Freight demand in second quarter 2015 and so far in July 2015 continues
to be stronger than the prior five years, with the exception of the same
period in 2014 which was rebounding from severe winter weather in first
quarter 2014 that temporarily backed up the freight network.
Constrained truck capacity combined with a gradually improving economy
in the retail, consumer products and grocery products markets primarily
served by us are contributing to strong freight demand. Truckload
industry capacity is being challenged by an extremely competitive driver
recruiting market and heightened regulatory cost increases for safety
and truck ownership; we expect this favorable trend will continue. There
are numerous pending and proposed federal safety initiatives that could
further limit truckload and driver capacity in the next few years,
including mandatory electronic logging devices (ELD’s), a national drug
and alcohol driver data base, increased minimum liability insurance
requirements for carriers, more sophisticated drug screening procedures
for drivers and mandatory truck speed limiter devices.
Average revenues per tractor per week, net of fuel surcharge, increased
3.5% in second quarter 2015 compared to second quarter 2014. Continued
focus on securing driver friendly, highly productive freight and
improved freight selection using our proprietary freight optimization
system enabled us to essentially maintain our average miles per truck in
a strong, but not as stellar a freight market as second quarter 2014.
Our average miles per truck declined slightly by 0.2% in second quarter
2015 compared to second quarter 2014. Average revenues per total mile,
net of fuel surcharge, increased 3.8% in second quarter 2015 compared to
second quarter 2014.
We are making continued progress implementing sustainable rate increases
with our customers. These efforts are ongoing as we move forward in 2015
and work to recoup the cost increases associated with more expensive
equipment, a shrinking supply of qualified drivers and an increasingly
challenging regulatory environment. Strategic customers understand the
collective capacity and service challenges facing our company and our
industry and are supportive of Werner's ongoing initiatives to provide
sustainable transportation solutions in support of their supply chain
needs.
In second quarter 2015, we averaged 7,247 trucks in service in the
Truckload segment and 51 intermodal drayage trucks in the VAS segment.
On the strength of an intense company-wide focus to improve our driver
recruiting and retention, we ended second quarter 2015 with 7,275 trucks
in the Truckload segment, a sequential improvement of 165 trucks
compared to first quarter 2015 and a year-over-year improvement of 240
trucks compared to second quarter 2014. Our Specialized Services unit,
primarily Dedicated, ended the quarter with 3,700 trucks (or 51% of our
total Truckload segment fleet).
Diesel fuel prices were $1.15 per gallon lower in second quarter 2015
than in second quarter 2014 and were 9 cents per gallon higher than in
first quarter 2015. For the first 20 days of July 2015, the average
diesel fuel price per gallon was $1.16 lower than the average diesel
fuel price per gallon in the same period of 2014 and $1.11 lower than in
third quarter 2014. The components of the Company's total fuel cost
consist of and are recorded in our income statement as follows: (i) Fuel
(fuel expense for company trucks excluding federal and state fuel
taxes); (ii) Taxes and Licenses (federal and state fuel taxes); and
(iii) Rent and Purchased Transportation (fuel component of our
independent contractor costs, including the base cost of fuel and
additional fuel surcharge reimbursement for costs exceeding the fuel
base).
We continue to invest in equipment solutions to improve the safety,
operational efficiency and fuel miles per gallon of our fleet. We
increased our capital expenditures in the last 12 months to lower the
average age of our truck fleet and attained an average age of 2.0 years
as of June 30, 2015, which compares to an average age of 2.4 years as of
June 30, 2014. Net capital expenditures in the first half of 2015 were
$159 million compared to $63 million in the first half of 2014. We
estimate net capital expenditures for the full year of 2015 to be in the
range of $300 to $325 million, which we expect will enable us to further
reduce the average age of our truck fleet to less than two years. We
remain committed to investing in a best in class fleet for the benefit
of our customers, our drivers and the Werner brand.
The driver recruiting market remained very challenging during second
quarter 2015. Several difficult market factors persist including a
declining number of, and increased competition for, driver training
school graduates, a gradually declining national unemployment rate,
aging truck driver demographics and increased truck safety regulations.
Gains on sales of assets were $6.7 million in second quarter 2015. This
compares to gains on sales of assets of $5.2 million in second quarter
2014, which included a $1.6 million gain from the sale of real estate,
and gains on sales of assets of $5.5 million in first quarter 2015. In
second quarter 2015, we realized higher average gains per truck and
trailer and sold more trucks and trailers than in second quarter 2014.
Gains on sales of assets are reflected as a reduction of Other Operating
Expenses in our income statement.
To provide shippers with additional sources of managed capacity and
network analysis, we continue to develop our non-asset-based VAS
segment. VAS includes Brokerage, Freight Management, Intermodal and
Werner Global Logistics (International).

In second quarter 2015, VAS revenues increased $2.9 million or 3%, and
operating income dollars increased $2.7 million or 122%, compared to
second quarter 2014. Our on-going efforts to address customer pricing,
contractual and operational issues within VAS resulted in the best
quarterly gross margin and operating income percentages since second
quarter 2013. The VAS gross margin percentage in second quarter 2015 of
15.5% improved year over year compared to the gross margin percentage of
13.2% in second quarter 2014 and also improved sequentially from the
14.3% gross margin in first quarter 2015. The VAS operating income
percentage in second quarter 2015 of 4.8% improved from second quarter
2014 of 2.2% and first quarter 2015 of 2.7%.
Comparisons of the operating ratios for the Truckload segment (net of
fuel surcharge revenues of $58.3 million and $92.7 million in second
quarters 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $114.7 million and $179.8
million in the year-to-date 2015 and 2014 periods, respectively) and the
VAS segment are shown below.

Fluctuating fuel prices and fuel surcharge revenues impact the total
company operating ratio and the Truckload segment's operating ratio when
fuel surcharges are reported on a gross basis as revenues versus netting
against fuel expenses. Eliminating fuel surcharge revenues, which are
generally a more volatile source of revenue, provides a more consistent
basis for comparing the results of operations from period to period. The
Truckload segment's operating ratios for second quarter 2015 and second
quarter 2014 are 88.7% and 91.1%, respectively, and for year-to-date
2015 and 2014 are 89.7% and 92.9%, respectively, when fuel surcharge
revenues are reported as revenues instead of a reduction of operating
expenses.
Our financial position remains strong. As of June 30, 2015, we had $75.0
million of debt outstanding and $878.2 million of stockholders' equity.
During second quarter 2015, the Company purchased 225,000 shares of its
common stock for a total cost of $6.4 million.

For those reasons, undue reliance should not be placed on any
forward-looking statement. The Company assumes no duty or obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statement, although it may do so
from time to time as management believes is warranted or as may be
required by applicable securities law. Any such updates or revisions may
be made by filing reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, through the issuance of press releases or by other methods
of public disclosure.
