Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are provided in the attached financial tables.

2021 Guidance

The company issued the following full-year 2021 targets:

-- Adjusted EBITDA of $1.725 billion to $1.8 billion, an increase of 24% to 29% year-over-year; -- Depreciation and amortization of $780 million to $800 million; -- Interest expense of $275 million to $285 million; -- Effective tax rate of 24% to 26%; and -- Adjusted diluted EPS of $5.10 to $5.85, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.*

With respect to 2021 cash flows, the company issued the following targets:

-- Gross capital expenditures of $625 million to $675 million; -- Net capital expenditures of $475 million to $525 million; and -- Free cash flow of $600 million to $700 million.

* The company will present adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS excluding the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, starting with 2021 reporting. In 2021, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets is estimated to be $145 million.

The companys 2021 guidance excludes impacts associated with the planned spin-off of the logistics segment previously announced; and assumes 113 million diluted shares outstanding.

CEO Comments

Brad Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of XPO Logistics, said, Our fourth quarter revenue, earnings and free cash flow were all much better than expected. The investments we made in our people and technology in 2020 helped us to generate the highest revenue of any quarter in our history. We also doubled our truck brokerage net revenue year-over-year, and we improved our fourth quarter LTL adjusted operating ratio, excluding real estate gains, for the sixth straight year. The industrys biggest tailwinds are at our back in 2021 e-commerce fulfillment and returns, supply chain outsourcing and fast-growing customer demand for our digital capabilities.

Jacobs continued, Our 2021 guidance anticipates adjusted EBITDA of $1.725 billion to $1.8 billion, reflecting year-over-year growth of 24% to 29% in each of our segments.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2020, the company had access to approximately $3.1 billion of total liquidity, including $2.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $1.0 billion of available borrowing capacity.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Results by Segment

-- Transportation: The companys transportation segment generated revenue of$2.94 billionfor the fourth quarter 2020, compared with $2.60 billion for the same period in 2019. Operating income for the transportation segment was $200 million for the fourth quarter 2020, compared with $173 million for the same period in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $331 million for the quarter, compared with $306 million for the same period in 2019. The increases in operating income and adjusted EBITDA were related primarily to higher profitability in truck brokerage and in LTL, with gains from LTL real estate sales excluded. Segment operating income and adjusted EBITDA for the quarter include a $6 million impact from COVID-related costs. In North American less-than-truckload (LTL), the fourth quarter operating ratio was 84.9% and the adjusted operating ratio was 83.0%, both of which include the impact of $5 million of COVID-related costs. Excluding gains from sales of real estate, LTL adjusted operating ratio improved 130 basis points year-over-year to 84.5%. In North American truck brokerage, revenue increased by 75.5% year-over-year to $616 million for the fourth quarter 2020, compared with $351 million for the same period in 2019. Net revenue increased 110.0% year-over-year to $115 million for the quarter, compared with $54 million for the same period in 2019.

-- Logistics: The companys logistics segment generated revenue of $1.76 billion for the fourth quarter 2020, compared with $1.56 billion for the same period in 2019. Segment revenue growth was led by strong demand from e-commerce and other consumer-related verticals, partially offset by COVID-related impacts.Logistics segment operating income was $68 million for the fourth quarter 2020, compared with $73 million for the same period in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA was $152 million for the quarter, compared with $163 million for the same period in 2019. The decreases in operating income and adjusted EBITDA were primarily related to a spike in labor costs due to record e-commerce peak demand, as well as start-up costs for new contracts won, partially offset by higher revenue from contracts won in prior periods. Segment operating income and adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2020 include a $4 million impact from COVID-related costs.

-- Corporate: Corporate expense was $40 million for the fourth quarter 2020, compared with $44 million for the same period in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA was an expense of $34 million for the fourth quarter, compared with an expense of $37 million for the same period in 2019.

Recent Developments

In December 2020, the company announced that it plans to pursue a spin-off of its logistics segment as a separate publicly traded company. If the transaction is completed as planned, it will create two, pure-play industry leaders: the spun-off company will be the second largest contract logistics provider in the world, and the remaining company will be a global provider of less-than-truckload and truck brokerage transportation services. There can be no assurance that a spin-off will occur or, if one does occur, of its terms or timing.

In January 2021, the company completed the previously announced acquisition of the majority of the contract logistics operations of Kuehne + Nagel in the UK and Ireland. The transaction expanded XPOs logistics network in the UK and Ireland to 248 locations and approximately 31,000 employees.

In January 2021, the company redeemed $1.2 billion of Senior Notes due 2022, using available cash, at a price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Full Year 2020 Financial Results

For the full year 2020, the company reported total revenue of $16.25 billion, compared with $16.65 billion for 2019. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $79 million for 2020, compared with $379 million for 2019. Operating income was $391 million for 2020, compared with $821 million for 2019. Diluted earnings per share was $0.78 for 2020, compared with $3.57 for 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2020 was $1.4 billion, compared with $1.7 billion for 2019.

Fourth quarter and full-year 2020 net income attributable to common shareholders and diluted EPS include a charge of $22 million related to the conversion of 69,445 shares of the companys outstanding Series A preferred stock into common stock in the fourth quarter. The conversion charge reduces net income attributable to common shareholders for EPS purposes but does not affect net income.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), we provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this press release to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP, which are set forth in the financial tables attached to this release.

XPOs non-GAAP financial measures for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 used in this release include: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin on a consolidated basis and for our transportation and logistics segments as well as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for corporate; free cash flow; adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted earnings per share (basic and diluted) ("adjusted EPS"); net revenue and net revenue margin for our transportation segment, including net revenue for our North American truck brokerage business; and adjusted operating income, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin for our North American less-than-truckload business.

We believe that the above adjusted financial measures facilitate analysis of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be reflective of, or are unrelated to, XPO and its business segments' core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying businesses. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should only be used as supplemental measures of our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted EPS include adjustments for transaction and integration costs, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments as set forth in the attached tables. Transaction and integration adjustments are generally incremental costs that result from an actual or planned acquisition, divestiture or spin-off and may include transaction costs, consulting fees, retention awards, and internal salaries and wages (to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration and transformation activities) and certain costs related to integrating and converging IT systems. Restructuring costs primarily relate to severance costs associated with business optimization initiatives. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating XPO's and each business segment's ongoing performance.

We believe that free cash flow is an important measure of our ability to repay maturing debt or fund other uses of capital that we believe will enhance stockholder value. We calculate free cash flow as adjusted net cash provided by operating activities, less payment for purchases of property and equipment plus proceeds from sale of property and equipment, with adjusted net cash provided by operating activities defined as net cash provided by operating activities plus cash collected on deferred purchase price receivables. We believe that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin improve comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest and financing expenses), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax impacts and other adjustments as set out in the attached tables that management has determined are not reflective of core operating activities and thereby assist investors with assessing trends in our underlying businesses. We believe that adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted EPS improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the impact of certain costs and gains that management has determined are not reflective of our core operating activities. We believe that net revenue and net revenue margin improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by removing the cost of transportation and services, in particular the cost of fuel, incurred in the reporting period as set out in the attached tables. We believe that adjusted operating income and adjusted operating ratio for our North American less-than-truckload business improve the comparability of our operating results from period to period by (i) removing the impact of certain transaction and integration and restructuring costs, as well as amortization expenses and (ii) including the impact of pension income incurred in the reporting period as set out in the attached tables.

With respect to our full year 2021 financial targets for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort due to the variability and complexity of the reconciling items described above that we exclude from these non-GAAP target measures. The variability of these items may have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results and, as a result, we are unable to prepare the forward-looking statement of income and statement of cash flows prepared in accordance with GAAP that would be required to produce such a reconciliation.
