Forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: our expectations regarding our future performance, results of operations, and our ability to improve our leverage position and balance sheet; the economic conditions in the global markets in which we operate; expectations and impact related to fuel price volatility; our ability to successfully implement our business strategy, effectively respond to changes in market dynamics and customer preferences, and achieve the anticipated benefits and associated cost savings of such strategies and actions; our ability to recruit and retain qualified driving associates, independent contractors and third-party auto transportation and logistics companies; an increase in the frequency or severity of accidents or other claims; our expectations regarding the successful implementation of our acquisitions; geopolitical developments and additional changes in international trade policies and relations; the effect of any international conflicts or terrorist activities, on the United States and global economies in general, the transportation industry, or us in particular, and what effects these events will have on our costs and the demand for our services; our ability to manage our network capacity and cost structure for capital expenditures and operating expenses, and match it to shifting and future customer volume levels; our ability to compete effectively against current and future competitors; our ability to maintain our profitability despite quarterly fluctuations in our results, whether due to seasonality, large cyclical events, or other causes; and our future financial and operating results; our expectations regarding the period during which we will qualify as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act; and the sufficiency of our existing cash to fund our future operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements.

PROFICIENT AUTO LOGISTICS REPORTS

FIRST quarter 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA – May 7, 2026 — Proficient Auto Logistics, Inc. (NASDAQ: PAL) (the "Company" or "Proficient") today reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

**First Quarter 2026 Summary** 

Total Operating Revenue of $93.7 million, decreased (1.6%) from Q1 2025

Total Operating Loss of ($6.9) million, versus ($2.4) million in Q1 2025

Adjusted Operating Income<sup>(1)</sup> (Loss) of ($3.2) million, versus $1.2 million in Q1 2025

Adjusted Operating Ratio<sup>(1)</sup> of 103.4% compared to 98.7% in Q1 2025

Total Units delivered of 501,850, an increase of 1.5% from Q1 2025

Rick O'Dell, Proficient's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "As previously communicated in early March, the year began with challenges from lower-than-expected volumes and weather disruptions, and more recent fuel cost headwinds further impacted the quarter. Encouragingly, underlying demand trends improved exiting the quarter, and with more consistent seasonal volumes and improved fuel cost recovery, we believe we are positioned for improved performance as the second quarter progresses."

The Company is providing the below summary unaudited financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Please refer to footnote 1 in the table for a description of periods included for more recently acquired entities.

(1) Adjusted
Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. See "Summary Unaudited Financial Information"
on the following pages for additional information regarding the use of Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Ratio and a reconciliation
to the most comparable GAAP measure.

(1) The amounts shown reflect the unaudited summary financial results for the full three-month periods presented. Amounts related to Brothers Auto Transport, LLC ("Brothers") are included only since the April 1, 2025, date of acquisition.

(2) Our management team reviews Adjusted Operating Income and the related Adjusted Operating Ratio, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures, as a basis for comparing the results of financial reporting periods excluding the impact of non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, and other non-recurring items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance. These measures provide management with insight regarding progress on operating and integration initiatives. The table above provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income to Total Operating (Loss) Income, the most comparable GAAP measure, and Adjusted Operating Ratio flows from that.

(3) Our management team reviews Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures, to measure the operating performance and financial condition of our business and to make strategic decisions. See the Appendix for additional information regarding the use of Adjusted EBITDA. The table above provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to (Loss) Income before income taxes, the most comparable GAAP measure, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin flows from that.

(1) Amounts
related to Brothers are included only since the April 1, 2025, date of acquisition.

First quarter revenue decreased ($1.5) million, or (1.6%), compared to the same quarter of 2025, while total unit deliveries were up 1.5% versus the same period of 2025, as volume growth from Brothers was offset by lower revenue per unit driven by portfolio mix. Absent the impact of the Brothers acquisition, volume was down (4.0%) in the quarter versus last year, demonstrating a weaker underlying automotive market. Company unit deliveries increased 14.3% year-over-year for the quarter while Subhauler deliveries declined (4.8%) versus the same period, reflecting prioritization of Company-owned truck asset utilization for units delivered, particularly in a slower seasonal period.

The first two months of the quarter were affected by extended automotive plant shutdowns, weak industry seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR), which was down year-over-year, severe winter weather, and a slower than anticipated recovery in rail and ocean transportation tenders. These factors constrained core volumes and resulted in revenue levels below fixed-cost coverage. While revenue and volume trends improved in March, meaningfully higher diesel fuel prices and the timing lag to associated higher fuel-surcharge recoveries created an unplanned cost and margin headwind in March. Recent trends indicate more stable volumes and improved fuel cost recovery as the second quarter progresses.

**Balance Sheet**

The Company ended the first quarter with $9.8 million of cash and $69.1 million of debt. The resulting net debt of approximately $59.3 million as of March 31, 2026, equates to a net leverage ratio of 1.6x when compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $36.3 million for the trailing twelve months. Total debt was reduced by approximately $5.3 million during the quarter; however, cash balances declined as elevated fuel costs and rising purchased transportation near quarter end drew down cash in advance of the receipt of higher fuel surcharge reimbursements and customer payments.

On March 2, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $15 million of its common stock. The repurchase program authorizes the Company to purchase its common stock from time to time in the open market, in block transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated stock repurchase programs, through option or other forward transactions or otherwise, all in compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations and other restrictions. As of the end of the first quarter, we have repurchased 82,877 shares of common stock at an average price of $6.25.

The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2026 (the "Annual Report"), and elsewhere in the Annual Report.

**Appendix**

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Operating Ratio, provide useful information in measuring operating performance, generating future operating plans and making strategic decisions regarding allocation of capital. Management believes this information presents helpful comparisons of financial performance between periods by excluding the effect of certain non-cash and non-recurring items.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Operating Ratio do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, and it should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) for the period adjusted for interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation expense and intangible amortization expense.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) for the period adjusted for interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, stock compensation expense and any non-recurring items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance, including restructuring charges of $1.2 million recorded during the third quarter of 2025 and non-cash goodwill impairment of $27.8 million recorded during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of operating revenue.

Operating income is calculated as total operating revenue less total operating expenses.

Adjusted operating income is calculated as total operating revenue less total operating expenses adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, stock compensation expense, and non-recurring items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance, including restructuring charges of $1.2 million recorded during the third quarter of 2025 and non-cash goodwill impairment of $27.8 million recorded during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Operating ratio is calculated as total operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue.

Adjusted operating ratio is calculated as total operating expenses adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, stock compensation expense, and any non-recurring items that management does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance, as a percentage of operating revenue. Adjusted items including restructuring charges of $1.2 million recorded during the third quarter of 2025.
