Executive summary
Achieved record Q2 2025 freight revenue of $276.5M, up 7.8% year-over-year, driven by dedicated fleet growth, managed freight, and a small acquisition, despite a competitive environment.

Repurchased 1.6M shares for $35.2M, reducing share count and increasing leverage; $13.8M remains under the $50M authorization.
Minority investment in TEL contributed $4.3M pre-tax net income, in line with prior year.
Margins remained compressed due to inflationary costs, high claims expense, and fuel price increases.

Total revenue rose to $302.9M, up 5.3% year-over-year; freight revenue up 7.8% to $276.5M.
Adjusted operating income declined 19.6% to $15M; operating income was $11.6M, down from $15.6M.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months was $46.7M, up from $44.1M year-over-year.
Outlook and guidance
Management expects gradual improvement in general freight market fundamentals, though progress is uneven due to inventory, policy, and supply chain fluctuations.
Managed Freight segment revenue is expected to decline in H2 2025 due to the loss of a key customer in July 2025.
Focus remains on organic growth in Dedicated contracts, margin improvement, and evaluating acquisition opportunities.
Expects net capital equipment expenditures of $50M–$60M for the remainder of the year.
If the general freight market does not improve, mix change and seasonality are still expected to generate better results in H2 2025.
