Heartland General Information
Heartland was founded by Russell Gerdin in 1978 with 4 people in the office and 16 trucks. It became a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ market in 1986, and ended that year posting gross revenues of $21.6 million.
Heartland acquired Munson Transportation in 1993, A&M Express in 1997, and Great Coastal Express in 2002.
In 2006, Heartland opened their first expansion terminal in the western US in Phoenix, AZ. This terminal will be the flagship to Heartland’s western expansion plan long into the future. In 2008, Heartland purchased a terminal in Seagoville, TX (outside of Dallas).
Today, with revenues of $592 million, Heartland Express is in outstanding condition.

Heartland Financial Health
A company's revenues are the total amount of money the company has brought in before expenses. This is a good way to tell if a company is growing or not.
A company's net income is the amount of profit they've made after subtracting expenses from revenues.
A company's profit margin (%) is the percentage of profit as compared with revenues. A profit margin of 3% means the company made a profit of $3 for every $100 in revenues.
Also known as EBIDTA, it's an approximate measure of a company's operating cash flow and is calculated by looking at earnings before the deduction of interest expenses, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
The operating margin is a measure of operating efficiency at a company. It is a percentage calculated by dividing EBITDA (Operating Income) by revenues and then multiplying by 100.
Total debt is simply the total amount of money that the company has borrowed. Naturally the lower the debt the better for any given company.
A company's total assets are everything of value that is owned by a person or company - including things like trucks, real estate, tools, and office equipment.
The debt to asset ratio is a percentage found by diving the total debt by the total assets. This is a critical measure of how much money a company has borrowed compared with the amount of assets they have. The lower the better.
Operating cash flow is the inflows and outflows of cash from the normal sales operations of a business. This is basically a measure of whether or not a company will have cash to operate its business with.
Cash flow from investing activities refers to the amount of cash flow produced from a company's investing activities including investments in the financial markets and capital assets such as trucks and equipment.
Investing cash flow results from external activities such as issuing cash dividends, adding or changing loans, or issuing and selling more stock.
