      • Third Quarter 2025 Operating Revenues: $396.8 million
      • Third Quarter 2025 Operating Loss: $(74.2) million
      • Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Per Share: $(2.84) per share
      • Declares Quarterly Dividend: $0.105 per share

      WARREN, Mich., Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ULH) today reported consolidated operating revenues of $396.8 million, a loss from operations of $(74.2) million, a net loss of $(74.8) million, and $(2.84) earnings per basic and diluted share.

      Universal's reported loss in the third quarter 2025 includes non-cash impairment charges totaling $81.2 million related to its intermodal reporting segment. These charges consisted of $58.0 million of goodwill impairment and $23.2 million of impairment related to certain customer-relationship intangible assets.

      For comparative purposes, Universal reported total operating revenues of $426.8 million, income from operations of $42.6 million, net income of $26.5 million, and $1.01 earnings per basic and diluted share for the corresponding period last year. Included in third quarter 2024 results were previously disclosed impairment charges totaling $3.7 million.

      Excluding the impact of the impairment charge in the third quarter 2025, the Company's adjusted income from operations, a non-GAAP measure, was $7.0 million. As a percentage of operating revenue, Universal's adjusted operating margin, also a non-GAAP measure, for the third quarter 2025 was 1.8%, compared to an adjusted operating margin of 10.9% during the same period last year.

      The Company's adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, during the third quarter 2025 was $43.3 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $76.6 million one year earlier. As a percentage of operating revenue, Universal's adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP measure, for the third quarter 2025 was 10.9%, compared to adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.0% during the same period last year.

      The Company provides reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this release to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These quantitative reconciliations, together with management's explanation of the purposes for which the non-GAAP measures are used, are presented in the accompanying tables and related disclosures.

      "Despite the impact of certain non-cash impairment charges recorded in the third quarter 2025, Universal's core business model remains intact," stated Universal's CEO Tim Phillips. "Our contract logistics segment once again delivered favorable results and remains a central driver of our performance. Continued strong demand for our specialized heavy-haul services has contributed to the resilient performance of our trucking segment. Although the reversal of performance trends in our intermodal franchise is taking longer to materialize, we continue to make operational improvements and will strive to return this business segment to profitability. We believe that Universal's diversified service offerings continue to differentiate us in the market, and we remain focused on the execution of our strategy to drive long-term success."

      Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"), and adjusted EBITDA margin.

      The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors by facilitating comparisons of operating performance across periods and by excluding certain items and impairment charges that may not be indicative of our core operating results. These measures are used internally by management to analyze operating performance, develop budgets, and forecast future periods. However, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, and other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently.

      Reconciliation to GAAP Measures

      Reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the accompanying tables in this press release. Set forth below is a reconciliation of income from operations, the most comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted income from operations; and of net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated. The Company encourages investors to review these reconciliations in conjunction with our GAAP results.

      Adjusted operating margin is computed by dividing adjusted income from operations by total operating revenues for each of the periods indicated.

      (d) 

      Adjusted EBITDA margin is computed by dividing adjusted EBITDA by total operating revenues for each of the periods indicated.

      We present adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

      Adjusted income from operations and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

      • Adjusted income from operations and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
      • Adjusted income from operations and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
      • Adjusted income from operations and adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;
      • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
      • Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted income from operations and adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

      Because of these limitations, adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and only supplementally adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating margin,  adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin.
