This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains historical information and forward-looking statements based on information currently available to our management. The forward-looking statements in this report, including those made in Item 2 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of Part I, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These safe harbor provisions encourage reporting companies to provide prospective information to investors. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of certain words, such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project” and other similar terms and language. We believe the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on currently available information. However, forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, whether known or unknown, that could cause our actual results, business, financial condition and cash flows to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. A discussion of important factors relating to forward-looking statements is included in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”). Readers should not unduly rely on the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q because such statements speak only to the date they were made. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation or duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect subsequent events or circumstances or the occurrence of unanticipated events.

WERNER ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1) Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Werner Enterprises, Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Werner”). Noncontrolling interest on the consolidated condensed balance sheets represents the portion of a consolidated entity in which we do not have a direct equity ownership. In these notes, the terms “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Werner Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions relating to these entities have been eliminated.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) instructions to Form 10-Q and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are all of normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements; although in management’s opinion, the disclosures are adequate so that the information presented is not misleading.
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheets from which it has been derived.
These consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in our 2021 Form 10-K.
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In first quarter 2022, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. The provisions of this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
(2) Business Acquisitions
On July 1, 2021, we acquired an 80% ownership interest in ECM Associated, LLC ("ECM”) for a final purchase price of $141.3 million after net working capital changes and net of cash acquired. ECM, through its ECM Transport, LLC (“ECM Transport”) and Motor Carrier Service, LLC (“MCS”) subsidiaries, provides regional truckload carrier services in the Mid-Atlantic, Ohio, and Northeast regions of the United States. The results of operations for ECM are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning July 1, 2021, and the noncontrolling interest is presented as a separate component of the consolidated financial statements.
On November 22, 2021, we acquired 100% of the equity interests in NEHDS Logistics, LLC (“NEHDS”) for a final purchase price of $62.3 million after including the impacts of contingent consideration and net working capital changes. The purchase price allocation for NEHDS was considered final as of March 31, 2022. NEHDS is a final mile residential delivery provider serving customers primarily in the Northeast and Midwest U.S. markets. NEHDS delivers primarily big and bulky products (primarily furniture and appliances) using 2-person delivery teams performing residential and commercial deliveries. The results of operations for NEHDS are included in our consolidated financial statements beginning November 22, 2021.
Amortization expense on intangible assets was $1.4 million and $4.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
(3) Revenue

Contract Balances and Accounts Receivable
A receivable is an unconditional right to consideration and is recognized when shipments have been completed and the related performance obligation has been fully satisfied. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the accounts receivable, trade, net, balance was $493.1 million and $460.5 million, respectively. Contract assets represent a conditional right to consideration in exchange for goods or services and are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of contract assets was $9.3 million and $9.0 million, respectively. We have recognized contract assets within the other current assets financial statement caption on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. These contract assets are considered current assets as they will be settled in less than 12 months.
Contract liabilities represent advance consideration received from customers and are recognized as revenues over time as the related performance obligation is satisfied. The balance of contract liabilities was $1.2 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The amount of revenues recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that was included in the December 31, 2021 contract liability balance was $1.2 million. We have recognized contract liabilities within the accounts payable and other current liabilities financial statement captions on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. These contract liabilities are considered current liabilities as they will be settled in less than 12 months.
Performance Obligations
We have elected to apply the practical expedient in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, to not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to future reporting periods for freight shipments started but not completed at the reporting date that we expect to recognize as revenue in the period subsequent to the reporting date; transit times generally average approximately 3 days.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, revenues recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods (for example, due to changes in transaction price) were not material.
(4) Leases
We have entered into operating leases primarily for real estate. The leases have terms which range from 1 year to 18 years, and some include options to renew. Renewal terms are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option to renew.
Operating leases are included in other non-current assets, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, using our incremental borrowing rate because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable. We have certain contracts for real estate that may contain lease and non-lease components which we have elected to treat as a single lease component. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease expense is recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Lease expense is reported in rent and purchased transportation on the consolidated statements of income.

Cash Flows
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, right-of-use assets of $12.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively, were recognized as non-cash asset additions that resulted from new operating lease liabilities. Cash paid for amounts included in the present value of operating lease liabilities was $5.9 million and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in operating cash flows.
Operating Lease Expense
Operating lease expense was $5.4 million and $15.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $4.2 million and $11.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. This expense included $2.2 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $1.3 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, for long-term operating leases, with the remainder for variable and short-term lease expense.
Lessor Operating Leases
We are the lessor of tractors and trailers under operating leases with initial terms of 1 to 10 years. We recognize revenue for such leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Revenues were $3.3 million and $9.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $2.9 million and $9.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

(5) Fair Value
Fair Value Measurement — Definition and Hierarchy
ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Such inputs include quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active and inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, where there is little, if any, observable market activity or data for the asset or liability.
In general, and where applicable, we use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine fair value. This pricing methodology applies to our Level 1 assets and liabilities. If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities are not available to determine fair value, then we use quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or inputs other than the quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. This pricing methodology would apply to Level 2 assets and liabilities.
The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

We have no material liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented.
Our ownership interest in Mastery Logistics Systems, Inc. (“MLSI”) does not have a readily determinable fair value and is accounted for using the measurement alternative in ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. For additional information regarding the valuation of our investment in MLSI, see Note 6 – Investments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable trade, and accounts payable are short-term in nature and accordingly are carried at amounts that approximate fair value. These financial instruments are recorded at or near their respective transaction prices and historically have been settled or converted to cash at approximately that value (categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).
The carrying amounts of our long-term debt approximate fair value due to the duration of our credit arrangements and the variable interest rates (categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).
(6) Investments
Equity Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values
In 2020, we entered into a strategic partnership with MLSI, a transportation management systems company. We are collaborating with MLSI to develop a cloud-based transportation management system using MLSI's SaaS technology which we have agreed to license. In June 2022, we paid MLSI $20.0 million for additional shares of its preferred stock. This minority equity investment is being accounted for under ASC 321 using the measurement alternative, and is recorded in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the value of our investment was $86.8 million and $38.2 million, respectively. We record changes in the value of this investment, based on events that occur that would indicate the value of our investment in MLSI has changed, in gain or loss on investments in equity securities on the consolidated statements of income. During second quarter 2022 and third quarter 2021, investments by third-parties resulted in the remeasurements of our investment in MLS, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we recognized an unrealized gain of $28.6 million and in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 we recognized an unrealized gain of $28.2 million on our investment based upon the prices paid by third parties. No gains or losses were recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022, cumulative unrealized gains on our investment in MLSI totaled $56.8 million.
Equity Investments with Readily Determinable Fair Values
We own strategic minority equity investments in autonomous technology companies, which are being accounted for under ASC 321 and are recorded in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. We record changes in the value of these investments, based on the share prices reported by Nasdaq, in gain or loss on investments in equity securities on the consolidated statements of income. We recognized an unrealized gain of $0.1 million and an unrealized loss of $14.2 million on these investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. We recognized an unrealized loss of $12.1 million and an unrealized gain of $8.1 million on our investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. For additional information regarding the fair value of these equity investments, see Note 5 – Fair Value.
(7) Debt and Credit Facilities
On March 25, 2022, we entered into a new credit agreement (the “Wells Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), replacing our previous credit agreement with Wells Fargo dated May 14, 2019, as amended. The Wells Credit Agreement provides for a $300.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit ("Wells Line of Credit"), with a $75.0 million maximum limit for the aggregate amount of letters of credit issued, and expires on May 14, 2024. The Wells Credit Agreement also provides for an unsecured term loan commitment not to exceed a principal amount of $100.0 million ("Wells Term Loan"), with the outstanding principal balance due and payable in full on May 14, 2024. The proceeds of the Wells Line of Credit and Wells Term Loan may be used for the Company's general corporate purposes.
Amounts drawn under the Wells Line of Credit and the outstanding principal balance of the Wells Term Loan bear interest either, at our option, (i) at a variable rate based on the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 0.10% and a margin ranging between 0.675% and 0.925%, or (ii) at a fixed rate based on the Term SOFR in effect on the first day of an applicable interest period designated by us plus 0.10% in the case of one month Term SOFR, 0.15% in the case of three month Term SOFR, 0.25% in the case of six month Term SOFR, and plus, in each case, a margin ranging between 0.675% and 0.925%, payable monthly. The margin rates are based on our ratio of total funded debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The Wells Credit Agreement also requires us to pay Wells Fargo (i) an annualized letter of credit fee based on the face amount of each letter of credit outstanding at rates ranging between 0.55% and 0.80% per annum and (ii) a nonrefundable commitment fee on the average daily unused amount of the Wells Line of Credit (after deducting undrawn letters of credit) at rates ranging between 0.11% and 0.15% per annum. The rates for the letter of credit and nonrefundable commitment fees are based on our ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA.
On March 25, 2022, we also entered into a second amendment to our existing unsecured revolving line of credit agreement, dated May 14, 2019, with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO Harris”), expiring May 14, 2024 (“BMO Line of Credit”). The second amendment increased our BMO Line of Credit from $200.0 million to $300.0 million and changed the variable interest rate calculation by replacing the LIBOR with the SOFR. Amounts drawn under the BMO Line of Credit bear interest, for a selected interest period, at a variable rate based on the SOFR plus 0.10% and a margin ranging between 0.70% and 1.50%, based on our ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA, payable at the end of the applicable interest period. No changes were made to the annualized letter of credit fee, nonrefundable commitment fee, and financial covenants as a result of the second amendment. We also have a $100.0 million unsecured fixed-rate term loan commitment with BMO Harris, with quarterly principal payments of $1.25 million, which began on September 30, 2021, and a final payment of principal and interest due and payable on May 14, 2024 ("BMO Term Loan").
