Third quarter 2025 includes a $35 million charge ($27 million after-tax or -$0.23 per share) related to environmental and product liability claims involving a former subsidiary of Con-way, which was sold prior to XPO's acquisition of Con-way in 2015
See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of the press release
Third quarter 2024 includes a $9 million gain ($7 million after-tax or $0.06 per share) on a past investment in a private company that was sold in the quarter
Mario Harik, chief executive officer of XPO, said, “We continued to exceed expectations in the third quarter, delivering adjusted EBITDA of $342 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.07, both up year-over-year in a soft freight environment.
“In North American LTL, we grew adjusted operating income by 10% to $217 million and improved our adjusted operating ratio by 150 basis points to 82.7%, significantly outperforming seasonality. Additionally, we drove meaningful year-over-year and sequential improvements in yield, and our eleventh consecutive quarter of sequential growth in revenue per shipment, excluding fuel. A combination of profitable share gains in the local channel and AI-driven productivity improvements generated strong margin outperformance in the quarter.”
Harik continued, “Our intense execution is resulting in record service quality and margin expansion at the trough of the cycle. We’re in the early innings of realizing our long-term margin opportunity, and we expect performance to accelerate as our strategy continues to gain traction.”
Third Quarter Highlights
For the third quarter 2025, the company generated revenue of $2.11 billion, compared with $2.05 billion for the same period in 2024.
Operating income was $164 million for the third quarter, compared with $176 million for the same period in 2024. Net income was $82 million for the third quarter, compared with $95 million for the same period in 2024. The year-over-year decrease in operating income and net income reflects a $35 million charge in the Corporate segment for a legal matter related to a subsidiary owned by Con-way pre-acquisition. This is reflected in diluted earnings per share of $0.68 for the third quarter, compared with $0.79 for the same period in 2024.
Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $128 million for the third quarter, compared with $122 million for the same period in 2024. Adjusted diluted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $1.07 for the third quarter, compared with $1.02 for the same period in 2024.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $342 million for the third quarter, compared with $333 million for the same period in 2024.
The company generated $371 million of cash flow from operating activities in the third quarter and ended the quarter with $335 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, after $150 million of net capital expenditures. The company repurchased $50 million of common stock and repaid $50 million of term loan financing in the third quarter.
Results by Business Segment
- North American Less-Than-Truckload (LTL): The segment generated revenue of $1.26 billion for the third quarter 2025, compared with $1.25 billion for the same period in 2024. On a year-over-year basis, shipments per day decreased 3.5%, and tonnage per day decreased 6.1%, while yield, excluding fuel, increased 5.9%.
Operating income was $208 million for the third quarter, compared with $188 million for the same period in 2024. Adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $217 million for the third quarter, compared with $198 million for the same period in 2024. Adjusted operating ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 82.7%, reflecting a year-over-year improvement of 150 basis points.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $308 million, compared with $284 million for the same period in 2024. The year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA was due primarily to yield growth and improved productivity, partially offset by lower tonnage per day and wage inflation.
- European Transportation: The segment generated revenue of $857 million for the third quarter 2025, compared with $803 million for the same period in 2024. Operating income was a loss of $2 million for the third quarter, compared with income of $6 million for the same period in 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA was $38 million for the third quarter, compared with $44 million for the same period in 2024.
- Corporate: The segment generated an operating loss of $42 million for the third quarter 2025, compared with a loss of $18 million for the same period in 2024. The
year-over-year increase in operating loss reflects the $35 million charge for a legal matter, partially offset by a reduction of $11 million in transaction and integration costs.
Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $4 million for the third quarter 2025, compared with income of $5 million for the same period in 2024, as the company lapped a gain on a past investment in a private company that was sold a year ago.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP, which are set forth in the financial tables attached to this press release.
XPO’s non-GAAP financial measures in this press release include: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) on a consolidated basis and for corporate; adjusted EBITDA margin on a consolidated basis; adjusted net income; adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted diluted EPS”); adjusted operating income for our North American Less-Than-Truckload and European Transportation segments; and adjusted operating ratio for our North American Less-Than-Truckload segment.
We believe that the above adjusted financial measures facilitate analysis of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be reflective of, or are unrelated to, XPO and its business segments’ core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying businesses. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should only be used as supplemental measures of our operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio include adjustments for transaction and integration costs, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments as set forth in the attached tables. Transaction and integration adjustments are generally incremental costs that result from an actual or planned acquisition, divestiture or spin-off and may include transaction costs, consulting fees, stock-based compensation, retention awards, internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities) and certain costs related to integrating and converging IT systems. Restructuring costs primarily relate to severance costs associated with business optimization initiatives. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating XPO’s and each business segment’s ongoing performance.
We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, improve comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest and financing expenses), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax impacts and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables that management has determined are not reflective of core operating activities and thereby assist investors with assessing trends in our underlying businesses. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the impact of certain costs and gains that management has determined are not reflective of our core operating activities, including amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, transaction and integration costs, restructuring costs and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables. We believe that adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the impact of certain transaction and integration costs and restructuring costs, as well as amortization expense and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables.
