Heartland Express

Heartland Express reported Q2 net income of $10.6 million (14 cents per share), a swing from a loss a year earlier, primarily due to a $22 million year‑over‑year gain on equipment sales. Revenue fell 13% year‑over‑year to $184 million and was down 18% excluding fuel; adjusted operating ratio was 88.3% but would be near 103% without the outsized gains. The company reduced net debt by $33 million to $73 million, has $89 million available on its revolver, and plans to continue disposing of excess trailers as used-equipment markets improve. » Mais em finance.yahoo.com
