CEO Comments

Brad Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of XPO Logistics, said, “We delivered a record first quarter, with significant beats across revenue, net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS. We’re executing on multiple avenues for value creation — the spin-off of our tech-enabled brokered services platform, the sale or listing of our European business, our continued deleveraging, and company-specific initiatives for the ongoing transformation of our North American LTL business.

“Over the last six months, we’ve been investing in making our LTL network larger and more efficient, with more to follow. Service levels have markedly improved, and our yield was a record first quarter increase of 9% from a year ago. We continue to expect our adjusted operating ratio to inflect to year-over-year improvement later this quarter, with an improvement of more than 100 basis points for the full year. We plan to drive hundreds of additional basis points of improvement in the coming years.

“Our best-in-class truck brokerage business gained share again in the quarter, with year-over-year load growth of 23%. Shippers increasingly want cutting-edge brokerage automation, and our XPO Connect platform gives them access to more than one and a half million carrier trucks. We’re creating or covering 74% of our brokerage loads digitally on the platform, up four percentage points from the fourth quarter.”

Jacobs continued, “Following our eighth straight beat on adjusted EBITDA in the quarter, our April results accelerated both sequentially and year-over year in many of our key metrics. We raised our full-year financial outlook by more than the beat to reflect our momentum.”

• North American Less-Than-Truckload: The segment generated revenue of $1.1 billion for the first quarter 2022, compared with $962 million for the same period in 2021. The year-over-year increase in revenue primarily reflects an increase in yield.
  
  Operating income for the segment was $132 million for the first quarter 2022, compared with $145 million for the same period in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2022, which had no real estate sales, was $205 million, compared with $214 million, or $197 million, excluding gains on real estate sales, for the same period in 2021.
  
  First quarter operating ratio for the LTL segment was 88.1%, and the adjusted operating ratio was 85.7%.

• Brokerage and Other Services: The segment generated revenue of $2.43 billion for the first quarter 2022, compared with $2.07 billion for the same period in 2021. The year-over-year increase in segment revenue reflects a significant increase in North American truck brokerage loads, facilitated by the company’s XPO Connect® digital platform, as well as strength in other brokerage services.
  
  Operating income for the segment was $100 million for the first quarter 2022, compared with $64 million for the same period in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was $164 million for the first quarter 2022, compared with $125 million for the same period in 2021. The year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by volume growth in truck brokerage, and by strong pricing in other brokerage services, partially offset by higher segment costs for third-party transportation and compensation.
  
  Truck brokerage revenue in North America increased 38% to $824 million for the first quarter, compared with $596 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by a 23% increase in loads in the quarter. Margin (revenue less cost of transportation and services) increased 21% to $134 million for the quarter, compared with $111 million for the same period in 2021.

• Corporate: Corporate expense, excluding the $450 million gain on the sale of the intermodal operation, was $57 million for the first quarter 2022, compared with $70 million for the same period in 2021. Corporate adjusted EBITDA was an expense of $48 million for the first quarter 2022, compared with $60 million for the same period in 2021.

Sale of Intermodal Operation

On March 24, 2022, XPO sold its North American intermodal operation for cash proceeds of approximately $710 million, subject to a customary post-closing purchase price adjustment. The company had previously announced its intent to divest the intermodal operation as part of its 2022 strategic plan.

Liquidity Position and Deleveraging

As of March 31, 2022, the company had $2.0 billion of total liquidity, including $1.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $1.0 billion of available borrowing capacity, with a net leverage ratio of 2.0x, down from 2.7x at year-end 2021. Net leverage ratio is calculated as net debt of $2.56 billion, divided by adjusted EBITDA of $1.28 billion for the trailing 12 months ended March 31, 2022.

As previously announced, XPO is committed to reducing its net leverage ratio to 1.0x – 2.0x. On April 9, 2022, the company redeemed $630 million of the $1.15 billion in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.250% Senior Notes due 2025. The March sale of the intermodal operation and the April debt paydown accelerated the pace of the company’s deleveraging plan.

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 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 used in this press release include: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) on a consolidated basis and for corporate and intersegment eliminations; adjusted EBITDA margin on a consolidated basis; adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders and adjusted diluted earnings from continuing operations per share (“adjusted EPS”); margin (revenue less cost of transportation and services) and margin as a percentage of revenue (margin % of revenue) by service offering; free cash flows; adjusted operating income (including and excluding gains on real estate transactions) for our North American less-than-truckload segment; adjusted operating ratio (including and excluding gains on real estate transactions) for our North American less-than-truckload segment; and adjusted EBITDA excluding gains on real estate transactions for our North American Less-Than-Truckload segment. Also, XPO’s non-GAAP financial measures include net leverage for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2022 and net debt as of March 31, 2022.

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 net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders and adjusted EPS 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, retention awards, and 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 free cash flow is an important measure 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 net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, less payment for purchases of property and equipment plus proceeds from sale of property and equipment. 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), litigation settlements, 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 from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders and adjusted 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 margin (revenue less cost of transportation and services) and margin as a percentage of revenue (margin % of revenue) improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the cost of transportation and services, in particular the cost of fuel, incurred in the reporting period 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 (i) removing the impact of certain transaction and integration costs and restructuring costs, as well as amortization expenses and (ii) including the impact of pension income incurred in the reporting period as set out in the attached tables. We believe that net leverage and net debt are important measures of our overall liquidity position and are calculated by removing cash and cash equivalents from our reported total debt and reporting net debt as a ratio of our trailing twelve-month reported adjusted EBITDA.

With respect to our financial targets for full year 2022 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow, and our financial target for 2022 second quarter adjusted EBITDA, 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 statement of income and statement of cash flows prepared in accordance with GAAP that would be required to produce such a reconciliation.
