2010 First Quarter Results

First quarter 2010 standalone revenues of $129.4 million increased $25.0 million, or 23.9%, from $104.4 million during the first quarter of 2009. On a combined basis, revenues increased $32.3 million, or 29.2%, from $110.5 million during the first quarter of 2009 to $142.8 million during the first quarter of 2010.

Standalone operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $6.5 million compared to $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2009. On a combined basis, operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $7.2 million compared to $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2009. Excluding acquisition transaction expenses of $0.2 million, operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $6.6 million on a standalone basis. On a combined basis excluding acquisition transaction expenses of $0.3 million, operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $7.5 million.

Standalone net income available to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2010 was $0.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss for first quarter 2009 of $1.0 million, or $(0.07) per diluted share. Combined net income available to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2010 was $0.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a net loss for first quarter 2009 of $1.2 million, or $(0.07) per diluted share.

On a pro forma combined basis, after giving effect to the sale of 9,000,000 shares in the IPO, net income available to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2010 would have been $4.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, based on 30,144,594 weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Net income was adjusted for the elimination of $4.2 million in interest expense (assuming the retirement of $115.0 million of our outstanding debt), the related tax impact of $1.6 million, the elimination of the accretion of the Series B preferred stock of $0.5 million for the quarter, and the conversion of the shares of Series B preferred stock into shares of common stock at the beginning of the quarter.

Mark DiBlasi, President and CEO of RRTS, said, "Our first quarter results slightly exceeded our preliminary estimates, primarily due to revenue increases resulting from positive new business trends and continued market share expansion. We see these trends continuing into the second quarter, resulting in expanded tonnage and improving yield."
