XPO Logistics, proveedor líder mundial en soluciones para la cadena de suministro, ha anunciado la presentación y registro del Formulario 10 de GXO Logistics ante la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores de Estados Unidos (SEC). El Formulario 10 se presentó en relación con la escisión prevista del segmento de logística de XPO para formar una compañía independiente cotizada en bolsa. XPO prevé que la escisión concluya en el tercer trimestre de 2021 con la cotización de GXO en la Bolsa de Nueva York, y su objetivo es obtener una calificación de grado de inversión para ambas compañías, GXO primero y, a continuación, XPO.
Además, la empresa presentó información financiera adicional posterior a la escisión de GXO y XPO. El Formulario 10 y la información financiera complementaria están disponibles en el sitio web de la compañía, en xpo.com/investors.
Brad Jacobs, presidente y consejero delegado de XPO Logistics, explica: “La presentación y registro del Formulario 10 es un paso fundamental en nuestro plan de escisión. La división dará lugar a dos potencias industriales especializadas en el sector de cadena de suministro: XPO en transporte y GXO en logística, cada una de ellas con perspectivas de crecimiento reforzadas”.
Malcolm Wilson, consejero delegado de XPO Logistics Europe y futuro CEO de GXO según las previsiones actuales, ha comentado: “GXO adquirirá un mayor impulso como empresa independiente desde sus inicios, como se refleja en las sólidas previsiones para 2022 que publicamos hoy. Nuestro crecimiento está determinado por la demanda de los consumidores en cuanto a externalización y dos áreas de logística en las que estamos posicionados como líderes: automatización de almacenes e e-commerce”.
Presenta previsiones de EBITDA ajustado para el ejercicio 2021
XPO eleva su expectativa de EBITDA ajustado para el 2T de 2021 hasta al menos 490 millones de USD, basándose en unos resultados superiores a lo previsto de su segmento de transporte. Así, la compañía eleva sus perspectivas de EBITDA ajustado para el ejercicio completo 2021 de al menos 1.845.000 millones de USD a 1.895 millones de USD, en comparación con las previsiones anteriores (de 1.825.000 millones de USD a 1.875.000 millones de USD).
El nuevo rango del EBITDA ajustado para 2021 equivale a un incremento interanual del 32% al 36% sobre 2020, que comprende:
- crecimiento del 28% al 32% del EBITDA ajustado en el segmento de logística
- crecimiento del 32% al 36% del EBITDA ajustado en el segmento de transporte
Presenta previsiones de GXO para el ejercicio completo 2022
La empresa ha emitido las siguientes previsiones preliminares para el ejercicio 2022 de GXO, la escisión prevista de su segmento de logística, asumiendo que la división se producirá en 2021:
- Crecimiento de los ingresos orgánicos de un 8% a un 12% respecto al dato proforma de 2021
- EBITDA ajustado de 700 millones de USD a 735 millones de USD, que refleja un crecimiento interanual del 14% hasta el 20% por encima del dato proforma de 2021

About the GXO Spin-Off
XPO tiene previsto escindir su segmento de logística en el tercer trimestre de 2021 como GXO Logistics para crear dos potencias industriales independientes especializadas. Con la separación, se crearían dos sociedades cotizadas autónomas con identidades y ofertas de servicios claramente diferenciadas en mercados objetivo de enormes dimensiones. GXO sería la segunda mayor empresa de logística contractual del mundo y XPO sería proveedor líder global de servicios de transporte, principalmente en carga parcial y subcontratación de cargas. La operación de escisión está sujeta a varias condiciones, por lo que no puede asegurarse su conclusión o, en caso de producirse, sus condiciones o su momento exacto. Más información en gxo.com.

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 press release to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP, which are set forth in the financial tables attached to this release.
XPO’s and GXO’s non-GAAP financial measures used in this release include: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent expense (“adjusted EBITDAR”).
Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments for transaction and integration, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments as set forth in the attached tables. Transaction and integration adjustments are generally incremental costs that result from an actual or planned acquisition, divestiture or spin-off and may include transaction costs, consulting fees, retention awards, and internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities) and certain costs related to integrating and converging IT systems. Restructuring costs primarily relate to severance costs associated with business optimization initiatives. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating XPO’s, GXO’s and each business segment’s ongoing performance.
Adjusted EBITDAR excludes rent expense from Adjusted EBITDA and is useful to management and investors in evaluating GXO’s performance because adjusted EBITDAR considers the performance of GXO’s operations, excluding decisions made with respect to capital investment, financing and other non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDAR is also a measure commonly used by management, research analysts and investors to value companies in the logistics industry. Since adjusted EBITDAR excludes interest expense and rent expense, it allows management, research analysts and investors to compare the value of different companies without regard to differences in capital structures and leasing arrangements.
With respect to XPO’s full year 2021 financial targets for adjusted EBITDA and GXO’s full year 2022 financial targets for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAR, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort due to the variability and complexity of the reconciling items described above that we exclude from these non-GAAP target measures. 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 statement of income and statement of cash flows prepared in accordance with GAAP that would be required to produce such a reconciliation.
