OMAHA, Neb., October 30, 2025 -- Werner Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: WERN), a premier transportation and logistics provider, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Third quarter results reflected a more challenging freight environment, with mixed results across our business segments. Dedicated revenue grew both sequentially and year-over-year, supported by recent new fleet awards. Logistics maintained its double-digit topline growth while continuing to manage operating expenses effectively, although gross margin was pressured by a change in business mix. In One-Way Truckload, revenue per total mile rose for the fifth consecutive quarter, but reduced miles per truck and elevated operating costs impacted performance. Despite the softer operating backdrop, we remain focused on cost discipline, technology-driven efficiency, and capital allocation, while maintaining strong liquidity and a modern fleet. These efforts continue to support our long-term strategy and positive operating cash flow.

Total revenues for the quarter were $771.5 million, an increase of $25.8 million compared to the prior year, due to an increase in Logistics revenues of $25.8 million, or 12%, partially offset by a $3.0 million, or 1%, decrease in Truckload Transportation Services (“TTS”) revenues. A portion of the TTS revenue decline was due to $3.3 million lower fuel surcharge revenues. Net of trucking fuel surcharge revenues, consolidated total revenues increased $29.1 million, or 4%, during the quarter.

Operating loss of $13.0 million decreased $30.6 million, or 174%, while operating margin of (1.7)% declined 410 basis points from 2.4%. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted operating income of $10.9 million decreased $10.7 million, or 50%. Adjusted operating margin of 1.4% declined 150 basis points from 2.9%.

In October 2025, we entered into an agreement for $18.0 million to settle a class action lawsuit with respect to claims brought by a group of plaintiffs alleging unpaid wages, unauthorized deductions, and other items. An accrual for this settlement was recorded as of September 30, 2025, and is included in salaries, wages and benefits expense. We also incurred legal fees of $3.4 million related to this litigation during third quarter 2025, which is recorded in other operating expenses. These items are included as non-GAAP adjustments to operating income during the quarter.

TTS had an operating loss of $13.8 million compared to $21.6 million operating income in the prior year, and TTS had non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $9.0 million, a decrease of $15.5 million. Logistics had operating income of $3.0 million compared to $0.3 million operating loss in the prior year, and Logistics had non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $4.2 million, an increase of $3.4 million. Corporate and Other (including driving schools) operating loss improved $1.5 million.

Net interest expense of $8.6 million decreased $0.7 million primarily due to a decrease in average interest rates, partially offset by an increase in average debt outstanding. The effective income tax rate during the quarter decreased to 3.8%, compared to 23.5% in third quarter 2024 due to differences in discrete income tax items.

During third quarter 2025 we had net losses on our strategic investments of $0.3 million compared to net gains of $0.3 million in the prior year. Consistent with prior reporting, increases or decreases to the values of these strategic investments are adjusted out for determining non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP adjusted earnings (loss) per share.

Net loss attributable to Werner was $20.6 million compared to $6.6 million net income attributable to Werner in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net loss attributable to Werner was $2.0 million compared to $9.1 million adjusted net income attributable to Werner in the prior year. Diluted loss per share was $0.34 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.11 in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.03 compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.15 in the prior year.

•Revenues of $519.8 million decreased $3.0 million; trucking revenues, net of fuel surcharge, remained flat year over year

•Operating loss of $13.8 million compared to $21.6 million operating income in the prior year; non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $9.0 million decreased $15.5 million mostly due to a $9.2 million increase in insurance and claims expense, net impact of change in fuel (surcharges net of fuel expense), and expense associated with implementation of new fleets in Dedicated

•Operating margin of (2.7)% decreased 680 basis points from 4.1%; non-GAAP adjusted operating margin, net of fuel surcharge, of 1.9% decreased 340 basis points from 5.3%, of which 250 basis points of decline is from the increase in insurance and Dedicated start-ups

•Average segment trucks in service totaled 7,503, an increase of 89 trucks year over year, or 1.2%, while segment trucks at quarter end remained flat

•Dedicated unit trucks at quarter end totaled 4,965, or 67% of the total TTS segment fleet, compared to 4,905 trucks, or 66%, a year ago

•Average revenues per truck per week, net of fuel surcharge decreased 0.7% for TTS

During third quarter 2025, Dedicated experienced a net increase in average trucks in service, up 56 trucks or 1.2% year over year, and up 10 trucks sequentially. Dedicated quarter-end fleet size was up 1.2% year over year and up 1.5% sequentially driven by implementations of new fleets won in Dedicated in the first quarter 2025. Dedicated average revenues per truck per week, net of fuel surcharge, increased 1.3%. One-Way revenues per total mile, net of fuel surcharge, increased 0.4% year over year.

•Revenues of $232.6 million increased $25.8 million, or 12%

•Operating income of $3.0 million compared to $0.3 million operating loss in the prior year; non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $4.2 million increased $3.4 million, or 418%

•Operating margin of 1.3% increased 150 basis points from (0.2%); non-GAAP adjusted operating margin of 1.8% increased 140 basis points from 0.4%

Truckload Logistics revenues (75% of Logistics revenues) increased $19.8 million, or 13%, driven by an increase in shipments of 12%. Revenue from our PowerLink offering was up 26% while traditional brokerage recorded mid-single digit revenue growth. Higher volume drove the majority of the revenue increase.

Intermodal revenues (15% of Logistics revenues) increased $6.4 million, or 23%, due to 22% more shipments, and relatively stable revenue per shipment.

Final Mile revenues (10% of Logistics revenues) decreased $0.3 million, or 1%, but increased 4% sequentially.

Cash flow from operations in third quarter 2025 was $44.1 million compared to $61.0 million in third quarter 2024, a decrease of 28%.

Net capital expenditures in third quarter 2025 were $35.2 million compared to $87.9 million in third quarter 2024, a decrease of 60%. We continue to prioritize business reinvestment in safe and modern equipment, including trucks and trailers, as well as in technology, our terminal network and our talent. The average ages of our truck and trailer fleets were 2.5 years and 5.5 years, respectively, as of September 30, 2025. Maintaining a low-age, modern fleet improves our driver experience and results in more effective equipment maintenance, safety and fuel efficiency.

Gains on sales of property and equipment in third quarter 2025 were $4.5 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to $2.6 million, or $0.03 per share, in third quarter 2024. Year over year, we sold 66% and 78% fewer tractors and trailers, respectively, and realized much higher average unit gains on tractors and trailers. Gains on sales of property and equipment are reflected as a reduction of other operating expenses in our income statement.

We did not repurchase shares of our common stock in third quarter 2025. As of September 30, 2025, we had 5.0 million shares remaining under our new share repurchase authorization approved by the Board of Directors in August 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, we had $51 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.4 billion of stockholders’ equity. Total debt outstanding was $725 million at September 30, 2025. After considering letters of credit issued, we had available liquidity consisting of cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2025 of $695 million.

The following table summarizes our updated 2025 guidance assumptions:

(1) Net of fuel surcharge revenues

(2) Includes $4.7 million of discrete income tax adjustments in 3Q25

(1) Under the terms of our insurance policies, we were the primary obligor of the damage award in a previously disclosed adverse jury verdict, and as such, we had recorded a $79.2 million receivable from our third-party insurance providers in other non-current assets and a corresponding liability of the same amount in the long-term portion of insurance and claims accruals in the unaudited condensed balance sheet as of December 31,2024. On June 27, 2025, the Texas Supreme Court reversed the verdict and rendered a judgment in our favor, effectively ending the case in our favor. As a result of the Texas Supreme Court’s verdict, we reversed the $79.2 million receivable and corresponding liability of the same amount in June 2025. In June 2025, we also reversed a $45.7 million liability (including interest) we had recorded in the long-term portion of insurance and claims accruals in the unaudited condensed balance sheet.

(1) Other includes our driver training schools, transportation-related activities such as third-party equipment maintenance and equipment leasing, and other business activities.

(1) Net of fuel surcharge revenues

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we provide certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC Regulation G, including non-GAAP adjusted operating income; non-GAAP adjusted operating margin; non-GAAP adjusted operating margin, net of fuel surcharge; non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Werner; non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share; non-GAAP adjusted operating revenues, net of fuel surcharge; non-GAAP adjusted operating revenues, less purchased transportation expense; non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses; non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge; non-GAAP adjusted operating ratio; and non-GAAP adjusted operating ratio, net of fuel surcharge. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide a more useful comparison of our performance from period to period because they exclude the effect of items that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as substitutes for their comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. Although we believe that they improve comparability in analyzing our period to period performance, they could limit comparability to other companies in our industry if those companies define these measures differently. Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered measures of income generated by our business.

Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis.

The following tables present reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as required by SEC Regulation G. In addition, information regarding each of the excluded items as well as our reasons for excluding them from our non-GAAP results is provided below.

(1) Non-GAAP adjusted operating income; non-GAAP adjusted operating margin; non-GAAP adjusted operating margin, net of fuel surcharge; non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Werner; non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share; non-GAAP adjusted operating revenues, net of fuel surcharge; non-GAAP adjusted operating revenues, less purchased transportation expense; non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses; non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge; non-GAAP adjusted operating ratio; and non-GAAP adjusted operating ratio, net of fuel surcharge should be considered in addition to, rather than as substitutes for, GAAP operating income (loss); GAAP operating margin; GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Werner; GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share; GAAP operating revenues; GAAP operating expenses; and GAAP operating ratio, which are their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

(2) Prior to second quarter 2025, we accrued pre-tax insurance and claims expense for interest related to a previously disclosed excess adverse jury verdict rendered on May 17, 2018 in a lawsuit arising from a December 2014 accident. Additional information about the accident was included in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 17, 2018. Under our insurance policies in effect on the date of this accident, our maximum liability for this accident was $10.0 million (plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest) with premium-based insurance coverage that exceeded the jury verdict amount. We continued to accrue pre-tax insurance and claims expense for interest at $0.5 million per month (excluding months where the plaintiffs requested an extension of time to respond to our petition for review) until our appeal was finalized in second quarter 2025. Management believes excluding the effect of this item provides a more useful comparison of our performance from period to period. This item is included in our Truckload Transportation Services segment.

(3) In October 2025, we reached an agreement with the plaintiffs in the consolidated class action lawsuits entitled Abarca et al. v. Werner that are pending in the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska, to settle these cases for a combined $18 million. The settlement is subject to court approval. An accrual for this settlement was recorded as of September 30, 2025, and is included in salaries, wages and benefits in our Income Statement. We also incurred legal fees of $3.4 million related to this litigation during third quarter 2025, which is recorded in other operating expenses in our Income Statement. Management believes excluding the effect of these items provides a more useful comparison of our performance from period to period. These items are included in our Truckload Transportation Services segment.

(4) Amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired in our business acquisitions is excluded because management does not believe it is indicative of our core operating performance. This item is included in our Truckload Transportation Services and Werner Logistics segments.

(5) Contingent consideration, also referred to as earnout, adjustments related to our business acquisitions are excluded because management does not believe these adjustments are indicative of our core operating performance. The adjustments are recorded in other operating expenses in our Income Statement and are included in our Truckload Transportation Services segment.

(6) Severance expense is excluded because management does not believe it is indicative of our core operating performance. This item is included in salaries, wages and benefits in our Income Statement and is included in our Truckload Transportation Services and Werner Logistics segments.

(7) During second quarter 2024, we sold two parcels of real estate which resulted in a $1.8 million net pre-tax gain on sale. Management believes excluding the effect of these unusual and infrequent items provides a more useful comparison of our performance from period to period. These items are included in our Corporate segment.

(8) Represents non-operating mark-to-market adjustments for gains/losses on our minority equity investments, which we account for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321, Investments – Equity Securities. Management believes excluding the effect of gains/losses on our investments in equity securities provides a more useful comparison of our performance from period to period. We record changes in the value of our investments in equity securities in other expense (income) in our Income Statement.

(9) Represents earnings/losses from our equity method investment, which we account for under ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Management believes excluding the effect of earnings/losses from our equity method investment provides a more useful comparison of our performance from period to period. We record earnings/losses from our equity method investment in other expense (income) in our Income Statement.

(10) The income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments is calculated using the incremental income tax rate excluding discrete items, and the income tax effect for 2024 has been updated to reflect the annual incremental income tax rate.

(11) Fluctuating fuel prices and fuel surcharge revenues impact the total company operating ratio and the TTS segment operating ratio when fuel surcharges are reported on a gross basis as revenues versus netting the fuel surcharges against fuel expenses. Management believes netting fuel surcharge revenues, which are generally a more volatile source of revenue, against fuel expenses provides a more consistent basis for comparing the results of operations from period to period.

(12) Management believes excluding purchased transportation expense from Werner Logistics operating revenues provides a useful measurement of our ability to source and sell services provided by third parties.
