Grew Asset-Based revenue and improved Asset-Based profitability, with sequential margin expansion ahead of typical seasonality
Grew Asset-Light revenue and volumes while maintaining cost discipline and improving productivity
Advanced strategic priorities with the successful launch of ArcBest View™ and continued execution on operating efficiency initiatives

ArcBest^® (NASDAQ:ARCB), a leader in supply chain logistics, announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second quarter 2026 revenue totaled $1.2 billion, compared to $1.0 billion in the prior-year period. Net loss was $13.8 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, versus net income of $25.8 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $53.6 million, or $2.38 per diluted share, compared to $31.2 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, in the prior year. Non-GAAP results exclude the impairment and restructuring charges associated with the restructuring plan announced on July 16, 2026, as well as other items described in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables.

"Our second-quarter performance reflects disciplined execution, a more constructive operating environment and the value customers are gaining from our integrated logistics solutions," said Seth Runser, ArcBest President and CEO. "We grew revenue and improved operating performance while continuing to invest in capabilities that make complex supply chains easier to manage. The launch of ArcBest View™ marks an important step in that journey, and our continued progress on pricing, cost management, efficiency and productivity initiatives positions us to deliver sustainable, profitable growth."

Results of Operations Comparisons

Asset-Based

Second Quarter 2026 Versus Second Quarter 2025

Revenue of $783.7 million compared to $713.3 million, a per-day increase of 9.9 percent
Tonnage per day increase of 4.9 percent
Shipments per day decrease of 2.8 percent
Billed revenue per shipment increase of 12.5 percent
Billed revenue per hundredweight increase of 4.2 percent
Weight per shipment increase of 8.0 percent
Operating income of $74.3 million and an operating ratio of 90.5 percent, compared to $51.0 million and 92.8 percent
On a non-GAAP basis, operating income of $72.3 million and an operating ratio of 90.8 percent, compared to $51.0 million and 92.8 percent

Tonnage growth was driven by higher weight per shipment, reflecting a continued shift in freight profile, partially offset by fewer shipments per day. Revenue per shipment benefited from the heavier freight profile and a higher revenue per hundredweight, largely reflecting higher fuel surcharge revenue. Excluding fuel surcharge, revenue per hundredweight was flat.

Customer contract renewals and deferred pricing agreements averaged a 5.8 percent increase during the second quarter, and LTL industry pricing remains rational.

Operating expenses increased due to annual union wage adjustments, increased fuel prices and purchased transportation costs, and higher equipment depreciation.

On a sequential basis, second quarter daily revenue was up 17.8 percent compared to the first quarter. Tonnage per day increased 9.8 percent, driven by a 6.5 percent increase in weight per shipment and a 3.1 percent increase in daily shipments. Billed revenue per shipment increased 13.5 percent due to the heavier freight profile and a 6.5 percent increase in revenue per hundredweight, driven by higher fuel surcharge revenue and improved pricing. Excluding fuel surcharge, revenue per hundredweight improved by low single digits. The non-GAAP operating ratio decreased by 650 basis points, outperforming typical seasonality, due to higher fuel surcharge revenue, disciplined execution on pricing initiatives, and continued progress on cost optimization, network efficiency, and technology-driven productivity initiatives.

Asset-Light

Second Quarter 2026 Versus Second Quarter 2025

Revenue of $438.7 million compared to $341.9 million, a per-day increase of 28.3 percent
Shipments per day increase of 14.6 percent
Revenue per shipment increase of 12.0 percent
Purchased transportation expense was 86.5 percent of revenue compared to 84.4 percent
Operating loss of $31.3 million compared to operating income of $0.6 million
On a non-GAAP basis, operating income of $6.3 million compared to $1.1 million
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), as defined in the attached non-GAAP reconciliation tables, of $7.0 million compared to $2.5 million

Revenue increased primarily due to higher shipment volumes, led by Managed. Revenue per shipment also increased, reflecting higher fuel prices and a tightening capacity environment. Revenue growth, combined with disciplined cost management and productivity improvements, drove improved non-GAAP operating income compared to the prior year.

Compared sequentially to the first quarter, second quarter daily revenue increased 14.3 percent, reflecting a 14.4 percent increase in revenue per shipment and flat shipments per day. Revenue growth, cost management and productivity improvements resulted in improved non-GAAP operating income compared to the previous quarter.

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 financial measures and ratios utilized internally to assess core performance offer analysts, investors, and others insights into performance trends by excluding items from operating results that management believes do not reflect our core operating performance. Our calculations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies as other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently. 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 or a better measurement than operating income (loss), net income (loss) or earnings per share, as determined under GAAP, which are the most directly comparable measures for the periods presented.
