SEC filingTFI International reported Q1 2026 results with lower revenue and profitability versus prior year due to weaker demand, offset partially by acquisitions, alongside increased quarterly dividend and Q2 EPS guidance.
TFI International's Q1 2026 results showed revenue before fuel surcharge at $1,702.6 million, down slightly from $1,714.5 million in Q1 2025, primarily due to reduced volumes from weaker end-market demand, partially offset by $53.7 million in contributions from acquisitions including Triangle Warehouse in the Truckload segment. Operating income fell to $96.6 million from $114.6 million, driven by the revenue decline and $6.7 million in incremental accident-related expenses, though acquisitions added $9.4 million. Corporate expenses rose to $24.1 million from $12.5 million, mainly from higher accident costs. Segment performance was mixed: Less-Than-Truckload revenue dropped to $656.3 million with operating income at $30.6 million (4.7% margin) versus $47.1 million (6.9%), reflecting a 35% decline; Truckload revenue grew to $672.8 million with operating income up 14% to $55.8 million (8.3% margin); Logistics revenue edged up to $388.3 million with operating income increasing 10% to $34.4 million (8.9% margin). CEO Alain Bédard highlighted exceeding earnings outlook on stronger revenue and profitability in Truckload and Logistics despite early-quarter weather issues, crediting team efforts, strategic acquisitions enhancing industrial exposure, and efficiency focus. Cash from operations declined to $121.5 million from $193.6 million due to working capital changes from receivables growth outpacing payables amid shorter fuel payment cycles. Free cash flow was $123.7 million. The Board approved a 4% dividend hike to $0.47 per share. Guidance includes Q2 adjusted diluted EPS of $1.50-$1.60 and full-year net capex of $225-$250 million excluding real estate, signaling confidence amid improving freight dynamics.
