Pattern Detected

Earnings releases often produced sizable moves, with three positive-reaction quarters and two instances where the stock rose despite weaker fundamentals.

Recent Company History

Over the last five earnings-related releases from Nov 2024 to Nov 2025, Proficient Auto Logistics showed recurring revenue growth but pressured margins and operating losses. Q2 and Q3 2025 highlighted improving adjusted metrics and deleveraging, while earlier quarters in 2024 and Q1 2025 emphasized revenue declines or margin deterioration. Today’s full-year and Q4 2025 update, with higher revenue but a goodwill-driven operating loss, fits this pattern of scale gains offset by profitability headwinds and ongoing integration of acquisitions.

7 terms

goodwill impairment financial

"the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $27.8 million"

Goodwill impairment occurs when a company’s valued reputation or brand strength, known as goodwill, is found to be worth less than previously recorded on its financial statements. This usually happens when the company's performance declines or market conditions change, signaling that the expected benefits from acquisitions or brand value are no longer as strong. It matters to investors because it can indicate that a company's assets are less valuable than initially thought, potentially affecting its overall financial health.

adjusted operating income financial

"did not affect Adjusted Operating Income(1) or cash flows for the quarter"

Adjusted operating income is a company's profit from its main activities, excluding certain one-time or unusual costs and gains. It helps investors see how well the business is performing in its normal operations, without distractions from rare events or expenses. This way, they get a clearer picture of the company’s true profitability.

adjusted operating ratio financial

"Adjusted Operating Ratio(1) of 97.5% compared to 95.0% in 2024"

Adjusted operating ratio measures the share of a company’s revenue that goes to run its core business after removing one-time items or non-recurring costs, calculated as operating expenses divided by operating revenue with certain adjustments. For investors it shows underlying operational efficiency — like a household tracking regular bills as a percentage of income — where a lower adjusted operating ratio means the business keeps more revenue as profit.

adjusted EBITDA financial

"Adjusted EBITDA (3) | | 9,208 | | 6,968 | | 40,211 |"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

adjusted EBITDA margin financial

"Adjusted EBITDA Margin (3) | | 8.7 | % | | 7.4 | %"

Adjusted EBITDA margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core operations, expressed as a percentage of its total revenue, after removing certain one-time or unusual expenses and income. It helps investors understand the company's true earning ability from regular business activities, making it easier to compare performance over time or with other companies. Think of it as measuring the efficiency of a business in turning sales into profits, excluding irregular adjustments.

seasonally adjusted annual rate financial

"While the seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of automotive sales was down"

A seasonally adjusted annual rate is a way of taking a short-term economic or financial measure (like a monthly or quarterly figure), removing predictable seasonal ups and downs (such as holiday shopping or harvest cycles), and converting the result into a full-year pace. For investors it makes it easier to compare periods and judge underlying trends—like estimating a steady yearly income from a single month after stripping out routine seasonal spikes—so performance and forecasts are less distorted by predictable timing effects.

net leverage ratio financial

"net debt of approximately $60.0 million ... equates to a net leverage ratio of 1.5x"

The net leverage ratio measures how much debt a company has compared to its available assets or earnings, after accounting for its cash and liquid assets. It helps investors understand how heavily a company relies on borrowed money to finance its operations and growth. A higher ratio indicates greater financial risk, while a lower ratio suggests a more cautious approach to borrowing.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Proficient Auto Logistics, Inc. (NASDAQ: PAL) (the “Company” or “Proficient”) today reported its unaudited financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2025, and comparative summary financial information for the same time periods of 2024.

Full Year 2025 Summary (Full Year 2024 information on a combined basis)

Total Operating Revenue of $430.4 million, increased 10.7% from 2024

Total Operating Income (Loss) of ($32.3) million, versus $10.9 million in 2024. During the quarter, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $27.8 million as further detailed below. The charge reduced Operating Income but did not affect Adjusted Operating Income⁽¹⁾ or cash flows for the quarter or full year.

Adjusted Operating Income of $10.8 million, versus $19.5 million in 2024

Adjusted Operating Ratio⁽¹⁾ of 97.5% compared to 95.0% in 2024

Total Units delivered of 2,311,234, an increase of 16.2% from 2024

Rick O’Dell, Proficient’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Reflecting on 2025, the automotive market seemingly peaked in March and April ahead of tariff impacts, and the remainder of the year was weaker than our expectations. Despite that, we made significant progress in completing the integration of the five Founding Companies, Auto Transport Group, and Brothers Auto Transport; demonstrated our top line growth strategies via market share gains and acquisition; set a foundation for ongoing operating ratio reduction into 2026; improved our leverage and balance sheet position, while generating significant free cash flow despite the weaker than expected market conditions; all while delivering reliable, quality service to customers nationwide. We’re excited about the future of the business and our enhanced performance capabilities, even as the external market remains similar to our experience over the latter part of last year.”

Amounts related to ATG and Brothers are included only since August 16, 2024, and April 1, 2025, the respective dates of acquisition.

For the full year, total revenue increased $41.7 million, or 10.7%, versus 2024, while total unit deliveries were up 16.2% versus the same period of 2024, as volume growth was partially offset by lower revenue per unit driven by customer mix. Company unit deliveries increased 24.2% year-over-year for the full year, outpacing 12.4% growth in Subhaul deliveries versus the same period, and reflecting continued prioritization of Company-owned truck asset utilization for units delivered. 

Fourth quarter revenue increased $10.9 million, or 11.5%, compared to the same quarter of 2024. While the seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of automotive sales was down roughly 800,000 vehicles year-over-year in the fourth quarter, a full quarter of the Brothers acquisition and new business wins more than offset the weaker revenue in core markets. However, these incremental gains could not fully overcome the fixed costs associated with the core volume decline, which had negative impacts on margin and operating leverage.

As part of its annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $27.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2025. The impairment resulted from a comparison of the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangibles to estimated fair value which uses a discounted cashflow model and requires significant assumptions regarding future cashflows. The decline in estimated fair value primarily reflects changes in market conditions relative to estimates at the time of the Company’s IPO. Adjusted Operating Ratio, which excludes this charge, was 97.5%, for the full year. The comparison of Adjusted Operating Ratio year-over-year is negatively impacted by the step up in market value on fleet assets acquired in the IPO and subsequent fleet acquisitions of ATG and Brothers. The increased depreciation expense resulting from that step up in valuation represents approximately 0.57% of the reported Adjusted Operating Ratio for full year.

Balance Sheet

The Company ended the fourth quarter with $14.3 million of cash and $74.3 million of debt. The resulting net debt of approximately $60.0 million on December 31, 2025, equates to a net leverage ratio of 1.5x when compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $40.2 million for the trailing twelve months. Total debt was reduced by approximately $4.9 million during the quarter using continuing strong cashflow to further strengthen the balance sheet through reduced leverage.

Appendix

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Operating Ratio, provide useful information in measuring operating performance, generating future operating plans and making strategic decisions regarding allocation of capital. Management believes this information presents helpful comparisons of financial performance between periods by excluding the effect of certain non-cash and non-recurring items.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Operating Ratio do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, and it should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) for the period adjusted for interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation expense and intangible amortization expense.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) for the period adjusted for interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, stock compensation expense and any non-recurring items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of operating revenue.

Operating income is calculated as total operating revenue less total operating expenses.

Adjusted operating income is calculated as total operating revenue less total operating expenses adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, stock compensation expense, and non-recurring items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Operating ratio is calculated as total operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue.

Adjusted operating ratio is calculated as total operating expenses adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, stock compensation expense, and any non-recurring items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance, as a percentage of operating revenue.
