JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Proficient Auto Logistics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PAL) (the "Company" or "Proficient") today reported its unaudited financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2025, and comparative summary financial information for the same time periods of 2024.

Full Year 2025 Summary (Full Year 2024 information on a combined basis)

Total Operating Revenue of $430.4 million, increased 10.7% from 2024

Total Operating Income (Loss) of ($32.3) million, versus $10.9 million in 2024. During the quarter, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $27.8 million as further detailed below. The charge reduced Operating Income but did not affect Adjusted Operating Income(1) or cash flows for the quarter or full year.

Adjusted Operating Income of $10.8 million, versus $19.5 million in 2024

Adjusted Operating Ratio(1) of 97.5% compared to 95.0% in 2024

Total Units delivered of 2,311,234, an increase of 16.2% from 2024

Rick O'Dell, Proficient's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Reflecting on 2025, the automotive market seemingly peaked in March and April ahead of tariff impacts, and the remainder of the year was weaker than our expectations. Despite that, we made significant progress in completing the integration of the five Founding Companies, Auto Transport Group, and Brothers Auto Transport; demonstrated our top line growth strategies via market share gains and acquisition; set a foundation for ongoing operating ratio reduction into 2026; improved our leverage and balance sheet position, while generating significant free cash flow despite the weaker than expected market conditions; all while delivering reliable, quality service to customers nationwide. We're excited about the future of the business and our enhanced performance capabilities, even as the external market remains similar to our experience over the latter part of last year."
