Expeditors Reports Second Quarter 2025 EPS of $1.34

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. (NYSE:EXPD) today announced second quarter 2025 financial results including the following comparisons to the same quarter of 2024:

• Diluted Net Earnings Attributable to Shareholders per share (EPS¹) increased 8% to $1.34
• Net Earnings Attributable to Shareholders increased 5% to $184 million
• Operating Income increased 11% to $248 million
• Revenues increased 9% to $2.7 billion
• Airfreight tonnage increased 7% and ocean container volume increased 7%
• Cash returned to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases was $335 million

鈥淭hroughout the Expeditors global network, we are seeing the positive impact of our strategic initiatives to maximize operational excellence,鈥� said Daniel R. Wall, President and Chief Executive Officer. 鈥淥ur focus on growth and execution puts us in a strong position to quickly adapt to this highly unpredictable environment. We are working with each of our regions and districts to increase efficiency and further optimize customer service to drive organic growth and boost profitability.

鈥淲e continued to grow all of our businesses during another quarter in which on-and-off tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty prompted many of our customers to re-evaluate their supply chains in anticipation of higher tariffs. Average buy and sell rates, for both air and ocean, remained highly volatile. We once again processed a substantial increase in customs clearances requiring greater skill as they have become more complex, while also growing air tonnage and ocean volumes.

鈥淥ur airfreight business increased on growth in tonnage and higher rates in most regions, as capacity remained tight despite new government limits on de minimis shipments, and particularly as customers sought to ship technology and other high-value inventory ahead of trade deadlines. Our ocean business also grew largely on increased volumes, particularly exports out of South Asia, as customers relocated sourcing to that region and moved freight in advance of extended tariff deadlines. Ocean rates softened throughout the quarter, with demand unable to match increased ocean capacity. Our other businesses within the customs brokerage segment, including road freight and warehousing and distribution, also grew on strong volumes and new business, as we worked with a mix of current and new customers to navigate the unpredictable and changing state of global supply chains.

鈥淟ooking ahead, we continue to expect the freight environment to remain unpredictable. Our resilience comes from the experience and expertise of our global network. Our customers have become accustomed to this unsettled environment and have come to trust that we can help them navigate uncertainty. This has not come without enormous extra effort and diligence from all our employees over the past months, and we are deeply appreciative.鈥�

Bradley S. Powell, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, 鈥淲e continued to watch expenses closely during the quarter, increasing operating income by 11%. As many costs have increased, we have been careful to limit headcount growth only in support of additional business activity, and to make essential investments to further strengthen our critical information systems.鈥�

Mr. Powell noted that the Company鈥檚 second quarter net earnings grew at a lower rate than operating income as our effective tax rate increased from 25.8% a year ago to 28.7% during the most recent quarter, driven by changes in foreign exchange rates and certain non-deductible expenses. Mr. Powell further commented that the Company returned $335 million to shareholders in common stock repurchases and dividends during the second quarter of 2025.
