Tontitown, Arkansas, February 13, 2026...... PAMT CORP (NASDAQ: PAMT) (“we” or the “Company”) today reported a consolidated net loss of $29.3 million, or diluted and basic loss per share of $1.40, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 and a consolidated net loss of $52.6 million, or diluted and basic loss per share of $2.48, for the year ended December 31, 2025. These results compare to a consolidated net loss of $31.6 million, or diluted and basic loss per share of $1.45, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, and a consolidated net loss of $31.8 million, or diluted and basic loss per share of $1.45, for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company increased its auto-liability reserve by approximately $26.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 reflecting the recognition of a liability associated with a specific claim expected to settle in excess of insurance policy limits. Excluding the negative impact of this reserve increase, adjusted (non-GAAP) net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $9.4 million, or adjusted (non-GAAP) diluted loss per share of $0.45 and adjusted (Non-GAAP) net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $32.8 million, or adjusted (non-GAAP) diluted loss per share of $1.55.
In the prior year and quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company made a change in accounting estimates related to salvage values and useful lives for revenue equipment that increased depreciation by approximately $24.7 million during those periods. In addition, an impairment charge of $6.4 million was recorded during the prior year and quarter ended December 31, 2024 to align the carrying value of revenue equipment to market values of used equipment, which declined throughout 2024. Excluding the negative impact of these one-time charges, adjusted (non-GAAP) net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $7.8 million, or adjusted (non-GAAP) diluted loss per share of $0.36 and adjusted (non-GAAP) net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $8.0 million, or adjusted (non-GAAP) diluted loss per share of $0.37.
Consolidated operating revenues decreased 15.1% to $141.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $166.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, consolidated operating revenues decreased 16.3% to $598.1 million compared to $714.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(1) |
Calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the schedules accompanying this release. |
Liquidity, Capitalization, and Cash Flow
As of December 31, 2025, we had an aggregate of $143.5 million of cash, marketable equity securities, and available liquidity under our line of credit and $210.5 million of stockholders’ equity. Outstanding debt was $333.9 million as of December 31, 2025, which represents an $8.3 million increase from December 31, 2024. This increase in debt was primarily driven by the addition of approximately $107.1 million in revenue equipment during the year, of which we financed $91.9 million, partially offset by regularly scheduled repayments on long-term debt totaling $83.6 million. During 2025, we generated $17.3 million in operating cash flow.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release also includes non-GAAP financial measures termed adjusted operating (loss) income, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share. The Company defines adjusted operating (loss) income, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share as GAAP operating (loss) income, GAAP operating ratio, GAAP net (loss) income and GAAP diluted (loss) earnings per share, respectively, excluding certain significant items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance, including impairment charges, changes in depreciation resulting from revisions to estimates of useful lives and salvage values of revenue equipment, significant auto liability claim developments, and the related tax effects of these items. Management believes that reporting adjusted operating (loss) income, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share more clearly reflects the Company’s current operating results and provides investors with a better understanding of the Company’s overall financial performance. Management also believes that adjusted operating ratio is more representative of our operations when excluding the volatility of fuel prices, which we cannot control. In addition, the adjusted results, although not a financial measure under GAAP, may facilitate the ability to analyze the Company’s financial results in relation to those of its competitors and to the Company’s prior financial performance by excluding items which otherwise would distort the comparison. However, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted operating (loss) income, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share are not recognized terms under GAAP, do not purport to be alternatives to, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, operating (loss) income, operating ratio, net (loss) income and diluted (loss) earnings per share, respectively, as defined under GAAP.
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided tabular reconciliations of GAAP operating (loss) income and operating ratio to adjusted operating (loss) income and adjusted operating ratio, GAAP net (loss) income to adjusted net (loss) income and GAAP diluted (loss) earnings per share to adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share at the end of this press release.

The Truckload Operations operating ratio has been calculated based upon total operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge, as a percentage of revenue, before fuel surcharge. We use revenue, before fuel surcharge, and operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge, because we believe that eliminating this sometimes volatile source of revenue affords a more consistent basis for comparing our results of operations from period to period. |
|
3) |
The tax benefit is calculated using the effective tax rates for each respective period prior to any adjustments for non-GAAP amounts. |
