Universal Logistics Holdings shares tumbled after the company swung to a loss in the first quarter, driven by a steep operating revenue declines.
Shares of the transportation and logistics solutions company fell 23%, $16.85. Despite the intraday decline, shares are up 9% year to date.
The transportation and logistics company on Friday posted a loss of $3.5 million, or 13 cents a share, compared with a profit of $6 million, or 23 cents a share, a year earlier.
Operating revenue fell to $367.6 million from $382.4 million in the year-ago period. Operating revenues in the intermodal segment decreased 32.3% to $47.9 million in the first quarter. Trucking operating revenues decreased 9.7% to $50.2 million.
Chief Executive Tim Philips said the company had a slow start to the year caused by continued weakness in its intermodal segment marked by including lower volumes and pricing pressure.
