Information concerning Norbert Dentressangle contained in this presentation has been sourced from publicly available information. The public tender offer that will be filed by XPO on Norbert Dentressangle shares will be described in an information memorandum, which will be subject to the review and approval of the French Autorité des marchés financiers.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, such as adjusted earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), in each case for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and pro formal adjusted EBITDA for 2014 and the 12-month period ended March 31, 2015. As required by SEC rules, we provide reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable measure under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which are set forth in the attachments to this release. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted EBITDA improve comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization) and tax consequences, in addition to reflecting anticipated pro forma adjustments relating to recent acquisitions as permitted by the instruments governing our credit facility and senior notes. In addition to its use by management, we believe that adjusted EBITDA is a measure widely used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the financial performance of companies in our industry. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, and therefore our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operating activities and other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant and necessary components of the operations of our business, and, therefore, adjusted EBITDA should only be used as a supplemental measure of our operating performance.

Strategic Rationale for Acquisition
ND’s capabilities closely mirrored XPO’s North American offering
– XPO gained global scale in three of its core services: contract logistics, freight brokerage and global freight forwarding Companies shared an asset-light model with low capital intensity: net capex of approximately 2.0%—2.5% of revenue Combined blue chip customer base includes many of the world’s largest multinational companies Timing capitalized on start of eurozone economic rebound and strong US dollar Opened the door to significant future acquisition opportunities for XPO in highly fragmented eurozone
XPO is now a single source transportation and logistics provider with global footprint

Acquired Bridge Terminal Transport (BTT)
One of the largest asset-light drayage providers in the United States
Approximately 1,800 customers, including many longstanding, blue chip customer relationships Revenue of $232 million and EBITDA of $12.4 million for the trailing 12 months ended March 31, 2015 Purchase price was $100 million, excluding any working capital adjustments, with no assumption of debt
Represents a consideration of 8.1 times EBITDA of $12.4 million Will be rebranded and integrated with XPO Logistics
27 | XPO Investor Presentation June 2015
|
|
Strategic Rationale and Synergies
XPO gained 1,300 independent owner operators and 28 terminals
Increased XPO’s total capacity under contract to its drayage, last mile and expedite businesses to more than 6,200 independent owner operators
Strengthened XPO’s drayage footprint on the East Coast
XPO can take on more freight in tight markets when drayage capacity is scarce
More cost effective and more reliable to use contracted owner operators, rather than unaffiliated third-party carriers
Well-run operations can be seamlessly integrated into XPO’s network
