| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Total revenue from operations | $**1334696** | $1374858 |

---

***Basis of Presentation***

The accompanying unaudited, interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and, in management's opinion, contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our operating results are subject to seasonal trends; therefore, the results of operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the subsequent quarterly periods or the year ending December 31, 2026.

The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes, which appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no significant changes in the accounting principles and policies, long-term contracts or estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed financial statements of Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. as previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, other than those disclosed in this Form 10-Q.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in these Notes to "Old Dominion," the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc.

***Stock Repurchase Program***

On July 26, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to an aggregate of $3.0 billion of our outstanding common stock (the "2023 Repurchase Program"). The 2023 Repurchase Program began after the completion of our prior repurchase program in May 2024 and does not have an expiration date. Under the 2023 Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares from time to time in open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions. Shares of our common stock repurchased under the 2023 Repurchase Program are canceled at the time of repurchase and are classified as authorized but unissued shares of our common stock. At March 31, 2026, we had $1.45 billion remaining authorized under the 2023 Repurchase Program.

***Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements*** 

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that

------

conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. We adopted ASU 2025-05 in the first quarter of 2026 on a prospective basis and elected the practical expedient. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed financial statements.

***Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted***

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. ASU 2024-03 requires public entities to disclose additional information about the nature of expenses included on the statements of operations as well as information about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the statements of operations in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. While the new accounting rules will not have any impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, the adoption of the new accounting rules may result in additional disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under Accounting Standards Codification 350-40, Internal-Use Software Accounting & Capitalization. ASU 2025-06 eliminates project stages and requires capitalization of software costs to begin when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. When evaluating if a project is probable to be completed, significant development uncertainty must be assessed. Additionally, disclosures for property, plant and equipment will be required for all capitalized software costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The new accounting rules can be adopted prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our financial condition, results of operations and disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. ASU 2025-11 provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11.

**Note 2. Earnings Per Share**

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the daily weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding for the period, excluding unvested restricted stock. Unvested restricted stock is included in common shares outstanding on our Condensed Balance Sheets.

Diluted earnings per share is computed using the treasury stock method. The denominator used in calculating diluted earnings per share includes the impact of unvested restricted stock and other dilutive, non-participating securities under our equity award agreements. Contingently issuable shares under performance-based award agreements are included in, or excluded from, the denominator depending on whether the performance target is deemed to have been achieved, or not to have been achieved, using the assumption that the end of the reporting period is treated as the end of the contingency period.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the number of shares of common stock used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share:

***Note Agreement*** 

On May 4, 2020, we entered into a Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement with PGIM, Inc. ("Prudential") and certain affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential (as subsequently amended, the "Note Agreement"). The Note Agreement provided for the issuance of senior promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of up to $350.0 million through March 22, 2026. On May 4, 2020, we issued $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior promissory notes (the "Series B Notes"). The Series B Notes bear interest at 3.10% per annum and mature on May 4, 2027, unless prepaid. The first three principal payments of $20.0 million each were paid in May of 2023, 2024 and 2025. The remaining $40.0 million will be paid in two equal annual installments of $20.0 million in May 2026 and May 2027. The Series B Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank pari passu with borrowings under our third amended and restated credit agreement, dated March 22, 2023, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as administrative agent for the lenders (as subsequently amended, the "Credit Agreement").

***Credit Agreement***

The Credit Agreement, which matures in March 2028, initially provided for a five-year, $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving line of credit and a $150.0 million accordion feature. On May 23, 2025, we exercised the accordion feature and entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to increase the total borrowing capacity from existing lenders by $150.0 million to an aggregate of $400.0 million. The Credit Agreement allows for up to $100.0 million to be utilized for letters of credit against the line of credit, which was unchanged by the amendment.

At our option, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either: (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, as defined in the Credit Agreement, equal to 0.100%, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.000% to 1.375%; or (ii) a Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 0.000% to 0.375%. The applicable margin for each of the foregoing options is dependent upon our consolidated debt to consolidated total capitalization ratio. Letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin for SOFR loans are charged quarterly in arrears on the daily average aggregate stated amount of all letters of credit outstanding during the quarter. Commitment fees ranging from 0.090% to 0.175% (based upon our consolidated debt to total consolidated capitalization ratio) are charged quarterly in arrears on the aggregate unutilized portion of the Credit Agreement.

For periods covered under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin on SOFR loans and letter of credit fees were 1.000% and commitment fees were 0.090%.

There were $31.8 million and $37.5 million of outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had $368.2 million of borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement after taking into account outstanding letters of credit.

***General Debt Provisions***

The Credit Agreement and the Note Agreement, as it relates to the Series B Notes, contain customary covenants, including financial covenants that require us to observe a maximum ratio of debt to total capital and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Agreement and the Note Agreement also include a provision limiting our ability to make restricted payments, including dividends and payments for share repurchases, unless, among other conditions, no defaults or events of default are ongoing (or would be caused by such restricted payment).

------

**Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies**

We are involved in or addressing various legal proceedings and claims, governmental inquiries, notices and investigations that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business and have not been fully adjudicated, some of which may be covered in whole or in part by insurance. Certain of these matters include collective and/or class-action allegations. We do not believe that the resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

**Note 5. Fair Value Measurements**

***Long-term Debt***

The carrying value of our total long-term debt, including current maturities, was $40.0 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The estimated fair value of our total long-term debt, including current maturities, was $39.1 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The fair value measurement of our Series B Notes was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis that factors in current market yields for comparable borrowing arrangements under our credit profile. Since this methodology is based upon market yields for comparable arrangements, the measurement is categorized as Level 2 under the three-level fair value hierarchy as established by the FASB.

**Note 6. Segment Information**

We have one operating and reportable segment that provides regional, inter-regional and national LTL services through a single integrated, union-free organization. We derive revenue primarily in North America and manage our business activities on a Company-wide basis. The accounting policies of our reportable segment are the same as those described in Note 1 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, reviews Company-wide financial information. The CODM uses "Net income" on our Condensed Statements of Operations to make capital allocation and spending decisions, which is initially performed as part of our annual strategic planning process. As part of our strategic planning process, we develop an annual budget for capital expenditures to support our forecasted tonnage and shipment growth. This annual capital expenditure plan, and any other spending decisions that the CODM believes will help prepare our Company for future growth, are generally considered our first priorities for allocating capital. Once those decisions are made, other capital considerations may include share repurchases, dividends, and acquisitions. The CODM monitors actual results against forecast throughout the year and evaluates necessary changes in operating activities or capital allocation. Segment assets are reported as "Total assets" on our Condensed Balance Sheets but "Total assets" are not used to measure segment performance or allocate resources. Long-lived assets, which consist primarily of property and equipment, net, are all located in the United States.

**Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

**Overview**

We are one of the largest North American less-than-truckload ("LTL") motor carriers and provide regional, inter-regional and national LTL services through a single integrated, union-free organization. Our service offerings, which include expedited transportation, are provided through an expansive network of service centers located throughout the continental United States. Through strategic alliances, we also provide LTL services throughout North America. In addition to our core LTL services, we offer a range of value-added services including container drayage, truckload brokerage and supply chain consulting. More than 98% of our revenue has historically been derived from transporting LTL shipments for our customers, whose demand for our services is generally tied to industrial production and the overall health of the U.S. domestic economy.

In analyzing the components of our revenue, we monitor changes and trends in our LTL volumes and LTL revenue per hundredweight. While LTL revenue per hundredweight is a yield measurement, it is also a commonly-used indicator for general pricing trends in the LTL industry. This yield metric is not a true measure of price, however, as it can be influenced by many other factors, such as changes in fuel surcharges, weight per shipment and length of haul. As a result, changes in revenue per hundredweight do not necessarily indicate actual changes in underlying base rates. LTL revenue per hundredweight and the key factors that can impact this metric are described in more detail below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*LTL Revenue Per Hundredweight -* Our LTL transportation services are generally priced based on weight, commodity, and distance. This measurement reflects the application of our pricing policies to the services we provide, which are influenced by competitive market conditions and our growth objectives. Generally, freight is rated by a class system, which is established by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. Light, bulky freight typically has a higher class and is priced at higher revenue per hundredweight than dense, heavy freight. Fuel surcharges, accessorial charges, revenue adjustments and revenue for undelivered freight are included in this measurement, and we regularly monitor the components that impact our pricing. The fuel surcharge is generally designed to offset fluctuations in the cost of our petroleum-based products and is indexed to diesel fuel prices published by the U.S. Department of Energy, which reset each week. Revenue for undelivered freight is deferred for financial statement purposes in accordance with our revenue recognition policy; however, we believe including it in our revenue per hundredweight metrics results in a more accurate representation of the underlying changes in our yields by matching total billed revenue with the corresponding weight of those shipments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*LTL Weight Per Shipment* - Fluctuations in weight per shipment can indicate changes in the mix of freight we receive from our customers, as well as changes in the number of units included in a shipment. Generally, increases in weight per shipment indicate higher demand for our customers' products and overall increased economic activity. Changes in weight per shipment can also be influenced by shifts between LTL and other modes of transportation, such as truckload and intermodal, in response to capacity, service and pricing issues. Fluctuations in weight per shipment generally have an inverse effect on our revenue per hundredweight, as a decrease in weight per shipment will typically cause an increase in revenue per hundredweight.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*Average Length of Haul* - We consider lengths of haul less than 500 miles to be regional traffic, lengths of haul between 500 miles and 1,000 miles to be inter-regional traffic, and lengths of haul in excess of 1,000 miles to be national traffic. This metric is used to analyze our tonnage and pricing trends for shipments with similar characteristics, and also allows for comparison with other transportation providers serving specific markets. By analyzing this metric, we can determine the success and growth potential of our service products in these markets. Changes in length of haul generally have a direct effect on our revenue per hundredweight, as an increase in length of haul will typically cause an increase in revenue per hundredweight.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*LTL Revenue Per Shipment* - This measurement is primarily determined by the three metrics listed above and is used in conjunction with the number of LTL shipments we receive to evaluate LTL revenue.

Our primary revenue focus is to increase density, which is shipment and tonnage growth within our existing infrastructure. Increases in density allow us to maximize our asset utilization and labor productivity, which we measure over many different functional areas of our operations including linehaul load factor, pickup and delivery ("P&D") stops per hour, P&D shipments per hour, platform pounds handled per hour and platform shipments per hour. In addition to our focus on density and operating efficiencies, it is critical for us to obtain an appropriate yield, which is measured as revenue per hundredweight, on the shipments we handle. We focus on the profitability of each customer account and generally seek to obtain an appropriate yield to offset our cost inflation and support our ongoing investments in capacity and technology. We believe the continued execution of this yield-management philosophy, continued increases in density, and ongoing improvements in operating efficiencies are the key components of our ability to further improve our operating ratio and long-term profitable growth.

------

Our primary cost elements are direct wages and benefits associated with the movement of freight, operating supplies and expenses, which include diesel fuel, and depreciation of our equipment fleet and service center facilities. We gauge our overall success in managing costs by monitoring our operating ratio, a measure of profitability calculated by dividing total operating expenses by revenue, which also allows for industry-wide comparisons with our competition.

We regularly upgrade our technological capabilities to improve our customer service and lower our operating costs. Our technology provides our customers with visibility of their shipments throughout our network, increases the productivity of our workforce, and provides key metrics that we use to monitor and enhance our processes.

---

Our financial results for the first quarter of 2026 reflect a decrease in revenue compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower volumes. While revenue declined year-over-year, demand trends improved as the first quarter of 2026 progressed. We continued to maintain our commitment to superior customer service by providing our customers with 99% on-time service and a cargo claims ratio below 0.1% during the quarter. This service performance supported the continued improvement in our yield. We also maintained our focus on operating efficiently and controlling discretionary spending during the quarter, although the deleveraging effect from the decrease in revenue and an increase in general supplies and expenses led to an increase in our operating ratio. As a result, our net income and diluted earnings per share decreased by 6.4% and 4.2%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025.

*Revenue*

Revenue decreased $40.2 million, or 2.9%, in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to a decrease in volumes that was partially offset by an increase in LTL revenue per hundredweight. LTL tonnage per day decreased 7.7% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in LTL shipments per day. This decrease in our volumes was partially offset by a 5.7% increase in our LTL revenue per hundredweight, which includes the impact of higher fuel surcharges resulting from an increase in the average price of diesel fuel for the comparable period. Excluding fuel surcharges, LTL revenue per hundredweight increased 4.4% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025. We believe the increase in our LTL revenue-per-hundredweight metric was driven by the ongoing execution of our yield management strategy. Our consistent, cost-based approach to pricing focuses on offsetting our cost inflation while also supporting additional investments into our business to expand capacity and enhance our technology.

*April 2026 Update*

Revenue per day increased 7.6% in April 2026 as compared to the same month last year. LTL revenue per hundredweight increased 14.6% as compared to the same month last year. LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 4.7% as compared to the same month last year. LTL tons per day decreased 6.1% due to a 7.5% decrease in LTL shipments per day that was partially offset by a 1.4% increase in LTL weight per shipment.

*Operating Costs and Other Expenses*

Salaries, wages and benefits decreased $19.8 million, or 3.0%, in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to a $17.8 million decrease in salaries and wages and a $2.0 million decrease in employee benefit costs.

The decrease in salaries and wages in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to the 7.1% decrease in our average number of active full-time employees that was partially offset by the annual wage increase provided to employees in September of 2025. Our productive labor costs, which include wages for drivers, platform employees, and fleet technicians, decreased as a percent of revenue to 24.2% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to 24.7% in the first quarter of 2025. Despite the decrease in network density that generally results from the decline in volumes, our team continued to operate efficiently

------

and deliver superior service to our customers in the first quarter of 2026. Our platform productivity metrics improved in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, which helped offset the reduction in our linehaul laden load factor and P&D productivity metrics.

The decrease in our costs attributable to employee benefits was primarily due to a decrease in retirement benefit plan costs that are directly linked to our net income, as well as the reduction in our average number of active full-time employees. Employee benefit costs as a percent of salaries and wages increased to 39.2% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to 38.2% in the first quarter of 2025.

Operating supplies and expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 2.1%, in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025. This was primarily due to lower maintenance and repair costs for our fleet that was partially offset by an increase in our costs for diesel fuel used in our vehicles. The cost of diesel fuel, excluding fuel taxes, represents the largest component of operating supplies and expenses, and can vary based on both the average price per gallon and consumption. Our average cost per gallon of diesel fuel increased 13.5% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025. We do not use diesel fuel hedging instruments; therefore, our costs are subject to market price fluctuations. Our gallons consumed decreased 9.3% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to a decrease in miles driven.

General supplies and expenses increased $7.2 million, or 18.0%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher costs related to employee training and cloud-computing technology.

Depreciation and amortization increased $3.2 million, or 3.6%, in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to the assets acquired as part of our 2025 and 2026 capital expenditure programs. While our investments in real estate, equipment, and technology can increase our short-term costs, we believe these investments are necessary to support our continued long-term growth and strategic initiatives.

Our effective tax rate was 25.0% for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to 24.8% for the first quarter of 2025. Our effective tax rate generally exceeds the federal statutory rate due to the impact of state taxes and, to a lesser extent, certain other non-taxable or non-deductible items.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

A summary of our cash flows is presented below:

| Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | **167991** | (11478) |
| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $**288082** | $97198 |

---

The change in our cash flows provided by operating activities during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025 was due to changes in certain working capital accounts that were partially offset by a decrease in net income.

The change in our cash flows used in investing activities during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to the reduction in our 2026 capital expenditure program as compared to the first quarter of 2025. Changes in our capital expenditures are more fully described below under "Capital Expenditures."

The change in our cash flows used in financing activities during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in cash utilized for repurchases of our common stock. Our return of capital to shareholders is more fully described below under "Stock Repurchase Program" and "Dividends to Shareholders."

We have three primary sources of available liquidity: cash flows from operations, our existing cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under our third amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as

------

administrative agent for the lenders, dated March 22, 2023 (as subsequently amended, the "Credit Agreement"). We believe we also have sufficient access to debt and equity markets to provide other sources of liquidity, if needed.

The Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement with PGIM, Inc. ("Prudential") and certain affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential (as subsequently amended, the "Note Agreement"), which was available through March 22, 2026, and the Credit Agreement are both described in more detail below under "Financing Agreements."

Our capital expenditures vary based upon the projected increase in the number and size of our service center facilities necessary to support our plan for long-term growth, our planned tractor and trailer replacement cycle, and forecasted tonnage and shipment growth. Expenditures for land and structures can be dependent upon the availability of land in the geographic areas where we are looking to expand. We historically spend 10% to 15% of our revenue on capital expenditures each year, and we generally expect to continue to maintain a level of capital expenditures that we believe supports our long-term plan for market share growth. There could be years, however, where our annual capital expenditure plan is above or below this range as we balance the size of our service center network and operating fleet with anticipated growth. Our capital expenditures were below this range in 2025 and we expect our capital expenditures to remain below this range in 2026 as we continue to utilize available capacity within our existing network for growth.

We currently estimate capital expenditures will be approximately $265 million for the year ending December 31, 2026. Approximately $125 million is allocated for the purchase of service center facilities, construction of new service center facilities or expansion of existing service center facilities, subject to the availability of suitable real estate and the timing of construction projects; approximately $95 million is allocated for the purchase of tractors and trailers; and approximately $45 million is allocated for investments in technology and other assets. We expect to fund these capital expenditures primarily through cash flows from operations, our existing cash and cash equivalents and, if needed, borrowings available under the Credit Agreement. We believe our current sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our expected capital expenditures for the next twelve months and in the longer term.

*Stock Repurchase Program*

On July 26, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to an aggregate of $3.0 billion of our outstanding common stock (the "2023 Repurchase Program"). The 2023 Repurchase Program began after the completion of our prior repurchase program in May 2024 and does not have an expiration date. Under the 2023 Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares from time to time in open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions. Shares of our common stock repurchased under the 2023 Repurchase Program are canceled at the time of repurchase and are classified as authorized but unissued shares of our common stock. At March 31, 2026, we had $1.45 billion remaining authorized under the 2023 Repurchase Program.

*Dividends to Shareholders*

Our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.29 per share for the first quarter of 2026 and declared a cash dividend of $0.28 per share for each quarter of 2025.

Although we intend to pay a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock for the foreseeable future, the declaration and amount of any future dividend is subject to approval by our Board of Directors, and is restricted by applicable state law limitations on distributions to shareholders as well as certain covenants under the Credit Agreement and the Note Agreement. We anticipate that any

------

future quarterly cash dividends will be funded through cash flows from operations, our existing cash and cash equivalents, and, if needed, borrowings under our Credit Agreement.

*Financing Agreements*

<u>Note Agreement</u>

On May 4, 2020, we entered into the Note Agreement which provided for the issuance of senior promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of up to $350.0 million through March 22, 2026. On May 4, 2020, we issued $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior promissory notes (the "Series B Notes"). The Series B Notes bear interest at 3.10% per annum and mature on May 4, 2027, unless prepaid. The first three principal payments of $20.0 million each were paid in May of 2023, 2024 and 2025. The remaining $40.0 million will be paid in two equal annual installments of $20.0 million in May 2026 and May 2027. The Series B Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank pari passu with borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

<u>Credit Agreement</u>

The Credit Agreement, which matures in March 2028, initially provided for a five-year, $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving line of credit and a $150.0 million accordion feature. On May 23, 2025, we exercised the accordion feature and entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to increase the total borrowing capacity from existing lenders by $150.0 million to an aggregate of $400.0 million. The Credit Agreement allows for up to $100.0 million to be utilized for letters of credit against the line of credit, which was unchanged by the amendment.

At our option, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either: (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, as defined in the Credit Agreement, equal to 0.100%, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.000% to 1.375%; or (ii) a Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin that ranges from 0.000% to 0.375%. The applicable margin for each of the foregoing options is dependent upon our consolidated debt to consolidated total capitalization ratio. Letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin for SOFR loans are charged quarterly in arrears on the daily average aggregate stated amount of all letters of credit outstanding during the quarter. Commitment fees ranging from 0.090% to 0.175% (based upon our consolidated debt to total consolidated capitalization ratio) are charged quarterly in arrears on the aggregate unutilized portion of the Credit Agreement.

For periods covered under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin on SOFR loans and letter of credit fees were 1.000% and commitment fees were 0.090%.

The amounts outstanding and available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement are presented below:

| Outstanding letters of credit | **(31845)** | (37533) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Credit Agreement availability | $**368155** | $362467 |

---

<u>General Debt Provisions</u>

The Credit Agreement and the Note Agreement, as it relates to the Series B Notes, contain customary covenants, including financial covenants that require us to observe a maximum ratio of debt to total capital and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Agreement and the Note Agreement also include a provision limiting our ability to make restricted payments, including dividends and payments for share repurchases, unless, among other conditions, no defaults or events of default are ongoing (or would be caused by such restricted payment). We were in compliance with all covenants in our outstanding debt instruments for the period ended March 31, 2026.

We do not anticipate financial performance that would cause us to violate any such covenants in the future, and we believe our existing Credit Agreement along with our additional borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet foreseeable seasonal and long-term capital needs.

The interest rate is fixed on the Series B Notes. Therefore, short-term exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is limited to our Credit Agreement. We do not currently use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes.

------

**Critical Accounting Policies**

In preparing our condensed financial statements, we applied the same critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 that we believe affect our judgments and estimates of amounts recorded in certain assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.

**Seasonality**

Our tonnage levels and revenue mix are subject to seasonal trends common in our industry, although other factors, such as macroeconomic changes, could cause variation in these trends. Our revenue and operating margins in the first and fourth quarters are typically lower than those during the second and third quarters due to reduced shipments during the winter months. Harsh winter weather, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and other natural disasters can also adversely impact our performance by reducing demand and increasing operating expenses. We believe seasonal trends will continue to impact our business.

**Environmental Regulation**

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that focus on, among other things: the disposal, emission and discharge of hazardous waste, hazardous materials, or other materials into the environment or their presence at our properties or in our vehicles; fuel storage tanks; transportation of certain materials; and the discharge or retention of storm water. Under specific environmental laws, we could also be held responsible for any costs relating to contamination at our past or present facilities and at third-party waste disposal sites, as well as costs associated with clean-up of accidents involving our vehicles. We do not believe that the cost of future compliance with current environmental laws or regulations will have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, competitive position or capital expenditures for fiscal year 2026. However, future changes to laws or regulations may adversely affect our operations and could result in unforeseen costs to our business.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

There have been no material changes to our market risk exposures since our most recent fiscal year end. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

a)<u>Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures</u>

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based on this evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

b)<u>Changes in internal control over financial reporting</u>

Effective January 1, 2026, we implemented a new payroll processing system to integrate our human resources information system with payroll processing and to modernize our payroll systems and related processes. As part of the implementation, we updated certain processes and internal controls related to payroll processing and the associated financial reporting activities. Management will continue to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of the related internal controls in subsequent periods.

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

------

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

We are involved in or addressing various legal proceedings and claims, governmental inquiries, notices and investigations that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business and have not been fully adjudicated, some of which may be covered in whole or in part by insurance. Certain of these matters include collective and/or class-action allegations. We do not believe that the resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Consistent with SEC Regulation S-K Item 103, we have elected to disclose those environmental legal proceedings with a governmental authority if management reasonably believes that the proceedings may involve potential monetary sanctions of $1.0 million or more. Applying this threshold, there are no such unresolved proceedings to disclose as of March 31, 2026.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

In addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, including our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, careful consideration should be given to the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors identified in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
