GXO Logistics Reports 8% Revenue Growth to $3.4 Billion in Q3 2025

GXO Logistics, Inc. reported a significant increase in financial performance for the third quarter of 2025, with revenue reaching $3.4 billion, an 8% increase from $3.2 billion in the same period last year. For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, total revenue was $9.7 billion, up 14% from $8.5 billion in 2024. The growth was attributed to both organic business expansion and favorable foreign currency movements, which contributed approximately $115 million and $209 million to quarterly and year-to-date revenues, respectively. The company's operating income also improved, rising to $118 million for the quarter, a 46% increase compared to $81 million in Q3 2024.

In terms of expenses, direct operating costs increased by 7% to $2.9 billion for the third quarter, reflecting the growth in business and foreign currency impacts. Selling, general, and administrative expenses rose to $285 million, up from $265 million in the prior year. Notably, the company incurred $14 million in transaction and integration costs related to the Wincanton acquisition, which was completed in April 2024. The acquisition has had a substantial impact on GXO's financials, contributing $655 million to revenue for the nine-month period.

Operationally, GXO has seen a shift in its leadership, appointing Patrick Kelleher as the new CEO in the third quarter of 2025. The company continues to focus on enhancing its service offerings and expanding its market presence, particularly in the United Kingdom and Europe, where it has established a strong foothold through the Wincanton acquisition. As of September 30, 2025, the company reported total assets of $11.9 billion, up from $11.3 billion at the end of 2024, while total liabilities increased to $8.9 billion from $8.2 billion.

GXO's employee headcount has also seen changes, with the company actively managing its workforce in response to operational needs and restructuring efforts. The company reported a net loss of $7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net income of $38 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased interest expenses and regulatory matters. The effective tax rate for the third quarter was notably high at 31.2%, driven by a jurisdictional shift in pre-tax income and non-deductible expenses.

Looking ahead, GXO remains optimistic about its growth trajectory, bolstered by its strategic acquisitions and operational efficiencies. The company has authorized a $500 million stock repurchase plan, with $300 million remaining as of September 30, 2025. Management believes that the combination of cash reserves, operational cash flow, and available credit will provide sufficient liquidity to support ongoing operations and future growth initiatives.
