Freightos Executes Cost Optimization Plan to Support Path to Profitability

• Actions align with previously communicated path to Adjusted EBITDA breakeven by the end of 2026
• Continued investment in growth initiatives across pricing, procurement, and booking solutions that support largest global freight booking platform

BARCELONA, Spain, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Freightos Limited (NASDAQ: CRGO), the leading vendor-neutral global freight pricing, booking and procurement platform, today announced a cost optimization plan that includes a global workforce reduction of up to 15%, to improve operating efficiency and support its previously communicated path to Adjusted EBITDA breakeven by the end of 2026.

The restructuring is intended to support long-term sustainable growth of the Company's multimodal pricing, quoting and booking platform, in line with its strategy that remains unchanged: building the world's leading global freight pricing, booking and procurement platform. Freightos will continue investing in the solutions that underpin this platform, used by some of the world's largest global supply chain organizations. Freightos also plans to continue leveraging advanced technology, including AI, to improve efficiency and streamline operations.

"We are deeply grateful to the talented colleagues leaving Freightos and thank them sincerely for their contributions to our company, our customers and our mission," said Pablo Pinillos, who was recently appointed Chief Executive Officer of Freightos. "These types of decisions are very difficult, but this is a necessary step to ensure Freightos is positioned for long-term, sustainable growth in a dynamic market. We believe we are exceptionally well positioned, with the world's largest digital freight booking platform, native multimodal capabilities, and an end-to-end digital workflow spanning tendering, rate management, quoting, booking and payment. We are doubling down on the areas where we see the greatest opportunity to create value for customers and shareholders, and to advance our mission of making global freight more efficient, more connected and more resilient."

The Company currently estimates to incur approximately $1.3 million of one-time restructuring charges, primarily related to severance and employee benefits, throughout the first nine months of the year. Freightos expects the restructuring to generate annualized cost savings of approximately $4.5 million, starting Q4 2026.
