(1) Revenues and operating income or loss from segments below the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments. Those segments include driver training schools, transportation-related activities such as third-party equipment maintenance and equipment leasing, other business activities, and corporate related items which are incidental to our activities and are not attributable to any of our operating segments.

(2) The significant expense categories and amounts align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. Inter-segment expenses are included within the amounts shown.

(3) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, salaries, wages and benefits for the TTS segment included costs of $18.0 million related to the consolidated class action lawsuits entitled Abarca et al. v. Werner. For additional information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, salaries, wages and benefits for the TTS and Werner Logistics segments included severance costs of $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, related to cost saving initiatives.

(4) During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, insurance and claims expense for the TTS segment was offset by a $45.7 million liability reversal as a result of a favorable decision related to a lawsuit arising from a December 2014 accident. For additional information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies.

(5) Other segment items for each reportable segment primarily includes costs for professional services. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the TTS segment incurred legal fees of $3.4 million related to the Abarca et al. v. Werner litigation discussed above. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, other segment items for the TTS segment were partially offset by a net favorable change of $7.8 million to the contingent earnout liability related to the Baylor Trucking, Inc. acquisition. For additional information regarding this contingent consideration arrangement, see Note 5 – Fair Value.
