RXO Reports Q4 2025 Results and Provides Q1 2026 Outlook
RXO
Earnings
Guidance Update
Demand Weakening
  • RXO reported Q4 2025 total revenue of $1.5 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $17 million, resulting in an adjusted loss per share of $0.07. This performance was below expectations, primarily due to a brokerage margin squeeze driven by a 15% month-over-month increase in industry-wide buy rates in December and continued soft demand.
  • The company finalized a new $450 million asset-based lending (ABL) facility, replacing its previous revolver, which is expected to decrease costs and provide increased financial flexibility. RXO also achieved a 43% adjusted free cash flow conversion for the full year 2025, aligning with its long-term target range.
  • For Q1 2026, RXO anticipates Adjusted EBITDA between $5 million and $12 million and expects brokerage gross margin to be between 11% and 13%. The outlook reflects continued weak freight demand and elevated purchased transportation costs, although the company expects truckload volume to resume year-over-year outperformance by mid-2026.
  • Strategic initiatives include a more than 50% year-over-year growth in the late-stage brokerage sales pipeline and over $200 million in freight under management awarded in Q4. RXO has also implemented cost structure optimizations, taking out over $155 million in costs since becoming a standalone company.

RXO Discusses Coyote Integration, Market Dynamics, and AI Strategy
RXO
M&A
Demand Weakening
New Projects/Investments
  • RXO has materially completed the integration of Coyote within 12 months, unifying its operations and technology, establishing itself as the third largest provider of brokered transportation in North America.
  • Despite a prolonged soft freight demand environment (Cass freight shipments down 7% year over year in October 2025), market dynamics show increasing tender rejections and spot rates due to significant supply reduction.
  • Recent regulatory changes in 2025, such as English language proficiency requirements and rules on non-domiciled CDLs, have led to a substantial reduction in market capacity, with 200,000 CDLs identified at risk and 17,000 non-domiciled CDLs revoked in California.
  • RXO expects to achieve 1% in purchased transportation (PT) savings on its $4 billion brokerage PT spend, having already realized 30 to 50 basis points since May 2025, with a target of 100 basis points by May 2026.
  • The company invests over $100 million annually in technology and AI, which has contributed to a 38% increase in productivity over the last two years, aiming to enhance incremental margins.

RXO
M&A
Guidance Update
New Projects/Investments
  • RXO has materially completed the integration of its Coyote acquisition as of December 2025, positioning it as the third largest provider of brokered transportation in North America. This integration is expected to leverage increased scale to reduce costs and diversify its market mix.
  • While the Coyote integration was operationally successful and on schedule, financial results in 2025 were below expectations due to a softer market and aggressive pricing actions.
  • The company anticipates achieving 1% in purchased transportation (PT) savings on its $4 billion brokerage PT spend, with 30 to 50 basis points already realized and the full 100 basis points expected by May 2026.
  • Significant regulatory changes in 2025 regarding driver qualifications have reduced market capacity, which RXO believes will lead to a lower supply environment and potentially higher rates for longer in the future, benefiting large brokers.
  • RXO is leveraging AI to improve productivity, which has increased by 38% over the last two years, aiming to enhance incremental margins and grow volume without a proportional increase in headcount.

  • Despite a prolonged soft freight environment in 2025, with Cass freight shipments down 7% year over year in October, key freight indicators like tender rejections and spot rates have been rising due to supply constraints.
  • Regulatory changes in 2025 concerning CDLs have significantly reduced market capacity, which RXO views as a long-term positive for large brokers, potentially leading to a lower supply environment and higher rates.
  • RXO invests over $100 million annually in technology, including AI, which has boosted productivity by 38% over the last two years and is expected to enhance margins and improve SG&A.
  • The company expects to achieve 100 basis points of incremental buy rate favorability on its $4 billion purchased transportation spend by May 2026, having already realized 30 to 50 basis points since the carrier cutover on May 1st.

RXO Discusses Prolonged Soft Freight Market, Q4 Outlook, and Coyote Integration Benefits
RXO
Guidance Update
Demand Weakening
M&A
  • RXO reports a prolonged soft rate market, with Cass Freight Shipments down 7% year over year in October 2025, approaching Great Financial Crisis lows from 2008.
  • The company's Q4 outlook projects adjusted EBITDA between $20 million and $30 million, reflecting a muted peak season and rising costs of purchased transportation, which offsets positive truckload volume growth.
  • Structural changes in the freight market, including the FMCSA potentially removing 200,000 non-domiciled CDLs, are tightening supply and are seen as positive for large-scale brokers like RXO in the long term.
  • RXO has achieved $155 million in annualized operating expense reductions, including $60 million from Coyote, and expects an additional $30-$35 million in annualized cost benefits in 2026. The Coyote integration is largely complete, and RXO anticipates 100 basis points of incremental buy rate favorability by May 2026.
  • Despite underperforming in truckload volume growth in 2025 (e.g., Q3 down 12%), RXO expects automotive to cease being a material headwind in Q1 2026 and aims to resume market outperformance as a fully integrated company.

Guidance Update
Demand Weakening
M&A
  • RXO projects Q4 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $20 million-$30 million, noting that while truckload volumes are expected to grow sequentially, rising purchased transportation costs and slowing last-mile demand will mute the typical seasonal uplift.
  • The freight market is experiencing a prolonged soft rate environment, but supply-side tightening is evident due to structural and regulatory changes, with an estimated 200,000 non-domiciled CDLs potentially exiting the market.
  • RXO has achieved $155 million in annualized operating expense reductions since its spin-off, including $60 million from Coyote, and expects a $30-$35 million year-on-year tailwind in 2026 from these cost takeouts and synergies. The company also aims for 100 basis points of incremental buy rate favorability by May 2026 from the Coyote integration.
  • Despite underperforming in truckload volume growth in 2025 (e.g., Q3 down 12%), RXO anticipates automotive headwinds to become immaterial in Q1 2026 and truckload comps to ease in Q2 2026, positioning the company for market outperformance. RXO also invests over $100 million annually in technology and has achieved 38% productivity growth over the past two years, with significant potential from AI.
