  • Generates $294 million of cash flow from operations and $183 million of free cash flow in the quarter

XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO) today announced financial results for the third quarter 2017. Revenue was $3.89 billion for the quarter, compared with $3.71 billion for the same period in 2016. Revenue increased year-over-year by $305.1 million, excluding third quarter 2016 revenue of $131.8 million from the North American truckload unit divested in October 2016. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $57.5 million for the quarter, or earnings of $0.44 per diluted share, compared with net income attributable to common shareholders of $13.8 million, or earnings of $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period in 2016.

Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $76.7 million for the quarter, compared with $49.8 million for the same period in 2016. Adjusted earnings per diluted share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $0.59 for the quarter, compared with $0.41 for the same period in 2016. Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted earnings per diluted share for the third quarter 2017 exclude: $14.2 million, or $10.6 million after-tax, of integration and rebranding costs; $9.6 million, or $7.4 million after-tax, of non-cash unrealized losses on foreign currency contracts; and a loss of $4.7 million, or $3.4 million net of tax, on debt extinguishment and conversions of convertible senior notes. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are provided in the attached financial tables.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure, improved to $369.6 million for the quarter, excluding $14.2 million of integration and rebranding costs. This compares with $352.7 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2016, which included the divested North American truckload unit.

For the third quarter 2017, the company generated $293.7 million of cash flow from operations and $183.2 million of free cash flow.

Reaffirms Financial Guidance

The company reaffirmed its full year targets for adjusted EBITDA of at least $1.365 billion in 2017 and at least $1.6 billion in 2018.

The company also reaffirmed its 2017-2018 cumulative free cash flow target of approximately $900 million, including at least $350 million of free cash flow generated in 2017.

CEO Comments  

Brad Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of XPO Logistics, said, "In the third quarter, we generated the highest revenue, net income and cash flow of any quarter in our history, and our $370 million of adjusted EBITDA beat expectations. We benefited from positive market dynamics, including e-commerce demand for contract logistics and last mile, growth in intermodal, and a brokerage market that is trending in our favor. Our diversification is yielding results." 

Jacobs continued, "We're executing major initiatives around pricing, utilization and sales productivity to capitalize on the large opportunities at hand. Our sales force has closed $2.1 billion of new business through September, up 49%, and our pipeline continues to exceed $3 billion globally. These levers, combined with our leading positions in key sectors, are fueling organic growth that continues to outpace the industry. We're exploring acquisition opportunities that will augment this momentum."

Third Quarter 2017 Results by Segment

  • Transportation: The company's transportation segment generated revenue of $2.47 billion in the quarter. This compares with $2.41 billion for the same period in 2016, which included $131.8 million of revenue from the North American truckload unit divested on October 27, 2016. Segment revenue was led by increases in North American freight brokerage, less-than-truckload and last mile, and European less-than-truckload. 

Operating income for the transportation segment increased to $145.2 million in the quarter, compared with $125.4 million for the same period in 2016. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $265.0 million. This compares with adjusted EBITDA of $253.3 million for the same period in 2016, which included the divested North American truckload unit. The increases in operating income and adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to an improvement in operating income in European transportation and North American last mile and freight brokerage. Within the North American less-than-truckload unit, the adjusted operating income ratio was 87.6%, compared with 87.4% for the same period in 2016.

  • Logistics: The company's logistics segment generated revenue of $1.46 billion for the quarter, compared with $1.35 billion for the same period in 2016. The increase in revenue was led by strong demand for contract logistics both in Europe and North America, partially offset by a decline in managed transportation revenue in North America. In Europe, contract logistics growth was led by e-commerce and cold chain contracts in the United Kingdom, Spain and the Netherlands. In North America, the largest gains came from the e-commerce and industrial sectors.

Operating income for the logistics segment increased to $77.4 million, compared with $75.3 million for the same period in 2016. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $135.0 million, compared with $125.7 million for the same period in 2016. The increases in operating income and adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to net revenue growth, partially offset by higher direct operating costs related to new contract startups that impacted North America.

  • Corporate: Corporate SG&A expense was $35.8 million for the quarter, compared with $31.9 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in corporate expense reflects a year-over-year increase in purchased services, including technology and recruiting.

Nine Months 2017 Financial Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the company reported total revenue of $11.19 billion, compared with $10.94 billion for the same period in 2016. Revenue increased year-over-year by $638.1 million, excluding nine-month 2016 revenue of $394.0 million from the North American truckload unit divested in October 2016. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $124.5 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2017, compared with $35.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the same period in 2016.

Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders was $189.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $92.6 million for the same period in 2016. Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $1.50 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $0.76 for the same period in 2016. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of 2017 exclude: $55.1 million, or $36.7 million after-tax, of integration and rebranding costs; $48.7 million, or $32.4 million after-tax, of non-cash unrealized losses on foreign currency contracts; and a loss of $14.1 million, or $9.4 million after-tax, on debt extinguishment and conversions of convertible senior notes.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2017 improved to $1.03 billion, excluding $55.1 million of integration and rebranding costs. This compares with $957.1 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2016, which included the divested North American truckload unit.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016, and September 30, 2017, on a consolidated basis and for our transportation and logistics segments; free cash flow for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2017; adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted earnings per share (basic and diluted) ("adjusted EPS") for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016, and September 30, 2017; net revenue for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2017 for our transportation and logistics segments; and adjusted operating income for our North American less-than-truckload business for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2017.

We believe that the above adjusted financial measures facilitate analysis of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be reflective of, or are unrelated to, XPO and its business segments' core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying businesses. In particular, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS include adjustments for acquisition costs and related integration, transformation and rebranding initiatives as well as other adjustments that management has determined are not reflective of its business segments' core operating activities. Transaction and integration adjustments are generally incremental costs that result from an acquisition and include transaction costs, restructuring costs, acquisition and integration consulting fees, internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities) and certain costs related to integrating and converging IT systems. Rebranding adjustments relate primarily to the rebranding of the XPO Logistics name on our truck fleet and buildings. These adjustments are consistent with how management views our businesses. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating XPO's and each business segment's ongoing performance.

We believe that free cash flow is an important measure of our ability to repay maturing debt or fund other uses of capital that we believe will enhance stockholder value. We believe that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA improve comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest and financing expenses), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax impacts and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables that management has determined are not reflective of normalized operating activities.

We believe that adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted EPS improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the impact of certain costs and gains that management has determined are not reflective of our core operating activities.  We believe that net revenue improves the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the cost of transportation and services, in particular the cost of fuel, incurred in the reporting period as set out in the attached tables. We believe that adjusted operating income for our North American less-than-truckload business improves the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the impact of certain transaction, integration and rebranding costs and amortization and depreciation expenses incurred in the reporting period as set out in the attached tables.

Other companies may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently, and therefore our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders, adjusted EPS, net revenue and adjusted operating income for our North American less-than-truckload business are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to revenue, net income, operating income for our North American less-than-truckload business, cash flows provided (used) by operating activities and other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Items excluded from EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are significant and necessary components of the operations of our business, and, therefore, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should only be used as a supplemental measure of our operating performance.

As required by SEC rules, we provide reconciliations of these historical measures to the most directly comparable measure under United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which are set forth in the financial tables attached to this document. With respect to our 2017 and 2018 financial targets of adjusted EBITDA and our 2017 and 2017-2018 cumulative targets for free cash flow, each of which is a non-GAAP measure, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort due to the variability and complexity of the reconciling items described below that we exclude from the non-GAAP target measure. The variability of these items may have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results and, as a result, we are unable to prepare the forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP that would be required to produce such a reconciliation.

The Company has evaluated the guidance in accordance with Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (C&DI) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission table to calculate the non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share. The table above includes the U.S. GAAP financial statement items that have been reconciled to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share. The adjusted performance metrics are based on the GAAP annual effective rate, excluding discrete items. A corresponding noncontrolling interest has been calculated for those reconciling items reported within the acquired Norbert Dentressangle SA legal entities.
