NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(A) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) and all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”) and variable interest entities (VIEs) required to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. These financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year.

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including intercompany profit allocations between Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) and Supply Chain Solutions (SCS). These reclassifications were immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole.

(B) ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Under the new standard, revenue will be measured and recognized using a performance obligation approach. The guidance will be effective on January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

In July 2013, the FASB issued accounting guidance on the balance sheet presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward exists. Under this guidance, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward. This guidance became effective on January 1, 2014 and resulted in a reclassification of $38.8 million from other non-current liabilities to deferred income taxes in our December 31, 2013 balance sheet. Other than the change in presentation within the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, this accounting guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In 2009, we ceased SCS service operations in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and European markets. Accordingly, results of these operations, financial position and cash flows are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented either in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements or notes thereto.

Summarized results of discontinued operations were as follows:

	Three months ended June 30, — 2014		2013		Six months ended June 30, — 2014		2013
	(In thousands)
Pre-tax loss from discontinued operations	$ (323	)	(298	)	$ (1,278	)	(1,199	)
Income tax (expense) benefit	(13	)	(83	)	76		(60	)
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	$ (336	)	(381	)	$ (1,202	)	(1,259	)

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Results of discontinued operations in 2014 and 2013 reflected losses related to adverse legal developments and professional and administrative fees associated with our discontinued South American operations.

The following is a summary of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations:

	June 30, 2014	December 31, 2013
	(In thousands)
Total assets, primarily deposits	$ 3,452	3,627
Total liabilities, primarily contingent accruals	$ 4,476	4,501

Although we discontinued our South American operations in 2009, we continue to be party to various federal, state and local legal proceedings involving labor matters, tort claims and tax assessments. We have established loss provisions for any matters where we believe a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. For matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In Brazil, we were assessed $5.3 million (before and after tax) in prior years for various federal income taxes and social contribution taxes for the 1997 and 1998 tax years. We have successfully overturned these federal tax assessments in the lower courts; however, there is a reasonable possibility that these rulings could be reversed and we would be required to pay the assessments. We believe it is more likely than not that our position will ultimately be sustained if appealed and no amounts have been reserved for these matters. We are entitled to indemnification for a portion of any resulting liability on these federal tax claims which, if honored, would reduce the estimated loss.

(D) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Share-based incentive awards are provided to employees under the terms of various share-based compensation plans (collectively, the “Plans”). The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards under the Plans principally include at-the-money stock options, nonvested stock and cash awards. Nonvested stock awards include grants of market-based, performance-based, and time-vested restricted stock rights. Under the terms of our Plans, dividends may be paid on our nonvested stock awards. Dividends on nonvested stock granted after 2011 are not paid unless the award vests. Upon vesting, the amount of the dividends paid is equal to the aggregate dividends declared on common shares during the period from the date of grant of the award until the date the shares underlying the award are delivered.

The following table provides information on share-based compensation expense and income tax benefits recognized during the periods:

	Three months ended June 30, — 2014		2013		Six months ended June 30, — 2014		2013
	(In thousands)
Stock option and stock purchase plans	$ 2,241		2,193		$ 4,478		4,303
Nonvested stock	2,890		2,799		5,511		5,299
Share-based compensation expense	5,131		4,992		9,989		9,602
Income tax benefit	(1,713	)	(1,640	)	(3,389	)	(3,327	)
Share-based compensation expense, net of tax	$ 3,418		3,352		$ 6,600		6,275

(E) EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Our nonvested stock granted prior to 2012 and restricted stock units granted to our Board of Directors are considered participating securities since these share-based awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividend cash payments prior to vesting. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations:

	Three months ended June 30, — 2014		2013		Six months ended June 30, — 2014		2013

(1) Revenue earning equipment, net includes vehicles acquired under capital leases of $48.1 million , less accumulated depreciation of $20.1 million , at June 30, 2014 , and $54.2 million , less accumulated depreciation of $22.0 million , at December 31, 2013 .

At the end of 2013, we completed our annual review of residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment. Based on the results of our analysis, we adjusted the estimated residual values of certain classes of revenue earning equipment effective January 1, 2014. The change in estimated residual values and useful lives increased pre-tax earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 by approximately $6.3 million and $12.5 million , respectively.

We lease revenue earning equipment to customers for periods typically ranging from three to seven years for trucks and tractors and up to ten years for trailers. The majority of our leases are classified as operating leases. However, some of our revenue earning equipment leases are classified as direct financing leases and, to a lesser extent, sales-type leases. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the net investment in direct financing and sales-type leases was $417.8 million and $400.1 million , respectively. Our direct financing lease customers operate in a wide variety of industries, and we have no significant customer concentrations in any one industry. We assess credit risk for all of our customers including those who lease equipment under direct financing leases upon signing of a full service lease contract. For those customers who are designated as high risk, we typically require deposits to be paid in advance in order to mitigate our credit risk. Additionally, our receivables are collateralized by the vehicles, based on their estimated fair values, which further mitigates our credit risk.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the amount of direct financing lease receivables past due was not significant, and there were no impaired receivables. Accordingly, we do not believe there is a material risk of default with respect to the direct financing lease receivables. The allowance for credit losses was $0.4 million and $0.5 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively.

We assess goodwill for impairment on April 1st of each year or more often if deemed necessary. In the second quarter of 2014 , we completed our annual goodwill impairment test. We performed a quantitative test for one reporting unit in the Supply Chain Solutions business segment and determined there was no impairment. We performed a qualitative test for our other reporting units, which considered individual factors such as macroeconomic conditions, changes in our industry and the markets in which we operate as well as our historical and expected future financial performance. After performing the qualitative assessment, we concluded it is more likely than not that fair values are greater than carrying values and determined there was no impairment.

(1) We had unamortized original issue discounts of $8.8 million and $8.3 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively.

(2) The notional amount of executed interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $600 million and $400 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively.

We maintain a $900 million global revolving credit facility with a syndicate of twelve lending institutions led by Bank of America N.A., Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., BNP Paribas, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., Royal Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The global credit facility matures in October 2018. The global facility is used primarily to finance working capital but can also be used to issue up to $75 million in letters of credit (there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility at June 30, 2014 ). At our option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on LIBOR, prime, federal funds or local equivalent rates. The agreement provides for annual facility fees which range from 8.0 basis points to 27.5 basis points and are based on Ryder’s long-term credit ratings. The annual facility fee is 12.5 basis points, which applies to the total facility size of $900 million . The credit facility contains no provisions limiting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to Ryder’s business operations; however, the credit facility does contain standard representations and warranties, events of default, cross-default provisions and certain affirmative and negative covenants. In order to maintain availability of funding, we must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated net worth of less than or equal to 300% . Net worth, as defined in the credit facility, represents shareholders' equity excluding any accumulated other comprehensive income or loss associated with our pension and other postretirement plans. The ratio at June 30, 2014 was 194% . At June 30, 2014 , $380.0 million was available under the credit facility.

Our global revolving credit facility enables us to refinance short-term obligations on a long-term basis. Settlement of short-term commercial paper obligations not expected to require the use of working capital are classified as long-term as we have both the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , we classified $375.9 million and $498.2 million , respectively, of short-term commercial paper as long-term debt. At June 30, 2014 , we reclassified $144.0 million of commercial paper as short-term debt as we do not expect to refinance these borrowings for at least one year from the balance sheet date.

In May 2014, we issued $400 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in September 2019 and in February 2014, we issued $350 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in June 2019. The proceeds from the notes were used to reduce commercial paper balances and for general corporate purposes. If the notes are downgraded below investment grade following, and as a result of, a change in control, the note holder can require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest .

We have a trade receivables purchase and sale program, pursuant to which we sell certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to a bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiary of Ryder, that in turn sells, on a revolving basis, an ownership interest in certain of these accounts receivable to a receivables conduit or committed purchasers. The subsidiary is considered a VIE and is consolidated based on our control of the entity’s activities. We use this program to provide additional liquidity to fund our operations, particularly when it is cost effective to do so. The costs under the program may vary based on changes in interest rates. The available proceeds that may be received under the program are limited to $175 million . If no event occurs that causes early termination, the 364-day program will expire on October 24, 2014. The program contains provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations or the collectibility of the collateralized receivables. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , no amounts were outstanding under the program. Sales of receivables under this program will be accounted for as secured borrowings based on our continuing involvement in the transferred assets.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , we had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding totaling $310.7 million and $310.5 million , respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.

(J) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist primarily of interest rate swaps and investments held in Rabbi Trusts. These amounts as of June 30, 2014 are not material to our consolidated financial position and operations and have not changed significantly from the amounts reported as of December 31, 2013 .

The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the levels of inputs used to measure fair value:

	Level 3	Total Losses (2) — Three months ended	Six months ended
(In thousands)
Assets held for sale:
Revenue earning equipment: (1)
Trucks	10,713	$ 1,572	$ 3,454
Tractors	6,057	662	2,294
Trailers	497	281	442
Total assets at fair value	17,267	$ 2,515	$ 6,190

	Level 3	Total Losses (2) — Three months ended	Six months ended
(In thousands)
Assets held for sale:
Revenue earning equipment (1)
Trucks	11,132	$ 2,447	$ 5,476
Tractors	16,283	1,413	2,508
Trailers	882	370	967
Total assets at fair value	28,297	$ 4,230	$ 8,951

————————————

(1) Represents the portion of all revenue earning equipment held for sale that is recorded at fair value, less costs to sell.

(2) Total losses represent fair value adjustments for all vehicles held for sale throughout the period for which fair value was less than carrying value.

Revenue earning equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Only certain vehicles held for sale have carrying amounts greater than the fair value and losses are recorded at the time they arrive at our used truck centers. We typically record gains on the remaining vehicles with carrying amounts greater than fair value at the time they are sold. Losses to reflect changes in fair value are presented within “Other operating expenses” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, we stratify our fleet by vehicle type (trucks, tractors and trailers), weight class, age and other relevant characteristics and create classes of similar assets for analysis purposes. Fair value was determined based upon recent market prices obtained from our own sales experience for sales of each class of similar assets and vehicle condition. Therefore, our revenue earning equipment held for sale was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair value of total debt (excluding capital lease obligations) at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $4.83 billion and $4.28 billion , respectively. For publicly-traded debt, estimates of fair value were based on market prices. Since our publicly-traded debt is not actively traded, the fair value measurement was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For other debt, fair value was estimated based on a model-driven approach using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Therefore, the fair value measurement of our other debt was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for “Cash and cash equivalents,” “Receivables, net” and “Accounts payable” approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

(K) DERIVATIVES

We have interest rate swaps outstanding which are designated as fair value hedges whereby we receive fixed interest rate payments in exchange for making variable interest rate payments. The differential to be paid or received is accrued and recognized as interest expense. The following table provides a detail of the swaps outstanding and the related hedged items as of June 30, 2014 :

	Maturity date	Face value of medium-term notes	Aggregate notional amount of interest rate swaps	Fixed interest rate	Weighted-average variable interest rate on hedged debt as of June 30,
Issuance date					2014	2013
		(Dollars in thousands)
February 2011	March 2015	$350,000	$150,000	3.15%	1.28%	1.41%
May 2011	June 2017	$350,000	$150,000	3.50%	1.42%	1.51%
November 2013	November 2018	$300,000	$100,000	2.45%	1.18%	—%
February 2014	June 2019	$350,000	$100,000	2.55%	1.10%	—%
May 2014	September 2019	$400,000	$100,000	2.45%	0.85%	—%

Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are offset by changes in the fair value of the debt instrument. Accordingly, there is no ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swaps. The location and amount of gains (losses) on interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges and related hedged items reported in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings were as follows:

Fair Value Hedging Relationship	Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
		2014		2013		2014		2013
		(In thousands)
Derivatives: Interest rate swaps	Interest expense	$ 1,667		(3,586	)	$ (316	)	(6,367	)
Hedged items: Fixed-rate debt	Interest expense	(1,667	)	3,586		316		6,367
Total		$ —		—		$ —		—

The derivatives are pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swaps based on the LIBOR rate and are designated as fair value hedges. Fair value was based on a model-driven income approach using the LIBOR rate at each interest payment date, which was observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swaps. Therefore, our interest rate swaps were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The location and fair value amounts of the interest rate swaps reported on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets were as follows:

Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	(In thousands)
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$ 1,834		$ —
Direct financing leases and other assets	6,162		9,333

(L) SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

In December 2013, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our various employee stock, stock option and employee stock purchase plans. Under the December 2013 program, management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued to employees under the Company’s various employee stock, stock option and employee stock purchase plans from December 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015. The December 2013 program limits aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. Share repurchases of common stock are made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management established prearranged written plans for the Company under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the December 2013 program, which allow for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 , we repurchased and retired 464,389 shares under the program at an aggregate cost of $39.1 million . For the six months ended June 30, 2014 , we repurchased and retired 1,027,072 shares under the program at an aggregate cost of $79.5 million . We did not repurchase any shares under this program in 2013.

In December 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our various employee stock, stock option and employee stock purchase plans. Under the December 2011 program, management was authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued to employees under the Company's various employee stock, stock option and employee stock purchase plans from December 1, 2011 through December 13, 2013. The December 2011 program limited aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. In 2013, we did not repurchase any shares under this program as we temporarily paused our anti-dilutive share repurchase program to appropriately manage our leverage and to allow us to maintain near-term balance sheet flexibility.

(O) OTHER ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY

Our primary measure of segment performance excludes certain items we do not believe are representative of the ongoing operations of the segment. We believe that excluding these items from our segment measure of performance allows for better comparison of results.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 , we recognized a benefit of $1.9 million (before and after tax) from the recognition of the accumulated currency translation adjustment from a FMS foreign operation which has substantially liquidated its net assets. This benefit was recorded within “Miscellaneous income, net” in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

(R) SEGMENT REPORTING

Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. We operate in two reportable business segments: (1) FMS, which provides full service leasing, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and commercial rental of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers, principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; and (2) SCS, which provides comprehensive supply chain management solutions including distribution and transportation services in North America and Asia. The SCS segment also provides dedicated services, which includes vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S.

Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as “Earnings Before Tax” (EBT) from continuing operations, includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes non-operating pension costs, restructuring and other charges, net and the items discussed in Note (O), “Other Items Impacting Comparability.” CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services, public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal, marketing and corporate communications. The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment and each operating segment within each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included among the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation.

Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment and provides fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the SCS segment. Inter-segment revenue and EBT are accounted for at rates similar to those executed with third parties. EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to customers (equipment contribution) are included in both FMS and SCS and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations”).

(S) OTHER MATTERS

We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our continuing business operations including but not limited to those relating to commercial and employment claims, environmental matters, risk management matters (e.g. vehicle liability, workers’ compensation, etc.) and administrative assessments primarily associated with operating taxes. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For matters from continuing operations where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.

Refer to Note (C), “Discontinued Operations,” for additional matters.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto included under Item 1. In addition, reference should be made to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) is a global leader in transportation and supply chain management solutions. Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. We operate in two reportable business segments: (1) FMS, which provides full service leasing, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and commercial rental of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers, principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; and (2) SCS, which provides comprehensive supply chain management solutions including distribution and transportation services, in North America and Asia. The SCS segment also provides dedicated services, which includes vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S.

We operate in highly competitive markets. Our customers select us based on numerous factors including service quality, price, technology and service offerings. As an alternative to using our services, customers may choose to provide these services for themselves, or may choose to obtain similar or alternative services from other third-party vendors. Our customer base includes enterprises operating in a variety of industries including automotive, industrial, food and beverage service, consumer packaged goods, transportation and warehousing, hi-tech and electronics, retail, housing, business and personal services, and paper and publishing.

Total revenue increased 5% in the second quarter of 2014 to $1.68 billion and increased 4% in the first half of 2014 to $3.30 billion . Operating revenue (revenue excluding FMS fuel and all subcontracted transportation) increased 6% in the second quarter of 2014 to $1.39 billion and increased 5% to $2.72 billion in the first half of 2014 . The increase in total and operating revenue for both periods was driven by growth in both the FMS and SCS business segments. See “Consolidated Results” for further discussion of operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure.

Earnings from continuing operations before taxes (EBT) increased 23% in the second quarter of 2014 to $120.0 million and increased 22% in the first half of 2014 to $195.0 million . The increase in EBT in both the second quarter and first half of 2014 reflects improved performance in the FMS business segment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

EBT, earnings and EPS from continuing operations in the second quarter and first half of 2014 and 2013 included certain items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operations and have been excluded from our comparable EBT, earnings and EPS measures. The following discussion provides a summary of these items, which are discussed in more detail throughout our MD&A and within the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements:

	EBT — 2014	2013		Earnings — 2014		2013		Diluted EPS — 2014		2013
Three months ended June 30	(In thousands, except per share amounts)
EBT/Earnings/EPS	$ 120,045	97,362		$ 75,694		62,575		$ 1.42		1.19
Non-operating pension costs (1)	1,544	4,999		798		2,924		0.02		0.06
Comparable (2)	$ 121,589	102,361		$ 76,492		65,499		$ 1.44		1.25
Six months ended June 30
EBT/Earnings/EPS	$ 195,049	159,870		$ 124,792		103,377		$ 2.34		1.98
Non-operating pension costs (1)	4,858	10,243		2,686		6,005		0.05		0.12
Benefit from tax law change (3)	—	—		(1,776	)	—		(0.03	)	—
Foreign currency translation benefit (4)	—	(1,904	)	—		(1,904	)	—		(0.04	)
Comparable (2)	$ 199,907	168,209		$ 125,702		107,478		$ 2.36		2.06

(1) Includes the amortization of actuarial loss, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement costs, which are tied to financial market performance. We consider these costs to be outside the operational performance of the business.

(2) Non-GAAP financial measure. We believe comparable EBT, comparable earnings and comparable earnings per diluted common share all from continuing operations measures provide useful information to investors because they exclude non-operating pension costs, which we consider to be those impacted by financial market performance and outside the operational performance of the business, and other significant items, such as the impact of tax law changes and foreign currency translations that are unrelated to our ongoing business operations.

(3) On March 31, 2014, the State of New York enacted changes to its tax system, which impacted net operating loss provisions and reduced the corporate income tax rate from 7.1% to 6.5%. The impact of these changes resulted in a non-cash benefit to deferred income taxes of $1.8 million.

(4) See Note (O), "Other Items Impacting Comparability," for additional information.

Excluding the special items listed above, comparable earnings and comparable EPS from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2014 increased 17% to $76.5 million and increased 15% to $1.44 per diluted common share, respectively. Comparable earnings and comparable EPS from continuing operations in the first half of 2014 increased 17% to $125.7 million and increased 15% to $2.36 per diluted common share, respectively. EBT growth exceeded the EPS growth during the second quarter and first half of 2014 because the average number of shares outstanding has increased 2% and 3% , respectively, over prior year reflecting the impact of stock issuances under employee stock option and stock purchase plans.

In the second quarter of 2014 , net earnings and EPS increased 21% to $75.4 million and 18% to $1.41 per diluted common share, respectively. Net earnings and EPS increased 21% in the first half of 2014 to $123.6 million and 18% to $2.32 per diluted common share, respectively.

————————————

(1) We use operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of our businesses and as a measure of sales activity. FMS fuel services revenue, which is directly impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices, is excluded from the operating revenue computation as fuel is largely a pass-through to our customers for which we realize minimal changes in profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on market fuel costs. Subcontracted transportation is deducted from total revenue to arrive at operating revenue as subcontracted transportation is typically a pass-through to our customers. We realize minimal changes in profitability as a result of fluctuations in subcontracted transportation. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of total revenue to operating revenue.

Revenue and Cost of Revenue by Source

Total revenue increased 5% in the second quarter of 2014 to $1.68 billion . Operating revenue increased 6% in the second quarter of 2014 to $1.39 billion . For the first half of 2014, total revenue increased 4% to $3.30 billion and operating revenue increased 5% to $2.72 billion . The increase in total and operating revenue reflects growth in both FMS and SCS. The FMS growth was primarily driven by higher lease and rental revenues and the SCS growth was driven by new business and higher volumes.

Lease and Rental

	Three months ended June 30, — 2014	2013	Six months ended June 30, — 2014	2013	Change 2014/2013 — Three Months	Six Months
	(Dollars in thousands)
Lease and rental revenues	$ 733,763	688,048	$ 1,423,445	1,347,756	7%	6%
Cost of lease and rental	508,091	476,662	1,001,134	949,739	7%	5%
Gross margin	225,672	211,386	422,311	398,017	7%	6%
Gross margin %	31 %	31 %	30 %	30 %

Lease and rental revenues represent full service lease and commercial rental product offerings within our FMS business segment. Revenues increased 7% in the second quarter of 2014 to $733.8 million and increased 6% to $1.42 billion in the first half of 2014 primarily driven by 2% full service lease fleet growth, higher prices on full service lease vehicles and increased commercial rental revenue. Commercial rental revenue grew due to higher rental pricing (up 5% in both the second quarter and first half of 2014 ) and increased North American demand.

Cost of lease and rental represents the direct costs related to lease and rental revenues. These costs are comprised of depreciation of revenue earning equipment, maintenance costs (primarily repair parts and labor), and other fixed costs such as licenses, insurance and operating taxes. Cost of lease and rental excludes interest costs from vehicle financing. Cost of lease and rental grew 7% to $508.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 and increased 5% to $1.00 billion in the first half of 2014 due to higher depreciation from increased lease vehicle investments and fleet growth as well as higher maintenance costs on a larger average fleet. Cost of lease and rental benefited by $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2014 and by $12.5 million in the first half of 2014 due to changes in estimated residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment effective January 1, 2014 .

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

Lease and rental gross margin increased 7% in the second quarter of 2014 to $225.7 million and increased 6% to $422.3 million in the first half of 2014 . Lease and rental gross margin as a percentage of revenue remained at 31% as a percentage of revenue in the second quarter of 2014 and at 30% in the first half of 2014 . The increase in margin dollars was due to higher rental pricing and demand as well as benefits from depreciation policy changes.

Services

	Three months ended June 30, — 2014	2013	Six months ended June 30, — 2014	2013	Change 2014/2013 — Three Months	Six Months
	(Dollars in thousands)
Services revenue	$ 741,427	707,666	$ 1,451,126	1,397,127	5%	4%
Cost of services	625,276	590,311	1,231,505	1,173,900	6%	5%
Gross margin	116,151	117,355	219,621	223,227	(1)%	(2)%
Gross margin %	16 %	17 %	15 %	16 %

Services revenue represents all the revenues associated with our SCS business segment as well as contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and fleet support services associated with our FMS business segment. Services revenue increased 5% in the second quarter of 2014 to $741.4 million and increased 4% in the first half of 2014 to $1.45 billion primarily due to new business and higher volumes in our SCS business segment, especially in our dedicated services offerings.

Cost of services represents the direct costs related to services revenue and is primarily comprised of salaries and employee-related costs, SCS subcontracted transportation (purchased transportation from third parties) and maintenance costs. Cost of services increased 6% in the second quarter of 2014 to $625.3 million and increased 5% in the first half of 2014 to $1.23 billion primarily due to higher revenue. Costs of services also increased as a result of greater than expected start-up costs on a new SCS international distribution management account, downtime and other costs related to severe winter weather in our SCS business segment and, to a lesser extent, shutdown costs related to lost business in the automotive sector.

Services gross margin decreased 1% to $116.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 and decreased 2% to $219.6 million in the first half of 2014 . Services gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 16% in the second quarter and to 15% in the first half of 2014 . The decline in margin and margin percentage was due to greater than expected start-up costs on a new SCS international account and severe winter weather-related downtime and associated costs in SCS.

Fuel

	Three months ended June 30, — 2014	2013	Six months ended June 30, — 2014	2013	Change 2014/2013 — Three Months	Six Months

Gross margin	5,768	3,659	9,919	7,214	58%	37%
Gross margin %	3 %	2 %	2 %	2 %

Fuel services revenue increased 1% in the second quarter of 2014 to $209.4 million due to higher fuel prices passed through to customers. Fuel services revenue in the first half of 2014 remained relatively unchanged from 2013 .

Cost of fuel services includes the direct costs associated with providing our customers with fuel. These costs include fuel, salaries and employee-related costs of fuel island attendants and depreciation of our fueling facilities and equipment. Cost of fuel in the second quarter of 2014 remained relatively unchanged from 2013 and decreased 1% in the first half of 2014 to $410.8 million caused by lower gallons partially offset by higher fuel prices.

Fuel services gross margin increased 58% to $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 and increased 37% to $9.9 million in the first half of 2014 . Fuel is largely a pass-through to customers for which we realize minimal changes in margin during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, fuel services margin is impacted by sudden increases or decreases in market fuel prices during a short period of time as customer pricing for fuel is established based on market fuel costs. Fuel services margin as a percentage of revenue increased 1% in the second quarter of 2014 and was unchanged in the first half of 2014 .

Other operating expenses	$ 31,007	32,876	$ 67,652	70,475	(6)%	(4)%

Other operating expenses include costs related to our owned and leased facilities within the FMS business segment such as facility depreciation, rent, insurance, utilities and taxes. These facilities are utilized to provide maintenance to our lease, rental, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and on-demand customers. Other operating expenses also include the costs associated with used vehicle sales such as writedowns of used vehicles to fair market value and facilities costs. Other operating expenses decreased 6% to $31.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to a $1.7 million reduction in writedowns on vehicles held for sale. Other operating expenses decreased 4% to $67.7 million in the first half of 2014 due to lower writedowns on vehicles held for sale of $2.8 million and lower property insurance costs partially offset by higher maintenance costs for FMS facilities due to severe winter weather.

Percentage of operating revenue	14 %	15 %	14 %	15 %

SG&A expenses increased 3% to $200.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 and increased 2% to $392.1 million in the first half of 2014 . SG&A expenses as a percent of total revenue remained at 12% for both periods. The SG&A expense increase in the second quarter and first half of 2014 was driven by higher compensation-related expenses partially offset by lower pension expense. The increase in the first half of 2014 was also impacted by higher information technology and marketing-related costs. Pension expense, which primarily impacts SG&A expenses, decreased $3.7 million in the second quarter and $6.2 million in the first half of 2014 reflecting higher than expected pension asset returns in 2013 and lower service costs.

Gains on vehicle sales, net	$ 34,365	23,197	$ 63,183	46,203	48%	37%

Gains on vehicle sales, net increased 48% in the second quarter of 2014 to $34.4 million and increased 37% in the first half of 2014 to $63.2 million due to higher average proceeds per unit. Global average proceeds per unit increased 15% in the second quarter of 2014 and 11% in the first half of 2014 partially due to an increase in retail sales.

Interest expense increased 4% in the second quarter of 2014 to $35.3 million and increased 3% in the first half of 2014 to $70.4 million reflecting higher average outstanding debt partially offset by a lower effective interest rate. The increase in average outstanding debt reflects planned higher vehicle capital spending. The lower effective interest rate in 2014 primarily reflects the replacement of higher interest rate debt with debt issuances at lower rates.

Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2014 was 36.9% compared with 35.7% in the same period of the prior year. The increase in our effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2014 reflects higher non-deductible foreign operating losses.

Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 36.0% compared with 35.3% in the same period of the prior year. The increase in the effective tax rate in the first half of 2014 reflects higher non-deductible foreign operating losses partially offset by a benefit from a tax law change in the state of New York.

As part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, we define the primary measurement of our segment financial performance as “Earnings Before Taxes” (EBT) from continuing operations, which includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS), and excludes non-operating pension costs, restructuring and other charges, net and the items discussed in Note (O), “Other Items Impacting Comparability,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services and public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal, marketing and corporate communications.

The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment and each operating segment within each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included within the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation.

Inter-segment revenue and EBT are accounted for at rates similar to those executed with third parties. EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to customers (equipment contribution) are included in both FMS and SCS and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations” in the table above). Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

————————————

(1) We use operating revenue and EBT as a percent of operating revenue, non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate the operating performance of our FMS business segment and as a measure of sales activity. Fuel services revenue, which is directly impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices, is excluded from our operating revenue computation as fuel is largely a pass-through to customers for which we realize minimal changes in profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on market fuel costs.

Total revenue increased 5% in the second quarter of 2014 to $1.18 billion . Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel) increased 6 % in the second quarter of 2014 to $907.9 million . For the first half of 2014 , total revenue increased 4% to $2.32 billion . Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel) increased 5% in the first half of 2014 to $1.77 billion .

Full service lease revenue increased 5% in the second quarter of 2014 and 4% in the first half of 2014 due to growth in the fleet size and higher prices on replacement vehicles. The average number of full service lease vehicles increased 2% from the prior year, reflecting continued increased sales activity. We expect favorable full service lease revenue comparisons to continue throughout the year based on current sales activity. Contract maintenance revenue increased 2% in the second quarter of 2014 due to new business resulting in 5% growth in customer vehicles under contract maintenance. However, in the first half of 2014 the new business was more than offset by a shift in the type of maintenance service provided, which resulted in a revenue decline of 2% . Commercial rental revenue increased 13% in the second quarter of 2014 and increased 11% in the first half of 2014 reflecting higher global pricing (up 5% in both the second quarter of 2014 and the first half of 2014 ) and increased North American demand. We expect favorable commercial rental comparisons to continue throughout the year.

FMS EBT increased 28% in the second quarter of 2014 to $113.5 million reflecting significantly higher used vehicle sales results and strong commercial rental performance as well as better full service lease results. Used vehicle sales results improved due to higher proceeds per unit. Commercial rental performance improved in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of higher pricing and increased North American demand. Rental power fleet utilization was 78.3% for the second quarter of 2014 , which was down 220 basis points from the prior year on a 10% larger average rental power fleet. The decline in utilization primarily reflects the impact of more out of service rental units caused by first quarter weather-related maintenance delays. Full service lease and rental results benefited from $6.3 million of lower depreciation due to residual value policy changes implemented January 1, 2014 . Full service lease results also improved from growth in fleet size.

FMS EBT increased 27% in the first half of 2014 to $190.5 million reflecting strong commercial rental performance, improved used vehicle sales results and higher full service lease margins. Commercial rental performance improved in the first half of 2014 as a result of higher pricing and increased North American demand. Rental power fleet utilization was 76.0% for the first half of 2014 , which was down 120 basis points from the prior year on a 7% larger average rental power fleet. Used vehicle sales results improved due to higher proceeds per unit. Results benefited from $12.5 million of lower depreciation due to residual value policy changes implemented January 1, 2014 . Full service lease results also improved from growth in fleet size.

Other NLE units	3,600	2,800	2,200	29	64
Total	12,100	13,500	13,900	(10)%	(13)%

NYE units represent new vehicles on hand that are being prepared for deployment to a lease customer or into the rental fleet. Preparations include activities such as adding lift gates, paint, decals, cargo area and refrigeration equipment. NYE units increased compared to June 30, 2013 due to new sales activity. NLE units represent vehicles held for sale and vehicles for which no revenue has been earned in the previous 30 days. Accordingly, these vehicles may be temporarily out of service, being prepared for sale or awaiting redeployment. NLE units decreased compared to June 30, 2013 reflecting lower used vehicle inventories partially offset by an increase in lease and rental vehicles awaiting outservicing. We expect NLE levels to decrease throughout the year as vehicles are outserviced.

————————————

(1) We use operating revenue and EBT as a percent of operating revenue, non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate the operating performance of our SCS business segment and as a measure of sales activity and profitability. In SCS transportation management arrangements, we may act as a principal or as an agent in purchasing transportation on behalf of our customer. We record revenue on a gross basis when acting as principal and we record revenue on a net basis when acting as an agent. As a result, total revenue may fluctuate depending on our role in subcontracted transportation arrangements yet our profitability remains unchanged as we typically realize minimal profitability from subcontracting transportation. We deduct subcontracted transportation expense from SCS total revenue to arrive at SCS operating revenue, and from dedicated services total revenue to arrive at dedicated services operating revenue.

(2) Dedicated services operating revenue excludes dedicated subcontracted transportation as follows: $37.1 million and $36.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively and $71.2 million and $70.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(3) Fuel costs are largely a pass-through to customers and therefore have a direct impact on revenue.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

The following table summarizes the components of the change in revenue on a percentage basis versus the prior year:

	Three months ended June 30, 2014 — Total	Operating	Six months ended June 30, 2014 — Total	Operating
Organic including price and volume	6%	7%	5%	7%
Foreign exchange	(1)	(1)	(1)	(1)
Total increase	5%	6%	4%	6%

Total revenue increased 5% in the second quarter of 2014 to $627.6 million . Operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation) increased 6% in the second quarter of 2014 to $ 545.4 million . For the first half of 2014 , total revenue increased 4% to $1.22 billion and operating revenue increased 6% to $1.07 billion . Operating revenue growth in both periods was due to new business and higher volumes primarily in the industrial, retail and CPG, and high-tech industry groups. We expect favorable revenue comparisons to continue throughout the year due to new business.

SCS EBT decreased 7% in the second quarter of 2014 to $30.7 million and decreased 9% in the first half of 2014 to $52.5 million due to greater than expected start-up costs on a new international distribution management account and, to a lesser extent, lost business (including shutdown costs) in the automotive sector. The decline was partially offset by other new business and improved dedicated performance. SCS EBT also decreased in the first half of 2014 due to downtime and other costs related to severe winter weather during the first quarter.

————————————

(1) Prior year amounts related to marketing have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Marketing costs were previously recorded as a direct expense of each business segment. We centralized the marketing function in the second half of 2013 and now record marketing costs within total CSS and allocate them to the segments. The change did not impact business segment EBT or unallocated CSS .

Total CSS costs increased 3% in the second quarter of 2014 to $58.1 million and increased 5% in the first half of 2014 to $116.8 million primarily driven by planned higher investments in information technology. CSS costs also increased in the first half of 2014 due to marketing-related costs. Unallocated CSS increased 15% in the second quarter of 2014 to $12.1 million and increased 5% in the first half of 2014 to $23.0 million primarily due to legal and financial consulting services and increased marketing-related costs. Increased unallocated CSS in the first half of 2014 were partially offset by lower spending on public affairs and benefits from the purchase of our headquarters facility.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Cash Flows

The following is a summary of our cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities from continuing operations:

	Six months ended June 30, — 2014		2013
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$ 536,500		563,777
Financing activities	429,953		124,940
Investing activities	(939,818	)	(687,604	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash	48		6,966
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$ 26,683		8,079

A detail of the individual items contributing to the cash flow changes is included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations decreased to $536.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with $563.8 million in 2013 , reflecting increased working capital needs, which were partially offset by higher earnings compared to the prior year period. The increased working capital needs were primarily driven by the timing of pension contributions compared to the prior year period. All pension contributions for the U.S. plan for 2014 have been made as of June 30, 2014 . Cash provided by financing activities increased to $430.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with $124.9 million in 2013 as a result of increased borrowing needs to fund investing activities. Cash used in investing activities increased to $939.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with $687.6 million in 2013 primarily due to planned higher vehicle capital spending.

We refer to the sum of operating cash flows, proceeds from the sales of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, collections on direct finance leases, sale and leaseback of revenue earning equipment, and other investing cash inflows from continuing operations as “total cash generated.” We refer to the net amount of cash generated from operating and investing activities (excluding changes in restricted cash and acquisitions) from continuing operations as “free cash flow.” Although total cash generated and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures, we consider them to be important measures of comparative operating performance. We also believe total cash generated to be an important measure of total cash flows generated from our ongoing business activities. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and for shareholders after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. Our calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

The following table shows the sources of our free cash flow computation:

	Six months ended June 30, — 2014		2013
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations	$ 536,500		563,777
Sales of revenue earning equipment	274,394		225,749
Sales of operating property and equipment	2,780		3,296
Collections on direct finance leases	32,355		39,854
Insurance recoveries and other	(1,250	)	8,173
Total cash generated	844,779		840,849
Purchases of property and revenue earning equipment	(1,255,222	)	(948,114	)
Free cash flow	$ (410,443	)	(107,265	)

Free cash flow decreased to negative $410.4 million in 2014 primarily due to planned higher spending on commercial rental and full service lease vehicles.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

The following table provides a summary of capital expenditures:

	Six months ended June 30, — 2014		2013
	(In thousands)
Revenue earning equipment:
Full service lease	$ 818,469		777,508
Commercial rental	343,536		171,210
	1,162,005		948,718
Operating property and equipment	94,737		39,785
Total capital expenditures (1)	1,256,742		988,503
Changes in accounts payable related to purchases of revenue earning equipment	(1,520	)	(40,389	)
Cash paid for purchases of property and revenue earning equipment	$ 1,255,222		948,114

————————————

(1) Capital expenditures exclude non-cash additions of approximately $2.4 million and $4.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively, in assets held under capital leases resulting from the extension of existing operating leases and other additions.

Capital expenditures (accrual basis) increased 27% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $1.26 billion reflecting planned higher investments in the commercial rental fleet. Capital expenditures also increased as a result of the purchase of our headquarter facility in the second quarter of 2014 . We now expect full-year 2014 accrual basis capital expenditures from continuing operations to be approximately $2.31 billion up $150 million from our prior forecast. The increase reflects anticipated increases in rental and lease vehicle purchases in the second half of the year to meet demand as well as a higher proportion of lease sales being fulfilled with new vehicles. We expect to primarily fund capital expenditures in the second half of 2014 with both internally generated funds and a sale leaseback transaction.

Financing and Other Funding Transactions

We utilize external capital primarily to support working capital needs and growth in our asset-based product lines. The variety of debt financing alternatives typically available to fund our capital needs include commercial paper, long-term and medium-term public and private debt, asset-backed securities, bank term loans, leasing arrangements and bank credit facilities. Our principal sources of financing are issuances of commercial paper and medium-term notes.

Our ability to access unsecured debt in the capital markets is impacted by both our short-term and long-term debt ratings. These ratings are intended to provide guidance to investors in determining the credit risk associated with particular Ryder securities based on current information obtained by the rating agencies from us or from other sources. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs as well as reduced access to unsecured capital markets. A significant downgrade of our short-term debt ratings would impair our ability to issue commercial paper and likely require us to rely on alternative funding sources. A significant downgrade would not affect our ability to borrow amounts under our revolving credit facility described below, assuming ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit facility.

Our debt ratings and rating outlooks at June 30, 2014 were as follows:

	Short-term — Rating	Outlook	Long-term — Rating	Outlook
Moody’s Investors Service	P2	Stable	Baa1	Stable
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services	A2	Stable	BBB	Positive (affirmed April 2014)
Fitch Ratings	F2	Stable	A-	Stable (affirmed April 2014)

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

Cash and equivalents totaled $86.9 million as of June 30, 2014 , which is available to meet our needs. As of June 30, 2014 , approximately $30.2 million was held outside the U.S. and is available to fund operations and other growth of non-U.S. subsidiaries. If we decide to repatriate cash and equivalents held outside the U.S., we may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. However, our intent is to permanently reinvest these foreign amounts outside the U.S. and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate these foreign amounts to fund our U.S. operations.

We believe that our operating cash flows, together with our access to commercial paper markets and other available debt financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that unanticipated volatility and disruption in commercial paper markets would not impair our ability to access these markets on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all. If we cease to have access to commercial paper and other sources of unsecured borrowings, we would meet our liquidity needs by drawing upon contractually committed lending agreements as described below and/or by seeking other funding sources.

At June 30, 2014 , we had the following amounts available to fund operations under the following facilities:

	(In millions)
Global revolving credit facility	$380
Trade receivables program	$175

We maintain a $900 million global revolving credit facility used to finance working capital that matures in October 2018. The global facility is used primarily to finance working capital. In order to maintain availability of funding, we must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated net worth of less than or equal to 300% . Net worth, as defined in the credit facility, represents shareholders' equity excluding any accumulated other comprehensive income or loss associated with our pension and other postretirement plans. The ratio at June 30, 2014 was 194% .

We also have a $175 million trade receivables purchase and sale program, pursuant to which we ultimately sell certain ownership interests in certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to a receivables conduit or committed purchasers. We use this program to provide additional liquidity to fund our operations, particularly when it is cost effective to do so. The program contains provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations or the collectibility of the collateralized receivables. If no event occurs which causes early termination, the 364-day program will expire on October 24, 2014.

On February 6, 2013, Ryder filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC. The registration is for an indeterminate number of securities and is effective for three years. Under this universal shelf registration statement, we have the capacity to offer and sell from time to time various types of securities, including common stock, preferred stock and debt securities, subject to market demand and ratings status.

Refer to Note (I), “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further discussion around the global revolving credit facility, the trade receivables program, the issuance of medium-term notes under this shelf registration statement and debt maturities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

The following table shows the movements in our debt balance:

	Six months ended June 30, — 2014		2013
	(In thousands)
Debt balance at January 1	$ 4,189,425		3,820,796
Cash-related changes in debt:
Net change in commercial paper borrowings	21,377		180,777
Proceeds from issuance of medium-term notes	748,676		249,723
Proceeds from issuance of other debt instruments	17,037		4,648
Retirement of medium term notes	(250,000	)	(250,000	)
Other debt repaid, including capital lease obligations	(21,248	)	(70,862	)
	515,842		114,286
Non-cash changes in debt:
Fair market value adjustment on notes subject to hedging	(316	)	(6,367	)
Addition of capital lease obligations	2,371		4,814
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other non-cash items	9,831		(19,122	)
Total changes in debt	527,728		93,611
Debt balance at June 30	$ 4,717,153		3,914,407

In accordance with our funding philosophy, we attempt to balance the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our debt with the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our assets. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to achieve this match and generally target a mix of 25% to 45% variable-rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. The variable-rate portion of our total obligations (including notional value of swap agreements) was 28% and 27% at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively.

Ryder’s leverage ratios and a reconciliation of on-balance sheet debt to total obligations were as follows:

	June 30, 2014	% to Equity	December 31, 2013	% to Equity
	(Dollars in thousands)
On-balance sheet debt	$ 4,717,153	240%	4,189,425	221%
Off-balance sheet debt—PV of minimum lease payments and guaranteed residual values under operating leases for vehicles (1)	87,700		94,519
Total obligations	$ 4,804,853	245%	4,283,944	226%

————————————

(1) Present value (PV) does not reflect payments Ryder would be required to make if we terminated the related leases prior to the scheduled expiration dates.

On-balance sheet debt to equity consists of balance sheet debt divided by total equity. Total obligations to equity represents balance sheet debt plus the present value of minimum lease payments and guaranteed residual values under operating leases for vehicles, discounted based on our incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, all divided by total equity. Although total obligations is a non-GAAP financial measure, we believe that total obligations is useful as it provides a more complete analysis of our existing financial obligations and helps better assess our overall leverage position. Our leverage ratios increased as of June 30, 2014 due to increased debt to fund planned capital expenditures.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We periodically enter into sale-leaseback transactions in order to lower the total cost of funding our operations, to diversify our funding among different classes of investors and to diversify our funding among different types of funding instruments. These sale-leaseback transactions are often executed with third-party financial institutions. In general, these sale-leaseback transactions result in a reduction in revenue earning equipment and debt on the balance sheet, as proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment are primarily used to repay debt. Accordingly, sale-leaseback transactions will result in reduced depreciation and interest expense and increased equipment rental expense. These leases contain limited guarantees by us of the residual values of the leased vehicles (residual value guarantees) that are generally conditioned upon disposal of the leased vehicles prior to the end of their lease term. The amount of future payments for residual value guarantees will depend on the market for used vehicles and the condition of the vehicles at time of disposal. We did not enter into any sale-leaseback transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or during 2013.

Pension Information

The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of certain market interest rates. We review pension assumptions regularly and we may from time to time make voluntary contributions to our pension plans, which exceed the amounts required by statute. In 2014 , we expect total contributions to our pension plans to be approximately $75 million . During the six months ended June 30, 2014 , we contributed $65.0 million to our pension plans. All pension contributions for the U.S. plan for 2014 have been made as of June 30, 2014 . Changes in interest rates and the market value of the securities held by the plans during 2014 could materially change, positively or negatively, the funded status of the plans and affect the level of pension expense and contributions in 2014 and beyond. See Note (N), “Employee Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

Share Repurchases and Cash Dividends

See Note (L), “Share Repurchase Programs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of share repurchases.

In May 2014, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per share of common stock. In July 2014, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.37 per share of common stock. This dividend reflects a $0.03 increase from the $0.34 quarterly cash dividend we have been paying since July of 2013.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note (B), “Accounting Changes," in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes information extracted from consolidated condensed financial information but not required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be presented in the financial statements. Certain of this information are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by SEC rules. Specifically, we refer to comparable earnings from continuing operations before taxes, comparable earnings from continuing operations, comparable EPS from continuing operations, operating revenue, FMS operating revenue, FMS EBT as a % of operating revenue, SCS operating revenue, SCS EBT as a % of operating revenue, dedicated services operating revenue, total cash generated, free cash flow, total obligations and total obligations to equity. We provide a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure and an explanation why management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors within the management's discussion and analysis and in the table below. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following table provides a reconciliation of total revenue to operating revenue which was not provided within the MD&A discussion:

	Three months ended June 30, — 2014		2013		Six months ended June 30, — 2014		2013
	(In thousands)
Total revenue	$ 1,684,571		1,603,999		$ 3,295,308		3,167,016

These statements, as well as other forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, are based on our current plans and expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We caution readers that certain important factors could cause actual results and events to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Market Conditions:

Changes in general economic and financial conditions in the U.S. and worldwide leading to decreased demand for our services, lower profit margins, increased levels of bad debt and reduced access to credit

Decreases in freight demand or setbacks in the recovery of the freight recession which would impact both our transactional and variable-based contractual business

Changes in our customers’ operations, financial condition or business environment that may limit their need for, or ability to purchase, our services

Decreases in market demand affecting the commercial rental market as well as economic conditions in the U.K.

Volatility in customer volumes and shifting customer demand in the industries serviced by our SCS business

Changes in current financial, tax or regulatory requirements that could negatively impact the leasing market

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

• Competition:

Advances in technology may require increased investments to remain competitive, and our customers may not be willing to accept higher prices to cover the cost of these investments

Competition from other service providers, some of which have greater capital resources or lower capital costs, or from our customers, who may choose to provide services themselves

Continued consolidation in the markets in which we operate which may create large competitors with greater financial resources

Our inability to maintain current pricing levels due to economic conditions, demand for services, customer acceptance or competition

• Profitability:

Our inability to obtain adequate profit margins for our services

Lower than expected sales volumes or customer retention levels

Lower full service lease sales activity

Loss of key customers in our SCS business segment

Our inability to adapt our product offerings to meet changing consumer preferences on a cost-effective basis

The inability of our legacy information technology systems to provide timely access to data

Sudden changes in fuel prices and fuel shortages

Higher prices for vehicles, diesel engines and fuel as a result of exhaust emissions standards enacted over the last few years

Higher than expected maintenance costs and lower than expected benefits associated with a younger fleet and maintenance initiatives

Our inability to successfully implement our asset management initiatives

Our key assumptions and pricing structure of our SCS contracts prove to be invalid

Increased unionizing, labor strikes and work stoppages

Difficulties in attracting and retaining drivers and technicians due to driver and technician shortages, which may result in higher costs to procure drivers and technicians and higher turnover rates affecting our customers

Our inability to manage our cost structure

Our inability to limit our exposure for customer claims

Unfavorable or unanticipated outcomes in legal proceedings or uncertain positions

Business interruptions or expenditures due to severe weather or natural occurrences

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

• Financing Concerns:

Higher borrowing costs and possible decreases in available funding sources caused by an adverse change in our debt ratings

Unanticipated interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations

Negative funding status of our pension plans caused by lower than expected returns on invested assets and unanticipated changes in interest rates

Withdrawal liability as a result of our participation in multi-employer plans

Instability in U.S. and worldwide credit markets, resulting in higher borrowing costs and/or reduced access to credit

• Accounting Matters:

Impact of unusual items resulting from ongoing evaluations of business strategies, asset valuations, acquisitions, divestitures and our organizational structure

Reductions in residual values or useful lives of revenue earning equipment

Increases in compensation levels, retirement rate and mortality resulting in higher pension expense; regulatory changes affecting pension estimates, accruals and expenses

Increases in health care costs resulting in higher insurance costs

Changes in accounting rules, assumptions and accruals

Impact of actual insurance claim and settlement activity compared to historical loss development factors used to project future development

• Other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC filings

New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risk factors on our business. As a result, no assurance can be given as to our future results or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We do not intend, or assume any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to Ryder’s exposures to market risks since December 31, 2013 . Please refer to the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete discussion of Ryder’s exposures to market risks.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the second quarter of 2014 , we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including Ryder’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Ryder’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the second quarter of 2014 , Ryder’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 , there were no changes in Ryder’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The following table provides information with respect to purchases we made of our common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2014 :

	Total Number of Shares Purchased (1)	Average Price Paid per Share	Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Programs	Maximum Number of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Anti-Dilutive Program (2)
April 1 through April 30, 2014	151,530	$ 82.61	150,000	1,287,317
May 1 through May 31, 2014	157,443	83.11	157,392	1,129,925
June 1 through June 30, 2014	157,223	86.43	156,997	972,928
Total	466,196	$ 84.07	464,389

————————————

(1) During the three months ended June 30, 2014 , we purchased an aggregate of 1,807 shares of our common stock in employee-related transactions. Employee-related transactions may include: (i) shares of common stock delivered as payment for the exercise price of options exercised or to satisfy the option holders’ tax withholding liability associated with our share-based compensation programs and (ii) open-market purchases by the trustee of Ryder’s deferred compensation plans relating to investments by employees in our stock, one of the investment options available under the plans.

(2) In December 2013, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our various employee stock, stock option and employee stock purchase plans. Under the December 2013 program, management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued to employees under the Company’s various employee stock, stock option and employee stock purchase plans from December 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015. The December 2013 program limits aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. Share repurchases of common stock are made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management may establish prearranged written plans for the Company under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the December 2013 program, which allow for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 , we repurchased and retired 464,389 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of $39.1 million .
