Briefing
ArcBest's financial performance was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter of 2020, but cost management efforts partially offset the impact of revenue and business declines.

- Net income for the second quarter of 2020 was $15.9 million, or $0.61 per diluted share.
- On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter 2020 net income was $17.6 million, or $0.67 per diluted share.
- COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted second quarter business levels and financial results.
