Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Operating margin = operating income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

INTRODUCTION

Company Overview

We are a transportation and logistics services company providing a comprehensive, multimodal portfolio of truckload, intermodal, and logistics solutions. Our diversified portfolio of complementary service offerings enables us to serve our customers’ varied transportation needs while allocating capital in a manner designed to maximize returns across market cycles and economic conditions. We continuously monitor our performance and prevailing market conditions to ensure appropriate deployment of capital and resources to support business growth and optimize returns across our reportable segments. Our strong balance sheet, scalable platform, and experienced management and operations teams support our acquisition strategy, which focuses on acquiring high-quality businesses that meet our disciplined selection criteria, enhance our service offerings, and broaden our customer base.

Our truckload services include over-the-road freight transportation utilizing dry van, bulk, temperature-controlled, and flat-bed trailers under network or dedicated configurations. Freight is transported and delivered by our company-employed drivers operating company-owned equipment, as well as by owner-operators utilizing company-owned trailers. These services are provided through long-haul or regional operations and include customized solutions for high-value and time-sensitive freight throughout North America.

Our intermodal services consist of door-to-door container on flat car transportation utilizing a combination of rail and drayage services in coordination with our rail provider partners. Our intermodal operations primarily use company-owned containers, chassis, and trucks, with most drayage services performed by company drivers, supplemented by third-party drayage capacity.

Our logistics services are asset-light and include freight brokerage (both traditional brokerage and Power Only services, which leverage our nationwide company-owned trailer pools to match third-party capacity with customer demand), supply chain solutions (including 3PL), warehousing, and import/export services. These offerings provide value-added transportation and supply-chain solutions utilizing a combination of company-owned assets and third-party capacity, supported by our trailing assets, to manage and move customer freight efficiently.

Our success depends on our ability to effectively balance our transportation network and efficiently manage resources across our truckload, intermodal, and logistics operations. Resource requirements vary based on customer demand, which may be impacted by seasonal patterns and general economic conditions. We believe our disciplined freight selection and ability to adapt to changes in customer transportation needs allow us to efficiently deploy resources and make capital investments in trucks, trailers, containers, and chassis, or to secure qualified third-party capacity at competitive rates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this section of our report, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), (2) adjusted income from operations, (3) adjusted total operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge revenues, (4) adjusted operating ratio, (5) adjusted net income, (6) adjusted EBITDA, and (7) free cash flow. We also provide reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes the use of each of these non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding our business by (1) removing the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance, (2) providing investors with the same information our management uses internally to assess our core operating performance, and (3) presenting comparable financial results between periods. In addition, in the case of revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) and adjusted total operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge revenues, we believe these measures are useful to investors because they isolate volume, price, and cost changes directly related to industry demand and the way we operate our business from the external factor of fluctuating fuel prices and the programs we have in place to manage such fluctuations. Fuel-related costs and their impact on our industry are important to our results of operations, but they are often independent of other, more relevant factors affecting our results of operations and our industry. Free cash flow is used as a measure to assess overall liquidity and does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt.

Table of Contents

Although we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, they have limitations as analytical tools and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. You should not consider the non-GAAP measures in this report in isolation or as substitutes for, or alternatives to, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of unusual or infrequent items or other adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will not be affected by unusual or infrequent items or other items similar to such adjustments. Our management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results in addition to using the non-GAAP measures.

Enterprise Summary

The following table includes key GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated enterprise. Adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP measures are made at the enterprise level, with the exception of fuel surcharge revenues, which are not included in segment revenues.

INTRODUCTION

Company Overview

Strategy

We seek to deliver a resilient, high-quality portfolio of transportation and logistics services designed to support consistent revenue growth, margin performance, and long‑term shareholder value. Our strategy reflects Schneider’s commitment to high‑quality service, operational excellence, and disciplined capital deployment across economic and freight cycles, and it is grounded in our purpose to turn complexity into control for our customers and elevate transportation into a strategic advantage for them. We advance this strategy through five priorities:

Leverage core strengths to drive organic growth and advance our market position

Our diversified portfolio, spanning multiple asset intensities and transportation modes, provides customers with flexible and reliable supply chain options across North America intended to provide resiliency amid shifting market conditions.

We manage growth with a focus on profitability and stakeholder considerations. Our integrated technology platform supports real-time visibility, data-driven decision support, and increased network efficiency. Combined with an agile, solutions-oriented commercial organization, these capabilities are designed to support service quality and share capture across our reportable segments.

Expand capabilities in the specialty, dedicated, and asset-light services

We plan to grow in specialty and dedicated transportation markets, where operational complexity and elevated service requirements can support deeper customer relationships. Our scale, specialized equipment, and experienced driver base support our ability to serve freight needs - including those with specific handling, timing, or regulatory requirements – and we maintain programs designed to support compliance and dependable execution.

We also continue to advance our multimodal strategy. As an asset-based intermodal provider, we maintain control of equipment, dray capacity, and service quality through differentiated rail relationships and an integrated technology backbone. These capabilities are intended to enhance service consistency, end-to-end visibility, and customer outcomes.

Our Logistics business, including freight brokerage, remains a strategic growth engine. Our FreightPower® digital marketplace, broad carrier network, and Power Only solutions give shippers access to competitive, scalable capacity. In 2025, we implemented stricter qualification requirements for certain third-party carriers in response to cargo theft concerns, which reduced the number of carriers in our network and influenced volume and mix within the period. Logistics also plays a role in innovation, including analytics, AI-enabled automation, and customer experience design.

Improve operations and margins through technology and business transformation

Technology remains fundamental to our efforts to enhance efficiency, service quality, and network performance. We continue investing in digital tools and AI solutions that improve load matching, optimize resources, and streamline operations with greater control and precision across all segments. These initiatives affect operating expenses and are expected to influence productivity and our cost structure over time. These capabilities also support driver satisfaction by aligning routes, schedules, and preferences more accurately.

Customer interfaces emphasize simplicity and transparency. Our FreightPower® platform further connects our asset‑based network with broader third‑party capacity, while our next‑generation transportation management system is expected to further enhance the scalability and intelligence of our ecosystem. We believe these transformation efforts will support productivity, revenue management, and analytics-driven decisioning over time.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 is presented below. A discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023 can be found under Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025 and is available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov, as well as the “Investors” section of our website at www.schneider.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this section of our report, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), (2) adjusted income from operations, (3) adjusted total operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge revenues, (4) adjusted operating ratio, (5) adjusted net income, (6) adjusted EBITDA, and (7) free cash flow. We also provide reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes the use of each of these non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding our business by (1) removing the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance, (2) providing investors with the same information our management uses internally to assess our core operating performance, and (3) presenting comparable financial results between periods. In addition, in the case of revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) and adjusted total operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge revenues, we believe these measures are useful to investors because they isolate volume, price, and cost changes directly related to industry demand and the way we operate our business from the external factor of fluctuating fuel prices and the programs we have in place to manage such fluctuations. Fuel-related costs and their impact on our industry are important to our results of operations, but they are often independent of other, more relevant factors affecting our results of operations and our industry. Free cash flow is used as a measure to assess overall liquidity and does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt.

Although we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, they have limitations as analytical tools and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. You should not consider the non-GAAP measures in this report in isolation or as substitutes for, or alternatives to, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of unusual or infrequent items or other adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will not be affected by unusual or infrequent items or other items similar to such adjustments. Our management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results in addition to using the non-GAAP measures.

Enterprise Summary

The following table includes key GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated enterprise. Adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP measures are made at the enterprise level, with the exception of fuel surcharge revenues, which are not included in segment revenues.
