Schneider National, Inc. (NYSE:SNDR, "Schneider" or the "Company")), a leading transportation and logistics services company, today announced results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

"In the second quarter, we delivered strong earnings improvement, driven by the combined impact of the disciplined revenue management, cost reduction, and productivity actions implemented over the past several years which enabled the enterprise to capitalize on improving market conditions," said Jim Filter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Schneider. "The positive impact of non-compliant capacity exiting the market has been realized more quickly than initially anticipated, and we remain confident that the enterprise will continue to deliver strong operating leverage."

"We are seeing the strongest pricing improvement in the parts of our business where the industry is most capacity constrained. Looking forward, we expect the success of recent allocation events will build momentum in price," Filter continued. "As the market shifts, our multimodal approach enables us to remain nimble while advancing our strategic priorities, including earning customer loyalty through consistent execution, growing profitably where we create differentiation, improving on our low-cost operating model, and maintaining disciplined capital allocation."

Results of Operations – Reportable Segments

Truckload

Truckload revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) for the second quarter of 2026 were $627.6 million, an increase of $5.4 million, or 1%, compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was driven by improved Network price and productivity, partially offset by lower Dedicated volume. Truckload revenue per truck per week was $4,162, up $198, or 5%, compared to the same quarter of 2025, reflecting improvements in both Network and Dedicated.

Truckload income from operations was $51.4 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $11.3 million, or 28%, compared to the same period in 2025. The improvement was driven by improved Network price and productivity, fuel surcharge recovery, equipment utilization, and higher gains on sales of equipment, partially offset by increased purchased transportation and maintenance costs. Truckload operating ratio was 91.8% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 93.6% in the second quarter of 2025, an improvement of 180 basis points.

Intermodal

Intermodal revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) for the second quarter of 2026 were $262.0 million, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 1%, compared to the same quarter in 2025. The decline was driven by a 2% decrease in revenue per order, reflecting shorter length of haul, partially offset by an increase in volume.

Intermodal income from operations for the second quarter of 2026 was $18.4 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 14%, compared to the same quarter in 2025. The increase was driven by fuel surcharge recovery, volume growth, and higher gains on sales of equipment. These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher purchased transportation. Intermodal operating ratio was 93.0% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 93.9% in the same quarter in 2025, an improvement of 90 basis points.

Logistics

Logistics revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) for the second quarter of 2026 were $376.1 million, an increase of $36.5 million, or 11%, compared to the same quarter in 2025, primarily due to higher revenue per order, partially offset by lower brokerage volume.

Logistics income from operations for the second quarter of 2026 was $12.1 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 53%, compared to the same quarter in 2025. The increase was driven by higher net revenue per order and cost actions, partially offset by higher purchased transportation expense and lower brokerage volume. Logistics operating ratio was 96.8% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 97.7% in the second quarter of 2025, an improvement of 90 basis points.

Business Outlook

(in millions, except per share data)	Current Guidance
Adjusted diluted earnings per share	$0.90 - $1.10
Net capital expenditures	$350 - $400

"Second quarter benefitted from an improved backdrop as the enterprise effectively executed on market opportunities. These results reinforce our confidence that the actions we have taken to lower our cost to serve and enhance productivity have prepared us to deliver meaningful year-over-year earnings growth," said Darrell Campbell, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Schneider. "We continue to expect capacity rationalization to support freight conditions. At the same time, our guidance incorporates a range of outcomes as it relates to demand and driver capacity for the second half of the year."

Campbell added, "Based on our second quarter results and these market expectations, our updated full year adjusted diluted earnings per share forecast is $0.90-$1.10, up from our prior guidance of $0.70-$1.00. Our guidance continues to assume a full year effective tax rate of approximately 24.0%. Our full year net capital expenditures are expected to be $350-400 million, compared to our previous expectations of $400-$450 million, primarily related to lower expenditures on trailing equipment."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures, including revenues (excluding fuel surcharge); adjusted income from operations; adjusted total operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge revenues; adjusted operating ratio; adjusted net income; adjusted EBITDA; free cash flow; and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Management believes the use of non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding the business, as further described below. The non-GAAP information provided is used by Company management and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. The non-GAAP measures used herein have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of results as reported under GAAP.

A reconciliation of net income per share to adjusted diluted earnings per share as projected for 2026 is not provided. Schneider does not forecast net income per share as the Company cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with certainty various components of net income. The components of net income that cannot be predicted include expenses for items that do not relate to core operating performance, such as costs related to potential future acquisitions, as well as the related tax impact of these items. Further, in the future, other items with similar characteristics to those currently included in adjusted net income, which have a similar impact on the comparability of periods, and which are not known at this time may exist and impact adjusted net income.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(unaudited)

In this earnings release, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), (2) adjusted income from operations, (3) adjusted operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge revenues, (4) adjusted operating ratio, (5) adjusted net income, (6) adjusted EBITDA, (7) free cash flow, and (8) adjusted diluted earnings per share. We also provide reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes the use of each of these non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding our business by (1) removing the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance, (2) providing investors with the same information our management uses internally to assess our core operating performance, and (3) presenting comparable financial results between periods. In addition, in the case of revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), we believe the measure is useful to investors because it isolates volume, price, and cost changes directly related to industry demand and the way we operate our business from the external factor of fluctuating fuel prices and the programs we have in place to manage such fluctuations. Fuel-related costs and their impact on our industry are important to our results of operations, but they are often independent of other, more relevant factors affecting our results of operations and our industry. Free cash flow is used as a measure to assess overall liquidity and does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt.

Although we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, they have limitations as analytical tools and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. You should not consider the non-GAAP measures in this report in isolation or as substitutes for, or alternatives to, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of unusual or infrequent items or other adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will not be affected by unusual or infrequent items or by other items similar to such adjustments. Our management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results in addition to using the non-GAAP measures.

Adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP measures are made at the enterprise level, with the exception of fuel surcharge revenues, which are not included in segment revenues.

Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge)

We define "revenues (excluding fuel surcharge)" as operating revenues less fuel surcharge revenues, which are excluded from revenues at the segment level. Included below is a reconciliation of operating revenues, the most closely comparable GAAP financial measure, to revenues (excluding fuel surcharge).

Adjusted income from operations

We define "adjusted income from operations" as income from operations adjusted to exclude certain items that do not reflect our core operating performance. A reconciliation of income from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted income from operations is provided below. The items excluded for the periods presented are described in the table and notes below.

(2)	Amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired through recent business acquisitions. Although intangible assets contribute to our revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to transportation services provided to our customers.

Adjusted operating ratio

We define "adjusted operating ratio" as total operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge revenues, divided by revenues (excluding fuel surcharge). A reconciliation of operating ratio, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted operating ratio is provided below.

Adjusted net income

We define "adjusted net income" as net income, adjusted to exclude certain items that do not reflect our core operating performance. A reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted net income is provided below.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

(1)

Our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP items is determined annually using the applicable consolidated federal and state effective tax rate, modified to remove the impact of tax credits and adjustments that are not applicable to the specific items. Due to the differences in the tax treatment of items excluded from non-GAAP income, as well as the methodology applied to our estimated annual tax rates as described above, our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP items may differ from our GAAP tax rate and from our actual tax liabilities.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define "adjusted EBITDA" as net income, adjusted to exclude net interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain items that do not reflect our core operating performance. A reconciliation of net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA is provided below.
