ArcBest reported a decrease in revenue and net income for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, cost management initiatives helped to mitigate some of the negative effects.
Second quarter 2020 revenue was $627.4 million, compared to $771.5 million in the second quarter of 2019.
Net income for the second quarter of 2020 was $15.9 million, or $0.61 per diluted share.
On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter 2020 net income was $17.6 million, or $0.67 per diluted share.
COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted second quarter business levels and financial results.
ArcBest expects some cost reductions will be restored beginning in the third quarter of 2020, including the restoration of nonunion salaries, the 401(k) company match, and the board fees. The company anticipates that the third quarter 2020 expense associated with these cost restorations will be in an approximate range of $10 million to $15 million.
