Revenue rose 4% to $2.8 billion, while ocean freight revenue declined and the company warned of continued ocean market weakness and an unpredictable freight environment.

  • Operating income rose 11% to $295 million, and net earnings attributable to shareholders rose 13% to $230 million.
  • Ocean freight and ocean services revenue fell to $599 million from $782 million a year earlier, due to lower pricing and volume.
  • The company returned $288 million to shareholders through share repurchases and generated $309 million of cash from operations in the quarter.
  • Management said it expects the ocean market to remain impacted by abundant capacity and weak pricing, and expects continued robust demand for customs brokerage services.

Written later: this filing was briefed after the fact, when past filings were added to the site, so the brief may be read with hindsight; the filing itself is the record of what was known on May 05, 2026.

Briefs are written by AI from the filing text (each brief's own page names the model) and can contain mistakes — open the filing before acting on anything. Impact (1-5) and tone are the model's reading of the filing for shareholders, not a price forecast. Not investment advice.
