Werner Enterprises, Inc. reported a decline in financial performance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, with total operating revenues of $2.97 billion, a decrease of 1.8% from $3.03 billion in 2024. The company's net loss attributable to Werner was $14.4 million, compared to a net income of $34.2 million in the previous year, marking a significant shift in profitability. Operating income also fell sharply to $11.7 million, down 82.4% from $66.1 million in 2024, resulting in an operating margin of just 0.4%, down from 2.2% the prior year.
The decline in revenues was primarily driven by a 4.0% decrease in the Truckload Transportation Services (TTS) segment, which generated $2.05 billion in revenue, while the Werner Logistics segment saw a 3.1% increase to $856.9 million. The TTS segment's performance was impacted by a reduction in the average number of tractors in service and a slight decrease in average revenues per tractor per week. The company also faced restructuring costs of $44.2 million related to a strategic overhaul of its One-Way Truckload business, aimed at enhancing long-term profitability by exiting unprofitable freight operations.
Operationally, Werner's fleet consisted of 7,100 trucks at the end of 2025, a decrease from 7,450 trucks in 2024. The company employed 8,677 drivers and 1,465 office associates, with a focus on improving driver retention and recruitment amid industry-wide shortages. The company’s largest customer, Dollar General, accounted for 11% of total revenues, highlighting the concentration risk in its customer base. Werner's logistics operations also expanded, with a notable increase in intermodal revenues, which rose by 16% due to higher shipment volumes.
Looking ahead, Werner Enterprises anticipates a potential increase in its TTS segment fleet size by 23% to 28% in 2026, bolstered by the recent acquisition of FirstFleet, a dedicated truckload carrier, for $245 million. This acquisition is expected to enhance Werner's operational scale and efficiency. The company plans to continue its quarterly dividend payments, reflecting confidence in its long-term financial stability despite the recent downturn. However, the outlook remains cautious due to ongoing challenges in the freight market and potential impacts from regulatory changes affecting driver availability and operational costs.
