Nature of Operations
XPO, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“XPO” or “we”), is a leading provider of freight transportation services. We use our proprietary technology to move goods efficiently through our customers’ supply chains in North America and Europe. See Note 4—Segment Reporting and Geographic Information for additional information on our operations.
Strategic Actions
In March 2022, our Board of Directors approved a strategic plan for the spin-off of our tech-enabled brokered transportation platform as a new public company, separating it from our LTL business in North America; which was completed in 2022. Additionally, the plan included the sale of our intermodal operation, which was also completed in 2022; and the intended divestiture of our European business. There can be no assurance that the divestiture will occur, or of the terms or timing of a transaction.
On November 1, 2022, we completed the spin-off of our tech-enabled brokered transportation platform as a publicly traded company, RXO, Inc. (“RXO”). The transaction is intended to be tax-free to XPO and our shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The spin-off was accomplished by the distribution of 100% of the outstanding common stock of RXO to XPO shareholders. RXO is an independent public company trading under the symbol “RXO” on the New York Stock Exchange.
In addition to the transactions related to our March 2022 strategic plan, we completed the spin-off of our logistics segment as GXO Logistics, Inc. (“GXO”) on August 2, 2021. The historical results of operations and the financial positions of GXO, RXO and our intermodal operation are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. The intermodal operation qualified to be accounted for as a discontinued operation after the spin-off of RXO because the sale of the intermodal operation and RXO were part of one strategic plan of disposal. For information on our discontinued operations, see Note 3—Discontinued Operations.
