Readers are cautioned that a forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statement.
The risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause or contribute to actual results differing materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: unfavorable economic and market conditions, including inflation, tariffs, and trade disputes; our ability to successfully manage operational challenges and disruptions, as well as related federal, state, and local government responses arising from future pandemics; economic and business risks inherent in the truckload and transportation industry, including competitive pressures pertaining to pricing, capacity, and service; our ability to effectively manage truck capacity brought about by cyclical driver shortages and successfully execute our yield management strategies; our ability to maintain key customer and supply arrangements, including dedicated arrangements, and to manage disruption of our business due to factors outside of our control, such as natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, disease outbreaks, or pandemics; volatility in the market valuation of our investments in strategic partners and technologies; our ability to manage and effectively implement our growth and diversification strategies and cost saving initiatives; our dependence on our reputation and the Schneider brand and the potential for adverse publicity, damage to our reputation, and the loss of brand equity; risks related to demand for our service offerings; risks associated with the loss of a significant customer or customers; capital investments that fail to match customer demand or for which we cannot obtain adequate funding; fluctuations in the price or availability of fuel, the volume and terms of diesel fuel purchase agreements, our ability to recover fuel costs through our fuel surcharge programs, and potential changes in customer preferences (e.g. truckload vs. intermodal services) driven by diesel fuel prices; fluctuations in the value and demand for our used Class 8 heavy-duty tractors and trailers; our ability to attract and retain qualified drivers, owner-operators, and third-party carriers in sufficient numbers to support our service offerings; our dependence on railroads in the operation of our intermodal business; changes in the outsourcing practices of our third-party logistics customers; difficulty in obtaining fuel, equipment, goods, and services from our vendors and suppliers; variability in insurance and claims expenses and the risks of insuring claims through our captive insurance company; the impact of laws and regulations that apply to our business, including those that relate to the environment, taxes, associates, owner-operators, and our captive insurance company; changes to those laws and regulations; and the increased costs of compliance with existing or future federal, state, and local regulations; political, economic, and other risks from cross-border operations and operations in multiple countries; risks associated with financial, credit, and equity markets, including our ability to service indebtedness and fund capital expenditures and strategic initiatives; negative seasonal patterns generally experienced in the trucking industry during traditionally slower shipping periods and winter months; risks associated with severe weather and similar events; significant systems disruptions, including those caused by cybersecurity events and firmware defects; exposure to claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business; our ability to adapt to new technologies and new participants in the truckload and transportation industry; and those risks and uncertainties discussed in (1) our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K in (a) Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” (b) Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and (c) Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data: Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies,” (2) this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in (a) Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” (b) Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements: Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies,” and (c) Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” and (3) other factors discussed in filings with the SEC by the Company.

SCHNEIDER NATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. GENERAL
Nature of Operations
Schneider National, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together “Schneider,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are among the largest providers of surface transportation and logistics solutions in North America. We offer a multimodal portfolio of services and an array of capabilities and resources that leverage data science and analytics to provide innovative solutions that coordinate the timely, safe, and effective movement of customer products. The Company offers truckload, intermodal, and logistics services to a diverse customer base throughout the continental U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements and footnotes do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Financial results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods presented.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU expands the disclosures related to rate reconciliations by requiring entities to disclose items meeting a quantitative threshold and eight categories. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We believe this standard will expand our disclosures but will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We will adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of 2025.
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). This ASU expands disclosures for certain costs and expenses included within each relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement. We believe this standard will require us to expand our disclosures but will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of 2027.
2. ACQUISITIONS
Cowan
On December 2, 2024, we acquired 100% of the membership interest of Cowan and affiliated entities holding assets comprising substantially all of Cowan’s business for approximately $398.6 million inclusive of cash and other working capital adjustments. On December 30, 2024, we paid $31.1 million for select Cowan real estate assets in a separate transaction. The acquisition was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our $400.0 million delayed-draw term loan facility. See Note 7, Debt and Credit Facilities for more information on the delayed-draw term loan facility.
Cowan is primarily a dedicated carrier based in Baltimore, MD with a portfolio of services including brokerage, drayage, and warehousing with operations predominantly in the Eastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S. which we believe complements our dedicated operations.
The acquisition of Cowan was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair value estimates of acquired property and equipment were based on an independent appraisal, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the assets. Key assumptions used in the transportation equipment appraisals were based on the market approach, while key assumptions used in the land, buildings and improvements, and other property and equipment appraisals were based on a combination of the income (direct capitalization) and sales comparison approaches, as appropriate. These inputs represent Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy and required significant judgments and estimates at the time of valuation. The assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm was used to determine the estimated fair values and useful lives of finite-
lived intangible assets including customer relationships and trademarks. Valuation methods used were the multi-period excess earnings method and relief from royalty method for customer relationships and trademarks, respectively.
The excess of the purchase price over preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill within the Truckload segment. The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies and growth opportunities within our dedicated business and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition-related costs consisting of fees incurred for advisory, legal, and accounting services were not material and were included in other general expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Certain amounts recorded in connection with the acquisition are still considered preliminary as we continue to gather the necessary information to finalize our fair value estimates and provisional amounts. Provisional amounts include items related to working capital adjustments and deferred taxes.
During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may adjust provisional amounts that were recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. We anticipate finalizing the determination of the fair value no later than November 30, 2025.
The preliminary purchase price allocation for Cowan, which may be adjusted as we finalize our fair value estimates and provisional amounts, was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions) | | December 2, 2024 Opening Balance Sheet | | Adjustments | | Adjusted December 2, 2024 Opening Balance Sheet | | | |

The above adjustments made during the measurement period were primarily related to working capital, fixed assets, and intangible assets.
The following unaudited pro forma operating revenues give effect to the acquisition had it been effective January 1, 2024. Combined unaudited pro forma operating revenues of the Company and Cowan would have been approximately $1,480.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $2,957.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024; our earnings for the same period would not have been materially different.
3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Disaggregated Revenues
The majority of our revenues are related to transportation and have similar characteristics. Beginning on December 2, 2024, Cowan revenues are included in Transportation revenues, consistent with our other Truckload and Logistics segments.
The following table summarizes our revenues by type of service. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
Disaggregated Revenues (in millions) | | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 | | 2024 |

Other current liabilities—Contract liabilities | | 0.1 | | | — | |
We generally receive payment within 40 days of completion of performance obligations. Contract assets in the table above relate to revenue in transit at the end of the reporting period.
4. FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the estimated price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value fall into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2, and 3) as follows:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The table below sets forth the Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring, monthly basis in accordance with ASC 820.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Fair Value |
(in millions) | | Level in Fair Value Hierarchy | | June 30, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
Equity investment in TuSimple (1) | | 1 | | $ | 0.1 | | | $ | 0.1 | |
Marketable securities (2) | | 2 | | 44.4 | | | 47.9 | |
(1)Our equity investment in TuSimple is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as shares of TuSimple’s Class A common stock are traded on an Over the Counter (“OTC”) market. See Note 5, Investments, for additional information.
(2)Marketable securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as they are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active. See Note 5, Investments, for additional information.
The fair value of the Company’s unsecured senior notes was $51.4 million and $145.9 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s unsecured senior notes was $50.0 million and $145.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value of our debt was calculated using a fixed rate debt portfolio with similar terms and maturities, which is based on the borrowing rates available to us in the applicable period. This valuation used Level 2 inputs.
The recorded values of cash, trade accounts receivable, lease receivables, trade accounts payable, and amounts outstanding under revolving credit agreements and the delayed-draw term loan facility approximate fair values.
5. INVESTMENTS
Marketable Securities
Our marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value in current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. While our intent is to hold our securities to maturity, sudden changes in the market or our liquidity needs may cause us to sell certain securities in advance of their maturity date.
Any unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets, unless we determine that the amortized cost basis is not recoverable. If we determine that the amortized cost basis of the impaired security is not recoverable, we recognize the credit loss by increasing the allowance for those losses. We did not have an allowance for credit losses on our marketable securities as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Cost basis is determined using the specific identification method.
The following table presents the remaining maturities and values of our marketable securities as of the dates shown. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Total marketable securities | | | | $ | 46.0 | | | $ | 44.4 | | | $ | 50.5 | | | $ | 47.9 | |
Equity Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values
The Company’s primary strategic equity investments without readily determinable fair values include Platform Science, Inc., a provider of telematics and fleet management tools, and MLSI, a transportation technology development company. The Company previously had an investment in ChemDirect, a business-to-business digital marketplace for the chemical industry. In February 2025, ChemDirect’s Board approved the dissolution of the company, and we recorded a $4.9 million loss in other expense—net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2025. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company funded a $13.0 million short term note receivable for MLSI which bore interest at 7.5%. In May 2025, the note receivable, plus accrued interest of $0.4 million, was converted to shares of preferred stock totaling $13.4 million in a noncash transaction.
These investments are being accounted for under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, using the measurement alternative, and their combined values as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $137.3 million and $124.4 million, respectively. If the Company identifies observable price changes for identical or similar securities of the same issuer, the equity security is measured at fair value as of the date the observable transaction occurred using Level 3 inputs. As of June 30, 2025, our cumulative upward and downward adjustments were $78.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
In addition to our investment in MLSI, we hold a $10.0 million note receivable from MLSI as of June 30, 2025 which was funded during the first quarter of 2023, is subject to interest over its term, and matures in March 2030. We also hold a $2.5 million note receivable from Platform Science, Inc. as of June 30, 2025, which was executed and funded during the second quarter of 2024, is subject to interest over its term, and matures in March 2027.
The following table summarizes the activity related to these equity investments during the periods presented. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Equity Investments with Readily Determinable Fair Values
In 2021, the Company purchased a $5.0 million non-controlling interest in TuSimple, a Chinese autonomous trucking start-up. Upon completion of its IPO in April 2021, our investment in TuSimple was converted into Class A common shares and is being accounted for under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. Our net investment and activity were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, nor at December 31, 2024. See Note 4, Fair Value, for additional information on the fair value of our investment in TuSimple.
Equity Method Investment
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company invested $5.0 million consisting primarily of internal use software and cash in exchange for a 50% non-controlling ownership interest in Scope 23 LLC, a technology company that designs supply chain and logistics solutions to help companies manage their carbon emissions. Our interest is being accounted for under ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, activity was not material. The carrying value of our investment was $4.3 million and $4.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
All of our equity investments and notes receivable are included in internal use software and other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Gains or losses on our equity investments are recognized within other expenses—net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Long-term debt | | $ | 509.5 | | | $ | 416.3 | |
Our Revolving Credit Agreement (the “2022 Credit Facility”) provides borrowing capacity of $250.0 million and allows us to request an additional increase in total commitment by up to $150.0 million, for a total potential commitment of $400.0 million through November 2027. We had no outstanding borrowings as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The 2022 Credit Facility also provides a sublimit of $100.0 million to be used for the issuance of letters of credit. Standby letters of credit under this agreement amounted to $0.4 million as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and were primarily related to the requirements of certain of our real estate leases.
During the second quarter of 2024, we renewed our Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “2024 Receivables Purchase Agreement”), which allows us to borrow funds against qualifying trade receivables up to $200.0 million through May 2027, inclusive of a $100.0 million sublimit to be used for the issuance of letters of credit. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, standby letters of credit under these agreements amounted to $96.0 million and $97.8 million, respectively, and were primarily related to the requirements of certain of our insurance obligations.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, SNL entered into a delayed-draw term loan facility with capacity up to $400.0 million and Bank of America as the administrative agent. Borrowings are unsecured, subject to interest over their term based on the either the Term SOFR or the ABR (“Alternate Base Rate”) at the election of the Company for each borrowing, and mature in November 2029. Quarterly principal payments of .625% of the outstanding balance will be due beginning September 2025 and continue until the agreement matures in November 2029.
8. LEASES
As Lessee
We lease real estate and equipment under operating and finance leases. Our real estate operating leases include operating centers, distribution warehouses, offices, and drop yards. Our non-real estate operating and finance leases include transportation, office, yard, warehouse, and other equipment, in addition to truck washes. Most leases include an option to extend the lease, and a small number include an option to terminate the lease early, which may include a termination payment.
In conjunction with our acquisition of M&M, the Company entered into nine related party leases. The leases are for the use of shop, warehouse, office, and drop yard locations throughout the country. The leases run through 2026, and the related lease payments are not material.
Additional information related to our leases is as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

As of June 30, 2025, we had one lease that was signed but not yet commenced. The lease commences in July 2025, has a lease term of three years, and lease payments are not material.
As Lessor
We finance various types of transportation-related equipment for independent third parties under lease contracts, which are generally for one to three years and are accounted for as sales-type leases with fully guaranteed residual values. Our leases contain an option for the lessee to return, extend, or purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for the guaranteed contract residual amount. This contract residual amount is estimated to approximate the fair value of the equipment. Lease payments primarily include base rentals and guaranteed residual values.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, investments in lease receivables were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in millions) | | June 30, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
Future minimum payments to be received on leases | | $ | 172.4 | | | $ | 166.2 | |
Guaranteed residual lease values | | 99.3 | | | 96.7 | |
Total minimum lease payments to be received | | 271.7 | | | 262.9 | |
Unearned income | | (46.5) | | | (44.5) | |
Net investment in leases | | $ | 225.2 | | | $ | 218.4 | |
Prior to entering a lease contract, we assess the credit quality of the potential lessee using credit checks and other relevant factors, ensuring that the inherent credit risk is consistent with our existing lease portfolio. Given our leases have fully guaranteed residual values and we can take possession of the transportation-related equipment in the event of default, we do not categorize net investment in leases by different credit quality indicators upon origination. We monitor our lease portfolio weekly by tracking amounts past due, days past due, and outstanding maintenance account balances, including performing subsequent credit checks as needed.
Our net investment in leases with any portion past due as of June 30, 2025 was $54.4 million, which includes both current and future lease payments. Lease payments on our lease receivables are generally due on a weekly basis and are classified as past due when the weekly payment is not received by its due date. As of June 30, 2025, our lease payments past due were $2.3 million.
The table below provides additional information on our sales-type leases.

9. INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rate was 24.1% and 25.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 24.5% and 25.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items. This rate is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and best estimates of nontaxable and nondeductible income and expense items.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted a budget reconciliation package known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) which includes significant provisions such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and restoration of favorable tax treatments for certain business provisions. ASC 740 requires entities to recognize the effects of new income tax legislation on deferred tax balances in the reporting period in which the legislation is enacted; we will record the effects on deferred tax balances in the third quarter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new legislation but does not expect it to have a material impact on our results of operations.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded 0.3 million and 0.1 million share-based awards and options that had an anti-dilutive effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 0.7 million and 0.3 million share-based awards and options that had an anti-dilutive effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Common Shares Outstanding
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had 83,029,500 shares of Class A common stock outstanding. There were no changes to the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Changes to our Class B common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

In January 2023, our Board approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of its Class A and/or Class B common shares. The program does not obligate the Company to repurchase a minimum number of shares and is intended to help offset the dilutive effect of equity grants to employees over time. Under this program, the Company may repurchase shares in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had repurchased $103.9 million of its Class B common shares under the share repurchase program.
Subsequent Event - Dividends Declared
In July of 2025, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend for the third fiscal quarter of 2025 in the amount of $0.095 per share to holders of our Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend is payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 12, 2025 and will be paid on October 9, 2025.
11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We grant various equity-based awards relating to Class B common stock to employees under our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“the Plan”). These awards have historically consisted of restricted shares, RSUs, performance-based restricted shares (“performance shares”), PSUs, and non-qualified stock options. Performance shares and PSUs granted are earned based on attainment of threshold performance of earnings and return on capital targets, in addition to a multiplier applied based on rTSR against peers over the performance period.
Share-based compensation expense was $4.6 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $9.2 million and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We recognize share-based compensation expense over the awards’ vesting period. As of June 30, 2025, we had $25.3 million of pre-tax unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding share-based compensation awards expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in certain legal matters and investigations including liability claims, taxes other than income taxes, contract disputes, employment, and other litigation matters. We accrue for anticipated costs to resolve matters that are probable and estimable. We believe the outcomes of these matters will not have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.
We record liabilities for claims against the Company based on our best estimate of expected losses. Claims lodged against the Company generally arise out of its trucking, intermodal, and logistics operations and consist primarily of personal injury, unpaid wages and benefits, workers’ compensation, property damage, and cargo claims. For certain claims, we maintain excess liability insurance with licensed insurance carriers for liability in excess of amounts we self-insure, which serves to largely offset the Company’s liability associated with these claims, with the exception of wage and benefit claims for which we self-insure. We review our accruals periodically to ensure that the aggregate amounts of our accruals are appropriate at any period after consideration of available insurance coverage. Although we expect our claims accruals will continue to vary based on future developments, assuming that we are able to continue to obtain and maintain excess liability insurance coverage for such claims, we do not anticipate that such accruals will, in any period, materially impact our operating results.
As of June 30, 2025, our firm commitments to purchase transportation equipment totaled $134.9 million.
Prior to 2024, the Company recorded charges resulting from adverse tax assessments by a state tax authority over the applicability of sales tax on rolling stock equipment used within that state. After filing an appeal with the state Appellate Tax Board in January 2024, the Company received an assessment for additional periods which were audited by the state tax authority and filed a request for appeal of that assessment with the state tax authority. The adjustment recorded as a result of the audit, including additional interest and penalties, was not material. These tax assessments and related interest and penalties have been recorded within operating supplies and expenses—net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
13. SEGMENT REPORTING
We have three reportable segments – Truckload, Intermodal, and Logistics – which are based primarily on the services each segment provides.
The CODM reviews revenues for each segment without the inclusion of fuel surcharge revenues. For segment purposes, any fuel surcharge revenues earned are recorded as a reduction of the segment’s fuel expenses. Income from operations at the segment level reflects the measure presented to the CODM for each segment.
Separate balance sheets are not prepared by segment, and as a result, assets are not separately identifiable by segment. All transactions between reportable segments are eliminated in consolidation.
Substantially all of our revenues and assets were generated or located within the U.S.
The following tables summarize our segment information. Inter-segment revenues within Other include revenues from insurance premiums charged to other segments for workers’ compensation, auto, and other types of insurance. Inter-segment revenues included in Other revenues below were $25.0 million and $24.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $48.1 million and $49.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
INTRODUCTION
Company Overview
We are a transportation and logistics services company providing a multimodal portfolio of truckload, intermodal, and logistics solutions. Our diversified portfolio of complementary service offerings enables us to serve our customers’ varied transportation needs and to allocate capital in a manner that seeks to maximize returns across all market cycles and economic conditions. We continually monitor our performance and market conditions to ensure appropriate allocation of capital and resources to grow our businesses, while optimizing returns across reportable segments. Our strong balance sheet, scalable platform, and experienced operations team are supportive of our acquisition strategy, which includes acquiring high-quality businesses that meet our disciplined selection criteria to enhance our service offerings and broaden our customer base.
Our truckload services consist of over-the-road freight transportation via dry van, bulk, temperature-controlled, and flat-bed trailers across either network or dedicated configurations. Freight is transported and delivered by our company-employed drivers in company trucks and by owner-operators with company-owned trailers and executed through long-haul or regional services, including customized solutions for high-value and time-sensitive loads throughout North America.
Our intermodal services consist of door-to-door container on flat car service through a combination of rail and dray transportation, in association with our rail providers. Our intermodal business uses company-owned containers, chassis, and trucks with primarily company dray drivers, augmented by third-party dray capacity.
Our logistics services consist of asset-light freight brokerage (including both traditional brokerage and Power Only services which leverage our nationwide company-owned trailer pools to match third-party capacity with customer demand), supply chain (including 3PL), warehousing, and import/export services. Our logistics business provides value-added services using both our assets and third-party capacity, augmented by our trailing assets, to manage and move our customers’ freight.
Our success depends on our ability to balance our transportation network and efficiently and effectively manage our resources in the delivery of truckload, intermodal, and logistics services to our customers. Resource requirements vary with customer demand, which may be subject to seasonal or general economic conditions. We believe that our ability to properly select freight and adapt to changes in customer transportation needs allows us to efficiently deploy resources and make capital investments in trucks, trailers, containers, and chassis or obtain qualified third-party capacity at reasonable prices.
Consistent with the transportation industry, our business can be seasonal across each of our segments, which generally translates to our reported revenues being the lowest in the first quarter and highest in the fourth quarter. Operating expenses tend to be higher in the winter months, primarily due to colder weather, which causes higher maintenance expense and higher fuel consumption from increased idle time.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this section of our report, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), (2) adjusted income from operations, (3) adjusted total operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge revenues, (4) adjusted operating ratio, (5) adjusted net income, (6) adjusted EBITDA, and (7) free cash flow. We also provide reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes the use of each of these non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding our business by (1) removing the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance, (2) providing investors with the same information our management uses internally to assess our core operating performance, and (3) presenting comparable financial results between periods. In addition, in the case of revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) and adjusted total operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge revenues, we believe these measures are useful to investors because they isolate volume, price, and cost changes directly related to industry demand and the way we operate our business from the external factor of fluctuating fuel prices and the programs we have in place to manage such fluctuations. Fuel-related costs and their impact on our industry are important to our results of operations, but they are often independent of other, more relevant factors affecting our results of operations and our industry. Free cash flow is used as a measure to assess overall liquidity and does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt.
Although we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, they have limitations as analytical tools and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. You should not consider the non-GAAP measures in this report in isolation, or as substitutes for or alternatives to, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of unusual or infrequent items or other adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will not be affected by unusual or infrequent items or other items similar to such adjustments. Our management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results in addition to using the non-GAAP measures.
Enterprise Summary
The following table includes key GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated enterprise. Adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP measures are made at the enterprise level, with the exception of fuel surcharge revenues, which are not included in segment revenues. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Enterprise Results Summary
Enterprise net income increased $0.7 million, approximately 2%, in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024, due to a $4.0 million increase in income from operations and a decrease in our provision for income taxes of $0.3 million, partially offset by a $3.6 million increase in other expenses driven by increased interest expense.
Adjusted net income increased $1.1 million, approximately 3%, for the same reasons discussed above.
Components of Enterprise Net Income
Enterprise Revenues
Enterprise operating revenues increased $103.8 million, approximately 8%, in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024.
Factors contributing to the increase included:
•an $81.9 million increase in Truckload segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) due to Dedicated volume growth driven by the Cowan acquisition and increased Dedicated and Network rates, partially offset by decreased Network volume;
•a $20.8 million increase in Logistics segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) resulting from the Cowan acquisition, partially offset by lower volume (excluding Cowan) and revenue per order within brokerage;
•and a $12.0 million increase in Intermodal revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) due to an increase in volume.
Increases were partially offset by:
•a $10.3 million decrease in fuel surcharge revenues related to lower fuel prices in 2025.
Enterprise revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $114.1 million, for the same reasons discussed above, excluding fuel surcharge.
Enterprise Income from Operations and Operating Ratio
Enterprise income from operations increased $4.0 million, approximately 8%, in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024. Increased volume in Dedicated (inclusive of the impacts from the Cowan acquisition) and Intermodal contributed to the change. These were partially offset by increased salaries and wages, depreciation, other equipment related costs (all largely driven by the Cowan acquisition), and decreased volume within Network and Logistics (excluding Cowan).
Adjusted income from operations increased $4.5 million, approximately 9%.
Enterprise operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenues) remained flat on both a GAAP and adjusted basis when compared to the second quarter of 2024, for the same reasons listed above.
Enterprise Operating Expenses
Key operating expense fluctuations are described below.
•Purchased transportation decreased $1.2 million, quarter over quarter, resulting from decreased rail related costs and lower third-party transportation costs, partially offset by increased owner-operator costs due to higher costs per mile due to freight mix.
•Salaries, wages, and benefits increased $47.0 million, or 13%, quarter over quarter. Truckload driver pay and office wages and total benefits increased due to expanded headcount (due to the Cowan acquisition).
•Fuel and fuel taxes for company trucks increased $3.3 million, or 3%, quarter over quarter, driven by the Cowan acquisition, offset by a lower cost per gallon. A significant portion of fuel costs are recovered through our fuel surcharge programs.
•Depreciation and amortization increased $9.8 million, or 10%, quarter over quarter, mainly due to additional depreciation expense incurred as a result of tractor and trailer growth within Dedicated (from the Cowan acquisition).
•Operating supplies and expenses—net increased $23.3 million, or 15%, quarter over quarter, largely resulting from increased equipment related expenses (due to the Cowan acquisition).
•Insurance and related expenses increased $9.3 million, or 28%, quarter over quarter, driven by increased premiums (due to the Cowan acquisition) and claims development.
•Other general expenses increased $8.3 million, or 31%, quarter over quarter, primarily related to higher driver onboarding costs (primarily within Truckload), along with an increase in bad debt expense due to a return to normalized level after a decline in 2024.
Total Other Expenses
Total other expenses increased $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024 mainly due to an increase in interest expense, partially offset by increased interest income.
Income Tax Expense
Our provision for income taxes decreased $0.3 million, or 3%, in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024, primarily due to a lower effective income tax rate, partially offset by higher taxable income. The effective income tax rate was 24.1% and 25.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our provision for income taxes may fluctuate in future periods to the extent tax laws and regulations change.

Truckload revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $157.5 million, or 15%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Dedicated volume increased 24% primarily due to the Cowan acquisition, rate and productivity improvements in both Dedicated and Network, partially offset by a decrease in Network volume of 9%.
Truckload income from operations increased $19.6 million, approximately 43%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Factors contributing to the increase include the revenue impacts listed above, partially offset by an increase in insurance related expenses attributable to the Cowan acquisition and claims development.

Intermodal income from operations increased $8.3 million, approximately 38%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 mainly resulting from the revenue increases listed above, partially offset by increased maintenance costs.
Logistics
The following table presents the KPI for our Logistics segment for the periods indicated. Cowan Systems’ logistics operations are included in Logistics beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2025 | | 2024 |
Operating ratio (1) | | 97.6 | % | | 97.4 | % |
(1)Calculated as segment operating expenses divided by segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) including revenue in transit and related expenses at the operating segment level.
Logistics revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $27.9 million, approximately 4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This was mainly the result of the Cowan acquisition, partially offset by decreases in both volume and revenue per order within our brokerage business.
Logistics income from operations decreased $0.6 million, approximately 4%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an increase in salaries and wages from an increase in headcount largely due to the Cowan acquisition, partially offset by the revenue impacts listed above and an increase in net revenue per order.
Other
Other income from operations decreased $9.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Changes consisted of inflationary cost pressures combined with decreased income from our other service offerings.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary uses of cash are working capital requirements, capital expenditures, lease equipment, dividend payments, share repurchases, and debt service requirements. Additionally, we may use cash for acquisitions and other investing and financing activities. Working capital is required principally to ensure we are able to run the business and have sufficient funds to satisfy maturing short-term debt and operational expenses. Our capital expenditures consist primarily of transportation equipment and information technology.
Historically, our primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operations. In addition, we have a $250.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in November 2027 and a $200.0 million receivables purchase agreement maturing in May 2027, for which our combined available capacity as of June 30, 2025 was $283.6 million. Our revolving credit facility also allows us to request an additional increase in total commitment by up to $150.0 million. We anticipate that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet our requirements for the foreseeable future. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that we will obtain these funds through additional borrowings, equity offerings, or a combination of these potential sources of liquidity. Our ability to fund future operating expenses and capital expenditures, as well as our ability to meet future debt service obligations or refinance our indebtedness, will depend on our future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial, and other factors beyond our control.
As of June 30, 2025 cash and cash equivalents increased $43.1 million when compared to December 31, 2024. Changes in debt for the same period include an additional $100.0 million draw on our delayed-draw term loan facility, partially offset by a $95.0 million payment on an unsecured senior note.
Debt
As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our credit agreements and the agreements governing our senior notes. See Note 7, Debt and Credit Facilities, for information about our financing arrangements.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes the changes to our net cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the periods indicated.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, |
(in millions) | | 2025 | | 2024 |

Net cash used in financing activities | | (44.1) | | | (101.3) | |
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $13.0 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. An increase in cash used by working capital was partially offset by an increase in net income adjusted for various noncash items. Working capital changes included increases in cash used by receivables which corresponds to the increase in operating revenues, as well as claims settlements. These amounts were partially offset by decreases in cash used for payables and other assets.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $1.9 million, approximately 1%, in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in cash used was primarily related to decreased proceeds from sale of off-lease inventory and increased purchases of lease equipment and notes receivable funding, partially offset by a decrease in net capital expenditures.
Net Capital Expenditures
The following table sets forth our net capital expenditures for the periods indicated. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, |
(in millions) | | 2025 | | 2024 |
Purchases of transportation equipment | | $ | 183.5 | | | $ | 220.4 | |
Purchases of other property and equipment | | 14.9 | | | 19.4 | |
Proceeds from sale of property and equipment | | (48.8) | | | (58.2) | |
Net capital expenditures | | $ | 149.6 | | | $ | 181.6 | |
Net capital expenditures decreased $32.0 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was driven by a $36.9 million decrease in purchases of transportation equipment and a decrease in other property and equipment spend.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities decreased $57.2 million, approximately 56%, in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $35.0 million decrease in repayments in excess of proceeds on revolving credit arrangements, a $17.5 million decrease in repurchases of common stock, and a $5.0 million increase in debt proceeds in excess of repayments.
Other Considerations that Could Affect Our Results, Liquidity, or Capital Resources
Factors that Could Result in a Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually using the discounted cash flow, guideline public company, and guideline transaction methods, as applicable, to calculate the fair values of our reporting units. Key inputs used in the discounted cash flow approach include growth rates for sales and operating profit, perpetuity growth assumptions, and discount rates. Key inputs used in the guideline public company and guideline transaction methods include EBITDA valuation multiples of comparable companies and transactions. If interest rates rise or EBITDA valuation multiples of comparable companies and transactions decline, the calculated fair values of our reporting units will decrease, which could impact the results of our goodwill impairment tests.
We will perform our annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment as of October 31, 2025, with such analysis expected to be finalized during the fourth quarter. As part of our annual process of updating our goodwill impairment evaluation, we will assess the impact of current operating results and our resulting management actions to determine whether they have an impact on the long-term valuation of reporting units and the related recoverability of our goodwill.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
