Latest Results (12.11.2025):

C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc reported its 2025 Third Quarter earnings with strong performance despite a challenging freight market. The company achieved a 22.6% increase in income from operations to $220.8 million, a 67.6% rise in net income to $163.0 million, and significant improvements in both GAAP and non‐GAAP metrics such as diluted EPS and adjusted operating margins. These results underpin the disciplined execution of its strategic initiatives, enhanced productivity across NAST and Global Forwarding, and effective cost management during a period of soft market conditions.

Revenue & Profit Trends

Total revenues declined 10.9% to $4.1 billion mainly due to lower pricing and volume in ocean services and the divestiture of the Europe Surface Transportation business, while gross profits fell 4.4% to $691.7 million. Despite these declines, improved productivity and higher volume in truckload services provided some offset and contributed to a 67.6% increase in net income.

Improved Operational Margins

The quarter witnessed a 680 basis point improvement in the adjusted operating margin, reaching 31.3%. This margin expansion combined with lower operating expenses—down 12.6%—highlights the company’s focus on cost efficiency and productive scaling of its operations amid market headwinds.

Solid EPS Growth & Cash Flow

Diluted EPS increased by 67.5% to $1.34, and adjusted diluted EPS rose by 9.4% to $1.40, reflecting robust profitability despite revenue pressures. Additionally, cash generated from operations surged by $167.4 million, totaling $275.4 million, underscoring strong cash flow management during the quarter.

Strategic Execution Amid Market Challenges

In a soft freight environment characterized by declining ocean rates and a reduced Cass Freight Shipment Index, C.H. Robinson demonstrated resilient strategic execution—evident in market share gains in NAST, operational improvements in Global Forwarding, and ongoing investments in Lean AI—to deliver sustainable outperformance and build a scalable, efficient business model going forward.
