LANDSTAR SYSTEM REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Jacksonville, FL - Landstar System, Inc. (NASDAQ: LSTR) (“Landstar” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the 2025 third quarter. The Company reported total revenue of $1,205 million in the 2025 third quarter, compared to $1,214 million in the 2024 third quarter. Gross profit and variable contribution each also decreased approximately 1% in the 2025 third quarter compared to the 2024 third quarter. Landstar reported basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.56 for the 2025 third quarter, compared to $1.41 in the 2024 third quarter. As further described below, and as previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2025, the 2025 third quarter included three non-cash, non-recurring items (the “Non-Cash Impairment Charges”) that adversely impacted financial results for the quarter. Excluding the impact of the Non-Cash Impairment Charges, Landstar would have reported 2025 third quarter EPS of $1.22 (“Adjusted EPS”). Reconciliations of EPS and Adjusted EPS for the 2025 and 2024 third quarters and year-to-date periods are provided in the Company’s accompanying financial disclosures.
“The Landstar team of independent business owners and employees executed admirably during the 2025 third quarter despite continued challenges in the overall economic environment for truck transportation services,” said Landstar President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Lonegro. “There were two notable highlights in the quarter. First, Landstar continued to experience strong performance in our services hauled by unsided/platform equipment. Second, for the first time since the first quarter of 2022, the Company achieved sequential quarter-over-quarter growth in BCO truck count. Sustained strength over multiple quarters in our unsided/platform business, turning the corner on net BCO truck count and our laser focus on safety, security and delivering great service to our customers will be key elements we will leverage during the next upcycle.”
LANDSTAR SYSTEM/2
With respect to Landstar’s EPS performance in the 2025 third quarter, the Company conducted a strategic review of our operations during the 2025 third quarter focused on efforts to streamline our core operations and position the Company for future growth. Following this strategic review, Landstar made several important decisions that resulted in the Non-Cash Impairment Charges. In the aggregate, the Non-Cash Impairment Charges adversely impacted 2025 third quarter EPS by $0.66, consisting of:
| • | $16.1 million, or $0.35 per basic and diluted share, charged to goodwill and certain other assets in connection with the decision to actively market for sale Landstar Metro, S.A.P.I. de C.V., the Company’s wholly-owned Mexican operating subsidiary, principally engaged in intra-Mexico truck transportation services; |
| • | $9.0 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, related to the decision to select one of the Company’s transportation management systems as its primary such system for truckload brokerage services and, in connection with that decision, wind-down an alternative transportation management system currently in use by one of the Company’s operating subsidiaries; and |
| • | $5.0 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, relating to a non-controlling equity investment made by the Company in 2022 in a privately held technology start-up company. |
Additional disclosure with respect to each of the Non-Cash Impairment Charges will be included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the 2025 third quarter.

Truck transportation revenue hauled by independent business capacity owners (“BCOs”) and truck brokerage carriers in the 2025 third quarter was $1,090 million, or 90% of revenue, compared to $1,091 million, or 90% of revenue, in the 2024 third quarter. Truckload transportation revenue hauled via van equipment in the 2025 third quarter was $583 million, compared to $604 million in the 2024 third quarter. Truckload transportation revenue hauled via unsided/platform equipment in the 2025 third quarter was $386 million, compared to $370 million in the 2024 third quarter. Revenue from other truck transportation, which is largely related to power-only services, in the 2025 third quarter was $96 million, compared to $93 million in the 2024 third quarter. Revenue hauled by rail, air and ocean cargo carriers was $96 million, or 8% of revenue, in the 2025 third quarter, compared to $97 million, or 8% of revenue, in the 2024 third quarter.
Both truck revenue per load and the number of loads hauled via truck in the 2025 third quarter were approximately equal as compared to the 2024 third quarter.
Gross profit in the 2025 third quarter was $111 million, and variable contribution (defined as revenue less the cost of purchased transportation and commissions to agents) in the 2025 third quarter was $170 million. Gross profit in the 2024 third quarter was $113 million, and variable contribution in the 2024 third quarter was $171 million. Reconciliations of gross profit to variable contribution and gross profit margin to variable contribution margin for the 2025 and 2024 third quarters and year-to-date periods are provided in the Company’s accompanying financial disclosures.
LANDSTAR SYSTEM/4
The Company’s balance sheet continues to be very strong, with cash and short-term investments of approximately $434 million as of September 27, 2025. Trailing twelve-month return on average shareholders’ equity was 15%. Return on invested capital, representing net income divided by the sum of average equity plus average debt, was 13%.

LANDSTAR SYSTEM/5
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In this earnings release and accompanying financial disclosures, the Company provides the following information that may be deemed non-GAAP financial measures: variable contribution and variable contribution margin; adjusted operating income; and Adjusted EPS. The Company believes variable contribution and variable contribution margin are useful measures of the variable costs that we incur at a shipment-by-shipment level attributable to our transportation network of third-party capacity providers and independent agents in order to provide services to our customers. The Company believes adjusted operating income and Adjusted EPS are useful measures given the non-cash, non-recurring nature of the Non-Cash Impairment Charges included in the Company’s 2025 third quarter results. The Company also believes that it is appropriate to present each of the financial measures that may be deemed a non-GAAP financial measure, as referred to above, for the following reasons: (1) disclosure of these matters will allow investors to better understand the underlying trends in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations; (2) this information will facilitate comparisons by investors of the Company’s results as compared to the results of peer companies; and (3) management considers this financial information in its decision making.

Forward-Looking Statements Disclaimer The following is a “safe harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements made in this slide presentation that are not based on historical facts are “forward-looking statements.” This presentation may make certain statements containing forward-looking statements, such as statements which relate to Landstar’s business objectives, plans, strategies and expectations. Such statements are by nature subject to uncertainties and risks, including but not limited to: the operational, financial or legal risks or uncertainties detailed in Landstar’s Form 10-K for the 2024 fiscal year and Form 10-Q for the 2025 first quarter, described in the section Risk Factors, and other SEC filings from time to time. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results or events to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Investors should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. 3Q 2025
In this slide presentation, the Company provides the following information that may be deemed non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted operating income, (ii) adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (“Adjusted Earnings per Share” or “Adjusted EPS”), (iii) variable contribution, (iv) variable contribution margin, (v) adjusted operating income as a percentage of gross profit, (vi) operating income as a percentage of variable contribution, and (vii) adjusted operating income as a percentage of variable contribution. Management believes adjusted operating income and Adjusted EPS are useful measures of the profitability of the Company’s business given the non-cash, non-recurring nature of three discrete impairment charges (the “Non-Cash Impairment Charges”) included in the Company’s 2025 third quarter results and previously described in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 13, 2025. Management believes variable contribution and variable contribution margin are useful measures of the variable costs that we incur at a shipment-by-shipment level attributable to our transportation network of third-party capacity providers and independent agents in order to provide services to our customers. Management believes that operating income as a percentage of variable contribution and adjusted operating income as a percentage of variable contribution are useful measures as: (i) variable costs of revenue for a significant portion of the Company’s business are highly influenced by short-term market-based trends in the freight transportation industry, whereas other costs, including other costs of revenue, are much less impacted by short-term freight market trends; and (ii) this measure is meaningful to investors’ evaluations of the Company’s management of costs attributable to operations other than the purely variable costs associated with purchased transportation and commissions to agents that the Company incurs to provide services to our customers. Management believes adjusted operating income as a percentage of gross profit is a useful measure for purposes of comparison given the non-cash, non-recurring nature of the Non-Cash Impairment Charges. Management also believes that it is appropriate to present each of the financial measures that may be deemed a non-GAAP financial measure, as referred to above, for the following reasons: (1) disclosure of these matters will allow investors to better understand the underlying trends in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations; (2) this information will facilitate comparisons by investors of the Company’s results as compared to the results of peer companies; and (3) management considers this financial information in its decision making. A tabulation of the expenses identified as costs of revenue as well as reconciliations of (i) operating income to adjusted operating income, (ii) basic and diluted earnings per share (“Earnings per Share”) to Adjusted EPS, (iii) gross profit to variable contribution and (iv) gross profit margin to variable contribution margin for the 2025 and 2024 third quarters and year-to-date periods are included in this slide presentation within the Appendix.
