Universal Logistics reports Q1 EPS 23c vs. $1.99 last year

Reports Q1 revenue $382.4M vs. $491.9M last year. “Our performance in the first quarter reflects the sluggish start to 2025,” stated Universal’s CEO Tim Phillips. “While we gained positive momentum as the quarter progressed, the early softness posed a significant headwind to our overall performance for the entire period. Lower auto production, combined with sustained weakness in the freight market, resulted in top-line revenues falling short of our expectations and contributed to a compression in our operating margin. Nonetheless, we remain confident in the strength and resilience of Universal’s business model. We are taking actions to improve the results of underperforming operations and remain highly focused on strategic customer acquisition to support our objective of driving profitable growth.”
