ADDISON, Texas, Aug. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Daseke, Inc. (NASDAQ:DSKE) (NASDAQ:DSKEW), the largest owner and a leading consolidator of
flatbed and specialized transportation solutions in North America, today announced earnings results for the 2017 second quarter.
Highlights
- Sequentially, second quarter 2017 revenue improved 23 percent over first quarter 2017, a $37 million increase.
- Continued execution on consolidation strategy with the addition of two operating companies during the second quarter and one
on July 1, 2017.
- Improving 2017 industry environment with favorable rate trends.
- Strong segment performance, with Flatbed Solutions segment leading the way.
- Acquisition pipeline remains robust for continued execution of growth strategy.
- Daseke remains on track to achieve its 2017 pro forma Adjusted EBITDA target of $140 million.1
Revenue for the quarter was $197.3 million compared with $170.4 million for the same period in 2016. Revenue for the second
quarter of 2017 increased 15.8 percent year over year and improved 23 percent sequentially over 2017 first quarter revenue of
$160.4 million.
Net loss was $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared with net income of $1.0 million for the prior year and a net
loss of $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2017. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("Adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $24.3 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared with $25.2 million
for the year-ago period. Adjusted EBITDA declined 3.7 percent year over year, and improved 38.1 percent sequentially over the
Adjusted EBITDA totals from the 2017 first quarter of $17.6 million.
Acquisitions
During the quarter, Daseke completed the acquisition of two companies effective May 1, 2017, as discussed in the first quarter
2017 earnings release. On July 5, 2017 Daseke announced the acquisition of The Steelman Companies, bringing the number of
consolidated companies to 12.
Based on the 2016 financial results, the combined 2016 estimated2 revenue, net income, and Adjusted EBITDA of the
three acquired companies totals $165 million, $3.1 million and $20 million, respectively.3 Approximately 52
percent of the combined revenue of the three acquired companies is estimated to be asset-light or logistics related.
Including the estimated 2016 financial results of all Daseke operating companies, Daseke’s 2016 revenue and net loss would
have been $818 million and $9.2 million,4 respectively.5 This represents a 25 percent increase and a 25
percent decrease, respectively, as compared to actual 2016 results. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $108 million, a 22
percent increase as compared to actual 2016 results.
Management Comments
“As expected, we saw sequential improvement in our second quarter 2017 results versus the first quarter of 2017, with
improvements in revenue, net loss and Adjusted EBITDA, which we believe presents an accurate snapshot of our performance trend and
growth,” said Don Daseke, chairman, president and CEO.
“We anticipate that rates will continue to improve throughout 2017, with much of the recovery expected to occur in the third and
fourth quarters,” Daseke said. “Based on the macro trends we are seeing, and the improvement in the overall flatbed and
specialized transportation market, we are reiterating our 2017 pro forma Adjusted EBITDA target of $140 million, after giving
effect to acquisitions made during 2017.
“As previously announced, during the second quarter we continued our industry consolidation with the addition of two outstanding
companies to the Daseke family of flatbed and specialized transportation companies: The Schilli Companies, headquartered in
Indiana, and Canada-based Big Freight Systems Inc., headquartered in Manitoba,” Daseke said. “We followed with a third
addition on July 1, 2017 of The Steelman Companies, headquartered in Missouri. The Steelman Companies boast 26 years of
operating history in flatbed and heavy haul freight, and its Group One segment specializes in transporting roll-on powersports,
industrial warehousing and 10-wheel drive-away services.
“These exceptional companies reflect Daseke’s continued strategic growth through the addition of best-in-class operators that
enhance both our geographic footprint and our service capabilities in the flatbed and specialized transportation industry. We
look forward to continuing our consolidation strategy and growing our market share within this highly fragmented $133 billion
industry,” Daseke said.
Segment Results
Second quarter 2017 revenue for the Flatbed Solutions segment improved 5.8 percent to $86.9 million compared with $82.1 million
for the 2016 period. Operating income for the second quarter of 2017 was $6.3 million, an 18 percent increase from operating
income of $5.4 million for the same period last year. Total miles for Flatbed Solutions during the 2017 second quarter were 38.2
million, compared with 39.1 million miles reported for the same period last year.
The Company’s Specialized Solutions segment posted revenue of $112 million for the 2017 second quarter, and $89.5 million for
the year-ago period, an increase of 25 percent. Second quarter operating income for the segment was $4.6 million compared
with $5.1 million for the 2016 second quarter. Total miles for the Specialized Solutions segment were 31.4 million for the
second quarter of 2017, an increase of 23.5 percent over the second quarter total of 25.4 million miles.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, free cash flow and adjusted
operating ratio. Other companies in Daseke’s industry may define these non-GAAP measures differently than Daseke does, and as a
result, it may be difficult to use these non-GAAP measures to compare the performance of those companies to Daseke’s performance.
Daseke’s management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in
accordance with GAAP and instead relies primarily on Daseke’s GAAP results and uses non-GAAP measures supplementally.
Daseke defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, including
other fees and charges associated with indebtedness, net of interest income, (iii) income taxes, (iv) acquisition-related
transaction expenses (including due diligence costs, legal, accounting and other advisory fees and costs, retention and severance
payments and financing fees and expenses), (v) stock-based compensation, (vi) non-cash impairments, (vii) losses (gains) on sales
of defective revenue equipment out of the normal replacement cycle, (viii) impairments related to defective revenue equipment sold
out of the normal replacement cycle, (ix) withdrawn initial public offering-related expenses, and (x) expenses related to the
business combination that was consummated in February 2017 and related transactions. Daseke defines Adjusted EBITDAR as Adjusted
EBITDA plus tractor operating lease charges and free cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less net capital expenditures (capital
expenditures less proceeds from equipment sales).
Daseke’s board of directors and executive management team use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR as key measures of its
performance and for business planning. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR assist them in comparing Daseke’s operating performance
over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because they remove from Daseke’s operating results the impact of items that,
in their opinion, do not reflect Daseke’s core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR also allows Daseke to
more effectively evaluate its operating performance by allowing it to compare the results of operations against its peers without
regard to its or its peers’ financing method or capital structure. Adjusted EBITDAR is used to view operating results before lease
charges as these charges can vary widely among trucking companies due to differences in the way that trucking companies finance
their fleet acquisitions. Daseke’s method of computing Adjusted EBITDA is substantially consistent with that used in its debt
covenants and also is routinely reviewed by its management for that purpose.
Daseke believes its presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR is useful because they provide investors and industry
analysts the same information that Daseke uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating performance. However,
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are not substitutes for, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), cash flows from operating
activities, operating income or any other measure prescribed by GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are significant components
in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital, tax structure and the
historic costs of depreciable assets. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR should not be considered measures of the income generated
by Daseke’s business or discretionary cash available to it to invest in the growth of its business.
Daseke’s board of directors and executive management team use free cash flow to assess the Company’s performance and ability to
fund operations and make additional investments. Free cash flow represents the cash that its business generates from operations,
before taking into account cash movements that are non-operational. Daseke believes its presentation of free cash flow is useful
because it is one of several indicators of Daseke’s ability to service debt, make investments and/or return capital to its
stockholders. Daseke also believes that free cash flow is one of several benchmarks used by investors and industry analysts for
comparison of performance in its industry, although Daseke’s measure of free cash flow may not be directly comparable to similar
measures reported by other companies. Furthermore, free cash flow is not a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income
(loss), cash flows from operating activities, operating income or any other measure prescribed by GAAP, and there are limitations
to using non-GAAP measures such as free cash flow. Accordingly, free cash flow should not be considered a measure of the income
generated by Daseke’s business or discretionary cash available to it to invest in the growth of its business.
Daseke defines adjusted operating ratio as (a) total operating expenses (i) less fuel surcharges, acquisition-related
transaction expenses, non-cash impairment charges and withdrawn initial public offering-related expenses and (ii) further adjusted
for the net impact of the step-up in basis resulting from acquisitions (such as increased depreciation and amortization expense),
as a percentage of (b) total revenue excluding fuel surcharge revenue.
Daseke’s board of directors and executive management team view adjusted operating ratio, and its key drivers of revenue quality,
growth, expense control and operating efficiency, as a very important measure of Daseke’s performance. Daseke believes fuel
surcharge is often volatile and eliminating the impact of this source of revenue (by eliminating fuel surcharge from revenue and by
netting fuel surcharge against fuel expense) affords a more consistent basis for comparing its results of operations between
periods. Daseke also believes excluding acquisition-related transaction expenses, additional depreciation and amortization expenses
as a result of acquisitions, non-cash impairments and withdrawn initial public offering-related expenses enhances the comparability
of its performance between periods.
Daseke believes its presentation of adjusted operating ratio is useful because it provides investors and industry analysts the
same information that Daseke uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating profitability. However, adjusted
operating ratio is not a substitute for, or more meaningful than, operating ratio, operating margin or any other measure derived
solely from GAAP measures, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as adjusted operating ratio.
You can find the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures in the Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Measures tables below. We have not reconciled non-GAAP forward looking measures to their corresponding GAAP measures
because certain items that impact these measures are unavailable or cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable
efforts.

EBITDA of any acquired business during 2017 for the period beginning on January 1, 2017 and ending on the acquisition date.
2 Based on the acquired companies’ internally prepared financial statements.
3 Net income of $3.1 million plus: depreciation and amortization of $14.4 million, interest of $1.7 million and
acquisition-related transaction expenses of $0.3 million results in Adjusted EBITDA of $19.5 million.

for income taxes of $ 1.2 million, acquisition-related transaction expenses of $0.6 million, impairment of $2.0 million, withdrawn
initial public offering-related expenses of $3.1 million, net losses on sales of defective revenue equipment out of the normal
replacement cycle of $0.7 million, impairments related to defective revenue equipment sold out of the normal replacement cycle of
$0.2 million and expenses related to the business combination and related transactions of $3.5 million results in Adjusted EBITDA
of $107.6 million.
