UNIVERSAL LOGISTICS HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(1)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Universal”) have been prepared by the Company’s management. In these notes, the terms “us,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Universal and its consolidated subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the information required to be set forth therein. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of management’s estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our fiscal year ends on December 31 and consists of four quarters, each with thirteen weeks.
The Company made certain immaterial reclassifications to items in its prior financial statements so that their presentation is consistent with the format in the financial statements for the period ended June 28, 2025. These reclassifications, however, had no effect on reported consolidated net income, comprehensive income, earnings per common share, cash flows, total assets or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.
In June 2024, the Company revised the estimated useful life and salvage values of certain equipment. The change resulted in additional depreciation expense of $
11.3
million recorded during the quarter ended June 29, 2024 ($
8.5
million net of tax, or $
0.32
per basic and diluted share).
Current Economic Conditions
The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures included in its financial statements and accompanying notes and assesses certain accounting matters that require consideration of forecasted financial information. The Company's assumptions about future conditions important to these estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainty, including disruptions to the global supply chain resulting from new or additional tariffs and the negative impact inflationary pressures can have on our operating costs. Prolonged periods of inflation could cause interest rates, equipment, maintenance, labor and other operating costs to continue to increase. New or increased tariffs on imported goods could also impose additional costs on our business or cause disruption in global supply chains. Such disruptions could lead to a decrease in shipping volumes, which would have an adverse impact on our revenues and results of operations.
(2)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU modifies income tax disclosures by requiring greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliations and disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024, using a prospective approach. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard, which is limited to financial statement disclosures.
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 expands disclosures about certain categories of expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company broadly groups its services into the following categories: truckload services, brokerage services, intermodal services, dedicated services and value-added services. We disaggregate these categories and report our service lines separately on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Truckload services include dry van, flatbed, heavy-haul and refrigerated operations. We transport a wide variety of general commodities, including automotive parts, machinery, building materials, paper, food, consumer goods, furniture, steel and other metals on behalf of customers in various industries.
To complement our available capacity, we also provide customers with freight brokerage services by utilizing third-party transportation providers to move freight.
Intermodal services include rail-truck, steamship-truck and support services. Our intermodal support services are primarily short- to medium-distance delivery of rail and steamship containers between the railhead or port and the customer.

Revenue Recognition - continued
Dedicated services are primarily provided in support of automotive and retail customers using van equipment. Our dedicated services are primarily short-run or round-trip moves within a defined geographic area.
Transportation services are short-term in nature; agreements governing their provision generally have a term of
one year
or less. They do not contain significant financing components. The Company recognizes revenue over the period transportation services are provided to the customer, including service performed as of the end of the reporting period for loads currently in-transit, in order to recognize the value that is transferred to a customer over the course of the transportation service.
We determine revenue in-transit using the input method, under which revenue is recognized based on the duration of time that has lapsed from the departure date (start of transportation services) to the arrival date (completion of transportation services). Measurement of revenue in-transit requires the application of significant judgment. We calculate the estimated percentage of an order’s transit time that is complete at period end, and we apply that percentage of completion to the order’s estimated revenue.
Value-added services, which are typically dedicated to individual customer requirements, include lift services, material handling, consolidation, sequencing, sub-assembly, cross-dock services, kitting, repacking, warehousing, returnable container management and specialty project development. Value-added revenues are substantially driven by the level of demand for outsourced logistics services and specialty project needs. Major factors that affect value-added service revenue include changes in manufacturing supply chain requirements and production levels in specific industries, particularly the North American automotive and Class 8 heavy-truck industries.
Revenue is recognized as control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for its services. We have elected to use the “right to invoice” practical expedient to recognize revenue, reflecting that a customer obtains the benefit associated with value-added services as they are provided. The contracts in our value-added services businesses are negotiated agreements, which contain both fixed and variable components. The variability of revenues is driven by volumes and transactions, which are known as of an invoice date. Value-added service contracts typically have terms that extend beyond one year, and they do not include financing components.
In 2024, value-added services included a specialty project development for a specific customer. The specialty project development service was accounted for as a single unit of account (i.e., as a single performance obligation), which was completed in 2024. Revenue was recognized over time as the Company transferred control of the project to the customer. Because we transferred control of the project over time, we recognized revenue to the extent of our progress towards completion of our performance obligations. We use the cost-to-cost method for these contracts, which measures progress towards completion for each performance obligation based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion for the applicable performance obligation. Incurred cost represented work performed, which corresponds with and thereby best represents the transfer of control to the customer. Revenue, including estimated fees or profits, was recorded proportionately as costs were incurred. Cost of operations consists of labor, materials, subcontractor costs, and other direct and indirect costs, and we included them in operating supplies and expenses on the consolidated statements of income.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
FASB ASC Topic 820, “
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and expanded disclosures with respect to fair value measurements.
FASB ASC Topic 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
•
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
We have segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the tables below (in thousands):

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – continued
The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the tables above are as follows:
•
Cash equivalents – This category consists of money market funds which are listed as Level 1 assets and measured at fair value based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
•
Marketable securities – Marketable securities represent equity securities, which consist of common and preferred stocks, are actively traded on public exchanges and are listed as Level 1 assets. Fair value was measured based on quoted prices for these securities in active markets.
•
Interest rate swap – The fair value of our interest rate swap is determined using a methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash receipts (or payments) are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observed market interest rate curves. The fair value measurement also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both the Company’s nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk.
Our Revolving Credit Facility, UACL Credit Agreement, Real Estate Facility and one equipment note consist of variable rate borrowings. We categorize borrowings under these credit agreements as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of these borrowings approximate fair value because the applicable interest rates are adjusted frequently based on short-term market rates.
For our Equipment Financing with fixed rates, the fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. We categorize these borrowings as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying value and estimated fair value of these promissory notes at June 28, 2025 is summarized as follows:

Leases
As of June 28, 2025, our obligations under operating lease arrangements primarily related to the rental of office space, warehouses, freight distribution centers, terminal yards and equipment. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset over the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments resulting from the lease agreement. We recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the effective date of a lease agreement. These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, using our incremental borrowing rate as of the respective dates of lease inception, as the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable. Our incremental borrowing rate is based on collateralized borrowings of similar assets with terms that approximate the lease term when available and when collateralized rates are not available, we use uncollateralized rates with similar terms adjusted for the fact that it is an unsecured rate.
Our lease obligations typically do not include options to purchase the leased property, nor do they contain residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Options to extend or terminate an agreement are included in the lease term when it becomes reasonably certain the option will be exercised. As of June 28, 2025, we were not reasonably certain of exercising any renewal or termination options, and as such, no adjustments were made to the right-of-use lease assets or corresponding liabilities.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, short-term leases, are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for short-term and long-term operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For facility leases, variable lease costs include the costs of common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance for which we pay the lessors an estimate that is adjusted to actual expense on a quarterly or annual basis depending on the underlying contract terms. For equipment leases, variable lease costs may include additional fees associated with using equipment in excess of estimated amounts.

Transactions with Affiliates
Matthew T. Moroun is Chair of our Board of Directors and his son, Matthew J. Moroun, is a member of our Board. Certain Moroun family trusts beneficially own a majority of our outstanding shares. Matthew T. Moroun is trustee of these trusts with investment authority over the shares, and Frederick P. Calderone, a member of our Board, is special trustee of these trusts with voting authority over the shares. The Moroun family also owns or significantly influences the management and operating policies of other businesses engaged in transportation, insurance, business services, and real estate development and management. In the ordinary course of business, we procure from these companies certain supplementary administrative support services, including legal, human resources, tax, and IT infrastructure services. The Audit Committee of our Board reviews and approves related party transactions. The cost of these services is based on the actual or estimated utilization of the specific service.
We also purchase other services from our affiliates.

We pay the direct variable cost of maintenance, fueling and other operational support costs for services delivered at our affiliate’s trucking terminals that are geographically remote from our own facilities. Such costs are billed when incurred, paid on a routine basis, and reflect actual labor utilization, repair parts costs or quantities of fuel purchased.
We lease
22
facilities from related parties. Our occupancy is based on either month-to-month or contractual, multi-year lease arrangements that are billed and paid monthly. Leasing properties from a related party affords us significant operating flexibility; however, we are not limited to such arrangements.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding outstanding non-vested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per common share include dilutive common stock equivalents determined by the treasury stock method. For the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, there were
9,810
and
16,002
weighted average non-vested shares of restricted stock, respectively, included in the denominator for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2024,
34,962
and
28,789
weighted average non-vested shares of restricted stock, respectively, were included in the denominator for the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
In the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, we excluded
57,585
and
40,022
shares, respectively, of non-vested restricted stock from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because such shares were anti-dilutive.
No
shares of non-vested restricted stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because such shares were anti-dilutive during the thirteen weeks or twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2024.

Segment Reporting
We report our financial results in
three
distinct reportable segments: contract logistics, intermodal and trucking, which are based primarily on the services each segment provides. This presentation reflects the manner in which management evaluates our operating segments, including an evaluation of economic characteristics and applicable aggregation criteria.
Operations aggregated in our contract logistics segment deliver value-added or dedicated transportation services to support in-bound logistics to industrial customers and major retailers on a contractual basis, generally pursuant to terms of one year or longer. Our intermodal segment is associated with local and regional drayage moves coordinated by company-managed terminals using a mix of owner-operators, company equipment and third-party capacity providers (broker carriers). Operations included in our trucking segment are associated with individual freight shipments coordinated by our agents and company-managed terminals using a mix of owner-operators, company equipment and broker carriers. Other non-reportable segments are comprised of legacy company-managed brokerage operations and the Company’s subsidiaries that provide support services to other subsidiaries.
The Company’s President and
Chief Executive Officer
serves as our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). Our CODM is responsible for reviewing segment performance and making decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The CODM uses income from operations compared to budgeted, forecasted, and prior period amounts to assess segment performance. Separate balance sheets are not prepared by segment, and we do not provide asset information by segment to the CODM.
The following tables summarize information about our reportable segments for the thirteen week and twenty-six week periods ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024 (in thousands):

Commitments and Contingencies
Our principal commitments relate to long-term real estate leases and payment obligations to equipment vendors.
The Company is involved in certain other claims and pending litigation arising from the ordinary conduct of business. We also provide accruals for claims within our self-insured retention amounts. Based on the knowledge of the facts, and in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, in the Company’s opinion the resolution of these claims and pending litigation will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, if we experience claims that are not covered by our insurance or that exceed our estimated claim reserve, it could increase the volatility of our earnings and have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
At June 28, 2025, approximately
40
% of our employees were subject to collective bargaining agreements that are renegotiated periodically,
23
% of which are subject to contracts that expire in 2025.
(15)
Subsequent Events
On
July 24, 2025
, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $
0.105
per share of common stock, payable on
October 1, 2025
to stockholders of record at the close of business on
September 1, 2025
. Declaration of future cash dividends is subject to final determination by the Board of Directors each quarter after its review of our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, any legal or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA” or the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act includes significant provisions such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and restoration of favorable tax treatments for certain business provisions. ASC 740, “
Income Taxes
,” requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements and will record the effects on deferred tax balances in the third quarter. We do not expect the new legislation to have a material impact on our results of operations.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Some of the statements and assumptions in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. These statements identify prospective information. Important factors could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in the forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “targets,” “could,” “estimate,” “plan,” “intend,” “may,” “should,” “will” and “would” or other similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position or state other “forward-looking” information. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or management’s good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. The factors listed in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q, as well as any other cautionary language in these filings, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.
Overview
Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. is a holding company incorporated in Nevada on May 1, 2025 and previously incorporated in Michigan on December 11, 2001. Our subsidiaries provide a variety of customized transportation and logistics solutions throughout the United States and in Mexico, Canada and Colombia. Our operating subsidiaries provide customers with a broad scope of services across their entire supply chain, including truckload, brokerage, intermodal, dedicated and value-added services.
Our operating subsidiaries provide a comprehensive suite of transportation and logistics solutions that allow our customers and clients to reduce costs and manage their global supply chains more efficiently. We market our services through a direct sales and marketing network focused on selling our portfolio of services to large customers in specific industry sectors, through company-managed facilities, and through a contract network of agents who solicit freight business directly from shippers. We believe our flexible business model is highly scalable and will continue to support our growth with comparatively modest capital expenditure requirements. Our business model, combined with a disciplined approach to contract structuring and pricing, creates a highly flexible cost structure that allows us to expand and contract quickly in response to changes in demand from our customers.
We generate substantially all of our revenues through fees charged to customers for the transportation of freight and for the customized logistics services we provide. We also derive revenue from fuel surcharges, where separately identifiable, loading and unloading activities, equipment detention, container management and storage and other related services. Operations in our intermodal and trucking segments are associated with individual freight shipments coordinated by our agents and company-managed terminals. In contrast, our contract logistics segment delivers value-added services and/or transportation services to specific customers on a dedicated basis, generally pursuant to contract terms of one year or longer. Our segments are further distinguished by the amount of forward visibility we have into pricing and volumes, and also by the extent to which we dedicate resources and company-owned equipment.
The following discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Current Economic Conditions
A prolonged period of inflationary pressures could cause interest rates, equipment, maintenance, labor and other operating costs to continue to increase. If the Company is unable to offset rising costs through corresponding customer rate increases, such increases could adversely affect our results of operations. New or increased tariffs on imported goods could also impose additional costs on our business or cause disruption in global supply chains. Such disruptions could lead to a decrease in shipping volumes, which would have an adverse impact on our revenues and results of operations.
21
While operating cash flows may be negatively impacted by inflation-driven cost increases or reductions in shipping volumes, the Company believes we will be able to finance our near term needs for working capital over the next twelve months, as well as any planned capital expenditures during such period, with cash balances, cash flows from operations, and loans and extensions of credit under our credit facilities and on margin against our marketable securities. Should the impact of inflation-driven cost increases last longer than anticipated, and/or our cash flow from operations decline more than expected, we may need to obtain additional financing. The Company’s ability to fund future operating expenses and capital expenditures, as well as its ability to meet future debt service obligations or refinance indebtedness will depend on future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial, and other factors beyond our control.
Operating Revenues
For financial reporting, we broadly group our services into the following categories: truckload services, brokerage services, intermodal services, dedicated services and value-added services. Our truckload, brokerage and intermodal services are associated with individual freight shipments coordinated by our agents and company-managed terminals, while our dedicated and value-added services are provided to specific customers on a contractual basis, generally pursuant to contract terms of one year or longer. The following table sets forth operating revenues resulting from each of these categories for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, presented as a percentage of total operating revenues:

Operating revenues
. The overall decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to decreases in our transportation-related services. For comparison purposes, the second quarter of 2025 included $55.0 million of revenue attributable to our recent acquisition of Parsec, while the second quarter of 2024 included $44.6 million of revenue attributable to our specialty development program, which was completed in 2024, and $26.6 million of revenue attributable to our now closed company-managed brokerage operation. Operating revenues included separately-identified fuel surcharges of $20.2 million in the second quarter 2025, compared to $24.5 million in the second quarter 2024. Also included in operating revenues were other accessorial charges such as detention, demurrage and storage, which totaled $9.2 million during the second quarter 2025 compared to $8.1 million one year earlier.
Purchased transportation and equipment rent
. Purchased transportation and equipment rent generally increases or decreases in proportion to the revenues generated through owner-operators and other third party providers. These fluctuations are generally correlated with changes in demand for transactional transportation-related services. The absolute decrease in purchased transportation and equipment rental costs was primarily the result of an overall decrease in transactional transportation-related services. In the second quarter 2025, transactional transportation-related service revenues decreased 32.9% compared to the prior year.
Direct personnel and related benefits
. Trends in direct personnel and benefit costs are generally correlated with changes in operating facilities and headcount requirements and, therefore, fluctuate correspondingly with the level of demand for our staffing needs in our contract logistics segment, which includes value-added services and dedicated transportation, as well as the use of employee drivers in certain of our intermodal operations. The increase in the second quarter 2025 was due to an increase in headcount in our contract logistics business due to the acquisition of Parsec. While generalizations about the impact of personnel and related benefits costs are difficult, we manage compensation and staffing levels, including the use of contract labor, to maintain target economics based on near-term projections of demand for our services.
Operating supplies and expenses
. Operating supplies and expenses include items such as fuel, maintenance, cost of materials, communications, utilities and other operating expenses, and generally relate to fluctuations in customer demand. The main element driving the decrease was higher expenses incurred in the second quarter 2024 in connection with the contract logistics specialty development project, which was completed in 2024.
Commission expense
. Commission expense decreased due to decreased revenue in our agency-based truckload business.
Occupancy expense
. The increase in occupancy expense was attributable to an increase in building rents.
General and administrative
. The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily due to a decrease in salaries, wages, benefits and professional fees.
Insurance and claims
. The decrease in insurance and claims expense was primarily due to a decrease in cargo claims.
Depreciation and amortization
. The overall decrease in depreciation and amortization expense resulted from a $1.5 million decrease in depreciation. During the second quarter 2024, Universal revised the estimated useful life and salvage value of certain equipment, and these adjustments resulted in additional depreciation expense of $11.3 million during the period. These adjustments were partially offset by higher depreciation expense in the quarter, including depreciation attributable to the assets acquired from Parsec, and an additional $0.9 million increase in amortization expense attributable to our 2024 business acquisitions.
Interest expense, net
. The increase in net interest expense reflects an increase in our outstanding borrowings. As of June 28, 2025, our outstanding borrowings were $798.6 million compared to $487.8 million at June 29, 2024.
Other non-operating income
. Other non-operating income decreased by $0.7 million compared to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.8 million favorable legal settlement included in the second quarter 2024.
Income tax expense
. Our effective income tax rate was 25.7% in the second quarter 2025 compared to 25.3% in the second quarter 2024. The decrease in income taxes is primarily the result of a decrease in taxable income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary uses of cash are working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividend payments, share repurchases, and debt service requirements. Additionally, we may use cash for acquisitions and other investment and financing activities. Working capital is required principally to ensure we are able to run the business and have sufficient funds to satisfy maturing short-term debt and operational expenses. Our capital expenditures consist primarily of transportation equipment, investments in support of our value-added service operations and the expansion of our terminal network.
Historically, our primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operations. In addition, we have a $400 million revolving credit facility maturing in September 30, 2027, and we may increase the available capacity by $200 million upon our request. At June 28, 2025, $29.1 million was available for borrowing.
Our UACL subsidiaries have credit facility maturing in September 30, 2027, which includes a $10 million revolver. At June 28, 2025, $7.8 million was available for borrowing.
We also finance the purchase of transportation and certain operating equipment with promissory notes. The notes are secured by liens on the specific equipment and are generally payable in 60 to 72 monthly installments.
We also have a $165.4 million term loan facility that matures in April 2032, and it is secured by first-priority mortgages on specific parcels of owned real estate.
We also maintain a short-term line of credit secured by our portfolio of marketable securities. We did not have any amounts advanced against the line as of June 28, 2025, and the maximum available borrowings were $5.2 million.
26
We anticipate that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet our requirements for the foreseeable future. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that we will obtain these funds through additional borrowings, equity offerings, or a combination of these potential sources of liquidity. Our ability to fund future operating expenses and capital expenditures, as well as our ability to meet future debt service obligations or refinance our indebtedness, will depend on our future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial, and other factors beyond our control.
In the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, our capital expenditures totaled $136.8 million. These expenditures primarily consisted of transportation equipment, investments in support of our value-added service operations and the expansion of our terminal network. Through the remainder of 2025, we expect our capital expenditures to be in the range of $20 million to $50 million.
The following table presents our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and outstanding debt and the present value of our operating lease liabilities as of June 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

At June 28, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our credit agreements and the agreements governing our promissory notes. For additional information on our financing arrangements, see Item 1, Note 6 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Discussion of Cash Flows
At June 28, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $24.3 million compared to $19.4 million at December 31, 2024. Operating activities provided $110.0 million in net cash, financing activities provided an additional $30.3 million, and we used $130.0 million in investing activities.
The $110.0 million in net cash provided by operations was primarily attributed to $14.3 million of net income, which reflects non-cash depreciation and amortization, noncash lease expense, gains on marketable equity securities and equipment sales, amortization of debt issuance costs, stock-based compensation, provisions for credit losses, and a change in deferred income taxes totaling $85.2 million, net. Net cash provided by operating activities also reflects an aggregate decrease in net working capital totaling $10.5 million. The primary drivers behind the decrease in working capital was a decreases in trade accounts receivable, contract receivable and other assets, and increases in trade accounts payable and accruals for insurance and claims. These were partially offset by principal reductions in operating lease liabilities during the period, increases in prepaid expenses and other receivables, and prepaid income taxes, and decreases in accrued expenses and other current and long-term liabilities. Affiliate transactions decreased net cash provided by operating activities by $5.5 million. The decrease in net cash resulted from a decrease in accounts payable to affiliates of $4.5 million and an increase in accounts receivable from affiliates of $1.0 million.
The $130.0 million in net cash used in investing activities consisted of $136.8 million in capital expenditures, which was partially offset by $4.5 million in proceeds from the sale of equipment and $2.3 million in proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.
Financing activities provided $30.3 million in net cash during the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025. We had outstanding borrowings totaling $798.6 million at June 28, 2025 compared to $762.6 million at December 31, 2024. During the period, we made payments on term loan and equipment and real estate notes totaling $63.5 million, borrowed $37.2 million for new equipment and had net borrowings on our revolving lines of credit totaling $62.2 million. During the period, we also paid cash dividends of $5.5 million and purchased $0.1 million of treasury stock.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 28, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of critical accounting policies is presented in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies,” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no changes in our accounting policies during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2025.
27
Seasonality
Generally, demand for our value-added services delivered to existing customers increases during the second calendar quarter of each year as a result of the automotive industry’s spring selling season. Conversely, such demand generally decreases during the third quarter of each year due to the impact of scheduled OEM customer plant shutdowns in July for vacations and changeovers in production lines for new model years.
Our value-added services business is also impacted in the fourth quarter by plant shutdowns during the December holiday period. Prolonged adverse weather conditions, particularly in winter months, can also adversely impact margins due to productivity declines and related challenges meeting customer service requirements.
Additionally, our transportation services business, excluding dedicated transportation tied to specific customer supply chains, is generally impacted by decreased activity during the post-holiday winter season and, in certain states during hurricane season, because some shippers reduce their shipments and inclement weather impedes trucking operations or underlying customer demand.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have not been any material changes to the Company’s market risk during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2025. For additional information, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 28, 2025. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives of ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. There is no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will operate effectively under all circumstances.
In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, we concluded there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting resulting from errors in our financial statement preparation and the accounting for non-routine transactions that created changes within our business. The primary cause of the errors was the need for additional technical accounting resources to allow us to accurately record and properly present our financial statements and related disclosures. As discussed below, we are taking steps to remediate this material weakness in internal control over financial reporting; however, we are not yet able to determine whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the material weakness.
Because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as previously disclosed, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 28, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Remediation and Plans for Remediation of Material Weakness
Management is currently in the process of planning for and implementing remediation efforts to address the identified material weakness. We plan on remediating our material weakness by enhancing our internal staff of accounting and financial reporting employees with employees that have the requisite technical accounting knowledge. We also plan to expand our use of external consulting firms to provide advisory support for technical accounting guidance. We further intend to design and implement controls to formalize review procedures around the financial close process with appropriate segregation of duties.
Management believes the steps outlined above will resolve the material weakness identified. We will continue to monitor and improve our internal controls over financial reporting. We may take additional steps or modify our plans for remediation to provide for reasonable assurance that we effectively maintain internal controls over financial reporting. We will consider the material weakness remediated after the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are taking actions to remediate the material weakness relating to our internal controls over financial reporting, as described above. Except as otherwise described herein, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Management recognizes that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
For information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 14 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Part I of this report.
ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to Our Business
Our results and operations could be adversely affected by economic or geopolitical developments, including protectionist trade policies such as tariffs, export controls, or other events.
Because we transact business as a part of various global supply chains, global economic conditions and changes in international trade policy can have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or our business, in general. Steps taken by governments to apply additional or new tariffs on products and materials might disrupt existing supply chains, impose additional costs on our business, and could lead to other countries attempting to retaliate by imposing their own tariffs. If the tariff increases on imports to the United States from, among other countries, Canada, Mexico, and China, are sustained for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on our results and operations. Further, any retaliatory tariffs or actions by other governments would exacerbate the impact.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws have, and under Nevada law are subject to, provisions that could deter or prevent a change of control.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that might enable our management to resist a proposed takeover of our Company. These provisions could discourage, delay, or prevent a change of control of our Company or an acquisition of our Company at a price that our stockholders may find attractive. These provisions also may discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for our stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. The existence of these provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. These provisions include:
•
a requirement that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our President, Chief Executive Officer, or the Chairman of our Board of Directors, and such meetings shall be called by the President or Secretary when requested in writing by two or more members of our Board of Directors or stockholders owning at least 75% of our outstanding common stock;
•
advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations;
•
the authority of our Board of Directors to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with such terms as the Board of Directors may determine, including in connection with our implementation of any stockholders rights plan;
•
the inapplicability of Nevada statutes relating to acquisitions of controlling interests in the Company by Matthew T. Moroun, his spouse or their children (the “Moroun Family”), any trust for the benefit of one or more members the Moroun Family, or any corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, or other entity controlled by one or more members of the Moroun Family; and
•
an exclusive forum bylaw provision requiring that any derivative action brought on behalf of the corporation, any action asserting a claim of breach of a legal or fiduciary duty and any similar claim under the Nevada Revised Statutes or our articles of incorporation must be brought exclusively in the Eighth Judicial District Court sitting in Clark County, Nevada (or, if such court of the State of Nevada lacks jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Nevada or other state courts of the State of Nevada).
In addition, certain provisions of Nevada law that apply to us could discourage or prevent a change of control or acquisition of our Company.
There have been no other material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A to Part 1 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
