Represents shares earned in excess of target under the May 1, 2015 RSU award as total shareholder return exceeded the target under the award.
During the twenty-six-week
period ended June 26, 2021, the Company granted RSUs with a performance condition. Outstanding RSUs at both December 26, 2020 and June 26, 2021 include RSUs with a performance condition and RSUs with a market condition, as further described below and in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
RSUs with a performance condition granted on January 29, 2021 may vest on January 31 of 2024, 2025 and 2026 based on growth in operating income and pre-tax
income per diluted share from continuing operations as compared to the results from the 2020 fiscal year, adjusted to reflect the add back of non-cash
impairment charges recorded in the Company’s 2020 fiscal year related to certain assets, primarily customer contract and related customer relationship intangible assets, held by the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries.
The Company recognized approximately $ 9,249,000 and ($ 308,000 ) of share-based compensation expense/(benefit) related to RSU awards in the twenty-six-week
periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. As of June 26, 2021, there was a maximum of $ 33.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSU awards granted under the Plans with an expected average remaining life of approximately 3.3 years. With respect to RSU awards with a performance condition, the amount of future compensation expense to be recognized will be determined based on future operating results.
Non-vested

$

The fair value of each share of non-vested
restricted stock issued and Deferred Stock Unit granted under the Plans is based on the fair value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Shares of non-vested
restricted stock are generally subject to vesting in three equal annual installments either on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of the grant or the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the date of the grant, or 100 % on the first or fifth anniversary of the date of the grant. For restricted stock awards granted under the 2013 DSCP plan, each recipient may elect to defer receipt of shares and instead receive restricted stock units (“Deferred Stock Units”), which represent contingent rights to receive shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of recipient separation from service from the Board of Directors, or, if earlier, upon a change in control event of the Company. Deferred Stock Units become vested 100 % on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. Deferred Stock Units do not represent actual ownership in shares of the Company’s common stock and the recipient does not have voting rights or other incidents of ownership until the shares are issued. However, Deferred Stock Units do contain the right to receive dividend equivalent payments prior to settlement into shares.

Table of Contents
As of June 26, 2021, there was

521,000 and $
1,071,000 , respectively.
As of June 26, 2021, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under the Plans.
(3)
Income Taxes
The provisions for income taxes for the 2021 and 2020 twenty-six-week
periods were based on estimated annual effective income tax rates of 24.4 % and 24.2 %, respectively, adjusted for discrete events, such as benefits resulting from stock-based awards. The increase in the estimated annual effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to increased anticipated nondeductible executive compensation during the 2021 period. The effective income tax rate for the 2021 twenty-six-week
period was 24.1 %, which was higher than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21 % primarily attributable to state taxes and nondeductible
executive compensation, partially offset by excess tax benefits realized on stock-based awards. The effective income tax rate for the 2020 twenty-six-week
period was 22.7 %, which was higher than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21 % primarily attributable to state taxes and the meals and entertainment exclusion, partially offset by state tax refunds and excess tax benefits realized on stock-based awards.
(4)
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including outstanding non-vested
restricted stock and outstanding Deferred Stock Units. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares and Deferred Stock Units outstanding plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of all dilutive stock options. During the 2021 and 2020 twenty-six-week
and thirteen-week periods, in reference to the determination of diluted earnings per share, the future compensation cost attributable to outstanding shares of non-vested
restricted stock exceeded the impact of incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of all dilutive stock options.
For each of the twenty-six-week
periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, no options outstanding to purchase shares of common stock were antidilutive. Outstanding RSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for all periods because the performance metric requirements or market condition for vesting had not been satisfied.

Additional Cash Flow Information
During the 2021 twenty-six-week
period, Landstar paid income taxes and interest of $ 51,679,000 and $ 1,883,000 , respectively. During the 2020 twenty-six-week
period, Landstar paid income taxes and interest of $ 16,198,000 and $ 2,057,000 , respectively. Landstar did no t acquire any operating property by entering into finance leases in the 2021 twenty-six-week
period. Landstar acquired operating property by entering into finance leases in the amount of $ 7,485,000 in the 2020 twenty-six-week
period.

Investments
Investments include primarily investment-grade corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury obligations having maturities of up to five years (the “bond portfolio”) and money market investments. Investments in the bond portfolio are reported as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Investments maturing less than one year from the balance sheet date are included in short-term investments and investments maturing more than one year from the balance sheet date are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Management performs an analysis of the nature of the unrealized losses on available-for-sale investments to determine whether an allowance for credit loss is necessary. Unrealized losses, representing the excess of the purchase price of an investment over its fair value as of the end of a period, considered to be a result of credit-related factors, are to be included as a charge in the statement of income, while unrealized losses considered to be a result of noncredit-related factors are to be included as a component of shareholders’ equity. Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets are classified within Level 1. Investments that trade in markets that are not considered
13
Table of Contents
to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, are classified within Level 2. As Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information. Any transfers between levels are recognized as of the beginning of any reporting period. Fair value of the bond portfolio was determined using Level 1 inputs related to U.S. Treasury obligations and money market investments and Level 2 inputs related to investment-grade corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and direct obligations of government agencies. Unrealized gains, net of unrealized losses, on the investments in the bond portfolio were
$ 2,452,000 at June 26, 2021 and $ 3,578,000 at December 26, 2020, respectively.

The Company believes unrealized losses on investments were primarily caused by rising interest rates rather than changes in credit quality. The Company expects to recover, through collection of all of the contractual cash flows of each security, the amortized cost basis of these securities as it does not intend to sell, and does not anticipate being required to sell, these securities before recovery of the cost basis. For these reasons, no losses have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Leases
Landstar’s noncancelable leases are primarily comprised of finance leases for the acquisition of new trailing equipment. Each finance lease for the acquisition of trailing equipment is a five year lease with a $ 1 purchase option for the applicable equipment at lease expiration. Substantially all of Landstar’s operating lease right-of-use
assets and operating lease liabilities represent leases for facilities maintained in support of the Company’s network of BCO Independent Contractors and office space used to conduct Landstar’s business. These leases do not have significant rent escalation holidays, concessions, leasehold improvement incentives or other build-out
clauses. Further, the leases do not contain contingent rent provisions. Landstar also leases certain trailing equipment to supplement the Company-owned trailer fleet under “month-to-month”
lease terms, which are not required to be recorded on the balance sheet due to the less than twelve month lease term exemption. Sublease income is primarily comprised of weekly trailing equipment rentals to our BCO Independent Contractors.
Most of Landstar’s operating leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at Landstar’s sole discretion, and, as such, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in the right-of-use
assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. Landstar regularly evaluates the renewal options, and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, Landstar includes the renewal period in the lease term.
As most of Landstar’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, Landstar utilized its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. Landstar has a centrally managed treasury function; therefore, based on the applicable lease terms and the current economic environment, we apply a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate.

Debt
Other than the finance lease obligations as presented on the consolidated balance sheets, the Company had no outstanding debt as of June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020.
On August 18, 2020 , Landstar entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement, which matures on August 18, 2023, provides $ 250,000,000 of borrowing capacity in the form of a revolving credit facility, $ 35,000,000 of which may be utilized in the form of letters of credit. The Credit Agreement includes an “accordion” feature providing for a possible increase up to an aggregate borrowing capacity of $ 400,000,000 .
The revolving credit loans under the Credit Agreement, at the option of Landstar, bear interest at (i) the Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25 % to 2.00 %, or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25 % to 1.00 %, in each case with the applicable margin determined based upon the Company’s Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, at the end of the most recent applicable fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered. The revolving credit facility bears a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, of 0.25 % to 0.35 %, based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio at the end of the most recent applicable fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered. As of June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
16
Table of Contents
The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that limit, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness. The Company is required to, among other things, maintain a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and maintain a Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, below a specified maximum. The Credit Agreement provides for a restriction on cash dividends and other distributions to stockholders on the Company’s capital stock to the extent there is a default under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Credit Agreement under certain circumstances limits the amount of such cash dividends and other distributions to stockholders to the extent that, after giving effect to any payment made to effect such cash dividend or other distribution, the Leverage Ratio would exceed 2.5 to 1 on a pro forma basis as of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement provides for an event of default in the event that, among other things, a person or group acquires 35 % or more of the outstanding capital stock of the Company or obtains power to elect a majority of the Company’s directors or the directors cease to consist of a majority of Continuing Directors, as defined in the Credit Agreement. None of these covenants are presently considered by management to be materially restrictive to the Company’s operations, capital resources or liquidity. The Company is currently in compliance with all of the debt covenants under the Credit Agreement.
The interest rates on borrowings under the revolving credit facility are typically tied to short-term interest rates that adjust monthly and, as such, carrying value approximates fair value. Interest rates on borrowings under finance leases approximate the interest rates that would currently be available to the Company under similar terms and, as such, carrying value approximates fair value.
(11)
Commitments and Contingencies
Short-term investments include $ 52,560,000 in current maturities of investments held by the Company’s insurance segment at June 26, 2021. The non-current
portion of the bond portfolio of $ 119,987,000 is included in other assets. The short-term investments, together with $ 20,144,000 of non-current
investments, provide collateral for the $ 65,434,000 of letters of credit issued to guarantee payment of insurance claims. As of June 26, 2021, Landstar also had $ 33,579,000 of additional letters of credit outstanding under the Company’s Credit Agreement.
The Company is involved in certain claims and pending litigation arising from the normal conduct of business. Many of these claims are covered in whole or in part by insurance. Based on knowledge of the facts and, in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, management believes that adequate provisions have been made for probable losses with respect to the resolution of all such claims and pending litigation and that the ultimate outcome, after provisions therefor, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company, but could have a material effect on the results of operations in a given quarter or year.
(12)
Change in Accounting Estimate for Self-Insured Claims
Landstar provides for the estimated costs of self-insured claims primarily on an actuarial basis. The amount recorded for the estimated liability for claims incurred is based upon the facts and circumstances known on the applicable balance sheet date. The ultimate resolution of these claims may be for an amount greater or less than the amount estimated by management. The Company continually revises its existing claim estimates as new or revised information becomes available on the status of each claim. Historically, the Company has experienced both favorable and unfavorable development of prior years’ claims estimates.
The following table summarizes the adverse effect of the increase in the cost of insurance claims resulting from unfavorable development of prior year self-insured claims estimates on operating income, net income and earnings per share set forth in the consolidated statements of income for the twenty-six-week

Impairment of Intangible and Other Assets
During the 2020 second fiscal quarter, the Company recorded a non-cash
impairment charge of $ 2,582 ,000 in respect of certain assets, primarily customer contract and related customer relationship intangible assets, acquired on September 20, 2017, along with substantially all of the other assets of the asset-light transportation logistics business of Fletes Avella, S.A. de C.V. (“Fletes Avella”). As previously disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the 2020 first quarter, negative macroeconomic trends in Mexico during the first half of 2020, including issues in the international oil and gas sector, caused significant disruptions in the Mexican economy. Accordingly, management performed impairment tests of the carrying values of certain assets that primarily related to intra-Mexico business acquired as a part of the Fletes Avella acquisition. The impairment tests resulted in an impairment charge
of $ 2,582 ,000, as the negative macroeconomic trends in Mexico caused financial projections as of the end of the 2020 second quarter relating to these intangible assets to be substantially below those originally anticipated at the acquisition date. There was
no corresponding goodwill impairment charge recorded as the fair value of the Company’s Mexico and cross-border reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value as of June 27, 2020. The fair value of the Company’s Mexico and cross-border reporting unit continues to significantly exceed its carrying value as of June 26, 2021.
