Insights
Radiant Logistics' reported decline in revenues and profits for the third fiscal quarter signifies a challenging period for the company. A 24.4% decrease in revenues and a significant downturn from a $4.2 million net income to a $0.7 million net loss clearly indicates that the company is experiencing the impact of current industry-wide issues, such as weak freight demand and excess capacity. This is further substantiated by the 55.2% decrease in adjusted EBITDA, a metric often used to evaluate a company's operating performance.
The stock buy-back initiative, accounting for an aggregate cost of
The recent acquisitions of Select Logistics and Viking Worldwide highlight Radiant Logistics' strategy to consolidate and expand their offerings, with a particular focus on the cruise line industry. Structuring the transaction with a component of the purchase price based on future performance aligns the interests of the acquired companies with those of Radiant. It mitigates some risk inherent in M&A by potentially smoothing out the financial impact of these acquisitions over time.
However, while M&A activity can drive growth and synergies, the announcement comes at a time when core earnings are under pressure, which may raise questions about timing and integration challenges. Investors often scrutinize whether such strategic moves can sufficiently counterbalance current downturns in profitability and until benefits from these acquisitions are reflected in financial outcomes, skepticism may persist.
The CEO's comments suggest a strategic approach to coping with the current adverse market conditions, with an emphasis on organic growth and acquisition synergies. However, the market's response to such strategies typically hinges on broader economic indicators and sector-specific trends. The performance of the logistics sector has been under scrutiny due to global economic pressures and Radiant's report fits within this context.
The reference to 'sequential quarterly improvement' sets an expectation that will need to be closely monitored in the coming quarters. Investors should consider the balance between Radiant's proactive management measures against the backdrop of an industry that remains in flux.
Debt free and well positioned for further growth as market conditions improve;
Continued progress in acquisition of strategic operating partners

CEO Bohn Crain Comments on Results
"Our results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 continue to reflect the difficult freight markets being experienced by the entire industry as well as our operations," said Bohn Crain, Founder and CEO of Radiant Logistics. "This extended period of weak freight demand combined with excess capacity continues to negatively impact not only our current results, but also the year-over-year comparison to our record results for prior year period. With that said, we saw a very difficult January and then steady improvement throughout the quarter and we expect to report sequential quarterly improvement moving forward as markets find their way to more sustainable and normalized levels."
Mr. Crain continued, "Notwithstanding the tough year over year comparisons, we continue to deliver meaningfully positive results and have generated
As previously discussed, we believe we are well positioned to navigate through these slower freight markets as we find our way back to more normalized market conditions. At the same time, we remain focused on delivering profitable growth through a combination of organic and acquisition initiatives and thoughtfully re-levering our balance sheet through a combination of agent station conversions, synergistic tuck-in acquisitions, and stock buy-backs. Through this approach we believe, over time, will continue to deliver meaningful value for our shareholders, operating partners, and the end customers that we serve. In this regard, we are very excited about our recent agent station conversions with the acquisition of Daleray (October 2023) and the Select businesses (February 2024), which will combine to solidify our offering in support of the cruise line industry in

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
RADIANT LOGISTICS, INC.
Reconciliation of Gross Profit to Adjusted Gross Profit, Net Income Attributable to Radiant Logistics, Inc.
to Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
(unaudited)
As used in this report adjusted gross profit, adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted gross profit, adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are presented herein because they are important metrics used by management to evaluate and understand the performance of the ongoing operations of Radiant's business. For adjusted net income, management uses a
We commonly refer to the term "adjusted gross profit" when commenting about our Company and the results of operations. Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP measure calculated as revenues less directly related operations and expenses attributed to the Company's services. Adjusted gross profit is calculated as GAAP gross profit exclusive of depreciation and amortization, which are reported separately. We believe adjusted gross profit is a better measurement than are total revenues when analyzing and discussing the effectiveness of our business and is used as a portion of a key metric the Company uses to discuss its progress.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of income and does not include the effects of interest, taxes, and the "non-cash" effects of depreciation and amortization on long-term assets. Companies have some discretion as to which elements of depreciation and amortization are excluded in the EBITDA calculation. We exclude all depreciation charges related to property, technology, and equipment and all amortization charges (including amortization of leasehold improvements). We then further adjust EBITDA to exclude share-based compensation expense, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, expenses specifically attributable to acquisitions, ransomware incident related costs, changes in fair value of interest rate swap contracts, restatement costs, transition and lease termination costs, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, extraordinary items, litigation expenses unrelated to our core operations, and other non-cash charges. While management considers EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA useful in analyzing our results, it is not intended to replace any presentation included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, represent a useful method of assessing the performance of our operating activities, as they reflect our earnings trends without the impact of certain non-cash charges and other non-recurring charges. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the GAAP financial information by providing additional insight regarding results of operations to allow a comparison to other companies, many of whom use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures will not be defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other companies. Adjusted gross profit, adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any of the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as an indication of Radiant's operating performance or liquidity.
