The decrease was primarily due to reduced volumes driven by weaker end market demand. Operating income of $170.2 million compared to $206.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decline in revenues, partially offset a reduction to the other operating expenses. Net income of $98.2 million compared to $115.7 million in the prior year period, and net income of $1.17 per diluted share compared to $1.36 in the prior year period. Adjusted net income, a non-IFRS measure, was $112.0 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, compared to $145.6 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Total revenue decreased by 13% for Less-Than-Truckload, 6% for Truckload and 12% for the Logistics segment compared to Q2 2024. Operating income decreased by 33% for Less-Than-Truckload, 13% for Truckload and 25% for the Logistics segment. SIX-MONTH RESULTSTotal revenue of $4.00 billion decreased from $4.14 billion in the prior year period and revenue before fuel surcharge of $3.51 billion decreased from $3.57 billion in the prior year period. The decrease is due to a continued weak transportation environment and a reduction in fuel surcharge revenue offset partially by contributions from acquisitions. Operating income of $284.8 million decreased from $357.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease is from lower volumes, partially offset by business acquisitions of $8.8 million and a prior-year $19.7 million restructuring charge related to the acquisition of Daseke recorded in the Corporate segment. Net income of $154.2 million compared to $208.5 million in the prior year period, and net income of $1.83 per diluted share compared to $2.45 in the prior year period. The net income in 2024 included a $19.7 million restructuring charge. Adjusted net income, a non-IFRS measure, was $176.3 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, compared to $251.1 million, or $2.95 per diluted share, the prior year period. Total revenue increased relative to the prior year period by 18% for Truckload, primarily from the acquisition of Daseke, and decreased for the Less-Than-Truckload and Logistics segments by 13% each. Operating income decreased 38% for Less-Than-Truckload, 3% for Truckload, and 24% for Logistics in the first half compared to the prior year period.

The decrease was a result of lower contributions from net income and an increase in cash requirements from provisions and employee benefits, offset partially by an increase from working capital. Net cash from investing activities increased by $801.3 million, primarily due to less spending on business combinations as Daseke was acquired in the second quarter of 2024, and less capital expenditures. Net cash from financing activities increased by $91.1 million, primarily as a result of a CAD $300 million loan obtained at the end of Q2 2025, offset by the repayment of long term debt of $69.0 million and an increase in funds required for the repurchase of shares of $50.7 million. The Company returned $123.7 million to shareholders during the quarter, of which $38.8 million was through dividends and $84.9 million was through share repurchases. On June 16, 2025, the Board of Directors of TFI International declared a quarterly dividend of $0.45 per outstanding common share, paid on July 15, 2025, representing a 13% increase over the $0.40 quarterly dividend declared in Q2 2024.

The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements which reference issues only as of the date made. The following important factors could cause the Company’s actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statement: the highly competitive market conditions, the Company’s ability to recruit, train and retain qualified drivers, fuel price variations and the Company’s ability to recover these costs from its customers, foreign currency fluctuations, the impact of environmental standards and regulations, imposing of tariffs or changes to the rates of tariffs and their impact on the market, changes in governmental regulations applicable to the Company’s operations, adverse weather conditions, accidents, the market for used equipment, changes in interest rates, cost of liability insurance coverage, downturns in general economic conditions affecting the Company and its customers, credit market liquidity, and the Company’s ability to identify, negotiate, consummate, and successfully integrate acquisitions. In addition, any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that are identified, and the cost of remediation of any such material weakness and any other control deficiencies, may have adverse effects on the Company and impact future results.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURESThis press release includes references to certain non-IFRS financial measures as described below. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation, in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The terms and definitions of the non-IFRS measures used in this press release and a reconciliation of each non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure are provided in the exhibits. Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before finance income and costs, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, impairment of intangible assets, bargain purchase gain, restructuring from business acquisitions, and gain or loss on sale of land and buildings, assets held for sale, sale of business, and gain or loss on disposal of intangible assets. Management believes adjusted EBITDA to be a useful supplemental measure. Adjusted EBITDA is provided to enhance the comparability of the measure and to assist the Company to assess its performance.

Adjusted earnings per share, basic or diluted, is calculated as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares, basic or diluted. The Company uses adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share to measure its performance from one period to the next, without the variation caused by the impact of the items described above. The Company excludes these items because they affect the comparability of its financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in its business performance. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily non-recurring.
