Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On January 31, 2013, we issued a press release reporting our financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012 (the “Press Release”). We also hosted a conference call and webcast on January 31, 2013 during which we made a presentation on our financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012 (the “Presentation”). The Press Release and the Presentation are available on our website at www.ryder.com .

The Press Release and Presentation include information regarding comparable earnings from continuing operations and comparable earnings per share from continuing operations for both fourth quarter and full year 2012 and 2011, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC regulations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, and allow for better year-over-year comparison, as the measures exclude from our GAAP earnings from continuing operations and earnings per share from continuing operations, as applicable, (1) for the fourth quarter of 2012, certain vehicle-related losses from Superstorm Sandy, (2) for the full year of 2012, income tax benefits, acquisition-related transaction costs and restructuring charges, (3) for the fourth quarter of 2011, acquisition-related transaction costs and restructuring charges related to the integration of an acquisition and (4) for the full year of 2011, charges related to tax law changes, an income tax benefit from prior year acquisition-related transaction costs, acquisition-related transaction costs and restructuring charges, all of which are unrelated to our ongoing business operations.

Additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the Press Release, the Presentation and our reports filed with the SEC.

The information in this Report, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and General Instruction B.2 thereunder and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.
