Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September, 19, 2012, XPO Logistics, Inc. announced the following preliminary expected financial results for the quarter ending September 30, 2012:
Our current fiscal quarter ends on September 30, 2012 and, accordingly, our financial results for the quarter are not yet available. Based on information available to us as of September 19, 2012, we expect that for the quarter ending September 30, 2012, total operating revenue will be between $68.0 million and $72.0 million, with a gross margin of between $9.5 million and $10.5 million, and that we will record an operating loss of between $9.0 million and $10.5 million. These preliminary expected ranges anticipate that our financial results will be impacted by: (i) investments in our cold-start program, which is progressing ahead of plan; (ii) one-time costs associated with the purchase of Kelron Corporate Services Inc.; (iii) an economic environment that impacts demand for our expedited services; and (iv) expenses associated with certain pending litigation. In addition, we anticipate that our net loss and loss per share will be impacted by a lower tax benefit if, as expected, we do not record deferred tax assets during the three months ending September 30, 2012, resulting in a lower effective tax rate.
Our expectations regarding our results for the quarter ending September 30, 2012, are forward-looking statements based solely on management estimates utilizing currently available information. As described under caption “Forward-Looking Statements” (below), investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to our expected results and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to these expectations.
The information furnished in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. This information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the registrant specifically incorporates any such information by reference.
Forward-Looking Statements
This current report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terms. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.
These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to a material difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our filings with the SEC and the following: economic conditions generally; competition; our ability to find suitable acquisition candidates and execute our acquisition strategy; our ability to raise capital; our ability to attract and retain key employees to execute our growth strategy; our ability to develop and implement a suitable information technology system; our ability to maintain positive relationships with our network of third-party transportation providers; and governmental regulation. All forward-looking statements set forth in this current report are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on us or our business or operations. Forward-looking statements set forth in this current report speak only as of the date hereof and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, changes in expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events.
