Insights
XPO posted broad-based Q1 2026 profit growth, driven mainly by its North American LTL segment.
XPO delivered Q1 2026 revenue of $2.10 billion, up 7.3%, while net income increased to $101 million from $69 million. Diluted EPS grew to $0.85, and adjusted diluted EPS reached $1.01 versus $0.73, reflecting meaningful operating leverage.
In North American LTL, operating income rose to $189 million, and adjusted operating income to $198 million, with adjusted operating ratio improving to 83.9%. Segment adjusted EBITDA climbed to $290 million, supported by yield growth, higher fuel surcharge revenue and productivity gains, partially offset by wage inflation and fuel costs.
Cash generation was solid: operating cash flow of $183 million in Q1 2026 funded $104 million of net capital expenditures, $30 million of share repurchases and $30 million of term loan repayment. Subsequent filings may provide more color on how management balances continued network investment with debt reduction and buybacks over future periods.

Mario Harik, chairman and chief executive officer of XPO, said, “We reported a strong start to 2026, with 38% growth in adjusted diluted EPS and 15% growth in adjusted EBITDA, year-over-year. These results mark an acceleration in our performance and the momentum we’re building across the business.
“In North American LTL, we increased adjusted operating income by 20% year-over-year and improved our adjusted operating ratio by 200 basis points to 83.9%, significantly outperforming seasonality. This was supported by profitable market share gains and above-market pricing growth earned through continuous service improvements. We reduced our damage claims ratio to less than 0.2%, with damages at a record low. And we surpassed our productivity targets by leveraging AI to operate our network more efficiently.”
Harik concluded, “We’re continuing to deliver robust incremental margins and industry-leading operating ratio improvement, with the greatest upside still ahead. We have a clear path to compounding earnings growth and accelerating free cash flow generation, with returns amplified as freight demand recovers."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP, which are set forth in the financial tables attached to this press release.
XPO’s non-GAAP financial measures in this press release include: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) on a consolidated basis and for corporate; adjusted EBITDA margin on a consolidated basis; adjusted net income; adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted diluted EPS”); adjusted operating income for our North American Less-Than-Truckload and European Transportation segments; and adjusted operating ratio for our North American Less-Than-Truckload segment.
We believe that the above adjusted financial measures facilitate analysis of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be reflective of, or are unrelated to, XPO and its business segments’ core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying businesses. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should only be used as supplemental measures of our operating performance.
3
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio include adjustments for transaction and integration costs, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments as set forth in the attached tables. Transaction and integration adjustments are generally incremental costs that result from an actual or planned acquisition, divestiture or spin-off and may include transaction costs, consulting fees, stock-based compensation, retention awards, internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities) and certain costs related to integrating and converging IT systems. Restructuring costs primarily relate to severance costs associated with business optimization initiatives. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating XPO’s and each business segment’s ongoing performance.
We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin improve comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest and financing expenses), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax impacts and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables that management has determined are not reflective of core operating activities and thereby assist investors with assessing trends in our underlying businesses. We believe that adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the impact of certain costs and gains that management has determined are not reflective of our core operating activities, including amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, transaction and integration costs, restructuring costs and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables. We believe that adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the impact of certain transaction and integration costs and restructuring costs, as well as amortization expense and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables.
