GXO Logistics, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of GXO Logistics, Inc. (“GXO” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of GXO and its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).

The Company presents its operations as one reportable segment.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The ASU applies only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. In 2021, the FASB expanded the scope of the guidance to include derivatives. In 2022, the FASB deferred the expiration date for Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, until December 31, 2024. On March 9, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to its revolving credit facility replacing LIBOR-based benchmark rates with SOFR-based benchmark rates and other conforming changes (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Company has transitioned its existing contracts to a replacement index. ASU 2020-04 and its amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Covenants and Compliance

The covenants in the unsecured notes, term loans and revolving credit facilities, which are customary for financings of this type, limit the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness and grant liens, among other restrictions. In addition, the facilities require the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio below a specified maximum.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in its debt and financing arrangements.

5. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The levels of inputs used to measure fair value are:

Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, generally utilizing pricing models or other valuation techniques that reflect management’s judgment and estimates.

Assets and liabilities

The Company bases its fair value estimates on market assumptions and available information. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current maturities of long-term debt approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, due to their short-term nature.

Financial Instruments
The Company directly manages its exposure to risks arising from business operations and economic factors, including fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage
11



the volatility related to these exposures. The objective of these derivative instruments is to reduce fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. The Company does not expect to incur any losses as a result of counterparty default.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and the related notional amounts were as follows:

(1) Net periodic pension income is recorded within Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company also maintains defined benefit pension plans for some of its foreign subsidiaries that are excluded from the disclosure due to their immateriality.

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company has defined contribution retirement plans for its U.S. employees and employees of certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s contributions for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, were $17 million and $14 million, respectively, and were primarily included in Direct operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

8. Restructuring Costs and Other

Restructuring costs are primarily related to severance, including projects to optimize finance, human resource and information technology functions, and are not associated with customer attrition.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, restructuring costs and other totaled $21 million and included severance charges of $15 million and impairment charges of $6 million as a result of closing certain corporate and administrative offices. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, restructuring costs and other totaled $13 million and included severance charges of $5 million and $8 million related to the deconsolidation of a joint venture.

The following is a roll forward of the restructuring liability, which is included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:
(In millions)
Balance as of December 31, 2022$13 
Charges incurred15 
Payments(8)
Balance as of March 31, 2023$20 

The remaining restructuring liability at March 31, 2023 primarily relates to severance payments and is expected to be substantially paid within the next twelve months.

9. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was 11.0 percent, a decrease from 22.1 percent in the prior year. The change in our effective tax rate was primarily driven by discrete tax benefits from the release of valuation allowances as it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.

14



As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had valuation allowances of $39 million and $44 million on its deferred income tax asset, respectively.

10. Acquisition

On May 24, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Clipper Logistics plc (“Clipper”), an omnichannel retail logistics specialist based in Leeds, England (the “Clipper Acquisition”). The Company acquired Clipper for $1,106 million, consisting of $902 million in cash and the issuance of 3,757,657 shares of GXO common stock having a value of $204 million.

The Company accounted for the Clipper Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on management’s estimate of the fair value using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

(2) Represents the fair value of the Company’s common stock issued.
15



(3) Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Goodwill acquired was recorded in the United Kingdom and Ireland reporting unit and was primarily attributed to anticipated synergies. The Company does not expect the goodwill recognized as a part of the acquisition of Clipper to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained and reviewed. The final allocation of the purchase price may differ from the preliminary allocation based on completion of the valuation. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation within the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to finalization of income taxes and goodwill.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of its business. These proceedings may include personal injury claims arising from the transportation and handling of goods, contractual disputes and employment-related claims, including alleged violations of wage and hour laws.

The Company establishes accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews and adjusts accruals for loss contingencies quarterly and as additional information becomes available. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, the Company assesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or discloses that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on management’s assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter.

Management of the Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. Management of the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which the Company is presently a party will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs incurred related to these matters are expensed as incurred.

The Company carries liability and excess umbrella insurance policies that are deemed sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting its operations. In the event the Company is required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively impacted.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other written reports and oral statements we make from time to time contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target,” “trajectory” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to a material difference include those discussed below and the risks discussed in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All forward-looking statements set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequence to or effects on the Company or its business or operations.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 16, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”), and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We provide our customers with high-value-add warehousing and distribution, order fulfillment, e-commerce, reverse logistics and other supply chain services differentiated by our ability to deliver technology-enabled, customized solutions at scale. Our customers rely on us to move their goods with high efficiency through their supply chains — from the moment inbound goods arrive at our warehouses, through fulfillment and distribution and the management of returned products. Our customer base includes many blue-chip leaders in sectors that demonstrate high growth and/or durable demand, with significant growth potential through customer outsourcing of logistics and warehousing services.

We strive to provide all of our customers with consistently high levels of service and cutting-edge automation. We also collaborate with our largest customers on planning and forecasting and assist with network optimization, working with these customers to design or redesign their supply chains to meet specific goals, such as environmental, social and governance. Our multidisciplinary, consultative approach has led to many of our key customer relationships extending for years and expanding in scope.

The most dramatic growth in secular demand in recent years has been in e-commerce and related sectors, including omnichannel retail and other direct-to-consumer channels. We expect to attract new customers and expand the services we provide to existing customers through new projects, thus earning more of their external and internal logistics spending. We use technology to manage advanced automation, labor productivity, sustainability, safety and the complex flow of goods within sophisticated warehouse environments.

Our business model is asset-light and historically resilient in cycles, with high returns, strong free cash flow and visibility into revenue and earnings. The vast majority of our contracts with customers are long-term in nature, and our facility lease arrangements generally align with contract length. The Company has both fixed-price contracts and cost-plus contracts. Most of our customer contracts contain both fixed and variable components. The fixed component is typically designed to cover facility, technology and equipment costs, while the variable component is determined based on expected volumes and associated labor costs. Under fixed-price contracts (closed book or hybrid contracts), the Company agrees to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent the Company’s actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, the Company will generate more or less profit. Cost-plus contracts, or open book contracts, provide for the payment of allowable costs incurred during the performance of the contract plus a specified margin.

On May 24, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Clipper Logistics plc (“Clipper”), an omnichannel retail logistics specialist based in Leeds, England (the “Clipper Acquisition”). Due to the Clipper Acquisition, comparisons in our results of operations between 2023 and 2022 are less meaningful.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by 12%, or $240 million, to $2.3 billion compared with $2.1 billion for the same period of 2022. The increase in 2023 compared to the prior period primarily reflects an increase of $224 million due to the Clipper Acquisition and growth in our business primarily driven by new contract implementations. Foreign currency movement decreased revenue by $100 million in 2023.

Direct operating expenses comprise both fixed and variable expenses and consist of operating costs related to our logistics facilities, including personnel costs, facility and equipment expenses, such as rent, utilities, equipment maintenance and repair, transportation costs, costs of materials and supplies and information technology expenses. Direct operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by 9%, or $158 million, to $1.9 billion compared with $1.7 billion for the same period in 2022. Direct operating expense increased primarily due to the Clipper Acquisition and growth in our business. As a percentage of revenue, direct operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was 82.0% compared with 83.9% for the same period in 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) primarily consists of salary and benefits for executive and administrative functions, professional fees and legal costs. SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by 36%, or $68 million, to $258 million compared with $190 million for the same period in 2022. SG&A increased due to the Clipper Acquisition and higher personnel costs, primarily for certain administrative functions, reflecting the growth in our business.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $7 million to $83 million compared with $76 million for the same period in 2022. Amortization expense was $17 million and $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to the Clipper Acquisition.

Transaction and integration costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $13 million compared with $19 million for the same period in 2022. Transaction and integration costs in the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 primarily relate to the Clipper Acquisition.

Restructuring costs are primarily related to severance, including projects to optimize finance, human resource and information technology functions, and are not associated with customer attrition. Restructuring costs and other for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $21 million compared with $13 million for the same period in 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company initiated a restructuring plan designed to centralize certain processes and standardize operating structures. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, restructuring costs and other included severance charges of $15 million and impairment charges of $6 million as a result of closing certain corporate and administrative offices. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, restructuring costs and other included severance charges of $5 million and $8 million related to the deconsolidation of a joint venture.

Other income decreased due to foreign currency movements and pension income. Other income, net was as follows:

Income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased to $29 million compared with $49 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to higher interest expense, lower pension income and a foreign currency loss, partially offset by higher operating income in 2023.

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $3 million compared with $11 million for the same period in 2022. Our effective tax rate was 11.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared with 22.1% for the same period in 2022. The change in our effective tax rate was primarily driven by discrete tax benefits from the release of valuation allowances as it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our ability to fund our operations and anticipated capital needs is reliant upon the generation of cash from operations, supplemented as necessary by periodic utilization of our Revolving Credit Facility. Our principal uses of cash in the future will be to fund our operations, working capital needs, capital expenditures, repayment of borrowings and strategic business development transactions. The timing and magnitude of our start-ups can vary and may positively or negatively impact our cash flows.

At March 31, 2023, we held cash and cash equivalents of $426 million, and we had $799 million of borrowing capacity available, net of letters of credit under our Revolving Credit Facility. On April 7, 2023, we repaid $35 million of our Two-Year Term Loan due 2024.

We continually evaluate our liquidity requirements and capital structure in light of our operating needs, growth initiatives and capital resources. We believe that our existing liquidity and sources of capital are sufficient to support our operations over the next 12 months.

Sales of Certain Receivables

We sell certain of our trade accounts receivables on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions under various factoring agreements. We account for these transactions as sales of receivables and present cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Information related to the trade receivables sold was as follows:

(1) The three months ended March 31, 2022 includes $124 million of cash provided by factoring programs, reduced by $118 million used in the securitization program that was terminated in the first quarter of 2022.

Covenants and Compliance

The covenants in the unsecured notes, term loans and revolving credit facilities, which are customary for financings of this type, limit the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness and grant liens, among other restrictions. In addition, the facilities require the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio below a specified maximum.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in its debt and financing arrangements.

Financial Condition

The following table summarizes our asset and liability balances:

Investing activities used $82 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared with $44 million used for the same period of 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we used $91 million of cash to purchase property and equipment and received $9 million of cash from sales of property and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we used $65 million of cash to purchase property and equipment, received $14 million from the release of an escrow related to the Kuehne + Nagel acquisition and received $3 million of cash from sales of property and equipment.

22



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk that may impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements due primarily to variable rate long-term debt obligations and fluctuations in certain foreign currencies. To reduce our exposure to market risk associated with interest and foreign currency exchange rate risks, we enter into various derivative instruments to hedge against such risk. There have been no material changes to our exposure from market risk for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from those previously disclosed in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contained in Part II, Item 7A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of March 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023 were effective as of such time such that the information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the design and implementation of internal controls related to the acquisition of Clipper Logistics plc, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
