MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (“C.H. Robinson”) (Nasdaq: CHRW) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
- Net revenues decreased 8.7 percent to $633.4 million
- Income from operations decreased 18.2 percent to $201.1 million
- Operating margin decreased 370 basis points to 31.7 percent
- Diluted earnings per share (EPS) decreased 14.4 percent to $1.07
- Cash flow from operations decreased 24.1 percent to $167.3 million
“The third quarter provided challenges in both our North American Surface Transportation and Global Forwarding segments. Our net revenues, operating income, and EPS results finished below our long-term expectations. We anticipated an aggressive industry pricing environment coming into the second half of this year driven by excess capacity and softening demand and knew we faced difficult comparisons versus our strong double-digit net revenue growth in the second half of last year. Our results were negatively impacted by truckload margin compression in North America,” said Bob Biesterfeld, Chief Executive Officer of C.H. Robinson.
Biesterfeld continued, “A part of our customer value proposition, particularly in our committed relationships, is managing through freight cycles and the pricing volatility that occurs as a result of the cyclicality of our industry. Our people did a great job of controlling what we can control, which includes winning increased awards in contractual bids with our largest customers in the quarter and continuing to provide excellent service and innovation. We are also continuing to adjust our pricing strategies in order to optimize our results.”
Third Quarter Results Summary
- Total revenues decreased 10.2 percent to $3.9 billion, driven by lower pricing across most transportation service lines.
- Net revenues decreased 8.7 percent to $633.4 million, primarily driven by reduced margin in truckload services.
- Operating expenses decreased 3.5 percent to $432.3 million. Personnel expenses decreased 4.4 percent to $320.6 million, driven primarily by declines in performance-based compensation, partially offset by a 3.2 percent increase in average headcount. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 0.9 percent to $111.8 million, due primarily to a decrease in bad debt expense and a $5.8 million gain on the sale of an office building in Chicago, Illinois, partially offset by an increase in purchased services.
- Income from operations totaled $201.1 million, down 18.2 percent from last year due to a decline in North American Surface Transportation (“NAST”), partially offset by growth in Global Forwarding and All Other and Corporate. Operating margin of 31.7 percent declined 370 basis points.
- Interest and other expenses totaled $13.2 million, which primarily consists of interest expense. The third quarter also included a $1.1 million unfavorable impact from currency revaluation.
- The effective tax rate in the quarter was 21.8 percent compared to 26.5 percent last year. The lower effective tax rate was due primarily to a favorable adjustment of $2.7 million from a prior year tax provision.
- Net income totaled $146.9 million, down 16.5 percent from a year ago. Diluted EPS of $1.07 decreased 14.4 percent.
Year-to-Date Results Summary

- Net revenues increased 0.8 percent to $2.0 billion.
- Operating expenses increased 1.5 percent to $1.4 billion. Personnel expenses decreased 0.5 percent to $1.0 billion, driven primarily by declines in performance-based compensation, partially offset by a 2.6 percent increase in average headcount. SG&A expenses increased 7.3 percent to $354.7 million, due primarily to increases in purchased services, particularly commercial off-the-shelf software, and occupancy, partially offset by a reduction in bad debt expense.
- Income from operations totaled $653.2 million, down 0.5 percent from last year due to a decline in All Other and Corporate, partially offset by growth in Global Forwarding. Operating margin of 32.5 percent decreased 50 basis points.

Third quarter total revenues for C.H. Robinson's NAST segment totaled $2.8 billion, a decrease of 12.4 percent over the prior year, primarily driven by decreased pricing. NAST net revenues decreased 13.2 percent in the quarter to $433.8 million. Net revenues in truckload decreased 17.4 percent, less than truckload (“LTL”) net revenues increased 1.3 percent, and intermodal net revenues decreased 15.9 percent versus the year-ago period. Excluding the impact of the change in fuel prices, average North America truckload rate per mile charged to customers decreased approximately 12.5 percent in the quarter, while truckload transportation cost per mile decreased approximately 12 percent. Truckload volumes declined 4 percent in the quarter, as low-single-digit growth in contractual volume was not enough to offset the significant declines in spot market opportunities in the current environment. LTL volumes grew 4 percent, and intermodal volumes declined 24 percent versus the prior year. Operating expenses decreased 6.5 percent due to decreased personnel expenses, partially offset by increased SG&A expenses. Income from operations decreased 21.3 percent to $176.2 million, and operating margin declined 420 basis points to 40.6 percent. NAST average headcount was down 0.1 percent in the quarter. As a reminder, third quarter and year-to-date NAST results include Robinson Fresh transportation, which was previously reported under the Robinson Fresh segment.

Third quarter Robinson Fresh net revenues decreased 0.1 percent to $26.4 million. Managed Services net revenues increased 7.4 percent this quarter. Other Surface Transportation net revenues increased 13.6 percent to $15.9 million, with the acquisition of Dema Service contributing 13 percentage points of net revenue growth. All Other and Corporate operating income included a $5.8 million gain on the sale of an office building in Chicago, Illinois.
Other Income Statement Items
The third quarter effective tax rate was 21.8 percent, down from 26.5 percent last year. The lower effective tax rate was due primarily to a favorable adjustment of $2.7 million from a prior year tax provision. We now expect our 2019 full-year effective tax rate to be in the range of 23 to 24 percent.
Interest and other expenses totaled $13.2 million, which primarily consists of interest expense. Interest expense declined in the quarter driven by a reduction in our overall debt balance. The third quarter also included a $1.1 million unfavorable impact from currency revaluation.
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the quarter were down 1.9 percent due primarily to $67.0 million in share repurchases.
Cash Flow Generation and Capital Distribution
Cash from operations totaled $167.3 million, down 24.1 percent versus the prior year, primarily due to decreased earnings versus the year-ago period.
In the third quarter, $135.9 million was returned to shareholders, with $68.9 million in cash dividends and $67.0 million in share repurchases. This represents a decrease of 9.9 percent over the prior year.
Capital expenditures totaled $19.4 million in the quarter. We now expect 2019 capital expenditures to be between $65 and $75 million, with the majority dedicated to technology.
Outlook
“Looking ahead, we expect that North American routing guides will continue to reset at lower prices in response to the falling cost environment and decline in spot market freight opportunities. While industry data suggests capacity continues to exit the North America truckload market, we believe capacity will exceed available shipments for the next few quarters,” Biesterfeld stated. “Despite the current freight environment, our long-term goals remain unchanged. We remain focused on taking market share, automating core processes while delivering industry-leading quality service to our customers and carriers, and improving operating leverage in our businesses.”

Our total revenues represent the total dollar value of services and goods we sell to our customers. Net revenues are a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as total revenues less the cost of purchased transportation and related services and the cost of purchased products sourced for resale. We believe net revenues are a useful measure of our ability to source, add value, and sell services and products that are provided by third parties, and we consider net revenues to be our primary performance measurement. Accordingly, the discussion of our results of operations often focuses on the changes in our net revenues. The reconciliation of total revenues to net revenues is presented below (in thousands):
