GXO Logistics reported second-quarter 2026 financial results Tuesday that showed continued momentum in contract logistics despite a cautious global freight environment.
Revenue increased 4.3% year over year to $3.4 billion, while organic revenue rose 3.4%, reflecting growth across all three of the company’s geographic regions.
Chief Executive Officer Patrick Kelleher said the company is benefiting from three strategic priorities: strengthening its commercial organization, improving operational execution through its “GXO Way” operating model, and expanding artificial intelligence and next-generation automation through its GXO IQ platform.
“Our commercial momentum is particularly evident in North America, a key growth market, where our wins in the first half of the year increased 85% over the same time last year,” Kelleher said in a news release.
Greenwich, Connecticut-based GXO Logistics (NYSE: GXO) is one of the largest pure-play contract logistics providers in the world. It has more than 970 facilities totaling approximately 200 million square feet, with a global workforce of more than 130,000 people.
GXO also secured approximately $410 million in new business wins during the quarter, a 34% increase from a year earlier and the company’s strongest quarterly commercial performance in three years. About 40% of those wins came from aerospace and defense, technology, industrial and life sciences.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $219 million, up from $212 million a year ago, while adjusted diluted earnings per share rose to 59 cents, compared with 57 cents in the second quarter of 2025.
GAAP net income totaled $27 million, compared with $28 million a year earlier, while diluted earnings per share slipped slightly to 22 cents from 23 cents.
Cash generation also improved significantly. Operating cash flow reached $76 million, versus $3 million in the prior-year quarter, while free cash flow totaled $12 million, compared with negative $43 million during the second quarter of 2025.
GXO said it has already secured approximately $1 billion of incremental revenue for 2026, up 29% year over year, along with $353 million of incremental 2027 revenue. The company also noted its commercial sales pipeline expanded from $2.3 billion at the end of the second quarter to approximately $2.7 billion in July, providing increased visibility into future growth.
The company maintained the midpoint of its 2026 financial outlook, projecting:
- Organic revenue growth of 4% to 5%
- Adjusted EBITDA of $945 million to $965 million
- Adjusted diluted EPS of $2.95 to $3.15
- Free cash flow conversion of 30% to 40%
GXO will hold a conference call with analysts at 8:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday.
