Proficient Auto Logistics Q3 operating revenue misses estimates
PAL•Proficient Auto Logistics' third-quarter operating revenue rose 30% year over year to $148.97 million, below the $157.03 million consensus estimate. The company reported $7.91 million in adjusted EBITDA and expects to complete the Hansen & Adkins integration by the end of Q1 2027.
1. Revenue and results
Third-quarter operating revenue rose 30% year over year to $148.97 million, missing the $157.03 million consensus estimate from four analysts. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.91 million, and adjusted operating income was $263,000.
2. Acquisition and costs
The revenue and delivery-volume increases primarily reflected the addition of Hansen & Adkins from August 13, 2026. Elevated costs, particularly for insurance, driver wages, recruiting and equipment maintenance, weighed on margins; fuel surcharges also did not fully offset higher fuel expenses.
3. Integration outlook
Proficient expects to complete the Hansen & Adkins integration by the end of Q1 2027 and achieve the high end of its initial $6 million-$10 million synergy range by year-end 2026.
