01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed December 3, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
XPO, Inc. furnished a Form 8-K under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) reporting operating metrics for its North American Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) segment.
The company disclosed final October 2024 metrics: weight per day decreased 8.0%a year over year, driven by a 6.5% decrease in shipments per day and a 1.6% decrease in weight per shipment. In Exhibit 99.1, a press release dated December 3, 2024, XPO reported preliminary November 2024 LTL metrics: tonnage per day decreased 4.0% year over year, reflecting a 4.2% decrease in shipments per day and a 0.2% increase in weight per shipment. The company cautions that actual November results may vary from the preliminary figures.
The filing contains no financial statements, earnings results, or guidance changes. Its main relevance to investors is the continued year-over-year decline in LTL volume metrics, with shipment count the primary driver in both months. The information is furnished rather than filed, so it is not subject to Section 18 liability.
