement. As of March 31, 2024, the ratio was 190%.

We had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding of $477 million and $466 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.

As of March 31, 2024, the available proceeds under the trade receivables financing program were $197 million. As of March 31, 2024, utilization of this program included borrowing of $20 million and letters of credit outstanding of $83 million.


9. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

We currently maintain two share repurchase programs approved by our board of directors in October 2023. The first program authorized management to repurchase up to 2 million shares issued to employees under our employee stock plans since August 31, 2023, under a new anti-dilutive program (the "2023 Anti-Dilutive Program"). The second program grants management discretion to repurchase up to 2 million shares of common stock over a period of two years under a new discretionary share repurchase program (the "October 2023 Discretionary Program"). Both the 2023 Anti-Dilutive Program and the October 2023 Discretionary Program commenced October 12, 2023, and expire October 12, 2025. Share repurchases under both programs can be made from time to time using our working capital and other borrowing sources. Shares are repurchased under open-market transactions and trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors, including balance sheet leverage, availability of acquisitions and stock price.

The discretionary share repurchase programs are designed to provide management with capital structure flexibility while concurrently managing objectives related to balance sheet leverage, acquisition opportunities, and shareholder returns. The anti-dilutive share repurchase programs are designed to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans.

15.  CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS

We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our continuing business operations, including those relating to commercial and employment claims, environmental matters, risk management matters (e.g., vehicle liability, workers' compensation, etc.) and administrative assessments primarily associated with operating taxes. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. We believe that the resolution of these claims, complaints and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our estimated liability based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.

Securities Litigation Relating to Residual Value Estimates

On May 20, 2020, a putative class action on behalf of purchasers of our securities who purchased or otherwise acquired their securities between July 23, 2015 and February 13, 2020, inclusive (Class Period), was commenced against Ryder and certain of our current and former officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the "Securities Class Action"). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants misrepresented Ryder's depreciation policy and residual value estimates for its vehicles during the Class Period, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and seeks to recover, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and attorneys' fees and costs. On August 3, 2020, the State of Alaska, Alaska Permanent Fund, City of Fort Lauderdale General Employees' Retirement System, and City of Plantation Police Officers Pension Fund were appointed lead plaintiffs. On October 5, 2020, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On December 4, 2020, Ryder and the other named defendants in the case filed a Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint. On May 12, 2022, the court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss. The court entered a case management schedule on June 27, 2022, which, among other things, provides that discovery shall be completed by October 2023 and trial shall commence in June 2024. On April 18, 2023, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the Securities Class Action. On May 19, 2023, plaintiffs filed an unopposed Motion for Preliminary Approval of the settlement, with corresponding settlement documentation. On February 20, 2024, the court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement and authorizing dissemination of the notice of settlement. We expect that the settlement amount will be covered by insurance, and accordingly is not material to our financial position or results of operations.

Between June 2020 and February 2, 2021, five shareholder derivative complaints were filed purportedly on behalf of Ryder against us as nominal defendant and certain of our current and former officers and directors. The derivative complaints are generally based on the allegations set forth in the Securities Class Action and allege breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment and waste of corporate assets. The derivative plaintiffs, on our behalf, seek an award of monetary damages and restitution to us, improvements in our corporate governance and internal procedures, and legal fees. Three of these derivative complaints were filed in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, and were then consolidated into a single action (the "State Action"). Two of the derivative complaints were filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the "Federal Actions", and together with the State Action, the "Derivative Cases"). All of the Derivative Cases were stayed (stopped) pending the resolution of the motion to dismiss the Securities Class Action. On July 18, 2022, the Federal Actions were further stayed pending the final resolution of the State Action. On July 26, 2022, the State Action was further stayed until the conclusion of summary judgment proceedings in the Securities Class Action (except that certain discovery would be permitted). In September 2023, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve the Derivative Cases in exchange for certain specified corporate reforms, subject to the execution of definitive settlement documentation and court approval. We expect that any settlement amount of plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with the settlement of the Derivative Cases also will be covered by insurance, and accordingly is not material to our financial position or results of operations.

17. ACQUISITIONS

On February 1, 2024, we acquired all the outstanding equity of CLH Parent Corporation (Cardinal Logistics) for a purchase price of $297 million. Cardinal Logistics is a leading customized dedicated contract carrier in North America, providing dedicated

fleets and professional drivers, as well as complementary freight brokerage services, last-mile delivery and contract logistics services. We expect that the acquisition will increase our scale and network density and further advances our strategy to accelerate growth in DTS.

We believe that we have sufficient information to provide a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation excludes certain items to be resolved post-closing with the seller, which may result in additional adjustments to the final purchase price. Therefore, the provisional measurements of estimated fair values reflected are subject to change. We have preliminarily estimated goodwill of $74 million and intangible assets, net of $165 million for the Cardinal Logistics acquisition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. We expect to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase consideration allocation no later than one year from the acquisition date.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included under Item 1, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related MD&A included in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.


OVERVIEW

General

We operate in highly competitive markets. Our customers select us based on numerous factors, including service quality, price, technology and service offerings. As an alternative to using our services, customers may choose to provide these services for themselves, or may choose to obtain similar or alternative services from other third-party vendors. Our customer base includes enterprises operating in a variety of industries including food and beverage service, transportation and logistics, retail and consumer goods, automotive, industrial, housing, technology, and business and personal services.

SELECTED OPERATING PERFORMANCE ITEMS

Diluted EPS from continuing operations of $1.89 in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $2.95 in prior year
Comparable EPS (a non-GAAP measure) from continuing operations of $2.14 in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $2.81 in prior year, reflecting weaker market conditions in used vehicle sales and rental, partially offset by higher Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) and ChoiceLease results
Total revenue of $3.1 billion in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $3.0 billion in prior year
Operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure) of $2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2024, up 6%, reflecting recent acquisitions and contractual revenue growth, partially offset by lower commercial rental revenue in Fleet Management Solutions (FMS)
Adjusted Return on Equity (ROE) (a non-GAAP measure) of 17% for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $526 million and free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) of $13 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024


Business Trends

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, market conditions for used vehicle sales and commercial rental continued to weaken. We continue to benefit, though, from favorable secular trends in logistics and transportation solutions, including supply chain disruptions. These secular trends provide long-term growth opportunities for our SCS and Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) business segments. In addition, the integration of our recent acquisitions (IFS Holdings, LLC, a holding company for Impact Fulfillment Services, LLC (IFS), in the fourth quarter of 2023, and CLH Parent Corporation (Cardinal Logistics) during the first quarter of 2024) are in line with our expectations.

In our FMS business, used vehicle pricing declined from the prior year. Our commercial rental operations are seasonal and the lowest revenue of the year is typically generated in the first quarter due to lower market demand. We generally decrease the size of the rental fleet during the first quarter of each year to mitigate the seasonal effect of lower demand and utilization; however, we experienced lower than expected rental demand and rental utilization was 66% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 75% in the prior year comparative period. We anticipate that market conditions, including a freight recessionary environment, will remain weak through most of 2024 for used vehicle sales and rental with gradual improvements expected towards the second half of the year. Our maintenance cost savings initiatives continue to benefit earnings and our lease pricing initiatives are delivering improved portfolio returns. We expect to continue to realize incremental earnings benefits as our remaining portfolio is renewed at higher returns.

In our SCS business, outsourcing trends in warehousing and distribution continue. The acquisition of IFS as well as brokerage and logistics business from the acquisition of Cardinal Logistics drove total revenue and operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure) growth in the first three months of 2024. The dedicated business from the Cardinal Logistics acquisition drove operating revenue growth in DTS and we expect this acquisition to significantly benefit DTS revenue for the remainder of 2024. SCS and DTS contract sales activity slowed during the first quarter of 2024, consistent with a weaker freight environment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
While we are experiencing positive momentum in our businesses, other unknown effects from extended higher fuel prices, inflationary cost pressures, labor interruptions, extended disruptions in vehicle and vehicle part production and the higher interest rate environment may negatively impact demand for our business, financial results and significant judgments and estimates.

The following discussion provides a summary of financial highlights that are discussed in more detail throughout our MD&A and within the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

Total revenue increased 5% in the first quarter of 2024 due to higher operating revenue, partially offset by lower fuel revenue. Operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) increased 6% in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting recent acquisitions and contractual revenue growth partially offset by lower commercial rental revenue in FMS.

EBT and comparable EBT (a non-GAAP measure) decreased in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower gains on used vehicles sold and lower commercial rental results in FMS. These decreases were partially offset by favorable comparisons to 2023, due to a prior year $30 million asset impairment charge in SCS.

Services revenue represents all the revenue associated with our SCS and DTS business segments, including subcontracted transportation and fuel, as well as SelectCare revenue associated with our FMS business segment. Services revenue increased 12% in the first quarter of 2024, due to increases in DTS and SCS revenue primarily driven by recent acquisitions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
Cost of services represents the direct costs related to services revenue and is primarily comprised of salaries and employee-related costs, subcontracted transportation (purchased transportation from third parties), fuel, equipment and maintenance costs. Cost of services increased 8% in the first quarter of 2024, from growth in revenue and also reflecting a prior year $30 million SCS asset impairment charge.

Services gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the prior year SCS asset impairment and increased pricing in SCS.

Cost of lease & related maintenance and rental669 674  (1)%
Gross margin$267 $305  (12)%
Gross margin %29%31%

Lease & related maintenance and rental revenue represent revenue from our ChoiceLease and commercial rental product offerings within our FMS business segment. Revenue decreased 4% in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower rental demand, which was partially offset by ChoiceLease growth.

Cost of lease & related maintenance and rental represents the direct costs related to Lease & related maintenance and rental revenue and are comprised of depreciation of revenue earning equipment, maintenance costs (primarily repair parts and labor), and other costs such as licenses, insurance and operating taxes. Cost of lease & related maintenance and rental excludes interest costs from vehicle financing, which are reported within "Interest expense" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Cost of lease & related maintenance and rental decreased 1% in the first quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting lower maintenance costs due to a younger vehicle fleet and maintenance cost savings initiatives partially offset by increased costs on a larger fleet.

Lease & related maintenance and rental gross margin decreased in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower rental demand. Lease & related maintenance and rental gross margin percentage decreased to 29% in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower rental utilization.

Fuel services revenue$124 $152  (18)%
Cost of fuel services121 149  (19)%
Gross margin$3 $ —%
Gross margin %2%2%

Fuel services revenue represents fuel services provided to our FMS customers. Fuel services revenue decreased 18% in the first quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting lower fuel prices passed through to customers and a lower volume of gallons sold.

Cost of fuel services includes the direct costs associated with providing our customers with fuel. These costs include fuel, salaries and employee-related costs of fuel island attendants and depreciation of our fueling facilities and equipment. Cost of fuel services decreased 19% in the first quarter of 2024, as a result of lower fuel prices and a lower volume of gallons sold.

Fuel services gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of revenue was consistent in the first quarter of 2024, compared to prior year. Fuel is largely a pass-through to customers for which we realize minimal changes in margin during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, fuel services margin is impacted by sudden increases or decreases in market fuel prices during a short period of time, as customer pricing for fuel is established based on current market fuel costs. Fuel services gross margin for

SG&A expenses increased 4% in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2024 primarily reflects increased expenses from recent acquisitions partially offset by lower marketing expenses reflecting prior year strategic investments. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue remained at 12% for the first quarter of 2024.

(3)Refer to Note 14, "Other Items Impacting Comparability," and below for a discussion of items excluded from our primary measure of segment performance.

As part of management's evaluation of segment operating performance, we define the primary measurement of our segment financial performance as segment "Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes" (EBT), which includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes Non-operating pension costs, net, intangible amortization expense, and certain other items as discussed in Note 14, "Other Items Impacting Comparability," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including finance and procurement, corporate services, human resources, information technology, public affairs, legal, marketing, and corporate communications.

The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Certain corporate costs are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation.

Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment, and provides rental vehicles, fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the SCS and DTS segments.  Inter-segment EBT allocated to SCS and DTS includes earnings related to equipment used in providing services to SCS and DTS customers. EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to SCS and

EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services on these acquired vehicles billed to DTS drove the increase in DTS equipment contribution in the first quarter of 2024. This increase was partially offset by lower gains on sales of used vehicles.

(2)Non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A for reconciliations of the most comparable GAAP measure to the non-GAAP financial measure and the reasons why management believes this measure is important to investors.

FMS total revenue decreased 3% in the first quarter of 2024, due to lower fuel costs passed through to customers and lower operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel). FMS operating revenue decreased 1% in the first quarter of 2024, due to lower commercial rental revenue, largely offset by higher ChoiceLease revenue, including the inter-segment lease revenue with DTS from the Cardinal Logistics acquisition.

26

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
FMS EBT decreased 45% in the first quarter of 2024, primarily from lower gains on used vehicle sales compared to elevated levels in the prior year as well as weaker rental demand, partially offset by ChoiceLease results and maintenance cost savings initiatives. Lower gains on used vehicle sales reflect a 30% and 34% decrease in used truck and tractor pricing, respectively, partially offset by higher volumes. Rental power fleet utilization decreased to 66% from 75% in the first quarter of the prior year, on a 13% smaller average power fleet.

Gross capital expenditures decreased to $716 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily reflecting lower investments in commercial rental.

Financing and Other Funding Transactions

We utilize external capital primarily to support working capital needs and growth in our asset-based product lines. The variety of financing alternatives typically available to fund our capital needs include commercial paper, long-term and medium-term public and private debt, asset-backed securities, bank term loans, leasing arrangements and bank credit facilities. Our principal sources of financing are issuances of unsecured commercial paper and medium-term notes.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $234 million as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, $131 million was held outside the U.S. and is available to fund operations. Our intention is to permanently reinvest the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of our non-operating U.K. subsidiary where the assertion was removed in 2021. Federal, state and foreign income taxes, withholding taxes and the tax impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses were considered on the remaining U.K. undistributed earnings as of March 31, 2024, and there was no impact to deferred taxes.

We believe that our operating cash flows, together with our access to the public unsecured bond market, commercial paper market and other available debt financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs in the foreseeable future. However, volatility or disruption in the public unsecured debt market or the commercial paper market may impair our ability to access these markets or secure terms commercially acceptable to us. If we cease to have access to public bonds, commercial paper and other sources of unsecured borrowings, we would meet our liquidity needs by drawing upon contractually committed lending agreements or by seeking other funding sources.

31

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
In February 2024, we issued two tranches of unsecured medium-term notes with aggregate principal amounts of $350 million and $550 million, bearing annual interest of 5.30% and 5.38%, respectively, and maturing on March 15, 2027 and March 15, 2029, respectively. Refer to Note 8, "Debt," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our global revolving credit facility, trade receivables financing program, medium-term notes, and asset-backed financing obligations.

Our ability to access unsecured debt in the capital markets is impacted by both our short-term and long-term debt ratings. These ratings are intended to provide guidance to investors in determining the credit risk associated with our particular securities based on current information obtained by the rating agencies from us or from other sources. Ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold our debt securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs, as well as reduced access to unsecured capital markets. A significant downgrade of our short-term debt ratings would impair our ability to issue commercial paper and likely require us to rely on alternative funding sources. A significant downgrade would not affect our ability to borrow amounts under our global revolving credit facility described below, assuming ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit facility.

Our debt ratings and rating outlooks as of March 31, 2024, were as follows:
Rating Summary
 Short-termShort-term OutlookLong-termLong-term Outlook
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services A2BBB+Stable
Moody’s Investors ServiceP2StableBaa2Stable

As of March 31, 2024, we had the following amounts available to fund operations under the following facilities:
(In millions)
Global revolving credit facility$540 
Trade receivables financing program$197 


In accordance with our funding philosophy, we attempt to align the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our debt with the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our vehicle assets. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to achieve this alignment and generally target a mix of 20% - 40% variable-rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. The variable-rate portion of our total debt (including notional value of swap agreements) was 18% and 16% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Our debt-to-equity ratio was 246% and 232% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The debt-to-equity ratio represents total debt divided by total equity.

Share Repurchases and Cash Dividends.

Refer to Note 9, "Share Repurchase Programs," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on our share repurchase programs.

In February 2024 and 2023, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.71 and $0.62 per share of common stock, respectively.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes information extracted from condensed consolidated financial information, but not required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) to be presented in the financial statements. Certain elements of this information are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined by SEC rules. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. Also, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to financial measures used by other companies. We provide a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure in this non-GAAP financial measures section or in the MD&A above. We also provide the reasons why management believes each non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in this section.
Specifically, we refer to the following non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
Set forth in the table below is an overview of each non-GAAP financial measure and why management believes that the presentation of each non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors.
Operating Revenue Measures:
Operating Revenue

FMS Operating Revenue

SCS Operating Revenue

DTS Operating Revenue


FMS EBT as a % of FMS Operating Revenue

SCS EBT as a % of SCS Operating Revenue

DTS EBT as a % of DTS Operating Revenue
Operating revenue is defined as total revenue for Ryder or each business segment (FMS, SCS and DTS) excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation. We use operating revenue to evaluate the operating performance of our core businesses and as a measure of sales activity at the consolidated level for Ryder System, Inc., as well as for each of our business segments. We also use segment EBT as a percentage of segment operating revenue for each business segment for the same reason. Note: FMS EBT, SCS EBT and DTS EBT, our primary measures of segment performance, are not non-GAAP measures.

Fuel: We exclude FMS, SCS and DTS fuel from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as fuel is an ancillary service that we provide our customers. Fuel revenue is impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices and the costs are largely a pass-through to our customers, resulting in minimal changes in our profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time, as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on current market fuel costs.
  
Subcontracted transportation: We exclude subcontracted transportation from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as these services are also typically a pass-through to our customers and, therefore, fluctuations result in minimal changes to our profitability. While our SCS and DTS business segments subcontract certain transportation services to third party providers, our FMS business segment does not engage in subcontracted transportation and, therefore, this item is not applicable to FMS.
Comparable Earnings Measures:
Comparable Earnings before Income Taxes (EBT)

Comparable Earnings

Comparable Earnings per Diluted Common Share (EPS)

Comparable Tax Rate

Adjusted Return on Equity (ROE)
Comparable EBT, Comparable Earnings and Comparable EPS are defined, respectively, as GAAP EBT, earnings and EPS, all from continuing operations, excluding (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) other items impacting comparability (as further described below). We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors and allow for better year-over-year comparison of operating performance.

Non-operating pension costs, net: Our comparable earnings measures exclude non-operating pension costs, net, which include the amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement benefit costs, as well as any significant charges for settlements or curtailments if recognized. We exclude non-operating pension costs, net because we consider these to be impacted by financial market performance and outside the operational performance of our business.

Other Items Impacting Comparability: Our comparable and adjusted earnings measures also exclude other significant items that are not representative of our business operations and vary from period to period.

Comparable Tax Rate is computed using the same methodology as the GAAP provision for income taxes. Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated based on the marginal tax rates to which the non-GAAP adjustments are related.

Adjusted ROE is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by adjusted average shareholders' equity and represents the rate of return on shareholders' investment. Other items impacting comparability described above are excluded, as applicable, from the calculation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted average shareholders' equity. We also exclude any significant charges for pension settlements or curtailments from the calculation of adjusted net earnings. We use adjusted ROE as an internal measure of how effectively we use the owned capital invested in our operations.
34

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
Comparable Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
Comparable EBITDA is defined as net earnings, first adjusted to exclude discontinued operations and the following items, all from continuing operations: (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) any other items that are not representative of our business operations (these items are the same items that are excluded from comparable earnings measures for the relevant periods as described immediately above) and then adjusted further for (1) interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation, (4) used vehicle sales results and (5) amortization.

We believe comparable EBITDA provides investors with useful information, as it is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties to measure financial performance and our ability to service debt and meet our payment obligations. We believe that the inclusion of comparable EBITDA also provides consistency in financial reporting and aids investors in performing meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. Our presentation of comparable EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Comparable EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP.
Cash Flow Measures:
Total Cash Generated

Free Cash Flow
We consider total cash generated and free cash flow to be important measures of comparative operating performance, as our principal sources of operating liquidity are cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment.
 
Total Cash Generated is defined as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment, (3) net cash provided by the sale of operating property and equipment and (4) other cash inflows from investing activities. We believe total cash generated is an important measure of total cash flows generated from our ongoing business activities.

Free Cash Flow is defined as the net amount of cash generated from operating activities and investing activities (excluding changes in restricted cash and acquisitions) from continuing operations. We calculate free cash flow as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, and (3) other cash inflows from investing activities, less (4) purchases of property and revenue earning equipment. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and for shareholders, after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. Our calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

our intent to permanently reinvest the earnings of our non U.K. & Germany foreign subsidiaries indefinitely;
our expectations regarding the benefits from our strategic investments and initiatives, including the integration of our recent acquisitions, and maintenance and lease pricing initiatives;
the anticipated impact of inflationary pressures;
our expectations of the long-term residual values of revenue earnings equipment, including the probability of incurring losses or having to decrease residual value estimates in the event of a potential cyclical downturn or changes to the estimated useful lives; and
our expectations regarding the U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax positions and realizability of deferred tax assets.
These statements, as well as other forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, are based on our current plans and expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We caution readers that certain important factors could cause actual results and events to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. These risk factors, among others, include the following:
Market Conditions:
Changes in general economic and financial conditions in the U.S. and worldwide leading to decreased demand for our services and products, lower profit margins, increased levels of bad debt, and reduced access to credit and financial markets.
Decreases in freight demand which would impact both our transactional and variable-based contractual business.
Changes in our customers' operations, financial condition or business environment that may limit their demand for, or ability to purchase, our services and products.
Decreases in market demand affecting the commercial rental market and used vehicle sales as well as global economic conditions.
Volatility in customer volumes and shifting customer demand in the industries we service.
Changes in current financial, tax or other regulatory requirements that could negatively impact our financial and operating results.
Financial institution disruptions and the impacts of geopolitical events or conflicts.
Competition:
Advances in technology may impact demand for our services or may require increased investments to remain competitive, and our customers may not be willing to accept higher prices to cover the cost of these investments.
Competition from other service providers, some of which may have greater capital resources or lower capital costs, or from our customers, who may choose to provide services themselves.
Continued consolidation in the markets where we operate, which may create large competitors with greater financial resources.
Our inability to maintain current pricing levels due to economic conditions, demand for services, customer acceptance or competition.
Profitability:
Lower than expected sales volumes or customer retention levels.
Decreases in commercial rental fleet utilization and pricing.
Lower than expected used vehicle sales pricing levels and fluctuations in the anticipated proportion of retail versus wholesale sales.
