Insights

Revenue and adjusted operating results improved materially while leverage fell to a moderate level; restructuring drives near-term charges for >$3M annual savings starting 2026.

Proficient reported total operating revenue of $114.3 million in Q3 2025, up 24.9% year-over-year, with adjusted operating income rising to $4.2 million from $1.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $11.96 million for the quarter and the adjusted EBITDA margin remained at 10.5%, indicating revenue growth translated into modest incremental operating cash flow after addbacks.

The company recorded a small GAAP operating loss of ($0.1) million versus ($2.2) million prior-year, and took $1.9 million of restructuring charges that management says yield >$3 million of annualized savings substantially beginning in 2026. Balance sheet moves reduced total debt to $79.2 million and cash of $14.5 million, producing net debt ~$64.7 million and a net leverage of 1.7x on trailing adjusted EBITDA—an intermediate leverage level for a growth-stage logistics consolidator.

Key dependencies and near-term monitors include integration contributions from recent acquisitions (ATG and Brothers) reflected in the revenue gain, realization of the stated $3 million+ annual savings from restructuring beginning in 2026, and the company’s ability to sustain revenue per unit while scaling company-owned asset utilization. Watch quarterly trends in revenue per unit and adjusted operating ratio versus the reported 96.3% as well as quarterly cash flow and scheduled debt paydowns over the next four quarters to confirm the announced efficiency gains and deleveraging trajectory.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Proficient Auto Logistics, Inc. (NASDAQ: PAL) (the “Company” or “Proficient”) today reported its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter Summary

  • Total Operating Revenue of $114.3 million, increased 24.9% from Q3 2024
  • Total Operating Loss of ($0.1) million, versus ($2.2) million in Q3 2024
  • Adjusted Operating Income(1) of $4.2 million, versus $1.1 million in Q3 2024
  • Adjusted Operating Ratio(1) of 96.3% compared to 98.8% in Q3 2024
  • Total Units delivered of 605,341, an increase of 21% from Q3 2024

Rick O’Dell, Proficient’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In the third quarter, PAL delivered strong revenue during a slower seasonal period, and further improved profitability, demonstrating continued momentum from market share gains, operational improvements and strategic execution. We continue to position ourselves as a critical component of the automotive supply chain, with the ability to meet customers’ changing transportation needs in a volatile environment. While the market for trucking, and automotive trucking specifically, has excess transportation supply relative to current demand, we do not expect this to persist long-term, as smaller carriers will face acute challenges related to equipment age and reinvestment, rising insurance costs, driver recruitment and driver fallout, and increasingly stringent service, quality, technology, and regulatory requirements. PAL continues to strengthen its organizational infrastructure, while improving efficiency at the same time. I’m very pleased with our progress 18 months into this journey and I’m encouraged about future progress.”

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

Unit deliveries during the third quarter were up approximately 21.0% from the same period last year. Company unit deliveries increased 24.8% year-over-year, outpacing 19.4% growth in subhaul deliveries versus the same period, reflecting continued prioritization of company-owned truck asset utilization for units delivered. 

Total revenue was up $22.8 million, or 24.9%, compared to the third quarter of 2024, reflecting a full quarter of the ATG and Brothers acquisitions, new business wins, and comparably improved market conditions and revenue per unit versus the same quarter last year. The dedicated fleet portion of Proficient’s revenue was $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $4.7 million in the third quarter of last year.

Third quarter results include $1.9 million of restructuring charges, primarily reflecting consolidation and organizational realignment initiatives designed to improve operational efficiency and future profitability. These charges consisted primarily of separation payments related to headcount reductions and acceleration of premium charges on terminated insurance contracts, from which the Company will derive ongoing savings in excess of $3 million annually, substantially beginning in 2026. Adjusted operating ratio, which excludes these charges, was 96.3%, improved 250 basis points year-over-year. In addition, these actions resulted in approximately $725 thousand of one-time accelerated stock compensation expense in accordance with employment agreements which was not included in the restructuring charge.

Balance Sheet

The Company ended the third quarter with $14.5 million of cash and $79.2 million of debt. The $79.2 million total debt reflects an $11.0 million reduction in the quarter, comprised of $6.0 million in scheduled long-term debt repayment and full paydown of the $5.0 million balance on the Company’s $20.0 million revolving line of credit. The resulting net debt of approximately $64.7 million on September 30, 2025, equates to a net leverage ratio of 1.7x when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $38.0 million for the trailing twelve months.

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 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 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 and stock compensation expense.

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

Adjusted operating income is calculated as total revenue less total operating expenses reduced for share-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles

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

Adjusted operating ratio is calculated as total operating expenses reduced for share-based compensation expense and amortization of intangibles, as a percentage of operating revenue
