  • The partial earnings release comes ahead of its first investor day under incoming CEO Mario Harik, on October 18, and the November 1 spinoff of its high-tech truck brokerage business into a new publicly traded company called RXO, CNBC reported.
  • During an interview in March, XPO Chairman and former CEO Brad Jacobs said he hoped that turning the company into a pure-play trucker would eliminate the so-called “conglomerate discount” for XPO shares.
  • For the truck brokerage segment that will become RXO, the company expects revenue to decrease by 2% year over year and volume to increase by 9%. Truck brokerage connects truckers with customers in the on-demand “spot market.” 
  • XPO also issued goals for both XPO and RXO to reach by FY27. 
  • It saw the trucking operation delivering revenue growth at a compound annual rate of 6% - 8% and annual adjusted EBIDTA growth of 11% - 13%.
  • XPO expects the brokerage company to achieve adjusted EBITDA of $475 million - $525 million by 2027, with annual spending of about 1% of revenue 202-2027. 
  • “The long-term guidance we issued shows that we expect continued strong performance for both XPO and RXO,” Harik said.
  • Price Action: XPO shares closed higher by 3.59% at $48.48 on Monday.
