"Following a couple of challenging quarters, the second quarter 2017 results include our efforts to return YRC Freight's year-over-year revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharge, to positive territory," said James Welch, chief executive officer at YRC Worldwide. "The consolidated quarterly results were also favorably impacted by our plan to streamline overhead costs, an increase in volume driven by an improving industrial economy and a decrease in liability claims expense. These factors helped offset contractual wage and benefit increases to deliver consolidated Adjusted EBITDA results that were consistent with last year. We continue to believe the fundamentals of our business remain intact and are improving," stated Welch.
"As we look to the second half of 2017, we expect that meeting our customers' needs, pricing for profitability and diligently managing costs should contribute to improved year-over-year financial performance. The industrial economy appears to be moving forward at a moderate pace and we continue to see signs of a stable pricing environment in the less-than-truckload sector.
"We constantly look for opportunities to enhance the Company's long-term success and last month we took another step in that direction when the term loan was amended to extend the maturity from February 2019 to July 2022. We were able to utilize our strong liquidity position to retire a portion of the term loan in conjunction with the refinancing amendment and reduced the outstanding balance to $600 million," concluded Welch.
