Consistent with SEC rules and regulations, we have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. You should read the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05 that amends
ASC 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
. The guidance provides a practical expedient that permits an entity to estimate expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions accounted for under ASC 606 by assuming current economic conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change over the remaining life of the asset. We elected the practical expedient in ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026 and applied the guidance prospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
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 ASU modernizes the accounting for internal‑use software by eliminating the previous software project stage model and replacing it with a principles‑based capitalization threshold. Under the new guidance, entities begin capitalizing internal‑use software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will perform its intended function. The guidance is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may adopt the ASU prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our accounting policies, related capitalization practices, disclosures, and consolidated financial statements.
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
, which requires entities to disaggregate specified natural expense categories within each relevant expense caption presented on the income statement using a tabular footnote disclosure. The guidance also requires disclosure of qualitative descriptions for any amounts within those captions that are not separately quantified. The guidance in this ASU is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities may adopt the standard either prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment on November 30, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying value (“Step Zero Analysis”). If the Step Zero Analysis indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying value, an additional impairment assessment is performed (“Step One Analysis”). As part of our 2025 annual impairment test, we determined that the fair value of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values and our goodwill balance was not impaired.
There were no changes in circumstances or events identified in the first quarter of 2026 that would indicate an interim impairment analysis was required for any of our remaining reporting units as of March 31, 2026.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•
Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
•
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
We may seek to manage our exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of foreign currency forward contracts. Foreign currency forward contracts are accounted for at fair value with the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, and changes in fair value recognized in interest and other income/expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. These contracts are accounted for as non-designated hedges pursuant to ASC Topic 815,
“Derivatives and Hedging.”
Foreign currency forward contracts are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured using market-based rates. The impact of foreign currency forward contracts was not material as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
We had
no
other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that were classified as Level 2 or Level 3 as of and during the periods ended March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. There were no transfers between levels during the period.

SENIOR UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
We have a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with a total availability of $
1
billion, which may be reduced by standby letters of credit. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of November 19, 2027. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate determined by a pricing schedule or the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the administrative agent's prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus
0.50
percent, or (c) the sum of one-month SOFR plus a specified margin). As of March 31, 2026, the variable rate equaled SOFR plus
1.00
percent. In addition, there is a commitment fee on the average daily undrawn stated amount under the facility ranging from
0.07
percent to
0.15
percent. The recorded amount of borrowings outstanding, if any, approximates fair value because of the short maturity period of the debt; therefore, we consider these borrowings to be a Level 2 financial liability.
The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio of
3.75
to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

Table of Contents
NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On August 23, 2013, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”). On August 27, 2013, the Purchasers purchased an aggregate principal amount of $
500
million of our Senior Notes Series A, Senior Notes Series B, and Senior Notes Series C (collectively, the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The fair value of the Notes approximated $
310.1
million on March 31, 2026. We estimate the fair value of the Notes primarily using an expected present value technique, which is based on observable market inputs using interest rates currently available to companies of similar credit standing for similar terms and remaining maturities and considering our own risk. If the Notes were recorded at fair value, they would be classified as a Level 2 financial liability. Senior Notes Series A matured in August 2023.
The Note Purchase Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio of
3.50
to 1.00, a minimum interest coverage ratio of
2.00
to 1.00, and a maximum consolidated priority debt to consolidated total asset ratio of
10
percent.
The Note Purchase Agreement provides for customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default would permit certain Purchasers to declare certain Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at
100
percent of the principal amount being redeemed together with a “make-whole amount” (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to each Note. The obligations of the company under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes are guaranteed by C.H. Robinson Company, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, and by C.H. Robinson Company, Inc., a Minnesota corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. On November 21, 2022, we executed the third amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement to among other things, facilitate the terms of the Credit Agreement.
U.S. TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION
On November 19, 2021, we entered into a receivables purchase agreement and related transaction documents with Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to provide a receivables securitization facility (the “Receivables Securitization Facility”). The Receivables Securitization Facility is based on the securitization of a portion of our U.S. trade accounts receivable with a total availability of $
500
million as of March 31, 2026. The interest rate on borrowings under the Receivables Securitization Facility is based on SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of
0.10
percent plus
0.80
percent. In addition, there is a commitment fee on the average daily undrawn stated amount under the facility of
0.20
percent.
The recorded amount of borrowings outstanding under the Receivables Securitization Facility approximates fair value because it can be redeemed on short notice and the interest rate floats. We consider these borrowings to be a Level 2 financial liability.
The Receivables Securitization Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, and it also contains customary default and termination provisions, which provide for acceleration of amounts owed under the Receivables Securitization Facility upon the occurrence of certain specified events.
On August 12, 2025, we amended the Receivables Securitization Facility to extend the termination date of the facility to August 12, 2027. The total available remains $
500
million, and we have the option to utilize an accordion feature, if needed, of an additional $
250
million pursuant to the provisions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, amended by the Receivables Purchase Amendment.
SENIOR NOTES
On April 9, 2018, we issued senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”) through a public offering. The Senior Notes bear an annual interest rate of
4.20
percent payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, until maturity on April 15, 2028. Taking into effect the amortization of the original issue discount and all underwriting and issuance expenses, the Senior Notes have an effective yield to maturity of approximately
4.39
percent per annum. The fair value of the Senior Notes, excluding debt discounts and issuance costs, approximated $
595.8
million as of March 31, 2026, based primarily on the market prices quoted from external sources. The carrying value of the Senior Notes was $
598.0
million as of March 31, 2026.
We may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to their maturity at the applicable redemption prices described in the Senior Notes. Upon the occurrence of a “change of control triggering event” as defined in the Senior Notes (generally, a change of control of us accompanied by a reduction in the credit rating for the Senior Notes), we will generally be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes from holders at
101
percent of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
The Senior Notes were issued under an indenture that contains covenants imposing certain limitations on our ability to incur liens; enter into sales and leaseback transactions above certain limits; and consolidate, merge, or transfer substantially all of our
10
Table of Contents
assets and those of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. It also provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include among other things nonpayment, breach of covenants in the indenture, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. If an event of default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Senior Notes, the trustee or holders of at least
25
percent in principal amount outstanding of the Senior Notes may declare the principal and the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the outstanding Senior Notes to be due and payable. These covenants and events of default are subject to a number of important qualifications, limitations, and exceptions that are described in the indenture. The indenture does not contain any financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity to which we must adhere.
In addition to the above financing agreements, we have a $
35
million discretionary line of credit with U.S. Bank of which $
26.7
million is utilized for standby letters of credit related to insurance collateral as of March 31, 2026. These standby letters of credit are renewed annually and were undrawn as of March 31, 2026.

Certain foreign jurisdictions in which we operate have enacted legislation implementing elements of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Pillar Two global minimum tax framework, which generally provides for a minimum tax rate of 15 percent on large multinational enterprises. We are subject to these rules in certain jurisdictions, and any resulting tax impacts have been reflected in the income tax provision for the periods presented.
As of March 31, 2026, we have $
38.0
million of unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to audits of U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax returns before 2022.

On May 5, 2022, our shareholders approved a 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), authorizing the issuance of up to

shares pursuant to awards granted under the Plan. On May 8, 2025, the Plan was amended and restated, and our shareholders approved an increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance by
4,000,000
. The Plan allows us to grant certain stock awards, including stock options at fair market value, performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) and shares, and time-based restricted stock units, to our key employees and non-employee directors. Shares subject to awards under the Plan or certain of our prior plans that expire or are canceled without delivery of shares or that are settled in cash generally may become available again for issuance under the Plan. There were
4,322,410
shares available for stock awards under the Plan as of March 31, 2026.

Table of Contents
Stock Options
–
We have awarded stock options to certain key employees that vest primarily based on their continued employment. These awards are fully vested and there is
no
remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options as of March 31, 2026. The outstanding options have expiration dates between 2026 and 2030. Although participants can exercise options via a stock swap exercise, we do not issue reloads (restoration options) on the grants.
Stock Awards
–
We have awarded performance-based restricted shares, PSUs, and time-based restricted stock units. Most of our awards granted prior to 2024 contain restrictions on the awardees’ ability to sell or transfer vested awards for a specified period of time. The fair value of these awards is established based on the market price on the date of grant, discounted for any post-vesting holding restrictions. The discounts on outstanding grants with post-vesting holding restrictions vary from
11
percent to
20
percent and are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model-protective put method. The duration of the restriction period to sell or transfer vested awards, changes in the measured stock price volatility and changes in interest rates are the primary reasons for changes in the discount. These grants are being expensed based on the terms of the awards.
Performance-based Awards
We have awarded PSUs on an annual basis to certain key employees. These PSUs vest over a
three-year
period based on the achievement of certain cumulative dilutive earnings per share targets. These PSUs contain an upside opportunity of up to
200
percent of target contingent upon obtaining certain targets mentioned above over their respective performance period.
Time-based Awards
We award time-based restricted stock units to certain key employees. These time-based awards are granted on an annual basis and vest over a
three-year
period. In 2023, we also granted retention awards, which vest over a
one-year
to
three-year
period. These awards vest primarily based on the passage of time and the employee’s continued employment.
We granted
247,793
PSUs at target and
292,406
time-based restricted stock units in February 2026 that vest over a
three-year
period. The PSUs will vest upon achieving cumulative
three-year
dilutive earnings per share targets and contain an upside opportunity of up to
200
percent. The PSUs and time-based restricted stock unit awards had a weighted average grant date fair value of $
197.73
and provide for
two-years
of post-termination vesting upon a qualified retirement.
We have also awarded restricted stock units to certain key employees and non-employee directors which are fully vested upon date of grant. These units contain restrictions on the awardees’ ability to sell or transfer vested units for a specified period of time. The fair value of these units is established using the same method discussed above. These awards have been expensed on the date of grant.
As of March 31, 2026, there was unrecognized compensation expense of $
241.8
million related to previously granted stock awards assuming maximum achievement is obtained on our PSUs. The amount of future expense to be recognized will be based on the passage of time and contingent upon obtaining certain targets mentioned above over their respective performance period.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
–
Our 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allows our employees to contribute up to $
10,000
of their annual cash compensation to purchase company stock. The purchase price is determined using the closing price on the last day of each quarter discounted by
15
percent. Shares vest immediately.

LITIGATION
We are not subject to any pending or threatened litigation other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business operations, including certain contingent auto liability cases. For some legal proceedings, we have accrued an amount that reflects the aggregate liability deemed probable and estimable, but this amount is not material to our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Because of the preliminary nature of many of these proceedings, the difficulty in ascertaining the applicable facts relating to many of these proceedings, the inconsistent treatment of claims made in many of these proceedings, and the difficulty of predicting the settlement value of many of these proceedings, we are often unable to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible additional losses. However, based upon our historical experience, the resolution of these proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 8.
SEGMENT REPORTING
Our segments are based on our method of internal reporting, which generally segregates the segments by service line and the primary services they provide to our customers. The internal reporting of segments is aligned with the reporting and review process used by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer. We do not report our intersegment revenues by segment to our CODM and do not believe they are a meaningful metric for evaluating the performance of our reportable segments.
Our CODM utilizes segment operating income as the primary measure to evaluate the performance of our reportable segments. Operating income is an important measure of our ability to optimize our cost structure through innovation of our proprietary operating systems and accelerating the capabilities of our workforce. It also guides the allocation of resources, including employees, technology investments, and capital resource investments to each segment. Additionally, operating income is also an important measure of our ability to maintain pricing discipline and drive profitable growth while effectively serving our customers and contract carriers. We consider operating income to be our primary performance metric. The review of segment performance and the allocation of resources occurs primarily in the annual budgeting process and through a regular cadence of operating reviews to monitor the progress of strategic initiatives included in our enterprise balanced scorecard. We identify
two
reportable segments with all other segments included in “All Other and Corporate” as follows:
•
North American Surface Transportation:
NAST provides freight transportation services across North America through a network of offices in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The primary services provided by NAST are truckload and less than truckload (“LTL”) transportation services.
•
Global Forwarding:
Global Forwarding provides global logistics services through an international network of offices in North America, Asia, Europe, Oceania, South America, and the Middle East and also contracts with independent agents worldwide. The primary services provided by Global Forwarding include ocean freight services, air freight services, and customs brokerage.
•
All Other and Corporate:
All Other and Corporate includes our Robinson Fresh and Managed Solutions segments, as well as Other Surface Transportation outside of North America and other miscellaneous revenues and unallocated corporate expenses. Robinson Fresh provides sourcing services including the buying, selling, and/or marketing of fresh fruits, vegetables, and other value-added perishable items. Managed Solutions provides Transportation Management Services, or Managed TMS. Other Surface Transportation revenues were primarily earned by our Europe Surface Transportation segment which was sold effective February 1, 2025. Europe Surface Transportation provided transportation and logistics services including truckload and LTL transportation services across Europe. Refer to Note 14,
Divestitures
, for further discussion related to the sale of our Europe Surface Transportation business.
The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies located in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Sourcing performance obligations are completed at a point in time.
We typically do not receive consideration, and amounts are not due from our customers, prior to the completion of our performance obligation. As such, contract liabilities were not significant as of March 31, 2026, and revenue recognized from contract liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was not significant. Contract assets and accrued expenses-transportation expense fluctuate from period to period primarily based upon changes in transportation pricing and costs and shipments in-transit at period end.
NOTE 10.
LEASES
We determine if our contractual agreements contain a lease at inception. A lease is identified when a contract allows us the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Our lease agreements consist primarily of operating leases for office space, warehouses, office equipment, and trailers. We do not have material financing leases. Frequently, we enter into contractual relationships with a wide variety of transportation companies for freight capacity and utilize those relationships to efficiently and cost-effectively arrange the transport of our customers’ freight. These contracts typically have a term of twelve months or less and do not allow us to direct the use or obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of a specifically identified asset. Accordingly, these agreements are not considered leases.
Our operating leases are included on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities. A right-of-use lease asset represents our right to use an underlying asset over the term of a lease, while a lease liability represents our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Current and noncurrent lease liabilities are recognized on the commencement date at the present value of lease payments, including non-lease components, which consist primarily of common area maintenance and parking charges. Right-of-use lease assets are also recognized on the commencement date as the total lease liability plus prepaid rents. As our leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, we use our fully collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is influenced by market interest rates, our credit rating, and lease term, and as such, may differ for individual leases.
Our lease agreements typically do not contain variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, purchase options, or restrictive covenants. Many of our leases include the option to renew for a period of months to several years. The term of our leases may include the option to renew when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option, although these occurrences are seldom. We have lease agreements with lease components (e.g., payments for rent) and non-lease components (e.g., payments for common area maintenance and parking), which are all accounted for as a single lease component.
We do not have material lease agreements that have not yet commenced that are expected to create significant rights or obligations as of March 31, 2026.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Our allowance for credit losses is computed using a number of factors, including our past credit loss experience and our customers' credit ratings, in addition to other customer-specific factors. We have also considered recent trends and developments related to the current macroeconomic environment in determining our ending allowance for credit losses for both accounts receivable and contract assets.
The allowance for credit losses on contract assets was not significant as of March 31, 2026.

NOTE 13:
RESTRUCTURING
2025 Restructuring Program
: In the second quarter of 2025, we initiated a restructuring program (the “2025 Restructuring Program”) aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and achieving cost savings through the adoption of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (“AI”). The program is centered around two key initiatives:
Process Optimization and Workforce Productivity
-
The first initiative focuses on streamlining operations by leveraging cutting-edge technological innovations to significantly enhance workforce productivity. This includes the integration of automation and AI-driven solutions to reduce manual processes and improve overall efficiency. As a result of this initiative, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur, severance and related personnel costs associated with workforce reductions.
Facilities Consolidation and Footprint Optimization
-
The second initiative involves the consolidation and centralization of our facilities to align with the reduced workforce resulting from the first initiative. This effort is designed to optimize our physical footprint and support a more agile and cost-effective operating model. As a result of this initiative, we have recognized asset impairments related to the early termination or abandonment of certain facilities under operating leases.
These initiatives are expected to materially reduce our cost structure and better position the Company for sustainable, long-term growth in an increasingly technology-driven marketplace. The 2025 Restructuring Program is expected to span the next
two years
, during which we will continue to implement advanced technologies across the enterprise and review opportunities to consolidate our global facilities.
We recognized restructuring charges of $
20.2
million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily related to workforce reductions and related personnel expenses. We expect to incur restructuring charges of $
50
million to $
75
million in total between 2025 through early 2028 primarily related to severance and other personnel related costs and impairments related to the early termination or abandonment of facilities under operating leases for the 2025 Restructuring Program. The amount and timing of the restructuring charges we will recognize depend upon multiple factors, such as the implementation and integration of automation and AI-driven solutions across targeted areas of the enterprise, natural employee turnover, and our ability to consolidate our global facilities. We paid $
6.2
million of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2026 related to the 2025 Restructuring Program.

NOTE 14:
DIVESTITURES
Europe Surface Transportation Divestiture:
In 2024, we entered into an agreement with sennder Technologies GmbH to sell our Europe Surface Transportation business, which was included in our All Other and Corporate segment. The divestiture was part of our enterprise strategy to drive focus on profitable growth in our four core modes—North American truckload and LTL and global ocean and air—as engines to ignite growth and create the most value for our stakeholders. We determined the divestiture did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our consolidated results of operations, and therefore the results of our Europe Surface Transportation business are not reported as discontinued operations. The sale included all of the assets and liabilities of the business other than our proprietary technology platform.
Upon entering into the agreement to sell the business in 2024, the assets and liabilities of our Europe Surface Transportation disposal group were classified as held for sale resulting in a $
32.8
million pre-tax loss on the disposal group classified as held for sale in 2024. Including the direct costs incurred to sell the business and the loss on the disposal group, the total pre-tax loss recognized was $
44.5
million in 2024.
The sale closed effective February 1, 2025. We received $
27.7
million of consideration at closing and $
11.8
million in the first quarter of 2026 with additional fixed installment payments due in 2026. The remaining consideration due is collateralized by current and future accounts receivable of the Europe Surface Transportation business. There are
no
remaining assets and liabilities held for sale as of March 31, 2026.

OVERVIEW
C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (“C.H. Robinson,” “the company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is one of the largest global logistics providers in the world. As a leader in Lean AI supply chains, we deliver logistics like no one else. For more than a century, companies everywhere have looked to us to reimagine how goods move. We deliver tailored solutions across the world via truckload, less-than-truckload, ocean, air, and more. With our unique combination of human insight and Lean AI working as one, supply chains move faster, smarter, and more sustainably.
Our adjusted gross profits and adjusted gross profit margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted gross profits are calculated as gross profits excluding amortization of internally developed software utilized to directly serve our customers and contracted carriers. Adjusted gross profit margin is calculated as adjusted gross profits divided by total revenues. We believe adjusted gross profits and adjusted gross profit margin are useful measures of our ability to source, add value, and sell services and products that are provided by third parties, and we consider adjusted gross profits to be a primary performance measurement. Accordingly, the discussion of our results of operations often focuses on the changes in our adjusted gross profits and adjusted gross profit margin.

MARKET TRENDS
During the first quarter of 2026, the North American surface transportation market experienced heightened volatility, driven primarily by tightening carrier capacity and rising operating costs, while freight demand showed only limited signs of recovery. Capacity pressures increased as regulatory enforcement activity and higher operating costs accelerated carrier attrition, contributing to higher market pricing. These conditions were exacerbated by winter weather, which created regional capacity constraints. In addition, escalating geopolitical uncertainty contributed to higher diesel fuel prices, further increasing all-in transportation rates and adding near-term cost pressure and operational complexity for both carriers and shippers.
One of the key metrics we use to measure market conditions is the truckload routing guide depth from our Managed Solutions business. This metric measures the average number of carriers contacted before securing a transportation provider. Routing guide depth of 1 would be perfect performance and 2 would be extremely poor. As carrier capacity tightened during the quarter, routing guide performance deteriorated, with average routing guide depth increasing to 1.5 in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 1.3 in both the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2025.
Looking ahead, continued uncertainty related to fuel prices, regulatory enforcement impacting driver availability, and geopolitical disruptions may continue to drive volatility and exert upward pressure on transportation rates as the industry enters the seasonally stronger spring and summer months.
During the first quarter of 2026, the global forwarding market was influenced primarily by supply-side dynamics rather than underlying demand conditions. Market conditions reflected the impact of conflict-related rerouting, elevated fuel costs, and carriers’ strategic capacity management actions, including blank sailings. This compared to the first quarter of 2025, where ocean freight volumes accelerated ahead of anticipated tariff implementations. Ocean freight rates declined substantially during the first quarter of 2026 driven by excess vessel capacity but were increasingly influenced by fuel-related surcharges. The airfreight market remained balanced, mirroring the first quarter of 2025 although pricing was similarly affected by elevated fuel costs. Airspace restrictions related to the conflict in the Middle East resulted in longer flight times, contributing to increased fuel consumption and higher operating costs near the end of the first quarter of 2026.
BUSINESS TRENDS
Our surface transportation business operated in a rising cost environment during the first quarter of 2026, as discussed in the Market Trends section. As a result of these challenging market conditions, our average truckload linehaul cost per mile, excluding fuel surcharges, increased approximately 13.0 percent during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. Our average truckload linehaul rate charged to our customers, excluding fuel surcharges, increased approximately 11.0 percent during the first quarter of 2026. Despite the rapidly increasing cost environment, we improved our adjusted gross profit per transaction in both truckload and less than truckload (“LTL”) services, driven by the continued advancement of our dynamic pricing and costing capabilities. These capabilities enabled us to respond faster and more surgically to meet our contractual commitments and adapt quickly to the changing spot market. Our combined North American Surface Transportation (“NAST”) truckload and LTL volume held flat year-over-year in the first quarter of 2026, significantly outperforming the Cass Freight Index, which declined 6.2 percent compared to the first quarter of 2025.
Our global forwarding results in the first quarter of 2026 were largely in-line with the market trends discussed above. Our year-over-year ocean freight shipments decreased 10.5 percent and our airfreight tonnage decreased 15.0 percent, driven by the accelerated shipping activity ahead of anticipated tariff implementations in the first quarter of 2025.
On February 1, 2025, we divested our Europe Surface Transportation business, which provided transportation and logistics services, including truckload and LTL transportation services across Europe. This business represented the majority of our Other Surface Transportation operations included in All Other and Corporate.
SELECTED OPERATING PERFORMANCE AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT ITEMS
The following summarizes select first quarter 2026 year-over-year operating comparisons to the first quarter 2025:
•
Total revenues decreased 0.8 percent to $4.0 billion, primarily driven by lower volume in our ocean and truckload services and lower pricing in our ocean services. This was partially offset by higher pricing in our truckload and LTL services.
•
Gross profits decreased 1.6 percent to $646.6 million. Adjusted gross profits decreased 1.9 percent to $660.5 million, primarily driven by lower adjusted gross profit per transaction and lower volume in our ocean services. This was partially offset by higher adjusted gross profit per transaction in our LTL services.
22
Table of Contents
•
Personnel expenses increased 1.2 percent to $352.7 million, primarily due to higher restructuring charges related to workforce reductions. This was partially offset by cost optimization efforts and productivity improvements. Average employee headcount decreased 12.3 percent.
•
Other selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 10.6 percent to $132.1 million primarily due to a prior year impairment charge on our Kansas City regional center lease resulting from the execution of a sublease agreement on a portion of the building. In addition, other SG&A expenses declined across several expense categories in 2026 due to cost optimization efforts.
•
Income from operations decreased 0.7 percent to $175.7 million, due to the decrease in adjusted gross profit and higher restructuring charges, partially offset by the decrease in operating expenses.
•
Adjusted operating margin of 26.6 percent increased 30 basis points.
•
Interest and other income/expense, net totaled $9.0 million of expense, consisting primarily of $14.0 million of interest expense, which decreased $2.8 million versus last year due to a lower average debt balance and lower variable interest rates. The first quarter of 2026 results also include a $1.7 million net gain from foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses.
•
The effective tax rate in the quarter was 11.7 percent compared to 13.7 percent in the first quarter last year. The lower rate in the first quarter of 2026 was driven by higher tax benefits related to stock-compensation deliveries, partially offset by non-recurring discrete items and lower U.S. and foreign tax credits and incentives.
•
Net income totaled $147.2 million, an increase of 8.8 percent from a year ago.
•
Diluted earnings per share increased 9.9 percent to $1.22.
•
Cash flow from operations decreased $37.9 million, primarily driven by a sequential increase in net operating working capital.

Consolidated Results of Operations—Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Total revenues and direct costs.
Total transportation revenues and direct costs decreased primarily due to lower volume in ocean and truckload services and lower pricing in ocean services, partially offset by higher pricing in truckload and LTL services. Our ocean volumes and pricing declined compared to the elevated levels experienced in the first quarter of 2025, which benefited from accelerated shipping activity ahead of anticipated tariff implementations. Pricing has also declined substantially due to excess vessel capacity in the market. In our NAST business, industry volumes continued to decline, while capacity pressures increased as regulatory enforcement activity and higher operating costs accelerated carrier attrition, contributing to higher market pricing. These conditions were exacerbated by winter weather, which created regional capacity constraints. Our sourcing total revenue and direct costs increased, driven by increased volume in foodservice and retail customers.

Table of Contents
Gross profits and adjusted gross profits.
Our transportation adjusted gross profits decreased, driven primarily by lower adjusted gross profit per transaction in ocean services and lower volume in ocean and truckload services, as discussed above. These declines were partially offset by higher adjusted gross profit per transaction in our LTL and truckload services. The decrease in ocean adjusted gross profit per transaction was primarily attributable to excess vessel capacity, which significantly reduced pricing across the market. The higher adjusted gross profit per transaction in our LTL and truckload services was driven by the continued advancement of our dynamic pricing and costing capabilities. These capabilities enabled us to respond faster and more surgically to meet our contractual commitments and adapt to rising spot market costs during the first quarter of 2026. Sourcing adjusted gross profits decreased slightly driven by margin compression primarily with retail customers.
Operating expenses.
Personnel expenses increased primarily due to higher restructuring charges related to workforce reductions offset in part by cost optimization efforts and productivity improvements, including lower average employee headcount. Other SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to a prior year impairment charge discussed below. In addition, other SG&A expenses declined across several expense categories in the first quarter of 2026 due to cost optimization efforts.
Our personnel expenses in the first quarter of 2026 included $18.8 million of severance and related personnel expenses. We also incurred $1.4 million of restructuring related other SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2026. These expenses were both associated with our 2025 Restructuring Program. Refer to Note 13,
Restructuring
, for further discussion related to our 2025 Restructuring Program.
Our personnel expenses for the first quarter of 2025 included $1.2 million of severance and related personnel expenses and $1.2 million of other SG&A expenses resulting from the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business. Refer to Note 14,
Divestitures
, for further discussion related to the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business. We also incurred $6.3 million of other SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2025 resulting from an impairment charge on our Kansas City regional center lease resulting from the execution of a sublease agreement on a portion of the building.
Interest and other income/expense, net.
Interest and other income/expense, net primarily consisted of interest expense of $14.0 million which decreased $2.8 million during the first quarter of 2026, due to a lower average debt balance and lower variable interest rates. The current period included a $1.7 million net gain from foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses. The first quarter of 2025 included a $3.4 million net loss from foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses.
Provision for income taxes.
Our effective income tax rate was 11.7 percent for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 13.7 percent for the first quarter of 2025. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the impact of share-based payment awards which decreased the effective income tax rate by 21.9 percentage points, partially offset by non-deductible executive compensation expenses which increased the effective tax rate by 8.8 percentage points. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2025 was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the tax benefit of share-based payment awards, a lower tax rate on foreign earnings and U.S. tax credits and incentives which decreased the effective income tax rate by 6.1 percentage points, 2.7 percentage points, and 1.6 percentage points, respectively.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Total revenues and direct costs.
NAST total revenues and direct costs increased primarily due to higher market pricing in truckload and LTL services, higher fuel surcharges, and increased LTL volumes. These increases were partially offset by lower truckload volumes. Elevated market pricing was driven by supply‑side pressures, including increased regulatory enforcement activity and increasing carrier operating costs, which accelerated carrier attrition and resulted in higher transportation rates. Our average truckload linehaul rate per mile charged to customers, which excludes fuel surcharges, increased approximately 11.0 percent in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. Our truckload linehaul cost per mile, excluding fuel surcharges, increased approximately 13.0 percent in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.
Gross profits and adjusted gross profits.
NAST adjusted gross profits increased primarily due to higher adjusted gross profit per transaction in truckload and LTL services and increased LTL volumes. These increases were partially offset by lower truckload volumes. The increase in adjusted gross profit per transaction in truckload and LTL services reflects the continued advancement of our dynamic pricing and costing capabilities. These capabilities enabled us to respond faster and more surgically to meet our contractual commitments and adapt to rising spot market costs during the first quarter of 2026.
Operating expenses.
NAST personnel expenses increased primarily due to higher restructuring charges related to workforce reductions offset in part by cost optimization efforts and productivity improvements, including lower average employee headcount. NAST other SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to lower claims expense and declines across several expense categories.
NAST personnel expenses in the first quarter of 2026 included $16.0 million of severance and related personnel expenses related to our 2025 Restructuring Program. Refer to Note 13,
Restructuring,
for further discussion related to our 2025 Restructuring Program.
The operating expenses of NAST and all other segments include allocated corporate expenses. Allocated personnel expenses consist primarily of stock-based compensation allocated based upon segment participation levels in our equity plans. Remaining corporate allocations, including corporate functions and technology related expenses, are included within each segment’s other SG&A expenses, and are allocated based upon relevant segment operating metrics.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Total revenues and direct costs.
Global Forwarding total revenues and direct costs decreased significantly in the first quarter of 2026, primarily driven by lower volumes across all services and significantly lower pricing and purchased transportation costs in ocean services. Ocean volumes and pricing declined from the elevated levels experienced in the first quarter of 2025, which benefited from accelerated shipping activity ahead of anticipated tariff implementations. Pricing also declined substantially due to excess vessel capacity in the market, despite conflict-related rerouting, elevated fuel costs, and carriers’ strategic capacity management actions, including blank sailings.
Gross profits and adjusted gross profits.
Global Forwarding adjusted gross profits decreased in the first quarter of 2026 primarily driven by significantly lower adjusted gross profit per shipment in ocean services and reduced volumes across all services, as discussed above. These declines were partially offset by an increase in customs adjusted gross profit per transaction. The decrease in adjusted gross profit per shipment in ocean services was primarily attributable to excess vessel capacity, which significantly reduced pricing across the market.
Operating expenses.
Personnel expenses decreased driven by cost optimization efforts and productivity improvements including lower average employee headcount and lower incentive compensation expense. Global Forwarding other SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to declines across several expense categories.
In addition to the above, Global Forwarding personnel expenses for the first quarter of 2026 included $1.1 million of severance and related personnel expenses. We also incurred $1.4 million in other SG&A expenses the first quarter of 2026. These expenses were both associated with our 2025 Restructuring Program. Refer to Note 13,

Total revenues and direct costs.
Total revenues decreased and direct costs were essentially flat. Total revenues and direct costs decreased due to the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business on February 1, 2025. Additionally, total revenues and direct costs in our Robinson Fresh business increased driven by increased volume in foodservice and retail customers.
Gross profits and adjusted gross profits.
Robinson Fresh adjusted gross profits decreased slightly driven by margin compression primarily with retail customers. Managed Solutions adjusted gross profits increased due to an increase in freight under management.
Restructuring, lease impairment charge, and divestiture expenses.
All Other and Corporate personnel expenses in the first quarter of 2026 included $1.7 million of severance and related personnel expenses associated with our 2025 Restructuring Program.
Our personnel expenses for the first quarter of 2025 included $1.2 million of severance and related personnel expenses and $1.2 million of other SG&A expenses resulting from the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business. Refer to Note 14,

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $159.7 million as of March 31, 2026, and $160.9 million as of December 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States totaled $149.5 million as of March 31, 2026, and $144.9 million as of December 31, 2025.
We prioritize our investments to grow our market share and expand globally in key industries, trade lanes, and geographies, and to digitize our customer, carrier, and internal tools to support our organic growth. We are continually looking for acquisitions, but those acquisitions must fit our culture and enhance our growth opportunities.

Cash flows from operating activities.
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by higher pricing in the North American surface transportation market toward the end of the first quarter of 2026. Capacity tightened as increased regulatory enforcement activity and higher carrier operating costs accelerated carrier attrition, negatively impacting routing guide performance and contributing to higher market pricing. These dynamics were further exacerbated by winter weather, which created regional capacity constraints, in addition to higher diesel fuel prices, both of which contributed to increased all-in transportation rates. As a result of these market conditions, net operating working capital increased, adversely impacting cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter of 2026. We continue to closely monitor credit and collections activities and the quality of our accounts receivable balance to minimize risk as well as work with our customers to facilitate the movement of goods across their supply chains while also ensuring timely payment.
Cash flows from investing activities.
Capital expenditures consisted primarily of investments in software, which are intended to develop and deliver scalable solutions by transforming our processes, accelerate the pace of development and prioritizing data integrity, improve our customer and carrier experience, and increase efficiency to help expand our adjusted operating margins and grow the business.
The sale of our Europe Surface Transportation business closed during the first quarter of 2025. We received $27.7 million of consideration at closing during the first quarter of 2025 and $11.8 million of consideration in the first quarter of 2026. Additional installment payments are due in 2026. The remaining consideration due is collateralized by current and future accounts receivable of the Europe Surface Transportation business.
Cash flows from financing activities.
Net cash used for financing activities decreased significantly in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, driven by an increase in net borrowings on debt partially offset by an increase in cash returned to shareholders. Net borrowings on debt increased driven by a significant increase in share repurchases in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior year.

Table of Contents
The number of shares we repurchase, if any, during future periods will vary based on our cash position, other potential uses of our cash, and market conditions. Over the long term, we remain committed to our quarterly dividend and share repurchases to enhance shareholder value. On October 28, 2025, the Board of Directors approved an additional $2.0 billion of authorization under the company’s share repurchase program. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the company to acquire any amount of common stock and shall expire or terminate at the Board's discretion; however, the company currently expects to execute the share repurchase program over a period of approximately three years. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors.
We may seek to retire or purchase our outstanding Senior Notes through open market cash purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
We believe that, assuming no change in our current business plan, our available cash, together with expected future cash generated from operations, the amount available under our credit facilities, and credit available in the market, will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated needs for working capital, capital expenditures, and cash dividends for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. We also believe we could obtain funds under lines of credit or other forms of indebtedness on short notice, if needed.
As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt agreements.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not subject to any pending or threatened litigation other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business operations, including certain contingent auto liability cases. For some legal proceedings, we have accrued an amount that reflects the aggregate liability deemed probable and estimable, but this amount is not material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Because of the preliminary nature of many of these proceedings, the difficulty in ascertaining the applicable facts relating to many of these proceedings, the inconsistent treatment of claims made in many of these proceedings, and the difficulty of predicting the settlement value of many of these proceedings, we are often unable to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible additional losses. However, based upon our historical experience, the resolution of these proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. There have not been material changes in our risk factors set forth in the company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
