Executive Summary
XPO Logistics, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“XPO,” or “we”), is a leading provider of freight transportation services. We use our proprietary technology to move goods efficiently through our customers’ supply chains, primarily by providing less-than-truckload (“LTL”) and truck brokerage services. These two core lines of business generated the majority of our 2021 revenue and operating income.
Our company has two reportable segments — (i) North American LTL and (ii) Brokerage and Other Services — and within each segment, we are a leading provider in vast, fragmented transportation sectors with growing penetration. As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately 42,000 employees and 731 locations in 20 countries serving approximately 50,000 multinational, national, regional and local customers. We believe that our substantial exposure to secular industry growth trends, our first-mover advantage as an innovator and our blue-chip customer relationships are compelling competitive advantages.
2022 Strategic Plan
On March 8, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a plan to pursue the strategic spin-off of our tech-enabled brokered transportation platform in North America as a publicly traded company and to pursue two divestitures: the sale of our North American intermodal operation and the sale or listing of our European business.
If the spin-off to XPO shareholders is completed, the transaction will result in two pure-play, publicly traded companies with simplified business models and clearly delineated value propositions. The core business of the spin-off will be our truck brokerage service, with complementary brokered services for managed transportation, last mile logistics and global forwarding. The remaining company will be an asset-based provider of LTL service in North America. The planned spin-off transaction, which is intended to be tax-free to XPO and our shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, would result in XPO shareholders owning stock in both companies. In connection with
19
Table of Contents
the transaction, it is anticipated that a portion of XPO’s outstanding debt may be repaid using proceeds from borrowings incurred and debt securities to be issued by the spun-off company.
We currently expect to complete the spin-off in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to various conditions, including the effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement, receipt of a tax opinion from counsel, the refinancing of XPO’s debt on terms satisfactory to the XPO Board of Directors, and final approval by the XPO Board of Directors, among other requirements. There can be no assurance that any strategic transaction will occur, or if one or more do occur, of the terms or timing.
In March 2022, we sold our North American intermodal operation for cash proceeds of approximately $705 million, net of cash disposed and subject to a customary post-closing purchase price adjustment. We recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of $450 million, net of transaction costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We agreed to provide certain specified customary transition services for a period not exceeding 12 months from the sale. The intermodal operation was included in our Brokerage and Other Services segment through the date of the sale.
2021 Spin-Off of the Logistics Segment
On August 2, 2021, we completed the spin-off of our Logistics segment as GXO Logistics, Inc. (“GXO”). The historical results of our Logistics segment are presented as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For information on our discontinued operations, see Note 2—Discontinued Operations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred approximately $4 million and $13 million, respectively, of costs related to the GXO spin-off. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, $12 million of these costs are reflected within income from discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
North American Less-Than-Truckload Segment
XPO is the fourth largest provider of asset-based LTL services in North America — we have one of the industry’s largest networks of tractors, trailers and terminals, and approximately 8% share of the $51 billion LTL market as of December 31, 2021. We provide our customers with geographic density and day-definite regional, inter-regional and transcontinental LTL freight services. Our services include cross-border U.S. freight movements to and from Mexico and Canada, as well as intra-Canada service.
Our LTL business is one of the few truly national LTL providers in North America, with a historically high return on capital (“ROIC”) and robust free cash flow generation. Our LTL customer base is levered to the industrial economy, which we expect to be a growing opportunity for us as supply chain disruptions resolve and manufacturing scales up in North America. In addition to our competitive positioning, we benefit from favorable industry fundamentals of rational pricing and limited commoditization. We have relationships with approximately 25,000 LTL customers in North America, the majority of which are local accounts. For the trailing 12 months ended March 31, 2022, we delivered approximately 18 billion pounds of freight.
After the planned spin-off of our North American brokered transportation platform, our company will be the third largest pure-play LTL provider in North America. We expect our business to move forward with continued strong momentum from the numerous company-specific initiatives we have underway for network growth and efficiency. We are using a combination of operational tactics and investments in our capacity of tractors, trailers, doors and truck drivers, including our goal of adding 900 net new doors to our network by year-end 2023. Importantly, the plan levers XPO-specific competitive advantages, including our continued deployment of proprietary LTL technology, the expansion of our national driver training network, and increased production at our Company-owned trailer manufacturing facility in Arkansas.
We are making good progress in these areas, including the opening of three new LTL terminals from October 31, 2021 through March 31, 2022, one new terminal in April 2022 and one expected to open in May 2022. In January 2022, we added a second production line at our trailer manufacturing facility to double our output run-rate. We expect to graduate approximately 1,800 driver school trainees this year, which is twice the number of 2021 graduates, to counteract the industry-wide driver shortage.
Specific to our technology, we believe that we have a significant opportunity to further improve the profitability of our LTL network through innovation, beyond the large gain in operating margin we have achieved to date. We use
20
Table of Contents
intelligent route-building to move LTL freight across North America, and proprietary visualization tools to help reduce the cost of pickups and deliveries. Our XPO Smart™ productivity tools are deployed in our LTL cross-dock operations. Our largest opportunity is related to our proprietary pricing technology, which includes automated, dynamic pricing for local accounts and a new pricing platform utilized by our pricing experts for larger accounts.
Brokerage and Other Services Segment
XPO is one of the largest truck brokers in North America. As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately 3% share of the $88 billion truck brokerage industry — which is a subset of the $400 billion total addressable opportunity of for-hire trucking in North America. Shippers create truckload demand and we place their freight with qualified independent carriers, pricing the transactions on either a contract or a spot basis. Our truck brokerage business has an agile model with a variable labor structure that generates a high ROIC and free cash flow conversion.
The key factors driving growth and margin expansion in our truck brokerage business are massive capacity, our cutting-edge XPO Connect ® technology platform and favorable industry tailwinds. The demand for truckload capacity in the e-commerce and omnichannel retail sectors continues to be robust. At the same time, more and more shippers are outsourcing to brokers, while increasingly preferring brokers like XPO that offer digital capabilities.
As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately 106,000 independent truckload carriers in our global brokerage network; approximately 88,000 of these carriers are in North America, representing more than one and a half million trucks. Our XPO Connect ® brokerage platform is a major differentiator for our business and, together with our pricing technology, we believe it can unlock incremental profitable growth well beyond our current levels. As of March 31, 2022, cumulative truck driver downloads of the mobile app for XPO Connect ® surpassed 700,000.
Our Brokerage and Other Services segment also includes three asset-light, brokered transportation services, all of which are complementary to our truck brokerage business: managed transportation, last mile logistics for heavy goods and global forwarding. Our European business, which we plan to divest through either a sale or a listing, is also currently reported within this segment.
Post-spin-off, we expect all of the brokered transportation services to continue to lever the first-mover technology advantage the new company will inherit from XPO.
From 2013 through 2021, our truck brokerage business in North America generated a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 27.4% — three times the truck brokerage industry growth rate of 9.6%.
Technology and Corporate Sustainability
Proprietary technology is a major competitive advantage for us across our service lines. Our company has been investing in transportation automation and digitization for more than a decade to innovate how goods move through supply chains. We believe that we are well-positioned to satisfy customer demands for faster, more efficient supply chains with greater visibility, while enhancing revenue and profitability.
Importantly, our technology also helps our Company and customers meet our respective environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) goals, such as a reduction in the carbon footprint of certain supply chains operations. For a detailed discussion of our philosophy relating to innovation and ESG matters, see the Executive Overview included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as our current Sustainability Report at sustainability.xpo.com .
Impacts of COVID-19 and Other Notable External Conditions
As a leading provider of freight transportation services, our business can be impacted to varying degrees by factors beyond our control. The COVID-19 pandemic that emerged in 2020 affected, and may continue to affect, economic activity broadly and customer sectors served by our industry. Labor shortages, particularly a shortage of truck drivers and dockworkers, and equipment shortages continue to present challenges to many transportation-related industries. Additionally, disruptions in supply chains for industrial materials and supplies, such as semiconductor chips, have impacted some of the end-market activities that create demand for our services. We cannot predict how long these dynamics will last in the economic recovery, or whether future challenges, if any, will adversely affect our results of operations. To date, the totality of the actions we have taken during the pandemic, and continue to take
21
Table of Contents
in the recovery, have mitigated the impact on our profitability relative to the impact on our revenue and volumes, while our strong liquidity and disciplined capital management enable us to continue to invest in growth initiatives.
Additionally, economic inflation can have a negative impact on our operating costs. A prolonged period of inflation could cause interest rates, fuel, wages and other costs to continue to increase, which would adversely affect our results of operations unless our pricing to our customers correspondingly increases. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the transportation industry’s truck driver shortage, together with rising fuel prices, resulted in higher transportation procurement costs to meet growing demand, which costs were largely offset by mechanisms in our customer contracts, including fuel surcharge clauses and general rate increases.
Regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine, we have no direct exposure to those geographies. We cannot predict how global supply chain activities or the economy at large may be impacted by a prolonged war in Ukraine or sanctions imposed in response to the war, or whether future conflicts, if any, may adversely affect our results of operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Revenue for the first quarter of 2022 increased 16.2% to $3.5 billion, compared with the same quarter in 2021. The increase in revenue reflects growth in both our Brokerage and Other Services and LTL segments and includes the impact of increased revenue from fuel surcharges. Foreign currency movement reduced revenue by approximately 1.2 percentage points in the first quarter of 2022.
Cost of transportation and services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) includes the cost of providing or procuring freight transportation for XPO customers and salaries paid to employee drivers in our LTL and truck brokerage businesses.
Cost of transportation and services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for the first quarter of 2022 was $2.4 billion, or 70.2% of revenue, compared with $2.1 billion or 68.7% of revenue, for the same quarter in 2021. The year-over-year increase as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to higher third-party transportation costs, which were partially offset by pricing actions.
22
Table of Contents
Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) are comprised of both fixed and variable expenses and include operating costs related to our LTL service centers. Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) consist mainly of personnel costs, facility and equipment expenses, such as rent, utilities, equipment maintenance and repair, costs of materials and supplies, information technology expenses, and gains and losses on sales of property and equipment.
Direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for the first quarter of 2022 was $385 million, or 11.1% of revenue, compared with $334 million, or 11.2% of revenue, for the same quarter in 2021. The year-over-year decrease as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by the leveraging of compensation costs across a larger revenue base. This decrease was almost entirely offset by a $23 million gains on sales of property and equipment in the first quarter of 2021. There were no gains on sales of property and equipment in the first quarter of 2022.
Sales, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) primarily consists of salaries and commissions for the sales function, salary and benefit costs for executive and certain administration functions, professional fees, facility costs, bad debt expense and legal costs.
SG&A for the first quarter of 2022 was $344 million, or 9.9% of revenue, compared with $338 million, or 11.3% of revenue, for the same quarter in 2021. The year-over-year decrease as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by lower compensation expense and third-party professional and consulting fees.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $116 million, compared with $119 million for the same quarter in 2021.
Gain on sale of business was $450 million, net of transaction costs, for the first quarter of 2022 as we sold our North American intermodal operation. For more information, see Note 3—Divestiture to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Transaction and integration costs for the first quarter of 2022 were $10 million, compared with $5 million for the same quarter in 2021. Transaction and integration costs for the first three months of 2022 and 2021 are primarily comprised of third-party professional fees related to strategic initiatives, including the spin-offs and other disposal activities, as well as retention awards paid to certain employees.
Restructuring costs for the first quarter of 2022 were $6 million, compared with $1 million for the same quarter in 2021. We engage in restructuring actions as part of our ongoing efforts to best use our resources and infrastructure, including actions in connection with spin-offs and other disposal activities. For more information, see Note 6—Restructuring Charges to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We may incur incremental restructuring costs in 2022 in connection with the planned spin-off of our North American brokered transportation operation or for other reasons; however, we are currently unable to reasonably estimate these costs.
Other income primarily consists of pension income. Other income for the first quarter of 2022 was $14 million, compared with $16 million for the same quarter in 2021.
Debt extinguishment loss was $8 million for the first quarter of 2021 and related to the write-off of debt issuance costs for the redemption of our outstanding senior notes due 2022, as well as costs incurred related to the amendment of our term loan credit agreement. There was no debt extinguishment loss in the first quarter of 2022.
Interest expense decreased to $37 million for the first three months of 2022 from $65 million for the first three months of 2021. The decrease in interest expense reflected lower average total indebtedness in the first quarter of 2022.
Our effective income tax rates were 18.8% and 23.0% for the first three months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rates for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021 were based on forecasted full-year effective tax rates, adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented. The primary items impacting the effective tax rate for the first three months of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021 included a tax expense of $78 million from the sale of our North American intermodal operation, which resulted in a reduction to our effective tax rate due to the book gain exceeding the tax gain, as well as a tax benefit of $2 million from stock-based compensation. The primary item impacting the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2021 was a tax benefit of $3 million from stock-based compensation.

Segment Financial Results
Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews financial information at the operating segment level to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. Our CODM evaluates segment profit based on adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), which we define as income from continuing operations before debt extinguishment loss, interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization expense, gain on sale of business, transaction and integration costs, restructuring costs and other adjustments. See Note 4—Segment Reporting for further information and a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to Income from continuing operations.
North American Less-Than-Truckload Segment
Three Months Ended March 31, Percent of Revenue Change
(Dollars in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 vs. 2021
Revenue $ 1,105 $ 962 100.0 % 100.0 % 14.9 %
Adjusted EBITDA 205 214 18.5 % 22.2 % (4.2) %
Depreciation and amortization expense 55 55 5.0 % 5.7 % — %
Revenue in our North American LTL segment increased 14.9% to $1.1 billion for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $962 million for the same quarter in 2021. Revenue included fuel surcharge revenue of $207 million and $135 million, respectively, for the first three months of 2022 and 2021.
We evaluate the revenue performance of our LTL business using several commonly used metrics, including volume (weight per day in pounds) and yield, which is a commonly used measure of LTL pricing trends. We measure yield using gross revenue per hundredweight excluding fuel surcharges. Impacts on yield can include weight per shipment and length of haul, among other factors. The following table summarizes our key revenue metrics:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2022 2021 Change %
Pounds per day (thousands) 70,176 70,730 (0.8) %
Gross revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges $ 20.76 $ 19.11 8.7 %
The year-over-year increase in revenue for the first quarter of 2022 reflects an increase in gross revenue per hundredweight. The decrease in weight per day for the first quarter reflects lower shipments per day, partially offset by higher weight per shipment.
Adjusted EBITDA was $205 million, or 18.5% of revenue, for the first three months of 2022, compared with $214 million, or 22.2% of revenue, for the same quarter in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2021 included $17 million of gains from real estate transactions. There were no gains from real estate transactions in the first quarter of 2022. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2022 reflected higher revenue, partially offset by increased compensation costs, purchased transportation expense and fuel costs incurred to meet growing demand.
Brokerage and Other Services Segment

Table of Contents
months of 2022 primarily reflected an increase in North American truck brokerage loads, facilitated by our digital platform, as well as strength in other services. Foreign currency movement reduced revenue by approximately 1.7 percentage points in the first quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA was $164 million, or 6.7% of revenue, for the first three months of 2022, compared with $125 million, or 6.1% of revenue, for the same quarter in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenue due to load growth in North American truck brokerage and strong pricing in other brokerage services, partially offset by higher third-party transportation and compensation costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2022, compared to $260 million as of December 31, 2021. Our principal existing sources of cash are (i) cash generated from operations; (ii) borrowings available under our Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Credit Agreement, as amended (the “ABL Facility”); (iii) proceeds from the issuance of other debt; and (iv) proceeds from divestiture activities. As of March 31, 2022, we have $996 million available to draw under our ABL Facility, based on a borrowing base of $1.0 billion and outstanding letters of credit of $4 million. Additionally, we have a $200 million uncommitted secured evergreen letter of credit facility, under which we have issued $185 million in aggregate face amount of letters of credit as of March 31, 2022.
As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $2.0 billion of total liquidity. We continually evaluate our liquidity requirements in light of our operating needs, growth initiatives and capital resources. We believe that our existing liquidity and sources of capital are sufficient to support our operations over the next 12 months.
Trade Receivables Securitization and Factoring Programs
We sell certain of our trade accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions under factoring agreements. We also sell trade accounts receivable under our securitization program. We use trade receivables securitization and factoring programs to help manage our cash flows and offset the impact of extended payment terms for some of our customers. For more information, see Note 1—Organization, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The maximum amount of net cash proceeds available at any one time under our securitization program, inclusive of any unsecured borrowings, is €200 million (approximately $221 million as of March 31, 2022). As of March 31, 2022, €1 million (approximately $1 million) was available under the program, subject to having sufficient receivables available to sell and with consideration to amounts previously purchased.
Under the program, we service the receivables we sell on behalf of the Purchasers, which gives us visibility into the timing of customer payments. The benefit to our cash flow includes the difference between the cash consideration in the table below and the amount we collected as a servicer on behalf of the Purchasers. In the first three months of 2022 and 2021, we collected cash as servicer of $464 million and $341 million, respectively.
Term Loan Facilities
In the first quarter of 2021, we amended our Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) and recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $3 million.
Senior Notes Due 2025
In March 2022, we provided notice to redeem $630 million (“Redeemed Notes”) of the $1.15 billion principal amount of our outstanding 6.25% senior notes due 2025. The redemption price for the Redeemed Notes was 100% of the principal amount plus a premium as defined in the indenture and accrued and unpaid interest. In April 2022, we completed the redemption of the Redeemed Notes using available liquidity. The loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $26 million will be reflected in the second quarter of 2022 results of operations.
Senior Notes Due 2022
In January 2021, we redeemed our outstanding 6.50% senior notes due 2022. The redemption price for the notes was 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We paid for the redemption with available cash. We recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $5 million in the first quarter of 2021 due to this redemption.

Preferred Stock and Warrant Exchanges
Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2020, holders of our convertible preferred stock and warrants exchanged their holdings for our common stock or a combination of our common stock and cash. These exchanges were intended to simplify our equity capital structure, including in contemplation of the spin-off of our Logistics segment. In the first quarter of 2021, 975 preferred shares were exchanged, and we issued 0.1 million shares of common stock and 9.8 million warrants were exchanged, and we issued 9.2 million shares of common stock.
Share Repurchases
In February 2019, our Board of Directors authorized repurchases of up to $1.5 billion of our common stock. Our share repurchase authorization permits us to purchase shares in both the open market and in private transactions, with the timing and number of shares dependent on a variety of factors, including price, general business conditions, market conditions, alternative investment opportunities and funding considerations. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares and may suspend or discontinue the program at any time.
There have been no share repurchases since the first quarter of 2020. Our remaining share repurchase authorization was $503 million as of March 31, 2022.
Loan Covenants and Compliance
As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements. Any failure to comply with any material provision or covenant of these agreements could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and operations.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions) 2022 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations $ 200 $ 77
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities from continuing operations 571 (38)
Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations (24) (1,464)
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we: (i) generated cash from operating activities from continuing operations of $200 million and (ii) generated net proceeds from sale of a business of $705 million. We used cash during this period primarily to purchase property and equipment of $137 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we: (i) generated cash from operating activities from continuing operations of $77 million and (ii) generated proceeds from sales of property and equipment of $36 million. We used cash during this period primarily to: (i) purchase property and equipment of $74 million; (ii) redeem our senior notes due 2022 for $1.2 billion; and (iii) repay our ABL Facility borrowings of $200 million.
Cash flows from operating activities from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $123 million, compared with the same period in 2021. The increase reflects higher income from continuing operations of $426 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with the same period in 2021, and the impact of operating assets and liabilities providing $36 million of cash in the first three months of 2022, compared to utilizing $112 million during the same period in 2021. Partially offsetting these impacts was a $450 million gain on sale of business recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Within operating assets and liabilities, accounts payable generated $332 million more cash while accounts receivable utilized $207 million more cash in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 as a result of higher revenues and timing of payments.
