Other Items Impacting Comparability [Abstract] |
OTHER ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY | OTHER ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY Our primary measure of segment performance excludes certain items we do not believe are representative of the ongoing operations of the segment. Excluding these items from our segment measure of performance allows for better year over year comparison. Superstorm Sandy In the fourth quarter of 2012, we incurred a charge of $8 million for property damage to vehicles owned by full service lease customers for which Ryder has liability under certain agreements. This charge was recorded within "Cost of services" in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See Note 27, "Other Matters," for further discussion on the financial impact from Superstorm Sandy. Acquisition-related Transaction Costs During 2012, 2011 and 2010, we incurred acquisition-related transaction costs totaling $0.4 million, $2 million and $4 million, respectively. These charges, which were primarily reflected within “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings, related to the acquisitions of Euroway in 2012, Hill Hire in 2011 and TLC in 2010. Sale of International Facility During 2010, we completed the sale of a facility in Singapore and recognized a pre-tax gain of $1 million. The gain was included within “Miscellaneous income, net” in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
