XPRSA U.S. Xpress Ent Class A (MM)

U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: XPRSA) today announced its expected range of earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, as well as details for the release of its first quarter results and earnings conference call. For the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company expects to report a loss of approximately $0.15 to $0.17 per diluted share compared to net income of $0.05 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2006. Revenues are expected to be approximately $361.0 million, or an increase of 20.5% compared with $299.7 million in the first quarter of 2006. Revenues for the 2006 period did not include the revenues from Arnold and Total prior to the consolidation of such companies effective March 1, 2006. Profitable operating results in both the truckload and Xpress Global Systems operating segments in March were unable to overcome the operating loss of the Company�s truckload segment for January and February, as the quarter was adversely impacted by lower than expected freight demand, severe winter weather in key high-traffic markets that hampered tractor utilization, and rising fuel prices in the second half of the quarter. The Company plans to issue final first quarter results after the market closes on Thursday, April 19, 2007, and will host a conference call to discuss first quarter results on Friday, April 20, 2007, at 11:00 a.m. ET.
