Financial Performance

Net sales increased by $113 million, or 4.5%, to $2.61 billion compared to the same period in 2024. Organic sales increased $133 million, while acquisitions contributed $23 million, offset by a $43 million decrease due to unfavorable changes in foreign exchange.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 65.5% compared to 67.3% in the prior year. The improvement is attributed to favorable mix within the Freight Segment, strong productivity, Integration 2.0 savings, and proactive cost management.

Total operating expenses increased $23 million, or 5.7%, primarily due to higher sales volume, higher employee compensation and benefit costs, and transaction costs associated with announced acquisitions. SG&A included $10 million for transaction costs.
