Third-party logistics provider Radiant Logistics beat fiscal fourth-quarter expectations Monday after the market closed. A volatile trade landscape is driving demand higher for its customs brokerage and compliance services. It also flagged further tightening in the domestic truckload and intermodal markets, which will propel financial results over time.
"While these market trends are not fully reflected in our results for the June quarter, we view these developments as constructive for our domestic operations in general and our U.S. Brokerage operations, in particular," said Bohn Crain, founder and CEO, in a news release. "If these trends continue, we believe they support a more broad-based and durable recovery for the domestic freight market."
The report sent shares of RLGT 16% higher in early trading on Tuesday versus the S&P 500, which was down 0.2%.
The Renton, Washington-based company reported revenue of $261 million for its fiscal fourth quarter, ended June 30. The result was 19% higher year over year and $30 million ahead of the consensus estimate.
Adjusted earnings per share of 15 cents ($7.4 million) were 4 cents higher y/y and 6 cents ahead of consensus. Disaster relief shipments following typhoons in the Western Pacific drove international airfreight results higher in the period.
