Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business - -----------------------------------
Consolidated Freightways, Inc. is a company which participates through subsidiaries in various forms of nationwide and regional trucking, truckload and intermodal rail, domestic and international air cargo services, contract logistics and related transportation activities. These operations are organized into three primary business groups: nationwide, full-service trucking (CF MotorFreight), regional trucking and full-service truckload (Con-Way Transportation Services), and air freight (Emery Worldwide). Consolidated Freightways, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1958 as a successor to a business originally established in 1929. It is herein referred to as the "Registrant" or "Company".
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments - -------------------------------------------------
The operations of the Company are primarily conducted in the U.S. and Canada and to a lesser extent in major foreign countries. An analysis by industry group of revenues, operating income (loss), depreciation and capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, and identifiable assets as of those dates is presented in Note 11 on pages 37 and 38 of the 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference. Geographic group information is also presented therein. Intersegment revenues and earnings thereon have been eliminated.
(c) Narrative Description of Business - -------------------------------------
The Company has designated three principal operating groups: the CF MotorFreight Group provides intermediate and long-haul, less-than-truckload freight service in the U.S. and portions of Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, Latin and Central America, Europe and Asia; the Con-Way Transportation Services Group provides regional trucking and intermodal movements of truckload freight, and the Emery Worldwide Group is responsible for all domestic and international air freight activities and ocean container freight services.
CF MOTORFREIGHT ----------------
CF MotorFreight (CFMF), the Company's largest single operating unit, is based in Menlo Park, California. The group is composed of Consolidated Freightways Corporation of Delaware (CFCD), which includes CF MotorFreight and Canadian operating units, and three non-carrier component operations. Its carrier group provides general freight services nationwide and in portions of Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean area, Latin and Central America, Europe and the Pacific Rim countries. Operations consist of an extensive transportation network moving freight that is typically shipments of manufactured or non-perishable processed products having high value and requiring expedited service, compared to the bulk raw materials characteristically transported by railroads, pipelines and water carriers. The basic business of the general freight industry is to transport freight that is less-than-truckload (LTL), an industry designation for shipments weighing less than 10,000 pounds. CFMF is one of the nation's largest motor carriers in terms of 1994 revenues.
Competition has increased with trends toward regionalization, continued pricing pressures and new competitors moving into the small shipment segment of the business. To address this, CFMF undertook major changes to its line- haul operations and terminals beginning in the fourth quarter of 1994. These changes are expected to create new efficiencies and flexibilities by reducing freight handling and make greater use of lower cost rail. When combined with innovative, value-added services, customer partnerships and sole-source contracts, among other services, CFMF expects to offset competitive trends.
As a large carrier of LTL general commodity freight, CFMF has pick-up and delivery fleets in each area served, and a fleet of intercity tractors and trailers. It has a network of 437 U.S. and Canadian freight terminals, metro centers and regional consolidation centers. Certain regional consolidation centers have become metro centers. The metro centers reduce freight handling by allowing more direct city to city service, thereby improving productivity. CFMF operations are supported by a sophisticated data processing system for the control and management of the business.
There is a broad diversity in the customers served, size of shipments, commodities transported and length of haul. No single customer or commodity accounts for more than a small fraction of total revenues.
CFMF operates daily schedules utilizing primarily relay drivers driving approximately eight to ten hours each. Some schedules operate with sleeper teams driving designated routes. Road equipment consists of one tractor pulling two 28-foot double trailers or, to a limited extent, one semi-trailer or three 28-foot trailers. Legislation enacted in 1982 has provided for the use of 28-foot double trailers and 48-foot semi-trailers throughout the United States. (See "State Regulation" below.) Trailers in double or triple combination are more efficient and economical, and safer, than a tractor and single semi-trailer combination. CFMF utilizes trailer equipment 102-inches in width. In 1994, the Company operated in excess of 472 million linehaul miles in North America, about 90% of which was conducted by equipment in doubles and triples configuration. The accident frequency of the triples configuration was better than all other types of vehicle combinations used by the Company.
CFMF and other subsidiaries of CFCD serve Canada through terminals in the
provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan and in the Yukon Territory. The Canadian operations utilize a fleet size of over 1,100 trucks, tractors and trailers.
Employees ---------
Approximately 85% of CFMF's domestic employees are represented by various labor unions, primarily the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT). CFMF and the IBT are parties to a National Master Freight Agreement. The current agreement with the IBT expires in April 1998.
Labor costs, including fringe benefits, average approximately 66% of revenues. CFMF's domestic employment has declined to 20,700 employees at December 31, 1994 from approximately 21,000 at December 31, 1993, primarily the result of several programs during 1994 to streamline the handling and movement of freight by restructuring its linehaul and terminal operations.
Fuel ----
Fuel prices have steadily declined during the last three years. CFMF's average annual diesel fuel cost per gallon (without tax) declined from $.636 in 1992 to $.621 and $.578 in 1993 and 1994, respectively. These savings have been somewhat mitigated by an increase in fuel taxes.
Federal and State Regulation ----------------------------
On July 1, 1980, the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 became effective. The Act made substantial changes in federal regulation of the motor carrier industry. It provided for easier access to the industry by new trucking companies and eased restrictions on expansion of services by existing carriers. In addition, CFMF's operations are subject to a variety of economic regulations by state authorities. Historically, such regulations also covered, among other things, size and weight of motor carrier equipment.
Federal legislation applies to the interstate highway system and to other qualifying federal-aid primary system highways in all states. Full implementation of the federal legislation has been hampered by regulations in certain states, which have imposed trailer length, size and weight limitations on access and intercity routes. These limitations do not conform with the federal requirements and therefore are obstacles to efficient operations. CFMF's mainline operations are designed to avoid locales with these limitations. In August 1994, Federal legislation preempted intrastate operating rights which eliminated certain restrictions on intrastate pricing and operations. As a result, the Company wrote off all its unamortized intrastate operating rights in the third quarter 1994.
Canadian Regulation -------------------
The provinces in Canada have regulatory authority over intra-provincial operations of motor carriers and have been delegated by the federal authority to regulate inter-provincial motor carrier activity. Federal legislation to phase in deregulation of the inter-provincial motor carrier industry took effect January 1, 1988. The new legislation relaxes economic regulation of inter-provincial trucking by easing market entry regulations, and implements effective safety regulations of trucking services under Federal jurisdiction. The Company wrote-off substantially all of the unamortized cost of its Canadian operating authority in 1992.
Menlo Logistics ---------------
Menlo Logistics Inc. (MLI), founded in 1990, provides customized single- source logistics solutions for manufacturing, industrial and retail businesses. These services include carrier management, dedicated fleet and warehouse operations, just-in-time delivery programs, customer order processing and freight bill payment and auditing. MLI has approximately 500 employees. As a relatively new industry, competition is expected to come from new entrants into the markets it serves. MLI will address the increased competition by utilizing technologies and its established experience.
Non-Carrier Operations ----------------------
Two non-carrier operations within the CF MotorFreight Group generate a majority of their sales from other companies within the CF Group. Road Systems, Inc. primarily manufactures trailers. Willamette Sales Co. serves as a distributor of heavy-duty truck, marine and construction equipment parts.
CON-WAY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES -------------------------------
Con-Way Transportation Services, Inc. (CTS) is an operating company with business units that provide regional LTL freight trucking, full-service truckload freight delivery utilizing highway over-the-road and intermodal rail stack train resources for transcontinental, inter-regional and regional transportation; local and interstate container drayage and international shipping. CTS has four operating units and approximately 10,000 employees. The regional companies face more competition as national LTL companies extend into regional markets, and acquire and combine formerly independent regional carriers into inter-regional groups. New service offerings, continued expansion of regional carrier networks, extension of next-day and second-day service standards and enhanced inter-regional network capabilities are positioning the Con-Ways for growth opportunities. Refer to the CF MotorFreight section for a discussion of federal and state regulations.
Con-Way Regional Carriers -------------------------
CTS has three regional motor carriers each of which operate dedicated regional trucking networks principally serving core geographic territories with next-day and second-day service. The regional carriers serve manufacturing, industrial, commercial and retail business-to-business customers with a fleet in excess of 16,700 trucks, tractors and trailers.
Con-Way Western Express, Inc. (CWX) was founded in May 1983 and today operates in 11 western states and serves Canada and Mexico. In 1994, CWX expanded operations to include Utah and Colorado. At December 31, 1994, CWX operated 74 service centers. In January 1995, CWX expanded operations into Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Vancouver, British Columbia, opening 22 new service centers in the Pacific Northwest.
Con-Way Central Express, Inc. (CCX) was founded in June 1983 and today serves 22 states of the central and northeast U.S., and Ontario, Canada. CCX expanded into the New England states in 1994 and at December 31 operated 187 service centers. In February 1995, CCX expanded into New Jersey and began providing service for metropolitan New York City.
Con-Way Southern Express, Inc., and Con-Way Southwest Express, Inc., were founded in April 1987 and November 1989, respectively. In December 1994, the two carriers were combined into a single operating unit under the Con-Way Southern Express, Inc., (CSE) name serving a 12-state southern market from Texas to the Carolinas and Florida, and encompassing Puerto Rico and Mexico. CSE operated 92 service centers at December 31, 1994.
A service expansion program initiated by CTS in 1994 allows the regional carriers to provide next-day and second-day freight delivery between their principal geographic regions, utilizing existing infrastructure. The program generates additional business by allowing each carrier to compete for new traffic and provide coverage of regional markets lanes not individually serviced as part of the carrier's core territory.
Con-Way Truckload Service -------------------------
Con-Way Truckload Services Inc., (CWT), formerly known as Con-Way Intermodal, is a full-service, multi-modal truckload company. It provides door-to-door transcontinental movement of truckload shipments by rail container stack train and rail trailer, utilizing nationwide operating alliances with major railroads. It also provides expedited inter-regional and regional over-the- road truckload service with a fleet of company-owned trucks and trailers. Additionally, the company provides rail freight forwarding with domestic intermodal marketing services, assembly and distribution services, local and interstate container drayage and international shipping.
EMERY WORLDWIDE ---------------
Emery Worldwide (EWW), the Company's air freight unit, was formed when the Company purchased Emery Air Freight Corporation in April 1989 and merged it with its air freight operation, CF AirFreight, Inc. The combined companies expanded EWW's ability to deliver air freight within North America and to 89 countries worldwide.
EWW provides global air cargo services through an integrated freight system designed for the movement of parcels and packages of all sizes and weights. In North America, EWW provides these services through a system of sales offices and terminals, and overseas through foreign subsidiaries, branches and agents.
EWW provides door-to-door service within North America by using its own airlift system, supplemented with commercial airlines. International services are performed by operating primarily as an air freight forwarder, using commercial airlines, and with controlled lift, only when necessary. Emery also operates approximately 1,300 trucks, vans and tractors.
As of December 31, 1994, EWW utilized a fleet of 69 aircraft, 42 of which are leased on a long-term basis, 9 are owned and 18 are contracted on a short- term basis to supplement nightly volumes and to provide feeder services. The nightly lift capacity of the aircraft fleet, excluding charters, is approximately 4.0 million pounds.
Emery Worldwide's hub-and-spoke system is centralized at the Dayton International Airport where a leased air cargo facility (Hub) and related support facilities are located. The Hub handles all types of shipments, ranging from small packages to heavyweight cargo, with a total effective sort capacity of approximately 1.2 million pounds per hour. The operation of the Hub in conjunction with EWW's airlift system enables it to maintain a high level of service reliability.
Through a separate subsidiary of the Company, Emery Worldwide Airlines, Inc. (EWA), the Company provides nightly cargo airline services under a contract with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to carry Express and Priority Mail, using 23 aircraft, 6 of which are leased on a long-term basis and 17 are owned. The original contract for this operation was awarded to EWA in 1989 and had been renewed and extended through early January 1994. A ten year USPS contract was awarded to the Company during 1993 with service beginning in January 1994.
The Company has recognized approximately $112 million, $138 million and $141 million of revenue in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, from contracts to carry Express and Priority Mail for the U.S. Postal Service.
Customers ---------
EWW services, among others, the automotive, aviation, machinery, metals, electronic and electrical equipment, chemical, apparel, film and technology industries. Service industries and governmental entities also utilize EWW's services. Both U.S. and International operations of EWW have wide customer bases.
Competition -----------
The heavy air-freight market within North American is highly competitive and price sensitive. EWW has the largest market share in the heavy air-freight segment. EWW competes with other integrated air freight carriers as well as freight forwarders. The North Atlantic market is especially price sensitive due to the abundance of airlift capacity. However, less competition is expected from passenger airlines as many continue to downsize their widebody aircraft.
Competition in the international markets is also service and price sensitive. In these markets, which are more fragmented than the domestic market, EWW competes with both United States and international airlines and air freight forwarders.
Customers are seeking companies such as EWW with combined integrated carrier and freight forwarding capabilities for flexible, cost effective service. EWW believes this infrastructure and the convenience of its extensive network of worldwide terminal, agent and service locations are its principal methods of competing in the market in which it operates.
Regulation ----------
Regulation of Air Transportation --------------------------------
The air transportation industry is subject to federal regulation by the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (Aviation Act) and regulations issued by the Department of Transportation (DOT) pursuant to the Aviation Act. EWW, as an air freight forwarder, and EWA, as an airline, are subject to different regulations. Air freight forwarders are exempted from most DOT economic regulations and they are not subject to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety regulations so long as they do not have operational control of aircraft. Airlines are subject to economic regulation by DOT and maintenance, operating and other safety-related regulation by FAA. Thus, EWA and other airlines conducting operations for EWW are subject to DOT and FAA regulation while EWW, itself, is not covered by most DOT and FAA regulations.
Regulation of Ground Transportation -----------------------------------
When EWW provides ground transportation of cargo having a prior or subsequent air movement, the ground transportation is exempt from regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC). However, EWW holds ICC and intrastate motor carrier authorities which can be utilized in providing non-exempt ground transportation. Registration of ICC authorities is required in each state where a motor carrier conducts non-exempt operations, and some states also have required EWW to register as an exempt interstate operator.
Environmental Matters ---------------------
During recent years, operations at several airports have been subject to restrictions or curfews on arrivals or departures during certain night-time hours designed to reduce or eliminate noise for surrounding residential areas. None of these restrictions have materially affected EWW's operations. If such restrictions were to be imposed with respect to the airports at which EWW's activities are centered and no alternative airports were available to serve the affected areas, EWW's operations could be more adversely affected.
As provided in Section 611 of the Aviation Act, the FAA with the assistance of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is authorized to establish aircraft noise standards. Under the National Emission Standards Act of 1967, as amended by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1970, the administrator of the EPA is authorized to issue regulations setting forth standards for aircraft emissions. EWW believes that its present fleet of owned, leased or chartered aircraft is operating in compliance with the applicable noise and emission laws.
The Aviation Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 was passed in November of 1990 to establish a national aviation noise policy. The FAA has promulgated regulations under this Act regarding the phase-in requirements for compliance. This legislation and the related regulations will require all of EWW's and EWA's owned and leased aircraft to either undergo modifications or otherwise comply with Stage 3 noise restrictions by year-end 1999.
Fuel and Supplies Cost ----------------------
EWW purchases substantially all of its jet fuel from major oil companies, refiners and trading companies on annual contracts with prepaid and/or volume discounts. These contract purchases are supplemented by spot purchases. The weighted average price of domestic jet fuel declined in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The 1994 domestic cost per gallon was approximately $.59 compared with 1993 and 1992 weighted average prices of approximately $.64 and $.67 per gallon, respectively.
EWW believes that it has the flexibility to continue its operations without material interruption unless there are significant curtailments of its jet fuel supplies. Neither EWW nor the operators of the aircraft it charters have experienced or anticipate any fuel supply problems. There is
a four-million gallon fuel storage facility at the Hub.
Employees ---------
As of December 31, 1994, EWW had approximately 8,000 full and permanent part-time employees as compared to 7,500 in 1993 and 6,700 in 1992. Approximately 14% of these employees are covered by union contracts.
GENERAL - -------
The research and development activities of the Company are not significant.
During 1994, 1993 and 1992 there was no single customer of the Company that accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues.
The total number of employees is presented in the "Ten Year Financial Summary" on pages 40 and 41 of the 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company has been designated a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) by the EPA with respect to the disposal of hazardous substances at various sites. The Company expects its share of the clean-up cost to be immaterial. The Company expects the costs of complying with existing and future federal, state and local environmental regulations to continue to increase. On the other hand, they do not anticipate that such cost increases will have any materially adverse effects on capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales ----------------------------------------
Information as to revenues, operating income (loss) and identifiable assets for each of the Company's business segments and for its foreign operations for 1994, 1993 and 1992 is contained in Note 11 on page 37 and 38 of the 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference.
