XPO, Inc. (NYSE: XPO) furnished a Form 8-K on June 6, 2024 under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure), attaching a press release that provides preliminary North American Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) segment operating metrics for May 2024.
The company reported that LTL tonnage per day increased 2.4%a compared with May 2023, driven by a 3.8% year-over-year increase in shipments per day and a 1.4% decrease in weight per shipment. The release states that actual May 2024 results may vary from these preliminary figures. Chief Executive Officer Mario Harik said XPO is continuing to take profitable share in a soft freight market, with improved service quality supporting consistent above-market yield growth.
He stated that second-quarter yield ex-fuel is tracking to a sequential improvement from the first quarter. He also noted that damage frequency improved again in May and that shipments per day growth of 3.8%b marked the fourteenth consecutive month of positive performance.
The filing also states that there was no change in the final April 2024 operating metrics for the North American LTL segment compared with the preliminary figures previously provided in the company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
