Heartland Express (HTLD) delivered earnings and revenue surprises of 23.08% and 0.40%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 2020. Do the numbers hold clues to what lies ahead for the stock?
Iowa-based truckload (TL) carrier Heartland Express, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTLD ) generated better than expected results during the first quarter of 2020. The carrier's $0.16 earnings per share was $0.03 ahead of the consensus estimate. "Our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 showed strength in terms of profit and overall operating efficiency during these challenging times we face currently as a company and a country," said Heartland Express CEO Mike Gerdin in the press release. Of note, the company's financial results had a headwind in the form of a loss on equipment sales. In the first quarter, Heartland Express incurred a $229,000 loss replacing tractors and trailers. Typically, this line item provides Heartland Express and other carriers with gains on sale, booked as an offset to operating expenses, from the disposal of equipment. In the past, these gains have lowered expenses by a few million dollars. However, prices for used trucks have fallen significantly after record purchasing of new tractors through and after the freight peak of 2018.
The weaker operating environment provided Heartland Express Inc. (NASDAQ: HTLD ) an opportunity to acquire a $150 million peer . However, that company, Millis Transfer, which operated at a 90%-plus operating ratio (OR) prior to the deal, weighed on Heartland Express' fourth-quarter 2019 results. The Iowa-based truckload (TL) carrier reported fourth-quarter 2019 earnings of $0.16 per share, well below the consensus estimate of $0.23 and the prior year's $0.27. "During the fourth quarter, operating revenues were improved, while net income, basic earnings per share and operating ratio results were negatively impacted by the inclusion of the financial results of Millis Transfer following the acquisition and market dynamics," a press release said. For the fourth quarter 2019, the carrier reported a 13.8% year-over-year increase in revenue in large part due to the August acquisition. However, the company reported a 40% decline in operating income with an adjusted OR of 87.9%, 1,120 basis points worse year-over-year.
