RXO Grows Revenue 57%, Reports Larger Quarterly Loss
RXO, the Charlotte-based asset-light transportation provider, reported a substantial increase in revenue for the first quarter, up 57% to $1.43 billion, compared to $913 million a year earlier. Despite this growth, the company faced a net loss of $31 million, widening from a $15 million loss in the same quarter of the previous year. This loss included significant costs associated with transaction and integration efforts, primarily related to the integration of Coyote Logistics.
CEO Drew Wilkerson highlighted the progress made in unifying operations on the Freight Optimizer platform, which is expected to enhance the efficiency of both carrier and coverage operations. This migration is yielding positive early results, demonstrating stability in technology and faster collaboration within the carrier operations team than anticipated. The company is also working on integrating legacy Coyote customers into the new system, with expectations to complete the bulk of technology integration by the end of the third quarter.
Market conditions improved over the quarter, allowing RXO to reduce transportation costs and increase gross profit per load. Truck brokerage revenue surged by nearly 90%, while volumes saw a slight decline overall. Notably, the less-than-truckload segment grew, compensating for declines in full truckload volumes. Complementary services also saw moderate growth, particularly in last-mile deliveries.
In terms of future developments, leveraging technology effectively will be crucial for RXO to enhance service offerings and profitability, especially in an evolving transportation landscape. The focus on integrating operations and optimizing routes will likely provide RXO with a competitive edge, allowing the company to better meet customer demands in an increasingly dynamic market.
