New in FY2025

  • In particular, we recently hired a new Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Commercial Officer, which officer assumed the duties of our former Chief Revenue Officer, and have announced changes in our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer.
  • If we are unable to attract, successfully onboard and retain such individuals, we may be unable to maintain our current competitive position within the industry, meet our customers’ expectations or successfully expand and grow our business.
  • In addition, macro-economic headwinds such as inflation and supply chain disruptions may increase the potential for labor shortages and heightened levels of employee turnover.
  • On June 19, 2025, we announced that the UK Competition and Markets Authority (“CMA”) had cleared GXO’s acquisition of Wincanton plc (“Wincanton”) subject to the divestment of a small number of Wincanton grocery contracts in the UK, and that integration would be permitted with the vast majority of the Wincanton business once certain administrative conditions were met.
  • Those conditions were met in the fall of 2025 and the integration of Wincanton into GXO has commenced.
  • However, GXO has yet to divest of a small number of Wincanton grocery contracts as required by the CMA and we are unable to predict all the risks that could arise as a result of our divestment of these contracts or failure to achieve a successful divestment.
  • With the increase in the use of social media outlets such as LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, adverse publicity can be disseminated quickly and broadly, making it increasingly difficult for us to effectively respond.
  • Risks Related to the Use of Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies.
  • We use, and intend on continuing to expand our use of, machine learning and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies to deliver our services and operate our business, including to optimize our operations, improve efficiency, and enhance customer solutions across our global logistics network.
  • Our use of AI subjects us to risks related to accuracy, intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, data privacy, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance, among others, and deficiencies or failures of our AI systems could subject us to competitive harm, regulatory action, penalties, legal liability, or reputational harm.
  • Compliance with existing and future laws and regulations governing AI could be significant, may increase our operating expenses, require changes to our systems or processes, and could materially limit our ability to incorporate certain AI capabilities into our operations.
  • In addition, our reliance on data obtained from internal systems, customers, vendors, cloud providers, and other third parties increases the risk that flawed, incomplete, biased, or compromised data could negatively impact AI-driven outputs and decision-making.
  • Despite measures we have implemented to manage these risks, our systems may remain vulnerable, and a failure to prevent, detect, or mitigate issues arising from the use of AI could result in operational disruptions, unauthorized access to or disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, litigation, regulatory enforcement actions, fines or penalties, increased costs, and reputational damage.
  • Additionally, competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI, automation, robotics, or other emerging technologies into their operations more quickly or more successfully than we do, or develop superior solutions using such technologies, which could impair our ability to compete effectively.
  • We are and plan on continuing to invest in emerging technologies, including humanoid robots, and such investments may not be successful, may not deliver the expected operational benefits, may require significant ongoing capital expenditures and operational changes, or may result in additional liabilities.
  • It is not possible to predict all of the risks related to the use of AI and emerging technologies, and the occurrence of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.
  • We are subject to claims and litigation related to our customer contracts and relationships, labor and employment, personal injury, vehicular accidents, cargo and other property damage, business practices, environmental liability and other matters, including claims asserted under various other theories of agency or employer liability.
  • On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21) was signed into law.
  • The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others effective through 2027.
  • Additionally, various jurisdictions, such as the State of California, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, have enacted legislation requiring certain companies to disclose climate-related financial risk as well as GHG emissions, and other non-financial information.
  • Certain jurisdictions have enacted legislation requiring certain companies to look into their supply chain and more actively manage risk and disclose non-financial metrics such as GHG emissions and health and safety.
  • In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control.
  • As of December 31, 2025, the remaining authorization under the Repurchase Plan was $300 million.

Gone since FY2024

  • If we are unable to attract and retain such individuals, we may be unable to maintain our current competitive position within the industry, meet our customers’ expectations or successfully expand and grow our business.
  • In addition, macro-economic headwinds such as inflation and supply change disruptions may increase the potential for labor shortages and heightened levels of employee turnover.
  • With the increase in the use of social media outlets such as LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, adverse publicity can be disseminated quickly and broadly, making it increasingly difficult for us to effectively respond.
  • The Competition and Markets Authority in the United Kingdom (the “CMA”) has referred the Wincanton Acquisition for an in-depth Phase 2 investigation.
  • On February 29, 2024, the Company and the board of directors of Wincanton plc (“Wincanton”) reached an agreement on the terms of a cash offer by the Company for Wincanton.
  • On April 10, 2024, the Wincanton shareholders approved the Wincanton Acquisition and, on April 29, 2024, the Company completed the Wincanton Acquisition.
  • The Wincanton Acquisition was notified to the CMA which initiated its formal review of the transaction on September 9, 2024.
  • Since completion of the transaction, Wincanton has been held separate from the Company pursuant to the terms of a customary initial enforcement order imposed by the CMA while it carries out its review.
  • On November 1, 2024, the CMA announced that it intends to refer the Wincanton Acquisition for an in-depth Phase 2 investigation with a statutory deadline of April 30, 2025.
  • The Company is reviewing the decision and will continue to engage constructively and collaboratively with the CMA.
  • As a result, the possible timing and likelihood of the CMA’s investigation is uncertain, and the CMA may require, in connection with granting its approval of the transaction, divestitures or ongoing restrictions on the operation of the combined business, each of which could have a material impact on the anticipated strategic benefits and synergies from the combination.
  • Any delay in the receipt of regulatory approval from the CMA for the Wincanton Acquisition will result in greater transaction costs and professional fees.
  • The success of the Wincanton Acquisition will depend, in significant part, on our ability to successfully integrate Wincanton and its subsidiaries, grow the revenue of the combined company and realize the anticipated strategic benefits and synergies from the combination.
  • If we are not able to achieve these objectives and realize the anticipated benefits and synergies expected from the Wincanton Acquisition within a reasonable time, our business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.
  • We are subject to claims and litigation related to our customer contracts and relationships, labor and employment, personal injury, vehicular accidents, cargo and other property damage, business practices, environmental liability and other matters, including claims asserted under various other theories of agency or employer liability, such as the investigation by Italian authorities into the deductibility of value-added tax payments by the Company to certain third-party cooperative labor providers.
  • While we do not conduct business in Russia, the conflict and its effects could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
  • Additionally, various jurisdictions, such as the State of California, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, have enacted legislation requiring certain companies disclose climate-related financial risk as well as GHG emissions, and other non-financial information.
  • Certain jurisdictions have enacted legislation requiring certain companies to look in their supply chain and more actively manage risk and disclose non-financial metrics such as GHG emissions and health and safety.
  • In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporate Law (the “DGCL”), which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control.

Sentence-level comparison of Item 1A in the two most recent 10-Ks (FY2024 ↗, FY2025 ↗). A reworded sentence counts as one dropped and one added, so heavy edits read as low “kept”. Headings and page furniture are stripped; nothing is summarised by a model.
