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 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation 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.

Beginning in 2016, we reclassified the losses from fair value adjustments on our used vehicles from "Other operating expenses" to "Gains on used vehicles, net" within the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Share-Based Payments

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The guidance will be effective January 1, 2017. We are in the process of evaluating the impacts of the adoption of this standard.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The standard is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective transition method. We are in the process of determining the effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which together with related, subsequently issued guidance, 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 is effective January 1, 2018, and will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance. The standard permits the use of either the modified retrospective or cumulative effect transition methods.

In connection with the FASB’s recently issued guidance on leases, the standard requires the lease component of our full service lease product line to be accounted for under the lease accounting guidance and the maintenance and other elements of the product line to be accounted for under the new revenue guidance. Because of the interrelationship of these standards on our full service lease product line, we have not yet selected a transition method. We are in the process of determining the effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

In April 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 reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability on the balance sheet. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016 and reclassified $15 million from other assets to long-term debt in our December 31, 2015 balance sheet. Other than the change in presentation within the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, this accounting guidance did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

————————————

(1) Revenue earning equipment, net includes vehicles acquired under capital leases of $43.9 million , less accumulated depreciation of $21.1 million , at June 30, 2016 , and $47.5 million , less accumulated depreciation of $22.2 million , at December 31, 2015 .

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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the net investment in direct financing and sales-type leases was $431 million and $438 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 prior to signing 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 which further mitigates our credit risk.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , 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.

Revenue earning equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses on vehicles held for sale for which carrying values exceeded fair value are recognized at the time they arrive at our used truck centers and are presented within “Gains on used vehicles, net ” 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. For a certain population of our revenue earning equipment held for sale, 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. These vehicles held for sale were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

We assess goodwill for impairment on April 1st of each year or more often if deemed necessary. In the second quarter of 2016 , we completed our annual goodwill impairment test. We performed quantitative assessments on two of our reporting units and determined there was no impairment. We performed qualitative assessments for three 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 assessments, we concluded it was more likely than not that fair value is greater than the carrying value and determined there was no impairment.

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, 2016 ). 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, 2016 was 214% . At June 30, 2016 , there was $424.7 million available under the credit facility.

Our global revolving credit facility enables us to refinance short-term obligations on a long-term basis. 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 certain long-term debt on a long-term basis. At June 30, 2016 , we classified $599.6 million of short-term commercial paper and $351.9 million of current debt obligations as long-term. At December 31, 2015 , we classified $547.1 million of short-term commercial paper and $300.0 million of current debt obligations as long-term.

In February 2016, we issued $300 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in November 2021. The proceeds from these notes were used to pay off maturing debt and for general corporate purposes. If these notes are downgraded below investment grade following, and as a result of, a change in control, the note holders 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 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 which causes early termination, the 364 -day program will expire on October 21, 2016. 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. Sales of receivables under this program are accounted for as secured borrowings based on our continuing involvement in the transferred assets. No amounts were outstanding under the program at June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015 .

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , we had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding totaling $339.1 million and $345.7 million , respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.

The fair value of total debt (excluding capital lease and asset-backed U.S. obligations) at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was approximately $5.31 billion and $5.06 billion , respectively. For publicly-traded debt, estimates of fair value were based on market prices. 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. The fair value measurements of our publicly-traded debt and other debt were 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.

DERIVATIVES

From time to time, we enter into interest rate derivatives to manage our fixed and variable interest rate exposure and to better match the repricing of debt instruments to that of our portfolio of assets. We assess the risk that changes in interest rates will have either on the fair value of debt obligations or on the amount of future interest payments by monitoring changes in interest rate exposures and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We regularly monitor interest rate risk attributable to both our outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as any offsetting hedge positions. This risk management process involves the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analyses, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on our future cash flows.

As of June 30, 2016 , we had interest rate swaps outstanding which are designated as fair value hedges for certain debt obligations, with a total notional value of $825 million and maturities through 2020 . Interest rate swaps are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 fair value inputs. The fair value of these interest rate swaps was approximately $21.0 million as of June 30, 2016 , and was presented in "Direct financing leases and other assets" in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps were offset by changes in the fair value of the hedged debt instruments. Accordingly, there was no ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swaps.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

In December 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans (the December 2015 program). Under the December 2015 program, management is authorized to repurchase (i) up to 1.5 million shares of common stock, the sum of which will not exceed the number of shares issued to employees under the Company’s employee stock plans from December 1, 2015 to December 9, 2017, plus (ii) 0.5 million shares issued to employees that were not repurchased under the Company’s previous share repurchase program. The December 2015 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 2015 program, which allow for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 , we repurchased 321,718 shares for $21.9 million and 69,107 shares for $6.1 million , respectively.

(1) These amounts are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost. See Note 12 , " Employee Benefit Plans ," for further information.

The loss from currency translation adjustments in the six months ended June 30, 2016 of $18.6 million was primarily due to the weakening of the British Pound against the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar. The loss from currency translation adjustments in the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $30.3 million was due to the weakening of the Canadian Dollar and British Pound against the U.S. Dollar.

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 and principally include at-the-money stock option, unvested stock and cash awards. Unvested 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 unvested 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, — 2016		2015		Six months ended June 30, — 2016		2015

During the second quarter of 2016, we determined that certain pension benefit improvements made in 2009 had not been fully reflected in our projected benefit obligation. Because the amounts were not material to our consolidated financial statements in any individual prior period, and the cumulative amount is not material to 2016 results, we recognized a one-time, non-cash charge of $7.7 million in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" and a $12.8 million pre-tax increase to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in our second quarter 2016 consolidated condensed financial statements to correctly state the pension benefit obligation and account for these 2009 benefit improvements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 we contributed $42.3 million to our pension plans. In 2016 , we expect total contributions to our pension plans to be approximately $ 80 million . We also maintain other postretirement benefit plans that are not reflected in the above table. The amount of postretirement benefit expense was not material for the three or six months ended June 30, 2016 .

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, we believe that the resolution of these claims, complaints and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on our consolidated condensed 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, we believe that such losses will not have a material effect on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

In Brazil, we were assessed $5 million in prior years for various federal income taxes and social contribution taxes for the 1997 and 1998 tax years. These federal tax assessments were overturned 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 amount of any potential loss.

SEGMENT REPORTING

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 and professional fees. 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 segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation.

Our Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) segment leases revenue earning equipment and provides fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) and Supply Chain Solutions (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 segment which served the customer and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations”).

The following tables set forth financial information for each of our segments and provide a reconciliation between segment EBT and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 . 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.

Total revenue increased 2% to $1.70 billion and operating revenue increased 4% to $1.45 billion in the second quarter of 2016 . For the first half of 2016 , total revenue increased 3% to $3.33 billion and operating revenue increased 6% to $2.86 billion . These increases reflect higher revenue across all business segments, partially offset by negative impacts from foreign exchange. Increased total revenue was also partially offset by lower fuel costs passed through to customers.

FMS total revenue in the second quarter was consistent with the prior year as higher operating revenue was partially offset by lower fuel prices passed through to customers and a negative impact from foreign exchange. FMS total revenue in the first half of 2016 increased as higher operating revenue was partially offset by lower fuel prices passed through to customers and a negative impact from foreign exchange. FMS operating revenue growth in both periods was due to growth in the full service lease fleet and higher prices on replacement vehicles, partially offset by lower demand in the commercial rental product line. The increase in DTS and SCS total revenue was driven by operating revenue growth, partially offset by lower fuel costs passed through to customers in the second quarter and first half of 2016 . Increased subcontracted transportation also contributed to DTS total revenue growth, while lower subcontracted transportation partially offset total revenue growth in SCS. DTS and SCS operating revenue growth was due to new business, increased volumes and higher pricing in the second quarter and first half of 2016 .

EBT decreased 12% in the second quarter of 2016 to $116.8 million and 6% in the first half of 2016 , reflecting lower commercial rental and used vehicle results, partially offset by higher full service lease results, lower insurance costs in DTS and increased pricing, new business and increased volumes in DTS and SCS. The 2016 EBT decrease also reflects a $7.7 million pension-related charge related to certain 2009 pension benefit improvements that were not fully reflected in our pension benefit obligation. EBT was negatively impacted by foreign exchange in the second quarter and first half of 2016 by 100 basis points.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Lease and Rental

	Three months ended June 30, — 2016	2015	Six months ended June 30, — 2016	2015	Change 2016/2015 — Three Months		Six Months
	(Dollars in thousands)
Lease and rental revenues	$ 798,387	779,046	$ 1,566,141	1,508,070	2	%	4 %
Cost of lease and rental	555,302	531,308	1,107,792	1,049,730	5	%	6 %
Gross margin	243,085	247,738	458,349	458,340	(2	)%	— %
Gross margin %	30 %	32 %	29 %	30 %

Lease and rental revenues represent full service lease and commercial rental product offerings within our FMS segment. Revenues increased 2% in the second quarter of 2016 and 4% in the first half of 2016 primarily driven by a 5% larger average full service lease fleet and higher prices on replacement vehicles, partially offset by lower commercial rental revenue reflecting lower demand. Foreign exchange negatively impacted revenue growth by 100 basis points .

Cost of lease and rental represents the direct costs related to lease and rental revenues. These costs consist 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 increased 5% in the second quarter and 6% in the first half of 2016 primarily due to higher depreciation and maintenance costs from a larger average lease fleet, partially offset by lower depreciation on a smaller average rental fleet ( 7% lower in the second quarter and 2% lower in the first half of 2016 ). Cost of lease and rental benefited by approximately $9 million in the second quarter of 2016 and by $17 million in the first half of 2016 due to changes in estimated residual values effective January 1, 2016 . Foreign exchange also reduced cost of lease and rental by 100 basis points .

Lease and rental gross margin decreased 2% in the second quarter and remained consistent with the first half of 2015. Lease and rental gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 30% in the second quarter and 29% in the first half of 2016 . The decrease in gross margin dollars in the second quarter of 2016 was due to lower commercial rental demand, partially offset by higher prices on replacement vehicles and lease fleet growth as well as benefits from improved residual values. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the second quarter and first half of 2016 reflects lower commercial rental fleet utilization, partially offset by benefits from improved residual values.

Services

	Three months ended June 30, — 2016	2015	Six months ended June 30, — 2016	2015	Change 2016/2015 — Three Months	Six Months
	(Dollars in thousands)
Services revenue	$ 785,791	737,170	$ 1,544,918	1,430,874	7 %	8 %
Cost of services	646,129	603,488	1,277,843	1,185,818	7 %	8 %
Gross margin	139,662	133,682	267,075	245,056	4 %	9 %
Gross margin %	18 %	18 %	17 %	17 %

Services revenue represents all the revenues associated with our DTS and SCS segments as well as contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and fleet support services associated with our FMS segment. Services revenue increased 7% in the second quarter and 8% in the first half of 2016 due to new business, increased volumes and higher pricing in the SCS and DTS segments. The contract-related maintenance and contract maintenance product lines benefited from growth in fleet size, and contract-related maintenance revenue also increased from higher volumes. These increases were partially offset by lower fuel prices passed through to our DTS and SCS customers. Foreign exchange also negatively impacted revenue growth by 100 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 increased 7% in the second quarter of 2016 and 8% in the first half of 2016 due to higher volumes, partially offset by lower fuel costs and lower insurance costs. Foreign exchange reduced cost of services by 100 basis points .

Services gross margin increased 4% in the second quarter and 9% in the first half of 2016 . Services gross margin as a percentage of revenue in second quarter of 2016 and first half of 2016 were consistent with prior periods. The increase in gross margin dollars reflects higher pricing in our DTS and SCS segments. Gross margin dollars also benefited from new business and higher volumes in our SCS and DTS segments, growth in full service lease fleet size and higher volumes in the contract-related business and growth in the contract maintenance fleet.

Fuel

	Three months ended June 30, — 2016	2015	Six months ended June 30, — 2016	2015	Change 2016/2015 — Three Months		Six Months
	(Dollars in thousands)
Fuel services revenue	$ 119,566	146,715	$ 222,357	291,140	(19	)%	(24	)%
Cost of fuel services	115,478	142,176	214,379	278,465	(19	)%	(23	)%
Gross margin	4,088	4,539	7,978	12,675	(10	)%	(37	)%
Gross margin %	3 %	3 %	4 %	4 %

Fuel services revenue represents fuel services provided to our FMS customers. Fuel services revenue decreased 19% in the second quarter of 2016 and 24% in the first half of 2016 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 19% in the second quarter and 23% in the first half of 2016 as a result of lower fuel prices.

Fuel services gross margin decreased 10% in the second quarter and 37% in the first half of 2016 . Fuel services gross margin as a percentage of revenue remained at 3% in the second quarter and 4% in the first half of 2016 compared to the same periods 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 trailing market fuel costs. Fuel services gross margin was favorably impacted by rapid decreases in the market fuel prices during the first quarter of 2015.

	(In thousands)
Other operating expenses	$ 27,796	29,582	$ 57,947	61,955	(6	)%	(6	)%

Other operating expenses include costs related to our owned and leased facilities within the FMS segment, such as facility depreciation, rent, purchased insurance, utilities and taxes. These facilities are utilized to provide maintenance to our lease, rental, contract maintenance and fleet support services customers. Other operating expenses decreased 6% in the second quarter and first half of 2016 largely due to lower utility costs for FMS facilities.

Percentage of total revenue	13 %	13 %	13 %	13 %
Percentage of operating revenue	15 %	15 %	15 %	16 %

SG&A expenses increased 4% in the second quarter of 2016 compared with the year-earlier period and increased 3% in the first half of 2016 . The increase in the second quarter and first half of 2016 is primarily due to increased pension expenses, partially offset by lower professional fees, compensation-related expenses and foreign exchange. Foreign exchange reduced the growth in SG&A expenses by 100 basis points . Pension expense, which primarily impacts SG&A expenses, increased $10.9 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $13.2 million in the first half of 2016 due to a one-time charge of $7.7 million related to pension benefit improvements made in 2009 that were not fully reflected in our pension benefit obligation, as well as the impact of a lower asset return assumption and a higher discount rate.

Gains on used vehicles, net	$ 12,000	29,985	$ 31,129	57,193	(60	)%	(46	)%

Gains on used vehicles, net includes gains from sales of used vehicles as well as the costs associated with used vehicles such as write-downs of vehicles to fair market values. Gains on used vehicles, net decreased to $12 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $31 million in the first half of 2016 due to higher fair market value write-downs and lower gains on the sale of used vehicles. Write-downs increased $9.3 million in the second quarter and $14.2 million in the first half of 2016 due to an increase in the used vehicle inventory and lower pricing. Global average proceeds per unit in the second quarter decreased from the prior year reflecting a 15% decrease in tractor proceeds per unit and a 4% decrease in truck proceeds per unit. Global proceeds per unit in the first half of 2016 decreased from the prior year reflecting a 12% decrease in tractor proceeds per unit, partially offset by a 1% increase in truck proceeds per unit in the first half of 2016 .

Effective interest rate	2.7 %	3.1 %	2.7 %	3.1 %

Interest expense decreased 5% to $37.3 million in the second quarter of 2016 and 1% to $75.2 million in the first half of 2016 reflecting a lower effective interest rate, partially offset by higher average outstanding debt. The increase in average outstanding debt reflects planned higher vehicle capital spending. The lower effective interest rate in 2016 reflects the replacement of higher interest rate debt with debt issuances at lower rates.

Miscellaneous income, net consists of investment income on securities used to fund certain benefit plans, interest income,

gains from sales of operating property, foreign currency transaction gains and other non-operating items. The increase in the second quarter and first half of 2016 is primarily driven by increased gains from sales of operating property and equipment.

Provision for income taxes decreased 10% in the second quarter of 2016 and 4% in the first half of 2016 . The decrease in the provision for income taxes reflects lower taxable earnings, partially offset by a higher effective income tax rate. Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations increased to 36.6% in both the second quarter and first half of 2016 . The effective tax rates in the prior year benefited from enacted tax law changes in multiple jurisdictions, which decreased the provision for income taxes by $1.9 million in the prior year.

(1) Non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the“Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for a reconciliation of total revenue to operating revenue and the reasons why management believes these measure are important to investors. The reconciliations for each segment's total revenue to operating revenue are set forth in this "Operating Results by Segment" section on pages 27 (FMS), 30 (DTS) and 31 (SCS).

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 and other items discussed in Note 15 , " Segment Reporting ," in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. CSS represents those costs incurred to support all 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 segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each 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 not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including 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.

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, 2016 — Total		Operating		Six months ended June 30, 2016 — Total		Operating
Organic including price and volume	4	%	5	%	6	%	6	%
Fuel	(3	)	—		(4	)	—
Foreign exchange	(1	)	(1	)	(1	)	(1	)
Net increase	—	%	4	%	1	%	5	%

Total revenue remained at $1.15 billion in the second quarter and increased 1% in the first half of 2016 due to higher operating revenue, largely offset by a decline in fuel services revenue and negative impacts from foreign exchange. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel) increased 4% in the second quarter and 5% in the first half of 2016 as a result of organic growth, primarily in the full service lease product line, partially offset by lower commercial rental revenue. In the first half of 2016 , foreign exchange negatively impacted both total and operating revenue growth by 100 basis point s.

Full service lease revenue increased 9% in the second quarter and 8% in the first half of 2016 reflecting a 5% larger average fleet size and higher prices on replacement vehicles. Foreign exchange negatively impacted full service lease revenue growth by 100 basis points in both the second quarter and the first half of 2016 . We expect favorable full service lease revenue comparisons to continue through the end of the year based on strong sales activity. Commercial rental revenue decreased 10% in the second quarter and 6% in the first half of 2016 due to lower demand. We expect unfavorable commercial rental revenue comparisons through the end of the year based on a projected weaker demand environment. Contract-related maintenance revenue increased 11% in the second quarter and 16% in the first half of 2016 reflecting favorable impacts from growth in the full service lease fleet and higher volumes.

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

(2) Represents revenue from rental vehicles provided to our existing full service lease customers, generally in place of a lease vehicle.

(3) Number of units rounded to nearest hundred and calculated using quarterly average unit counts.

(4) Excluding trailers.

FMS EBT decreased 9% in both the second quarter and the first half of 2016 reflecting lower commercial rental and used vehicle results, partially offset by higher full service lease results. Commercial rental results declined from lower demand and a decline in utilization of 340 basis point in the second quarter and 330 basis point in the first half of 2016 . Used vehicle results decreased due to lower pricing, partially offset by higher sales volume. Full service lease results benefited from growth in the average lease fleet size and higher prices on replacement vehicles, partially offset by higher depreciation and maintenance from a larger average fleet. Full service lease and commercial rental results benefited from approximately $9 million of lower depreciation in the second quarter and $17 million in the first half of 2016 due to residual value changes implemented January 1, 2016 .

Other NLE units	3,500	3,300	3,500	6		—
Total	14,800	14,100	12,700	5	%	17	%

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 decreased compared to June 30, 2015 , reflecting planned lower investments in the commercial rental fleet. 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 increased compared to June 30, 2015 due to higher used vehicle inventories. We expect NLE levels to decline through the end of the year as a result of lower expected used vehicle inventories.

In the second quarter of 2016 , total revenue increased 16% reflecting increased revenue from subcontracted transportation and organic growth, partially offset by lower fuel prices passed through to our customers. Operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation and fuel) increased 10% due to new business, higher pricing and increased volumes. DTS EBT increased 32% in the second quarter of 2016 due to lower insurance costs and the benefits of increased operating revenue.

In the first half of 2016 , total revenue increased 15% reflecting increased revenue from organic growth and subcontracted transportation, partially offset by lower fuel prices passed through to our customers. Operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation and fuel) increased 12% due to new business, increased volumes and higher pricing. We expect operating revenue comparisons to remain favorable through the end of the year, however at a lower growth rate. DTS EBT increased 44% in the first half of 2016 due to lower insurance costs and the benefits of increased operating revenue.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Cash Flows

The following is a summary of our cash flows from continuing operations:

	Six months ended June 30, — 2016		2015
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$ 762,672		658,698
Financing activities	69,399		445,520
Investing activities	(823,336	)	(1,078,663	)
Effect of exchange rates on cash	(3,415	)	(1,198	)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$ 5,320		24,357

Cash provided by operating activities increased to $762.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with $658.7 million in 2015 , due to higher earnings adjusted for non-cash items, primarily depreciation, and working capital improvements, partially offset by higher pension contributions. Cash provided by financing activities was $69.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with $445.5 million in 2015 due to lower borrowing needs. Cash used in investing activities decreased to $823.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with $1.08 billion in 2015 primarily due to lower payments for capital expenditures and higher proceeds from revenue earning equipment sales.

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”, a non-GAAP financial measure. 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”, also a non-GAAP financial measure.

The following table shows our free cash flow computation:

The following table provides a summary of capital expenditures:

	Six months ended June 30, — 2016	2015
	(In thousands)
Revenue earning equipment:
Full service lease	$ 869,081	947,280

Cash paid for purchases of property and revenue earning equipment	$ 1,120,182	1,329,218

Capital expenditures decreased 30% to $1.0 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2016 reflecting planned lower investments in our commercial rental fleet. We expect full-year 2016 capital expenditures to be approximately $2 billion . We expect to fund 2016 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, 2016 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 $66 million as of June 30, 2016 . As of June 30, 2016 , approximately $30 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, 2016 , we had the following amounts available to fund operations under the following facilities:

	(In millions)
Global revolving credit facility	$425
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, 2016 was 214% .

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 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 that causes early termination, the 364 -day program will expire October 21, 2016.

In February 2016, 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.

Total changes in debt	131,387		483,860
Debt balance at June 30	$ 5,634,014		5,201,384

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 20% - 40% variable-rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. The variable-rate portion of our total debt (including notional value of swap agreements) was 32% and 30% at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively.

Refer to Note 6 , “ 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.

Ryder’s debt to equity ratios were 275% and 277% as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively.

The debt to equity ratio represents total debt divided by total equity. Additional obligations, including the present value of minimum lease payments under operating leases for vehicles, were not significant as of June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015 .

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 2016 , we expect total contributions to our pension plans to be approximately $ 80 million . During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , we contributed $42 million to our pension plans. Changes in interest rates and the market value of the securities held by the plans during 2016 could materially change, positively or negatively, the funded status of the plans and affect the level of pension expense and contributions in 2016 and beyond. See Note 12 , “ Employee Benefit Plans ,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

Share Repurchases and Cash Dividends

See Note 8 , “ Share Repurchase Programs ,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of share repurchases.

In May 2016 , our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.41 per share of common stock.

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 elements of this information are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by SEC rules. 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. Also, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to financial measures used by other companies. We provide a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure in the management's discussion and analysis or in this non-GAAP financial measures section. We also provide the reasons why management believes each non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in this section.

Specifically, we refer to the following non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10Q:

Non-GAAP Financial Measure	Comparable GAAP Measure	Reconciliation in Section Entitled	Page

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

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

Set forth in the table below is an explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure and why management believes that presentation of each non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors:

Operating Revenue Measures :
Operating Revenue FMS Operating Revenue DTS Operating Revenue SCS Operating Revenue FMS EBT as a % of Operating Revenue DTS EBT as a % of Operating Revenue SCS EBT as a % of Operating Revenue	Operating revenue is defined as total revenue for Ryder System, Inc. or each business segment (FMS, DTS and SCS), respectively, excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation. We use operating revenue to evaluate the operating performance of our core businesses and as a measure of sales activity at the consolidated level for Ryder System, Inc. as well as for each of our business segments. We also use segment EBT as a percentage of operating revenue for each business segment for the same reason. Fuel : We exclude FMS, DTS and SCS fuel from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as fuel is an ancillary service that we provide our customers, which is impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices, and 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. Subcontracted transportation : We also exclude subcontracted transportation from the calculation of our operating revenue measures as these services are also typically a pass-through to our customers and therefore fluctuations result in minimal changes to our profitability. While our DTS and SCS business segments subcontract certain transportation services to third party providers, our FMS business segment does not engage in subcontracted transportation and, therefore, this item is not applicable to FMS.
Comparable Earnings Measures :
Comparable Earnings Comparable EPS Comparable Earnings Before Income Tax	Comparable earnings, comparable earnings per diluted common share (EPS) and comparable earnings before income tax are defined, respectively, as GAAP earnings, EPS and earnings before income tax, all from continuing operations, excluding (1) non-operating pension costs and operations (2) any other significant items that are not representative of our business. We believe these comparable earnings measures provide useful information to investors and allow for better year-over-year comparison of operating performance. Non-Operating Pension Costs : Our comparable earnings measures exclude non-operating pension costs, which include the amortization of net actuarial loss, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement costs. We exclude non-operating pension costs because we consider these to be impacted by financial market performance and outside the operational performance of our business. Other Significant Items : Our comparable earnings measures also exclude other significant items that are not representative of our business operations. These other significant items vary from period to period and, in some periods, there may be no such significant items. In this reporting period, we exclude the following other significant items from our comparable earnings measures in this Form 10Q: ___ (1) Pension-related charge (in the second quarter 2016 and year to date 2016). This charge represents a one-time, non-cash charge for benefit improvements made in 2009 that were not fully reflected in our projected benefit obligation. (2) Professional fees (in the second quarter 2015 and year to date 2015). These charges represent professional fees associated with the assessment of potential cost savings initiatives. ___ (3) A benefit from a tax law change (in the second quarter 2015 and year to date 2015). In the second quarter of 2015, the states of Connecticut and Texas and the city of New York enacted changes to their tax systems, which decreased Ryder's provision for income taxes in each jurisdiction. Calculation of comparable tax rate : The comparable provision for income taxes is computed using the same methodology as the GAAP provision for income taxes. Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated based on the statutory tax rates of the jurisdictions to which the non-GAAP adjustments relate.

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

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

Cash Flow Measures :

Total Cash Generated Free Cash Flow

We consider total cash generated and free cash flow to be important measures of comparative operating performance as our principal sources of operating liquidity are cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment. Total Cash Generated : Total cash generated is defined as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment and (3) operating property and equipment, (4) collections on direct finance leases and (5) other cash inflows from investing activities. We believe total cash generated is an important measure of total cash flows generated from our ongoing business activities. Free Cash Flow : We refer to the net amount of cash generated from operating activities and investing activities (excluding changes in restricted cash and acquisitions) from continuing operations as “free cash flow”. We calculate free cash flow as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities and (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment and (3) operating property and equipment, (4) collections on direct finance leases and (5) other cash inflows from investing activities, less (6) purchases of property and revenue earning equipment. 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 provides a reconciliation of GAAP earnings before taxes (EBT), earnings, and earnings per diluted share (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, 2016 and 2015 included certain items we do not consider indicative of our business operations and have been excluded from our comparable EBT, earnings and EPS measures. The following table lists 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 — 2016	2015	Earnings — 2016	2015		Diluted EPS — 2016	2015

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 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

Further decreases in market demand affecting the commercial rental market and used vehicle sales as well as global economic conditions.

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

• 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

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

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

• 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

Decreases in commercial rental fleet utilization

Lower than expected used vehicle sales pricing levels and fluctuations in the anticipated proportion of retail versus wholesale sales

Loss of key customers in our DTS and SCS business segments

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 our maintenance initiatives

Our inability to successfully execute our asset management initiatives, maintain our fleet at normalized levels and right-size our fleet in line with demand

Our key assumptions and pricing structure of our DTS and 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, 2015 . Please refer to the 2015 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 2016 , 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 2016 , 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, 2016 , 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, 2016 :

————————————

(1) During the three months ended June 30, 2016 , we purchased an aggregate of 322,000 shares of our common stock in employee-related transactions. Employee-related transactions may include: (i) shares of common stock withheld as payment for the exercise price of options exercised or to satisfy the employees' 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 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans. Under the December 2015 program, management is authorized to repurchase (i) up to 1.5 million shares of common stock, the sum of which will not exceed the number of shares issued to employees under the Company’s employee stock plans from December 1, 2015 to December 9, 2017 plus (ii) 0.5 million shares issued to employees that were not purchased under the Company’s previous share repurchase program. The December 2015 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 2015 program, which allow for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan.
