XPO selling intermodal business
XPO announced Friday morning the sale of its North American intermodal business to STG Logistics for $710 million.
XPO Logistics Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Brad Jacobs noted the divesture aligned with XPO's goal of "becoming two great companies," each publicly traded. XPO will be the third largest less-than-truckload provider in North America and one of only a few national networks.
“This divestiture simplifies our business model and moves our capital structure closer to investment-grade — two priorities in our strategic plan to unlock significantly more value for our stakeholders," he added. "We’ve completed a key step in preparing for our planned spin-off, when we’ll separate XPO into two publicly traded leaders in less-than-truckload transportation and tech-enabled brokered transportation services.”
The divested intermodal business will be known as STG Intermodal and operate under parent company STG Logistics. The business is expected to operate exactly as it does today. In all, approximately 700 people will immediately become STG employees.
