Trade Lanes with Pete Westermann, President and CEO of Kane is Able Kane Is Able, Inc. is a third party logistics provider that helps consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies warehouse and distribute goods throughout the U.S. It offers transportation (TL and LTL), distribution, packaging, cross-docking, load consolidation, and inventory management. Kane Is Able was founded in 1930 and is headquartered in Scranton, PA. Bio: Mr. Peter Westermann has been President and CEO of Kane Is Able, Inc. since May 2011. Mr. Westermann joined Kane from third-party logistics (3PL) provider Total Logistic Control, (TLC), where he served as President from 2008 to 2011 and COO from 2006 to 2008. He served as Senior Vice President of Business Development and Client Solutions of UPS for two years, where he was involved in many of the 20-plus acquisitions UPS made during that period. Mr. Westermann has also held senior leadership roles with 3PL providers during most of his career, serving as President and Chief Executive Officer at Universal Solutions, Senior Vice President of Sales and Solutions with UPS Supply Chain Solutions, and President and Chief Executive Officer of Livingston Healthcare. Mr. Westermann holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. _ HW&Co.: Kane is an industry-leading contract logistics ( CL ) player with deep roots in the consumer package goods segment. How important has scale been in winning clients in your vertical? Are you finding scale to be increasingly important across verticals clients desire for a single CL provider who can partner across numerous regions/geographies? Pete Westermann (PW): Over the past few years, the clients have increased their focus on diminishing their provider roster in favor of providers who have a broader national footprint of solutions. There continues to be a delicate balance between value created and scale. Our main focus is adding value through inventive solutions. Scale is becoming more a price of admission in order to have a chance to demonstrate a stronger value proposition. HW&Co.: Coming out of the recession in 2010 and 2011, we saw shippers hold fewer inventories and spend more on shipping as they shifted from ocean and ground to air. CL businesses often bore the brunt of much of the reduced inventory levels. In 2012, we saw a reversal of much of that shift, with airfreight volumes declining substantially. How has modal shift (and re-shift) affected your business? PW: We continue to see significant focus on LTL to TL conversion opportunities through multi stop TL and vendor consolidations. Additional volumes to the northeast are moving intermodal from the Midwest as the asset infrastructure becomes more stable. CPG product coming through the port systems continues at about the same rates as we saw in 2011. Few network re-designs took place in 2012, and thus customer focus was on buying lane based transportation with keen price awareness. HW&Co.: Though many leading public CL businesses revealed softness in the back half of 2012, most expect a strong rebound in 2013. How was the back half of 2012 for Kane? What is your outlook for 2013? 2 of 9
Trade Lanes (continued) PW: We experienced solid demand for services in the Northeastern U.S. despite the impact of Hurricane Sandy. 2013 is setting up well with base customer volumes at or above 2012 levels. Many new projects are being considered as CPG customers deal with new SKU demands and the continuing increase in display packaging. HW&Co.: The rise of ecommerce and fulfillment continues to create significant opportunities for 3PLs, specifically CL businesses that have helped manufacturers and shippers manage inventory and initiate distribution closer to their end markets. What changes are you seeing in the marketplace as a result of ecommerce, and how are you preparing your business to maintain its competitive advantage? PW: The client community in CPG is experimenting with multiple models in order to offer businessto-consumer ( B2C ) solutions. We continue to see the space as very fragmented. There are multiple technology solutions out there, and we have yet to see conformance to any best-of-breed platform. Clearly the cost equation to support B2C remains extreme and for that reason basically erodes most margins. We do believe these normal variables of an immature market will be attractive to inventive providers in the next few years. We are investing both internal development time and monitoring the acquisition market to consider strategic options to offer our clients better solutions over time. HW&Co.: There are a number of strong, privately held CL businesses in the U.S. Do you feel that there is an opportunity for some consolidation within the industry? What would drive a CL business to expand through acquisition - interest in a new geography or vertical, specific client relationships, economies of scale, etc.? PW: We definitely see additional consolidation within our space. Whether for geographic scale leverage, industry vertical expansion and/or service line extension there remain multiple businesses which are at some type of inflection point which can and will be brought together to gain a greater market position over time. HW&Co.: CL businesses have been valued very differently at specific points over the recent past, anywhere from low to mid single digit EBITDA multiples to approaching double-digit multiples. From your advantaged perspective, outside of growth and margins, what makes one CL business relatively more or less valuable than another? PW: We see value differently for the type of opportunity it provides our long term strategy. Businesses which are highly transactional and lack customer stickiness tend to be valued less than those which are higher value plays and have stronger commercial customer contracts. There continues to be a willingness to consider a higher multiple for technology-based businesses which offer a toolset that will help accelerate our information interface with clients. 3 of 9
What We re Reading UPS-TNT deal falls apart at the hand of European regulators The Wall Street Journal reports that UPS has abandoned a $7 billion takeover bid of Dutch parcel delivery company TNT Express after encountering significant opposition by EU antitrust regulators. Regulators cited post-merger concentration issues that would have caused a duopoly between the combined UPS entity and DHL. ecommerce hits $1 trillion in sales in 2012 emarketer reports that business-to-consumer ( B2C ) ecommerce sales increased 21% and is expected to grow another 18% to $1.3 trillion. As ecommerce sales continue to grow, providers are continuing to look for ways to integrate B2C distribution. This will result in increased M&A activity, report analysts at Transportation Intelligence. Reports show congestion costing the trucking industry billions Heavy Duty Trucking reports that the financial cost of congestion continues to increase, with the latest data from 2011 showing that traffic congestion cost the trucking industry $27 billion in wasted time and diesel fuel costs. Rail and Rail Services enter 2013 poised for growth Railway Age reports that rail traffic in North America remains robust despite the significant drop in coal, once the industry s primary source of revenue. Intermodal, oil/non-coal energy, and auto volumes rose significantly in 2012, and executives and investors alike expect similarly strong performance in 2013.
