SECTION 2. FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Operations.
Forward Air Corporation (the “Company”) is providing selected preliminary financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company expects to report revenues of approximately $515.0 million, or a slight increase above the high end of the 2022 second quarter revenue guidance. The Company expects net income per diluted share in a range of $1.98 to $2.10, or approximately 21% to 29% above the high end of the 2022 second quarter net income per diluted share guidance. The Company sees continued strong performance going into the third quarter and will elaborate further on the upcoming quarterly conference call scheduled for July 28, 2022. The Company expects to report its full second quarter 2022 results following the close of market on July 27, 2022.
The preliminary financial results presented above for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are based solely on currently available information, which is subject to change. The Company’s actual financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are subject to the completion of its financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and are not indicative of future performance. The Company’s actual financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 may differ materially from the preliminary financial results provided herein as a result of the completion of the Company’s normal closing process, including the completion of all of its controls procedures, which could identify adjustments causing the actual results to be different from the expectations. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on these preliminary financial results.
The information contained in this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Forward-looking statements included in this Current Report relate to the Company’s expectations regarding (i) revenue and net income per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and (ii) the Company’s performance in the third quarter.
