XPO Logistics Announces First Quarter 2017 Results

ID: 540155

(Thomson Reuters ONE) -






 Achieved significant margin improvement in both transportation and logistics

Closed a record $716 million of new business in the quarter


GREENWICH, Conn. - May 3, 2017 - XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO) today announced
financial results for the first quarter 2017. Revenue was $3.54 billion for the
quarter, compared with $3.55 billion for the same period in 2016. Revenue
increased year-over-year by $122.6 million excluding the first quarter 2016
revenue from the North American truckload unit divested in October 2016. Net
income attributable to common shareholders was $19.5 million for the quarter, or
earnings of $0.16 per diluted share, compared with a net loss attributable to
common shareholders of $23.2 million, or a loss of $0.21 per diluted share, for
the same period in 2016.

Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders, a non-GAAP financial
measure, was $37.9 million, or adjusted earnings of $0.30 per diluted share for
the first quarter of 2017, excluding the items detailed below. This compares
with an adjusted net loss attributable to common shareholders of $9.3 million,
or an adjusted loss of $0.08 per diluted share, for the same period in 2016.
Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are provided
in the attached financial tables.

The adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter
excludes: $21.0 million, or $13.3 million after-tax, of integration and
rebranding costs; $11.9 million, or $7.4 million after-tax, from unrealized
losses on foreign currency contracts; and $9.0 million, or $5.6 million after-
tax, of debt extinguishment costs related to the refinancing of an existing term
loan; and a tax benefit of $5.8 million primarily related to state tax planning
initiatives.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization




("adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure, improved to $290.0 million
for the quarter, excluding $21.0 million of integration and rebranding costs.
This reflects a 16% increase over $249.3 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same
period in 2016.

For the first three months of 2017, cash flow from operations was $15.0 million,
and free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was cash usage of $86.9
million.

Reaffirms Financial Targets

The company reaffirmed its full year targets for adjusted EBITDA of at least
$1.35 billion for 2017 and at least $1.575 billion for 2018.

The company also reaffirmed its 2017-2018 cumulative free cash flow target of
approximately $900 million, including at least $350 million of free cash flow
generated in 2017.

CEO Comments

Bradley Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of XPO Logistics, said, "We
started the year on a strong note by solidly beating our expectations for
earnings, and continuing to expand margins in both transportation and logistics.
In North American less-than-truckload, we increased operating income by a robust
49%, in part by running our line-haul, cross-dock and pickup-and-delivery
operations more efficiently. Our market-leading position in e-commerce continued
to drive growth in last mile and contract logistics, and our intermodal unit won
the largest contract in any business line in XPO history."

Jacobs continued, "We anticipate that our performance will remain on a
trajectory of high growth and high returns. We have a larger, more integrated
sales organization feeding active bids into our $3 billion pipeline. The $716
million of sales we closed through March was a first quarter record for our
company, up significantly from $429 million a year ago. Our global procurement
team has already achieved $80 million of annual savings, and we're using our
technology to better utilize our labor and capacity - all while helping our
customers manage their supply chains more efficiently."

First Quarter 2017 Results by Segment

* Transportation: The company's transportation segment generated revenue
of $2.28 billion for the quarter, compared with $2.30 billion for the same
period in 2016, reflecting the divestiture of the North American truckload
unit on October 27, 2016. The divested operations contributed $128.8 million
of revenue in the first quarter of 2016. Organic revenue growth for the
segment was led by last mile and truck brokerage, partially offset by lower
revenue in expedited and global forwarding, and unfavorable foreign exchange
rates.

Operating income for the transportation segment increased to $100.8 million,
compared with operating income of $75.4 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for
the segment improved by 13.4%, after absorbing the negative impact of EBITDA
divested with the truckload unit. The increases in operating income and adjusted
EBITDA were primarily due to a 390 basis point improvement in adjusted operating
margin in the North American less-than-truckload unit, as well as growth in
North American last mile and European transportation.

* Logistics: The company's logistics segment generated total revenue of $1.30
billion for the quarter, compared with $1.26 billion for the same period in
2016. The year-over-year increase in revenue was primarily due to growth in
contract logistics in Europe, notably e-commerce and cold chain contracts in
the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Italy. This was partially offset by
the unfavorable impact of currency fluctuations, particularly with the
British pound sterling. In North America, growth was largely driven by gains
in the e-commerce, food and beverage, and industrial sectors, partially
offset by a decline in managed transportation revenue.

Operating income for the logistics segment increased to $47.2 million, compared
with $31.9 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment improved to $98.8
million, compared with $87.8 million a year ago. The increases in operating
income and adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to revenue growth, productivity
improvements in European contract logistics and SG&A cost reduction in North
American contract logistics.

* Corporate: Corporate SG&A expense was $34.4 million for the quarter,
compared with $44.9 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in
corporate expense primarily reflects lower integration costs year-over-year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under
the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted
EBITDA for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017, on
a consolidated basis and for our transportation and logistics segments; free
cash flow for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017;
adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders and adjusted
earnings (loss) per share (basic and diluted) ("adjusted EPS") for the three-
month periods ended March 31, 2016, and March 31, 2017; net revenue for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 for our
transportation and logistics segments; and adjusted operating income for our
North American less-than-truckload business for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017.

We believe that the above adjusted financial measures facilitate analysis of our
ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be
reflective of, or are unrelated to, XPO and its business segments' core
operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior
periods and assessing trends in our underlying businesses. These adjustments are
consistent with how management views our businesses. Management uses these non-
GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions
and evaluating XPO's and each business segment's ongoing performance.

Accordingly, we believe that free cash flow is an important measure of our
ability to repay maturing debt or fund other uses of capital that we believe
will enhance stockholder value. We believe that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA
improve comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our
capital structure (interest and financing expenses), asset base (depreciation
and amortization), tax impacts and other adjustments as set out in the attached
tables that management has determined are not reflective of normalized operating
activities. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments for acquisition costs and
related integration and rebranding initiatives. Transaction and integration
adjustments are generally incremental costs that result from an acquisition and
include transaction costs, restructuring costs, acquisition and integration
consulting fees, internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are
assigned full-time to integration activities) and certain costs related to
integrating and converting IT systems. Rebranding adjustments relate primarily
to the rebranding of the XPO Logistics name on our truck fleet and buildings. We
believe that adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders and
adjusted EPS improve the comparability of our operating results from period to
period by removing the impact of certain costs and gains incurred in the
reporting period as set out in the attached tables.  We believe that net revenue
improves the comparability of our operating results from period to period by
removing the cost of transportation and services, in particular the cost of
fuel, incurred in the reporting period as set out in the attached tables. We
believe that adjusted operating income for our North American less-than-
truckload business improves the comparability of our operating results from
period to period by removing the impact of certain transaction, integration and
rebranding costs and amortization and depreciation expenses incurred in the
reporting period as set out in the attached tables.

Other companies may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently, and
therefore our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of
other companies. Free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income
(loss) attributable to common shareholders, adjusted EPS, net revenue and
adjusted operating income for our North American less-than-truckload business
are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not
be considered in isolation or as an alternative to revenue, net income,
operating income for our North American less-than-truckload business, cash flows
provided (used) by operating activities and other measures determined in
accordance with GAAP. Items excluded from EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are
significant and necessary components of the operations of our business, and,
therefore, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should only be used as a supplemental
measure of our operating performance.

As required by SEC rules, we provide reconciliations of these historical
measures to the most directly comparable measure under United States generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which are set forth in the financial
tables attached to this document. With respect to our 2017 and 2018 financial
targets of adjusted EBITDA and our 2017 and 2017-2018 cumulative targets for
free cash flow, each of which is a non-GAAP measure, a reconciliation of the
non-GAAP measure to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without
unreasonable effort due to the variability and complexity of the reconciling
items described below that we exclude from the non-GAAP target measure. The
variability of these items may have a significant impact on our future GAAP
financial results and, as a result, we are unable to prepare the forward-looking
balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in
accordance with GAAP that would be required to produce such a reconciliation.

Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the

compliance laws; and governmental or political actions, including the United
Kingdom's likely exit from the European Union. All forward-looking statements
set forth in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements and
there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by
us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the
expected consequences to or effects on us or our business or operations.

date hereof, and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking
statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, changes in
expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent
