XPO has driven meaningful improvement in service, yields and margins over the past few BCI, US

years; the path forward remains bright as the company appears well positioned to capture

share as demand continues to improve. XPO has taken tangible steps to achieve long-term

financial targets over the past few years, with LTL operating income and margin improving

nearly 40% and 400bps, respectively, since 2023. The hiring of COO Dave Bates that year

coincided with a positive inflection in the company’s service metrics and labor productivity, and

management has executed on initiatives ranging from linehaul insourcing to driving meaningful

yield expansion and capital investment in the network.
