Freightos reports Q1 operating results

Freightos (CRGO) reported preliminary key performance indicators for Q1. These operational KPIs primarily reflect platform activity. Q1 transactions totaled 425K, up 15% year-over-year and below management’s expectations, reflecting reduced activity in Middle East routes amid ongoing military conflict and disruption to major international shipping and air corridors. Excluding routes involving Middle East origin, destination or airspace, transactions grew year-over-year at a rate above management expectations, reflecting continued growth across other regions and increased use of alternative routing. Active carrier network maintained its record level of 79 carriers in Q1 2026, up from 77 in Q4 2025. Unique buyer users declined slightly on a sequential basis to approximately 20,600, reflecting the reduced activity in the Middle East, but was up approximately 5% year over year. Total value of transactions processed on the Freightos platform, or GBV, reached $344M for Q1 2026 up 24% from Q1 last year. GBV met management expectations as elevated freight rates as a result of capacity constraints due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East compensated for the transaction shortfall.
