Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  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 asone reportable segment.

  1. 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, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the 2024 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of September 30, 2025.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Effective

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The ASU seeks to enhance income tax information primarily through changes in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. The Company will adopt this standard beginning with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our annual financial statement disclosures.

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.” The ASU 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 July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets,” which introduces a practical expedient (for all entities) and an accounting policy election for non-public entities when estimating expected credit losses for current receivables and contract assets under Accounting Standards Codification 606. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments are applied prospectively, and eligible entities can choose to apply the practical expedient and accounting policy election, with required disclosures. We are currently evaluating the potential 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.” The amendments in this update improve the operability of the guidance 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.

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. The Company evaluated the impact of these tax law changes on the effective tax rate and determined that there was no material impact to our income tax expense or effective tax rate.

  1. Acquisition

On September 16, 2024 (the “acquisition date”), the Company acquired the technology-driven, asset-light based truckload freight brokerage services business, as well as certain assets used to conduct haulage, dedicated transport and warehousing services in the United Kingdom (collectively, “Coyote”), from United Parcel Service of America, Inc. (“UPS”) and certain subsidiaries of UPS (the “Transaction”). We acquired Coyote for $1.038 billion in cash, subject to certain additional customary adjustments. The purchase price was subsequently increased by $10 million for working capital and other post-closing adjustments, which was paid in the first quarter of 2025. We believe the acquisition of Coyote enhances our competitive position with greater scale, a broader array of service offerings and strengths in a more diverse set of end markets.

The Transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to Coyote’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company at the acquisition date. During the measurement period, adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation were made primarily to reflect the final valuation of acquired identifiable intangible assets, property and equipment, self-insured liabilities and deferred tax liabilities.

Purchase price$1,048

The purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, and, as such, the excess was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill will not be amortized but instead will be reviewed for impairment at least annually, absent any indicators of impairment. Goodwill is attributable to synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of the Company and Coyote and the assembled workforce. Goodwill recognized in the Transaction is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the Company’s results of operations as if the Coyote acquisition occurred on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma information includes adjustments for intangible assets acquired and elimination of historical intercompany transactions between RXO and Coyote. The unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of our consolidated results of operations of the combined business had the acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2023 or of the results of our future operations of the combined business.

  1. 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 7% and 8% of our revenues were generated outside the U.S. (primarily in Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Approximately 7% and 8% of our revenues were generated outside the U.S. (primarily in Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Our revenue disaggregated by service offering is as follows:

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 September 30, 2025, the fixed consideration component of our remaining performance obligations was approximately $16 million, and we expect approximately 94% of that amount to be recognized over the next 3 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.

  1. 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 rollforward of the Company’s restructuring activity:

We expect the majority of the cash outlays related to the remaining severance restructuring liability at September 30, 2025 to be completed within twelve months. Cash outlays related to the remaining equipment and facilities restructuring liability at September 30, 2025 will be completed over the remaining term of the impaired leases.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On October 18, 2022, we entered into afive-year, $500 million unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), with $50 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. Loans under the Revolver bear interest at a fluctuating rate plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s credit ratings, with interest payable quarterly. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on any unused commitment, based on pricing levels set forth in the agreement. The effective interest rate on the Revolver was 7.75% as of September 30, 2025.

On November 2, 2023, the Company exercised a feature to increase the total commitments under the Revolver from $500 million to $600 million.

The covenants in the Revolver are customary for financings of this type. The Revolver requires the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00:1.00. On August 8, 2024, the Company and lenders entered into an amendment, which, following the completion of the Coyote acquisition on September 16, 2024, increased the Company’s maximum consolidated leverage ratio to not greater than 4.50:1.00. At September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Revolver. There wereno letters of credit outstanding on the Revolver at September 30, 2025.

In addition, the amendment extended, upon the completion date of the Coyote acquisition, the Revolver maturity date five years from the amendment date to September 16, 2029. To the extent there is more than $50 million of the Company’s Notes (as defined below) outstanding on the date that is 91 days prior to the earlier of the extended maturity date and the maturity date of the Notes, then the extended maturity date will be subject to a springing earlier maturity date that is 91 days prior to the earlier of the extended maturity date and the Notes maturity date, unless the Notes are refinanced or replaced with debt that matures at least 91 days after the extended maturity date.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $565 million committed under the Revolver, net of outstanding borrowings. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s available borrowing capacity under the Revolver, after giving effect to the financial covenants described above, was $383 million.

We also have a non-U.S. revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of approximately $16 million. This facility has aone-year term and we had $14 million outstanding as of September 30, 2025 classified as short-term debt.

Notes

On October 25, 2022, we completed an offering of $355 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes (the “Notes” or the “7.50% Notes due 2027”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum payable semiannually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2023, and mature on November 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed, if applicable. The Notes were issued at an issue price of 98.962% of par. The effective interest rate on the Notes was 8.13% as of September 30, 2025.

We may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to (i)103.750% of the principal amount to be redeemed if the redemption occurs during the 12-month period beginning on November 15, 2024, (ii)101.875% of the principal amount to be redeemed if the redemption occurs during the 12-month period beginning on November 15, 2025 and (iii)100% of the principal amount to be redeemed if the redemption occurs on or after November 15, 2026, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Notes are guaranteed by each of our direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries). The Notes and its guarantees are unsecured, senior indebtedness for us and our guarantors. The Notes contain covenants customary for debt securities of this nature. At September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Notes.

  1. 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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)LevelSeptember 30, 2025December 31, 2024
Revolver3$35$—
7.50% Notes due 20271363365

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.

  1. Stockholders’ Equity

In connection with the private placement common stock issuance completed in August 2024, a deemed non-pro rata distribution of $216 million was recorded within Other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, based on the difference between the issuance price and the closing market price of common stock on August 12, 2024, the effective date of the private placement.

On May 2, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $125 million of the Company’s common stock (the “2023 Share Repurchase Program”). During 2023, the Company repurchased 100,000 shares of its common stock for $2 million at an average price of $20.53 per share, funded by available cash. There wereno share repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, $123 million remained approved to be used for share repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program. The 2023 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares or use a specific dollar amount of the approved and remaining $123 million.

  1. 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 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 one of the misclassification claims, Gonzalez v. RXO Last Mile, Inc., we recently reached an agreement to settle the matter for an immaterial amount without admitting any liability. We have accrued the full amount of the settlement.

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.
