Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2026
- Historically, our operating results have been subject to seasonal demand trends with the first quarter being the weakest and the third and fourth quarters being the strongest; however, there is no assurance that this seasonal trend will occur in the future or to what degree it will be impacted by an uncertain economy.
- To the extent that a shortfall in revenues or earnings was not expected by securities analysts or investors, any such shortfall from levels predicted by securities analysts or investors could have an immediate and adverse effect on the trading price of our stock.
- We cannot accurately forecast many of these factors, nor can we estimate accurately the relative influence of any particular factor and, as a result, there can be no assurance that historical patterns will continue in future periods.
- Our tax rates depend on current tax laws, which could change through new legislative action, as well as additional interpretations and guidance issued by tax authorities.
- Because fuel is an integral part of carriers' costs and impacts both our buy rates and sell rates, we expect our revenues and costs to be impacted as carriers adjust rates for the effect of changing fuel prices.
- Given the short time frame until we are reimbursed, we do not expect these outlays to have a significant effect on our liquidity.
- Our business historically has been subject to seasonal fluctuations, and this is expected to continue in the future.
- We also regularly have contractual obligations for specific projects related to improvements of our owned or leased facilities and information technology infrastructure.
