Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks ArcBest names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 25, 2026: 29 risks under these headings, as written.5

  • Risks Related to Cybersecurity, Data Privacy, and Information Technology
  • An interruption, failure, perceived or actual data breach, or cybersecurity incident in the Information Technology (“IT”) systems that we depend on, including software programs and applications provided by third parties, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • If we are unable to timely and effectively develop and implement new or enhanced technology or processes, or if we fail to realize the potential benefits thereof, we may suffer competitive disadvantages, loss of customers, or other consequences that could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • Risks Related to Our Business
  • The loss of or reduction in business from multiple large customers or an overall reduction in our customer base could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
  • Our initiatives to grow our business operations or to manage our cost structure to business levels may take longer than anticipated, may not generate adequate returns, or may not be successful.
  • We may be unsuccessful in realizing all or any part of the anticipated benefits of future acquisitions. The cost, integration, and performance of any such acquisition may disrupt or adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
  • Unsolicited takeover proposals, proxy contests, and other proposals or actions by activist investors may adversely affect our business and our stock price.
  • Damage to our corporate reputation may cause our business to suffer.
  • Our corporate reputation and business depend on a variety of intellectual property rights, and the costs and resources expended to enforce or protect our rights or to defend against infringement claims could adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • VauxTM technologies may not achieve market acceptance or generate adequate returns.
  • Ineffective internal controls could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and reputation.
The other 19 risks
  • Risks Related to Our Industry
  • Disruptions in domestic or global manufacturing activity, supply chains, and related changes in producer and consumer spending could materially reduce our freight volumes and adversely affect our business.
  • We operate in a highly competitive and fragmented industry, and our business could suffer if we are unable to adequately address factors that could affect our profitability, growth prospects, and ability to compete in the transportation and logistics market.
  • Increased prices for, or decreases in the availability of, equipment, including new revenue equipment, as well as higher costs of related operating expenses, could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.
  • Fuel shortages, changes in fuel prices, or the inability to collect fuel surcharges, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
  • Risks Related to Employees and Benefits
  • Difficulty attracting, retaining, and upskilling employees, or ABF Freight’s inability to reach agreement on future collective bargaining agreements, could result in labor inefficiencies, disruptions, stoppages, or delayed growth.
  • We could be obligated to make additional significant contributions to multiemployer pension plans.
  • Risks Related to Third Parties
  • We depend on services provided by third parties and could be adversely impacted by increased costs or disruption of these services, and claims arising from these services.
  • Our engagement of independent contractor drivers to provide a portion of the capacity for our Asset-Light segment exposes us to different risks than we face with our employee drivers, which could have an adverse effect on our business.
  • If the independent contractors with which we contract are deemed by regulators or judicial process to be employees, or if we experience operational or regulatory issues related to our use of these contract drivers, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected.
  • Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters
  • We are subject to litigation risks, and at times may need to initiate litigation, which could result in significant costs and have other material adverse effects on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
  • Our business operations are subject to numerous governmental regulations in the transportation industry, and costs of compliance with, or liability for violations of, existing or future regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
  • Our operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, the violation of which could result in substantial fines or penalties. The costs of compliance with current and future environmental laws and regulations may be significant and could adversely impact our results of operations.
  • Risks Related to Financial Considerations
  • We are subject to interest rate risk and certain covenants under our financing arrangements. A default under these financing arrangements or changes in regulations could impact the availability of funds or our borrowing costs.
  • Our business is capital intensive. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash from operations, our growth and profitability could be limited due to significant ongoing capital expenditure requirements.
  • Claims expenses, the cost of maintaining our insurance, or the loss of our ability to self-insure could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
  • Impairment of our long-lived assets and our goodwill and intangible assets could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
  • Risks Related to Other External Conditions
  • We, or the third parties who provide services for us, may be adversely affected by external events for which our business continuity plans may not adequately prepare us.
  • We are subject to general economic factors and instability in financial and credit markets that are largely beyond our control.
  • Our business and results of operations could be impacted by seasonal fluctuations, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, and climate change.

Legal proceedings

The Company maintains liability insurance for certain risks associated with its operations, subject to self‑insured retention limits. The Company has recorded accruals for certain legal, environmental, and self‑insurance matters. Based on information currently available, management does not expect these matters, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
