Disclaimers

Non GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains certain non GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules, including adjusted operating income for the less than truckload business unit for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015; and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. As required by SEC rules, we provide reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable measure under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which are set forth in the appendix to this document. We believe that adjusted operating income improves comparability from period to period by removing the impact of nonrecurring expense items such as one time transaction related costs. We believe that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA improve comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization) tax consequences, and the following nonrecurring expense items: one time transaction related costs net of noncontrolling interests, unrealized foreign exchange cost, and a benefit to depreciation and amortization related to the updated purchase price allocation of acquired assets. In addition to its use by management, we believe that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are measures widely used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the financial performance of companies in our industry. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently, and therefore our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operating activities and other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Items excluded from EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are significant and necessary components of the operations of our business, and, therefore, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA should only be used as a supplemental measure of our operating performance.

Forward looking Statements

This document includes forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the expected maturity of the company’s debt, the expected ability to integrate operations, cross sell services, realize cost savings, synergies and profit improvement opportunities, and our 2016 and 2018 financial targets. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward looking statements. In some cases, forward looking statements can be identified by the use of forward looking terms such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward looking. These forward looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.

These forward looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to a material difference include those discussed in XPO’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the following: economic conditions generally; competition and pricing pressures; our ability to align our investments in capital assets, including equipment, service centers and warehouses, to our customers’ demands; our ability to successfully manage our growth, including by maintaining effective internal controls; our ability to successfully integrate and realize anticipated synergies, cost savings and profit improvement opportunities with respect to acquired companies; our ability to retain our and our acquired businesses’ largest customers; our ability to develop and implement suitable information technology systems; our substantial indebtedness; our ability to raise debt and equity capital; our ability to attract and retain key employees to execute our strategy, including retention of acquired companies’ key employees; our ability to maintain positive relationships with our network of third party transportation providers; our ability to attract and retain qualified drivers; litigation, including litigation related to alleged misclassification of independent contractors; labor matters; risks associated with our self insured claims; risks associated with defined benefit plans for our current and former employees; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; fluctuations in fixed and floating interest rates; our ability to execute our growth strategy through acquisitions; fuel price and fuel surcharge changes; weather and other service disruptions; and governmental regulation. All forward looking statements set forth in this document are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, XPO or its businesses or operations. Forward looking statements set forth in this document speak only as of the date hereof, and XPO undertakes no obligation to update forward looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, changes in expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by law.

XPO Business Glossary

Contract Logistics: An asset light, technology enabled business characterized by long term contractual relationships with high renewal rates, low cyclicality and a high value add component that minimizes commoditization. Contracts are typically structured as either fixed variable, cost plus or gain share. XPO services include highly engineered solutions, e fulfillment, reverse logistics, packaging, factory support, aftermarket support, warehousing and distribution for customers in aerospace, manufacturing, retail, life sciences, chemicals, food and beverage, and cold chain.

Expedite: A non asset business that facilitates time critical, high value or high security shipments, usually on very short notice. Revenue is either contractual or transactional, primarily driven by unforeseen supply chain disruptions or just in time inventory demand for raw materials, parts or goods. XPO provides three types of expedite service: ground transportation via a network of independent contract carriers; air charter transportation facilitated by proprietary, web based technology that solicits bids and assigns loads to aircraft; and a managed transportation network that is the largest web based expedite management technology in North America.

Freight Brokerage: A variable cost business that facilitates the trucking of freight by procuring carriers through the use of proprietary technology. Freight brokerage net revenue is the spread between the price to the shipper and the cost of purchased transportation. In North America, XPO has a non asset freight brokerage business, with a network of 32,000 independent carriers. In Europe, XPO generates over €1 billion in freight brokerage revenue annually, with capacity provided by an asset light mix of owned fleet and independent carriers.

Global Forwarding: A non asset business that facilitates freight shipments by ground, air and ocean. Shipments may have origins and destinations within North America, to or from North America, or between foreign locations. Services are provided through a network of market experts who provide local oversight in thousands of key trade areas worldwide. XPO’s global forwarding service can arrange shipments with no restrictions as to size, weight or mode, and is OTI and NVOCC licensed.

XPO Business Glossary (Cont’d)

Intermodal: An asset light business that facilitates the movement of long haul, containerized freight by rail, often with a drayage (trucking) component at either end. Intermodal is a variable cost business, with revenue generated by a mix of contractual and spot market transactions. Net revenue equates to the spread between the price to the shipper and the cost of purchasing rail and truck transportation. Two factors are driving growth in intermodal in North America: rail transportation is less expensive and more fuel efficient per mile than long haul trucking, and rail is a key mode of transportation in and out of Mexico, where the manufacturing base is booming due to a trend toward near shoring.

Last Mile: A non asset business that facilitates the delivery of goods to their final destination, most often to consumer households. XPO specializes in two areas of last mile service: arranging the delivery and installation of heavy goods such as appliances, furniture and electronics, often with a white glove component; and providing logistics solutions to retailers and distributors to support their e commerce supply chains and omni channel distribution strategies. Capacity is sourced from a network of independent contract carriers and technicians.

Less Than Truckload (LTL): The transportation of a quantity of freight that is larger than a parcel, but too small to require an entire truck, and is often shipped on a pallet. LTL shipments are priced according to the weight of the freight, its commodity class (which is generally determined by its cube/weight ratio and the description of the product), and mileage within designated lanes. An LTL carrier typically operates a hub and spoke network that allows for the consolidation of multiple shipments for different customers in single trucks.

Managed Transportation: A service provided to shippers who want to outsource some or all of their transportation modes, together with associated activities. This can include freight handling such as consolidation and deconsolidation, labor planning, inbound and outbound shipment facilitation, documentation and customs management, claims processing, and 3PL supplier management, among other things.

Truckload (TL) (FTL): The ground transportation of cargo provided by a single shipper in an amount that requires the full limit of a dry van trailer, either by dimension or weight. Cargo typically remains on a single vehicle from the point of origin to the destination, and is not handled en route. This can make truckload a cost effective option when transit time is key but not urgent. Shippers who utilize truckload generally pay a lower cost per item or pallet compared with other over the road options, and see less damage to goods. Also known as long haul trucking.
