ArcBest reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2024, revealing a slight decline in revenue and net income compared to the previous year. The company continues to focus on cost control and productivity enhancements amidst a challenging freight environment.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, ArcBest’s revenue stood at $1.0 billion, a decrease from $1.1 billion in the same period of 2023. Net income for the quarter was $29 million, compared to $48.8 million in the previous year. The Asset-Based segment saw a decline in revenue and tonnage, while the Asset-Light segment experienced lower revenues due to the soft rate environment and increased truckload capacity.
Despite these challenges, ArcBest made significant investments in technology and infrastructure, returning over $85 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. The company also benefited from a $67.9 million after-tax gain related to a previous acquisition, contributing to a higher net income from continuing operations for the full year.
Looking ahead, ArcBest’s management remains optimistic about the company’s growth prospects, emphasizing continued execution of strategic initiatives for cost control, service quality improvement, and technological innovation to drive future success.
