AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · ArcBest (ARCB)

ArcBest swings to Q1 net loss of $1.0 million despite revenue rise to $998.8 million

Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

ArcBest reported unaudited first quarter 2026 results on April 28, 2026. Revenue rose to $998.8 million from $967.1 million a year earlier, but the company posted a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.1 million, or $0.13, in the prior-year quarter. Asset-Light profitability improved, while the Asset-Based operating ratio worsened, so per-share profit fell for shareholders on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.

Key points

  • Revenue of $998.8 million versus $967.1 million in first quarter 2025
  • GAAP net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, versus net income of $3.1 million, or $0.13
  • Non-GAAP net income of $7.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, versus $11.9 million, or $0.51
  • Asset-Based operating ratio of 97.3% versus 95.9%; Asset-Light operating income of $0.2 million versus a loss of $4.4 million
