E A R N I N G S P R E S E N T A T I O N | 4 Q ' 2 5 38 Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited) Note: ArcBest Corporation reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures utilized for internal analysis provides analysts, investors, and others the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance and provides meaningful comparisons between current and prior period results, as well as important information regarding performance trends. Accordingly, using these measures improves comparability in analyzing our performance because it removes the impact of items from operating results that, in management's opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results. These financial measures should not be construed as better measurements than operating income, operating cash flow, net income or earnings per share, as determined under GAAP.

All forward-looking financial targets in this presentation assume a consolidated tax rate of 25%. Consolidated non-GAAP earnings per share and non-GAAP return on capital employed are non-GAAP financial measures that most closely correlate with consolidated earnings per share and return on capital employed. These non-GAAP measures exclude purchase accounting amortization, which is expected to total $7M pre-tax in 2028. These non-GAAP measures also exclude innovative technology costs, life insurance proceeds, changes in cash surrender value of life insurance policies and income taxes related to the annual vesting of restricted stock units, each of which cannot be estimated for 2028 and could be material. As a result, we are unable to provide quantitative reconciliations to the most closely correlated GAAP measure. Non-GAAP Asset-Based Operating Ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that most closely correlates with Asset-Based Operating Ratio. Non-GAAP Asset-Based OR could be adjusted for non-recurring infrequent or unusual items. Because the timing, amount and nature of any adjustments are unknown, and any adjustments could be material in future periods, we are unable to provide quantitative reconciliations to the most closely correlated GAAP measure. Asset-Light non-GAAP operating income range of $40M to $70M excludes GAAP impacts from purchase accounting amortization, which are expected to total $7M in 2028. Including these impacts, the Asset-Light GAAP operating income would range from $33M to $63M in 2028. See reconciliation table to the right.

Also includes pension settlement expense related to the Company’s supplemental benefit plan. 18) Adjusted EBITDA is a primary component of the financial covenants contained in ArcBest Corporation’s Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA to be relevant and useful information, as EBITDA is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors, and others to measure financial performance and ability to service debt obligations. Furthermore, management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of performance and for business planning. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as better measurements than operating income (loss), operating cash flow, net income, or earnings per share, as determined under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently; therefore, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies 19) Includes amortization of intangibles associated with acquired businesses. 20) Includes pre-tax pension settlement expense of $4.2 million related to the Company’s nonunion defined benefit pension plan, for which plan termination was completed as of December 31, 2019, and a $4.0 million noncash pension termination expense related to an amount which was stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income until the pension benefit obligation was settled upon plan termination. 21) Management uses Adjusted Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) as a measure of the profitability of the company's capital employed in its business operations. ROCE is a good indicator of long-term company and management performance as it relates to capital efficiency. The calculation of ROCE as presented below begins with the numerator of Net Income from Continuing Operations and the denominator of Average Debt and Average Total Equity. The Net Income from Continuing Operations is adjusted for Non-GAAP items and after-tax interest expense. 22) After-tax interest expense is interest and other related financing costs, net of an assumed 26.7% tax rate in 2025. 23) Average total equity is the average of the beginning and ending total stockholders’ equity. 24) Average total debt is the average of the beginning and ending current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, less current portion.
