Arcbest Corporation Provides Non-Cash Impairment Guidance Charges for the Second Quarter of 2026 ArcBest Corporation provided non-cash impairment guidance charges for the second quarter of 2026. For the quarter, the company estimates that the Plan will result in aggregate cash charges of approximately $6.0 million to $7.0 million, expected to be incurred primarily in the third quarter of 2026, and aggregate non-cash impairments of approximately $76.5 million, which the Company expects to recognize in its financial results for the second quarter of 2026. The estimated charges and impairments include: A non-cash impairment of approximately 25.7 million (or approximately 19.4 million, after tax) to write off the remaining carrying value of the Panther® trade name. A non-cash impairment of approximately 50.8 million (or approximately 38.2 million, after tax) related to equipment and other assets associated with the Vaux Freight Movement System, together with estimated cash charges of approximately 0.5 million to 1.0 million related to disposal activities. The Plan is expected to result in approximately $40 million of annualized run-rate cash savings. These anticipated savings support, but are not incremental to, the Company's previously communicated 2028 Investor Day financial targets available via the press release entitled “ArcBest Highlights Strategic Pillars and Long-Term Financial Targets at 2025 Investor Day ” which can be found on the Company's website: arcb.com. The Plan advances the Company's broader initiatives to accelerate profitable growth, increase efficiency, and create a more seamless customer experience, including by consolidating certain functions and reducing or eliminating investment in lower-priority areas. The Company may incur additional costs or charges in connection with the Plan that are not currently contemplated. The estimated charges that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Plan and the anticipated annualized run-rate cash savings are estimates and subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ materially. Separately from the Plan-related impairments described above, the Company expects to recognize a non-cash impairment of approximately $8.8 million (or approximately $6.7 million, after tax) in its financial results for the second quarter of 2026. The impairment relates to a right-of-use asset and leasehold improvements associated with leased office space within the Company’s Asset-Light operating segment and is based on the expected terms of a sublease for a portion of the office space.

Arcbest Adds Tesla Semis to ABF Freight Fleet ArcBest announced the purchase of two Class 8 Tesla Semi trucks by its less-than-truckload carrier ABF Freight, building on insights gained from a successful pilot completed in 2025. The long-range, all-electric units mark the next step in the company’s measured approach to evaluating emerging technologies that advance fleet innovation and sustainability while ensuring consistent operational performance. The new equipment will primarily support linehaul operations within California, with planned extension into Reno, Nevada, and potentially other locations. Compared with the 2025 pilot, which focused mainly on the Reno–Sacramento corridor, this deployment significantly expands lane coverage to evaluate performance across a broader segment of the ABF network. While the 2025 pilot demonstrated strong early results, ABF will continue evaluating the Tesla Semi over a longer period and broader operating footprint before making additional investment decisions. The company plans to benchmark the electric trucks against its diesel fleet using the same disciplined approach to total cost of ownership, operational efficiency, safety and employee experience that guides fleet investments across the business. During the 2025 pilot, the Tesla Semi achieved an average energy efficiency of approximately 1.55 kWh per mile, a strong result for Class 8 operations. With deployment expanding across additional lanes and driver groups, ABF expects to gain deeper insight into everyday performance across its network. While the company expects performance to remain consistent with the pilot, the broader operating profile will allow for a more comprehensive evaluation. Driver feedback from the pilot was positive. Operators highlighted strong visibility, comfort and overall performance, including reliable operation on demanding routes such as the 7,200-foot climb over Donner Pass. Initial feedback during orientation on the new units has also been encouraging, with drivers noting the combination of comfort and ease of operation while maintaining the capability expected of a Class 8 tractor in a demanding LTL environment.

ArcBest Pilots Class 8 EV Semi in Over-The-Road Operations ArcBest announced the successful completion of a pilot program evaluating a Class 8 long-range electric semi-truck in over-the-road operations. Conducted through ArcBest's less-than-truckload carrier ABF Freight, the pilot reflects the company's ongoing commitment to exploring emerging technologies that support operational efficiency and environmental responsibility. Over a three-week period, ABF operated a Tesla Semi across typical dispatch lanes, including over-the-road routes between service centers in Reno, Nevada and Sacramento, California. The pilot also included regional runs in the Bay Area and rail shuttle operations. The electric Semi logged 4,494 miles, averaging 321 miles per day with an overall energy efficiency of 1.55 kWh per mile. The vehicle performed well across a variety of routes -- including the 7,200 climb over Donner Pass -- and generally matched the performance of its diesel counterparts. Driver feedback was positive, with operators noting the vehicle's comfort, safety and ease of use. Features like the center seat configuration, wide visibility and intuitive controls contributed to strong driver experience. While the pilot demonstrated strong performance and driver acceptance, it also highlighted the need for continued development of charging infrastructure to support broader deployment across longer routes. The vehicle showed meaningful progress in areas such as range, charging efficiency and driver support, reinforcing the value of continued evaluation. This pilot builds on ArcBest's broader efforts to explore electric vehicles across its operations. The company currently operates nine electric yard tractors, two electric forklifts and two Class 6 electric straight trucks. ArcBest will continue to assess the long-term viability of Class 8 EVs within its fleet, with a focus on leveraging innovation to improve efficiency, reduce emissions and deliver sustainable logistics solutions that create value for customers.

ArcBest Introduces Vaux Vision and Enhancements to Vaux Technology Suite ArcBest announced the introduction of its latest technology offering, Vaux Vision™?, which is currently in the pilot phase. Vaux Vision transforms forklifts into intelligent mobile dimensioners to improve material handling efficiencies. This adds to the company's suite of advanced technology solutions. ArcBest's Vaux Vision is 3D perception technology designed to streamline material handling by providing precise, real-time freight measurement and insight directly on a forklift. Vaux Vision is NTEP (National Type Evaluation Program) certified and features a touch screen operator display and barcode scanning capabilities. It integrates seamlessly with the Vaux OS as well as new or existing weight sales. Other capabilities include: Capturing photos of freight during pick and drop to improve visibility and transparency; Utilizing AI to determine attributes like damage, HazMat, stackable, fragile and leaning; Tracking the piece ID or pallet barcode. In addition to Vaux Vision, ArcBest also announced updates to its previously released solutions, introducing more equipment sizes and performance enhancements. These updates were driven by customer feedback across several customer verticals. The Vaux Freight Movement System Equipment Options: The Vaux Freight movement System was the first iteration of the Vaux Technology suite, designed to improve material handling efficiency by reimagining trailer loading and unloading using mobile platform, the Vaux Freight is loaded onto the Vaux MP outside the trailer, and using a standard forklift equipped with an MP Coupler, easily slides into the trailer. To unload, the forklift and coupler can pull the entire MP out of the trailer in one movement, allowing for easy maneuvering to the optimal location in the warehouse for rapid processing. This flexibility allows trailers to be fully loaded, even with products that cannot be stacked -- reducing the number of trucks on the road and positively impacting environmental sustainability metrics. New equipment options available with the Vaux Freight Movement System include: A new MP decking system configuration that enables stacking of previously unstackable freight, such as high-value server equipment for data centers; A 26-foot and 10-foot Roller Deck MP for air cargo ULD containers; An Automotive Hauler that enables a standard trailer to transport up to four vehicles; A Max width MP to handle wide freight and a 17-foot MP designed for tight spaces. Vaux Smart Autonomy Capability Updates: One year after launching the Vaux MP, ArcBest announced Vaux Smart Autonomy to enhance safety and efficiency in material handling and address customers' labor challenges. Vaux Smart Autonomy combines autonomous mobile robot (AMR) forklifts and reach trucks with fleet management software and teleoperation capabilities to automate material handling while keeping a human operator involved for tasks that require a human touch. It also now supports: Managing the autonomous movement of freight that is larger than a standard pallet; Stacking on gravity feeds and bulk stacking; Moving automotive racks, rack replenishment and rack pick; Trailer load and unload, including double-stacked freight.

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: €1.2m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€1.2m sold).

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 6.5% a week.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.5% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.8% net profit margin). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€8.3m sold). Reported Earnings • Oct 27
