FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
Total revenue of $1.12 billion was up 13% and, net of fuel surcharge, revenue of $1.05 billion was up 19% compared to the prior year period.

Operating income from continuing operations grew 26% to $117.1 million from $92.8 million the prior year period, primarily driven by acquisitions, strong execution across the organization, increased quality of revenue, an asset-right approach, cost efficiencies, and Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy contributions of $6.3 million.

Net income from continuing operations grew 49% to $86.3 million from $58.0 million the prior year period, and net income from continuing operations of $0.91 (CAD $1.18) per diluted share was up relative to $0.70 (CAD $0.92) the prior year period. Adjusted net income, a non-IFRS measure, was $93.4 million, or $0.98 (CAD $1.27) per diluted share, as compared to $60.1 million, or $0.72 (CAD $0.95) per diluted share, the prior year period.

Total revenue grew 16% for Package and Courier, 2% for Truckload and 59% for Logistics, and declined 10% for Less-Than-Truckload, relative to the prior year period. Operating income was higher across all segments in Q4 in comparison to the prior-year.

FULL-YEAR RESULTS
Total revenue was $3.78 billion for 2020 versus $3.90 billion in 2019. Net of fuel surcharge, revenue was $3.48 billion, flat with the prior year.

Operating income from continuing operations totalled $416.6 million, or 12.0% of revenue before fuel surcharge, an increase of 9% compared to $382.9 million and 11.0% of revenue before fuel surcharge in the prior year. The increase is mainly attributable to the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy of $52.3 million offset by a decrease in revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net income from continuing operations was $275.7 million, or $3.03 (CAD $4.06) per diluted share, compared to $244.2 million, or $2.86 (CAD $3.80) per diluted share a year earlier. Adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-IFRS measure, was $299.8 million, or $3.30 (CAD $4.39) per diluted share, compared to $253.6 million, or $2.97 (CAD $3.94) per diluted share the prior year period.

During 2020, total revenue grew 22% for Logistics, and declined 2% for Package and Courier, 19% for Less-Than-Truckload and 8% for Truckload relative to 2019. Operating income was up 7% for Less-Than-Truckload, 7% for Truckload and 48% for Logistics, and down 4% for Package and Courier.

SEGMENTED RESULTS

To facilitate the comparison of business level activity and operating costs between periods, the Company compares the revenue before fuel surcharge (“revenue”) and reallocates the fuel surcharge revenue to materials and services expenses within operating expenses. Note that “Total revenue” is not affected by this reallocation.

CASH FLOW
Net cash from continuing operating activities was $610.9 million during 2020 compared to $500.5 million the prior year. The 22% increase was due to stronger operating performance, reduction of interest payments as a result of lower debt levels, and contributions from acquisitions. The Company returned $105.6 million to shareholders during the year, of which $67.6 million was through dividends and $38.0 million was through share repurchases.

On December 15, 2020, the Board of Directors of TFI International declared a quarterly dividend of $0.23 (CAD $0.29) per outstanding common share payable on January 15, 2021, representing an 14% increase over the $0.20 (CAD $0.26) quarterly dividend declared in Q4 2019.

CHANGE IN PRESENTATION CURRENCY
The Company has elected to change its presentation currency from Canadian dollars (“CAD”) to United States dollars (“U.S. Dollars” or “USD”) effective December 31st, 2020. Due to the Company’s growing market presence in the U.S. with our equity listing in the U.S., financial reporting in USD provides a more relevant presentation of the Company’s financial position in comparison to its peers. The change in presentation currency is a voluntary change which is accounted for retrospectively. For comparative purposes, the historical consolidated financial statements have been restated to U.S. dollars using the procedures outlined below:

• Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, and Cash Flows have been translated into U.S. dollars using average foreign currency rates prevailing for the relevant periods.
• Assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position have been translated into U.S. dollars at the closing foreign currency rates on the relevant balance sheet dates.
• Equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Statements of changes in Equity, including foreign currency translation reserve and net investment hedge, retained earnings, share capital, contributed surplus and other reserves, have been translated into U.S. dollars using historical rates.
• Consolidated Earnings per share and dividend disclosures have also been translated to U.S. dollars to reflect the change in presentation currency.

The Company has also presented an opening consolidated statement of financial position as at January 1, 2019 in USD, which has been derived from the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s consolidated financial statements will now be presented in U.S. dollars. All information in this press release is presented in USD unless otherwise specified.

The Company’s functional currency remains Canadian dollar. Translation gains and losses from the application of the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency while the Canadian dollar is the functional currency are included as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. All financial information presented in U.S. dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company may make statements in this report that reflect its current expectations regarding future results of operations, performance and achievements. These are “forward-looking” statements and reflect management’s current beliefs. They are based on information currently available to management. Words such as “may”, “might”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “foresee”, “believe”, “to its knowledge”, “could”, “design”, “forecast”, “goal”, “hope”, “intend”, “likely”, “predict”, “project”, “seek”, “should”, “target”, “will”, “would” or “continue” and words and expressions of similar import are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results and those presently anticipated or projected.

The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements which reference issues only as of the date made. The following important factors could cause the Company’s actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statement: the highly competitive market conditions, the Company’s ability to recruit, train and retain qualified drivers, fuel price variations and the Company’s ability to recover these costs from its customers, foreign currency fluctuations, the impact of environmental standards and regulations, changes in governmental regulations applicable to the Company’s operations, adverse weather conditions, accidents, the market for used equipment, changes in interest rates, cost of liability insurance coverage, downturns in general economic conditions affecting the Company and its customers, credit market liquidity, and the Company’s ability to identify, negotiate, consummate, and successfully integrate acquisitions.

The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive, and the Company disclaims any subsequent obligation to revise or update any previously made forward-looking statements unless required to do so by applicable securities laws. Unanticipated events are likely to occur. Readers should also refer to the section “Risks and Uncertainties” at the end of the 2020 Q3 MD&A for additional information on risk factors and other events that are not within the Company’s control. The Company’s future financial and operating results may fluctuate as a result of these and other risk factors.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release includes references to certain non-IFRS financial measures as described below. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the international Accounting Standards Board (IFRS) and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

The terms and definitions of the non-IFRS measures used in this press release and a reconciliation of each non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure are provided in the exhibits.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release includes references to certain non-IFRS financial measures as described below. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation, in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The terms and definitions of IFRS and non-IFRS measures used in this press release and a reconciliation of each non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure are provided below.

Adjusted net income: Net income or loss excluding amortization of intangible assets related to business acquisitions, net change in the fair value and accretion expense of contingent considerations, net change in the fair value of derivatives, net foreign exchange gain or loss, impairment of intangible assets, bargain purchase gain, gain or loss on sale of land and buildings, assets held for sale and sale of business, and loss from discontinued operations, net of tax and U.S. Tax Reform. In presenting an adjusted net income and adjusted EPS, the Company’s intent is to help provide an understanding of what would have been the net income and earnings per share in a context of significant business combinations and excluding specific impacts and to reflect earnings from a strictly operating perspective. The amortization of intangible assets related to business acquisitions comprises amortization expense of customer relationships, trademarks and non-compete agreements accounted for in business combinations and the income tax effects related to this amortization. Management also believes, in excluding amortization of intangible assets related to business acquisitions, it provides more information on the amortization of intangible asset expense portion, net of tax, that will not have to be replaced to preserve the Company’s ability to generate similar future cash flows. The Company excludes these items because they affect the comparability of its financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily non-recurring.

Adjusted earnings per share (adjusted “EPS”) – basic: Adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares.

Adjusted EPS – diluted: Adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of diluted common shares.

Adjusted EBITDA: Net income or loss from continuing operations before finance income and costs, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, impairment of intangible assets, bargain purchase gain, and gain or loss on sale of land and buildings, assets held for sale and sale of business.

Segmented adjusted EBITDA refers to operating income (loss) from continuing operations before depreciation, amortization, impairment of intangible assets, bargain purchase gain, and gain or loss on sale of business, land and buildings, and assets held for sale. Management believes adjusted EBITDA to be a useful supplemental measure. Adjusted EBITDA is provided to assist in determining the ability of the Company to assess its performance.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue before fuel surcharge.

Operating margin from continuing operations is calculated as operating income (loss) from continuing operations as a percentage of revenue before fuel surcharge.

Adjusted operating ratio: Operating expenses from continuing operations before impairment of intangible assets, bargain purchase gain, and gain or loss on sale of land and buildings, assets held for sale and sale of business (“Adjusted operating expenses”), net of fuel surcharge revenue, divided by revenue before fuel surcharge. Although the adjusted operating ratio is not a recognized financial measure defined by IFRS, it is a widely recognized measure in the transportation industry, which the Company believes provides a comparable benchmark for evaluating the Company’s performance. Also, to facilitate the comparison of business level activity and operating costs between periods, the Company compares the revenue before fuel surcharge (“revenue”) and reallocates the fuel surcharge revenue to materials and services expenses within operating expenses.
