Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Historically, the Company reported the results of three individual operating segments: the carrier segment, the global logistics segment and the insurance segment. Beginning in the thirteen-week period ended March 29, 2008, the Company revised the presentation format of its segment disclosure to consolidate the previously reported three segments to two segments: the transportation logistics segment and the insurance segment. This change in segment reporting reflected increased centralization and consolidation of the administrative and sales functions across all of the Company’s operating subsidiaries and the increased similarity of the services provided by the operations of the Company’s various operating subsidiaries, primarily with respect to truck brokerage services. As a result of this change in presentation, the revenue and operating results formerly separated into the carrier and global logistics segments, together with corporate overhead, which was previously included as “other” in the segment information, were consolidated into the transportation logistics segment. This change in segment reporting had no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, income statements, cash flows or changes in shareholders’ equity for any periods. This change in segment reporting also had no impact on financial reporting with respect to the Company’s insurance segment.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is supplemental financial information for the revised presentation format of the Company’s segment disclosure for each fiscal quarter of 2006 and 2007.
The information furnished under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933.
