Q2-25 脺bersicht (Ende 30. Juni 25): Der Umsatz von C.H. Robinson sank im Jahresvergleich um 7,7 % auf 4,14 Mrd. USD, da die Frachtpreise weiterhin schwach blieben. Dennoch f眉hrten Kostensenkungsma脽nahmen des Managements zu einem R眉ckgang der Gesamtausgaben um 8,9 %. Das operative Ergebnis stieg um 21 % auf 215,9 Mio. USD, der Nettogewinn erh枚hte sich um 20,8 % auf 152,5 Mio. USD, und das verw盲sserte Ergebnis je Aktie verbesserte sich auf 1,26 USD (vorher 1,05 USD).

Segmenttrends: Die Ums盲tze im Segment North American Surface Transportation sanken um 2 %, w盲hrend das operative Ergebnis aufgrund einer besseren Truckload-Mischung und geringerer Mitarbeiterzahl um 16 % anstieg. Die Ums盲tze im Global Forwarding fielen um 13 %, das operative Ergebnis stieg jedoch um 25 %, da sich die Einkaufsraten f眉r See- und Luftfracht normalisierten. Die Ums盲tze im Bereich All Other schrumpften nach dem Verkauf der Europe Surface Transportation Einheit am 1. Februar 25, der 27,7 Mio. USD in bar und zuk眉nftige Ratenzahlungen einbrachte.
Barmittel & Kapital: Der operative Cashflow im ersten Halbjahr stieg auf 333,7 Mio. USD (H1-24: 133,1 Mio. USD), unterst眉tzt durch die Freisetzung von Umlaufverm枚gen.

Strategie & Ausblick: Das neue Restrukturierungsprogramm 2025 verbuchte im Q2 Aufwendungen von 3,9 Mio. USD und zielt auf Belastungen von 50 bis 75 Mio. USD 眉ber drei Jahre ab, um KI-gest眉tzte Produktivit盲t und Standortkonsolidierung voranzutreiben. Das Management verzeichnete keine Wertminderungen von Firmenwerten und bewertet weiterhin die Auswirkungen des k眉rzlich verabschiedeten One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Positive
- EPS up 20 % YoY to $1.26 despite lower revenue, indicating strong cost control.
- Operating cash flow rose 151 % to $333.7 m, improving liquidity.
- Operating margin expanded to 5.2 % from 4.0 %, the highest in eight quarters.
- Europe Surface Transportation divestiture brought in $27.7 m and sharpens focus on four core modes.
- Undrawn $1 bn revolver plus $156 m cash provides ample funding flexibility.
Negative
- Total revenue fell 7.7 % YoY, reflecting continued softness in freight demand and pricing.
- Global Forwarding revenue dropped 13 %, signalling ongoing pressure in international volumes.
- Restructuring charges of $50鈥�75 m expected over the next three years, creating earnings drag.
- Effective tax rate rose to 21.4 % (19.4 % LY), trimming net profit leverage.
- Total debt remains high at $1.35 bn with $432 m current portion due within 12 months.
Insights
TL;DR: Cost discipline offset weak freight pricing, lifting EPS; top-line pressure persists.
TL;DR: Solid execution in truckload; forwarding outperformed on buy-rate relief, but volume malaise lingers.
NAST鈥檚 profit rebound signals better carrier pricing discipline, while Forwarding benefitted from stabilising ocean rates. Europe exit removes a non-core low-margin unit. Yet volumes and sourced-product revenue remain under pressure, highlighting cyclical headwinds. Investors should watch truckload spot trends and AI rollout savings for sustainability.

R茅sum茅 T2-25 (cl么tur茅 au 30 juin 25) : Le chiffre d'affaires de C.H. Robinson a diminu茅 de 7,7 % en glissement annuel 脿 4,14 milliards de dollars, les tarifs de fret restant faibles. Toutefois, les mesures de r茅duction des co没ts de la direction ont permis de r茅duire les d茅penses totales de 8,9 %. Le r茅sultat op茅rationnel a augment茅 de 21 % pour atteindre 215,9 millions de dollars, le r茅sultat net a progress茅 de 20,8 % 脿 152,5 millions, et le BPA dilu茅 s'est am茅lior茅 脿 1,26 $ (contre 1,05 $). La marge op茅rationnelle s'est 茅largie 脿 5,2 % contre 4,0 % un an plus t么t.
Tendances par segment : Les revenus du segment North American Surface Transportation ont diminu茅 de 2 %, mais le r茅sultat op茅rationnel a augment茅 de 16 % gr芒ce 脿 une meilleure r茅partition des chargements complets et 脿 une r茅duction des effectifs. Les revenus du Global Forwarding ont chut茅 de 13 %, tandis que le r茅sultat op茅rationnel a progress茅 de 25 % gr芒ce 脿 la normalisation des tarifs d'achat maritime et a茅rien. Les revenus des autres segments ont diminu茅 apr猫s la vente, le 1er f茅vrier 25, de l'unit茅 Europe Surface Transportation, qui a g茅n茅r茅 27,7 millions de dollars en liquidit茅s et paiements futurs.
Tr茅sorerie et capital : Les flux de tr茅sorerie op茅rationnels du premier semestre ont bondi 脿 333,7 millions de dollars (S1-24 : 133,1 millions), soutenus par la lib茅ration du fonds de roulement. La tr茅sorerie s'茅levait 脿 156 millions ; la dette totale est rest茅e stable 脿 1,35 milliard, laissant la ligne de cr茅dit renouvelable d'un milliard non utilis茅e. Les retours aux actionnaires comprenaient 152 millions en dividendes et 129 millions en rachats d'actions. Les capitaux propres ont augment茅 脿 1,78 milliard.
Strat茅gie et perspectives : Le nouveau programme de restructuration 2025 a enregistr茅 3,9 millions au T2 et vise des charges de 50 脿 75 millions sur trois ans pour stimuler la productivit茅 gr芒ce 脿 l'IA et la consolidation des sites. La direction n'a pas enregistr茅 de d茅pr茅ciations d'茅cart d'acquisition et continue d'茅valuer les impacts de la loi r茅cemment adopt茅e One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Q2-25 脺bersicht (Ende 30. Juni 25): Der Umsatz von C.H. Robinson sank im Jahresvergleich um 7,7 % auf 4,14 Mrd. USD, da die Frachtpreise weiterhin schwach blieben. Dennoch f眉hrten Kostensenkungsma脽nahmen des Managements zu einem R眉ckgang der Gesamtausgaben um 8,9 %. Das operative Ergebnis stieg um 21 % auf 215,9 Mio. USD, der Nettogewinn erh枚hte sich um 20,8 % auf 152,5 Mio. USD, und das verw盲sserte Ergebnis je Aktie verbesserte sich auf 1,26 USD (vorher 1,05 USD). Die operative Marge weitete sich von 4,0 % im Vorjahr auf 5,2 % aus.
Segmenttrends: Die Ums盲tze im Segment North American Surface Transportation sanken um 2 %, w盲hrend das operative Ergebnis aufgrund einer besseren Truckload-Mischung und geringerer Mitarbeiterzahl um 16 % anstieg. Die Ums盲tze im Global Forwarding fielen um 13 %, das operative Ergebnis stieg jedoch um 25 %, da sich die Einkaufsraten f眉r See- und Luftfracht normalisierten. Die Ums盲tze im Bereich All Other schrumpften nach dem Verkauf der Europe Surface Transportation Einheit am 1. Februar 25, der 27,7 Mio. USD in bar und zuk眉nftige Ratenzahlungen einbrachte.
Barmittel & Kapital: Der operative Cashflow im ersten Halbjahr stieg auf 333,7 Mio. USD (H1-24: 133,1 Mio. USD), unterst眉tzt durch die Freisetzung von Umlaufverm枚gen. Der Kassenbestand lag bei 156 Mio. USD; die Gesamtschulden blieben mit 1,35 Mrd. USD stabil, wobei die revolvierende Kreditlinie von 1 Mrd. USD ungenutzt blieb. Die Aktion盲rsrenditen umfassten 152 Mio. USD an Dividenden und 129 Mio. USD an Aktienr眉ckk盲ufen. Das Eigenkapital stieg auf 1,78 Mrd. USD.
Strategie & Ausblick: Das neue Restrukturierungsprogramm 2025 verbuchte im Q2 Aufwendungen von 3,9 Mio. USD und zielt auf Belastungen von 50 bis 75 Mio. USD 眉ber drei Jahre ab, um KI-gest眉tzte Produktivit盲t und Standortkonsolidierung voranzutreiben. Das Management verzeichnete keine Wertminderungen von Firmenwerten und bewertet weiterhin die Auswirkungen des k眉rzlich verabschiedeten One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

(1) Includes $28.6 million of goodwill for the Europe Surface Transportation disposal group, which is presented within assets held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 14, Divestitures, for further discussion related to the sale of our Europe Surface Transportation business.
(2) On February 1, 2025, the Company completed the sale of our Europe Surface Transportation business. In connection with the sale, we disposed of goodwill included in the Europe Surface Transportation disposal group. Refer to Note 14, Divestitures, for further discussion related to the sale of our Europe Surface Transportation business.
Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment on November 30, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying value (“Step Zero Analysis”). If the Step Zero Analysis indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units is less than their respective carrying value, an additional impairment assessment is performed (“Step One Analysis”). As part of our 2024 annual impairment test, we determined that the fair value of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values and our goodwill balance was not impaired.
Identifiable intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets and liabilities held for sale — In 2024, we entered into an agreement to sell our Europe Surface Transportation business. The sale closed with an effective date of February 1, 2025. The sale included all of the assets and liabilities of the business other than our proprietary technology platform (the “Europe Surface Transportation disposal group”). The Europe Surface Transportation disposal group was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2024. We measured the Europe Surface Transportation disposal group at its fair value less costs incurred to sell and recorded a $44.5 million loss in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The fair value of the assets and liabilities held for sale were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy based on the negotiated sale price, which is an observable market-based input. There are no remaining assets and liabilities held for sale as of June 30, 2025. Refer to Note 14, Divestitures, for further discussion related to the sale of our Europe Surface Transportation business.
Foreign Currency Derivatives — We may seek to manage our exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of foreign currency forward contracts. Foreign currency forward contracts are accounted for at fair value with the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, and changes in fair value recognized in interest and other income/expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. These contracts are accounted for as non-designated hedges pursuant to ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Foreign currency forward contracts are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured using market-based rates. The impact of foreign currency forward contracts was not material as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

SENIOR UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
We have a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with a total availability of $1 billion, which may be reduced by standby letters of credit. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of November 19, 2027. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate determined by a pricing schedule or the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the administrative agent's prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent, or (c) the sum of one-month SOFR plus a specified margin). As of June 30, 2025, the variable rate equaled SOFR and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 percent plus 1.13 percent. In addition, there is a commitment fee on the average daily undrawn stated amount under the facility ranging from 0.07 percent to 0.15 percent. The recorded amount of borrowings outstanding, if any, approximates fair value because of the short maturity period of the debt; therefore, we consider these borrowings to be a Level 2 financial liability.
The Credit Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.
NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On August 23, 2013, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”). On August 27, 2013, the Purchasers purchased an aggregate principal amount of $500 million of our Senior Notes Series A, Senior Notes Series B, and Senior Notes Series C (collectively, the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The fair value of the Notes approximated $307.2 million on June 30, 2025. We estimate the fair value of the Notes primarily using an expected present value technique, which is based on observable market inputs using interest rates currently available to companies of similar credit standing for similar terms and remaining maturities and considering our own risk. If the Notes were recorded at fair value, they would be classified as a Level 2 financial liability. Senior Notes Series A matured in August 2023.
The Note Purchase Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00, and a maximum consolidated priority debt to consolidated total asset ratio of 10 percent.
The Note Purchase Agreement provides for customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default would permit certain Purchasers to declare certain Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at 100 percent of the principal amount being redeemed together with a “make-whole amount” (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to each Note. The obligations of the company under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes are guaranteed by C.H. Robinson Company, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, and by C.H. Robinson Company, Inc., a Minnesota corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. On November 21, 2022, we executed a third amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement to, among other things, facilitate the terms of the Credit Agreement.

U.S. TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION
On November 19, 2021, we entered into a receivables purchase agreement and related transaction documents with Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to provide a receivables securitization facility (the “Receivables Securitization Facility”). The Receivables Securitization Facility is based on the securitization of a portion of our U.S. trade accounts receivable with a total availability of $500 million as of June 30, 2025. The interest rate on borrowings under the Receivables Securitization Facility is based on SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 percent plus 0.80 percent. In addition, there is a commitment fee on the average daily undrawn stated amount under the facility of 0.20 percent.
The recorded amount of borrowings outstanding under the Receivables Securitization Facility approximates fair value because it can be redeemed on short notice and the interest rate floats. We consider these borrowings to be a Level 2 financial liability.
The Receivables Securitization Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, and it also contains customary default and termination provisions, which provide for acceleration of amounts owed under the Receivables Securitization Facility upon the occurrence of certain specified events.
On November 7, 2023, we amended the Receivables Securitization Facility to extend the termination date of the facility to November 7, 2025. The total available remains $500 million, and we have the option to utilize an accordion feature, if needed, of an additional $250 million pursuant to the provisions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, amended by the Receivables Purchase Amendment.
SENIOR NOTES
On April 9, 2018, we issued senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”) through a public offering. The Senior Notes bear an annual interest rate of 4.20 percent payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, until maturity on April 15, 2028. Taking into effect the amortization of the original issue discount and all underwriting and issuance expenses, the Senior Notes have an effective yield to maturity of approximately 4.39 percent per annum. The fair value of the Senior Notes, excluding debt discounts and issuance costs, approximated $597.1 million as of June 30, 2025, based primarily on the market prices quoted from external sources. The carrying value of the Senior Notes was $597.3 million as of June 30, 2025.
We may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to their maturity at the applicable redemption prices described in the Senior Notes. Upon the occurrence of a “change of control triggering event” as defined in the Senior Notes (generally, a change of control of us accompanied by a reduction in the credit rating for the Senior Notes), we will generally be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes from holders at 101 percent of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
The Senior Notes were issued under an indenture that contains covenants imposing certain limitations on our ability to incur liens or enter into sale and leaseback transactions above certain limits; and consolidate, or merge or transfer substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. It also provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include, among other things nonpayment, breach of covenants in the indenture, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. If an event of default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Senior Notes, the trustee or holders of at least 25 percent in principal amount outstanding of the Senior Notes may declare the principal and the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the outstanding Senior Notes to be due and payable. These covenants and events of default are subject to a number of important qualifications, limitations, and exceptions that are described in the indenture. The indenture does not contain any financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity to which we must adhere.

In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development announced an Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting including Pillar Two Model Rules defining the global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large multinational corporations at a minimum rate of 15 percent. Subsequently, multiple sets of administrative guidance have been issued. Many non-U.S. tax jurisdictions have either recently enacted legislation to adopt certain components of the Pillar Two Model Rules beginning in 2024 (including the European Union Member States) with the adoption of additional components in later years or announced their plans to enact legislation in future years. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of enacted legislation and pending legislation to enact Pillar Two Model Rules in the tax jurisdictions we operate in.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA” or the “Act”) was signed into law. The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100 percent bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation. The Act also included modifications to the international tax framework. ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. We will evaluate all deferred tax balances under the newly enacted tax law and identify any changes required to our financial statements as a result of the OBBBA. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others effective through 2027. We are still evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2025, we have $41.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties. It is possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations, new information, or settlements with taxing authorities. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease by approximately $1.2 million in the next 12 months due to the lapsing of statutes of limitations. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to audits of U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax returns before 2020.
NOTE 6. STOCK AWARD PLANS
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense as it vests. A summary of our total compensation expense recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for stock-based compensation is as follows (in thousands):

On May 5, 2022, our shareholders approved a 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), authorizing the issuance of up to 4,261,884 shares pursuant to awards granted under the Plan. On May 8, 2025, the Plan was amended and restated, and our shareholders approved an increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance by 4,000,000 . The Plan allows us to grant certain stock awards, including stock options at fair market value, performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) and shares, and time-based restricted stock units, to our key employees and non-employee directors. Shares subject to awards under
12
Table of Contents
the Plan or certain of our prior plans that expire or are canceled without delivery of shares or that are settled in cash generally may become available again for issuance under the Plan. There were 4,616,654 shares available for stock awards under the Plan as of June 30, 2025.
Stock Options – We have awarded stock options to certain key employees that vest primarily based on their continued employment. These awards are fully vested and there is no remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options as of June 30, 2025. The outstanding options have expiration dates between 2025 and 2030. Although participants can exercise options via a stock swap exercise, we do not issue reloads (restoration options) on the grants.
Stock Awards – We have awarded performance-based restricted shares, PSUs, and time-based restricted stock units. Most of our awards granted prior to 2024 contain restrictions on the awardees’ ability to sell or transfer vested awards for a specified period of time. The fair value of these awards is established based on the market price on the date of grant, discounted for any post-vesting holding restrictions. The discounts on outstanding grants with post-vesting holding restrictions vary from 11 percent to 20 percent and are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model-protective put method. The duration of the restriction period to sell or transfer vested awards, changes in the measured stock price volatility and changes in interest rates are the primary reasons for changes in the discount. These grants are being expensed based on the terms of the awards.
Performance-based Awards
We have awarded PSUs on an annual basis to certain key employees. These PSUs vest over a three-year period based on the achievement of certain dilutive earnings per share, adjusted gross profits, and adjusted operating margin targets. These PSUs contain an upside opportunity of up to 200 percent of target contingent upon obtaining certain targets mentioned above over their respective performance period.
Time-based Awards
We award time-based restricted stock units to certain key employees. These time-based awards are granted on an annual basis and vest over a three-year period. In 2023, we also granted retention awards, which vest over a one-year to three-year period. These awards vest primarily based on the passage of time and the employee’s continued employment.
We granted 300,366 PSUs at target and 477,962 time-based restricted stock units in February 2025 that vest over a three-year period. The PSUs will vest upon achieving cumulative three-year dilutive earnings per share targets and contain an upside opportunity of up to 200 percent. The PSUs and time-based restricted stock unit awards had a weighted average grant date fair value of $96.75 two-years of post-termination vesting upon a qualified retirement.
We have also awarded restricted stock units to certain key employees and non-employee directors which are fully vested upon date of grant. These units contain restrictions on the awardees’ ability to sell or transfer vested units for a specified period of time. The fair value of these units is established using the same method discussed above. These awards have been expensed on the date of grant.
As of June 30, 2025, there was unrecognized compensation expense of $202.3 million related to previously granted stock awards assuming maximum achievement is obtained on our PSUs. The amount of future expense to be recognized will be based on the passage of time and contingent upon obtaining certain targets mentioned above over their respective performance period.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan – Our 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allows our employees to contribute up to $10,000 of their annual cash compensation to purchase company stock. The purchase price is determined using the closing price on the last day of each quarter discounted by 15 percent. Shares vest immediately.

NOTE 7. LITIGATION
We are not subject to any pending or threatened litigation other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business operations, including certain contingent auto liability cases. For some legal proceedings, we have accrued an amount that reflects the aggregate liability deemed probable and estimable, but this amount is not material to our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Because of the preliminary nature of many of these proceedings, the difficulty in ascertaining the applicable facts relating to many of these proceedings, the inconsistent treatment of claims made in many of these proceedings, and the difficulty of predicting the settlement value of many of these proceedings, we are often unable to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible additional losses. However, based upon our historical experience, the resolution of these proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 8. SEGMENT REPORTING
Our segments are based on our method of internal reporting, which generally segregates the segments by service line and the primary services they provide to our customers. The internal reporting of segments is aligned with the reporting and review process used by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer. We do not report our intersegment revenues by segment to our CODM and do not believe they are a meaningful metric for evaluating the performance of our reportable segments.
Our CODM utilizes segment operating income as the primary measure to evaluate the performance of our reportable segments. Operating income is an important measure of our ability to optimize our cost structure through innovation of our proprietary operating systems and accelerating the capabilities of our workforce. It also guides the allocation of resources, including employees, technology investments, and capital resource investments to each segment. Additionally, operating income is also an important measure of our ability to maintain pricing discipline and driving profitable growth while effectively serving our customers and contract carriers. We consider operating income to be our primary performance metric. The review of segment performance and the allocation of resources occurs primarily in the annual budgeting process and through a regular cadence of operating reviews to monitor the progress of strategic initiatives included in our enterprise balanced scorecard. We identify two reportable segments with all other segments included in “All Other and Corporate” as follows:
•North American Surface Transportation—NAST provides freight transportation services across North America through a network of offices in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The primary services provided by NAST are truckload and less than truckload (“LTL”) transportation services.
•Global Forwarding—Global Forwarding provides global logistics services through an international network of offices in North America, Asia, Europe, Oceania, South America, and the Middle East and also contracts with independent agents worldwide. The primary services provided by Global Forwarding include ocean freight services, air freight services, and customs brokerage.
•All Other and Corporate—All Other and Corporate includes our Robinson Fresh and Managed Solutions segments, as well as Other Surface Transportation outside of North America and other miscellaneous revenues and unallocated corporate expenses. Robinson Fresh provides sourcing services including the buying, selling, and/or marketing of fresh fruits, vegetables, and other value-added perishable items. Managed Solutions provides Transportation Management Services, or Managed TMS. Other Surface Transportation revenues were primarily earned by our Europe Surface Transportation segment which was sold effective February 1, 2025. Europe Surface Transportation provided transportation and logistics services including truckload and LTL transportation services across Europe. Refer to Note 14, Divestitures, for further discussion related to the sale of our Europe Surface Transportation business.
The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies located in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Contract assets and accrued expenses-transportation expense fluctuate from period to period primarily based upon changes in transportation pricing and costs and shipments in-transit at period end.

NOTE 10. LEASES
We determine if our contractual agreements contain a lease at inception. A lease is identified when a contract allows us the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Our lease agreements consist primarily of operating leases for office space, warehouses, office equipment, and trailers. We do not have material financing leases. Frequently, we enter into contractual relationships with a wide variety of transportation companies for freight capacity and utilize those relationships to efficiently and cost-effectively arrange the transport of our customers’ freight. These contracts typically have a term of twelve months or less and do not allow us to direct the use or obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of a specifically identified asset. Accordingly, these agreements are not considered leases.
Our lease agreements typically do not contain variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, purchase options, or restrictive covenants. Many of our leases include the option to renew for a period of months to several years. The term of our leases may include the option to renew when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option, although these occurrences are seldom. We have lease agreements with lease components (e.g., payments for rent) and non-lease components (e.g., payments for common area maintenance and parking), which are all accounted for as a single lease component.
We do not have material lease agreements that have not yet commenced that are expected to create significant rights or obligations as of June 30, 2025.
Information regarding lease expense, remaining lease term, discount rate, and other select lease information are presented below (dollars in thousands):

The impairment resulted from the execution of a sublease agreement on a portion of the facility. The impairment was determined by comparing the discounted cash flows of the head lease and sublease rental payments. All other impairment charges were associated with restructuring initiatives. Refer to Note 13, Restructuring, for further discussion related to our restructuring programs.

NOTE 13: RESTRUCTURING
2025 Restructuring Program: In the second quarter of 2025, we initiated a new restructuring program (the “2025 Restructuring Program”) aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and achieving cost savings through the adoption of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence. The program is centered around two key initiatives:
Process Optimization and Workforce Productivity - The first initiative focuses on streamlining operations by leveraging cutting-edge technological innovations to significantly enhance workforce productivity. This includes the integration of automation and AI-driven solutions to reduce manual processes and improve overall efficiency. As a result of this initiative, we anticipate incurring severance and related personnel costs associated with workforce reductions.
Facilities Consolidation and Footprint Optimization - The second initiative involves the consolidation and centralization of our facilities to align with the reduced workforce resulting from the first initiative. This effort is designed to optimize our physical footprint and support a more agile and cost-effective operating model. As a result of this initiative, the Company anticipates recognizing asset impairments related to the early termination or abandonment of certain facilities under operating leases.
These initiatives are expected to materially reduce our cost structure and better position the Company for sustainable, long-term growth in an increasingly technology-driven marketplace. The 2025 Restructuring Program is expected to span the next three years, during which we will continue to implement advanced technologies across the enterprise and review opportunities to consolidate our global facilities.
We recognized restructuring charges of $3.9 50 million to $75 million over the next three years primarily related to severance and other personnel related costs and impairments related to the early termination or abandonment of facilities under operating leases for the 2025 Restructuring Program. The amount and timing of the restructuring charges we will recognize depend upon multiple factors, such as the implementation and integration of automation and AI-driven solutions across targeted areas of the enterprise, natural employee turnover, and our ability to consolidate our global facilities. We paid $1.0

2024 Restructuring Program: In 2024, the Company began a restructuring program (the “2024 Restructuring Program”) to drive our enterprise strategy and reduce our cost structure. The 2024 Restructuring Program was executed in phases, focused on waste reduction, reprioritizing our product and technology teams on fewer strategic initiatives, driving synergies across our portfolio of services, and unifying the go to market strategy of our divisions.
The major initiatives of the first phase, which commenced in the first quarter of 2024, included 1) optimizing our management hierarchy, which included a reduction in workforce; 2) reprioritizing the efforts of our product and technology teams, resulting in the impairment of certain internally developed software projects. We have realigned our product and technology teams to focus on fewer strategic initiatives to accelerate the capabilities of our platform to deliver market-leading outcomes for our customers, carriers, and employees.
The primary initiatives of the second phase commenced in the second quarter of 2024. These initiatives included the rationalization of our facilities footprint including the consolidation, early termination, or abandonment of office buildings under operating leases.
Accrued restructuring reserves were $0.5 million and $4.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We paid $3.4 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2025 related to the 2024 Restructuring Program. There is no further activity expected related to the 2024 Restructuring Program other than settling the $0.5 million of restructuring reserve remaining as of June 30, 2025.

NOTE 14: DIVESTITURES
Europe Surface Transportation Divestiture: In 2024, we entered into an agreement with sennder Technologies GmbH to sell our Europe Surface Transportation business, which is included in our All Other and Corporate segment. The divestiture is part of our enterprise strategy to drive focus on profitable growth in our four core modes—North American truckload and LTL and global ocean and air—as engines to ignite growth and create the most value for our stakeholders. We have determined this divestiture does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our consolidated results of operations, and therefore the results of our Europe Surface Transportation business are not reported as discontinued operations. The sale included all of the assets and liabilities of the business other than our proprietary technology platform.
Upon entering into the agreement to sell the business in 2024, the assets and liabilities of our Europe Surface Transportation disposal group were classified as held for sale resulting in a $32.8 million pre-tax loss on the disposal group classified as held for sale in 2024. Including the direct costs incurred to sell the business and the loss on the disposal group, the total pre-tax loss recognized was $44.5 million in 2024.
The sale closed effective February 1, 2025 with $27.7 million of consideration received at closing with additional consideration due in fixed equal installments on the 12-month and 18-month anniversary of the closing date subject to post closing working capital adjustments. The remaining consideration due is collateralized by all current and future accounts receivable of the Europe Surface Transportation business. We recognized transaction related expenses of $0.4 million and $2.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. There are no remaining assets and liabilities held for sale as of June 30, 2025.

OVERVIEW
C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (“C.H. Robinson,” “the company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is one of the largest global logistics providers in the world. We deliver logistics like no one else. Companies around the world look to us to reimagine supply chains, advance freight technology, and solve logistics challenges—from the simple to the most complex. We are grounded in our promise to deliver exceptional customer success, using our expertise, scale, and tailored solutions to help customers navigate increasingly complex global supply chains.
Our adjusted gross profits and adjusted gross profit margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted gross profits are calculated as gross profits excluding amortization of internally developed software utilized to directly serve our customers and contracted carriers. Adjusted gross profit margin is calculated as adjusted gross profits divided by total revenues. We believe adjusted gross profits and adjusted gross profit margin are useful measures of our ability to source, add value, and sell services and products that are provided by third parties, and we consider adjusted gross profits to be a primary performance measurement. Accordingly, the discussion of our results of operations often focuses on the changes in our adjusted gross profits and adjusted gross profit margin.

MARKET TRENDS
The North American surface transportation market demonstrated signs of improved balance in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by the recent trend of carriers exiting the market. This shift contributed to a modest year-over-year increase in transportation rates. Additionally, seasonal demand associated with the produce and beverage shipping season led to regional rate spikes temporarily slowing the pace of carrier attrition. Despite these developments, the market remains characterized by an overall imbalance, with excess carrier capacity relative to industry freight volumes. This condition is commonly referred to as a soft market. Industry freight volumes, as measured by the Cass Freight Index, declined in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024, reflecting continued softness in underlying demand. One of the key metrics we use to measure market conditions is the truckload routing guide depth from our Managed Solutions business. This metric measures the average number of carriers contacted before securing a transportation provider. Routing guide depth of 1 would be perfect performance and 2 would be extremely poor. The average routing guide depth in the second quarter of 2025 was 1.3 compared to 1.2 in the second quarter of 2024 reflecting a modest tightening of the market compared to the prior year.

The global forwarding market in the second quarter of 2025 experienced significant policy shifts, volatile demand, and increasing capacity challenges. In April, the U.S. announced a 10 percent minimum tariff on all imported goods along with higher reciprocal tariffs on goods from certain countries. This move prompted several nations to impose their own retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports. Shortly after their announcement, a 90-day tariff pause was implemented for most countries other than China. In May, the U.S. and China reached a separate agreement to temporarily reduce their reciprocal tariffs and pause other trade barriers for 90-days. This wave of uncertainty resulted in a sharp decline in global freight volumes early in the second quarter of 2025, with an increase in blank sailings as carriers reallocated or temporarily removed capacity from the market. Following the temporary tariff pause, the market experienced a short-lived rebound as shippers accelerated shipments ahead of the 90-day pause expiration. This surge of activity led to a short-term spike in global freight rates towards the end of the second quarter of 2025 before rapidly falling as capacity began to outpace demand and shippers adopted a cautious approach given the market uncertainty. The combination of tariff and geopolitical uncertainty, capacity continuing to enter the market, and the impact of disruptions, including the Red Sea conflict, may continue to affect ocean and air freight pricing in the near term, although the duration and extent remain uncertain.
BUSINESS TRENDS
Our surface transportation business effectively navigated the evolving market dynamics and seasonal trends, as discussed in the market trends section. During the second quarter of 2025, continued contraction in carrier capacity and seasonal demand spikes contributed to an increase in our truckload transportation costs. Our average truckload linehaul cost per mile, excluding fuel surcharges, increased approximately 3.5 percent during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024, reflecting upward pressure from market rates. Our average truckload linehaul rate charged to our customers, excluding fuel surcharges, also increased approximately 3.5 percent during the second quarter of 2025. Despite this rising cost environment, we were able to improve our adjusted gross profits per transaction in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 driven by the continued advancement of our dynamic pricing and costing capabilities. These advancements have allowed us to respond more rapidly to market fluctuations through more frequent and precise pricing discovery. Industry freight volumes, as measured by the Cass Freight Index, decreased approximately 3.5 percent in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. Despite these challenging market conditions, our combined North American Surface Transportation (“NAST”) truckload and less than truckload (“LTL”) volume outperformed the market, increasing 1.0 percent in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.
Our global forwarding results in the second quarter of 2025 reflected the continued impact of the volatile market conditions and shifting trade policies outlined in the market trends section above. Our ocean freight shipments decreased 4.0 percent compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by reduced demand early in the second quarter of 2025 following the announcement of new tariffs by the U.S. This was partially offset by a rebound in June, as shippers accelerated activity ahead of the expiration of the 90-day tariff pause. Adjusted gross profit per ocean shipment significantly improved in June due to this surge in activity; however, adjusted gross profit per shipment declined 3.5 percent in total compared to the second quarter of 2024. Air freight volumes were similarly affected by the intra-quarter tariff volatility, with overall air freight tonnage decreasing 12.5 percent compared to the second quarter of 2024.
As part of our enterprise strategy to drive focus on profitable growth in our four core modes—North American truckload and LTL and global ocean and air—as engines to ignite growth and create the most value for our stakeholders we divested our Europe Surface Transportation business. The sale closed effective February 1, 2025. Europe Surface Transportation provided transportation and logistics services, including truckload and LTL transportation services across Europe and represented the majority of our Other Surface Transportation operations included in All Other and Corporate.
SELECTED OPERATING PERFORMANCE AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT ITEMS
The following summarizes select second quarter 2025 year-over-year operating comparisons to the second quarter 2024:
•Total revenues decreased 7.7 percent to $4.1 billion, primarily driven by the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business, in addition to lower pricing in our ocean services and lower fuel surcharges in our truckload services.
•Gross profits increased 0.4 percent to $679.6 million. Adjusted gross profits increased 0.8 percent to $693.2 million, primarily driven by higher adjusted gross profit per transaction in our customs, truckload, and LTL services. This was partially offset by the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business and lower volume in ocean services.
•Personnel expenses decreased 7.2 percent to $335.3 million, primarily due to cost optimization efforts and productivity improvements, the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business, a non-recurring benefit from certain actions taken within the current quarter, and lower restructuring charges related to workforce reductions. Average employee headcount decreased 11.2 percent.
27
Table of Contents
•Other selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 4.1 percent to $142.0 million primarily due to restructuring charges in the prior year related to reducing our facilities footprint, including early termination or abandonment of office buildings under operating leases.
•Income from operations increased 21.2 percent to $215.9 million, due to the increase in adjusted gross profit and decreased operating expenses.
•Adjusted operating margin of 31.1 percent increased 520 basis points.
•Interest and other income/expense, net totaled $22.0 million of expense, consisting primarily of $16.8 million of interest expense, which decreased $6.1 million compared to last year, and a $4.9 million net loss from foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses.
•The effective tax rate in the quarter was 21.4 percent compared to 19.4 percent in the second quarter last year.
•Net income totaled $152.5 million, an increase of 20.8 percent from a year ago.
•Diluted earnings per share increased 20.0 percent to $1.26.
•Cash flow from operations increased $200.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by a favorable change in net operating working capital and the increase in net income.

Consolidated Results of Operations—Three Months Ended June 30, 2025, Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Total revenues and direct costs. Total transportation revenues and direct costs decreased primarily due to the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business, along with lower pricing in ocean services, and lower fuel surcharges in our truckload services. In the second quarter of 2024, ocean freight rates were elevated due to market disruptions that strained capacity, including re-routing and extended transit times, resulting from the Red Sea conflict, container shortages, and worsening port congestion in certain regions of the world. While similar capacity constraints persisted in the second quarter of 2025, the period also experienced notable shifts in demand as discussed in the market and business trends sections, leading to lower pricing compared to the prior year. The decrease in fuel surcharges within our truckload services was driven by a year-over-year decline in diesel fuel prices. Our sourcing total revenue and direct costs increased, driven by higher average pricing with retail customers.
Gross profits and adjusted gross profits. Our transportation adjusted gross profits increased, driven primarily by higher adjusted gross profits per transaction in our customs, truckload, and LTL services. In our customs services, the improvement was largely attributable to increased duty advance fees, reflecting elevated global tariff rates. The improvement in truckload services was driven by the continued advancement of our dynamic pricing and costing capabilities. These advancements have allowed us to respond more rapidly to market fluctuations through more frequent and precise pricing discovery. These increases were partially offset by the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business, as well as lower volume and adjusted gross profits per transaction in our ocean services, which were impacted by the volatile market conditions and shifting trade policies discussed in the market and business trends sections. Sourcing adjusted gross profits increased, driven by an increase in integrated supply chain solutions for retail and foodservice customers.
Operating expenses. Personnel expenses decreased primarily due to cost optimization efforts and productivity improvements, the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business, a non-recurring benefit from certain actions taken within the current quarter, and the impact of higher restructuring charges related to workforce reductions in the prior year discussed below. Other SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to restructuring charges in the prior year related to reducing our facilities footprint, including early termination or abandonment of office buildings under operating leases.
In addition to the above, our personnel expenses in the second quarter of 2025 included $3.9 million of severance and related personnel expenses from our 2025 Restructuring Program, and $0.4 million of other SG&A expenses resulting from the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business. Our personnel expenses for the second quarter of 2024 included $9.5 million of severance and related personnel expenses. We also incurred $5.7 million of restructuring related other SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2024. These expenses were both associated with our 2024 Restructuring Program. Refer to Note 13, Restructuring, and Note 14, Divestitures, for further discussion related to our restructuring programs and the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business.
Interest and other income/expense, net. Interest and other income/expense, net primarily consisted of interest expense of $16.8 million. Interest expense decreased $6.1 million during the second quarter of 2025, due to a lower average debt balance and lower variable interest rates. The current period included a $4.9 million net loss from foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses, compared to a $0.5 million net gain in the prior year period.
Provision for income taxes. Our effective income tax rate was 21.4 percent for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 19.4 percent for the second quarter of 2024. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was higher than the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to state income tax expense, net of federal benefit, which increased the effective tax rate by 2.3 percentage points. This impact was partially offset by foreign tax credits with decreased the effective income tax rate by 1.9 percentage points during the second quarter of 2025. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the tax impact of U.S. tax credits and incentives, which reduced the effective tax rate by 5.0 percentage points. These impacts were partially offset by a higher tax rate on foreign earnings, which increased the effective income tax rate by 2.7 percentage points during the second quarter of 2024.

Consolidated Results of Operations—Six Months Ended June 30, 2025, Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Total revenues and direct costs. Total revenues and direct costs decreased primarily due to the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business, along with lower pricing and purchased transportation costs in ocean services, and lower fuel surcharges in our truckload services. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, ocean freight rates were elevated as a result of ongoing disruptions, including the Red Sea conflict, which strained capacity and increased ocean freight rates. While similar capacity constraints persisted during the six months ended June 30, 2025, the period also experienced significant shifts in demand influenced by tariff and macroeconomic uncertainty resulting in lower pricing and purchased transportation costs compared to the prior year. The decline in fuel surcharges within truckload services was driven by a year-over-year decrease in diesel fuel prices. Our sourcing total revenue and direct costs increased driven by higher average pricing with retail customers.
Gross profits and adjusted gross profits. Our transportation adjusted gross profits increased, driven by higher adjusted gross profits per transaction in our truckload, LTL, and customs services. The higher adjusted gross profits per transaction in truckload services during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was driven by the continued advancement of our dynamic pricing and costing capabilities. These advancements have allowed us to respond more rapidly to market fluctuations through more frequent and precise pricing discovery. In our customs services, the improvement was largely attributable to increased duty advance fees, reflecting elevated global tariff rates. Sourcing adjusted gross profits increased due to an increase in integrated supply chain solutions for retail and foodservice customers.
Operating expenses. Personnel expenses decreased primarily due to cost optimization efforts including lower average employee headcount, the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business, and the impact of higher restructuring charges related to workforce reductions in the prior year discussed below. These decreases were partially offset by higher variable compensation reflecting the improved results compared to the prior year. Other SG&A expenses decreased primarily due to the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business and were partially offset by the impact of the restructuring charges in the prior year discussed below.
In addition to the above, our personnel expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included $5.1 million of severance and related personnel expenses. We also incurred $1.6 million in other SG&A expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2025. These expenses were associated with our 2025 Restructuring Program and the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business. We also incurred $6.3 million of other SG&A expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2025 resulting from an impairment charge on our Kansas City regional center lease resulting from the execution of a sublease agreement on a portion of the building.
Our personnel expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included $17.4 million of severance and related personnel expenses. We also incurred $10.7 million of other SG&A expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Both expenses were associated with our 2024 Restructuring Program.
Interest and other income/expense, net. Interest and other income/expense, net primarily consisted of interest expense of $33.6 million, which decreased $11.4 million driven by a lower average debt balance and variable interest rates compared to the prior year. The six months ended June 30, 2025 included an $8.3 million net loss from foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses, compared to a $4.4 million net gain in the prior year.
Provision for income taxes. Our effective income tax rate was 17.9 percent for both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the tax benefit of share-based payment awards, foreign tax credits, and U.S. tax credits and incentives, which decreased the effective tax rate by 2.9 percentage points, 1.9 percentage points, and 1.6 percentage points, respectively. These impacts were partially offset by state income tax expense, net of federal benefit which increased the effective tax rate by 2.2 percentage points. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the tax impact of U.S. tax credits and incentives, which reduced the effective tax rate by 6.2 percentage points. These impacts were partially offset by state income taxes, net of federal benefit, and a higher tax rate on foreign earnings, which increased the effective income tax rate by 2.3 percentage points and 1.8 percentage points, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025, Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Total revenues and direct costs. NAST total revenues and direct costs decreased primarily due to lower fuel surcharges in our truckload services driven by a year-over-year decline in diesel fuel prices. This decline was partially offset by an increase in transportation rates and increased LTL volumes. As capacity continues to exit the market, this shift has contributed to a modest year-over-year increase in transportation rates. Our average truckload linehaul rate per mile charged to our customers, which excludes fuel surcharges, increased approximately 3.5 percent in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024. Our truckload linehaul cost per mile, excluding fuel surcharges, also increased approximately 3.5 percent in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.
Gross profits and adjusted gross profits. NAST adjusted gross profits increased due to higher adjusted gross profits per transaction in truckload and LTL services along with increased volume in our LTL services. The improvement in truckload services was driven by the continued advancement of our dynamic pricing and costing capabilities. These advancements have allowed us to respond more rapidly to market fluctuations through more frequent and precise pricing discovery.
Operating expenses. NAST personnel expenses decreased driven by cost optimization efforts and productivity improvements, including lower average employee headcount. NAST other SG&A expenses increased primarily due to higher allocated corporate expenses and higher credit losses. These increases were partially offset by reductions across several expense categories.
In addition to the above, NAST personnel expenses in the second quarter of 2025 included $0.7 million of severance and related personnel expenses related to our 2025 Restructuring Program. The second quarter of 2024 included $4.8 million of severance and related personnel expenses. We also incurred $3.8 million of restructuring related other SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2024. These expenses were both associated with our 2024 Restructuring Program. Refer to Note 13, Restructuring, and Note 14, Divestitures, for further discussion related to our restructuring programs and the divestiture of our Europe Surface Transportation business.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2025, Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Total revenues and direct costs. Global Forwarding total revenues and direct costs decreased in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower pricing and reduced purchased transportation costs in ocean services, as well as volume declines in both ocean and air freight services. In the second quarter of 2024, ocean and air freight rates were elevated due to market disruptions that strained ocean capacity including re-routing and extended transit times resulting from the Red Sea conflict, container shortages, and worsening port congestion in certain regions of the world. These disruptions also led to ocean freight conversions to air freight in the second quarter of 2024. While similar capacity constraints persisted in the second quarter of 2025, the period also experienced notable shifts in demand as discussed in the market and business trends sections, leading to lower pricing and purchased transportation costs and fewer ocean freight to air freight conversions compared to the prior year.
Gross profits and adjusted gross profits. Global Forwarding adjusted gross profits increased in the second quarter of 2025 driven by higher adjusted gross profits per transaction in customs and air freight services. The improvement in customs was largely attributable to increased duty advance fees, reflecting elevated global tariff rates while the improvement in air freight services was driven by improved pricing discipline. These increases were partially offset by lower volumes and lower adjusted gross profits per transaction in our ocean services, which were impacted by the volatile market conditions and shifting trade policies discussed in the market and business trends sections.
Operating expenses. Personnel expenses decreased driven by cost optimization efforts and productivity improvements, including lower average employee headcount. Global Forwarding other SG&A expenses decreased with reductions across several expense categories.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $156.0 million as of June 30, 2025, and $145.8 million as of December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States totaled $146.2 million as of June 30, 2025, and $134.0 million as of December 31, 2024.
We prioritize our investments to grow our market share and expand globally in key industries, trade lanes, and geographies, and to digitize our customer, carrier, and internal tools to support our organic growth. We are continually looking for acquisitions, but those acquisitions must fit our culture and enhance our growth opportunities.

Cash flows from operating activities. In the prior year, cash flows from operating activities were negatively impacted by increasing ocean freight rates resulting in a significant increase in net operating working capital which negatively impacted cash flows from operating activities. In the current year, our improved net income and a decrease in net operating working capital drove a significant improvement in cash flows from operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. We continue to closely monitor credit and collections activities and the quality of our accounts receivable balance to minimize risk as well as work with our customers to facilitate the movement of goods across their supply chains while also ensuring timely payment.
Cash flows from investing activities. Capital expenditures consisted primarily of investments in software, which are intended to develop and deliver scalable solutions by transforming our processes, accelerate the pace of development and prioritizing data integrity, improve our customer and carrier experience, and increase efficiency to help expand our adjusted operating margins and grow the business.
The sale of our Europe Surface Transportation business closed during the first quarter of 2025. We received $27.7 million of consideration at closing with the remaining consideration due in fixed equal installments on the 12-month and 18-month anniversary of the closing date subject to post-closing working capital adjustments. The remaining consideration due is collateralized by all current and future accounts receivable of the Europe Surface Transportation business.
Cash flows from financing activities. Net cash used for financing activities increased significantly in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, driven by an increase in cash returned to shareholders. In the six months ended June 30, 2025 we resumed share repurchases under our board authorization and increased our annual dividend to shareholders. Common stock surrendered to satisfy minimum statutory tax obligations under our stock incentive plans also increased compared to the prior year. Despite the increase in cash returned to shareholders, we also reduced our outstanding borrowings on debt.
The number of shares we repurchase, if any, during future periods will vary based on our cash position, other potential uses of our cash, and market conditions. Over the long term, we remain committed to our quarterly dividend and share repurchases to enhance shareholder value. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. We may seek to retire or purchase our outstanding Senior Notes through open market cash purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

We believe that, assuming no change in our current business plan, our available cash, together with expected future cash generated from operations, the amount available under our credit facilities, and credit available in the market, will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated needs for working capital, capital expenditures, and cash dividends for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. We also believe we could obtain funds under lines of credit or other forms of indebtedness on short notice, if needed.
As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt agreements.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not subject to any pending or threatened litigation other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business operations, including certain contingent auto liability cases. For some legal proceedings, we have accrued an amount that reflects the aggregate liability deemed probable and estimable, but this amount is not material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Because of the preliminary nature of many of these proceedings, the difficulty in ascertaining the applicable facts relating to many of these proceedings, the inconsistent treatment of claims made in many of these proceedings, and the difficulty of predicting the settlement value of many of these proceedings, we are often unable to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible additional losses. However, based upon our historical experience, the resolution of these proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. There have not been material changes in our risk factors set forth in the company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
