RUSH ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

1 Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Rush Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All adjustments have been made to the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements, which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, are necessary for a fair presentation of its operating results. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. It is recommended that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim periods or the full fiscal year.

 

Authorized Shares

 

On May 16, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved the Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from 60,000,000 to 105,000,000 and Class B Common Stock from 20,000,000 to 35,000,000.

 

Stock Split

 

On July 25, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split with respect to both the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock. The stock split was effected in the form of a stock dividend paid on August 28, 2023, to shareholders of record as of August 7, 2023. Holders of the Company’s common stock received an additional one-half share for each share of common stock held as of the record date. All share and per share data in this Form 10-Q have been adjusted to reflect the stock split as if it occurred on the first day of the earliest period presented.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiary, Rush Truck Centres of Canada Limited (“RTC Canada”), is the local currency, the Canadian dollar. Results of operations for RTC Canada are translated to USD using the average exchange rate on a monthly basis during each quarter. The assets and liabilities of RTC Canada are translated into USD using the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. The related translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

 

2 Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation arising out of its operations in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains liability insurance, through self-insurance and third-party excess insurance, including product liability coverage, in amounts deemed adequate by management. However, an uninsured or partially insured claim, or claim for which indemnification is not available, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. As of June 30, 2024, the Company believes that there are no pending claims or litigation, individually or in the aggregate, that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations for the fiscal period in which such resolution occurred.

4 Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards

 

Valuation and Expense Information

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718-10, Compensation Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to the Company’s employees and directors, including employee stock options, restricted stock awards and employee stock purchases related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, based on estimated fair values.

 

Stock-based compensation expense, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for employee stock options and included in selling, general and administrative expense, was $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Stock-based compensation expense, included in selling, general and administrative expense, was $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and was $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $15.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested employee stock options to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years and $20.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

 

 

5 Financial Instruments and Fair Value

 

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and floor plan notes payable. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate fair value due either to their short-term nature or existence of variable interest rates, which approximate market rates. Certain methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of financial instruments as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The carrying value of current assets and current liabilities approximates the fair value due to the short maturity of these items.

 

 

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is based on secondary market indicators. Because the Company’s debt is not quoted, estimates are based on each obligation’s characteristics, including remaining maturities, variable interest rates, credit rating, collateral and liquidity. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the valuation measurement inputs of its long-term debt represent, at its lowest level, current market interest rates available to the Company for similar debt and the Company’s current credit standing. Thus, the carrying amount of such debt approximates fair value.

 

 

6 Segment Information

 

The Company currently has one reportable business segment - the Truck Segment. The Truck Segment includes the Company’s operation of a network of commercial vehicle dealerships throughout the United States and Ontario, Canada that provide an integrated one-stop source for the commercial vehicle needs of its customers, including retail sales of new and used commercial vehicles; aftermarket parts, service and collision center facilities; and financial services, including the financing of new and used commercial vehicle purchases, insurance products and truck leasing and rentals. The commercial vehicle dealerships are deemed a single reporting unit because they have similar economic characteristics. The Company’s chief operating decision maker considers the entire Truck Segment, not individual dealerships or departments within its dealerships, when making decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assessing its performance.

 

The Company also has revenues attributable to three other operating segments. These segments include a retail tire company, an insurance agency and a guest ranch operation and are included in the All Other column below. None of these segments has ever met any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates its performance based on income before income taxes, not including extraordinary items.

 

The following table contains summarized information about reportable segment revenues, segment income or loss from continuing operations and segment assets for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

7 Income Taxes

 

The Company had unrecognized income tax benefits totaling $6.7 million and $5.3 million as a component of accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total of which, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. An unfavorable settlement would require a charge to income tax expense and a favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to income tax expense. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had approximately $389,000 accrued for the payment of interest as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. No amounts were accrued for penalties.

 

 

The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2024, the tax years ended December 31, 2020 through 2023 remained subject to audit by federal tax authorities, and the tax years ended December 31, 2019 through 2023, remained subject to audit by state tax authorities.

 

 

8 Revenue

 

The Company’s non-lease and rental revenues are primarily generated from the sale of finished products to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single delivery element and revenues from such sales are recognized when the customer obtains control, which is typically when the finished product is delivered to the customer. The Company’s material revenue streams have been identified as the following: the sale of new and used commercial vehicles, arrangement of associated commercial vehicle financing and insurance contracts, the performance of commercial vehicle repair services and the sale of commercial vehicle parts. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.  

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s disaggregated revenue by revenue source, excluding lease and rental revenue, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Total

  $ 1,939,382     $ 1,914,503     $ 3,723,460     $ 3,739,604  

 

All of the Company's performance obligations and associated revenues are generally transferred to customers at a point in time. The Company did not have any material contract assets or contract liabilities on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2024. Revenues related to commercial vehicle sales, parts sales, commercial vehicle repair service, finance and the majority of other revenues are related to the Truck Segment.

 

 

9 Leases

 

Lease of Vehicles as Lessor

 

The Company primarily leases commercial vehicles that the Company owns to customers over periods of one to ten years. The Company does not separate lease and nonlease components. Nonlease components typically consist of maintenance and licensing for the commercial vehicle. The variable nonlease components are generally based on mileage. Some leases contain an option for the lessee to purchase the commercial vehicle at the end of the lease term.

 

The Company’s policy is to depreciate its lease and rental fleet using a straight-line method over each customer’s contractual lease term. The lease unit is depreciated to a residual value that approximates fair value at the expiration of the lease term. This policy results in the Company realizing reasonable gross margins while the unit is in service and a corresponding gain or loss on sale when the unit is sold at the end of the lease term.

 

Lease and rental income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 consisted of the following (in thousands):

The related translation adjustments are recorded in a separate component of stockholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss and the statement of comprehensive income.

 

 

11 Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses to present the net amount of accounts receivable expected to be collected. Under Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the Company is required to remeasure expected credit losses for financial instruments held on the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts.

 

Accounts receivable consists primarily of commercial vehicle sales receivables, manufacturers’ receivables and leasing, parts and service sales receivables and other trade receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses based on the probability of default, its historical rate of losses, aging and current economic conditions. The Company writes off account balances when it has exhausted reasonable collection efforts and determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. These write-offs are charged against the allowance for credit losses.

In 2019, we purchased a 50% equity interest in an entity in Canada, Rush Truck Centres of Canada Limited (“RTC Canada”) and on May 2, 2022, we purchased an additional 30% equity interest in RTC Canada that increased our equity interest to 80%. RTC Canada currently owns and operates 15 International dealership locations in Ontario. Prior to acquiring the additional 30%, we accounted for the equity interest in RTC Canada using the equity method of accounting. Now, the operating results of RTC Canada are consolidated in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Statements of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Balance Sheets and commercial vehicle unit sales data as of May 2, 2022. 

 

 

Our business strategy consists of providing solutions to the commercial vehicle industry through our network of commercial vehicle dealerships. We offer an integrated approach to meeting customer needs by providing service, parts and collision repairs in addition to new and used commercial vehicle sales and leasing, plus financial services, vehicle upfitting, CNG fuel systems through our joint venture with Cummins and vehicle telematics products. We intend to continue to implement our business strategy, reinforce customer loyalty and remain a market leader by continuing to develop our Rush Truck Centers as we expand our product offerings and extend our dealership network through strategic acquisitions of new locations and opening new dealerships in our existing areas of operation to enable us to better serve our customers.

 

Outlook

 

A.C.T. Research Co., LLC (“A.C.T. Research”), a commercial vehicle industry data and forecasting service provider, currently forecasts new U.S. Class 8 retail truck sales to be 228,700 units in 2024, which would represent a 15.8% decrease compared to 2023. As anticipated, we experienced healthy sales growth in the second quarter, compared to the first quarter, due primarily to the timing of deliveries to certain large customers and continued strong demand from vocational fleets. We expect vocational sales to remain strong in the third quarter. However, we also expect that new U.S. Class 8 retail truck sales in the second half of 2024 will be less than in the first half of the year. We expect our U.S. market share of new Class 8 truck sales to range between 5.7% and 6.1% in 2024. This market share percentage would result in the sale of approximately 13,000 to 14,000 new Class 8 trucks in 2024. Additionally, we expect to sell approximately 450 new Class 8 trucks in Canada in 2024.

 

With respect to new U.S. Class 4 through 7 retail commercial vehicle sales, A.C.T. Research currently forecasts sales to be 262,000 units in 2024, which would represent a 3.7% increase compared to 2023.  As we look forward, production continues to increase and delivery lead times have improved. However, we continue to monitor delays at body manufacturers that could impact deliveries to customers. Currently, we believe Class 4 through 7 commercial vehicle sales in third quarter will be consistent with our second quarter results. We expect our U.S. market share of new Class 4 through 7 commercial vehicle sales to range between 4.9% and 5.3% in 2024. This market share percentage would result in the sale of approximately 13,000 to 14,000 new Class 4 through 7 commercial vehicles in 2024. Additionally, we expect to sell approximately 500 new Class 5 through 7 commercial vehicles in Canada in 2024.

 

We expect to sell approximately 1,800 to 2,000 light-duty vehicles and approximately 6,500 to 7,500 used commercial vehicles in 2024. In addition, we expect lease and rental revenues to remain flat during 2024.

 

With respect to our parts, service, and collision center (collectively referred to herein as “Aftermarket Products and Services”) operations, we expect that the sluggish freight market and persistent high interest rates will continue to negatively impact our over-the-road customers, including both small carriers and larger fleets. Despite the challenging operating environment that is impacting the industry, we believe that the strategic decisions we made several years ago to diversify our customer base and focus on supporting large national fleets, along with the operating expense reduction measures we undertook at the beginning of the second quarter, will allow us to successfully navigate this difficult market cycle. We also believe that our Aftermarket Products and Services revenues will remain flat to slightly down in 2024, compared to 2023.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. In accordance with GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates, judgments, and assumptions on an ongoing basis, and while we believe that our estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time. Actual results might differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in our Form 10-K. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies.

Key Performance Indicator

 

Absorption Ratio

 

Management uses several performance metrics to evaluate the performance of our commercial vehicle dealerships and considers Rush Truck Centers’ “absorption ratio” to be of critical importance. Our absorption ratio is calculated by dividing the gross profit from our Aftermarket Products and Services departments by the overhead expenses of all of a dealership’s departments, except for the selling expenses of the new and used commercial vehicle departments and carrying costs of new and used commercial vehicle inventory. When 100% absorption is achieved, all of the gross profit from the sale of a commercial vehicle, after sales commissions and inventory carrying costs, directly impacts operating profit. Our commercial vehicle dealerships achieved a 134.0% absorption ratio for the second quarter of 2024 and a 139.7% absorption ratio for the second quarter of 2023.

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

 

Revenues

 

Total revenues increased $24.0 million, or 1.2%, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily due to strong truck sales during the quarter.

 

Our Aftermarket Products and Services revenues decreased $23.7 million, or 3.6%, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in Aftermarket Parts and Services revenues was primarily a result of weaker demand caused by the ongoing freight recession and high interest rates impacting our over-the-road customers.

 

Revenues from sales of new and used commercial vehicles increased $49.5 million, or 4.0%, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily due to the timing of deliveries to certain large fleet customers and continued strong demand from vocational fleets.

 

We sold 4,128 new Class 8 trucks in the second quarter of 2024, a 4.0% decrease compared to 4,300 new Class 8 trucks in the second quarter of 2023.  The decrease in new Class 8 truck sales was primarily due to new truck production having caught up to the prior pent-up market demand.

 

 

We sold 3,691 new Class 4 through 7 commercial vehicles, including 343 buses, in the second quarter of 2024, a 6.2% increase compared to 3,477 new medium-duty commercial vehicles, including 462 buses, in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in new Class 4 through 7 commercial vehicle sales was primarily a result of strong demand and increased production of commercial vehicles from the manufacturers we represent.

 

We sold 537 light-duty vehicles in the second quarter of 2024, an 18.8% increase compared to 452 light-duty vehicles sold in the second quarter of 2023.

 

We sold 1,723 used commercial vehicles in the second quarter of 2024, a 7.8% decrease compared to 1,869 used commercial vehicles sold in the second quarter of 2023. We experienced a decline in used commercial vehicle sales year-over-year due to low freight rates, more readily available new truck alternatives and elevated interest rates.

 

Commercial vehicle lease and rental revenues decreased $0.9 million, or 1.0%, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023.  This decrease in commercial vehicle lease and rental revenues was primarily a result of decreased rental vehicle utilization.

 

Finance and insurance revenues decreased $0.3 million, or 4.1%, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023. This decrease is primarily due to the mix of purchasers of commercial vehicles.  During the second quarter of 2024, most of our sales were to larger fleets, which usually arrange their own financing. We are more likely to provide financing to owner-operators and smaller fleets, which comprised a smaller percentage of commercial vehicle sales during the second quarter of 2024. Finance and insurance revenues have limited direct costs and, therefore, contribute a disproportionate share of our operating profits.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit decreased $21.5 million, or 5.2%, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 19.4% in the second quarter of 2024, from 20.7% in the second quarter of 2023. This decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales is a result of a change in our product sales mix. Commercial vehicle sales, a lower margin revenue item, increased as a percentage of total revenues to 64.1% in the second quarter of 2024, from 62.4% in the second quarter of 2023. Aftermarket Products and Services revenues, a higher margin revenue item, decreased as a percentage of total revenues to 31.0% in the second quarter of 2024, from 32.5% in the second quarter of 2023.

 

Gross margins from our Aftermarket Products and Services operations decreased to 37.5% in the second quarter of 2024, from 38.1% in the second quarter of 2023. Gross profit from our Aftermarket Products and Services operations decreased to $235.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, from $247.8 million in the second quarter of 2023. This decrease is primarily related to decreased demand resulting from the current freight recession and high interest rates. Historically, gross margins on parts sales range from 28% to 30% and gross margins on service and collision center operations range from 66% to 68%. Gross profits from parts sales represented 58.4% of total gross profit from Aftermarket Products and Services operations in the second quarter of 2024 and 60.5% in the second quarter of 2023. Service and collision center operations represented 38.8% of total gross profit from Aftermarket Products and Services operations in the second quarter of 2024 and 39.5% in the second quarter of 2023. We expect blended gross margins on Aftermarket Products and Services operations to range from 36.0% to 38.0% in 2024.

 

Gross margins on new Class 8 truck sales decreased to 8.6% in the second quarter of 2024, from 10.3% in the second quarter of 2023.  This decrease was primarily due to weak demand and elevated new truck inventory valuation reserves.  In 2024, we expect overall gross margins from new heavy-duty truck sales of approximately 8.5% to 9.5%. 

 

Gross margins on used commercial vehicle sales increased to 19.2% in the second quarter of 2024, from 11.8% in the second quarter of 2023.  This increase was primarily due to the successful execution of our used truck inventory and sales strategy.  We expect margins on used commercial vehicles to range between 15.0% and 20.0% in 2024. 

 

Gross Margins from truck lease and rental sales decreased to 28.5% in the second quarter of 2024 from 30.5% in the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily related to lower rental utilization.  We expect gross margins from lease and rental sales of approximately 28.0% to 30.0% during 2024.  Our policy is to depreciate our lease and rental fleet using a straight-line method over each customer’s contractual lease term. The lease unit is depreciated to a residual value that approximates fair value at the expiration of the lease term.

 

 

Gross Margins from truck lease and rental sales decreased to 28.5% in the second quarter of 2024 from 30.5% in the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily related to lower rental utilization. We expect gross margins from lease and rental sales of approximately 28.0% to 30.0% during 2024. We expect rental utilization to increase slightly in the third quarter and will be in line with historical utilization rates. As the age of our leasing and rental fleet continues to decrease with new vehicle production increasing, we expect our operating costs to continue to moderate. Our policy is to depreciate our lease and rental fleet using a straight-line method over each customer’s contractual lease term. The lease unit is depreciated to a residual value that approximates fair value at the expiration of the lease term.

 

Finance and insurance revenues and other revenues, as described above, have limited direct costs and, therefore, contribute a disproportionate share of gross profit.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased $5.3 million, or 2.1%, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023. This decrease primarily resulted from reductions to our operating expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 12.4% in the second quarter of 2024, from 12.8% in the second quarter of 2023. Annual SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues have ranged from approximately 12.4% to 14.4% over the last five years. In general, when new and used commercial vehicle revenues increase as a percentage of total revenues, SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues will be at the lower end of this range. For 2024, we expect SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues to range from 12.0% to 14.0%. For 2024, we expect the selling portion of SG&A expenses to be approximately 25.0% to 30.0% of new and used commercial vehicle gross profit.

 

Interest Expense, Net

 

    Net interest expense increased $7.2 million, or 59.1%, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023.  This increase in interest expense is a result of an increase in our vehicle inventory levels and elevated interest rates on our variable rate debt compared to the second quarter of 2023.  We expect net interest expense in 2024, compared to 2023, to increase due to increased borrowings and interest related to our working capital lines of credit and floor plan debt, but the amount of the increase will depend on inventory levels, interest rate fluctuations and the amount of cash available to make prepayments on our floor plan arrangements. 

 

Income before Income Taxes

 

As a result of the factors described above, income before income taxes decreased $25.5 million, or 19.5%, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes decreased $5.7 million, or 17.9%, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023. We provided for taxes at a 24.5% effective rate in the second quarter of 2024 and 24.5% in the second quarter of 2023. We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 24.0% to 25.0% of pretax income in 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our short-term cash requirements are primarily for working capital, inventory financing, the renovation and expansion of existing facilities and the construction or purchase of new facilities. Historically, these cash requirements have been met through the retention of profits, borrowings under our floor plan arrangements and bank financings. As of June 30, 2024, we had working capital of approximately $673.0 million, including $167.3 million in cash, available to fund our operations. We believe that these funds, together with expected cash flows from operations, are sufficient to meet our operating requirements for at least the next twelve months. From time to time, we utilize our excess cash on hand to pay down our outstanding borrowings under various credit agreements. The resulting interest earned on the floor plan credit agreement with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO Harris”) (the “Floor Plan Credit Agreement”) is recognized as an offset to our interest expense.

 

We continually evaluate our liquidity and capital resources based upon: (i) our cash and cash equivalents on hand; (ii) the funds that we expect to generate through future operations; (iii) current and expected borrowing availability under our secured line of credit, working capital lines of credit available under certain of our credit agreements and our Floor Plan Credit Agreement; and (iv) the potential impact of our capital allocation strategy and any contemplated or pending future transactions, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, equity repurchases, dividends, or other capital expenditures. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our debt service and working capital requirements, commitments and contingencies, debt repayments, acquisitions, capital expenditures and any operating requirements for at least the next twelve months.

 

We have a secured line of credit that provides for a maximum borrowing of $25.0 million. There were no advances outstanding under this secured line of credit on June 30, 2024, however, $18.9 million was pledged to secure various letters of credit related to self-insurance products, leaving $6.1 million available for future borrowings as of June 30, 2024.

 

Our long-term debt, floor plan financing agreements and our credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association the (“WF Credit Agreement”) require us to satisfy various financial ratios such as the leverage ratio, the asset coverage ratio, and the fixed charge coverage ratio.  As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all debt covenants related to debt secured by lease and rental units, our floor plan credit agreements and the WF Credit Agreement.  We do not anticipate any breach of these covenants in the foreseeable future.

 

We expect to purchase or lease commercial vehicles worth approximately $170.0 million to $180.0 million for our leasing operations during 2024, depending on customer demand. We also expect to make capital expenditures for the purchase of recurring items such as computers, shop tools and equipment and company vehicles of approximately $35.0 million to $40.0 million during 2024.

 

During the second quarter of 2024, we paid a cash dividend of $13.5 million. Additionally, on July 31, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.18 per share of Class A and Class B common stock, to be paid on September 10, 2024, to all shareholders of record as of August 13, 2024, which represents a 5.6% increase compared to the cash dividend we paid in the first quarter of 2024. We expect to continue paying cash dividends on a quarterly basis. However, there is no assurance as to future dividends because the declaration and payment of such dividends is subject to the business judgment of our Board of Directors and will depend on historic and projected earnings, capital requirements, covenant compliance and financial conditions and such other factors as our Board of Directors deem relevant.

 

 

On December 6, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing management to repurchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $150.0 million of our shares of Class A common stock and/or Class B common stock. In connection with the adoption of the new stock repurchase plan, we terminated the prior stock repurchase plan, which was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2023. Repurchases, if any, will be made at times and in amounts as we deem appropriate and may be made through open market transactions at prevailing market prices, privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The actual timing, number and value of repurchases under the stock repurchase program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, stock price and other factors, including those related to the ownership requirements of our dealership agreements with Peterbilt. As of June 30, 2024, we had repurchased $77.2 million of our shares of common stock under the current stock repurchase program. The current stock repurchase program expires on December 31, 2024, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

 

We anticipate funding the capital expenditures for the improvement and expansion of existing facilities and recurring expenses through our operating cash flows. We have the ability to fund the construction or purchase of new facilities through our operating cash flows or by financing.

 

We have no other material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2024. However, we will continue to purchase vehicles for our lease and rental operations and authorize capital expenditures for the improvement or expansion of our existing dealership facilities and construction or purchase of new facilities based on market opportunities.

On September 14, 2021, we entered into the WF Credit Agreement with the lenders signatory thereto (the “WF Lenders”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“WF”), as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “WF Agent”). Pursuant to the terms of the WF Credit Agreement (as amended), the WF Lenders have agreed to make up to $175.0 million of revolving credit loans for certain of our capital expenditures, including commercial vehicle purchases for our Idealease leasing and rental fleet, and general working capital needs. We expect to use the revolving credit loans available under the WF Credit Agreement primarily for the purpose of purchasing commercial vehicles for our Idealease lease and rental fleet. We may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts pursuant to the WF Credit Agreement from time to time until the maturity date. Borrowings under the WF Credit Agreement bear interest per annum, payable on each interest payment date, as defined in the WF Credit Agreement, at (A) the daily Simple, secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus (i) 1.25% or (ii) 1.5%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio or (B) on or after the SOFR transition date, the SOFR plus (i) 1.25% or (ii) 1.5%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. The WF Credit Agreement expires on September 14, 2026, although, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the WF Agent has the right to, or upon the request of the required lenders must, terminate the commitments and declare all outstanding principal and interest due and payable. We may terminate the commitments at any time. On June 30, 2024, we had approximately $164.6 million outstanding under the WF Credit Agreement.

 

On November 1, 2023, we entered into certain Second Amended and Restated Inventory Financing and Purchase Money Security Agreement with PACCAR Leasing Company, (“PLC”), a division of PACCAR Financial Corp., as amended on April 9, 2024 (the “PLC Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the PLC Agreement, PLC agreed to make up to $375.0 million of revolving credit loans to finance certain of our capital expenditures, including commercial vehicle purchases and other equipment to be leased or rented through our PacLease franchises. We may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts pursuant to the PLC Agreement from time to time until the maturity date, provided, however, that the outstanding principal amount on any date shall not exceed the borrowing base.  In addition, we must maintain a minimum balance of $190.0 million. Advances under the PLC Agreement bear interest per annum, payable on the fifth day of the following month, at our option, at either (A) the prime rate, minus 1.95%, provided that the floating rate of interest is subject to a floor of 0%, or (B) a fixed rate, to be determined between us and PLC in each instance of borrowing at a fixed rate. The PLC Agreement expires on December 1, 2025, although either party has the right to terminate the PLC Agreement at any time upon 180 days written notice.  On June 30, 2024, we had approximately $133.2 million outstanding under the PLC Agreement. 

 

 

Most of our commercial vehicle purchases are made on terms requiring payment to the manufacturer within 15 to 60 days or less from the date the commercial vehicles are invoiced from the factory. Navistar Financial Corporation and Peterbilt offer trade terms that provide an interest-free inventory stocking period for certain new commercial vehicles. This interest-free period is generally 15 to 60 days. If the commercial vehicle is not sold within the interest-free period, we then finance the commercial vehicle under the Floor Plan Credit Agreement. On September 14, 2021, we entered into Floor Plan Credit Agreement with BMO Harris and the lenders signatory thereto. The Floor Plan Credit Agreement includes an aggregate loan commitment of $1.0 billion. Prior to June 1, 2023, borrowings under the Floor Plan Credit Agreement bore interest at an annual rate equal to (A) the greater of (i) zero and (ii) one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), determined on the last day of the prior month, plus (B) 1.10% and were payable monthly. On May 31, 2023, we entered into the First Amendment to the Floor Plan Credit Agreement that changed the benchmark interest rate to SOFR. Effective June 1, 2023, borrowings under the Floor Plan Credit Agreement now bear interest per annum, payable monthly, at (A) the greater of (i) zero and (ii) SOFR, plus (B) 1.20%. Borrowings under the Floor Plan Credit Agreement for the purchase of used inventory are limited to $150.0 million and loans for working capital purposes are limited to $200.0 million. The Floor Plan Credit Agreement expires September 14, 2026, although BMO Harris has the right to terminate at any time upon 360 days written notice and we may terminate at any time, subject to specified limited exceptions. On June 30, 2024, we had approximately $1.0 billion outstanding under the Floor Plan Credit Agreement. The average daily outstanding borrowings under the Floor Plan Credit Agreement were $972.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. We utilize our excess cash on hand to pay down our outstanding borrowings under the Floor Plan Credit Agreement, and the resulting interest earned is recognized as an offset to our gross interest expense under the Floor Plan Credit Agreement.

 

On May 31, 2022, RTC Canada entered into that certain BMO Revolving Lease and Rental Credit Agreement (the “RTC Canada Revolving Credit Agreement”) with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”).  Pursuant to the terms of the RTC Canada Revolving Credit Agreement, BMO agreed to make up to $120.0 million CAD of revolving credit loans to finance certain of RTC Canada’s capital expenditures, including commercial vehicle purchases and other equipment to be leased or rented through RTC Canada’s Idealease franchise, with an additional $20.0 million CAD available upon the request of RTC Canada and consent of BMO.  Prior to June 1, 2024, advances under the RTC Canada Revolving Credit Agreement bore interest per annum, payable on the first business day of each calendar month, at the Canadian Offered Dollar Rate (“CDOR”), plus 1.35%.  On June 1, 2024, RTC Canada entered into the First Amendment to the RTC Revolving Credit Agreement that changed the benchmark interest rate to the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate (“CORRA”). Effective June 1, 2024, borrowing under the RTC Revolving Credit Agreement now bear interest per annum payable monthly at CORRA, plus 1.72%. The RTC Canada Revolving Credit Agreement expires September 14, 2026. On June 30, 2024, we had approximately $57.4 million CAD outstanding under the RTC Canada Revolving Credit Agreement.

 

On July 15, 2022, RTC Canada entered into that certain Amended and Restated BMO Wholesale Financing and Security Agreement (the “RTC Canada Floor Plan Agreement”) with BMO. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement as amended, BMO agreed to make up to $116.7 million CAD of revolving credit loans to finance RTC Canada’s purchase of new and used vehicle inventory. Loans to purchase used vehicle inventory are limited to twenty percent (20%) of the credit limit available at such time. RTC Canada may borrow, repay and reborrow loans from time to time until the maturity date, provided, however, that the outstanding principal amount on any date shall not exceed the credit limits set forth above with respect to new and used vehicles. Prior to June 1, 2024, borrowings with respect to advances required to be made in CAD dollars bore interest per annum, payable monthly, at CDOR, plus 0.90%. On June 1, 2024, we entered into the Second Amendment to the RTC Canada Floor Plan Agreement that changed the benchmark interest rate with respect to advances required to be made in CAD dollars to CORRA. Effective June 1, 2024, advances required to be made in CAD dollars under the RTC Canada Floor Plan Agreement now bear interest per annum, payable monthly, at CORRA, plus 1.27%. In addition, prior to June 1, 2023, advances required to be made in USD dollars bore interest, payable monthly, at LIBOR, plus 1.10%. On June 1, 2023, RTC Canada entered into the First Amendment to the RTC Canada Floor Plan Agreement that changed the benchmark interest rate in the case of an advances required to be made in USD dollars to SOFR. Effective June 1, 2023, advances required to be made in USD dollars under the RTC Canada Floor Plan Agreement bear interest per annum, payable monthly, at SOFR, plus 1.20%. The RTC Canada Floor Plan Agreement expires September 14, 2026. On June 30, 2024, we had approximately $72.3 million CAD outstanding under the RTC Canada Floor Plan Agreement. The average daily outstanding borrowings under the RTC Canada Floor Plan Credit Agreement were $62.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

 

Backlog

 

On June 30, 2024, our backlog of commercial vehicle orders was approximately $1,812.1 million, as compared to a backlog of commercial vehicle orders of approximately $4,041.6 million on June 30, 2023.  The decrease in our backlog primarily reflects the decreased demand for new Class 8 trucks resulting from production catching up to pent-up demand, low freight rates and high interest rates. Our backlog is determined quarterly by multiplying the number of new commercial vehicles for each particular type of commercial vehicle ordered by a customer at our Rush Truck Centers by the recent average selling price for that type of commercial vehicle.  We include only confirmed orders in our backlog.  However, such orders are subject to cancellation.  In the event of order cancellation, we have no contractual right to the total revenues reflected in our backlog.  The delivery time for a custom-ordered commercial vehicle varies depending on the truck specifications and demand for the model ordered.  We sell the majority of our new heavy-duty commercial vehicles by customer special order and we sell the majority of our medium- and light-duty commercial vehicles out of inventory.   Orders from several of our major fleet customers are included in our backlog as of June 30, 2024, and we expect to fill most of our backlog orders during 2024.  Given the difficult industry environment caused by freight rates and high interest rates, which are negatively impacting industry demand for new commercial vehicles, we believe that the longer it takes to fill our backlog, the greater the risk that a significant amount of commercial vehicle orders currently reflected in our backlog could be cancelled. 

 

Seasonality

 

Our Truck Segment is moderately seasonal. Seasonal effects on new commercial vehicle sales related to the seasonal purchasing patterns of any single customer type are mitigated by the diverse geographic locations of our dealerships and our diverse customer base, including regional and national fleets, local and state governments, corporations and owner-operators. However, Aftermarket Products and Services operations historically have experienced higher sales volumes in the second and third quarters.

 

Cyclicality

 

Our business is dependent on a number of factors, including general economic conditions, freight rates, fuel prices, interest rate fluctuations, credit availability, environmental and other government regulations and customer business cycles. Unit sales of new commercial vehicles have historically been subject to substantial cyclical variation based on these general economic conditions. According to data published by A.C.T. Research, total U.S. retail sales of new Class 8 commercial vehicles have ranged from a low of approximately 187,600 in 2013, to a high of approximately 281,440 in 2019. Through geographic expansion, concentration on higher margin Aftermarket Products and Services and diversification of our customer base, we have attempted to reduce the negative impact of adverse general economic conditions or cyclical trends affecting the Class 8 commercial vehicle industry on our earnings.

 

Environmental Standards and Other Governmental Regulations

 

We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations governing the following: discharges into the air and water; the operation and removal of underground and aboveground storage tanks; the use, handling, storage and disposal of hazardous substances, petroleum and other materials; and the investigation and remediation of environmental impacts. As with commercial vehicle dealerships generally, and vehicle service, parts and collision center operations in particular, our business involves the generation, use, storage, handling and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous materials or wastes and other environmentally sensitive materials. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, capital and operating expenditures and other costs in complying with such laws and regulations.

 

Our operations involving the use, handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous and nonhazardous materials are subject to the requirements of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, and comparable state statutes. Pursuant to these laws, federal and state environmental agencies have established approved methods for handling, storage, treatment, transportation, and disposal of regulated substances with which we must comply. Our business also involves the operation and use of aboveground and underground storage tanks. These storage tanks are subject to periodic testing, containment, upgrading and removal under RCRA and comparable state statutes. Furthermore, investigation or remediation may be necessary in the event of leaks or other discharges from current or former underground or aboveground storage tanks.

 

We may also have liability in connection with materials that were sent to third‑party recycling, treatment, or disposal facilities under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA, and comparable state statutes. These statutes impose liability for investigation and remediation of environmental impacts without regard to fault or the legality of the conduct that contributed to the impacts. Responsible parties under these statutes may include the owner or operator of the site where impacts occurred and companies that disposed, or arranged for the disposal, of the hazardous substances released at these sites. These responsible parties also may be liable for damages to natural resources. In addition, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the release of hazardous substances or other materials into the environment.

 

The federal Clean Water Act and comparable state statutes require containment of potential discharges of oil or hazardous substances and require preparation of spill contingency plans. Water quality protection programs govern certain discharges from some of our operations. Similarly, the federal Clean Air Act and comparable state statutes regulate emissions of various air emissions through permitting programs and the imposition of standards and other requirements.

 

 

The Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”), on behalf of the U.S. Department of Transportation, issued rules associated with reducing greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions and improving the fuel efficiency of medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses for current model years through 2027. In March 2024, the EPA issued additional rules associated with reducing GHG emissions from medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses for model years 2027 through 2032. In addition, in August 2021, the President of the United States issued an executive order intended to increase fuel efficiency, further reduce GHG emissions and speed up the development of “zero-emission” vehicles. The executive order calls for the EPA and the Secretary of Transportation to adopt new rules and regulations for commercial vehicles starting as early as model year 2027. Similarly, in June 2020, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) adopted a final rule that is intended to phase out the sale of internal combustion engine commercial vehicles over time by requiring a certain percentage of each manufacturer’s commercial vehicles sold within the state to be “zero-emission vehicles,” or “near-zero emission vehicles,” starting in model year 2024. In July 2023, CARB and various manufacturers of heavy-duty commercial vehicles and engines, including PACCAR, Navistar, Ford, Hino, Isuzu and Cummins, entered into the Clean Truck Partnership, whereby the manufacturers agreed to comply with CARB’s emission requirements where applicable, regardless of whether any entity challenges CARB’s rule-making authority, and CARB agreed to work with manufacturers to provide reasonable lead time to meet CARB’s requirements and before imposing new regulations. In addition, CARB agreed to align its nitrogen oxide emissions rules with the EPA’s, which go into effect starting in model year 2027, and modify certain of its 2024 nitrogen oxide emissions regulations currently in effect, with respect to which manufacturers may provide certain offsets to meet CARB’s emission target in exchange for the ability to sell legacy engines. Since July 2020, a group of seventeen U.S. states and the District of Columbia have entered into a joint memorandum of understanding that adopts at least a portion of CARB’s emissions regulations and commits each of them to work together to advance and accelerate the market for electric Class 3 through 8 commercial vehicles. Six of the states are states where we operate new commercial vehicle dealerships: California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Virginia. The signatories to the memorandum all agreed on a goal of ensuring that 100% of new Class 3 through 8 commercial vehicles are zero emission by 2050, with an interim target of 30% zero emission vehicles by 2030. Attaining these goals would likely require the adoption of new laws and regulations and we cannot predict at this time whether such laws and regulations would have an adverse impact on our business. Additional regulations, or CARB’s enforcement of its existing regulations, could result in increased compliance costs, additional operating restrictions, or changes in demand for our products and services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We do not believe that we currently have any material environmental liabilities or that compliance with environmental laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, soil and groundwater impacts are known to exist at some of our dealerships. Further, environmental laws and regulations are complex and subject to change. In addition, in connection with acquisitions, it is possible that we will assume or become subject to new or unforeseen environmental costs or liabilities, some of which may be material. In connection with our dispositions, or prior dispositions made by companies we acquire, we may retain exposure for environmental costs and liabilities, some of which may be material. Compliance with current or amended, or new or more stringent, laws or regulations, stricter interpretations of existing laws or the future discovery of environmental conditions could require additional expenditures by us, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. In addition, such laws could affect demand for the products that we sell.

 

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company due to adverse changes in financial market prices, including interest rate risk, and other relevant market rate or price risks.

 

We are exposed to market risk through interest rates related to our floor plan financing agreements, the WF Credit Agreement, the PLC Agreement and discount rates related to finance sales.  Our floor plan debt is based on SOFR and CORRA, the WF Credit Agreement is based on SOFR, the RTC Canada Revolving Agreement is based on CORRA and the PLC Agreement is based on the prime rate.  As of June 30, 2024, we had floor plan borrowings and borrowings from BMO Harris, WF, PLC and BMO in the amount of $1,385.2 million.  Assuming an increase or decrease in SOFR, CORRA or the prime rate of 100 basis points, annual interest expense could correspondingly increase or decrease by approximately $13.8 million. 

 

 

ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures.

 

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to Company management, including the principal executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, we are involved in litigation arising out of our operations in the ordinary course of business. We maintain liability insurance through self-insurance and third party excess insurance, including product liability coverage, in amounts deemed adequate by management. However, an uninsured or partially insured claim, or claim for which indemnification is not available, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. As of June 30, 2024, we believe that there are no pending claims or litigation, individually or in the aggregate, that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations for the fiscal period in which such resolution occurred.

 

ITEM 1A.  Risk Factors.

 

While we attempt to identify, manage and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Item 1A, Part I of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2023 Annual Report”) describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business that have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

There has been no material change in our risk factors disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report.

1 Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Rush Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All adjustments have been made to the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements, which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, are necessary for a fair presentation of its operating results. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. It is recommended that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim periods or the full fiscal year.

 

Authorized Shares

 

On May 16, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved the Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock from 60,000,000 to 105,000,000 and Class B Common Stock from 20,000,000 to 35,000,000.

 

Stock Split

 

On July 25, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split with respect to both the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock. The stock split was effected in the form of a stock dividend paid on August 28, 2023, to shareholders of record as of August 7, 2023. Holders of the Company’s common stock received an additional one-half share for each share of common stock held as of the record date. All share and per share data in this Form 10-Q have been adjusted to reflect the stock split as if it occurred on the first day of the earliest period presented.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiary, Rush Truck Centres of Canada Limited (“RTC Canada”), is the local currency, the Canadian dollar. Results of operations for RTC Canada are translated to USD using the average exchange rate on a monthly basis during each quarter. The assets and liabilities of RTC Canada are translated into USD using the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. The related translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

2 Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation arising out of its operations in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains liability insurance, through self-insurance and third-party excess insurance, including product liability coverage, in amounts deemed adequate by management. However, an uninsured or partially insured claim, or claim for which indemnification is not available, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. As of June 30, 2024, the Company believes that there are no pending claims or litigation, individually or in the aggregate, that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations for the fiscal period in which such resolution occurred.

5 Financial Instruments and Fair Value

 

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and floor plan notes payable. The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate fair value due either to their short-term nature or existence of variable interest rates, which approximate market rates. Certain methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of financial instruments as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The carrying value of current assets and current liabilities approximates the fair value due to the short maturity of these items.

 

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is based on secondary market indicators. Because the Company’s debt is not quoted, estimates are based on each obligation’s characteristics, including remaining maturities, variable interest rates, credit rating, collateral and liquidity. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the valuation measurement inputs of its long-term debt represent, at its lowest level, current market interest rates available to the Company for similar debt and the Company’s current credit standing. Thus, the carrying amount of such debt approximates fair value.

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

6 Segment Information

 

The Company currently has one reportable business segment - the Truck Segment. The Truck Segment includes the Company’s operation of a network of commercial vehicle dealerships throughout the United States and Ontario, Canada that provide an integrated one-stop source for the commercial vehicle needs of its customers, including retail sales of new and used commercial vehicles; aftermarket parts, service and collision center facilities; and financial services, including the financing of new and used commercial vehicle purchases, insurance products and truck leasing and rentals. The commercial vehicle dealerships are deemed a single reporting unit because they have similar economic characteristics. The Company’s chief operating decision maker considers the entire Truck Segment, not individual dealerships or departments within its dealerships, when making decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assessing its performance.

 

The Company also has revenues attributable to three other operating segments. These segments include a retail tire company, an insurance agency and a guest ranch operation and are included in the All Other column below. None of these segments has ever met any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates its performance based on income before income taxes, not including extraordinary items.

 

The following table contains summarized information about reportable segment revenues, segment income or loss from continuing operations and segment assets for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

7 Income Taxes

 

The Company had unrecognized income tax benefits totaling $6.7 million and $5.3 million as a component of accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total of which, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. An unfavorable settlement would require a charge to income tax expense and a favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to income tax expense. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had approximately $389,000 accrued for the payment of interest as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. No amounts were accrued for penalties.

 

The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2024, the tax years ended December 31, 2020 through 2023 remained subject to audit by federal tax authorities, and the tax years ended December 31, 2019 through 2023, remained subject to audit by state tax authorities.

8 Revenue

 

The Company’s non-lease and rental revenues are primarily generated from the sale of finished products to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single delivery element and revenues from such sales are recognized when the customer obtains control, which is typically when the finished product is delivered to the customer. The Company’s material revenue streams have been identified as the following: the sale of new and used commercial vehicles, arrangement of associated commercial vehicle financing and insurance contracts, the performance of commercial vehicle repair services and the sale of commercial vehicle parts. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.

Lease of Vehicles as Lessor

 

The Company primarily leases commercial vehicles that the Company owns to customers over periods of one to ten years. The Company does not separate lease and nonlease components. Nonlease components typically consist of maintenance and licensing for the commercial vehicle. The variable nonlease components are generally based on mileage. Some leases contain an option for the lessee to purchase the commercial vehicle at the end of the lease term.

 

The Company’s policy is to depreciate its lease and rental fleet using a straight-line method over each customer’s contractual lease term. The lease unit is depreciated to a residual value that approximates fair value at the expiration of the lease term. This policy results in the Company realizing reasonable gross margins while the unit is in service and a corresponding gain or loss on sale when the unit is sold at the end of the lease term.

 

Lease and rental income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 consisted of the following (in thousands):

11 Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

The Company establishes an allowance for credit losses to present the net amount of accounts receivable expected to be collected. Under Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the Company is required to remeasure expected credit losses for financial instruments held on the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts.

 

Accounts receivable consists primarily of commercial vehicle sales receivables, manufacturers’ receivables and leasing, parts and service sales receivables and other trade receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses based on the probability of default, its historical rate of losses, aging and current economic conditions. The Company writes off account balances when it has exhausted reasonable collection efforts and determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. These write-offs are charged against the allowance for credit losses.
