## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**PAMT CORP**

**ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2026**

**AND SHARE REPURCHASE IMPLEMENTATION**

**<u>First Quarter 2026 Summary Results</u>**

● Total revenues of $141.9 million

● Operating loss of $0.3 million

● Operating ratio of 100.2%

● Net loss of $0.01 million

● Diluted loss per share of $0.00

Tontitown, Arkansas, May 1, 2026...... PAMT CORP (NASDAQ: PAMT) ("we" or the "Company") today reported consolidated net loss of $0.01 million, or diluted and basic loss per share of $0.00, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The operating results for the first quarter of 2026 include the impact of a one-time $12.7 million gain on the sale of certain real property located in Laredo, Texas. The gain resulted in approximately $3.0 million of income tax expense, for a net after-tax benefit of approximately $9.7 million during the quarter. These results compare to a consolidated net loss of $8.1 million, or diluted and basic loss per share of $0.37, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Consolidated operating revenues decreased 8.7% to $141.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $155.3 million for the first quarter of 2025.

**<u>Liquidity, Capitalization, and Cash Flow</u>**

As of March 31, 2026, we had an aggregate of $141.1 million of cash, marketable equity securities, and available liquidity under our line of credit and $210.4 million of stockholders' equity. Outstanding debt was $320.7 million as of March 31, 2026, which represents a $13.2 million decrease from December 31, 2025. During the first three months of 2026, we used $2.7 million in operating cash flow.

**<u>Share Repurchases</u>**

The Company also announced that it intends to more actively implement share repurchases during the second quarter of 2026 under the Company's existing stock repurchase authorization. The specific timing and amount of the repurchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, cash flows, securities law limitations and other factors. Repurchases, if any, under the program will be made at the discretion of management and will be made using the Company's existing liquidity and free cash flow. Repurchases may be made in the open market, through Rule 10b5-1 programs, block trades or in privately negotiated transactions, including with related parties. The Company's stock repurchase program was most recently extended and expanded in July 2023, when the Board of Directors reauthorized the Company's purchase of up to 500,000 shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 2026, 472,845 shares remained available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program. The repurchase program has no stated expiration date but may be suspended or discontinued in the Company's discretion at any time without prior notice.

1) Includes a one-time $12.7 million gain on the sale of certain real property in Laredo, Texas.

2) Includes approximately $3.0 million of income tax expense related to the gain described in Note (1).

3) Excludes miles driven by third party power only carriers.

4) The Truckload Operations operating ratio has been calculated based upon total operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge, as a percentage of revenue, before fuel surcharge. We use revenue, before fuel surcharge, and operating expenses, net of fuel surcharge, because we believe that eliminating this sometimes volatile source of revenue affords a more consistent basis for comparing our results of operations from period to period. In addition, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Truckload Operations operating ratio includes the effect of a one-time $12.7 million pre-tax gain on the sale of certain real property in Laredo, Texas, which reduced total operating expenses in the above Key Financial and Operating Statistics.
