Fuel Price Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in fuel prices through the consumption of fuel by its vehicle fleet in the delivery of services to its
customers. The Company uses approximately 21 million gallons of fuel on an annual basis. A ten percent change in fuel prices would result in a change of
approximately $6.5 million in the Company's annual fuel costs as of December 31, 2011 before considering the impact of fuel swap contracts. The Company's
exposure to changes in fuel prices has not changed significantly since December 31, 2010.
The Company uses fuel swap contracts to mitigate the financial impact of fluctuations in fuel prices. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had fuel
swap contracts to pay fixed prices for fuel with an aggregate notional amount of $45.5 million, maturing through 2012. The estimated fair value of these
contracts as of December 31, 2011 was a net liability of $0.7 million. These fuel swap contracts provide a fixed price for approximately 65 percent of the
Company's estimated fuel usage for 2012.
