| Non-GAAP financial measures Asrequired by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this document to the most directly comparable measures under GAAP, which are set forth in the financialtables attachedto this document. This document contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) on a consolidated basis; adjusted net income; adjusted diluted earnings per share ("adjustedEPS"); adjusted operating income for ourNorth American Less-Than-Truckloadsegment; adjusted operating ratio for ourNorth American Less-Than-Truckload segment; and adjustedeffective tax rate. 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 trendsin our underlying businesses. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore our measures may not be comparable to similarly titledmeasures of other companies. These non-GAAPfinancialmeasuresshould only be used assupplementalmeasures of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio include adjustmentsfor transaction and integration costs, as well asrestructuring costs, and other adjustments asset forth in the attached tables. Transaction and integration adjustments are generally incremental coststhat result from an actual or planned acquisition, divestiture orspin-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 costsrelated 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 improves 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 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 asset out in the attached tables. We believe that adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio improve the comparability of our operating resultsfrom period to period by removing the impact of certain transaction and integration costs and restructuring costs, as well as amortization expense and other adjustments asset out in the attached tables.We believe that adjustedeffective tax rate improves comparabilityof our effective tax rate, by excluding the tax effect ofspecial items. With respect to ourtargetsfor: (i)the North American less-than-truckload segment’s adjusted EBITDA CAGR and adjusted operating ratio forthe six-year period 2021 through 2027 and (ii) the 2026 adjusted effective tax rate, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort due to the variability and complexity of the reconciling items described above that we exclude from these non-GAAP target measures. The variability of these items may have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results and, as a result, we are unable to prepare the forward-looking statement of income and statement of cash flowsin accordance with GAAP that would be required to produce such a reconciliation. 25 |
