ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION |
ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION | NOTE A – ORGANIZATIO N AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION ​ ArcBest Corporation™ (the “Company”) is a multibillion-dollar integrated logistics company that helps keep the global supply chain moving. The Company’s operations are conducted through its three reportable operating segments: Asset-Based, which consists of ABF Freight System, Inc. and certain other subsidiaries (“ABF Freight”); ArcBest, the Company’s asset-light logistics operation; and FleetNet. References to the Company in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are primarily to the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. ​ The Asset-Based segment represented approximately 51% of the Company’s total revenues before other revenues and intercompany eliminations for the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 2022, approximately 82% of the Asset-Based segment’s employees were covered under a collective bargaining agreement, the ABF National Master Freight Agreement (the “2018 ABF NMFA”), with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (the “IBT”), which will remain in effect through June 30, 2023. ​ On November 1, 2021, we acquired MoLo Solutions, LLC (“MoLo”). As a result of the acquisition, MoLo® became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquired operations are reported within the ArcBest segment of our Asset-Light operations (see Note K). The fair value measurements related to MoLo reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are preliminary, as fair values of acquired assets and liabilities assumed are subject to revision during the measurement period if information becomes available that warrants further adjustments. See Note C for further discussion of the MoLo acquisition. ​ Financial Statement Presentation ​ The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pertaining to interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all information or footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other current filings with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. ​ The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts may differ from those estimates. ​ Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted ​ Management believes there is no new accounting guidance issued but not yet effective that would have a material impact to the Company’s current financial statements. ​
