Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed October 30, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

XPO, Inc. furnished a press release under Item 2.02 reporting results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Revenue rose 2.8% to $2.11 billiona from $2.05 billion, while operating income fell 6.8% to $164 million from $176 million and net income fell 13.7% to $82 million from $95 million. Diluted EPS was $0.68, down from $0.79. The decline reflects a $35 million charge in the Corporate segment for environmental and product liability claims tied to a former subsidiary of Con-way, which was sold before XPO acquired Con-way in 2015.

The company said that charge reduced EPS by $0.23b after tax. Excluding non-GAAP items, adjusted diluted EPS rose 4.9% to $1.07 from $1.02, and adjusted EBITDA rose 2.7% to $342 million from $333 million. The North American Less-Than-Truckload segment drove the improvement.

Its revenue was $1.26 billionc, and adjusted operating income grew 9.6% to $217 million. The adjusted operating ratio improved by 150 basis points to 82.7%. Yield excluding fuel increased 5.9%, while shipments per day fell 3.5% and tonnage per day fell 6.1%.

Management cited profitable share gains in the local channel and AI-driven productivity improvements. European Transportation revenue rose 6.7% to $857 milliond, but it posted an operating loss of $2 million, and its adjusted EBITDA fell to $38 million from $44 million. Cash flow and balance sheet items were also reported.

The company generated $371 million of operating cash flow in the quarter and ended with $335 million of cash and cash equivalents after $150 million of net capital expenditures. It repurchased $50 million of common stock and repaid $50 million of term loan financing.

Long-term debt was $3.22 billion at September 30, 2025. Chief Executive Officer Mario Harik said the company continued to exceed expectations in a soft freight environment.
