Insights

The reported increase in full-truckload and less-than-truckload volumes by RXO reflects a robust demand in the logistics sector, particularly in the brokerage services. An 11 percent growth in full-truckload volume and a significant 45 percent surge in less-than-truckload volume year-over-year suggest that RXO is successfully expanding its market share. This is a positive indicator for the company's operational efficiency and its ability to capitalize on market opportunities.

However, the decline in companywide gross margin from 19.5 percent to 18.0 percent and a drop in adjusted EBITDA margin from 5.7 percent to 3.2 percent year-over-year, raises concerns about the company's profitability in a challenging freight environment. Investors should monitor whether RXO's cost reduction strategies and strategic investments can offset these margin pressures and support earnings growth in the future.

From a financial perspective, RXO's revenue decline from $1.1 billion to $1.0 billion in the fourth quarter year-over-year alongside a decrease in adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA signals potential headwinds in the market. The GAAP net income turnaround, from a loss of $4 million to a profit of $2 million, can be viewed positively, but the presence of significant transaction, integration, restructuring and other costs suggests that the company is in a transitional phase.

Investors should consider the company's adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.06, down from the previous year, as a measure of its profitability. The company's expectation of continued brokerage volume growth and the increase in the brokerage sales pipeline by 24 percent could be promising for future earnings, provided that the market conditions remain favorable for RXO's business model.

The technological advancements within RXO, indicated by 97 percent of brokerage loads being created or covered digitally, demonstrate the company's commitment to innovation and efficiency. The increase in digital load management from 87 percent the previous year reflects the company's ability to adapt to the increasingly digital landscape of the logistics industry.

Furthermore, the improvement in the seven-day carrier retention rate to 76 percent is a testament to the effectiveness of RXO's technology platform in fostering carrier loyalty. This could lead to long-term operational benefits and cost savings, as a high retention rate typically correlates with reduced acquisition and negotiation costs. Stakeholders should watch for how these technological investments contribute to RXO's competitive edge and operational performance in the coming quarters.

  • Full-truckload brokerage volume increased 11 percent year-over-year and less-than-truckload volume increased 45 percent year-over-year
  • Continued momentum in RXO's brokerage business with multiple brokerage records in the quarter including total volume and quarterly loads per day
  • Companywide gross margin of 18.0 percent; brokerage gross margin of 14.8 percent

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- RXO (NYSE: RXO) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023.

Drew Wilkerson, chief executive officer of RXO, said, “RXO continued to execute well in the fourth quarter despite the prolonged soft freight environment. For the third consecutive quarter, our brokerage business delivered double-digit volume growth with strong gross margin. Our managed transportation business secured several new managed expedite customers, solidifying our position as a leading provider of this service. Our focus on profitable growth and cost discipline enabled us to expand companywide gross margin sequentially.

“I’m proud of all that we achieved in 2023, our first full year as a standalone company. We responded quickly to our customers’ needs and changing market conditions; as a result, our customers awarded us more freight,” Wilkerson said. “In 2024, we will remain focused on our playbook – taking profitable market share while making strategic investments in our business. Given the current market conditions, we continue to reduce costs, which, combined with our strong brokerage sales pipeline, will position RXO to deliver rapid earnings growth when the market inflects.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP, which are set forth in the financial tables attached to this release.

The non-GAAP financial measures in this release include: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”); adjusted EBITDA margin; and adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted diluted EPS”).

We believe that these adjusted financial measures facilitate analysis of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not reflect, or are unrelated to, RXO’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 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 and adjusted diluted EPS include adjustments for transaction and integration costs, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments as set forth in the attached tables. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating RXO’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 that management has determined do not reflect our core operating activities and thereby assist investors with assessing trends in our underlying business. 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 that management has determined do not reflect 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, and thereby may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying business.

Forward-looking Statements

This release includes forward-looking statements, including statements relating to our outlook and continued year-over-year brokerage volume growth in the first quarter of 2024. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements.

However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.

These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to a material difference include the risks discussed in our filings with the SEC and the following: competition and pricing pressures; economic conditions generally; the severity, magnitude, duration and aftereffects of the COVID-19 pandemic and government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic; fluctuations in fuel prices; increased carrier prices; severe weather, natural disasters, terrorist attacks or similar incidents that cause material disruptions to our operations or the operations of the third-party carriers and independent contractors with which we contract; our dependence on third-party carriers and independent contractors; labor disputes or organizing efforts affecting our workforce and those of our third-party carriers; legal and regulatory challenges to the status of the third-party carriers with which we contract, and their delivery workers, as independent contractors, rather than employees; litigation that may adversely affect our business or reputation; increasingly stringent laws protecting the environment, including transitional risks relating to climate change, that impact our third-party carriers; governmental regulation and political conditions; our ability to develop and implement suitable information technology systems and prevent failures in or breaches of such systems; the impact of potential cyber-attacks and information technology or data security breaches; issues related to our intellectual property rights; our ability to access the capital markets and generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; our ability to successfully implement our cost and revenue initiatives and other strategies; our ability to successfully manage our growth; our reliance on certain large customers for a significant portion of our revenue; damage to our reputation through unfavorable publicity; our failure to meet performance levels required by our contracts with our customers; the inability to achieve the level of revenue growth, cash generation, cost savings, improvement in profitability and margins, fiscal discipline, or strengthening of competitiveness and operations anticipated or targeted; a determination by the IRS that the distribution or certain related separation transactions should be treated as taxable transactions; and the impact of the separation on our businesses, operations and results. All forward-looking statements set forth in this release are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on us or our business or operations.

The tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments represents the tax benefit (expense) calculated using the applicable statutory tax rate that would have been incurred had these adjustments been excluded from net income (loss). Our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP adjustments may differ from our GAAP tax rate due to differences in the methodologies applied.
