## Ex-99

**Exhibit 99**

**KNIGHT-SWIFT TRANSPORTATION HOLDINGS INC.**

**ANNOUNCES UPDATED FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS GUIDANCE AND INTRODUCES SECOND QUARTER GUIDANCE**

**PHOENIX, ARIZONA —** 

Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KNX) (the "Company" or "Knight-Swift") today announced an update to its earnings guidance for the first quarter of 2026 and introduced guidance for second quarter operating performance.

Based on preliminary results and a number of developments largely isolated to the first quarter, the Company now expects Adjusted EPS<sup>(1)</sup> for the first quarter of 2026 will range from $0.08 to $0.10 (which is an update from the previously-announced expectation of $0.28 to $0.32). The revised first quarter earnings guidance reflects the following developments, which affect both GAAP and non-GAAP results for the quarter:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.08 per share negative impact from claims development in our less-than-truckload (LTL) segment, primarily related to a large unfavorable arbitration award on a 2022 incident

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.05 per share negative impact from project business in our warehousing business included in our All Other Segments being deferred into the second and third quarters, partly attributable to the weather-related disruption in the first quarter

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $0.02 per share negative impact for an adverse decision on VAT reimbursement in Mexico related to prior tax years

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An estimated $0.05 - $0.06 per share negative impact due to severe winter weather disruptions in January and sharply rising fuel prices in March

Additionally, the Company expects Adjusted EPS<sup>(1)</sup> for the second quarter of 2026 to range from $0.45 to $0.49. This range represents a larger than normal sequential increase in quarterly results as the first quarter events cited above are not expected to recur and because freight market fundamentals are improving exiting the quarter. The Company's projection reflects recent trends in volumes, spot rates, and bid activity, as well as expectations for a continued seasonal build in freight demand for both truckload and less-than-truckload services.

Adam Miller, CEO of Knight-Swift commented, "While the winter weather negatively impacted volumes and operating costs more than typical for a first quarter, it also exposed the reduction in truckload capacity to all stakeholders, which is very meaningful for ongoing bid activity. Similarly, the rapid increase in fuel costs was a headwind to earnings in March, but we believe this will add to the existing downward trend in supply in the truckload industry. The truckload market continues to tighten, and the bid environment is rapidly evolving while our leading presence in the one-way market grows increasingly valuable to shippers. All things considered, we are more optimistic about the earnings opportunity for our businesses over the next several quarters than we were three months ago. We expect to build momentum in the coming months as more bids run their course and new pricing and volume awards are realized in the operating results, as we continue our cost and operational initiatives, and as we anticipate more spot and project opportunities than we have seen in recent years."

The Company's Adjusted EPS<sup>(1)</sup> ranges are based on the current freight market, recent trends, and the current beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of management.

1Our calculation of Adjusted EPS starts with GAAP diluted earnings per share and adds back the after-tax impact of intangible asset amortization as well as non-cash impairments and certain unusual items, if any.
