Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization

RXO, Inc. (“RXO”, the “Company” or “we”) is a brokered transportation platform defined by cutting-edge technology and an asset-light business model. The largest component is our core truck brokerage business. Our operations also include asset-light managed transportation and last mile services, which complement our truck brokerage business. We present our operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements as one reportable segment.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the 2023 Form 10-K.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RXO, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of September 30, 2024, except for the additional critical accounting policy below.

Business Combinations

We apply the acquisition method of accounting with respect to the identifiable assets and liabilities of a business combination and record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquired business and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Estimates of fair value represent management’s best estimate of assumptions and about future events and uncertainties, including significant judgments related to future cash flows, discount rates, competitive trends, margin and revenue growth assumptions, including customer attrition rates, market comparables and others. Inputs used are generally obtained from historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and growth rates. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents

Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of identifiable intangible assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. The fair value estimates are based on historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management, but which are inherently uncertain. See Note 3—Acquisition to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further information regarding the fair value determination of each of the classes of identifiable intangible assets. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment. The useful lives of identifiable intangibles with determinable useful lives are based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the competitive environment, historical customer attrition rates, market share, operating plans and the macroeconomic environment. The costs of determinable-lived intangible assets are amortized to expense over the estimated useful life.

Lease liabilities, included in Short-term operating lease liabilities and Long-term operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the acquisition date, are measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term and the incremental borrowing rate of RXO as if the acquired leases were new leases as of the acquisition date. Right-of-use assets, included in Operating lease assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the acquisition date, are equal to the amount of the lease liability at the acquisition date adjusted for any off-market terms of the lease. The remaining lease term is based on the remaining term at the acquisition date plus any renewal or extension options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Effective

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure requirements of the ASU are required for entities with a single reportable segment. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods for our fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of the new guidance, which we expect to be disclosure only, with no impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations, and consolidated statement of cash flows.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure.” The ASU seeks to enhance income tax information primarily through changes in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In March 2024, the SEC issued the final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of the final rules as a result of pending judicial review. These rules, if adopted, will require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and other climate-related topics, in registration statements and annual reports, when material. Disclosure requirements, absent the results of pending judicial review, will begin phasing in with the Company’s annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact the rules will have on our disclosures.

3. Acquisition

On September 16, 2024 (the “acquisition date”), the Company acquired the technology-driven, asset-light based truckload freight brokerage services business, as well as certain assets used to conduct haulage, dedicated transport and warehousing services in the United Kingdom (collectively, “Coyote”) from United Parcel Service of America, Inc. (“UPS”) and certain subsidiaries of UPS (the “Transaction”). We acquired Coyote for $1.038 billion in cash, subject to certain additional customary adjustments. We believe the acquisition of Coyote enhances our competitive position with greater scale, a broader array of service offerings and strengths in a more diverse set of end markets.

The Transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 include the financial results of Coyote from the acquisition date.

The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $21 million and $26 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which are included in Transaction and integration costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of consideration to Coyote’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company at the acquisition date.


(In millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	19
Accounts receivable	398
Other current assets	35
Property and equipment	60
Intangible assets	509
Operating lease assets	89
Other long-term assets	16
Total assets	$	1,126

Accounts payable	$	(208)
Accrued expenses	(50)
Short-term operating lease liabilities	(18)

Deferred tax liabilities	(115)
Long-term operating lease liabilities	(71)
Other long-term liabilities	(23)
Total liabilities	$	(485)

Net assets acquired	$	641
Purchase price	$	1,038
Goodwill recorded	$	397

The purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, and, as such, the excess was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill will not be amortized but instead will be reviewed for impairment at least annually, absent any indicators of impairment. Goodwill is attributable to synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of the Company and Coyote and the assembled workforce. Goodwill recognized in the Transaction is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Table of Contents

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained and reviewed. The final allocation of the purchase price may differ from the preliminary allocation based on completion of the valuation. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation within the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocated to the identifiable intangible assets acquired:


(In millions)	Fair Value		Weighted Average Useful Life (Years)
Customer relationships	$	494	15
Trademarks	15		4
Total	$	509	15

Coyote’s results of operations are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date. The revenue and pre-tax loss included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the Coyote acquisition subsequent to the acquisition date was $105 million and $2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the Company’s results of operations as if the Coyote acquisition occurred on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma information includes adjustments for intangible assets acquired and elimination of historical intercompany transactions between RXO and Coyote. The pro forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes a non-recurring charge of $216 million related to the deemed non-pro rata distribution. The unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of our consolidated results of operations of the combined business had the acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2023 or of the results of our future operations of the combined business.

4. Revenue Recognition

Disaggregation of Revenues

We disaggregate our revenue by geographic area, service offering and industry sector. The majority of our revenue, based on sales office location, is generated in the U.S. Approximately 8% and 7% of our revenues were generated outside the U.S. (primarily in Canada, Mexico, Asia and Europe) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Approximately 8% and 7% of our revenues were generated outside the U.S. (primarily in Canada, Mexico, Asia and Europe) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Our revenue disaggregated by service offering is as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Truck brokerage	$	655	$	591	$	1,762	$	1,748
Last mile	268		256		765		757
Managed transportation	151		163		459		536
Eliminations	(34)		(34)		(103)		(92)
Total	$	1,040	$	976	$	2,883	$	2,949

Revenue of $105 million for the Coyote acquisition subsequent to the acquisition date is included in Truck brokerage.

Table of Contents

Our revenue disaggregated by industry sector is as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Retail/e-commerce	$	399	$	380	$	1,112	$	1,139

Other	151		136		418		463
Total	$	1,040	$	976	$	2,883	$	2,949

Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent firm contracts for which services have not been performed and future revenue recognition is expected. As permitted in determining the remaining performance obligation, we omit obligations that: (i) have original expected durations of one year or less or (ii) contain variable consideration. As of September 30, 2024, the fixed consideration component of our remaining performance obligations was approximately $39 million, and we expect approximately 100% of that amount to be recognized over the next 3 years. We estimate remaining performance obligations at a point in time and actual amounts may differ from these estimates due to contract revisions or terminations.

5. Restructuring Charges

We engage in restructuring actions as part of our ongoing efforts to best use our resources and infrastructure. These actions generally include severance and facility-related costs, including impairment of operating lease assets, and are intended to improve our efficiency and profitability going forward.

The following is a rollforward of the Company’s restructuring liability, which is included in Accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:


			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
(In millions)	Reserve Balance as of December 31, 2023		Acquisition		Charges Incurred		Payments		Reserve Balance as of September 30, 2024
Severance	$	4	$	1	$	10	$	(11)	$	4
Facilities	2		—		4		(4)		2
Contract termination	—		—		1		—		1
Total	$	6	$	1	$	15	$	(15)	$	7

We expect the majority of the cash outlays related to the remaining restructuring liability at September 30, 2024 to be complete within twelve months.

Acquired goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the underlying net assets acquired resulting from RXO’s acquisition of Coyote. There were no cumulative goodwill impairments as of September 30, 2024.

Our identifiable intangible assets consist of customer relationships and trade names, all of which are definite-lived. We did not recognize any impairment of our identified intangible assets in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following table summarizes the balance of our identifiable intangible assets:


(In millions)	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023

Table of Contents

Actual amounts of amortization expense may differ from estimated amounts due to changes in estimated fair value of intangibles acquired in the acquisition of Coyote during the one-year measurement period, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, additional intangible asset acquisitions, future impairment of intangible assets, accelerated amortization of intangible assets and other events.

Intangible asset amortization expense was $5 million and $11 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Intangible asset amortization expense was $4 million and $10 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On October 18, 2022, we entered into a five-year, $500 million unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), with $50 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. Loans under the Revolver bear interest at a fluctuating rate plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s credit ratings, with interest payable quarterly. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on any unused commitment, based on pricing levels set forth in the agreement.

On November 2, 2023, the Company exercised a feature to increase the total commitments under the Revolver from $500 million to $600 million.

The covenants in the Revolver are customary for financings of this type. The Revolver requires the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00:1.00. On August 8, 2024, the Company and lenders entered into an amendment, which, following the completion of the Coyote acquisition on September 16, 2024, increased the Company’s maximum consolidated leverage ratio to not greater than 4.50:1.00. At September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Revolver. There were no letters of credit outstanding on the Revolver at September 30, 2024.

In addition, the amendment extended, upon the completion date of the Coyote acquisition, the Revolver maturity date five years from the amendment date to September 16, 2029. To the extent there is more than $50 million of the Company’s Notes (as defined below) outstanding on the date that is 91 days prior to the earlier of the extended maturity date and the maturity date of the Notes, then the extended maturity date will be subject to a springing earlier maturity date that is 91 days prior to the earlier of the extended maturity date and the Notes maturity date, unless the Notes are refinanced or replaced with debt that matures at least 91 days after the extended maturity date.

We also have a non-U.S. revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of approximately $15 million. This facility has a one-year term and we had $13 million outstanding as of September 30, 2024 classified as short-term debt.

Notes

On October 25, 2022, we completed an offering of $355 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes (the “Notes” or the “7.50% Notes due 2027”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum payable semiannually in cash in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2023, and mature on November 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed, if applicable. The Notes were issued at an issue price of 98.962% of par. The effective interest rate on the Notes was 8.13% as of September 30, 2024.

We may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 15, 2024 at a redemption price equal to (i) 103.750% of the principal amount to be redeemed if the redemption occurs during the 12-month period beginning on November 15, 2024, (ii) 101.875% of the principal amount to be redeemed if the redemption occurs during the 12-month period beginning on November 15, 2025 and (iii) 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed if the redemption occurs on or after November 15, 2026, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time prior to November 15, 2024, we may also redeem up to 40% of the Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 107.500% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to November 15, 2024, we may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date plus an applicable “make-whole” premium.

The Notes are guaranteed by each of our direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries). The Notes and its guarantees are unsecured, senior indebtedness for us and our guarantors. The Notes contain covenants customary for debt securities of this nature. At September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Notes.

9. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The levels of inputs used to measure fair value are:

•Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

•Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and

•Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, generally utilizing pricing models or other valuation techniques that reflect management’s judgment and estimates.

Assets and Liabilities

The Company bases its fair value estimates on market assumptions and available information. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, due to their short-term nature and/or being receivable or payable on demand.

Debt

The fair value of our debt and classification in the fair value hierarchy is as follows:


(In millions)	Level	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Revolver	3	$	—	$	5

7.50% Notes due 2027	1	366		366

Table of Contents

We valued Level 1 debt using quoted prices in active markets. We valued Level 3 debt using unobservable inputs which reflect the Company’s best estimate of what hypothetical market participants would use to determine a transaction price for the asset or liability at the reporting date.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into purchase agreements with investors to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the investors in a private placement an aggregate of 20,954,780 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“common stock”), at a purchase price of $20.21 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 6,259,471 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $20.20 per warrant. The aggregate gross proceeds from the private placement were $550 million before deducting offering expenses. The Company incurred $6 million in equity issuance costs related to the private placement, which were recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Net proceeds from the private placement were used to finance a portion of the acquisition of Coyote on September 16, 2024.

In connection with the private placement, a deemed non-pro rata distribution of $216 million was recorded within Other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, based on the difference between the issuance price and the closing market price of common stock on August 12, 2024, the effective date of the private placement.

On September 9, 2024 the Company agreed to sell 19,230,770 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $26.00 per share. In connection with the offering, the Company granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 2,884,615 shares of common stock, which was exercised in full. The aggregate gross proceeds from the public offering, including the shares issued pursuant to the option granted to and exercised by the underwriters, were $575 million before deducting offering expenses. The Company incurred $24 million in equity issuance costs related to the public offering, which were recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Net proceeds from the public offering were used to finance a portion of the acquisition of Coyote on September 16, 2024.

On May 2, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $125 million of the Company’s common stock (the “2023 Share Repurchase Program”). During 2023, the Company repurchased 100,000 shares of its common stock for $2 million at an average price of $20.53 per share, funded by available cash. There were no share repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, $123 million remained approved to be used for share repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program. The 2023 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares or use a specific dollar amount of the approved and remaining $123 million.

11. Earnings per Share

The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in millions, shares in thousands, except per share data)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Net income (loss)	$	(243)	$	(1)	$	(265)	$	2

Basic weighted-average common shares (1)	134,095		116,970		123,004		116,823
Dilutive effect of stock-based awards	—		—		—		2,593
Diluted weighted-average common shares (1) (2)	134,095		116,970		123,004		119,415

Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	(1.81)	$	(0.01)	$	(2.15)	$	0.02
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	(1.81)	$	(0.01)	$	(2.15)	$	0.02

Antidilutive shares excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares	2,880		2,755		2,677		522

(1)Of the 6,259,471 pre-funded warrants issued in the private placement, warrants to purchase 2,558,753 shares of common stock do not require stockholder approval. Therefore, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares include 2,558,753 pre-funded warrants from their August 13, 2024 issuance date, as the exercise price of $0.01 per share is not substantive.

(2)Amounts may not be additive due to rounding.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous proceedings arising out of the conduct of our business. These proceedings may include claims for property damage or personal injury incurred in connection with the transportation of freight, environmental liability, commercial disputes, and employment-related claims, including claims involving asserted breaches of employee restrictive covenants. These matters also include several class action and collective action cases involving claims that the contract carriers with which we contract for performance of delivery services, or their delivery workers, should be treated as employees, rather than independent contractors (“misclassification claims”). Plaintiffs in such cases may seek substantial monetary damages (including claims for unpaid wages, overtime, unreimbursed business expenses, deductions from wages, penalties and other items), injunctive relief, or both.

We establish accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, we assess whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, we disclose the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or disclose that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on our assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter.

We believe that we have adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which we are presently a party will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Legal costs incurred related to these matters are expensed as incurred.

Table of Contents

We carry liability and excess umbrella insurance policies that we deem sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting our operations as a transportation company. The liability and excess umbrella insurance policies generally do not cover the misclassification claims described in this note. In the event we are required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition could be negatively impacted.

Our last mile subsidiary is involved in several class action and collective action cases involving misclassification claims. The misclassification claims related solely to our last mile business, which operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of XPO until the spin-off of RXO was completed.

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement between XPO and RXO, the liabilities of XPO’s last mile subsidiary, including legal liabilities, if any, related to the misclassification claims, were spun-off as part of RXO as of November 1, 2022. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, RXO has agreed to indemnify XPO for certain matters relating to RXO, including indemnifying XPO from and against any liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses incurred by XPO arising out of or resulting from the misclassification claims.

In one of the misclassification claims, Muniz v. RXO Last Mile, Inc., we recently reached an agreement to settle the matter for an immaterial amount without admitting any liability. We have accrued the full amount of the settlement.

We continue to believe the other misclassification claims are without merit and we intend to defend the Company vigorously in these matters. We do not believe that the incurrence of a loss is probable at this time and, accordingly, we have not accrued for any losses in these matters. Further, the plaintiffs have not quantified damages sought in the other misclassification claims and we are unable at this time to determine the amount of the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that we may incur as a result of the other misclassification claims.

Business Overview

Our truck brokerage business has a history of generating robust free cash flow conversion and a high return on invested capital. Shippers create demand for our service, and we place their freight with qualified independent carriers using our technology. We price our service on either a contract or a spot basis.

Notable factors driving volume growth in our business include our ability to access massive truckload capacity for shippers through our carrier relationships; our proprietary, cutting-edge technology; our strong management expertise; and favorable long-term industry tailwinds. As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately 150 thousand carriers in our North American truck brokerage network, and access to approximately 1.8 million trucks.

We provide our customers with highly efficient access to capacity through our digital brokerage technology. This proprietary platform is a major differentiator for our truck brokerage business, and together with our pricing technology, we believe it can unlock incremental profitable growth well beyond our current levels. Our complementary services for managed transportation and last mile also utilize our digital brokerage technology.

Table of Contents

Our managed transportation service provides asset-light solutions for shippers who outsource their freight transportation to gain reliability, visibility and cost savings. The service uses proprietary technology to enhance our revenue synergy, with cross-selling to truck brokerage and last mile. Our managed transportation offering includes bespoke load planning and procurement, complex solutions tailored to specific challenges, performance monitoring, engineering and data analytics, among other services. Our control tower solution leverages the expertise of a dedicated team focused on continuous improvement, and digital, door-to-door visibility into order status and freight in transit. In addition, we offer technology-enabled managed expedite services that automate transportation procurement for time-critical freight moved by road and air charter carriers. We also offer freight forwarding services, including facilitation of ocean and air transportation, customs brokerage and additional domestic services.

Our last mile offering is an asset-light service that facilitates consumer deliveries performed by highly qualified third-party contractors. We are the largest provider of outsourced last mile transportation for heavy goods in the U.S., positioned within 125 miles of the vast majority of the U.S. population and serving a customer base of omnichannel and e-commerce retailers and direct-to-consumer manufacturers.

Acquisition

On September 16, 2024 (the “acquisition date”), the Company acquired the technology-driven, asset-light based truckload freight brokerage services business, as well as certain assets used to conduct haulage, dedicated transport and warehousing services in the United Kingdom (collectively, “Coyote”) from United Parcel Service of America, Inc. (“UPS”) and certain subsidiaries of UPS. We acquired Coyote for $1.038 billion in cash, subject to certain additional customary adjustments. Refer to Note 3—Acquisition to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for disclosures regarding the Company’s acquisition of Coyote.

Impact of Inflation

Economic inflation can have a negative impact on our operating costs, and any economic recession could depress activity levels and adversely affect our results of operations. A prolonged period of inflation could cause interest rates, fuel, wages and other costs to continue to increase, which would adversely affect our results of operations unless our pricing to our customers correspondingly increases. Generally, inflationary increases in labor and operating costs related to our operations have historically been offset through price increases. However, the pricing environment generally becomes more competitive during economic downturns, which may, as it has in the past, affect our ability to obtain price increases from customers both during and following such periods.

Basis of Presentation

Cost of transportation and services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) primarily includes the cost of providing or procuring freight transportation for RXO customers.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

Revenue increased by 6.6% to $1,040 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared with $976 million for the same quarter in 2023. The year-over-year increase in revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was driven primarily by a $105 million increase in revenue as a result of the Coyote acquisition in our truck brokerage business. This was partially offset by a $41 million decrease in legacy RXO truck brokerage revenue, driven primarily by a 5% decrease in load volume, as well as a 3% decrease in revenue per load, which was impacted by a combination of fuel prices, freight mix and transportation market rates.

Cost of transportation and services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the third quarter of 2024 was $809 million, or 77.8% of revenue, compared with $742 million, or 76.0% of revenue in the same quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase as a percentage of revenue during the third quarter of 2024 was driven primarily by a 1.3 percentage point increase in truck brokerage cost of transportation and services as a percentage of revenue, as lower freight rates were not fully offset by corresponding reductions in cost of purchased transportation during the quarter.

Direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) of $49 million in the third quarter of 2024 decreased $10 million, or 16.9%, from $59 million in the same quarter of 2023. As a percentage of revenue, direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased to 4.7% in the third quarter of 2024 compared with 6.0% in the same quarter of 2023 due to cost reduction initiatives.

Table of Contents

SG&A of $149 million in the third quarter of 2024 increased $1 million, or 0.7%, from $148 million in the third quarter of 2023. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A decreased to 14.3% in the third quarter of 2024 compared with 15.2% for the same quarter of 2023 due to a 0.6 percentage point decrease in compensation-related expenses as a result of cost savings from restructuring actions executed in 2023 and the first nine months of 2024.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $21 million, compared with $16 million for the same quarter in 2023. Depreciation and amortization expense for the third quarter of 2024 included $3 million as a result of the Coyote acquisition.

Transaction and integration costs for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 were $30 million and $2 million, respectively. Transaction and integration costs for the third quarter of 2024 included $29 million as a result of the Coyote acquisition.

Restructuring costs for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 were $2 million and $3 million, respectively, and primarily comprised severance costs.

Other expense for the third quarter of 2024 includes a one-time charge of $216 million representing a deemed non-pro rata distribution in connection with the private placement common stock issuance completed in August 2024.

Our effective income tax rates were (0.4)% and 50.5% for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was calculated using the discrete method. Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 differs from the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of large non-deductible tax items associated with the Coyote acquisition and related common stock issuances. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 was based on forecasted full-year effective tax rates, adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the period presented. Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 differs from the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes within the U.S and a discrete tax benefit associated with return to provision true-up.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Revenue decreased by 2.2% to $2.88 billion in the first nine months of 2024, compared with $2.95 billion for the same period in 2023. The year-over-year decrease in revenue in the first nine months of 2024 was driven primarily by (i) a $91 million decrease in legacy RXO truck brokerage revenue, driven primarily by an 8% decrease in revenue per load, which was impacted by a combination of transportation market rates, freight mix and fuel prices, partially offset by a 3% increase in load volume and (ii) a $77 million decrease in revenue in our managed transportation business, driven primarily by a decrease in ocean and expedite air rates and volume. This was partially offset by a $105 million increase in revenue as a result of the Coyote acquisition in our truck brokerage business.

Cost of transportation and services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the first nine months of 2024 was $2.21 billion, or 76.6% of revenue, compared with $2.22 billion, or 75.4% of revenue, for the same period in 2023. The year-over-year increase as a percentage of revenue in the first nine months of 2024 was driven primarily by a 1.4 percentage point increase in truck brokerage cost of transportation and services as a percentage of revenue, as lower freight rates were not fully offset by corresponding reductions in cost of purchased transportation.

Direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) of $152 million in the first nine months of 2024 decreased $27 million, or 15.1%, from $179 million in the same period in 2023. As a percentage of revenue, direct operating expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased to 5.3% in the first nine months of 2024 compared with 6.1% in the same quarter of 2023 due to cost reduction initiatives.

SG&A of $448 million in the first nine months of 2024 increased $3 million, or 0.7%, from $445 million in the first nine months of 2023. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased to 15.5% in the first nine months of 2024 compared with 15.1% for the same period of 2023 due to a 0.5 percentage point increase in professional and consulting expense. This was partially offset by cost savings from restructuring actions executed in the first nine months of 2024.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the first nine months of 2024 was $54 million, compared with $52 million for the same period in 2023. Depreciation and amortization expense for the first nine months of 2024 included $3 million as a result of the Coyote acquisition.

Transaction and integration costs for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023 were $38 million and $12 million, respectively. Transaction and integration costs for the first nine months of 2024 included $35 million as a result of the Coyote acquisition. Transaction and integration costs for the first nine months of 2023 primarily comprised spin-off related costs.

Restructuring costs for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023 were $15 million and $12 million, respectively, and primarily comprised severance costs.

Other expense for the first nine months of 2024 includes a one-time charge of $216 million representing a deemed non-pro rata distribution in connection with the private placement common stock issuance completed in August 2024.

Our effective income tax rates were 2.2% and (574.3)% for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 was calculated using the discrete method. Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 differs from the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of large non-deductible tax items associated with the Coyote acquisition and related common stock issuances. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2023 was based on forecasted full-year effective tax rates, adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented. Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2023 differs from the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21% primarily due to a discrete tax benefit of $2 million from changes in reserves for uncertain tax positions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our ability to fund our operations and anticipated capital needs is reliant upon the generation of cash from operations, supplemented as necessary by utilization of our revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”). Our principal uses of cash in the future will be primarily to fund our operations, working capital needs, capital expenditures, repayment of borrowings, strategic business development transactions and share repurchases. The timing and magnitude of our growth and working capital needs can vary and may positively or negatively impact our cash flows.

We continually evaluate our liquidity requirements and capital structure in light of our operating needs, growth initiatives and capital resources. We believe that our existing liquidity and sources of capital are sufficient to support our operations over the next 12 months.

Capital Expenditures

Our 2024 capital expenditures include capital allocations associated with strategic investments in technology, equipment and real estate. We believe that we have significant discretion over the amount and timing of our capital expenditures as we are not subject to any agreement that would require significant capital expenditures on a designated schedule or upon the occurrence of designated events.

Debt and Financing Arrangements

We were in compliance with all covenants and other provisions of our outstanding debt and financing arrangements as of September 30, 2024. Any failure to comply with any material provision or covenant of these agreements could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and operations. Refer to Note 8 —Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for disclosures regarding the Company’s debt and financing arrangements as of September 30, 2024.

In the third quarter of 2024, the Revolver was amended to increase the Company’s maximum consolidated leverage ratio to not greater than 4.50:1.00. This amendment also extended the Revolver maturity date to September 16, 2029, subject to a springing earlier maturity date based on outstanding borrowings under the Company’s existing notes. Refer to Note 8—Debt for additional information regarding this amendment.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company completed both a private placement and public offering of its common stock. Total proceeds from these offerings, net of related issuance costs, of approximately $1.1 billion were used to fund the acquisition of Coyote on September 16, 2024. Refer to Note 10 —Stockholders ’ Equity for additional information related to the equity issuances.

Financial Condition

Our asset and liability balances are summarized as follows:


	September 30,		December 31,
(In millions)	2024		2023		$ Change		% Change

Total assets and liabilities increased from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024, primarily due to the acquisition of Coyote. Refer to Note 3 —Acquisition for additional information related to assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2024 decreased by $75 million compared with the same period in 2023. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities due primarily to the decrease in net income between periods.

Investing activities used $1,052 million of cash for the first nine months of 2024, compared with using $47 million of cash for the same period in 2023. The primary uses of cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were (i) $1,019 million for the acquisition of Coyote and (ii) $33 million to purchase property and equipment. The primary use of cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $46 million to purchase property and equipment.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024, such that the information required to be included in our SEC reports is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to RXO, including our consolidated subsidiaries; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as described below, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the 2023 Form 10-K. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RXO, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. Significant Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as of September 30, 2024, except for the additional critical accounting policy below. Business Combinations We apply the acquisition method of accounting with respect to the identifiable assets and liabilities of a business combination and record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquired business and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Estimates of fair value represent management’s best estimate of assumptions and about future events and uncertainties, including significant judgments related to future cash flows, discount rates, competitive trends, margin and revenue growth assumptions, including customer attrition rates, market comparables and others. Inputs used are generally obtained from historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and growth rates. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of identifiable intangible assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. The fair value estimates are based on historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management, but which are inherently uncertain. See Note 3—Acquisition to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further information regarding the fair value determination of each of the classes of identifiable intangible assets. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment. The useful lives of identifiable intangibles with determinable useful lives are based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the competitive environment, historical customer attrition rates, market share, operating plans and the macroeconomic environment. The costs of determinable-lived intangible assets are amortized to expense over the estimated useful life. Lease liabilities, included in Short-term operating lease liabilities and Long-term operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the acquisition date, are measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term and the incremental borrowing rate of RXO as if the acquired leases were new leases as of the acquisition date. Right-of-use assets, included in Operating lease assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the acquisition date, are equal to the amount of the lease liability at the acquisition date adjusted for any off-market terms of the lease. The remaining lease term is based on the remaining term at the acquisition date plus any renewal or extension options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Effective In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure requirements of the ASU are required for entities with a single reportable segment. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods for our fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of the new guidance, which we expect to be disclosure only, with no impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations, and consolidated statement of cash flows. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure.” The ASU seeks to enhance income tax information primarily through changes in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance. In March 2024, the SEC issued the final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of the final rules as a result of pending judicial review. These rules, if adopted, will require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and other climate-related topics, in registration statements and annual reports, when material. Disclosure requirements, absent the results of pending judicial review, will begin phasing in with the Company’s annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact the rules will have on our disclosures.

Commitments and Contingencies	Sep. 30, 2024
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies We are involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous proceedings arising out of the conduct of our business. These proceedings may include claims for property damage or personal injury incurred in connection with the transportation of freight, environmental liability, commercial disputes, and employment-related claims, including claims involving asserted breaches of employee restrictive covenants. These matters also include several class action and collective action cases involving claims that the contract carriers with which we contract for performance of delivery services, or their delivery workers, should be treated as employees, rather than independent contractors (“misclassification claims”). Plaintiffs in such cases may seek substantial monetary damages (including claims for unpaid wages, overtime, unreimbursed business expenses, deductions from wages, penalties and other items), injunctive relief, or both. We establish accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, we assess whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, we disclose the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or disclose that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on our assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. We believe that we have adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which we are presently a party will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Legal costs incurred related to these matters are expensed as incurred. We carry liability and excess umbrella insurance policies that we deem sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting our operations as a transportation company. The liability and excess umbrella insurance policies generally do not cover the misclassification claims described in this note. In the event we are required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition could be negatively impacted. Our last mile subsidiary is involved in several class action and collective action cases involving misclassification claims. The misclassification claims related solely to our last mile business, which operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of XPO until the spin-off of RXO was completed. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement between XPO and RXO, the liabilities of XPO’s last mile subsidiary, including legal liabilities, if any, related to the misclassification claims, were spun-off as part of RXO as of November 1, 2022. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, RXO has agreed to indemnify XPO for certain matters relating to RXO, including indemnifying XPO from and against any liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses incurred by XPO arising out of or resulting from the misclassification claims. In one of the misclassification claims, Muniz v. RXO Last Mile, Inc., we recently reached an agreement to settle the matter for an immaterial amount without admitting any liability. We have accrued the full amount of the settlement. We continue to believe the other misclassification claims are without merit and we intend to defend the Company vigorously in these matters. We do not believe that the incurrence of a loss is probable at this time and, accordingly, we have not accrued for any losses in these matters. Further, the plaintiffs have not quantified damages sought in the other misclassification claims and we are unable at this time to determine the amount of the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that we may incur as a result of the other misclassification claims.

Stockholders' Equity	Sep. 30, 2024
Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	Stockholders’ Equity On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into purchase agreements with investors to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the investors in a private placement an aggregate of 20,954,780 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“common stock”), at a purchase price of $20.21 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 6,259,471 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $20.20 per warrant. The aggregate gross proceeds from the private placement were $550 million before deducting offering expenses. The Company incurred $6 million in equity issuance costs related to the private placement, which were recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Net proceeds from the private placement were used to finance a portion of the acquisition of Coyote on September 16, 2024. In connection with the private placement, a deemed non-pro rata distribution of $216 million was recorded within Other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, based on the difference between the issuance price and the closing market price of common stock on August 12, 2024, the effective date of the private placement. On September 9, 2024 the Company agreed to sell 19,230,770 shares of the Company’s common stock at a public offering price of $26.00 per share. In connection with the offering, the Company granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 2,884,615 shares of common stock, which was exercised in full. The aggregate gross proceeds from the public offering, including the shares issued pursuant to the option granted to and exercised by the underwriters, were $575 million before deducting offering expenses. The Company incurred $24 million in equity issuance costs related to the public offering, which were recorded as a reduction to Additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Net proceeds from the public offering were used to finance a portion of the acquisition of Coyote on September 16, 2024. On May 2, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $125 million of the Company’s common stock (the “2023 Share Repurchase Program”). During 2023, the Company repurchased 100,000 shares of its common stock for $2 million at an average price of $20.53 per share, funded by available cash. There were no share repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, $123 million remained approved to be used for share repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program. The 2023 Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. We are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares or use a specific dollar amount of the approved and remaining $123 million.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the 2023 Form 10-K. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RXO, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In management’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Business Combinations	Business Combinations We apply the acquisition method of accounting with respect to the identifiable assets and liabilities of a business combination and record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquired business and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Estimates of fair value represent management’s best estimate of assumptions and about future events and uncertainties, including significant judgments related to future cash flows, discount rates, competitive trends, margin and revenue growth assumptions, including customer attrition rates, market comparables and others. Inputs used are generally obtained from historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and growth rates. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of identifiable intangible assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. The fair value estimates are based on historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management, but which are inherently uncertain. See Note 3—Acquisition to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further information regarding the fair value determination of each of the classes of identifiable intangible assets. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment. The useful lives of identifiable intangibles with determinable useful lives are based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the competitive environment, historical customer attrition rates, market share, operating plans and the macroeconomic environment. The costs of determinable-lived intangible assets are amortized to expense over the estimated useful life. Lease liabilities, included in Short-term operating lease liabilities and Long-term operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the acquisition date, are measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term and the incremental borrowing rate of RXO as if the acquired leases were new leases as of the acquisition date. Right-of-use assets, included in Operating lease assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the acquisition date, are equal to the amount of the lease liability at the acquisition date adjusted for any off-market terms of the lease. The remaining lease term is based on the remaining term at the acquisition date plus any renewal or extension options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Effective	Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Effective In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure requirements of the ASU are required for entities with a single reportable segment. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods for our fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of the new guidance, which we expect to be disclosure only, with no impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations, and consolidated statement of cash flows. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure.” The ASU seeks to enhance income tax information primarily through changes in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance. In March 2024, the SEC issued the final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of the final rules as a result of pending judicial review. These rules, if adopted, will require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and other climate-related topics, in registration statements and annual reports, when material. Disclosure requirements, absent the results of pending judicial review, will begin phasing in with the Company’s annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact the rules will have on our disclosures.
