Insights
The reported increase in diluted earnings from continuing operations per share from $0.15 to $0.56 represents a significant year-over-year growth. This is a considerable gain in profitability for the company, indicating a robust performance in core operations. The North American Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) segment's revenue growth of
The adjusted diluted EPS rise of
An improved adjusted operating ratio in the LTL segment points to better cost control and pricing strategies which are critical in the logistics sector. While the European Transportation segment showed stagnant growth, the improvement in the North American market may compensate for this softness from a global investment perspective. However, investors should consider the potential risks associated with geographic dependencies and monitor the European segment for future improvements or declines.
The logistics sector, particularly LTL services, is facing increased demand due to e-commerce growth and supply chain reconfigurations. XPO's focus on improving key metrics such as yield growth and tonnage per day suggests that the company is leveraging industry tailwinds effectively. A damage claims ratio of
Investors should note that despite positive short-term results, long-term success will depend on the company's ability to maintain its operational efficiency and to navigate market fluctuations, such as fuel costs variations and the potential for economic downturns affecting shipping volumes. The CEO's commentary on still being in the early stages of unlocking full potential may hint at further strategic initiatives that could bolster the firm's market position and enhance shareholder value over time.

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 from continuing operations; adjusted diluted earnings from continuing operations 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 from continuing operations, 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 from continuing operations 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 expenses as set out in the attached tables.
