Forward Air Corporation reported a Q1 2026 net loss of $40.2M, an improvement from a $61.2M loss a year earlier, on operating revenues of $582.0M, down 5.1%. Operating income rose to $20.4M from $4.8M as purchased transportation and compensation costs declined with softer volumes.
Segment results were mixed: Expedited Freight revenue grew 9.4% to $272.7M with better profitability, while Omni Logistics revenue fell 6.5% and Intermodal declined 15.0%. Total other expense increased, driven by a $16.7M charge to increase a Tax Receivable Agreement liability.
The company highlighted a key risk: its largest customer represented about 12% of Q1 2026 revenue and is in discussions to transition a significant portion of contract logistics business to other providers over transition periods of up to 24 months. The board ended its sale review without a buyer and is now pursuing potential sales of non-core assets, including the Intermodal segment and certain Omni businesses, to help deleverage. Cash rose to $141.0M with operating cash flow of $45.7M, and the leverage ratio of 5.44x remained within the 6.25x covenant.
Forward Air Corporation reported a Q1 2026 net loss while improving operations and cash flow, and disclosed a pending loss of major business. Revenue was $582.0 million, down 5.1% year over year. Income from operations rose to $20.4 million from $4.8 million, but net loss was $40.2 million, improving from a $61.2 million loss. Diluted loss per share narrowed to $(1.09) from $(1.68). Consolidated EBITDA was $70.4 million. Liquidity increased to $402 million, including $141 million of cash and $261 million of revolver availability, and free cash flow rose to $40.2 million from $16.4 million. The Expedited Freight segment grew revenue 9.4% to $272.7 million with a 10.4% Reported EBITDA margin, while Omni Logistics generated $302.4 million of revenue with an improved 8.3% margin. The Intermodal segment’s revenue fell 15.0% to $53.1 million and margin declined. Forward Air also warned that one of its largest customers, which contributed about $250 million of 2025 revenue, is expected to shift most of its business to other providers beginning in early 2027. After a broad strategic review produced no actionable sale proposal for the whole company, the Board plans to pursue sales of non-core assets, including the Intermodal segment and two smaller Omni businesses, to help reduce debt and sharpen focus on core service-sensitive logistics.
