Earnings Call Takeaways

• New management team– Marketing and sales focused– Sales and operations driven

Balance Sheet

• Convertible Bonds when stock price hits $14 and $36

• Will lower Interest Expense if converted, which will raise EBITDA, but also dilute shares

• Neutral effect on EPS

News

• WalMart named YRC the LTL carrier of the year• Announced job cuts of almost 500 employees

on Monday– Price jumped 15% that day

• Trading volume trending upwards• Will analysts raise price targets?

As the Risk goes downthe Price will go up

Risks

• Earnings don’t increase like we are projecting• Share dilution• US economy does not recover, which is driving

growth in the trucking industry

• Backbone of the U.S. economy• Very undervalued with 0.08 P/B– Failure is priced into the stock

• IPO needs to take on more risk than just UPS, Home Depot, etc.

• High risk, high reward

Investment Thesis
