PAMT CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

~~June~~September 30, 2025

NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the information reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for PAMT CORP and its legally distinct subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated, is presented on a consolidated basis. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” mean PAMT CORP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Operating results for the ~~six~~nine-month period ended ~~June~~September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

NOTE B: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). ASU 2023-07 expands disclosures related to a public entity's reportable segment and requires more enhanced information about significant segment expenses, including in interim periods. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, using a retrospective approach. The Company adopted this standard on a retrospective basis for the 2024 annual period, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. See Note F, “Segment Information,” for further information. ASU 2023-07 had no material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 was issued to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company has evaluated the new guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 was issued to enhance the transparency of financial reporting by requiring public business entities to provide more detailed disclosures about certain operating expenses. The FASB also issued ASU 2025-01 in January clarifying that ASU 2024-03 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the new guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company has reviewed other recently issued accounting standards and determined they are not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE C: REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company has a single performance obligation to transport our customers’ freight from a specified origin to a specified destination. The Company has the discretion to choose to self-transport or to arrange for alternate transportation to fulfill the performance obligation. Where the Company decides to self-transport the freight, the Company classifies the service as truckload services, and where the Company arranges for alternate transportation of the freight, the Company classifies the service as brokerage and logistics services. In either case, the Company is paid a rate to transport freight from its origin location to a specified destination. Because the primary factors influencing revenue recognition, including performance obligation, customer base, and timing of revenue recognition are the same for both of its service categories, the Company utilizes the same revenue recognition method throughout its operations.

Company revenue is generated from freight transportation services performed utilizing heavy truck trailer combinations. While various ownership arrangements may exist for the equipment utilized to perform these services, including Company-owned or leased, owner-operator owned, and third-party carriers, revenue is generated from the same base of customers. Contracts with these customers establish rates for services performed, which are predominantly rates that will be paid to pick up, transport and drop off freight at various locations. In addition to transportation, revenue is also awarded for various accessorial services performed in conjunction with the base transportation service. The Company also has other revenue categories that are not discussed in this note or broken out in our consolidated statements of operations due to their immaterial amounts.

In fulfilling the Company’s obligation to transport freight from a specified origin to a specified destination, the control of freight is transferred to the Company at the point it has been loaded into the driver’s trailer, the doors are sealed and the driver has signed a bill of lading, which is the basic transportation agreement that establishes the nature, quantity and condition of the freight loaded, responsibility for invoice payment, and pickup and delivery locations. The Company’s revenue is generated, and our customer receives benefit, as the freight progresses towards delivery locations. In the event the Company’s customer cancels the shipment at some point prior to the final delivery location and re-consigns the shipment to an alternate delivery location, the Company is entitled to receive payment for services performed for the partial shipment. Shipments are generally conducted over a relatively short time span, generally one to three days; however, freight is sometimes stored temporarily in our trailer at one of our drop yard locations or at a location designated by a customer. The Company’s revenue is categorized as either Freight Revenue or Fuel Surcharge Revenue, and both are earned by performing the same freight transportation services, as discussed further below.

Shipments are generally conducted over a relatively short time span, generally one to three days; however, freight is sometimes stored temporarily in our trailer at one of our drop yard locations or at a location designated by a customer. The Company’s revenue is categorized as either Freight Revenue or Fuel Surcharge Revenue, and both are earned by performing the same freight transportation services, as discussed further below.

Freight Revenue – revenue generated by the performance of the freight transportation service, including any accessorial service, provided to customers.

Fuel Surcharge Revenue – revenue designed to adjust freight revenue rates to an agreed-upon base cost for diesel fuel. Diesel fuel prices can fluctuate widely during the term of a contract with a customer. At the point that freight revenue rates are negotiated with customers, a sliding scale is agreed upon that systematically adjusts diesel fuel costs to an agreed-upon base amount. In general, as fuel prices increase, revenue from fuel surcharge increases, so that diesel fuel cost is adjusted to the approximate agreed upon base amount.

Revenue is recognized over time as the freight progresses towards its destination and the transportation service obligation is fulfilled. For loads picked up during the reporting period, but delivered in a subsequent reporting period, revenue is allocated to each period based on the transit time in each period as a percentage of total transit time. The contract asset, or the amount of remaining performance obligation relating to loads in process, at ~~June~~September 30, 2025 was $3.01 million compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2024. Recorded contract assets are included in the accounts receivable line item of the balance sheet. Corresponding liabilities are recorded in the accrued expenses and other liabilities line items for the estimated expenses on these same in-process loads. The Company had no contract liabilities associated with our operations as of ~~June~~September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company recognizes operating lease revenue from leasing tractors and related equipment to third parties, including independent contractors. Operating lease revenue from rental operations is recognized in revenue as it is earned. Upon lease termination, losses may be incurred in the recovery of leased equipment which are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

NOTE D: MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES

The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist of equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method, and interest and dividends on securities are included in non-operating income.

Marketable equity securities are carried at fair value, with gains and losses in fair market value included in the determination of net income. The fair value of marketable equity securities is determined based on quoted market prices in active markets, as described in Note J.

The following table sets forth market value, cost, and unrealized gains on equity securities as of ~~June~~September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

For the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2025, the Company recognized dividends received of approximately $~~392~~316,000 in non-operating income in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2025, the Company recognized dividends received of approximately $~~835~~1,150,000 in non-operating income in its condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company’s equity securities are periodically used as collateral against any outstanding margin account borrowings. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings ~~of approximately $685,000~~ under its margin account, ~~compared~~which tois no change from December 31, 2024 when the Company had no outstanding borrowings under ~~its~~the ~~margin~~same account ~~at December 31,2024~~. Margin account borrowings, when utilized, are used for the purchase of marketable equity securities and as a source of short-term liquidity and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our marketable equity securities portfolio had a net unrealized pre-tax gain in market value of approximately $1,~~058~~392,000 during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2025, and a net unrealized pre-tax ~~loss~~gain in market value of approximately $12,~~153~~365,000 during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2024, which were reported as non-operating income in its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the respective periods.

NOTE E: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains a stock incentive plan under which incentive and non-qualified stock options and other stock awards may be granted. On February 15, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and on October 31, 2024, our shareholders approved, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2024 Plan”). Under the 2024 Plan, 1,600,000 shares are reserved for the issuance of stock awards to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company. The stock option exercise price and the restricted stock unit purchase price under the 2024 Plan shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the award is granted. The fair market value is determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock, on its primary exchange, on the same date that the option or other award is granted.

~~During~~In ~~May~~August 2025, the Company granted 2 awards of restricted stock units representing 100,~~862~~000 shares of common stock to ~~non-employee~~its ~~directors~~Chief Executive Officer under the 2024 Plan. ~~This~~The stock award had a grant date fair value of $1512.7115 per share, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant,. ~~and~~The ~~vested~~awarded ~~immediately~~share units will vest in four equal installments beginning on February 9, 2026.

Prior to the 2024 Plan, the Company maintained the 2014 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors in March 2014 and approved by the Company’s shareholders in May 2014. Under the 2014 Plan, 3,000,000 shares (as adjusted for the Company’s 2-for-1 forward splits of its common stock paid in August 2021 and March 2022, respectively) were reserved for the issuance of stock awards to directors, officers, key employees, and others. The stock option exercise price and the restricted stock purchase price under the 2014 Plan were not to be less than 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the award is granted. The fair market value was determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock, on its primary exchange, on the same date that the option or award was granted. The 2014 Plan expired on March 13, 2024, and no further grants may be made under this plan. All outstanding unvested awards granted under the 2014 Plan, however, remain subject to the terms and conditions of the 2014 Plan.

The total grant date fair value of stock vested during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025 was approximately $437,000. The total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense, recognized in salaries, wages and benefits during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025, was approximately $~~140~~325,000 and includes approximately $45,000 recognized as a result of the issuance of shares to certain non-employee directors. The recognition of stock-based compensation expense decreased both diluted and basic earnings per common share by approximately $0.01 during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2025, the Company had stock-based compensation plans with total unvested stock-based compensation expense of approximately $12,~~147~~178,000, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period. As a result, the Company expects to recognize approximately $~~336~~228,000 in additional compensation expense related to unvested stock awards during the remainder of 2025 and to recognize approximately $~~304~~644,000, $~~242~~545,000, and $~~233~~537,000 in additional compensation expense related to unvested stock-based awards during the years 2026, 2027, and 2028, respectively.

Table of Contents

The total grant date fair value of stock vested during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2024 was approximately $~~550~~928,000. The total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense, recognized in salaries, wages and benefits during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2024, was approximately $~~393~~550,000 and included approximately $38,000 recognized as a result of the issuance of shares to certain non-employee directors. The recognition of stock-based compensation expense decreased both diluted and basic earnings per common share by approximately $0.0102 during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2024. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024, the Company had stock-based compensation plans with total unvested stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1,~~779~~536,000, which was being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period.

A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested stock awards as of ~~June~~September 30, 2025, and changes during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2025, is as follows:

NOTE F: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company follows the guidance provided by ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, in its identification of operating segments. The Company has determined that it has a total of two operating segments whose primary operations can be characterized as either Truckload Services or Brokerage and Logistics Services; however, in accordance with the aggregation criteria provided by FASB ASC Topic 280, the Company has determined that the operations of the two operating segments can be aggregated into a single reportable segment. Both our truckload operations and our brokerage/logistics operations have similar qualitative and quantitative economic characteristics and are impacted by virtually the same economic factors. Based on the Company’s segment identification, interpretation of the aggregation criteria outlined in ASC 280-10-50-11, and the similar qualitative and quantitative economic characteristics of the Company’s operating segments, the operations of the Company are aggregated into a single motor carrier segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, utilizes the metrics of net income and operating ratio to evaluate company performance and in competitive analysis when comparing to competing companies.

Truckload Services revenues and Brokerage and Logistics Services revenues, each before fuel surcharges, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,

NOTE G: TREASURY STOCK

The Company’s stock repurchase program has been extended and expanded several times, most recently in July 2023, when the Board of Directors reauthorized 500,000 shares of common stock for repurchase under the initial September 2011 authorization. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2025, there remain 474,016 shares of common stock authorized for repurchase under this plan.

On April 3, 2025, the Company commenced a tender offer to repurchase up to 435,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a price of not greater than $17.00 nor less than $14.00 per share. On April 11, 2025, the Company amended the terms of the tender offer to increase the minimum purchase price for shares purchased in the tender offer to $14.50 per share. Following the expiration of the tender offer on May 1, 2025, the Company accepted 870,000 shares of its common stock for purchase at $17.00 per share, at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $14.8 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the offer. The number of shares purchased by the Company reflects the Company’s right to purchase additional shares in the tender offer up to an additional 2% of its outstanding shares. The Company funded the purchase of the accepted shares tendered with available cash and accounted for the repurchase of these shares as treasury stock on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of ~~June~~September 30, 2025.

The Company accounts for treasury stock using the cost method. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2025, 1,451,586 shares were held in the treasury at an aggregate cost of approximately $28,924,000.

NOTE H: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding by common stock equivalents attributable to dilutive restricted stock. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

	Three Months Ended						~~Six~~Nine Months Ended

NOTE I: INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. and Canadian federal income tax laws as well as the income tax laws of multiple state jurisdictions. The major tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates generally provide for a deficiency assessment statute of limitations period of three years, and as a result, the Company’s tax years 2021 and forward remain open to examination in those jurisdictions.

In determining whether a tax asset valuation allowance is necessary, management, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10-30, Accounting for Income Taxes, weighs all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is necessary. If negative conditions exist which indicate a valuation allowance might be necessary, consideration is then given to what effect the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and the availability of tax strategies might have on future taxable income to determine the amount, if any, of the required valuation allowance. As of ~~June~~September 30, ~~2024~~2025, management determined that the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and available tax strategies would generate sufficient future taxable income to realize its tax assets and therefore a valuation allowance was not necessary.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2025, an adjustment to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for uncertain tax positions has not been required as management believes that the Company’s tax positions taken in income tax returns filed or to be filed are supported by clear and unambiguous income tax laws. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not recognized or accrued any interest or penalties related to uncertain income tax positions.

The Company’s effective income tax rates were 2425.73% and 2223.78% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2025 differs from amounts computed by applying the United States federal statutory rates to pre-tax income primarily due to state income taxes.

11 On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law. Among other provisions, the legislation reinstated 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, and modified the limitation on business interest expense under Internal Revenue Code Section 163(j) to be based on 30% of adjusted taxable income determined using an EBITDA measure, rather than EBIT. These provisions are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, and therefore apply to the Company’s 2025 tax year.

As a result of these provisions, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation deductions and recognized previously disallowed interest expense, which collectively increased current-year deductible expenses and are expected to result in a projected federal net operating loss position for the year ending December 31, 2025. The enactment of the OBBBA resulted in a material impact to the Company’s current and deferred income tax balances reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and income statement for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The net operating loss partially offset previously recorded deferred tax balances, resulting in a net decrease of $8.5 million in deferred tax liabilities as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024.

The effects of the OBBBA have been reflected in the Company’s current and deferred tax calculations as of September 30, 2025, in accordance with ASC 740-10-45-15, which requires the Company to recognize the impact of enacted changes in tax laws on both current tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period of enactment, and to provide sufficient disclosure so that users of the financial statements understand the effect of such changes on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

NOTE J: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable equity securities, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and borrowings.

The Company follows the guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. This guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date and also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

	Level 1:		Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	Level 2:		Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable; or other inputs not directly observable, but derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

	Level 3:		Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2025, the following items are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Total

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

(in thousands)

Marketable equity securities

4846,~~384~~802

The Company’s investments in marketable securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of other financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

The carrying amount for the line of credit approximates fair value because the line of credit interest rate is adjusted frequently.

For long-term debt other than the lines of credit, the fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying value and estimated fair value of this other long-term debt at ~~June~~September 30, 2025 was as follows:

	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
	(in thousands)
Long-term debt	$	~~331~~342,~~233~~427	$	~~331~~340,~~233~~931

The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its financial instruments.

NOTE K: NOTES PAYABLE

During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025, the Company’s subsidiaries entered into installment obligations totaling approximately $4576.53 million for the purpose of purchasing revenue equipment and other assets. These obligations are payable in monthly installments and are recorded in long-term debt and current maturities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The terms of these obligations range from 60 to 84 months.

NOTE L: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are involved in certain claims and pending litigation arising from the ordinary conduct of business. We also provide accruals for claims within our self-insured retention amounts. Since September 1, 2020, we have been self-insured for certain layers of auto liability claims in excess of $2.0 million. We currently specifically reserve for claims that are expected to exceed $2.0 million when fully developed, based on the facts and circumstances of those claims. Based on our knowledge of the facts, and in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, we believe the resolution of such claims and pending litigation will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, if we experience claims that are not covered by our insurance or that exceed our estimated claim reserve, it could increase the volatility of our earnings and have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

During the first six months of 2025, we maintained a revolving line of credit with a borrowing limit of $60.0 million that contains certain restrictive covenants, which must be maintained by the Company on a consolidated basis. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company must maintain a debt to adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, excluding gains/losses on equity securities and extraordinary items, calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis) ratio of less than 4.00 to 1.00 as of the end of each calendar quarter. 13

As of June 30, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with this financial covenant. The elevated debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was primarily the result of increased funded debt related to the purchase of $144.2 million of revenue equipment during 2024, most of which was financed, combined with a decrease in trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA due to the phasing out of earlier, more favorable quarters from the rolling four-quarter calculation. The loan agreement provides a 45-day cure period for financial covenant violations, during which the Company is not deemed to be in default of the loan agreement. On August 7, 2025, within the permitted cure period, the Company received a written waiver from the lender for the covenant violation applicable to the period ended June 30, 2025. As a result of the waiver, the Company was not in default under the terms of the credit facility as of June 30, 2025 or as of the date of this filing. The Company is in compliance with all other covenants under the agreement.

At June 30, 2025 we had no outstanding borrowings against the line of credit and approximately $0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, with availability to borrow $59.8 million.

NOTE M: LEASES

The Company currently leases shop, office and parking spaces in various locations in the United States and Mexico. The initial term for the majority of these leases is one year or less, with an option for early cancellation and an option to renew for subsequent one- month periods. These leases can be terminated by either party by providing notice to the other party of the intent to cancel or to not extend. Relatively short lease durations for these properties are intended to provide flexibility to the Company as changing operational needs and shifting opportunities often result in cancellation or non-renewal of these leases by the Company or the lessor.

The initial lease term for certain shop and office locations is for periods ranging from one to five years with early cancellation options. The Company prefers that leases include early cancellation provisions to prevent becoming locked into long-term leases that become operationally unjustified and to allow the flexibility to pursue more cost-effective options for similar properties if they become available. These leases often include the option to extend for additional periods, which may or may not be exercised. Based on historical experience, the Company does not always extend these leases, sometimes exercises the option to cancel leases early and sometimes lessors choose to cancel leases or not extend.

The Company leases trucks to owner-operators under our lease-to-own program. We also lease dock space to a related party at our Laredo, Texas terminal.

Right-of-Use Leases

~~In May~~The ~~2025, the~~ Company ~~entered~~is ~~into~~party to an operating lease ~~for~~with ~~shop and office space for an~~ initial ~~term~~terms of three years ~~that~~and does not provide an option for early cancellation. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 842, this lease resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability of $0.98 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2025. These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of the respective dates of lease inception, as the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable. The right-of-use assets are recorded in other assets, and the lease liability is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities and in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at ~~June~~September 30, 2025. Lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in rent and purchased transportation in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. While ~~these~~this lease ~~agreements~~agreement may contain provisions to extend after the initial term for an additional five years, the Company is not reasonably certain these extension options will be exercised. Therefore, potential lease payments that might occur under this extension period are not included in amounts recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of ~~June~~September 30, 2025.

The Company leases trucks to owner-operators under operating leases, which generally have a term of up to five years and include options to purchase the truck at the end of the lease. In the event that an owner-operator defaults on their lease, the Company generally leases the truck to another independent contractor.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2025, the gross carrying value of trucks underlying these leases was $67.53 million and accumulated depreciation was $3336.91 million. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the equipment, down to an estimated salvage value. In most cases, the Company has agreements in place with certain manufacturers whereby salvage values are guaranteed by the manufacturer. In other cases, where salvage values are not guaranteed, estimates of salvage value are based on the expected market values of equipment at the time of disposal. During the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $2.4 million of depreciation expense for these assets.

The Company leases dock space to a related party at our Laredo, Texas, terminal. The dock space is depreciated in conjunction with the structures and improvements for the entire Laredo terminal on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Lease income is recorded as a component of non-operating income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE N: NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

The Company financed approximately $1546.53 million in equipment purchases during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025 utilizing noncash financing, compared to approximately $3975.90 million during the same period of 2024.

~~NOTE O: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS~~ 15

On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” was enacted into law. Among other provisions, the legislation reinstates 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying property placed in service after December 31, 2024, and modifies the limitation on business interest expense under Internal Revenue Code Section 163(j) to be based on 30% of adjusted taxable income determined using an EBITDA measure, rather than EBIT. These provisions are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, and therefore apply to the Company’s 2025 tax year.

As the legislation was enacted after the balance sheet date, its provisions did not impact the Company’s income tax provision or financial position as of June 30, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new law on its income tax position, cash flows, and financial statements for the remainder of 2025 and future periods.

Based on a preliminary assessment, the Company expects the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation and the revised business interest limitation to accelerate tax deductions in the second half of 2025. These changes are expected to reduce the Company’s estimated income tax payable recorded as of June 30, 2025 by approximately $4.5 million, resulting in the recognition of a net tax receivable and a corresponding increase in deferred tax liabilities of approximately $4.5 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The Company is a holding company that owns subsidiaries engaged in providing truckload dry van carrier services transporting general commodities throughout the continental United States, as well as in certain Canadian provinces. The Company’s consolidated operating subsidiaries also provide transportation services in Mexico through its gateways in Laredo and El Paso, Texas under agreements with Mexican carriers. Unless the context otherwise requires, this report presents information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Company’s administrative headquarters are in Tontitown, Arkansas. From this location we manage operations conducted through our wholly owned subsidiaries based in various locations around the United States and in Mexico and Canada.

The operations of these subsidiaries can generally be classified into either truckload services or brokerage and logistics services. This designation is based primarily on the ownership of the asset that performed the freight transportation service. Truckload services are performed by Company divisions that generally utilize Company-owned trucks, long-term contractors, or single-trip contractors to transport loads of freight for customers, while brokerage and logistics services coordinate or facilitate the transport of loads of freight for customers and generally involve the utilization of single-trip contractors.

The operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are all in the motor carrier segment and are aggregated into a single reporting segment in accordance with the aggregation criteria under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The Company has carefully considered the segment reporting requirements under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280 and has determined that both our truckload operations and our brokerage/logistics operations have similar qualitative and quantitative economic characteristics and are impacted by virtually the same economic factors, such as rates per mile, equipment utilization and the percentage of non-compensated miles. Based on the Company’s segment identification, interpretation of the aggregation criteria outlined in ASC 280-10-50-11, and the similar qualitative and quantitative economic characteristics of the Company’s operating segments, the operations of the Company is aggregated into a single motor carrier segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, utilizes the metrics of net income and operating ratio to evaluate company performance and in competitive analysis when comparing to competing companies.

Truckload services revenues, excluding fuel surcharges, represented 6968.46% and 6668.58% of total revenues, excluding fuel surcharges, for the quarters ended ~~June~~September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The remaining operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the same periods were generated from brokerage and logistics services, representing 3031.64% and 3331.52%, respectively.

The main factors that impact our profitability on the expense side are the costs incurred in transporting freight for our customers. Currently, our most challenging costs include capital equipment, wage and benefits costs, driver recruitment, training, independent broker costs (which we record as purchased transportation), maintenance, fuel and insurance costs.

In discussing our results of operations, we use revenue, before fuel surcharge (and fuel expense, net of fuel surcharge), because management believes that eliminating the impact of this sometimes volatile source of revenue allows a more consistent basis for comparing our results of operations from period to period. During the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately $17.3 million and $2221.78 million, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue was generated from fuel surcharges. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately $3653.03 million and $4466.41 million, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue was generated from fuel surcharges. We may also discuss certain changes in our expenses as a percentage of revenue, before fuel surcharge, rather than absolute dollar changes. We do this because we believe the variable cost nature of certain expenses makes a comparison of changes in expenses as a percentage of revenue more meaningful than absolute dollar changes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – TRUCKLOAD SERVICES

The following table sets forth, for truckload services, the percentage relationship of expense items to operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the periods indicated. Fuel costs are reported net of fuel surcharges.

THREE MONTHS ENDED ~~JUNE~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED ~~JUNE~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

During the ~~second~~third quarter of 2025, truckload services revenue, before fuel surcharges, decreased 1217.96% to $9291.82 million as compared to $~~106~~110.6 million during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2024. The decrease relates primarily to ~~an 11~~a 10.97% decrease in total miles travelled from 4546.85 million for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2024 to 4041.45 million for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2025 and to a 2.4% decrease in our rate per mile, from $2.0910 for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2024 to $2.0406 for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2025. The reduction in total miles was primarily driven by a 10.70% reduction in the average number of trucks operated while the average miles driven by each truck for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2025 compared to the ~~second~~third quarter of 2024 remained relatively flat. The reduction in truck count and miles is a result of the ongoing freight recession, characterized by an oversupply of available trucks in the market compared to available freight.

Salaries, wages and benefits increased from 38.62% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2024 to 4140.79% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2025. The percentage-based increase relates primarily to the interaction of a decrease in operating revenues with the fixed-cost nature of employing human capital.

Operating supplies and expenses increased from 11.57% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2024 to 12.36% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2025. The increase relates primarily to the interaction of expenses with fixed-cost characteristics, such as rents, driver training schools and operating taxes and licenses with a decrease in revenue.

Table of Contents

Rent and purchased transportation increased from 26.7% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the second quarter of 2024 to 30.2% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a quarter-over-quarter increase in the percentage of miles driven by third-party owner-operators as opposed to company-employed drivers.

Depreciation increased from 17.3% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the second quarter of 2024 to 23.0% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the second quarter of 2025. The increase is primarily attributed to management’s change in accounting estimates related to the salvage values and useful lives of revenue equipment during the year ended December 31, 2024. During 2024, the Company conducted a review of its revenue equipment and determined that changes in market conditions and expected asset usage warranted a revision to the estimated useful lives and salvage values of certain equipment. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reduced the estimated useful lives of its trailer equipment and lowered the estimated salvage values of revenue equipment to better reflect their expected residual values at the end of their service periods. This change in accounting estimates shortened the depreciable life and increased the depreciable base for a significant portion of the company’s revenue equipment, thus increasing future monthly depreciation expense for the affected assets. In addition to the effect from the Company’s previous change in accounting estimate, the year-over-year increase can also be attributed to the interaction of a decrease in operating revenues with the fixed-cost nature of depreciation expense.

Gain on disposition of equipment increased from 0.1% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the second quarter of 2024 to 4.8% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the second quarter of 2025.The increase was primarily due to the disposition of revenue equipment effected by management’s change in accounting estimates related to the salvage value and useful lives of revenue equipment during the year ended December 31, 2024. The reduced estimated salvage values had a direct impact on gains recognized when disposing revenue equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Non-operating income increased from 0.1% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the second quarter of 2024 to 2.4% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by growth in the market value of our marketable equity securities as of June 30, 2025, compared to the same date in 2024.

Interest expense increased from 2.9% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the second quarter of 2024 to 4.2% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the second quarter of 2025. The increase is attributed to the Company’s increased long-term debt from $266.0 million at June 30, 2024 to $331.2 million at June 30, 2025, coupled with an increase in interest rates as the Company’s weighted average interest rate increased from 4.55% in 2024 to 5.10% in 2025.

The truckload services division operating ratio, which measures the ratio of operating expenses, net of fuel surcharges, to operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, increased from 103.7% for the second quarter of 2024 to 112.5% for the second quarter of 2025.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, truckload services revenue, before fuel surcharges, decreased 11.3% to $185.3 million as compared to $208.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease relates primarily to a 9.3% decrease in total miles travelled from 89.9 million during the first six months of 2024 to 81.6 million for the first six months of 2025 and to a 2.8% decrease in our rate per mile, from $2.10 for the first six months of 2024 to $2.04 for the first six months of 2025. The reduction in total miles was primarily driven by a 7.2% reduction in the average number of trucks operated while the average miles driven by each truck remained relatively flat when comparing the six months ending June 30, 2025 to the six months ending June 30, 2024. The reduction in truck count and miles is a result of the ongoing freight recession, characterized by an oversupply of available trucks in the market compared to available freight.

Salaries, wages and benefits increased from 39.5% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, in the first six months of 2024 to 41.5% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first six months of 2025. The percentage-based increase relates primarily to the interaction of a decrease in operating revenues with the fixed-cost nature of employing human capital.

Operating supplies and expenses increased from 12.0% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, in the first six months of 2024 to 12.9% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first six months of 2025. The increase relates primarily to the interaction of expenses with fixed-cost characteristics, such as rents, driver training schools and operating taxes and licenses with a decrease in revenue.

Rent and purchased transportation increased from 24.5% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, in the first six months of 2024 to 28.0% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first six months of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a quarter-over-quarter increase in the percentage of miles driven by third-party owner-operators as opposed to company-employed drivers.

The truckload services division operating ratio, which measures the ratio of operating expenses, net of fuel surcharges, to operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, increased from 100.5% for the third quarter of 2024 to 106.7% for the third quarter of 2025.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, truckload services revenue, before fuel surcharges, decreased 13.4% to $276.4 million as compared to $319.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease relates primarily to an 11.8% decrease in total miles travelled from 139.5 million during the first nine months of 2024 to 123.1 million for the first nine months of 2025 and to a 2.6% decrease in our rate per mile, from $2.10 for the first nine months of 2024 to $2.05 for the first nine months of 2025. The reduction in total miles was primarily driven by an 8.1% reduction in the average number of trucks operated while the average miles driven by each truck remained relatively flat when comparing the nine months ending September 30, 2025 to the nine months ending September 30, 2024. The reduction in truck count and miles is a result of the ongoing freight recession, characterized by an oversupply of available trucks in the market compared to available freight.

Salaries, wages and benefits increased from 39.0% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, in the first nine months of 2024 to 41.3% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2025. The percentage-based increase relates primarily to the interaction of a decrease in operating revenues with the fixed-cost nature of employing human capital.

Operating supplies and expenses increased from 11.9% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, in the first nine months of 2024 to 12.8% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2025. The increase relates primarily to the interaction of expenses with fixed-cost characteristics, such as rents, driver training schools and operating taxes and licenses with a decrease in revenue.

Rent and purchased transportation increased from 25.3% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, in the first nine months of 2024 to 27.4% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a year-over-year increase in the percentage of miles driven by third-party owner-operators as opposed to company-employed drivers.

Depreciation increased from 17.1% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2024 to 22.7% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2025. The increase is primarily attributed to management’s change in accounting estimates related to the salvage values and useful lives of revenue equipment during the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition to the effect from the Company’s previous change in accounting estimate, the year-over-year increase can also be attributed to the interaction of a decrease in operating revenues with the fixed-cost nature of depreciation expense.

Gain on disposition of equipment increased from 0.0% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2024 to 4.1% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2025. The increase was primarily due to the disposition of revenue equipment effected by management’s change in accounting estimates related to the salvage value and useful lives of revenue equipment during the year ended December 31, 2024. The reduced estimated salvage values had a direct impact on gains recognized when disposing revenue equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Table of Contents

Non-operating income increased from 2.3% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2024 to 2.6% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2025. Although gains on marketable equity securities were relatively consistent year over year, the increase in non-operating income as a percentage of revenue reflects lower operating revenues in 2025 compared to the prior-year period.

Interest expense increased from 2.6% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2024 to 4.4% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2025. The increase is attributed to the Company’s increased long-term debt from $288.7 million at September 30, 2024 to $342.4 million at September 30, 2025, coupled with an increase in interest rates as the Company’s weighted average interest rate increased from 4.73% in 2024 to 5.19% in 2025.

The truckload services division operating ratio, which measures the ratio of operating expenses, net of fuel surcharges, to operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, increased from 102.8% for the first nine months of 2024 to 110.0% for the first nine months of 2025.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – LOGISTICS AND BROKERAGE SERVICES

The following table sets forth, for logistics and brokerage services, the percentage relationship of expense items to operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the periods indicated.

THREE MONTHS ENDED ~~JUNE~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED ~~JUNE~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

During the ~~second~~third quarter of 2025, logistics and brokerage services revenue, before fuel surcharges, decreased 2316.68% to $41.08 million as compared to $5350.72 million during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily related to a 3328.78% decrease in the number of brokered loads during the ~~second~~third quarter 2025 as compared to 2024.

18 Rents and purchased transportation increased from 86.8% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the third quarter of 2024 to 90.2% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the third quarter of 2025. The increase results from paying third-party carriers a larger percentage of customer revenue.

The logistics and brokerage services division operating ratio, which measures the ratio of operating expenses, net of fuel surcharges, to operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, increased from 94.3% for the third quarter of 2024 to 99.1% for the third quarter of 2025.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

During the first nine months of 2025, logistics and brokerage services revenue, before fuel surcharges, decreased 21.9% to $127.0 million as compared to $162.6 million during the first nine months of 2024. The decrease was primarily related to a 29.8% decrease in the number of brokered loads during the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the first nine months of 2024.

Rents and purchased transportation increased from 86.4% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2024 to 89.4% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2025. The increase results from paying third-party carriers a larger percentage of customer revenue.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – COMBINED SERVICES

THREE MONTHS ENDED ~~JUNE~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED ~~JUNE~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

Net loss for all divisions was approximately $95.6 million, or 74.2% in excess of revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2025 as compared to net ~~loss~~income of $2.94 million, or 1.85% ~~in excess~~ of revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2024.

~~SIX~~NINE MONTHS ENDED ~~JUNE~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 VS. ~~SIX~~NINE MONTHS ENDED ~~JUNE~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

For the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025, net loss for all divisions was approximately $1723.84 million, or 65.68% in excess of revenues, before fuel surcharges as compared to net loss of $20.62 million, or 0.81% in excess of revenues, before fuel surcharges for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2024. The decrease in net income resulted in a diluted loss per share of $01.8310 for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025 as compared to diluted loss per share of $0.1201 for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2024.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our business has required, and will continue to require, a significant investment in new revenue equipment. Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations, proceeds from the sales of revenue equipment, borrowings under our lines of credit, installment notes, investment margin account, and issuances of equity securities.

During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025, we generated $1723.21 million in cash from operating activities. Investing activities generated $721.79 million in cash in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025. Financing activities used $2444.04 million in cash in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025.

Our primary use of funds is for the purchase of revenue equipment. We typically use installment notes with fixed interest rates and terms ranging from 36 to 84 months, our existing line of credit on an interim basis, proceeds from the sale or trade of equipment, and cash flows from operations to finance capital expenditures and repay long-term debt. During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025, we utilized cash on hand and long-term debt to finance purchases of revenue equipment and other assets of approximately $1821.16 million. In addition, we acquired approximately $46.3 million of revenue equipment through vendor-direct financing arrangements. These non-cash financing arrangements provide an additional source of liquidity for acquiring new equipment but do not result in cash inflows or outflows and, accordingly, are not reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

During the remainder of 2025, we expect to purchase approximately ~~188~~94 new trucks and 650 new trailers while continuing to sell or trade older equipment, which we expect to result in net capital expenditures of approximately $2533.10 million.

On April 3, 2025, we commenced a tender offer to repurchase up to 435,000 shares of our outstanding common stock at a price of not greater than $17.00 nor less than $14.00 per share. On April 11, 2025, we amended the terms of the tender offer to increase the minimum purchase price for shares purchased in the tender offer to $14.50 per share. Following the expiration of the tender offer on May 1, 2025, we accepted 870,000 shares of our common stock for purchase at $17.00 per share, at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $14.8 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the offer. The number of shares we purchased reflects our right to purchase additional shares in the tender offer up to an additional 2% of our outstanding shares. We funded the purchase of the accepted shares tendered with available cash.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings to finance our growth and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025, we maintained a revolving line of credit with a borrowing limit of $60.0 million. Under this credit facility, amounts outstanding ~~under the line~~ bear interest at Term SOFR plus 13.8535% (67.2070% at ~~June~~September 30, 2025), are secured by our trade accounts receivable, and mature on July 1, 2027. The credit facility also establishes an “unused fee” of 0.25% if average borrowings are less than $18.0 million. At ~~June~~September 30, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings ~~against~~under the line of credit and approximately $0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, with availability to borrow $59.8 million.

~~The~~Prepaid ~~loan~~expenses ~~agreement requires us to maintain a debt to adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,~~ and ~~amortization,~~deposits ~~excluding~~decreased ~~gains~~from ~~and~~$11.6 ~~losses~~million onat ~~equity~~December ~~securities and extraordinary items~~31, ~~calculated~~2024 ~~on a rolling four-quarter basis) ratio of less than 4.00~~ to 1$8.000 asmillion ofat ~~the~~September ~~end of each calendar quarter. As of June~~ 30, 2025~~, we were not in compliance with this financial covenant~~. The elevated debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was primarily the result of increased funded debt related to the purchase of $144.2 million of revenue equipment during 2024, most of which was financed, combined with a decrease inrelates ~~trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA due~~ to the ~~phasing~~normal ~~out~~amortization of ~~earlier,~~items ~~more~~prepaid ~~favorable~~as ~~quarters from the rolling four-quarter calculation. The agreement provides a 45-day cure period for financial covenant violations, during which we are not deemed to be in default~~ of ~~the~~December ~~loan agreement. On August 7~~31, ~~2025, within the permitted cure period, we received a written waiver from the lender for the covenant violation applicable to the period ended June 30, 2025~~2024. ~~We remain in compliance with all other covenants under the agreement as of the date of this filing.~~

We are currently working with the lender to amend the financial covenant terms of the agreement on a prospective basis and anticipate having a revised covenant metric in place prior to the end of the quarter, ending September 30, 2025. However, we cannot guarantee that we will reach an agreement with the lender to revise this metric for future quarters on terms favorable to us or at all. If we are unable to reach an agreement with the lender to revise the financial covenant and do not meet the current covenant as of September 30, 2025, we would need to seek an additional waiver from the lender or obtain an alternative source of funding to supplement our cash flows. While we have not borrowed any funds under the line of credit during 2025, any failure to meet this covenant in a future quarter or obtain a waiver from the lender within the applicable cure period would accelerate our payment obligations with respect to any future amounts that we may borrow under the credit facility and prevent us from making further borrowings under the facility, either of which could materially and adversely affect our future liquidity. 20

~~Prepaid~~ Table ~~expenses and deposits decreased from $11.6 million at December 31, 2024 to $8.5 million at June 30, 2025. The decrease relates to the normal amortization~~ of ~~items prepaid as of December 31, 2024.~~Contents

Our marketable equity securities portfolio grew $54.82 million during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025 from $42.6 million at December 31, 2024 to $4846.48 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2025. The increase was driven entirely by unrealized gains due to favorable market value changes in the underlying equity holdings.

Revenue equipment decreased from $733.2 million at December 31, 2024 to $~~672~~681.67 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to the disposition of aging trucks and trailers during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025, partially offset by purchases of new trucks and trailers during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025.

During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2025, ~~our~~the Company’s current income tax position ~~shifted~~remained ~~from~~ a net refundable asset of $2.35 million at ~~December~~September 3130, ~~2024~~2025 tocompared a net ~~payable~~refundable ~~liability~~asset of $12.83 million at June 30, 2025. This change was primarily driven by the reversal of previously recognized temporary differences, most notably those related to accelerated depreciation. The transition was expected and reflects the normal timing of cash tax obligations in relation to book-tax differences. In connection with these reversals, our deferred income tax liability also decreased from $92.5 million at December 31, 2024 ~~to $81~~.8 ~~million~~The atrefundable ~~June~~current ~~30,~~tax ~~2025.~~asset ~~The~~is ~~reduction~~a ~~primarily~~product ~~reflects the realization~~ of ~~deferred~~significant ~~tax~~temporary ~~liabilities~~differences ~~established~~recognized in ~~prior periods for~~ the ~~same~~current ~~temporary differences~~year, most notably those related to accelerated depreciation.

Long-term debt and current maturities of long term-debt are reviewed on an aggregate basis, as the classification of amounts in each category are typically affected merely by the passage of time. Long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt, on an aggregate basis, increased from $325.6 million at December 31, 2024 to $342.4 million at September 30, 2025. The increase was attributed entirely to the financing of additional revenue equipment during the first nine months of 2025.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Our primary market risk exposures include equity price risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk (the price paid to obtain diesel fuel for our trucks), and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The potential adverse impact of these risks is discussed below. While the Company has used derivative financial instruments in the past to manage its interest rate and commodity price risks, the Company does not currently enter into such instruments for risk management purposes or for speculation or trading.

The following sensitivity analyses do not consider the effects that an adverse change may have on the overall economy, nor do they consider additional actions we may take to mitigate our exposure to such changes. The actual results of changes in prices or rates may differ materially from the hypothetical results described below.

Equity Price Risk

We hold certain actively traded marketable equity securities, which subjects the Company to fluctuations in the fair market value of its investment portfolio based on the current market price of such securities. The recorded value of marketable equity securities increased to $4846.48 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2025 from $42.6 million at December 31, 2024. A 10% decrease in the market price of our marketable equity securities would cause a corresponding 10% decrease in the carrying amounts of these securities, or approximately $4.87 million. For additional information with respect to the marketable equity securities, see Note D to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk

Our line of credit bears interest at a floating rate equal to SOFR plus a fixed percentage. Accordingly, changes in SOFR, which are affected by changes in interest rates, or a change to a new index rate, will affect the interest rate on, and therefore our costs under the line of credit. Assuming $12.0 million of variable rate debt was outstanding under our line of credit for a full fiscal year, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in SOFR would result in approximately $120,000 of additional interest expense.

Commodity Price Risk

Prices and availability of all petroleum products are subject to political, economic, and market factors that are generally outside of our control. Accordingly, the price and availability of diesel fuel, as well as other petroleum products, can be unpredictable. Because our operations are dependent upon diesel fuel, significant increases in diesel fuel costs could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Based upon our 2024 fuel consumption, a 10% increase in the average annual price per gallon of diesel fuel would increase our annual fuel expenses by $6.4 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to the activities of our branch office located in Mexico. Currently, we do not hedge our exchange rate exposure through any currency forward contracts, currency options, or currency swaps as all of our revenues, and substantially all of our expenses and capital expenditures, are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, certain operating expenditures and capital purchases related to our Mexico branch office are incurred in or exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Mexican peso. Based on 2024 expenditures denominated in pesos, a 10% increase in the exchange rate would increase our annual operating expenses by $0.9 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on management’s evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are involved in certain claims and pending litigation arising from the ordinary conduct of business. We also provide accruals for claims within our self-insured retention amounts. We currently self-insure for certain layers of auto liability claims in excess of $2.0 million. Specifically, we reserve for claims that are expected to exceed $2.0 million when fully developed, based on the facts and circumstances of those claims. Based on our knowledge of the facts, and in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, we believe the resolution of such claims and pending litigation will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, if we experience claims that are not covered by our insurance or that exceed our estimated claim reserve, it could increase the volatility of our earnings and have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A to Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The imposition of tariffs on Mexico, Canada and other countries, and any retaliatory actions by such countries, may have a negative impact on our operations and profitability.

The United States has recently initiated implementation of significant new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, China and other countries, and a number of these countries have announced or initiated retaliatory tariffs on exports from the United States. While certain tariffs have been suspended and/or modified on more than one occasion, the outlook remains uncertain as to what tariffs may ultimately be implemented and for how long they may be in effect. Additionally, it is uncertain the extent to which resulting retaliatory tariffs on U.S. exports may ultimately be imposed by other countries and for how long they may be in effect. There is the potential that any tariffs that have been or may be implemented could adversely affect our business operations and financial results. In particular, the imposition and enforcement of tariffs on goods imported from Mexico or Canada, or vice versa, could adversely affect our business operations and financial results because of our business in those countries. A significant portion of our business is dependent on the automotive manufacturing industry and its suppliers, which have substantial operations in Mexico and Canada. Any increases in current tariffs or the implementation of new tariffs could lead to higher costs and reduced availability and consumer demand for automotive and other products sold by our customers that are imported or exported to or from the United States. This, in turn, may result in reduced demand for our transportation services, particularly our cross-border and Mexico freight business, as customers seek to mitigate increased expenses by reducing production, sourcing components from alternative locations, or modifying their supply chain strategies. This could reduce the volume of goods transported by us, thereby affecting our operational efficiency and financial performance. In addition to the direct impact on our customers, the broader economic implications of tariffs could lead to further fluctuations in cross-border or general freight volumes and affect our operations and our ability to maintain consistent service levels. Any such disruptions could necessitate adjustments in our operational strategies, increase our costs and negatively impact our revenue and profitability.

Repurchases of Equity Securities

The Company’s stock repurchase program has been extended and expanded several times, most recently in July 2023, when the Board of Directors reauthorized 500,000 shares of common stock for repurchase under the initial September 2011 authorization. Since the reauthorization, the Company has repurchased 25,984 shares of its common stock under this repurchase program.

OnNo ~~April~~shares 3,were ~~2025,~~repurchased ~~the~~under ~~Company commenced a tender offer to repurchase up to 435,000 shares of~~ the Company’s ~~outstanding common~~ stock at a price of not greater than $17.00 nor less than $14.00 per share. On April 11, 2025, the Company amended the terms of the tender offer to increase the minimum purchase price for shares purchased in the tender offer to $14.50 per share. Following the expiration of the tender offer on May 1, 2025, the Company accepted 870,000 shares of its common stock for purchase at $17.00 per share, at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $14.8 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the offer. The number of shares purchased by the Company reflects the Company’s right to purchase additional shares in the tender offer up to an additional 2% of its outstanding shares.
