Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they 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. Operating results for the twelve and twenty-four weeks ended June 21, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Roadway Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The Company completed the required goodwill impairment test under SFAS No. 142 for all reporting units effective June 21, 2003 which did not indicate any impairment. The Company expects to perform the required annual goodwill impairment assessment on a recurring basis at the end of the second quarter each year, or more frequently should any indicators of possible impairment be identified.
Note 2Accounting Period
Roadway Corporation (the registrant or Company) operates on 13 four-week accounting periods with 12 weeks in each of the first three quarters and 16 weeks in the fourth quarter.
Note 3Discontinued operations
On December 26, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Arnold Transportation Services (ATS) to a management group led by the units president and a private equity firm, for approximately $55,000,000. The ATS business segment was acquired as part of the Companys purchase of Arnold Industries, Inc. (subsequently renamed Roadway Next Day Corporation) in November 2001, but did not fit the Companys strategic focus of being a LTL carrier. The transaction was completed on January 23, 2003. The Company did not recognize a significant gain or loss as a result of this transaction.
The Company has reported the ATS results as a discontinued operation in the accompanying financial statements and, unless otherwise stated, the notes to the financial statements for all periods presented exclude the amounts related to this discontinued operation.

Note 7Contingent Matter
The Companys former parent is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 1994 and 1995, years prior to the spin-off of the Company. The IRS has proposed substantial adjustments for these tax years for multi-employer pension plan deductions. The IRS is challenging the timing, not the validity of these deductions. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter; however, its former parent intends to vigorously contest these proposed adjustments.
Under a tax sharing agreement entered into by the Company and its former parent at the time of the spin-off, the Company is obligated to reimburse the former parent for any additional taxes and interest that relate to the Companys business prior to the spin-off. The amount and timing of such payments is dependent on the ultimate resolution of the former parents disputes with the IRS and the determination of the nature and extent of the obligations under the tax sharing agreement. On January 16, 2003, the Company made a $14,000,000 payment to its former parent under the tax sharing agreement for taxes and interest related to certain of the proposed adjustments for tax years 1994 and 1995.
We estimate the range of the remaining payments that may be due to the former parent to be $0 to $16,000,000 in additional taxes and $0 to $10,000,000 in related interest, net of tax benefit. The Company has established certain reserves with respect to these proposed adjustments. There can be no assurance, however, that the amount or timing of any liability of the Company to the former parent will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations and financial position.

Note 8Subsequent event
On July 8, 2003, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which Yellow Corporation would acquire Roadway for approximately $966 million, or $48 per share. See the Companys 8-K filed on July 8, 2003 for further information and details.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Consolidated results of operations for the second quarter ended June 21, 2003 compared to the second quarter ended June 21, 2002
Consolidated revenue was $742 million in the current quarter, a 13% increase from second quarter 2002. This increase was primarily due to increased revenue at Roadway Express following the shutdown in September 2002 of Consolidated Freightways, a major competitor. Operating expenses grew by nearly the same amount, and the operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of revenue) improved by 0.1 points to 97.6%, compared to last years 97.7%. The Companys consolidated operating income was $17.4 million compared to $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2002. This increase in operating income is solely attributable to the improved performance of Roadway Express. The net other expense of $6.0 million is primarily composed of interest and amortization of financing costs associated with the acquisition of Roadway Next Day in 2001. The Company had net income of $6.3 million or $0.33 per share (diluted), for the current quarter, compared to a net income of $5.7 million, or $0.30 per share (diluted) in the same quarter last year.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2003 was 42.0%, compared to 41.9% in the second quarter of 2002. This tax rate differs from the Federal statutory rate due to the impact of state taxes, taxes on foreign operations, and non-deductible operating expenses.
Consolidated results of operations for the two quarters ended June 21, 2003 compared to the two quarters ended June 15, 2002
Consolidated revenue was $1,496 million in the first two quarters, a 19% increase from the first two quarters of 2002. This increase was primarily due to increased revenue at Roadway Express following the shutdown in September 2002 of Consolidated Freightways, a major competitor. In addition, Roadways first two quarters this year contained 121 working days compared to 117 working days in last years first two quarters. Operating expenses grew by 17.9%, and the operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of revenue) improved by 1.0 points to 97.5%, compared to last years 98.5%. The Companys consolidated operating income was $37.8 million compared to $18.5 million in 2002. This increase in operating income is solely attributable to the improved performance of Roadway Express. The net other expense of $12.8 million is primarily composed of interest and amortization of financing costs. The Company had net income of $14.3 million or $0.75 per share (diluted), for the first two quarters of 2003, compared to a net income of $3.9 million, or $0.21 per share (diluted) in the prior year.
In January 2003, we sold ATS, the truckload subsidiary of Roadway Next Day Corporation, for $55 million. ATS has been accounted for as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
Contract negotiations with the Teamsters were successfully concluded in early February 2003, well in advance of the March 31, 2003 expiration date. The Teamsters ratified this new five-year contract on March 28, 2003.
The effective tax rate for the first two quarters of 2003 was 42.0%, compared to 43.2% in the first two quarters of 2002. This tax rate differs from the Federal statutory rate due to the impact of state taxes, taxes on foreign operations, and non-deductible operating expenses.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Roadway Express, Inc.
Results of operations for the second quarter ended June 21, 2003 compared to the second quarter ended June 15, 2002
Roadway delivered 1.8 million tons of freight in the current quarter, an increase of 11.2% compared to the prior years second quarter. This improvement is primarily due to the shutdown of Consolidated Freightways, and we expect that positive tonnage comparisons will continue through the third quarter of 2003. Less-than-truckload (LTL) tons were up 11.8% while truckload tons were up 8.4%. Net revenue per ton was $388.18, up 2.5% compared to the same quarter last year, with LTL up 1.9% and truckload up 5.6%. Without the revenue increase relating to the fuel surcharge, freight rates were up 1.2% compared to the second quarter of 2002. During the second quarter, Roadway began to experience a shift in its freight mix, where the company saw some loss of higher-yielding time-critical freight. In addition, an increase in the average shipment size and a decrease in the average length-of-haul both contributed to lower revenue rates. To offset this revenue yield decline, Roadway announced a rate increase of 5.9% effective July 13, 2003. The continued economic sluggishness has lead to increased pricing pressures, especially in the regional markets. A variable rate fuel surcharge averaged 3.1% of revenue in the current quarter compared to 1.8% of revenue in the prior-year quarter. Total operating expenses increased by 13.8%, while revenue increased 14.0%, leading to an improvement in the operating ratio to 98.3%, compared to a 98.5% in the same quarter last year.
Salaries, wages, and benefits as a percentage of revenue decreased to 62.7% in the current quarter, from 64.8% in the second quarter of 2002. Both direct and indirect wages reflected this improvement, which was attributable to efficiencies realized because of the increase in freight volume. Included in the benefit expense was a $3.6 million increase in cost associated with the Company-sponsored pension plan, and a $2.7 million increase in variable pay related to performance. Operating supplies and expenses increased slightly to 18.2% of revenue, up from 17.1% in the prior year quarter, as favorable variances due to the growth in freight volume were more than offset by higher fuel prices and increases in terminal and administrative costs. The growth in purchased transportation as a percent of revenue was primarily due to the 24% increase of linehaul miles run on the railroads. We also saw expense increases related to air service provided. Depreciation expense declined as a percent of revenue because we were able to handle the significant growth in tonnage using existing capacity.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Results of operations for the two quarters ended June 21, 2003 compared to the two quarters ended June 15, 2002
Roadway delivered 3.5 million tons of freight in the first two quarters, an increase of 15.0% compared to the prior year. This improvement is primarily due to the shutdown of Consolidated Freightways, as discussed above. Less-than-truckload (LTL) tons were up 16.2% while truckload tons were up 9.7%. There were four more working days in the first two quarters of 2003 compared to the same period last year. Net revenue per ton was $395.66, up 4.7% compared to the same two quarters last year, with LTL up 3.8% and truckload up 8.0%. Without the revenue increase relating to the fuel surcharge, freight rates were up 2.4% compared to the first two quarters of 2002. The variable rate fuel surcharge averaged 3.6% of revenue in the two quarters ended June 21, compared to 1.3% of revenue in the prior-year period. Total operating expenses increased by 18.8%, while revenue increased 20.4%, leading to an improvement in the operating ratio to 97.9%, compared to a 99.2% in the first two quarters last year.
The changes in operating expenses that are discussed above in the results of operations for the second quarter 2003 also apply to the two quarters ended June 21.

Results of operations for the second quarter ended June 21, 2003 compared to the second quarter ended June 15, 2002
Revenue was $50 million for the second quarter of 2003, up 1.6% from second quarter of 2002, while tonnage was 1.2% lower. The slow economic recovery and the highly competitive Northeast market prevented New Penn from showing year-over-year tonnage improvements. The operating ratio for New Penn was 88.8% in the second quarter of 2003, unchanged from last years second quarter.

Revenue was $99 million for the first two quarters of 2003, up 4.4% from the same period in 2002, while tonnage was up 2.6%. The first two quarters this year had four more working days than the same period in 2002, so tonnage on a daily basis has declined slightly. The unusually harsh winter in the Northeast, combined with the slow economic recovery and the highly competitive market, prevented New Penn from showing year-over-year tonnage improvements on a daily basis. New Penn did not benefit from the shutdown of Consolidated Freightways since Consolidated did not operate in the next-day market. The operating ratio for New Penn was 91.7% in the first two quarters of 2003, a deterioration from last years 90.7%.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and capital resources
At the end of the quarter, cash and marketable securities amounted to $126 million, a $19 million increase from year-end 2002. During the first two quarters, cash provided by operating activities was $18.4 million, as compared to the $5.8 million use of cash in the first quarter of 2002. Two major items in 2002 contributed to the use of cash: $29 million related to the Roadway Next Day acquisition, and $9 million for the purchase of stock to fund employee stock plans. Cash outlays for the acquisition were completed in 2002. Beginning in 2003, existing treasury shares were used to fund certain employee stock plans, so additional share purchases have not been necessary.
Capital expenditures were $22.5 million during the first two quarters, which was in line with last year. Capital expenditures are financed primarily through internally generated funds. Future expenditures are expected to be financed in a similar manner, along with planned replacements through operating lease arrangements. Gross capital expenditures of $95 to $105 million are expected for 2003. The capital expenditures are primarily designated for revenue equipment, facilities, and information systems.
The Companys credit facility consists of a five-year, $215 million senior revolving credit facility with a $165 million sublimit for letters of credit, and a five-year $175 million senior term loan. As of June 21, 2003, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, but availability had been reduced by $128 million as a result of the issuance of letters of credit, primarily related to casualty claims. As of June 21, 2003, $56 million was outstanding under the senior term loan facility, with quarterly installments ranging from $2.5 million in 2003 to $4.9 million in 2006. Management intends to repay the entire balance by year-end 2003. The senior term loan accrued interest at the rate of 2.9% as of June 21, 2003.
On January 23, 2003, the sale of ATS was completed for $55 million. The sale of ATS resulted in a mandatory prepayment of $24 million on the senior term loan.
The Companys $225 million of 81/4% senior notes are due December 1, 2008. Interest is due semi-annually on June 1 and December 1.
The Companys Canadian subsidiary also has a $10 million credit facility available for borrowing under a secured revolving line of credit and bankers acceptances. At June 21, 2003, there were no amounts outstanding on this facility.
At June 21, 2003, the Company had outstanding debt of $281 million, $10.5 million of which is classified as current on the balance sheet. Remaining borrowing capacity of $97 million is currently available under the arrangements described above.
The financing arrangements include covenants that require the Company to comply with certain financial ratios, including leverage and fixed-charge coverage ratios, and maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 21, 2003.
Management believes that cash flows from operations and current financing sources will be sufficient to support working capital needs, projected capital expenditures, dividends to shareholders, and anticipated expenditures for other corporate purposes.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Roadway can finance up to $200 million of its domestic accounts receivable under the accounts receivable securitization arrangement, which has a three-year term expiring November 2004. Under this arrangement, undivided interests in Roadways domestic accounts receivable are sold through a special purpose entity (SPE), a wholly owned subsidiary of Roadway, without recourse, to an unrelated third party financial conduit. At June 21, 2003, undivided interests in the accounts receivable pool aggregating $100 million were sold under this arrangement, leaving an additional $100 million available. This arrangement allowed Roadway Express to immediately use the $100 million to be collected on accounts receivable at an effective rate of 2.6% during the second quarter of 2003.
The arrangement provides that new Roadway accounts receivable are immediately sold through the SPE. Roadway, through its SPE, retains the risk of credit loss on the receivables. The conduit has collection rights to recover payments from the designated accounts receivable and Roadway retains collection and administrative responsibilities for all accounts receivable.
Other matters
Under the terms of the Companys current contract with the Teamsters, which extends through March 31, 2008, wage increases approximating 1.7% of wages and benefits were effective April 1, 2003 with another increase of approximately 2.0%, which will be effective August 1, 2003, designated for benefits.
Reserves for casualty claims represent managements estimates of claims for property damage and public liability and workers compensation. The Company manages casualty claims with assistance of a third party administrator (TPA) along with oversight by a major risk management provider. The Company is self-insured for these claims with retention generally limited to $3 million. The Company and its TPA closely monitor the liability balances by using actual adjuster evaluations of each claim and a statistical benchmarking database for analysis of reserve accuracy.
The Company receives notices from the Environmental Protection Agency from time to time identifying it as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act for various Superfund sites. The Company believes that its obligation with regard to these sites is not significant.
On July 8, 2003, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which Yellow Corporation would acquire Roadway for approximately $966 million, or $48 per share. See the Companys 8-K filed on July 8, 2003 for further information and details.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Roadway has interest rate swap agreements with major commercial banks that fix the interest rate payable on its trailer leases, which are otherwise variable, and principally based on LIBOR. The value of the leases upon which the payments are based was not changed due to these agreements. The agreements, which expire from 2003 to 2004, fix Roadways interest costs at rates varying from 5.62% to 5.89% on leases with a notional amount of $10.0 million, and prevent the Companys earnings from being directly affected by changes in interest rates related to the trailer leases. The fair value of Roadways interest rate swaps at June 21, 2003 is a liability of approximately $200,000, net of income taxes, and has been determined using proprietary financial models developed by the lending institutions that are counterparties to the swap arrangements.
The Company may incur economic losses due to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily with fluctuations in the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso. A 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates would have no material impact on future cash flows and earnings of the Company.
The effect on the Company of fuel price increases is mitigated by a variable rate fuel surcharge when the national average diesel fuel price exceeds $1.10 per gallon. This surcharge has been in place at varying rates since the third quarter of 1999, and was discussed above.
17
Item 4. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of Roadways management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 21, 2003. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective. No significant changes were made in Roadways internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Changes in securities and use of proceeds
The Company maintains a Union Stock Plan. Participation in the Union Stock Plan is involuntary, and the plan is noncontributory. Shares of Common Stock are awarded to participants in the Union Stock Plan as a bonus based on operating margin, accident and injury record, and attendance. During the first two quarters of 2003, the Company issued a total of 19,993 shares of Common Stock to participants under the plan. The Company has concluded that the award of a Common Stock bonus under the Union Stock Plan does not involve a sale of a security and thus is not subject to registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On January 15, 2003, the Company granted 3,124 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to the members of the Roadway Express, Inc. Medical Board. These transactions were exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) of such Act.
