RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

(A) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) and all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”), and variable interest entities (VIEs) required to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. These financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year.

(B) ACCOUNTING CHANGES

In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance which amends the criteria for allocating a contract’s consideration to individual services or products in multiple-deliverable arrangements. The guidance requires that the best estimate of selling price be used when vendor specific objective or third-party evidence for deliverables cannot be determined. This guidance is effective for us for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after December 31, 2010. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(C) ACQUISITIONS

Hill Hire plc — On June 8, 2011, we acquired all of the common stock of Hill Hire plc (Hill Hire), a U.K. based full service leasing, rental and maintenance company for a purchase price of $251.5 million, net of cash acquired, all of which was paid as of June 30, 2011. The acquisition included Hill Hire’s fleet of approximately 8,000 full service lease and 5,700 rental vehicles, and approximately 400 contractual customers. The fleet included 9,700 trailers. The initial recording of the transaction was based on preliminary valuation assessments and is subject to change. The combined network operates under the Ryder name, complementing our Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment market coverage in the U.K. Transaction costs related to the Hill Hire acquisition, all of which were included in “Operating expense” in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings, totaled $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The preliminary purchase price allocations and resulting impact on the June 30, 2011 Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet relating to the Hill Hire acquisition were as follows:


	(In thousands)

Revenue earning equipment	$	201,429
Operating property and equipment		18,780
Customer relationships and other intangibles		5,567

Pro Forma Information — The operating results of Hill Hire have been included in the consolidated condensed financial statements from the date of acquisition. The following table provides the unaudited pro forma revenues, net earnings and earnings per common share as if the results of the Hill Hire acquisition had been included in operations commencing January 1, 2010. This pro forma information is not necessarily indicative either of the combined results of operations that actually would have been realized had the acquisition been consummated during the periods for which the pro forma information is presented, or of future results.

B.I.T. Leasing Inc.— On April 1, 2011, we acquired the assets of B.I.T. Leasing, Inc. (“BIT”), a full service truck leasing and fleet services company located in Hayward, California, for a purchase price of $13.8 million, of which $13.2 million was paid as of June 30, 2011. This agreement complements a 2010 acquisition whereby we acquired a portion of BIT’s fleet of full service lease and rental vehicles and contractual customers. The combination of both acquisitions included BIT’s fleet of approximately 490 full service lease and rental vehicles, 70 contract maintenance vehicles and 130 contractual customers. The initial recording of the transaction was based on preliminary valuation assessments and is subject to change. As of June 30, 2011, goodwill and customer relationship intangibles related to the BIT acquisition were $1.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The combined network operates under the Ryder name, complementing our FMS business segment market coverage in California.

The Scully Companies — On January 28, 2011, we acquired the common stock of The Scully Companies, Inc.’s (“Scully”) FMS business and the assets of Scully’s Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) business. The acquisition included Scully’s fleet of approximately 1,800 full service lease and 300 rental vehicles, and approximately 200 contractual customers. The purchase price was $91.2 million, of which $71.2 million was paid as of June 30, 2011. During 2011, the purchase price was increased by $0.5 million due to the settlement of working capital related items. The purchase price includes $14.4 million in contingent consideration to be paid to the seller provided acquired customers are retained for a specified period. The contingent consideration is expected to be paid by the end of the year. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the contingent consideration has been reflected within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. See Note (N), “Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information. The initial recording of the transaction was based on preliminary valuation assessments and is subject to change. As of June 30, 2011, goodwill and customer relationship intangibles related to the Scully acquisition were $27.8 million and $11.1 million, respectively. The combined network operates under the Ryder name, complementing our FMS and DCC business segments market coverage in the Western United States.

Carmenita Leasing, Inc. — On January 10, 2011, we acquired the assets of Carmenita Leasing, Inc. (“Carmenita”), a full service leasing and rental business located in Santa Fe Springs, California, which included a fleet of approximately 190 full service lease and rental vehicles, and 60 contractual customers for a purchase price of $9.0 million, of which $8.6 million was paid as of June 30, 2011. The initial recording of the transaction was based on preliminary valuation assessments and is subject to change. As of June 30, 2011, goodwill and customer relationship intangibles related to the Carmenita acquisition were $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The combined network operates under the Ryder name, complementing our FMS business segment market coverage in California.

Total Logistic Control — On December 31, 2010, we acquired all of the common stock of Total Logistic Control (“TLC”), a leading provider of comprehensive supply chain solutions to food, beverage, and consumer packaged goods manufacturers in the U.S.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(unaudited)

TLC provides customers a broad suite of end-to-end services, including distribution management, contract packaging services and solutions engineering. This acquisition enhances our Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) capabilities and growth prospects in the areas of packaging and warehousing, including temperature-controlled facilities. The purchase price was $208.0 million, of which $3.4 million was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the purchase price was reduced by $0.6 million due to contractual adjustments in acquired deferred taxes. The purchase price is subject to further adjustments based on resolution of certain items with the seller. As of June 30, 2011, goodwill and customer relationship intangibles related to the TLC acquisition were $134.0 million and $35.0 million, respectively.

Pro forma information for the 2011 acquisitions, other than Hill Hire, is not disclosed because the effect of these acquisitions is not significant. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we paid $0.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, related to other acquisitions completed in the prior years.

(D) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In 2009, we ceased SCS service operations in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and European markets. Accordingly, results of these operations, financial position and cash flows are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented either in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements or notes thereto.

Summarized results of discontinued operations were as follows:


	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
	(In thousands)

Pre-tax loss from discontinued operations	$	(969	)		(832	)	$	(1,716	)		(1,337	)
Income tax benefit		88			73			103			79

Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(881	)		(759	)	$	(1,613	)		(1,258	)

Results of discontinued operations in 2011 and 2010 included losses related to adverse legal developments, professional fees and administrative fees associated with our discontinued South American operations.

We are subject to various claims, tax assessments and administrative proceedings associated with our discontinued operations. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. However, at this time, it is not possible for us to determine fully the ultimate effect of all unasserted claims and assessments on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Additional adjustments and expenses may be recorded through discontinued operations in future periods as further relevant information becomes available. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, we do not expect that any resulting liability will have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The following is a summary of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations:


	June 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010
	(In thousands)
Assets:
Total current assets, primarily other receivables	$	4,639		4,710
Total assets	$	6,535		6,346

Liabilities:
Total current liabilities, primarily other payables	$	5,119		4,018
Total liabilities	$	9,012		7,882

(E) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Share-based incentive awards are provided to employees under the terms of various share-based compensation plans (collectively, the “Plans”). The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards under the Plans principally include at-the-money stock options, nonvested stock and cash awards. Share-based compensation expense is generally recorded in “Salaries and employee-related costs” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

The following table provides information on share-based compensation expense and income tax benefits recognized during the periods:


	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
	(In thousands)

Stock option and stock purchase plans	$	2,357			2,240		$	4,604			4,493

Income tax benefit		(1,415	)		(1,415	)		(2,787	)		(2,741	)

Share-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	2,820			2,661		$	5,553			5,276

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 700,000 and 900,000 stock options, respectively, were granted under the Plans. These awards generally vest evenly over a three year period from the date of grant and have contractual terms of seven years. The fair value of each option award at the date of grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model. The weighted-average fair value per option granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $12.85 and $8.93, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 140,000 and 190,000 market-based restricted stock rights, respectively, were granted under the Plans. Employees only receive the grant of stock if Ryder’s cumulative average total shareholder return (TSR) at least meets the S&P 500 cumulative average TSR over an applicable three-year period. The fair value of the market-based restricted stock rights was estimated using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation. The fair value of the market-based awards was determined and fixed on the grant date and is based on the likelihood of Ryder achieving the market-based condition. The weighted-average fair value per market-based restricted stock right granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $25.29 and $15.50, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 150,000 and 40,000 time-vested restricted stock rights and restricted stock units (RSU), respectively, were granted under the plans. The time-vested restricted stock rights entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the awards vest over a three-year period. The fair value of the time-vested awards is determined and fixed on the date of grant based on Ryder’s stock price on the date of grant. The weighted-average fair value per time-vested restricted stock right and RSU granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $50.95 and $39.16, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, employees who received market-based restricted stock rights also received market-based cash awards. The awards have the same vesting provisions as the market-based restricted stock rights except that Ryder’s TSR must at least meet the TSR of the 33rd percentile of the S&P 500. The cash awards are accounted for as liability awards under the share-based compensation accounting guidance as the awards are based upon the performance of our common stock and are settled in cash. As a result, the liability is adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the cash awards was estimated using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation.

The following table is a summary of compensation expense recognized for cash awards in addition to the share-based compensation expense reported in the previous table:


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
	(In thousands)

Cash awards	$	360		678	$	820		772

Total unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to share-based compensation arrangements at June 30, 2011 was $33.7 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

(F) EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Our nonvested stock are considered participating securities since the share-based awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividend equivalents irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations:


	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010

(H) DIRECT FINANCING LEASE RECEIVABLES

We lease revenue earning equipment to customers for periods ranging from three to seven years for trucks and tractors and up to ten years for trailers. The majority of our leases are classified as operating leases. However, some of our revenue earning equipment leases are classified as direct financing leases and, to a lesser extent, sales-type leases. The net investment in direct financing and sales-type leases consisted of:


	June 30,			December 31,
	2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Total minimum lease payments receivable	$	560,210			548,419
Less: Executory costs		(170,452	)		(171,076	)

Minimum lease payments receivable		389,758			377,343
Less: Allowance for uncollectibles		(696	)		(784	)

Net minimum lease payments receivable		389,062			376,559
Unguaranteed residuals		62,556			57,898
Less: Unearned income		(97,175	)		(96,522	)

Net investment in direct financing and sales-type leases		354,443			337,935
Current portion		(67,692	)		(63,304	)

Non-current portion	$	286,751			274,631

Our direct financing lease customers operate in a wide variety of industries, and we have no significant customer concentrations in any one industry. We assess credit risk for all of our customers including those who lease equipment under direct financing leases. Credit risk is assessed using an internally developed model which incorporates credit scores from third party providers and our own custom risk ratings and is updated on a monthly basis. The external credit scores are developed based on the customer’s historical payment patterns and an overall assessment of the likelihood of delinquent payments. Our internal ratings are weighted based on the industry that the customer operates, company size, years in business, and other credit-related indicators (i.e. profitability, cash flow, liquidity, tangible net worth, etc.). Any one of the following factors may result in a customer being classified as high risk: i) the customer has a history of late payments; ii) the customer has open lawsuits, liens or judgments; iii) the customer has been in business less than 3 years; and iv) the customer operates in an industry with low barriers to entry. For those customers who are designated as high risk, we typically require deposits to be paid in advance in order to mitigate our credit risk. Additionally, our receivables are collateralized by the vehicle’s fair value, which further mitigates our credit risk.

The following table presents the credit risk profile by creditworthiness category of our direct financing lease receivables:


	June 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010
	(In thousands)
Very low risk to low risk	$	112,284		91,993

(1)		Revenue earning equipment, net includes vehicles acquired under capital leases of $25.4 million, less accumulated depreciation of $15.2 million, at June 30, 2011, and $29.2 million, less accumulated depreciation of $18.5 million, at December 31, 2010.

At the end of 2010, we completed our annual review of residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment. Based on the results of our analysis, we adjusted the estimated residual values of certain classes of revenue earning equipment effective January 1, 2011. The change in estimated residual values increased pre-tax earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 by approximately $1.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of accelerated depreciation for select vehicles that are expected to be sold by the end of 2011. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized $1.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of accelerated depreciation for select vehicles that were expected to be sold by the end of 2010.

	$	207,434			154,257			19,808		381,499

Purchase accounting adjustments related primarily to changes in deferred tax liabilities and evaluations of the physical and market condition of operating property and equipment. We did not recast the December 31, 2010 balance sheet as the adjustments are not material.

We assess goodwill for impairment on April 1^st of each year or more often if deemed necessary. On April 1, 2011, we completed our annual goodwill impairment test and determined there was no impairment.

(L) INCOME TAXES

Uncertain Tax Positions

We are subject to tax audits in numerous jurisdictions in the U.S. and foreign countries. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. In the normal course of business, we are subject to challenges from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other tax authorities regarding amounts of taxes due. These challenges may alter the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions, or the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. As part of our calculation of the provision for income taxes on earnings, we recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions that are at least more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Such calculations require management to make estimates and judgments with respect to the ultimate outcome of a tax audit. Actual results could vary materially from these estimates.

The following is a summary of tax years that are no longer subject to examination:

Federal — audits of our U.S. federal income tax returns are closed through fiscal year 2006.

State — for the majority of states, we are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2007.

Foreign — we are no longer subject to foreign tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2003 in Canada, 2001 in Brazil, 2006 in Mexico and 2008 in the U.K., which are our major foreign tax jurisdictions. In Brazil, we were assessed $17.8 million, including penalties and interest, related to the tax due on the sale of our outbound auto carriage business in 2001. On November 11, 2010, the Administrative Tax Court dismissed the assessment. The tax authority has filed a motion to review the decision and the matter therefore remains pending before the Administrative Tax Court. We believe it is more likely than not that our tax position will ultimately be sustained and no amounts have been reserved for this matter.

(unaudited)

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding the federal benefit received from state positions) was $63.1 million and $61.2 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign tax positions may decrease by $2.2 million by June 30, 2012, if audits are completed or tax years close.

Like-Kind Exchange Program

We have a like-kind exchange program for certain of our revenue earning equipment operating in the U.S. Pursuant to the program, we dispose of vehicles and acquire replacement vehicles in a form whereby tax gains on disposal of eligible vehicles are deferred. To qualify for like-kind exchange treatment, we exchange through a qualified intermediary eligible vehicles being disposed of with vehicles being acquired, allowing us to generally carryover the tax basis of the vehicles sold (“like-kind exchanges”). The program results in a material deferral of federal and state income taxes. As part of the program, the proceeds from the sale of eligible vehicles are restricted for the acquisition of replacement vehicles and other specified applications. Due to the structure utilized to facilitate the like-kind exchanges, the qualified intermediary that holds the proceeds from the sales of eligible vehicles and the entity that holds the vehicles to be acquired under the program are required to be consolidated in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, these consolidated entities had total assets, primarily revenue earning equipment, and total liabilities, primarily accounts payable, of $86.7 million and $49.5 million, respectively.

Tax Law Changes

On May 25, 2011 the State of Michigan enacted changes to its tax system, which included a repeal of the Michigan Business Tax and replaced it with a corporate income tax. The impact of this change resulted in a non-cash charge to deferred income taxes and a decrease to earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 of $5.4 million.

On January 13, 2011, the state of Illinois enacted changes to its tax system, which included an increase to the corporate income tax rate from 4.8% to 7.0%. The impact of this change resulted in a non-cash charge to deferred income taxes and a decrease to earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $1.2 million.

Effective Tax Rate

Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2011 was 45.5% compared with 41.4% in the same period of the prior year. Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 43.7% compared with 41.8% in the same period of the prior year. Our provision for income taxes and effective income tax rate from continuing operations were negatively impacted by tax law changes in the States of Michigan (second quarter) and Illinois (first quarter). The increase in our effective tax rate was partially offset by a higher proportionate amount of earnings in lower tax rate jurisdictions and lower contingent tax accruals.

(1)		We had unamortized original issue discounts of $10.3 million and $10.5 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

(2)		The notional amount of executed interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $550 million and $250 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

In June 2011, we executed a new $900 million global revolving credit facility with a syndicate of twelve lending institutions led by Bank of America N.A., Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., BNP Paribas, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., Royal Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. This facility replaces an $875 million credit facility that was scheduled to mature in April 2012. The new global credit facility matures in June 2016 and is used primarily to finance working capital and provide support for the issuance of unsecured commercial paper in the U.S. and Canada. This facility can also be used to issue up to $75 million in letters of credit (there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility at June 30, 2011). At our option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on LIBOR, prime, federal funds or local equivalent rates. The agreement provides for annual facility fees, which range from 10.0 basis points to 32.5 basis points, and are based on Ryder’s long-term credit ratings. The current annual facility fee is 15.0 basis points, which applies to the total facility size of $900 million. The credit facility contains no provisions limiting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to Ryder’s business operations; however, the credit facility does contain standard representations and warranties, events of default, cross-default provisions and certain affirmative and negative covenants. In order to maintain availability of funding, we must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated tangible net worth, of less than or equal to 300%. Tangible net worth, as defined in the credit facility, includes 50% of our deferred federal income tax liability and excludes the book value of our intangibles. The ratio at June 30, 2011 was 218%. At June 30, 2011, $366.1 million was available under the credit facility, net of the support for commercial paper borrowings.

Our global revolving credit facility permits us to refinance short-term commercial paper obligations on a long-term basis. Settlement of short-term commercial paper obligations not expected to require the use of working capital are classified as long-term as we have both the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we classified $531.9 million and $367.9 million, respectively, of short-term commercial paper as long-term debt.

In May 2011, we issued $350 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in June 2017. If the notes are downgraded following, and as a result of, a change in control, the note holder can require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the issuance of the medium term notes, we entered into three interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million maturing in June 2017. Refer to Note (O),”Derivatives,” for additional information.

In February 2011, we issued $350 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in March 2015. If the notes are downgraded following, and as a result of, a change in control, the note holder can require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the issuance of the medium term notes, we entered into two interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million maturing in March 2015. Refer to Note (O),”Derivatives,” for additional information.

We have a trade receivables purchase and sale program, pursuant to which we sell certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to a bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiary of Ryder, that in turn sells, on a revolving basis, an ownership interest in certain of these accounts receivable to a receivables conduit or committed purchasers. The subsidiary is considered a VIE and is consolidated based on our control of the entity’s activities. We use this program to provide additional liquidity to fund our operations, particularly when it is cost effective to do so. The costs under the program may vary based on changes in interest rates. The available proceeds that may be received under the program are limited to $175 million. If no event occurs which causes early termination, the 364-day program will expire on October 28, 2011. The program contains provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations or the collectibility of the collateralized receivables. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no amounts were outstanding under the program. Sales of receivables under this program will be accounted for as secured borrowings based on our continuing involvement in the transferred assets.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding totaling $265.7 million and $264.8 million, respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for these items, as well as the level of inputs used to measure fair value:

Investments held in Rabbi Trusts — The investments primarily include mutual funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. Shares of mutual funds were valued based on quoted market prices, which represents the net asset value of the shares and were therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Interest rate swaps — The derivatives are pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swaps based on the LIBOR rate and are designated as fair value hedges. Fair value was based on a model-driven income approach using the LIBOR rate at each interest payment date, which was observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swaps. Therefore, our interest rate swaps were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign currency forward contract — The derivative is a forward foreign currency exchange contract used to mitigate the risk of foreign currency movements on an intercompany transaction. Fair value was based on a model-driven valuation using observable forward foreign exchange rates, which were observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the contract. Therefore, our foreign currency exchange contract was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Contingent consideration — Fair value was based on the income approach and uses significant inputs that are not observable in the market. These inputs are based on our expectations as to what amount we will pay based on contractual provisions. Therefore, the liability was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. There has been no change in the fair value of the liability during 2011. Refer to Note (C), “Acquisitions,” for additional information.

The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the levels of inputs used to measure fair value:

(2)		Total losses represent fair value adjustments for all vehicles held for sale throughout the period for which fair value was less than carrying value.

Revenue earning equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses to reflect changes in fair value are presented within “Depreciation expense” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, we stratify our fleet by vehicle type (tractors, trucks and trailers), weight class, age and other relevant characteristics and create classes of similar assets for analysis purposes. Fair value was determined based upon recent market

prices obtained from our own sales experience for sales of each class of similar assets and vehicle condition. Therefore, our revenue earning equipment held for sale was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair value of total debt (excluding capital lease obligations) at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was approximately $3.40 billion and $2.86 billion, respectively. For publicly-traded debt, estimates of fair value were based on market prices. For other debt, fair value was estimated based on rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

(O) DERIVATIVES

Interest Rate Swaps

In May 2011, we issued $350 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in June 2017. Concurrently, we entered into three interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million maturing in June 2017. The swaps were designated as fair value hedges whereby we receive fixed interest rate payments in exchange for making variable interest rate payments. The differential to be paid or received is accrued and recognized as interest expense. At June 30, 2011, the interest rate swap agreements effectively changed $150 million of fixed-rate debt instruments with an interest rate of 3.50% to LIBOR-based floating-rate debt at a weighted-average interest rate of 1.50%. Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are offset by changes in the fair value of the debt instrument. Accordingly, there is no ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swaps.

In February 2011, we issued $350 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in March 2015. Concurrently, we entered into two interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million maturing in March 2015. The swaps were designated as fair value hedges whereby we receive fixed interest rate payments in exchange for making variable interest rate payments. The differential to be paid or received is accrued and recognized as interest expense. At June 30, 2011, the interest rate swap agreements effectively changed $150 million of fixed-rate debt instruments with an interest rate of 3.15% to LIBOR-based floating-rate debt at a weighted-average interest rate of 1.42%. Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are offset by changes in the fair value of the debt instrument. Accordingly, there is no ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swaps.

In February 2008, we issued $250 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in March 2013. Concurrently, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $250 million maturing in March 2013. The swap was designated as a fair value hedge whereby we receive fixed interest rate payments in exchange for making variable interest rate payments. The differential to be paid or received is accrued and recognized as interest expense. At June 30, 2011, the interest rate swap agreement effectively changed $250 million of fixed-rate debt with an interest rate of 6.00% to LIBOR-based floating-rate debt at a rate of 2.59%. Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap are offset by changes in the fair value of the debt instrument. Accordingly, there is no ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swap.

The location and amount of gains (losses) on interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges and related hedged items reported in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings were as follows:

Foreign Currency Forward Contract

During three months ended June 30, 2011, we entered into a forward foreign currency exchange contract to mitigate the risk of foreign currency movements on an intercompany transaction with a foreign subsidiary. This forward foreign currency exchange contract was designated as a cash flow hedge. At June 30, 2011, the aggregate notional amount of the forward contract was $270.4 million and has a remaining term of two months. The impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements was as follows:

As of June 30, 2011, there was no ineffectiveness related to our forward foreign currency exchange contract. Refer to Note (N), “Fair Value Measurements,” for disclosures of the fair value and line item caption of derivative instruments recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

(P) SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

In December 2009, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our various employee stock, stock option and stock purchase plans. Under the December 2009 program, management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued to employees under the Company’s various employee stock, stock option and stock purchase plans from December 1, 2009 through December 15, 2011. The December 2009 program limits aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. Share repurchases of common stock are made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management established a prearranged written plan for the Company under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the December 2009 program, which allowed for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the plan. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we repurchased and retired 570,000 shares and 138,098 shares, respectively, under this program at an aggregate cost of $29.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we repurchased and retired 820,000 shares and 307,697 shares, respectively, under this program at an aggregate cost of $41.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively.

In February 2010, our Board of Directors authorized a $100 million discretionary share repurchase program over a period not to exceed two years. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we repurchased and retired 585,000 shares under the program at an aggregate cost of $26.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we repurchased and retired 1,135,000 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of $45.5 million. The program was completed in December 2010.

(Q) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income presents a measure of all changes in shareholders’ equity except for changes resulting from transactions with shareholders in their capacity as shareholders. Our total comprehensive income presently consists of net earnings, currency translation adjustments associated with foreign operations that use the local currency as their functional currency and adjustments for derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges and various pension and other postretirement benefits related items.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings as reported in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings to comprehensive income:

Pension Contributions

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we contributed $7.1 million to our pension plans. During the second half of 2011, we expect to contribute approximately $7.7 million to our pension plans.

Savings Plans

Employees who do not actively participate in pension plans and are not covered by union-administered plans are generally eligible to participate in enhanced savings plans. Plans provide for (i) a company contribution even if employees do not make contributions, (ii) a company match of employee contributions of eligible pay, subject to tax limits and (iii) a discretionary company match based on our performance. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we recognized total savings plan costs of $12.3 million and $6.6 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we recognized total savings plan costs of $20.5 million and $13.3 million, respectively.

(S) OTHER ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY

Our primary measure of segment performance excludes certain items we do not believe are representative of the ongoing operations of the segment. We believe that excluding these items from our segment measure of performance allows for better comparison of results. During the second quarter of 2011, we incurred $1.7 million of transaction costs related to the acquisition of Hill Hire. These costs were recorded within “Operating expense” in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Changes in accounts payable related to purchases of revenue earning equipment	$	62,871		86,021
Operating and revenue earning equipment acquired under capital leases	$	1,153		99

(U) SEGMENT REPORTING

Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. We operate in three reportable business segments: (1) FMS, which provides full service leasing, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and commercial rental of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers, principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) SCS, which provides comprehensive supply chain consulting including distribution and transportation services in North America and Asia; and (3) DCC, which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S.

Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as “Net Before Taxes” (NBT), includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes restructuring and other charges, net described in Note (G), “Restructuring and Other Charges” and excludes the items discussed in Note (S), “Other Items Impacting Comparability.” CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services, public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal and corporate communications. The objective of the NBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment and each operating segment within each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included among the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation.

Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment and provides fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the SCS and DCC segments. Inter-segment revenue and NBT are accounted for at rates similar to those executed with third parties. NBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to customers (equipment contribution) are included in both FMS and the business segment which served the customer and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations”).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS —
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010

OVERVIEW

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto included under Item 1. In addition, reference should be made to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) is a global leader in transportation and supply chain management solutions. Our business is divided into three business segments: Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides full service leasing, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and commercial rental of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides comprehensive supply chain consulting including distribution and transportation services in North America and Asia; and Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC), which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S. We operate in highly competitive markets. Our customers select us based on numerous factors including service quality, price, technology and service offerings. As an alternative to using our services, customers may choose to provide these services for themselves, or may choose to obtain similar or alternative services from other third-party vendors. Our customer base includes enterprises operating in a variety of industries including automotive, electronics, transportation, grocery, lumber and wood products, food service and home furnishing.

(1)		We use operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of our businesses and as a measure of sales activity. FMS fuel services revenue net of related intersegment billings, which is directly impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices, is excluded from the operating revenue computation as fuel is largely a pass-through to our customers for which we realize minimal changes in profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on market fuel costs. Subcontracted transportation is deducted from total revenue to arrive at operating revenue as subcontracted transportation is typically a pass-through to our customers. We realize minimal changes in profitability as a result of fluctuations in subcontracted transportation. Operating revenue is also a primary internal operating metric used to measure segment performance. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of total revenue to operating revenue.

Revenue

Total revenue increased 18% in the second quarter of 2011 to $1.51 billion. Operating revenue (revenue excluding FMS fuel and all subcontracted transportation) increased 15% in the second quarter of 2011 to $1.19 billion. For the first half of 2011, total revenue increased 17% to $2.94 billion and operating revenue increased 15% to $2.32 billion. The following table summarizes the components of the change in revenue on a percentage basis versus the prior year:


	Three months ended June 30, 2011				Six months ended June 30, 2011

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)

Pre-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations (NBT)

NBT increased 44% in the second quarter of 2011 to $75.0 million. For the first half of 2011, NBT increased 59% to $118.6 million. The increase in NBT was primarily driven by improved commercial rental performance and used vehicle sales results. Acquisitions accounted for 18% and 19% of year-over-year NBT growth in the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively. However, these increases were partially offset by lower full service lease performance reflecting higher maintenance costs on a relatively older fleet and higher incentive-based compensation costs as a result of improved company performance. In addition, the second quarter and first half of 2011 included a $1.9 million negative impact as a result of SCS automotive production cuts due to the Japan earthquake. See “Operating Results by Business Segment” for a further discussion of operating results. NBT in the second quarter of 2011 also included transaction costs of $1.7 million associated with the acquisition of Hill Hire. For the first half of 2011, acquisition-related restructuring and other costs totaled $2.5 million.

Earnings from Continuing Operations and Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) from Continuing Operations

Earnings from continuing operations increased 34% to $40.9 million in the second quarter of 2011. Earnings from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2011 included an income tax charge of $5.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, due to a tax law change in Michigan. EPS from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2011 also included transaction costs of $1.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted common share, associated with the acquisition of Hill Hire.

Excluding these items, comparable earnings and EPS from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2011 increased 56% to $47.8 million and 59% to $0.92 per diluted common share, respectively. We believe that comparable earnings from continuing operations and comparable earnings per diluted common share from continuing operations measures provide useful information to investors because they exclude significant items that are unrelated to our ongoing business operations. See Note (S), “Other Items Impacting Comparability,” for information regarding items excluded from 2011 results.

For the first half of 2011, earnings from continuing operations increased 54% to $66.8 million and included the previously discussed Michigan income tax charge of $0.10 per diluted common share, the Hill Hire transaction costs of $0.03 per diluted common share and a first quarter restructuring charge of $0.01 per diluted common share. Excluding these items, comparable earnings and EPS from continuing operations for the first half of 2011 increased 71% to $74.2 million and 74% to $1.43 per diluted common share, respectively.

Net Earnings and EPS

Net earnings increased 34% in the second quarter of 2011 to $40.0 million, or $0.77 per diluted common share, and increased 54% in the first half of 2011 to $65.2 million, or $1.26 per diluted common share. Net earnings in the second quarter and first half of 2011 were negatively impacted by losses from discontinued operations of $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively. EPS growth in the second quarter and first half of 2011 exceeded the earnings growth reflecting the impact of share repurchase programs.

The changes in the individual components of net earnings are discussed in more detail below.

Total operating expense increased 21% in the second quarter and first half of 2011 to $738.5 million and $1.43 billion, respectively, as a result of higher fuel and maintenance and repairs expense. Fuel expense, which primarily impacts our FMS segment, increased in the second quarter and in the first half of 2011 as a result of higher fuel costs. Maintenance and repairs expense, which includes the cost of parts, labor and outside repair, impacts both our FMS and SCS business segments through our shared maintenance infrastructure. Maintenance and repairs expense increased in the second

quarter and first half of 2011 primarily due to the impact of an older lease fleet. Other operating expense primarily includes operating taxes and licensing costs, facilities, insurance, professional services and outside driver costs and typically fluctuates in line with revenue. Other operating expense as a percentage of operating revenue was approximately 18% for all periods.

Salaries and employee-related costs increased 19% in the second quarter of 2011 to $370.4 million primarily due to a 17% increase in headcount from acquisitions and organic business growth. Salaries and wages increased 19% in the second quarter of 2011 of which 13% came from acquisitions, 2% came from organic business growth, and 4% came from higher incentive-based compensation as a result of improved company performance. Employee-related costs increased 20% primarily due to higher savings plan costs from improved company performance and increased headcount. Salaries and employee-related costs increased 20% in the first half of 2011 to $735.8 million due to the same factors as those in the second quarter of 2011. The growth in salaries and wages included an increase of 13% from acquisitions, 4% from organic business growth and 3% from incentive-based compensation. Employee-related costs increased 13% primarily due to higher savings plan costs and increased headcount.

Percentage of revenue		5%			5%			6%			5%
Subcontracted transportation expense which only impacts our SCS and DCC business segments, represents freight management costs on logistics contracts for which we purchase transportation from third parties. Subcontracted transportation expense is directly impacted by whether we are acting as an agent or principal in our transportation management contracts. To the extent that we are acting as a principal, revenue is reported on a gross basis and carriage costs to third parties are recorded as subcontracted transportation expense. To the extent we are acting as an agent, revenue is reported net of carriage costs to third parties. The impact to net earnings is the same whether we are acting as an agent or principal in the arrangement. Subcontracted transportation expense increased 29% in the second quarter of 2011 and increased 33% in the first half of 2011 from the impact of recent acquisitions and higher overall freight volumes. The TLC and Scully acquisitions increased subcontracted transportation by 17% in the second quarter and first half of 2011 compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Equipment rental	$	14,729			16,614		$	28,962			33,069			(11	)%		(12	)%

Depreciation expense relates primarily to FMS revenue earning equipment. Revenue earning equipment held for sale is recorded at the lower of fair value less costs to sell or carrying value. Losses to reflect changes in fair value are reflected within depreciation expense. Depreciation expense increased 4% in the second quarter of 2011 to $214.9 million. The increase was driven by acquisitions which increased our average fleet size and added $8.0 million of depreciation, foreign exchange movements of $3.2 million and the impact of increasing average new vehicle investments. The growth in depreciation expense was partially offset by

27

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)

$3.8 million of lower write-downs in the carrying value of vehicles held for sale and $2.3 million from changes in residual values of certain classes of our revenue earning equipment effective January 1, 2011 as well as lower accelerated depreciation.

Depreciation expense increased 1% in the first half of 2011 to $420.8 million driven by $11.6 million from acquisitions, foreign exchange movements of $5.2 million and higher average net vehicle investments. The increase was partially offset by $10.5 million of lower write-downs and $6.0 million of changes in residual value and accelerated depreciation. Refer to Note (I), “Revenue Earning Equipment,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further discussion.

Gains on vehicle sales, net increased 138% in the second quarter of 2011 to $15.7 million and increased 152% in the first half of 2011 to $28.0 million due to higher average pricing on vehicles sold of 35% and 41%, respectively, on slightly lower volumes.

Equipment rental consists primarily of rent expense for FMS revenue earning equipment under lease. Equipment rental decreased 11% in the second quarter of 2011 to $14.7 million and decreased 12% in the first half of 2011 to $29.0 million due to a lower number of leased vehicles.

Interest expense increased 6% in the second quarter of 2011 to $33.0 million and increased 5% in the first half of 2011 to $67.4 million reflecting higher average outstanding debt partially offset by a lower effective interest rate. The increase in average outstanding debt reflects funding for recent acquisitions and increased commercial rental capital spending. The lower effective interest rate in 2011 compared to 2010 reflects the replacement of higher interest rate debt with debt issuances at lower rates as well as increased percentage of variable rate debt.

Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2011 was 45.5% compared with 41.4% in the same period of the prior year. Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 43.7% compared with 41.8% in the same period of the prior year. Our provision for income taxes and effective income tax rate from continuing operations were negatively impacted by tax law changes in the States of Michigan (second quarter) and Illinois (first quarter). These tax law changes increased our provision for income taxes by $5.4 million and our effective tax rate by 7.2% in the second quarter of 2011. For the first half of 2011, these tax law changes increased our provision for income taxes by $6.6 million and our effective tax rate by 5.6%. The increase in our effective tax rate was partially offset by a higher proportionate amount of earnings in lower tax rate jurisdictions and lower contingent tax accruals.

OPERATING RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

We operate in three business segments: FMS, SCS and DCC. Our FMS business segment generates revenue from leasing, maintenance, rental, fuel and other ancillary services to customers, including SCS and DCC. The primary costs related to our FMS business segment include maintenance and repairs expense, fuel expense, fixed costs such as depreciation, interest, insurance and operating taxes and overhead expenses, mainly salaries and employee-related costs and facilities. FMS profitability is disproportionately impacted by increases and decreases in our transactional commercial rental and used vehicle sales activities as we are able to leverage our fixed cost infrastructure. Our SCS and DCC business segments generate revenue from their services which include transportation management, distribution management, consulting and dedicated transportation. The primary costs related to our SCS and DCC business segments include salaries and employee-related costs, subcontracted transportation, fuel and fixed costs such as equipment rentals (mainly from FMS), insurance and facilities.

As part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, we define the primary measurement of our segment financial performance as “Net Before Taxes” (NBT) from continuing operations, which includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS), and excludes restructuring and other charges, net, described in Note (G), “Restructuring and Other Charges” and exclude the items discussed in Note (S), “Other Items Impacting Comparability,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services and public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal and corporate communications. The objective of the NBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment and each operating segment within each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included within the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation.

(1)		We use operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of our FMS business segment and as a measure of sales activity. Fuel services revenue, which is directly impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices, is excluded from our operating revenue computation as fuel is largely a pass-through to customers for which we realize minimal changes in profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on market fuel costs.

Total revenue increased 14% in the second quarter of 2011 to $1.06 billion. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel) increased 10% in the second quarter of 2011 to $778.9 million. For the first half of 2011, total revenue increased 13% to $2.04 billion and operating revenue increased 8% to $1.50 billion. The following table summarizes the components of the change in revenue on a percentage basis versus the prior year:


	Three months ended June 30, 2011				Six months ended June 30, 2011

FMS fuel		6%		—%		6%		—%
Foreign exchange		1%		2%		1%		1%

Total increase		14%		10%		13%		8%

Fuel services revenue increased 29% in the second quarter of 2011 and 28% in the first half of 2011 due to higher prices passed through to customers. Full service lease revenue increased 3% in the second quarter of 2011 and 2% in the first half of 2011 reflecting the impact of recent acquisitions. We expect favorable full service lease revenue comparisons throughout the year due to acquisitions. Commercial rental revenue increased 38% in the second quarter of 2011 and 36% in the first half of 2011 reflecting improved global market demand and higher pricing and the impact of acquisitions. We expect favorable commercial rental revenue comparisons to continue throughout the year driven by higher demand, higher pricing on a larger fleet and the impact of acquisitions.

(3)		Fleet size excluding trailers.

FMS NBT increased 46% in the second quarter of 2011 to $67.5 million primarily due to significantly better commercial rental performance, improved used vehicle sales results and the impact of acquisitions. The increase in NBT was partially offset by lower full service lease performance, higher compensation-related expenses and planned spending on strategic growth initiatives. Commercial rental performance improved 72% in the second quarter of 2011 as a result of increased market demand and higher pricing on a 19% larger average fleet. The increase in the average-fleet reflects organic growth of 16% and an acquisition related impact of 3%. Used vehicle sales results improved by $12.9 million due to higher pricing and a lower average quarterly inventory level. The improvements in our commercial rental and used vehicle sales activities allowed us to better leverage our fixed costs. Acquisitions increased FMS NBT by 10% during the second quarter of 2011. Full service lease performance declined 1% reflecting increased maintenance and repair expenses on a comparatively older fleet. Maintenance and repairs expense as a percentage of operating revenue was 31% and 30%, respectively, during the second quarter of 2011 and 2010.

FMS NBT increased 56% in the first half of 2011 to $106.1 million reflecting the same trends as those that impacted the second quarter of 2011. Commercial rental performance improved 79%. Used vehicle sales results were better by $27.4 million. Acquisitions increased NBT by 9%. FMS NBT for the first half of 2011 also benefited from a non-operational gain of $2.4 million from the sale of a facility. Full service lease performance declined 2% in the first half of the year. Maintenance and repairs expense as a percentage of operating revenue was 31% and 30%, respectively, during the first half of 2011 and 2010.

Total		8,600		8,000		9,400		8	%		(9	)%

NYE units represent new vehicles on hand that are being prepared for deployment to a lease customer or into the rental fleet. Preparations include activities such as adding lift gates, paint, decals, cargo area and refrigeration equipment. For 2011, NYE units increased reflecting new lease sales and the refresh and modest growth of the rental fleet. NLE units represent vehicles held for sale and vehicles for which no revenue has been earned in the previous 30 days. For 2011, NLE units decreased compared to year-end due to lower used vehicle inventory levels. We expect NLE levels to increase throughout the year as we outservice rental units.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)

Total revenue increased 26% in the second quarter of 2011 to $389.6 million. Operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation) increased 26% in the second quarter of 2011 to $315.1 million. For the first half of 2011, total revenue increased 31% to $790.6 million and operating revenue increased 31% to $639.4 million. We expect favorable revenue comparisons to continue throughout the year due to the impact of the TLC acquisition, higher overall freight volumes and new business. The following table summarizes the components of the change in revenue on a percentage basis versus the prior year:


	Three months ended June 30, 2011				Six months ended June 30, 2011

SCS NBT increased 37% in the second quarter of 2011 to $17.2 million and 50% in the first half of 2011 to $29.3 million. The TLC acquisition increased SCS NBT by 28% during the second quarter of 2011 and 30% during the first half of 2011. SCS NBT also benefited from higher freight volumes across all industry sectors, as well as new business and lower self insurance costs. During the second quarter and first half of 2011, SCS recognized a benefit of $1.5 million from favorable development in estimated prior years’ self insured loss reserves. SCS NBT was negatively impacted in the second quarter of 2011 by $2.7 million as a result of lower automotive production volumes caused by the Japan earthquake. We expect the negative impact of the Japan earthquake to continue in the third quarter of 2011.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations decreased to $472.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with $531.2 million in 2010 because of an increase in working capital needs. Cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations in the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $433.5 million compared with cash used in financing activities of $102.0 million in 2010 due to higher borrowing needs to fund acquisitions and capital spending. Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations increased to $990.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with $408.6 million in 2010 due to acquisition-related payments and higher vehicle spending.

We refer to the sum of operating cash flows, proceeds from the sales of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, collections on direct finance leases and other investing cash inflows from continuing operations as “total cash generated.” We refer to the net amount of cash generated from operating and investing activities (excluding changes in restricted cash and acquisitions) from continuing operations as “free cash flow.” Although total cash generated and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures, we consider them to be important measures of comparative operating performance. We also believe total cash generated to be an important measure of total cash inflows generated from our ongoing business activities. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and for shareholders after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. Our calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

The following table shows the sources of our free cash flow computation:


	Six months ended June 30,
	2011			2010
	(In thousands)

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations	$	472,793			531,195
Sales of revenue earning equipment		136,578			102,027
Sales of operating property and equipment		6,180			1,414
Collections on direct finance leases		30,046			30,914
Other, net		—			1,950

Total cash generated		645,597			667,500
Purchases of property and revenue earning equipment		(817,377	)		(544,389	)

Free cash flow	$	(171,780	)		123,111

Free cash flow decreased $294.9 million to negative $171.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to higher vehicle spending. We expect full year free cash flow to be approximately negative $215 million versus a previous forecast of negative $265 million due to higher earnings and increased proceeds from used vehicle sales.

The following table provides a summary of capital expenditures:


	Six months ended June 30,
	2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Revenue earning equipment: ⁽¹⁾
Full service lease	$	327,497			302,456

Changes in accounts payable related to purchases of revenue earning equipment		(62,871	)		(86,021	)

Cash paid for purchases of property and revenue earning equipment	$	817,377			544,389


(1)		Capital expenditures exclude non-cash additions of approximately $1.2 million and $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in assets held under capital leases resulting from the extension of existing operating leases and other additions.

Capital expenditures (accrual basis) increased 40% in the first half of 2011 to $880.2 million because of increased commercial rental spending to refresh and grow the rental fleet. We anticipate full-year 2011 accrual basis capital expenditures to be consistent with our previous forecast of $1.75 billion.

Financing and Other Funding Transactions

We utilize external capital primarily to support working capital needs and growth in our asset-based product lines. The variety of debt financing alternatives typically available to fund our capital needs include commercial paper, long-term and medium-term public and private debt, asset-backed securities, bank term loans, leasing arrangements and bank credit facilities. Our principal sources of financing are issuances of commercial paper and medium-term notes.

Our ability to access unsecured debt in the capital markets is impacted by both our short-term and long-term debt ratings. These ratings are intended to provide guidance to investors in determining the credit risk associated with particular Ryder securities based on current information obtained by the rating agencies from us or from other sources. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs as well as reduced access to unsecured capital markets. A significant downgrade of our short-term debt ratings would impair our ability to issue commercial paper and likely require us to rely on alternative funding sources. A significant downgrade would not affect our ability to borrow amounts under our revolving credit facility described below.

Our debt ratings at June 30, 2011 were as follows:


	Short-term	Long-term	Outlook
Moody’s Investors Service	P2	Baa1	Stable (affirmed February 2011)
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services	A2	BBB+	Stable (raised August 2010)
Fitch Ratings	F2	A -	Stable (affirmed March 2011)

We believe that our operating cash flows, together with our access to commercial paper markets and other available debt financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that unanticipated volatility and disruption in commercial paper markets would not impair our ability to access these markets on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all. If we cease to have access to commercial paper and other sources of unsecured borrowings, we would meet our liquidity needs by drawing upon contractually committed lending agreements as described below and/or by seeking other funding sources.

In June 2011, we executed a new $900 million global revolving credit facility with a syndicate of twelve lending institutions led by Bank of America N.A., Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., BNP Paribas, Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., Royal Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. This replaces an $875 million credit facility which was scheduled to mature in April 2012. The new global credit facility matures in June 2016 and is used primarily to finance working capital and provide support for the issuance of unsecured commercial paper in the U.S. and Canada. This facility can also be used to issue up to $75 million in letters of credit (there were no letters of credit outstanding against the facility at June 30, 2011). At our option, the interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on LIBOR, prime, federal funds or local equivalent rates. The agreement provides for annual facility fees, which range from 10.0 basis points to 32.5 basis points, and are based on Ryder’s long-term credit ratings. The current annual facility fee is 15.0 basis points, which applies to the total facility size of $900 million. The credit facility contains no provisions limiting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to Ryder’s business operations; however, the credit facility does contain standard representations and warranties, events of default, cross-default provisions and certain affirmative and negative covenants. In order to maintain availability of funding, we must maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated tangible net worth, of less than or equal to 300%. Tangible net worth, as defined in the credit facility, includes 50% of our deferred federal income tax liability and excludes the book value of our intangibles. The ratio at June 30, 2011 was 218%. At June 30, 2011, $366.1 million was available under the credit facility, net of the support for commercial paper borrowings.

Our global revolving credit facility permits us to refinance short-term commercial paper obligations on a long-term basis. Settlement of short-term commercial paper obligations not expected to require the use of working capital are classified as long-term as we have both the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis.

In May 2011, we issued $350 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in June 2017. In connection with the issuance of the medium term notes, we entered into three interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million maturing in June 2017. The swaps were designated as fair value hedges whereby we receive fixed interest rate payments in exchange for making variable interest rate payments. The differential to be paid or received is accrued and recognized as interest expense. Refer to Note (O),“Derivatives” for additional information.

39

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)

In February 2011, we issued $350 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in March 2015. In connection with the issuance of the medium term notes, we entered into two interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million maturing in March 2015. The swaps were designated as fair value hedges whereby we receive fixed interest rate payments in exchange for making variable interest rate payments. The differential to be paid or received is accrued and recognized as interest expense. Refer to Note (O), “Derivatives” for additional information.

We have a trade receivables purchase and sale program, pursuant to which we sell certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to a bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiary of Ryder, that in turn sells, on a revolving basis, an ownership interest in certain of these accounts receivable to a receivables conduit or committed purchasers. The subsidiary is considered a VIE and is consolidated based on our control of the entity’s activities. We use this program to provide additional liquidity to fund our operations, particularly when it is cost effective to do so. The costs under the program may vary based on changes in interest rates. The available proceeds that may be received under the program are limited to $175 million. If no event occurs which causes early termination, the 364-day program will expire on October 28, 2011. The program contains provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations or the collectibility of the collateralized receivables. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no amounts were outstanding under the program. Sales of receivables under this program will be accounted for as secured borrowings based on our continuing involvement in the transferred assets.

Historically, we have established asset-backed securitization programs whereby we have sold beneficial interests in certain long-term vehicle leases and related vehicle residuals to a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity that in turn transfers the beneficial interest to a special purpose securitization trust in exchange for cash. The securitization trust funds the cash requirement with the issuance of asset-backed securities, secured or otherwise collateralized by the beneficial interest in the long-term vehicle leases and the residual value of the vehicles. The securitization provides us with further liquidity and access to additional capital markets based on market conditions. On June 18, 2008, Ryder Funding II LP, a special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary wholly-owned by Ryder, filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC for the registration of $600 million in asset-backed notes. The registration statement became effective on November 6, 2008 and remains effective until November 6, 2011.

At June 30, 2011 we had the following amounts available to fund operations under the aforementioned facilities:


	(In millions)
Global revolving credit facility	$	366
Trade receivables program	$	175

Total changes in debt		494,779			(25,615	)


Debt balance at June 30	$	3,241,781			2,472,076

In accordance with our funding philosophy, we attempt to balance the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our debt with the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our assets. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to achieve this match and generally target a mix of 25% to 45% variable-rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. The variable-rate portion of our total obligations (including notional value of swap agreements) was 38% and 28% at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Ryder’s leverage ratios and a reconciliation of on-balance sheet debt to total obligations were as follows:


	June 30,		% to		December 31,		% to
	2011		Equity		2010		Equity
	(Dollars in thousands)

On-balance sheet debt	$	3,241,781		222%		2,747,002		196%
Off-balance sheet debt—PV of minimum lease payments and guaranteed residual values under operating leases for vehicles⁽¹⁾		85,385				99,797

Total obligations	$	3,327,166		228%		2,846,799		203%


(1)		Present value (PV) does not reflect payments Ryder would be required to make if we terminated the related leases prior to the scheduled expiration dates.

On-balance sheet debt to equity consists of balance sheet debt divided by total equity. Total obligations to equity represents balance sheet debt plus the present value of minimum lease payments and guaranteed residual values under operating leases for vehicles, discounted based on our incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, all divided by total equity. Although total obligations is a non-GAAP financial measure, we believe that total obligations is useful as it provides a more complete analysis of our existing financial obligations and helps better assess our overall leverage position. Our leverage ratios increased in 2011 due to acquisitions and increased investments in vehicles.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We periodically enter into sale-leaseback transactions in order to lower the total cost of funding our operations, to diversify our funding among different classes of investors and to diversify our funding among different types of funding instruments. These sale-leaseback transactions are often executed with third-party financial institutions. In general, these sale-leaseback transactions result in a reduction in revenue earning equipment and debt on the balance sheet, as proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment are

41

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)

primarily used to repay debt. Accordingly, sale-leaseback transactions will result in reduced depreciation and interest expense and increased equipment rental expense. These leases contain limited guarantees by us of the residual values of the leased vehicles (residual value guarantees) that are conditioned upon disposal of the leased vehicles prior to the end of their lease term. The amount of future payments for residual value guarantees will depend on the market for used vehicles and the condition of the vehicles at time of disposal. We did not enter into any sale-leaseback transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.

Pension Information

The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of certain market interest rates. We review pension assumptions regularly and we may from time to time make voluntary contributions to our pension plans, which exceed the amounts required by statute. We disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report that we estimated contributions of approximately $15 million to our pension plans during 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we contributed $7.1 million to our pension plans. Changes in interest rates and the market value of the securities held by the plans during 2011 could materially change, positively or negatively, the funded status of the plans and affect the level of pension expense and required contributions in 2012 and beyond. See Note (R), “Employee Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

Share Repurchases and Cash Dividends

See Note (P), “Share Repurchase Programs,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of share repurchases.

In May 2011, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per share of common stock. In July 2011, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.29. This dividend reflects a $0.02 increase from the $0.27 quarterly cash dividend we have been paying since September 2010.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes information extracted from consolidated condensed financial information but not required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be presented in the financial statements. Certain of this information are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined by SEC rules. Specifically, we refer to comparable earnings from continuing operations, comparable EPS from continuing operations, operating revenue, salaries and employee-related costs as a percentage of operating revenue, FMS operating revenue, FMS NBT as a % of operating revenue, SCS operating revenue, SCS NBT as a % of operating revenue, DCC operating revenue, DCC NBT as a % of operating revenue, total cash generated, free cash flow, total obligations and total obligations to equity. As required by SEC rules, we provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP measure and an explanation why management believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following table provides a numerical reconciliation of total revenue to operating revenue which was not provided within the MD&A discussion:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to Ryder’s exposures to market risks since December 31, 2010. Please refer to the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete discussion of Ryder’s exposures to market risks.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the second quarter of 2011, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including Ryder’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Ryder’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the second quarter of 2011, Ryder’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, there were no changes in Ryder’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such internal control over financial reporting.

(1)		During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we purchased an aggregate o f 21,929 shares of our common stock in employee-related transactions. Employee-related transactions may include: (i) shares of common stock delivered as payment for the exercise price of options exercised or to satisfy the option holders’ tax withholding liability associated with our share-based compensation programs and (ii) open-market purchases by the trustee of Ryder’s deferred compensation plans relating to investments by employees in our stock, one of the investment options available under the plans.

(2)		In December 2009, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our various employee stock, stock option and stock purchase plans. Under the December 2009 program, management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued to employees under our various employee stock, stock option and stock purchase plans from December 1, 2009 through December 15, 2011. The December 2009 program limits aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. Share repurchases of common stock are made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management established a prearranged written plan for the Company under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the December 2009 program, which allowed for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 we repurchased and retired 570,000 shares under this program at an aggregate cost of $29.9 million.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Item 5.02(e)

On July 20, 2011, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (and the independent directors of our Board of Directors, with respect to Gregory T. Swienton, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) approved increases, effective July 1, 2011, to the performance incentive plan bonus opportunity under the Company’s 2011 Annual Incentive Awards for each of the Company’s named executive officers as follows: 145% of base salary (from 120% of base salary) for Mr. Swienton, 100% of base salary (from 75% of base salary) for each of Robert E. Sanchez, President - Global Fleet Management Solutions and John H. Williford, President - Global Supply Chain Solutions, and 80% of base salary (from 75% of base salary) for each of Art A. Garcia, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Robert D.
