GXO Logistics Boosts Earnings and Outlook for 2025
GXO Logistics, a leading global logistics company, has announced its second-quarter earnings, showcasing a robust performance and a promising outlook for the future.
The company reported a 16% year-over-year increase in consolidated revenue, reaching $3.3 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $3.1 billion. GXO's earnings per share (EPS) also saw a 57-cent increase, 2 cents higher than the previous year and 1 cent ahead of the consensus estimate.
The strong Q2 performance marks the fourth consecutive quarter that GXO has exceeded consensus estimates. Moreover, the company raised its adjusted EBITDA guidance by $5 million, setting a new range of $865 million to $885 million.
New business wins were a significant driver of GXO's success, with the company signing deals worth $307 million in Q2 alone. This brings the total business wins for the first half of 2025 to $535 million. The new deals are primarily driven by increased interest from the e-commerce and reverse logistics sectors.
The company's pipeline also shows promise, standing at $2.4 billion at the end of Q2. Management described it as "more diverse than ever before," with an increased focus on warehouse automation opportunities and AI-driven inventory replenishment in e-commerce.
However, there are some changes in management. Baris Oran, the current CFO, is leaving the company to pursue other opportunities but will remain until a new CFO is named. Patrick Kelleher, a supply chain veteran, will succeed Malcolm Wilson as CEO, who is retiring this month.
Looking ahead, GXO Logistics is optimistic about its growth prospects in 2025. The company expects organic revenue growth of 3.5% to 6.5% and adjusted EBITDA between $865 million and $885 million. This outlook is supported by the $535 million in new business wins in the first half of the year.
GXO is entering 2026 with more incremental revenue booked than ever before, signaling a promising start to the new year. The company remains confident in delivering its full-year organic outlook and sees customers preparing for a good holiday season.
