During the second quarter of 2026, consolidated total revenue was $2.1 billion, a 12.6% increase from the second quarter of 2025, while consolidated revenue, excluding truckload and LTL fuel surcharge, grew 5.5%. Consolidated operating income was $104.9 million, a 44.4% increase compared to the same quarter last year. Adjusted Operating Income was $151.0 million, a 45.5% increase year-over-year. The consolidated operating ratio for the quarter improved 110 basis points year-over-year to 95.0%, and the Adjusted Operating Ratio1 improved 240 basis points to 91.4%.

•Truckload — Revenue, excluding fuel surcharge, increased 2.8% year-over-year driven by a 5.5% improvement in revenue per loaded mile, excluding fuel surcharge and intersegment transactions. Adjusted Operating Ratio of 91.0% was 360 basis points better year-over-year, primarily driven by pricing improvement and a 140 basis point reduction in empty miles percentage.

•LTL — Revenue, excluding fuel surcharge, decreased 1.4% year-over-year on a 3.7% decrease in shipments per day as initiatives to improve freight mix and network efficiency continue. Tonnage per day grew 4.0% on a 7.9% increase in weight per shipment, and length of haul grew 5.3%. Adjusted Operating Ratio of 92.1% improved 100 basis points year-over-year.

•Logistics — Revenue grew 8.9% year-over-year as revenue per load increased 29.6% while load count declined 16.4% as we maintain a disciplined approach to profitability and carrier quality. Gross margin of 15.4% declined 120 basis points sequentially from first quarter levels as pressure on third-party capacity continues.

•Intermodal — Revenue grew 34.9% year-over-year and Operating Ratio improved 470 basis points to 99.4%. Revenue per load grew 12.8% and load count improved 19.6% year-over-year to the highest second quarter mark since 2021.

Our GAAP and non-GAAP results for the quarter include certain items that impact the comparability of year-over-year results. These items include a $17.6 million reduction in interest expense and a 4.9 percentage point increase in the effective tax rate on our GAAP results year-over-year. Additionally, operating income for the current quarter includes $5.8 million of costs for the new accounts receivable securitization program whereas costs of the prior arrangement were reported in interest expense prior to 2026. Further, our GAAP results for the current quarter include a $22.8 million expense for a mark-to-market adjustment related to certain purchase price obligations associated with the acquisition of U.S. Xpress, an $18.2 million severance charge primarily related to the retirement and related consulting arrangement for our former executive chairman, an $8.2 million increase in estimated accrual exposure related to a pre-acquisition U.S. Xpress tax assessment, and a $1.5 million write-off of debt issuance costs, while the prior year quarter included $11.5 million of impairment and severance charges, all of which are excluded from our non-GAAP results as shown in the reconciliation schedules following this release.

Adam Miller, CEO of Knight-Swift, commented, "The second quarter saw a continued and rapid progression in truckload market conditions, with supply-driven tightening pushing spot rates, tender rejection rates, and contractual negotiations higher over the course of the quarter. We believe our business is positioned particularly well for environments such as this, with our leading over-the-road scale, agility in the market to optimize yield, collaborative cross-brand solutions to meet shippers' needs, an industry-leading academy network and training infrastructure to source professional drivers, and an intense cultural focus on cost and excellence in execution to convert opportunities into earnings. We believe demand for our truckload service offering is outpacing the market, as evidenced by our tender rejection rates running roughly twice the levels of public indicators in the second quarter. Realized revenue per mile was just beginning to recover in the second quarter, as contract rate improvement in the period was largely driven by bids priced early in the year, with more recent bids reflecting the tighter backdrop only starting to take effect late in the quarter. While our Truckload revenue and margin grew during the quarter, we anticipate meaningful opportunity ahead as the improvement in rate per loaded mile accelerated from low single-digits coming into the quarter to high single-digits in June. Our over-the-road business in particular posted double-digit year-over-year improvement in rate for the month of June. In addition, disciplined network management amplified the margin opportunity as a reduction in empty miles produced even greater improvement in revenue per total mile.

"Beyond the truckload market, the LTL market saw solid demand that is starting to trend up in certain areas along with indirect benefits from the tightening in the truckload market. We are encouraged by steady gains in rate renewals, ongoing improvements in freight mix, and progress driving network efficiencies. Our Logistics segment was impacted by the squeeze on gross margin that persisted through the second quarter as the cost of spot capacity continued to escalate faster than contractual pricing gains. Our Intermodal segment posted strong volume growth and early stages of pricing improvement. Combined with structural cost reductions and efficiency gains, these factors returned the business to profitability, and we intend to build on that momentum.

"Driver availability is showing signs of tightness as safe, quality drivers are becoming more of a premium. We continue to monitor this situation across our services closely and are taking thoughtful, intentional actions designed to maximize the success of both our professional drivers and our businesses. Similar to our outlook last quarter, we expect momentum across our businesses to build as rates continue to be reset, as we maintain our cost and operational initiatives, and as we anticipate more spot and project opportunities than we have seen in recent years."

Other (Expense) Income — We recorded $17.9 million of expense within "Other (expense) income, net" in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $13.2 million of income in the second quarter of 2025. The net expense in the current period is primarily the result of a $22.8 million expense for the mark-to-market adjustment related to certain purchase price obligations associated with the acquisition of U.S. Xpress and a $1.5 million write-off of debt issuance costs, both of which are excluded from our non-GAAP results.

Income Taxes — The effective tax rate on our GAAP results was 34.1% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 29.2% for the second quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate on our non-GAAP results was 24.4% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 28.0% for the second quarter of 2025.

Dividend — On May 12, 2026, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share of our common stock. The dividend was payable to the Company's stockholders of record as of June 8, 2026, and was paid on June 22, 2026.

Segment Financial Performance

Truckload Segment

Quarter Ended June 30,

2026 2025 Change

(Dollars in thousands)

Revenue, excluding fuel surcharge and intersegment transactions $ 1,103,069 $ 1,073,300 2.8 %

Operating income $ 89,145 $ 45,420 96.3 %

Adjusted Operating Income 1

$ 98,924 $ 58,404 69.4 %

Operating ratio 93.4 % 96.3 % (290 bps)

Adjusted Operating Ratio 1

91.0 % 94.6 % (360 bps)

1See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation in the schedules following this release.

Our diverse Truckload segment consists of our irregular route, dedicated, refrigerated, expedited, flatbed, and cross-border truckload operations across our brands with approximately 14,900 irregular route tractors and nearly 5,800 dedicated tractors.

The Truckload market continued to rapidly evolve in the second quarter as seen in broad market indicators showing strengthening spot rates, contract pricing, and load tender rejection rates. Truckload segment revenue, excluding fuel surcharge and intersegment transactions, grew 2.8% year-over-year, as a 5.5% improvement in revenue per loaded mile, excluding fuel surcharge and intersegment transactions, overcame a 2.6% decrease in loaded miles which was largely driven by a tightening driver supply that pressured our seated truck count. Adjusted Operating Ratio improved 360 basis points year-over-year to 91.0%. Adjusted Operating Income improved 69.4% year-over-year, largely as a result of the improvement in pricing and a 140 basis point reduction in empty miles percentage as we improve the efficiency of our network. Total miles per tractor declined 1.4% year-over-year, largely due to the reduction in empty miles as loaded miles per tractor increased year-over-year for the seventh consecutive quarter.

The ongoing progress at U.S. Xpress is encouraging, and this brand is making strides with greater rate improvement than the legacy brands in the strengthening market, as we expected given the relative starting points. This helped the U.S. Xpress over-the-road division reach an important milestone, as the most challenged part of the business at the time of acquisition achieved its first profitable quarter since the acquisition. Across our truckload segment, we are focused on closely monitoring market pricing and demand development, intentionally deploying capacity, intensely managing costs, increasing our seated truck percentage, and enhancing utilization in order to maximize the opportunities provided by an improving market.

LTL Segment

Quarter Ended June 30,

2026 2025 Change

(Dollars in thousands)

Revenue, excluding fuel surcharge $ 333,006 $ 337,726 (1.4 %)

Operating income $ 21,659 $ 18,333 18.1 %

Adjusted Operating Income 1

$ 26,449 $ 23,353 13.3 %

Operating ratio 94.8 % 95.3 % (50 bps)

Adjusted Operating Ratio 1

92.1 % 93.1 % (100 bps)

1See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation in the schedules following this release.

The LTL market is experiencing demand that is generally solid and starting to trend better with indirect effects beginning to emerge from the truckload market tightening. Revenue, excluding fuel surcharge, declined 1.4% year-over-year driven by a 3.7% decrease in shipments per day as we metered certain volumes to improve network efficiency, freight mix, and service delivery. Improvements in freight mix produced 4.0% growth in daily tonnage, 7.9% growth in weight per shipment, and a 5.3% increase in length of haul year-over-year. Revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharge, fell 4.2%, driven by the increase in weight per shipment while renewal rates continued their recent trend of mid single-digit percentage increases. Revenue per shipment, excluding fuel surcharge, increased by 3.4% year-over-year. The Adjusted Operating Ratio improved 100 basis points year-over-year to 92.1%, and Adjusted Operating Income grew 13.3%.

During the quarter, we replaced three facilities with larger ones and opened one new service center to improve network efficiency and facilitate further growth. We believe ongoing bid events with new and existing customers will provide further opportunities to grow shipment volume, improve our freight mix, and drive operational efficiencies. Our near-term focus is to drive both revenue and margin expansion in the business through strong service, disciplined pricing, and cost efficiency. We continue to look for both organic and inorganic opportunities to geographically expand our footprint within the LTL market.

Logistics Segment

Quarter Ended June 30,

2026 2025 Change

(Dollars in thousands)

Revenue $ 139,696 $ 128,298 8.9 %

Operating income $ 3,827 $ 5,547 (31.0 %)

Adjusted Operating Income 1

$ 4,986 $ 6,711 (25.7 %)

Operating ratio 97.3 % 95.7 % 160 bps

Adjusted Operating Ratio 1

96.4 % 94.8 % 160 bps

1See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation in the schedules following this release.

The Logistics segment grew revenue 8.9% year-over-year, driven by a 29.6% increase in revenue per load, partially offset by a 16.4% decline in load count as we maintain a disciplined approach to profitability and carrier quality. The Adjusted Operating Ratio of 96.4% was a 160 basis point degradation year-over-year, as a reduction in industry capacity and further enhancements to our rigorous carrier screening practices drove up purchased transportation costs, pressuring gross margins and load acceptance. Gross margin percent declined 350 basis points year-over-year and 120 basis points sequentially from the first quarter to 15.4%.

As contractual pricing is reset through bid activity and proactive rate reviews, we expect to improve load volumes at appropriate gross margins. We remain disciplined on price and diligent in carrier qualification to provide value to customers while maintaining profitability. We continue to leverage our power-only capabilities to complement our asset business, build a broader and more diversified freight portfolio, and to enhance the returns on our capital assets.

Intermodal Segment

Quarter Ended June 30,

2026 2025 Change

(Dollars in thousands)

Revenue $ 113,388 $ 84,065 34.9 %

Operating income (loss) $ 653 $ (3,429) —

Operating ratio 99.4 % 104.1 % (470 bps)

The Intermodal segment grew revenue 34.9% and improved its operating ratio 470 basis points year-over-year through a 19.6% increase in load count, a 12.8% increase in revenue per load, and improvements in cost and network efficiency. On a sequential basis, load count grew 9.7%, and revenue per load grew 10.4% over the first quarter levels. We outsource only a low single-digit percentage of our drayage needs, which should provide some insulation from the tightening in dray capacity. We remain focused on delivering excellent service and driving appropriate returns through cost control, network balance, equipment utilization, and growing our load count with disciplined pricing.

All Other Segments

Quarter Ended June 30,

2026 2025 Change

(Dollars in thousands)

Revenue $ 105,564 $ 74,446 41.8 %

Operating (loss) income $ (10,433) $ 6,745 (254.7 %)

All Other Segments include warehousing and support services provided to our customers, independent contractors, and third-party carriers, including equipment leasing, trailer parts manufacturing, insurance, equipment maintenance, and warranty services. All Other Segments also include certain corporate expenses (such as legal settlements and accruals, as well as $11.5 million in quarterly amortization of intangibles related to the 2017 merger between Knight and Swift and certain acquisitions). Additionally, beginning January 1, 2026, All Other Segments also includes the cost of our accounts receivable securitization program that was formerly reported in interest expense.

Revenue within our All Other Segments for the second quarter increased 41.8% year-over-year, driven by growth in warehousing and trailer leasing. Operating results declined year-over-year to an operating loss due to the inclusion of the $5.8 million of costs for the accounts receivable securitization program as well as an $18.2 million severance charge primarily related to the retirement and related consulting arrangement for our former executive chairman, which is excluded from our consolidated non-GAAP results as shown in the reconciliation schedules following this release.

1"Net decrease in cash, restricted cash, and equivalents" is derived from changes within "Cash and cash equivalents," "Cash and cash equivalents – restricted," and the long-term portion of restricted cash included in "Other long-term assets" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Liquidity and Capitalization — As of June 30, 2026, we had a balance of $1.7 billion of unrestricted cash and available liquidity and $7.0 billion of stockholders' equity. The face value of our debt, net of unrestricted cash ("Net Debt") was $2.2 billion as of June 30, 2026. Free Cash Flow3 for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2026, was $190.4 million, reflecting $450.4 million in operating cash flows and $259.9 million of cash capital expenditures, net of disposal proceeds. From a financing perspective, during the first half of 2026 we issued $1.5 billion face amount of convertible 1.0% bonds due November 2031, and we made $626.0 million of net payments on our 2025 Revolver, $775.0 million in payments on outstanding term loans, $66.7 million in payments on our finance lease liabilities and $77.6 million in payments on operating lease liabilities. Additionally, we had a net increase of $63.0 million in the outstanding investment in the accounts receivable securitization program.

Equipment and Capital Expenditures — Gain on sale of operating assets was $23.4 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $11.7 million in the same quarter of 2025. The average age of the tractor fleet within our Truckload segment was 2.8 years in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 2.7 years in the same quarter of 2025. The average age of the tractor fleet within our LTL segment was 3.8 years in the second quarter of 2026 and 4.5 years in the same quarter of 2025. We expect net cash capital expenditures for full-year 2026 will be in the range of $600 million - $650 million. Our expected net cash capital expenditures primarily represent replacements of existing tractors and trailers and investments in our terminal network, driver amenities, and technology, and exclude acquisitions.

______________

3See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations in the schedules following this release.

Guidance — We expect that Adjusted EPS1 will range from $0.71 to $0.77 for the third quarter of 2026. In general, this guidance for the third quarter assumes current conditions continue with pressured capacity and stable demand and that we experience typical seasonal demand patterns in the truckload and LTL markets. Our expected Adjusted EPS1 range is based on the current truckload, LTL, and general market conditions, recent trends, and the current beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of management, as follows:

Truckload

•Truckload Segment revenue, excluding fuel surcharge, up mid single digit percent year-over-year with Adjusted Operating Ratio improving 650 - 750 basis points year-over-year in third quarter.

LTL

•LTL Segment revenue, excluding fuel surcharge, up low single digit percent year-over-year with Adjusted Operating Ratio in low 90's for third quarter.

Logistics

•Logistics Segment revenue and Adjusted Operating Ratio fairly stable sequentially in third quarter.

Intermodal

•Intermodal Segment revenue up low single-digit percent sequentially with Adjusted Operating Ratio improving slightly sequentially in third quarter.

All Other

•All Other Segments operating income, before including the $11.5 million quarterly intangible asset amortization, approximately $18 million to $22 million in third quarter, which includes approximately $6 million of AR securitization cost that was reported as interest expense in 2025.

Additional

•Gain on sale to be in the range of $12 million to $17 million in third quarter,

•Net interest expense down approximately $5 million sequentially in third quarter,

•"Other income, net" below the line expected to be roughly $2 million to $4 million in third quarter,

•Net cash capital expenditures for full-year 2026 expected range of $600 million - $650 million,

•Expected effective tax rate on adjusted income before taxes of approximately 25.5% to 26.5% for third quarter and approximately 25.0% to 26.0% for full year 2026.

The factors described under "Forward-Looking Statements," among others, could cause actual results to materially vary from this guidance. Further, we cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis, the impact of certain income and expense items on our earnings per share, because these items, which could be significant, may be infrequent, are difficult to predict, and may be highly variable. As a result, we do not provide a corresponding GAAP measure for, or reconciliation to, our Adjusted EPS1 guidance.

_____________

1Our calculation of Adjusted EPS starts with GAAP diluted earnings per share and adds back the after-tax impact of intangible asset amortization (which is expected to be approximately $0.34 for full-year 2026), as well as non-cash impairments and certain other unusual items, if any.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

The terms "Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift," "Adjusted Operating Income," "Adjusted Operating Expenses," "Adjusted EPS," "Adjusted Operating Ratio," and "Free Cash Flow," as we define them, are not presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures supplement our GAAP results in evaluating certain aspects of our business. We believe that using these measures improves comparability in analyzing our performance because they remove the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Management and the board of directors focus on Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Expenses, and Adjusted Operating Ratio as key measures of our performance, all of which are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures and further discussed below. Management and the board of directors use Free Cash Flow as a key measure of our liquidity. Free Cash Flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We believe our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Ratio, and Free Cash Flow, are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures, such as net income, cash flows from operating activities, operating margin, or other measures prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. Although we believe that they improve comparability in analyzing our period to period performance, they could limit comparability to other companies in our industry if those companies define these measures differently. Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered measures of income generated by our business or discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis.
