Marty Freeman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Dominion, commented, “Old Dominion produced strong financial results in the third quarter that included a 13.1% increase in revenue and a 28.9% increase in our earnings per diluted share. These results were made possible by the hard work and dedication of our OD Family of employees who continued to diligently execute on the core aspects of our long-term strategic plan. The cornerstone of our strategic plan remains our commitment to providing our customers with superior service at a fair price, and we were pleased that our service metrics were once again best-in-class in the third quarter with 99% on-time service and a claims ratio of 0.1%.

“Our 13.1% increase in revenue was primarily due to a 13.3% increase in our LTL revenue per hundredweight that was partially offset by a 0.1% decrease in our LTL tons per day. The decrease in our LTL tons per day reflects the net impact of a 2.0% decrease in our LTL shipments per day and a 1.9% increase in our LTL weight per shipment. Demand for our service improved during the quarter and our LTL tons per day increased on a year-over-year basis in September. LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 5.1% compared to the third quarter of 2025 as we continued to maintain our disciplined approach to yield management.

“Our operating ratio improved by 280 basis points to 71.5% for the third quarter of 2026. Within our direct operating costs, improvement in our salaries, wages and benefits as a percentage of revenue more than offset an increase in our

operating supplies and expenses. Our overhead costs improved by 170 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2025 due primarily to the leverage gained from the increase in our revenue as well as our continued efforts to control our discretionary spending. The combination of revenue growth and operating ratio improvement resulted in a 28.9% increase in our earnings per diluted share to $1.65 for the third quarter.”

Cash Flow and Use of Capital

Old Dominion’s net cash provided by operating activities was $469.5 million for the third quarter of 2026 and $1.1 billion for the first nine months of this year. The Company had $466.2 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2026.

Capital expenditures were $67.1 million for the third quarter of 2026 and $206.7 million for the first nine months of this year. The Company expects its aggregate capital expenditures for 2026 to total approximately $380 million, including planned expenditures of $180 million for real estate and service center expansion projects; $155 million for tractors and trailers; and $45 million for information technology and other assets.

Old Dominion continued to return capital to shareholders during the third quarter of 2026 through its share repurchase and dividend programs. For the first nine months of this year, the Company utilized $400.6 million of cash for its share repurchase program and paid $180.7 million in cash dividends.

Summary

Mr. Freeman concluded, “Old Dominion produced another quarter of strong, profitable revenue growth. Our unwavering commitment to providing our customers with the highest standard of service has created an unmatched value proposition in our industry and supports our ongoing focus on revenue quality. As this quarter demonstrates, our consistent investments in our network, our people and our technology provide us with the flexibility to respond quickly to changes in the demand environment. This flexibility allows us to support our customers with the capacity that they require while continuing to operate efficiently. As a result, we remai

Marty Freeman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Dominion, commented, “Old Dominion’s second quarter financial results include a 10.4% increase in revenue, a 30.0% increase in operating income, and earnings per diluted share that match our previous Company record that we set in the third quarter of 2022. The strength of our second quarter financial results reflects continued improvement in demand trends and the benefits of our long-term focus on yield discipline and operational execution. In addition, we continued to provide our customers with best-in-class customer service with 99% on-time service and a claims ratio of 0.1%.

“Our 10.4% increase in revenue was primarily due to a 15.2% increase in our LTL revenue per hundredweight that was partially offset by a 4.1% decrease in our LTL tons per day. The decrease in our LTL tons per day reflects the net impact of a 5.7% decrease in our LTL shipments per day and a 1.7% increase in our LTL weight per shipment. LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 5.5% compared to the second quarter of 2025. Our disciplined approach to yield management is designed to offset our cost inflation over the long term while also supporting our ongoing investments in our capacity, our technology, and our people.

“Our operating ratio improved by 450 basis points to 70.1% for the second quarter of 2026. We continued to operate efficiently during the quarter and maintained our focus on revenue quality, which contributed to a 230 basis-point

improvement in our direct operating costs as a percent of revenue. Our overhead costs as a percent of revenue also improved compared to the year-ago period, due in part to the $17.2 million of net gains from the disposal of property and equipment. The combination of revenue growth and operating ratio improvement resulted in a 32.3% increase in our earnings per diluted share to $1.68 for the second quarter.”

Cash Flow and Use of Capital

Old Dominion’s net cash provided by operating activities was $272.7 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $646.3 million for the first half of the year. The Company had $283.9 million in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2026.

Capital expenditures were $77.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $139.6 million for the first half of the year. The Company expects its aggregate capital expenditures for 2026 to total approximately $380 million. This total now includes planned expenditures of $180 million for real estate and service center expansion projects; $155 million for tractors and trailers; and $45 million for information technology and other assets.

Old Dominion continued to return capital to shareholders during the second quarter of 2026 through its share repurchase and dividend programs. For the first six months of this year, the Company utilized $239.7 million of cash for its share repurchase program and paid $120.7 million in cash dividends.

Summary

I want to thank our team for their unwavering commitment to our customers, which has created an unmatched value proposition in our industry.

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.”
