Ryder System, Inc. reported its financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2025, revealing total revenues of $3.171 billion for the quarter, a slight increase from $3.168 billion in the same period last year. For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, total revenue reached $9.490 billion, consistent with the $9.447 billion reported in the prior year. The company’s earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter were $139 million, or $3.33 per diluted share, compared to $143 million, or $3.25 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2024. For the nine-month period, earnings from continuing operations increased to $368 million, or $8.75 per diluted share, from $354 million, or $7.96 per diluted share, in the previous year.
The company experienced a 1% increase in operating revenue, which excludes fuel and subcontracted transportation, amounting to $2.611 billion for the third quarter and $7.778 billion for the nine months. This growth was attributed to higher contractual revenue in the Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) and Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) segments. However, the Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) segment saw a 10% decline in revenue for the quarter, reflecting a reduction in fleet count due to ongoing freight market challenges. The overall earnings before income taxes (EBT) for the third quarter rose to $190 million, a 1% increase from $188 million in the prior year.
Operationally, Ryder's FMS segment reported revenues of $1.465 billion for the third quarter, slightly down from $1.470 billion in 2024, while SCS revenues increased by 5% to $1.380 billion. The DTS segment's revenue fell to $570 million from $633 million. The company noted a decline in used vehicle sales, with net losses from these sales amounting to $3 million in the third quarter, a significant improvement from a loss of $15 million in the same quarter of 2024. The average rental fleet utilization rate was reported at 70% for the quarter, down from 71% in the previous year.
Ryder's balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, showed total assets of $16.548 billion, a decrease from $16.672 billion at the end of 2024. The company’s total liabilities also decreased to $13.454 billion from $13.555 billion. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $189 million from $154 million at the end of 2024. The company’s debt-to-equity ratio stood at 254%, up from 250% at the end of the previous year, reflecting ongoing capital management strategies.
Looking ahead, Ryder anticipates continued challenges in the freight market, which may impact demand for its services. The company remains focused on leveraging its diversified contractual portfolio and strategic initiatives to mitigate these impacts. Ryder expects to benefit from long-term trends in logistics and transportation solutions, despite facing near-term revenue growth headwinds. The company is also evaluating the potential impacts of inflationary pressures, regulatory changes, and labor market conditions on its operations and financial results.
