Freight Revenues
Freight revenues as a percentage of operating revenues remained relatively stable over the periods, fluctuating narrowly between approximately 92.39% and 94.95%. A slight upward trend was observed towards the later periods, peaking near 94.95% in December 2024, indicating a growing contribution of freight services within total operating revenue.
Other Revenues
Other revenues exhibited an inverse pattern to freight revenues, generally decreasing over time from just above 7% in some periods of 2021 down to near 5% in 2025. This suggests a decreasing dependence on revenues outside of freight operations as a share of total operating revenues.
Compensation and Benefits
The proportion of compensation and benefits costs to operating revenues showed some volatility but generally remained between approximately -17.4% and -21.3%. Noticeably, there was a decrease in this ratio around mid-2021, followed by an increase later, indicating varying labor cost efficiency or adjustments in workforce expenses relative to revenues.
Purchased Services and Materials
This cost category fluctuated between about -8.7% and -11.2%, with a tendency to increase in the later periods, suggesting rising costs for external services and materials which could impact overall operating expense control.
Depreciation
Depreciation expenses as a percentage of operating revenues generally declined over the timeline from roughly -12.98% early on to a range around -9.5%, reflecting potential changes in asset base, capital expense timing, or efficiency gains in asset utilization.
Fuel
Fuel costs showed a marked increase through the periods, climbing from negative values near -5.82% in early 2020 to a peak around -14.99% in mid-2022, followed by a gradual decline to near -9.36% by late 2025. This trend likely reflects volatility in fuel prices and usage efficiency over time, with a significant cost surge evident in mid-2022 before easing.
Equipment and Other Rents
Equipment and rent expenses were relatively stable, fluctuating between approximately -3.27% and -4.97%, indicating consistent rental costs relative to operating revenues.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses demonstrated some variability, with percentages ranging between about -4.59% and -9.98%. A notable spike appeared in late 2020 followed by gradual normalization, suggesting one-time charges or exceptional factors affecting costs in that period.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues maintained a range mostly between -55% and -63%, with some fluctuation. The general level suggests consistent cost management relative to operating revenue, though minor increases in expense ratios in some later periods hint at rising cost pressures.
Operating Income
Operating income as a percentage of operating revenues fluctuated between roughly 36.6% and 44.9%, showing some cyclicality. Higher margins were recorded in 2021 compared to early 2020, followed by a modest decline and stabilization around 39-41% in subsequent years, indicating resilient profitability amid fluctuating expenses.
Other Income, Net
Other income exhibited variability but remained positive throughout, generally between 0.68% and 3.09%. Peaks in mid-2020 and early 2023 suggest episodic gains or favorable non-operating income components supporting overall profitability.
Interest Expense
Interest expense as a percentage of operating revenues showed modest fluctuations, ranging from about -4.8% to -6.8%, with a slight tendency toward reduction in recent periods, signaling possible improvements in debt management or refinancing activities.
Income Before Income Taxes
Pre-tax income margins mostly fluctuated between approximately 32.8% and 42.1%. The highest margins appeared in mid-2021, consistent with the peak in operating income, while dips in certain periods indicate sensitivity to operating and non-operating income variations.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense as a percentage of operating revenues generally ranged from about -6.5% to -9.4%, with a notable decrease in tax burden percentage around early 2023. This may reflect changes in tax rates, credits, or effective tax planning initiatives.
Net Income
Net income margins closely mirrored operating income and pre-tax income trends, ranging mostly from 25.7% to 32.7%. Periods of higher profitability in 2021 followed by some moderation and recovery towards 2025 indicate stable net earnings generation amid fluctuating costs and revenues.
