J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. Reports U.S. GAAP Revenues, Net Earnings and Earnings Per Share for the Second Quarter 2022

  • Second Quarter 2022 Revenue: $3.84 billion; up 32%
  • Second Quarter 2022 Operating Income: $353.1 million; up 46%
  • Second Quarter 2022 EPS: $2.42 vs. $1.61; up 50%

J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: JBHT) announced second quarter 2022 U.S. GAAP (United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) net earnings of $255.3 million, or diluted earnings per share of $2.42 versus second quarter 2021 net earnings of $172.2 million, or $1.61 per diluted share.

Total operating revenue for the current quarter was $3.84 billion, compared with $2.91 billion for the second quarter 2021, an increase of 32%. All segments contributed to the year-over-year growth in consolidated revenue. Intermodal (JBI) revenue grew 42% driven by an 8% increase in volume and a 32% increase in revenue per load. Dedicated Contract Services® (DCS®) revenue grew 39% as a result of a 21% increase in average revenue producing trucks and a 14% improvement in fleet productivity versus the prior-year period. Despite a softer spot-rate environment, our asset-light Truckload (JBT) segment and our non-asset Integrated Capacity Solutions™ (ICS) segment grew revenue 46% and 3% year-over-year, respectively, as the blending of our drop-trailer and live network service offering eliminates waste and drives efficiencies for our customers by leveraging the capabilities of our J.B. Hunt 360°® platform. Final Mile Services® (FMS) revenue increased 21%, primarily driven by our recent acquisition. Current quarter total operating revenue, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, increased 21% versus the comparable quarter 2021.

Total freight transactions in the Marketplace for J.B. Hunt 360 increased 11% to $556 million in the second quarter 2022 compared to $500 million in the prior-year quarter. JBT and JBI executed approximately $113 million and $51 million of their third-party dray, independent contractor and power-only capacity costs through the platform during the quarter, an increase of 60% and 54% year-over-year respectively. ICS revenue on the platform decreased 1% to $392 million versus the year ago period.

Operating income for the current quarter totaled $353.1 million versus $241.5 million for the second quarter 2021. Operating income increased from second quarter 2021 primarily due to higher volumes, customer rate, cost-recovery efforts, and further scaling into our people and technology investments. These items were partially offset by increases in: professional driver and non-driver wages and benefits, rail and truck purchased transportation expense, costs associated with inefficiencies in container utilization in JBI, hiring and recruiting expense, and implementation costs for newly awarded business in both DCS and FMS segments. The company also incurred a net $18.4 million pre-tax expense consisting of an increase in casualty claim expenses, offset by a workers’ compensation insurance benefit.

Net interest expense for the current quarter increased from second quarter 2021 due to higher interest rates compared to the same period last year.

The effective income tax rate in the current quarter was 25.0% and in line with the second quarter 2021. We now expect our 2022 annual tax rate to be between 23.5% and 24.5%.

Segment Information:

Intermodal (JBI)

  • Second Quarter 2022 Segment Revenue: $1.83 billion; up 42%
  • Second Quarter 2022 Operating Income: $202.5 million; up 50%

Intermodal volumes increased 8% over the same period in 2021. Eastern network loads increased 13%, while transcontinental loads increased 5%. Demand for intermodal capacity remained strong throughout the quarter, however rail velocity and customer behavior negatively impacted network efficiencies and container utilization, and ultimately, our ability to execute even greater volume in the quarter. Despite the network inefficiencies, segment gross revenue increased 42% from the prior-year period, reflecting the 8% increase in volume and a 32% increase in gross revenue per load, resulting from changes in the mix of freight, customer rates, and fuel surcharge revenues. Revenue per load excluding fuel surcharge revenue was up 20% year-over-year.

Operating income increased 50% in the second quarter from an increase in volume, combined with customer rate and cost-recovery efforts. These items were partially offset by increases in rail and third-party dray purchased transportation costs, professional driver and non-driver wages and benefits, professional driver recruiting expense, and costs stemming from inefficiencies in the rail and port networks, as well as customer detention of equipment. The JBI segment incurred approximately $7.7 million of the net pre-tax insurance-related expense in the quarter. During the period, we successfully onboarded 1,325 new pieces of trailing equipment. We ended the quarter with approximately 110,600 containers and 6,620 power units in the dray fleet.

Dedicated Contract Services (DCS)

  • Second Quarter 2022 Segment Revenue: $863 million; up 39%
  • Second Quarter 2022 Operating Income: $89.2 million; up 13%

DCS revenue increased 39% during the current quarter over the same period 2021. Productivity (revenue per truck per week) increased approximately 14% versus the prior period. Productivity excluding fuel surcharge revenue increased 5% from a year ago driven by increases in contracted indexed-based price escalators, partially offset by lower productivity of equipment on start-up accounts. A net additional 2,122 revenue producing trucks were in the fleet by the end of the quarter compared to the prior-year period, and a net additional 456 versus the end of the first quarter 2022. Customer retention rates remain above 98%.

Operating income increased 13% from the prior-year quarter. Benefits from higher revenue were mostly offset by increases in professional driver and non-driver wages and benefits, higher driver-recruiting costs, other costs related to the implementation of new, long-term contractual business, and higher bad debt and group medical expense. The DCS segment incurred approximately $1.6 million of the net pre-tax insurance-related expense in the quarter.

Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS)

  • Second Quarter 2022 Segment Revenue: $623 million; up 3%
  • Second Quarter 2022 Operating Income: $23.6 million; up 658%

ICS revenue increased 3% in the current quarter over the same period 2021. Overall segment volumes decreased 3% versus the prior-year period, which was consistent with truckload volume performance. Revenue per load increased 5% compared to the second quarter 2021 due to higher contractual rates in our truckload business as well as changes in customer freight mix, partially offset by lower revenue per load in our transactional or spot business. Contractual volumes represented approximately 54% of the total load volume and 48% of the total revenue in the current quarter compared to 48% and 35%, respectively, in second quarter 2021. Of the total reported ICS revenue, approximately $392 million was executed through the Marketplace for J.B. Hunt 360 compared to $396 million in second quarter 2021.

Operating income increased 658% to $23.6 million compared to $3.1 million in the second quarter 2021. Benefits from higher revenue and gross profit margin were partially offset by higher personnel cost, increased insurance and claims expense and higher technology costs as compared to the same period 2021. The ICS segment incurred approximately $6.7 million of the net pre-tax insurance-related expense in the quarter. Gross profit margins increased to 16.2% in the current period versus 10.5% in the prior period. ICS carrier base increased 33% year over year.

Truckload (JBT)

  • Second Quarter 2022 Segment Revenue: $269 million; up 46%
  • Second Quarter 2022 Operating Income: $25.0 million; up 76%

JBT revenue increased 46% as compared to the same period in the previous year. Revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue increased 37% primarily due to increased load volume and higher revenue per load excluding fuel surcharge revenue. Volume for JBT was up 14% year-over-year as total trailer count increased by approximately 3,800 units, or 46% versus the prior-year period. Trailer turns in the quarter were down 18% from the prior period due to the onboarding of new trailers and freight mix. Revenue per load excluding fuel surcharge revenue was up 20% on a 1% increase in length of haul. Both mix and same-store rate increases contributed to the increase in revenue quality.

JBT operating income increased 76% to $25.0 million versus $14.2 million in the second quarter 2021. JBT continues to leverage the J.B. Hunt 360 platform to grow power capacity and capability for the J.B. Hunt 360box® service offering. Benefits from higher volume and revenue quality led to an improvement in contribution margins across the segment. These benefits were partially offset by higher purchased transportation expense, trailer parts and maintenance costs, personnel costs, insurance and claims expense and continued technology investments to build out 360box. The JBT segment incurred approximately $2.0 million of the net pre-tax insurance-related expense in the quarter.

Final Mile Services (FMS)

  • Second Quarter 2022 Segment Revenue: $257 million; up 21%
  • Second Quarter 2022 Operating Income: $12.8 million; up 20%

FMS revenue increased 21% compared to the same period 2021 driven by the previously announced acquisition of Zenith Freight Lines, LLC (Zenith) that closed at the end of February, in addition to multiple customer contracts implemented over the last year. Revenue growth in the quarter was partially offset by internal efforts to improve revenue quality of the business. FMS revenue increased 8% over the prior-year period excluding the Zenith acquisition, which contributed approximately $28 million to segment revenue in the quarter.

Operating income increased 20% from second quarter 2021 which included the prior-year benefit of $3.2 million from a net settlement of claims. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by an improvement in revenue quality partially offset by increases in professional driver and non-driver wages and benefits, insurance and claims expense, higher technology costs, driver-recruiting expense and implementation costs for newly awarded business. The FMS segment incurred approximately $0.4 million of the net pre-tax insurance-related expense in the quarter.
