What management said
- •However, even as overall company revenue decreased approximately 1% year over year, the 2025 third quarter included important positive signs for Landstar, which I'll cover shortly.
- •The total revenue increased approximately 1% year over year in the 2025 third quarter.
- •This service type posted another strong quarter with a 4% year-over-year revenue increase driven by the performance of Landstar's heavy haul service offering.
- •We generated approximately $147 million of heavy haul revenue during the 2025 third quarter, or a 17% increase over the 2024 third quarter.
- •This achievement reflected a 9% increase in heavy haul revenue per load and an 8% increase in heavy haul volume.
- •Our focus continues to be on accelerating our business model and executing on our strategic growth initiatives.
- •As I previously noted, in addition to the decision to sell Landstar Metro, our third quarter financial results reflected two other non-cash, non-recurring charges disclosed in our recent 8-K.
- •Turning to slide five, the freight environment in the 2025 third quarter was characterized by relatively soft demand from a seasonal perspective.
- •Considering that backdrop, Landstar's revenue performance was admirable in the 2025 third quarter, with both truck revenue per load and the number of loads hauled via truck essentially equal to the 2024 third quarter.
- •Our balance sheet continues to be very strong, and our capital allocation priorities are unchanged.
- •As noted in the slide deck, during the first nine months of 2025, we deployed approximately $143 million of capital toward buybacks and repurchased approximately 995,000 shares of common stock.
- •Yesterday afternoon, our board declared a $0.40 dividend payable on December 9 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 18.
