BASIS OF PRESENTATION BASIS OF PRESENTATION
C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. and our subsidiaries (“the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) are a global provider of transportation services and logistics solutions operating through a network of offices located in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, South America, and the Middle East. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. and our majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. Our minority interests in subsidiaries are not significant. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Our reportable segments are North American Surface Transportation (“NAST”) and Global Forwarding, with all other segments included in All Other and Corporate. The All Other and Corporate reportable segment includes Robinson Fresh, Managed Solutions, Other Surface Transportation outside of North America, and other miscellaneous revenues and unallocated corporate expenses. For financial information concerning our reportable segments, refer to Note 8, Segment Reporting.
The condensed consolidated financial statements, which are unaudited, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, these financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Consistent with SEC rules and regulations, we have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. You should read the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05 that amends ASC 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The guidance provides a practical expedient that permits an entity to estimate expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions accounted for under ASC 606 by assuming current economic conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change over the remaining life of the asset. We elected the practical expedient in ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026 and applied the guidance prospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU modernizes the accounting for internal‑use software by eliminating the previous software project stage model and replacing it with a principles‑based capitalization threshold. Under the new guidance, entities begin capitalizing internal‑use software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will perform its intended function. The guidance is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may adopt the ASU prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our accounting policies, related capitalization practices, disclosures, and consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires entities to disaggregate specified natural expense categories within each relevant expense caption presented on the income statement using a tabular footnote disclosure. The guidance also requires disclosure of qualitative descriptions for any amounts within those captions that are not separately quantified. The guidance in this ASU is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities may adopt the standard either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Refer to Note 15, Acquisitions, for further discussion related to the acquisition of DeSpir Logistics.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment on November 30, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying value (“Step Zero Analysis”). If the Step Zero Analysis indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying value, an additional impairment assessment is performed (“Step One Analysis”). As part of our 2025 annual impairment test, we determined that the fair value of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values and our goodwill balance was not impaired.
There were no changes in circumstances or events identified in the second quarter of 2026 that would indicate an interim impairment analysis was required for any of our remaining reporting units as of June 30, 2026.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
 6 Months Ended
Jun. 30, 2026
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
We may seek to manage our exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of foreign currency forward contracts. Foreign currency forward contracts are accounted for at fair value with the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, and changes in fair value recognized in interest and other income/expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. These contracts are accounted for as non-designated hedges pursuant to ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Foreign currency forward contracts are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured using market-based rates. The impact of foreign currency forward contracts was not material as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
We had no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that were classified as Level 2 or Level 3 as of and during the periods ended June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025. There were no transfers between levels during the period.

SENIOR UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
We have a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with a total availability of $1 billion, which may be reduced by standby letters of credit. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of November 19, 2027. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate determined by a pricing schedule or the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the administrative agent's prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent, or (c) the sum of one-month Term SOFR plus a specified margin). As of June 30, 2026, the variable rate equaled Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 percent plus 1.00 percent. In addition, there is a commitment fee on the average daily undrawn stated amount under the facility of 0.09 percent. The recorded amount of borrowings outstanding, if any, approximates fair value because they can be redeemed on short notice and the interest rate floats. We consider these borrowings to be a Level 2 financial liability.
The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.
NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On August 23, 2013, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”). On August 27, 2013, the Purchasers purchased an aggregate principal amount of $500 million of our Senior Notes Series A, Senior Notes Series B, and Senior Notes Series C (collectively, the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The fair value of the Notes approximated $311.0 million on June 30, 2026. We estimate the fair value of the Notes primarily using an expected present value technique, which is based on observable market inputs using interest rates currently available to companies of similar credit standing for similar terms and remaining maturities and considering our own risk. If the Notes were recorded at fair value, they would be classified as a Level 2 financial liability. Senior Notes Series A matured in August 2023.
The Note Purchase Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00, and a maximum consolidated priority debt to consolidated total asset ratio of 10 percent.
The Note Purchase Agreement provides for customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default would permit certain Purchasers to declare certain Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at 100 percent of the principal amount being redeemed together with a “make-whole amount” (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to each Note. The obligations of the company under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes are guaranteed by C.H. Robinson Company, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, and by C.H. Robinson Company, Inc., a Minnesota corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. On November 21, 2022, we executed the third amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement to among other things, facilitate the terms of the Credit Agreement.
U.S. TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION
On November 19, 2021, we entered into a receivables purchase agreement and related transaction documents with Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to provide a receivables securitization facility (the “Receivables Securitization Facility”). The Receivables Securitization Facility is based on the securitization of a portion of our U.S. trade accounts receivable with a total availability of $500 million as of June 30, 2026. The interest rate on borrowings under the Receivables Securitization Facility is based on Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 percent plus 0.80 percent. In addition, there is a commitment fee on the average daily undrawn stated amount under the facility of 0.20 percent.
The recorded amount of borrowings outstanding under the Receivables Securitization Facility approximates fair value because it can be redeemed on short notice and the interest rate floats. We consider these borrowings to be a Level 2 financial liability.
The Receivables Securitization Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, and it also contains customary default and termination provisions, which provide for acceleration of amounts owed under the Receivables Securitization Facility upon the occurrence of certain specified events.
On August 12, 2025, we amended the Receivables Securitization Facility to extend the termination date of the facility to August 12, 2027. The total available remains $500 million, and we have the option to utilize an accordion feature, if needed, of an additional $250 million pursuant to the provisions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, amended by the Receivables Purchase Amendment.
SENIOR NOTES
On April 9, 2018, we issued senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”) through a public offering. The Senior Notes bear an annual interest rate of 4.20 percent payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, until maturity on April 15, 2028. Taking into effect the amortization of the original issue discount and all underwriting and issuance expenses, the Senior Notes have an effective yield to maturity of approximately 4.39 percent per annum. The fair value of the Senior Notes, excluding debt discounts and issuance costs, approximated $594.0 million as of June 30, 2026, based primarily on the market prices quoted from external sources. The carrying value of the Senior Notes was $598.3 million as of June 30, 2026.
We may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to their maturity at the applicable redemption prices described in the Senior Notes. Upon the occurrence of a “change of control triggering event” as defined in the Senior Notes (generally, a change of control of us accompanied by a reduction in the credit rating for the Senior Notes), we will generally be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes from holders at 101 percent of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
The Senior Notes were issued under an indenture that contains covenants imposing certain limitations on our ability to incur liens; enter into sales and leaseback transactions above certain limits; and consolidate, merge, or transfer substantially all of our
assets and those of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. It also provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include among other things nonpayment, breach of covenants in the indenture, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. If an event of default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Senior Notes, the trustee or holders of at least 25 percent in principal amount outstanding of the Senior Notes may declare the principal and the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the outstanding Senior Notes to be due and payable. These covenants and events of default are subject to a number of important qualifications, limitations, and exceptions that are described in the indenture. The indenture does not contain any financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity to which we must adhere.
In addition to the above financing agreements, we have a $35 million discretionary line of credit with U.S. Bank of which $22.8 million is utilized for standby letters of credit related to insurance collateral as of June 30, 2026. These standby letters of credit are renewed annually and were undrawn as of June 30, 2026.

STOCK AWARD PLANS STOCK AWARD PLANS
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense as it vests. A summary of our total compensation expense recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for stock-based compensation is as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,

Total stock-based compensation expense$24,710 $20,882 $53,005 $44,028 
On May 5, 2022, our shareholders approved a 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), authorizing the issuance of up to 4,261,884 shares pursuant to awards granted under the Plan. On May 8, 2025, the Plan was amended and restated, and our shareholders approved an increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance by 4,000,000. The Plan allows us to grant certain stock awards, including stock options at fair market value, performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) and shares, and time-based restricted stock units, to our key employees and non-employee directors. Shares subject to awards under the Plan or certain of our prior plans that expire or are canceled without delivery of shares or that are settled in cash generally may become available again for issuance under the Plan. There were 4,341,495 shares available for stock awards under the Plan as of June 30, 2026.
Stock Options – We have awarded stock options to certain key employees that vest primarily based on their continued employment. These awards are fully vested and there is no remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options as of June 30, 2026. The outstanding options have expiration dates between 2026 and 2030. Although participants can exercise options via a stock swap exercise, we do not issue reloads (restoration options) on the grants.
Stock Awards – We have awarded performance-based restricted shares, PSUs, and time-based restricted stock units. Most of our awards granted prior to 2024 contain restrictions on the awardees’ ability to sell or transfer vested awards for a specified period of time. The fair value of these awards is established based on the market price on the date of grant, discounted for any post-vesting holding restrictions. The discounts on outstanding grants with post-vesting holding restrictions vary from 11 percent to 20 percent and are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model-protective put method. The duration of the restriction period to sell or transfer vested awards, changes in the measured stock price volatility and changes in interest rates are the primary reasons for changes in the discount. These grants are being expensed based on the terms of the awards.
Performance-based Awards
We have awarded PSUs on an annual basis to certain key employees. These PSUs vest over a three-year period based on the achievement of certain cumulative dilutive earnings per share targets. These PSUs contain an upside opportunity of up to 200 percent of target contingent upon obtaining certain targets mentioned above over their respective performance period.
Time-based Awards
We award time-based restricted stock units to certain key employees. These time-based awards are granted on an annual basis and vest over a three-year period. In 2023, we also granted retention awards, which vest over a one-year to three-year period. These awards vest primarily based on the passage of time and the employee’s continued employment.
We granted 247,793 PSUs at target and 292,406 time-based restricted stock units in February 2026 that vest over a three-year period. The PSUs will vest upon achieving cumulative three-year dilutive earnings per share targets and contain an upside opportunity of up to 200 percent. The PSUs and time-based restricted stock unit awards had a weighted average grant date fair value of $197.73 and provide for two-years of post-termination vesting upon a qualified retirement.
On May 29, 2026, we granted 8,714 time-based restricted stock units and 34,857 PSUs at target as a special equity award to our Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer. The time-based restricted stock units vest over a five-year period, with 20 percent vesting on each anniversary of the grant date, and have a weighted average grant date fair value of $177.74. The PSUs vest over a five-year performance period (fiscal years 2026 through 2030) based on the achievement of certain strategic growth and talent development milestones, together with an outperformance component tied to adjusted earnings per share targets, and have a weighted average grant date fair value of $177.74.
We have also awarded restricted stock units to certain key employees and non-employee directors which are fully vested upon date of grant. These units contain restrictions on the awardees’ ability to sell or transfer vested units for a specified period of time. The fair value of these units is established using the same method discussed above. These awards have been expensed on the date of grant.
As of June 30, 2026, there was unrecognized compensation expense of $226.3 million related to previously granted stock awards assuming maximum achievement is obtained on our PSUs. The amount of future expense to be recognized will be based on the passage of time and contingent upon obtaining certain targets mentioned above over their respective performance period.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan – Our 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allows our employees to contribute up to $10,000 of their annual cash compensation to purchase company stock. On May 7, 2026, our shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which increases the allowed employee contribution to the Internal Revenue Code annual limit of $25,000. The amendments become effective January 1, 2027, and will apply beginning with the first offering period of 2027. The purchase price is determined using the closing price on the last day of each quarter discounted by 15 percent. Shares vest immediately. The following is a summary of the employee stock purchase plan activity (dollars in thousands):

LITIGATION

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
LITIGATION LITIGATION
Except as described below, we are not subject to any pending or threatened litigation other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business operations, including certain contingent auto liability cases. For some legal proceedings, we have accrued an amount that reflects the aggregate liability deemed probable and estimable, but this amount is not material to our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Because of the preliminary nature of many of these proceedings, the difficulty in ascertaining the applicable facts relating to many of these proceedings, the inconsistent treatment of claims made in many of these proceedings, and the difficulty of predicting the settlement value of many of these proceedings, we are often unable to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible additional losses. However, based upon our historical experience, the resolution of these proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On July 23, 2026, a jury verdict (the “Verdict”) was rendered in Dallas County District Court in Texas, in the matter of Lipe v. Lupus Superior, LLC, et al. (the“Lipe Matter”). The Verdict included a determination by the jury that we negligently hired Lupus Superior, LLC, an independent contractor motor carrier, in connection with the transportation of a shipment of our customer's freight that was involved in a tragic, catastrophic accident in March 2021. The Verdict attributed 23 percent of the total monetary damages of $604 million to us, with the remainder attributed to the third-party contract motor carrier, Lupus Superior, LLC, and the Lupus Superior, LLC truck driver. Notwithstanding this allocation, because the jury found us vicariously liable for the conduct of the motor carrier and its driver, we may be held jointly and severally liable for the entire $604 million of total monetary damages awarded.
Based on knowledge of the facts, available insurance coverage, and the analysis of our internal and external counsel, an immaterial accrual was included in other accrued liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, with respect to the Lipe Matter. We do not believe it is probable that the full amount of the judgment will be sustained, and given the extreme nature of the Verdict, no reasonable estimate of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the immaterial accrual can be made. For the time period in question, we maintain liability and excess insurance policies with $155 million of coverage per occurrence, subject to a $5 million deductible.
The independent contractor motor carrier worked with many brokers and shippers, and the driver worked for the carrier. He did not communicate with C.H. Robinson, and we did not supervise, direct, or control his actions. C.H. Robinson does not employ or control drivers. We strongly disagree with the Verdict and believe the law and the facts support our position and intend to appeal immediately if it is entered as final. No assurances can be provided as to the probability of success with respect to any post-trial motions or appeals relating to the Verdict, or as to the ultimate outcome of any such motions or appeals. The total cost associated with this matter, which may include interest, bonding-related costs, and legal and other professional fees, will depend on many factors, and the ultimate financial impact, as well as the timing of the ultimate resolution of this matter, are difficult to predict.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT REPORTING SEGMENT REPORTING
Our segments are based on our method of internal reporting, which generally segregates the segments by service line and the primary services they provide to our customers. The internal reporting of segments is aligned with the reporting and review process used by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer. We do not report our intersegment revenues by segment to our CODM and do not believe they are a meaningful metric for evaluating the performance of our reportable segments.
Our CODM utilizes segment operating income as the primary measure to evaluate the performance of our reportable segments. Operating income is an important measure of our ability to optimize our cost structure through innovation of our proprietary operating systems and accelerating the capabilities of our workforce. It also guides the allocation of resources, including employees, technology investments, and capital resource investments to each segment. Additionally, operating income is also an important measure of our ability to maintain pricing discipline and drive profitable growth while effectively serving our customers and contract carriers. We consider operating income to be our primary performance metric. The review of segment performance and the allocation of resources occurs primarily in the annual budgeting process and through a regular cadence of operating reviews to monitor the progress of strategic initiatives included in our enterprise balanced scorecard. We identify two reportable segments with all other segments included in “All Other and Corporate” as follows:
•North American Surface Transportation: NAST provides freight transportation services across North America through a network of offices in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The primary services provided by NAST are truckload and less than truckload (“LTL”) transportation services.
•Global Forwarding: Global Forwarding provides global logistics services through an international network of offices in North America, Asia, Europe, Oceania, South America, and the Middle East and also contracts with independent
agents worldwide. The primary services provided by Global Forwarding include ocean freight services, air freight services, and customs brokerage.
•All Other and Corporate: All Other and Corporate includes our Robinson Fresh and Managed Solutions segments, as well as Other Surface Transportation outside of North America and other miscellaneous revenues and unallocated corporate expenses. Robinson Fresh provides sourcing services including the buying, selling, and/or marketing of fresh fruits, vegetables, and other value-added perishable items. Managed Solutions provides Transportation Management Services, or Managed TMS. Other Surface Transportation revenues were primarily earned by our Europe Surface Transportation segment which was sold effective February 1, 2025. Europe Surface Transportation provided transportation and logistics services including truckload and LTL transportation services across Europe. Refer to Note 14, Divestitures, for further discussion related to the sale of our Europe Surface Transportation business.
The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies located in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Leases [Abstract]  
LEASES LEASES
We determine if our contractual agreements contain a lease at inception. A lease is identified when a contract allows us the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Our lease agreements consist primarily of operating leases for office space, warehouses, office equipment, and trailers. We do not have material financing leases. Frequently, we enter into contractual relationships with a wide variety of transportation companies for freight capacity and utilize those relationships to efficiently and cost-effectively arrange the transport of our customers’ freight. These contracts typically have a term of twelve months or less and do not allow us to direct the use or obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of a specifically identified asset. Accordingly, these agreements are not considered leases.
Our operating leases are included on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities. A right-of-use lease asset represents our right to use an underlying asset over the term of a lease, while a lease liability represents our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Current and noncurrent lease liabilities are recognized on the commencement date at the present value of lease payments, including non-lease components, which consist primarily of common area maintenance and parking charges. Right-of-use lease assets are also recognized on the commencement date as the total lease liability plus prepaid rents. As our leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, we use our fully collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is influenced by market interest rates, our credit rating, and lease term, and as such, may differ for individual leases.
Our lease agreements typically do not contain variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, purchase options, or restrictive covenants. Many of our leases include the option to renew for a period of months to several years. The term of our leases may include the option to renew when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option, although these occurrences are seldom. We have lease agreements with lease components (e.g., payments for rent) and non-lease components (e.g., payments for common area maintenance and parking), which are all accounted for as a single lease component.
We do not have material lease agreements that have not yet commenced that are expected to create significant rights or obligations as of June 30, 2026.

(1) During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized a $6.3 million impairment charge related to our Kansas City regional center lease which is included in All Other and Corporate. The impairment resulted from the execution of a sublease agreement on a portion of the facility. The impairment was determined by comparing the discounted cash flows of the head lease and sublease rental payments. All other right-of use asset impairment charges were associated with restructuring initiatives. Refer to Note 13, Restructuring, for further discussion related to our restructuring programs.

Other comprehensive income was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily driven by small fluctuations in a number of currencies. Other comprehensive income was $28.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by fluctuations in the Singapore dollar, Euro, and Australian dollar.
Other comprehensive loss was nominal for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as other comprehensive losses in the Euro and Polish zloty were largely offset by other comprehensive income in the Australian dollar and Singapore dollar. Other comprehensive income was $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by fluctuations in the Singapore dollar, Euro, and Australian dollar.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
RESTRUCTURING RESTRUCTURING
2025 Restructuring Program: In the second quarter of 2025, we initiated a restructuring program (the “2025 Restructuring Program”) aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and achieving cost savings through the adoption of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (“AI”). The program is centered around two key initiatives:
Process Optimization and Workforce Productivity - The first initiative focuses on streamlining operations by leveraging cutting-edge technological innovations to significantly enhance workforce productivity. This includes the integration of automation and AI-driven solutions to reduce manual processes and improve overall efficiency. As a result of this initiative, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur, severance and related personnel costs associated with workforce reductions.
Facilities Consolidation and Footprint Optimization - The second initiative involves the consolidation and centralization of our facilities to align with the reduced workforce resulting from the first initiative. This effort is designed to optimize our physical footprint and support a more agile and cost-effective operating model. As a result of this initiative, we have recognized asset impairments related to the early termination or abandonment of certain facilities under operating leases.
These initiatives are expected to materially reduce our cost structure and better position the Company for sustainable, long-term growth in an increasingly technology-driven marketplace. The 2025 Restructuring Program is expected to span the next two years, during which we will continue to implement advanced technologies across the enterprise and review opportunities to consolidate our global facilities.
We recognized restructuring charges of $7.5 million and $27.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, primarily related to workforce reductions and related personnel expenses. We expect to incur restructuring charges of $50 million to $75 million in total between 2025 through early 2028 primarily related to severance and other personnel related costs and impairments related to the early termination or abandonment of facilities under operating leases for the 2025 Restructuring Program. The amount and timing of the restructuring charges we will recognize depend upon multiple factors, such as the implementation and integration of automation and AI-driven solutions across targeted areas of the enterprise, natural employee turnover, and our ability to consolidate our global facilities. We paid $26.5 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2026 related to the 2025 Restructuring Program.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]  
DIVESTITURES DIVESTITURES
Europe Surface Transportation Divestiture: In 2024, we entered into an agreement with sennder Technologies GmbH to sell our Europe Surface Transportation business, which was included in our All Other and Corporate segment. The divestiture was part of our enterprise strategy to drive focus on profitable growth in our four core modes—North American truckload and LTL and global ocean and air—as engines to ignite growth and create the most value for our stakeholders. We determined the divestiture did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our consolidated results of operations, and therefore the results of our Europe Surface Transportation business are not reported as discontinued operations. The sale included all of the assets and liabilities of the business other than our proprietary technology platform.
Upon entering into the agreement to sell the business in 2024, the assets and liabilities of our Europe Surface Transportation disposal group were classified as held for sale resulting in a $32.8 million pre-tax loss on the disposal group classified as held for sale in 2024. Including the direct costs incurred to sell the business and the loss on the disposal group, the total pre-tax loss recognized was $44.5 million in 2024.
The sale closed effective February 1, 2025. We received $27.7 million of consideration at closing and $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 with additional fixed installment payments due in 2026. The remaining consideration due is collateralized by current and future accounts receivable of the Europe Surface Transportation business. There are no remaining assets and liabilities held for sale as of June 30, 2026.

RECENTLY ADOPTED / ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05 that amends ASC 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The guidance provides a practical expedient that permits an entity to estimate expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions accounted for under ASC 606 by assuming current economic conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change over the remaining life of the asset. We elected the practical expedient in ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026 and applied the guidance prospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU modernizes the accounting for internal‑use software by eliminating the previous software project stage model and replacing it with a principles‑based capitalization threshold. Under the new guidance, entities begin capitalizing internal‑use software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will perform its intended function. The guidance is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may adopt the ASU prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our accounting policies, related capitalization practices, disclosures, and consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires entities to disaggregate specified natural expense categories within each relevant expense caption presented on the income statement using a tabular footnote disclosure. The guidance also requires disclosure of qualitative descriptions for any amounts within those captions that are not separately quantified. The guidance in this ASU is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities may adopt the standard either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment on November 30, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying value (“Step Zero Analysis”). If the Step Zero Analysis indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying value, an additional impairment assessment is performed (“Step One Analysis”). As part of our 2025 annual impairment test, we determined that the fair value of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values and our goodwill balance was not impaired.
There were no changes in circumstances or events identified in the second quarter of 2026 that would indicate an interim impairment analysis was required for any of our remaining reporting units as of June 30, 2026.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
RIGHT-OF-USE LEASE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES Our operating leases are included on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities. A right-of-use lease asset represents our right to use an underlying asset over the term of a lease, while a lease liability represents our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Current and noncurrent lease liabilities are recognized on the commencement date at the present value of lease payments, including non-lease components, which consist primarily of common area maintenance and parking charges. Right-of-use lease assets are also recognized on the commencement date as the total lease liability plus prepaid rents. As our leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, we use our fully collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is influenced by market interest rates, our credit rating, and lease term, and as such, may differ for individual leases.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES Our allowance for credit losses is computed using a number of factors, including our past credit loss experience and our customers' credit ratings, in addition to other customer-specific factors. We have also considered recent trends and developments related to the current macroeconomic environment in determining our ending allowance for credit losses for both accounts receivable and contract assets.

(1) During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized a $6.3 million impairment charge related to our Kansas City regional center lease which is included in All Other and Corporate. The impairment resulted from the execution of a sublease agreement on a portion of the facility. The impairment was determined by comparing the discounted cash flows of the head lease and sublease rental payments. All other right-of use asset impairment charges were associated with restructuring initiatives. Refer to Note 13, Restructuring, for further discussion related to our restructuring programs.
