  • The Board of Directors approved a $0.35 quarterly dividend, an increase of 30%

“Despite a difficult freight market and reduced volumes industrywide, our results reflect the quality of our operations and our team’s skill in responding to rapidly changing market conditions. We produced solid operating ratios across all our business segments while again generating more than $200m in net cash from operating activities. During challenging times for our industry, TFI International’s relentless focus on our longstanding operating principles, our business line diversity and niche positioning, and our ongoing progress on multiple self-help initiatives are what differentiates our performance and future potential. TFI’s strong financial foundation and focus on profitability and cash flow is allowing us to remain strategic in our allocation of capital, remaining active in M&A including seven completed acquisitions year to date, while also returning capital to shareholders through both our dividend, with our Board approving a 30% increase over the past year, and our opportunistic share repurchases. I wish to thank the talented men and women of TFI for their hard work in our continual quest to create shareholder value.” says Alain Bédard, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
