Companywide, year-over-year, we grew revenue by 6% and adjusted EBITDA by 28%, excluding real estate gains in 2022.
“In North American LTL, we outperformed on every key operating metric. This includes fourth quarter yield growth, excluding fuel, of 10.3%, adjusted operating income growth of 51%, and adjusted operating ratio improvement of 380 basis points. Our tonnage per day was 2% higher than a year ago, with nearly 6% more shipments per day.
“Behind each of these gains is our LTL 2.0 growth plan and our commitment to provide premium customer service. In the fourth quarter, we improved our damage claims ratio to a new company record of 0.3%. The more service quality we deliver, the more value our customers realize from doing business with us. This dynamic is a key driver of our margin expansion.”
Harik continued, “It was gratifying to see our strategy take root in 2023, XPO’s first full year as a standalone LTL company in North America. Every positive trend in the business comes from our team’s strong execution. We’re excited to continue to capitalize on our momentum, while laying more groundwork for the years ahead."
Fourth Quarter Highlights
For the fourth quarter 2023, revenue was $1.94 billion, compared to $1.83 billion for the same period in 2022. The year-over-year increase in revenue was due primarily to higher yield, excluding fuel, and an increase in tonnage per day in the North American LTL segment, partially offset by lower fuel surcharge revenue.
Net income from continuing operations was $58 million for the fourth quarter, compared with a net loss of $36 million for the same period in 2022. Operating income was $119 million for the fourth quarter, compared with $4 million for the same period in 2022. Diluted earnings from continuing operations per share was $0.49 for the fourth quarter, compared with a loss per share of $0.31 for the same period in 2022.
Adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $93 million for the fourth quarter, compared with $113 million for the same period in 2022. Adjusted diluted earnings from continuing operations per share (“adjusted diluted EPS”), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $0.77 for the fourth quarter, compared with $0.98 for the same period in 2022.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $264 million for the fourth quarter, compared with $262 million for the same period in 2022. The fourth quarter 2022 included $55 million of real estate gains.
The company generated $251 million of cash flow from operating activities in the fourth quarter, and ended the quarter with $412 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, after $1.03 billion of net capital expenditures, including $878 million related to the acquisition of 28 service center locations.
Results by Business Segment
- North American Less-Than-Truckload (LTL): The segment generated revenue of $1.19 billion for the fourth quarter 2023, compared with $1.09 billion for the same period in 2022. On a year-over-year basis, shipments per day increased 5.7%, tonnage per day increased 2.0%, and yield, excluding fuel, increased 10.3%. Including fuel, yield increased 5.8%.
Operating income was $149 million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared with $152 million for the same period in 2022. Adjusted operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $160 million for the fourth quarter, compared with $106 million for the same period in 2022. Adjusted operating ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 86.5%, reflecting a year-over-year improvement of 380 basis points.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2023 was $233 million, compared with $232 million for the same period in 2022. The year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA was due primarily to higher yield, excluding fuel, and an increase in tonnage per day, partially offset by lower fuel surcharge revenue and pension income, as well as $55 million of gains from real estate sales in the 2022 period, compared with no gains in 2023. Excluding the impact of real estate sales, adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2023 increased by 32% year-over-year.
- European Transportation: The segment generated revenue of $753 million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared with $738 million for the same period in 2022.
Operating loss was $2 million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared with a loss of $60 million for the same period in 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA was $36 million for the fourth quarter, compared with $39 million for the same period in 2022.
- Corporate: The segment generated an operating loss of $28 million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared with a loss of $88 million for the same period in 2022. The year-over-year decrease in operating loss was due primarily to a $29 million reduction in transaction and integration costs and a $29 million reduction in restructuring costs as the company continues to rationalize corporate overhead. This was partially offset by an $8 million non-cash accrual in 2023 related to the expected resolution of a previously disclosed environmental matter.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was a loss of $5 million for the fourth quarter, compared with a loss of $9 million for the same period in 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP, which are set forth in the financial tables attached to this press release.
XPO’s non-GAAP financial measures in this press release include: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) on a consolidated basis and for corporate; adjusted EBITDA margin on a consolidated basis; adjusted EBITDA excluding gains on real estate transactions on a consolidated basis and for our North American Less-Than-Truckload segment; adjusted net income from continuing operations; adjusted diluted earnings from continuing operations per share (“adjusted diluted EPS”); adjusted operating income for our North American Less-Than-Truckload and European Transportation segments; and adjusted operating ratio for our North American Less-Than-Truckload segment.
We believe that the above adjusted financial measures facilitate analysis of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be reflective of, or are unrelated to, XPO and its business segments’ core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying businesses. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should only be used as supplemental measures of our operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA excluding gains on real estate transactions, adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio include adjustments for transaction and integration costs, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments as set forth in the attached tables. Transaction and integration adjustments are generally incremental costs that result from an actual or planned acquisition, divestiture or spin-off and may include transaction costs, consulting fees, stock-based compensation, retention awards, internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities) and certain costs related to integrating and converging IT systems. Restructuring costs primarily relate to severance costs associated with business optimization initiatives. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating XPO’s and each business segment’s ongoing performance.
We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin improve comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest and financing expenses), asset base (depreciation and amortization), goodwill impairment charge, tax impacts and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables that management has determined are not reflective of core operating activities and thereby assist investors with assessing trends in our underlying businesses. We believe that adjusted net income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted EPS improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the impact of certain costs and gains that management has determined are not reflective of our core operating activities, including amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, transaction and integration costs, restructuring costs and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables. We believe that adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the impact of certain transaction and integration costs and restructuring costs, as well as amortization expenses as set out in the attached tables.
