Schneider National cut its full-year guidance for adjusted profit after results from its network business dragged down revenue in the third quarter.
The Green Bay, Wis.-based trucking and intermodal freight provider reported a profit of $30.6 million, or 17 cents a share, in the quarter, compared with a profit of $35.6 million, or 20 cents a share, a year earlier. Analysts polled by FactSet expected 23 cents.
Intermodal transportation refers to the movement of cargo using more than one mode of transportation
Stripping out certain one-time items, the company posted an adjusted profit of 18 cents a share, below the 23 cents expected by analysts.
Revenue fell to $1.32 billion from $1.35 billion a year earlier, just missing the $1.33 billion expected by analysts.
Chief Executive Mark Rourke said the company's long-term contract and intermodal businesses both performed well in the quarter. Pricing in the company's network truck business, which covers one-way shipments that are not for long-term contracts, continued its positive momentum, but Rourke said results are under pressure, as seasonal momentum was not sustained during the quarter.
Schneider now expects adjusted per-share earnings of 66 cents to 72 cents for 2024, down from its prior guidance for 80 cents to 90 cents. Analysts polled by FactSet are expecting 82 cents.
