Werner Enterprises, Inc. announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, in a press release filed with the SEC on October 19, 2026. The company provided a range for its preliminary total revenues, estimating the figure to be between $946 million and $951 million.
Regarding earnings, Werner anticipates GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) to be approximately $0.10 to $0.11 for the period. The company also reported a non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS estimate of $0.15 to $0.16. This adjusted figure excludes the impact of amortization of intangible assets, acquisition expenses, and gains or losses on equity investments.
The company stated that its financial results for the third quarter were negatively impacted by approximately $0.18 per share compared to the second quarter of 2026. This headwind was attributed to three primary factors: rapidly rising fuel prices, increased investments in driver recruitment and retention, and a late-quarter insurance reserve adjustment related to past claims.
Werner plans to provide additional details when it reports its third quarter earnings results on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, after market close.
