(1) The Company acquired $519 million of intangible assets, comprised of customer relationships, trade names, and intellectual property with weighted-average useful lives of 12.5 years.

(2) The Company recorded a realized foreign currency gain of $5 million which represents the change in foreign currency rates from the acquisition date through the settlement date. The gain is included as a component of “Transaction and Integration costs” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(3) Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Goodwill acquired was recorded in the U.K. and Ireland reporting unit and was primarily attributed to anticipated synergies. The Company does not expect the goodwill recognized in connection with the Wincanton Acquisition to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of GXO Logistics, Inc. (“GXO” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of GXO and its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Reclassifications	Certain amounts reported for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted	Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules designed to enhance public company disclosures related to the risks and impacts of climate-related matters. The new rules include disclosures relating to climate-related risks and risk management, as well as the board and management’s governance of such risks. In addition, the rules include requirements to disclose the financial effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions in the audited financial statements. Larger registrants will also be required to disclose information about greenhouse gas emissions, which will be subject to a phased-in assurance requirement. The disclosures are required for annual periods ending December 31, 2025. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the implementation of the new climate-related disclosure rules pending completion of judicial review of consolidated changes to the rules by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The Company continues to monitor developments and evaluate the potential impact of these rules on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides for expanded disclosures primarily related to income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to impact its Consolidated Financial Statements other than incremental disclosures on its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

7. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The levels of inputs used to measure fair value are:

•Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

•Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and

•Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, generally utilizing pricing models or other valuation techniques that reflect management’s judgment and estimates.

Assets and Liabilities

The Company bases its fair value estimates on market assumptions and available information. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current maturities of long-term debt approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, due to their short-term nature.

Debt

The fair value of debt was as follows:


		September 30, 2024				December 31, 2023
(In millions)	Level	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Unsecured notes due 2026	2	$	380	$	399	$	362	$	398
Unsecured notes due 2029	2	629		593		—		—
Unsecured notes due 2031	2	338		397		326		397

Five-Year Term Loan due 2027	2	396		399		493		499

Financial Instruments

The Company directly manages its exposure to risks arising from business operations and economic factors, including fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the volatility related to these exposures.

The notional amount and fair value of derivative instruments were as follows:


	September 30, 2024				December 31, 2023				Balance Sheet Location

The Company estimates remaining performance obligations at a point in time, and actual amounts may differ from these estimates due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and contract revisions or terminations.

Includes, but is not limited to, disaggregation of revenue, credit loss recognized from contract with customer, judgment and change in judgment related to contract with customer, and asset recognized from cost incurred to obtain or fulfill contract with customer.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	13. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous legal proceedings arising from the conduct of its business. These proceedings may include personal injury claims arising from the transportation and handling of goods, contractual disputes and employment-related claims, including alleged violations of wage and hour laws. The Company establishes accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews and adjusts accruals for loss contingencies quarterly and as additional information becomes available. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to a loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, the Company assesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or discloses that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on management’s assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. Management of the Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. Management of the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which the Company is presently a party will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs related to these matters are expensed as they are incurred. The Company carries liability and excess umbrella insurance policies that are deemed sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting its operations. In the event the Company is required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively impacted. On June 14, 2024, the Company’s subsidiary GXO Warehouse Company, Inc. entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to settle all claims in connection with a dispute between the Company and one of its customers related to the start-up of the customer’s warehouse that occurred in 2018 (the “Dispute”). A payment under the Settlement Agreement was made by the Company on July 5, 2024. As of July 10, 2024, the Dispute, which was litigated under the caption Lindt et al. v. GXO Warehouse Company, Inc., docket no. 4:22-cv-00384-BP, in Federal District Court for the Western District of Missouri (the “Court”), was dismissed with prejudice with each side to bear their own costs and fees, and the Court retained jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the Settlement Agreement. Among other things in the Settlement Agreement, the parties each denied the allegations and counterclaims asserted in the Dispute, and agreed to a mutual release of claims arising from, under or otherwise in connection with their prior business relationship and the Dispute, in exchange for a payment by the Company of $45 million. The Company intends to pursue reimbursement in connection with this Dispute under its existing insurance policies. The Company recognized $59 million expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, for the settlement, associated legal fees, costs and other related expenses. On July 2, 2024, the Italian authorities launched an investigation into the deductibility of value-added tax payments by GXO to certain third-party cooperative labor providers for their services provided from 2017 through 2023. The alleged amount is €84 million ($93 million as of September 30, 2024). It is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred; however, the possible range of losses is not reasonably estimable given the status of the on-going investigation. We are cooperating in this matter and believe that we have a number of credible defenses. In August, 2024 the Company deposited €17 million ($19 million as of September 30, 2024) into a bank account in connection with the investigation. This amount is classified as restricted cash in Other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In October and November 2024, the Company deposited an additional €34 million ($38 million as of September 30, 2024) of restricted cash. The Company has agreed to deposit an additional €33 million ($37 million as of September 30, 2024) of restricted cash in December 2024 and January 2025.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On March 29, 2024, the Company terminated its previous revolving credit agreement expiring in 2026 and entered into a new revolving credit agreement with Bank of America N.A., as administrative agent and an issuing lender (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of GXO Logistics, Inc. (“GXO” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of GXO and its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain amounts reported for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The Company presents its operations as one reportable segment. Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules designed to enhance public company disclosures related to the risks and impacts of climate-related matters. The new rules include disclosures relating to climate-related risks and risk management, as well as the board and management’s governance of such risks. In addition, the rules include requirements to disclose the financial effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions in the audited financial statements. Larger registrants will also be required to disclose information about greenhouse gas emissions, which will be subject to a phased-in assurance requirement. The disclosures are required for annual periods ending December 31, 2025. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the implementation of the new climate-related disclosure rules pending completion of judicial review of consolidated changes to the rules by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The Company continues to monitor developments and evaluate the potential impact of these rules on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides for expanded disclosures primarily related to income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to impact its Consolidated Financial Statements other than incremental disclosures on its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Sep. 30, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	12. Income Taxes Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was $7 million and $15 million, respectively, and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was 16.5% and 17.9%, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared with 2023 was primarily driven by fluctuations in our jurisdictional income profile. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was $11 million and $38 million, respectively, and the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was 21.9% and 19.1%, respectively. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is due to a tax benefit related to a valuation allowance release in the prior year period. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) issued administrative guidance for the Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion rules (“Pillar Two”), which imposes a 15% global minimum tax on multinational companies. Many Pillar Two rules are effective for fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2024, with other aspects to be effective from 2025. The Company does not expect the Pillar Two rules to materially impact its tax liability in 2024.

Wincanton Acquisition

On February 29, 2024, the Company and the board of directors of Wincanton plc, a logistics company based in Chippenham, United Kingdom (“Wincanton”), reached an agreement on the terms of a cash offer by the Company for the acquisition of the entire issued ordinary share capital of Wincanton (the “Wincanton Acquisition”). Under the terms of the agreement, Wincanton shareholders received 605 pence ($7.64 as of the acquisition date) in cash for each Wincanton share held.

On April 10, 2024, the Wincanton shareholders approved the Wincanton Acquisition and on April 29, 2024, the Company completed the Wincanton Acquisition for total consideration of approximately £762 million ($958 million). The Wincanton Acquisition is subject to a review by the Competition and Markets Authority (the “CMA”) in the U.K. On November 1, 2024, the CMA announced that it intends to refer the Wincanton Acquisition for an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless acceptable undertakings are agreed between the Company and the CMA by November 15, 2024.

Wincanton is a logistics provider specializing in both warehousing and transportation solutions in the U.K. and Ireland. Wincanton provides services to customers in grocery, retail and manufacturing, consumer goods, ecommerce, healthcare, defense, industrial, and energy industries.

The Company incurred acquisition costs related to the Wincanton Acquisition of $19 million and $45 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which are included in Transaction and integration costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In connection with the Wincanton Acquisition, (i) the Company entered into a bridge term loan credit agreement (the “Bridge Term Loan”), (ii) the Company entered into a three-year term loan credit agreement (“Three-Year Term Loan due 2027”), and (iii) in April 2024, the Company issued $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “Unsecured Notes”). For additional information regarding the financing agreements entered in connection with the Wincanton Acquisition, see Note 6. Debt and Financing Arrangements.

Wincanton’s results of operations are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $529 million and $4 million of revenue and loss before income taxes, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $862 million and $1 million of revenue and loss before income taxes, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

Goodwill recorded (3)	$	673

(1) The Company acquired $519 million of intangible assets, comprised of customer relationships, trade names, and intellectual property with weighted-average useful lives of 12.5 years.

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained and reviewed. The final allocation of the purchase price may differ from the preliminary allocation based on completion of the valuation. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation within the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the Company’s results of operations as if the Wincanton Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2023. The pro forma results reflect the impact of incremental interest expense to finance the acquisition and amortization expense on acquired intangible assets. Adjustments have also been made to remove transaction related costs. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the results of operations of the combined company would have been had the Wincanton Acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2023.

PFSweb Acquisition

On September 13, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire PFSweb, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Irving, Texas (“PFS”), and on October 23, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of PFS (the “PFS Acquisition”). The Company acquired the shares of PFS at a price per share of $7.50 in cash, totaling approximately $149 million, net of cash acquired. PFS is a global provider of omnichannel commerce solutions, including a broad range of technology, infrastructure and professional services, in the United States, Canada and Europe. PFS’s service offerings include order fulfillment, fulfillment-as-a-service, order management and customer care.

The Company recorded the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the date of acquisition, including intangible assets comprising customer relationships, trademarks, trade names and developed technology of $55 million with a weighted-average amortization period of 13 years. Goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition was $80 million, recorded in the Americas and Asia-Pacific reporting unit, and was attributed to anticipated synergies. The Company does not expect the goodwill recognized in connection with the PFS Acquisition to be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.
