Expeditors reported Q4 FY2025 diluted EPS of USD 1.49 (down 11%) on revenue of USD 2.9 billion (down 3%). Operating income was USD 251 million (down 17%) and net earnings attributable to shareholders were USD 201 million (down 15%). In Q4, airfreight tonnage rose 6% while ocean container volume fell 6%. Management said air freight gross margins declined modestly on lower per-kilo profitability despite higher tonnage, citing higher buy rates driven by a surge in e-commerce and tech demand. In ocean freight, Expeditors said average revenue-per-container fell 41% versus Q4 FY2024 as capacity increased and volumes softened, partially offset by higher order management volumes and demand for forwarding and ancillary ocean services; the company said ocean rates may remain soft in FY2026 as capacity is likely to increase further as vessels resume Suez Canal transit. Expeditors returned USD 150 million to shareholders in Q4 and USD 875 million in FY2025 through dividends and share repurchases, and its board approved a new USD 3.0 billion share repurchase program.
