NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Yellow Roadway Corporation and Subsidiaries
(Unaudited)
| 1. | Description of Business |
Yellow Roadway Corporation (also referred to as Yellow Roadway, we or our), one of the largest transportation service providers in the world, is a holding company that through wholly owned operating subsidiaries offers its customers a wide range of asset and non-asset-based transportation services. Yellow Technologies, Inc., a captive corporate resource, provides technology solutions and services exclusively for Yellow Roadway companies. Our operating subsidiaries include the following:
| | Yellow Transportation, Inc. (Yellow Transportation) is a leading transportation services provider that offers a full range of regional, national and international services for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. Approximately 40 percent of Yellow Transportation shipments are completed in two days or less. |
| | Roadway Express, Inc. (Roadway Express) is a leading transportation services provider that offers a full range of regional, national and international services for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through decentralized management and customer facing organizations. Approximately 30 percent of Roadway Express shipments are completed in two days or less. Roadway Express owns 100 percent of Reimer Express Lines Ltd. located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. |
| | Roadway Next Day Corporation is a holding company focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery lanes. Roadway Next Day Corporation owns 100 percent of New Penn Motor Express, Inc. (New Penn), which provides regional, next-day ground services through a network of facilities located in the Northeastern United States (U.S.), Quebec, Canada and Puerto Rico. |
| | Meridian IQ, Inc. (Meridian IQ) is a non-asset-based global transportation management company that plans and coordinates the movement of goods throughout the world, providing customers a quick return on investment, more efficient supply-chain processes and a single source for transportation management solutions. |
On December 11, 2003, we successfully closed the acquisition of Roadway Corporation (Roadway). Roadway became Roadway LLC (Roadway Group) and a subsidiary of Yellow Roadway. Consideration for the acquisition included $494 million in cash and 18.0 million shares of Yellow Roadway common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $1.1 billion. The Roadway Group has two operating segments, Roadway Express and New Penn.
| 2. | Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yellow Roadway Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. We have prepared the consolidated financial statements, without audit by independent public accountants, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In managements opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included herein have been made. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
| 3. | Stock-Based Compensation |
Yellow Roadway has various stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Yellow Roadway accounts for stock options issued under those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. We do not reflect compensation costs in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
6
We estimated the fair value per option for each option granted in the periods presented using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the three and six months ended June 30:

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we issued 113,585 performance share units to certain executive officers under the long-term incentive plan implemented in 2002. According to the plan provisions, the performance share units provide the holders the right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting of one performance share unit. Fifty percent of the awarded performance share units vest three years from the date of grant and the remaining 50 percent vest six years from the date of grant. Additionally, on February 27, 2004, we issued 27,647 shares of restricted stock from the 2002 stock option plan at $31.59 per share. These shares will vest ratably over three years. The related compensation expense for the performance share units and restricted stock is included in the consolidated statements of operations ratably over the service period, defined as the performance period and vesting period combined. The performance share units and restricted stock are not reflected in the fair value or pro forma results above.
| 4. | Acquisitions |
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (Statement No. 141), Yellow Roadway allocates the purchase price of its acquisitions to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the acquired entity based on their fair values. We record the excess purchase price over the fair values as goodwill. The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired is based on valuations prepared by independent third party appraisal firms using estimates and assumptions provided by management. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Statement No. 142), goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. An impairment loss would be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the assets fair value. Intangible assets with estimatable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives.
Roadway Corporation
On December 11, 2003, we closed the acquisition of Roadway. Consideration for the acquisition included $494 million in cash and 18.0 million shares of Yellow Roadway common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $1.1 billion. We initially allocated $597.0 million of the purchase price to goodwill and $461.3 million to intangible assets. Refer to our goodwill and intangibles note for further details.
7
In connection with the acquisition, we incurred $13.4 million of restructuring costs as a result of severance (administrative, sales and operations personnel) and relocation of workforce and contract terminations. We have recognized such costs as a liability assumed as of the acquisition date, resulting in additional goodwill. These restructuring costs consisted of $12.2 million of employee termination (including wages, health benefits and outplacement services) and relocation costs for approximately 800 employees and $1.2 million for contract terminations. All of these restructuring items will have been effectuated within one year of the acquisition in accordance with purchase accounting requirements. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we paid $2.0 million of restructuring costs resulting in a $11.4 million accrued liability at June 30, 2004.
In accordance with Statement No. 141, we accounted for the acquisition under purchase accounting. As a result, our Statements of Consolidated Operations and Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows include results of Roadway Express and New Penn from the date of acquisition. Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 do not reflect the operations of the Roadway Group.
Pro Forma Results
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Yellow Roadway as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2003. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations of Yellow Roadway that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of the date presented, and should not be taken as representative of the future consolidated results of operations of Yellow Roadway. Summarized unaudited pro forma results were as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003:

GPS Logistics
In February 2004, MIQ LLC (formerly known as Yellow GPS), a subsidiary of Meridian IQ, exercised and closed its option to purchase GPS Logistics (EU) Ltd. MIQ LLC made a payment of $7.6 million, which is subject to upward and downward adjustments based on the financial performance of GPS Logistics (EU) Ltd. The initial payment and acquisition expenses of $0.3 million were allocated as follows: $3.3 million to goodwill, $3.2 million to amortizable intangible assets, and $1.4 million to miscellaneous assets and liabilities. The results of GPS Logistics (EU) Ltd. have been included in our financial statements since the date of acquisition. The pro forma effect of this acquisition is not material to our results of operations. MIQ LLC also has an option to acquire the Asian business of GPS Logistics Group Ltd. (not previously acquired) at a price that varies with the performance of that business. If MIQ LLC does not exercise the Asian option, it will be required to pay a deferred option price to the shareholders of GPS Logistics Group Ltd.

As the Roadway acquisition occurred in December 2003, the allocation of the purchase price included in the December 31, 2003 Consolidated Balance Sheets was preliminary and subject to refinement. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, an independent asset valuation was received and certain reallocations were made related to tangible and intangible assets. In addition, the fair value of certain post-employment benefit obligations was determined by an actuary. The purchase price allocation has been modified to reflect the results of these analyses. These changes did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations.
As of June 30, 2004, refinements to the purchase price allocation are substantially complete. We do expect additional changes during the third quarter of 2004 with respect to the determination of the fair value of certain tax-related contingencies and certain other minor refinements. We do not expect these subsequent changes will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations.
The components of amortizable intangible assets are as follows:

Total marketing related intangible assets with indefinite lives were $344.5 million at June 30, 2004 and $334.1 million at December 31, 2003. These intangible assets are not subject to amortization. The change between periods related to a reclassification arising from modifications to the purchase price allocation, as discussed above, and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Components of Net Periodic Pension Cost
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board revised SFAS No. 132, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (Statement No. 132R). Statement No. 132R requires the disclosure of the components of the net periodic pension cost recognized during interim periods. The following table sets forth the components of our pension costs for the three and six months ended June 30:

| (a) | Data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 does not include Roadway Group. |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, our other postretirement costs were $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Prior to the acquisition of Roadway, we did not provide postretirement benefits; therefore, there are no such amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003.
Employer Contributions
On July 1, 2004, we contributed $22.3 million to our company-sponsored pension plans. We expect to make additional contributions to these plans of $20.7 million prior to December 31, 2004.

| 7. | Business Segments |
Yellow Roadway reports financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We manage the segments separately because each requires different operating, marketing and technology strategies. We evaluate performance primarily on adjusted operating income and return on capital.
Yellow Roadway has four reportable segments, which are strategic business units that offer complementary transportation services to their customers. Yellow Transportation and Roadway Express are unionized carriers that provide comprehensive regional, national and international transportation services. New Penn is also a unionized carrier that focuses on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery lanes. Meridian IQ, our non-asset-based segment, provides transportation management services, domestic and international freight forwarding and multi-modal brokerage services.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Accounting Policies note in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. We charge management fees and other corporate services to our segments based on the direct benefits received or as a percentage of revenue. Corporate losses represent operating expenses of the holding company, including salaries, wages and benefits, along with incentive compensation and professional services, that have not been allocated to the operating segments. Corporate identifiable assets primarily refer to cash, cash equivalents and deferred debt issuance costs. Intersegment revenue relates to transportation services provided by Yellow Transportation to Meridian IQ and Roadway Express as well as charges to Yellow Transportation for use of various Meridian IQ service names.

| 10. | Multi-Employer Pension Plans |
Yellow Transportation, Roadway Express and New Penn contribute to approximately 90 separate multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements (approximately 77 percent of total employees). The largest of these plans, the Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan (the Central States Plan) provides retirement benefits to approximately 53 percent of our total employees. The amounts of these contributions are determined by contract and established in the agreements. The health and welfare plans provide health care and disability benefits to active employees and retirees. The pension plans provide defined benefits to retired participants. We recognize as net pension cost the required contribution for the period and recognize as a liability any contributions due and unpaid.
Under current legislation regarding multi-employer pension plans, a termination, withdrawal or partial withdrawal from any multi-employer plan in an under-funded status would render us liable for a proportionate share of the multi-employer plans unfunded vested liabilities. This potential unfunded pension liability also applies to our unionized competitors who contribute to multi-employer plans. Based on the limited information available from plan administrators, which we cannot independently validate, we believe that our portion of the contingent liability in the case of a full withdrawal or termination would be material to our financial position and results of operations. Yellow Transportation, Roadway Express and New Penn have no current intention of taking any action that would subject us to obligations under the legislation.
Yellow Transportation, Roadway Express and New Penn each have collective bargaining agreements with their unions that stipulate the amount of contributions each company must make to union-sponsored, multi-employer pension plans. The Internal Revenue Code and related regulations establish minimum funding requirements for these plans. Under recent legislation, qualified multi-employer plans are permitted to exclude certain recent investment losses from the minimum funding formula through 2005. The Central States Plan, in particular, has informed us that its recent investment performance has adversely affected its funding levels and that the fund is seeking corrective measures to address its funding. During the benefit period of the recent legislation, the Central States Plan is expected to meet the minimum funding requirements. If any of these plans, including the Central States Plan, fails to meet minimum funding requirements and the trustees of such a plan are unable to obtain a waiver of the requirements or certain changes in how the applicable plan calculates its funding level from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or reduce pension benefits to a level where the requirements are met, the IRS could impose an excise tax on all employers participating in these plans and contributions in excess of our contractually agreed upon rates could be required to correct the funding deficiency. If an excise tax were imposed on the participating employers and additional contributions required, it could have a material adverse impact on the financial results of Yellow Roadway.

| 11. | Guarantees of the Contingent Convertible Senior Notes |
In August 2003, Yellow Roadway issued 5.0 percent contingent convertible senior notes due 2023. In November 2003, we issued 3.375 percent contingent convertible senior notes due 2023 (the August and November issuances, collectively, may also be known as the contingent convertible senior notes). In connection with the contingent convertible senior notes, the following 100 percent owned subsidiaries of Yellow Roadway have issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the contingent convertible senior notes: Yellow Transportation, Inc., Mission Supply Company, Yellow Relocation Services, Inc., Yellow Technologies, Inc., Meridian IQ, Inc., MIQ LLC (formerly Yellow GPS, LLC), Globe.com Lines, Inc., Roadway LLC, Roadway Next Day Corporation, and Roadway Express, Inc. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several.
The summarized consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because management does not believe that such separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of Yellow Roadway or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.
The following represents summarized condensed consolidating financial information as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 with respect to the financial position, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 for results of operations and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 for the statements of cash flows of Yellow Roadway and its subsidiaries. The Parent column presents the financial information of Yellow Roadway, the primary obligor of the contingent convertible senior notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the contingent convertible senior notes. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries, including those subsidiaries governed by foreign laws, Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation, Yellow Receivables Corporation and Roadway Funding, Inc., the special-purpose entities that are or were associated with our asset backed securitization (ABS) agreements.

| 12. | Guarantees of the Senior Notes Due 2008 |
In connection with the senior notes due 2008 that Yellow Roadway assumed by virtue of its merger with Roadway, and in addition to the primary obligor, Roadway LLC, Yellow Roadway and its following 100 percent owned subsidiaries have issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the senior notes due 2008: Roadway Next Day Corporation, New Penn Motor Express, Inc., Roadway Express, Inc., Roadway Reverse Logistics, Inc. and Roadway Express International, Inc. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several.
The summarized consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because management does not believe that such separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of Yellow Roadway or any guarantor subsidiary to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.
The following represents summarized condensed consolidating financial information of Yellow Roadway and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 with respect to the financial position, for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2004, for results of operations and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 for statements of cash flows. The primary obligor column presents the financial information of Roadway LLC. The Guarantor Subsidiaries column
presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the senior notes due 2008 including Yellow Roadway, the holding company. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries,
including those subsidiaries that are governed by foreign laws and Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation, Yellow Receivables Corporation and Roadway Funding, Inc., the special-purpose entities that are or were associated with our ABS

Item 2. Ma nagements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Yellow Roadway Corporation (also referred to as Yellow Roadway, we or our). MD&A and certain statements in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each a forward-looking statement). Forward-looking statements include those preceded by, followed by or include the words should, could, may, expects, believes, anticipates, estimates or similar expressions. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including (without limitation), inflation, inclement weather, price and availability of fuel, competitor pricing activity, expense volatility, changes in and customer acceptance of new technology, our ability to capture cost synergies from our acquisition of Roadway Corporation, changes in equity and debt markets, a downturn in general or regional economic activity and labor relations, including (without limitation) the impact of work rules, our obligations arising out of our participation in multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans, wage requirements, employee satisfaction, work stoppages, strikes or other disruptions.
On December 11, 2003, we successfully closed the acquisition of Roadway Corporation (Roadway). Roadway became Roadway LLC (Roadway Group) and a subsidiary of Yellow Roadway. Consideration for the acquisition included $494 million in cash and 18.0 million shares of Yellow Roadway common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $1.1 billion. The Roadway Group has two operating segments, Roadway Express, Inc. (Roadway Express) and New Penn Motor Express, Inc. (New Penn).
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, we accounted for the acquisition under purchase accounting. As a result, our Statements of Consolidated Operations and Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows include results for Roadway Express and New Penn from the date of acquisition. Our second quarter 2003 results and our results for the six months ended June 30, 2003 do not reflect the operations of the Roadway Group; however, our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements do include limited pro forma information that presents the combined results of operations of Yellow Roadway as if the Roadway acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. Management has provided the pro forma information to facilitate comparison of results among periods. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations of Yellow Roadway that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of the date presented and should not be taken as representative of the future consolidated results of operations of Yellow Roadway.
Results of Operations
Our Results of Operations section focuses on the highlights and significant items that impacted our operating results during the second quarter as well as the year to date. Our discussion will also explain the adjustments to operating income that management excludes when internally evaluating segment performance since the items are not related to the segments core operations. Please refer to our Business Segments note for further discussion.
Yellow Transportation Results
As one of our largest operating units, Yellow Transportation represented approximately 47 percent and 97 percent of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively, and in the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. On a pro forma basis, assuming the acquisition of Roadway had occurred on January 1, 2003, Yellow Transportation revenue would have represented approximately 47 percent of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2003 and in the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to three months ended June 30, 2003
Yellow Transportation reported record second quarter revenue in 2004 of $792.6 million, representing an increase of $101.2 million or 14.6 percent from the second quarter of 2003. The revenue increase resulted from a combination of continued improvement in economic conditions, continued emphasis on premium services and meeting customer expectations. The two primary components of less-than-truckload (LTL) revenue are tonnage, comprised of the number of shipments and the weight per shipment, and price, usually evaluated on a per hundred weight basis. In the second quarter of 2004, Yellow Transportation LTL tonnage increased by 9.3 percent per day, and LTL revenue per hundred weight, excluding the fuel surcharge, improved by 2.5 percent from the second quarter of 2003. The fuel surcharge, adjusted weekly based on a national index, represents an amount passed on to customers due to higher fuel costs and is common throughout the transportation industry. Because we receive the fuel surcharge from customers and it has a high degree of volatility, we typically evaluate our pricing excluding this surcharge.
Premium services, an integral part of our strategy to offer a broad portfolio of services and meet the increasingly complex transportation needs of our customers, continued to deliver significant revenue growth. Premium services at Yellow Transportation include, among others, Exact Express ® , an expedited and time-definite ground service with a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee; and Definite Delivery ® , a guaranteed on-time service with constant shipment monitoring and notification. In the second quarter of 2004, total Exact Express revenue increased by nearly 60 percent and Definite Delivery revenue was consistent with the second quarter of 2003. Yellow Transportation also offers Standard Ground Regional Advantage, a high-speed service for shipments moving between 500 and 1,500 miles. Standard Ground Regional Advantage revenue represented approximately 24 percent of total Yellow Transportation revenue in the second quarter of 2004 and increased nearly 11 percent from the second quarter of 2003. This service provides higher utilization of assets by use of more direct loading and bypassing intermediate handling at distribution centers.
Yellow Transportation operating income improved by $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003. Operating income increased due to higher revenue and our continued ability to effectively balance volume and price. Increased wage and benefit rates, primarily contractual, and increased property damage and claims liability reserves, including $3.5 million specifically accrued during the second quarter of 2004 for a large accident, partially offset the operating income improvement. In addition, the second quarter of 2003 included a $3.7 million reduction in claims and insurance expense for an insurance recovery related to two former employees falsifying claims over several years. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased in the second quarter of 2004 by 0.5 percentage points compared to the second quarter of 2003, resulting in an operating ratio of 94.2 percent. Operating ratio refers to a common industry measurement calculated by dividing a companys operating expenses by its operating revenue.
In addition to the operating ratio, we evaluate our results based on incremental margins, or the change in operating income divided by the change in revenue. The incremental margin at Yellow Transportation from the second quarter of 2003 to the second quarter of 2004 was approximately 9 percent. This incremental margin did not meet our 15 to 20 percent long-term goal primarily due to the reduction in claims and insurance expense in the second quarter of 2003, as discussed above, and increased property damage and claims liability reserves, higher performance incentive accruals and increased corporate-allocated management fees in the second quarter of 2004. Absent the effect of the 2004 increased reserves and the 2003 insurance recovery, our incremental margin was 16 percent. In any given quarter, our incremental margin may be above or below our targeted level of 15 to 20 percent. However, over the longer-term, our expectation is to average a 15 to 20 percent incremental margin.
Adjustments to operating income represent charges that management excludes when evaluating segment performance to better understand the results of our core operations. Management excludes the impact of gains and losses from the disposal of property as they reflect charges not related to the segments primary business. For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, adjustments to operating income were insignificant to our results of operations.
Six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to six months ended June 30, 2003
Yellow Transportation revenue increased $175.5 million or 13 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2004 versus the year ago period. In the six months ended June 30, 2004, Yellow Transportation LTL tonnage increased 8.8 percent compared to the year ago period primarily due to improved economic conditions and increased penetration in premium services. In addition, LTL revenue per hundred weight, excluding the fuel surcharge, increased during the six months ended June 30, 2004 by 2.6 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Operating income for Yellow Transportation increased $16.2 million or 29.1 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. As discussed above, the increase in operating income is related to the increased revenue and our continued success in negotiating appropriate prices for the related business volumes. Our operating income was adversely impacted by an increase in our property damage and claims liability expense, in large part due to one specific accident, which increased over 50 percent. We also experienced wage and benefit increases that further offset the increase in operating income.

Roadway Express Results
Three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to three months ended June 30, 2003
As one of our recently acquired subsidiaries, Roadway Express results were not included in our second quarter 2003 results of operations, which make 2004 results more challenging to evaluate against prior periods. In the second quarter of 2003, Roadway Express results reflected different accounting policies, and the effect of asset and liability valuations prior to adjusting them to their fair value, as required by purchase accounting. In addition, the entity reported results based on a twelve-week period instead of a calendar quarter resulting in five fewer business days than the second quarter of 2004. For these reasons, management evaluates the segments results primarily based on a combination of sequential growth month over month, attainment of plan performance and comparison to adjusted second quarter 2003 results.
Roadway Express reported revenue of $768.2 million in the second quarter of 2004 compared to adjusted revenue of $742.4 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of 3.5 percent. Prior year second quarter revenue was adjusted to reflect the current revenue recognition policy and the conversion to a calendar quarter. Roadway Express represented approximately 46 percent of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2004. On a pro forma basis, assuming the acquisition of Roadway had occurred on January 1, 2003, Roadway Express revenue would have represented approximately 51 percent of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2003. The revenue increase resulted from a 2.7 percent improvement in LTL revenue per hundred weight, excluding the fuel surcharge, partially offset by a 2.0 percent decline in LTL tonnage per day compared to the second quarter of 2003. Although LTL business volumes are lower, Roadway Express is experiencing an improved trend in LTL tonnage per day when comparing second quarter 2004 versus first quarter 2004.
Roadway Express reported operating income of $36.4 million in the second quarter of 2004, which included approximately $.0.2 million of gains on property disposals. Operating income results exceeded managements expectations for the second quarter of 2004, as the segment lowered operating costs in response to the lower volumes. Reduced salaries, wages and employees benefits contributed significantly to the favorable operating results. Efficiency improvements more than offset the increased contractual wage and benefit rates. In addition, operating expenses and supplies decreased from earlier projections despite significant fluctuations in fuel costs throughout the quarter. In the second quarter of 2004, Roadway Express recognized $2.2 million of amortization related to intangible assets identified in the purchase price allocation. Roadway Express reported a second quarter 2004 operating ratio of 95.3 percent compared to 98.3 percent for the second quarter of 2003 when stated on a comparable basis.
Six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to six months ended June 30, 2003
Roadway Express reported revenue of $1,485.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $1,452.6 million, as adjusted, for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $32.7 million or 2.3 percent. The prior period revenue was adjusted to reflect the current revenue recognition policy and the conversion into a six-month period versus a twenty-four week period. The increased revenue is attributed to favorable pricing changes partially offset by a 3.0 percent decline in LTL tonnage per day. Roadway Express represented approximately 46 percent of our consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Roadway Express reported operating income of $51.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $33.1 million, as adjusted, for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The current period operating income significantly benefited from various cost savings initiatives. These initiatives, primarily centered on reduced salaries, wages and employees benefits, more than compensated for increased contractual wage and benefit rates and higher fuel costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, Roadway Express recognized $3.9 million of amortization of intangible assets. There was no such amount in the comparable prior year period.
New Penn Results
Three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to three months ended June 30, 2003
Similar to Roadway Express, New Penn results for the second quarter of 2004 include purchase accounting valuations and reflect different accounting policies than the second quarter of 2003. In addition, the entity reported prior year results based on a twelve-week period instead of a calendar quarter resulting in five fewer business days than the second quarter of 2004.
New Penn reported revenue of $64.3 million in the second quarter of 2004 compared to adjusted revenue of $54.7 million in the second quarter of 2003. Prior year second quarter revenue was adjusted to reflect the conversion to a calendar quarter. Due to the focus on next-day services, New Penn did not record a significant revenue recognition adjustment in the second quarter of 2004 or the second quarter of 2003. Please refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policies.
22
New Penn represented approximately 4 percent of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2004. On a pro forma basis, assuming the acquisition of Roadway had occurred on January 1, 2003, New Penn revenue would have represented approximately 4 percent of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2003. The 17.6 percent revenue improvement from the second quarter of 2003 to the second quarter of 2004 resulted primarily from a 15.0 percent increase in LTL tonnage per day, and a 0.8 percent increase in revenue per hundred weight, excluding the fuel surcharge. New Penn effectively gained profitable new customers upon the closure of a competitor, USF Red Star, on May 24, 2004. Strong sales initiatives, coupled with one month of the USF Red Star business, and continued improvement in the economy in the second quarter of 2004 contributed to the tonnage growth.
Operating income at New Penn was $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2004, including approximately $42 thousand of gains on property disposals. Operating income results exceeded managements expectations for the second quarter of 2004 and significantly increased from the entitys reported results in the second quarter of 2003. In the second quarter of 2004, New Penn recognized $0.8 million of amortization related to intangible assets identified in the purchase price allocation. Increased revenue combined with good cost management significantly contributed to an operating ratio improvement of 5.1 percentage points from the prior year period resulting in a second quarter 2004 operating ratio of 85.7 percent.
Six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to six months ended June 30, 2003
New Penn reported revenue of $120.4 million and operating income of $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The revenue growth at New Penn is directly attributed to the increase in LTL tonnage per day in addition to one month benefit of new customers gained from the closure of USF Red Star in the Northeast. The improved economy also contributed to the strong revenue results at New Penn. The segments operating income also benefited from the strong revenue improvements as well as continued emphasis on cost containment and profitable growth strategies. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, New Penn recognized $1.9 million of amortization of intangible assets. There was no such amount in the comparable prior year period.
Meridian IQ Results
Meridian IQ is our non-asset-based segment that plans and coordinates the movement of goods throughout the world. Meridian IQ represented approximately 3 percent of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2004 and 2003 and approximately 3 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. On a pro forma basis, assuming the acquisition of Roadway had occurred on January 1, 2003, Meridian IQ revenue would have represented approximately 2 percent of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2003 and approximately 2 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2003.

In the second quarter of 2004, Meridian IQ revenue increased by $27.4 million or 118.4 percent from the second quarter of 2003. The significant increase in revenue resulted from a combination of strong organic growth within Meridian IQ existing services and recent acquisitions. Operating income also increased from $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2003 to $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2004. Increased revenue partially offset by higher marketing costs produced the improved operating results.
23
Six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to six months ended June 30, 2003
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, Meridian IQ revenue increased by $51.0 million or 112.8 percent from the six months ended June 30, 2003. Meridian IQ had an operating loss of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to an operating profit of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Organic growth within Meridian IQ and the positive results from recent acquisitions contributed to the overall improved operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Consolidated Results
Our consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 include the results of each of the operating segments previously discussed, including Roadway Express and New Penn. The reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 include the former Yellow Corporation entities only, consisting of Yellow Transportation and Meridian IQ. Pro forma information provided presents the combined results of operations of Yellow Roadway as if the Roadway acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. The following discussion focuses on items that management evaluates on a consolidated basis, as segment results have been discussed previously.

Operating revenue in the second quarter of 2004 increased by $218.0 million compared to pro forma revenue in the second quarter of 2003. Each of our operating segments contributed to the revenue growth, which resulted from a combination of improving economic conditions, increased premium services and non-asset-based acquisitions. Operating revenue increased by $960.6 million from second quarter 2003 reported revenue to the second quarter of 2004, primarily due to the acquisition of Roadway Express and New Penn in addition to the improved results at Yellow Transportation and Meridian IQ.
Consolidated operating income improved by $41.3 million from pro forma second quarter 2003 operating income to the second quarter 2004. The improved results primarily related to increased revenue and effective cost management at each of our operating segments. Reported second quarter 2003 operating income increased by $55.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2004, mostly due to the acquisition of Roadway Express and New Penn, and increased revenue at Yellow Transportation and Meridian IQ. Corporate expenses in the second quarter of 2004 decreased by $0.5 million from the second quarter of 2003 as higher performance incentive accruals, based on our improved operating results, were more than offset by corporate-allocated management fees.
Nonoperating expenses in the second quarter of 2004 increased by $1.2 million from the pro forma nonoperating expenses in the second quarter of 2003 as a result of lower interest income partially offset by lower interest expense. The lower interest expense resulted from lower average debt balances in the second quarter of 2004 compared to those included in the pro forma results. Reported second quarter 2003 interest expense increased by $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2004 due to the additional debt we either assumed or issued to consummate the Roadway acquisition, including the assumption of $225.0 million of principal senior notes issued by Roadway.
Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2004 was 38.5 percent compared to 38.9 percent in the second quarter of 2003. As we record our tax provision based on our full year forecasted results, we expect this rate to approximate 38.5 percent for the remainder of the year. Variations in the rate could result from our income allocation among subsidiaries and their relative state tax rates, in addition to tax planning strategies that may be implemented throughout the year.
