Old Dominion reports Q3 EPS $1.28, consensus $1.22

Reports Q3 revenue $1.41B, consensus $1.4B. Marty Freeman, president and CEO of Old Dominion (ODFL), commented, “Old Dominion’s third quarter financial results include decreases in both revenue and earnings per diluted share. The decrease in our third quarter revenue was primarily due to a 9.0% decrease in our LTL tons per day, which was partially offset by an increase in our LTL revenue per hundredweight. The decrease in our LTL tons per day reflects a 7.9% decrease in our LTL shipments per day and a 1.2% decrease in our LTL weight per shipment that is generally indicative of softness in the macroeconomic environment. LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 4.7% compared to the third quarter of 2024. Our focus on consistently improving our yields remains a key element of our long-term strategic plan and is supported by the ongoing value that our customers realize from our best-in-class service. Through the hard work and dedication of the OD Family of employees, we were pleased to once again provide our customers with 99% on-time service and a cargo claims ratio of 0.1% during the third quarter.”
