C.H. Robinson Reports 2026 First Quarter ResultsApril 29, 2026 4:05 PM
Business Wire
C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (“C.H. Robinson”) (Nasdaq: CHRW) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
First Quarter Highlights:
C.H. Robinson continues to deliver secular earnings growth driven by market share gains, disciplined revenue management, a cost of hire advantage versus the market, and evergreen productivity improvements fueled by its Lean AI strategy
North American Surface Transportation ("NAST") total volume was flat year-over-year compared to a 6.2% decline in the Cass Freight Shipment Index
NAST adjusted gross profit margin(1) held flat at 14.6% despite a significant increase in truckload spot market costs
Income from operations decreased 0.7% to $175.7 million
Adjusted income from operations(1) increased 5.6% to $195.9 million
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 9.9% to $1.22
Adjusted diluted EPS(1) increased 15.4% to $1.35
Cash generated by operations decreased by $37.9 million to $68.6 million, primarily due to unfavorable changes in net operating working capital caused by higher truckload prices
Cash returned to shareholders increased 105.6% to $359.8 million
(1) Adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted income from operations, and adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. The same factors described in this release that impacted these non-GAAP measures also impacted the comparable GAAP measures. Refer to pages 10 through 12 for further discussion and GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations.
"As has been widely discussed in recent months, the North American trucking market has entered a period of supply-driven tightening," said President and Chief Executive Officer, Dave Bozeman. "As that has occurred, we’ve heard old tapes being replayed regarding which transportation providers benefit most during certain parts of the truckload cycle. But those storylines don't fully appreciate the secular earnings growth that has consistently been generated at the new C.H. Robinson regardless of market conditions."
"The first quarter of 2026 was another example of this, and our adjusted earnings per share increased 15% year-over-year despite a significant increase in truckload spot market costs," Bozeman added. "We continued to outperform by opportunistically capturing transactional volumes at higher margins as the industry’s tender rejection rates increased, by continuing to exercise our disciplined revenue management practices, by repricing some of our contractual business in a very targeted fashion, and by continuing to widen our cost of hire advantage, all of which have improved as we implemented our Lean operating model. This enabled us to optimize our adjusted gross profit per truckload shipment and maintain our NAST gross margin despite having to absorb the elevated cost of capacity. Additionally, we gained market share in our NAST business for the 12th consecutive quarter, and we continued to deliver evergreen productivity improvements across our business."
"Over the past year, we’ve consistently said that we’re not immune to macroeconomic conditions or an inflection in spot costs, but that we are managing those conditions better than we have in the past and better than our competitors. Our first quarter performance puts another check mark on our say-do scorecard."
"Our ability to consistently outperform over the last two plus years is a result of focusing on controlling what we can control and the strength of our Lean AI strategy. Lean AI is our unique, disciplined approach to AI innovation that is transforming supply chains. It combines the principles of our Robinson operating model – rooted in Lean methodology – with the power of custom-built AI, and the expertise of our people, to maximize value, minimize waste, and drive better outcomes for customers and carriers. As we continue to purposefully engineer our work to drive higher automation, an industry-leading cost to serve and improved customer outcomes, all of this is aimed at building the best model for demonstrable outgrowth while continuing to have industry-leading operating margins."
"I’m proud of our employees for navigating ever-changing market conditions with discipline and ingenuity, and for embracing the culture shift that has fundamentally changed this company. As the pacesetter for innovation in our industry, we will continue to use our domain expertise to build technology that delivers on our customer promise and drives higher value for all our stakeholders," said Bozeman.
Summary of First Quarter of 2026 Results Compared to the First Quarter of 2025
Total revenues decreased 0.8% to $4.0 billion, primarily driven by lower volume in our ocean and truckload services and lower pricing in our ocean services. This was partially offset by higher pricing in our truckload and less than truckload ("LTL") services.
Gross profits decreased 1.6% to $646.6 million. Adjusted gross profits(1) decreased 1.9% to $660.5 million, primarily driven by lower adjusted gross profit per transaction and lower volume in our ocean services. This was partially offset by higher adjusted gross profit per transaction in our LTL services.
Operating expenses decreased 2.3% to $484.8 million. Personnel expenses increased 1.2% to $352.7 million, primarily due to higher restructuring charges related to workforce reductions. This was partially offset by cost optimization efforts and productivity improvements. Average employee headcount declined 12.3%. Other selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 10.6% to $132.1 million, primarily due to a prior year impairment charge on our Kansas City regional center lease resulting from the execution of a sublease agreement on a portion of the building. In addition, other SG&A expenses declined across several expense categories in 2026 due to cost optimization efforts.
Income from operations totaled $175.7 million, down 0.7% due to the decrease in adjusted gross profit and higher restructuring charges, partially offset by the decrease in operating expenses. Adjusted operating margin(1) of 26.6% increased 30 basis points.
Interest and other income/expense, net totaled $9.0 million of expense, consisting primarily of $14.0 million of interest expense, which decreased $2.8 million versus last year due to a lower average debt balance and lower variable interest rates. The first quarter of 2026 results also include a $1.7 million net gain from foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses.
The effective tax rate in the quarter was 11.7% compared to 13.7% in the first quarter of 2025. The lower rate in the first quarter of 2026 was driven by higher tax benefits related to stock-compensation deliveries, partially offset by non-recurring discrete items and lower U.S. and foreign tax credits and incentives.
Net income totaled $147.2 million, up 8.8% from a year ago. Diluted EPS of $1.22 increased 9.9%. Adjusted diluted EPS(1) of $1.35 increased 15.4%.
(1) Adjusted gross profits, adjusted operating margin and adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. The same factors described in this release that impacted these non-GAAP measures also impacted the comparable GAAP measures. Refer to pages 10 through 12 for further discussion and GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations.

First quarter Robinson Fresh adjusted gross profits decreased 0.4% to $37.5 million driven by margin compression in retail customers. Managed Solutions adjusted gross profits increased 6.3% due to an increase in freight under management.
Other Income Statement Items
Interest and other income/expense, net totaled $9.0 million of expense, consisting primarily of $14.0 million of interest expense, which decreased $2.8 million versus the first quarter of 2025 due to a lower average debt balance and lower variable interest rates. The first quarter of 2026 results also include a $1.7 million net gain from foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses.
The first quarter effective tax rate was 11.7%, down from 13.7% in the first quarter of 2025. The lower rate in the first quarter of 2026 was driven by higher tax benefits related to stock-compensation deliveries, partially offset by non-recurring discrete items and lower U.S. and foreign tax credits and incentives. For 2026, we expect our full-year effective tax rate to be 18% to 20%.
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the quarter were down 0.8% year-over-year.
Cash Flow Generation and Capital Distribution
Cash generated from operations totaled $68.6 million in the first quarter, compared to $106.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. The $37.9 million decrease in cash flow from operations was primarily related to a $62.4 million decrease in cash generated by changes in net operating working capital, due to a $73.5 million sequential increase in net operating working capital in the first quarter of 2026 compared to an $11.1 million sequential increase in the first quarter of 2025.
In the first quarter of 2026, cash returned to shareholders totaled $359.8 million, with $280.7 million in repurchases of common stock and $79.0 million in cash dividends.
Capital expenditures totaled $15.0 million in the quarter. Capital expenditures for 2026 are expected to be $75 million to $85 million.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
(unaudited, in thousands)
Our adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit excluding amortization of internally developed software utilized to directly serve our customers and contracted carriers. We believe adjusted gross profit is a useful measure of our ability to source, add value, and sell services and products that are provided by third parties, and we consider adjusted gross profit to be a primary performance measurement. Accordingly, the discussion of our results of operations often focuses on the changes in our adjusted gross profit. The reconciliation of gross profit to adjusted gross profit is presented below (in thousands):

Our adjusted operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income divided by adjusted gross profit. Our adjusted operating margin - excluding restructuring, lease impairment charge and/or loss on divestiture is a similar non-GAAP financial measure as adjusted operating margin, but also excludes the impact of restructuring, lease impairment, and/or loss from divestiture. We believe adjusted operating margin and adjusted operating margin - excluding restructuring, lease impairment charge and/or loss on divestiture are useful measures of our profitability in comparison to our adjusted gross profit, which we consider a primary performance metric as discussed above. The comparisons of operating margin to adjusted operating margin and adjusted operating margin - excluding restructuring, lease impairment charge and/or loss on divestiture are presented below:

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
(unaudited, in thousands)
Our adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted operating margin - excluding restructuring, lease impairment charge and/or loss on divestiture, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share (diluted) are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are calculated excluding the impact of restructuring, lease impairment, and/or loss from divestiture. We believe that these measures provide useful information to investors and include them within our internal reporting to our chief operating decision maker. Accordingly, the discussion of our results of operations includes discussion on the changes in our adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted operating margin - excluding restructuring, lease impairment charge and/or loss on divestiture, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share (diluted).
