NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YRC Worldwide Inc. and Subsidiaries

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business

YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide”, “the Company”, “we” or “our”), one of the largest transportation service providers in the world, is a holding company that through wholly owned operating subsidiaries offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. These services include global, national and regional transportation as well as logistics. Our operating subsidiaries include the following:

 

   

YRC National Transportation (“National Transportation”) is the reporting unit for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in regional, national and international services. National Transportation provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through regionalized and centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our less-than-truckload (“LTL”) subsidiary YRC Inc. (“YRC”), and YRC Reimer, a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. Approximately 34% of National Transportation shipments are completed in two days or less. In addition to the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada, National Transportation also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.

 

   

YRC Regional Transportation (“Regional Transportation”) is the reporting unit for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. Regional Transportation is comprised of New Penn Motor Express (“New Penn”), Holland and Reddaway. These companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico. Approximately 94% of Regional Transportation LTL shipments are completed in two days or less.

 

   

YRC Truckload (“Truckload”) reflects the results of Glen Moore, a provider of truckload services throughout the U.S.

 

   

YRC Logistics plans and coordinates the movement of goods worldwide to provide customers a single source for logistics management solutions. In June 2010, we signed an agreement whereby the majority of YRC Logistics will be sold to a third party after the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. In addition, certain other operations ceased during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. As a result, the YRC Logistics segment has been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 15 “Discontinued Operations” for further discussion.

At June 30, 2010, approximately 74% of our labor force of our operating segments is subject to various collective bargaining agreements, which predominantly expire in 2013.

2. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in non-majority owned affiliates or those in which we do not have control where the entity is either not a variable interest entity or YRC Worldwide is not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for on the equity method.

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have prepared the consolidated financial statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these financial statements herein have been made. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Assets Held for Sale

When we plan to dispose of property or equipment by sale, the asset is carried in the financial statements at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value, less cost to sell, and is reclassified to assets held for sale. Additionally, after the

Table of Contents

reclassification, there is no further depreciation taken on the asset. For an asset to be classified as held for sale, management must approve and commit to a formal plan, the sale should be anticipated during the ensuing year and the asset must be actively marketed, be available for immediate sale, and meet certain other specified criteria. In addition to the amounts classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the net book value of properties and equipment held for sale was approximately $106.2 million and $112.8 million, respectively. This amount is included in “Property and Equipment” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recorded charges of $11.7 million and $23.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and $3.7 million and $7.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, to reduce properties and equipment held for sale to estimated fair value, less cost to sell. These charges are included in “(Gains) Losses on Property Disposals, Net” in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of held-and-used identifiable amortizable intangibles and property, plant and equipment may be impaired, we perform an evaluation of recoverability in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (now included in FASB ASC Topic 360). Our evaluation compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or asset group to its carrying amount to determine if a reduction to the carrying amount is required. The carrying amount of an impaired asset would be reduced to fair value if the estimated undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group.

We believe that the accounting estimate related to asset impairment is a critical accounting estimate because: (1) it requires our management to make assumptions about future revenues over the life of the asset, and (2) the impact that recognizing an impairment would have on our financial position, as well as our results of operations, could be material. Management’s assumptions about future revenues require significant judgment because actual revenues have fluctuated in the past and may continue to do so. In estimating future revenues, we use our internal business forecasts. We develop our forecasts based on recent revenue data for existing services and other industry and economic factors. To the extent that YRC is unable to achieve forecasted improvements in shipping volumes and pricing initiatives or realize forecasted cost savings, the Company may incur significant impairment losses on property and equipment or intangible assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and asset-backed securitization borrowings approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Credit Agreement Amendments

On May 3, 2010, we entered into Amendment No. 17 and on July 28, 2010, we entered into Amendment No. 18 to our Credit Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2007 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The amendments are described below.

Amendment No. 17

We have entered into an arrangement to sell up to $103 million shares of common stock (on a gross proceeds basis) in an at-the-market issuance program. See “—At Market Issuance Sales Agreement” below. Amendment No. 17 to the Credit Agreement permits us to retain the net proceeds from any such sales as described below:

Equity Issuances

Amendment No. 17 provides that we may receive up to $100 million of net cash proceeds from the issuance of equity interests during the period commencing on May 3, 2010 and ending on the earlier of December 31, 2010 or the date on which we receive $100 million of net cash proceeds from such equity issuances, without having to use such net cash proceeds to make a mandatory prepayment under the Credit Agreement. The net cash proceeds from such equity issuances are deposited into a new deposit account (the “New Account”). We will be able to use the funds in the New Account for general corporate purposes. While any funds are in the New Account, they will not count toward the calculation of Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the calculation of Unrestricted Cash (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the calculation of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in each case for purposes of the mandatory prepayment requirements. The funds in the New Account will count as Available Cash (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Additionally, we will not be able to request loans under the Credit Agreement until the balance in the New Account is zero. Other than the net cash proceeds from the issuance of such equity interest, no funds may be deposited into the New Account, and once funds have been withdrawn they may not be re-deposited. As of June 30, 2010 the balance in this New Account was $15.4 million which represents our net proceeds from our at the market issuances.

Voluntary Prepayments of Certain Obligations

Amendment No. 17 to the Credit Agreement modifies the restriction on voluntary prepayments of any amounts owing under the Contribution Deferral Agreement or indebtedness, including a prohibition on the Company using the up to $100 million of net cash proceeds from the equity issuance described above to make such voluntary prepayments.

Amendment No. 18

We have entered into an agreement to sell the majority of our logistics business for $37 million (prior to any purchase price adjustments). See “—Sale of YRC Logistics” below. Amendment No. 18 to the Credit Agreement permits us to retain the net proceeds from the sale as described below:

Sale of YRC Logistics

The Credit Agreement requires us to prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement with 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the sale of YRC Logistics. Pursuant to Amendment No. 18, these net cash proceeds will be applied as follows:

-We have entered into a Contribution Deferral Agreement (as amended, the “Contribution Deferral Agreement”) with certain of the multi-employer pension funds to which the Company contributes. If we enter into an amendment (the “CDA Amendment”) to the Contribution Deferral Agreement to approve Amendment No. 18, 100% of the net cash proceeds from the sale of YRC Logistics will be applied to outstanding unblocked revolver loans under the Credit Agreement (without a corresponding commitment reduction to the unblocked revolver) and the new revolver reserve block under the Credit Agreement will be permanently reduced by 50% of that amount. Amendment No. 18 provides that we must enter into the CDA Amendment prior to August 13, 2010 (or August 27, 2010 if we have received approval from the Supermajority Funds (as defined in the Contribution Deferral Agreement)).

—If the closing of the CDA Amendment and the sale of YRC Logistics occur after the dates described above, then the net cash proceeds will be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement that were applicable to the sale of YRC Logistics prior to giving effect to Amendment No. 18.

Table of Contents

Mandatory Prepayments

Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 18, from July 28, 2010 through the date of the CDA Amendment, upon a Prepayment Event (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or an Excess Cash Flow Sweep (as defined in the Credit Agreement), a mandatory prepayment will be made in an amount, and in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, prior to giving effect to Amendment No. 18. Upon effectiveness of the CDA Amendment, the new revolver reserve block will automatically and permanently decrease by the amount by which the new revolver reserve block increased by virtue of any mandatory prepayments during the period above.

On and after the date of the CDA Amendment, upon a Prepayment Event (except for certain sale and leaseback transactions described below) or an Excess Cash Flow Sweep (as defined in the Credit Agreement), a mandatory prepayment will be made in an amount, and in accordance with the provisions of, the Credit Agreement prior to giving effect to Amendment No. 18, except that:

 

  (i) outstanding permitted interim loans will be repaid after (rather than before) new revolver reserve block loans, existing revolver reserve block (performance) loans and unblocked revolver loans (in each case (other than permitted interim loans) with a corresponding permanent commitment reduction), and

 

  (ii) outstanding term loans are paid ratably with the unblocked revolver.

The first $20 million of net cash proceeds received from sale and leaseback transactions received on and after the date of the CDA Amendment will be treated as follows:

—If certain cost reduction criteria established by our lenders under Amendment No. 18 are satisfied:

 

  (i) 25% of the net cash proceeds will be applied in accordance with the provisions applicable after effectiveness of the CDA Amendment described in the paragraph above,

 

  (ii) 75% of the net cash proceeds will be applied to outstanding unblocked revolver loans (without a corresponding commitment reduction to the unblocked revolver), and

 

  (iii) the new revolver reserve block will be permanently reduced by 50% of the net cash proceeds.

—If we do not satisfy the criteria, then 75% of the net cash proceeds will be treated in accordance with (i) above and 25% of the net cash proceeds will be treated in accordance with (ii) above.

Conversion of Revolving Loans and LC Limits

On the date of the CDA Amendment, Amendment No. 18 converts $150 million of outstanding revolving loans to term loans. In addition, Amendment No. 18 reduces the letter of credit sublimit to $550 million and limits foreign currency letters of credit to $25 million. As a result, on the date of the CDA Amendment, the Credit Agreement will provide the Company with an $800 million senior revolving credit facility, which is subject to further reductions, and a senior term loan in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of approximately $261.5 million.

Consolidated EBITDA

The definition of Consolidated EBITDA was amended to include a new add back for charges, expenses and losses incurred with any Permitted Disposition (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or discontinued operations.

Financial Covenants

Our minimum Available Cash covenant requires that we maintain at least $25 million of Available Cash through December 31, 2010 and at least $50 million of Available Cash from and after January 1, 2011.

Our minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) covenant in respect of the periods ending June 30, 2010, September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010 is as follows:

 

Period

   Minimum Consolidated EBITDA

For the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2010

   $ 5 million

For the two consecutive fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2010

   $ 50 million

For the three consecutive fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2010

   $ 100 million

Asset-Backed Securitization Amendments

On May 3, 2010, we, as Performance Guarantor, and the parties to the Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2008 (as amended, the “ABS Facility”), entered into Amendment No. 17 to the ABS Facility, which implemented minimum consolidated EBITDA and minimum available cash requirements that are consistent with Amendment No. 17 to the Credit Agreement described above.

On June 11, 2010, we entered into Amendment No. 18 to the ABS Facility. The amended facility (i) reduced the aggregate commitments under the ABS Facility from $400 million to $350 million; and (ii) modified certain calculations under the ABS Facility to reduce the impact of negative effects that the integration of Yellow Transportation and Roadway has had on the ability of the Seller to borrow under the ABS Facility. As a result, solely for the period beginning on June 11, 2010 and ending on July 2, 2010, we were able to borrow additional amounts of approximately $22 million under the ABS Facility.

In connection with Amendment No. 18 to the ABS Facility, we paid fees to the Co-Agents (the “Closing Fees”). The Closing Fees were paid by the Company by the issuance to the Co-Agents (or their designees) of an aggregate of 25.4 million shares of unregistered restricted common stock of the Company of which 20.7 million were issued as of June 30, 2010 and the remaining 4.7 million were issued on July 22, 2010. To value these shares issued in lieu of cash fees, we completed a fair value analysis and concluded that the value of these shares as of June 30, 2010 was $3.0 million.

Interest and Fee Deferrals

In 2009, the Credit Agreement lenders agreed to defer the payment of revolver and term loan interest, letter of credit fees and commitment fees, subject to the deferral exceptions and termination events, for the period:

 

   

beginning December 31, 2009, and

 

   

ending on December 31, 2010, subject to an extension until December 31, 2011 if agreed to by 66 2/3 % of the lenders.

As of June 30, 2010 the amounts deferred under the above provision were $59.0 million.

Additionally, we deferred amendment fees of $31.8 million in October 2009, which are fully earned but not due and payable until the earlier of December 31, 2011 or the occurrence of a termination event.

Additionally, some of the fees and interest due during the term of the ABS Facility have also been deferred. The $10.0 million fee that was due on October 30, 2009 has been deferred until the earliest to occur of the following dates or events (the “Deferred Fee Payment Date”):

 

   

October 26, 2010,

 

   

the Amortization Date (as defined in the ABS Facility), and

 

   

the occurrence of a deferral termination event.

The portion of current letter of credit fees, program fees and administration fees under the ABS Facility in excess of the fees in place prior to February 12, 2009 were deferred also until the Deferred Fee Payment Date. As of June 30, 2010, the amount deferred under this provision was $8.8 million.

Contribution Deferral Agreement Amendments

On May 3, 2010, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Contribution Deferral Agreement. Pursuant to the Contribution Deferral Agreement, we have deferred the payment of contributions to these funds. Under Amendment No. 4 the calculation of Liquidity (as defined in the Contribution Deferral Agreement) for the Liquidity Cash Sweep (as defined in the Credit Agreement) thereunder was amended to conform it to the test in the Credit Agreement (after giving effect to Amendment No. 17 to the Credit Agreement), except that the Liquidity test under the Contribution Deferral Agreement subtracts any commitment reduction or prepayment under the Credit Agreement.

We are actively seeking the additional amendments to the Contribution Deferral Agreement described in “—Credit Agreement Amendment – Sale of YRC Logistics” above.

At Market Issuance Sales Agreement

On May 3, 2010, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Wm Smith & Co and McNicoll, Lewis & Vlak LLC (the “Sales Agents”), under which we may sell up to the amount available for offer and sale under the currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-159355) (the “Registration Statement”) of our common stock from time to time through the Sales Agents. The Registration Statement permits the issuance, from time to time, by us of shares of the Company’s common stock, preferred stock and warrants up to an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $200 million. The Sales Agents may sell the common stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an ‘at the market’ offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including without limitation sales made directly on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, on any other existing trading market for the common stock or to or through a market maker. The Sales Agents may also sell the common stock in privately negotiated transactions, subject to our approval. The compensation to the Sales Agents for sales of common stock sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be an aggregate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the sales price of common stock sold with respect to the first $25.0 million of gross proceeds and an aggregate of 2.0% of the gross proceeds with respect to gross proceeds in excess of that amount.

The Sales Agreement will terminate on the earliest of (1) the sale of all of the common stock subject to the Sales Agreement, or (2) termination of the Sales Agreement by the Company or the Sales Agents. Either Sales Agent may terminate the Sales Agreement as to itself at any time in certain circumstances, including the occurrence of a material adverse change that, in such Sales Agent’s judgment, may impair its ability to sell the common stock, or a suspension or limitation of trading of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ. We may terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon five days prior notice while either Sales Agent may terminate the Sales Agreement as to itself at any time upon five days prior notice. The Sales Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants.

On May 4, 2010, we filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement that contemplates the sale of up to $103 million in gross proceeds of shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time in at-the-market offerings pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Sales pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made only upon instructions by the Company to the Sales Agents, and we cannot provide any assurances that we will issue any additional shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we completed the sale of 44.9 million shares for net proceeds of $15.4 million as part of our at the market offerings.

Sale of YRC Logistics

In June 2010, we entered into an Equity Interest Purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with CEG Holdings, Inc. (“CEG”), a subsidiary of Austin Ventures to sell YRC Logistics for an aggregate of approximately $37.0 million in cash. Approximately $2.8 million of the purchase price will be deposited into an escrow account at closing to be held for 12 and 18 months to satisfy certain indemnification claims by CEG that may arise. The Agreement is subject to various closing conditions and contains certain termination rights for both the Company and CEG, and further provides that, upon termination of the Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay CEG a termination fee of $1.25 million plus any costs of collection incurred by CEG.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash used in operating activities for YRC Worldwide was $14.5 million of which YRC Logistics portion was approximately $4.5 million.

Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity

In light of our recent operating results, we have satisfied our short term liquidity needs through a combination of borrowings under our credit facilities, retained proceeds from asset sales, sale/leaseback financing transactions, issuances of our common stock, and 6% Notes and an income tax refund from the IRS. In an effort to further manage liquidity, we have also instituted the deferral of pension plan payments and certain interest and fees. As our operating results improve, we expect that cash generated from operations will reduce our need to continue to rely upon these sources of liquidity to meet our short term funding requirements. In August 2009, the employees in most of our bargaining units who are represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (the “Teamsters”) ratified a modification to our collective bargaining agreement to (among other things) implement a 15% wage reduction (which includes the 10% wage reduction previously implemented in January 2009) and a temporary cessation of the requirement for the Company’s subsidiaries to make contributions to union multi-employer pension funds. The wage reduction and the temporary pension contribution cessation have also improved our liquidity position; however, the temporary pension contribution cessation ends at the end of 2010. Based on expected levels of employment in 2011, we estimate that we will contribute approximately $25-30 million per month to multi-employer pension funds in 2011. To continue to have sufficient liquidity to meet our cash flow requirements during 2010:

 

13


Table of Contents
   

our operating results must continue to stabilize or recover quarter-over-quarter and shipping volumes must continue to stabilize or recover quarter-over-quarter;

 

   

we must continue to have access to our credit facilities;

 

   

we must renew our ABS Facility in October 2010;

 

   

we must continue to defer at least through 2010 payment of:

 

   

interest and fees to our lenders under the Credit Agreement

 

   

interest and facility fees to purchasers of our accounts receivable pursuant to the ABS Facility

 

   

interest and principal to our pension funds pursuant to the Contribution Deferral Agreement;

 

   

our wage reductions and temporary cessation of pension contributions must continue;

 

   

we must complete the sale/leaseback and real estate sale transactions currently under contract as anticipated; and

 

   

we must continue to implement and realize substantial cost savings measures to match our costs with business levels and to continue to become more efficient.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows and liquidity to fund operations raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future). These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to fund our operations through operating cash flows, existing credit facilities, sales of non-strategic assets and business lines and other capital market transactions, we would consider in court and out of court restructuring alternatives.

We expect to continue to monitor our liquidity carefully, work to reduce this uncertainty and address our cash needs through a combination of one or more of the following actions:

 

   

we continue to, and expect to implement further cost actions and efficiency improvements;

 

   

we will continue to aggressively seek additional and return business from customers;

 

   

if appropriate, we may sell additional equity or pursue other capital market transactions, including pursuant to the Sales Agreement described above;

 

   

we may consider selling non-strategic assets or business lines, such as the sale of YRC Logistics; and

 

   

we expect to carefully manage receipts and disbursements, including amounts and timing, focusing on reducing days sales outstanding and managing days payables outstanding.

At the end of 2010, the temporary cessation of our requirement to make contributions to the multi-employer pension funds in which we participate will end absent a new agreement with the Teamsters to address this requirement. Based upon expected levels of employment in 2011, we estimate that we will be required to contribute approximately $25-30 million per month to multi-employer pension funds in 2011. Absent the consent of two-thirds in interest of the lenders under the Credit Agreement to continue the deferral of interest and fees under the Credit Agreement during 2011, the deferral will terminate at the end of 2010. In addition, for us to continue our deferral of the payment of future interest and the amortized principal to the pension funds during 2011 under the Contribution Deferral Agreement, 90% in interest of the pension funds that are a party to the Contribution Deferral Agreement must vote to continue the deferral.

Previously deferred interest and fees under the Credit Agreement of $90.8 million are not due until the end of 2011, unless a majority in interest of the lenders accelerate the payment because of a termination of the deferral under the Contribution Deferral Agreement or to the extent our cash and unblocked availability under the Credit Agreement and the ABS Facility in 2011 exceeds certain levels set forth in the Credit Agreement. Likewise, under the Contribution Deferral Agreement, previously deferred interest and amortized principal payments of $150.4 million are not due until the end of 2011, unless a majority in interest of the funds elect to accelerate the payments after termination of the deferral. The Company must also renew its ABS Facility in October 2010 and expects to address the continuation of the deferral of ABS Facility fees of $18.8 million in this renewal. In addition, if the fee and interest deferrals under the Credit Agreement do not continue in 2011, the Teamsters have the right to terminate the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding on the Job Security Plan dated July 9, 2009, which, among other things, would eliminate the 15% wage reduction in place since August 2009 through March 2013 for employees of bargaining units that have ratified that plan.

We do not expect that we will have sufficient liquidity to make these payments in 2011. As a result, we are in discussions with all of our stakeholders and we are exploring the restructuring and possible recapitalization of these obligations, which may include the issuance of a significant amount of additional equity. Among other discussions with all of our stakeholders, the Company and the Teamsters are engaged in discussions regarding this requirement and the competitiveness of the Company through two joint labor/management committees that have been formed. A failure to address these obligations prior to 2011 would materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to continue to operate our business in the ordinary course.

Asset-Backed Securitization Facility

At June 30, 2010, our underlying accounts receivable supported total capacity under our ABS Facility of $220.5 million. In addition to the $147.4 million outstanding, the ABS Facility capacity was also reduced by outstanding letters of credit of $72.2 million resulting in unused capacity of $0.9 million at June 30, 2010.

6% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2014

In February 2010, we entered into a note purchase agreement with certain investors pursuant to which the investors agreed to purchase up to $70 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6% convertible senior notes due 2014 (the “6% Notes”). The 6% Notes bear interest at 6%, payable in February and August of each year. The sale of the 6% Notes was structured to occur in two closings. Pursuant to the note purchase agreement, we sold $49.8 million of the 6% Notes to the investors at the first closing in February 2010 and were obligated to sell an additional $20.2 million of 6% Notes to the investors in the second closing, assuming the closing conditions in the note purchase agreement were met. At the first closing, the investors also funded the remaining $20.2 million into an escrow account to be released at the second closing, subject to the escrow agent receiving a certificate from the investors that the closing conditions had been satisfied.

The 6% Notes are convertible, at the note holder’s option, prior to the maturity date into shares of our common stock. The 6% Notes were initially convertible at a conversion price of $0.43 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of approximately 2,326 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 6% Notes, subject to certain adjustments. The 6% Notes provide for caps within the second anniversary of the first closing such that a holder and its affiliates is not entitled to convert its 6% Notes to the extent that the holder and its affiliates would hold greater than 4.9% of the then outstanding common stock after such conversion, unless timely waived by the holder. The 6% Notes also provide a cap through stated maturity such that any holder and its affiliates is not entitled to convert its notes to the extent that the holder and its affiliates would own greater than 9.9% of the voting power of our stock. Beginning on February 23, 2012, we may convert the 6% Notes pursuant to a mandatory conversion into shares of its common stock if the market price of our common stock meets certain thresholds.

Noteholders who convert their 6% Notes at their option or whose 6% Notes are converted in a mandatory conversion at our option will also receive a make whole premium paid in shares of our common stock. The make whole premium will be payable in additional shares of common stock and will be calculated based on the remaining interest payments on the 6% Notes that would have been received through the original scheduled maturity date of the 6% Notes.

The 6% Notes indenture provides that the maximum number of shares of our common stock that can be issued in respect of the 6% Notes upon conversion or with respect to the payment of interest or in connection with the make whole premium or otherwise

Table of Contents

shall be limited to 201,880,000 shares of common stock for $70 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6% Notes as of February 23, 2010, subject to certain adjustments. If the limit is reached, no holder is entitled to any other consideration on account of shares not issued. This limitation terminates if the holders of our common stock approve the termination of this limitation.

As part of the Company’s exchange offer in late 2009, the holders of our 5.0% Net Share Settled Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “5% CoCos”) voted to amend the indenture for the 5% Notes to eliminate the right of the holders of the 5% CoCos to put their 5% CoCos to us for repayment in August 2010. The trustee of the Indenture refused to give effect to this amendment claiming that a majority of the holders was insufficient to effect the amendment. We sued to seek a court order to direct the trustee to effect the amendment. We lost our claim.

The purchase agreement for the 6% Notes provided, in effect, that if we were to win this claim with respect to the 5% CoCos, we could retain the $20.2 million in proceeds for general corporate purposes; however, if we lost this claim, we would use the proceeds to satisfy its requirements to repurchase any of the 5% CoCos that were put in August 2010. As we lost this claim, the proceeds will be used to retire any of the 5% CoCos that are put for repurchase.

On August 2, 2010, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with the investors to facilitate the issuance of the remaining $20.2 million of 6% Notes, and on August 3, 2010, the issuance and sale of those remaining 6% Notes to the investors was completed. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the investors accepted our required certifications that were conditions to closing under the note purchase agreement and, in turn, provided a certificate to the escrow agent to release the $20.2 million in escrowed purchase price. Also pursuant to the Letter Agreement, we temporarily increased the conversion rate under the 6% Note indenture on the date of the second closing for a period of 20 days to 100,000 shares of our Common Stock per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes (the “Adjusted Conversion Rate”). This has the effect of reducing the conversion price to $0.01 per share. Using this Adjusted Conversion Rate, the investors converted $590,000 of principal amount of their 6% into an aggregate of 59 million shares of our common stock. The 59 million shares of common stock did not include any common stock to be issued to holders of 6% Notes in respect of interest on the 6% Notes that we are required to pay on August 16, 2010 (in respect of the August 15th interest payment date set forth in the Notes). Immediately following the 20-day period, the Conversion Rate will revert back to the initial conversion rate of approximately 2,326 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of the 6% Notes (thereby reverting back to the initial conversion price of $0.43 per share). Following the end of the 20-day period, any future conversions will continue to be subject to the 6% Note indenture limitation that provides that no more than 201,880,000 shares of common stock may be issued in respect of the 6% Notes.

The net proceeds from the second closing were deposited with the 5% CoCos trustee and will be used by the Company to fund the repurchase of up to $20.1 million of the Company’s outstanding 5.0% Net Share Settled Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 pursuant to put options exercisable as of August 9, 2010.

Assuming that the entire outstanding aggregate principal amount of $49.8 million and $69.4 million of 6% Notes had been converted at the note holders’ option as of June 30, 2010 and August 4, 2010, respectively, an aggregate of 147,091,848 and 142,880,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock would have been issued as a result of such conversion, including the make whole premium described above. As of the date of this report, 59 million shares of common stock have been issued on account of the 6% Notes and a maximum of 142,880,000 additional shares of our common stock may be issued in respect of the 6% Notes.

We have evaluated the terms of the conversion feature included in the 6% Notes under applicable accounting literature, and determined that a portion of the proceeds should be allocated to the beneficial conversion feature as it was in-the-money at the commitment date. Accordingly, we allocated $3.3 million of the proceeds from the first closing to the conversion feature and account for this as a component of equity to be amortized over the term of the 6% Notes. The resulting yield on the 6% Notes as a result of this allocation is 6.4%. We have not yet finalized the accounting as it relates to the various components of the second closing of the indenture.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we determined indicators of impairment were present, primarily reduced actual and forecasted revenue, as it relates to our tradenames. Accordingly we performed an impairment test that consisted of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. We recognized an impairment loss in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeded the fair value of the asset. In making this assessment, we utilized the relief from royalty method, an income approach (level three measurement as defined in SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” now included in FASB ASC Topic 820) that includes assumptions as to future revenue, applicable market-based royalty rate and cost of capital, among others.

The impairment charges net of tax were $3.2 million and $2.0 million for National Transportation (the YRC Reimer tradename) and Regional Transportation (the New Penn tradename), respectively.

Estimated amortization expense related to intangible assets for all of 2010 and each of the next five years is as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we received dividends in the amount of $1.9 million from our China joint venture, JHJ International Transportation Co., Ltd.

Through March 31, 2010, we have accounted for our 65% ownership in Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Jiayu”) as an equity method investment as the rights of the minority shareholder were considered extensive and allowed for their ability to veto many business decisions. These rights were primarily provided as a part of the General Manager role held by the minority shareholder. Effective April 1, 2010, the minority shareholder no longer has a role in the management of the operations of the business which changes the conclusions from an accounting perspective regarding the relationship of this joint venture and accordingly, requires that we consolidate Jiayu in our financial statements effective April 1, 2010. In accordance with SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations”, (now included in FASB ASC Topic 805), we completed a fair value analysis of Jiayu as of April 1, 2010, the date of consolidation, and determined the fair value to be less than the carrying value of the equity method investment and as a result, we recorded a $12.3 million impairment charge during the three months ended June 30, 2010. The fair value analysis utilized a discounted cash flow model, an income approach (level three measurement as defined in SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” now included in FASB ASC Topic 820) that includes assumptions as to future revenue, operating income, and cost of capital, among others. Additionally as part of the fair value analysis we recorded a tradename and customer list intangible asset and attributed $1.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, to these intangibles as of April 1, 2010 and attributed lives of 5.3 years and 8.3 years, respectively. The results of Jiayu are included in the ‘Corporate and other’ segment.

7. Restructuring and Reorganization

During the first half of 2010, we incurred additional severance costs of $6.1 million, including $1.9 million in the National Transportation segment, $3.5 million at the Corporate and other segment and $0.7 million in the YRC Logistics segment as we reduced headcount in response to lower volumes. We also incurred $6.7 million of contract terminations related to lease cancellations related to certain discontinued operations described in Note 15. This is offset by $3.6 million in our National segment where we were able to use or sublease locations in excess of our previously recorded estimate.

During 2010, we also made payments under previous restructuring programs, primarily those charges incurred as a result of the headcount reductions and lease cancellations.

We assess the accrual requirements under our restructuring efforts at the end of each reporting period. A rollforward of the restructuring accrual is set forth below:

We expect to contribute $14.1 million to our pension plans in 2010 of which $5.4 million has been paid during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

9. Stock-Based Compensation

On March 1, 2010, we formalized the Second Union Employee Option Plan that provides for a grant of up to 263.7 million options to purchase our common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.48 per share, of which substantially all have been granted. These options vest immediately and were exercisable upon shareholder approval, which was received on June 29, 2010, at our annual meeting.

On March 1, 2010, we also formalized the Second Union Employee Stock Appreciation Right Plan that provides for a grant of up to 263.7 million cash settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). These SARs terminated on June 29, 2010, upon approval of the Union Employee Option Plan discussed above.

The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date the grant was approved by shareholders using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. Expected volatilities were estimated using historical volatility of our common stock. We used historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted was derived from the output of the valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

We valued the award granted under the Union Employee Option Plan in 2010 using the above described model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     2010  

Dividend yield

     —  

Expected volatility

     173.2

Risk-free interest rate

     0.61

Expected life of options (years)

     2   

Fair value per option

   $ 0.09   

Based on the fair value calculation above, we recognized compensation expense of $25.0 million related to these outstanding awards for six months ended June 30, 2010, which is included in ‘Equity-based compensation expense’ in our accompanying statement of consolidated operations.

In the first quarter of 2010, we recognized expense of $108.0 million representing our estimate of the fair value of SARs issued to our union employees at the date of issuance on March 1, 2010. Upon approval at the June 29, 2010 shareholder meeting, we issued stock options to our union employees and recorded an expense reduction of $83 million.

10. Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was 17.7% and 2.1%, respectively, compared to 17.8% and 26.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Significant items impacting the 2010 rate include certain permanent items and a valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2010. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we believe that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset.

11. Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit)

On February 17, 2010, the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting approved the following:

 

   

an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the par value of the Company’s common stock from $1.00 to $0.01 per share; and increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s capital stock from 125 million shares to 2.05 billion shares of which five million shares are preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, and two billion shares are common stock, par value $0.01 per share; and

 

   

an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock following the effectiveness of the par value reduction and the authorized share increase described above, at a ratio that will be determined by the Company’s board of directors and that will be within a range of one-to-five to one-to-25; and reduce the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock by the reverse split ratio.

On February 17, 2010, the Company filed the amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized common stock and change the par value of the stock. Effective with that amendment, 4,345,514 shares of the Class A preferred stock converted into 957,229,822 shares of common stock at a ratio of 220.28 shares of common stock for each share of Class A preferred stock.

As discussed in Note 3 “Liquidity”, on May 3, 2010, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we sold 44.9 million shares for net proceeds of $15.4 million.

In connection with Amendment No. 18 to the ABS Facility, we paid fees to the Co-Agents (the “Closing Fees”). The Closing Fees were paid by the Company by the issuance to the Co-Agents (or their designees) of an aggregate of 25.4 million shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, of which 20.7 million were issued as of June 30, 2010 and the remaining 4.7 million were issued on July 22, 2010.

12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Dilutive securities, consisting of options to purchase our common stock or rights to receive common stock in the future, are included in our calculation of diluted weighted average common shares and totaled 1,029,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Given our net loss position for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 there were no dilutive securities for these periods.

Antidilutive options and share units were 270,508,000 and 271,537,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and 17,510,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Antidilutive convertible senior note conversion shares were 177,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 with no corresponding amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Antidilutive 6% convertible senior note conversion shares, including the make whole premium, were convertible into 147,092,000 common shares on June 30, 2010 with no corresponding amount at June 30, 2009.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the dilutive securities included preferred stock.

13. Business Segments

We report financial and descriptive information about our reportable operating segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We evaluate performance primarily on operating income and return on committed capital.

 

20


Table of Contents

We have the following reportable segments, which are strategic business units that offer complementary transportation services to their customers. National Transportation includes carriers that provide comprehensive regional, national and international transportation services. Regional Transportation is comprised of carriers that focus primarily on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. Truckload consists of Glen Moore, a domestic truckload carrier. YRC Logistics was reported as a separate segment and is now classified as a discontinued operation. Effective April 1, 2010, the results of Jiayu are reflected in our consolidated results as part of the Corporate segment.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Accounting Policies note in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. We charge management fees and other corporate services to our segments based on the direct benefits received or as a percentage of revenue. In addition to Jiayu, corporate and other operating losses represent residual operating expenses of the holding company, including compensation and benefits and professional services for all periods presented. Corporate identifiable assets primarily refer to cash, cash equivalents, investments in equity method affiliates and deferred debt issuance costs. Intersegment revenue primarily relates to transportation services between our segments.

15. Discontinued Operations

In November 2009, we sold our dedicated contract carriage or “fleet” business to Greatwide Dedicated Transport, LLC for $34 million including certain holdback amounts of $1.8 million for indemnification and working capital adjustments to be settled by the second quarter of 2011. Fleet was a part of our YRC Logistics segment and had revenue of $73.8 million and operating income of $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The disposition of this business line did not have a material impact on our financial statements and thus was not originally classified separately as discontinued operations. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a net loss on sale of approximately $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

In June 2010, we entered into an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with CEG Holdings, Inc. (“CEG”), a subsidiary of Austin Ventures, to sell the majority of YRC Logistics for an aggregate of approximately $37.0 million in cash. Approximately $2.8 million of the purchase price will be deposited into an escrow account at closing to be held for 12 and 18 months to satisfy certain indemnification claims by CEG that may arise. The Agreement is subject to various closing conditions and contains certain termination rights for both the Company and CEG, and further provides that, upon termination of the Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay CEG a termination fee of $1.25 million plus any costs of collection incurred by CEG. We expect to record an immaterial gain on disposition upon closing this transaction.

CEG is not acquiring the YRC Logistics pooled distribution business line and instead this activity was shut down during the second quarter of 2010. Pooled distribution had revenue of $10.8 million and incurred an operating loss of $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 including shut down costs, primarily lease cancellations and severance of $7.4 million. Revenue activity for pooled distribution ceased in June 2010 and the results are included in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Historically, YRC Logistics was reported as a separate segment in our consolidated operations and was comprised of the YRC Logistics business, the Flow Through business and the Fleet business. As of June 30, 2010, as a result of the proposed sale to CEG and the closure of the pooled distribution business line, we have met the criteria requiring us to present the related financial results of YRC Logistics as discontinued operations and the related assets and liabilities as held-for-sale in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Accordingly, the results of operations of our YRC Logistics segment are separately presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Similarly, the assets and liabilities of this segment have been reclassified for all periods presented.

Shared services and corporate overhead costs previously allocated to this segment, totaled $2.5 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $6.6 million and $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are included in continuing operations in our ‘Corporate and other’ segment.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

401(k) Class Action Suit

Four class action complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas against the Company and certain of its officers and directors, alleging violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), based on similar allegations and causes of action. On November 17, 2009, Eva L. Hanna and Shelley F. Whitson, former participants in the Yellow Roadway Corporation Retirement Plan, filed a class action complaint on behalf of certain persons participating in the plan (or plans that merged with the plan) from April 6, 2009 to the present; on December 7, 2009, Daniel J. Cambra, a participant in the Yellow Roadway Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, filed a class action complaint on behalf of certain persons participating in the plan (or plans that merged with the plan) from October 25, 2007 to the present; on January 15, 2010, Patrick M. Couch, a participant in one of the merged 401(k) plans, filed a class action complaint on behalf of certain persons participating in the plan (or plans that merged with the plan) from March 23, 2006 to the present; and on April 21, 2010, Tawana Franklin, a participant in the YRC Worldwide 401(k) Plan, filed a class action complaint on behalf of certain persons participating in the plan (or plans that merged with the plan) from October 25, 2007 to the present.

In general, the complaints allege that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under ERISA by providing participants Company common stock as part of their matching contributions and by not removing the stock fund as an investment option in the plans in light of the Company’s financial condition. Although some Company matching contributions were made in Company common stock, participants were not permitted to invest their own contributions in the Company stock fund. The complaints allege that the defendants failed to prudently and loyally manage the plans and assets of the plans; imprudently invested in

Company common stock; failed to monitor fiduciaries and provide them with accurate information; breached the duty to properly appoint, monitor, and inform the Benefits Administrative Committee; misrepresented and failed to disclose adverse financial information; breached the duty to avoid conflict of interest; and are subject to co-fiduciary liability. Each of the complaints seeks, among other things, an order compelling defendants to make good to the plan all losses resulting from the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, attorneys’ fees, and other injunctive and equitable relief. Based on the four separate complaints previously filed, the Company believes the allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously contest the claims.

On March 3, 2010, the Court entered an order consolidating three of the four cases and, on April 1, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint. The consolidated complaint asserts the same claims as the previously-filed complaints but names as defendants certain former officers of the Company in addition to those current officers and directors that have already been named. The fourth case (Franklin) was consolidated with the first three cases on May 12, 2010. The defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint on June 1, 2010 and the plaintiffs’ filed their memorandum in opposition on August 6, 2010. Defendants intend to submit a reply brief on or before September 15, 2010.

Put Litigation

On January 28, 2010, the Company filed a petition for declaratory judgment in the district court of Johnson County, Kansas against Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), under the indenture, dated as of December 31, 2004, relating to the Company’s 5% Net Share Settled Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “5% Notes”) and the indenture, dated as of December 31, 2004, relating to the Company’s 3.375% Net Share Settled Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “3.375% Notes”), seeking a declaratory judgment that each of the indentures should be amended to eliminate the option of each holder to have its 5% Notes and 3.375% Notes, as applicable, repurchased by the Company as of the dates set forth in each of the indentures, including August 9, 2010 in respect of the 5% Notes and November 26, 2012 in respect of the 3.375% Notes (the “Put Option”), as a result of the consents the Company received in connection with its debt-for-equity exchange offers that were completed on December 31, 2009. The Trustee subsequently removed the case to the United States District Court for the District of Kansas (the “Court”). Both parties submitted motions for summary judgment. On July 1, 2010, the Court ordered that each motion for summary judgment be granted in part and denied in part. With respect to the Put Option, the Court ruled in favor of the Trustee with respect to its motions for summary judgment and concluded that the Company could not eliminate the Put Option without the consent of each holder of 5% Notes and 3.375% Notes, as applicable, affected.

17. Guarantees of the Contingent Convertible Senior Notes

In August 2003, YRC Worldwide issued 5.0% contingent convertible senior notes due 2023. In November 2003, we issued 3.375% contingent convertible senior notes due 2023. In December 2004, we completed exchange offers pursuant to which holders of the contingent convertible senior notes could exchange their notes for an equal amount of net share settled contingent convertible senior notes. Substantially all notes were exchanged as part of the exchange offers. In connection with the net share settled contingent convertible senior notes, the following 100% owned subsidiaries of YRC Worldwide have issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the net share settled contingent convertible senior notes: YRC Inc., YRC Enterprise Services, Inc., YRC Logistics, Inc., YRC Logistics Global, LLC, Globe.com Lines, Inc., Roadway LLC and Roadway Next Day Corporation. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several. Effective August 4, 2010, Globe.com Lines, Inc. was merged with and into its parent YRC Logistics Global, LLC.

The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because management does not believe that separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of YRC Worldwide or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

The following represents condensed consolidating financial information as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 with respect to the financial position and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 for results of operations and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 for the statements of cash flows of YRC Worldwide and its subsidiaries. The Parent column presents the financial information of YRC Worldwide, the primary obligor of the contingent convertible senior notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the net share settled contingent convertible senior notes. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries, including those subsidiaries that are governed by foreign laws and Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation, the special-purpose entity that is associated with our ABS agreement.

18. Guarantees of the 6% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2014

On February 23, 2010, and August 3, 2010, we issued $70 million in aggregate principal amount of our new 6% convertible senior notes due 2014 (the “6% notes”). In connection with the 6% notes, the following 100% owned subsidiaries of YRC Worldwide have issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the notes: YRC Inc., YRC Enterprise Services, Inc., YRC Logistics, Inc., YRC Logistics Global, LLC, Globe.com Lines, Inc., Roadway LLC, Roadway Next Day Corporation, YRC Regional Transportation, Inc., USF Sales Corporation, USF Holland Inc., USF Reddaway Inc., USF Glen Moore Inc., YRC Logistics Services, Inc. and IMUA Handling Corporation. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several. Effective August 4, 2010, Globe.com Lines, Inc. was merged with and into its parent YRC Logistics Global, LLC.

The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because management does not believe that such separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of YRC Worldwide or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

The following represents condensed consolidating financial information as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, with respect to the financial position and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, for results of operations and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 for the statement of cash flows of YRC Worldwide and its subsidiaries. The Parent column presents the financial information of YRC Worldwide, the primary obligor of the 6% notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the 6% notes. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries, including those subsidiaries that are governed by foreign laws and Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation, the special-purpose entity that is associated with our ABS agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”). MD&A and certain statements in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each a “forward-looking statement”). Forward-looking statements include those preceded by, followed by or include the words “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate” or similar expressions. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements because of a number of factors, including (among others) our ability to generate sufficient cash flows and liquidity to fund operations, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, inflation, inclement weather, price and availability of fuel, sudden changes in the cost of fuel or the index upon which the Company bases its fuel surcharge, competitor pricing activity, expense volatility, including (without limitation) expense volatility due to changes in rail service or pricing for rail service, ability to capture cost reductions, changes in equity and debt markets, a downturn in general or regional economic activity, effects of a terrorist attack, labor relations, including (without limitation) the impact of work rules, work stoppages, strikes or other disruptions, any obligations to multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans, wage requirements and employee satisfaction, and the risk factors that are from time to time included in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Results of Operations

This section focuses on the highlights and significant items that impacted our operating results during the second quarter. We have presented a discussion regarding the operating results of each of our operating segments: National Transportation, Regional Transportation and Truckload. In June 2010, we signed an agreement whereby the majority of YRC Logistics will be sold to a third party after the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. In addition, certain other operations ceased during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. As a result, the YRC Logistics segment has been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 15 “Discontinued Operations” for further discussion.

Consolidated Results

Our consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 include the results of each of the operating segments discussed below and corporate expenses. A more detailed discussion of the operating results of our segments is presented below.

The table below provides summary consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30:

Three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

Our consolidated operating revenue decreased 8.7% during the three months ended June 30, 2010 versus the same period in 2009 due to decreased revenue of 15.1% from our National Transportation segment partially offset by operating revenue increases of 4.0% and 2.4% at the Regional and Truckload segments, respectively. The decline at National Transportation is attributed to a decline in volume versus the same period in 2009 including those related to customer losses. Our volume declines are primarily attributed to the diversion of freight by customers to other carriers and a continued weakened economy. We believe that customers diverted freight beginning in 2009 due to uncertainty around our financial stability and the integration of our former Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks. That deterioration continued throughout the latter part of 2009 as concerns surrounding the bond exchange lingered into December 2009.

Consolidated operating revenue includes fuel surcharge revenue. Fuel surcharges are common throughout our industry and represent an amount that we charge to customers that adjusts with changing fuel prices. We base our fuel surcharges on a published national index and adjust them weekly. Rapid material changes in the index or our cost of fuel can positively or negatively impact our revenue and operating income versus prior periods as there is a lag in the Company’s adjustment of base rates in response to changes in fuel surcharge. Fuel surcharge is an accepted and important component of the overall pricing of our services to our customers. Without an industry accepted fuel surcharge program, our base pricing for our transportation services would require changes. We believe the distinction between base rates and fuel surcharge has blurred over time, and it is impractical to clearly separate all the different factors that influence the price that our customers are willing to pay. In general, under our present fuel surcharge program, we believe rising fuel costs are beneficial to us and falling fuel costs are detrimental to us, in the short term.

Operating expenses for the 2010 quarter decreased $449.7 million or 29.6% as compared to the same period in 2009 and were comprised of a $303.8 million decrease in salaries, wages and benefits, a $39.4 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies, a $3.1 million decrease in purchased transportation, a $9.8 million decrease in depreciation and amortization due to reduced facilities and fleet downsizing and a $17.2 million decrease in other operating expenses. In addition, the second quarter of 2010 showed higher equity based compensation benefit of $75.3 million compared to the same period in 2009.

The non-cash benefit arises from the replacement of stock appreciation rights granted to union employees with stock options as required by a labor agreement modification that we entered into in 2009. The expense reduction reflects the adjusted fair value of the replacement stock option awards which were re-measured as of the June 29, 2010 shareholder meeting at which time they were formally approved.

The decrease in salaries, wages and benefits in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 is largely due to the increased wage reduction, from 10% to 15%, taken by a majority of our union employees in August of 2009 and the suspension of pension contributions and related expense for the majority of our multi-employer union pension funds effective beginning in the second half of 2009. Additionally, the decrease in salaries and benefits is a result of lower headcount in the current year as we reacted to lower volumes. The decrease in operating expenses and supplies is a result of lower vehicle and facility maintenance of $22.6 million or 30.5%, lower bad debt expense of $22.0 million or 77.9% and lower professional services expense of $16.7 million or 37.4% related to a decrease in restructuring professional fees as compared to the same period in 2009. Finally, other operating expenses decreased mostly due to lower operating taxes and licenses of $7.0 million or 16.1% primarily due to lower fuel taxes reflective of lower miles driven and thus fuel consumed, a general liability claims expense decrease of $3.9 million or 26.4% related to lower volume and lower cargo claims expense of $6.3 million or 44.4% due to fewer shipments and improved claim experience.

Our consolidated operating income during the second quarter of 2010 includes a $2.2 million net gain from the sale of property and equipment net of fair value adjustments for property and equipment held for sale compared to a $1.0 million net gain for the same period in 2009.

Nonoperating expenses decreased $23.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The 2010 amount consisted primarily of a $12.3 million impairment of our equity investment in Jiayu in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $30.4 million impairment in the second quarter of 2009. The adjustment was required as the estimated fair value, using a discounted cash flow model, was less than our investment. The impairment charge is reflective of a change in revenue growth assumptions in the fair value model. Offsetting the reduced equity investment impairment was an increase in interest expense of $3.1 million attributable to increased amortization of deferred debt cost of $5.3 million, additional interest expense related to new lease financing obligations of $5.5 million and additional interest expense on our deferred pension obligations of $0.9 million all offset by a $1.7 million decrease in interest expense for the ABS facility and a $7.1 million decrease in interest expense related to the 8.5% USF senior notes and the 5% and 3.375% contingent convertible senior notes for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Finally, the additional decrease in nonoperating expenses is related to a net foreign exchange gain of $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 versus a gain of $0.7 million for the same period in 2009 of which approximately $5.5 million relates to the recognition of the foreign currency translation adjustment from the dissolution of a certain wholly owned subsidiary.

Our effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was 17.7% and 17.8%, respectively. Significant items impacting the 2010 rate include certain permanent items and a valuation allowance based on the deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2010. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we believe that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

Consolidated operating revenue decreased by 19.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009, which is reflective of decreased revenue at all of our segments with the exception of Truckload. The decreased operating revenue is a result of lower volumes primarily attributed to the diversion of freight by customers to other carriers and a continued weakened economy. We believe that customers diverted freight beginning in 2009 due to uncertainty around our financial stability and the integration of our former Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks. That deterioration continued throughout the latter part of 2009 as concerns surrounding the bond exchange lingered into December 2009. Once the debt exchange was finalized, our industry was hampered by severe winter weather in January and February 2010.

Consolidated operating loss improved $488.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the operating loss for the same period in 2009. Revenue decreased $510.7 million in the first half of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 while operating expenses decreased $998.7 million as compared to the same period in 2009. Expense reductions were comprised of a $756.2 million decrease in salaries, wages and benefits, a $139.8 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies, a $38.1 million decrease in purchased transportation, which is attributable to declining volumes, a $22.1 million decrease in depreciation and amortization due to reduced facilities and reduced fleet size, and a $55.4 million decrease in other operating expenses.

The decrease in salaries, wages and benefits in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 is largely due to the increased wage reduction, from 10% to 15%, taken by a majority of our union employees in August of 2009 and the suspension of pension contributions and related expense for the majority of our multi-employer union pension funds beginning in the second half of 2009. Additionally, the decrease in salaries and benefits is a result of lower headcount in the current year due to lower volumes. The decrease in operating expenses and supplies is a result of lower vehicle and facility maintenance of $54.6 million or 34.1%, lower bad debt expense of $27.0 million or 80.3%, and a decrease in travel and employee activities of $18.7 million or 60.6% due to a decrease in discretionary spending. Finally, other operating expenses decreased mostly due to lower operating taxes and licenses of $20.7 million or 22.1% primarily due to lower fuel taxes reflective of lower miles driven and thus fuel consumed, a general liability claims expense decrease of $21.2 million or 46.8% related to lower volume, and lower cargo claims expense of $13.3 million or 40.8% due to fewer shipments and improved claim experience.

Consolidated operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 also includes non-cash impairment charges of $5.3 million representing a reduction in the tradename values attributed to YRC Reimer (a part of the National Transportation segment) and New Penn (a part of the Regional Transportation segment). The impairment charge is reflective of a change in revenue growth assumptions in the fair value model. There were no impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we also recognized net losses on the sale of property and equipment and the fair value adjustments for property held for sale of $6.6 million compared to losses of $0.6 million for the same period in 2009.

Nonoperating expenses decreased $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The 2010 balance consisted primarily of a $12.3 million impairment of our equity investment in Jiayu in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $30.4 million impairment in the second quarter of 2009. The adjustment was required as the estimated current fair value, using a discounted cash flow model, was less than our investment. The impairment charge is reflective of a change in revenue growth assumptions in the fair value model. Offsetting the reduced equity investment impairment was an increase in interest expense attributable to increased net deferred debt cost amortization of $12.2 million, additional interest expense related to our lease financing obligations of $12.5 million and an increase in interest expense on our deferred pension obligations of $2.8 million all offset by a $1.4 million decrease in interest expense related to the ABS facility and a $13.6 million decrease in interest expense for the to the 8.5% USF senior notes and the 5% and 3.375% contingent convertible senior notes for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Finally, the additional decrease in nonoperating expenses is related to a net foreign exchange gain of $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus a gain of $0.2 million for the same period in 2009 of which approximately $5.5 million relates to the recognition of the foreign currency translation adjustment from the dissolution of a certain wholly owned subsidiary.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was 2.1% and 26.6%, respectively. Significant items impacting the 2010 rate include certain permanent items and a valuation allowance based on the deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2010. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we believe that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

National Transportation reported second quarter 2010 operating revenue of $741.6 million, representing a decrease of $132.1 million or 15.1% from the second quarter of 2009. The two primary components of operating revenue are volume, comprised of the number of shipments and the weight per shipment resulting in tonnage, and price, usually evaluated on a per hundred weight basis. The decline in operating revenue was largely driven by an 18.6% decline in picked up tonnage due to a decline in total shipments per day. The decline in tonnage was offset by a 3.9% increase in revenue per hundred weight resulting mostly from higher fuel surcharge revenue. Higher fuel surcharge revenue was driven by higher diesel fuel prices in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.

The decline in shipments and tonnage resulted from the diversion of freight by customers to other carriers and a continued weakened economy. We believe that customers diverted freight beginning in 2009 due to uncertainty around our financial stability and the integration of our former Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks. That deterioration continued throughout the latter part of 2009 as concerns surrounding the bond exchange lingered into December 2009. Our volumes improved sequentially month over month during the second quarter of 2010 as we began to secure additional business from existing and new customers.

Operating income for National Transportation was $33.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to operating loss of $239.5 million in the same period in 2009. Revenue was lower by $132.1 million while total costs decreased by $404.7 million. The cost declines consisted primarily of lower salaries, wages and benefits of $320.1 million, lower operating expenses and supplies of $47.8 million, lower purchased transportation costs of $12.5 million, and lower other operating expenses of $24.2 million.

The decrease in salaries, wages and benefits (excluding workers’ compensation expense) of $299.3 million during the second quarter of 2010 is a result of substantial headcount reductions, an additional 5% wage reduction for most union employees which became effective August 2009. In addition to volume decreases, a further reduction in benefits expense resulted from the ratification by certain labor unions of a temporary cessation of pension contributions to certain of our multi-employer union pension funds beginning in the second half of 2009. Workers’ compensation expense (included in salaries, wages and benefits in the statement of operations) decreased $20.8 million or 40.1% which is reflective of fewer hours worked and improved claim frequency.

The non-cash equity based compensation benefit of $64.3 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $5.8 million benefit in the second quarter of 2009 arises from the replacement of stock appreciation rights granted to union employees with stock options as required by a labor agreement modification that we entered into in 2009. The expense reduction in both periods reflects the adjusted fair value of the replacement stock option awards which were re-measured as of the June 29, 2010 shareholder meeting at which time they were formally approved and replaced previously issued union stock appreciation rights.

Operating expenses and supplies were lower due mostly to decreases in facility and fleet operating and maintenance costs due to reduced facilities, fleet downsizing, and lower volumes. The decline was also impacted by a decrease in bad debt expense of $10.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 and is reflective of lower bankruptcies in our customer base and improvements in our revenue management processes. These decreases were offset by increased fuel costs year over year.

Table of Contents

The decline in purchased transportation during the second quarter of 2010 versus the same period in 2009 resulted primarily from lower volumes yet did not keep pace with the volume decline as the unit costs of the services increased. Rail costs decreased 6.8% due to lower volume compared to the same period in 2009 while other purchased transportation costs decreased 12.8%.

Other operating expenses decreased mostly due to lower operating taxes and licenses of 25.3% primarily due to lower fuel taxes reflective of lower miles driven and thus fuel consumed, a general liability claims expense decrease of 35.9% related to lower volume, lower cargo claims expense of 52.5% due to fewer shipments and improved claim experience, and lower depreciation of 17.2% due to reduced facilities and fleet downsizing. The gain on disposal of property was $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to a gain of $1.7 million during the same period in 2009.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

National Transportation revenue decreased $491.6 million or 25.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus the same period in 2009. The decline in operating revenue was largely driven by a 27.0% decline in total picked up tonnage offset by a 1.9% increase in revenue per hundred weight resulting mostly from higher fuel surcharge revenue. The decline in shipments and tonnage resulted from the diversion of freight by customers to other carriers and a continued weakened economy. We believe that customers diverted freight beginning in 2009 due to uncertainty around our financial stability and the integration of our former Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks. That deterioration continued throughout the latter part of 2009 as concerns surrounding the bond exchange lingered into December 2009. Once the debt exchange was finalized, our industry was hampered by severe winter weather in January and February 2010. Our volumes improved sequentially month over month during the first six months of 2010 as we began to secure additional business from existing and new customers.

Operating loss for National Transportation improved $387.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Revenue decreased $491.6 million in the first half of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 while operating costs decreased $878.8 million. The cost declines consisted primarily of lower salaries, wages and benefits of $634.5 million, lower operating expenses & supplies of $153.5 million, lower purchased transportation costs of $46.7 million, and lower other operating expenses of $44.2 million.

The decrease in salaries, wages and benefits (excluding workers’ compensation expense) of $600.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 is a result of substantial headcount reductions and an additional 5% wage reduction for most union employees which became effective August 2009. In addition to volume decreases, a further reduction in benefits expense resulted from the ratification by certain labor unions of a temporary cessation of pension contributions to certain of our multi-employer union pension funds beginning in the second half of 2009. Workers’ compensation expense (included in salaries, wages and benefits in the statement of operations) decreased $33.7 million or 35.4% which is reflective of fewer hours worked and improved claim frequency.

These reductions were partially offset by an equity based compensation expense of $18.8 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to a $16.1 million expense in the first six months of 2009. The charges relate to equity based consideration associated with union wage and benefit reductions implemented in 2009.

Operating expenses and supplies were lower due mostly to decreases in facility and fleet operating and maintenance costs due to reduced facilities, fleet downsizing, and lower volumes. The decline was also impacted by a decrease in bad debt expense of $24.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 and is reflective of lower bankruptcies in our customer base and improvements in our revenue management processes.

The decline in purchased transportation during the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus the same period in 2009 resulted primarily from lower volumes yet did not keep pace with the volume decline as the unit costs of the services increased. Rail costs decreased 17.8% due to lower volume compared to the same period in 2009 while other purchased transportation costs decreased 19.7%.

Other operating expenses decreased mostly due to lower operating taxes and licenses of $19.5 million primarily due to lower fuel taxes reflective of lower miles driven, a general liability claims expense decrease of $6.4 million related to lower volume, lower cargo claims expense of $12.5 million due to fewer shipments and improved claim experience, lower depreciation of $11.7 million due to reduced facilities and fleet downsizing, offset by an impairment charge of $3.3 million related to a reduction in fair value of the Reimer tradename, primarily due to a decline in future revenue assumptions. The loss on disposal of property was $2.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a gain of $0.4 million during the same period in 2009. Increased costs were the result of writing down certain revenue equipment and facilities held for sale to fair market value.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

Regional Transportation reported operating revenue of $351.5 million for the second quarter 2010, representing an increase of $13.6 million, or 4.0% from the second quarter in 2009. Total weight per day was up 4.6% in the second quarter 2010, representing a 3.1% decline in total shipments per day and an 8.0% improvement in total weight per shipment compared to the same period in 2009. Year-over-year shipment volumes were negatively impacted by a continued weak economy, the diversion of freight due to uncertainty around our financial stability and the closure of service centers during the first half of 2009.

Total revenue per hundred weight decreased 2.8% in the second quarter 2010 as compared to the second quarter 2009, primarily due to continued market pricing pressure impacts on our base rates and a slightly higher mix of corporate business, partially offset by higher fuel surcharge revenue associated with higher diesel fuel prices. A meaningful portion of our regional footprint is concentrated in the Upper Midwest where business levels and pricing negotiations have been especially difficult due to the economic challenges in this geographic area.

Operating income for Regional Transportation was $22.4 million for the second quarter 2010, compared to $48.3 million operating loss for the second quarter 2009, consisting of a $13.6 million improvement in revenue and a $57.1 million decrease in operating expenses. Regional Transportation has reduced most operating expenses in proportion to lower business volumes. Expense decreases in the second quarter 2010 were comprised of salaries, wages and benefits of $62.7 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.1 million and other operating expenses of $0.4 million. Expense increases in the second quarter 2010 included operating expenses and supplies of $6.1 million and purchased transportation of $1.2 million.

Salaries, wages and benefits expense decreased 24.0% as a result of lower employee levels, an additional 5% wage reduction for most union employees which became effective August 2009 and decreased workers’ compensation expense. In addition to volume decreases, a further reduction in benefits expense resulted from the ratification by certain labor unions of a temporary cessation of pension contributions to certain of our multi-employer union pension funds which beginning in the second half of 2009.

The non-cash equity based compensation expense reduction of $18.3 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $1.6 million reduction in the second quarter of 2009 arises from the replacement of stock appreciation rights granted to union employees with stock options as required by a labor agreement modification that we entered into in 2009. The expense reduction in both periods reflects the adjusted fair value of the replacement stock option awards which were re-measured as of the June 29, 2010 shareholder meeting at which time they were formally approved.

Operating expenses and supplies increased 8.3% reflecting a 43.2% increase in fuel costs (primarily due to higher fuel prices) and 12.3% reduction in costs other than fuel. Costs were lower in the areas of facility maintenance, communications, travel, driver expenses, and uncollectible revenue as a result of effective cost management and terminal closures. Purchased transportation was 8.4% higher due to increased volumes relating to certain segments of business which utilize a higher percentage of purchased transportation. Depreciation and amortization was also lower by 6.4% primarily due to impacts from a smaller equipment fleet. Finally, other operating expenses were 2.0% lower, mainly due to lower provision for general liability claims due to favorable claim development factors and actuarial adjustments and lower licensing and use taxes offset by higher cargo claims costs.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

Regional Transportation reported operating revenue of $660.6 million for the first six months of 2010, representing a decrease of $32.4 million, or 4.7% from the first six months of 2009. Total weight per day was down 2.2%, representing a 7.9% decline in total shipments per day offset by a 6.2% higher total weight per shipment compared to 2009. Shipment volumes were negatively impacted by a continued weak economy, unseasonably severe winter weather, the diversion of freight due to uncertainty around our financial stability and the closure of service centers during the first half of 2009.

Total revenue per hundred weight decreased 2.6% in the first six months of 2010 as compared to the first six months of 2009, due to the impact of continued pricing pressure on our base rates, and a slightly higher mix of corporate business, partially offset by higher fuel surcharge revenue associated with higher diesel fuel prices.

Operating loss for Regional Transportation was $17.3 million for the first six months of 2010, an improvement of $105.2 million from the first six months of 2009, consisting of a $32.4 million decline in revenue and a $137.6 million reduction in operating expenses. Regional Transportation has reduced most operating expenses in proportion to lower tonnage and shipment volumes and has benefited from our comprehensive recovery plan, including cost reduction initiatives as described below. Material expense decreases were comprised of salaries, wages and benefits of $123.1 million, purchased transportation of $0.7 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.4 million, and other operating expenses of $19.5 million. Expense increases included operating expenses and supplies of $1.9 million.

Salaries, wages and benefits expense decreased 22.5% as a result of lower employee levels, an additional 5% wage reduction for most union employees which became effective August 2009, and decreased workers’ compensation expense. In addition to volume decreases, a further reduction in benefits expense resulted from the ratification by certain labor unions of a temporary cessation of pension contributions to certain of our multi-employer union pension funds beginning in the second half of 2009.

Operating expenses and supplies increased 1.3% reflecting a 35.4% increase in fuel costs (primarily due to higher fuel prices partially offset by lower volumes) and a 17.7% reduction in costs other than fuel. Costs were lower in the areas of equipment maintenance, facility maintenance, travel, driver expenses, tolls and uncollectible revenue as a result of lower business volumes, effective cost management and terminal closures. Purchased transportation was 2.4% lower due mostly to lower business volumes. Other operating expenses were also lower by 37.1% mainly due to a much lower provision for bodily injury and property damage claims due to favorable claim development factors and actuarial adjustments, as well as reduced volume. Additionally, fuel taxes, licenses and cargo claims costs were lower primarily due to lower business volumes.

Losses on property disposals were $4.1 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to $0.9 million in the first six months of 2009. Increased costs were the result of writing down certain revenue equipment and facilities held for sale to fair market value. The first six months of 2010 operating loss included an impairment charge of $2.0 million related to a reduction in fair value of the New Penn tradename, primarily due to a decline in future revenue assumptions.

YRC Truckload Results

YRC Truckload represented approximately 3% and 2% of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, and approximately 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Truckload reported operating revenue of $28.3 million for the second quarter 2010, representing an increase of $0.8 million or 2.4% from the second quarter 2009. The two primary components of truckload operating revenue are volume, comprised of the miles driven, and price, usually evaluated on a revenue per mile basis. Total miles driven per day were down 4.2% in the second quarter

Table of Contents

2010 as compared to 2009 due primarily to lower business volume related to the soft economy. Revenue per mile was up 6.9%, due primarily to higher fuel surcharge revenue associated with higher diesel fuel prices.

Operating loss for Truckload was $2.0 million for the second quarter 2010, as compared to an operating loss of $2.4 million for the second quarter 2009, consisting of a $0.8 million increase in revenue offset by a $0.4 million increase in operating expenses. Expense increases were primarily due to increases in fuel costs (higher diesel prices), higher driver recruiting costs, and a higher provision for general liability claims due to unfavorable claim development factors and actuarial adjustments. Expense decreases were primarily related to lower salaries, wages and related benefits costs as a result of lower employee levels.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

Truckload reported operating revenue of $55.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, representing an increase of $1.6 million or 3.0% from the six months ended June 30, 2009. Total miles driven per day were down 2.5% in the first six months of 2010 as compared to 2009 due primarily to lower business volume related to the soft economy. However, revenue per mile was up 5.1%, due primarily to higher fuel surcharge revenue associated with higher diesel fuel prices.

Operating loss for Truckload was $5.0 million for the first half of 2010, a decline of $0.4 million from the first half of 2009, consisting of a $1.6 million improvement in revenue offsetting a $2.0 million increase in operating expenses. Expense increases were primarily due to increases in fuel costs (higher diesel prices), vehicle maintenance costs, and driver recruiting costs. Decreased operating expenses were primarily related to lower salaries, wages, and related benefits costs as a result of lower employee levels.

Discontinued Operations - YRC Logistics Results

In June 2010, we signed an agreement whereby the majority of YRC Logistics will be sold to a third party after the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. In addition, certain other operations ceased during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. As a result, the YRC Logistics segment has been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 15 “Discontinued Operations” for further discussion. For the presentation below, shared services and corporate overhead costs are included in the operating loss amounts. These fees will be absorbed by the remaining segments after the sale of YRC Logistics is complete.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

In the second quarter of 2010, YRC Logistics operating revenue was $76.3 million, a decrease of $25.5 million or 25.0% from the second quarter of 2009. The second quarter of 2009 includes $20.2 of revenue million from our Fleet business line with no corresponding amount in 2010, as the business line was sold in November 2009. Additional revenue declines were experienced in the Transportation and Distribution service offerings. Decreases in 2010 revenue for distribution services were a result of significant customer losses throughout 2009 primarily due to concerns about our financial stability and contributed to the decision to exit our pooled distribution offering in June 2010. Revenue declines in transportation services were largely attributed to an amendment to a certain customer contract which resulted in a change to the revenue recognized but no change to the operating income related to this customer. Global services revenue increased, which partially offset the previously mentioned declines as shipment counts continued to rebound internationally.

YRC Logistics second quarter 2010 operating loss was $14.0 million compared to an operating loss of $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2009. Included in the 2009 amount is operating income of $1.5 million related to the now sold Fleet business line. Restructuring charges associated with YRC Logistics decision to exit its pooled distribution business offering totaled $7.4 million. Pooled distribution incurred operating losses of $13.7 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

In the first half of 2010, YRC Logistics revenue decreased by $61.5 million or 28.8% from the first half of 2009. In the first half of 2009, the Fleet business line had $38.6 million of revenue with no corresponding amount in 2010 as the business line was sold in November 2009. Decreases in 2010 revenue for distribution services were a result of significant customer losses throughout 2009 primarily due to concerns about our financial stability and were also a result of the decision to exit our pooled distribution offering in June 2010. Additional revenue declines in transportation services can be for the most part attributed to a revision to a certain customer contract which resulted in a change to the revenue recognized but no change to the operating income related to this customer. In the first half of 2010, Global services revenue increased as shipment volumes improved internationally compared to the same period in 2009.

Operating loss increased from $11.4 million in the first half of 2009 to a loss of $21.4 million in the first half of 2010. Included in the 2009 amount is operating income of $3.2 million related to the now sold Fleet business line. The pooled distribution business offering incurred operating losses of $19.1 million and $5.2 million, including restructuring charges, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Certain Non-GAAP financial measures

Our adjusted EBITDA improved from $2.7 million in April to $22.2 million in June and that National Transportation achieved positive adjusted EBITDA for the quarter and Regional Transportation reported the fourth straight quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA. We have included the reconciliation of consolidated adjusted EBITDA below and provided the adjusted EBITDA amounts by segment.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that reflects the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and further adjusted for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals, and certain other items as defined in the company’s Credit Agreement. “Adjusted EBITDA” is used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects the company’s core operating performance. In addition, management uses adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with financial covenants in the company’s Credit Agreement. However, this financial measure should not be construed as a better measurement than operating income or earnings per share, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles.

Adjusted EBITDA has the following limitations:

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our outstanding debt;

 

   

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

   

Equity based compensation is an element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period; and

 

   

Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA as a secondary measure.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we amended our credit agreements and entered into a new sales agreement for at the market issuances as discussed below.

Credit Agreement Amendments

On May 3, 2010, we entered into Amendment No. 17 and on July 28, 2010, we entered into Amendment No. 18 to our Credit Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2007 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The amendments are described below.

Amendment No. 17

We have entered into an arrangement to sell up to $103 million shares of common stock (on a gross proceeds basis) in an at-the-market issuance program. See “—At Market Issuance Sales Agreement” below. Amendment No. 17 to the Credit Agreement permits us to retain the net proceeds from any such sales as described below:

Equity Issuances

Amendment No. 17 provides that we may receive up to $100 million of net cash proceeds from the issuance of equity interests during the period commencing on May 3, 2010 and ending on the earlier of December 31, 2010 or the date on which we receive $100 million of net cash proceeds from such equity issuances, without having to use such net cash proceeds to make a mandatory prepayment under the Credit Agreement. The net cash proceeds from such equity issuances are deposited into a new deposit account (the “New Account”). We will be able to use the funds in the New Account for general corporate purposes. While any funds are in the New Account, they will not count toward the calculation of Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the calculation of Unrestricted Cash (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the calculation of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in each case for purposes of the mandatory prepayment requirements. The funds in the New Account will count as Available Cash (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Additionally, we will not be able to request loans under the Credit Agreement until the balance in the New Account is zero. Other than the net cash proceeds from the issuance of such equity interest, no funds may be deposited into the New Account, and once funds have been withdrawn they may not be re-deposited. As of June 30, 2010 the balance in this New Account was $15.4 million which represents our net proceeds from our at the market issuances.

Voluntary Prepayments of Certain Obligations

Amendment No. 17 to the Credit Agreement modifies the restriction on voluntary prepayments of any amounts owing under the Contribution Deferral Agreement or indebtedness, including a prohibition on the Company using the up to $100 million of net cash proceeds from the equity issuance described above to make such voluntary prepayments.

Table of Contents

Amendment No. 18

We have entered into an agreement to sell the majority of its logistics business for $37 million (prior to any purchase price adjustments). See “—Sale of YRC Logistics” below. Amendment No. 18 to the Credit Agreement permits us to retain the net proceeds from the sale as described below:

Sale of YRC Logistics

The Credit Agreement requires us to prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement with 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the sale of YRC Logistics. Pursuant to Amendment No. 18, these net cash proceeds will be applied as follows:

—We have entered into a Contribution Deferral Agreement (as amended, the “Contribution Deferral Agreement”) with certain of the multi-employer pension funds to which the Company contributes. If we enter into an amendment (the “CDA Amendment”) to the Contribution Deferral Agreement to approve Amendment No. 18, 100% of the net cash proceeds from the sale of YRC Logistics will be applied to outstanding unblocked revolver loans under the Credit Agreement (without a corresponding commitment reduction to the unblocked revolver) and the new revolver reserve block under the Credit Agreement will be permanently reduced by 50% of that amount. Amendment No. 18 provides that we must enter into the CDA Amendment prior to August 13, 2010 (or August 27, 2010 if we have received approval from the Supermajority Funds (as defined in the Contribution Deferral Agreement)).

—If the closing of the CDA Amendment and the sale of YRC Logistics occur after the dates described above, then the net cash proceeds will be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement that were applicable to the sale of YRC Logistics prior to giving effect to Amendment No. 18.

Mandatory Prepayments

Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 18, from July 28, 2010 through the date of the CDA Amendment, upon a Prepayment Event (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or an Excess Cash Flow Sweep (as defined in the Credit Agreement), a mandatory prepayment will be made in an amount, and in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, prior to giving effect to Amendment No. 18. Upon effectiveness of the CDA Amendment, the new revolver reserve block will automatically and permanently decrease by the amount by which the new revolver reserve block increased by virtue of any mandatory prepayments during the period above.

On and after the date of the CDA Amendment, upon a Prepayment Event (except for certain sale and leaseback transactions described below) or an Excess Cash Flow Sweep (as defined in the Credit Agreement), a mandatory prepayment will be made in an amount, and in accordance with the provisions of, the Credit Agreement prior to giving effect to Amendment No. 18, except that:

 

  (iii) outstanding permitted interim loans will be repaid after (rather than before) new revolver reserve block loans, existing revolver reserve block (performance) loans and unblocked revolver loans (in each case (other than permitted interim loans) with a corresponding permanent commitment reduction), and

 

  (iv) outstanding term loans are paid ratably with the unblocked revolver.

The first $20 million of net cash proceeds received from sale and leaseback transactions received on and after the date of the CDA Amendment will be treated as follows:

—If certain cost reduction criteria established by our lenders under Amendment No. 18 are satisfied:

 

  (iv) 25% of the net cash proceeds will be applied in accordance with the provisions applicable after effectiveness of the CDA Amendment described in the paragraph above,

 

  (v) 75% of the net cash proceeds will be applied to outstanding unblocked revolver loans (without a corresponding commitment reduction to the unblocked revolver), and

 

  (vi) the new revolver reserve block will be permanently reduced by 50% of the net cash proceeds.

—If we do not satisfy the criteria, then 75% of the net cash proceeds will be treated in accordance with (i) above and 25% of the net cash proceeds will be treated in accordance with (ii) above.

Table of Contents

Conversion of Revolving Loans and LC Limits

On the date of the CDA Amendment, Amendment No. 18 converts $150 million of outstanding revolving loans to term loans. In addition, Amendment No. 18 reduces the letter of credit sublimit to $550 million and limits foreign currency letters of credit to $25 million. As a result, on the date of the CDA Amendment, the Credit Agreement will provide the Company with an $800 million senior revolving credit facility, which is subject to further reductions, and a senior term loan in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of approximately $261.5 million.

Consolidated EBITDA

The definition of Consolidated EBITDA was amended to include a new add back for charges, expenses and losses incurred with any Permitted Disposition (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or discontinued operations.

Financial Covenants

Our minimum Available Cash covenant requires that we maintain at least $25 million of Available Cash through December 31, 2010 and at least $50 million of Available Cash from and after January 1, 2011.

Our minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) covenant in respect of the periods ending June 30, 2010, September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010 is as follows:

 

Period

   Minimum Consolidated EBITDA

For the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2010

   $ 5 million

For the two consecutive fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2010

   $ 50 million

For the three consecutive fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2010

   $ 100 million

Asset-Backed Securitization Amendment

On May 3, 2010, we, as Performance Guarantor, and the parties to the Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2008 (as amended, the “ABS Facility”), entered into Amendment No. 17 to the ABS Facility, which implemented minimum consolidated EBITDA and minimum available cash requirements that are consistent with Amendment No. 17 to the Credit Agreement described above.

On June 11, 2010, we entered into Amendment No. 18 to the ABS Facility. The amended facility (i) reduced the aggregate commitments under the ABS Facility from $400 million to $350 million; and (ii) modified certain calculations under the ABS Facility to reduce the impact of negative effects that the integration of Yellow Transportation and Roadway has had on the ability of the Seller to borrow under the ABS Facility. As a result, solely for the period beginning on June 11, 2010 and ending on July 2, 2010, we were able to borrow additional amounts of approximately $22 million under the ABS Facility.

In connection with Amendment No. 18 to the ABS Facility, we paid fees to the Co-Agents (the “Closing Fees”). The Closing Fees were paid by the Company by the issuance to the Co-Agents (or their designees) of an aggregate of 25.4 million shares of unregistered restricted common stock of the Company of which 20.7 million were issued as of June 30, 2010 and the remaining 4.7 million were issued on July 22, 2010. To value these shares issued in lieu of cash fees, we completed a fair value analysis and concluded that the value of these shares as of June 30, 2010 was $3.0 million.

Interest and Fee Deferrals

In 2009, the Credit Agreement lenders agreed to defer the payment of revolver and term loan interest, letter of credit fees and commitment fees, subject to the deferral exceptions and termination events, for the period:

 

   

beginning December 31, 2009, and

 

   

ending on December 31, 2010, subject to an extension until December 31, 2011 if agreed to by 66 2/3 % of the lenders.

As of June 30, 2010 the amounts deferred under the above provision were $59.0 million.

Additionally, we deferred amendment fees of $31.8 million in October 2009, which are fully earned but not due and payable until the earlier of December 31, 2011 or the occurrence of a termination event.

 

47


Table of Contents

Additionally, some of the fees and interest due during the term of the ABS Facility have also been deferred. The $10.0 million fee that was due on October 30, 2009 has been deferred until the earliest to occur of the following dates or events (the “Deferred Fee Payment Date”):

 

   

October 26, 2010,

 

   

the Amortization Date (as defined in the ABS Facility), and

 

   

the occurrence of a Deferral Termination Event.

The portion of current letter of credit fees, program fees and administration fees under the ABS Facility in excess of the fees in place prior to February 12, 2009 were deferred also until the Deferred Fee Payment Date. As of June 30, 2010, amounts deferred under this provision was $8.8 million.

Contribution Deferral Agreement Amendment

On May 3, 2010, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Contribution Deferral Agreement. Pursuant to the Contribution Deferral Agreement, we have deferred the payment of contributions to these funds. Under Amendment No. 4, the calculation of Liquidity (as defined in the Contribution Deferral Agreement) for the Liquidity Cash Sweep (as defined in the Credit Agreement) thereunder was amended to conform it to the test in the Credit Agreement (after giving effect to Amendment No. 17 to the Credit Agreement), except that the Liquidity test under the Contribution Deferral Agreement subtracts any commitment reduction or prepayment under the Credit Agreement.

We are actively seeking the additional amendments to the Contribution Deferral Agreement described in “—Credit Agreement Amendment – Sale of YRC Logistics” above.

At Market Issuance Sales Agreement

On May 3, 2010, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Wm Smith & Co and McNicoll, Lewis & Vlak LLC (the “Sales Agents”), under which we may sell up to the amount available for offer and sale under the currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-159355) (the “Registration Statement”) of our common stock from time to time through the Sales Agents. The Registration Statement permits the issuance, from time to time, by us of shares of the Company’s common stock, preferred stock and warrants up to an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $200 million. The Sales Agents may sell the common stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an ‘at the market’ offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including without limitation sales made directly on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, on any other existing trading market for the common stock or to or through a market maker. The Sales Agents may also sell the common stock in privately negotiated transactions, subject to our approval. The compensation to the Sales Agents for sales of common stock sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be an aggregate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the sales price of common stock sold with respect to the first $25.0 million of gross proceeds and an aggregate of 2.0% of the gross proceeds with respect to gross proceeds in excess of that amount.

The Sales Agreement will terminate on the earliest of (1) the sale of all of the common stock subject to the Sales Agreement, or (2) termination of the Sales Agreement by the Company or the Sales Agents. Either Sales Agent may terminate the Sales Agreement as to itself at any time in certain circumstances, including the occurrence of a material adverse change that, in such Sales Agent’s judgment, may impair its ability to sell the common stock, or a suspension or limitation of trading of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ. We may terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon five days prior notice while either Sales Agent may terminate the Sales Agreement as to itself at any time upon five days prior notice. The Sales Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants.

On May 4, 2010, we filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement that contemplates the sale of up to $103 million in gross proceeds of shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time in at-the-market offerings pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Sales pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be made only upon instructions by the Company to the Sales Agents, and we cannot provide any assurances that we will issue any additional shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we completed the sale of 44.9 million shares for net proceeds of $15.4 million as part of our at the market offerings.

6% Notes

 

48


Table of Contents

In February 2010, we entered into a note purchase agreement with certain investors pursuant to which the investors agreed to purchase up to $70 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6% convertible senior notes due 2014 (the “6% Notes”). The 6% Notes bear interest at 6%, payable in February and August of each year. The sale of the 6% Notes was structured to occur in two closings. Pursuant to the note purchase agreement, we sold $49.8 million of the 6% Notes to the investors at the first closing in February 2010 and were obligated to sell an additional $20.2 million of 6% Notes to the investors in the second closing, assuming the closing conditions in the note purchase agreement were met. At the first closing, the investors also funded the remaining $20.2 million into an escrow account to be released at the second closing, subject to the escrow agent receiving a certificate from the investors that the closing conditions had been satisfied.

The 6% Notes are convertible, at the note holder’s option, prior to the maturity date into shares of our common stock. The 6% Notes were initially convertible at a conversion price of $0.43 per share, which is equal to a conversion rate of approximately 2,326 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 6% Notes, subject to certain adjustments. The 6% Notes provide for caps within the second anniversary of the first closing such that a holder and its affiliates is not entitled to convert its 6% Notes to the extent that the holder and its affiliates would hold greater than 4.9% of the then outstanding common stock after such conversion, unless timely waived by the holder. The 6% Notes also provide a cap through stated maturity such that any holder and its affiliates is not entitled to convert its notes to the extent that the holder and its affiliates would own greater than 9.9% of the voting power of our stock. Beginning on February 23, 2012, we may convert the 6% Notes pursuant to a mandatory conversion into shares of its common stock if the market price of our common stock meets certain thresholds.

Noteholders who convert their 6% Notes at their option or whose 6% Notes are converted in a mandatory conversion at our option will also receive a make whole premium paid in shares of our common stock. The make whole premium will be payable in additional shares of common stock and will be calculated based on the remaining interest payments on the 6% Notes that would have been received through the original scheduled maturity date of the 6% Notes.

The 6% Notes indenture provides that the maximum number of shares of our common stock that can be issued in respect of the 6% Notes upon conversion or with respect to the payment of interest or in connection with the make whole premium or otherwise shall be limited to 201,880,000 shares of common stock for $70 million in aggregate principal amount of the 6% Notes as of February 23, 2010, subject to certain adjustments. If the limit is reached, no holder is entitled to any other consideration on account of shares not issued. This limitation terminates if the holders of our common stock approve the termination of this limitation.

As part of the Company’s exchange offer in late 2009, the holders of our 5.0% Net Share Settled Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “5% CoCos”) voted to amend the indenture for the 5% Notes to eliminate the right of the holders of the 5% CoCos to put their 5% CoCos to us for repayment in August 2010. The trustee of the Indenture refused to give effect to this amendment claiming that a majority of the holders was insufficient to effect the amendment. We sued to seek a court order to direct the trustee to effect the amendment. We lost our claim.

The purchase agreement for the 6% Notes provided, in effect, that if we were to win this claim with respect to the 5% CoCos, we could retain the $20.2 million in proceeds for general corporate purposes; however, if we lost this claim, we would use the proceeds to satisfy its requirements to repurchase any of the 5% CoCos that were put in August 2010. As we lost this claim, the proceeds will be used to retire any of the 5% CoCos that are put for repurchase.

On August 2, 2010, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with the investors to facilitate the issuance of the remaining $20.2 million of 6% Notes, and on August 3, 2010, the issuance and sale of those remaining 6% Notes to the investors was completed. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the investors accepted our required certifications that were conditions to closing under the note purchase agreement and, in turn, provided a certificate to the escrow agent to release the $20.2 million in escrowed purchase price. Also pursuant to the Letter Agreement, we temporarily increased the conversion rate under the 6% Note indenture on the date of the second closing for a period of 20 days to 100,000 shares of our Common Stock per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes (the “Adjusted Conversion Rate”). This has the effect of reducing the conversion price to $0.01 per share. Using this Adjusted Conversion Rate, the investors converted $590,000 of principal amount of their 6% into an aggregate of 59 million shares of our common stock. The 59 million shares of common stock did not include any common stock to be issued to holders of 6% Notes in respect of interest on the 6% Notes that we are required to pay on August 16, 2010 (in respect of the August 15th interest payment date set forth in the Notes). Immediately following the 20-day period, the Conversion Rate will revert back to the initial conversion rate of approximately 2,326 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of the 6% Notes (thereby reverting back to the initial conversion price of $0.43 per share). Following the end of the 20-day period, any future conversions will continue to be subject to the 6% Note indenture limitation that provides that no more than 201,880,000 shares of common stock may be issued in respect of the 6% Notes.

The net proceeds from the second closing were deposited with the 5% CoCos trustee and will be used by the Company to fund the repurchase of up to $20.1 million of the Company’s outstanding 5.0% Net Share Settled Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 pursuant to put options exerciseable as of August 9, 2010.

Sale of YRC Logistics

In June 2010 we entered into an Equity Interest Purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with CEG Holdings, Inc. (“CEG”), a subsidiary of Austin Ventures to sell YRC Logistics for an aggregate of approximately $37.0 million in cash. Approximately $2.8 million of the purchase price will be deposited into an escrow account at closing to be held for 12 and 18 months to satisfy certain indemnification claims by CEG that may arise. The Agreement is subject to various closing conditions and contains certain termination rights for both the Company and CEG, and further provides that, upon termination of the Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay CEG a termination fee of $1.25 million plus any costs of collection incurred by CEG.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash used in operation activities for YRC Worldwide was $14.5 million of which YRC Logistics portion was approximately $4.5 million and as such our future cash flows from operating activities will be positively impacted by the absence of YRC Logistics to some extent.

Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity

In light of our recent operating results, we have satisfied our short term liquidity needs through a combination of borrowings under our credit facilities, retained proceeds from asset sales and sale/leaseback financing transactions issuances of our common stock and 6% Notes and an income tax refund from the IRS. In an effort to further manage liquidity, we have also instituted the deferral of pension plan payments and certain interest and fees. As our operating results improve, we expect that cash generated from operations will reduce our need to continue to rely upon these sources of liquidity to meet our short term funding requirements. In August 2009, the employees in most of our bargaining units who are represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (the “Teamsters”) ratified a modification to our collective bargaining agreement to (among other things) implement a 15% wage reduction (which includes the 10% wage reduction previously implemented in January 2009) and a temporary cessation of the requirement for the Company’s subsidiaries to make contributions to union multi-employer pension funds. The wage reduction and the temporary pension contribution cessation have also improved our liquidity position. To continue to have sufficient liquidity to meet our cash flow requirements during 2010:

 

   

our operating results must continue to stabilize or recover quarter-over-quarter and shipping volumes must continue to stabilize or recover quarter-over-quarter;

 

   

we must continue to have access to our credit facilities;

 

   

we must renew our ABS Facility in October 2010;

 

   

we must continue to defer at least through 2010 payment of:

 

   

interest and fees to our lenders under the Credit Agreement

 

   

interest and facility fees to purchasers of our accounts receivable pursuant to the ABS Facility

 

   

interest and principal to our pension funds pursuant to the Contribution Deferral Agreement;

 

   

our wage reductions and temporary cessation of pension contributions must continue;

 

   

we must complete the sale/leaseback and real estate sale transactions currently under contract as anticipated; and

 

   

we must continue to implement and realize substantial cost savings measures to match our costs with business levels and to continue to become more efficient.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows and liquidity to fund operations raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future). These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to fund our operations through operating cash flows, existing credit facilities, sales of non-strategic assets and business lines and other capital market transactions, we would consider in court and out of court restructuring alternatives.

We expect to continue to monitor our liquidity carefully, work to reduce this uncertainty and address our cash needs through a combination of one or more of the following actions:

 

   

we continue to, and expect to implement further cost actions and efficiency improvements;

 

   

we will continue to aggressively seek additional and return business from customers;

 

   

if appropriate, we may sell additional equity or pursue other capital market transactions, including pursuant to the Sales Agreement described above;

 

   

we may consider selling non-strategic assets or business lines, such as the sale of YRC Logistics; and

we expect to carefully manage receipts and disbursements, including amounts and timing, focusing on reducing days sales outstanding and managing days payables outstanding.

 

At the end of 2010, the temporary cessation of our requirement to make contributions to the multi-employer pension funds in which we participate will end absent a new agreement with the Teamsters to address this requirement. Based upon expected levels of employment in 2011, we estimate that we will be required to contribute approximately $25-30 million per month to multi-employer pension funds in 2011. Absent the consent of two-thirds in interest of the lenders under the Credit Agreement to continue the deferral of interest and fees under the Credit Agreement during 2011, the deferral will terminate at the end of 2010. In addition, for us to continue our deferral of the payment of future interest and the amortized principal to the pension funds during 2011 under the Contribution Deferral Agreement, 90% in interest of the pension funds that are a party to the Contribution Deferral Agreement must vote to continue the deferral.

Previously deferred interest and fees under the Credit Agreement of $90.8 million are not due until the end of 2011, unless a majority in interest of the lenders accelerate the payment because of a termination of the deferral under the Contribution Deferral Agreement or to the extent our cash and unblocked availability under the Credit Agreement and the ABS Facility in 2011 exceeds certain levels set forth in the Credit Agreement. Likewise, under the Contribution Deferral Agreement, previously deferred interest and amortized principal payments of $150.4 million are not due until the end of 2011, unless a majority in interest of the funds elect to accelerate the payments after termination of the deferral. The Company must also renew its ABS Facility in October 2010 and expects to address the continuation of the deferral of ABS Facility fees of $18.8 million in this renewal. In addition, if the fee and interest deferrals under the Credit Agreement do not continue in 2011, the Teamsters have the right to terminate the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding on the Job Security Plan dated July 9, 2009, which, among other things, would eliminate the 15% wage reduction in place since August 2009 through March 2013 for employees of bargaining units that have ratified that plan.

We do not expect that we will have sufficient liquidity to make these payments in 2011. As a result, we are in discussions with all of our stakeholders and we are exploring the restructuring and possible recapitalization of these obligations, which may include the issuance of a significant amount of additional equity. Among other discussions with all of our stakeholders, the Company and the Teamsters are engaged in discussions regarding this requirement and the competitiveness of the Company through two joint labor/management committees that have been formed. A failure to address these obligations prior to 2011 would materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to continue to operate our business in the ordinary course.

Our board of directors continues to evaluate the timing of a reverse stock split, and at this time, has not finalized a date. Assuming the closing price of our common stock price is not above $1.00 for ten consecutive business days by August 30, 2010, we expect to receive a delisting notice from NASDAQ. If we receive a delisting notice from NASDAQ, we would intend to request a hearing with NASDAQ to present a plan of compliance. The request for a hearing will stay the delisting of our common stock. We expect that a hearing would be scheduled 30 to 45 days after NASDAQ receives our request for a hearing. Although there is no assurance the exception would be granted which would extend the period to regain compliance with the NASDAQ marketplace rules, we believe its continued progress with all of its stakeholders would provide a solid basis for the exception.

Additional risks regarding our liquidity in 2011 if our current deferral arrangements are not extended beyond their current expected expiration dates are described in Item 1A – Risk Factors in the quarterly report.

Forward-Looking Statements in “Liquidity”

Our beliefs regarding liquidity sufficiency are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are indicated by words such as “expected” and other similar words. Our actual liquidity may differ from our projected liquidity based on a number of factors, including those listed in “—Risks and Uncertainties regarding Future Liquidity”.

Contingent Convertible Notes

The balance sheet classification of our contingent convertible notes between short-term and long-term is dependent upon certain conversion triggers, as defined in the applicable indenture. The contingent convertible notes include a provision whereby the note holder can require immediate conversion of the notes if, among other reasons, the credit rating on the contingent convertible notes assigned by Moody’s is lower than B2 or if the credit rating assigned by S&P is lower than B. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the conversion trigger was met, and accordingly, the contingent convertible notes have been classified as a short-term liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Based upon this particular conversion right and based upon an assumed market price of our stock of $0.35 per share, our aggregate obligation for full satisfaction of the $21.7 million par value of contingent convertible notes would require cash payments of $0.2 million. Our Credit Agreement will not allow us to pay more than $1 million in cash payments with respect to the conversion of these notes unless 66 2/3% of the lenders approve the excess payments.

Cash Flow Measurements

We use free cash flow as a measurement to manage working capital and capital expenditures. Free cash flow indicates cash available to fund additional capital expenditures, to reduce outstanding debt (including current maturities) or to invest in our growth strategies.

 

51


Table of Contents

This measurement is used for internal management purposes and should not be construed as a better measurement than net cash from operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles.

The following table illustrates our calculation for determining free cash flow for the six months ended June 30:

 

(in millions)

   2010     2009  

Net cash used in operating activities

   $ (14.5   $ (243.4

Net property and equipment proceeds

     24.9        11.5   
                

Free cash flow

   $ 10.4      $ (231.9
                

Operating cash flows increased $228.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus the same period in 2009. The increase in cash from operations was largely due to a reduced net loss combined with the receipt of an $82.4 million income tax refund in February 2010 and $1.9 million in April 2010. Additionally, an increase in business volumes during the second quarter of 2010 contributed to an increase in accounts receivable and accounts payable from December 2009 to June 2010 of $27.6 million and $17.7 million, respectively. Operating cash flows used by our discontinued operations were $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus cash provided by operations of $18.1 million for the same period in 2009. This decrease is mainly attributable to working capital changes.

Net property and equipment additions were $13.4 million lower in 2010 versus 2009 and reflect our continued focus on managing overall capital expenditures during the period of reduced volumes.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $30.8 million in 2010 versus $71.3 million in 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we received proceeds of $49.8 million from the sale of our 6% Notes and increased borrowings under our credit facility by $28.9 million, which in turn, provided us with the funds to pay off our 8  1/2% USF notes in the amount of $45.3 million. We also received proceeds of $15.9 million from our at the market issuance sales which are discussed further within our liquidity section. We incurred debt issuance costs of $9.6 million in 2010 in conjunction with our 6% Notes and credit facility amendments. We also paid $17.3 million of equity issuance costs related to the December 31, 2009 bond exchange and at the market transactions.

(b) Long-term debt maturities are reflected by contractual maturity for all obligations other than the contingent convertible senior notes. These notes are instead presented based on the earliest possible redemption date defined as the first date on which the note holders have the option to require us to purchase their notes at par. At June 30, 2010, these notes are convertible for cash payments of approximately $0.2 million based on an assumed market price of $0.35 per share for our common stock. Should the note holders elect to exercise the conversion options, cash payments of $0.2 million would be less than those presented in the table above.
(c) Obligations for operating leases for YRC Logistics, a discontinued operation, have been excluded from the obligations included herein.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we entered into no new operating leases for revenue equipment.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are primarily exposed to the market risk associated with unfavorable movements in interest rates, foreign currencies, and fuel price volatility. The risk inherent in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss or increased expense arising from adverse changes in those factors. There have been no material changes to our market risk policies or our market risk sensitive instruments and positions as described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our principal executive and financial officers have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We discuss legal proceedings in the “Commitments, Contingencies and Uncertainties” note to our consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

If we are unable to meet the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ, our common stock currently listed on the NASDAQ may be delisted which would have an adverse effect on the market liquidity for our common stock.

The NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements provide, among other requirements, that the minimum bid price of our common stock not fall below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. On March 3, 2010, we received from the NASDAQ a notice of non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and we have a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until August 30, 2010, to regain compliance with this requirement. In order to regain compliance, the closing price of our common stock must be $1.00 or greater for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180-day grace period. On February 17, 2010, we received shareholder approval of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation that permits our board of directors to effect a reverse stock split within a range from 5:1 to 25:1 at anytime prior to February 17, 2011.

Our board of directors continues to evaluate the timing of a reverse stock split, and at this time, has not finalized a date. Assuming the closing price of our common stock price is not above $1.00 for ten consecutive business days by August 30, 2010, we expect to receive a delisting notice from NASDAQ. If we receive a delisting notice from NASDAQ, we would intend to request a hearing with NASDAQ to present a plan of compliance. The request for a hearing will stay the delisting of our common stock. We expect that a hearing would be scheduled 30 to 45 days after NASDAQ receives our request for a hearing. There can be no assurance that an exception would be granted to extend the period we have to regain compliance with the NASDAQ marketplace rules and our common stock will not be subject to delisting.

Delisting of our common stock would have an adverse effect on the market liquidity of our common stock and, as a result, the market price for our common stock could become more volatile. Further, delisting also could make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.

We do not believe we will be able to meet our liquidity requirements if our current deferral arrangements are not extended beyond their current respective expiration dates.

At the end of 2010, the temporary cessation of our requirement to make contributions to the multi-employer pension funds in which we participate will end absent a new agreement with the Teamsters to address this requirement. Based upon expected levels of employment in 2011, we estimate that we will be required to contribute approximately $25-30 million per month to multi-employer pension funds in 2011. Absent the consent of two-thirds in interest of the lenders under the Credit Agreement to continue the deferral of interest and fees under the Credit Agreement during 2011, the deferral will terminate at the end of 2010. In addition, for us to continue our deferral of the payment of future interest and the amortized principal to the pension funds during 2011 under the Contribution Deferral Agreement, 90% in interest of the pension funds that are a party to the Contribution Deferral Agreement must vote to continue the deferral.

Previously deferred interest and fees under the Credit Agreement of $90.8 million are not due until the end of 2011, unless a majority in interest of the lenders accelerate the payment because of a termination of the deferral under the Contribution Deferral Agreement or to the extent our cash and unblocked availability under the Credit Agreement and the ABS Facility in 2011 exceeds certain levels set forth in the Credit Agreement. Likewise, under the Contribution Deferral Agreement, previously deferred interest and amortized principal payments of $150.4 million are not due until the end of 2011, unless a majority in interest of the funds elect to accelerate the payments after termination of the deferral. The Company must also renew its ABS Facility in October 2010 and expects to address the continuation of the deferral of ABS Facility fees of $18.8 million in this renewal. In addition, if the fee and interest deferrals under the Credit Agreement do not continue in 2011, the Teamsters have the right to terminate the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Understanding on the Job Security Plan dated July 9, 2009, which, among other things, would eliminate the 15% wage reduction in place since August 2009 through March 2013 for employees of bargaining units that have ratified that plan.

We do not expect that we will have sufficient liquidity to make these payments in 2011. As a result, we are in discussions with all of our stakeholders and we are exploring the restructuring and possible recapitalization of these obligations, which is likely to include the issuance of a significant amount of additional equity. Among other discussions with all of our stakeholders, the Company and the Teamsters are engaged in discussions regarding this requirement and the competitiveness of the Company through two joint

labor/management committees that have been formed. A failure to address these obligations prior to 2011 would materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to continue to operate our business in the ordinary course.
