We rely on information technology throughout all areas of our business to initiate, track, and complete customer orders; process financial and nonfinancial data; compile results of operations for internal and external reporting; and achieve operating efficiencies and growth. We have also invested significantly in the development of our Marketplace for J.B. Hunt 360 online freight matching platform. Each of our information technology systems may be susceptible to various interruptions, including equipment or network failures, failed upgrades or replacement of software, user error, power outages, natural disasters, cyber-attacks, theft or misuse of data, terrorist attacks, computer viruses, hackers, or other security breaches. Increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks such as ransomware and AI-powered phishing scams could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of these systems, disrupt network and terminal operations, delay freight movements, or result in data loss or exfiltration. We have in the past experienced security breaches and other interruptions of our information technology systems and may in the future experience such breaches or interruptions despite our best efforts to prevent them. We have mitigated our exposure to these risks through the establishment and maintenance of technology security programs and disaster recovery plans, but these mitigating activities may not beanticipate sufficient.or prevent every attack or failure, particularly as threat actors and technologies evolve, nor may they fully prevent or mitigate all adverse impacts.

Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

Federal and state legislation as well as tax and other regulatory authorities have sought to assert that independent contractors in the transportation service industry are employees rather than independent contractors. Recently issued rulemaking by the U.S. Department of Labor, which took effect on March 11, 2024, and theThe laws of several states, including California, apply stricter tests for determining whether an independent contractor should be classified as an employee. We believe we are in compliance with all applicable independent contractor classification requirements. However, it is possible that other federal or state legislation or regulations could be enacted or that various authorities could assert a position that re-classifies independent contractors as employees. If our independent contractors are determined to be properly classified as employees, that determination could materially increase our exposure under a variety of federal and state tax, workers’ compensation, unemployment benefits, labor, employment and tort laws, as well as our potential liability for employee benefits. In addition, such changes may be applied retroactively, and if so, we may be required to pay additional amounts to compensate individuals for prior time periods.

Added

An inability to develop, adopt, and integrate new or enhanced technologies, including rapidly evolving artificial intelligence, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Added

We operate in a rapidly evolving, technology-driven environment, and if we do not timely identify, prioritize, develop, and successfully integrate new or enhanced technologies into our operations, our service quality, efficiency, and competitiveness could suffer. Technology initiatives can be complex and costly, with risks of delays, defects, and training hurdles. Anticipated benefits from these initiatives may not be realized on the expected timeline or at all. In addition, competitors may introduce and scale new technologies more quickly or effectively than we do, which could diminish our competitive position, compress margins, and result in lost business opportunities. The rapid evolution and adoption of artificial intelligence(AI) and any efforts we may make to incorporate it into our business may amplify cyber, legal, and operational risks. AI adoption may introduce or amplify risks, including inaccurate or biased outputs that are difficult to detect, governance and model-risk challenges, privacy and intellectual property concerns, and evolving legal disclosure obligations. AI can also increase cybersecurity exposure as threat actors leverage AI to enhance social-engineering and intrusion techniques. Implementing and maintaining AI capabilities can be complex and costly, anticipated benefits may not be realized and expected timelines or at all, and failures could harm our operations, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition.

The amounts of self-insurance may change from time to time based on measurement dates, policy expiration dates, and claim type. For 20232024 and 2024,2025, we were self-insured for $500,000 per occurrence as well as subject to coverage-layer-specific, aggregated reimbursement limits of covered excess claims for personal injury and property damage. We were fully insured for workers’ compensation claims for nearly all states. We have policies in place for 20252026 with substantially the same terms as our 20242025 policies for personal injury, property damage, workers’ compensation, and cargo loss or damage.

Reworded

Our claims accrual policy for all self-insured claims is to recognize a liability at the time of the incident based on our analysis of the nature and severity of the claims and analyses provided by third-party claims administrators, as well as legal, economic, and regulatory factors. Our safety and claims personnel work directly with representatives from the insurance companies to continually update the estimated cost of each claim. The ultimate cost of a claim develops over time as additional information regarding the nature, timing, and extent of damages claimed becomes available. Accordingly, we use an actuarial method to develop current claim information to derive an estimate of our ultimate personal injury and property damage claim liability. This process involves the use of expected loss rates, loss-development factors based on our historical claims experience, claim frequencies and severity, and contractual premium adjustment factors, if applicable. In doing so, the recorded liability considers future claims growth and provides a reserve for incurred-but-not-reported claims. We do not discount our estimated losses. At December 31, 2024,2025, we had current accruals of approximately $232$283 million and long-term accruals of approximately $369$444 million for estimated claims. A significant increase in the volume of claims or amount of settlements exceeding our coverage-layer specific, aggregated reimbursement limits could result in a significant increase in our estimated liability for claims in future periods. In addition, we record receivables for amounts expected to be reimbursed for payments made in excess of self-insurance levels on covered claims. At December 31, 2024,2025, we havehad recorded current assets of $237$255 million and long-term assets of $192$235 million of expected reimbursement for covered excess claims, other insurance deposits, and prepaid insurance premiums.

Revenue per load, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, was relatively flat compared to the first six months of 2025. JBI segment operating income increased 40% to $265.4 million in the first six months of 2026, from $190.1 million in 2025. The increase is primarily due to volume growth, increased network efficiency, higher productivity in our drayage operations, and improvements associated with our overall cost management initiatives, partially offset by higher insurance premium and claims expense and higher professional driver personnel expense when compared to the first six months of 2025.

Added

DCS segment revenue increased 6% to $1.76 billion during the first six months of 2026, from $1.67 billion in 2025. Productivity, defined as revenue per truck per week, increased 6% from a year ago. Productivity, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, for the first six months of 2026 increased 2% from a year ago. The increase in productivity was primarily due to contractual index-based rate increases during the current period. Operating income of our DCS segment increased to $189.9 million in the first six months of 2026, from $174.0 million in 2025. The increase is primarily due to increased revenue, lower group medical benefit expenses, and continued execution on the initiative to lower our cost to serve, partially offset by increased driver and nondriver personnel-related costs and higher insurance premium expense when compared to the first six months of 2025.

Added

ICS revenue increased 35% to $711.2 million during the first six months of 2026, from $528.3 million in 2025. Overall volumes increased 14%, while revenue per load increased 18% compared to 2025. The ICS segment had an operating loss of $3.0 million in the first six months of 2026 compared to an operating loss of $6.2 million in 2025. The decrease in operating loss is primarily due to a 7% increase in gross profit, driven by higher revenue per load and volume during the first six months of 2026. Gross profit margin decreased to 12.3% in the current period compared to 15.4% in 2025 due to the increase in purchased transportation expense as third party capacity has tightened across the industry.

Added

FMS revenue decreased 6% to $386 million during the first six months of 2026, from $411 million in 2025, primarily due to the impact of lost business, partially offset by the addition of new customer contracts implemented over the past year. FMS segment had operating income of $12.7 million in the first six months of 2026 and 2025. This was a result of lower revenue and higher purchased transportation expense, partially offset by lower personnel-related costs, decreased insurance claims expense, and decreased facility and equipment rental expense.

Added

JBT segment revenue increased 30% to $445 million for the first six months of 2026, from $344 million in 2025. Revenue, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, increased 26%, primarily due to a 16% increase in load volume and an 8% increase in revenue per load, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, compared to the first six months of 2025. Operating income of our JBT segment decreased to $1.4 million in the first six months of 2026, from $5.4 million in 2025. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to increased purchased transportation costs as third party capacity has tightened across the industry, partially offset by continued cost management and improved productivity.

Total operating expenses increased 11.2%, while operating revenues increased 12.0%, during the first six months of 2026, from the comparable period of 2025. Operating income increased to $466.5 million during the first six months of 2026, from $376.0 million in 2025.

Added

Rents and purchased transportation costs increased 20.4% in 2026.

Added

Salaries, wages, and employee benefits costs decreased 0.7% in 2026 from 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in employee headcounts and a decrease in group medical benefit expenses, partially offset by higher driver wages and additional incentive compensation.

Added

Fuel costs increased 30.8% in 2026, compared with 2025, due primarily to an increase in the price of fuel, partially offset by decreased road miles. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 1.0% in 2026 primarily due to increased equipment and technology costs, partially offset by a prior year increase in the expected useful lives of our trailer fleets.

Added

Operating supplies and expenses increased 4.9%, driven primarily by higher equipment maintenance costs, increased toll costs, and increased tire expense, partially offset by lower travel and entertainment expenses. Insurance and claims expense increased 3.9% in 2026 compared with 2025, primarily due to higher claim severity and increased insurance policy premiums expense, partially offset by lower claim volume. General and administrative expenses decreased 13.7% from the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to lower building and yard rental expense, lower bad debt expense, and a decrease in net loss from sale or disposal of assets, partially offset by higher driver advertising costs. Net loss from sale or disposal of assets was $3.7 million in 2026, compared to a net loss from sale or disposal of assets of $9.4 million in 2025.

Added

Net interest expense decreased 13.1% in 2026, due primarily to a lower average debt balance in the current year. Income tax expense increased 21.8% during the first six months of 2026 compared with 2025, primarily due to increased taxable earnings, partially offset by a lower effective income tax rate in the first six months of 2026. Our effective income tax rate was 25.3% for the first six months of 2026, compared to 26.7% in 2025. Our annual tax rate for 2026 is expected to be between 24.0% and 24.5%. In determining our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. This rate is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates, best estimate of nontaxable and nondeductible items of income and expense, and the ultimate outcome of tax audits.

Reworded

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $353.0$723.3 million during the first quartersix months of 2026, compared with $404.2$806.2 million for the same period 2025. Operating cash flows decreased primarily due to the timing of general working capital activities, partially offset by increased earnings. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $70.7$144.9 million in 2026, compared with $225.1$399.1 million in 2025. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in equipment purchases, net of proceeds from the sale of equipment, compared to the firstsecond quarter 2025. Net cash used in financing activities was $295.0$591.4 million in 2026, compared with $182.7$403.2 million in 2025. This increase resulted primarily from the retirement in March 2026 of our $700 million in senior notes partially offset by net proceeds from our senior credit facility and a decrease in treasury stock purchases.

Reworded

We believe our liquid assets, cash generated from operations, and revolving line of credit will provide sufficient funds for our operating and capital requirements for the foreseeable future. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we were authorized to borrow through a revolving line of credit, which is supported by a credit agreement with a group of banks. The revolving line of credit authorizes us to borrow up to $1.0 billion under a five-year term expiring November 2030, and allows us to request an increase in the revolving line of credit total commitment by up to $400 million and to request two one-year extensions of the maturity date. In addition, the credit agreement authorizesauthorized us to borrow up to an additional $700 million through committed term loans during the six-month period beginning November 25, 2025, due November 2028, of which we partially exercised $475 million in February 2026. The applicable interest rates under this agreement are based on either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), or a Base Rate, depending upon the specific type of borrowing, plus an applicable margin and other fees. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had a combined $562.1$54 million outstanding balanceon underthe ourrevolving seniorline of credit facility,and a $350 million balance of term loans, at an average interest rate of 4.66%4.61% and a cash balance of $4.6$4.2 million.

Reworded

We continue to evaluate the possible effects of current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts on operational cash flows, including the risks of declines in the overall freight market and our customers' liquidity and ability to pay.pay, as well as regulatory and other developments that may impact our capital allocation. We regularly monitor working capital and maintain frequent communication with our customers, suppliers and service providers. A large portion of our cost structure is variable. Purchased transportation expense represents more than half of our total costs and is heavily tied to load volumes. Our second largest cost item is salaries and wages, the largest portion of which is driver pay, which includes a large variable component.

Reworded
