Item 5. Other Events
On March 9, 1995, Yellow Corporation (the company) announced that based
on business activity in January and February, it expects to report near
break-even results for the first quarter ended March 31, 1995. Comparatively,
the company had a net loss for the first quarter of 1994 of $6.4 million, or
$.23 per share.
Yellow Freight System, the company's largest subsidiary, is expected to
report an improvement in profitability over the prior year's quarter due to the
benefits of improved weather. However, this gain will be partially offset by
some softening in seasonally adjusted business levels relative to fourth
quarter trends. Yellow Freight also incurred additional costs in the current
quarter related to achieving new highs in on-time service performance.
Preston Trucking Company expects to show significant improvement
year-to-year with break-even operating results for the current quarter compared
to an operating loss of $5.8 million in 1994's first quarter. Improved weather
and benefits from its SuperRegion offering contributed to Preston Trucking's
recovery.
Final first quarter results will be available on April 19, 1995.
