Reports Q4 revenue $1B, consensus $996.36M. Drew Wilkerson, CEO of RXO, said, “RXO continued to execute well in the fourth quarter despite the prolonged soft freight environment. For the third consecutive quarter, our brokerage business delivered double-digit volume growth with strong gross margin. Our managed transportation business secured several new managed expedite customers, solidifying our position as a leading provider of this service. Our focus on profitable growth and cost discipline enabled us to expand companywide gross margin sequentially. “I’m proud of all that we achieved in 2023, our first full year as a standalone company. We responded quickly to our customers’ needs and changing market conditions; as a result, our customers awarded us more freight,” Wilkerson said. “In 2024, we will remain focused on our playbook – taking profitable market share while making strategic investments in our business. Given the current market conditions, we continue to reduce costs, which, combined with our strong brokerage sales pipeline, will position RXO to deliver rapid earnings growth when the market inflects.”
