Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2026

• In July 2026, the Company announced a restructuring plan to realign our operating structure, reduce costs and simplify brand architecture, create a more seamless customer experience, and position the Company for long-term growth and profitability.
• The joint union-management Change of Operations Committee approved the consolidations pursuant to the 2023 ABF NMFA, and the closures are expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2026.
• The Company evaluated the remaining restructuring actions for impairment and does not currently expect additional material impairment charges related to the restructuring plan.
• As of September 2026, approximately 82% of our Asset-Based segment’s employees were covered under the 2023 ABF NMFA and other related supplemental agreements with the IBT, which will remain in effect through June 30, 2028.
• We expect these and other strategic initiatives to support future growth as we deliver innovative solutions to our customers.
• There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure prices from customers sufficient to maintain or improve margins on the cost of sourcing carrier capacity.
• The Company paid $7.5 million upon execution of the agreement and expects to recognize a gain of approximately $12.0 million related to the lease modification during the fourth quarter of 2026.
• on deferred pricing agreements and annually negotiated contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, there can be no assurance that the economic environment, including the impact of interest rates on consumer demand, or fluctuations in fuel costs, will be favorable for our freight services in future periods.
• The prices for our revenue equipment (tractors and trailers) have also increased, partly as a result of inflationary pressures, and we expect replacement equipment to be purchased at higher per-unit costs, which could result in higher depreciation charges on a per-unit basis.
• Based on currently available information and amounts recorded, these routine legal matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
• As of September 30, 2026, the amount of our purchase obligations increased $61.9 million from December 31, 2025, primarily related to expected purchases of ABF Freight revenue equipment.
• We expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
