(unaudited)

(A) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) and all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”), and variable interest entities (VIEs) required to be consolidated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. These financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year.

(B) ACCOUNTING CHANGES

In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance which amends the criteria for allocating a contract’s consideration to individual services or products in multiple-deliverable arrangements. The guidance requires that the best estimate of selling price be used when vendor specific objective or third-party evidence for deliverables cannot be determined. This guidance is effective for us for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after December 31, 2010. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(C) ACQUISITIONS

Hill Hire plc — On June 8, 2011, we acquired all of the common stock of Hill Hire plc (Hill Hire), a U.K. based full service leasing, rental and maintenance company for a purchase price of $251.5 million, net of cash acquired, all of which has been paid as of September 30, 2011. The acquisition included Hill Hire’s fleet of approximately 8,000 full service lease and 5,700 rental vehicles, and approximately 400 contractual customers. The acquired fleet included 9,700 trailers. The combined network operates under the Ryder name, complementing our Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment market coverage in the U.K. Transaction costs related to the Hill Hire acquisition, all of which were included in “Operating Expense” in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings, were $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The preliminary purchase price allocations and resulting impact on the September 30, 2011 Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet relating to the Hill Hire acquisition was as follows:

Total Logistic Control — On December 31, 2010, we acquired all of the common stock of Total Logistic Control (TLC), a leading provider of comprehensive supply chain solutions to food, beverage, and consumer packaged goods manufacturers in the U.S. TLC provides customers a broad suite of end-to-end services, including distribution management, contract packaging services and solutions engineering. This acquisition enhances our Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) capabilities and growth prospects in the areas of packaging and warehousing, including temperature-controlled facilities. The purchase price was $207.1 million, of which $3.4 million was paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. No further payments are due related to this acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the purchase price was reduced by $1.5 million due to contractual adjustments in acquired deferred taxes and working capital. As of September 30, 2011, goodwill and customer relationship intangibles related to the TLC acquisition were $133.3 million and $35.0 million, respectively.

Pro Forma Information — The operating results of Hill Hire and TLC have been included in the consolidated condensed financial statements from the date of acquisition. The following table provides the unaudited pro forma revenues, net earnings and earnings per common share as if the results of the Hill Hire acquisition had been included in operations commencing January 1, 2010, and the TLC acquisition had been included in operations commencing January 1, 2009. This pro forma information is not necessarily indicative either of the combined results of operations that actually would have been realized had the acquisition been consummated during the periods for which the pro forma information is presented, or of future results.

During 2011 we completed several additional acquisitions as discussed below. Pro forma information for these acquisitions is not disclosed because the effect of these acquisitions is not significant.

B.I.T. Leasing Inc. — On April 1, 2011, we acquired the assets of B.I.T. Leasing, Inc. (BIT), a full service truck leasing and fleet services company located in Hayward, California, for a purchase price of $13.8 million. Approximately $13.2 million of the purchase price has been paid as of September 30, 2011. This agreement complements a 2010 acquisition whereby we acquired a portion of BIT’s fleet of full service lease and rental vehicles and contractual customers. The combination of both acquisitions included BIT’s fleet of approximately 490 full service lease and rental vehicles, 70 contract maintenance vehicles and 130 contractual customers. As of September 30, 2011, goodwill and customer relationship intangibles related to the BIT acquisition were $1.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The combined network operates under the Ryder name, complementing our FMS business segment market coverage in California.

The Scully Companies — On January 28, 2011, we acquired the common stock of The Scully Companies, Inc.’s (Scully) FMS business and the assets of Scully’s Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) business. The acquisition included Scully’s fleet of approximately 1,800 full service lease and 300 rental vehicles, and approximately 200 contractual customers. The purchase price was $91.0 million, of which $84.6 million has been paid as of September 30, 2011. During 2011, the purchase price was decreased by $0.2 million due to the settlement of working capital related items. The purchase price included $14.4 million in contingent consideration to be paid to the seller provided acquired customers are retained for a specified period. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, $13.4 million of this contingent consideration was paid and the remaining amount is expected to be paid by the end of the year. As of September 30, 2011, the fair value of the contingent consideration has been reflected within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. See Note (N), “Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information. As of September 30, 2011, goodwill and customer relationship intangibles related to the Scully acquisition were $27.5 million and $11.1 million, respectively. The combined network operates under the Ryder name, complementing our FMS and DCC business segments market coverage in the Western United States.

Carmenita Leasing, Inc. — On January 10, 2011, we acquired the assets of Carmenita Leasing, Inc. (Carmenita), a full service leasing and rental business located in Santa Fe Springs, California, for a purchase price of $9.0 million. The acquisition included Carmenita’s fleet of approximately 190 full service lease and rental vehicles, and 60 contractual customers. Approximately $8.8 million of the purchase price has been paid as of September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, goodwill and customer relationship intangibles related to the Carmenita acquisition were $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The combined network operates under the Ryder name, complementing our FMS business segment market coverage in California.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, all acquisitions had combined revenue and net earnings of $143.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the acquisitions had combined revenue and net earnings of $338.8 million and $18.9 million, respectively.

The initial recording of revenue earning equipment in each of the 2011 acquisitions was based on preliminary valuation assessments. As new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, the valuation of revenue earning equipment may change. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we paid $0.7 million and $6.8 million, respectively, related to other acquisitions completed in prior years.

(E) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Share-based incentive awards are provided to employees under the terms of various share-based compensation plans (collectively, the “Plans”). The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards under the Plans principally include at-the-money stock options, nonvested stock and cash awards. Share-based compensation expense is generally recorded in “Salaries and employee-related costs” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

The following table provides information on share-based compensation expense and income tax benefits recognized during the periods:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 710,000 and 900,000 stock options, respectively, were granted under the Plans. These awards generally vest evenly over a three year period from the date of grant and have contractual terms of seven years. The fair value of each option award at the date of grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model. The weighted-average fair value per option granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $12.88 and $8.93, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 140,000 and 190,000 market-based restricted stock rights, respectively, were granted under the Plans. Employees only receive the grant of stock if Ryder’s cumulative average total shareholder return (TSR) at least meets the S&P 500 cumulative average TSR over an applicable three-year period. The fair value of the market-based restricted stock rights was estimated using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation. The fair value of the market-based awards was determined and fixed on the grant date and considers the likelihood of Ryder achieving the market-based condition. The weighted-average fair value per market-based restricted stock right granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $25.37 and $15.50, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 200,000 and 70,000 time-vested restricted stock rights and restricted stock units (RSU), respectively, were granted under the plans. The time-vested restricted stock rights entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the awards vest over a three-year period. The fair value of the time-vested awards is determined and fixed on the date of grant based on Ryder’s stock price on the date of grant. The weighted-average fair value per time-vested restricted stock right and RSU granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $52.78 and $39.47, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, employees who received market-based restricted stock rights also received market-based cash awards. The awards have the same vesting provisions as the market-based restricted stock rights except that Ryder’s TSR must at least meet the TSR of the 33rd percentile of the S&P 500. The cash awards are accounted for as liability awards under the share-based compensation accounting guidance as the awards are based upon the performance of our common stock and are settled in cash. As a result, the liability is adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the cash awards was estimated using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation.

The following table is a summary of compensation expense recognized for cash awards in addition to the share-based compensation expense reported in the previous table:

Total unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to all share-based compensation arrangements at September 30, 2011 was $32.2 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

(F) EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Our nonvested stock are considered participating securities since the share-based awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividend equivalents irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations:
