​

FORT SMITH, Arkansas, April 29, 20 22 — ArcBest® (Nasdaq: ARCB), a leader in supply chain logistics, today reported first quarter 20 22 revenue of $1.3 billion, reflecting an increase of $505.9 million compared to first quarter 2021. Each of ArcBest’s operating segments achieved double-digit percentage revenue growth over the prior year period. First quarter 2022 results includ e the impact of the acquisition of MoLo Solutions, LLC (“MoLo”), which was completed in November 2021.

​

ArcBest’s first quarter 202 2 operating income was $94.9 million and net income was $69.6 million, or $2.68 per diluted share, compared to operating income of $3 2.2 million and net income of $23.4 million, or $0.8 7 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021.

​

Excluding certain items in both periods as identified in the attached reconciliation tables, first quarter n on-GAAP operating income was $108.6 million, compared to $40.8 million in the prior-year period. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $79.8 million, or $3.08 per diluted share, compared to $28.5 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 202 1.

​

“Our outstanding first quarter results, including record profitability, demonstrate our success in transforming ArcBest and positioning it as one of the country’s leading integrated logistics companies,” said Judy R. McReynolds, ArcBest chairman, president and CEO. “Our strategy is working, underscored by improved operating margins across the business, and we are aggressively investing in our vision to ensure we continue innovating, developing our talent, enhancing our ability to serve customers and driving incremental revenue growth. As announced yesterday, our strong cash flow allows us to return more capital to shareholders by increasing both our share repurchase program and our dividend. We are confident our talented team is poised to execute on our clearly defined strategy, which will accelerate our growth trajectory while positioning ArcBest to operate even more efficiently and consistently for years to come.”

First Quarter Results of Operations Comparisons

Asset-Based

First Quarter 20 22 Versus First Q uarter 20 21

| ● | Revenue of $705.3 million compared to $556.3 million, a per-day increase of 25.8 percent.

| ● | Total t onnage per day increase of 3.6 percent, including an increase of 0.9 percent in LTL-rated weight per shipment.

| ● | Total s hipments per day increased 0.2 percent.

1

​

| ● | Total billed revenue per hundredweight increased 21.1 percent and was positively impacted by higher fuel surcharges. Revenue per hundredweight on LTL-rated business, excluding fuel surcharge, improved by a percentage in the double digits.

| ● | Operating income of $80.0 million compared to $30.1 million. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income of $87.0 million compared to $36.9 million.

​

Strength in the pricing environment and an increase in ABF Freight’s average weight per shipment both contributed to strong first quarter revenue growth in ArcBest’s Asset-Based business versus the prior year period. Despite inflationary pressures, customer demand and market rates remained solid and ArcBest continued to deliver on the increasing supply chain needs of its customers through customized logistics solutions. Freight trends with ArcBest’s core LTL customers were also positive throughout the quarter while activities designed to optimize revenue, network balance, freight mix and shipments resulted in more efficient utilization of labor and network resources, and improved profitability. Asset-Based hiring initiatives were successful, contributing to ABF Freight adding over 600 new employees across key locations during the quarter.

​

Asset-Light‡

First Quarter 2022 Versus First Quarter 2021 (including the results of MoLo)

| ● | Revenue of $673.7 million compared to $311.5 million, a per-day increase of 114.6 percent.

| ● | Operating income of $22.8 million compared to $9.3 million. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income of $26.9 million compared to $10.2 million.

| ● | Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) of $29.3 m illion compared to $12.1 million, as detailed in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables.

​

Enhanced customer demand and higher market rates drove strong first quarter revenue growth and record profitability in the ArcBest Asset-Light segment. The integration of MoLo and related synergy realization remains on schedule and is progressing as expected, contributing to increases in truckload brokerage revenue and business levels over the same period last year. In addition, supply chain solutions offered through managed transportation, expedite and international services were meaningful contributors to the enhanced financial results of the Asset-Light business. The higher operating income reflects increased revenue and effective cost management, which also resulted in greater operating leverage.

​

At FleetNet, increases in total events and revenue per event contributed to growth in total revenue and profitability compared to the prior year period.

NOTE

‡ - The ArcBest and FleetNet reportable segments, combined, represent Asset-Light operations.

RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

​

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios utilized for internal analysis provide analysts, investors, and others the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance and provides meaningful comparisons between current and prior period results, as well as important information regarding performance trends. The use of certain non-GAAP measures improves comparability in analyzing our performance because it removes the impact of items from operating results that, in management's opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently; therefore, our calculation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Certain information discussed in the scheduled conference call could be considered non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results. These financial measures should not be construed as better measurements than operating income, operating cash flow, net income or earnings per share, as determined under GAAP.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of performance and for business planning. The measure is particularly meaningful for analysis of operating performance because it excludes amortization of acquired intangibles and software of the Asset-Light businesses and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, which are significant expenses resulting from strategic decisions rather than core daily operations. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a primary component of the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement. The calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as presented below begins with net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The calculation of Asset-Light Adjusted EBITDA as presented below begins with operating income, as other income (costs), income taxes, and net income are reported at the consolidated level and not included in the operating segment financial information evaluated by management to make operating decisions.
