the second half of the year we will continue to take actions
designed to further improve our cost structure and profitability
while reducing debt,” said John J. Hafferty, chief financial

“Pacer is experiencing sustained success in our transformation
to a direct to end-customer integrated service model. The service
improvements we have achieved are allowing us to gain new customers
and add higher valued freight to our domestic and international
transportation networks. We are delivering on our 2010 objectives
including operational efficiency initiatives designed to generate
additional capacity that will allow us to capitalize on improving
freight markets during the second half of the year,” added Daniel
W. Avramovich, chairman and CEO of Pacer.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES: This press release
contains “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including adjusted net income and adjusted
income from operations for the logistics and intermodal segments
and on a consolidated basis. These non-GAAP measures which exclude
the effect of the company’s goodwill impairment write-off in the
first quarter of 2009 and severance charges in 2009 and 2010 are
used by management and the Board of Directors in their analysis of
the company's ongoing core operating performance. Management
believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful
supplemental information that is essential to a proper
understanding of the operating results of the company's core
businesses and allows investors to more easily compare operating
results from period to period. A tabular reconciliation of the
differences between the non-GAAP financial information discussed in
this release and the most directly comparable financial information
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is contained in
the financial summary statements attached to this press
release.
CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS--This press release
contains or may contain 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.
These forward-looking statements are based on the company's current
expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of risks,
uncertainties and assumptions. Among the important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements are general
economic and business conditions including the continued effect of
the current weak economic environment and the timing and strength
of any economic recovery; industry trends, including changes in the
costs of services from rail and motor transportation providers;
changes resulting from our new arrangements with Union Pacific that
have reduced revenues and may compress margins, result in
operational difficulties, and reduce our results of operations;
changes in the terms of new or replacement contracts with our
underlying rail carriers that are less favorable to us relative to
our legacy contracts as these expire (including our legacy contract
with Union Pacific, expiring in 2011 which continues to apply to
our automotive and international lines of business, and our legacy
contract with CSX, expiring in 2014); our ability to borrow amounts
under our credit agreement due to borrowing base limitations and/or
to comply with the financial ratio and other covenants in our
credit agreement; increases in interest rates; the loss of one or
more of our major customers; the success of our cost reduction
initiatives in improving our operating results and cash flows; the
effect of the current weak economic environment on our customers
including reduced transportation needs and an inability to pay us
on time or at all; the impact of competitive pressures in the
marketplace; the frequency and severity of accidents, particularly
involving our trucking operations; changes in, or the failure to
comply with, government regulation; changes in our business
strategy, development plans or cost savings plans; congestion, work
stoppages, equipment and capacity shortages, weather related issues
and service disruptions affecting our rail and motor transportation
providers; the degree and timing of changes in fuel prices,
including changes in the fuel costs and surcharges that we pay to
our vendors and those that we are able to collect from our
customers; our ability to successfully defend or resolve customer
and vendor rate and volume adjustment claims against us; changes in
international and domestic shipping patterns; availability of
qualified personnel; difficulties in maintaining or enhancing our
information technology systems including selecting, developing and
implementing applications and solutions to update our diverse
legacy systems; increases in our leverage; our ability to integrate
acquired businesses; and terrorism and acts of war. Additional
information about these and other factors that could affect the
company's business is set forth in the company's various filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those set
forth in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2010.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual
results may vary materially from those described herein as
anticipated, believed, expected or intended. Except as otherwise
required by federal securities laws, the company does not undertake
any obligation to update such forward-looking statements whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
