Expeditors reports Q1 EPS $1.71, consensus $1.34

Reports Q1 revenue $2.8B, consensus $2.62B. Daniel R. Wall, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “During a period marked by significant disruption in the final month of the quarter, we continued to demonstrate our ability to bring solutions to our customers. This quarter also demonstrates the resilience of our non-asset-based model, as we grew revenues and margins in most of our products and geographies. We relied heavily on the hard work of our people, especially those close to the conflict in the Middle East. We were well prepared for disruption and adapted quickly. As soon as hostilities began, we developed strategies and solutions for our customers to keep freight moving out of and around impacted areas. In periods of heightened disruption, our teams demonstrate their capabilities and advance our aspiration to be the world’s most trusted and valued logistics provider. I want to thank our people for their dedication and focus during this challenging time.”
