XPO uses its integrated network of people, technology and physical assets to help customers manage their goods most efficiently throughout their supply chains.
The Company has two reportable segments: Transportation and Logistics. Within each segment, the Company has robust service offerings that are positioned to capitalize on fast-growing areas of customer demand. See Note 2—Segment Reporting for further information on the Company’s operations.
The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the accounting policies described in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”), except as described herein, and the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the 2018 Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented, have been made. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of full year results.
Restricted Cash
As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the total amount of restricted cash included in Other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $12 million, in both cases.
Receivables Securitization and Factoring
The Company uses trade accounts receivables securitization and factoring programs in the normal course of business to help manage its cash flows. The following table provides information related to the Company’s receivables securitization and factoring programs:

In addition to the cash consideration referenced above, the Company received $66 million and $137 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, for the realization of cash on a deferred purchase price receivable related to the securitization program. These amounts are reflected as cash collected on deferred purchase price receivable within Net cash used in investing activities. See Note 7—Debt for additional information related to the Company’s receivables securitization borrowing program.

Fair Value Measurements
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value 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, and classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
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.
The fair value estimates are based on certain market assumptions and information available to management. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deferred purchase price related to accounts receivables sold, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current maturities of long-term debt approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 due to their short-term nature or because they were receivable or payable on demand. The Level 1 cash equivalents include money market funds valued using quoted prices in active markets. The Level 2 cash equivalents include short-term investments valued using published interest rates for instruments with similar terms and maturities. For information regarding the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s derivative instruments and financial liabilities, refer to Note 6—Derivative Instruments and Note 7—Debt, respectively.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of cash equivalents:

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets the assets and liabilities that arise from leases, including operating leases. Under the new requirements, a lessee recognizes on the balance sheet the right-of-use asset, representing the right to use the underlying asset, and the lease liability, representing the present value of future lease payments.
The Company utilized a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of Topic 842 on its financial statements and related disclosures. In particular, the Company completed a comprehensive review of its lease portfolio and enhanced its internal controls, including those related to the identification, measurement and disclosure of its lease portfolio. In addition, the Company implemented a new software solution to facilitate compliance with the new guidance. For further information on the Company’s leases, refer to Note 5—Leases.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Effective
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” as modified by subsequently issued ASUs. The ASU amends the current incurred losses impairment method with a method that reflects expected credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period; however, early adoption is permitted. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements, it believes it may impact the allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable as credit losses may be recognized earlier under the expected loss model.

Table of Contents

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” The ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. Under the guidance, any capitalized implementation costs would be included in prepaid expenses, amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement on a straight-line basis and presented in the same line items in the Consolidated Statement of Income as the expense for fees of the associated hosting arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period, however, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
2. Segment Reporting
The Company is organized into two reportable segments: Transportation and Logistics.
In the Transportation segment, the Company provides multiple services to facilitate movements of raw materials, parts and finished goods. The Company accomplishes this by using its proprietary technology, third-party independent carriers and Company-owned transportation assets and service centers. XPO’s transportation services include: freight brokerage, last mile, less-than-truckload (“LTL”), full truckload, global forwarding and managed transportation. Freight brokerage, last mile, global forwarding and managed transportation are non-asset or asset-light operations; LTL and full truckload are primarily asset-based operations.
The Logistics segment, which the Company also refers to as supply chain, provides differentiated contract logistics services. These services are facilitated by the Company’s proprietary technology and include value-added warehousing and distribution, inventory management, omnichannel and e-commerce fulfillment, cold chain solutions, reverse logistics, packaging and labeling, factory support, aftermarket support and order personalization services. In addition, the Logistics segment provides highly engineered, customized solutions and supply chain optimization services, such as advanced automation and predictive volume flow management.
Certain of the Company’s operating units provide services to other Company operating units outside of their reportable segment. Billings for such services are based on negotiated rates and are reflected as revenue of the billing segment. These rates are adjusted from time to time based on market conditions. Such intersegment revenues and expenses are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated results.
Corporate costs and credits include corporate headquarters costs for executive officers and certain legal and financial functions, as well as certain other costs and credits not attributed to the Company’s core business. These costs and credits are not allocated to the business segments.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews financial information at the reporting segment level in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess performance. Segment results that are reported to the CODM include items directly attributable to a segment, as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Asset information by segment is not provided to the Company’s CODM, as the majority of the Company’s assets are managed at the corporate level.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligation
The Company’s remaining performance obligation represents the aggregate amount of transaction price yet to be recognized as of the end of the reporting period. As permitted in determining the remaining performance obligation, the Company omits obligations that either: (i) have original expected durations of one year or less, or (ii) contain variable consideration. On June 30, 2019, the fixed consideration component of the Company’s remaining performance obligation was approximately $1.5 billion, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 80% over the next three years and the remainder thereafter. The majority of the remaining performance obligation relates to the Logistics reportable segment. Remaining performance obligations are based on estimates made at a point in time and actual amounts may differ from these estimates due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, contract revisions or terminations.
4. Restructuring Charges
The Company engages in restructuring actions as part of its ongoing efforts to best utilize its resources and infrastructure. In 2019, management approved restructuring plans that included severance and facility-related costs. A portion of the charge recorded under these plans related to the Company’s largest customer downsizing its business with the Company. The following table sets forth the restructuring-related activity:

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company expects that the majority of the cash payments related to this charge will be made within 12 months.
5. Leases
Adoption of Topic 842, “Leases”
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 prospectively through a cumulative-effect adjustment with no restatement of prior period financial statements. Upon adoption, the Company elected the package of practical expedients to retain the lease identification, classification and initial direct costs for existing leases. Additionally, the Company elected to not recognize on the Consolidated Balance Sheets any lease with an initial term of 12 months or less and to not separate lease and non-lease components within a contract. Adoption of this new standard as of January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of $2.1 billion of Operating lease assets and liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as an increase to Retained earnings of $6 million related to a deferred gain from a prior sale-leaseback transaction. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Nature of Leases
Most of the Company’s leases are comprised of real estate leases. In addition, the Company leases trucks, trailers, containers and material handling equipment. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, incremental borrowing rates were used based on the Company’s outstanding debt to determine the present value of future lease payments. The Company includes options to extend or terminate a lease in the lease term when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options. The Company excludes variable lease payments (such as payments based on an index or reimbursements of lessor costs) from its initial measurement of lease liability.
The components of lease expense and gain realized on sale-leaseback transactions were as follows:

6. Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks arising from business operations and economic factors, including fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. To manage the volatility related to these exposures, the Company uses derivative instruments. The objective of these derivative instruments is to reduce fluctuations in the Company’s 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. Historically, the Company has not incurred, and does not expect to incur in the future, any losses as a result of counterparty default.
The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions or variability of cash flow to be paid. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the designated derivative instruments that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged items. When a derivative instrument is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge or the underlying hedged transaction is no longer probable, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively.

The amounts excluded from effectiveness testing for the cross-currency swap agreements were $2 million and $3 million of loss in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) for derivatives designated as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively; and $28 million and $37 million of loss in AOCI for derivatives designated as net investment hedges as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The pre-tax (loss) gain recognized in earnings for foreign currency option and forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments was losses of $8 million and $10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively; and gains of $16 million and $4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. These amounts are recorded in Foreign currency loss (gain) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Cross-Currency Swap Agreements
The Company enters into cross-currency swap agreements that manage the foreign currency exchange risk related to the Company’s international operations by effectively converting its fixed-rate U.S. Dollar (“USD”)-denominated debt, including the associated interest payments, to fixed-rate, euro (“EUR”)-denominated debt. The risk management objective of these transactions is to manage foreign currency risk relating to net investments in subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies and reduce the variability in the functional currency equivalent cash flows of this debt.
During the term of the swap contracts, the Company will receive interest payments, either on a quarterly or semi-annually basis, from the counterparties based on USD fixed interest rates, and the Company will make interest payments, also on a quarterly or semi-annual basis, to the counterparties based on EUR fixed interest rates. At maturity, the Company will repay the original principal amount in EUR and receive the principal amount in USD.
The Company has designated the cross-currency swap agreements as qualifying hedging instruments and is accounting for these as net investment hedges. The Company applies the simplified method of assessing the effectiveness of its net investment hedging relationships. Under this method, for each reporting period, the change in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps is initially recognized in AOCI. The change in the fair value due to foreign exchange remains in AOCI and the initial component excluded from effectiveness testing will initially remain in AOCI and then will be reclassified from AOCI to Interest expense each period in a systematic manner. For net investment hedges that were de-designated prior to their maturity, the amounts in AOCI will remain in AOCI until the subsidiary is sold or substantially liquidated. Cash flows related to the periodic exchange of interest payments for these net investment hedges are included in Operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Additionally, the Company has cross-currency swap agreements accounted for as a cash flow hedge. This cash flow hedge was entered into to manage the related foreign currency exposure from intercompany loans. For the cash flow hedge, the Company reclassifies a portion of AOCI to Foreign currency loss (gain) to offset the foreign exchange impact in earnings created by the intercompany loans. The Company also amortizes a portion of AOCI to Interest expense related to the initial portion of a loss excluded from the assessment of effectiveness of the cash flow hedge. Cash flows related to this cash flow hedge are included in Financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Interest Rate Hedging
In March 2019, the Company executed short-term interest rate swaps to mitigate variability in forecasted interest payments on the Company’s senior secured term loan credit agreement, as amended (the “Term Loan Facility”). The interest rate swaps convert floating-rate interest payments into fixed rate interest payments. The company designated the interest rate swaps as qualifying hedging instruments and accounted for these derivatives as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps mature on various dates within 2019. In 2018, the Company utilized a short-term interest rate swap to mitigate variability in forecasted interest payments on the Company’s Term Loan Facility.
Gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustments to the designated portion of interest rate swaps are recorded in AOCI and reclassified to Interest expense on the dates that interest payments accrue. Cash flows related to the interest rate swaps are included in Operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Foreign Currency Option and Forward Contracts
In order to mitigate the risk of a reduction in the value of earnings from the Company’s operations that use the EUR or the British pound sterling as their functional currency, the Company uses foreign currency option contracts. Additionally, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate exposure from intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent and thus create volatility in earnings. These foreign currency contracts (both option and forward contracts) were not designated as qualifying hedging instruments as of June 30, 2019. The contracts are not speculative; rather, they are used to economically hedge the Company’s exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. The contracts expire in 12 months or less. Gains or losses on the contracts are recorded in Foreign currency loss (gain) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
In the third quarter of 2018, the Company changed its policy related to the cash flow presentation of foreign currency option contracts, as the Company believes cash receipts and payments related to economic hedges should be classified based on the nature and purpose for which these derivatives were acquired and, given that the Company did not elect to apply hedge accounting to these derivatives, the Company believes it is preferable to reflect these cash flows as Investing activities. Prior to this change, these cash flows were reflected within Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 included $13 million of cash usage related to these foreign currency option contracts.

The Level 1 debt was valued using quoted prices in active markets. The Level 2 debt was valued using bid evaluation pricing models or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. The fair value of the asset financing arrangements approximates carrying value as the debt: (i) is primarily issued at a floating rate; (ii) may be prepaid at any time at par without penalty; and (iii) the remaining life of the debt is short-term in nature.
ABL Facility
In April 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Credit Agreement (the “ABL Facility”), by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries signatory thereto, the lenders party thereto and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., in its capacity as agent.
The Amendment amends the ABL Facility to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date thereof to April 30, 2024 (subject, in certain circumstances, to a springing maturity if more than $200 million of the Company’s 6.50% senior notes due 2022, 6.125% senior notes due 2023 or certain refinancings thereof remain outstanding 91 days prior to their respective maturity); (ii) increase the aggregate principal amount of the commitments thereunder to $1.1 billion; (iii) reduce the interest rate margin and commitment fees thereunder; and (iv) make certain other changes to the covenants and other provisions therein.
Loans under the ABL Facility are secured on a first lien basis by the assets of the credit parties which constitute ABL Priority Collateral (as defined therein), and on a second lien basis by certain other assets.
Loans under the ABL Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% to 1.50%, in the case of LIBOR loans, and 0.25% to 0.50%, in the case of base rate loans.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a borrowing base of $1,046 million and availability under the ABL Facility of $838 million after considering outstanding letters of credit on the ABL Facility of $208 million. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the ABL Facility’s financial covenants.
Term Loan Facility
2019 Amendments
In March 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), which permits the Company to incur up to $500 million of incremental term loans under the existing credit agreement on or prior to June 5, 2019 without adjusting the interest rate margin applicable to existing loans outstanding, as long as the yield on the incremental term loan does not exceed the yield on the existing loans by 0.75%. Also in March 2019, the Company entered into an Incremental Amendment (Amendment No. 5 to Credit Agreement) (the “Fifth Amendment”), by and among the Company, its subsidiaries signatory thereto, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., in its capacity as administrative agent, amending the Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of October 30, 2015 (as previously amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the Company borrowed an additional $500 million of incremental loans under a new tranche of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loan Facility”). The terms of the loans under the Incremental Term Loan Facility are substantially similar to the terms relating to the loans outstanding under the Term Loan Credit Agreement prior to giving effect to the amendment, except with respect to issue price, the interest rate applicable to the Company’s borrowings under the Incremental Term Loan Facility, prepayment premiums in connection with certain voluntary prepayments thereof, and certain other provisions.
The interest rate margin applicable to the Incremental Term Loan Facility is 1.50%, in the case of base rate loans, and 2.50%, in the case of LIBOR loans. Proceeds from borrowings under the Incremental Term Loan Facility will be

used: (i) for general corporate purposes, including to fund purchases of equity interests of the Company described in Note 8—Stockholders’ Equity; and (ii) to pay fees and expenses relating to, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by the amendment. The incremental loans under the Incremental Term Loan Facility were issued at a price of 99.50% of par.
The interest rates on the Term Loan Facility and the Incremental Term Loan Facility were 4.40% and 4.88%, respectively, as of June 30, 2019.
2018 Amendments
In February 2018, the Company amended the Term Loan Facility, which reduced the interest rate under the facility and extended the maturity date to February 23, 2025. The refinancing resulted in a debt extinguishment charge of $10 million in the first quarter of 2018.
Senior Notes due 2024
In February 2019, the Company completed its private placement of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes (“Senior Notes due 2024”). The Senior Notes due 2024 bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum, payable semiannually in cash in arrears, commencing August 15, 2019. The Senior Notes due 2024 will mature on August 15, 2024. The Senior Notes due 2024 are guaranteed by each of the Company’s direct and indirect wholly owned restricted subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) that guarantees or is or becomes a borrower under the Company’s ABL Facility or existing secured term loan facility (or certain replacements thereof) or that guarantees certain capital markets indebtedness of the Company or any guarantor of the Senior Notes due 2024. The Senior Notes due 2024 and the guarantees thereof are unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and the guarantors. Proceeds from the Senior Notes due 2024 were used to repay the Company’s outstanding obligation under the Unsecured Credit Facility described below and to finance a portion of its share repurchases described in Note 8—Stockholders’ Equity.
Trade Securitization Program
In October 2017, XPO Logistics Europe SA (“XPO Logistics Europe”), in which the Company holds an 86.25% controlling interest, entered into a trade receivables securitization program for a term of three years co-arranged by Crédit Agricole and HSBC. The aggregate maximum amount available under the program is €350 million (approximately $398 million as of June 30, 2019). As of June 30, 2019, the remaining borrowing capacity, which considers receivables that are collateral and receivables that have been sold, was €24 million (approximately $27 million) and the weighted-average interest rate was 1.10%. Charges for administrative fees and commitment fees, the latter of which is based on a percentage of the unused amounts available, were not material to the Company’s results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
In July 2019, XPO Logistics Europe terminated the above described trade receivables securitization program and entered into a new trade receivables securitization program for a term of three years co-arranged by Crédit Agricole, BNP Paribas and HSBC. Under the terms of the new program, a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote special purpose entity of XPO Logistics Europe incorporated in Ireland will sell the trade receivables originated by the wholly-owned subsidiaries of XPO Logistics Europe in the United Kingdom and France to unaffiliated entities being managed by Crédit Agricole, BNP Paribas and HSBC. Under this new program, the maximum amount of net cash proceeds that will be available at any one time will be €400 million (approximately $450 million as of July 1, 2019). In this new program, there will be no deferred purchase price mechanism which had existed in the prior program.
Unsecured Credit Facility
In December 2018, the Company entered into a $500 million unsecured credit agreement (“Unsecured Credit Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A., with a maturity date of December 23, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had borrowed $250 million under the Unsecured Credit Agreement and made a second borrowing of $250 million in January 2019. The proceeds of both borrowings were used to finance a portion of its share repurchases described in Note 8—Stockholders’ Equity. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2024 described above, the Company repaid its outstanding obligations under the Unsecured Credit Agreement and terminated the facility in February 2019.

8. Stockholders Equity
Share Repurchases
On December 14, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of the Company’s common stock (the “2018 Repurchase Program”). Through December 31, 2018, based on the settlement date, the Company purchased and retired 10 million shares of its common stock having an aggregate value of $536 million at an average price of $53.46 per share. In the first quarter of 2019, based on the settlement date, the Company purchased and retired 8 million shares of its common stock having an aggregate value of $464 million at an average price of $59.47 per share, which completed the 2018 Repurchase Program. The share purchases were funded by the Unsecured Credit Facility and available cash.
On February 13, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized additional repurchases of up to $1.5 billion of the Company’s common stock (the “2019 Repurchase Program”). The authorization permits the Company to purchase shares in both open market and private transactions, with the timing and number of shares dependent on a variety of factors, including price, general business conditions, market conditions, alternative investment opportunities and funding considerations. In the second quarter of 2019, based on the settlement date, the Company purchased and retired 2 million shares of its common stock having an aggregate value of $120 million at an average price of $56.78 per share under the 2019 Repurchase Program. In the first six months of 2019, based on the settlement date, the Company purchased and retired 17 million shares of its common stock having an aggregate value of $883 million at an average price of $50.70 per share, under the 2019 Repurchase Program. The share purchases were funded by available cash and proceeds from new debt offerings. As of June 30, 2019, $617 million remained available to be used for share purchases under the 2019 Repurchase Program. However, the Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares and may suspend or discontinue the program at any time.
Dividends
The Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock pays quarterly cash dividends equal to the greater of: (i) the “as-converted” dividends on the underlying Company common stock for the relevant quarter; and (ii) 4% of the then-applicable liquidation preference per annum.
9. Earnings per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines earnings per share for common shares and participating securities. The participating securities consist of the Company’s Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock. The undistributed earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities as if all earnings had been distributed during the period. In periods of loss, no allocation is made to the preferred shares.

10. Legal and Regulatory Matters
The Company is involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous proceedings arising out of the conduct of its business. These proceedings may include, among other matters, claims for property damage or personal injury incurred in connection with the transportation of freight, claims regarding anti-competitive practices, and employment-related claims, including claims involving asserted breaches of employee restrictive covenants and tortious interference with contracts. These matters also include numerous purported class action, multi-plaintiff and individual lawsuits, and administrative proceedings that claim either that the Company’s owner-operators or contract carriers should be treated as employees, rather than independent contractors, or that certain of the Company’s drivers were not paid for all compensable time or were not provided with required meal or rest breaks. These lawsuits and proceedings may seek substantial monetary damages (including claims for unpaid wages, overtime, failure to provide meal and rest periods, unreimbursed business expenses and other items), injunctive relief, or both.
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. Accruals for loss contingencies are reviewed quarterly and adjusted 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 therefor, 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 states 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 the Company’s assessment, in conjunction with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter.


22

Table of Contents

The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. 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 it deems sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting its operations as a transportation and logistics company. The liability and excess umbrella insurance policies generally do not cover the misclassification claims described in this note. In the event the Company is required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively impacted.
Intermodal Drayage Classification Claims
Certain of the Company’s intermodal drayage subsidiaries received notices from the California Labor Commissioner, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (the “DLSE”), that a total of approximately 150 owner-operators contracted with these subsidiaries filed claims in 2012 with the DLSE in which they assert that they should be classified as employees, rather than independent contractors. These claims seek reimbursement for the owner-operators’ business expenses, including fuel, tractor maintenance and tractor lease payments. Decisions were rendered in June 2015 by a DLSE hearing officer with respect to claims of five plaintiffs, resulting in awards in an aggregate amount of approximately $1 million, following which the Company appealed the decisions in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (“Central District Court”). On May 16, 2017, the Central District Court issued judgment finding that the five claimants were employees rather than independent contractors and awarding an aggregate of approximately $1 million plus post-judgment interest and attorneys’ fees to the claimants. The Company appealed this judgment, but on February 20, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit declined to consider the appeal on technical grounds. In addition, separate decisions were rendered in April 2017 by a DLSE hearing officer in claims involving four additional plaintiffs, resulting in an award for the plaintiffs in an aggregate amount of approximately $1 million, which the Company has appealed to the California Superior Court, Long Beach. The remaining DLSE claims (the “Pending DLSE Claims”) were transferred to California Superior Court in three separate actions involving approximately 170 claimants, including the claimants mentioned above who originally filed claims in 2012. The Company has reached an agreement to settle the majority of the Pending DLSE Claims, the settlement payment has been made, and the settled claims have been dismissed. In addition, certain of the Company’s intermodal drayage subsidiaries are party to putative class action litigations and other administrative claims in California brought by independent contract carriers who contracted with these subsidiaries. In these litigations, the contract carriers assert that they should be classified as employees, rather than independent contractors. The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable relating to the claims referenced above. The Company is unable at this time to estimate the amount of the possible loss or range of loss, if any, in excess of its accrued liability that it may incur as a result of these claims given, among other reasons, that the range of potential loss could be impacted substantially by future rulings by the courts involved, including on the merits of the claims.
Last Mile Logistics Classification Claims
Certain of the Company’s last mile logistics subsidiaries are party to several putative class action litigations brought by independent contract carriers who contracted with these subsidiaries. In these litigations, the contract carriers, and in some cases the contract carriers’ employees, assert that they should be classified as employees, rather than independent contractors. The particular claims asserted vary from case to case, but the claims generally allege unpaid wages, unpaid overtime, or failure to provide meal and rest periods, and seek reimbursement of the contract carriers’ business expenses. The cases include four related matters pending in the Federal District Court, Northern District of California: Ron Carter, Juan Estrada, Jerry Green, Burl Malmgren, Bill McDonald and Joel Morales v. XPO Logistics, Inc. (“Carter”), filed in March 2016; Ramon Garcia v. Macy’s and XPO Logistics Inc. (“Garcia”), filed in July 2016; Kevin Kramer v. XPO Logistics Inc. (“Kramer”), filed in September 2016; and Hector Ibanez v. XPO Last Mile, Inc. (“Ibanez”), filed in May 2017. The Company has reached agreements to settle the Carter, Garcia, Kramer and Ibanez matters and has accrued the full amount of the settlements. The settlements will require court approval. With respect to other pending claims, the Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the

potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company is unable at this time to estimate the amount of the possible loss or range of loss, if any, in excess of its accrued liability that it may incur as a result of these claims given, among other reasons, that the number and identities of plaintiffs in these lawsuits are uncertain and the range of potential loss could be impacted substantially by future rulings by the courts involved, including on the merits of the claims.
Shareholder Litigation
On December 14, 2018, two putative class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of its current and former executives, alleging violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, as well as Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, based on alleged material misstatements and omissions in the Company’s public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. On January 7, 2019, the plaintiff in one of the class actions, Leeman v. XPO Logistics, Inc. et al., No. 1:18-cv-11741 (S.D.N.Y.), voluntarily dismissed the action without prejudice. In the other putative class action, Labul v. XPO Logistics, Inc. et al., No. 3:18-cv-02062 (D. Conn.), which is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, on April 2, 2019, the court appointed Local 817 IBT Pension Fund, Local 272 Labor-Management Pension Fund, and Local 282 Pension Trust Fund and Local 282 Welfare Trust Fund (together, the “Pension Funds”) as lead plaintiffs. On June 3, 2019, the Pension Funds, with additional plaintiff Norfolk County Retirement System, filed a consolidated class action complaint against the Company and certain of its current and former executives, alleging violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, based on alleged material misstatements and omissions in the Company’s public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Defendants’ motions to dismiss are due on August 2, 2019.
In addition, on May 13, 2019, Adriana Jez filed a purported shareholder derivative action captioned Jez v. Jacobs, et al., No. 19-cv-889-RGA (D. Del.), in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and violations of the Exchange Act against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company, with the Company as a nominal defendant. On May 24, 2019, Erin Candler filed a purported shareholder derivative action with substantially similar claims and allegations against the same parties, captioned Candler v. Jacobs, et al., No. 19-cv-959-CFC (D. Del.), also in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. On June 14, 2019, the two actions were consolidated for all purposes.
The Company believes these suits are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously against the allegations. The Company is unable at this time to determine the amount of the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that it may incur as a result of these matters.

Executive Summary
XPO Logistics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (“XPO,” “XPO Logistics,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”), is a top ten global provider of cutting-edge supply chain solutions to the most successful companies in the world. We use our highly integrated network of people, technology and physical assets to help our customers manage their goods most efficiently throughout their supply chains. Our revenue derives from a mix of key verticals, such as retail and e-commerce, food and beverage, consumer packaged goods and industrial, and our customers are multinational, national, mid-size and small enterprises.
We run our business on a global basis with two reporting segments: Transportation and Logistics. In 2018, approximately 65% of our revenue came from Transportation; the other 35% came from Logistics. Within each segment, we have robust service offerings that are positioned to capitalize on fast-growing areas of customer demand. Substantially all of our services operate under the single brand of XPO Logistics.
Our markets are highly diversified. Based on where orders originated, approximately 59% of our 2018 revenue was generated in the United States, 13% in France and 12% in the United Kingdom. The more than 50,000 customers we serve are in every major industry and touch every part of the economy. As of June 30, 2019, we operated in 30 countries with 1,537 locations and approximately 100,000 employees. We discontinued our operations in Hungary and Ukraine as planned in 2019.
Transportation Segment
We offer customers an unmatched transportation network of multiple modes, flexible capacity and route density to transport freight quickly and cost effectively from origin to destination. Our service range, together with our scale and technology, are significant advantages — both for XPO, as competitive differentiators, and for our customers, who depend on us to provide reliable capacity under all market conditions.
Globally, we are the second largest freight brokerage provider, and a top five provider of managed transportation based on the value of freight under management. Many of our transportation services hold market-leading positions in North America and Europe. In North America, we are the largest provider of last mile logistics for heavy goods; the largest manager of expedited shipments; a top three provider of less-than-truckload (“LTL”) transportation; and a top three provider of intermodal services, with a national drayage network. We are also a freight forwarder with a global network of ocean, air, ground and cross-border services.
In Europe, we provide comprehensive freight transportation services ranging from a single pallet to full truckload. Our dedicated truckload services are provided using our fleet, which is the largest owned road fleet in Europe. Our non-dedicated truckload services are provided using a mix of capacity that includes our own fleet, as well as brokered service provided by independent carriers. Our other transportation offerings in Europe are LTL transportation, which we provide through one of the largest LTL networks in Western Europe, and last mile logistics. Our total lane density in Europe covers the regions that produce approximately 90% of the eurozone’s gross domestic product.
Our blended model of owned, contracted and brokered truck capacity gives us extensive flexibility to provide solutions that best serve the interests of our customers and the Company. Overall, our operations are asset-light; the revenue generated by activities directly associated with our owned assets accounted for less than a third of our revenue in 2018.


25

Table of Contents

The non-asset portion of our model is predominately variable cost and includes our brokerage operations, as well as contracted capacity with independent providers. As of June 30, 2019, globally, we had approximately 10,000 independent carriers and owner-operators under contract to provide drayage, expedite, last mile and LTL services to our customers, and more than 50,000 independent brokered carriers representing over 1,000,000 trucks on the road.
We employ professional drivers who transport goods for customers using our fleet of owned and leased trucks and trailers. Globally, our road fleet encompasses approximately 16,000 tractors and approximately 40,000 trailers, primarily related to our LTL operations in North America and our full truckload operations in Europe. These assets also provide supplemental capacity for our freight brokerage operations as needed.
Logistics Segment
In our Logistics segment, which we sometimes refer to as supply chain or contract logistics, we are the second largest contract logistics provider worldwide, with robust service offerings that are positioned to capitalize on fast-growing areas of customer demand, such as e-fulfillment, returns management and temperature-controlled warehousing. As of June 30, 2019, our logistics capacity was 202 million square feet (19 million square meters) of shared and dedicated facility space globally, including 97 million square feet (9 million square meters) in North America.
Our expansive logistics footprint is particularly attractive to large customers with multinational operations. Our logistics customers include many of the preeminent names in retail and e-commerce, food and beverage, technology, aerospace, wireless, industrial and manufacturing, chemical, agribusiness, life sciences and healthcare. We provide a range of services to these customers, including value-added warehousing and distribution, inventory management, omnichannel and e-commerce fulfillment, cold chain solutions, reverse logistics, packaging and labeling, factory support, aftermarket support and order personalization services. In addition, our Logistics segment provides highly engineered, customized solutions and supply chain optimization services, such as advanced automation and predictive volume flow management. Once we secure a logistics contract, the average tenure is approximately five years and the relationship can lead to a wider use of our services, such as inbound and outbound logistics and freight transportation.
We also benefit from a strong position in the high-growth e-commerce sector, where demand is characterized by strong seasonal surges. We are the largest outsourced e-fulfillment provider in Europe, and we have a major platform for e-fulfillment in North America. Our experience with fast-growing product categories is important to customers who want to outsource order fulfillment, product returns, testing, refurbishment, warranty management, refunding, order personalization and other value-added services.
E-commerce is predicted to continue to grow globally at a double-digit rate through at least 2021, making it difficult for many companies to handle fulfillment in-house while providing a high level of service. E-commerce companies, and bricks-and-mortar retailers with e-commerce channels, value our ability to develop solutions using advanced automation, manage complex returns and aftermarket services, and perform reliably throughout periods of peak demand. Together with our last mile expertise with heavy goods, our logistics capabilities provide omnichannel retailers with superior visibility and control, flexible warehousing options, and a national network of home delivery hubs.
Operating Philosophy
One of our Company’s most compelling competitive advantages is our combination of technology, density and scale. This allows us to solve complex supply chain problems for customers by providing them with integrated, end-to-end solutions that flex according to their needs. Many customers, particularly large companies, prefer to use large, multimodal service providers to manage more than one aspect of the supply chain. We have a cohesive sales infrastructure and common database that support our sales professionals in sharing information and cross-selling our services.
We prioritize innovation because we believe that advanced technology is critical to continuously improving customer service, controlling costs and leveraging our scale and service range. Our 2018 investment in technology was approximately $500 million, among the highest in our industry. Our technology blueprint is centered on four areas of innovation: our digital freight marketplace, automation and intelligent machines, dynamic data science, and visibility and customer service.


26

Table of Contents

Our global team of approximately 1,800 technology professionals can deploy proprietary software very rapidly on our cloud-based platform. Our focus is on developing innovations that differentiate each of our services, create benefits for our customers and value for our shareholders. For example, we have the ability to share data with our customers in real time, including visibility of orders moving through fulfillment and shipping with a single tracking number for last mile. Another example is XPO Direct, our shared-space distribution network of logistics warehouses and last mile hubs. XPO Directis a key component of our e-commerce and omnichannel strategy, as it offers customers the ability to reposition inventory around our footprint, close to demand, without taking on large fixed costs.
In addition to technology, our Company has a strong commitment to sustainability. We own the largest natural gas truck fleet in Europe, as well as government-approved mega-trucks in Spain, and we are testing fully electric vehicles for deliveries in urban areas; these are three of numerous initiatives we have underway to reduce our carbon footprint.
In 2018, we made substantial investments in fuel-efficient Freightliner Cascadia tractors in North America; these use EPA 2013-compliant and GHG14-compliant Selective Catalytic Reduction (“SCR”) technology. In Europe, our tractors are approximately 98% compliant with Euro V, EEV and Euro VI standards, making our fleet one of the most modern in the industry. We have been 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.
A number of our logistics facilities are ISO 14001-certified, which ensures environmental and other regulatory compliances. We monitor fuel emissions from forklifts, with 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, as a byproduct of reverse logistics, we recycle millions of electronic components and batteries each year. We are committed to operating in a progressive and environmentally sound manner, with the greatest efficiency and the least waste possible.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared with Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 decreased 2.9% to $4.2 billion, compared with the same quarter in 2018. Revenue for the first six months of 2019 decreased 2.3% to $8.4 billion, compared with the same period in 2018. Revenue was primarily impacted by a reduction in business from our largest customer, resulting in approximately $130 million less revenue in the second quarter of 2019, primarily in the Transportation segment. This decrease was


27

Table of Contents

partially offset by growth in North American contract logistics. Foreign currency movement reduced revenue by approximately 2.3 percentage points in the second quarter of 2019 and 2.7 percentage points in the first six months of 2019. We estimate that the downsizing by our largest customer will negatively impact our full-year 2019 revenue by approximately $600 million, or approximately two-thirds of the revenue that this customer’s business generated for us in 2018.
Cost of transportation and services includes the cost of providing or procuring freight transportation for XPO customers and salaries paid to employee drivers in our truckload and LTL operations.
Cost of transportation and services for the second quarter of 2019 was $2.1 billion, or 49.7% of revenue, compared with $2.3 billion, or 52.1% of revenue, for the same quarter in 2018. Cost of transportation and services for the first six months of 2019 was $4.2 billion, or 50.3% of revenue, compared with $4.5 billion, or 52.6% of revenue, for the same period in 2018. The year-over-year improvements as a percentage of revenue in both periods were primarily driven by (i) logistics segment revenue growth; (ii) lower third-party transportation costs in freight brokerage and last mile; and (iii) labor productivity savings; partially offset by higher fleet rental costs.
Direct operating expenses are both fixed and variable expenses and consist of operating costs related to our contract logistics facilities, last mile warehousing facilities, LTL service centers and European LTL network. Direct operating expenses consist mainly of personnel costs, facility and equipment expenses such as rent, utilities, equipment maintenance and repair, costs of materials and supplies, information technology expenses, depreciation expense and gains and losses on sales of property and equipment.
Direct operating expense for the second quarter of 2019 was $1.4 billion, or 33.4% of revenue, compared with $1.4 billion, or 32.2% of revenue, for the same quarter in 2018. Direct operating expense for the first six months of 2019 was $2.8 billion, or 33.8% of revenue, compared with $2.8 billion, or 32.5% of revenue, for the same period in 2018. The year-over-year increases as a percentage of revenue were primarily driven by higher personnel costs to support growth in our North American contract logistics, partially offset by lower temporary labor. Additionally, the second quarter and first six months of 2019 included $19 million and $40 million, respectively, from gains on sales of property and equipment.
Sales, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) primarily consists of the cost of salaries and benefits for executive and certain administration functions, depreciation and amortization expense, professional fees, facility costs, bad debt expense and legal costs.
SG&A for the second quarter of 2019 was $455 million, or 10.7% of revenue, compared with $455 million, or 10.4% of revenue, for the same quarter in 2018. SG&A for the first six months of 2019 was $941 million, or 11.3% of revenue, compared with $905 million, or 10.6% of revenue, for the same period in 2018. For the second quarter, the slight year-over-year increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily related to higher payroll expense, which was almost entirely offset by lower professional and consulting fees and share-based compensation. For the first six months, the year-over-year increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily related to higher payroll and depreciation expenses, partially offset by lower professional and consulting fees and share-based compensation.
Other expense (income) for the second quarter of 2019 was $13 million of income, compared with $30 million of income for the same quarter in 2018. Other expense (income) for the first six months of 2019 was $30 million of income, compared with $49 million of income for the same period in 2018. The year-over-year decreases reflect lower net periodic pension income of $5 million in the second quarter of 2019 and $10 million in the first six months of 2019, compared with the same periods in 2018. Additionally, Other expense (income) for the second quarter and first six months of 2018 included a gain of approximately $9 million related to a terminated swap.
Foreign currency loss (gain) was an $8 million loss for the second quarter of 2019, compared with a $10 million gain for the same quarter in 2018. The primary driver of the year-over-year loss was unrealized losses incurred on foreign currency option and forward contracts in the second quarter of 2019, compared with unrealized gains for the same quarter in 2018. Foreign currency loss for the first six months of 2019 was $10 million, compared with $2 million for the same period in 2018. For the first six months of 2019, the foreign currency loss primarily reflected unrealized losses on foreign currency option and forward contracts. For the first six months of 2018, foreign currency loss reflected realized losses on foreign currency option and forward contracts as well as foreign currency transaction and remeasurement losses, partially offset by unrealized gains incurred on foreign currency option and


28

Table of Contents

forward contracts. For additional information on our foreign currency option and forward contracts, see Note 6—Derivative Instruments to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Debt extinguishment losses were $5 million and $10 million for the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Debt extinguishment loss in 2019 related to the write-off of debt issuance costs for the unsecured credit facility that was repaid in the first quarter of 2019. Debt extinguishment loss in 2018 related to the refinancing of our senior secured term loan credit agreement, as amended (the “Term Loan Facility”) in the first six months of 2018. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below for further information.
Interest expense increased to $72 million for the second quarter of 2019 from $55 million for the second quarter of 2018. Interest expense increased to $143 million for the first six months of 2019 from $114 million for the first six months of 2018. The increases in interest expense in both the second quarter and six-month periods were primarily related to higher average total indebtedness to fund share purchases and for general corporate purposes.
Our effective income tax rates were 24.1% and 25.4% for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 24.7% and 18.5% for the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective tax rates for both the second quarter and six-month periods of 2019 and 2018 were based on forecasted full year effective tax rates, adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented. The effective tax rate decreased between the second quarter of 2019 and the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to a mixed level of earnings in different jurisdictions.
There were no material discrete items impacting the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2019. The primary items impacting the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2018 included discrete tax benefits of $23 million from stock-based compensation and $4 million associated with the decision to deduct foreign taxes paid in prior years.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared with Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
Transportation segment revenue decreased 4.9% to $2.7 billion for the second quarter of 2019, compared with $2.9 billion for the same quarter in 2018. Revenue decreased 4.5% to $5.4 billion for the first six months of 2019, compared with $5.7 billion for the same period in 2018. Revenue was primarily impacted by a reduction in business from our largest customer. This revenue loss was largely related to our freight brokerage business and our postal injection business, the latter which ceased operations in the first quarter of 2019. Additionally, revenue in the second quarter of 2019 reflected lower truckload rates in freight brokerage, partially offset by growth in North American LTL and managed transportation. Foreign currency movement reduced revenue by approximately 1.6 percentage points in the second quarter of 2019 and 1.9 percentage points in the first six months of 2019.
Transportation segment operating income for the second quarter of 2019 increased to $243 million, or 8.8% of revenue, compared with $205 million, or 7.1% of revenue, for the same quarter in 2018. Operating income for the first six months of 2019 increased to $371 million, or 6.9% of revenue, compared with $344 million, or 6.1% of revenue, for the same period in 2018. The second quarter and first six months of 2019 reflected lower third-party transportation costs in freight brokerage and last mile, as well as gains on sales of property and equipment of $19 million and $39 million, respectively. These gains were partially offset by higher payroll expenses in the first six months of 2019. Depreciation and amortization expense in the first six months of 2019 included $6 million related to the impairment of customer relationship intangibles associated with exiting the direct postal injection business.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared with Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
Logistics segment revenue increased 1.2% to $1.5 billion for the second quarter of 2019, compared with $1.5 billion for the same quarter in 2018. Revenue increased 2.2% to $3.0 billion for the first six months of 2019, compared with $3.0 billion for the same period in 2018. The year-over-year revenue increases were primarily driven by growth of our North American contract logistics business, led by our food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, aerospace and healthcare sectors, and by e-commerce in Europe. This growth was partially offset by a reduction in business from our largest customer, and a decline in contract logistics revenue in Europe, primarily due to foreign currency movement, which reduced revenue growth by approximately 3.6 percentage points in the second quarter of 2019 and 4.3 percentage points in the first six months of 2019. We estimate that the logistics segment revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was negatively impacted by approximately five percentage points from the combined impact of foreign exchange movement and the reduction in business from our largest customer.
Logistics segment operating income for the second quarter of 2019 decreased to $61 million, or 4.0% of revenue, compared with $67 million, or 4.4% of revenue, for the same quarter in 2018. Operating income for the first six months of 2019 decreased to $107 million, or 3.5% of revenue, compared with $115 million, or 3.9% of revenue, for the same period in 2018. The year-over-year decreases were primarily driven by higher direct operating costs and SG&A expenses, largely related to new contract startups that required more personnel costs, partially offset by lower temporary labor costs, as well as lower costs of transportation and services. The lower temporary labor costs and lower costs of transportation and services reflect a reduction in business from our largest customer. Additionally, depreciation and amortization expense increased year-over-year in both periods, reflecting the impact of prior capital investments and new contract startups.
Restructuring Charges
We engage in restructuring actions as part of our ongoing efforts to best utilize our resources and infrastructure. Our results for the first six months of 2019 reflect restructuring charges of $17 million, $3 million of which was recorded in Cost of transportation and services, and $14 million of which was recorded in SG&A in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For more information, see Note 4—Restructuring Charges to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon successful completion of the restructuring initiatives in 2020, we expect to achieve annualized pre-tax savings of approximately $14 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal existing sources of cash are: (i) cash generated from operations; (ii) borrowings available under the Amendment No. 3 to Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Credit Agreement (the “ABL Facility”); and (iii) proceeds from the issuance of other debt. As of June 30, 2019, we have $838 million available to draw under the ABL Facility, based on a borrowing base of $1,046 million, as well as outstanding letters of credit of $208 million. In addition, we use trade accounts receivables securitization and factoring programs to help manage our cash flows and offset the impact of certain customers extending payment terms.
We continually evaluate our liquidity requirements, capital needs and the availability of capital resources based on our operating needs and our planned growth initiatives. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to support our existing operations over the next 12 months.

In addition to the cash consideration referenced above, we received $66 million and $137 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, for the realization of cash on a deferred purchase price receivable related to the securitization program. These amounts are reflected as cash collected on deferred purchase price receivable within Net cash used in investing activities. See Note 7—Debt to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our receivables securitization borrowing program.
ABL Facility
In April 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Credit Agreement (the “ABL Facility”), by and among us, certain subsidiaries signatory thereto, the lenders party thereto and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., in its capacity as agent.
The Amendment amends the ABL Facility to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date thereof to April 30, 2024 (subject, in certain circumstances, to a springing maturity if more than $200 million of our 6.50% senior notes due 2022 (“Senior Notes due 2022”), 6.125% senior notes due 2023 (“Senior Notes due 2023”) or certain refinancings thereof remain outstanding 91 days prior to their respective maturity); (ii) increase the aggregate principal amount of the commitments thereunder to $1.1 billion; (iii) reduce the interest rate margin and commitment fees thereunder; and (iv) make certain other changes to the covenants and other provisions therein.
Loans under the ABL Facility are secured on a first lien basis by the assets of the credit parties which constitute ABL Priority Collateral (as defined therein), and on a second lien basis by certain other assets.
Loans under the ABL Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% to 1.50%, in the case of LIBOR loans, and 0.25% to 0.50%, in the case of base rate loans.
Term Loan Facility
2019 Amendments
In March 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement, which permits us to incur up to $500 million of incremental term loans under the existing credit agreement on or prior to June 5, 2019 without adjusting the interest rate margin applicable to existing loans outstanding as long as the yield on the incremental term loan does not exceed the yield on the existing loans by 0.75%. Additionally, in March 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 5 to Credit Agreement, under which we borrowed an additional $500 million of incremental loans under a new tranche of term loans. For more information on these amendments, refer to Note 7—Debt to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
2018 Amendments
In February 2018, we amended the Term Loan Facility, which reduced the interest rate under the facility and extended the maturity date to February 23, 2025. The refinancing resulted in a debt extinguishment charge of $10 million in the first quarter of 2018.

Senior Notes due 2024
In February 2019, we completed our private placement of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes (“Senior Notes due 2024”). The Senior Notes due 2024 bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum, payable semiannually in cash in arrears, commencing August 15, 2019. The Senior Notes due 2024 will mature on August 15, 2024. Proceeds from the Senior Notes due 2024 were used to repay our outstanding obligation under the Unsecured Credit Facility described below and to finance a portion of our share repurchases described in Note 8—Stockholders’ Equity to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Unsecured Credit Facility
In December 2018, we entered into a $500 million unsecured credit agreement (“Unsecured Credit Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A., with a maturity date of December 23, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, we had borrowed $250 million under the Unsecured Credit Agreement and made a second borrowing of $250 million in January 2019. The proceeds of both borrowings were used to finance a portion of our share repurchases described in Note 8—Stockholders’ Equity to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2024 described above, we repaid our outstanding obligations under the Unsecured Credit Agreement and terminated the facility in February 2019.
Trade Securitization Program
In October 2017, XPO Logistics Europe SA (“XPO Logistics Europe”), in which we hold an 86.25% controlling interest, entered into a trade receivables securitization program for a term of three years co-arranged by Crédit Agricole and HSBC. The aggregate maximum amount available under the program is €350 million (approximately $398 million as of June 30, 2019). As of June 30, 2019, the remaining borrowing capacity, which considers receivables that are collateral and receivables that have been sold, was €24 million ($27 million).
In July 2019, XPO Logistics Europe terminated the above described trade receivables securitization program and entered into a new trade receivables securitization program for a term of three years co-arranged by Crédit Agricole, BNP Paribas and HSBC. Under the terms of the new program, a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote special purpose entity of XPO Logistics Europe incorporated in Ireland will sell the trade receivables originated by the wholly-owned subsidiaries of XPO Logistics Europe in the United Kingdom and France to unaffiliated entities being managed by Crédit Agricole, BNP Paribas and HSBC. Under this new program, the maximum amount of net cash proceeds that will be available at any one time will be €400 million (approximately $450 million as of July 1, 2019). In this new program, there will be no deferred purchase price mechanism which had existed in the prior program.
Share Repurchases
On December 14, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of our common stock (the “2018 Repurchase Program”). Through December 31, 2018, based on the settlement date, we purchased and retired 10 million shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of $536 million at an average price of $53.46 per share. In the first quarter of 2019, based on the settlement date, we purchased and retired 8 million shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of $464 million at an average price of $59.47 per share, which completed the 2018 Repurchase Program. The share purchases were funded by the Unsecured Credit Facility and available cash.
On February 13, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized additional repurchases of up to $1.5 billion of our common stock (the “2019 Repurchase Program”). The authorization permits us to purchase shares in both open market and private transactions, with the timing and number of shares dependent on a variety of factors, including price, general business conditions, market conditions, alternative investment opportunities and funding considerations. In the second quarter of 2019, based on the settlement date, we purchased and retired 2 million shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of $120 million at an average price of $56.78 per share under the 2019 Repurchase Program. In the first six months of 2019, based on the settlement date, we purchased and retired 17 million shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of $883 million at an average price of $50.70 per share, under the 2019 Repurchase Program. The share purchases were funded by available cash and proceeds from new debt offerings. As of June 30, 2019, $617 million remained available to be used for share purchases under the 2019 Repurchase Program. However, we are not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares and may suspend or discontinue the program at any time.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we: (i) generated cash from operating activities of $164 million; (ii) collected $137 million on the deferred purchase price receivable; (iii) generated proceeds from sales of property and equipment of $85 million; and (iv) received proceeds of $1.8 billion on our debt. We used cash during this period primarily to: (i) purchase property and equipment of $236 million; (ii) repurchase common stock of $1.3 billion; (iii) make payments on debt and capital leases of $565 million; and (iv) pay debt issuance costs of $27 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we: (i) generated cash from operating activities of $248 million; (ii) received proceeds, net of repurchases, of $82 million on our debt; and (iii) generated proceeds from sales of property and equipment of $62 million. We used cash during this period primarily to: (i) purchase property and equipment of $268 million; (ii) make repayments, net of advances, of $100 million on our ABL Facility; (iii) make payments on debt and capital leases of $59 million; and (iv) make payments for tax withholdings on restricted shares of $46 million.
Cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $84 million, compared with the same period in 2018. The decrease reflects $89 million of higher cash usage from operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with the same period in 2018. Within operating assets and liabilities, accounts receivable reflects a usage of $289 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with a usage of $179 million for the same period in 2018. The higher implied cash usage from accounts receivable in 2019 reflects the fact that cash collections on the deferred purchase price receivable from our securitization program are classified as investing activities. As a result, while accounts receivable only increased by $127 million from December 31, 2018, the impact to operating cash flows is greater.
Investing activities used $14 million and $196 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we: (i) used $236 million of cash to purchase property and equipment; (ii) received $85 million from sales of property and equipment; and (iii) received proceeds of $137 million related to the realization of cash on the deferred purchase price receivable. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we primarily: (i) used $268 million of cash to purchase property and equipment; and (ii) received $62 million from sales of property and equipment.
Financing activities used $153 million and $119 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The primary uses of cash during the first six months of 2019 were $1.3 billion used to purchase XPO common stock; and $500 million used to repay borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility. The primary sources of cash from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were: (i) $1.7 billion of net proceeds from the issuance of debt, consisting of the incremental term loans, Senior Notes due 2024 and borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility; and (ii) amounts received under the senior variable funding notes in connection with our trade securitization program. By comparison, the primary source of cash from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $888 million of net proceeds from the issuance of debt, consisting of the refinancing of the Term Loan Facility and amounts received under the senior variable funding notes in connection with our trade securitization program. The primary use of cash from financing activities during the six months ended

Table of Contents

June 30, 2018 was the $812 million repurchase of debt, consisting of the refinancing of the Term Loan Facility; $100 million of net repayments on our ABL Facility; $59 million repayment of debt and capital leases; and $46 million of payments for tax withholding related to restricted shares.
Contractual Obligations
As described more fully above, in the first six months of 2019, we borrowed $500 million under our Term Loan Facility; received proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion from our new Senior Notes due 2024; borrowed $250 million and subsequently repaid our borrowings of approximately $500 million under our Unsecured Credit Facility; and reflected our Senior Variable Funding Notes as current debt. Following these transactions, the contractual obligations for our debt increased by $1.25 billion in total, most notably with a decrease of approximately $235 million for 2020 and an increase of $1.5 billion in the years following 2023. The contractual obligations for our interest on debt increased by approximately $430 million commencing in 2020, with an increase of $185 million for 2020-2021, $185 million for 2022-2023 and $60 million thereafter. For information on the maturities of our finance and operating leases as of June 30, 2019, see Note 5—Leases to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no other material changes to our December 31, 2018 contractual obligations.
New Accounting Standards
Information related to new accounting standards is included in Note 1—Organization, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation and Note 5—Leases to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We have a significant proportion of our net assets and income in non-U.S. dollar (“USD”) currencies, primarily the euro (“EUR”) and British pound sterling (“GBP”). We are exposed to currency risk from potential changes in functional currency values of our foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and cash flows. Consequently, a depreciation of the EUR and GBP relative to the USD could have an adverse impact on our financial results.
In connection with the issuances of the Senior Notes due 2023 and the Senior Notes due 2022, we entered into certain cross-currency swap agreements to partially manage the related foreign currency exchange risk by effectively converting a portion of the fixed-rate USD-denominated Senior Notes due 2023 and the Senior Notes due 2022, including the semi-annual interest payments, to fixed-rate, EUR-denominated debt. The risk management objective is to manage a portion of the foreign currency risk relating to net investments in subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies.
In order to mitigate against the risk of a reduction in the value of foreign currency earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for those Company operations that use the EUR or the GBP as their functional currency, we use foreign currency option contracts. Gains and losses on these contracts are recorded in Foreign currency loss (gain) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
See Note 6—Derivative Instruments to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
There have been no material changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and acting Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019 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
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
