Read past the headlines
While YRC Worldwide continues the work to complete the final phase of our comprehensive restructuring plan, competitors are making noise about a simple by-product of current negotiations among stakeholders. As one of our important stakeholders, you deserve the facts--not noise and confusion.
Recent developments
On Feb. 28, the company's lender group and union approved a non-binding agreement in principle for the comprehensive restructuring for YRC Worldwide. On March 10, a pension fund majority provided their non-binding acceptance of all the terms except for the stated interest rate on the deferred pension payment balance. This wasn't acceptable to some of the lenders.
It's nothing unusual; it's all part of the negotiating process. But the language in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC is creating an unusual amount of noise. Rating agency reports also have drawn attention, but their current ratings are not a surprise throughout the restructuring period. We expect them to reevaluate once the restructuring is complete.
Dramatic headlines
We believe the significance of these actions has been overstated by competitors and the media. The pension plans didn't provide their non-binding acceptance of all the terms by the target date. The "milestone failure" is a technical failure under the company's credit agreement, but importantly, the administrative agent for the lender group does not recommend that the lenders take related action at this time.
As the IBT told members: "This missed deadline has been greatly overstated and is not particularly significant to the overall restructuring process. Unfortunately, the union understands that YRCW's competitors are trying to use this recent news to their advantage. We ask our members to not fall prey to the exaggerated headlines and to not let YRCW's customers do so either."
Signs of progress
As work is done toward completion of the restructuring, we continue to see positive signs for the future:
- A new JP Morgan report reads "'Milestone Failure' Is Probably Noise; Credit Markets Imply Restructuring Likely ...." The report goes on to note YRCW Term Loan trading in the mid-'90s and Revolver trading at a price above par. The market value of YRC Worldwide debt has been trading significantly higher--indicating confidence in the outcome of the restructuring.
- We are seeing healthy shipment volumes. Our analysis of the top LTL carrier's shipments, weight and revenue levels indicate YRCW's market share has stabilized and is improving.
- Because of our confidence in the future, we're making an investment by expanding our sales team.
We'll continue to provide updates as the restructuring moves toward completion. We know that the headlines and speculation can be distracting. But we are not distracted: As always, our focus remains on serving the transportation and logistics needs of our customers.

Lesen Sie hinter den Schlagzeilen
Während YRC weltweit die Arbeit fortsetzt, um die Endphase unseres kompletten Umstrukturierungsplans abzuschließen, bilden Konkurrenten Geräusche über eine einfache Nebenerscheinung der gegenwärtigen Vermittlungen unter Verwahrern. Als einer unserer wichtigen Verwahrer, verdienen Sie die Tatsachen--nicht Geräusche und Durcheinander.
Neuentwicklungen
Am 28. Februar genehmigten der Stelledie gruppe Firma und der Anschluss eine non-binding Vereinbarung prinzipiell für die komplette Umstrukturierung für YRC weltweit. Am 10. März stellte eine Pensionsfondsmajorität ihre non-binding Annahme aller Ausdrücke außer dem angegebenen Zinssatz auf der aufgeschobenen Pensionzahlungsbalance zur Verfügung. Dieses war nicht für einige der kreditgebenden Stellen annehmbar.
Es ist ungewöhnliches nichts; es ist alles Teil des Verhandlungsprozesses. Aber die Sprache in der Form 10-K, die mit der sek archiviert wird, verursacht eine ungewöhnliche Menge Geräusche. Ratingfirmareports auch haben Aufmerksamkeit gezeichnet, aber ihre gegenwärtigen Bewertungen sind nicht eine Überraschung während des Umstrukturierungzeitraums. Wir erwarten sie, um neu zu bewerten, sobald die Umstrukturierung komplett ist.
Drastische Schlagzeilen
Wir glauben, dass die Bedeutung dieser Tätigkeiten durch Konkurrenten und die Mittel übertrieben worden ist. Die Rentenversicherungen stellten ihre non-binding Annahme aller Ausdrücke nicht bis zu dem Stichdatum zur Verfügung. Der „Meilensteinausfall“ ist ein technischer Ausfall unter der Gutschriftvereinbarung der Firma, aber wichtig, empfiehlt das Verwaltungsmittel für die Stellegruppe nicht, dass die kreditgebenden Stellen in Verbindung stehende Maßnahmen diesmal ergreifen.
Als das IBT erklärt Mitglieder: „Dieser fehlende Stichtag ist groß übertrieben worden und ist nicht zum Gesamtumstrukturierungprozeß besonders bedeutend. Leider versteht der Anschluss, dass Konkurrenten YRCWS versuchen, diese neuen Nachrichten zu ihrem Vorteil zu verwenden. Wir bitten unsere Mitglieder, Opfer nicht auf die übertriebenen Schlagzeilen zu fallen und YRCWS nicht zu lassen tun Kunden so irgendein.“
Zeichen des Fortschritts
Wie Arbeit in Richtung zur Beendigung der Umstrukturierung erledigt wird, fahren wir fort, Pluszeichen während der Zukunft zu sehen:
- Ein neues JP Morgan, den Report „„Meilenstein-Ausfall“ liest, ist vermutlich Geräusche; Kreditmärkte deuten Umstrukturierung wahrscheinlich…. an“ Der Report fährt fort, das YRCW Ausdruck-Darlehen zu merken, das in den Mid-90 und im Revolver handeln zu einem Preis über Gleichheit handelt. Der Marktwert YRC der weltweiten Schuld hat erheblich höher gehandelt--Anzeige des Vertrauens im Resultat der Umstrukturierung.
- Wir sehen gesunde Versandvolumen. Unsere Analyse des Versandes der Oberseite LTL-Fördermaschine, Gewicht und Einkommensniveaus zeigen an, dass Marktanteil YRCWS stabilisiert hat und verbessert.
- Wegen unseres Vertrauens zukünftig, bilden wir eine Investition, indem wir unsere Verkaufsmannschaft erweitern.
Wir fahren fort, Updates zur Verfügung zu stellen, während die Umstrukturierung in Richtung zur Beendigung sich bewegt. Wir wissen, dass die Schlagzeilen und die Betrachtung ablenken können. Aber wir werden nicht abgelenkt: Als immer, bleibt unser Fokus auf dem Entsprechen der Transport- und Logistiknotwendigkeiten unserer Kunden.
YRC WORLDWIDE FINANCIAL FACT SHEET: Important facts about the YRC Worldwide financial strategy (03/28/2011)
http://insight.yrcw.com/20110328_Financial_Fact_Sheet.pdf...sagte heute morgen, dass Plutonium im Boden nicht gefährlich sei.
Alles super, oder?
Will sagen, dass YRC die Lage auf Ihre Sicht darstellt, will nichts heißen, denn dieses Update war gestern bereits public. Und der Kurs? Hmmm....
Mal sehen, gleich geht´s los.
Aber ich merke schon du meinst das eher ironisch ;).
wobei du einen Punkt machst. Unternehmen stellen Sachen so dar wie es ihnen gerade passt (nicht unbedingt den Equity Shareholdern) oder wie die Wahrheit aussieht.
Dennoch denke ich das sie auf Kurs liegen.
so nun müssen wir noch 47.500 Millonen andere überzeugen
ne ne ist nicht schlecht was da steht,
ich glaube wir bekommen gerade die kurve und dann......

Danke Prinz die Transportzahlen sind erheblich besser als im letzten 1 Q. So langsam nähern wir uns den 50.000. Und das nationale Geschäft das die größe Stütze von yrcw ist hat ja auch kräftig zugelegt sonst würden nich 1000 neue Mitarbeiter benötigt. Laut aktuellenberichten müste das Transportvolumenj ungefähr i, 1 Quartal um 8,5 % zugelegt haben.
Vielleicht wird bewußt gewartet bei den Umfinazierungsmaßnahmen aufs 1.Quartal. Dann hat man wieder ne ganz andere Basis in der Krdeitverhandlung .
Hot Stock Alert – YRC Worldwide bounces amid Tonnage Recovery and Default Fears
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011 in Blog : by Admin
he shares of YRC Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq: YRCW) soared 50% over the last three trading days, hitting $1.99 on March 22 on volumes that more than doubled its 90-day average. The recent surge was driven by recovering freight volumes in 2011 as well as the trucking company’s announcement that it plans to hire nearly 1,000 drivers this year.
Despite the growth, YRCW shares lost 42% in 2011 due to challenging conditions in the trucking industry that caused the company to lose money over the last three years. The company is currently struggling to avoid bankruptcy under a heavy debt load and tough competition. It negotiated with its lenders to soften the terms of its debt, asked workers to accept pay cuts, proposed debt-to-equity swaps and sold real estate to continue operations. With a 52-week range of $1.19-$20, the March 22 trade is in the lower end of that range.
For the full year 2010, YRCW reported a net loss of $322 million or $8.13 per share, compared to a net loss of $622 million for 2009. The revenue in 2010 declined 12% to $4.3 billion from $4.9 billion in 2009.
The trucking company has recently reported that it failed to get the necessary approvals, from certain pension funds, for its financial restructuring plan to convert some of its debt into stock. Accordingly, lenders could declare the company in default and push it toward bankruptcy immediately. While the lenders have not yet indicated they are going to declare YRCW in default, a number of rating agencies downgraded the company’s credit rating implying highly speculative or junk class.
The trucking industry was beaten exceptionally hard during the economic crisis with nearly 2000 companies wiped out of business and others shrinking the size of their fleets. Only in 2010 demand begun to recover, giving truckers improved fundamentals. For 2010, the trucking tonnage was up 5.7% compared with 2009, according to American Trucking Associations (ATA). During the first two months of 2011, the trucking tonnage continued the upward march with a year over year growth rate of 7.6% in January and 4.2% in February. ATA estimates were also confirmed by the financial reports from the major tracking companies, which evidenced that shipment weights and load counts are both increasing as various markets recover. Truck freight volume, however, remains quite unpredictable.
Over the last quarters, YRCW has begun to show signs of recovery, albeit at a lower pace than its competitors. The company’s revenue increased 3.9% to $1.09 billion in Q4 2010 from 1.05 billion in Q4 2009, beating analysts’ average forecast of $1.07 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
As a part of recovery plan, YRCW has been selling assets, reducing costs through layoffs, while working to recapitalize and reduce the debt levels. During 2010, it succeeded to shrink the debt by $73 million. The debt balance of $1.05 billion, as of December 31, 2010, threatens severely the company’s ability to continue operations, despite the improvements in cash flow generation. In addition, the deal to convert more than $470 million debt to equity was recently halted raising the default likelihood.
Going forward, YRCW plans to continue negotiations to soften the huge debt pressure, while continuing cutting on expenses and optimizing the fleet management to create greater density moving to and from its delivery terminals. Favorable industry trends combined with an optimized cost structure and highly leveraged balance sheet positions YRCW well to generate significant returns to its shareholders if it succeeds to breakeven. However, the company failed to keep up the recovery speed at the industry’s level in 2010, losing market share to its direct competitors, which reported better growth rates and momentum in 2010.
As the freight levels are expected to keep up the same growth pace in 2011, YRCW has another opportunity to capture the industry’s expansion and with a better cost structure to breakeven. However, the analyst consensus is betting that YRCW will continue reporting losses in 2011 and 2012 on flat revenue. The default threat as well as pending dilution to existing shareholders could further take a toll on the company’s valuation.

Das Unternehmen ist auch nicht für andere Konkurrenten interessant.
Ich würde mir wünschen, dass es anders wäre, da ich leider noch viele Aktien von dieser Schrottfirma habe.
Ferner muss ich sagen , dass hier viele nicht die englischen Firmennachrichten lesen können, da ihnen entweder die betriebswirstschaftlichen Kenntnisse fehlen, oder sie einfach nicht englisch können.
Warum ich noch in der Aktie bin, weil es mir auf die letzten 12000

Sector Snap: Less-than-truckload carriers
Citi analyst thinks lee-than-truckload industry beginning steady recovery of prices, volume
NEW YORK (AP) -- A Citi Investment Research analyst said Wednesday that the less-than-truckload industry is "showing signs of a sustainable recovery," which should lead to price increases and better margins for truckers.
Both freight volume and prices are improving faster than expected in the first quarter despite severe winter weather and rising fuel prices, Christian Wetherbee noted.
For LTL carriers Arkansas Best Corp. and Old Dominion Freight Line Inc., Wetherbee expects volume to grow by about 18 percent, on average. Including Con-way Inc., he predicts that prices will rise about 4 percent.
The analyst upgraded shares of Arkansas Best to "Hold" from "Sell," noting the stock's recent decline. He thinks better prices should give the company better leverage and allow it to return to profitability in the second quarter. Wetherbee also raised his earnings estimates for the Fort Smith, Ark.-based trucker.
He also raised his estimates for Old Dominion and Con-way, while maintaining "Hold" ratings. Old Dominion continues to gain a bigger slice of the market, but the analyst thinks margins will grow at a slower pace than its peers. Con-way, on the other hand, should see sharp increases in margins, he predicts.
Although he's optimistic about a recovery, Wetherbee said trucking capacity still remains high and pricing is rebounding from very low levels, which may mean margins won't accelerate as fast as expected. All his predictions assume that LTL carrier YRC Worldwide Inc., which is saddled with debt, remains in business.
Less-than-truckload operators take freight from several shippers and redistribute it at terminals. That's opposed to truckload carriers that take freight directly from one shipper to a recipient such as a retail store.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/...oad-apf-2360287282.html?x=0&.v=1
Less-than-truckload carriers say they increasingly are handling heavier freight typically moved by truckload carriers as capacity in that sector tightens.
Heavier freight is showing up in increased tonnage and average shipment weights from YRC Worldwide's Holland to Saia and Old Dominion Freight Line.
That additional freight is chipping away excess LTL capacity and encouraging carriers to hire or rehire drivers, according to trucking executives.
Some LTL carriers say they are limiting the amount of heavy freight they receive or raising rates on spot shipments and heavier freight to improve yield.
"We've seen a huge increase in shipments over 8,000 pounds since November," said Jeff Rogers, president of Holland, YRC Worldwide's Midwestern LTL subsidiary.
Holland is seeking 1,000 drivers to handle the rising regional LTL freight volume fueling a turnaround at YRC Worldwide's regional carrier group.
"We've had to limit those (heavier) shipments and turn off the ability (for shippers) to get spot quotes, because I just don't have the capacity," said Rogers.
ODFL already raised rates for spot freight, said David Congdon, president and CEO, blunting a 6.9 percent third quarter increase in weight per shipment.
That leaves more room in its 28-foot trailers for more profitable LTL freight, he said.
At Saia, LTL tonnage shot up 6.1 percent in the fourth quarter, far outpacing a more tepid 1.8 percent increase in LTL shipments and eating into capacity.
"There's more tonnage coming back," said Rick O'Dell, president and CEO. Some of that tonnage is shifting from truckload trailers to his LTL network, he said.
"In a soft market, a truckload carrier is willing to take three 10,000 pound shipments (on one trailer), but in a tight market, he won't do that," said O'Dell.
As truckload carriers "reserve" capacity for more profitable, higher priced freight, LTL capacity will tighten, pushing up LTL rates, O'Dell said.
Tighter truckload capacity "makes it easier for us to pass on increases, even though I anticipate a slow recovery," O'Dell told The Journal of Commerce.

bezeichnend ist, dass durch die schlechten news, welche zum prompten vorläufigen absturz geführt haben, nach den revidierungen durch yrc selbst, keine gänzliche erholung stattfand. ich denke zur zeit sind viele anleger in usa doch sehr irritiert was das angeht. ich werde hier hopp oder topp fahren. die verluste bisher sind für mich momentaufnahmen, bin aber hier auch nur mit 10% meines depot drin. auch wenn ich zeitweise geschockt bin/war, ich glaube da geht noch was. meine meinung.
Zur Zeit sind die News sehr positiv und lassen hoffen das YRC eine positiven Zukunft entgegen geht.
Geduld ist jetzt angesagt...
Hoffen wir das beste für uns alle ;-))
