The Company uses operating revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of the business and as a measure of sales activity. 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 customers for which the Company realizes minimal changes in profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. Subcontracted transportation revenue is
excluded from the operating revenue computation as it is typically a pass through to customers and the Company realizes minimal changes in profitability as a result of fluctuations
in subcontracted transportation. Operating revenue is also used to measure segment performance.

revenue computation as fuel is largely a pass-through to customers for which the Company realizes minimal changes in profitability during periods of
steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by increases or decreases in market fuel prices during a
short period of time as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on market fuel costs.

The Company uses total cash generated, a non-GAAP financial measure, because management considers it to be an important measure of comparative operating performance.
(1)
Management believes total cash generated provides investors with an important measure of total cash inflows generated from our on-going business activities which include sales of
revenue earning equipment, sales of operating property and equipment, sale and leaseback of revenue earning equipment, collections on direct finance leases and other cash inflows.
Capital expenditures presented net of changes in accounts payable related to purchases of revenue earning equipment.
(2)
The Company uses free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, because management considers it to be an important measure of comparative operating performance. Management
(3)
believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and shareholders after making capital investments required to support
ongoing business operations. The calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Amounts have not been recasted to give effect for the impact of foreign exchange movements on cash for which the impact is not expected to be significant.
(4)
Free Cash Flow excludes acquisitions and changes in restricted cash.

The Company uses total cash generated, a non-GAAP financial measure, because management considers it to be an important measure of comparative operating performance.
(1)
Management believes total cash generated provides investors with an important measure of total cash inflows generated from our on-going business activities which include sales of
revenue earning equipment, sales of operating property and equipment, sale and leaseback of revenue earning equipment, collections on direct finance leases and other cash inflows.
Capital expenditures presented net of changes in accounts payable related to purchases of revenue earning equipment.
(2)
The Company uses free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, because management considers it to be an important measure of comparative operating performance. Management
(3)
believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and shareholders after making capital investments required to support
ongoing business operations. The calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Free Cash Flow excludes acquisitions and changes in restricted cash.
