Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Organization
RXO, Inc. (“RXO”, the “Company” or “we”) is a brokered transportation platform defined by cutting-edge technology and an asset-light business model. The largest component is our core truck brokerage business. Our operations also include asset-light managed transportation and last mile services, which complement our truck brokerage business. We present our operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements as one reportable segment.
2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the 2025 Form 10-K.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RXO, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of June 30, 2026.
Restricted Cash
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our restricted cash included in Other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $1 million.
Adoption of New Accounting Standard
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-09”), which creates a new optional practical expedient related to the estimation of future expected credit losses on accounts receivable. If elected, this expedient removes the requirement, when estimating expected credit losses, to consider changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates or gross domestic product growth. Instead, companies electing the practical expedient may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
8
Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Effective
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 (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 seeks to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses by requiring more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2027 on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.
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 (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 improves the operability of the accounting for internal-use software by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”), which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. ASU 2025-11 provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted into law H.R.1, commonly referred to as “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “Act”). The Act contains several key tax provisions impacting businesses, including the permanent reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property and the restoration of immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures. The Act also modifies the business interest deduction limitation as well as several international tax provisions. The legislation has various effective dates of implementation from 2025 through 2027. Certain provisions of the Act that were in effect for fiscal 2025 were reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Act did not have any material impact on our effective tax rate or cash flow for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

4. Revenue Recognition
Disaggregation of Revenues
We disaggregate our revenue by geographic area, service offering and industry sector. The majority of our revenue, based on sales office location, is generated in the U.S. Approximately 8 % and 7 % of our revenues were generated outside the U.S. (primarily in Canada, Europe, Mexico and Asia) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Approximately 7

Our revenue disaggregated by service offering is as follows:

| Total | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent firm contracts for which services have not been performed and future revenue recognition is expected. As permitted in determining the remaining performance obligation, we omit obligations that: (i) have original expected durations of one year or less or (ii) contain variable consideration. As of June 30, 2026, the fixed consideration component of our remaining performance obligation was approximately $54 million, and we expect approximately 98 % of that amount to be recognized over the next four years and the remainder thereafter. We estimate remaining performance obligations at a point in time and actual amounts may differ from these estimates due to contract revisions or terminations.
5. Restructuring Charges
We engage in restructuring actions as part of our ongoing efforts to best use our resources and infrastructure. These actions generally include severance and impairment of real estate and equipment operating lease assets, and are intended to improve our efficiency and profitability going forward.
The following is a roll-forward of the Company’s restructuring activity:
| Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Equipment and facilities | ( | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | $ | $ | ( | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We expect the majority of the cash outlays related to the remaining severance restructuring liability at June 30, 2026 to be complete within twelve months. Cash outlays related to the remaining equipment and facilities restructuring liability at June 30, 2026 will be completed over the remaining term of the impaired leases.

(2)The carrying value of the 6.375 % Notes due 2031 is presented net of unamortized debt issuance cost of $6 million as of June 30, 2026.
Revolving Credit Facilities
On February 5, 2026 we entered into an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) and used proceeds from loans under the ABL Facility to repay and terminate our previous revolving credit agreement (the “Revolver”). The ABL Facility matures on February 5, 2031.
The aggregate commitment of all lenders under the ABL Facility is $450 million, with the option to request an increase in the revolving commitment by up to the greater of $200 million and the amount, if positive, by which the borrowing base exceeds the aggregate commitments of the lenders, not to exceed 5 % of the aggregate amount of the commitments of the lenders at such time. A portion of the ABL Facility, not to exceed $100 million, is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on any unused commitment, based on pricing levels set forth in the agreement.
The ABL Facility is secured by a first priority perfected security interest (subject to customary exceptions) in all assets of the credit parties, whether consisting of personal, tangible or intangible property; provided that all interests in fee-owned real property and all leasehold interests in real property are excluded. Amounts available to be drawn under the ABL Facility are determined by calculating the applicable borrowing base, which is based upon applicable percentages of the values of eligible investment grade accounts receivable, eligible non-investment grade accounts receivable, eligible unbilled accounts receivable, and eligible liquid assets, less reserves.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $335 million available under the ABL Facility, net of $65 million of outstanding borrowings and $50 million of outstanding letters of credit.
Outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s election: (i) a base rate plus an applicable margin or (ii) an adjusted term SOFR plus an applicable margin; interest is payable monthly or quarterly, at the Company’s election. The effective interest rate on the ABL Facility was 5.12 % as of June 30, 2026.
Subject to customary exceptions and restrictions, the Company may voluntarily prepay outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility at any time without premium or penalty. Any voluntary prepayments made will not reduce commitments under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility contains mandatory prepayment provisions which require prepayment of amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility (i) upon the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of any non-permitted indebtedness and (ii) when there is an availability shortfall.
12
The ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and financial, affirmative and negative covenants for facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, financial covenants relating to a fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum liquidity requirement and a minimum excess availability requirement, and restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments and acquisitions, asset dispositions, specified agreements, restricted payments and prepayment of certain indebtedness. At June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the ABL Facility.
We also have a non-U.S. revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of approximately $17 million. This facility has a one-year term and we had $13 million outstanding as of June 30, 2026 classified as short-term debt.
In the second quarter of 2026, we entered into a non-U.S. revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of approximately $21 million. This facility has an indefinite term and can be terminated at any time. We had $21 million outstanding as of June 30, 2026 classified as short-term debt.
2027 Notes
On February 20, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”), the Company completed the redemption (the “Redemption”) of all of its outstanding 7.50 % Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes” or the “7.50 % Notes due 2027”). The 2027 Notes were redeemed using a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2031 Notes at a redemption price of 101.875 % of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. We recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $11 million in the first quarter of 2026 due to the Redemption.
2031 Notes
On February 20, 2026, we completed an offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes (the “2031 Notes” or the “6.375 % Notes due 2031”). The 2031 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.375 % per annum payable semiannually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2026, and mature on May 15, 2031, unless repurchased or redeemed earlier, if applicable. The 2031 Notes were issued at an issue price of 100 % of par. The effective interest rate on the 2031 Notes was 6.71 % as of June 30, 2026.
We may redeem the 2031 Notes in whole or in part on or after May 15, 2028, at redemption prices of 103.188 % or 101.594 % of the principal amount thereof if the redemption occurs during the 12-month period beginning on May 15, 2028 or 2029, respectively, and a redemption price of 100 % of the principal amount thereof if the redemption occurs on or after May 15, 2030, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Prior to May 15, 2028, the Company may redeem up to 40 % of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes) with an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a price equal to 106.375 % of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, provided that at least 50 % of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes) remains outstanding after the redemption. Prior to May 15, 2028, the Company also may redeem the 2031 Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100.00 % of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date plus a “make-whole” premium.
The 2031 Notes are guaranteed by each of our direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries). The 2031 Notes and its guarantees are unsecured, senior indebtedness for us and our guarantors. The 2031 Notes contain covenants customary for debt securities of this nature. At June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the 2031 Notes.

7. Fair Value Measurements
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 short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, due to their short-term nature and/or being receivable or payable on demand.
Debt
The fair value of our debt and classification in the fair value hierarchy is as follows:
| (In millions) | Level | June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||
| Revolver | 3 | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||
| ABL Facility | 3 | |||||||||||||||||||
| 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||
We valued Level 1 debt using quoted prices in active markets. We valued Level 3 debt using unobservable inputs, which reflect the Company’s best estimate of what hypothetical market participants would use to determine a transaction price for the asset or liability at the reporting date.
8. Earnings per Share

9. Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous proceedings arising out of the conduct of our business. These proceedings may include claims for property damage or personal injury incurred in connection with the transportation of freight, environmental liability, commercial disputes, and employment-related claims, including claims involving asserted breaches of employee restrictive covenants. These matters also include several class action and collective action cases involving claims that the contract carriers with which we contract for performance of delivery services, or their delivery workers, should be treated as employees, rather than independent contractors (“misclassification claims”). Plaintiffs in such cases may seek substantial monetary damages (including claims for unpaid wages, overtime, unreimbursed business expenses, deductions from wages, penalties and other items), injunctive relief, or both.
We establish 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. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, we assess 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, we disclose the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or disclose 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 our assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter.
We believe that we have adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which we are presently a party will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. 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 our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Legal costs incurred related to these matters are expensed as incurred.
We carry liability and excess umbrella insurance policies that we deem sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting our operations as a transportation company. The liability and excess umbrella insurance policies generally do not cover the misclassification claims described in this note. In the event we are required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition could be negatively impacted.
Our last mile subsidiary is involved in several class action and collective action cases involving misclassification claims. The misclassification claims relate solely to our last mile business, which operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of XPO, Inc. (“XPO”) until the spin-off of RXO was completed.
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement between XPO and RXO, the liabilities of XPO’s last mile subsidiary, including legal liabilities, if any, related to the misclassification claims, were spun-off as part of RXO as of November 1, 2022. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, RXO has agreed to indemnify XPO for certain matters relating to RXO, including indemnifying XPO from and against any liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses incurred by XPO arising out of or resulting from the misclassification claims.
In two misclassification claims, Gonzalez v. RXO Last Mile, Inc. and Espinal v. RXO Last Mile, Inc., we have reached agreements to settle both matters for immaterial amounts, without admitting any liability. We have accrued the full amount of each settlement as of June 30, 2026.
We continue to believe the other misclassification claims are without merit and we intend to defend the Company vigorously in these matters. We do not believe that the incurrence of a loss is probable at this time and, accordingly, we have not accrued for any losses in these matters. Further, the plaintiffs have not quantified damages sought in the misclassification claims and we are unable at this time to determine the amount of the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that we may incur as a result of the other misclassification claims.

Business Overview
RXO, Inc. (“RXO”, the “Company” or “we”) is a brokered transportation platform defined by cutting-edge technology and an asset-light business model. The largest component is our core truck brokerage business. Our operations also include asset-light managed transportation and last mile services, which complement our truck brokerage business.
Our truck brokerage business has a history of generating robust free cash flow conversion and a high return on invested capital. Shippers create demand for our service, and we place their freight with qualified independent carriers using our technology. We price our service on either a contract or a spot basis.
Notable factors that enable volume growth in our business include our ability to access massive truckload capacity for shippers through our carrier relationships; our proprietary, cutting-edge technology; our strong management expertise; and favorable long-term industry tailwinds.
We provide our customers with highly efficient access to capacity through our digital brokerage technology. This proprietary platform is a major differentiator for our truck brokerage business, and together with our pricing technology, we believe it can unlock incremental profitable growth. Our complementary services for managed transportation and last mile also utilize our digital brokerage technology.
16
Our managed transportation service provides asset-light solutions for shippers who outsource their freight transportation to gain reliability, visibility and cost savings. The service uses proprietary technology to enhance our revenue synergy, with cross-selling to truck brokerage and last mile. Our managed transportation offering includes bespoke load planning and procurement, complex solutions tailored to specific challenges, performance monitoring, engineering and data analytics, among other services. Our control tower solution leverages the expertise of a dedicated team focused on continuous improvement, and digital, door-to-door visibility into order status and freight in transit. In addition, we offer technology-enabled managed expedite services that automate transportation procurement for time-critical freight moved by road and air charter carriers. We also offer freight forwarding services, including facilitation of ocean and air transportation, customs brokerage and additional domestic services including middle mile.
Our last mile offering is an asset-light service that facilitates consumer deliveries performed by highly qualified third-party contractors. We are the largest provider of outsourced last mile transportation for heavy goods in the United States, positioned within reach of the vast majority of the U.S. population and serving a customer base of omnichannel and e-commerce retailers and direct-to-consumer manufacturers.
Impact of Inflation
Economic inflation can have a negative impact on our operating costs, and any economic recession could depress activity levels and adversely affect our results of operations. A prolonged period of inflation could cause interest rates, fuel, wages and other costs to increase, which would adversely affect our results of operations unless our pricing to our customers correspondingly increases. Generally, inflationary increases in labor and operating costs related to our operations have historically been offset through price increases. However, the pricing environment generally becomes more competitive during economic downturns, which may, as it has in the past, affect our ability to obtain price increases from customers both during and following such periods.
Basis of Presentation

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Revenue increased by $355 million, or 25.0%, to $1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2026, compared with $1.4 billion for the same quarter in 2025. The year-over-year increase in the second quarter of 2026 was driven by a $324 million increase in truck brokerage revenue, primarily as a result of a 44% increase in revenue per load driven by increases in freight rates and fuel prices. Truck brokerage load volume increased 2% year-over-year, excluding the impact in both periods of the business transitioned from truck brokerage to managed transportation; volume growth was driven by an increase in accretive spot volume. The increase in revenue was also driven by a $29 million increase in last mile revenue as a result of a 6% increase in rates and a 3% increase in volume.
Cost of transportation and services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the second quarter of 2026 was $1.5 billion, or 83.0% of revenue, compared with $1.1 billion, or 78.8% of revenue in the same quarter in 2025. The year-over-year increase as a percentage of revenue during the second quarter of 2026 was driven primarily by a 3.8 percentage point increase in truck brokerage cost of transportation and services as a percentage of revenue as the market remained tight in the second quarter of 2026, with capacity continuing to exit, driven primarily by regulatory changes and enforcement, which caused buy rates to increase faster than our contractual sell rates. The increase in truck brokerage cost of transportation and services as a percentage of revenue was also due to higher fuel prices, which lead to increased revenue without a meaningful corresponding increase in gross profit dollars, as fuel costs are a passthrough over time. In addition, last mile cost of transportation and services as a percentage of revenue increased 1.7 percentage points as a result of freight mix changes.
Direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) of $53 million in the second quarter of 2026 increased $6 million, or 12.8%, from $47 million in the same quarter in 2025. As a percentage of revenue, direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased to 3.0% in the second quarter of 2026 compared with 3.3% in the same quarter in 2025 driven primarily by improved operating leverage.
18
SG&A of $211 million in the second quarter of 2026 decreased $3 million, or 1.4%, from $214 million in the second quarter of 2025. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A decreased to 11.9% in the second quarter of 2026 compared with 15.1% for the same quarter in 2025 driven primarily by cost savings from restructuring actions and improved operating leverage.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $26 million, compared with $30 million for the same quarter in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $4 million decrease in depreciation expense.
Transaction and integration costs for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025 were $4 million and $7 million, respectively, and primarily comprised acquisition integration costs.
Restructuring costs for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025 were $7 million and $3 million, respectively, and primarily comprised severance and operating lease impairment costs.
Our effective income tax rates were (3.7)% and 14.5% for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rates for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025 were calculated using the discrete method. Our effective tax rates for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025 differ from the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of non-deductible expense when experiencing a pre-tax loss.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Revenue increased by $347 million, or 12.2%, to $3.2 billion in the first six months of 2026, compared with $2.9 billion for the same period in 2025. The year-over-year increase in the first six months of 2026 was driven by a $354 million increase in truck brokerage revenue, primarily as a result of a 27% increase in revenue per load driven by increases in freight rates and fuel prices. Truck brokerage load volume decreased 4% year-over-year, excluding the impact in both periods of the business transitioned from truck brokerage to managed transportation. The increase in revenue was also driven by a $16 million increase in last mile revenue as a result of a 5% increase in rates, partially offset by a 2% decrease in volume.
19
Cost of transportation and services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the first six months of 2026 was $2.6 billion, or 82.6% of revenue, compared with $2.3 billion, or 79.6% of revenue in the same period in 2025. The year-over-year increase as a percentage of revenue in the first six months of 2026 was driven primarily by (i) a 2.9 percentage point increase in truck brokerage cost of transportation and services as a percentage of revenue as the market remained tight in the first six months of 2026, with capacity continuing to exit, driven primarily by regulatory changes and enforcement, which caused buy rates to increase faster than our contractual sell rates and (ii) a 1.3 percentage point increase in last mile cost of transportation and services as a percentage of revenue as a result of freight mix changes.
Direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) of $103 million in the first six months of 2026 increased $8 million, or 8.4%, from $95 million in the same period in 2025. As a percentage of revenue, direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased to 3.2% in the first six months of 2026 compared with 3.3% in the same period of 2025 driven primarily by improved operating leverage.
SG&A of $408 million in the first six months of 2026 decreased $16 million, or 3.8%, from $424 million in the same period in 2025. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A decreased to 12.8% in the first six months of 2026 compared with 14.9% for the same period in 2025 driven primarily by cost savings from restructuring actions and improved operating leverage.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the first six months of 2026 was $52 million, compared with $62 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was attributable to a $5 million reduction in depreciation expense and a $5 million reduction in intangible amortization expense.
Transaction and integration costs for the first six months of 2026 and 2025 were $6 million and $13 million, respectively, and primarily comprised acquisition integration costs.
Restructuring costs for the first six months of 2026 and 2025 were $14 million and $17 million, respectively, and primarily comprised severance and operating lease impairment costs.
Debt extinguishment loss for the first six months of 2026 was $11 million, resulting from the redemption of our outstanding 7.50% Notes due 2027 and the write off of the related unamortized debt issuance costs and discount.
Our effective income tax rates were 21.1% and 18.2% for the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rates for the first six months of 2026 and 2025 were calculated using the discrete method. Our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2026 differs from the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of nondeductible expenses when experiencing a pre-tax loss, partially offset by the recognition of discrete tax benefits. Our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2025 differs from the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of nondeductible expenses when experiencing a pre-tax loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our ability to fund our operations and anticipated capital needs are reliant upon the generation of cash from operations, supplemented as necessary by utilization of our revolving credit facility. Our principal uses of cash in the future will be primarily to fund our operations, working capital needs, capital expenditures, repayment of borrowings, share repurchases and strategic business development transactions. The timing and magnitude of our growth and working capital needs can vary and may positively or negatively impact our cash flows.
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 and thereafter, for the foreseeable future.
20
Capital Expenditures
Our 2026 capital expenditures include capital associated with strategic investments in technology, equipment and real estate. The level and the timing of the Company’s capital expenditures within these categories can vary as a result of a variety of factors outside of our control, such as the timing of new contracts and availability of labor and equipment. We believe that we have significant discretion over the amount and timing of our capital expenditures as we are not subject to any agreement that would require significant capital expenditures on a designated schedule or upon the occurrence of designated events.
Debt and Financing Arrangements
Revolving Credit Facilities
On February 5, 2026, we entered into a $450 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) and used proceeds from loans under the ABL Facility to repay and terminate our previous revolving credit agreement (“the Revolver”). The ABL Facility matures on February 5, 2031.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $335 million available under the ABL Facility, net of $65 million of outstanding borrowings and $50 million of outstanding letters of credit.
2031 Notes
On February 20, 2026, we completed an offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes (the “2031 Notes”). A portion of the proceeds from the offering were used to redeem all the outstanding 2027 Notes at a redemption price of 101.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $11 million in the first quarter of 2026 due to the redemption of the 2027 Notes.
The 2031 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per annum payable semiannually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2026, and mature on May 15, 2031, unless repurchased or redeemed earlier, if applicable. The 2031 Notes were issued at an issue price of 100% of par. The Company may redeem the 2031 Notes in whole or in part prior to the 2031 redemption date at predetermined prices depending on the date the 2031 Notes are redeemed.
Refer to Note 6—Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional disclosures regarding the Company’s debt and financing arrangements as of June 30, 2026.

Total assets increased by $182 million from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026, primarily due to (i) a $218 million increase in accounts receivable as a result of an increase in revenue and (ii) a $23 million increase in other current assets primarily as a result of the timing of prepaid contracts, partially offset by (i) a $33 million decrease in operating lease assets as a result of amortization and (ii) a $21 million decrease in identifiable intangible assets as a result of amortization.
Total liabilities increased by $217 million from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026, primarily due to (i) a $174 million increase in accounts payable as a result of an increase in third party transportation costs and (ii) a $91 million increase in short-term and long-term debt used to fund working capital needs associated with the increase in

revenue, partially offset by a $33 million decrease in short-term and long-term operating lease liabilities as a result of lease payments.
Cash Flow Activity
Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are summarized as follows:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | 2026 | 2025 | $ Change | |||||||||||||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | (47) | $ | 21 | $ | (68) | ||||||||||||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (29) | (43) | 14 | |||||||||||||||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 74 | 4 | 70 | |||||||||||||||||
| Effect of exchange rates on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | — | 2 | (2) | |||||||||||||||||
| Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | (2) | $ | (16) | $ | 14 | ||||||||||||||
Net cash used in operating activities for the first six months of 2026 was $47 million compared with $21 million provided by operating activities in the same period in 2025. The increase in net cash used by operating activities was primarily due to increased working capital requirements associated with higher revenue. The increase in revenue resulted in higher accounts receivable and a corresponding use of cash, partially offset by increased accounts payable.
Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2026 was $29 million compared with $43 million in the same period in 2025. The use of cash in the first six months of 2026 was $29 million for purchases of property and equipment. The primary uses of cash in the first six months of 2025 were (i) $29 million for purchases of property and equipment and (ii) $10 million paid related to the Coyote acquisition for working capital and post-closing adjustments.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2026 was $74 million compared with $4 million in the same period in 2025. The primary sources of cash in the first six months of 2026 were (i) $400 million in proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 Notes and (ii) $49 million in net proceeds from borrowings on revolving credit facilities, partially offset by (i) $362 million paid for the redemption of the 2027 Notes and (ii) $9 million paid for debt issuance costs. The primary source of cash in the first six months of 2025 was $34 million in net proceeds from borrowings on revolving credit facilities, partially offset by $18 million in payments for tax withholdings primarily attributable to the vesting of stock compensation awards held by non-RXO employees at the time of the Company’s spin-off from XPO, Inc.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies, which include management’s most subjective and complex estimates and judgments, are included in Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the 2025 Form 10-K. A discussion of accounting estimates, considered critical because of the potential for a significant impact on the financial statements due to the inherent uncertainty in such estimates, are disclosed in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2025.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, interest rates and the price of diesel fuel purchased for use by third-party carriers who perform the physical freight movements we arrange. There have been no material changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk related to our continuing operations during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk described in the 2025 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of June 30, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2026, such that the information required to be included in our SEC reports is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to RXO, including our consolidated subsidiaries; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
