Marten Transport, Ltd. furnished an update on its recent performance by issuing a press release announcing financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. The release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is furnished, rather than filed, under the securities laws.
The company highlights non-GAAP metrics such as operating revenue net of fuel surcharge revenue and operating expenses as a percentage of that adjusted revenue.
