NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(A) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
"Company") and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the
accounting policies described in the 1999 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 and the disclosures herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. Operating results for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be
expected for a full year. Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified
to conform with current year presentation.
(B) EARNINGS PER SHARE INFORMATION
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings
per share reflects the dilutive effect of potential common shares from
securities such as stock options. The dilutive effect of stock options
is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes the
repurchase of common shares by the Company at the average market price
for the period. A reconciliation of the number of shares used in
computing basic and diluted earnings per share follows (in thousands):

ITEM 1. Financial Statements (continued)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(C) SEGMENT INFORMATION
During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company implemented several
restructuring initiatives designed to improve profitability and align
the organizational structure with the strategic direction of the
Company (see note "E"). As part of the restructuring, the Company
changed how it manages and measures the business during the first
quarter of 2000. The principal changes from prior management and
measurement are (1) management of the business along product lines,
without regard to geography and (2) discrete management and
presentation of the Dedicated Contract Carriage business. The business
segment information presented below reflects such changes. Prior year
information has been restated to conform to the current year
presentation.
The Company operates in three business segments: (1) Leasing and
Rental, which provides full service leasing, commercial rental and
programmed maintenance of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers,
principally in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom; (2) Logistics
Solutions, which provides comprehensive supply chain consulting and
lead logistics management solutions that support a client's entire
supply chain, from inbound raw materials through distribution of
finished goods throughout North America, in Latin America, Europe and
Asia; and (3) Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC), which provides
vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution,
principally in North America.
Management evaluates segment financial performance based upon several
factors, of which the primary measure is contribution margin.
Contribution margin represents each business segment's revenue, less
direct costs and direct overheads related to the segment's operations.
Business segment contribution margin for all segments (net of
eliminations), less Central Support Services expenses, is equal to
earnings from continuing operations before income taxes. Central
Support Services consist primarily of corporate overhead and other
expenses not directly attributable to a single business segment, such
as shared management information systems, finance, and sales and
marketing. Central Support Services also includes expenses of certain
new business initiatives, Ryder Capital Services and e-commerce, which
may be reported as business segments in the future once such operations
begin.
The Leasing and Rental segment leases revenue earning equipment, sells
fuel and provides maintenance and other ancillary services to the
Logistics Solutions and DCC segments. Intersegment sales are accounted
for at approximate fair value as if the sales were made to third
parties. Interest expense is allocated only to the Leasing and Rental
business segment. The following table sets forth the revenue and
contribution margin for each of the Company's business segments for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:

Management does not evaluate and the Company does not report total
assets by operating segment. Such records are maintained on a legal
entity basis, which differs from the Company's operating segments. As
such, these amounts are not presented on an operating segment basis.
(D) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income presents a measure of all changes in shareholders'
equity except for changes resulting from transactions with shareholders
in their capacity as shareholders. The Company's total comprehensive
income presently consists of net earnings and currency translation
adjustments associated with foreign operations which use the local
currency as their functional currency. Total comprehensive income for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was $17.5 million and
$15.7 million, respectively.

(E) RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company implemented several
restructuring initiatives designed to improve profitability and align
the organizational structure with the strategic direction of the
Company. The Company also identified certain assets that would be sold
or for which development would be abandoned as a result of the
restructuring. During 1999, the Company also restructured its lease and
rental operations in the United Kingdom in conjunction with the
December 1998 decision to retain the business. As a result of these
initiatives, the Company recorded pretax restructuring and other
charges in 1999 of $52 million.
Activity related to the restructuring reserve account for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 was as follows:

Deductions consist of payments and reversals of restructuring reserves
related to the 1996 restructuring that were in excess of amounts
required. Such reversals consisted of employee severance and benefits
and facilities and related costs of $522,000 and $436,000,
respectively. In the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings for
the three months ended March 31, 2000, such reversals of prior accruals
were offset by expenses for other charges of $942,000 for consulting
fees incurred during the period related to completion of the Company's
profitability improvement study.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ryder System, Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of Ryder
System, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000, and the related consolidated
condensed statements of earnings and cash flows for the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999. 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, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of earnings,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated February 2, 2000, 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, 1999, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition --
Three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
OVERVIEW
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements and notes thereto included under
ITEM 1. In addition, reference should be made to the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
included in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On September 13, 1999, the Company completed the sale of its Public
Transportation Services business to FirstGroup plc for $940 million in cash and
realized a $339 million after-tax gain. The Company used the proceeds from the
sale for working capital needs, repurchase of common stock, and for debt
reduction. The following discussion excludes the results of the Public
Transportation Services business, which has been classified as discontinued
operations.
The Company operates in three business segments: (1) Leasing and Rental, which
provides full service leasing, commercial rental and programmed maintenance of
trucks, tractors and trailers to customers, principally in the U.S., Canada and
the United Kingdom; (2) Logistics Solutions, which provides comprehensive supply
chain consulting and lead logistics management solutions that support a client's
entire supply chains, from inbound raw materials through distribution of
finished goods throughout North America, in Latin America, Europe and Asia and
(3) Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC), which provides vehicles and drivers as
part of a dedicated transportation solution, principally in North America.
Revenue from continuing operations increased 14% to $1.31 billion for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to $1.15 billion in the comparable
period last year. All operating segments experienced revenue gains over the same
period in 1999. Revenue growth was due to higher fuel revenue and revenue growth
in the Leasing and Rental and Logistics Solutions operating segments. The
increase in fuel revenue was driven by higher fuel costs.
11
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition (continued)--
Three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
OVERVIEW (continued)
Operating expense increased $160.4 million, or 19.3%, to $993.4 million in the
first quarter of 2000. The growth in operating expense was primarily
attributable to an increase in the cost of fuel due to higher market prices,
growth in equipment rental expense as a result of sale-leaseback transactions
completed in the fourth quarter of 1999, and an increase in salaries and payroll
due primarily to headcount growth related to growth in the Company's Logistics
Solutions business. Such increases in salaries and payroll were partially offset
by reduced employee benefit costs associated with income recognized from the
Company's pension plan and income from investments related to certain other
benefit plans. Freight under management expense remained relatively flat
compared to the same period in 1999. Depreciation expense in the first quarter
of 2000 was comparable to the first quarter of 1999. However, gains on vehicle
sales decreased from $13.8 million in 1999 to $9.2 million in 2000. The decrease
in gains was due to unit sales proceeds in 2000 remaining relatively flat
compared with the first quarter of 1999, while the average book value of units
sold was greater in 2000 than in 1999. Interest expense decreased $3.7 million
or 8.1% to $42.0 million during the first quarter of 2000. The decrease in
interest expense principally reflects the aforementioned sale-leaseback
transactions, partially offset by increased borrowings to support capital
expenditures.
The Company's effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2000 was 37.0%
compared to 38.3% for the same period in 1999.
Earnings from continuing operations were $19.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, as compared to $10.9 million (which includes the net of
tax impact of $9.1 million for unusual items) for the same period in 1999.
Earnings from discontinued operations of $11.3 million in 1999 represent the
results of operations of the Public Transportation business that was divested in
September, 1999.
Net income for the first quarter of 2000 totaled $19.8 million, or $0.33 per
diluted share, compared with $22.1 million, including discontinued operations,
or $0.31 per diluted share during the first quarter of 1999.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition (continued)--
Three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
Management evaluates segment financial performance based upon several factors,
of which the primary measure is Contribution Margin. Contribution Margin
represents each business segment's revenue, less direct costs and direct
overheads related to the segment's operations. Business segment contribution
margin for all segments (net of eliminations), less Central Support Services
expenses, is equal to consolidated pre-tax earnings. Expenses recorded in
Central Support Services consist primarily of corporate overhead and other
expenses not directly attributable to a single business segment, such as
expenses related to shared management information systems, finance and sales and
marketing. Central Support Services also includes expenses of certain new
business initiatives, Ryder Capital Services and e-commerce, which may be
reported as business segments in the future once such operations begin.
The Leasing and Rental segment leases revenue earning equipment, sells fuel and
provides maintenance and other ancillary services to the Logistics Solutions and
Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) segments. Intersegment sales are accounted for
at approximate fair value as if the sales were made to third parties. Interest
expense is allocated only to the Leasing and Rental business segment.
LEASING AND RENTAL
In the Leasing and Rental business segment, dry revenue (revenue excluding fuel)
in the first quarter of 2000 totaled $694.4 million, an increase of 6.5% from
the first quarter of 1999. Full service lease revenue increased 9.4% as a result
of a significant number of vehicles being placed in service, while rental
revenue was essentially flat compared with the first quarter of 1999. Rental
growth slowed due to the arrival of new full service lease vehicles, which
replaced rental vehicles that had been used by clients awaiting new full service
lease deliveries. Due to the recent increases in fuel prices, fuel revenue was
up 51.1% over the first quarter of 1999.
The contribution margin as a percentage of dry revenue was 11.6% in the first
quarter of 2000 compared with 13.2% in 1999. Contribution margins were impacted
by higher fixed costs on non-revenue-earning equipment and lower gains on the
sale of equipment. At March 31, 2000 there were approximately 11,900 non-revenue
earning units as compared to 10,700 non-revenue units at March 31, 1999.
LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS
In the Logistics Solutions business segment, first quarter 2000 gross revenue
totaled $387.4 million, an increase of 17.2% from the comparable period in 1999.
First quarter 2000 operating revenue was $291.0 million, an increase of 25.1%
from the comparable period a year ago. Revenue growth was principally due to
increased business with existing accounts and revenue from customers in the
electronics and high technology industries that have been added in the last 12
months.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition (continued)--
Three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
The Logistics Solutions business segment contribution margin increased
88.7% in the first quarter of 2000 compared with the first quarter of 1999. The
contribution margin as a percentage of operating revenue was 4.6% in the first
quarter of 2000, compared with 3.1% in the same quarter of 1999. Improvements in
contribution margin were due to improved performance on start-up accounts, as
well as increased efficiency and expansion with existing clients. Additionally,
contribution margin related to certain accounts outside of North America
improved compared to the same period in 1999. First quarter 2000 revenue and
contribution margin were negatively impacted by reduced production volumes at
one significant customer account for which certain revenue is contingent based
upon production volume. Management is currently in discussion with this customer
to renegotiate this contract.
DEDICATED CONTRACT CARRIAGE
In the Dedicated Contract Carriage business segment (formerly reported under
Integrated Logistics), first quarter gross revenue totaled $133.6 million, an
increase of 8.1% from the first quarter of 1999. First quarter operating revenue
was $132.0 million, an increase of 7.8% from the comparable period a year ago.
Contribution margin increased 16.9% in the first quarter of 2000 compared with
the first quarter of 1999. The contribution margin as a percentage of operating
revenue was 11.5%, compared with 10.6% in the first quarter of 1999. The
improvements in revenue were largely influenced by the successful efforts to
minimize lost business in the segment. Contribution margin growth was generally
related to the termination of certain targeted unprofitable contracts.
CENTRAL SUPPORT SERVICES
Central support services are those costs incurred to support all operating
segments, including sales and marketing, human resources, finance, shared
management information systems, customer solutions, health and safety, legal,
and communications. In the first quarter of 2000, central support services
expenses were $67.6 million, compared with $64.2 million in the first quarter of
1999. The increase was due primarily to additional spending on management
information systems, training costs and incremental spending for customer
solutions. Such increases were partially offset by a reduction in interest
expense attributed to central support services.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CASH FLOWS
The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows from continuing
operating, financing and investing activities for the three months ended March
31, (in thousands):
2000 1999
---- ----
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $435,201 164,235
Financing activities (44,695) 128,384
Investing activities (190,112) (386,928)
--------- ---------
Net cash flows from continuing operations $200,394 (94,309)
--------- ---------
A summary of the individual items contributing to the cash flow changes is
included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.
The improvement in cash flow from operating activities in the first quarter of
2000, compared with the same period last year, was attributable to increases in
the aggregate balance of trade receivables sold. The decrease in cash provided
by financing activities in the first quarter of 2000, compared to the same
period last year, is due primarily to repayment of debt using a portion of the
cash received from the sale of trade receivables. The decrease in cash used for
investing activities in the first quarter of 2000 compared with the same period
last year is attributable to increased proceeds from the sale and leaseback of
revenue earning equipment. Such proceeds were used to reduce commercial paper
borrowings on April 3, 2000.
A summary of capital expenditures for continuing operations for the three months
ended March 31 follows (in thousands):

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition (continued)--
Three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
The decrease in capital expenditures for revenue earning equipment was due
principally to improved controls over capital expenditures and a reduction in
the volume of early terminations of full service leases compared to the first
quarter of 1999. Such decrease was partially offset by purchases of revenue
earning equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2000 that had been
postponed from the fourth quarter of 1999. Management expects capital
expenditures for 2000 will be less than 1999 levels. The Company expects to fund
its 2000 capital expenditures with both internally generated funds and
additional financing.
FINANCING
Ryder utilizes external capital to support growth in its asset-based product
lines. The Company has a variety of financing alternatives available to fund its
capital needs. These alternatives include long- and medium-term public and
private debt, as well as variable-rate financing available through bank credit
facilities and commercial paper. The Company also periodically enters into sale
and leaseback agreements of revenue earning equipment, the majority of which are
accounted for as operating leases.
The Company's debt ratings as of March 31, 2000 were as follows:
COMMERCIAL UNSECURED
PAPER NOTES
----- -------
Moody's Investors Service P2 Baa1
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group A2 BBB+
Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. D2 A-
On May 9, 2000 the Company was informed by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group that
it was lowering the Company's debt rating on unsecured notes to "BBB" from
"BBB+".
Debt totaled $2.4 billion at March 31, 2000, or an increase of 2.3% from
December 31, 1999. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company made $11.0
million of scheduled unsecured note payments, $17.1 million of payments in
accordance with sinking fund requirements, and retired $136.5 million of
medium-term notes. U.S. commercial paper outstanding at March 31, 2000 increased
to $452.1 million, compared with $320.0 million at December 31, 1999, primarily
to fund capital expenditures. The Company's foreign debt decreased approximately
$1.3 million from December 31, 1999 to $398.7 million at March 31, 2000. The
Company's percentage of variable-rate financing obligations was 24.3% at March
31, 2000 which is slightly below the Company's targeted level of 25%-30% and
higher than 19.2% at December 31, 1999. The Company's debt-to-equity ratio at
March 31, 2000 increased to 201% from 199% at December 31, 1999. On April 3,
2000 the Company used the proceeds from a sale-leaseback transaction completed
on March 31, 2000 to repay $231.0 million of commercial paper.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition (continued)--
Three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
As of March 31, 2000, $210.6 million was available under the Company's $720.0
million global revolving credit facility, which expires in 2002. Foreign
borrowings of $57.3 million were outstanding under the facility as of March 31,
2000. In September 1998, the Company filed an $800.0 million shelf registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Proceeds from debt issues
under the shelf registration are expected to be used for capital expenditures,
debt refinancing and general corporate purposes. The Company has $487.0 million
of debt securities available for issuance under this shelf registration
statement. The Company also participates in an agreement to sell, with limited
recourse, up to $375 million of trade receivables on a revolving basis through
July 2002. At March 31, 2000, the outstanding balance of receivables sold
pursuant to this agreement increased to $309.0 million from $75.0 million at
December 31, 1999.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" which requires all derivatives to be recognized at fair
value as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. Any gain or loss
resulting from changes in such fair value is required to be recognized in
earnings to the extent the derivatives are not effective as hedges. This
Statement, as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000, and is effective for interim periods in the initial year of adoption.
Adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's results of operations or financial position.
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock
Compensation--an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" (FIN 44). This
Interpretation provides guidance for issues that have arisen in applying APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." FIN 44 applies
prospectively to new stock awards, exchanges of stock awards in a business
combination, modifications to outstanding stock awards, and changes in grantee
status that occur on or after July 1, 2000, except for the provisions related to
repricings of stock awards and the definition of an employee which apply to
stock awards issued after December 15, 1998. The provisions related to
modifications to fixed stock option awards to add a reload feature are effective
for awards modified after January 12, 2000. Management has not yet determined
the impact of FIN 44 on the Company and the results of its operations.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition (continued)--
Three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
Recently, the SEC issued SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition," and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101A. This guidance adds new
Topic 13, "Revenue Recognition," to the SEC Codification of Staff Accounting
Bulletins. SAB 101 impacts a broad range of revenue recognition practices,
including, but not limited to, issues relating to initial fees received in
multi-part arrangements, reporting revenues net versus gross, and consignment
and layaway arrangements. As amended, SAB 101 is required to be adopted by the
Company as of April 1, 2000. Adoption is not anticipated to have a material
impact on results of the Company's operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial
condition contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on
the current plans and expectations of Ryder System, Inc. and involve risks and
uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements.
Important factors that could cause such differences include, among others,
general economic conditions in the United States and worldwide, the highly
competitive environment applicable to the Company's operations (including
competition in logistics solutions from other logistics companies as well as
from air cargo, shipping, railroads and motor carriers and competition in full
service truck leasing and commercial rental from companies providing similar
services as well as from truck and trailer manufacturers who provide leasing,
extended warranty maintenance, rental and other transportation services),
greater than expected expenses associated with the Company's personnel needs or
activities (including increased cost of freight and transportation),
availability of equipment, changes in clients' business environments (or the
loss of a significant client), or changes in government regulations.
The risks included here are not exhaustive. New risk factors emerge from time to
time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or
to assess the impact of such risk factors on the Company's business.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in
interest rates, fuel prices and foreign exchange rates. The Company manages such
exposures in several ways including the use of a variety of derivative financial
instruments when deemed prudent. The Company does not enter into leveraged
financial transactions or use derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes.
