Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 —Introduction and Basis of Presentation

Certain acronyms and terms used throughout this Quarterly Report are specific to the Company, commonly used in the trucking industry, or are otherwise frequently used throughout this document. Definitions for these acronyms and terms are provided in the "Glossary of Terms," available in the front of this document.

Description of Business

Knight-Swift is a transportation solutions provider, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company operated an average of 21,027 tractors (comprised of 19,017 company tractors and 2,010 independent contractor tractors) and 82,288 trailers within the Truckload segment and leasing activities within the All Other Segments. The LTL segment operated an average of 4,239 tractors and 11,281 trailers. Additionally, the Intermodal segment operated an average of 595 tractors and 12,511 intermodal containers. As of March 31, 2026, the Company'sfour reportable segments were Truckload, LTL, Logistics, and Intermodal.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in this Quarterly Report include the accounts of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Knight-Swift's 2025 Annual Report. In management's opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and include all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for the fair statement of the periods presented.

With respect to transactional/durational data, references to years pertain to calendar years. Similarly, references to quarters pertain to calendar quarters.

Seasonality

In the full truckload transportation industry, results of operations generally follow a seasonal pattern. Freight volumes in the first quarter are typically lower due to less consumer demand, customers reducing shipments following the holiday season, and inclement weather. At the same time, operating expenses generally increase, and tractor productivity of the Company's Truckload fleet, independent contractors and third-party carriers decreases during the winter months due to decreased fuel efficiency, increased cold weather-related equipment maintenance and repairs, and increased insurance claims and costs attributed to higher accident frequency from harsh weather. These factors typically lead to lower operating profitability, as compared to other parts of the year. Additionally, beginning in the latter half of the third quarter and continuing into the fourth quarter, the Company typically experiences surges pertaining to holiday shopping trends toward delivery of gifts purchased over the Internet, as well as the length of the holiday season (consumer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas). However, as the Company continues to diversify its business through expansion into the LTL industry, warehousing, and other activities, seasonal volatility has become somewhat more tempered. Additionally, macroeconomic trends and cyclical changes in the trucking industry, including imbalances in supply and demand, can override the seasonality faced in the industry.

1 Adopted during the first quarter of 2026.

Since management is continuing to evaluate the impacts of the above standard, disclosures around these preliminary assessments are subject to change.

Note 3 —Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate —The effective tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 were 7.0% and 25.4%, respectively. The current quarter effective tax rate was primarily impacted by a decrease in pre-tax income.

Valuation Allowance — Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has $12.0 million and $11.9 million, respectively in valuation allowances associated with state operating loss carryforwards which may not be utilized in the future.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits — The Company has unrecognized tax benefits associated with tax credit carryforwards. Management does not expect a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits relating to credits to be necessary within the next twelve months.

Interest and Penalties — The Company didnot have accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Tax Examinations — Certain of the Company's subsidiaries are currently under examination by various state jurisdictions for tax years ranging from 2022 to 2024. At the completion of these examinations, management does not expect any adjustments which would have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate. Years subsequent to 2020 remain subject to examination.

Note 4 —Accounts Receivable Securitization

2025 RPA —On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into the 2025 RPA. The 2025 RPA replaced the Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated June 14, 2013, and last amended by the Eighth Amendment on October 1, 2025 ("2025 RSA").

As part of the 2025 RPA, the Company's receivable originator subsidiaries sell without recourse, on a continuous revolving basis, all of their rights, title, and interest of their eligible pool of accounts receivable generated in the ordinary course of business ("Eligible Receivables") to Swift Receivables Company II, LLC ("SRCII"), a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote entity. As of March 31, 2026, the Company's Eligible Receivables generally have high credit quality, as determined by the obligor's corporate credit rating. Upon the transfer of the Eligible Receivables to

SRCII, the Eligible Receivables are legally isolated from the Company. SRCII in turn sells, assigns, and transfers on a revolving basis its rights, title and interest in and to certain of the Eligible Receivables ("Sold Receivables") on an invoice-by-invoice basis, including all related security and collections with respect to the Sold Receivables to the various unaffiliated third-party financial institutions (the "Purchasers") in exchange for cash. The maximum facility capacity of the 2025 RPA is $575.0 million. The Company sold approximately $455.2 million and $478.2 million in Sold Receivables to the Purchasers as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company continues to service the Sold Receivables from the customers, including collection services, but retains no interest in the Sold Receivables, and remits payment to the Purchasers. As cash is collected on Sold Receivables, the Company’s available capacity under 2025 RPA increases, and the Company typically sells additional receivables to the Purchasers.

The sale of the Sold Receivables to the Purchasers qualifies for sale accounting treatment in accordance with ASC 860 – Transfers and Servicing and the associated receivables are derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at the time of the sale. Cash receipts from the Purchasers at the time of the sale are classified as operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows. The remaining Eligible Receivables not sold and held by SRCII ("Unsold Receivables") were $135.7 million and $60.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 respectively, and are included in "Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts" in the consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent cash collections of the Unsold Receivables are classified as operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

The 2025 RPA contains guarantees of payment, not collection by SRCII to the Purchasers ("Guaranteed Obligations"), which are collateralized by the Unsold Receivables. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Guaranteed Obligations was $4.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively, and are included in "Accrued liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company incurs program and yield fees due to the Purchasers related to the Sold Receivables, which are recorded in "Miscellaneous operating expense" in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company incurred program and yield fees of $5.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026. In addition, the 2025 RPA includes various affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties, and default and termination provisions customary for facilities of this type.

The following table summarizes the key terms of the 2025 RPA (dollars in thousands):

1 The interest rate margin for the 2025 Term Loans and 2025 Revolver is based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2026, interest accrued at 4.97% on the 2025 Term Loan A-1,4.85% on the 2025 Term Loan A-2, and 4.98% on the 2025 Revolver.

As of March 31, 2026, commitment fees on the unused portion of the 2025 Revolver accrued at 0.15% and outstanding letter of credit fees accrued at 1.30%.

The 2025 Debt Agreement contains certain financial covenants with respect to a maximum net leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio. The 2025 Debt Agreement provides flexibility regarding the use of proceeds from asset sales, payment of dividends, stock repurchases, and equipment financing. In addition to the financial covenants, the 2025 Debt Agreement includes usual and customary events of default for a facility of this nature and provides that, upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the 2025 Debt Agreement may be accelerated, and the lenders' commitments may be terminated. The 2025 Debt Agreement contains certain usual and customary restrictions and covenants relating to, among other things, dividends (which are restricted only if a default or event of default occurs and is continuing or would result therefrom), liens, affiliate transactions, and other indebtedness. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the 2025 Debt Agreement.

Borrowings under the 2025 Debt Agreement are made by Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. and are guaranteed by certain of the Company's material domestic subsidiaries (other than its captive insurance subsidiaries, driving academy subsidiary, and bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary).

U.S. Xpress' Revenue Equipment Installment Notes — In connection with the U.S. Xpress Acquisition, the Company assumed revenue equipment installment notes with various lenders to finance tractors and trailers. Payments are due in monthly installments with final maturities at various dates through March 15, 2028, and the notes are secured by related revenue equipment with a net book value of $79.2 million as of March 31, 2026. Terms generally range from 48 months to 84 months. The interest rates as of March 31, 2026 range from 2.87% to 7.17%.

2021 Prudential Notes — The 2021 Prudential Notes previously allowed ACT to borrow up to $125 million, less amounts currently outstanding with Prudential Capital Group, provided that certain financial ratios are maintained. The final 2021 Prudential Note has an interest rate of 4.05% and a maturity date of January 2028.

Fair Value Measurement — See Note 11 for fair value disclosures regarding the Company's debt instruments.

Note 6 —Defined Benefit Pension Plan

Net periodic pension income and benefits paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were immaterial.

Assumptions

A weighted-average discount rate of 5.17% was used to determine benefit obligations as of March 31, 2026.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine net periodic pension cost:

Quarter Ended March 31,
20262025
Discount rate5.17%5.39%
Expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets5.00%5.00%

Settlement

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company completed a settlement of a portion of its defined benefit pension plan obligations. The settlement was executed through the purchase of group annuity contracts from a third‑party, which transferred the related benefit obligations and associated plan assets.

As a result of the settlement, the Company recognized a pension settlement charge of $0.4 million, which is included in "Salaries, wages, and benefits" in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. This charge primarily reflects the accelerated recognition of previously unrecognized actuarial losses and prior service costs that were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Following the settlement, the Company’s projected benefit obligation and plan assets were both reduced by $21.3 million.

The settlement significantly reduced the Company’s exposure to future changes in interest rates, longevity assumptions, and asset return volatility associated with the pension plan. The termination of the pension plan is expected to be finalized during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 primarily through a lump sum payment to the remaining participants.

Refer to Note 11 for additional information regarding fair value measurements of the Company's investments.

Note 7 —Purchase Commitments

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding commitments to purchase revenue equipment of $652.4 million in the remainder of 2026 ($509.1 million of which were tractor commitments), andnone thereafter. These purchases may be financed through any combination of finance leases, operating leases, debt, proceeds from sales of existing equipment, and cash flows from operations.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding commitments to purchase facilities and non-revenue equipment of $95.5 million in the remainder of 2026, $40.1 million from 2027 through 2028, $5.6 million from 2029 through 2030, andnone thereafter. Factors such as costs and opportunities for future terminal expansions may change the amount of such expenditures.

Note 8 —Contingencies and Legal Proceedings

Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to certain legal proceedings incidental to its business. The majority of these claims relate to bodily injury, property damage, cargo and workers' compensation incurred in the transportation of freight, as well as certain class action litigation related to personnel and employment matters. We record a liability when we believe that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Based on management's present knowledge of the facts and, in certain cases, advice of outside counsel, management believes the resolution of open claims and pending litigation, taking into account existing reserves, is not likely to have a materially adverse impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. However, any future claims or adverse developments in existing claims could impact this analysis. There are inherent uncertainties in these legal matters, some of which are beyond management's control, making the ultimate outcomes difficult to predict. Moreover, management's views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and the matters continue to develop. The Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by future claims or the adverse development or ultimate resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

The Company has made accruals with respect to its legal matters where appropriate, as well as legal fees which are included in "Accrued liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has recorded an aggregate accrual of approximately $4.8 million, relating to the Company's outstanding legal proceedings as of March 31, 2026.

Third-Party Carrier Insurance Commitments

During 2024, the Company finalized the terms for transactions with the insurer under the third-party reinsurance agreement covering auto liability associated with the Company's third-party carrier insurance business. The first agreement finalized on February 14, 2024, effectively transferred $161.1 million in third-party auto liability insurance claim liabilities to the insurer for policy periods from October 1, 2020 through March 31, 2023. The transfer of these liabilities was funded by conveying to the insurer the corresponding restricted cash held in trust for payment of the third-party insurance claims. A second agreement finalized on December 28, 2024, effectively transferred the remaining $77.2 million in third-party auto liability insurance claim liabilities to the insurer for the policy period of April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. The transfer of these liabilities was funded by conveying to the insurer the corresponding restricted cash held in trust for payment of the third-party insurance claims in installments from December 30, 2024 through October 1, 2025. The Company remains responsible for potential additional premiums and aggregate reinsurance amounts above agreed loss development thresholds depending upon the ultimate development of claims. The maximum potential additional premium under each transfer agreement is $14.0 million. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has recorded a loss contingency liability of $14.0 million related to estimated additional premiums as certain claims in the first transfer transaction have reached amounts above the agreed loss development thresholds noted above.

Note 9 —Share Repurchase Plans

In April 2022, the Board approved the repurchase of up to $350.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "2022 Knight-Swift Share Repurchase Plan").

The Company madeno share repurchases during the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. no

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $200.0 million remaining under the 2022 Knight-Swift Share Repurchase Plan.

Note 10 —Weighted Average Shares Outstanding

(Loss) earnings per share, basic and diluted, as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, are calculated by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Knight-Swift by the respective weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.

The following table reconciles basic weighted average shares outstanding to diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

1 The Company measures contingent consideration liabilities at fair value each reporting period using significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a probability weighted value analysis as a valuation technique to convert future estimated cash flows to a single present value amount. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are forecasted operating income and net income over the earnout period, and the probability outcome percentages assigned to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs would result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent earnout liabilities. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount settled, and the difference between the fair value estimate and amount settled will be recorded in earnings for business combinations.

The following is a rollforward for the summary of changes in the fair value of the Company's contingent consideration liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing Level 3 assumptions:

20262025
Beginning balance$137,490$137,490
Change in fair value of contingent consideration (a)——
Settlement of contingent consideration (b)——
Ending balance$137,490$137,490

(a)The fair values of the mandatorily redeemable contingent consideration and other contingent consideration related to the U.S. Xpress Acquisition are based on Monte Carlo simulations that measure the present value of the expected future payments to be made in accordance with the provisions outlined in the purchase agreement, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Company estimates the future performance using financial projections developed by management about operating income and net income and the volatility associated with operating income and net income. The Company completes this valuation every six months with the next valuation being completed on June 30, 2026. The Company did not identify any indicators that would require an additional valuation as of March 31, 2026.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company used volatility rates of 31.0% and 42.0% for operating income and net income, respectively. The Company estimates future payments using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in the purchase agreement and these financial projections. These payments are discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration market-based rates of return that reflect the ability of U.S. Xpress to achieve the targets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company used a discount rate of 5.4%. Changes in financial projections or the risk-adjusted discount rate, would result in a change in the fair value of contingent consideration.

Based on the Company’s ongoing assessment of the fair value of the contingent consideration, no adjustment was recorded to the estimated fair value of such liabilities during 2025.

(b)The Company didnot recognize any gains in the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

2 As of December 31, 2024, the call option has expired and the mandatorily redeemable contingent consideration is now in the put option period.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements (Assets)—The following table depicts the level in the fair value hierarchy of the inputs used to estimate fair value of assets measured on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
