YRCWD has approximately 11704 owned tractors, 1239 leased tractors, 50083 owned trailers, and 3244 leased trailers. YRCWD handles protect-from-freezing and hazardous materials. YRCWD was founded in 1924 and is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas. Last week YRCWD, which is in the midst of a strategic recovery plan, provided an update on its expected third quarter results including: For the third quarter of 2010, tonnage per day for YRC National and YRC Regional was 1.2% and 2.1%, respectively, higher than the tonnage per day for the second quarter of 2010. Revenue per shipment during the third quarter of 2010 for YRC National and YRC Regional was 1.9% and 3.7%, respectively, higher than the third quarter of 2009.YRCWD expects third quarter 2010 positive adjusted EBITDA within a range of $42 million to $46 million. For the second and third quarters of 2010, YRCWD expects cumulative adjusted EBITDA within a range of $82 million to $86 million, which exceeds the $50 million covenant level required by its credit agreement. YRCWD expects a third quarter 2010 operating loss within a range of $18 million to $22 million. As a comparison, the company reported an operating loss of approximately $35 million for the second quarter of 2010 when excluding an $83 million non-cash benefit from an adjustment to the fair value of the March 2010 union employee equity award. At September 30, 2010, the Co’s estimated cash and cash equivalents were $115 million, restricted revolver reserves were $123 million, and unrestricted availability was $46 million, for a total of $284 million. During the third quarter of 2010 YRCWD repaid $25 million of outstanding borrowings on its asset-backed securitization facility. YRCWD was really hit, along with the entire transportation sector, during the ‘great recession’ and is only now getting back on its feet. Considering its assets and its fundamentals trending up, YRCWD would be a near-term (3 Mo) ‘Buy’ consideration for me. There is a lot of risk/reward going on here and while a lot of observers expect the Co to shrivel up; I don’t.
