STI Announcement

STI Chooses I.D. Systems for Onboard Trailer Technology

Specialized Transportation Inc., STI, has recently selected I.D. Systems’ VeriWise technology for its onboard asset telematics. STI receives enhanced remote monitoring and diagnostics on trailer assets such as GPS positioning and utilization status allowing for real-time visibility to all of its trailers equipped with the VeriWise system.

VeriWise technology provides STI critical operations data such as when a trailer is moving, idle, tethered or untethered, its real-time location, location history and telematic system diagnostics. This information provides the basis for reporting, monitoring and optimizing trailer utilization. This enhanced visibility to its trailer fleet allows STI to reduce the need for short-term trailer rentals by identifying under-utilized or idle equipment. The utilization of the VeriWise technology has enabled STI to better utilize its assets hence serve their customer’s at a much greater level.

“The sophistication of the onboard technology is a great improvement for us,” stated Dave Malinowski, STI’s Asset Manager, adding: “we have improved the visibility of our assets which will enable us to make better business decisions. We can also provide up to the minute status by utilizing a virtual web based interface. This visibility is valuable and will provide many benefits to our customers and our organization.”

The VeriWise user interface is very flexible and allows STI to assign an unlimited number of unit-specific identifiers to each individual trailer. This capability enables STI to create detailed reporting and evaluate trailer utilization by region, fleet group, trailer specification, make, model or any other key indicator.

But logistics also plays an important role in motorsports.

"In the world of business as well as racing, the stakes are high. NASCAR teams depend on UPS to ensure they get their critical engine parts and other important equipment before the green flag and that requires flawless logistics," said Ron Rogowski, UPS vice president, sponsorships & events. "UPS keeps not only the wheels of global commerce in motion; UPS keeps the wheels of NASCAR in motion, too."

Aspen Logistics Announcement

Aspen Logistics, Inc. Contributes to September 23rd KaBoom Event’s Success

Atlanta, GA. 10.25.2010 – Aspen Logistics, Inc. participated in the KaBoom playground build event that was sponsored by the Home Depot Foundation on September 23rd. The event concluded as a success with the Bill Lucas YMCA Center receiving a new safer playground through the sweat and effort of volunteers. Aspen sent Dan Anderson and Garry Barfuss to this year’s event. Dan said after the event that working on top of the mulch pile was a challenge and exhausting but, rewarding work. The event had a good turn out and in the end everything came together to give the local community children a safe environment in which to play. Aspen learned of the opportunity through its relationship with the Home Depot. The Home Depot asked some of its vendors to participate and Aspen jumped at the opportunity. Aspen has participated in similar events through the Home Depot Foundation and KaBoom in the past three years. The logistics company is looking forward to next year and anticipating its involvement into what it sees as a great and noble charitable effort.

The Home Depot Foundation funded the playground through a grant along with a contribution from Bill Lucas YMCA. The Home Depot Foundation as a founding member of KaBoom provides the organization’s financial support, materials, and volunteers for their projects nationwide.

The Bill Lucas YMCA’s goal for the project was to create an outdoor educational learning environment and a fun, interactive space for children to play. The existing playground was over thirty years old and no longer met the needs of the children at the site. The new playground will enhance the social, emotional, and physical lives of the children at Bill Lucas YMCA by providing them a perfect location to make friends, develop self-confidence, and build fine and gross motor skills.

Today, the Butler Street YMCA operates four local facilities, including the Bill Lucas Southside YMCA. Established in 1977 in the Mechanicsville neighborhood of Atlanta, the Bill Lucas Early Learning Center is a state licensed child development center serving children aged two to twelve. Activities are structured to accommodate both working and non-working parents, offering children a chance to grow and develop in a positive, structured setting. Staff members from all four Butler Street YMCA facilities were excited to participate, as were the parents whose children attend programs at the Bill Lucas location. With the great work done by the Bill Lucas YMCA, a rich history including Martin Luther King, Jr. attending the Butler Street YMCA, and Atlanta Brave Bill Lucas being the first African American General Manager in Major League Baseball, this was certainly an extremely rewarding build.

Cleveland Port Announcement

CLEVELAND PORT, VESSEL OWNER ADVANCE EFFORT TO START INTERNATIONAL CONTAINER SERVICE

Canadian vessel, the Dutch Runner, to visit Cleveland Port; Service would make Cleveland a more vital maritime destination and support regional jobs, shipping industry

October 22, 2010 -- Cleveland is moving closer to becoming the U.S. home base and first and only city on the Great Lakes that would have a regular scheduled service shuttling containers to and from Canada. Port of Cleveland officials and the owners of the two feeder vessels are in active dialogue to launch the Cleveland-Montreal service in the spring of 2011 and will be available at 3 p.m. today to discuss the service.

Stan Shumway, Managing Partner of Great Lakes Feeder Lines, will accompany the Dutch Runner as it travels to Cleveland today to meet with port officials about the service, which is expected to have financial and environmental advantages for the greater Cleveland region.

Will Friedman, CEO of the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority, says the service would be significant as the region attempts to attract additional cargo and take advantage of its lakefront maritime facilities.

“This is an exciting economic opportunity for the port, the region and the state,” he said. “Simply put, Cleveland would be the first city on the Great Lakes that will have a pin on the global map when it comes to container service.”

Friedman stressed that the Port does not require capital investments or enlarged facilities to begin moving containerized freight and other non-containerized cargoes. “We have the space, equipment, a capable terminal operator and a productive waterfront workforce in place. We can move containers today.”

Shumway agrees: “Cleveland has always been attractive to us as the largest market on Lake Erie and a center for manufacturing. We are pleased that the new Port administration is receptive and look forward to proving our business model,” he said.

Great Lakes Feeder Service has two versatile vessels that have capacity for container and break-bulk cargo. The service would allow ocean carriers to hand-off trans-Atlantic containers into the Great Lakes, providing a more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative to truck and rail transport.

Horizon Lines Financial Announcement

HORIZON LINES REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

- Revenue Improves; Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income Down Slightly

- Volume Declines on Economic Recovery Slowdown; Rate, Net of Fuel, Up Marginally

- Adjusted Free Cash Flow Remains Solid; Debt Paydown Ahead of Plan

CHARLOTTE, NC, October 22, 2010 – Horizon Lines, Inc. (NYSE: HRZ) today reported financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended September 19, 2010.

On a GAAP basis, third-quarter net income was $7.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared with $8.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009. On an adjusted basis, third-quarter net income totaled $11.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, excluding charges of $3.3 million after tax, or $0.10 per diluted share, for antitrust-related legal expenses, an equipment impairment charge and union severance. This compares with 2009 adjusted net income of $11.4 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, after excluding antitrust-related legal expenses and a vessel impairment charge totaling $3.0 million after tax, or $0.10 per diluted share. Third-quarter revenue increased to $311.0 million from $308.0 million a year ago.

Container volume for the 2010 third quarter totaled 65,726 loads, a 2.8% decline from 67,649 loads for the same period a year ago. Puerto Rico and Hawaii/Guam experienced the largest year-over-year declines. Alaska volume was down just marginally. Container volume for the 2010 nine-month period totaled 190,610 loads, down 1.4% from 193,305 loads a year ago.

Container rates, net of fuel, for the 2010 third quarter, rose slightly to $3,247 from $3,229 for the third quarter a year ago. Container rates, net of fuel, for the 2010 nine-month period were $3,258, marginally below the rate of $3,266 a year ago.

“A summer slowdown in the pace of economic recovery pressured volumes across all of our markets, resulting in a third-quarter financial performance that was short of our expectations,” said Chuck Raymond, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We had anticipated a firmer overall economic recovery in the third quarter. However, after some initial inventory rebuilding this past spring, economic activity slowed in our tradelanes as consumer spending remained muted in the face of continuing high unemployment. The quarter also was impacted by high fuel prices and lower revenue from transportation services agreements. In addition, vessel operating expenses increased from a year ago due to the timing of regulatory dry-dockings.

“In the face of this challenging operating environment, our financial results demonstrate modest revenue growth and diligent cost management,” Mr. Raymond said. “We continued to generate solid adjusted free cash flow, debt paydown remained ahead of plan, and we finished the quarter with improved liquidity. As was the case in the second quarter, our third-quarter was characterized by improved EBITDA contributions from our Alaska market, terminal services to third parties and logistics businesses, combined with ongoing overhead cost savings.

“Volume declines were greatest in Puerto Rico, which remains in recession, and in Hawaii/Guam, which continues to experience a very slow and uneven economic recovery,” Mr. Raymond continued. “The volume declines in Puerto Rico were exacerbated by ongoing competitive pricing pressures, due in part to capacity that was added by a competitor to the depressed market in the spring. We are responding appropriately and will continue to do so in the months ahead. Alaska, while down very slightly in volume, contributed to EBITDA growth amid an improving business environment.”

Third-Quarter 2010 Financial Highlights

Operating Revenue – Third-quarter operating revenue increased 1.0% to $311.0 million from $308.0 million a year ago. The largest factor in the $3.0 million revenue gain was a $6.9 million gain in logistics revenue, followed by a $4.9 million rise in fuel surcharges to help partially mitigate higher fuel costs. Terminal services contributed $2.3 million of the revenue increase, while rate/mix improvement added $1.7 million. These gains were partially offset by a $6.2 million revenue decline resulting from lower container volume, and a $6.6 million decrease related to the expiration of a vessel management contract with the federal government.

Operating Income – GAAP operating income for the third quarter decreased to $18.1 million from $19.0 million a year ago. The 2010 GAAP operating income includes expenses of $3.4 million, consisting of $1.5 million in antitrust-related legal expenses, $1.8 million for an equipment impairment charge, and $0.1 million for a union severance charge. The 2009 GAAP operating income includes $2.0 million of antitrust-related legal expenses and $1.2 million for a vessel impairment charge. Excluding these items, the third-quarter 2010 adjusted operating income totaled $21.5 million, compared with $22.1 million for the prior year’s third quarter. The decline in 2010 third-quarter adjusted operating income from the prior year was primarily due to reduced volume, lower fuel recovery, decreased space charter income, and higher vessel operating expense as a result of an increase in dry-dockings. These negative factors were partially offset by a decrease in overhead expenses and terminal services savings.

EBITDA – EBITDA totaled $33.4 million for the 2010 third quarter, compared with $33.8 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2010 was $36.8 million, compared with $36.9 million for 2009. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the 2010 and 2009 third quarters were impacted by the same factors affecting operating income.

Shares Outstanding – The company had a weighted daily average of 31.2 million diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2010, compared with 30.9 million outstanding for the third quarter of 2009.

Nine-Month Results – For the nine months ended September 19, 2010, operating revenue increased 5.1% to $902.7 million from $858.8 million for the same period in 2009. EBITDA totaled $72.9 million compared with $51.2 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the 2010 nine-month period totaled $78.6 million, after excluding $3.5 million in antitrust-related legal expenses, a $1.8 million equipment impairment charge, and $0.5 million for union severance. Adjusted EBITDA for the 2009 nine-month period totaled $84.6 million, after excluding $20.0 million for the Puerto Rico class-action settlement, $10.4 million in antitrust-related legal expenses, and $3.0 million for impairment, restructuring and other charges. The 2010 nine-month net loss totaled $1.8 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with a net loss of $32.6 million, or $1.07 per share for the same period a year earlier. Adjusted net income for the 2010 nine-month period totaled $3.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with $10.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, a year ago.

Liquidity, Credit Facility Compliance & Debt Structure – As of September 19, 2010, the company had total liquidity of $85.8 million, consisting of $4.4 million in cash and $81.4 million of effective revolver availability. The company’s trailing 12-month interest coverage and senior secured leverage ratios were 3.81 times and 1.98 times, respectively, in compliance with the credit agreement requirement of above 3.5 times and below 2.75 times, respectively. Funded debt outstanding totaled $540.7 million, a reduction of $22.4 million from the second quarter and $39.8 million from the year-ago third quarter. The funded debt outstanding at September 19, 2010, consisted of $210.7 million in senior secured debt and $330.0 million in convertible notes, at a weighted average interest rate of 4.48%. The company’s senior secured debt matures in August 2012, but the maturity will accelerate to February 2012 if the convertible notes are not refinanced or if arrangements are not being made for their refinancing by that date.

Please see attached schedules for the reconciliation of third-quarter 2010 and 2009 reported GAAP results and Non-GAAP adjusted results.

Outlook

“In light of the third-quarter slowdown, we are more guarded about our outlook for the remainder of 2010,” Mr. Raymond said. “While volume trends have firmed modestly so far in October, we expect pricing pressures to continue in Puerto Rico and fuel costs to increase across all of our tradelanes through year end. As we move forward, volume improvement remains dependent on the strength of the economic recovery in our markets and its impact on consumer sentiment.

“We currently expect full-year adjusted EBITDA results to be below those of 2009, but above the levels required by our debt covenants,” Mr. Raymond continued. “We also are actively engaged in planning to refinance our debt, and currently expect the refinancing to be completed in the first or second quarter of 2011, depending on market conditions and other factors.

“We remain optimistic about prospects for our new trans-Pacific Five Star Express liner service between China and the U.S. West Coast, which launches on December 13th,” Mr. Raymond noted. “We also are starting to see improved volume in Guam, where major infrastructure construction projects are finally underway in preparation for the eventual transfer of U.S. military forces from Okinawa to Guam. This bodes well for 2011 and beyond.”

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Horizon Lines reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The company also believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e., EBITDA, free cash flow and results excluding certain costs and expenses, provides useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period-over-period operating performance without the impact of significant special items. The company further feels these non-GAAP measures enhance the user’s overall understanding of the company’s current financial performance relative to past performance and provide a better baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled in the financial tables accompanying this news release. The company cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the company’s reported GAAP results.

Atlanta, October 21, 2010

Strong Growth Across all Segments; UPS Raises Annual Guidance

UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.93 for the third quarter of 2010, a 69% improvement over the prior-year period. Global revenue grew 9.3%, generating $1.5 billion in adjusted operating profit, a 62% increase.

On a reported basis, diluted earnings per share were $0.99, an 80% increase over the $0.55 in the same period last year. During the quarter, UPS recorded an after-tax benefit of $61 million on the sale of real estate.

"UPS once again exceeded expectations due to superior execution across all business units and our ability to provide solutions that create value for our customers," said Scott Davis, UPS chairman and CEO. "We continue to deliver significant earnings growth and margin expansion in the current economic environment. This is a true testament to what can be accomplished when you have excellent people, superior service and an unmatched global portfolio."

Based on the company's performance, UPS has increased its guidance for 2010 adjusted diluted earnings to a range of $3.48 to $3.54 per share, a 51%-to-53% increase over last year.

Adjusted operating profit increased 77% to $911 million on revenue growth of 6%. The margin expansion of 500 basis points was driven by volume growth, improved yields and the benefits of more streamlined operations. Reported operating profit was $1.02 billion, a 98% increase.

Average daily package volume expanded 3.6% during the quarter due to growth in Ground and Next Day Air. Revenue per piece improved 4%, primarily through increases in base pricing and higher fuel surcharges.

Outlook

"UPS generated superior performance across all segments," said Kurt Kuehn, UPS's chief financial officer. "This is a direct result of the successful execution of our long-range strategy.

"I am confident in UPS's ability to generate strong cash flow and continued earnings growth while investing in growth opportunities around the world," Kuehn added. "Based on the projections of retailers and economists, we expect modest growth during the holiday peak season. We are raising our full-year 2010 guidance with adjusted earnings per share expected to grow more than 50% over last year. "

NOTE:

UPS Chairman and CEO Scott Davis and CFO Kurt Kuehn will discuss third quarter results with investors and analysts during a conference call at 8:30 a.m. EDT today. That call is open to listeners through a live Webcast. To access the call, go to www.investors.ups.com and click on "Earnings Webcast."

UPS routinely posts investor announcements on its web site - www.investors.ups.com - and encourages those interested in the company to check there frequently.

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, as applicable, "as adjusted" operating profit, operating margin, pre-tax income, net income and earnings per share. The equivalent measures determined in accordance with GAAP are also referred to as "reported" or "unadjusted". We believe that these adjusted measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and analysts in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. We believe these adjusted financial measures are important indicators of our recurring operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Furthermore, we use these adjusted financial measures to determine awards for our management personnel under our incentive compensation plans.

In the first quarter of 2010, we recorded a $98 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our U.S. Domestic Package operations related to the reorganization of our domestic management structure. We also incurred a $38 million pre-tax loss on the sale of a specialized transportation business in Germany in our Supply Chain & Freight segment. Additionally, we recorded a $76 million charge to income tax expense, resulting from a change in the filing status of a German subsidiary. In the third quarter of 2010, we recorded a $109 million pre-tax gain on the sale of real estate. In the first quarter of 2009, we recorded a $181 million pre-tax impairment charge related to our cDonnell-Douglas DC-8-71 and DC-8-73 aircraft fleets. In the second quarter of 2009, we recorded a $77 million pre-tax charge for the remeasurement of certain obligations denominated in foreign currencies, in which hedge accounting was not able to be applied. We presented third quarter and year-to-date 2010 and 2009 operating profit, operating margin, pre-tax income, net income and earnings per share excluding the impact of these items as we believe these adjusted measures better enable shareowners to focus on period-over-period operating performance. The underlying matters that produced these charges and gain were unique, and we do not believe they are reflective of the types of items that will affect future results.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP operating profit, operating margin, net income and earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Except for historical information contained herein, the statements made in this release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of UPS and its management regarding the company's strategic directions, prospects and future results, involve certain risks and uncertainties. Certain factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including economic and other conditions in the markets in which we operate, governmental regulations, our competitive environment, strikes, work stoppages and slowdowns, changes in aviation and motor fuel prices, cyclical and seasonal fluctuations in our operating results, and other risks discussed in the company's Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Deutsche Post DHL Unveils New Study on Green Business Trends

Shanghai/Bonn, October 13, 2010: The pursuit of sustainability will transform the logistics industry, both in terms of its business model as well as the range of advanced solutions and technologies that will be used by logistics service providers. This is one conclusion drawn by the study “Delivering Tomorrow: Towards Sustainable Logistics”, which Deutsche Post DHL released today as a follow-up to the 2009 Delphi Study on ten top future trends. The new 150-page report concentrates on green logistics and the future of the industry and identifies key developments for the years to come. The study is based on in-depth research and contributions from international experts as well as a representative survey of 3,600 business customers and consumers worldwide.

“We want to take a significant step forward to improving carbon efficiency and do our part to facilitate a low-carbon economy. The study provides valuable insights how our industry can achieve this goal,” said Frank Appel, Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Post DHL, at a press conference in Shanghai today. “Sustainability, especially the reduction of carbon emissions, is already a central aspect of our business and an integral part of our corporate strategy. Customers worldwide increasingly demand greener logistics and are thus the best indicators for us that we are on the right track.” Deutsche Post DHL was the first logistics company worldwide to commit to a carbon efficiency target – 30 percent improvement by the year 2020 compared with 2007.

According to the study, the logistics industry will be key to comprehensive carbon reduction efforts in most sectors due to its unique expertise and positioning along the supply chain. Sixty-three percent of business customers believe that logistics will become a strategic lever for CO2 abatement. In addition to its strategic economic importance, logistics will increasingly be seen as essential to achieving lower carbon emissions across the economy. That´s a chance and a challenge as well for logistics service providers: Companies rated best-in-class in terms of environmental, social and governance practices outperform low-sustainability companies by up to eight percent. Furthermore, logistics will no longer be viewed as a commodity, where offering the cheapest solution rules. As a result, the leading logistics companies of the future will be those that provide sustainable services. The study also shows that significant carbon reductions can already be achieved within the logistics sector without waiting for major technological breakthroughs.

“The logistics industry can achieve significant carbon reduction results today by making distribution networks more efficient, using the right modes of transportation and by managing load capacities and routes more efficiently,” said Appel. “Our aim with the study is to create a more focused debate. The report aims to show how business innovation and green demand can drive a carbon-efficient industry and lead to a low-carbon economy.”

The study also shows that carbon pricing mechanisms will accelerate a market-based dynamic toward more sustainable solutions. Once there is a real price tag attributed to carbon emissions, the environment will be an integral part of investment decisions. Especially customers in Asia are ready to accept that sustainable solutions may cause higher prices, the study shows. For example, 84 percent of consumers in China, India, Malaysia and Singapore say they would accept a higher price for green products – compared to only 50 percent in Western countries. The sense of urgency regarding climate change is strongest in Asia (India, China), where 70 percent of consumers asked rated it as one of the world’s most serious problems. Deutsche Post DHL has seen over the past years that both factors, the acceptance of higher prices and the sense for climate protection, influences its business. For example, the number of CO2 neutral shipments by Deutsche Post DHL almost quintupled from 2008 to 2009 – from 145 million to 704 million.

The study on sustainable logistics was developed with support from a number of authoritative external experts from such institutions as MIT, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, National University of Singapore and the Technische Universität Berlin along with numerous experts from Deutsche Post DHL. Some of the Group´s customers, including Fujitsu, Henkel, HP, Unilever, and Walmart, also contributed to the report.
