Filing evidence summary

Mixed evidenceCoverage 5/5 core metrics

Operating margin changed -2.0 percentage points from the prior annual period.

Backward-looking filed evidence under visible rules - not a rating, forecast or investment advice. Missing data is never scored.

Evidence signals

  • Operating margin compressed

    Operating margin changed -2.0 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2025-12-27.

  • Revenue was broadly stable

    Latest reported annual revenue changed -1.6% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-12-27.

  • No current rule-based risk flags

    8 filing-based checks were evaluable.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Free cash flow was positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $215M.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. Period end 2025-12-27.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

Point-in-time ledger

first-reported vs latest filing · periods since 2020-01-01 · 0 changed periods

No period on file has changed between its first report and the latest filing carrying it.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Commitments and contingencies · 1,256 characters as filed

(11) Commitments and Contingencies Short-term investments include $53,352,000 in current maturities of investments held by the Companys insurance segment at June 27, 2026. The non-current portion of the bond portfolio of $95,748,000 is included in other assets. The short-term investments, together with $30,349,000 of non-current investments, provide collateral for the $75,331,000 of letters of credit issued to guarantee payment of insurance claims. As of June 27, 2026, Landstar also had $34,886,000 of additional letters of credit outstanding under the Companys Credit Agreement. The Company is involved in certain claims and pending litigation arising from the normal conduct of business. Many of these claims are covered in whole or in part by insurance. Based on knowledge of the facts and, in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, management believes that adequate provisions have been made for probable and reasonably estimable losses with respect to the resolution of all such claims and pending litigation and that the ultimate outcome, after provisions therefor, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company, but could have a material effect on the results of operations in a given quarter or year.

Segment reporting · 3,455 characters as filed

(6) Segment Information The Company reports the results of two operating segments: the transportation logistics segment and the insurance segment. The Companys chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates each segments performance and makes decisions about resource allocations primarily based on operating income, which is the principal financial metric utilized to monitor budgeted versus actual results by segment of the Company. Asset information by segment is not typically provided to the CODM for purposes of evaluating performance or allocating resources, and therefore such information has not been presented. The following tables summarize information about the Companys reportable business segments as of and for the twenty-six-week and thirteen-week periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025 (in thousands): Twenty-Six Weeks Ended June 27, 2026 June 28, 2025 Transportation Logistics Insurance Total Transportation Logistics Insurance Total External revenue $ 2,574,766 $ 28,789 $ 2,603,555 $ 2,334,432 $ 29,453 $ 2,363,885 Internal revenue 51,623 51,623 53,093 53,093 Total revenue 2,574,766 80,412 2,655,178 2,334,432 82,546 2,416,978 Investment income 5,679 5,679 7,327 7,327 Purchased transportation 2,030,397 2,030,397 1,839,289 1,839,289 Commissions to agents 201,578 201,578 192,836 192,836 Other operating costs, net of gains on asset sales/dispositions 32,745 32,745 31,424 31,424 Insurance and claims 61,461 65,085 126,546 63,373
