"Increased operating leverage and improved sales force productivity reflect the traction our sales organization is gaining in the marketplace as we continue to execute on our strategy to become the premier multimodal transportation service provider to the small and middle market shipper," said Dave Menzel, Chief Financial Officer of Echo. "We expect that our investments in our business will continue to drive gains in both revenue and operating leverage."
Business Outlook
"Through the first few weeks of July 2013, our revenue was up approximately 24% over the same period in the prior year," stated Waggoner. "Based on the current economic environment and the improvements we are seeing in productivity, we believe we will see continued growth and improved operating leverage in the second half of the year, and believe our operating results will be in line with our previously stated guidance of revenue of $900 million to $940 million and non-GAAP fully diluted EPS between $0.78 and $0.84 in 2013."
