Landstar System Inc (NASDAQ:LSTR) exceeded the high end of their guidance for the number of loads hauled via truck, marking the first time in at least 15 years that first-quarter loads exceeded the previous fourth quarter.
The company reported a 6% year-over-year increase in heavy haul revenue, driven by a 3% increase in both heavy haul revenue per load and volume.
Landstar System Inc (NASDAQ:LSTR) maintained a strong balance sheet with $473 million in cash and short-term investments, and continued to return capital to shareholders through $61 million in share repurchases and $83 million in dividends.
The company reported a strong safety performance with an accident frequency rate of 0.69 DOT reportable accidents per million miles, well below the national average.
Landstar System Inc (NASDAQ:LSTR) experienced a 14% increase in ocean revenue per shipment and a 19% increase in air revenue per shipment, contributing to an 8% increase in non-truck transportation service revenue.
Landstar System Inc (NASDAQ:LSTR) faced a $4.8 million pretax charge due to a supply chain fraud in their international freight forwarding operations, impacting earnings per share.
The company experienced highly elevated insurance and claims costs, which were 9.3% of BCO revenue, significantly above the historical average of 4.9%.
Revenue per truckload decreased by 0.6% compared to the previous year, with a 2.1% decrease in revenue per load on loads hauled by truck brokerage carriers.
The freight environment was characterized by relatively soft demand, weather impacts, and readily available truck capacity, which favored shippers and impacted Landstar's revenue performance.
BCO truck count decreased approximately 8% year-over-year, with a sequential decline of 223 trucks from the fourth quarter of 2024.
Q: Can you elaborate on the insurance developments and how much of the prior period claims are one-time in nature? A: Frank Lonegro, President and CEO, explained that the year-over-year difference in prior year development was significant, around $10 million to $11 million, making it a unique quarter. James Todd, CFO, added that of the $11 million unfavorable development, about $7 million came from cargo programs due to incidents not reported until the first quarter of 2025. The normal run rate is just below 5% of BCO revenue on net insurance and claims line.
Q: What are the end markets within heavy haul that are performing well? A: Jim Applegate, Chief Corporate Sales, Strategy and Specialized Freight Officer, noted that growth in heavy haul has been broad-based, with machinery, electrical, building products, and the energy industry all contributing. The company has leaned into this area with additional resources and a dedicated sales focus.
Q: How will the new English proficiency requirements for CDL operators impact the driver supply market? A: Frank Lonegro stated that the requirements are not expected to impact Landstar's BCO fleet due to their high standards. However, it may impact industry capacity favorably for Landstar. Matthew Miller, Chief Safety and Operations Officer, added that enforcement guidance is awaited, and up to 100,000 drivers could be impacted, particularly those using translation apps.
Q: Can you explain the increase in truck brokerage carriers and its implications? A: Matthew Miller explained that the increase is due to a partnership with an industry-leading vendor on carrier vetting, giving access to more approved carriers. This allows Landstar to be more selective with business partners, and the numbers are expected to decrease as they become more selective.
Q: What are the expectations for the freight environment in the near term? A: Frank Lonegro mentioned that while the freight environment remains challenging, there are positives such as the performance of the heavy haul service offering. The company expects to finish above Q1 revenues but below Q2 2024 revenues, with variable contribution margin potentially better than the typical 30 to 40 basis point sequential decline.

Rocket Lab Schedules Third Electron Launch in 24 Days to Deploy Next Mission for iQPS
LONG BEACH, Calif., June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rocket Lab Corporation (Nasdaq: RKLB) ("Rocket Lab" or "the Company"), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced the launch window for its next mission for multi-launch customer, Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space, Inc. (iQPS), a Japan-based Earth imaging company. The mission, named 'The Mountain God Guards,' will launch from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand during a launch window that opens on June 10, 2025 UTC. The mission will launch a single synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging satellite called QPS-SAR-11 (nicknamed YAMATSUMI-I for the Japanese god of mountains) to a 575km circular Earth orbit, from where the satellite will join the rest of the iQPS constellation in providing high resolution images and Earth monitoring services globally. The mission is the latest in an accelerated cadence of launches of Electron, the world's most-frequently launched orbital small rocket. 'The Mountain God Guards' will be the Company's third Electron launch in just 24 days - and the fourth dedicated launch for iQPS to build out their satellite constellation - that demonstrates repeatable, reliable, and dedicated access to space for small satellite constellation operators. Overall, Rocket Lab has deployed three Electron missions for iQPS with 100% mission success: 'The Lightning God Reigns' and 'The Sea God Sees' were successfully deployed to space by Electron earlier this year as the first two missions of an eight-launch contract across 2025 and 2026 for iQPS; while an additional third launch, 'The Moon God Awakens,' was successfully launched in December 2023. "The Mountain God Guards" will be Rocket Lab's eighth mission of 2025, its 66th Electron launch overall, and will bring the total number of satellites delivered to space by Electron to 227. "The Mountain God Guards" mission information: "The Mountain God Guards" launch window opens: 15:45 UTC, June 10th 11:45 am Eastern, June 10th 8:45 am Pacific, June 10th 3:45 am NZT, June 11th About Rocket Lab Founded in 2006, Rocket Lab is an end-to-end space company with an established track record of mission success. We deliver reliable launch services, satellite manufacture, spacecraft components, and on-orbit management solutions that make it faster, easier, and more affordable to access space. Headquartered in Long Beach, California, Rocket Lab designs and manufactures the Electron small orbital launch vehicle, a family of spacecraft platforms, and the Company is developing the large Neutron launch vehicle for constellation deployment. Since its first orbital launch in January 2018, Rocket Lab's Electron launch vehicle has become the second most frequently launched U.S. rocket annually and has delivered over 200 satellites to orbit for private and public sector organizations, enabling operations in national security, scientific research, space debris mitigation, Earth observation, climate monitoring, and communications. Rocket Lab's spacecraft platforms have been selected to support NASA missions to the Moon and Mars, as well as the first private commercial mission to Venus. Rocket Lab has three launch pads at two launch sites, including two launch pads at a private orbital launch site located in New Zealand and a third launch pad in Virginia.

Informa TechTarget Reports 2024 Full Year Financial Results
NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TechTarget, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTGT), ('Informa TechTarget' or the 'Company'), a leading growth accelerator for the B2B Technology sector, published full year results for 2024, delivering reported Revenue of $285m and Combined Company Revenue of $490m (1). Gary Nugent, Chief Executive, Informa TechTarget, said: 'Informa TechTarget delivered a robust performance in 2024. In 2025, the focus is on laying the foundations in Brands, Products, Go-To-Market and Talent, while over-delivering on cost synergies.' He added: 'Our business sits at the intersection of Technology and B2B Marketing, a $20bn addressable market. Through combination, we are creating the scale, talent and operating platform to further nurture and build specialist audiences and deliver increasing value for customers.' 2024 Full Year Results Reported results for 2024 reflect the structure of the combination, comprising 12 months contribution from the Informa Tech digital businesses and around one month's contribution from the legacy TechTarget business, being the period from completion of the transaction (December 2, 2024) through to year-end. On this basis, reported revenues were $285m, with a GAAP net loss of $117m, the latter reflecting the small contribution period of TechTarget, acquisition and integration costs, and non-cash impairments at the point of combination. Adjusted EBITDA was $31m. On a Combined Company basis, assuming the combination was in effect from January 1, 2024, Informa TechTarget delivered full year revenues of $490m (1), in line with previous guidance. This equates to broadly flat underlying performance for the year, reflecting the subdued market backdrop, with activity levels impacted by geo-political tensions and macro-economic uncertainty. The Combined Company net loss was $166m (1) and Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA was $82m. The latter included certain non-recurring operating costs relating to the combination, including an allocation of the Informa Group's central costs to the Informa Tech digital businesses in 2024, a portion of which are included in transitional services agreements entered into on the Closing Date. Financial Summary (1) Combined Company measure which represents Informa TechTarget's performance for the year ended December 31, 2024 as if the acquisition of Former TechTarget had occurred on January 1, 2023 and is not necessarily indicative of Informa TechTarget's performance that may have actually occurred had the acquisition of Former TechTarget been completed on January 1, 2023. (2) Denotes a non-GAAP financial measure. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for explanations of these measures and reconciliations to a comparable GAAP measure. Expand The Company has also filed the full set of 2024 financial statements and the Annual Report on Form 10-K on May 28, 2025 which is available at Balance Sheet and Liquidity The Company has a strong balance sheet and liquidity position. As previously disclosed, at December 31, 2024, the Company held approximately $354m in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. The Company also had approximately $416m of outstanding Convertible Senior Notes. In line with the terms of the notes, an offer was made to repurchase all of the 2025 and 2026 Convertible Senior Notes for cash, with all but $7,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2026 notes tendered for repurchase by note holders during the first quarter of 2025. The repurchase did not have a material impact on net debt after completion of the repurchase in 2025 but removes convertible debt from the balance sheet, reducing potential dilution and simplifying capital structure. The Company utilized $135m of its $250m revolving credit facility with Informa Group Holdings Limited. Outlook In 2025, which we consider to be The Foundation Year for Informa TechTarget, the focus is on combining our strengths across Brands, Product, Go-To-Market and Talent to position the business for long-term growth. We are operating the business in a subdued environment, which has not been helped by recent financial market volatility. Our guidance remains in line with previous commentary, with a target for broadly flat like-for-like revenue growth in 2025. We are targeting an increase in Adjusted EBITDA in the year, supported by the over-delivery of combination synergies and non-recurrence of one-off combination costs that were included within the 2024 results. The market backdrop has remained uncertain in the first half of the year, and we anticipate a low to mid-single digit year-on-year decline in revenues across the first half period, with sequential improvement from Q1 to Q2. The Company moved quickly in January and February to accelerate combination activity, which caused some short-term disruption but has ensured we entered Q2 with clarity on reporting lines and leadership, product strategy and road map focused on delivering for customers. We are targeting the growth trajectory to further improve through the second half of the year, as our expanded customer and go-to-market strategy gains momentum, delivering broadly consistent year-on-year revenue performance. Following the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2024, we will report Q1 2025 results on or before June 30, 2025. Based on the work performed to date, we anticipate a non-cash impairment of goodwill in the first quarter of 2025 as a result of the decline in the Company's stock price and the reduction in its market capitalization relative to current book values. Beyond near-term market dynamics and The Foundation Year, we remain confident in the medium-term growth opportunities for Informa TechTarget, underpinned by innovation and growth in enterprise technology and the increasing demand for more efficient, data-driven B2B digital services. Combination Program: 2025 - The Foundation Year The Combination Program to successfully integrate the legacy companies is well underway, with all Executive and Senior Leadership appointments completed, and reporting lines and responsibilities confirmed. The restructuring of our sales organization has been accelerated, including a unified go-to-market strategy that prioritizes large customer accounts through dedicated service teams. Product strategy work is advancing well, including a repositioning of NetLine to the volume end of the market and re-shaping the Intelligence & Advisory portfolio to better meet evolving customer demand. In 2025, we are tracking well ahead of the Year 1 operating cost synergy target of $5m, with a high degree of confidence in our expectation to meet or beat the $45m overall run rate synergies targeted by Year 3 ($25m cost synergies and $20m profit benefit from revenue synergies). Our focus on combination and over-delivering on operating synergies gives us confidence in growing adjusted EBITDA in 2025, even with the relatively flat backdrop for revenues.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release and the accompanying tables include a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA Margin, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures which are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. 'Adjusted EBITDA' means earnings before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, other income and expenses such as asset impairment and impairment related to goodwill, and costs related to mergers, acquisitions or reduction in forces expenses, if any. 'Adjusted EBITDA Margin' means Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue. 'Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA' means earnings before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, other income and expenses such as asset impairment and impairment related to goodwill, and costs related to mergers, acquisitions or reduction in forces expenses, if any. See Footnote 5 of the Company's Form 10-K for December 31, 2024 for the unaudited pro forma revenue and net loss. The items included in the calculation assume the acquisition of Former TechTarget had occurred on January 1, 2023. 'Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA Margin' means Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA divided by Combined Company Revenue. 'Combined Company Revenue' means revenue calculated as if the acquisition of Former TechTarget occurred on January 1, 2023. See Footnote of the Company's Form 10-K for December 31, 2024. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA Margin, may not be comparable to the definitions as reported by other companies. We believe that these measures provide relevant and useful information to enable us and investors to compare our operating performance using an additional measurement. We use these measures in our internal management reporting and planning process as primary measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, as well as potential acquisitions. The components of Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA include the key revenue and expense items for which our operating managers are responsible and upon which we evaluate their performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in presentations to our Board of Directors. Furthermore, we intend to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the accompanying tables, except that full reconciliations of certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures are not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and financial impact of certain significant items. These items include, but not limited to, acquisition and integration costs, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other expenses, asset impairment, and the income tax effect of these items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, our recent acquisition of Former TechTarget and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the relevant period.
