01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed March 5, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
XPO, Inc. (NYSE: XPO) furnished a Form 8-K on March 5, 2024 under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure), attaching a press release that provides preliminary operating metrics for its North American Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) segment for February 2024.
The filing states that the information is furnished rather than filed, so it is not subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act. The Chief Financial Officer, Kyle Wismans, signed the report. The key figures in the press release are operating metrics rather than financial results.
LTL tonnage per day increased 3.5%a compared with February 2023. That growth was attributed to a 5.8% year-over-year increase in shipments per day, partially offset by a 2.2% decrease in weight per shipment. The company cautions that actual February 2024 results may vary from these preliminary figures and that February results are not necessarily indicative of future periods.
The release describes XPO as one of the largest providers of asset-based LTL transportation in North America, serving approximately 52,000 customers with 596 locations and 38,000 employees. The forward-looking statements section cites risks including the company's action plan to improve its North American LTL business, cost and revenue initiatives, pricing pressures, and the expected benefits of the GXO Logistics and RXO spin-offs.
