“The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by higher pricing in the North American surface transportation market toward the end of the first quarter of 2026.”

“Global Forwarding total revenues and direct costs decreased significantly in the first quarter of 2026, primarily driven by lower volumes across all services and significantly lower pricing and purchased transportation costs in ocean services.”
