Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of GXO Logistics, Inc. (“GXO” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of GXO and its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain amounts reported for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
The Company presents its operations as one reportable segment.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules designed to enhance public company disclosures related to the risks and impacts of climate-related matters. The new rules include disclosures relating to climate-related risks and risk management, as well as the board and management’s governance of such risks. In addition, the rules include requirements to disclose the financial effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions in the audited financial statements. Larger registrants will also be required to disclose information about greenhouse gas emissions, which will be subject to a phased-in assurance requirement. The disclosures are required for annual periods ending December 31, 2025. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the implementation of the new climate-related disclosure rules pending completion of judicial review of consolidated changes to the rules by the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The Company continues to monitor developments and evaluate the potential impact of these rules on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides for expanded disclosures primarily related to income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Wincanton Acquisition
On February 29, 2024, the Company and the board of directors of Wincanton plc, a logistics company based in Chippenham, United Kingdom (“Wincanton”), reached an agreement on the terms of a cash offer by the Company for the acquisition of the entire issued ordinary share capital of Wincanton (the “Wincanton Acquisition”). Wincanton is a British logistics provider specializing in both warehousing and transportation solutions. Wincanton services industries in grocery, retail and manufacturing, consumer goods, ecommerce, healthcare, defense, industrial, and energy. Under the terms of the agreement, Wincanton shareholders will be entitled to receive 605 pence ($ 7.64 as of March 31, 2024) in cash for each Wincanton share held.
In connection with the Wincanton Acquisition, (i) the Company entered into a bridge term loan credit agreement, (ii) the Company entered into a three-year term loan credit agreement (“Three-Year Term Loan due 2027”), and (iii) in April 2024, the Company issued $ 1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of its senior notes (the “Unsecured Notes”). For additional information regarding the financing agreements entered in connection with the Wincanton Acquisition, see Note 5. Debt and Financing Arrangements and Note 13. Subsequent Events.
During March 2024, the Company purchased approximately 2.0 million Wincanton shares for approximately £ 12 million ($ 15 million).
PFSweb Acquisition
On September 13, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire PFSweb, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Irving, Texas (“PFS”), and on October 23, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of PFS (the “PFS Acquisition”). The Company acquired the shares of PFS at a price per share of $ 7.50 in cash, totaling approximately $ 149 million, net of cash acquired. PFS is a global provider of omnichannel commerce
10
solutions, including a broad range of technology, infrastructure and professional services, in the United States, Canada and Europe. PFS’s service offerings include order fulfillment, fulfillment-as-a-service, order management and customer care.

Covenants and Compliance
The covenants for the Company’s debt securities, which are customary for financings of this type, limit the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness and grant liens, among other restrictions. In addition, the facilities require the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio below a specified maximum.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company complied with the covenants contained in its debt and financing arrangements.
6. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The levels of inputs used to measure fair value are:
• Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
12
• Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and
• Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, generally utilizing pricing models or other valuation techniques that reflect management’s judgment and estimates.
Assets and Liabilities
The Company bases its fair value estimates on market assumptions and available information. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current maturities of long-term debt approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, due to their short-term nature.

7. Earnings per Share
The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were as follows:

2024 2023
Net income (loss) attributable to common shares $ ( 37 ) $ 25

Antidilutive shares excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares (1)
2,692 1,817
(1) For the three months ended March 31, 2024, weighted average shares for basic earnings per share is used for calculating diluted earnings per share because there was a net loss for the period and, as such, all dilutive potential common shares are anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded from the calculation.

11. Income Taxes
Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was a $ 10 million tax benefit compared with a $ 3 million tax expense for the same period in 2023. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was a benefit on pre-tax loss of 21.1 %, compared to an expense on pre-tax income of 11.0 % for the same period in 2023. In 2023, the effective tax rate was reduced by discrete tax benefits from the release of valuation allowances.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) issued administrative guidance for the Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion rules (“Pillar Two”), which imposes a 15% global minimum tax on multinational companies. Many Pillar Two rules are effective for fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2024, with other aspects to be effective from 2025. The Company does not expect the Pillar Two rules to materially impact its tax liability in 2024.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous legal proceedings arising from the conduct of its business. These proceedings may include personal injury claims arising from the transportation and handling of goods, contractual disputes and employment-related claims, including alleged violations of wage and hour laws.
The Company establishes accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews and adjusts accruals for loss contingencies quarterly and as additional information becomes available. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to a loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, the Company assesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or discloses that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on management’s assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter.
16
Management of the Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. Management of the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which the Company is presently a party will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as they are incurred.
The Company carries liability and excess umbrella insurance policies that are deemed sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting its operations. In the event the Company is required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively impacted.
During the first quarter of 2024, a trial was held in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri in connection with a dispute between the Company and one of its customers related to the start-up of the customer’s warehouse that occurred in 2018 (Lindt et al v. GXO Warehouse Company, Inc., docket no. 4:22-cv-00384-BP). In March 2024, the jury returned verdicts in favor of the customer. The Company recognized a $ 63 million expense in the three months ended March 31, 2024 for the jury verdicts, potential post-trial awards of interest, associated legal fees, costs and other related expenses. The Company believes that this case was incorrectly decided and intends to pursue post-verdict remedies as necessary, including an appeal, and will pursue reimbursement under its existing insurance policies.
