Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
In August 2014, we announced that John H. Williford, President - Global Supply Chain Solutions would be retiring effective March 2015. We also announced that, upon Mr. Williford's retirement, the Company's dedicated services business would report separately to our Chief Executive Officer, Robert E. Sanchez. As a result of the separate management structure, consistent with accounting policy, our segment reporting structure will change as described below. We believe this change will increase our focus on the industry groups served within SCS, elevate the profile of the Ryder dedicated product line and provide investors greater insight into the Company's consolidated results.
Beginning the period ended March 31, 2015,
| |
• | Supply chain services including dedicated services provided as part of an integrated, multi-service supply chain solution (which utilizes approximately 5,200 vehicles in our fleet) will continue to be reported as Supply Chain Solutions. |
| |
• | Stand-alone dedicated services not provided as part of an integrated, multi-service supply chain solution (which utilizes approximately 7,400 vehicles in our fleet) will be reported separately as Dedicated Transportation Solutions. |
There will be no change to our Fleet Management Solutions reporting segment.
This current report on Form 8-K provides supplemental information regarding the changes to our reporting segments. The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K is being furnished for informational purposes and to provide investors with historical quarterly and annual financial information on a basis consistent with the Company's new segment reporting presentation.
The information included in this Form 8-K does not amend or restate the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and does not modify or update the disclosures in, or reflect events occurring subsequent to the filing of, the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
