KNIGHT-SWIFT TRANSPORTATION HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1 — Introduction and Basis of Presentation
Certain acronyms and terms used throughout this Quarterly Report are specific to the Company, commonly used in the trucking industry, or are otherwise frequently used throughout this document. Definitions for these acronyms and terms are provided in the "Glossary of Terms," available in the front of this document.
Description of Business
Knight-Swift is a transportation solutions provider, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. During the first half of 2021, the Company operated an average of 18,129 tractors (comprised of 16,225 company tractors and 1,904 independent contractor tractors) and 60,382 trailers within the Trucking segment. Additionally, the Company operated an average of 605 tractors and 10,844 containers in the Intermodal segment. As of June 30, 2021 , the Company's three reportable segments are Trucking, Logistics, and Intermodal.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in this Quarterly Report include the accounts of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Knight-Swift's 2020 Annual Report. In management's opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and include all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for the fair statement of the periods presented.
With respect to transactional/durational data, references to years pertain to calendar years. Similarly, references to quarters pertain to calendar quarters.
Seasonality
In the transportation industry, results of operations generally follow a seasonal pattern. Freight volumes in the first quarter are typically lower due to less consumer demand, customers reducing shipments following the holiday season, and inclement weather. At the same time, operating expenses generally increase, and tractor productivity of the Company's fleet, independent contractors, and third-party carriers decreases during the winter months due to decreased fuel efficiency, increased cold weather-related equipment maintenance and repairs, and increased insurance claims and costs attributed to higher accident frequency from harsh weather. These factors typically lead to lower operating profitability, as compared to other parts of the year. Additionally, beginning in the latter half of the third quarter and continuing into the fourth quarter, the Company typically experiences surges pertaining to holiday shopping trends toward delivery of gifts purchased over the Internet, as well as the length of the holiday season (consumer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas). However, cyclical changes in the trucking industry, including imbalances in supply and demand, can override the seasonality faced in the industry.
Impact of COVID-19
The Company continues to operate its business through the COVID-19 pandemic, including recent variants, and has taken additional precautions to ensure the safety of its employees, customers, vendors, and the communities in which it operates.
There are various uncertainties that have arisen from the COVID-19 pandemic. While management is continuing to monitor the impact of the pandemic on Knight-Swift, including its employees, customers, independent contractors, stockholders, and other business partners and stakeholders, it is difficult to predict the impact that the pandemic will have on future results of its operations, financial position, and liquidity. This has caused some uncertainties around various accounting estimates. Due to these uncertainties, the Company's accounting estimates may change, as management's assessment of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve.

Note 2 — Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no ASUs issued since the filing date of the 2020 annual report that may have a material impact on the Company.
Note 3 — Acquisitions
AAA Cooper Transportation Acquisition
On July 5, 2021 , the Company acquired 100 % of Dothan, Alabama-based AAA Cooper Transportation and an affiliated entity ("ACT"). ACT is a leading less-than-truckload ("LTL") carrier that also offers dedicated contract carriage and ancillary services.
The total purchase price consideration of $ 1.31 billion included $ 1.30 billion in cash and $ 10.0 million in Knight-Swift shares issued to the sellers at closing. Additionally, the Company assumed $ 36.7 million in debt, net of cash. Cash was funded from the 2021 Term Loan, as well as existing Knight-Swift liquidity. ACT was an S corporation for tax purposes, and the transaction included an election under Internal Revenue Code Section 338(h)(10). The Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants. The results of ACT will be included in our consolidated results beginning in the third quarter of 2021. The Company has not completed the initial accounting for this transaction as it is still in the preliminary stages of assessing the fair value of the underlying tangible and intangible assets.
On July 6, 2021, Knight-Swift entered into the $ 1.2 billion 2021 Term Loan with Bank of America, N.A. The 2021 Term Loan is incremental to, and is separate from, the 2017 Debt Agreement. The 2021 Term Loan was fully funded on July 6, 2021 and there are no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity in October 2022. The interest rate applicable to the 2021 Term Loan is subject to a leverage-based grid and equals the BSBY rate (Bloomberg Short-term Bank Yield index) plus 1.000 % at closing.
The 2021 Term Loan contains similar terms to the 2017 Debt Agreement, including the financial covenants, usual and customary events of default for a facility of this nature, and certain usual and customary restrictions and covenants.
UTXL Enterprises, Inc.
On June 1, 2021 , pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the "SPA") the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired 100.0 % of the equity interests of UTXL Enterprises, Inc. (“UTXL”), a premier third-party logistics company which specializes in over-the-road full truckload and multi-stop loads.
The total purchase price consideration of $ 37.2 million, including cash on hand and net working capital adjustments, consisted of $ 32.2 million in cash to the sellers at closing, which was funded through cash-on-hand and borrowing on the Revolver on the transaction date. At closing $ 2.25 million of the cash consideration was placed in escrow to secure certain of the sellers' indemnification obligations and remains subject to further adjustments.
The purchase price also included contingent consideration consisting of two additional annual payments of up to $ 2.5 million each (or $ 5.0 million in total), representing the maximum possible annual deferred payments to the sellers based on UTXL’s operating ratio and revenue growth targets for each of the twelve-month periods ending May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2023.
For income tax purposes, the sale of UTXL's equity interests to the Company is intended to be treated as a sale and purchase of assets. Accordingly, the book and tax basis of the acquired assets and liabilities are the same as of the purchase date. The SPA contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions.
The goodwill recognized represents expected synergies from combining the operations of UTXL with the Company, including enhanced service offerings, as well as other intangible assets that did not meet the criteria for separate recognition. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — CONTINUED
The purchase price allocation for the acquisition is preliminary and has been allocated based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, pending the completion of the valuation of acquired tangible assets, an independent valuation of certain acquired intangible assets, assessment of lease agreements, assessment of certain liabilities, the calculation of deferred taxes based upon the underlying tax basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and assessment of other tax related items. As the Company obtains more information, the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed below is subject to change. Any future adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation, including changes within identifiable intangible assets or estimation uncertainty impacted by market conditions, may impact future net earnings. The purchase price allocation adjustments can be made through the end of the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

Eleos Acquisition
On February 1, 2021 , pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement ("MIPA"), the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired 79.44 % of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Eleos Technologies, LLC ("Eleos"), a Greenville, South Carolina based software provider, specializing in mobile driving platforms, which complement the Company's suite of services. The total purchase price consideration, including cash on hand and net working capital adjustments, consisted of $ 41.5 million in cash to the sellers at closing, which was funded through cash-on-hand and borrowing on the Revolver on the transaction date. At closing, $ 4.1 million of the cash consideration was placed in escrow to secure certain of the sellers' indemnification obligations and other items.
The MIPA included that both the buyer and sellers would file an election under the Internal Revenue Code Section 754 to adjust the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities, with respect to the buyer's purchase of the equity. The MIPA contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions for transactions of this nature.
The goodwill recognized represents expected synergies from combining the operations of Eleos with the Company, including enhanced service offerings, as well as other intangible assets that did not meet the criteria for separate recognition. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Note 7 — Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate — The quarter-to-date June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 effective tax rates were 25.3 % and 25.0 %, respectively. The year-to-date June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 effective tax rates were 25.5 % and 26.0 %, respectively.
Valuation Allowance — The Company has no t established a valuation allowance as it has been determined that, based upon available evidence, a valuation allowance is not required. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits — Management believes it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $ 0.7 million in unrecognized tax benefits relating to federal deductions may be necessary within the next twelve months.
Interest and Penalties — Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $ 0.4 million and $ 0.3 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Years subsequent to 2015 remain subject to examination.
Note 8 — Accounts Receivable Securitization
On April 23, 2021, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Receivables Sales Agreement ("2021 RSA") which further amended the 2018 RSA. The 2021 RSA is a secured borrowing that is collateralized by the Company's eligible receivables, for which the Company is the servicing agent. The Company's receivable originator subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, undivided interests in all of their eligible accounts receivable to Swift Receivables Company II, LLC ("SRCII") who in turn sells a variable percentage ownership in those receivables to the various purchasers. The Company's eligible receivables are included in "Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2021, the Company's eligible receivables generally have high credit quality, as determined by the obligor's corporate credit rating.
The 2021 RSA is subject to fees, various affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties, and default and termination provisions customary for facilities of this type. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2021. Collections on the underlying receivables by the Company are held for the benefit of SRCII and the various purchasers and are unavailable to satisfy claims of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Note 10 — Contingencies and Legal Proceedings
Legal Proceedings
Information is provided below regarding the nature, status, and contingent loss amounts, if any, associated with the Company's pending legal matters. There are inherent uncertainties in these legal matters, some of which are beyond management's control, making the ultimate outcomes difficult to predict. Moreover, management's views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and the matters continue to develop.
The Company has made accruals with respect to its legal matters where appropriate, which are included in "Accrued liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

However, actual outcomes could be material to the Company's financial position, operating results, or cash flows for any particular period.

Note 14 — Information by Segment and Geography
Segment Information
The Company has three reportable segments: Trucking, Logistics, and Intermodal, as well as the non-reportable segments, discussed below. Based on how economic factors affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue or cash flows, the Company disaggregates revenues by reportable segment for the purposes of applying the ASC Topic 606 guidance.
The Company's twenty-two operating segments are structured around the types of transportation service offerings provided to our customers, as well as the equipment utilized. In addition, the operating segments may be further distinguished by the Company’s respective brands. The Company aggregated these various operating segments into the three reportable segments discussed below based on similarities with both their qualitative and economic characteristics.
Trucking
The Trucking reportable segment is comprised of nine trucking operating segments that provide similar transportation services to our customers utilizing similar transportation equipment over both irregular (one-way movement) and/or dedicated routes. The Trucking reportable segment consists of irregular route and dedicated, refrigerated, expedited, flatbed, and cross-border operations.
Logistics
The Logistics reportable segment is comprised of six logistics operating segments that provide similar transportation services to our customers and primarily consist of brokerage and other freight management services utilizing third-party transportation providers and their equipment.

Intermodal
The Intermodal reportable segment is comprised of two intermodal operating segments that provide similar transportation services to our customers. These transportation services include arranging the movement of customers' freight through third-party intermodal rail services on the Company’s trailing equipment (trailers on flat cars and rail containers), as well as drayage services to transport loads between the railheads and customer locations.
Non-reportable
The non-reportable segments include five operating segments that consist of support services provided to the Company's customers and independent contractors (including repair and maintenance shop services, equipment leasing, warranty services, and insurance), trailer parts manufacturing, warehousing, and certain driving academy activities, as well as certain corporate expenses (such as legal settlements and accruals, certain impairments, and amortization of intangibles related to the 2017 Merger and various acquisitions).
Intersegment Eliminations
Certain operating segments provide transportation and related services for other affiliates outside of their segments. For certain operating segments, such services are billed at cost, and no profit is earned. For the other operating segments, revenues for such services are based on negotiated rates, and are reflected as revenues of the billing segment. These rates are adjusted from time to time, based on market conditions. Such intersegment revenues and expenses are eliminated in Knight-Swift's consolidated results.

Note 15 — Fair Value Measurement
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. The estimated fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Because the fair value is estimated as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments in the future could be significantly different.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments represent management's best estimates of the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. The estimated fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the estimated fair value measurement reflects management's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The following summary presents a description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument.
Restricted Investments, Held-to-Maturity — The estimated fair value of the Company's restricted investments, held-to-maturity, is based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. See Note 4 for additional disclosures regarding restricted investments, held-to-maturity.
Convertible Notes — The estimated fair value of the Company's convertible note is based on probability weighted discounted cash flow analysis of the corresponding pay-off/redemption.
Equity Method Investments — The estimated fair value of the Company's equity method investments are privately negotiated investments. The carrying amount of these investments approximates the fair value.

Equity Securities — The estimated fair value of the Company's investments in equity securities is based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable.
Debt Instruments and Leases — For notes payable under the Revolver and the 2017 Term Loan, fair value approximates the carrying value due to the variable interest rate. The carrying values of the 2021 RSA and 2018 RSA approximate fair value, as the underlying receivables are short-term in nature and only eligible receivables (such as those with high credit ratings) are qualified to secure the borrowed amounts. For finance and operating lease liabilities, the carrying value approximates the fair value, as the Company's finance and operating lease liabilities are structured to amortize in a manner similar to the depreciation of the underlying assets.
Contingent Consideration — The estimated fair value of the Company's contingent consideration owed to sellers is calculated using applicable models and inputs for each acquiree.
Other — Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net accounts receivable, income tax refund receivable, and accounts payable represent financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value, as they are short-term in nature. These instruments are accordingly excluded from the disclosures below. All remaining balance sheet amounts excluded from the below are not considered financial instruments, subject to this disclosure.
