Fiscal Year 2026

Fiscal Year 2025
-
Q4 2025 saw strong free cash flow and disciplined capital allocation, despite revenue declines across all segments. Management expects a challenging start to 2026 but anticipates improvement in logistics and truckload later in the year, with continued focus on tuck-in M&A and leverage reduction.
-
Q3 saw lower revenue and earnings year-over-year, but operating margins improved, especially in US LTL, and free cash flow remained strong. Guidance for Q4 is cautious due to ongoing freight softness, but management is optimistic for 2026, citing cost controls, AI investments, and network optimization.
-
Strong margin performance and free cash flow growth were achieved despite lower revenues and ongoing freight market softness. Operational improvements, cost controls, and a focus on SMB customers drove efficiency, while guidance reflects normal seasonality and cautious optimism for late 2025 recovery.
-
Q1 2025 saw strong free cash flow and revenue growth from acquisitions, but operating income and margins declined due to industry-wide volume softness. Leadership changes and operational initiatives target improved profitability, with guidance for sequential margin and EPS improvement in Q2.

The meeting covered 2024 financials, elected ten directors, reappointed KPMG as auditor, and approved executive compensation. All proposals passed with strong shareholder support, and no questions were raised during the Q&A.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Q4 saw revenue growth from acquisitions but lower operating income and margins due to industry-wide freight weakness and higher costs. Management expects a tough first half of 2025, with improvement possible later in the year, and is focused on cost control, debt reduction, and strategic M&A.
-
Revenue rose 17% year-over-year to $1.9 billion, driven by acquisitions, while adjusted EPS and net income were flat. Free cash flow and debt reduction were strong, but persistent weak market conditions and service challenges in U.S. LTL are expected to keep 2024 performance in line with 2023.
-
Revenue and operating income grew year-over-year, driven by disciplined cost control and the Daseke acquisition, despite a soft freight market. Guidance for 2024 is unchanged, with continued focus on cost reduction, debt repayment, and strategic M&A in LTL and logistics.
