    Strong shipper demand and a solid pricing environment coupled with ArcBest's deep understanding of customer needs resulted in the third record-setting quarter in a row this year for ArcBest's Asset-Based business. Year-over-year tonnage and shipment growth was the result of an emphasis on allocating network resources to serving core LTL customers. Shippers have continued to benefit from ArcBest's assets and facilities throughout its Asset-Based network being used to help solve supply chain challenges. Third quarter 2021 operating income more than doubled compared to the prior-year period and reflected a healthy sequential increase compared to the recent second quarter.

    Third Quarter 2021 Versus Third Quarter 2020

    • Revenue of $371.7 million compared to $267.8 million, a per-day increase of 38.8 percent.
    • Operating income of $11.5 million compared to the prior-year quarter operating income of $5.8 million.
    • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization („Adjusted EBITDA”) of $14.2 million compared to the prior-year quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $8.6 million, as detailed in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables.

    Positive momentum in the ArcBest segment continued in the third quarter with record-setting quarterly revenue and operating income. The ability to positively respond to strong customer demand with innovative solutions contributed to solid revenue growth in the ArcBest segment. Increased demand for expedited and truckload logistics services resulted in higher shipment levels and higher average revenue per shipment. Customers' needs for managed transportation solutions also contributed to third quarter revenue growth and improved operating results. The increase in operating income reflects the benefits of higher revenue, partially offset by increased personnel costs in response to shipment growth and continued investments in technology.

    Increased business volume combined with higher revenue per event contributed to record quarterly revenue for the FleetNet segment and an increase in operating income over the prior year's third quarter.

        I don't ever have many good things to say about Judy... but one thing that's undeniable in my eyes is that she's as smart as a whip and one hell of a CEO from the company's viewpoint. It's just much different from the union side of things... but that isn't her job... that's the job of our union representatives...which IMO... failed to properly represent it's members in the past decade. Opinions vary with many who believe as I do... some say it was that Judy just outsmarted and outmaneuvered our substandard leadership and others think that many in our leadership sold us out. I... myself... think it was a combination of both. But... that's all history now and the fact of the matter is that she was exceptional at her job and came out on top to which I steadfastly will admit... so way to go Judy!!! Just don't get used to my compliments because my perspective will always be coming from what I believe to be in the best interest of the Rank and File... not the company... that's Judy's job... and not the leadership because contrary to today's popular belief... the IBT leadership is not the Teamsters union... the Rank and File is... the IBT is there to represent us... not control us!
