Page 7 Table of Contents COVENANT LOGISTICS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Covenant Logistics Group, Inc., a Nevada holding company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. References in this report to "we," "us," "our," the "Company," and similar expressions refer to Covenant Logistics Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10 -Q and Article 10 of Regulation S- X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. In preparing finan cial statem ents, it is necessary for management to make assumptions and estimates affecting the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. These estimates and assumptions are developed based upon all information available. Actual results could differ from estimated amounts. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented, such adjustments being of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The December 31, 2025 , condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from our audited balance sheet as of that date. Our operating results are subject to seasonal trends when measured on a quarterly basis; therefore, operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 . These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2025 . Revenue Recognition Revenue, drivers' wages, and other direct operating expenses generated by our Expedited and Dedicated reportable segments are recognized proportionally as the transportation service is performed based on the percentage of miles completed as of the period end. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis at amounts charged to our customers because we control and are primarily responsible for the fulfillment of the promised service. Revenue includes transportation revenue, fuel surcharges, loading and unloading activities, equipment detention, and other accessorial services. Revenue generated by our Managed Freight reportable segment is recognized proportionally as the services are provided based on the percentage of completion method using the estimated time elapsed as of the period end. Revenue is recorded on a gross basis, without deducting third -party purchased transportation costs, as we act as a principal with substantial risks as primary obligor. Revenue for the Warehousing reportable segment is generally recognized as the service is performed, based upon a weekly rate. The Company’s contracts with customers generally have original expected durations less than one year. Accordingly, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not disclose information about remaining unsatisfied performance obligations. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for book purposes is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation of revenue equipment is our largest item of depreciation. We generally depreciate new tractors over five years to salvage values ranging from approximately 0 % to 35 % of their cost, depending on the reportable segment profile of the equipment. We generally depreciate new trailers over seven years for refrigerated trailers and ten years for dry van trailers to salvage values of approximately 20 % and 25 % of their cost, respectively. We annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is warranted, review the reasonableness of our estimates regarding useful lives and salvage values of our revenue equipment and other long-lived assets, based upon, among other things, our experience with similar assets, conditions in the used revenue equipment market, and prevailing industry practice. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting standards not yet adopted In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2025 - 06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which clarifies and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The amendments in the standard remove all previous references to project stages and clarify the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. The standard becomes effective for us on January 1, 2028, for annual and interim periods and may be adopted on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024 - 03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220 - 40 ): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses which was later clarified by ASU 2025 - 01. This guidance requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items in the notes to the financial statements. The guidance in this ASU is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The update may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. Accounting standards adopted In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025 - 05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. In developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, all entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. This guidance became effective for us for our annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2026, and related interim reporting periods. We made the election to adopt the practical expedient as of January 1, 2026. The adoption of this standard had an immaterial effect on our consolidated financial statements. Page 8 Table of Contents Note 2. Income Per Share Basic income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share reflects the dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in our earnings. Income per share is the same for both Class A and Class B shares. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the calculation of net income per share included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations: (in thousands except per share data) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Numerator: Net income $ 8,535 $ 9,840 $ 12,955 $ 16,403 Denominator: Denominator for basic income per share – weighted-average shares 25,215 26,041 25,149 26,295 Effect of dilutive securities: Equivalent shares issuable upon conversion of unvested restricted shares 123 111 126 122 Equivalent shares issuable upon conversion of unvested employee stock options 1,251 1,076 1,254 1,147 Denominator for diluted income per share adjusted weighted-average shares and assumed conversions 26,589 27,228 26,529 27,564 Basic income per share $ 0.34 $ 0.38 $ 0.52 $ 0.62 Diluted income per share $ 0.32 $ 0.36 $ 0.49 $ 0.60 There were no unvested shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 . There were no unvested employee stock options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 . For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, approximately 1,000 and no restricted stock shares of common stock, respectively, and no unvested employee stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. Page 9 Table of Contents Note 3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Accordingly, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements is determined using the market-standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed-cash payments and the discounted expected variable-cash receipts. The variable-cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. These analyses reflect the contractual terms of the swap, including the period to maturity, and use observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance of our counterparties using "significant unobservable inputs" such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default, which we have determined to be insignificant to the overall fair value of our interest rate swap agreements. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement is based on inputs that are not observable in the market and is estimated using a probability-weighted method. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability include the financial projections over the earn-out period, the volatility of the underlying financial metrics, and estimated discount rates. Significant increases or decreases to any of these inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower liability. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount settled, and the difference between the fair value estimate and amount settled will be recorded as a component of general supplies and expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the life insurance policies was determined by the underwriting insurance company’s valuation models and represents the guaranteed value we would receive upon surrender of these policies as of the reporting date. The life insurance policies are held in a rabbi trust maintained by the Company with the intent to fund its non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The assets of the rabbi trust remain subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors and, therefore, do not represent assets restricted from the Company’s use for purposes of fair value measurement. While the trustee is subject to customary administrative provisions that limit assignment of assets within the trust, such provisions do not restrict the Company's ability to access the cash surrender value of the policies and do not materially impact the determination of fair value or the exit price in an orderly transaction. Further, the insurance policies can be surrendered without penalties or charges imposed by the insurance carrier. A three -tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows: ● Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; ● Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and ● Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis (in thousands) June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 Input Level Interest rate swaps 1,003 826 2 Contingent consideration ( 9,000 ) ( 22,489 ) 3 Cash surrender value of life insurance policies 5,638 5,041 2 There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2026 or for the year ended December 31, 2025. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and current debt approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of long-term debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of our long-term debt, which primarily consists of equipment installment notes. The fair value of our equipment installment notes approximated the carrying value as of June 30, 2026 , as the weighted average interest rate on these notes approximates the market rate for similar debt. Borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) approximate fair value due to the variable interest rate on that facility. Contingent consideration arrangements require us to pay up to $ 30.0 million of additional consideration to Lew Thompson & Son Trucking, LLC's ("LTST's") former owners based on LTST's results during the first three calendar years following closing, up to $ 12.0 million of additional consideration to Sims Transport Services, LLC's ("Sims") former owners based on Sims' results during the first four calendar years following closing, and up to $ 5.0 million of additional consideration to the seller of the assets of a small, multi-stop distribution carrier we acquired in February 2025 ( the "Asset Acquisition"). Additionally, the acquisition of assets that are now operating as Star (the "Star Acquisition") requires us to pay additional consideration to the sellers as described in Note 13 "Acquisition of Assets of a Brokerage Business Operating as Star Logistics Solutions". The fair value of the contingent consideration is adjusted at each reporting period based on changes to the expected cash flows and related assumptions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 , there were contingent payments made of $ 12.5 million and $ 12.5 million based on LTST's results for the second calendar year following closing and $ 0.3 million and $ 0.6 million as a result of the Asset Acquisition, respectively. Of the $ 13.1 million paid for the contingent consideration liability during 2026, $ 4.8 million was classified as financing cash flows within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and $ 8.3 million was classified as operating cash flows within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 , there were contingent payments made of $ 0.1 million and $ 0.1 million as a result of the Asset Acquisition and none and $ 12.5 million based on LTST's results for the first calendar year following closing, respectively. Of the $ 12.6 million paid for the contingent consideration liability during 2025, $ 4.6 million was classified as financing cash flows and $ 8.0 million was classified as operating cash flows within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the fair value of the contingent consideration decreased $ 1.0 million due to the change in the fair value for the Sim's contingent consideration partially offset by an increase of $ 0.3 million due to the change in the fair value for the LTST contingent consideration. The fair value for the LTST contingent consideration for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $ 0.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the fair value of the contingent consideration decreased $ 1.0 million due to the decrease in the fair value for the Sim's contingent consideration, partially offset by the $ 0.7 million increase in the LTST contingent consideration. The contingent consideration increased $ 5.0 million as a result of the Asset Acquisition and $ 1.4 million due to a change in the fair value for the LTST contingent consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2025 . The adjustment to the fair value of the contingent consideration liability was recorded as a component of general supplies and expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The contingent consideration liability is included in accounts payable and other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table provides a summary (in thousands) of the activity for the contingent consideration liability for 2026: December 31, 2025 Additions Adjustments to fair market value Payments June 30, 2026 Contingent consideration $ ( 22,489 ) $ - $ 343 $ 13,146 $ ( 9,000 ) Page 10 Table of Contents Note 4. Segment Information We have four reportable segments: ● Expedited: The Expedited reportable segment primarily provides truckload services to customers with high service freight and delivery standards, such as 1,000 miles in 22 hours, or 15 -minute delivery windows. Expedited services generally require two -person driver teams on equipment either owned or leased by the Company. ● Dedicated: The Dedicated reportable segment provides customers with committed truckload capacity over contracted periods with the goal of three to five years in length. Equipment is either owned or leased by the Company. The Dedicated reportable segment also provides shuttle and switching services related to shuttling containers and trailers in or around freight yards and to/from warehouses for Dedicated customers. ● Managed Freight: The Managed Freight reportable segment includes our brokerage and transport management services (“TMS”). Brokerage services provide logistics capacity by outsourcing the carriage of customers’ freight to third parties. TMS provides comprehensive logistics services on a contractual basis to customers who prefer to outsource their logistics needs. ● Warehousing: The Warehousing reportable segment provides day-to-day warehouse management services to customers who have chosen to outsource this function. The Warehousing reportable segment also provides shuttle and switching services related to shuttling containers and trailers in or around freight yards and to/from warehouses for Warehousing customers. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the operating results through reportable segment operating income, which includes certain corporate overhead allocations directly attributable to each of the segments. We do not report our intersegment revenues by segment to our CODM and do not believe they are a meaningful metric for evaluating the performance of our reportable segments. Each segment uses certain shared infrastructure and each segment is presented with its direct costs and an allocation of certain shared overhead costs. Insurance and claims expense is charged to the segments based on their historic claims experience and an allocation of current insurance premiums. The CODM uses operating income for each segment in the annual budget and strategic planning process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis as well as month-over-month variances when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CODM also uses segment operating income for evaluating pricing strategy, to assess the performance of each segment by comparing the results of each segment with one another, and in determining the compensation of certain employees. The following table summarizes our total revenue by our four reportable segments, as used by our CODM in making decisions regarding allocation of resources etc., for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 : (in thousands) Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Expedited Dedicated Managed Freight Warehousing Total Revenues Freight revenue $ 73,742 $ 94,020 $ 99,542 $ 26,722 $ 294,026 Fuel surcharge revenue (1) 19,678 18,346 -

The CODM uses net fuel expense to measure the effectiveness of our fuel surcharge program. ( 2 ) Other represents indirect costs not directly attributable to any one reportable segment, amortization of intangible assets, and contingent consideration liability adjustments to match the information our CODM uses to evaluate the operating results of our reportable segments. Balance sheet data by reportable segment is not maintained by the Company. Page 12 Table of Contents Note 5. Income Taxes Income tax expense in both 2026 and 2025 varies from the amount computed by applying the federal corporate income tax rates of 21 % to income before income taxes, primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal income tax effect, adjusted for permanent differences the most significant of which is the effect of the per diem pay structure for drivers, executive compensation disallowance, and excess tax benefits on share-based compensation. Drivers who meet the requirements to receive per diem receive non-taxable per-diem pay in lieu of a portion of their taxable wages. This per diem program increases our drivers' net pay per mile, after taxes, while decreasing gross pay, before taxes. As a result, salaries, wages, and related expenses are slightly lower and our effective income tax rate is higher than the statutory rate. Generally, as pre-tax income increases, the impact of the driver per diem program on our effective tax rate decreases, because aggregate per diem pay becomes smaller in relation to pre-tax income, while in periods where earnings are at or near breakeven the impact of the per diem program on our effective tax rate is significant. Due to the partially nondeductible effect of per diem pay, our tax rate will fluctuate in future periods based on fluctuations in earnings. Our liability recorded for uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2026 is unchanged since December 31, 2025 . The net deferred tax liability of $ 121.1 million primarily relates to differences in cumulative book versus tax depreciation of property and equipment, partially off-set by net operating loss carryovers and insurance claims that have been reserved but not paid. The carrying value of our deferred tax assets assumes that we will be able to generate, based on certain estimates and assumptions, sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions to utilize these deferred tax benefits. If these estimates and related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to establish a valuation allowance against the carrying value of the deferred tax assets, which would result in additional income tax expense. On a periodic basis, we assess the need for adjustment of the valuation allowance. There was no material change to the valuation allowance as June 30, 2026 . The Company continues to have a significant amount of reversing temporary differences that can be considered as future sources of taxable income. If these estimates and related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to modify our valuation allowance against the carrying value of the deferred tax assets.

Debt Current and long-term debt and lease obligations consisted of the following as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 : (in thousands) June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 Current Long-Term Current Long-Term Borrowings under Credit Facility $ - $ 51,000 $ - $ 30,000 Equipment installment notes; weighted average interest rate of 5.1 % at June 30, 2026, and 5.1 % at December 31, 2025, due in monthly installments with final maturities at various dates ranging from July 2026 to July 2032, secured by related equipment (1) 62,901 159,408 62,602 189,115 Real estate notes; interest rate of 5.4 % at June 30, 2026 and 5.6 % at December 31, 2025 due in monthly installments with a fixed maturity at August 2035, secured by related real estate 1,433 14,324 1,403 14,931 Total debt 64,334 224,732 64,005 234,046 Principal portion of finance lease obligations, secured by related revenue equipment 978 2,258 840 2,353 Principal portion of operating lease obligations, secured by related real estate and revenue equipment 12,646 19,486 12,182 25,272 Total debt and lease obligations $ 77,958 $ 246,476 $ 77,027 $ 261,671 ( 1 ) Equipment installment notes consist primarily of financing arrangements for the Company's revenue equipment and also include an immaterial note payable related to the Company's fractional aircraft ownership interest. We and substantially all of our subsidiaries are parties to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A., as agent (the "Agent") and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (together with the Agent, the "Lenders"). The Credit Facility is a $ 130.0 million revolving credit facility, with an uncommitted accordion feature that, so long as no event of default exists, allows us to request an increase in the revolving credit facility of up to $ 75.0 million subject to Lender acceptance of the additional funding commitment. The Credit Facility includes a letter of credit sub facility in an aggregate amount of $ 105.0 million and a swing line sub facility in an aggregate amount equal to the greater of $ 10.0 million or 10 % of the Lenders' aggregate commitments under the Credit Facility from time-to-time. The Credit Facility matures in June 17, 2031. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are classified as either "base rate loans" or "SOFR loans." Base rate loans accrue interest at a base rate equal to the greater of the Agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5 %, or SOFR for a one month period as of such day, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25 % to 0.75%; while SOFR loans accrued interest at SOFR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25 % to 1.75 %. The applicable rates are adjusted quarterly based on average pricing availability. The unused line fee is the product of 0.25 % times the average daily amount by which the Lenders' aggregate revolving commitments under the Credit Facility exceed the outstanding principal amount of revolver loans and the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility. The obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets, with the notable exclusion of any real estate, revenue equipment pledged under other financing agreements, including equipment installment notes and finance leases, and revenue equipment that we do not designate as being included in the borrowing base. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base limited to the lesser of (A) $ 130.0 million, minus the sum of the stated amount of all outstanding letters of credit; or (B) the sum of (i) 87.5 % of eligible accounts receivable, plus (ii) the least of (a) 85 % of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible revenue equipment, (b) 100 % of the net book value of eligible revenue equipment, (c) 60.0 % of the Lenders' aggregate revolving commitments under the Credit Facility, or (d) $ 78.0 million. We had $ 51.0 million borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2026 , undrawn letters of credit outstanding of approximately $ 19.9 million, and available borrowing capacity of $ 59.1 million. As of June 30, 2026 , there were $ 1.0 million base rate and $ 50.0 million of SOFR loans. Based on availability as of June 30, 2026 and 2025 , there was no fixed charge coverage requirement. Page 14 Table of Contents The Credit Facility includes usual and customary events of default for a facility of this nature and provides that, upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Credit Facility may be accelerated, and the Lenders' commitments may be terminated. If an event of default occurs under the Credit Facility and the Lenders cause, or have the ability to cause, all of the outstanding debt obligations under the Credit Facility to become due and payable, this could result in a default under other debt instruments that contain acceleration or cross-default provisions. The Credit Facility contains certain restrictions and covenants relating to, among other things, debt, dividends, liens, acquisitions and dispositions outside of the ordinary course of business, and affiliate transactions. Failure to comply with the covenants and restrictions set forth in the Credit Facility could result in an event of default. Pricing for the equipment installment notes is quoted by the respective financial affiliates of our primary revenue equipment suppliers and other lenders at the funding of each group of equipment acquired and include fixed annual rates for new equipment under retail installment contracts. The notes included in the funding are due in monthly installments with final maturities at various dates ranging from July 2026 to July 2032 . The notes contain certain requirements regarding payment, insuring of collateral, and other matters, but do not have any financial or other material covenants or events of default. Additional borrowings from the financial affiliates of our primary revenue equipment suppliers and other lenders are expected to be available to fund new tractors expected to be delivered in 2026 , while any other property and equipment purchases, including trailers, are expected to be funded with a combination of available cash, notes, operating leases, finance leases, and/or from the Credit Facility. In August 2015, we financed a portion of the purchase of our corporate headquarters, a maintenance facility, and certain surrounding property in Chattanooga, Tennessee by entering into a $ 28.0 million variable rate note with a third -party lender. The note contains certain restrictions and covenants that are usual and customary for a note of this nature. Failure to comply with the covenants and restrictions set forth in the note could result in an event of default. Concurrently with entering into the note, we entered into an interest rate swap to effectively fix the related interest rate to 4.2 %. We expect to be in compliance with our required debt covenants for the next 12 months. Page 15 Table of Contents Note 7. Lease Obligations The finance leases in effect at June 30, 2026 terminate from June 2028 through November 2033 and contain guarantees of the residual value of the related equipment by us. A summary of our lease obligations at June 30, 2026 and 2025 are as follows: (dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets $ 225 $ 218 $ 443 $ 437 Interest on lease liabilities 101 120 206 243 Operating lease cost 3,645 3,993 7,314 7,834 Variable lease cost 38 17 54 ( 68 ) Short-term lease cost 1,850 1,473 4,149 2,679 Total lease cost 5,859 5,821 12,166 11,125 Other information Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from finance leases 101 120 206 243 Operating cash flows from operating leases 3,084 3,026 6,139 6,046 Financing cash flows from finance leases 227 185 460 365 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new finance lease liabilities 503 - 503 - Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities - 1,484 818 4,359 Weighted-average remaining lease term—finance leases (in years) 4.0 4.5 Weighted-average remaining lease term—operating leases (in years) 3.2 4.0 Weighted-average discount rate—finance leases 12.3 % 12.8 % Weighted-average discount rate—operating leases 8.7 % 8.9 % As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 , right-of-use assets of $ 30.3 million and $ 35.5 million for operating leases and $ 2.9 million and $ 2.8 million for finance leases, respectively. Finance leases are included in net property and equipment in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use asset amortization is included in revenue equipment rentals and purchased transportation, communications and utilities, and general supplies and expenses, depending on the underlying asset, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Amortization of finance leased assets is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Page 16 Table of Contents Note 8. Stock -Based Compensation Our Third Amended and Restated 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Incentive Plan") governs the issuance of equity awards and other incentive compensation to management and members of the Board of Directors (the "Board"). The Incentive Plan includes (i) a fungible share reserve feature, under which shares subject to stock options and stock appreciation rights will be counted as one share for every share granted and shares subject to all other awards will be counted as 1.80 shares for every share granted, (ii) a double-trigger vesting requirement upon a change in control, and (iii) a maximum award granted or payable to any one participant under the Incentive Plan for a calendar year of 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock or $ 4,000,000 , in the event the award is paid in cash. The Incentive Plan permits annual awards of shares of our Class A common stock to executives, other key employees, consultants, non-employee directors, and eligible participants under various types of options, restricted stock, or other equity instruments. As of June 30, 2026 , there were 1,537,726 shares available for award under the Incentive Plan. No awards may be made under the Incentive Plan after May 1, 2033. To the extent available, we have issued treasury stock to satisfy all share-based incentive plans. Included in salaries, wages, and related expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations is stock-based compensation reversal of less than $ 0.1 million and expense of $ 0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 , respectively, and expense of $ 0.7 million and $ 1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 , respectively. Included in general supplies and expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations is stock-based compensation expense for non-employee directors of $ 0.2 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 , and $ 0.4 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 . There were no unvested employee stock options or related stock compensation expense for the three or six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025 . The Incentive Plan allows participants to pay the federal and state minimum statutory tax withholding requirements related to awards that vest or allows participants to deliver to us shares of Class A common stock having a fair market value equal to the minimum amount of such required withholding taxes. To satisfy withholding requirements for shares that vested through June 30, 2026 , certain participants elected to forfeit receipt of an aggregate of 143,946 shares of Class A common stock at a weighted average per share price of $ 20.23 based on the closing price of our Class A common stock on the dates the shares vested in 2026 , in lieu of the federal and state minimum statutory tax withholding requirements. We remitted $ 2.9 million to the proper taxing authorities in satisfaction of the employees' minimum statutory withholding requirements. Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings From time-to-time, we are a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, most of which involves claims for personal injury, workers’ compensation, and/or property damage incurred in connection with the transportation of freight. We record a liability for the estimated cost of the uninsured portion of pending claims and the estimated allocated loss adjustment expenses, including legal and other direct costs associated with a claim, when we believe that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There are inherent uncertainties in these legal matters, some of which are beyond management’s control, making the ultimate outcomes difficult to predict. Moreover, management's views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and the matters continue to develop. The Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity could be materially and adversely affected by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies. In 2025, a third -party trucking company hauling a load brokered by Covenant Transport Solutions, LLC, and using a trailer owned by Landair Leasing, Inc. was involved in an accident in Texas that resulted in five fatalities and injuries to at least one other person. There are several possible defendants in the case, facts are still being developed, alleged damages have not been specified, and there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved. The Company has concluded that a loss is probable in the litigation in Texas courts, but given the preliminary nature of the proceedings, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of possible losses at this time in excess of the amount accrued for legal costs. As of June 30, 2026 , the Company has recognized approximately $ 1.5 million of legal costs related to this matter, of which approximately $ 0.9 million has been paid and approximately $0.6 million has been accrued for estimated costs not yet paid. The Company has separately recognized insurance recovery assets of approximately $ 1.0 million, consisting of approximately $ 0.4 million for claim-related costs already paid by the Company in excess of its $ 0.5 million policy retention that are expected to be reimbursed by the insurer and approximately $ 0.6 million for accrued claim-related costs expected to be reimbursed by the insurer when those costs are paid or otherwise settled in the future. The Company has not recorded any other liability related to the accident. To the extent we or any of our subsidiaries is found to have liability related to the accident, and the damages awarded against the Company exceed the Company’s coverage limits, involve significant aggregate use of the Company’s self-insured retention amounts, or cause increases in the Company’s insurance premiums, the Company’s insurance and claims expense would be volatile and increase. Any resulting increases in such expenses could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. Other Commitments and Contingencies We had $ 19.9 million of outstanding and undrawn letters of credit as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 . The letters of credit are maintained primarily to support our insurance programs. Note 10. Equity Method Investment We own a 49.0 % interest in Transport Enterprise Leasing, LLC ("TEL"), a tractor and trailer equipment leasing company and used equipment reseller. The activities that most significantly impact TEL’s economic performance include leasing strategy, equipment acquisition and disposition decisions, and pricing of lease arrangements, which are directed by the majority owners in accordance with TEL's operating agreement. There is no loss limitation on our 49.0% interest in TEL. We have not guaranteed any of TEL's debt and have no obligation to provide funding, services, or assets. There are no current put rights to purchase or sell with any owners. TEL’s majority owners are generally restricted from transferring their interests in TEL, other than to certain permitted transferees, without our consent. Similarly, we are generally restricted from transferring our interest in TEL, other than to certain permitted transferees, without their consent. There are no third -party liquidity arrangements, guarantees, and/or other commitments that may affect the fair value or risk of our interest in TEL. As of June 30, 2026 , we had a revenue equipment operating lease liability to TEL of $ 6.7 million with final maturities at various dates ranging from April 2029 to August 2029. No other transactions with TEL were material for the three or six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 . Page 17 Table of Contents We have evaluated our interest in TEL under the variable interest entity model including consideration of whether we have (i) the power to direct the activities of TEL that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to TEL. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of TEL because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact TEL’s economic performance, which are directed by the majority owners in accordance with TEL's operating agreement. While we hold a significant equity interest in TEL, we do not have unilateral or controlling decision-making authority over significant activities. Accordingly, we do not consolidate TEL and have accounted for our investment in TEL using the equity method of accounting, and thus our financial results include our proportionate share of TEL's 2026 net income through June 30, 2026 , or $ 9.0 million. Our accounts receivable from TEL, accounts payable to TEL, and investment in TEL as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands): Description: Balance Sheet Line Item: June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 Accounts receivable from TEL Driver advances and other receivables $ 9 $ 13 Accounts payable to TEL Accrued expenses $ 231 $ 460 Investment in TEL Other assets $ 94,506 $ 85,512 Operating lease obligations Current and long-term portion of operating lease obligations $ 6,705 $ 7,800 Our accounts receivable from TEL related to cash disbursements made pursuant to our performance of certain back-office and maintenance functions on TEL’s behalf and our accounts payable to TEL primarily related to leased revenue equipment payment accruals.

Acquisition of Assets of Brokerage Business Operating as Star Logistics Solutions On October 10, 2025, we acquired the assets of a truckload brokerage business, which we are operating as Star. Star operates in the consumer retail and disaster relief sectors where we historically have lacked exposure. Additionally, the disaster recovery market is highly specialized and synergistic with our Expedited business and offers occasional, high volume and high margin opportunities. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was $ 27.1 million. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions. The Asset Purchase Agreement includes an earnout component based on Star's average adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization reported for the three years ended December 31, 2028 with potential advance payments based on Star's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization reported for each of the years ended December 31, 2026 and 2027. The total purchase price, including any earnout achieved, is expected to be approximately $ 27.2 million depending on the results achieved by Star. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following: October 10, 2025 (in thousands) Cash paid pursuant to Asset Purchase Agreement $ 27,053 Contingent consideration 159 Net purchase price $ 27,212 We estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using a probability-weighted model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Refer to Note 3, "Fair Value of Financial Instruments" for information regarding changes in the contingent consideration arrangement. All goodwill related to the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes, and there are no deferred income taxes arising from the acquisition. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. October 10, 2025 Accounts receivable $ 10,316 Driver advances and other receivables 707 Inventory and supplies 16 Prepaid expenses 428 Other short-term assets 250 Net property and equipment 2,169 Other intangibles, net 15,050 Total identifiable assets acquired 28,936 Accounts payable ( 10,004 ) Accrued expenses ( 2,235 ) Current maturities of long-term debt ( 240 ) Current portion of operating lease obligations ( 584 ) Current portion of insurance and claims accrual ( 258 ) Long-term portion of operating lease obligations ( 560 ) Total liabilities assumed ( 13,881 ) Net identifiable assets acquired 15,055 Goodwill 12,157 Net assets acquired $ 27,212 Since acquisition we recognized measurement period adjustments which increased goodwill recognized for LTST by $ 0.1 million as of June 30, 2026 primarily related to uncollectible accounts receivable. Goodwill and other intangible assets may change upon the finalization of the valuation of the contingent consideration liability and intangible assets as part of the purchase accounting for the acquisition. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected cost synergies as a result of overhead support. Refer to Note 11, "Goodwill, Intangibles, and Other Assets" for a summary of changes to goodwill during the period as well as information related to the identifiable intangible asset acquired. Star’s results have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition and are reported within our Managed Freight reportable segment. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations assume that the acquisition of Star occurred as of January 1, 2025: (in thousands) Three months ended Six months ended June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Total revenue $ 332,873 $ 330,594 $ 640,034 $ 632,387 Net income $ 8,535 $ 9,079 $ 12,955 $ 16,044 Basic net income per share $ 0.34 $ 0.35 $ 0.52 $ 0.61 Diluted net income per share $ 0.32 $ 0.33 $ 0.49 $ 0.58 The pro forma financial information for all periods presented above has been calculated after adjusting the results of Star to reflect the business combination accounting effects resulting from this acquisition, including the amortization expense from acquired intangible assets as though the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2025. As noted above, the allocation is preliminary and changes to the value of the contingent consideration and finalization of our valuation could result in changes to the amount of amortization expense from acquired intangible assets included in the pro forma financial information presented above. The Company's historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the business combination and factually supportable. The pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of 2025.
