Presentation Script and Slides

The following script should be read in conjunction with the accompanying slide presentation, which contains, among other information, source data for certain information set forth in the script.

Thank you for joining us. We’ll start with an overview of XPO Logistics today — our company, our technology and our value propositions for customers and investors. We’ll discuss our operations in depth, including our ability to outperform the market in any macro environment. And we’ll talk about our financial performance, including third quarter records for revenue, net income, EPS and adjusted EBITDA. Our organic revenue growth was a robust 10.5% for the quarter, and once again we grew profitability faster than revenue.

XPO is a top ten global logistics company with over $15 billion of revenue, operating as a highly integrated network of people, technology and physical assets. We use our network to help our customers manage their goods most efficiently throughout their supply chains. We run our business under the single brand of XPO Logistics.

As context, we have two reporting segments: transportation and logistics. Approximately 63% of our revenue comes from transportation. The other 37% is logistics, which we sometimes refer to as “supply chain” or “contract logistics.”

Our markets are highly diversified. The more than 50,000 customers we serve are in every major industry and touch every part of the economy. Our revenue derives from a mix of key verticals, such as retail and e-commerce, food and beverage, consumer packaged goods and industrial. About 60% of our revenue is generated in the United States, 13% comes from France and 12% from the United Kingdom. Of the balance, Spain is the next largest at 4% of revenue. In total, we operate in 32 countries with 1,529 locations and over 98,000 employees.

These are the key factors driving our high growth and returns:

1

We have an additional opportunity to increase our profitability through the cross-fertilization of best practices. This is already paying dividends, given the caliber of our operations on both sides of the Atlantic. We’re sharing knowledge across all of our service offerings and geographies, with an emphasis on high-impact areas such as customer service, sales, safety, warehouse management, cross-dock operations, equipment maintenance, training and HR. The veteran operators who lead our business units are adept at integrating these practices into daily operations.

Our sales strategy is two-fold: earn a greater share of wallet with our existing customer base and penetrate high-growth verticals where companies have a need for multiple XPO services. In the third quarter, we closed $918 million of new business — up 43% from a year ago — part of the record $3 billion of new business we won in the first nine months. We entered October with a companywide pipeline of $3.7 billion, a substantial increase of $400 million from the same point last year.

The sizable investments we’ve made in our sales organization are getting us in front of high-potential customers that can benefit from our capabilities. These customers are typically national and multinational companies. We’ve more than tripled the number of strategic account managers over the last two years, and in Europe, we’ve deepened our bench of senior-level sales talent, beefed up sales support, raised incentive compensation and invested in new training and analytics to drive cross-selling.

The one exception, in terms of customer size, is in less-than-truckload, where there’s also a significant opportunity with smaller, local accounts. We’ve hired over 200 sales associates and sales support personnel for our North American LTL organization, including 150 in the first six months of this year. These new hires have been trained in our LTL business and understand our optimal freight profile. We’re seeing positive impacts on our revenue and margin — our tonnage with higher-margin local accounts increased 3% in the quarter from a year ago.

We expect to deliver a robust 16% increase in adjusted EBITDA this year, compared with 2017. It helps to have a favorable macro environment, as has been the case in 2018, but importantly, we’re also making significant investments to drive organic growth. The vast majority of the benefit from these investments will come after 2018.

In addition to the expansion of our LTL sales organization, we completed the build-out of our last mile network to 85 North American hubs in September, one month ahead of schedule. This included our first hub in Canada. These are strategically located facilities that support pure-play last mile customers and XPO Direct fulfillment.

XPO Direct is our shared-space distribution network that serves omnichannel, e-commerce and manufacturing customers — we expanded it from 75 to 94 facilities in the third quarter, with at least two more sites opening this quarter. In addition, we’re expanding our contract logistics infrastructure with warehouse management software, automation and data-driven workforce planning tools. As we continue to develop our proprietary technology, our emphasis is on differentiation in the e-commerce, consumerization and digitalization spaces.

Company Overview

We’ve meticulously built XPO to provide exceptional value for customers while generating high returns for our shareholders. At the top of our value proposition is an intense customer service culture and a highly engaged employee base, led by best-in-class operators.

We offer an unmatched range of solutions for the efficient management of goods throughout the supply chain. Our business model is asset-light overall, with assets accounting for just under a third of revenue. Our estimated net capex for 2018 is 2.6% of revenue.

The assets we own or lease are critical components of the customer services we provide:

Our industry is large, growing and fragmented, with underpenetrated market sectors and trends toward outsourcing. Many companies are seeking to consolidate their supply chain relationships. This is particularly true of large companies with multiple end-markets or multinational footprints.

All of these industry attributes play directly to our strengths of scale, density, service range and technology. We offer not only the convenience of a single source, but also the strength and stability of a global leader. XPO is the:

In addition, we’re a global provider of managed transportation, and a global freight forwarder with an integrated network of ocean, air, ground and cross-border services.

Looking solely at the spaces where we already operate, we have a total addressable opportunity of $1 trillion or more. Now let’s take a deeper look into XPO, starting with our technology.

Transformative Technology

XPO empowers its employees to deliver world-class service through technology. We place massive importance on innovation because we believe that great technology in the hands of well-trained employees, propelled by scale, is the ultimate competitive moat in our industry. Our technology is purpose-built to continuously improve customer service, control costs and leverage our scale. This is a major reason why customers trust us with 160,000 ground shipments and more than 7 billion inventory units each day.

We spend more than $450 million a year on technology. We’ve built a highly scalable, cloud-based platform to speed innovation companywide, with a global team of over 1,700 technology professionals, including more than 100 data scientists. Our efforts are concentrated in four areas: automation and intelligent machines, dynamic data science, the digital freight marketplace, and visibility and customer service, specifically in the e-commerce supply chain.

The significant investments we’re making in technology are funding exciting developments. In October, we announced plans to deploy 5,000 additional robots throughout our logistics sites in North America and Europe. These are intelligent robots that collaborate with humans, designed to supplement our existing workforce and support future growth. Earlier this year, we launched a proprietary, cloud-based warehouse management platform that integrates robotics and other advanced automation very rapidly into our operations. It’s much more efficient than traditional warehouse management systems, particularly in multi-site and multi-channel environments. We’ve been able to accelerate ramp-up time on new projects for our customers.

In June, we announced a groundbreaking partnership with Nestlé, the world’s largest food and drink company, to co-create a 638,000-square-foot distribution center in the UK for Nestlé’s consumer packaged goods. We’re investing $77 million in this site, which is scheduled to open in 2020 and will feature advanced sorting systems and robotics alongside state-of-the-art automation, with a digital ecosystem that integrates predictive data and intelligent machines. It will house an XPO technology laboratory and operate as both a think tank and a launch pad for our innovations.

More broadly, in logistics, our warehouses are becoming high-tech hubs with collaborative robots, drones for inventory management and sophisticated analytics for demand forecasting. Our algorithms can predict the flow of goods and future returns, helping our e-commerce customers plan for peak inventory, capacity and labor levels. We recently started using dynamic analytics in our warehouses to optimize workforce productivity day by day and shift by shift. Our proprietary technology facilitates omnichannel distribution, lean manufacturing support, aftermarket support, supply chain optimization and transportation management.

In transportation, our XPO Connect digital freight marketplace is a landmark introduction. XPO Connect is a fully automated, self-learning and dynamic marketplace that connects shippers and carriers directly, as well as through XPO. It gives our customers direct access to our transportation network and the predictive data that powers it. The platform is designed to provide shippers with a single point of entry for visibility across multiple transportation modes in real time — they can see fluctuations in capacity, look at the spot rates by geography and post loads. Then they can also assign loads and track freight movements through one, secure login.

Carrier signups for XPO Connect went from zero to 6,000 in the first three months after the April launch. Now, six months in, we have more than 13,000 carriers on XPO Connect, and we expect the count to keep climbing fast. These are quality operators in our core network who are

opting in through our Drive XPO mobile app. They can bid on loads and reduce empty miles, which increases the capacity available to our customers. Drive XPO also serves as a geo-locator and supports voice-to-text communications. We’re rolling it out to our European brokerage network to deliver the same benefits to our customers there.

In last mile, our technology delivers a consistent consumer experience with superior satisfaction levels. The system gathers actionable, real-time feedback post-delivery to help our customers build loyalty. This protects the brands of our e-tail and retail customers.

A consumer who buys a large product from one of our customers online can track that order in real time using our web tools, Google Home or Amazon Echo. They can also request personalized alerts and reschedule delivery times electronically. We’re able to offer a tight delivery window, which is especially important with heavy goods, and our technology is geared to facilitate the most complex home installations. Later this quarter, we expect to roll out augmented reality functionality. It gives consumers the ability to create a virtual image of how an item will look in a given room prior to delivery. This makes the last mile process more efficient and decreases the likelihood of returns.

In LTL, we launched a next-generation web integration that gives shippers access to more capabilities without custom programming: delivery and pickup management tools, pricing and planning tools, and electronic document handling. This follows the deployment of 14,000 handhelds and inspection tablets for drivers and dockworkers to enhance productivity and revenue collection from accessorials and ancillary services. We also developed new RFP and pricing systems for LTL, with robust algorithms and profitability monitoring. Overall, we’ve improved the business intelligence we use internally for LTL pricing, workforce planning and network optimization.

Our most recent introduction is XPO Direct, a shared-space distribution network of warehouses and last mile hubs that gives our customers flexible capacity and helps them accelerate order fulfillment and time in transit. Our XPO Direct warehouses serve as stockholding sites and cross-docks that can be utilized by multiple customers at the same time. Transportation needs are supported by our brokered, contracted and owned capacity.

XPO Direct gives companies a way to manage B2C and B2B fulfillment using our scale and capacity, without the capital investment of adding distribution centers. Our North American footprint positions goods within one and two-day ground transportation range of 90% of the US population and in close proximity to retail stores for inventory replenishment. We expect to have close to 100 facilities in our XPO Direct network by year-end. XPO technology links these sites and can predict where stock should be positioned for the greatest efficiency.

The supply chain industry is wide open for disruptive thinking like this. Our position as a leading champion of technology has led to important new advantages for our customers. We’re constantly unearthing new efficiencies through advanced automation, consumerization and a whole raft of other innovations, some of which are customized for individual customers.

Logistics Operations

Contract Logistics

Contract logistics is an asset-light business characterized by long-term contractual relationships, low cyclicality and a high-value-add component that minimizes commoditization. It has low capex requirements as a percentage of revenue, which leads to strong free cash flow conversion and ROIC.

5

As the second largest logistics provider worldwide, we’re at the forefront of a $120 billion sector that’s estimated to grow at two to three times GDP. Our facility space has increased by 12% globally from this time last year. Our logistics footprint stands at a record 185 million square feet, making us particularly attractive to multinational customers. These large customers value our vertical expertise, technology and engineering capabilities. When we secure a new logistics contract, the initial tenure is approximately five years on average, with a historical renewal rate of over 95%. These relationships can lead to cross-selling and a wider use of our services, such as inbound and outbound logistics.

Our logistics teams provide a range of services to customers, including e-fulfillment and other types of contract logistics, highly engineered solutions and high-value-add services, such as order personalization and refurbishment. We also perform reverse logistics management, packaging and labeling, recycling, warranty management and distribution, and we collaborate with our larger customers to forecast demand and optimize production flows.

Our competitive positioning in logistics is as a technology leader. We’re innovative, fast-moving, and we can handle very complex, large contract logistics implementations. With robotics, for instance, we work with 29 of the top robotics companies in the world, culled from hundreds of suppliers we looked at.

Reverse logistics is a fast-growing area of contract logistics, and one where we have a high profile as a quality provider: we manage over 170 million returned units annually. It’s a complex service, requiring inspections, repackaging, refurbishment, resale or disposal, refunds and warranty management. Our technology is a major differentiator in this space. We’ve developed predictive analytics that use machine learning to forecast the future rate of returns by SKU number. That’s a high-value service for e-tailers, because consumers are increasingly test-driving the products they buy online.

Our biggest contract logistics win to date is an omnichannel reverse logistics facility we began ramping up in the second quarter. We’ve partnered with a large footwear and apparel customer to implement a 1.1 million square foot returns processing center in the US. The site has been custom-designed to drastically improve the processing time it takes to get products back into the supply chain once they’re returned through retail, wholesale and e-commerce channels. What used to take three to six months to turn around now takes five days, or just 24 hours for digital products. We’ve created the capacity to process 63 million returned units annually.

Many of our logistics customers are the preeminent names in retail and e-commerce, food and beverage, technology, aerospace, wireless, industrial and manufacturing, chemical, agribusiness, life sciences and healthcare. We also have strong positions in fast-growing sub-verticals: for example, XPO is the number one provider of fashion logistics in Italy. There are very few logistics companies with the breadth of vertical expertise we have — most of our competitors specialize in one or two verticals.

We also have complementary strengths in Europe and North America. For example, in Europe we’re a specialist in cold chain logistics, which includes some sectors that are less sensitive to economic cycles, such as food and beverage. Our European cold chain experts are helping us build this business in North America. In the US, we’re strong in aerospace and other high tech, which is opening new doors for us overseas.

6

We’ve built a global logistics pipeline of approximately $1.5 billion of active bids. A number of the wins we had in late 2017 began ramping up this year, along with some 2018 wins. We’ve implemented a record 90 customer contracts year-to-date through September: 46 in Europe and 44 in North America. The vast majority of these are front-loaded investments in long-term contractual relationships.

A large lever for cost savings in our warehouse operations is workforce productivity. Our operations performance team collaborates between North America and Europe to optimize our warehouses. The team is helping management at every site understand the gaps between average performance and great performance, and devise action plans for improvements. Our deployment of dynamic planning tools in our logistics sites is a good example of how we’re applying technology in this regard.

Transportation Operations

Our other segment — transportation — includes our lines for truck brokerage and transportation, LTL, last mile, intermodal, expedite and global forwarding.

Truck Brokerage and Transportation

XPO utilizes a blended transportation model of brokered, owned and contracted capacity for truck transportation. The non-asset portion of our model is variable cost and gives us extensive flexibility. It includes our brokerage operations, as well as contracted capacity with independent owner-operators.

Brokerage is compelling to us for a number of reasons. In addition to low fixed costs, it has high free cash flow conversion and minimal capex requirements, with tailwinds from outsourcing and supplier consolidation. Brokerage is also valuable to most of our customers who use XPO for other lines of business. Examples of brokered freight include industrial flows of raw materials and finished goods, consumer goods, sensitive or high-value freight, and freight that requires high security.

We’ve built a powerful truckload management system called Freight Optimizer that drives our brokerage operations in both North America and Europe. Our Drive XPO mobile app gives truck drivers a way to interact with Freight Optimizer from the road, locating loads and bidding to fill empty miles. The app also interacts with XPO Connect, our digital freight marketplace.

In North America, our brokerage network includes approximately 38,000 independent carriers representing over a million trucks. That’s critically important to shippers — they value our ability to find them capacity under all kinds of market conditions. When the truckload market is tight, as it has been for a while now, shippers are looking to guarantee capacity.

In Europe, the largest components of our transportation operations are LTL, dedicated transport and brokerage. These three service lines generate about 80% of our European transport EBITDA. We also have a non-dedicated truckload business that provides on-demand capacity for our customers.

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL)

LTL is a major success story for us in both North America and Europe. Our LTL business in North America is asset-based; it utilizes employee drivers, a fleet of tractors and trailers for line-

7

haul, pick-up and delivery of pallets, and a network of terminals. In Western Europe, where we’re a leading LTL provider, we use the optimal capacity model for each national market. In the UK, for example, we own the trucks and employ the drivers, whereas in Spain, we contract with independent carriers. We use a blended model in France. The independent carrier relationships are supported by our terminals and staff.

Our LTL team is laser-focused on on-time, damage-free performance. We have the second largest LTL network in the US, covering 99% of all zip codes, and one of the industry’s most modern fleets, delivering approximately 20 billion pounds of freight a year. We have approximately 20,000 LTL customers, and we’ve significantly increased the number of salespeople dedicated to serving and growing this base.

In North American LTL, in the third quarter, we realized an improvement of 220 basis points in adjusted operating ratio to 85.4%, versus 87.6% in 2017. We expect to comfortably meet our target range of 150 to 200 basis points of improvement for full year 2018. We’ve brought our LTL operation a long way forward since we acquired the business in late October 2015. When you compare the 12 months of 2015 with the trailing 12 months through September 30, 2018, we’ve more than doubled the LTL adjusted operating income in 35 months of ownership. The business is on track to generate over $1 billion of EBITDA within three years.

The $15 million we’ve invested in our LTL sales organization in North America is geared to accelerate growth in our local customer base and optimize our freight mix. We’re focused on profitable freight that matches our network for the long-term. As a result, we expect to see a meaningful ramp up in operating income growth this quarter. We also have initiatives underway to improve trailer utilization and become even more cost efficient at serving our LTL customers.

The next big efficiency for us in LTL is workforce utilization aligned with engineered standards. Our transformation and big data teams are using labor analytics to model an optimal solution for any given day based on the amount of work forecasted. They look at things like pick-up and delivery hours, dock hours, overtime, part-time labor and full-time labor. This is being executed in our European transport operations as well.

Last Mile Logistics

Last mile is an asset-light operation, and an exciting component of our service offering. We manage the final delivery of goods to homes using a network of contract carriers and white glove technicians for assembly and installation.

XPO is by far the largest facilitator for the home delivery of heavy goods in North America. Our last mile customers include most of the big-box retailers who sell heavy goods — items such as appliances, furniture, exercise equipment and large electronics. We expect to facilitate about 14 million last mile deliveries, assemblies and installations this year, and yet we hold just 7% share in the US last mile space.

Our last mile business is a powerful combination of expertise, technology and scale that generates industry-leading consumer satisfaction ratings. We use our proprietary, state-of-the-art technology to enable real-time performance monitoring: consumers are surveyed within minutes of delivery to capture feedback and escalate any issues for prompt resolution.

Our technology gives consumers a choice of self-service options while goods are in transit, including web-based tools and voice-activated connectivity with Google and Amazon intelligent assistants. The consumer can self-monitor an order and receive automated appointment

8

verifications by phone, email or text. Our last mile contract carriers are now using our XPO Connect platform to communicate with our last mile team, adding a new layer of efficiency. The result is a consistently best-in-class home delivery experience at a national level.

E-commerce is an immense tailwind for last mile, and one that’s predicted to grow globally at double-digit rates through at least 2025. Within e-commerce, there’s an ongoing shift toward customers buying large, heavy items online. Given our specialization in heavy goods, this represents tremendous growth potential for us now and over the long term.

We’re staying on top of that opportunity by deploying new technology tools for route planning to increase efficiency as our network grows in scale. We began 2018 with a plan to add 30 last mile hubs in North America, growing the network to 85 hubs. Now, all of these facilities are in place and operating. This positions our last mile footprint within 125 miles of approximately 90% of the US population. We estimate that the addition of those 30 hubs will lower our average cost of delivery by as much as 30% by reducing the length of transit.

In Europe, which is another fragmented last mile landscape, there’s a large opportunity for us to further apply our last mile technology and best practices. We’ve established last mile operations for heavy goods in several European countries and won some sizable contracts. It’s a small but growing presence in a sector where our expertise is valued.

Intermodal

Intermodal involves the long-haul portion of containerized freight movements. This is an additional growth opportunity for us. Services include rail brokerage, local drayage performed by independent trucking contractors, and on-site operational services. XPO has one of the largest drayage networks in the US, with more than 2,300 independent owner-operators and access to another 25,000 drayage trucks.

The nature of intermodal is that demand is influenced by external factors, such as the availability of truck capacity. Right now, truck capacity is still relatively tight and fuel prices are creeping up again, both of which are good for intermodal. In general, intermodal can be a much less expensive mode for freight that is not time-sensitive. The main drivers of customer satisfaction are cost effectiveness, ready capacity and service performance.

Our proprietary Rail Optimizer technology is a growth engine and a competitive advantage for us in intermodal — it enables constant communication with the railroads and provides a high level of visibility into the door-to-door movements of long-haul freight. This helps us reduce empty miles and otherwise add value for customers. Rail Optimizer helped us win the largest contract in XPO’s history last year.

Expedite

We offer expedited transportation, a non-asset business, as part of our freight brokerage operations in North America. Expedited shipments are time-critical goods or raw materials that have to get somewhere very quickly, typically on little notice.

We use a network of contracted owner-operators to handle expedited ground transportation, and an electronic bid platform to assign air charter loads. A large and separate component of our expedite operations is our proprietary transportation management platform, which awards loads electronically based on carriers’ online bids. These transactions primarily happen on a machine-to-machine basis. Our technology initiates a new auction on the internet every few seconds, and we take a fee for facilitating the entire process.

9

One key driver of expedite demand is the trend toward just-in-time (JIT) urgent shipments. JIT is a supply chain strategy that requires 3PL support for both manufacturing production and inventory management. As the largest manager of expedited shipments in North America, we can pivot very quickly, often saving our customers from disastrous monetary loss.

Our expedite group serves our other service lines as well. For example, if a track repair stalls a rail container, we can off-load those goods to an expedite ground carrier in our network or put them on a chartered aircraft. This ability to find solutions to almost any challenge is a major advantage of our integrated organization.

Managed Transportation

XPO is a top five global provider of managed transportation, with approximately $2.7 billion of freight under management. Managed transportation is a non-asset service that we provide to shippers who want to outsource some or all of their transportation modes, together with associated activities. These activities can include freight handling such as consolidation and deconsolidation, labor planning, inbound and outbound shipment facilitation, documentation and customs management, claims processing and 3PL supplier management, among other services.

Global Forwarding

We provide non-asset global forwarding services in a $150 billion sector where shippers depend on our domestic, cross-border and international expertise. The freight we forward may have origins and destinations within the same country or move between countries or continents. It may travel by ground, air, ocean or some combination of these modes.

XPO has a network of independent market experts and licensed customs brokers that provide local oversight in thousands of key trade areas worldwide, and we operate a subsidiary as a non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC). We have an opportunity to grow market share in forwarding through our network of dedicated offices on four continents.

Service-Driven, Results-Oriented Culture

The common denominator across all areas of transportation and logistics is that customers want results. A zero-fail mindset is part of our DNA, dating back a quarter century to our roots in expedite. Anything less than stellar service is not an option for us.

Transportation customers want on-time pickup and delivery. Contract logistics customers want their goods to flow smoothly through the supply chain. All customers want visibility into flows, accurate documentation and damage-free handling. If a disruption does occur, customers expect to know about it right away and hear a solution. And increasingly, customers want real-time insights into supply chain activities, which is why we invest heavily in developing mobile applications, end-to-end visibility, predictive analytics and the digital freight marketplace.

We see an opportunity to continue to further differentiate XPO on the basis of phenomenal customer service in each of our service offerings. The litmus test is always our customer. Is the customer thrilled to have chosen XPO? Are we constantly improving the value we deliver?

10

When we receive awards for operational excellence and performance from world-class companies such as Boeing, Nissan, Diebold, Navistar, Nordstrom, The Home Depot and Whirlpool, we know we’re doing our job.

Sustainability is another big focus for us. It’s an area where XPO has already set an example in the industry, giving us an opportunity to build on that position. Our company has been named a Top 75 Green Supply Chain Partner by Inbound Logistics for three consecutive years, and in 2016 was awarded the label “Objectif CO₂” for outstanding environmental performance of transport operations in Europe by the French Ministry of the Environment and the French Environment and Energy Agency.

The UK warehouse of the future that we’re creating with Nestlé will be sited on man-made plateaus, with landscaping to minimize the visual impact to nearby settlements. Additional sustainability measures include environmentally friendly ammonia refrigeration systems, energy-saving LED lighting, air-source heat pumps for administration areas and rainwater harvesting.

Many of our logistics facilities are ISO14001-certified, which ensures environmental and other regulatory compliances. We monitor fuel emissions from forklifts in our warehouses, and we have protocols in place to take immediate corrective action if needed. Our packaging engineers ensure that the optimal carton size is used for each product slated for distribution, and when feasible, we purchase recycled packaging. As a byproduct of our reverse logistics operations, we recycle millions of electronic components and batteries each year.

In transportation, we’ve made substantial capex investments in fuel-efficient Freightliner Cascadia tractors in North America; these use EPA 2013-compliant and GHG14-compliant SCR technology. Our North American LTL locations have numerous energy-saving policies in place and are implementing a phased upgrade to LED lighting.

In Europe, we own one of the industry’s most modern fleets: 98% compliant with Euro V, EEV and Euro VI standards, and with an average truck age of 2.5 years. We also own a large fleet of natural gas trucks in Europe, and we have government-approved mega-trucks in Spain. These trucks can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions through increased carrying capacity.

That sums up our many drivers of profitable growth. We’ve purpose-built XPO to generate high value for our customers and high returns for our shareholders, with a massive addressable market opportunity.

Financial Highlights¹

Our strong momentum in 2018 continued in the third quarter. Highlights of our financial results include:

11

Cash flow from operations was $288.2 million, and free cash flow was $173.0 million. We expect to generate approximately $625 million of free cash flow for the full year.

We’ve updated our full-year 2018 target for adjusted EBITDA to approximately $1.585 billion, from at least $1.6 billion. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA primarily reflects the impact of a customer bankruptcy in the third quarter. Our cash flow target remains unchanged; we’ve reaffirmed our 2017–2018 target for cumulative free cash flow of approximately $1 billion.

Approximately 14% of XPO’s diluted outstanding shares are held by company executives and directors, strongly aligning their interests with those of our public shareholders.

High Growth and High Returns

In summary, we’re continuing to execute for high growth and high returns from a position of considerable operational and financial strength. Our company is on a positive trajectory heading into 2019. We’ll continue to build on our leading positions in high-growth sectors, to gain increasing share in the trillion-dollar market where we operate.

XPO is on the radar in every industry that requires transportation or logistics. Our ability to drive efficiencies through technology in so many parts of the supply chain clearly resonates with customers. While this is particularly true with e-commerce, we work closely with all types of companies to look at the entire supply chain, from sourcing to the end-customer. Our collaborative approach and our proprietary technology are major reasons why 67% of Fortune 100 companies use XPO.

The disciplined investments we’ve made in the business this year — in technology, sales, workforce productivity, logistics infrastructure, XPO Direct and other areas — are designed to propel growth and returns in any macro environment. There are always ways we can help our customers operate more efficiently and reduce their costs; that’s the sustainable path to shareholder value. Underlying our strategy is a deep bench of seasoned operators who know how to achieve results.

Looking forward, we expect our growth to continue to outperform the market. We closed a record $3 billion of new business in the first nine months, and our sales pipeline stands at a robust $3.7 billion. In addition, we have initiatives underway around the globe to continuously improve our cost structure. Our first full year of benefit from our 2018 growth investments will come in 2019.

Two years ago, we made the Fortune 500 list for the first time. In 2017, we were ranked as the fastest-growing transportation company on the list. This year, Fortune named XPO one of the world’s most admired companies. Forbes has ranked us as the top-performing US company on the Global 2000 and one of America’s best employers. In Italy, we were awarded Logistics Company of the Year for innovation two years in a row.

Our most recent recognition may be the most telling in terms of our ability to achieve phenomenal long-term growth. Fortune has named XPO to the Fortune Future 50 list of US public companies best positioned for breakout growth. The criteria that Fortune set for this list include many vital attributes, such as clarity of vision, agility and investments in technology. These are core strengths of XPO.

We grew XPO into a global leader in four years, primarily through acquisitions, then took the time to ensure that we have the best operators in place, with a motivated workforce, a collaborative culture and meticulous growth plans for each line of business. As we continue to execute our strategy, we have a thirst to create even more value for our customers and shareholders. Now we’re looking at M&A as a way to augment our trajectory and gain an increasing share of the vast opportunity ahead.

Thank you for your interest!

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 document to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP, which are set forth in the financial tables attached to the accompanying slide presentation. This document contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017; EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA excluding truckload for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015; free cash flow for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015; adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted earnings per share (basic and diluted) (“adjusted EPS”) for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017; adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio for our North American less-than-truckload business for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and adjusted operating income for our North American less-than-truckload business for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2015, and the trailing twelve-month period ended September 30, 2018; and organic revenue growth for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, on a consolidated basis.

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. Items excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures are significant and necessary components of the operations of our business, and, therefore, such measures should only be used as supplemental measures of our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted EPS include adjustments for transaction, integration and restructuring costs. Transaction, integration and restructuring adjustments are generally incremental costs that result from actual or planned acquisitions or divestitures (i.e., transaction costs, integration costs, consulting fees and internal salaries to the extent that individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities), as well as restructuring costs, such as severance, related to ongoing business optimization activities plans. Rebranding adjustments relate primarily to the rebranding of the XPO Logistics name on our truck fleet and buildings. 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 free cash flow is an important measure of our ability to repay maturing debt or fund other uses of capital that we believe will enhance stockholder value. We believe that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA excluding truckload improve comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest and financing expenses), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax impacts and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables that management has determined are not reflective of normalized operating activities. We believe that adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted 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. We believe that adjusted operating income for our North American less-than-truckload business improves the comparability of our operating results from period to period by (i) removing the impact of certain transaction, integration, restructuring and rebranding costs and amortization expenses and, (ii) including the impact of pension income incurred in the reporting period as set out in the attached tables. We believe that total organic revenue is an important measure because it excludes the impact of the following items: foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and fuel surcharges.

With respect to our 2018 financial targets of adjusted EBITDA and our 2017-2018 cumulative target for free cash flow each of which is a non-GAAP measure, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort due to the variability and complexity of the reconciling items described below that we exclude from the non-GAAP target measure. The variability of these items may have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results and, as a result, we are unable to prepare the forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP that would be required to produce such a reconciliation.
