Organic revenue rose 2% in the quarter. The company secured about $270 million in annualized revenue from new business wins.

GXO’s pipeline reached a new twelve-month high of $2.3 billion. Adjusted EBITDA came in at $187 million, compared to $190 million in the same period a year earlier.

“During the quarter, we also completed our acquisition of Wincanton, which will provide a platform for GXO to grow in aerospace & defense and industrials across Europe.”

FY24 Outlook Reaffirmed: The company continues to expect organic revenue growth of 2% to 5%, adjusted EBITDA of $805 million-$835 million, adjusted EPS of $2.73 to $2.93 (vs. cons. of $2.78), and free cash flow conversion of 30% to 40% of adjusted EBITDA.
