Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Ryder System, Inc. reported fourth quarter 2025 GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $3.25, up 5% from $3.11, with comparable EPS of $3.59, up 4%. Total revenue was $3.2 billion and operating revenue was $2.6 billion, both essentially flat year over year.

For full-year 2025, GAAP EPS from continuing operations rose 8% to $11.99 and comparable EPS increased 8% to $12.92. Operating revenue reached $10.4 billion, up 1%, and adjusted ROE was 17% versus 16%. Free cash flow was $946 million, supported by lower capital spending and strong operating cash flow of $2.6 billion.

Management forecasts 2026 comparable EPS of $13.45–$14.45, ROE of 17%–18%, operating revenue growth of 3%, and free cash flow of $700–$800 million, driven by upsized strategic initiatives and continued strength in contractual businesses despite soft freight and used vehicle markets.

Positive

  • Robust 2025 earnings and ROE expansion: GAAP EPS from continuing operations rose 8% to $11.99, comparable EPS increased 8% to $12.92, and adjusted ROE improved to 17% from 16%, showing stronger profitability on essentially flat total revenue.
  • Very strong cash generation and capital returns: Net cash from operating activities reached $2.6 billion and free cash flow jumped to $946 million, enabling $664 million of shareholder returns while maintaining debt-to-equity at 250%, the low end of the company’s target range.
  • Constructive 2026 outlook: Management targets 3% operating revenue growth, comparable EPS of $13.45–$14.45, ROE of 17%–18%, and free cash flow of $700–$800 million, supported by $70 million in incremental benefits from upsized strategic initiatives.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Ryder posts steady 2025 earnings growth, strong cash flow, and guides to higher 2026 profits.

Ryder delivered modest top-line growth but solid bottom-line expansion in 2025. GAAP EPS from continuing operations increased to $11.99, with comparable EPS at $12.92, both up 8%. Adjusted ROE improved to 17%, indicating good returns on equity despite flat total revenue of $12.7 billion.

Cash generation was a standout: net cash from operating activities reached $2.6 billion and free cash flow surged to $946 million as capital expenditures dropped to $2.1 billion. This supported $664 million returned to shareholders via buybacks and dividends while keeping debt-to-equity at 250%, the low end of the target range.

For 2026, management guides to operating revenue growth of 3% and comparable EPS of $13.45–$14.45, with ROE of 17%–18%. The outlook assumes continued benefits from $70 million in incremental strategic initiatives and does not rely on a major freight rebound at the high end of EPS guidance, though results will still depend on freight and used vehicle market conditions.

CEO Comment

"Ryder delivered earnings growth and another year of solid returns in 2025, reflecting the strength and resiliency of our transformed business model as well as consistent execution on strategic initiatives," says Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez. "We achieved an annual benefit of $100 million from our multi-year strategic initiatives, with incremental benefits expected in 2026.

"Fourth quarter results represented our fifth consecutive quarter of earnings-per-share growth and were in line with our expectations. SCS and DTS continued to generate pre-tax earnings as a percent of operating revenue at their high single-digit target. In FMS, momentum from our lease pricing and maintenance cost savings initiatives continued to deliver solid quality of earnings despite used vehicle sales and rental market conditions.

"Solid ROE of 17% reflects the structural changes embedded in our transformed model and is in line with expectations given where we are in the freight cycle. The earnings power of our contractual lease, dedicated, and supply chain businesses continues to generate higher operating cash flow and increased capital deployment capacity, enabling us to fund profitable growth while returning capital to shareholders. During 2025, we returned $664 million to shareholders through buybacks and dividends and generated free cash flow of $946 million. Our balance sheet remains strong with leverage at the low end of our target debt-to-equity range.

"Secular growth trends and the value our solutions bring to our customers remain strong. In SCS, we achieved record sales in 2025, positioning us well for growth in 2026. In FMS and DTS, we expect contractual sales trends to improve as freight market conditions normalize. We remain focused on executing on our strategic initiatives and driving further cost and operating efficiencies. We are confident that continued execution on our balanced growth strategy provides a solid foundation for ongoing contractual earnings growth while also positioning us to benefit from a cycle upturn."

Corporate Financial Information


Capital Expenditures, Cash Flow, and Leverage
Capital expenditures decreased to $2.1 billion in 2025 compared to $2.7 billion in 2024, primarily reflecting reduced investments in ChoiceLease and rental fleets.

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $2.6 billion compared to $2.3 billion in 2024, primarily reflecting lower income tax payments and working capital needs. Free cash flow (non-GAAP) of $946 million compared to $133 million in 2024, reflects reduced cash capital expenditures and higher cash provided by operating activities.

Debt-to-equity as of December 31, 2025 was 250%, unchanged from year-end 2024, and is at the low end of the company's long-term target of 250% to 300%.

Outlook

"We expect another year of earnings growth in 2026, driven by $70M in incremental benefits from upsized strategic initiatives," says Ryder Chief Financial Officer Cristina Gallo-Aquino. "The high-end of our EPS forecast range assumes no meaningful improvement in freight market conditions. Historically, the first quarter has been our lowest earnings quarter and we expect it will represent the most difficult year-over-year comparisons, primarily due to used vehicle sales and rental market conditions. Free cash flow is expected to remain strong in 2026, and we expect our capital deployment capacity to continue to enable us to support profitable growth while returning capital to shareholders through buybacks and dividends."

Note: Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements and information included in this news release are "forward-looking statements" under the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including our expectations regarding: our forecast; our outlook; market conditions, such as expectations regarding macroeconomic uncertainty, rental demand and utilization, and used vehicle sales volume and pricing; the freight cycle, including the impact of the prolonged downturn and cycle timing and recovery on our businesses; total and operating revenue, EPS, comparable EPS, Adjusted ROE, earnings before income tax, net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, free cash flow, debt-to-equity, capital expenditures, and the causes of change; our ability to continue executing on our transformed business model; our ability to outperform prior cycles; pricing and maintenance cost savings initiatives; long-term growth opportunities and secular growth trends; used vehicle inventory and fleet size; our ability to profitably grow business; our ability to support organic growth; growth and continued strong earnings performance in our contractual businesses; strategic investments and acquisitions, including acquisition synergies; the omnichannel retail network; our capital deployment capacity; our actions to increase returns and create long-term value; and our ability to return capital to shareholders, including through share repurchases and dividends. Our forward-looking statements also include our estimates of the impact of residual value estimates on earnings and depreciation expense that is based in part on our current assessment of the residual values and useful lives of revenue-earning equipment based on multi-year trends and our outlook for the expected near- and long-term used vehicle market. A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, could cause residual value estimates to differ from actual used vehicle sales pricing, such as changes in supply and demand of used vehicles; volatility in market conditions; changes in vehicle technology; competitor pricing; regulatory requirements, including changes to taxes or tariffs; driver shortages; customer requirements and preferences; and changes in underlying assumption factors.

All of our forward-looking statements should be evaluated by considering the many risks and uncertainties inherent in our business that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include: changes and uncertainty regarding financial, economic and market conditions in the U.S. and worldwide; supply chain and labor challenges and vehicle production constraints, including original equipment manufacturer (OEM) delays; the effect of geopolitical events; our ability to adapt to changing market conditions, including lower than expected contractual sales, decreases in rental demand or utilization, poor acceptance of rental pricing, declining market demand for or excess supply of used vehicles impacting current or estimated pricing, and our anticipated proportion of retail versus wholesale sales; declining customer demand for our services; higher than expected maintenance costs; lower than expected benefits from our cost-savings initiatives; our ability to effectively and efficiently integrate acquisitions into our business; lower than expected benefits from our sales, marketing and new product initiatives; setbacks in the economic market or in our ability to retain profitable customer accounts; impact of changing laws and regulations, such as taxes, tariffs, trade restrictions or trade agreements, including the impact to our customers and partners; difficulty in obtaining adequate profit margins for our services; inability to maintain current pricing levels due to, for example, economic conditions, business interruptions, expenditures, labor disputes and extreme weather or other natural occurrences; competition from other service providers; changes in technology and new entrants; professional driver and technician shortages resulting in higher procurement costs and turnover rates; impact of

supply chain disruptions; higher than expected bad debt reserves or write-offs; decrease in credit ratings; increased debt costs; adequacy of accounting estimates; higher than expected reserves and accruals particularly with respect to pension, taxes, insurance and revenue; impact of changes in our residual value estimates and accounting policies, including our depreciation policy; unanticipated changes in fuel and alternative energy prices; unanticipated currency exchange rate fluctuations; fluctuations in inflation or interest rates; our ability to manage our cost structure; the inability of our information technology systems to provide timely and accurate access to data or of our information security program to safeguard our or our stakeholders' data; and the risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The risks included here are not exhaustive. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risks on our business. Accordingly, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
APPENDIX - NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE RECONCILIATIONS - UNAUDITED

Set forth in the table below is an overview of each non-GAAP financial measure and why management believes that presentation of each non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors. See reconciliations for each of these measures following this table.
Operating Revenue Measures:
Operating Revenue

FMS Operating Revenue

SCS Operating Revenue

DTS Operating Revenue

Operating Revenue Growth

FMS EBT as a % of FMS Operating Revenue

SCS EBT as a % of SCS Operating Revenue

DTS EBT as a % of DTS Operating Revenue

Operating revenue is defined as total revenue for Ryder or each business segment (FMS, SCS and DTS) excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation. We use operating revenue to evaluate the operating performance of our core businesses and as a measure of sales activity at the consolidated level for Ryder System, Inc., as well as for each of our business segments. We also use segment EBT as a percentage of segment operating revenue for each business segment for the same reason. Note: FMS EBT, SCS EBT and DTS EBT, our primary measures of segment performance, are not non-GAAP measures.

Fuel: We exclude FMS, SCS and DTS fuel from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as fuel is an ancillary service that we provide our customers. Fuel revenue is impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices and the costs are largely a pass-through to our customers, resulting in minimal changes in our profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time, as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on current market fuel costs.
  
Subcontracted transportation: We exclude subcontracted transportation from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as these costs are also typically a pass-through to our customers and, therefore, carrier rate fluctuations result in minimal changes to our profitability. While our SCS and DTS business segments subcontract certain transportation services to third party providers, our FMS business segment does not engage in subcontracted transportation and, therefore, this item is not applicable to FMS.
17
        


Comparable Earnings Measures:
Comparable Earnings before Income Taxes (EBT)

Comparable Earnings

Comparable Earnings per Diluted Common Share (EPS)

Comparable Tax Rate

Adjusted Return on Equity (ROE)
Comparable EBT, Comparable Earnings and Comparable EPS are defined, respectively, as GAAP EBT, earnings and EPS, all from continuing operations, excluding (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) other items impacting comparability (as further described below). We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors and allow for better year-over-year comparison of operating performance.

Non-operating pension costs, net: Our comparable earnings measures exclude non-operating pension costs, net, which include the amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement benefit costs, as well as any significant charges for settlements or curtailments if recognized. We exclude non-operating pension costs, net because we consider these to be impacted by financial market performance and outside the operational performance of our business.

Other Items Impacting Comparability: Our comparable and adjusted earnings measures also exclude other significant items that are not representative of our business operations and vary from period to period.

Comparable Tax Rate is computed using the same methodology as the GAAP provision for income taxes. Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated based on the marginal tax rates to which the non-GAAP adjustments are related.

Adjusted ROE is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by adjusted average shareholders' equity and represents the rate of return on shareholders' investment. Other items impacting comparability described above are excluded, as applicable, from the calculation of adjusted net earnings and adjusted average shareholders' equity. We also exclude any significant charges for pension settlements or curtailments from the calculation of adjusted net earnings. We use adjusted ROE as an internal measure of how effectively we use the owned capital invested in our operations.
Comparable Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
Comparable EBITDA is defined as net earnings, first adjusted to exclude discontinued operations and the following items, all from continuing operations: (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) other items impacting comparability (in each of (1) and (2), as defined in comparable earnings measures immediately above) and then adjusted further for (1) interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation, (4) used vehicle sales results and (5) intangible amortization.

We believe comparable EBITDA provides investors with useful information, as it is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties to measure financial performance and our ability to service debt and meet our payment obligations. We believe that the inclusion of comparable EBITDA also provides consistency in financial reporting and aids investors in performing meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. Our presentation of comparable EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Comparable EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP.
18
        


Cash Flow Measures:
Total Cash Generated

Free Cash Flow

We consider total cash generated and free cash flow to be important measures of comparative operating performance, as our principal sources of operating liquidity are cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment.
 
Total Cash Generated is defined as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment, (3) net cash provided by the sale of operating property and equipment and (4) other cash inflows from investing activities. We believe total cash generated is an important measure of total cash flows generated from our ongoing business activities.

Free Cash Flow is defined as the net amount of cash generated from operating activities and investing activities (excluding acquisitions) from continuing operations. We calculate free cash flow as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, and (3) other cash inflows from investing activities, less (4) purchases of property and revenue earning equipment. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and for shareholders, after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. Our calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
