Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of GXO Logistics, Inc. (“GXO” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. On August 2, 2021, the Company completed the separation from XPO Logistics, Inc. (“XPO”) (the “Separation”). Prior to the Separation, the Company’s financial statements were prepared on a standalone combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of XPO. On August 2, 2021, the Company became a standalone publicly-traded company, and its financial statements post-Separation are prepared on a consolidated basis. The combined consolidated financial statements for all periods presented prior to the Separation are now also referred to as “condensed consolidated financial statements” and have been prepared under GAAP. Prior to the Separation, the Company’s historical assets and liabilities presented were wholly owned by XPO and were reflected on a historical cost basis. In connection with the Separation, the Company’s assets and liabilities were transferred to the Company on a carryover basis. Prior to the Separation, the historical results of operations included allocations of XPO costs and expenses, including XPO’s corporate function, which incurred a variety of expenses including, but not limited to, information technology, human resources, accounting, sales and sales operations, procurement, executive services, legal, corporate finance and communications. An allocation of these expenses is included to burden all business units comprising XPO’s historical results of operations, including GXO. The charges reflected have been either specifically identified or allocated using drivers including proportional adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which include adjustments for transaction and integration costs, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments, or headcount. The majority of these allocated costs is recorded within Selling, general and administrative expense; Depreciation and amortization expense; and Transaction and integration costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GXO and its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company presents its operations as one reportable segment. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the guidance. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference rate reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022. The Company intends to apply this guidance when modifications of contracts that include LIBOR occur, which is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisitions	3. Acquisitions Clipper Acquisition On May 24, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Clipper Logistics plc (“Clipper”), an omnichannel retail logistics specialist based in Leeds, England (the “Clipper Acquisition”). The Company acquired Clipper for $1,103 million, consisting of $900 million in cash and the issuance of 3,749,266 shares of GXO common stock having a value of $203 million. The Competition and Markets Authority (the “CMA”) in the U.K. is currently reviewing the Clipper Acquisition. The Company estimates that the CMA’s review of the acquisition will be completed during the second half of 2022. The Company incurred transaction and financing costs related to the Clipper Acquisition of $20 million and $34 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which are included in Transaction and integration costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In connection with the Clipper Acquisition, (i) the Company and Clipper entered into a Cooperation Agreement; (ii) the Company entered into a Term Loan; (iii) the Company entered into a Five-Year Term Loan; and (iv) the Company terminated its Bridge Term Loan agreement. For additional information regarding the financing agreements entered in connection with the Clipper Acquisition, see Note 6—Debt and Financing Arrangements. Clipper’s results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The Company recorded $80 million and $1 million of revenue and income before income taxes for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on management’s estimate of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date: (In millions) ASSETS Current assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 26 Accounts receivable 146 Other current assets 63 Total current assets 235 Long-term assets Property and equipment 83 Operating lease assets 235 Intangible assets 340 Other long-term assets 25 Total long-term assets 683 Total assets $ 918 LIABILITIES Current liabilities Accounts payable $ 87 Accrued expenses 104 Short-term borrowings and obligations under finance leases 54 Current operating lease liabilities 37 Other current liabilities 45 Total current liabilities 327 Long-term liabilities Long-term debt and obligations under finance leases 10 Long-term operating lease liabilities 221 Other long-term liabilities 105 Total long-term liabilities 336 Total liabilities $ 663 Net assets purchased $ 255 Cash paid $ 900 Common stock issued (1) 203 Purchase price paid $ 1,103 Goodwill recorded (2) $ 848 (1) Represents the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date. (2) Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Goodwill acquired was recorded in the European reporting unit and was primarily attributed to anticipated synergies. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained and reviewed. The final allocation of the purchase price may differ from the preliminary allocation based on completion of the valuation. The Company expects to finalize purchase price allocation within the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to lease assets and liabilities, intangible assets and goodwill. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the Company’s results of operations as if the acquisition of Clipper occurred on January 1, 2021. The pro forma results reflect the impact of incremental interest expense, net of hedging instruments, to finance the acquisition and amortization expense on acquired intangible assets. Adjustments have also been made to remove transaction related costs. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the results of operations of the combined company would have been had the acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2021. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, (In millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Revenue $ 2,334 $ 2,146 $ 4,695 $ 4,236 Income before income taxes 91 15 154 40 Kuehne + Nagel Acquisition In January 2021, the Company acquired the majority of Kuehne + Nagel’s contract logistics operations in the U.K. Kuehne + Nagel’s operations provide a range of logistics services, including inbound and outbound distribution, reverse logistics management and inventory management.

Operating and finance lease assets and liabilities, goodwill and intangible assets acquired were approximately $300 million, $16 million and $26 million, respectively.

Five-Year Term Loan On May 25, 2022, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured Term Loan (the “Five-Year Term Loan due 2027”) that provided a $500 million unsecured term loan facility to fund the Clipper Acquisition. On May 26, 2022, the Company borrowed $500 million that will mature on May 26, 2027. The loan bears interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, the alternate base rate or the adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s credit ratings. Delayed Draw Term Loan On March 22, 2022, the Company entered into an unsecured delayed draw Term Loan (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”) that provided a £375 million ($457 million as of June 30, 2022) unsecured term loan facility to fund the Clipper Acquisition.

On May 26, 2022, the Company borrowed, in U.S. dollars, a $165 million 2-year term loan tranche (the “Two-Year Term Loan due 2024”) and a $235 million 3-year term loan tranche (the “Three-Year Term Loan due 2025”) that will mature on May 26, 2024 and May 26, 2025, respectively. Loans bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, the alternate base rate or the adjusted SOFR, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s credit ratings. Bridge Term Loan On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into an unsecured Bridge Term Loan (the “Bridge Term Loan”) that provided a £745 million ($907 million as of June 30, 2022) unsecured term loan facility to fund the Clipper Acquisition. The commitments under the Bridge Term Loan were terminated with the effectiveness of the Five-Year Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan. No amounts were drawn under the Bridge Term Loan credit agreement. Revolving Credit Facility In 2021, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility provides commitments of up to $800 million, of which $60 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022. Sales of Certain Receivables The Company sells certain of its trade accounts receivables on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions under various factoring agreements. The Company also sold certain European trade accounts receivables under a securitization program. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company terminated its securitization program. The Company accounts for these transactions as sales of receivables and presents cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company uses the sale of certain receivables to help manage its working capital.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments	7. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments Fair value is defined 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. The levels of inputs used to measure fair value are: • 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. Assets and liabilities The Company bases its fair value estimates on market assumptions and available information. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current maturities of long-term debt approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, due to their short-term nature. Debt The fair value of debt was as follows: June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 (In millions) Level Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value 1.65% Unsecured notes due 2026 2 $ 346 $ 397 $ 391 $ 397 2.65% Unsecured notes due 2031 2 312 396 394 396 Two-Year Term Loan due 2024 2 165 165 — — Three-Year Term Loan due 2025 2 235 234 — — Five-Year Term Loan due 2027 2 500 499 — — Financial Instruments The Company directly manages its exposure to risks arising from business operations and economic factors, including fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the volatility related to these exposures. The objective of these derivative instruments is to reduce fluctuations in 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. The Company does not expect to incur any losses as a result of counterparty default. Net Investment Hedges The Company uses fixed-to-fixed or variable-to-variable cross-currency swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the associated foreign currencies. The Company designated these cross-currency swap agreements as qualifying hedging instruments and accounts for them as net investment hedges. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company extended certain fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements scheduled to mature between 2022 to 2027, with an aggregate notional amount of $322 million. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company extended a fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreement scheduled to mature in 2026 to 2027, with an aggregate notional amount of $165 million. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into multiple cross-currency swap agreements with maturity dates ranging from 2023 to 2027, with an aggregate notional amount of $900 million, of which $250 million was amended during the quarter. In connection with the extensions and amendments, the Company received cash of $2 million and $12 million representing the fair value of the swap and interest accrued through the date of termination for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability of cash flows resulting from floating interest rate borrowings. The Company designated these interest rate swap agreements as qualifying hedging instruments and accounts for them as cash flow hedges. When an interest rate swap agreement qualifies for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge, the changes in the fair value are recorded in equity as a component of AOCI and are reclassified into Interest expense, net over the life of the underlying debt, as interest on the Company’s floating rate debt is accrued. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into multiple interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $250 million. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations including foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company uses foreign currency option contracts to mitigate the risk of a reduction in the value of earnings from its operations that use the Euro or British pound sterling as their functional currency. Additionally, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate exposure from variability of cash flows related to the forecasted interest and principal payments on intercompany loans. The foreign currency forward contracts generally expire within 12 months. While these derivatives are hedging the fluctuations in foreign currencies, they do not meet the requirements to be accounted for as hedging instruments. Derivatives The fair value of derivative instruments and the related notional amounts were as follows: June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 (In millions) Notional Amount Fair Value Notional Amount Fair Value Balance Sheet Caption Derivatives designated as hedges Assets: Cross-currency swap agreements $ 1,387 $ 28 $ — $ — Other long-term assets Liabilities: Cross-currency swap agreements $ — $ — $ 328 $ 4 Other current liabilities Cross-currency swap agreements — — 165 4 Other long-term liabilities Interest rate swaps 250 1 — — Other long-term liabilities Derivatives not designated as hedges Assets: Foreign currency option contracts $ 215 $ 23 $ 368 $ 11 Other current assets Foreign currency option contracts — — 37 1 Other long-term assets Liabilities: Foreign currency forward contracts $ 15 $ — $ — $ — Other current liabilities As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the derivatives were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The derivatives are valued using inputs other than quoted prices such as foreign exchange rates and yield curves. Derivatives designated as hedges The effect of hedges on AOCI and in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 (In millions) Amount of Gain or (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income on Derivative Gain or (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Net Income (1) Gain or (Loss) Recognized in Net Income on Derivative (Excluded from effectiveness testing) (1) Amount of Gain or (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income on Derivative Gain or (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Net Income (1) Gain or (Loss) Recognized in Net Income on Derivative (Excluded from effectiveness testing) (1) Derivatives designated as net investment hedges Cross-currency swap agreements $ 43 $ 2 $ — $ 46 $ 2 $ 2 Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges Interest rate swaps $ (1) $ — $ — $ (1) $ — $ — (1) Amounts reclassified to net income are reported within Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no derivative instruments recorded in the consolidated financial statements on or before June 30, 2021. Derivatives not designated as hedges The gains recognized in earnings for foreign currency option and forward contracts were $16 million and $24 million, of which $9 million and $15 million were unrealized, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. These amounts are recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	11. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of its business. These proceedings may include personal injury claims arising from the handling and transportation of goods, contractual disputes and employment-related claims, including alleged violations of wage and hour laws. 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. The Company reviews and adjusts accruals for loss contingencies quarterly and 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, 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 discloses 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 management’s assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. Management of the Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. Management of 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 are deemed sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting its operations. In the event the Company is required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively impacted.

Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of GXO Logistics, Inc. (“GXO” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the guidance. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference rate reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022. The Company intends to apply this guidance when modifications of contracts that include LIBOR occur, which is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
