ArcBest Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results

  • Asset-Based shipment and tonnage growth despite soft freight environment
  • Over $47 million returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends in first half of 2025

ArcBest® (Nasdaq: ARCB), a leader in supply chain logistics, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Second quarter 2025 revenue totaled $1.0 billion, compared to $1.1 billion in the prior-year period. Net income from continuing operations was $25.8 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, versus $46.9 million, or $1.96 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $31.2 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, compared to $47.4 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, in the prior year.

“Despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges, I commend our team for their continued commitment to meeting customer needs and achieving solid results,” said Judy R. McReynolds, ArcBest Chairman and CEO. “In today’s rapidly evolving environment, our customers are seeking flexible, forward-thinking solutions. Thanks to the deep expertise across our organization and our integrated offerings, we’re well-positioned to meet those needs with a high level of service.”

Seth Runser, ArcBest CEO-elect and President added, “We’re executing with discipline and agility across our network, leveraging our integrated capabilities to deliver value in every market. As we continue optimizing operations and deepening customer relationships, we’re building momentum for long-term growth.”

Results of Operations Comparisons

Asset-Based

Second Quarter 2025 Versus Second Quarter 2024

  • Revenue of $713.3 million compared to $712.7 million, a per-day increase of 0.9 percent
  • Total tonnage per day increase of 4.3 percent
  • Total shipments per day increase of 5.6 percent
  • Total billed revenue per hundredweight decrease of 3.1 percent
  • Operating income of $51.0 million and an operating ratio of 92.8 percent, compared to $72.8 million and an operating ratio of 89.8 percent

Tonnage growth was driven by a 5.6 percent increase in daily shipments, primarily from newly onboarded core LTL customers. This was partially offset by a 1.2 percent decline in total weight per shipment. While new shipments were generally heavier, ongoing weakness in the manufacturing sector continues to pressure weight per shipment metrics and profitability.

To support shipment growth, we proactively expanded our labor force and strategically utilized purchased transportation and local cartage to enhance network capacity during peak vacation season. Although higher labor and purchased transportation costs impacted expenses, productivity improvements helped onboard new business efficiently while maintaining premium service standards. As a result, cost per shipment improved year-over-year and sequentially.

Customer contract renewals and deferred pricing agreements averaged a 4 percent increase during the quarter. Revenue per hundredweight decreased by 3.1 percent in the second quarter, compared to the second quarter of 2024. Price improvements were offset by lower fuel surcharge revenue and a shift in freight profile. Excluding fuel surcharges, revenue per hundredweight declined in the low-single digits year-over-year. A 5.9 percent general rate increase, announced July 14, will take effect August 4. Overall, LTL industry pricing remains rational.

Compared sequentially to the first quarter of 2025, second quarter 2025 revenue per day increased 9.5 percent. Shipments per day increased 8.0 percent and weight per shipment increased 3.2 percent, resulting in an 11.5 percent increase in tonnage per day. Revenue per shipment increased 1.4 percent, while billed revenue per hundredweight declined 1.7 percent, reflecting the impact of a higher proportion of heavier-weight shipments added during the second quarter and lower fuel surcharges. Excluding fuel surcharges, revenue per hundredweight decreased less than one percent. The sequential operating ratio improved by 310 basis points, consistent with the historical seasonal range of 300–400 basis points.

Asset-Light

Second Quarter 2025 Versus Second Quarter 2024

  • Revenue of $341.9 million compared to $395.8 million, a per-day decrease of 12.9 percent
  • Operating income of $0.6 million compared to operating loss of $9.5 million
  • On a non-GAAP basis, operating income of $1.1 million compared to operating loss of $2.5 million
  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), as defined in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables, of $2.5 million compared to negative $0.6 million

Revenue declines were primarily due to lower revenue per shipment in a soft rate environment and a higher mix of managed transportation business, which typically involves smaller, lower-revenue shipments. A 6.5 percent decline in shipments per day reflected a strategic reduction in less profitable truckload volumes, partially offset by continued growth in managed solutions.

Despite revenue declines, the Asset-Light segment delivered its first quarter of non-GAAP operating income since the second quarter of 2023, supported by improved margins, disciplined cost control, and productivity gains.

Compared sequentially to first quarter of 2025, second quarter 2025 daily revenue was down 4.7 percent, as shipments per day decreased 4.3 percent, and revenue per shipment was down 0.5 percent. However, margin expansion and disciplined cost management contributed to an improvement in operating results.

________________________

1)

Includes amortization of intangibles associated with acquired businesses.

2)

Represents the change in fair value of the contingent earnout consideration recorded for the MoLo acquisition. The liability for contingent consideration is remeasured at each quarterly reporting date, and any change in fair value as a result of the recurring assessments is recognized in operating income (loss). The Company reduced the contingent consideration for the MoLo acquisition to zero in second quarter 2025, reflecting the probability of no earnout payment based on projections of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for 2025.

3)

“Other and eliminations” includes corporate costs for certain unallocated shared service costs which are not attributable to any segment, additional investments to offer comprehensive transportation and logistics services across multiple operating segments, costs related to our customer pilot offering of Vaux, and other investments in ArcBest technology and innovations.

RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios utilized for internal analysis provide analysts, investors, and others the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance and provides meaningful comparisons between current and prior period results, as well as important information regarding performance trends. Accordingly, non-GAAP results are presented on a continuing operations basis, excluding the discontinued operations of FleetNet, which sold on February 28, 2023. The use of certain non-GAAP measures improves comparability in analyzing our performance because it removes the impact of items from operating results that, in management's opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently; therefore, our calculation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Certain information discussed in the scheduled conference call could be considered non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results. These financial measures should not be construed as better measurements than operating income, net income or earnings per share, as determined under GAAP.

RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES – Continued

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of performance and for business planning. The measure is particularly meaningful for analysis of operating performance because it excludes amortization of acquired intangibles and software of the Asset-Light segment, changes in the fair values of contingent consideration and equity investment, which are significant expenses or gains resulting from strategic decisions or other factors rather than core daily operations. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a primary component of the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement. The calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as presented below begins with net income from continuing operations, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The calculation of Asset-Light Adjusted EBITDA as presented below begins with operating income (loss), as other income (costs), income taxes, and net income from continuing operations are reported at the consolidated level and not included in the operating segment financial information evaluated by management to make operating decisions.
