Reports fourth quarter growth in North American LTL year-over-year, including 26% increase in operating income and 20% increase in adjusted EBITDA
Achieves fourth quarter tonnage growth year-over-year in North American LTL
GREENWICH, Conn., Feb. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — XPO (NYSE: XPO) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter 2022. Revenue was $1.83 billion for the quarter, compared with $1.77 billion for the same period in 2021.
The company reported a net loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $36 million for the fourth quarter 2022, or a diluted loss from continuing operations per share of $0.31, compared with net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $47 million, or diluted earnings from continuing operations per share of $0.40, for the same period in 2021. The fourth quarter 2022 net loss includes three impacts primarily related to the RXO spin-off completed in November: i) a $64 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to European Transportation, which became a new segment of XPO, requiring goodwill to be evaluated on a disaggregated basis; ii) $42 million of transaction and integration costs; and iii) $35 million of restructuring charges.
Adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased to $113 million for the fourth quarter, compared with $74 million for the same period in 2021. Adjusted diluted earnings from continuing operations per share (“adjusted EPS”), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $0.98 for the fourth quarter, compared with $0.64 for the same period in 2021.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure, increased to $262 million for the fourth quarter, compared with $190 million for the same period in 2021.
For the fourth quarter 2022, the company generated $196 million of cash flow from operating activities and $107 million of free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure.
Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are provided in the attached financial tables.
CEO Comments
Mario Harik, chief executive officer of XPO, said, “In the fourth quarter, we reported solid revenue growth and strong year-over-year increases in adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and free cash flow. Our North American LTL business achieved a 26% increase in operating income and a 20% increase in adjusted EBITDA. We’re pleased that we delivered over $1 billion of LTL adjusted EBITDA for our shareholders in 2022, exceeding our target.
“Our growth plan for LTL is to invest in capacity ahead of demand and earn market share by providing best-in-class service. In the fourth quarter, we grew tonnage and shipment count year-over-year at a time when the industry saw these metrics decline. Yield came in at the low end of our outlook, reflecting a strategic change in channel mix that we believe will be a tailwind for both volume and yield as freight demand improves. In January, our tonnage was up year-over-year and trended better than typical seasonality.”
Harik continued, “We’re excited by the strong trajectory we’ve created, and the tangible ways we’re strengthening our positioning. In LTL, our employee satisfaction was up sharply to the highest rating in more than a decade. In Europe, the business is continuing to perform above expectations. We’re confident that we’ll achieve our long-term LTL outlook and deliver superior shareholder value."

- North American Less-Than-Truckload (LTL): The segment generated revenue of $1.09 billion for the fourth quarter 2022, compared with $1.01 billion for the same period in 2021. Yield, excluding fuel, increased by 1.4% year-over-year, reflecting a strategic change in channel mix; and tonnage increased by 0.9%, driven by a 1.5% increase in shipment count.
Operating income for the segment was $172 million for the fourth quarter 2022, compared with $137 million for the same period in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2022 was $252 million, compared with $210 million for the same period in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA reflects a $55 million gain on the sale of real estate in the fourth quarter 2022, compared with a $35 million gain for the same period in 2021. Excluding real estate sales in both periods, LTL adjusted EBITDA grew year-over-year by 13%.
The fourth quarter 2022 operating ratio for North American LTL was 84.2%. Excluding real estate sales, the adjusted operating ratio improved by 60 basis points to 87.1%.
- European Transportation: Revenue for the segment was $738 million for the fourth quarter 2022, compared with $766 million for the same period in 2021. The year-over-year decrease in revenue was due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange. In constant currency, revenue in the quarter increased year-over-year by 9%.
Fourth quarter 2022 operating loss for the segment was $60 million, compared with an operating loss of $3 million for the same period in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was $39 million for the fourth quarters in both 2022 and 2021. The fourth quarter operating loss includes a $64 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to a change in the company’s segment structure following the RXO spin-off. Prior to the spin-off, the European transportation business was a single reporting unit and goodwill was evaluated for impairment at that level. Following the spin-off, the European transportation business is comprised of four reporting units and impairment testing is required to be performed on a disaggregated basis for each of the new reporting units.
- Corporate: Corporate expense was $108 million for the fourth quarter 2022, compared with $68 million for the same period in 2021. Corporate adjusted EBITDA was an expense of $29 million for the fourth quarter 2022, compared with an expense of $59 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in corporate adjusted EBITDA expense was due primarily to a $32 million reduction in SG&A expense as the company continued to rationalize overhead following the RXO spin-off.

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 and intersegment eliminations; adjusted EBITDA margin on a consolidated basis; adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders and adjusted diluted earnings from continuing operations per share (“adjusted EPS”); free cash flows; adjusted operating income (including and excluding gains on real estate transactions) for our North American less-than-truckload segment; adjusted operating ratio (including and excluding gains on real estate transactions) for our North American less-than-truckload segment; adjusted EBITDA excluding gains on real estate transactions for our North American less-than-truckload segment; and constant currency revenue growth for our European Transportation 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.
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders and adjusted EPS 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, and 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 free cash flow is an important measure of our ability to repay maturing debt or fund other uses of capital that we believe will enhance stockholder value. We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, less payment for purchases of property and equipment plus proceeds from sale of property and equipment. 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), goodwill impairment charge, 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 from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders 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 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 (i) removing the impact of certain transaction and integration costs and restructuring costs, as well as amortization expenses and (ii) including the impact of pension income incurred in the reporting period as set out in the attached tables. We believe that constant currency revenue growth improves the comparability of our revenue from period to period by adding foreign exchange rates to our reported revenue.
