What Happened?

On May 7, 2026, Forward Air reported its first quarter 2026 financial results and provided a customer and strategic alternatives update.

The Company also disclosed a net loss of $40.2 million and a net loss attributable to Forward Air of $34.3 million, or $1.09 per diluted share.

Forward Air also disclosed that it was “currently in active discussions with one of its largest customers” regarding “the transition of a significant portion of their business with the Company to other providers.” Forward Air further disclosed that the customer represented approximately $250 million of the Company’s revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and was not a customer of Forward Air’s Less Than Truckload or Intermodal businesses.
