Generates 48% organic revenue growth company-wide

Reaffirms year-end target run rates for $3 billion of revenue and $150 million of EBITDA

Adds freight brokerage cold-start in Denver

GREENWICH, Conn. - November 5, 2014 - XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2014. Total gross revenue increased 241.5% year-over-year to $662.5 million, and net revenue increased 402.7% to $175.1 million.

The company reported a net loss of $11.7 million for the quarter, compared with a net loss of $6.0 million for the same period in 2013. The net loss available to common shareholders was $12.4 million, or a loss of $0.23 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $6.8 million, or a loss of $0.28 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013.

On an adjusted basis, the net loss available to common shareholders, a non-GAAP measure, was $7.3 million, or a loss of $0.13 per share for the quarter, excluding the items detailed below. This compares to an adjusted net loss available to common shareholders of $10.9 million, or a loss of $0.45 per share, in the third quarter of 2013.

Adjusted net loss excludes a debt commitment fee of $9.8 million, or $6.1 million after-tax, related to the acquisition of New Breed, which closed on September 2, 2014; $10.0 million, or $7.1 million after-tax, of transaction and integration costs primarily related to the acquisitions of New Breed, Pacer and ACL; $846,000, or $524,000 after-tax, of charges related to the rebranding of the company's ground expedited and last mile businesses to XPO Express and XPO Last Mile, respectively; and a $8.6 million tax benefit related to the release of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. Reconciliations of adjusted net loss to common shareholders and adjusted EPS are provided in the attached financial tables.

Adjusted earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure, improved to a gain of $24.2 million for the quarter, compared with a loss of $7.1 million for the same period in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA excludes $10.0 million of transaction and integration costs primarily related to the acquisitions of New Breed, Pacer and ACL, as well as $846,000 of rebranding costs; and includes 29 days of New Breed results, as well as $1.8 million of non-cash share-based compensation. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income is provided in the attached financial table.

The company had approximately $690 million of cash, including $10 million of restricted cash, as of September 30, 2014.

Reaffirms Full Year 2014 Financial Outlook

The company has reaffirmed its full year 2014 outlook for an annual revenue run rate of more than $3 billion by December 31, and an annual EBITDA run rate of at least $150 million by December 31.

CEO Comments

Bradley Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of XPO Logistics, said, "The third quarter was transformational for us on many fronts. We raised $1.2 billion of capital to fund our growth. We generated a net revenue increase of more than 400%, reflecting the benefit of acquisitions and 48% organic growth. And we turned in our strongest adjusted EBITDA performance to date - $24 million - which reflects less than a month of owning New Breed, our largest acquisition so far. We delivered 58% organic growth in our freight brokerage business, and more than doubled the revenue run rate of our brokerage cold-starts in 12 months to $250 million. Most important, our entire organization is gelling into one integrated operation with a single-minded focus on customer service.

"All of our acquisitions are on track and thriving. In September, we gained critical mass when we acquired New Breed. Our contract logistics business is off to a great start, ahead of plan in its first month out of the gate. In July, we acquired ACL, which recently had a big e-commerce customer win as part of XPO Last Mile. And in intermodal, our team is doing a very good job of meeting shipper requirements in a congested rail market. We've made significant gains in intermodal customer satisfaction and proprietary IT development, including our new Rail Optimizer system currently in beta test."

Jacobs continued, "We've built a range of technology-based supply chain services that has grabbed the attention of shippers in North America. And we're currently in discussions with a number of attractive acquisition prospects in a very active pipeline. Our targets are primarily in our existing lines of business, including contract logistics, last mile and freight brokerage."

Third Quarter 2014 Results by Business Unit

  • Freight brokerage: The company's freight brokerage business generated total gross revenue of $518.7 million for the quarter, a 239.8% increase from the same period in 2013. Net revenue margin grew to 20.8%, from 18.1% in 2013, an improvement of 270 basis points. The year-over-year increases in revenue and margin were primarily due to the acquisitions of 3PD, Optima and Pacer, and 58% organic revenue growth. Organic revenue growth included cold-starts, which are on an annualized revenue run rate of approximately $250 million, compared with $120 million a year ago. Excluding the margin benefit of the last mile and intermodal operations, freight brokerage net revenue margin improved year-over-year. Third quarter operating income improved to a gain of $2.0 million, compared with a loss of $3.4 million a year ago.
  • Contract logistics: The company's contract logistics business generated net revenue of $50.1 million and operating income of $4.5 million. The New Breed acquisition was completed on September 2, 2014.
  • Expedited transportation: The company's expedited transportation business generated total gross revenue of $36.5 million for the quarter, a 45.4% increase from the same period in 2013. Net revenue margin grew to 30.2%, compared with 18.1% in 2013, an improvement of 1,210 basis points. The increase in net revenue margin is primarily attributable to the acquisition of NLM, which recognizes revenue on a net basis. Third quarter operating income increased to $2.9 million, from $1.7 million a year ago.
  • Freight forwarding: The company's freight forwarding business generated total gross revenue of $59.7 million for the quarter, a 212.2% increase from the same period in 2013. Net revenue margin was 10.5%, compared with 13.8% in 2013. The increase in total gross revenue and the decrease in net revenue margin were due in part to the consolidation of the former Pacer freight forwarding operations, which shifted the revenue mix toward higher-revenue, lower-margin international transactions. Third quarter operating loss was $20,000, compared with a loss of $2.6 million a year ago. 
  • Corporate: Corporate SG&A expense for the third quarter of 2014 was $23.0 million, compared with $14.2 million for the third quarter of 2013. Corporate SG&A for the third quarter of 2014 includes: $10.0 million, or $7.1 million after-tax, of transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions; $1.8 million, or $1.1 million after-tax, of non-cash share-based compensation; and $1.5 million, or $918,000 after-tax, of litigation costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules, such as adjusted net loss available to common shareholders, adjusted EPS, adjusted earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), in each case for the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. As required by SEC rules, we provide reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable measure under United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which are set forth in the attachments to this release. We believe that adjusted net loss available to common shareholders improves comparability from period to period by removing the impact of nonrecurring expense items, including items related to our rebranding of Express-1 to XPO Express and our acquisition of Pacer, which we completed on March 31, 2014, and our acquisitions of ACL and New Breed, which we completed during the third quarter. We believe that adjusted EBITDA improves comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax consequences and transaction and integration costs related to the acquisitions of New Breed, Pacer and ACL. In addition to its use by management, we believe that adjusted EBITDA is a measure widely used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the financial performance of companies in our industry. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, and therefore our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operating activities and other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant and necessary components of the operations of our business, and, therefore, adjusted EBITDA should only be used as a supplemental measure of our operating performance.

Forward-looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the company's full year 2014 financial targets and the receipt of tax incentives from the Kentucky Business Investment Program. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue," "could," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "should," "will," "expect," "objective," "projection," "forecast," "goal," "guidance," "outlook," "effort," "target" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.

These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to a material difference include those discussed in XPO's filings with the SEC and the following: economic conditions generally; competition; XPO's ability to find suitable acquisition candidates and execute its acquisition strategy; the expected impact of the acquisitions, including the expected impact on XPO's results of operations; the ability to realize anticipated synergies and cost savings with respect to acquired companies; XPO's ability to raise debt and equity capital; XPO's ability to attract and retain key employees to execute its growth strategy, including management teams; litigation, including litigation related to alleged misclassification of independent contractors; the ability to develop and implement a suitable information technology system; the ability to maintain positive relationships with XPO's networks of third-party transportation providers; the ability to retain XPO's and acquired companies' largest customers; XPO's ability to successfully integrate New Breed, ACL and other acquired businesses; rail and other network changes; weather and other service disruptions; and governmental regulation. All forward-looking statements set forth in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, XPO or its businesses or operations. Forward-looking statements set forth in this document speak only as of the date hereof, and XPO undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, changes in expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by law.

Note: For dilution purposes, GAAP requires diluted shares to be reflected on a weighted average basis, which takes into account the portion of the period in which the diluted shares were outstanding. The table above reflects the weighted average diluted shares for the periods presented. Due to the contingent stockholder approval necessary to convert the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock into common stock, the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock will not be included in the denominator used to calculate diluted earnings per common share until the contingency has been satisfied. The impact of this dilution was not reflected in the earnings per share calculations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations because the impact was anti-dilutive. The treasury method was used to determine the shares underlying the warrants to purchase common stock with an average closing market price of common stock of $31.57 per share and $22.31 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $28.96 per share and $18.81 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

For informational purposes, the following table represents fully diluted shares as of September 30, 2014, calculated on a non-weighted basis without giving effect to the portion of any period in which the diluted shares were outstanding. The Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock conversion into common stock has been included for informational purposes although conversion is contingent upon obtaining shareholder approval. The dilutive effect of the warrants, options and RSUs in the table was calculated using the closing market price of common stock on September 30, 2014. A non-weighted basis for calculating fully diluted shares is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined under SEC rules.
