**PAMT CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)**

**March 31, 2026**

**<u>NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION</u>**

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the information reported in this Quarterly Report on Form *10*-Q for PAMT CORP and its legally distinct subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated, is presented on a consolidated basis. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form *10*-Q to the "Company," "we," "our," or "us" mean PAMT CORP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form *10*-Q and Article *10* of Regulation S-*X.* Accordingly, they do *not* include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated balance sheet at *December 31, 2025* has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does *not* include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Operating results for the *three*-month period ended *March 31, 2026* are *not* necessarily indicative of the results that *may* be expected for the year ending *December 31, 2026.* For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form *10*-K for the year ended *December 31, 2025.*

**<u>NOTE B: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS</u>**

In *November 2024,* the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") *No. 2024*-*03* ("ASU *2024*-*03"*), *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*. ASU *2024*-*03* was issued to enhance the transparency of financial reporting by requiring public business entities to provide more detailed disclosures about certain operating expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after *December 15, 2026,* and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2027.* Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the new guidance and does *not* expect it to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company considered the applicability and impact of the above-referenced ASU and all other accounting standard updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and determined there are *not* any ASUs that have *not* already been adopted which require significant consideration for disclosure as of *March 31, 2026.*

**<u>NOTE C: REVENUE RECOGNITION</u>**

The Company has a single performance obligation to transport our customers' freight from a specified origin to a specified destination. The Company has the discretion to choose to self-transport or to arrange for alternate transportation to fulfill the performance obligation. Where the Company decides to self-transport the freight, the Company classifies the service as truckload services, and where the Company arranges for alternate transportation of the freight, the Company classifies the service as brokerage and logistics services. In either case, the Company is paid a rate to transport freight from its origin location to a specified destination. Because the primary factors influencing revenue recognition, including performance obligation, customer base, and timing of revenue recognition are the same for both of its service categories, the Company utilizes the same revenue recognition method throughout its operations.

Company revenue is generated from freight transportation services performed utilizing heavy truck trailer combinations. While various ownership arrangements *may* exist for the equipment utilized to perform these services, including Company-owned or leased, owner-operator owned, and *third*-party carriers, revenue is generated from the same base of customers. Contracts with these customers establish rates for services performed, which are predominantly rates that will be paid to pick up, transport and drop off freight at various locations. In addition to transportation, revenue is also awarded for various accessorial services performed in conjunction with the base transportation service. The Company also has other revenue categories that are *not* discussed in this note or broken out in our consolidated statements of operations due to their immaterial amounts.

In fulfilling the Company's obligation to transport freight from a specified origin to a specified destination, the control of freight is transferred to the Company at the point it has been loaded into the driver's trailer, the doors are sealed and the driver has signed a bill of lading, which is the basic transportation agreement that establishes the nature, quantity and condition of the freight loaded, responsibility for invoice payment, and pickup and delivery locations. The Company's revenue is generated, and our customer receives benefit, as the freight progresses towards delivery locations. In the event the Company's customer cancels the shipment at some point prior to the final delivery location and re-consigns the shipment to an alternate delivery location, the Company is entitled to receive payment for services performed for the partial shipment. Shipments are generally conducted over a relatively short time span, generally *one* to *three* days; however, freight is sometimes stored temporarily in our trailer at *one* of our drop yard locations or at a location designated by a customer. The Company's revenue is categorized as either Freight Revenue or Fuel Surcharge Revenue, and both are earned by performing the same freight transportation services, as discussed further below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *7*

------

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Freight Revenue – revenue generated by the performance of the freight transportation service, including any accessorial service, provided to customers.

Fuel Surcharge Revenue – revenue designed to adjust freight revenue rates to an agreed-upon base cost for diesel fuel. Diesel fuel prices can fluctuate widely during the term of a contract with a customer. At the point that freight revenue rates are negotiated with customers, a sliding scale is agreed upon that systematically adjusts diesel fuel costs to an agreed-upon base amount. In general, as fuel prices increase, revenue from fuel surcharge increases, so that diesel fuel cost is adjusted to the approximate agreed upon base amount.

Revenue is recognized over time as the freight progresses towards its destination and the transportation service obligation is fulfilled. For loads picked up during the reporting period, but delivered in a subsequent reporting period, revenue is allocated to each period based on the transit time in each period as a percentage of total transit time. The contract asset, or the amount of remaining performance obligation relating to loads in process, at *March 31, 2026* was $3.2 million compared to $2.4 million at *December 31, 2025.* Recorded contract assets are included in the accounts receivable line item of the balance sheet. Corresponding liabilities are recorded in the accrued expenses and other liabilities line items for the estimated expenses on these same in-process loads. The Company had no contract liabilities associated with our operations as of *March 31, 2026* and *December 31, 2025,* respectively. The Company's contracts with customers generally have original expected durations less than *one* year. Accordingly, the Company has elected the practical expedient and does *not* disclose information about remaining unsatisfied performance obligations.

The Company recognizes operating lease revenue from leasing tractors and related equipment to *third* parties, including independent contractors. Operating lease revenue from rental operations is recognized in revenue as it is earned. Upon lease termination, losses *may* be incurred in the recovery of leased equipment which are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

**<u>NOTE D: MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES</u>**

The Company's investments in marketable securities consist of equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method, and interest and dividends on securities are included in non-operating income (expense).

Marketable equity securities are carried at fair value, with gains and losses in fair market value included in the determination of net income. The fair value of marketable equity securities is determined based on quoted market prices in active markets, as described in Note J.

The following table sets forth market value, cost, and unrealized gains on equity securities as of *March 31, 2026* and *December 31, 2025.*

For the quarter ended *March 31, 2026,* the Company recognized dividends received of approximately $426,000 in non-operating income in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the quarter ended *March 31, 2025,* the Company recognized dividends received of approximately $443,000 in non-operating income in its condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company's equity securities are periodically used as collateral against any outstanding margin account borrowings. As of *March 31, 2026,* the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its margin account, which is *no* change from *December 31, 2025,* when the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the same account. Margin account borrowings, when utilized, are used for the purchase of marketable equity securities and as a source of short-term liquidity and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our marketable equity securities portfolio had a net unrealized pre-tax loss in market value of approximately $1,626,000 during the *first* quarter of *2026,* and a net unrealized pre-tax gain in market value of approximately $1,316,000 during the *first* quarter of *2025,* which were reported as non-operating income in its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the respective periods.

**<u>NOTE E: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION</u>**

The Company maintains a stock incentive plan under which incentive and nonqualified stock options and other stock awards *may* be granted. On *February 15, 2024,* the Company's Board of Directors adopted, and on *October 31, 2024,* our shareholders approved, the *2024* Equity Incentive Plan (the *"2024* Plan"). Under the *2024* Plan, 1,600,000 shares are reserved for the issuance of stock awards to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company. The stock option exercise price and the restricted stock purchase price under the *2024* Plan shall *not* be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date the award is granted. The fair market value is determined by the closing price of the Company's common stock, on its primary exchange, on the same date that the option or award is granted.

The Company did not grant any shares of common stock during the *first three* months of *2026.*

During the *first three* months of *2025,* the Company granted awards of restricted stock units representing 100,000 shares of common stock to certain key employees under the *2024* Plan. These stock awards had grant date fair values of $16.10 per share, based on the closing price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. 52,500 of the awarded share units vest on the *four*-year anniversary date of the award. The remaining 47,500 of the awarded share units vest on the *five*-year anniversary date of the award.

Prior to the *2024* Plan, the Company maintained the *2014* Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the *"2014* Plan"), which was adopted by the Company's Board of Directors in *March 2014* and approved by the Company's shareholders in *May 2014.* Under the *2014* Plan, 3,000,000 shares (as adjusted for the Company's 2-for-*1* forward splits of its common stock paid in *August 2021* and *March 2022,* respectively) were reserved for the issuance of stock awards to directors, officers, key employees, and others. The stock option exercise price and the restricted stock purchase price under the *2014* Plan were *not* to be less than 85% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date the award is granted. The fair market value was determined by the closing price of the Company's common stock, on its primary exchange, on the same date that the option or award was granted. The *2014* Plan expired on *March 13, 2024,* and *no* further grants *may* be made under this plan. All outstanding unvested awards granted under the *2014* Plan, however, remain subject to the terms and conditions of the *2014* Plan.

The total grant date fair value of stock vested during the *first three* months of *2026* was approximately $468,000. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense, recognized in salaries, wages and benefits during the *first three* months of *2026,* was approximately $98,000. The recognition of stock-based compensation expense did *not* materially affect basic or diluted earnings per common share (less than $0.01 per share) during the *first three* months of *2026.* As of *March 31, 2026,* the Company had stock-based compensation plans with total unvested stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1,391,000, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period. As a result, the Company expects to recognize approximately $361,000 in additional compensation expense related to unvested stock awards during the remainder of *2026* and to recognize approximately $454,000, $449,000, $122,000 and $5,000 in additional compensation expense related to unvested stock-based awards during the years *2027, 2028, 2029,* and *2030,* respectively.

The total grant date fair value of stock vested during the *first three* months of *2025* was approximately $354,000. The total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense, recognized in salaries, wages and benefits during the *first three* months of *2025,* was approximately $266,000. The recognition of stock-based compensation expense decreased both diluted and basic earnings per common share by approximately $0.01 during the *first three* months of *2025.* As of *March 31, 2025,* the Company had stock-based compensation plans with total unvested stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2,659,000, which was being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period.

**<u>NOTE F: SEGMENT INFORMATION</u>**

The Company follows the guidance provided by ASC Topic *280,* S*egment Reporting,* in its identification of operating segments. The Company has determined that it has a total of two operating segments whose primary operations can be characterized as either Truckload Services or Brokerage and Logistics Services; however, in accordance with the aggregation criteria provided by FASB ASC Topic *280,* the Company has determined that the operations of the *two* operating segments can be aggregated into a single reportable segment. Both our truckload operations and our brokerage/logistics operations have similar qualitative and quantitative economic characteristics and are impacted by virtually the same economic factors. Based on the Company's segment identification, interpretation of the aggregation criteria outlined in ASC *280*-*10*-*50*-*11,* and the similar qualitative and quantitative economic characteristics of the Company's operating segments, the operations of the Company are aggregated into a single motor carrier segment. The Company's chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, utilizes the metrics of net income and operating ratio to evaluate company performance and in competitive analysis when comparing to competing companies.

Truckload Services revenues and Brokerage and Logistics Services revenues, each before fuel surcharges, were as follows:

**<u>NOTE G: TREASURY STOCK</u>**

The Company's stock repurchase program has been extended and expanded several times, most recently in *July 2023,* when the Board of Directors reauthorized 500,000 shares of common stock for repurchase under the initial *September 2011* authorization. During the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026,* the Company repurchased 1,171 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $11,300 under this program. As of *March 31, 2026,* there remain 472,845 shares of common stock authorized for repurchase under this plan.

The Company accounts for treasury stock using the cost method. As of *March 31, 2026,* 1,452,757 shares were held in the treasury at an aggregate cost of approximately $28,935,000.

**<u>NOTE H: EARNINGS PER SHARE</u>**

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding by common stock equivalents attributable to dilutive restricted stock. The computation of diluted earnings per share does *not* assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Three Months Ended | Three Months Ended |
|  | March 31, | March 31, |
|  | 2026 | 2025 |

| Net loss | $(8) | $(8142) |
| Basic weighted average common shares outstanding | 20936 | 21787 |
| Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents |  |  |
| Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding | 20936 | 21787 |
| Basic loss per share | $(0.00) | $(0.37) |
| Diluted loss per share | $(0.00) | $(0.37) |

**<u>NOTE I: INCOME TAXES</u>**

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. and Canadian federal income tax laws as well as the income tax laws of multiple state jurisdictions. The major tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates generally provide for a deficiency assessment statute of limitations period of *three* years, and as a result, the Company's tax years *2022* and forward remain open to examination in those jurisdictions.

In determining whether a tax asset valuation allowance is necessary, management, in accordance with the provisions of ASC *740*-*10*-*30, Accounting for Income Taxes*, weighs all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is necessary. If negative conditions exist which indicate a valuation allowance might be necessary, consideration is then given to what effect the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and the availability of tax strategies might have on future taxable income to determine the amount, if any, of the required valuation allowance. As of *March 31, 2026,* management determined that the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and available tax strategies would generate sufficient future taxable income to realize its tax assets and therefore a valuation allowance was *not* necessary.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than *not* that the position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. As of *March 31, 2026,* an adjustment to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for uncertain tax positions has *not* been required as management believes that the Company's tax positions taken in income tax returns filed or to be filed are supported by clear and unambiguous income tax laws. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. During the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026* and *2025,* the Company has not recognized or accrued any interest or penalties related to uncertain income tax positions.

The Company's effective income tax rates were 23.3% and 24.2% for the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026* and *2025,* respectively. Our effective tax rate for the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026* differs from amounts computed by applying the United States federal statutory rates to pre-tax income primarily due to state income taxes. The Company's income tax provision for interim periods is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. There were *no* material discrete tax items recorded during the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026.*

**<u>NOTE J: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS</u>**

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable equity securities, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and borrowings.

The Company follows the guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. This guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date and also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes *three* levels of inputs that *may* be used to measure fair value:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level *1:* | Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level *2:* | Inputs other than Level *1* inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are *not* active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable; or other inputs *not* directly observable, but derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. |
| Level *3:* | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or *no* market activity. |

---

The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

At *March 31, 2026,* the following items are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|  | (in thousands) | (in thousands) | (in thousands) | (in thousands) |
| Marketable equity securities | $40756 | $40756 |  |  |

---

The Company's investments in marketable securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of other financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

The carrying amount for the line of credit approximates fair value because the line of credit interest rate is adjusted frequently.

For long-term debt other than the lines of credit, the fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying value and estimated fair value of this other long-term debt at *March 31, 2026* was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Carrying<br> Value | Estimated<br> Fair Value |
|  | (in thousands) | (in thousands) |
| Long-term debt | $320651 | $317724 |

---

The Company has *not* elected the fair value option for any of its financial instruments.

**<u>NOTE K: NOTES PAYABLE</u>**

During the *first three* months of *2026,* the Company's subsidiaries entered into installment obligations totaling approximately $7.4 million for the purpose of purchasing revenue equipment and other assets. These obligations are payable in monthly installments over a term of 60 months and are recorded in long-term debt and current maturities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

**<u>NOTE L: LITIGATION</u>**

We are involved in certain claims and pending litigation arising from the ordinary conduct of business. We also provide accruals for claims within our self-insured retention amounts. Since *September 1, 2020,* we have been self-insured for certain layers of auto liability claims in excess of $2.0 million. We currently specifically reserve for claims that are expected to exceed $2.0 million when fully developed, based on the facts and circumstances of those claims. Based on our knowledge of the facts, and in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, we believe the resolution of such claims and pending litigation will *not* have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, if we experience claims that are *not* covered by our insurance or that exceed our estimated claim reserve, it could increase the volatility of our earnings and have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We were previously a defendant in a motor vehicle accident lawsuit filed on *January 10, 2025* in the State Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, arising from a *December 29, 2024* accident between a Company tractor-trailer and a passenger vehicle. During the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026,* the Company finalized a settlement agreement with the plaintiff for a total settlement amount of $30.0 million, of which $26.5 million represents the Company's net exposure after consideration of applicable insurance coverage. The settlement agreement was executed by all parties on *March 30, 2026* and resolves all claims related to this matter.

As of *March 31, 2026,* the Company has paid $1.5 million related to this settlement. The remaining payments are expected to be made in accordance with the settlement agreement, with approximately $18.0 million due during the remainder of *2026* and approximately $7.0 million due in *2027.*

The Company had previously recorded a liability of $26.5 million as of *December 31, 2025.* As of *March 31, 2026,* the remaining liability was $25.0 million. This amount is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. No adjustments to the previously recorded liability were required during the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026.* There is no remaining material exposure related to this matter as of *March 31, 2026.*

**<u>NOTE M: LEASES</u>**

The Company currently leases shop, office and parking spaces in various locations in the United States and Mexico. The initial term for the majority of these leases is *one* year or less, with an option for early cancellation and an option to renew for subsequent *one*- month periods. These leases can be terminated by either party by providing notice to the other party of the intent to cancel or to *not* extend. Relatively short lease durations for these properties are intended to provide flexibility to the Company as changing operational needs and shifting opportunities often result in cancellation or non-renewal of these leases by the Company or the lessor.

The initial lease term for certain shop and office locations is for periods ranging from one to five years with early cancellation options. The Company prefers that leases include early cancellation provisions to prevent them from becoming locked into long-term leases that become operationally unjustified and to allow the flexibility to pursue more cost-effective options for similar properties if they become available. These leases often include the option to extend for additional periods, which *may* or *may not* be exercised. Based on historical experience, the Company does *not* always extend these leases, sometimes exercises the option to cancel leases early and sometimes lessors choose to cancel leases or *not* extend.

The Company leases trucks to owner-operators under our lease-to-own program. Prior to the sale of certain real property located in Laredo, Texas in *March 2026,* as described in Note O, the Company leased dock space at that facility to a related party. That lease arrangement terminated in connection with the sale of the property.

**Right-of-Use Leases**

The Company is party to operating leases which include initial terms ranging from three to ten years and which do *not* include an option for early cancellation. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic *842,* these leases resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities, respectively, valued at $7.0 million as of *March 31, 2026.* These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, using the Company's incremental borrowing rate as of the respective dates of lease inception, as the rate implicit in each lease is *not* readily determinable. The right-of-use assets are recorded in other assets, and the lease liability is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities and in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in rent and purchased transportation in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. While these lease agreements *may* contain provisions to extend for a period of time after the initial term, the Company is *not* reasonably certain these extension options will be exercised. Therefore, potential lease payments that might occur under this extension period are *not* included in amounts recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of *March 31, 2026.*

Scheduled amounts and timing of cash flows arising from operating lease payments at *March 31, 2026,* are:

---

| Other Information |  |
| Weighted-average remaining lease term for operating leases (in years) | 8.32 |
| Weighted-average discount rate for operating leases | 5.62% |

**Cash Flows**

No new right-of-use assets were recognized as a non-cash asset addition that resulted from new operating lease liabilities during the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026.* Cash paid for amounts included in the present value of operating lease liabilities was $0.2 million during the *three* months ended *March 31, 2026,* and is included in operating cash flows within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

The Company has a lease-purchase program whereby we offer independent contractors the opportunity to lease a Company-owned truck. The terms associated with these leases require weekly lease payments over the terms of the leases, which range from 5 to 60 months. Payments under this program are classified in the Company's financial statements under the consolidated statement of operations category Revenue.

As of *March 31, 2026,* the gross carrying value of trucks underlying these leases was $86.7 million and accumulated depreciation was $39.8 million. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the equipment, down to an estimated salvage value. In most cases, the Company has agreements in place with certain manufacturers whereby salvage values are guaranteed by the manufacturer. In other cases, where salvage values are *not* guaranteed, estimates of salvage value are based on the expected market values of equipment at the time of disposal. During the quarter ended *March 31, 2026,* the Company incurred $2.7 million of depreciation expense for these assets.

**Lease Receivables**

**<u>NOTE N: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS</u>**

In *March 2026,* the Company sold certain real property located in Laredo, Texas, consisting of land, office space, maintenance shop, and dock facilities, to Crown Enterprises, LLC (the "Buyer"), a related party. The Buyer is an affiliate of the Company due to common control by a significant shareholder. The transaction was *not* part of a broader arrangement and did *not* include any continuing involvement by the Company. The Company did *not* enter into a lease or other ongoing contractual arrangement with the Buyer in connection with the sale.

The property had a carrying value of $7.1 million and was sold for $19.8 million, resulting in a gain of $12.7 million, which is included in "Gain on sale or disposition of assets" within operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The sales price was based on an independent *third*-party appraisal.

Cash proceeds from the transaction were $13.6 million, reflecting the $19.8 million sales price less repayment of approximately $6.0 million of outstanding debt secured by the property and transaction costs, which were *not* material. The purchase price was paid in cash at closing.

**<u>CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES</u>**

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, *Management*'*s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,* included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

**<u>BUSINESS OVERVIEW</u>**

The Company is a holding company that owns subsidiaries engaged in providing truckload dry van carrier services transporting general commodities throughout the continental United States, as well as in certain Canadian provinces. The Company's consolidated operating subsidiaries also provide transportation services in Mexico under agreements with Mexican carriers. Unless the context otherwise requires, this report presents information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Company's administrative headquarters are in Tontitown, Arkansas. From this location we manage operations conducted through our wholly owned subsidiaries based in various locations around the United States and in Mexico and Canada.

The operations of these subsidiaries can generally be classified into either truckload services or brokerage and logistics services. This designation is based primarily on the ownership of the asset that performed the freight transportation service. Truckload services are performed by Company divisions that generally utilize Company-owned trucks, long-term contractors, or single-trip contractors to transport loads of freight for customers, while brokerage and logistics services coordinate or facilitate the transport of loads of freight for customers and generally involve the utilization of single-trip contractors.

The operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are all in the motor carrier segment and are aggregated into a single reporting segment in accordance with the aggregation criteria under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Company has carefully considered the segment reporting requirements under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280 and has determined that both our truckload operations and our brokerage/logistics operations have similar qualitative and quantitative economic characteristics and are impacted by virtually the same economic factors, such as rates per mile, equipment utilization and the percentage of non-compensated miles. Based on the Company's segment identification, interpretation of the aggregation criteria outlined in ASC 280-10-50-11, and the similar qualitative and quantitative economic characteristics of the Company's operating segments, the operations of the Company are aggregated into a single motor carrier segment. The Company's chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, utilizes the metrics of net income and operating ratio to evaluate company performance and in competitive analysis when comparing to competing companies.

Truckload services revenues, excluding fuel surcharges, represented 63.8% and 67.6% of total revenues, excluding fuel surcharges, for the quarters ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The remaining operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the same periods were generated from brokerage and logistics services, representing 36.2% and 32.4%, respectively.

The main factors that impact our profitability on the expense side are the costs incurred in transporting freight for our customers. Currently, our most challenging costs include fuel, driver recruitment, training, wage and benefits costs, independent broker costs (which we record as purchased transportation), insurance, maintenance and capital equipment costs.

In discussing our results of operations, we use revenue, before fuel surcharge (and fuel expense, net of fuel surcharge), because management believes that eliminating the impact of this sometimes volatile source of revenue allows a more consistent basis for comparing our results of operations from period to period. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, approximately $19.2 million and $18.6 million, respectively, of the Company's total revenue was generated from fuel surcharges. We may also discuss certain changes in our expenses as a percentage of revenue, before fuel surcharge, rather than absolute dollar changes. We do this because we believe the variable cost nature of certain expenses makes a comparison of changes in expenses as a percentage of revenue more meaningful than absolute dollar changes.

**<u>RESULTS OF OPERATIONS</u>** <u>–</u> **<u>TRUCKLOAD SERVICES</u>**

The following table sets forth, for truckload services, the percentage relationship of expense items to operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the periods indicated. Fuel costs are reported net of fuel surcharges.

**THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025**

During the first quarter of 2026, truckload services revenue, before fuel surcharges, decreased 15.3% to $78.3 million, compared to $92.4 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a 7.0% decline in rate per mile, from $2.04 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to $1.90 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as well as a 5.8% decrease in the average number of manned trucks during the period. The impact of the reduction in manned trucks was partially offset by a 5.8% increase in truck utilization, as measured by miles per truck per day.

Salaries, wages and benefits increased from 41.3% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, in the first quarter of 2025 to 47.1% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2026. The percentage-based increase relates primarily to the interaction of a decrease in operating revenues with the fixed-cost nature of employing human capital.

Rent and purchased transportation decreased from 25.8% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2025 to 23.5% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2026. The decrease was primarily due to a quarter-over-quarter decrease in the percentage of miles driven by third-party owner-operators as opposed to company-employed drivers.

Insurance and claims expense increased from 5.1% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2025 to 6.5% of revenues before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2026. This increase relates primarily to an increase in accident reserves recognized in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to the first quarter of 2025, as well as lower operating revenues, which reduced the leverage of certain fixed-cost elements of insurance and claims expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Other operating expenses increased from 4.5% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2025 to 7.4% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2026. The increase was primarily due to lower operating revenues, which reduced the leverage of certain fixed costs included in other operating expenses, such as supplies and advertising expense, as well as an increase in legal and professional expenses during the first quarter of 2026, primarily associated with general operational support initiatives.

Gain on sale or disposal of assets increased from 3.3% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to 19.3% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to a $12.7 million gain recognized on the sale of certain real property in Laredo, Texas, to a related party during the first quarter of 2026. The property consisted of land and operating facilities previously used in the Company's trucking operations and was sold at a value determined based on an independent third-party appraisal. Gain on sale or disposal of assets for the first quarter of 2025 consisted solely of gains on the disposal of used revenue equipment. Excluding this transaction, gain on sale or disposal of assets for the first quarter of 2026 would have been consistent with historical levels.

Non-operating income increased from 2.7% to 4.3% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the periods presented. The increase was primarily due to net realized gains on the sale of marketable equity securities during the current quarter, partially offset by unrealized losses from declines in the market value of the Company's investment portfolio.

Interest expense increased from 4.2% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2025 to 5.4% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2026. The increase is attributed to the Company's increased weighted-average interest rate on debt from 5.04% during the first quarter of 2025 to 5.38% during the first quarter of 2026, meaning the Company experienced a higher overall cost of new borrowings. The repayment of lower-rate debt and issuance of new debt at higher prevailing interest rates further contributed to the increase in interest expense. The fixed-cost nature of interest expense, combined with lower operating revenues in the first quarter of 2026, also increased interest expense as a percentage of revenue.

The truckload services division operating ratio, which measures the ratio of operating expenses, net of fuel surcharges, to operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, decreased from 110.9% for the first quarter of 2025 to 103.0% for the first quarter of 2026.

**<u>RESULTS OF OPERATIONS</u>** <u>–</u> **<u>LOGISTICS AND BROKERAGE SERVICES</u>**

The following table sets forth, for logistics and brokerage services, the percentage relationship of expense items to operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the periods indicated. Brokerage service operations occur specifically in certain divisions; however, brokerage operations occur throughout the Company in similar operations having substantially similar economic characteristics.

**THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025**

During the first quarter of 2026, logistics and brokerage services revenue, before fuel surcharges, was $44.4 million, consistent with $44.3 million during the first quarter of 2025. The relatively flat performance was primarily related to a 4.2% increase in the number of brokered loads, offset by lower spot market rates during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the prior-year period.

Rents and purchased transportation decreased from 88.4% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2025 to 86.0% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2026. The decrease was primarily due to lower purchased transportation costs, reflecting improved spread between customer rates and third-party carrier costs.

The logistics and brokerage services division operating ratio, which measures the ratio of operating expenses, net of fuel surcharges, to operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, improved from 98.0% for the first quarter of 2025 to 95.4% for the first quarter of 2026.

**<u>RESULTS OF OPERATIONS</u>** <u>–</u> **<u>COMBINED SERVICES</u>**

**THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025**

Net loss for all divisions was approximately $0.01 million, or (0.01)% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to net loss of $8.1 million, or (6.0)% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the first quarter of 2025. The reduction in net loss resulted in diluted loss per share of $(0.00) for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to diluted loss per share of $(0.37) for the first quarter of 2025.

**<u>LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES</u>**

Our business has required, and will continue to require, a significant investment in new revenue equipment. Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations, proceeds from the sales of revenue equipment, borrowings under our lines of credit, installment notes, investment margin account, and issuances of equity securities.

During the first three months of 2026, we used $2.7 million in cash from operating activities. Investing activities generated $28.7 million in cash in the first three months of 2026. Financing activities used $20.7 million in cash in the first three months of 2026.

Our primary use of funds is for the purchase of revenue equipment. We typically use installment notes with fixed interest rates and terms ranging from 36 to 84 months, our existing line of credit on an interim basis, proceeds from the sale or trade of equipment, and cash flows from operations to finance capital expenditures and repay long-term debt. During the first three months of 2026, we utilized cash on hand, long-term debt, and our line of credit to finance purchases of revenue equipment and other assets of approximately $14.4 million. In addition, we acquired approximately $7.4 million of revenue equipment through vendor-direct financing arrangements during the first three months of 2026. This non-cash financing arrangement provides an additional source of liquidity for acquiring new equipment but does not result in cash inflows or outflows and, accordingly, is not reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

During the remainder of 2026, we expect to purchase approximately 550 new trucks and 600 new trailers while continuing to sell or trade older equipment, which we expect to result in net capital expenditures of approximately $78.8 million.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings to finance our growth and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. However, we may from time to time repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock, subject to economic and market conditions, available cash flows and other factors.

During the first three months of 2026, we maintained a revolving line of credit with a borrowing limit of $60.0 million. Under this credit facility, amounts outstanding under the line bear interest at Term SOFR plus 3.35% (7.02% at March 31, 2026), are secured by our trade accounts receivable and mature on July 1, 2027. The credit facility also establishes an "unused fee" of 0.25% if average borrowings are less than $18.0 million. At March 31, 2026, we had no outstanding borrowings against the line of credit and approximately $0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, with availability to borrow $59.8 million.

Trade accounts receivable increased by approximately $12.9 million from $66.9 million as of December 31, 2025 to $79.8 million as of March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to the timing of cash collections on revenue recognized during the latter part of the first quarter of 2026, which remained outstanding at quarter-end, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2025.

Our marketable equity securities portfolio decreased $7.7 million during the first quarter of 2026, from $48.5 million at December 31, 2025 to $40.8 million at March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily attributed to the sale of marketable equity securities approximating $11.7 million, offset by the unrealized appreciation in the fair value of the remaining portfolio of $4.0 million. At March 31, 2026, the remaining marketable equity securities have a combined cost basis of approximately $22.1 million and a combined fair market value of approximately $40.8 million.

Property and equipment decreased from $792.4 million at December 31, 2025 to $760.0 million at March 31, 2026. The decrease is primarily due to the disposition of aging trucks and trailers, as well as the sale of certain real property located in Laredo, Texas to a related party, which had a cost basis of $11.4 million, during the first quarter of 2026. These decreases were partially offset by purchases of new trucks and trailers during the first quarter of 2026.

Accounts payable decreased from $32.8 million as of December 31, 2025 to $28.0 million as of March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to the payment of invoices during the first quarter of 2026 related to revenue equipment purchases outstanding at December 31, 2025.

Long-term debt and current maturities of long term-debt are reviewed on an aggregate basis, as the classification of amounts in each category are typically affected merely by the passage of time. Long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt, on an aggregate basis, decreased from $333.9 million at December 31, 2025 to $320.7 million at March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to scheduled principal payments and the repayment of approximately $6.0 million of debt associated with the sale of certain real property in Laredo, Texas to a related party, during the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by new financing arrangements for revenue equipment.

**<u>NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS</u>**

See Note B to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of the most recent accounting pronouncements and their impact, if any, on the Company.

<u>Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.</u>

Our primary market risk exposures include equity price risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk (the price paid to obtain diesel fuel for our trucks), and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The potential adverse impact of these risks is discussed below. While the Company has used derivative financial instruments in the past to manage its interest rate and commodity price risks, the Company does not currently enter into such instruments for risk management purposes or for speculation or trading.

The following sensitivity analyses do not consider the effects that an adverse change may have on the overall economy, nor do they consider additional actions we may take to mitigate our exposure to such changes. The actual results of changes in prices or rates may differ materially from the hypothetical results described below.

*<u>Equity Price Risk</u>*

We hold certain actively traded marketable equity securities, which subjects the Company to fluctuations in the fair market value of its investment portfolio based on the current market price of such securities. The recorded value of marketable equity securities decreased to $40.8 million at March 31, 2026 from $48.5 million at December 31, 2025. A 10% decrease in the market price of our marketable equity securities would cause a corresponding 10% decrease in the carrying amounts of these securities, or approximately $4.1 million. For additional information with respect to the marketable equity securities, see Note D to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

*<u>Interest Rate Risk</u>*

Our line of credit bears interest at a floating rate equal to SOFR plus a fixed percentage. Accordingly, changes in SOFR, which are affected by changes in interest rates, or a change to a new index rate, will affect the interest rate on, and therefore our costs under the line of credit. Assuming $12.0 million of variable rate debt was outstanding under our line of credit for a full fiscal year, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in SOFR would result in approximately $120,000 of additional interest expense.

*<u>Commodity Price Risk</u>*

Prices and availability of all petroleum products are subject to political, economic, and market factors that are generally outside of our control. Accordingly, the price and availability of diesel fuel, as well as other petroleum products, can be unpredictable. Because our operations are dependent upon diesel fuel, significant increases in diesel fuel costs could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Based upon our 2025 fuel consumption, a 10% increase in the average annual price per gallon of diesel fuel would increase our annual fuel expenses by $5.4 million.

*<u>Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk</u>*

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to the activities of our branch office located in Mexico. Currently, we do not hedge our exchange rate exposure through any currency forward contracts, currency options, or currency swaps as all of our revenues, and substantially all of our expenses and capital expenditures, are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, certain operating expenditures and capital purchases related to our Mexico branch office are incurred in or exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Mexican peso. Based on 2025 expenditures denominated in pesos, a 10% increase in the exchange rate would increase our annual operating expenses by $1.1 million.

<u>Item 4. Controls and Procedures.</u>

*<u>Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.</u>* Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on management's evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

*<u>Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.</u>* We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

<u>Item 1. Legal Proceedings.</u>

We are involved in certain claims and pending litigation arising from the ordinary conduct of business. We also provide accruals for claims within our self-insured retention amounts. We currently self-insure for certain layers of auto liability claims in excess of $2.0 million. Specifically, we reserve for claims that are expected to exceed $2.0 million when fully developed, based on the facts and circumstances of those claims. Based on our knowledge of the facts, and in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, we believe the resolution of such claims and pending litigation will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, if we experience claims that are not covered by our insurance or that exceed our estimated claim reserve, it could increase the volatility of our earnings and have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We were previously a defendant in a motor vehicle accident lawsuit filed on January 10, 2025 in the State Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, arising from a December 29, 2024 accident between a Company tractor-trailer and a passenger vehicle. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company finalized a settlement agreement with the plaintiff for a total settlement amount of $30.0 million, of which $26.5 million represents the Company's net exposure after consideration of applicable insurance coverage. The settlement agreement was executed by all parties on March 30, 2026 and resolves all claims related to this matter. For additional information regarding this settlement agreement, see Note L to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

<u>Item 1A. Risk Factors.</u>

There have been no material changes to the Company's risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A to Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

<u>Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.</u>

*<u>Repurchases of Equity Securities</u>*

The Company's stock repurchase program has been extended and expanded several times, most recently in July 2023, when the Board of Directors reauthorized 500,000 shares of common stock for repurchase under the initial September 2011 authorization. Since the reauthorization, the Company has repurchased 27,155 shares of its common stock under this repurchase program.

The following table summarizes the Company's common stock repurchases during the first quarter of 2026. No shares were purchased during the quarter other than through this program, and all purchases were made by or on behalf of the Company and not by any "affiliated purchaser."
