CEO Comments

Malcolm Wilson, chief executive officer of GXO, said, “We executed extremely well in the third quarter. We reported strong net income growth, as well as the highest revenue and adjusted EBITDA of any quarter in our operations’ history despite unprecedented near-term global supply chain challenges. Our sales pipeline reached a record level, fueled by significant new customer demand. Looking ahead, we expect continued growth driven by the three massive secular tailwinds of automation, e-commerce and outsourcing.”

“In the third quarter, we won new customer contracts with an aggregate lifetime value of over $1 billion, positioning us well to deliver on our expected 2022 organic revenue growth of 8% to 12%. Our revenue retention rate has improved through 2021 versus the number reported at our investor day, demonstrating our customers’ loyalty to GXO’s value-added solutions.”

“We’re pleased that GXO has been recognized by MSCI with a ‘AA’ ESG rating, affirming our industry leadership. As a business, we want to set the benchmark for ESG across the supply chain and we’re making good progress on our targets for 2025 and beyond. We look forward to implementing more carbon negative warehouses and empowering our team members with our automated solutions.”

“GXO leads the industry in warehouse technology. As of September 30, 2021, total technology and automated systems in our warehouses were up 139% from the prior year. We believe our technology and scale will continue to differentiate our business, while delivering significant benefits to our shareholders, customers and team members.

Wilson concluded, “With our clear recent momentum, we’ve raised expectations for our full year revenue and pro forma adjusted EBITDA targets. While we remain vigilant given the tough environment, our 2022 forecast remains unchanged.”

As of September 30, 2021, GXO had approximately $1.1 billion of total liquidity and $974 million of total debt. The company’s net leverage was 1.3x, calculated as net debt of $757 million, divided by the last twelve months adjusted EBITDA of $583 million for the period ended September 30, 2021.
