Fleet management results benefited from a declining impact from prior residual value estimate changes as well as improved lease performance.
Revenue by Segment
Forward Guidance
Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we anticipate returns in supply chain and dedicated to moderate, reflecting seasonality and lower COVID-related activity, and to be within their target ranges for the full year.
Positive Outlook
- In rental, we expect return improvements to accelerate in the fourth quarter due to higher demand and improved utilization.
- In lease, we expect the fleet to continue to decline; however, pricing is expected to be higher reflecting our pricing initiative.
- We anticipate record free cash flow of $1.4 to $1.5 billion in 2020, significantly above the prior year negative free cash flow of $(1.1) billion.
- Additionally, in the fourth quarter we expect to resume our anti-dilutive share repurchase program which was temporarily paused due to COVID-19.
- In the fourth quarter, we will be awarding our front-line employees a special recognition and retention bonus for their extraordinary efforts as essential workers during this pandemic, resulting in a one-time expense of approximately $30 million.
