Insights
The financial results presented by GXO Logistics indicate a robust fiscal performance, with significant growth in revenue and net income. The company's adjusted EBITDA of $741 million and free cash flow of $302 million are particularly noteworthy, demonstrating strong operational efficiency and liquidity. The reported cash flows from operations, at 244% of net income, are exceptionally high and suggest that the company is generating ample cash from its business activities beyond what is reported as net income.
Looking ahead, the guidance for 2024 with an organic revenue growth of 2%-5% and an adjusted EBITDA of $760-$790 million indicates confidence in the company's ability to maintain profitability. However, investors should consider the projected free cash flow conversion rate of 30%-40% of adjusted EBITDA, which would represent a decline from the current year's performance. This could be a point of scrutiny as it may reflect on the company's future investment requirements or potential changes in working capital management.
From a market perspective, GXO's announcement of signing more than $1 billion in annualized revenue for 2023, with approximately 40% from outsourcing, suggests a strong demand for their logistics services. The company's focus on automation and AI appears to be a significant driver of their competitive edge, as evidenced by their record deployment of robotics and securing of highly automated contracts with global blue-chip companies. The acquisition of PFSweb, which brought in over 100 brands, indicates a strategic expansion into high-growth verticals that could further diversify GXO's revenue streams and enhance its market positioning.
The strong sales pipeline of approximately $2 billion and the incremental revenue booked for the coming years reflect a robust business development strategy and potential for sustained growth. Investors and stakeholders would be interested in how GXO integrates these new acquisitions and manages the increased scale of operations while maintaining the quality of service and profitability.
From a supply chain and operational standpoint, GXO's performance and strategic moves suggest a deep understanding of the evolving logistics landscape. The company's substantial investment in automation and AI indicates a commitment to increasing efficiency and reducing reliance on manual labor, which could be particularly beneficial in the context of rising labor costs and potential shortages. The emphasis on outsourcing also highlights a trend where companies are increasingly turning to specialized logistics providers to streamline their supply chains.
The acquisition of PFSweb is a significant development, as it could enhance GXO's capabilities in e-commerce fulfillment—a rapidly growing segment of the logistics market. The integration of PFSweb's expertise and client base should be closely watched for its impact on GXO's service offerings and operational resilience. The company's ability to deliver a 'successful operational peak' for their customers as stated by the CEO, reflects positively on their capacity to handle high-demand periods, which is critical in the logistics sector.

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 below.
GXO’s non-GAAP financial measures in this press release include: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and amortization (“adjusted EBITA”), adjusted EBITA, net of income taxes paid, adjusted EBITA margin, adjusted net income attributable to GXO, adjusted earnings per share (basic and diluted) (“adjusted EPS”), free cash flow, free cash flow conversion, organic revenue, organic revenue growth, net leverage ratio, net debt, and operating return on invested capital (“ROIC”).
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, GXO’s 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 used by other companies. GXO’s non-GAAP financial measures should only be used as supplemental measures of our operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITA, adjusted net income attributable to GXO and adjusted EPS include adjustments for transaction and integration costs, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments as set forth in the financial tables below. 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, 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 separating IT systems. Restructuring costs primarily relate to severance costs associated with business optimization initiatives.
We believe that free cash flow and free cash flow conversion are important measures of our ability to repay maturing debt or fund other uses of capital that we believe will enhance stockholder value. We calculate free cash flow as cash flows from operations less capital expenditures plus proceeds from sale of property and equipment. We calculate free cash flow conversion as free cash flow divided by adjusted EBITDA, expressed as a percentage.
We believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITA, adjusted EBITA, net of income taxes paid, and adjusted EBITA 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, which 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 attributable to GXO and adjusted EPS improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the impact of certain costs and gains, which management has determined are not reflective of our core operating activities, including amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.
We believe that organic revenue and organic revenue growth are important measures because they exclude the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, revenue from acquired businesses and revenue from deconsolidated operations.
We believe that net leverage ratio and net debt are important measures of our overall liquidity position and are calculated by removing cash and cash equivalents from our total debt and net debt as a ratio of our adjusted EBITDA. We calculate ROIC as our adjusted EBITA, net of income taxes paid divided by the average invested capital. We believe ROIC provides investors with an important perspective on how effectively GXO deploys capital and use this metric internally as a high-level target to assess overall performance throughout the business cycle.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating GXO’s ongoing performance.
With respect to our financial targets for full-year 2024 organic revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS, and free cash flow conversion, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort due to the variability and complexity of the reconciling items described above that we exclude from these non-GAAP target measures. The variability of these items may have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results and, as a result, we are unable to prepare the forward-looking statements of income and cash flows prepared in accordance with GAAP, that would be required to produce such a reconciliation.
