Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization

RXO, Inc. (“RXO”, the “Company” or “we”) is a brokered transportation platform defined by cutting-edge technology and an asset-light business model. The largest component is our core truck brokerage business. Our operations also include asset-light managed transportation and last mile services, which complement our truck brokerage business. We present our operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements as one reportable segment.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the 2024 Form 10-K.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RXO, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of September 30, 2025.

Restricted Cash

As of September 30, 2025, our restricted cash included in Other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $1 million.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Effective

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The ASU seeks to enhance income tax information primarily through changes in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. The Company will adopt this standard beginning with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our annual financial statement disclosures.

Table of Contents

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.” The ASU seeks to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses by requiring more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2027 on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets,” which introduces a practical expedient (for all entities) and an accounting policy election for non-public entities when estimating expected credit losses for current receivables and contract assets under Accounting Standards Codification 606. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments are applied prospectively, and eligible entities can choose to apply the practical expedient and accounting policy election, with required disclosures. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” The amendments in this update improve the operability of the guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted into law H.R.1, commonly referred to as “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “Act”). The Act contains several key tax provisions impacting businesses, including the permanent reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property and the restoration of immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures. The Act also modifies the business interest deduction limitation as well as several international tax provisions. The legislation has various effective dates of implementation from 2025 through 2027. The Company evaluated the impact of these tax law changes on the effective tax rate and determined that there was no material impact to our income tax expense or effective tax rate.

3. Acquisition

On September 16, 2024 (the “acquisition date”), the Company acquired the technology-driven, asset-light based truckload freight brokerage services business, as well as certain assets used to conduct haulage, dedicated transport and warehousing services in the United Kingdom (collectively, “Coyote”), from United Parcel Service of America, Inc. (“UPS”) and certain subsidiaries of UPS (the “Transaction”). We acquired Coyote for $1.038 billion in cash, subject to certain additional customary adjustments. The purchase price was subsequently increased by $10 million for working capital and other post-closing adjustments, which was paid in the first quarter of 2025. We believe the acquisition of Coyote enhances our competitive position with greater scale, a broader array of service offerings and strengths in a more diverse set of end markets.

The Transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to Coyote’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company at the acquisition date. During the measurement period, adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation were made primarily to reflect the final valuation of acquired identifiable intangible assets, property and equipment, self-insured liabilities and deferred tax liabilities.


(In millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	19
Accounts receivable	394
Other current assets	31
Property and equipment	25
Identifiable intangible assets	459
Operating lease assets	88
Other long-term assets	19
Total assets	$	1,035

Accounts payable	$	(209)

Other long-term liabilities	(41)
Total liabilities	$	(479)

Net assets acquired	$	556
Purchase price	$	1,048
Goodwill recorded	$	492

The purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, and, as such, the excess was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill will not be amortized but instead will be reviewed for impairment at least annually, absent any indicators of impairment. Goodwill is attributable to synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of the Company and Coyote and the assembled workforce. Goodwill recognized in the Transaction is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocated to the identifiable intangible assets acquired:


(In millions)	Fair Value		Weighted Average Useful Life (Years)
Customer relationships	$	444	15
Trademarks	15		4
Total	$	459	15

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the Company’s results of operations as if the Coyote acquisition occurred on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma information includes adjustments for intangible assets acquired and elimination of historical intercompany transactions between RXO and Coyote. The unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of our consolidated results of operations of the combined business had the acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2023 or of the results of our future operations of the combined business.

5. Revenue Recognition

Disaggregation of Revenues

We disaggregate our revenue by geographic area, service offering and industry sector. The majority of our revenue, based on sales office location, is generated in the U.S. Approximately 7% and 8% of our revenues were generated outside the U.S. (primarily in Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Approximately 7% and 8% of our revenues were generated outside the U.S. (primarily in Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Table of Contents

Our revenue disaggregated by service offering is as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2025		2024		2025		2024

Total	$	1,421	$	1,040	$	4,273	$	2,883

Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent firm contracts for which services have not been performed and future revenue recognition is expected. As permitted in determining the remaining performance obligation, we omit obligations that: (i) have original expected durations of one year or less or (ii) contain variable consideration. As of September 30, 2025, the fixed consideration component of our remaining performance obligations was approximately $16 million, and we expect approximately 94% of that amount to be recognized over the next 3 years and the remainder thereafter. We estimate remaining performance obligations at a point in time and actual amounts may differ from these estimates due to contract revisions or terminations.

6. Restructuring Charges

We engage in restructuring actions as part of our ongoing efforts to best use our resources and infrastructure. These actions generally include severance and impairment of real estate and equipment operating lease assets, and are intended to improve our efficiency and profitability going forward.

The following is a rollforward of the Company’s restructuring activity:


			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
(In millions)	Reserve Balance as of December 31, 2024		Charges Incurred		Payments		Reserve Balance as of September 30, 2025
Severance	$	5	$	12	$	(13)	$	4
Equipment and facilities	15		9		(6)		18

Total	$	20	$	21	$	(19)	$	22

We expect the majority of the cash outlays related to the remaining severance restructuring liability at September 30, 2025 to be completed within twelve months. Cash outlays related to the remaining equipment and facilities restructuring liability at September 30, 2025 will be completed over the remaining term of the impaired leases.

7. Debt

The following table summarizes the principal balance and carrying value of our debt:


	September 30, 2025				December 31, 2024
(In millions)	Principal Balance		Carrying Value		Principal Balance		Carrying Value

(1)The carrying value of the 7.50% Notes due 2027 is presented net of unamortized debt issuance cost and discount of $4 million and $6 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On October 18, 2022, we entered into a five-year, $500 million unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), with $50 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. Loans under the Revolver bear interest at a fluctuating rate plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s credit ratings, with interest payable quarterly. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on any unused commitment, based on pricing levels set forth in the agreement. The effective interest rate on the Revolver was 7.75% as of September 30, 2025.

On November 2, 2023, the Company exercised a feature to increase the total commitments under the Revolver from $500 million to $600 million.

The covenants in the Revolver are customary for financings of this type. The Revolver requires the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00:1.00. On August 8, 2024, the Company and lenders entered into an amendment, which, following the completion of the Coyote acquisition on September 16, 2024, increased the Company’s maximum consolidated leverage ratio to not greater than 4.50:1.00. At September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Revolver. There were no letters of credit outstanding on the Revolver at September 30, 2025.

In addition, the amendment extended, upon the completion date of the Coyote acquisition, the Revolver maturity date five years from the amendment date to September 16, 2029. To the extent there is more than $50 million of the Company’s Notes (as defined below) outstanding on the date that is 91 days prior to the earlier of the extended maturity date and the maturity date of the Notes, then the extended maturity date will be subject to a springing earlier maturity date that is 91 days prior to the earlier of the extended maturity date and the Notes maturity date, unless the Notes are refinanced or replaced with debt that matures at least 91 days after the extended maturity date.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $565 million committed under the Revolver, net of outstanding borrowings. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s available borrowing capacity under the Revolver, after giving effect to the financial covenants described above, was $383 million.

We also have a non-U.S. revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of approximately $16 million. This facility has a one-year term and we had $14 million outstanding as of September 30, 2025 classified as short-term debt.

Table of Contents

Notes

On October 25, 2022, we completed an offering of $355 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes (the “Notes” or the “7.50% Notes due 2027”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum payable semiannually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2023, and mature on November 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed, if applicable. The Notes were issued at an issue price of 98.962% of par. The effective interest rate on the Notes was 8.13% as of September 30, 2025.

We may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to (i) 103.750% of the principal amount to be redeemed if the redemption occurs during the 12-month period beginning on November 15, 2024, (ii) 101.875% of the principal amount to be redeemed if the redemption occurs during the 12-month period beginning on November 15, 2025 and (iii) 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed if the redemption occurs on or after November 15, 2026, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Notes are guaranteed by each of our direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries). The Notes and its guarantees are unsecured, senior indebtedness for us and our guarantors. The Notes contain covenants customary for debt securities of this nature. At September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Notes.

8. Fair Value Measurements

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;

•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 short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, due to their short-term nature and/or being receivable or payable on demand.

Debt

The fair value of our debt and classification in the fair value hierarchy is as follows:


(In millions)	Level	September 30, 2025		December 31, 2024
Revolver	3	$	35	$	—
7.50% Notes due 2027	1	363		365

We valued Level 1 debt using quoted prices in active markets. We valued Level 3 debt using unobservable inputs which reflect the Company’s best estimate of what hypothetical market participants would use to determine a transaction price for the asset or liability at the reporting date.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

In connection with the private placement common stock issuance completed in August 2024, a deemed non-pro rata distribution of $216 million was recorded within Other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, based on the difference between the issuance price and the closing market price of common stock on August 12, 2024, the effective date of the private placement.

On May 2, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $125 million of the Company’s common stock (the “2023 Share Repurchase Program”). During 2023, the Company repurchased 100,000 shares of its common stock for $2 million at an average price of $20.53 per share, funded by available cash. There were no share repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, $123 million remained approved to be used for share repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program. The 2023 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares or use a specific dollar amount of the approved and remaining $123 million.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous proceedings arising out of the conduct of our business. These proceedings may include claims for property damage or personal injury incurred in connection with the transportation of freight, environmental liability, commercial disputes, and employment-related claims, including claims involving asserted breaches of employee restrictive covenants. These matters also include several class action and collective action cases involving claims that the contract carriers with which we contract for performance of delivery services, or their delivery workers, should be treated as employees, rather than independent contractors (“misclassification claims”). Plaintiffs in such cases may seek substantial monetary damages (including claims for unpaid wages, overtime, unreimbursed business expenses, deductions from wages, penalties and other items), injunctive relief, or both.

Table of Contents

We establish 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. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, we assess 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, we disclose the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or disclose 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 our assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter.

We believe that we have adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which we are presently a party will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. 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 our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Legal costs incurred related to these matters are expensed as incurred.

We carry liability and excess umbrella insurance policies that we deem sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting our operations as a transportation company. The liability and excess umbrella insurance policies generally do not cover the misclassification claims described in this note. In the event we are required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition could be negatively impacted.

Our last mile subsidiary is involved in several class action and collective action cases involving misclassification claims. The misclassification claims relate solely to our last mile business, which operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of XPO until the spin-off of RXO was completed.

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement between XPO and RXO, the liabilities of XPO’s last mile subsidiary, including legal liabilities, if any, related to the misclassification claims, were spun-off as part of RXO as of November 1, 2022. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, RXO has agreed to indemnify XPO for certain matters relating to RXO, including indemnifying XPO from and against any liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses incurred by XPO arising out of or resulting from the misclassification claims.

In one of the misclassification claims, Gonzalez v. RXO Last Mile, Inc., we recently reached an agreement to settle the matter for an immaterial amount without admitting any liability. We have accrued the full amount of the settlement.

We continue to believe the other misclassification claims are without merit and we intend to defend the Company vigorously in these matters. We do not believe that the incurrence of a loss is probable at this time and, accordingly, we have not accrued for any losses in these matters. Further, the plaintiffs have not quantified damages sought in the misclassification claims and we are unable at this time to determine the amount of the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that we may incur as a result of the other misclassification claims.

Business Overview

Our truck brokerage business has a history of generating robust free cash flow conversion and a high return on invested capital. Shippers create demand for our service, and we place their freight with qualified independent carriers using our technology. We price our service on either a contract or a spot basis.

Notable factors that enable volume growth in our business include our ability to access massive truckload capacity for shippers through our carrier relationships; our proprietary, cutting-edge technology; our strong management expertise; and favorable long-term industry tailwinds.

We provide our customers with highly efficient access to capacity through our digital brokerage technology. This proprietary platform is a major differentiator for our truck brokerage business, and together with our pricing technology, we believe it can unlock incremental profitable growth. Our complementary services for managed transportation and last mile also utilize our digital brokerage technology.

Table of Contents

Our managed transportation service provides asset-light solutions for shippers who outsource their freight transportation to gain reliability, visibility and cost savings. The service uses proprietary technology to enhance our revenue synergy, with cross-selling to truck brokerage and last mile. Our managed transportation offering includes bespoke load planning and procurement, complex solutions tailored to specific challenges, performance monitoring, engineering and data analytics, among other services. Our control tower solution leverages the expertise of a dedicated team focused on continuous improvement, and digital, door-to-door visibility into order status and freight in transit. In addition, we offer technology-enabled managed expedite services that automate transportation procurement for time-critical freight moved by road and air charter carriers. We also offer freight forwarding services, including facilitation of ocean and air transportation, customs brokerage and additional domestic services.

Our last mile offering is an asset-light service that facilitates consumer deliveries performed by highly qualified third-party contractors. We are the largest provider of outsourced last mile transportation for heavy goods in the U.S., positioned within 125 miles of the vast majority of the U.S. population and serving a customer base of omnichannel and e-commerce retailers and direct-to-consumer manufacturers.

The Coyote Acquisition

On September 16, 2024 (the “acquisition date”), the Company acquired the technology-driven, asset-light based truckload freight brokerage services business, as well as certain assets used to conduct haulage, dedicated transport and warehousing services in the United Kingdom (collectively, “Coyote”), from United Parcel Service of America, Inc. (“UPS”) and certain subsidiaries of UPS. We acquired Coyote for $1.038 billion in cash, subject to certain additional customary adjustments. The purchase price was subsequently increased by $10 million for working capital and other post-closing adjustments, which was paid in the first quarter of 2025. Refer to Note 3—Acquisition to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for disclosures regarding the Company’s acquisition of Coyote.

Impact of Inflation

Economic inflation can have a negative impact on our operating costs, and any economic recession could depress activity levels and adversely affect our results of operations. 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. Generally, inflationary increases in labor and operating costs related to our operations have historically been offset through price increases. However, the pricing environment generally becomes more competitive during economic downturns, which may, as it has in the past, affect our ability to obtain price increases from customers both during and following such periods.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

Revenue increased by 36.6% to $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2025, compared with $1.0 billion for the same quarter in 2024. The year-over-year increase in revenue in the third quarter of 2025 was driven by (i) a $384 million increase in truck brokerage revenue, primarily as a result of the Coyote acquisition and (ii) a $37 million increase in last mile revenue, primarily as a result of a 12% increase in volume. This was partially offset by a $14 million decrease in revenue in our managed transportation business, driven primarily by a decrease in expedite automotive volume.

Cost of transportation and services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the third quarter of 2025 was $1.1 billion, or 80.0% of revenue, compared with $809 million, or 77.8% of revenue in the same quarter in 2024. The $328 million increase is primarily attributable to a full quarter of Coyote activity in the third quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase as a percentage of revenue during the third quarter of 2025 was driven primarily by (i) a 0.4 percentage point increase in truck brokerage cost of transportation and services as a percentage of revenue as the market tightened during the third quarter of 2025, with capacity rapidly exiting in certain regions driven primarily by regulatory changes and enforcement, which caused buy rates to increase faster than our contractual sell rates and (ii) a 2.2 percentage point increase in last mile cost of transportation and services as a percentage of revenue as a result of freight mix changes.

Table of Contents

Direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) of $48 million in the third quarter of 2025 decreased $1 million, or 2.0%, from $49 million in the same quarter in 2024. As a percentage of revenue, direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased to 3.4% in the third quarter of 2025 compared with 4.7% in the same quarter in 2024 driven primarily by cost reduction initiatives and improved leverage as a result of increased scale due to the Coyote acquisition.

SG&A of $208 million in the third quarter of 2025 increased $59 million, or 39.6%, from $149 million in the third quarter of 2024, primarily attributable to a full quarter of Coyote activity in the third quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased to 14.6% in the third quarter of 2025 compared with 14.3% for the same quarter in 2024 driven primarily by an increase in purchased services and legal expense between periods.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the third quarter of 2025 was $26 million, compared with $21 million for the same quarter in 2024. Depreciation and amortization expense for the third quarter of 2025 included an increase of $7 million attributable to a full quarter of Coyote activity in the third quarter of 2025.

Transaction and integration costs for the third quarter of 2025 was $5 million, compared with $30 million for the same quarter in 2024. Transaction and integration costs for the third quarter of 2025 and 2024 included $4 million and $29 million, respectively, attributable to the Coyote acquisition.

Restructuring costs for the third quarter of 2025 and 2024 were $4 million and $2 million, respectively, and primarily comprised severance costs and operating lease impairment costs.

Other expense for the third quarter of 2024 included a one-time charge of $216 million representing a deemed non-pro rata distribution in connection with the private placement common stock issuance completed in August 2024.

Our effective income tax rates were 9.2% and (0.4)% for the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rates for the third quarter of 2025 and 2024 were calculated using the discrete method. Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2025 differs from the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of nondeductible expenses when experiencing a pre-tax loss. Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 differs from the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of large non-deductible tax items associated with the Coyote acquisition and related common stock issuances.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024

Revenue increased by 48.2% to $4.3 billion in the first nine months of 2025, compared with $2.9 billion for the same period in 2024. The year-over-year increase in revenue in the first nine months of 2025 was driven by (i) a $1.4 billion increase in truck brokerage revenue, primarily as a result of the Coyote acquisition and (ii) a $133 million increase in last mile revenue, primarily as a result of an 18% increase in volume. This was partially offset by a $43 million decrease in revenue in our managed transportation business, driven primarily by a decrease in expedite automotive volume.

Cost of transportation and services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the first nine months of 2025 was $3.4 billion, or 79.8% of revenue, compared with $2.2 billion, or 76.6% of revenue in the same period in 2024. The $1.2 billion increase is primarily attributable to a full nine months of Coyote activity in 2025. The year-over-year increase as a percentage of revenue in the first nine months of 2025 was driven primarily by (i) a 0.5 percentage point increase in truck brokerage cost of transportation and services as a percentage of revenue, as lower customer freight rates were not fully offset by corresponding reductions in cost of purchased transportation during the current year and (ii) a 2.4 percentage point increase in last mile cost of transportation and services as a percentage of revenue as a result of freight mix changes.

Direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) of $143 million in the first nine months of 2025 decreased $9 million, or 5.9%, from $152 million in the same period in 2024. As a percentage of revenue, direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased to 3.3% in the first nine months of 2025 compared with 5.3% in the same period of 2024 driven primarily by cost reduction initiatives and improved leverage as a result of increased scale due to the Coyote acquisition.

SG&A of $632 million in the first nine months of 2025 increased $184 million, or 41.1%, from $448 million in the same period in 2024, primarily attributable to a full nine months of Coyote activity in 2025. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A decreased to 14.8% in the first nine months of 2025 compared with 15.5% for the same period in 2024 driven primarily by improved leverage as a result of increased scale due to the Coyote acquisition, as well as cost savings from restructuring actions.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the first nine months of 2025 was $88 million, compared with $54 million for the same period in 2024. Depreciation and amortization expense for the first nine months of 2025 included an increase of $33 million attributable to a full nine months of Coyote activity in 2025.

Transaction and integration costs for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024 were $18 million and $38 million, respectively. Transaction and integration costs for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024 included $15 million and $35 million, respectively, attributable to the Coyote acquisition.

Restructuring costs for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024 were $21 million and $15 million, respectively, and primarily comprised severance costs and operating lease impairment costs.

Other expense for the first nine months of 2024 included a one-time charge of $216 million representing a deemed non-pro rata distribution in connection with the private placement common stock issuance completed in August 2024.

Our effective income tax rates were 16.0% and 2.2% for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rates for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024 were calculated using the discrete method. Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2025 differs from the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of nondeductible expenses when experiencing a pre-tax loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our ability to fund our operations and anticipated capital needs are reliant upon the generation of cash from operations, supplemented as necessary by utilization of our revolving credit facility. Our principal uses of cash in the future will be primarily to fund our operations, working capital needs, capital expenditures, repayment of borrowings, share repurchases and strategic business development transactions. The timing and magnitude of our growth and working capital needs can vary and may positively or negatively impact our cash flows.

We continually evaluate our liquidity requirements and capital structure 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 and thereafter, for the foreseeable future.

Capital Expenditures

Our 2025 capital expenditures include capital associated with strategic investments in technology, equipment and real estate. The level and the timing of the Company’s capital expenditures within these categories can vary as a result of a variety of factors outside of our control, such as the timing of new contracts and availability of labor and equipment. We believe that we have significant discretion over the amount and timing of our capital expenditures as we are not subject to any agreement that would require significant capital expenditures on a designated schedule or upon the occurrence of designated events.

Debt and Financing Arrangements

We were in compliance with all covenants and other provisions of our outstanding debt and financing arrangements as of September 30, 2025. Any failure to comply with any material provision or covenant of these agreements could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and operations. Refer to Note 7—Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for disclosures regarding the Company’s debt and financing arrangements as of September 30, 2025.

Financial Condition

Our asset and liability balances are summarized as follows:


(In millions)	September 30, 2025		December 31, 2024		$ Change		% Change
Total current assets	$	1,201	$	1,339	$	(138)	(10.3)	%
Total long-term assets	2,000		2,075		(75)		(3.6)	%
Total current liabilities	907		1,065		(158)		(14.8)	%
Total long-term liabilities	714		737		(23)		(3.1)	%

Total assets decreased by $213 million from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025, primarily due to (i) a $123 million decrease in accounts receivable as a result of a decrease in revenue in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, (ii) a $36 million decrease in identifiable intangible assets as a result of amortization and (iii) a $22 million decrease in operating lease assets as a result of amortization. Total liabilities decreased by $181 million from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025, primarily due to (i) a decrease in third-party transportation costs in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 and (ii) a $17 million decrease in short-term and long-term operating lease liabilities as a result of amortization. These decreases were partially offset by a $36 million increase in long-term debt and obligations under finance leases.

Cash Flow Activity

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are summarized as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2025		2024		$ Change
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	44	$	(5)	$	49
Net cash used in investing activities	(56)		(1,052)		996
Net cash provided by financing activities	1		1,107		(1,106)
Effect of exchange rates on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	2		—		2
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(9)	$	50	$	(59)

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2025 was $44 million compared with $5 million used in the same period in 2024. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher income and working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2025 was $56 million compared with $1.1 billion in the same period in 2024. The primary uses of cash in the first nine months of 2025 were (i) $43 million for purchases of property and equipment and (ii) $10 million paid related to the Coyote acquisition for working capital and post-closing adjustments. The primary uses of cash in the first nine months of 2024 were (i) $1.0 billion for the acquisition of Coyote, net of cash acquired and (ii) $33 million for purchases of property and equipment. The increase in purchases of property and equipment was driven primarily by strategic real estate investments in 2025.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2025 was $1 million compared with $1.1 billion in the same period in 2024. The primary source of cash in the first nine months of 2025 was $33 million in net proceeds from borrowings on revolving credit facilities, partially offset by $20 million in payments for tax withholdings primarily attributable to the vesting of stock compensation awards held by non-RXO employees at the spin which are now substantially complete. The primary source of cash in the first nine months of 2024 was $1.1 billion in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock used to fund the acquisition of Coyote.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies, which include management’s most subjective and complex estimates and judgments, are included in Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the 2024 Form 10-K. A discussion of accounting estimates, considered critical because of the potential for a significant impact on the financial statements due to the inherent uncertainty in such estimates, are disclosed in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2024.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, interest rates and the price of diesel fuel purchased by third-party carriers who perform the physical freight movements we arrange. There have been no material changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk related to our continuing operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk described in the 2024 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025, such that the information required to be included in our SEC reports is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to RXO, including our consolidated subsidiaries; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as described below, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting. During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we completed the control integration for our 2024 acquisition of Coyote.
