Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On April 19, 2007, Landstar System, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing results for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
In the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, Landstar provided the following information that may be deemed non-GAAP financial measures: (1) with respect to the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007, earnings per diluted share, excluding the estimated impact of a severe accident; and (2) revenue per load on a consolidated basis and for the global logistics segment, excludes revenue and loads related to emergency transportation services provided primarily under the FAA Contract.
Each of the foregoing financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the corresponding and other GAAP financial information also presented in the press release.
Management believes that it is appropriate to present this financial information for the following reasons: (1) disclosure of these matters will allow investors to better understand the underlying trends in Landstar’s financial condition and results of operations; (2) this information will facilitate comparisons by investors of Landstar’s results as compared to the results of peer companies; (3) accidents with this level of financial severity, such as the accident referred to above, are rare for the Company; (4) a significant portion of the emergency transportation services previously provided under the FAA Contract were provided on the basis of a daily rate for the use of transportation equipment in question, and therefore load and per load information is not necessarily available or appropriate for a significant portion of the related revenue; and (5) management considers this financial information in its decision making.
The information furnished under Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933.
