- Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of GXO Logistics, Inc. (“GXO” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of GXO and its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). Certain amounts reported for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
The Company presents its operations as one reportable segment.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The ASU applies only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. In 2021, the FASB expanded the scope of the guidance to include derivatives. In 2022, the FASB deferred the expiration date for Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, until December 31, 2024. On March 9, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to its revolving credit facility replacing LIBOR-based benchmark rates with SOFR-based benchmark rates and other conforming changes (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Company has transitioned its existing contracts to a replacement index. ASU 2020-04 and its amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Covenants and Compliance
The covenants in the unsecured notes, term loans and revolving credit facilities, which are customary for financings of this type, limit the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness and grant liens, among other restrictions. In addition, the facilities require the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio below a specified maximum.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in its debt and financing arrangements.
- Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The levels of inputs used to measure fair value are:
•Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
•Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and
•Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, generally utilizing pricing models or other valuation techniques that reflect management’s judgment and estimates.
Assets and liabilities
The Company bases its fair value estimates on market assumptions and available information. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current maturities of long-term debt approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, due to their short-term nature.

Financial Instruments
The Company directly manages its exposure to risks arising from business operations and economic factors, including fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the volatility related to these exposures. The objective of these derivative instruments is to reduce fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. The Company does not expect to incur any losses as a result of counterparty default.
The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and the related notional amounts was as follows:

| Net periodic pension income (1) | $ | 2 | $ | 9 | $ | 4 | $ | 18 |
(1) Net periodic pension income is recorded within Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company also maintains defined benefit pension plans for some of its foreign subsidiaries that are excluded from the disclosure due to their immateriality.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company has defined contribution retirement plans for its U.S. employees and employees of certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s contributions for both the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $22 million and $19 million, respectively. Defined contribution costs were primarily recorded in Direct operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
- Restructuring Costs and Other
Restructuring costs and other are primarily related to severance, including projects to optimize finance, human resources and information technology functions, and are not associated with customer attrition.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, restructuring costs and other totaled $3 million and related to severance charges. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, restructuring costs and other totaled $24 million and included severance charges of $18 million and impairment charges of $6 million as a result of closing certain corporate and administrative offices.
The following is a roll forward of the restructuring liability, which is included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:
| (In millions) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Balance as of December 31, 2022 | $ | 13 |
| Charges incurred | 18 | |
| Payments | (21) | |
| Balance as of June 30, 2023 | $ | 10 |
The remaining restructuring liability at June 30, 2023 primarily relates to severance payments and is expected to be substantially paid within the next twelve months.
- Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 23.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared with 29.4% for the same period in 2022. The effective tax rate was 19.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with 26.4% for the same period in 2022. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three and six months was primarily driven by a decrease in pre-tax losses in certain jurisdictions for which no benefit was recognized and higher transaction costs for the same period in 2022 related to the Clipper Acquisition which were non deductible. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 also reflects a valuation allowance release.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had valuation allowances of $39 million and $44 million on its deferred income tax asset, respectively.
- Goodwill
The following table presents the changes in goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

(1) Represents the finalization of the purchase price allocation for the Clipper Acquisition. See Note 11 — Acquisition for additional information.
(2) Changes to goodwill amounts resulting from foreign currency translation after the acquisition date are presented as the impact of foreign exchange translation.
- Acquisition
On May 24, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Clipper Logistics plc (“Clipper”), an omnichannel retail logistics specialist based in Leeds, England (the “Clipper Acquisition”). The Company acquired Clipper for $1,106 million, consisting of $902 million in cash and the issuance of 3,757,657 shares of GXO common stock having a value of $204 million.
The Company accounted for the Clipper Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on management’s estimate of the fair value using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches.
The following table summarizes the final fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

(1) The Company acquired $392 million of intangible assets, comprised of customer relationships and trade names, with weighted-average useful lives of 15 years.
(2) Represents the fair value of the Company’s common stock issued.
(3) Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Goodwill acquired was recorded in the United Kingdom and Ireland reporting unit and was primarily attributed to anticipated synergies. The Company does not expect the goodwill recognized in connection with the Clipper Acquisition to be deductible for income tax purposes.
- Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of its business. These proceedings may include personal injury claims arising from the transportation and handling of goods, contractual disputes and employment-related claims, including alleged violations of wage and hour laws.
The Company establishes accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews and adjusts accruals for loss contingencies quarterly and as additional information becomes available. If a loss is not both probable and
reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to a loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, the Company assesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or discloses that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on management’s assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter.
Management of the Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. Management of the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which the Company is presently a party will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as they are incurred.
The Company carries liability and excess umbrella insurance policies that are deemed sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting its operations. In the event the Company is required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively impacted.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other written reports and oral statements we make from time to time contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target,” “trajectory” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to a material difference include those discussed below and the risks discussed in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All forward-looking statements set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequence to or effects on the Company or its business or operations.
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 16, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”), and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Business Overview
GXO Logistics, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, (“GXO,” the “Company” or “we”) is the largest pure-play contract logistics provider in the world and a foremost innovator in the industry. We provide our customers with high-value-add warehousing and distribution, order fulfillment, e-commerce, reverse logistics and other supply chain services differentiated by our ability to deliver technology-enabled, customized solutions at scale. Our customers rely on us to move their goods with high efficiency through their supply chains — from the moment inbound goods arrive at our warehouses, through fulfillment and distribution and the management of returned products. Our customer base includes many blue-chip leaders in sectors that demonstrate high growth and/or durable demand, with significant growth potential through customer outsourcing of logistics and warehousing services.
We strive to provide all our customers with consistently high levels of service and cutting-edge automation. We also collaborate with our largest customers on planning and forecasting and assist with network optimization, working with these customers to design or redesign their supply chains to meet specific goals, such as environmental, social and governance. Our multidisciplinary, consultative approach has led to many of our key customer relationships extending for years and expanding in scope.
The most dramatic growth in secular demand in recent years has been in e-commerce and related sectors, including omnichannel retail and other direct-to-consumer channels. We expect to attract new customers and expand the services we provide to existing customers through new projects, thus earning more of their external and internal logistics spending. We use technology to manage advanced automation, labor productivity, sustainability, safety and the complex flow of goods within sophisticated warehouse environments.
Our business model is asset-light and historically resilient in cycles, with high returns, strong free cash flow and visibility into revenue and earnings. The vast majority of our contracts with customers are long-term in nature, and our facility lease arrangements generally align with contract length. The Company has both fixed-price contracts (closed book or hybrid contracts) and cost-plus contracts (open book contracts). Most of our customer contracts contain both fixed and variable components. The fixed component is typically designed to cover facility, technology and equipment costs, while the variable component is determined based on expected volumes and associated labor costs. Under fixed-price contracts, the Company agrees to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent the Company’s actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, the Company will generate more or less profit. Cost-plus contracts provide for the payment of allowable costs incurred during the performance of the contract plus a specified margin.
On May 24, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Clipper Logistics plc (“Clipper”), an omnichannel retail logistics specialist based in Leeds, England (the “Clipper Acquisition”). Due to the Clipper Acquisition, comparisons in our results of operations between 2023 and 2022 are less meaningful.

Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased to $115 million compared with $122 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease was due to lower other income and higher interest expense, offset by higher operating income.
Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $23 million compared with $32 million for the same period in 2022. Our effective tax rate was 19.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with 26.4% for the same period in 2022. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily driven by a valuation allowance release, a decrease in pre-tax losses in certain jurisdictions for which no benefit was recognized and higher transaction costs for the same period in 2022 related to the Clipper Acquisition which were non deductible.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our ability to fund our operations and anticipated capital needs is reliant upon the generation of cash from operations, supplemented as necessary by periodic utilization of our revolving credit facilities. Our principal uses of cash in the future will be to fund our operations, working capital needs, capital expenditures, repayment of borrowings and strategic business development transactions. The timing and magnitude of our start-ups can vary and may positively or negatively impact our cash flows.
As of June 30, 2023, we held cash and cash equivalents of $305 million and we had $799 million of borrowing capacity available, net of letters of credit under our Revolving Credit Facility.
We continually evaluate our liquidity requirements and capital structure in light of our operating needs, growth initiatives and capital resources. We believe that our existing liquidity and sources of capital are sufficient to support our operations over the next 12 months.
Sales of Certain Receivables
We sell certain of our trade receivables on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions under various factoring agreements. We account for these transactions as sales of receivables and present cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Information related to the trade receivables sold was as follows:

| Net cash used in operating cash flows (1) | — | (8) | — | (2) |
(1) The three months ended June 30, 2022, includes $8 million of cash used by factoring programs. The six months ended June 30, 2022, includes $116 million of cash provided by factoring program, reduced by $118 million of cash used in the securitization program that was terminated in the first quarter of 2022.
Covenants and Compliance
The covenants in the unsecured notes, term loans and revolving credit facilities, which are customary for financings of this type, limit our ability to incur indebtedness and grant liens, among other restrictions. In addition, the facilities require us to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio below a specified maximum.
As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in our debt and financing arrangements.
Financial Condition
The following table summarizes our asset and liability balances:
| June 30, | December 31, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In millions) | 2023 | 2022 | Change | % Change | |||

| Total long-term liabilities | 3,912 | 4,009 | (97) | (2) | % |
All values are in US Dollars.
The decrease in total assets and total liabilities from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023, primarily reflects the early repayment of our $115 million two-year term loan and the decrease in accounts payable due to the timing of payments.

Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by $100 million compared with the same period in 2022, primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the timing of payments for transaction and integration costs and severance costs.

June 30, 2022, including $898 million in proceeds from long-term debt, partially offset by $15 million to repay finance lease obligations and $12 million in payments for employee taxes on stock-based compensation awards.
