We delivered further improvements across several key metrics including gross margins and cash flow from operations, extended agreements with several multinational enterprises, successfully launched Fleet Rocket, and introduced our advanced AI-powered Tendering Bot. Despite initial headwinds from a challenging and uncertain macroeconomic trade environment, we were able to progress the profitability of the brokerage business and advance our solution set.

Financial Highlights Gross margin percentage increased 7.0% year-over-year to 12.4% in Q1 2025 from 5.4% in Q1 2024, as the Company remained focused on profitable routes in the cross-border and domestic spot markets and realized efficiencies in its dedicated services.Cash flow from operations improved by $0.2 million year-over-year to ($3.1) million in Q1 2025 from ($3.3) million in Q1 2024 primarily due to improved margins.Net loss improved year-over-year by $0.7 million to ($1.6) million in Q1 2025 from ($2.3) million in Q1 2024, on higher gross margins percentage and lower operating expenses. 2025 Annual Outlook Primarily as a result of the expected economic impact of higher tariffs on US-Mexico cross border trade, the Company is lowering the high-end of its revenue and margin outlook for 2025. The Company believes it can recover most, if not all, cross-border volume with domestic shipments across Fr8App and Fr8Fleet, but remains cautious given the current uncertainty surrounding official trade policy between the two countries.
