GXO Logistics Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Results
GXO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: GXO) announced results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2021. GXO Logistics reported Q4 EPS of 73c versus the consensus estimate of 52c. The company reported Q4 revenue of $2.26B versus the consensus estimate of $2.05B.
Malcolm Wilson, chief executive officer of GXO, said, “Following an immensely successful holiday peak season, GXO reported its highest-ever quarterly revenue and adjusted EBITDA1 for the fourth quarter of 2021. We delivered double-digit organic revenue growth in every quarter of 2021 and grew 19% in the fourth quarter. More than ever, customers are demanding innovation, and our combination of industry-leading technology, global scale and world-class talent continues to set GXO apart. We’re pioneering automated and ESG-focused solutions that improve safety and lower the carbon footprint of global supply chains, and we look forward to publishing our first sustainability report later this year. We see significant growth opportunities heading into 2022, as the tailwinds of e-commerce, automation and outsourcing continue unabated. Our new contract wins and sales pipeline are the highest they’ve ever been, which, along with our improved revenue retention rate, position us extremely well to deliver our 8% to 12% organic revenue growth target in 2022. Moreover, we continue to realize benefits from our 2021 acquisition in the U.K. which, in addition to two recent technology customer wins, has already achieved synergies of over $30 million, equivalent to approximately 5% of its sales. With this clear and consistent momentum, we are raising guidance for the full-year, and we intend to outline our long-term targets to the investment community later this year.”
