Company Continues to Assess Impact of Cyberattack
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPD) today announced fourth quarter 2021 financial results, including the following highlights compared to the same quarter of 2020:
“While the global supply chain remains stretched beyond recognizable limits, we continue to do all we can to secure carrier space for our customers and move their freight through and around the many bottlenecks in the air, over the ocean, and on land,” said Jeffrey S. Musser, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Roughly two years of pandemic-induced disruption have led to unprecedented conditions throughout our industry, with little relief in sight. There is still too little international air capacity, as travellers have been kept from flying abroad; the ocean ports are too congested to accommodate many of the ships that need to load and unload their containers; and worker shortages are severely limiting overland capacity to support the freight that is able to arrive in port.
“We have worked our strong carrier relationships to secure as much capacity as we could get on behalf of all of the shippers looking for space during the quarter, but the severe imbalance between capacity and demand continues to heavily impact our industry. There is simply not enough carrier capacity in the air or on the oceans to accommodate the heavy demand for cargo space, particularly from China to the U.S., where historically high average buy and sell rates have been the most elevated.
“Despite the lack of space, we experienced record-high air tonnage in the fourth quarter, as we used more air charters than at any other time in our company’s history, even with extremely elevated rates. Ocean container volumes, by contrast, declined during the quarter, as we were somewhat limited in our ability to secure necessary capacity from ocean carriers, and hampered by the time and resources required to process shipments and meet sharply growing customer demand.
“Once again, I offer my sincere gratitude to our highly motivated and dedicated employees and thank them for their significant extra efforts all throughout 2021. While many companies are experiencing a decline in headcount during the so-called Great Resignation, we were able to grow our valuable employee base. That serves as testament to the culture at Expeditors: that we are a company where people are proud to work and one where unusually stressful times have inspired our very best execution aimed at outstanding customer service.”
Bradley S. Powell, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, “In addition to our air and ocean products, we also experienced strong financial results in Customs Brokerage, Order Management, Transcon and Distribution. All of these areas saw growing business from both current customers and new ones as well. Our strong operating efficiency is a credit to the strength and resilience of our workforce, as our employees have been successfully able to secure the capacity needed to service our customers in these difficult conditions. While this has helped us produce strong financial results, we caution that should demand and rates return to pre-pandemic levels – whenever that may be – our revenues, expenses, and operating income are likely to decline from the all-time highs that we experienced in 2021.”
COMPANY CONTINUES TO ASSESS IMPACT OF CYBERATTACK
In a separate announcement on February 20, 2022, Expeditors determined that our company was the subject of a targeted cyberattack. Upon discovering the incident, we shut down most of our operating systems globally to manage the safety of our overall global systems environment. The situation is evolving, and we are working with global cybersecurity experts to manage the situation. Further communications will be shared as we manage through this significant event. Depending on the length of the shutdown of our operations, the impact of this cyberattack could have a material adverse impact on our business, revenues, results of operations and reputation.

The Company employs trained professionals in 176 district offices and numerous branch locations located on six continents linked into a seamless worldwide network through an integrated information management system.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the Company made changes to its process and presentation of freight services revenue and directly related transportation operating expenses with the objective that at each reporting level (reporting entity, segment and consolidated level) the gross revenue and associated directly related operating expenses be representative of the location where the services were performed, the operating expenses were incurred and where the revenues were earned. During the second quarter of 2021, management identified and corrected certain immaterial errors in the Company’s historical financial statements primarily related to this process that was utilized through the first quarter of 2021. The process missed an intercompany elimination of revenues and an equal and offsetting amount of directly related transportation expenses, principally impacting airfreight services in North Asia. The errors overstated revenues and directly related transportation operating expenses by equal amounts in the consolidated statements of earnings. The errors had no impact on operating income, net earnings, and earnings per share nor any other financial statement amount. Further, the errors had no impact on the balance sheets, statements of shareholders’ equity, other comprehensive income and cash flows. These errors do not affect any of the metrics used to calculate or evaluate management’s compensation and had no impact on bonuses, commissions, share-based compensation or any other employee remuneration. Historical amounts have been revised and are presented on a comparable basis. |
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we repurchased 4.4 million and 4.6 million shares of common stock at an average price of $117.54 and $72.26 per share, respectively. In addition, during 2021 and 2020, we paid cash dividends of $1.16 and $1.04 per share, respectively.

Disclaimer on Forward-Looking Statements:
Certain statements contained in this news release are “forward-looking statements,” based on management’s views with respect to future events and underlying assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the future stabilization of supply/demand imbalance and rate volatility; the continued unsettled operating environment due to continued scarce air and ocean capacity; elevated air and ocean pricing and an increase in demand for such services; port congestion; equipment imbalances; labor shortages; insufficient warehouse and pier space; trade disruptions; rising fuels costs; and the uneven lifting of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Future financial performance could differ materially because of factors such as: our ability to leverage the strength of our carrier relationships to secure space; the strength of our non-asset-based operating model; our belief that a decline in demand to pre-pandemic levels could lead to a decline in operating results; our ability to re-open our offices for return-to-work; our ability to continue to enhance our productivity; our expectation that the current unprecedented operating conditions will not persist long-term; our ability to invest in our strategic efforts to explore new areas for profitable growth; and our ability to remain a strong, healthy, unified and resilient organization where people want to work. These risks and uncertainties also include but are not limited to our ongoing investigation of the cyberattack, the length of time that our global operations are not fully functional, and the adverse material impact that this cyberattack may have on our business, revenues, results of operations and reputation. The COVID-19 pandemic could have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including, without limitation, those related to the success of our strategy and desire to maintain historical unitary profitability, our ability to attract and retain customers, our ability to manage costs, interruptions to our information technology systems, and the ability of third-party providers to perform and potential litigation. These and other factors are discussed in the Company’s regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release speak only as of this date and the Company does not assume any obligation to update them except as required by law.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the Company made changes to its process and presentation of freight services revenue and directly related transportation operating expenses with the objective that at each reporting level (reporting entity, segment and consolidated level) the gross revenue and associated directly related operating expenses be representative of the location where the services were performed, the operating expenses were incurred and where the revenues were earned. During the second quarter of 2021, management identified and corrected certain immaterial errors in the Company’s historical financial statements primarily related to this process that was utilized through the first quarter of 2021. The process missed an intercompany elimination of revenues and an equal and offsetting amount of directly related transportation expenses, principally impacting airfreight services in North Asia. The errors overstated revenues and directly related transportation operating expenses by equal amounts in the consolidated statements of earnings. The errors had no impact on operating income, net earnings, and earnings per share nor any other financial statement amount. Further, the errors had no impact on the balance sheets, statements of shareholders’ equity, other comprehensive income and cash flows. Historical amounts for business segment information have been revised and are presented on a comparable basis. |
Компания продолжает оценивать последствия кибератаки
СИЭТТЛ – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPD) сегодня объявила финансовые результаты за четвертый квартал 2021 года, включая следующие основные моменты по сравнению с тем же кварталом 2020 года:
«Несмотря на то, что глобальная цепочка поставок по-прежнему растянута до неузнаваемых пределов, мы продолжаем делать все возможное, чтобы обеспечить нашим клиентам пространство для перевозки и перевозить их грузы через и вокруг многочисленных узких мест в воздухе, над океаном и на суше», — говорится в сообщении. Джеффри С. Массер, президент и главный исполнительный директор. «Примерно два года сбоев, вызванных пандемией, привели к беспрецедентным условиям во всей нашей отрасли, и облегчения не предвидится. Международных авиаперевозок по-прежнему слишком мало, поскольку путешественникам не разрешают летать за границу; морские порты слишком перегружены, чтобы вместить большое количество судов, которым необходимо загружать и разгружать свои контейнеры; а нехватка рабочих серьезно ограничивает наземные возможности для поддержки грузов, которые могут прибыть в порт.
«Мы работали над нашими прочными отношениями с перевозчиками, чтобы обеспечить максимальную пропускную способность, которую мы могли бы получить от имени всех грузоотправителей, ищущих места в течение квартала, но серьезный дисбаланс между пропускной способностью и спросом продолжает сильно влиять на нашу отрасль. Просто не хватает перевозчиков в воздухе или на океане, чтобы удовлетворить большой спрос на грузовые помещения, особенно из Китая в США, где исторически высокие средние цены покупки и продажи были самыми высокими.
«Несмотря на нехватку места, в четвертом квартале мы достигли рекордно высокого тоннажа авиаперевозок, поскольку использовали больше чартерных рейсов, чем когда-либо в истории нашей компании, даже с чрезвычайно высокими тарифами. Объемы морских контейнеров, напротив, снизились в течение квартала, поскольку мы были несколько ограничены в нашей способности обеспечить необходимую пропускную способность от морских перевозчиков, а также время и ресурсы, необходимые для обработки отгрузок и удовлетворения резко растущего спроса клиентов.
«Еще раз выражаю искреннюю признательность нашим высокомотивированным и преданным своему делу сотрудникам и благодарю их за их значительные дополнительные усилия на протяжении всего 2021 года. Хотя многие компании испытывают сокращение численности персонала во время так называемой Великой отставки, мы смогли увеличить наша ценная база сотрудников. Это свидетельствует о культуре Expeditors: мы являемся компанией, в которой люди гордятся своей работой, и что необычайно напряженные времена вдохновили нас на самое лучшее исполнение, направленное на выдающееся обслуживание клиентов».
Брэдли С. Пауэлл, старший вице-президент и главный финансовый директор, добавил: «Помимо наших продуктов для воздушных и морских перевозок, мы также добились высоких финансовых результатов в сфере таможенного брокерства, управления заказами, Transcon и распределения. Во всех этих областях наблюдался рост бизнеса как со стороны текущих, так и новых клиентов. Наша высокая операционная эффективность является заслугой силы и стойкости нашей рабочей силы, поскольку наши сотрудники успешно смогли обеспечить мощность, необходимую для обслуживания наших клиентов в этих сложных условиях. Хотя это помогло нам добиться хороших финансовых результатов, мы предупреждаем, что, если спрос и ставки вернутся к допандемическим уровням, когда бы это ни произошло, наши доходы, расходы и операционные доходы, вероятно, снизятся по сравнению с историческими максимумами, которые мы испытали. в 2021 году».
компания продолжает оценивать последствия кибератаки
В отдельном объявлении от 20 февраля 2022 г. компания Expeditors определила, что наша компания подверглась целенаправленной кибератаке. Обнаружив инцидент, мы отключили большинство наших операционных систем по всему миру, чтобы обеспечить безопасность нашей общей глобальной системной среды. Ситуация развивается, и мы работаем с мировыми экспертами по кибербезопасности, чтобы справиться с ситуацией. Дальнейшие сообщения будут переданы по мере того, как мы справимся с этим знаменательным событием. В зависимости от продолжительности приостановки нашей деятельности последствия этой кибератаки могут оказать существенное негативное влияние на наш бизнес, доходы, результаты операций и репутацию.

Отказ от ответственности в отношении прогнозных заявлений:
Некоторые заявления, содержащиеся в данном пресс-релизе, являются «прогнозными заявлениями», основанными на взглядах руководства в отношении будущих событий и лежащих в их основе допущениях, связанных с рисками и неопределенностями. Эти прогнозные заявления включают заявления относительно будущей стабилизации дисбаланса спроса/предложения и волатильности ставок; продолжающаяся неурегулированная операционная среда из-за сохраняющейся нехватки воздушных и океанских мощностей; повышение цен на воздушные и морские перевозки и увеличение спроса на такие услуги; загруженность портов; дисбаланс оборудования; нехватка рабочей силы; недостаточное количество складских помещений и причалов; сбои в торговле; рост цен на топливо; и неравномерное снятие ограничений на пандемию COVID-19. Будущие финансовые показатели могут существенно отличаться из-за таких факторов, как: наша способность использовать сильные стороны наших отношений с операторами для обеспечения безопасности пространства; сила нашей операционной модели, не основанной на активах; наше убеждение в том, что снижение спроса до допандемического уровня может привести к снижению операционных результатов; наша способность вновь открыть наши офисы для возвращения к работе; наша способность продолжать повышать нашу производительность; наше ожидание того, что нынешние беспрецедентные условия работы не будут сохраняться в долгосрочной перспективе; наша способность инвестировать в наши стратегические усилия по изучению новых областей для прибыльного роста; и наша способность оставаться сильной, здоровой, единой и устойчивой организацией, в которой люди хотят работать. Эти риски и неопределенности также включают, но не ограничиваются нашим текущим расследованием кибератаки, периодом времени, в течение которого наши глобальные операции не полностью функционируют, и неблагоприятным материальным воздействием, которое эта кибератака может оказать на наш бизнес, доходы, результаты операций. и репутация. Пандемия COVID-19 может привести к усилению многих других рисков, описанных в пункте 1A нашего годового отчета по форме 10-K, включая, помимо прочего, риски, связанные с успехом нашей стратегии и желанием сохранить историческую единую прибыльность. , нашу способность привлекать и удерживать клиентов, нашу способность управлять расходами, перебои в работе наших систем информационных технологий, а также способность сторонних поставщиков выполнять и потенциальные судебные разбирательства. Эти и другие факторы обсуждаются в нормативных документах Компании в Комиссию по ценным бумагам и биржам, в том числе в «Пункте 1А. Факторы риска» Годового отчета Компании по форме 10-К за финансовый год, закончившийся 31 декабря 2021 года. Прогнозные заявления, содержащиеся в данном пресс-релизе, действительны только на эту дату, и Компания не берет на себя никаких обязательств по их обновлению. за исключением случаев, предусмотренных законом.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the Company made changes to its process and presentation of freight services revenue and directly related transportation operating expenses with the objective that at each reporting level (reporting entity, segment and consolidated level) the gross revenue and associated directly related operating expenses be representative of the location where the services were performed, the operating expenses were incurred and where the revenues were earned. During the second quarter of 2021, management identified and corrected certain immaterial errors in the Company’s historical financial statements primarily related to this process that was utilized through the first quarter of 2021. The process missed an intercompany elimination of revenues and an equal and offsetting amount of directly related transportation expenses, principally impacting airfreight services in North Asia. The errors overstated revenues and directly related transportation operating expenses by equal amounts in the consolidated statements of earnings. The errors had no impact on operating income, net earnings, and earnings per share nor any other financial statement amount. Further, the errors had no impact on the balance sheets, statements of shareholders’ equity, other comprehensive income and cash flows. Historical amounts for business segment information have been revised and are presented on a comparable basis. |
