NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(A) GENERAL

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 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and items referenced under the "Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements") 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.

During the first quarter of 2015, our management structure changed within the supply chain business. We created the role of President of Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) for the dedicated product offering which was previously within Supply Chain Solutions (SCS). We are now reporting our financial performance as follows: (1) Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides full service leasing, commercial rental, contract maintenance, and contract-related maintenance of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) DTS, which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S.; and (3) SCS, which provides comprehensive supply chain solutions including distribution and transportation services in North America and Asia. Dedicated services provided as part of an integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution are reported in the SCS business segment. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to the new presentation. This change impacted Note (F), "Goodwill," and Note (Q), "Segment Reporting," with no impact on consolidated revenues, net income or cash flows.

Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

The Company periodically enters into sale and leaseback transactions to lower the total cost of funding our operations, to diversify funding among different classes of investors and among different types of funding instruments. Historically, these sale-leaseback transactions resulted in a reduction of revenue earning equipment and debt on the balance sheet, as proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment were primarily used to repay debt. The related leasebacks were historically treated as off-balance sheet operating leases and were included in our reported total obligations leverage ratios.

In April of 2015, we completed a financing transaction of revenue earning equipment with third parties not deemed to be variable interest entities. The revenue earning equipment subject to this transaction was originally owned and titled in a titling trust which is a wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary of Ryder. As part of the sale-leaseback transaction, the titling trust created special units of beneficial interests (SUBIs) for the specific revenue earning equipment. The SUBIs were then sold to third parties and leased back to Ryder. In conjunction with this transaction, we reviewed and evaluated the structure to determine whether it qualified for off-balance sheet treatment. We concluded the April 2015 transaction should be treated as an issuance of financial interests that does not qualify for deconsolidation. As a result, off-balance sheet treatment is not appropriate for the current, as well as similar prior year transactions.

We have evaluated the materiality of this revision, quantitatively and qualitatively, and concluded it was not material to any of our previously issued consolidated financial statements and correction as an out of period adjustment in the quarter ended June 30, 2015 would not be material. However, we have elected to revise previously issued financial statements to avoid inconsistencies in our financial statements. Adjustments may not be additive and may have minor differences within the tables due to rounding.

(B) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Inventory Valuation

On July 22, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory , which applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out. The update becomes effective January 1, 2017 and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We are in the process of determining the effect of the standard on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance. The update was originally effective January 1, 2017. On July 9, 2015, the FASB issued a deferral of the update for one year, making the update effective January 1, 2018. Early application is permitted but not before January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the modified retrospective or cumulative effect transition methods. We have not yet selected a transition method. We are in the process of determining the effect of the standard on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which requires an entity to present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability on the balance sheet. The update requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. The update becomes effective January 1, 2016. Based on the balances as of June 30, 2015 , the adoption of this ASU will require us to reclassify $19.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs from "Direct financing leases and other assets" to "Long-term debt."

(C) 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 but 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 grant date 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, — 2015 2014 Six months ended June 30, — 2015 2014
(In thousands)
Stock option and stock purchase plans $ 1,956 2,241 $ 4,257 4,478

(1) Revenue earning equipment, net includes vehicles acquired under capital leases of $48.0 million , less accumulated depreciation of $20.3 million , at June 30, 2015 , and $47.8 million , less accumulated depreciation of $22.5 million , at December 31, 2014 . Additionally, revenue earning equipment, net underlying asset-backed U.S. obligations was $346.1 million at June 30, 2015 ( $403.3 million cost, less $57.1 million of accumulated depreciation) and $207.4 million at December 31, 2014 ( $247.8 million cost, less $40.3 million of accumulated depreciation). See Note (A), General, Revision of Prior Period Financial Information for further information related to our evaluation of accounting for these transactions.

At the end of 2014, 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, 2015. The change in estimated residual values and useful lives increased pre-tax earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 by approximately $10.0 million and $20.0 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the net investment in direct financing and sales-type leases was $432.8 million and $417.0 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , 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 $0.3 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 .

We assess goodwill for impairment on April 1st of each year or more often if deemed necessary. In the second quarter of 2015, we completed our annual goodwill impairment test. We performed quantitative tests on four of our reporting units and determined there was no impairment. We performed a qualitative test for one reporting unit, 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 value is greater than the carrying value and determined there was no impairment.

(1) We had unamortized original issue discounts of $8.1 million and $7.9 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively.

(2) Asset-backed U.S. obligations of $362.1 million at June 30, 2015 and $218.1 million at December 31, 2014 are related to financing transactions involving revenue earning equipment. See Note (A), General, Revision of Prior Period Financial Information for further information related to our evaluation of accounting for these transactions.

(3) The notional amount of executed interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $600 million at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 .

We maintain a $1.2 billion 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, Lloyds Bank Plc, U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The facility matures in January 2020. The agreement provides for annual facility fees which range from 7.5 basis points to 25 basis points based on Ryder's long-term credit ratings. The annual facility fee is currently 10 basis points , which applies to the total facility size of $1.2 billion . The credit 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, 2015 ). At our option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on LIBOR, prime, federal funds or local equivalent rates. 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, 2015 was 209% . At June 30, 2015 , there was $847.6 million available under the credit facility, net of outstanding commercial paper borrowings.

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. In addition, we have the intent and ability to refinance the current portion of long-term debt on a long-term basis. At June 30, 2015 , we classified $311.4 million of short-term commercial paper and $338.4 million of the current portion of long-term debt as long-term debt. At December 31, 2014 , we classified $276.7 million of short-term commercial paper, $60.0 million of trade receivables borrowings and $698.5 million of the current portion of long-term debt as long-term debt.

In May 2015, we issued $300 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in May 2020. The proceeds from the notes were used to reduce commercial paper borrowings 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.

In April of 2015, we completed a financing transaction backed by a portion of our revenue earning equipment that resulted in $156.4 million of cash proceeds. The proceeds from this transaction were used to fund capital expenditures. We have provided end of term guarantees for the residual value of the revenue earning equipment in this transaction. The transaction along with the end of term residual value guarantees have been included in the "asset-backed U.S. obligations" line within the preceding table.

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 during October 2015. 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. No amounts were outstanding under the program at June 30, 2015 . At December 31, 2014 , $60.0 million was outstanding under the program. Sales of receivables under this program are accounted for as secured borrowings based on our continuing involvement in the transferred assets.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , we had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding totaling $333.9 million and $334.3 million , respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.

(I) 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, 2015 are not material to our consolidated financial position and operations and have not changed significantly from the amounts reported as of December 31, 2014 .

The following tables present our assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and considered a Level 3 fair value measurement:

————————————

(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. Gains are recognized at the time of sale for vehicles with carrying amounts lower than fair value. 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 and asset-backed U.S. obligations) at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was approximately $4.91 billion and $4.59 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.

(J) 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. 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 fair value amounts of the interest rate swaps are reported in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets within "Prepaid expenses and other current assets," "Direct financing leases and other assets," and "Other non-current liabilities." As of June 30, 2015 , these amounts are not material to our consolidated financial position and operations and have not changed significantly from the amounts reported at December 31, 2014 .

The following table provides a detail of the swaps outstanding and the related hedged items as of June 30, 2015 :

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 2015 2014
(Dollars in thousands)
May 2011 June 2017 $350,000 $150,000 3.50% 1.49% 1.42%
November 2013 November 2018 $300,000 $100,000 2.45% 1.23% 1.18%
February 2014 June 2019 $350,000 $100,000 2.55% 1.15% 1.10%
May 2014 September 2019 $400,000 $100,000 2.45% 0.90% 0.85%
February 2015 March 2020 $400,000 $150,000 2.65% 1.14%

The amount of gains (losses) on interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges and related hedged items are reported in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings within "Interest expense." 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.

(K) 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 10, 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. Early in the first quarter of 2015, due to the increase in leverage, we temporarily paused anti-dilutive share repurchase activity. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , we repurchased and retired 69,107 shares and 1,027,072 shares, respectively, under the program at an aggregate cost of $6.1 million and $79.5 million , respectively.

(1) These amounts are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost. See Note (M), "Employee Benefit Plans," for further information.

The loss from currency translation adjustments in the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $30.3 million was due primarily to the weakening of the Canadian Dollar and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar. The gain from currency translation adjustments in the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $11.7 million was due to the strengthening of the Canadian Dollar and British Pound compared to the U.S. Dollar.

(N) 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , we incurred charges of $1.9 million and $3.8 million , respectively, related to professional fees associated with cost savings initiatives. These charges were recorded within "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

(Q) SEGMENT REPORTING

Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. During the first quarter of 2015, our management structure changed within the supply chain business. We created the role of President of DTS for the dedicated product offering which previously was within SCS. We are now reporting our financial performance as follows: (1) FMS, which provides full service leasing, commercial rental, contract maintenance, and contract-related maintenance of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) DTS, which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S; and (3) SCS, which provides comprehensive supply chain solutions including distribution and transportation services in North America and Asia. Dedicated services provided as part of an integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution are reported in the SCS business segment.

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 other items discussed in Note (N), "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 DTS and SCS segments. 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 the business segment which served the customer and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations”).

(R) 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.

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. Other than with respect to the matters discussed below, 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 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 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.

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 2014 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. During the first quarter of 2015, our management structure changed within the supply chain business. We created the role of President of Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) for the dedicated product offering which was previously within Supply Chain Solutions (SCS). Beginning with the current year, we are reporting our financial performance based on three business segments: (1) Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides full service leasing, commercial rental, contract maintenance, and contract-related maintenance of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) DTS, which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S.; and (3) SCS, which provides comprehensive supply chain solutions including distribution and transportation services in North America and Asia. Dedicated services provided as part of an integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution are reported in the SCS business segment.

The Company periodically enters into sale and leaseback transactions to lower the total cost of funding our operations, to diversify funding among different classes of investors and among different types of funding instruments. The related leasebacks were historically treated as off-balance sheet operating leases and were included in our reported total obligations leverage ratios. In conjunction with a transaction in April of 2015, we reviewed and evaluated the structure of the leasebacks and determined that they did not qualify for deconsolidation. As a result, off-balance sheet treatment is not appropriate for the current, as well as prior years’ transactions. The prior year amounts have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. The revision was not material. Refer to Note (A), "General," in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of the revision to our historical financial statements.

Beginning this year, we revised the reporting of operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure. In addition to excluding FMS fuel services revenue and subcontracted transportation from the calculation of operating revenue, we also now exclude DTS and SCS fuel costs. Prior year amounts have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. The revisions were not material and did not impact segment earnings.

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, technology and healthcare, retail, housing, business and personal services, and paper and publishing.

————————————

(1) We use operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of our core businesses and as a measure of sales activity. FMS fuel services revenue and DTS and SCS fuel are ancillary services that we provide our customers and are impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices. Therefore, these items are excluded from operating revenue as the costs are largely a pass-through to our customers, resulting in minimal changes in our 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 trailing market fuel costs. We also exclude subcontracted transportation from the calculation of operating revenue as this service is also typically a pass-through to our customers and therefore fluctuations result in minimal changes to our profitability. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of total revenue to operating revenue.

(2) Non-GAAP financial measure. We believe comparable EBT, comparable earnings and comparable earnings per diluted common share, all from continuing operations, 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 that are unrelated to our ongoing business operations. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of EBT, net earnings and earnings per diluted common share to the comparable measures.

Total revenue decreased 1% to $1.66 billion and operating revenue increased 6% to $1.39 billion in the second quarter of 2015. For the first half of 2015, total revenue decreased 2% to $3.23 billion and operating revenue increased 5% to $2.69 billion . Total revenue declined due to lower fuel prices largely passed through to customers and the negative impact from foreign exchange partially offset by higher operating revenue. The increase in operating revenue was driven by growth in all business segments partially offset by a 200 basis point negative impact from foreign exchange in both the second quarter and first half of 2015. FMS operating revenue growth was due to a larger full service lease fleet, higher prices on lease replacement vehicles, increased North American rental demand and higher rental pricing. DTS and SCS operating revenue growth was due to new business and increased volumes. EBT increased 11% in the second quarter of 2015 to $133.4 million . For the first half of 2015, EBT increased 12% to $217.6 million . EBT increased from a strong performance in SCS and higher full service lease and commercial rental performance in FMS. The strong performance in the second quarter and first half of 2015 was partially offset by a 200 basis point negative impact of foreign exchange in both periods.

Gross margin % 32 % 31 % 30 % 30 %

Lease and rental revenues represent full service lease and commercial rental product offerings within our FMS business segment. Revenues increased 6% in the second quarter and first half of 2015 primarily driven by higher prices on full service lease vehicles, a larger average full service lease fleet ( 4% in the second quarter and 3% in the first half of 2015 ), and increased commercial rental revenue. Foreign exchange negatively impacted revenue growth by 200 basis points. Commercial rental revenue grew due to increased North American demand and higher rental pricing (up 4% in both the second quarter and first half of 2015 ).

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 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 5% both in the second quarter and the first half of 2015 due to higher depreciation, insurance and maintenance costs from a larger average lease fleet and a larger average rental fleet ( 7% in the second quarter and 6% in the first half of 2015 ). Cost of lease and rental benefited by $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2015 and by $20.0 million in the first half of 2015 due to changes in estimated residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment effective January 1, 2015 . Foreign exchange lowered the growth in cost of lease and rental by 200 basis points.

Lease and rental gross margin increased 10% in the second quarter of 2015 to $247.7 million and increased 8% to $458.3 million in the first half of 2015. Lease and rental gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 32% in the second quarter of 2015 and remained at 30% in the first half of 2015. The increase in margin dollars and as a percentage of revenue was due to higher per-vehicle pricing as well as benefits from improved residual values.

Services revenue represents all the revenues associated with our DTS and SCS business segments as well as contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and fleet support services associated with our FMS business segment. Services revenue decreased 1% in the second quarter and first half of 2015 due to impacts from lower fuel prices passed through to our DTS and SCS customers and foreign exchange partially offset by new business and higher volumes in our DTS and SCS business segments. Foreign exchange negatively impacted revenue growth by 200 basis points.

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

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

Cost of services represents the direct costs related to services revenue and is primarily comprised of salaries and employee-related costs, subcontracted transportation (purchased transportation from third parties) and maintenance costs. Cost of services decreased 3% in the second quarter of 2015 and 4% in the first half of 2015 due to lower revenue as well as lower start-up and shutdown costs in our SCS business partially offset by higher compensation-related costs and increased insurance costs. The decrease in cost of services in the first half of 2015 also reflects prior year severe winter weather-related costs. Foreign exchange lowered the growth in cost of services by 200 basis points.

Services gross margin increased 15% to $133.7 million in the second quarter of 2015 and increased 12% to $245.1 million in the first half of 2015. Services gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 18% in the second quarter of 2015 and increased to 17% in the first half of 2015. The increase in gross margin dollars and as a percentage of revenue reflects improved operating performance in our SCS business segment. Prior year SCS gross margin was negatively impacted by greater than expected start-up and shutdown costs and severe winter weather during the first quarter.

Gross margin 4,539 5,768 12,675 9,919 (21)% 28%
Gross margin % 3 % 3 % 4 % 2 %

Fuel services revenue represents fuel services provided to our FMS customers. Fuel services revenue decreased 30% in the second quarter of 2015 and 31% in the first half of 2015 due to lower fuel prices passed through to customers.

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 services decreased 30% in the second quarter of 2015 and 32% in the first half of 2015 caused by lower fuel prices.

Fuel services gross margin decreased 21% to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2015 and increased 28% to $12.7 million in the first half of 2015. Fuel services margin as a percentage of revenue remained at 3% in the second quarter of 2015 and increased to 4% in the first half of 2015. 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 was favorably impacted by rapid decreases in market fuel prices during the first quarter of 2015 .

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 including write-downs of used vehicles to fair market value. Other operating expenses increased 6% to $32.8 million in the second quarter of 2015 largely due to a $0.7 million increase in write-downs on vehicles held for sale. Other operating expenses remained at $67.6 million in the first half of 2015.

Percentage of operating revenue 15 % 15 % 16 % 15 %

SG&A expenses increased 7% in both the second quarter and first half of 2015 . The increase in SG&A expenses was driven by strategic investments in marketing and information technology, higher compensation-related expenses, including pension, and higher professional fees partially offset by foreign exchange. Foreign exchange reduced the growth in SG&A expenses by 200 basis points. Pension expense, which primarily impacts SG&A expenses, increased $4.0 million in the second quarter and $6.4 million in the first half of 2015 due to a lower asset return assumption and the year-end adoption of new mortality assumptions that reflected improved trends in longevity. SG&A expenses as a percent of total revenue increased to 13% and as a percentage of operating revenue remained at 15% during the second quarter of 2015. SG&A expenses as a percent of total revenue and as a percent of operating revenue increased to 13% and 16% , respectively, in the first half of 2015. The increase as a percent of total revenue was a result of the decline in total revenue from fuel prices and foreign exchange. The increase as a percent of operating revenue was a result of the negative impact of foreign exchange on operating revenue.

Gains on vehicle sales, net decreased 3% in the second quarter of 2015 to $33.2 million and decreased 1% in the first half of 2015 to $62.8 million due to lower sales volume partially offset by higher average proceeds per unit. Lower sales volume in 2015 (down 14% in the second quarter of 2015 and down 19% in the first half of 2015 ) reflects lower average used vehicle inventories. Global average proceeds per unit increased 13% in the second quarter of 2015 and 15% in the first half of 2015 reflecting increases in average truck, tractor and trailer proceeds per unit.

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 other items discussed in Note (N), "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 FMS, DTS and SCS and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations” in the table above). Prior year amounts have been revised 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. FMS fuel services revenue is an ancillary service that we provide our customers and is impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices. Therefore, this item is excluded from operating revenue as the costs are largely a pass-through to our customers, resulting in minimal changes in our 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.

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

Organic including price and volume 6% 8% 5% 7%
Fuel (7) (7)
Foreign exchange (2) (2) (1) (2)
Total (decrease)/increase (3)% 6% (3)% 5%

Total revenue decreased 3% in the second quarter and first half of 2015 due to a decline in fuel services revenue from lower fuel prices passed through to customers. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel) increased 6 % in the second quarter and 5 % in the first half of 2015 as a result of organic growth primarily in the full service lease and commercial rental product lines. Foreign exchange negatively impacted both total and operating revenue growth in the second quarter of 2015 by 200 basis point s. In the first half of 2015 , foreign exchange negatively impacted total and operating revenue growth by 100 basis point s and 200 basis point s, respectively.

Full service lease revenue increased 5% in both the second quarter and the first half of 2015 due to growth in the fleet size and higher prices on replacement vehicles. Foreign exchange negatively impacted full service lease revenue growth by 200 basis points in both the second quarter and the first half of 2015 . The average number of full service lease vehicles increased 4% from the prior year, reflecting continued strong sales activity. We expect favorable full service lease revenue comparisons to continue through the end of the year based on strong sales activity. Commercial rental revenue increased 8% in both the second quarter and the first half of 2015 reflecting higher North American demand and pricing (up 4% in the second quarter of 2015 and 4% in the first half of 2015 ). Foreign exchange negatively impacted commercial rental revenue growth by 200 basis points in both the second quarter and the first half of 2015 . We expect favorable commercial rental comparisons to continue throughout the year. Contract-related maintenance revenue decreased 3% in the first half of 2015 due to lower volumes during the first quarter.

The following table provides commercial rental statistics on our global fleet:

FMS EBT increased 8% in the second quarter of 2015 to $122.5 million reflecting higher full service lease results and strong commercial rental performance, partially offset by higher spending on strategic investments primarily in sales and marketing and technology, in order to accelerate growth. Commercial rental performance improved in the second quarter of 2015 as a result of increased North American demand and higher pricing. Results benefited from $10.0 million of lower depreciation in the second quarter of 2015 due to residual value policy changes implemented January 1, 2015 as well as growth in average lease and rental fleet size.

FMS EBT increased 11% in the first half of 2015 to $212.2 million reflecting strong commercial rental performance and higher full service lease results. Commercial rental performance improved in the first half of 2015 to $164.4 million due to higher North American demand and pricing. Results benefited from $20.0 million of lower depreciation due to residual value policy changes implemented January 1, 2015. Full service lease results also improved from growth in lease fleet size.

Other NLE units 3,500 3,000 3,600 17 (3)
Total 12,700 10,800 12,100 18% 5%

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 50% compared to June 30, 2014 , due to new lease 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, 2014 reflecting lower used vehicle inventories. We expect NLE levels to remain at current levels through the end of the year.

(1) We use operating revenue and EBT as a percent of operating revenue, non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate the operating performance of our DTS business segment and as a measure of sales activity. Fuel costs and subcontracted transportation are excluded from the calculation of DTS operating revenue. DTS fuel is an ancillary service we provide our customers and is impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices. Therefore, this item is excluded from operating revenue as the costs are largely a pass-through to our customers, resulting in minimal changes in our 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 trailing market fuel costs. We also exclude subcontracted transportation from the calculation of DTS operating revenue as this service is also typically a pass-through to our customers and therefore fluctuations result in minimal changes to our profitability.

(2) Includes intercompany fuel sales from FMS to DTS.

In the second quarter of 2015 , total revenue decreased 4% as increased operating revenue was more than offset by declining fuel prices. Operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation and fuel costs) increased 6% to $176.8 million due to new business as well as higher volumes. We expect favorable operating revenue comparisons to continue through the end of the year. DTS EBT decreased 4% in the second quarter of 2015 due to unfavorable self-insurance developments, which negatively impacted EBT as a percentage of operating revenue by 140 basis points partially offset by higher revenue.

In the first half of 2015 , total revenue decreased 3% primarily reflecting lower fuel and subcontracted transportation costs passed through to customers. Operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation and fuel costs) increased 6% due to new business and higher volumes. We expect favorable operating revenue comparisons to continue through the end of the year. DTS EBT decreased 1% in the first half of 2015 due to unfavorable self-insurance developments, which negatively impacted EBT as a percentage of operating revenue by 140 basis points partially offset by higher revenue.

Subcontracted transportation (1)
Fuel costs (2) (2)
Foreign exchange (3) (3) (3) (3)
Total (decrease)/increase 1% 6% (1)% 5%

In the second quarter of 2015 , total revenue increased 1% and operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation and fuel costs) increased 6% . For the first half of 2015, total revenue decreased 1% and operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation and fuel costs) increased 5% . Total revenue growth in second quarter of 2015 and operating revenue growth in both the second quarter and first half of 2015 was due to higher volumes and new business primarily in the CPG/retail and technology/healthcare industry groups, partially offset by a negative impact from lower fuel costs passed through to customers and foreign exchange. The slight decline in total revenue in the first half of 2015 primarily reflects negative impacts from foreign exchange and lower fuel costs passed through to customers. We expect operating revenue comparisons to remain favorable through the end of the year, however at a lower growth rate.

SCS EBT increased 56% in the second quarter of 2015 to $27.7 million and increased 41% in the first half of 2015 to $43.4 million due to increased pricing, start-up costs that returned to a normalized level and higher volumes. The increase in the second quarter and first half of 2015 was partially offset by higher compensation-related expenses, foreign exchange and favorable insurance developments in the prior year. Favorable comparisons to the prior year for the first half of 2015 also reflect negative impacts from severe winter weather-related costs during the first quarter of 2014.

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, — 2015 2014
(In thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ 658,698 542,888
Financing activities 445,520 423,565
Investing activities (1,078,663 ) (939,818 )
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash (1,198 ) 48
Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ 24,357 26,683

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 increased to $658.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with $542.9 million in 2014 , reflecting higher earnings and lower working capital needs primarily driven by lower pension contributions. Cash provided by financing activities increased to $445.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with $423.6 million in 2014 due to increased borrowing needs to fund investing activities. Cash used in investing activities increased to $1.08 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared with $939.8 million in 2014 primarily due to higher net capital spending.

Our principal sources of operating liquidity are cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment. We refer to the sum of operating cash flows, proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, collections on direct finance leases 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:

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

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

Our GAAP and non-GAAP cash flow metrics were revised due to the change in the treatment of sale-leasebacks. As a result, free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to negative $424.8 million. In addition, our forecast of full-year free cash flow is now projected to be approximately negative $600 million, as compared to a prior forecast of negative $380 million. Our negative free cash flow forecast reflects investments in the full service lease and commercial rental fleets. We expect negative cash flow in periods of significant fleet replacement or fleet growth. Refer to Note (A), “General,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion on the change in treatment of sale-leaseback transactions.

The following table provides a summary of capital expenditures:

Six months ended June 30, — 2015 2014
(In thousands)
Revenue earning equipment:
Full service lease $ 947,280 818,469
Commercial rental 452,928 343,536
1,400,208 1,162,005
Operating property and equipment 53,776 94,737
Total capital expenditures (1) 1,453,984 1,256,742
Changes in accounts payable related to purchases of revenue earning equipment (124,766 ) (1,520 )
Cash paid for purchases of property and revenue earning equipment $ 1,329,218 1,255,222

————————————

(1) Capital expenditures exclude non-cash additions of approximately $5.8 million and $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, in assets held under capital leases resulting from the extension of existing operating leases and other additions.

Capital expenditures (accrual basis) increased 16% in the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $1.5 billion reflecting planned higher investments in the full service lease and commercial rental fleets. We continue to expect full-year 2015 accrual basis capital expenditures from continuing operations to be $2.63 billion . We expect to fund 2015 capital expenditures primarily with internally generated funds and additional debt financing.

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, 2015 were as follows:

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

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

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

Cash and equivalents totaled $73.4 million as of June 30, 2015 , which is available to meet our needs. As of June 30, 2015 , approximately $34.2 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, 2015 , we had the following amounts available to fund operations under the following facilities:

(In millions)
Global revolving credit facility $848
Trade receivables program $175

We maintain a global revolving credit facility used to finance working capital. The availability under our global revolving credit facility is $1.2 billion and the facility matures in January 2020 . The credit 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, 2015 was 209% .

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 in October 2015.

In May 2015 , we issued $300 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in May 2020. 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.

In April 2015, we completed a financing transaction backed by a portion of our revenue earning equipment that resulted in $156.4 million of cash proceeds. The proceeds from this transaction were used to fund capital expenditures.

In February 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 (H), “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, asset-backed financing obligations, and debt maturities.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other non-cash items (15 ) 9,831
Total changes in debt 486,406 521,340
Debt balance at June 30 $ 5,217,025 4,816,519

In accordance with our funding philosophy, we attempt to match 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 23% and 25% at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively.

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

June 30, 2015 % to Equity December 31, 2014 % to Equity
(Dollars in thousands)
On-balance sheet debt 5,217,025 273% $4,730,619 260%
Off-balance sheet debt—PV of minimum lease payments under operating leases for vehicles (1) 1,335 2,085
Total obligations (2) $5,218,360 273% $4,732,704 260%

————————————

(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.

(2) Non-GAAP financial measure

The on-balance sheet debt to equity ratio 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 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, 2015 due to increased debt to fund planned capital expenditures and the impact of foreign exchange rates.

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 2015 , we expect total contributions to our pension plans to be approximately $ 36 million . During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we contributed $7.9 million to our pension plans. Changes in interest rates and the market value of the securities held by the plans during 2015 could materially change, positively or negatively, the funded status of the plans and affect the level of pension expense and contributions in 2015 and beyond. See Note (M), “Employee Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

Share Repurchases and Cash Dividends

Early in the first quarter of 2015, due to the increase in leverage, we temporarily paused anti-dilutive share repurchase activity for the first half of 2015. We are evaluating the timing for resuming anti-dilutive share repurchase activity later this year. See Note (K), “Share Repurchase Programs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of share repurchases.

In May 2015 , our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.37 per share of common stock. In July 2015 , our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.41 per share of common stock. This dividend reflects a $0.04 increase from the $0.37 quarterly cash dividend we have been paying since July of 2014.

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 earnings per diluted common share, operating revenue, FMS operating revenue, FMS EBT as a % of operating revenue, DTS operating revenue, DTS EBT as a % of operating revenue, SCS operating revenue, SCS EBT as a % of 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 GAAP earnings before taxes (EBT), earnings, and earnings per diluted shares (EPS) from continuing operations to comparable EBT, earnings and EPS from continuing operations, which was not provided within the MD&A discussion:

EBT, earnings and EPS from continuing operations in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 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 — 2015 2014 Earnings — 2015 2014 Diluted EPS — 2015 2014

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

(3) In the second quarter of 2015, the states of Connecticut and Texas and the city of New York enacted changes to their tax system, which decreased the provision for income taxes by $1.9 million . 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 .

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

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

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:

Ÿ 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

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

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

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

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

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

• Competition:

Ÿ 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

Ÿ 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

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

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

47

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

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

• Profitability:

Ÿ Lower than expected sales volumes or customer retention levels

Ÿ Lower full service lease sales activity

Ÿ Loss of key customers in our DTS and SCS business segments

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

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

Ÿ Sudden changes in fuel prices and fuel shortages

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

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

Ÿ Our inability to successfully implement our asset management initiatives

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

Ÿ Increased unionizing, labor strikes and work stoppages

Ÿ 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

Ÿ Our inability to manage our cost structure

Ÿ Our inability to limit our exposure for customer claims

Ÿ Unfavorable or unanticipated outcomes in legal proceedings or uncertain positions

Ÿ Business interruptions or expenditures due to severe weather or natural occurrences

48

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

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

• Financing Concerns:

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

Ÿ Unanticipated interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations

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

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

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

• Accounting Matters:

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

Ÿ Reductions in residual values or useful lives of revenue earning equipment

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

Ÿ Increases in health care costs resulting in higher insurance costs

Ÿ Changes in accounting rules, assumptions and accruals

Ÿ 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, 2014 . Please refer to the 2014 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 2015 , 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 2015 , 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, 2015 , 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, 2015 :

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)

————————————

(1) During the three months ended June 30, 2015 , we purchased an aggregate of 340 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, 2015 , we did not repurchase any shares under this program.
