EXPD Expeditors International of Washington Inc

Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPD) today announced third quarter 2019 financial results including the following highlights compared to the same quarter of 2018:

• Diluted Net Earnings Attributable to Shareholders per share (EPS1) remained constant at $0.92
• Net Earnings Attributable to Shareholders decreased 2% to $160 million
• Operating Income increased 2% to $207 million
• Revenues decreased 1% to $2.1 billion
• Airfreight tonnage volume decreased 7% and ocean container volume decreased 2%

“The third quarter presented challenges that were not unexpected in terms of growth in the global economy and ongoing trade disputes that extend well beyond just the United States and China,” said Jeffrey S. Musser, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We saw volumes drop in our air and ocean products but believe this was consistent with the overall market. In addition to volume changes, we also believe the market experienced corresponding changes in buy/sell rates and we were adept at negotiating in the changing pricing environment.

“We’ve always believed that a true global network of offices is critical to achieving success in the supply chain, and that played out as expected with outsized growth in regions where business has transitioned. Further, the trade environment has placed an increased need for products such as customs brokerage, and our results show that we continue to execute well in this area. A broad range of solutions, technology and expertise has never been more important to help mitigate the uncertainty and ambiguity of the current marketplace.

“Our focus on providing an extremely high level of service, coupled with deep knowledge and expertise, remains a winning strategy. We can’t execute this strategy without our global team and, as always, we are incredibly thankful for their effort and dedication.”

Bradley S. Powell, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, “We again demonstrated strong performance in our customs brokerage, Transcon, ocean forwarding, and order management businesses during the quarter. In addition, we boosted our operating efficiency by paying close attention to costs across our global network.” Mr. Powell also noted that the Company’s effective tax rate was 24.9% in the quarter, compared to 21.8% in the third quarter of 2018. The three-month period ended 2018 benefited from required discrete adjustments as a result of interpretations issued related to the 2017 Tax Act for foreign tax credits earned as a result of withholding taxes paid on repatriated foreign earnings and a state income tax refund that settled during the quarter in 2018.

Expeditors is a global logistics company headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The Company employs trained professionals in 176 district offices and numerous branch locations located on six continents linked into a seamless worldwide network through an integrated information management system. Services include the consolidation or forwarding of air and ocean freight, customs brokerage, vendor consolidation, cargo insurance, time-definite transportation, order management, warehousing and distribution and customized logistics solutions.

The three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 include the effect of changing our presentation of certain import services from a net to a gross basis and our revised presentation of destination services, which increased revenues and directly related operating expenses in customs brokerage and other services but did not change operating income.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased 0.9 million and 4.1 million shares of common stock at an average price of $69.51 and $72.60 per share, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we repurchased 2.0 million and 7.8 million shares of common stock at an average price of $73.47 and $71.58 per share, respectively.

1In 2019, the Company revised its process to record the transfer, between its geographic operating segments, of revenues and the directly related cost of transportation expenses for freight service transactions between Company origin and destination locations. This change better aligns revenue reporting with the location where the services are performed, as well as the transactional reporting being developed as part of the Company’s new accounting systems and processes. Prior year segment revenues have not been revised. The change in presentation had no impact on consolidated or segment operating income. The 2019 results also include the effect of changing the presentation of certain import services from a net to a gross basis, which increased segment revenues and directly related operating expenses but did not change operating income. The impact of these changes on reported segment revenues was immaterial and prior year segment revenues have not been revised.

2Directly related cost of transportation and other expenses totals Operating Expenses from Airfreight services, Ocean freight and ocean services and Customs brokerage and other services as shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

3Salaries and other operating expenses totals Salaries and related, Rent and occupancy, Depreciation and amortization, Selling and promotion and Other as shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
