Rush Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:RUSHA) (NASDAQ:RUSHB), which
operates the largest network of commercial vehicle dealerships in
North America, today announced that for the quarter ended March 31,
2017, the Company achieved revenues of $1.045 billion and net
income of $14.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared with
revenues of $1.071 billion and net income of $2.4 million, or $0.06
per diluted share, in the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Our
net income in the first quarter of 2016 was negatively impacted by
the Company taking a non-recurring restructuring charge of $8.1
million to selling, general and administrative expenses. This
non-recurring restructuring charge was related to the closing of
certain dealerships and the disposition of excess real estate in
the first quarter of 2016. This non-recurring restructuring
charge reduced earnings per diluted share by $0.12 in the first
quarter. Excluding the first quarter 2016 non-recurring
restructuring charge, net income increased by $7.2 million in the
first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016.
“Given continued challenging market conditions, I am proud of
our financial performance this quarter. Modest increases in
activity in both the energy and construction sectors positively
impacted revenues in all parts of our business,” said W.M. “Rusty”
Rush, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Rush
Enterprises, Inc. “We continued to aggressively manage costs
throughout our organization, which also contributed to our improved
net income this quarter. We also expanded our service and
sales capacity with the opening of two new Peterbilt dealerships,
one in New Mexico and one in Texas, and we continued numerous
facility renovation projects across our network,” he said.
“We reorganized certain positions in our leadership team over the
past few months to better align our operations and heighten our
focus on strategic initiatives, and we are beginning to build
momentum in these areas,” Rush added.
“As always, I wish to extend my thanks to all of our employees
for their steadfast dedication to our customers while also managing
expenses and staying focused on our strategic growth initiatives,”
said Rush.
Operations
Aftermarket Solutions
Aftermarket services accounted for approximately 67% of the
Company’s total gross profit in the first quarter of 2017, with
parts, service and body shop revenues up 2.4%, as compared to the
first quarter of 2016. The Company achieved a quarterly
absorption ratio of 113.4% in the first quarter of 2017.
“In general, vocational aftermarket business remains steady, and
we are seeing growth on both coasts primarily linked to
construction,” said Rush. “We are also seeing modest growth
in energy sector activity, and we expect that growth will continue
at the same pace throughout 2017.
“Our dealerships continue to work diligently to manage expenses
and gain efficiencies, both of which have helped improve our
operating profit this quarter,” Rush noted. “Further, we remain
committed to our strategic growth initiatives and are beginning to
gain traction on these efforts,” he added.
Truck Sales
U.S. Class 8 retail sales were 38,023 units in the first
quarter, down 29% over the same time period last year. The
Company sold 2,706 Class 8 trucks in the first quarter, an increase
of 1.0% compared to 2016, and accounted for 7.1% of the U.S. Class
8 truck market. ACT Research forecasts U.S. retail sales for
Class 8 vehicles to be 168,000 units in 2017, a 15% decrease
compared to 2016.
“Over-the-road fleet sales remain challenging, as they did
throughout 2016, but we experienced moderate increases in stock
truck, small fleet and vocational sales in the first quarter,” said
Rush. “The number of used trucks for sale nationwide remains
higher than normal causing continued low used truck values.
However, we have positioned our used truck inventory to be as
aggressive as possible in the current market,” Rush said.
“In addition, we have seen an increase in Class 8 truck orders
from stronger activity in the vocational segment, such as
construction and energy, and general economic improvement. We
are encouraged by this increase in order activity, and believe 2017
is shaping up to be better than originally anticipated,” said
Rush. The Company sold 2,553 Class 4-7 medium-duty commercial
vehicles in the first quarter, a decrease of 22.0% compared to the
first quarter of 2016, and accounted for 4.5% of the U.S. Class 4-7
commercial vehicle market. ACT Research forecasts U.S. retail
sales for Class 4-7 vehicles to reach 233,800 units in 2017, a 3%
increase over 2016.
“Due to the timing of several large fleet deliveries in the
first quarter of 2016, we showed a decline in our medium-duty sales
this quarter, but we expect to remain on pace with the market
throughout the rest of 2017,” Rush said. “We continue to see
demand for our ‘Ready-to-Roll’ work-ready inventory, especially in
the Southeast United States where construction is strong, as well
as strong demand in our vehicle lease and rental markets,” said
Rush.
Financial Highlights
In the first quarter, the Company’s gross revenues totaled
$1.045 billion, a 2.4% decrease from $1.071 billion in the first
quarter of 2016. Net income for the quarter was $14.5
million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.4
million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the quarter ended March 31,
2016. The non-recurring restructuring charge in the first
quarter of 2016, related to the closing of certain dealerships and
the disposition of excess real estate, reduced earnings per diluted
share by $0.12 in the first quarter of 2016. Excluding the
first quarter 2016 non-recurring restructuring charge, net income
increased by $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to
the first quarter of 2016.
Parts, service and body shop revenues were $350.1 million in the
first quarter of 2017, compared to $341.9 million in the first
quarter of 2016. The Company delivered 2,706 new heavy-duty
trucks, 2,553 new medium-duty commercial vehicles, 347 new
light-duty commercial vehicles and 1,711 used commercial vehicles
during the first quarter of 2017, compared to 2,679 new heavy-duty
trucks, 3,271 new medium-duty commercial vehicles, 387 new
light-duty commercial vehicles and 1,735 used commercial vehicles
during the first quarter of 2016.
“As is customary for us in the first quarter of every year,
expenses increased due to employee benefits and payroll taxes,”
Rush said. “Even with these expense increases and $7.65
million of stock repurchases made under our $40 million stock
repurchase plan, our cash position remains strong, allowing us to
plan for future growth,” Rush concluded.

This press release and the attached financial
tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under
SEC rules, such as Absorption Ratio, Adjusted total debt, Adjusted
net (cash) debt, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free cash flow, Adjusted
free cash flow and Adjusted invested capital, which exclude certain
items disclosed in the attached financial tables. The Company
provides reconciliations of these measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP measures.
Management believes the presentation of these
non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information about the
results of operations of the Company for the current and past
periods. Management believes that investors should have the
same information available to them that management uses to assess
the Company’s operating performance and capital structure.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial
measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial
measures utilized by the Company may not be comparable to similarly
titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Absorption RatioManagement uses
several performance metrics to evaluate the performance of its
commercial vehicle dealerships and considers Rush Truck Centers’
“absorption ratio” to be of critical importance. Absorption
ratio is calculated by dividing the gross profit from the parts,
service and body shop departments by the overhead expenses of all
of a dealership’s departments, except for the selling expenses of
the new and used commercial vehicle departments and carrying costs
of new and used commercial vehicle inventory. When 100%
absorption is achieved, then gross profit from the sale of a
commercial vehicle, after sales commissions and inventory carrying
costs, directly impacts operating profit.

Management uses “Adjusted Total Debt” to reflect
the Company’s estimated financial obligations less debt related to
lease and rental fleet (L&RFD) and floor plan notes payable
(FPNP), and “Adjusted Net (Cash) Debt” to present the amount of
Adjusted Total Debt net of cash and cash equivalents on the
Company’s balance sheet. The FPNP is used to finance the
Company’s new and used inventory, with its principal balance
changing daily as vehicles are purchased and sold and the sale
proceeds are used to repay the notes. Consequently, in
managing the business, management views the FPNP as interest
bearing accounts payable, representing the cost of acquiring the
vehicle that is then repaid when the vehicle is sold, as the
Company’s credit agreements require it to repay loans used to
purchase vehicles when such vehicles are sold. The Company’s
lease & rental fleet are fully financed and are either (i)
leased to customers under long-term lease arrangements or (ii), to
a lesser extent, dedicated to the Company’s rental business.
In both cases, the lease and rental payments fully cover the
capital costs of the lease & rental fleet (i.e., the principal
repayments and interest expense on the borrowings used to acquire
the vehicles and the depreciation expense associated with the
vehicles), plus a profit margin for the Company. The Company
believes excluding the FPNP and L&RFD from the Company’s total
debt for this purpose provides management with supplemental
information regarding the Company’s capital structure and leverage
profile and assists investors in performing analysis that is
consistent with financial models developed by Company management
and research analysts. “Adjusted Total Debt” and “Adjusted
Net (Cash) Debt” are both non-GAAP financial measures and should be
considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the
Company’s debt obligations, as reported in the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may vary among companies and
may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by
other companies.

The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
as additional information about its operating results. The
presentation of Adjusted EBITDA that excludes the addition of
interest expense associated with FPNP to EBITDA is consistent with
management’s presentation of Adjusted Total Debt, in each case
reflecting management’s view of interest expense associated with
the FPNP as an operating expense of the Company, and to provide
management with supplemental information regarding operating
results and to assist investors in performing analysis that is
consistent with financial models developed by management and
research analyst. Management recorded a charge to selling,
general and administrative expense during the first and second
quarters of 2016 related to the closing of certain dealerships and
the disposition of excess real estate. Management believes
adding back this charge to EBITDA provides both the investors and
management with supplemental information regarding the Company’s
core operating results. “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA” are both
non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition
to, and not as a substitute for, net income of the Company, as
reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of income in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP
measures may vary among companies and may not be comparable to
similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other
companies.

“Free Cash Flow” and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow”
are key financial measures of the Company’s ability to generate
cash from operating its business. Free Cash Flow is
calculated by subtracting the acquisition of property and equipment
included in the Cash flows from investing activities from Net cash
provided by (used in) operating activities. For purposes of
deriving Adjusted Free Cash Flow from the Company’s operating cash
flow, Company management makes the following adjustments: (i) adds
back draws (or subtracts payments) on the floor plan financing that
are included in Cash flows from financing activities as their
purpose is to finance the vehicle inventory that is included in
Cash flows from operating activities; (ii) adds back proceeds from
notes payable related specifically to the financing of the lease
and rental fleet that are reflected in Cash flows from financing
activities; (iii) subtracts draws on floor plan financing, net and
proceeds from L&RFD related to business acquisition assets that
are included in Cash flows from investing activities; (iv)
subtracts principal payments on notes payable related specifically
to the financing of the lease and rental fleet that are included in
Cash flows from financing activities; and (v) adds back
non-maintenance capital expenditures that are for growth and
expansion (i.e. building of new dealership facilities) that are not
considered necessary to maintain the current level of cash
generated by the business. “Free Cash Flows” and “Adjusted
Free Cash Flows” are both presented so that investors have the same
financial data that management uses in evaluating the Company’s
cash flows from operating activities. “Free Cash Flow” and
“Adjusted Free Cash Flow” are both non-GAAP financial measures and
should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for,
net cash provided by (used in) operations of the Company, as
reported in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP
measures may vary among companies and may not be comparable to
similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other
companies.

“Adjusted Invested Capital” is a key financial
measure used by the Company to calculate its return on invested
capital. For purposes of this analysis, management excludes
L&RFD, FPNP, and cash and cash equivalents, for the reasons
provided in the debt analysis above and uses Adjusted Net Debt in
the calculation. The Company believes this approach provides
management a more accurate picture of the Company’s leverage
profile and capital structure, and assists investors in performing
analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by
Company management and research analysts. “Adjusted Net
(Cash) Debt” and “Adjusted Invested Capital” are both non-GAAP
financial measures. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may
vary among companies and may not be comparable to similarly titled
non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
