Item 1. Financial Statements (continued)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(A) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies
described in the 1993 Annual Report and should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes which appear in that
report. These statements do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.
(B) ACQUISITIONS
The Company completed a number of acquisitions during the first nine months
of 1994 including a logistics management company and two providers of full
service truck leasing, one in the U.S. and one in the United Kingdom. All
acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method and were not
material in relation to the Company's total assets. The consolidated
condensed financial statements reflect the results of operations of the
acquired businesses from the acquisition dates. These acquisitions
resulted in goodwill of $26.3 million which is being amortized principally
over 10 years. Had the acquisitions been consummated on January 1, 1993,
revenue and net earnings for the nine-month periods ended September 30,
1994 and 1993 would not have been materially affected.
(C) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 7, 1993, the Company completed the spin off of its aviation
services subsidiaries into a new public company, Aviall, Inc. Under the
terms of the spin off, the Company distributed to common stockholders one
share of Aviall, Inc. common stock for each four Ryder System, Inc. common
shares owned. The distribution had the effect of reducing the Company's
retained earnings by $314 million. Results of the Company's aviation
services subsidiaries in 1993 include a one-time after tax charge of $169.4
million and have been reported as discontinued operations.
Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1993 for the
discontinued aviation services subsidiaries was $288.3 million and $853.6
million, respectively.
(D) ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions." As a result, a pretax charge of $41 million
($25 million after tax) was recorded as the cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle to establish a liability for the present value of
expected future benefits attributed to employees' service rendered prior to
January 1, 1993. The Company also adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective
January 1, 1993.
(E) INCREASE IN THE CORPORATE FEDERAL INCOME TAX RATE
On August 10, 1993, legislation was enacted which increased the corporate
federal income tax rate from 34% to 35%, retroactive to January 1, 1993.
The increased tax expense from the new legislation recorded in the third
quarter of 1993 totaled $9.4 million ($0.12 per common share), with $7.8
million relating to a one-time adjustment to accumulated deferred income
tax balances.

Independent Auditors' Review Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ryder System, Inc.:
We have reviewed the consolidated condensed balance sheet of Ryder System, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1994, the consolidated condensed
statements of earnings for the three- and nine-month periods ended September
30, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for
the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993. These consolidated
condensed financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the consolidated condensed financial statements referred to above
for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Ryder System, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and the related consolidated statements
of earnings and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and
in our report dated February 7, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set
forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December
31, 1993, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
As discussed in the notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements,
Ryder System, Inc. and subsidiaries changed its method of accounting for income
taxes and for postretirement benefits other than pensions in 1993.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition --
Three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's earnings from continuing operations before income taxes were $71
million in the third quarter of 1994, compared with $57 million in last year's
third quarter. Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes in the
first nine months of 1994 were $196 million, compared with $160 million in the
first nine months of 1993. Earnings in both the third quarter and the first
nine months of 1994 benefited primarily from higher revenue, improved margins
in both commercial and consumer truck rental, and higher gains on sales of
vehicles. Higher vehicle shipments and improved operating efficiencies in
Automotive Carriers also contributed to the increase in earnings.
Earnings from continuing operations after taxes in the third quarter of 1994
were $42 million, or $0.53 per common share, compared with $23 million, or
$0.30 per common share, in the third quarter of 1993. The 1993 quarter
included the impact of an increase in the corporate federal income tax rate
from 34% to 35%, retroactive to January 1, 1993, which resulted in additional
tax expense of $9 million, or $0.12 per common share, of which $8 million
related to a one-time adjustment to accumulated deferred income tax balances.
Earnings from continuing operations after taxes in the first nine months of
1994 were $116 million, or $1.47 per common share, compared with $84 million,
or $1.04 per common share, in the first nine months of 1993. The Company's
effective tax rate for continuing operations was 41.1% in the first nine months
of 1994 compared with 47.5% in the same period last year. The change was due
primarily to the impact of the 1993 corporate federal income tax rate increase.
The Company reported a net loss in the first nine months of 1993 of $96
million, or $1.28 per common share, which included a first quarter after tax
charge of $25 million related to a change in accounting for postretirement
benefits, a second quarter after tax charge of $169 million to restructure the
discontinued aviation segment, which was spun off in December 1993, and the
third quarter income tax adjustment.
In the third quarter of 1994 the Company experienced accelerated revenue growth
in each of its major product lines compared with the first half of the year.
Revenue increased 14% and 10% in the third quarter and the first nine months of
1994, respectively, compared with the same periods last year. In Vehicle
Leasing & Services, revenue increased 16% and 12% in the third quarter and
first nine months of 1994, respectively, compared with the same periods last
year while Automotive Carriers revenue increased 6% and 2% in the same periods.
Operating expense increased 14% and 9% in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1994, respectively, compared with the same periods in 1993 due
primarily to higher revenue combined with increased dedicated logistics
operating costs and higher spending on sales and marketing and reengineering
programs.
Depreciation expense (net of gains) in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1994 increased 12% and 10%, respectively, compared with the same
periods in 1993. A larger vehicle fleet as a result of strong lease sales and
rental fleet expansion in selected markets produced most of these increases.
These increases in depreciation expense were partially offset by gains on
vehicle sales, which increased $4 million and $12 million in the third quarter
and first nine months of 1994, respectively, compared with the same periods in
1993. Higher third quarter and nine month gains resulted from increases in the
average gain per vehicle and number of vehicles sold.
Interest expense increased $6 million and $12 million in the third quarter and
first nine months of 1994, respectively, compared with the same periods in
1993. The increases in both 1994 periods were due primarily to higher average
outstanding debt levels in 1994, resulting from the growth in the vehicle
fleet, compared with average outstanding debt relating to continuing operations
in 1993. Higher interest rates on the Company's debt in the third quarter of
1994 also contributed to the increase.
<PAGE> 8
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition (continued) --
Three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
In June 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
116, "Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made." The
statement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1994, requires that promises to make contributions be recognized in the
financial statements as an expense and a liability when a promise is made.
Currently, contributions are recognized as an expense in the period made. The
Company estimates that the adoption of the statement in the first quarter of
1995 will result in an after tax charge to earnings of approximately $6
million, or $0.08 per common share, to record the cumulative effect of the
change in accounting.
VEHICLE LEASING & SERVICES
Revenue increased 16% and 12% in the third quarter and first nine months of
1994, respectively, compared with the same periods in 1993. Revenue from full
service truck leasing, the division's largest product line, increased 11% in
the third quarter and 6% in the first nine months of 1994 compared with the
same periods last year. Revenue benefited from an increase in new lease sales
combined with the impact of two acquisitions made in mid-1994. Revenue from
commercial truck rental increased 24% and 22% in the third quarter and first
nine months of 1994, respectively, compared with the same periods in 1993,
reflecting higher demand in both periods. Revenue from consumer truck rental
increased 18% in the third quarter and 20% in the first nine months of 1994
compared with the same periods last year, primarily as a result of higher
demand for both local and long-distance rentals. To satisfy the higher demand,
the Company increased the fleet size in both rental product lines in the first
nine months of 1994 over 1993 levels. Both rental product lines continue to
benefit from the effects of strong economic conditions within the U.S.
Dedicated logistics revenue increased 26% and 17% in the third quarter and
first nine months of 1994, respectively, compared with the same periods last
year due to higher levels of new business sales made to both existing and new
customers. Revenue from the division's public transportation services
businesses increased 7% in the third quarter and 5% in the first nine months of
1994 compared with the same periods last year, due primarily to several new
student transportation contracts.
Vehicle Leasing & Services earned pretax profits of $68 million in the third
quarter of 1994 compared with $59 million in the third quarter of 1993. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1994, pretax earnings were $179 million
compared with $158 million last year. Margin (revenue less direct operating
expenses, depreciation and interest expense) for full service truck leasing was
higher in the third quarter and slightly higher in the first nine months of
1994 compared with the same periods last year as a result of higher revenue.
However, margin as a percentage of revenue declined in both 1994 periods as a
result of lower prices on new leases compared with prices on those expiring,
combined with higher interest expense. Margin and margin as a percentage of
revenue for commercial and consumer truck rental increased in both the third
quarter and first nine months of 1994 compared with the same periods last year,
reflecting higher fleet utilization and a larger fleet. Consumer truck rental
margin was also affected by lower maintenance costs as a percentage of revenue,
largely as a result of a newer fleet and a change in the fleet mix, somewhat
offset by higher vehicle liability expense. Dedicated logistics margin dollars
increased slightly during the third quarter and first nine months of 1994
compared with the same periods last year while margin as a percentage of
revenue was lower in both 1994 periods. Dedicated logistics margins were
impacted by higher operating costs on existing contracts combined with new
business start-up costs. Third quarter and year-to-date margins for the
division's public transportation services were higher compared with the same
periods in 1993 due to higher revenues.
For the division as a whole, pretax profits in both 1994 periods benefited from
higher overall margin dollars and increased vehicle gains, partially offset by
higher strategic spending on sales and marketing, reengineering, and logistics
and other systems technology. The division has made a significant investment
in these strategic initiatives over the past two years, particularly in its
commercial leasing and logistics businesses. In fact, within dedicated
logistics, strategic spending in these areas more than offset margin growth in
both 1994 periods. These strategic spending initiatives are expected to
continue to have an impact, particularly within dedicated logistics, as the
Company strives to stimulate growth and make its operations more customer
responsive and efficient in the future.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition (continued) --
Three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
AUTOMOTIVE CARRIERS
Revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 1994 increased 6% and 2%,
respectively, compared with last year's third quarter and first nine months.
Higher revenue for both periods in 1994 reflects an increase in the number of
units shipped, somewhat offset by a decline in the average length of haul.
Shipments of General Motors vehicles were higher in the third quarter and about
the same in the first nine months of 1994 compared with the same periods last
year. The number of vehicles shipped for other manufacturers was 17% and 15%
higher in the third quarter and first nine months of 1994, respectively,
compared with last year. The overall increase in vehicles shipped in 1994 was
a result of higher vehicle production in North America.
Automotive Carriers pretax earnings were $10 million in the third quarter of
1994, compared with $5 million in the third quarter of 1993. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1994, pretax earnings were $35 million compared with
$21 million in the first nine months of last year. Pretax earnings benefited
primarily from higher revenue, improved operating efficiencies, a fourth
quarter 1993 organizational streamlining and lower depreciation expense
resulting from an increase in the age of the fleet.
OTHER
Other, which is comprised primarily of corporate administrative costs, reported
net expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 1994 of $6 million
and $18 million, respectively, compared with net expenses of $7 million and $19
million in the same periods last year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total capital expenditures in the first nine months of 1994 were $1.3 billion,
compared with $926 million in the first nine months of 1993. Capital
expenditures for full service truck leasing and commercial truck rental
increased $245 million and $71 million, respectively, in the first nine months
of 1994 compared with the same period last year due primarily to higher new
lease sales and a strategy to expand within certain rental market segments.
Consumer truck rental capital expenditures decreased $18 million in the first
nine months of 1994 compared with last year as a result of the planned timing
of the consumer fleet replacement program in 1993. Capital expenditures in all
other product lines (including expenditures on operating property and
equipment) increased $78 million in the first nine months of 1994 compared with
the first nine months of 1993, reflecting higher expenditures on revenue
earning equipment in the Company's public transportation services businesses
and increased expenditures on facilities and systems technology and
development.
During the first nine months of 1994, the Company made expenditures of
$95 million on strategic acquisitions including substantially all the assets of
LogiCorp, Inc., a logistics management company, Lend Lease Trucks Inc., a
provider of full service truck leasing, contract maintenance, truck rental and
dedicated contract carriage in the U.S., and Unilink Contract Hire Limited, a
provider of full service truck leasing and truck rental in the United Kingdom.
The Company will continue to evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities as a
means of strengthening its core businesses.
<PAGE> 10
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition (continued) --
Three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993
Cash flow from operating activities in the first nine months of 1994 was $546
million, compared with $563 million in the same period last year. The decrease
in cash flow resulted primarily from an increase in several working capital
items, partially offset by improved earnings and an increase in depreciation
expense. The most significant working capital change impacting comparisons was
an increase in receivables primarily as a result of an increase in revenue.
Cash flow from continuing operating activities plus asset sales as a percentage
of capital expenditures was 57% in the first nine months of 1994, compared with
79% in the same period last year. The decrease in the percentage for the first
nine months of 1994 was due to a significant increase in capital expenditures
required primarily as a result of higher new lease sales.
Total debt at September 30, 1994 was $1.8 billion, compared with $1.5 billion
at December 31, 1993. During the first nine months of 1994, the Company issued
$247 million of medium-term unsecured notes and made $118 million of scheduled
unsecured note payments. U.S. commercial paper outstanding at the end of the
third quarter of 1994 was $227 million, compared with $84 million at December
31, 1993. The Company's debt to equity ratio at September 30, 1994, was 167%,
compared with 155% at December 31, 1993. As part of its financing program, the
Company periodically enters into sale and leaseback agreements for revenue
earning equipment that are accounted for as operating leases. Proceeds from
sale-leaseback transactions were $300 million during the first nine months of
1994. The Company did not enter into any sale-leaseback transactions during
1993. The Company had interest rate swap agreements outstanding at September

agreements with aggregate notional amounts totaling $350 million were
outstanding. These instruments have been assigned to specific financial
obligations and amounts to be paid or received under the agreements are
recognized over the terms of the agreements as adjustments to earnings. The
Company enters into these agreements to manage its third party interest rate
exposure. None of the Company's derivative financial instruments are leveraged
or held for trading purposes.
The Company had contractual lines of credit totaling $693 million at September
30, 1994, of which $427 million was available. Also, at September 30, 1994,

Exhibit 11
Statement re Computation of Per Share Earnings
Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings
available to common shares by the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
For purposes of computing primary earnings per share, common
equivalent shares include the average number of common shares issuable
upon the exercise of all employee stock options and awards and
outstanding employee stock subscriptions, if dilutive, less the common
shares which could have been purchased at the average market price
during the period, with the assumed proceeds, including "windfall" tax
benefits, from the exercise of the options, awards and subscriptions.
Fully-diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing the
earnings available to common shares by the weighted average number of
common shares, common equivalent shares and common shares assumed
converted from potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the
period. For purposes of computing fully-diluted earnings per share,
common equivalent shares are computed on a basis comparable to that
for primary earnings per share, except that common shares are assumed
to be purchased at the market price at the end of the period, if
dilutive.
