Reports Q1 revenue $2.67B, consensus $2.54B. “We continue to pull the right levers to grow all of our businesses with current customers as well as new ones,” said Daniel Wall, president and CEO. “We grew air tonnage and ocean volumes year-over-year as all of our teams across our global network performed their best in a very difficult market. I especially want to thank our brokerage teams for maximizing their efforts and all of their additional work to address the frenzied landscape of tariffs, threats of tariffs, shifting geopolitics, and other disruptions that have had shippers around the world rapidly re-evaluating the risks to their supply chains. While we often have performed well when the marketplace is most unpredictable, I am not sure any of us have ever seen anything like the non-stop, rapidly shifting rules and regulations that have impacted our industry in recent days. We believe we are staffed with the right talent in the right locations to help our customers function and navigate this chaotic trade environment. Customers often turn to us for our cross-border expertise and we have held hundreds of near-daily industry update sessions with thousands of participants to keep current and potential customers abreast of the latest regulatory changes and solutions to get their freight where it needs to be.”
