SWFT Swift Transportation Company Class A (delisted)

Swift Transportation Company (NYSE:SWFT) today reported revenue of $1.0 billion, diluted EPS of $0.20 and adjusted EPS of $0.25 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q.

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure, which should not be considered as an alternative, or superior, to the GAAP financial measure, diluted EPS. However, management believes that presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the company's results of operations. Adjusted EPS is reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure below.
