Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 9, 2026
- During economic downturns, reductions in overall demand for transportation services will likely reduce demand for our services and exert downward pressure on our rates and margins.
- The Company expects such actions, if consummated, to support portfolio optimization, enhance liquidity, reduce leverage, and strengthen its balance sheet.
- The Company does not intend to disclose developments relating to these initiatives until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.
- The Company does not expect the transition to materially impact its revenue in 2026.
- The Company currently expects annual revenue generated from the Customer during each contract year of 2026, 2027 and 2028 to exceed the Customer's total revenue contribution in 2025.
- We remain focused on delivering industry leading solutions and services to all of our global customer base and believe that continued execution of our strategy will allow us to regain market share over time.
- During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded a $244.0 million goodwill impairment charge as a result of the anticipated decrease in future revenues from the Customer, together with a sustained decrease in our stock price.
- We believe that availability of borrowings under our Credit Agreement together with available cash and internally generated funds will be sufficient to support our working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements over the next twelve months.
- The Company expects to maintain compliance with the leverage ratio during the next twelve months.
