Marty Freeman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Dominion, commented, “Old Dominion’s first quarter financial results reflect a continuation of encouraging trends that started developing late last year. While our first quarter revenue decreased on a year-over-year basis, demand for our LTL service improved as the quarter progressed. The improvement in demand, coupled with our ability to consistently deliver superior service to our customers, contributed to both the acceleration in our LTL volumes and improvement in our yield during the quarter. Our industry-leading service metrics for the first quarter once again included 99% on-time service and a claims ratio below 0.1%. These service standards form the foundation of our unmatched value proposition, which we believe will support our ability to win market share over the long term.

“Our revenue decreased 2.9% as compared to the first quarter of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a 7.7% decrease in our LTL tons per day that was partially offset by an increase in our LTL revenue per hundredweight. The decrease in our LTL tons per day reflects the net impact of a 7.9% decrease in our LTL shipments per day and a 0.3% increase in our LTL weight per shipment. LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 4.4% compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting our long-term, disciplined approach to yield management.

“Our operating ratio increased by 80 basis points to 76.2% for the first quarter of 2026, as the increase in our overhead costs as a percent of revenue more than offset the improvement in our direct operating costs. Our overhead costs increased as a percent of revenue primarily due to the deleveraging effect associated with the decrease in revenue as well as an overall increase in our general supplies and expenses. Our direct operating costs, however, improved as a percent of revenue due to our continued focus on revenue quality and operating efficiencies. The combination of a decrease in our revenue and an increase in our operating ratio resulted in a 4.2% reduction in our earnings per diluted share to $1.14 for the first quarter.”

Cash Flow and Use of Capital

Old Dominion’s net cash provided by operating activities was $373.6 million for the first quarter of 2026. The Company had $288.1 million in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026.

Capital expenditures were $62.6 million for the first quarter of 2026. The Company expects its aggregate capital expenditures for 2026 to total approximately $265 million. This total includes planned expenditures of $125 million for real estate and service center expansion projects; $95 million for tractors and trailers; and $45 million for information technology and other assets.

Old Dominion continued to return capital to shareholders during the first quarter of 2026 through its share repurchase and dividend programs. For the quarter, the Company utilized $88.1 million of cash for its share repurchase program and paid $60.5 million in cash dividends.

Summary

Mr. Freeman concluded, “Old Dominion produced solid results during the first quarter as we continued to diligently execute our long-term strategic plan, the cornerstone of which remains our commitment to provide our customers with superior service at a fair price. Our industry-leading customer service, combined with our consistent investments in our network, our technology and our people, uniquely positions us to capitalize on an improving demand environment. Our team has all the necessary elements of capacity to effectively manage incremental volume opportunities. As a result, we are confident in our ability to win market share, generate profitable revenue growth and increase shareholder value over the long term.”
