Warren, MI – July 24, 2025 — Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ULH) today reported consolidated second quarter 2025 net income of $8.3 million, or $0.32 per basic and diluted share, on total operating revenues of $393.8 million. This compares to net income of $30.7 million, or $1.17 per basic and diluted share, during the second quarter 2024 on total operating revenues of $462.2 million.

In the second quarter 2025, Universal’s operating income decreased $27.2 million to $19.9 million, compared to $47.1 million in the second quarter one year earlier. As a percentage of operating revenue, operating margin for the second quarter 2025 was 5.1%, compared to 10.2% during the same period last year. EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, decreased $28.6 million during the second quarter 2025 to $56.2 million, compared to $84.8 million one year earlier. As a percentage of operating revenue, EBITDA margin for the second quarter 2025 was 14.3%, compared to 18.4% during the same period last year.

“Universal’s results for the second quarter, although muted, were broadly in-line with our previously guided expectations,” stated Tim Phillips, Universal’s CEO. “Our contract logistics segment continues to deliver solid results and demonstrates the strategic advantage of Universal’s diverse service offerings. Our trucking segment also performed well, sequentially growing their results on both the top and bottom lines. While our intermodal franchise continues to underperform, we are making progress on our profitability initiatives, narrowing our losses on a quarter-over-quarter basis. As we continue to navigate a persistently weak freight backdrop, we remain committed to delivering exceptional service to our customers and making strategic investments to drive our long-term growth initiatives.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing consolidated financial statements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), we are providing additional financial measures that are not required by or prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP). We present EBITDA and EBITDA margin, each a non-GAAP measure, as supplemental measures of our performance. We define EBITDA as net income plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, and (iv) amortization. We define EBITDA margin as EBITDA as a percentage of total operating revenues. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis.

In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are presenting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP measure. Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:


	Thirteen Weeks Ended						Twenty-six Weeks Ended

	2025			2024			2025			2024
	( in thousands)						( in thousands)
EBITDA
Net income	$	8,316		$	30,734		$	14,330		$	83,191
Income tax expense		2,874			10,384			4,895			28,044
Interest expense, net		8,852			6,883			17,075			12,962
Depreciation		30,596			32,052			60,585			47,954
Amortization		5,607			4,757			11,106			9,556
EBITDA	$	56,245		$	84,810		$	107,991		$	181,707

EBITDA margin (a)		14.3	%		18.4	%		13.9	%		19.0	%

(a) EBITDA margin is computed by dividing EBITDA by total operating revenues for each of the periods indicated.

We present EBITDA and EBITDA margin because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

• EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

• EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

• Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and EBITDA margin should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and only supplementally on EBITDA and EBITDA margin.
