ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

 

In this AIF, the terms “Corporation” and “TFI International” mean TFI International Inc., a corporation incorporated pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act, its subsidiaries and, as the case may be, its predecessors.

 

The Corporation was formerly known as TransForce Inc. On December 23, 2016, the Corporation amended its Articles so as to change its corporate name to TFI International Inc.

 

The Corporation was incorporated on March 28, 2008 for the purpose of acquiring all of the issued and outstanding units of TransForce Income Fund (the “Fund”) and “tracking share units” of TFI Holdings Inc. (now known as TForce Holdings Inc.), an indirect subsidiary of the Fund, pursuant to a plan of arrangement under which the Fund was converted into the Corporation. The Corporation, through its subsidiaries, now operates the transportation business formerly operated under the Fund, and the former unitholders of the Fund continue to own, to the extent they remained shareholders of the Corporation, an economic interest in the business formerly operated by the Fund.

 

The Fund resulted from the conversion on September 30, 2002 of TransForce Inc. (“TransForce”), a corporation incorporated on April 30, 1985 pursuant to the Companies Act (Québec), into an income trust. Immediately following the conversion, the Fund, through its subsidiaries, continued to operate the transportation business of TransForce, and the former shareholders of TransForce continued to own, to the extent they remained unitholders of the Fund, an economic interest in the business of TransForce.

 

TransForce was formerly known as 2320-2351 Québec Inc. Its articles were amended on October 9, 1985, October 1, 1986, July 22, 1987, October 19, 1987, March 4, 1988, July 5, 1989 and May 30, 1995, in each case changing its share capital. The articles were also amended on October 1, 1986 to change the corporate name to Groupe Cabano d’Anjou Inc. and on August 7, 1987 to change the corporate name to Cabano Expeditex Inc. On October 19, 1987, Cabano Expeditex Inc. amalgamated with Location Speribel Inc. The articles were subsequently amended on December 4, 1990 to change the corporate name to Groupe Transport Cabano Inc./Cabano Transportation Group Inc., on May 30, 1995 to change the corporate name to Cabano-Kingsway Inc. and on April 23, 1999 to change the corporate name to TransForce Inc.

 

The Corporation’s head office is at 8801 Trans-Canada Highway, Suite 500, Saint-Laurent, Québec, Canada, H4S 1Z6, with executive offices at 96 Disco Road, Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada, M9W 0A3, 14881 Quorum Dr, Suite 700, Dallas, TX, 75254 USA, 9954 Mayland Dr,

Suite 3000, Richmond, VA, 23233 USA, and 3835 PGA Blvd, Suite 803, Palm Beach Gardens, FL, 33410 USA.

TFI International Inc.


GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

 

The Corporation, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, operates a transportation business whose origins can be traced back to 1957. In the mid-1990s, after nearly 40 years of operations, the Corporation updated its corporate strategy for the evolving North American transportation market. To this end, in 1996 a new management team led by Mr. Alain Bédard, the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, was appointed upon the recommendation of the Corporation’s then-principal shareholder.

 

The new management team identified three key objectives for the Corporation: (i) increase revenues from profitable business segments and customers; (ii) strengthen the Corporation’s position in the North American transportation market; and (iii) achieve a more balanced revenue mix. To achieve these three objectives, the management team implemented a strategic plan aimed at serving a diverse set of industrial and consumer end markets through multiple modes of transportation. The Corporation seeks to capitalize on a potential shift toward domestic manufacturing, data center and electric grid related growth, as well as the expansion of e-commerce and domestic truck production. Operationally, the Corporation maintains its focus on an asset-light approach, and continuous efforts to enhance efficiencies. TFI International has a pronounced emphasis on profitability, network density, optimal pricing, quality of revenue, driver retention and prudent capacity management. From a financial perspective, the Corporation values a solid capital foundation enabled by strong free cash flow and ample liquidity, with a conservative balance sheet that features primarily fixed rate debt and limited near-term debt maturities. This strong financial footing allows TFI International to strategically make well-timed investments and pursue selective, accretive acquisitions, while returning excess capital to shareholders whenever possible.

 

TFI International’s overarching strategy begins in March 1998, by entering in the trans-border TL business with the acquisition of Entreprises de Transport J.C.G. Inc., followed by the acquisition of Papineau International Transport Inc. in October 1998. The major acquisition of TST Solutions Inc. and its subsidiaries in March 2000 allowed the Corporation to significantly increase its share of the trans-border LTL market and also provided an entry into the specialized transport. A second major acquisition, that of Canpar Transport Ltd. in July 2002, enabled the Corporation to achieve its goal of becoming a full-service transportation provider, by adding Parcel Delivery to its LTL service offering. In 2004, the Corporation made two other major acquisitions: in January 2004, the Corporation completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Canadian Freightways Limited and its associated companies, which increased route density and extended the Corporation’s LTL and TL operations across Canada, particularly in the western provinces and in the United States. Canadian Freightways also offers specialized services in the areas of logistics and fleet management, customs brokerage and bonded warehousing and international freight forwarding; and in October 2004, the Corporation completed the acquisition of 3846113 Canada Inc. (Highland Transport), which strengthened the Corporation’s presence in the TL transportation sector across Canada.

 

In 2006, the Corporation acquired Kos Corp Oilfield Transportation, Hemphill Trucking Inc. and Streeper Contracting Ltd. These acquisitions provided the Corporation with a solid platform in rig-moving activities. Kos, through its well-established position, served as the foundation for this platform and as a catalyst for future growth within the sector. With the acquisition of Hemphill Trucking Inc. in 2006 and the assets of Speedy Heavy Hauling Inc. in 2010, the Corporation’s presence in the United States in this sector grew. The Corporation’s expansion into rig-moving services was consistent with its diversification strategy.

 

In 2007, the Corporation acquired Location Beaudry, Les Consultants en Personnel Logipro 1997 Inc. and MTC Agence de Personnel Inc., introducing a new niche in the Logistics and Other Services sector, namely the leasing of equipment as well as personnel placement services.

TFI International Inc.


In 2009, the acquisition of ATS Andlauer Retail Solutions Division (now known as TForce Integrated Solutions) introduced new services to complement the Corporation’s package and courier sector, by offering customized freight transportation solutions adapted specifically for regional and national retail and supply chain customers.

 

In 2011, the Corporation acquired Dynamex Inc. (now known as TForce Logistics), adding same-day delivery service to existing customers. Furthermore, the combination of the Corporation’s existing operations and TForce Logistics constituted a powerful offering to potential new clients. More importantly, incorporating TForce Logistics’ services opened doors for the Corporation in the U.S. market.

 

Also in 2011, the Corporation acquired selected assets of DHL Express (Canada) Ltd (“DHL”), now known as Loomis Express, and concluded a strategic alliance with DHL to offer fully integrated international and domestic shipping services, which enables the Corporation, through DHL, to offer international coverage to its customers.

 

The acquisition of QuikX Transportation in January 2012, followed by the acquisition of Clarke Transport Inc. and Clarke Road Transport in January 2014 and Vitran Corporation Inc. in March 2014, further enhanced the Corporation’s LTL intermodal (over-the-rail) transportation services in Canada.

 

In 2013 and early 2014, the Corporation ceased its rig-moving activities in Western Canada and disposed of its personnel placement services.

 

In 2014, the Corporation acquired Transport America, Inc., an important provider of TL transportation and logistics services. This acquisition provided the Corporation with a new presence in the United States TL market.

 

At the end of 2014, the Corporation also acquired all the shares of Contrans Group Inc., an important player in Specialized TL in Canada.

 

During 2015, the Corporation ceased its rig-moving activities in the United States.

 

In February 2016, after 11 years of operations, the Corporation disposed of its Waste Management segment, acquired in 2005.

 

On February 13, 2020, the Corporation’s common shares (the “Common Shares”) commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange in conjunction with the Corporation’s marketed offering of Common Shares in the United States and Canada, representing the Corporation’s initial public offering in the United States. The Corporation issued a total of 6,900,000 Common Shares, including 900,000 Common Shares following the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, at a price of US$33.35 per share, the equivalent of CA$44.20 per share based on the Bank of Canada exchange rate at the time of pricing, for gross proceeds to the Corporation of US$230,115,000 (approximately CA$305 million). The public offering was conducted through a syndicate of underwriters led by Morgan Stanley, BofA Securities, J.P. Morgan and Credit Suisse as joint lead book-running managers, with RBC Capital Markets and UBS Investment Bank as joint-bookrunners and Cowen, National Bank of Canada Financial, Stephens Inc., Stifel and Wolfe Capital Markets and Advisory as co-managers.

 

On August 17, 2020, the Corporation completed a second marketed offering of Common Shares in the United States and Canada in which it issued a total of 5,060,000 Common Shares, including 660,000 Common Shares following the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, at a price of US$43.25 per share, the equivalent of CA$57.32 per share based on the Bank of Canada exchange rate at the time of pricing, for gross proceeds to the Corporation of US$218,845,000 (approximately CA$290 million). The public offering was conducted through a syndicate of underwriters led by Morgan Stanley, BofA Securities, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan, as joint lead book-running managers, with RBC Capital Markets and UBS Investment Bank as joint-bookrunners and Cowen, National Bank of Canada Financial Inc., Stephens Inc., Stifel and Wolfe Capital Markets and

Advisory as co-managers.

 

In November 2020, the Corporation purchased DLS Worldwide, a division of RR Donnelley & Son Company and now operating in the Corporation’s logistics segment in the United States under the name TForce Worldwide. This acquisition opened the doors to the US LTL market through the logistics services offered by the division.

 

On April 30, 2021, the Corporation purchased UPS Ground Freight, Inc. (now TForce Freight, Inc.), the LTL and dedicated TL divisions of United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE: UPS) with US$3 billion in revenues in the United States. As a result of this transaction, the LTL networks in the United States and Canada were combined to provide extensive North American coverage, accelerating industrial and e-commerce growth opportunities. This acquisition contributed to a major change in the Corporation’s geographic revenue allocation derived from the United States and Canada.

 

In August 2022, the Corporation sold, for US$525 million, Transportation Resources, Inc., the parent company of Contract Freighters Inc.’s Truckload, Temp Control and Mexican Logistics Businesses acquired by the Corporation in 2016. The disposition resulted in TFI International exiting the Mexican market.

 

In 2023, the Corporation acquired JHT Holdings, Inc., a leading asset-light logistics and transportation provider in North America for transportation of new trucks from manufacturing and final assembly plants to dealers and end customers, utilizing an asset-light model that involves driving the customers’ new trucks to their destinations.

 

During the second quarter of 2024, the Corporation acquired Daseke, Inc. (NASDAQ: DSKE), one of the leading flatbed and specialized transportation and logistics companies in North America.

 

Since 1996, the Corporation has acquired more than 214 companies as part of its strategic plan. Among the criteria applied by the Corporation to the acquisition of companies is that such companies be profitable and led by experienced and competent management teams. Once acquired by the Corporation, many of the newly-acquired companies continue to operate as wholly-owned subsidiaries under their original names and management teams. The Corporation continues to carry out this strategy.

 

As a result of the implementation of its strategic plan, the Corporation is today a leading player in the North American transportation and logistics industry, with total revenue of US$7.9 billion for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The Corporation has a solid financial position with customers covering a broad cross-section of industries. It has approximately 24,900 employees who work in TFI International’s different business segments across Canada and the United States. The Corporation offers its clients transportation solutions that are firmly supported by the specialization of its subsidiaries and the competence of its management and employees in their areas of expertise. 30 years after the strategic plan was implemented, the Corporation now operates the following reportable segments: (i) LTL; (ii) TL; and (iii) Logistics.

 

As a result of the strategic plan, the Corporation has been able to benefit from and expand its geographic market, as illustrated in the following chart which sets out the geographic breakdown, based on the origin of the service’s location, of the Corporation’s consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025:

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

 

The Corporation is a leading player in the transportation and logistics industry. The Corporation believes that, through its operating subsidiaries, it directly services more urban centres than any other carrier in Canada.

Trends

 

Demand for freight transport is closely linked to the state of the overall economy. Consequently, a change in general economic conditions could impact the Corporation’s performance. However, the Corporation’s extensive customer base, broad geographic dispersion and participation in three distinct segments are intended to help mitigate the effects of any economic downturn.

Equipment

 

The Corporation believes it has the largest trucking fleet in Canada and has a significant presence in the United States. As at December 31, 2025, the Corporation had 12,927 trucks, 40,687 trailers and 6,194 independent contractors. This compares to 14,243 trucks, 45,453 trailers and 7,592 independent contractors as at December 31, 2024.

 

Licenses

 

In Canada, passenger and merchandise road transport licenses are issued by provincial authorities. With respect to interprovincial transport, provincial authorities are delegated the right to issue licenses according to the Canada Transportation Act. Provincial authorities exercise control over the issuance, modification and transfer of licenses and govern in a general manner various aspects of license-holders’ activities. In the United States, the Department of Transportation exercises similar authority. The operating subsidiaries of the Corporation have all the necessary licenses to operate in Canada and the United States, as applicable.

 

Markets and Distribution

 

The Corporation has a diverse base of clients operating across a broad cross-section of industries. Due to the breadth of its client base, a downturn in the activities of individual customers or in a particular industry is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s operations. In the last several years, the Corporation concluded strategic alliances with other transport companies in North America, in order to offer its customers a network extending across Canada and the United States.

Seasonality of Operations

 

The activities conducted by the Corporation are subject to general demand for freight transportation. Historically, demand has been relatively stable with the first quarter being generally the weakest in terms of demand. Furthermore, during the harsh winter months, fuel consumption and maintenance costs tend to rise.

 

Revenues
(in percentages)

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Corporation’s revenues by reportable segment were as follows:

Competition

 

The transportation and logistics industry is fragmented and consists of relatively few large companies and many small companies serving target markets. The target markets are defined by geographical location, point-to-point service location, target customer industries and the type of service provided, such as LTL, TL and Logistics. The smaller operators typically operate in a highly-specialized yet competitive environment in which the customer may have several alternative carriers available. Many of the large carriers are independent subsidiaries of larger transportation companies and offer a wide variety of freight services on a national basis.

 

Carriers compete primarily on price and on their ability to provide reliable, efficient and safe transportation services. The Corporation’s main competitors are: in the LTL sector, Old Dominion, SAIA, ArcBest, and XPO (in the United States), and Mullen and Manitoulin Transport Inc. (in Canada); in the TL sector, Trimac Transportation, Challenger Motor Freight and Bison Transport (in Canada) and Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc., Werner Enterprise, Inc. Schneider National, Inc. and Heniff Transportation Systems (in the United States); and in the Logistics sector, C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc., OnTrac Shipping and Echo Global Logistics.

 

In addition, the Corporation and other trucking operations must compete with other modes of transportation such as rail, airfreight and maritime transportation. These modes of transportation play an important role in the areas served by the Corporation.

 

Human Resources

 

As at December 31, 2025, the Corporation had approximately 24,900 employees who work in TFI International’s different business segments across Canada and the United States. This compares to approximately 27,100 employees as at December 31, 2024. The Corporation considers that it has a relatively low turnover rate among its employees and that employee relations are very good for its industry. A number of these employees are subject to collective agreements. The Corporation ensures that a number of programs for driver training and client service are maintained. In conjunction with the continuous investments in new technologies, such as the use of on-board computers, the Corporation has extended its employee training programs to maximize the use of such technological tools. These initiatives are designed to ensure the quality of services provided to the Corporation’s clientele while enabling it to better control its labour costs. The Corporation also works to ensure the successful integration and training of the employees of any newly-acquired businesses, as applicable.

 

Environmental Matters

 

The operations and properties of the Corporation are subject to environmental laws and requirements in both Canada and the United States relating to, among other things, air emissions and the management of contaminants.

 

The Corporation has adopted sustainable measures to reduce energy waste in its day-to-day operations, such as investing in new technology to reduce the consumption of fuel by its trucks and converting a portion of its fleet to propane. Also, some of the Corporation’s most recent buildings were built with the LEED certification for their high energy efficiency and their design, which together reduce the consumption of energy and therefore, operating costs.

 

A risk of environmental liabilities is inherent in transportation operations, the historic activities associated with such operations, as well as the ownership, management and control of real estate.

 

The cargo carried by the Corporation in its freight-transportation operations can be classified as either non-regulated freight or regulated freight such as hazardous materials and environmentally-regulated waste. Strict parameters must be met before the Corporation and the individual drivers are permitted to transport regulated freight. This involves

11

Annual Information Form 2025

TFI International Inc.


specific insurance requirements, training programs and registration permits with the various provinces and states in which the Corporation operates.

 

A number of the Corporation’s terminals provide full maintenance service and fuel facilities. Each terminal has a series of operational systems that have been implemented to control environmental impact relating to its specific operation.

 

The environmental department of the Corporation has the following responsibilities:

 

Manage and audit Corporation programs designed to provide environmental protection and ensure compliance with applicable environmental laws in Canada and the United States.
Validate due diligence processes related to TFI International’s acquisitions.
Evaluate and identify environmental risks related to acquisitions during the due diligence process.
Participate in the due diligence process related to sales by TFI International of properties or divisions.
Development and implementation of corporate environmental policies and procedures.
Development of risk communication, environmental education/training programs and other initiatives that have a positive impact on environmental programs, strategies and culture.

 

In 2025, the environmental department of TFI International did the following, among other things:

 

Conducted several environmental assessments of properties prior to the acquisition and sale of businesses and real estate.
Undertook environmental remediation at sites affected by historical contamination, such as old fuel tanks, hydraulic hoists, and unknown underground infrastructure.
A significant portion of their efforts was dedicated to managing the environmental aspects of the Corporation's acquisition of UPS Freight and the subsequent remediation projects.
Assisted the Corporation in developing a management system to monitor and track environmental compliance across the Corporation's properties and business units.
Conducted internal audits as part of the Corporation's program to ensure compliance with applicable environmental laws in Canada and the United States.

 

The Corporation environmental management in 2025 did not require significant expenditures to ensure compliance of ongoing operations or for material remediation of any environmental issues.

 

The Corporation does not expect that environmental protection requirements will have a material impact on its capital expenditures, profit or loss or competitive position during the 2026 fiscal year.

 

Trademarks and Patents

 

The Corporation had a total of 142 applied-for or registered trademarks in Canada and the United States as at December 31, 2025, of which 90 are for use in Canada and 52 are for use in the United States. Of the foregoing trademarks, the most important are: (i) “TFI International” and “a TFI International Company” in Canada and the United States; (ii) “Kingsway” in Canada; (iii) “TST” family of trademarks in Canada; (iv) “Quik X” family of trademarks in Canada and the United States; (v) “ICS Courier” in Canada; (vi) “Canpar” family of trademarks, including “Canpar Courier”, in Canada; (vii) “TForce” family of trademarks in Canada and the United States, including “TForce Freight”; (viii) “Loomis Express” in Canada; (ix) “TF Dedicated” in the United States; (x) “Vitran” family of trademarks in Canada and the United States, including “Vitran Express”; (xi) “Contrans” in Canada; (xii) trademarks for the Daseke group of companies in the United States; (xiii) Hercules in the United States; (x) JHT family of trademarks in the United States; (xi) “SFI International” in the United States.

TFI International Inc.


The Corporation also uses a number of unregistered trademarks. The Corporation re-evaluates its intellectual property portfolio on a regular basis and, in this regard, may deem it advisable to register additional trademarks in the future.

 

In addition, the Corporation also had, as of December 31, 2025, more than 40 patents developed by the JHT, Piston Tank and Canpar/Loomis businesses in Canada, the United States and Mexico.

 

risk factors

 

The Corporation’s future results may be affected by a number of uncertainties and risk factors, over many of which the Corporation has little or no control. These uncertainties and risk factors, among others, are discussed in the Corporation’s annual MD&A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, specifically under the heading “Risks and Uncertainties”, which section is incorporated by reference herein. These uncertainties and risk factors should be considered in evaluating the Corporation’s business and growth outlook. The Corporation’s annual MD&A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 is available under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

 

dividends

 

The Corporation cannot declare or pay a dividend if it is in default, or if the payment of a dividend would cause the Corporation to be in default, under its current credit facilities.

 

The Corporation’s dividend policy consists of distributing 15% to 30% of its annualized free cash flow from continuing operations every year as dividends to shareholders on a quarterly basis. The Board of Directors has determined that this level of distribution will allow the Corporation to maintain sufficient financial resources and flexibility to execute its operating and disciplined acquisition strategies, while providing an adequate return on shareholders’ capital. The Board of Directors may also, at its discretion and at any time, change the amount of dividends distributed and/or elect not to distribute a dividend, whether as a result of a one-time decision or a change in the dividend policy.

 

The dividend is payable quarterly on the 15th day following the end of each quarter to shareholders of record as of the last trading day of such quarter. The following dividends (per Common Share) were declared and paid for the 2025, 2024 and 2023 fiscal years:

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS and Regulatory actions

 

Management of the Corporation is not aware of any litigation outstanding, threatened or pending as of the date hereof by or against the Corporation other than in the normal course of business, except the following:

 

(a)
A securities class action was filed by Barrett Brownbridge in federal Court in the Southern District of New York on March 14, 2025 against TFI International, Alain Bédard (Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation) and David Saperstein (Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation). The lawsuit alleges that the defendants knowingly or recklessly made material misrepresentations/omissions for the purpose of concealing TFI International’s financial well-being. The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory damages as well as interest. TFI International is vigorously defending itself against this claim. The parties are currently engaged in the motion to dismiss schedule with final briefings with respect thereto expected to be filed in March 2026.

 

(b)
A second securities class action was filed by Denis Courcy on April 22, 2025 against TFI International, Alain Bédard and David Saperstein before the Superior Court of Québec, in effect a copy of the action referred to above. The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages as well as interest and an additional indemnity. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants issued misleading financial statements and failed to disclose critical issues such as customer losses, declining revenues, and cost management problems, which allegedly led to artificial inflation of the Corporation’s stock price. Since filing the application for authorization, the plaintiff has taken no further steps to advance the proceeding. In particular, the plaintiff has not indicated any intention to examine the defendants or to file expert evidence. TFI International intends to vigorously defend itself against this claim.

 

(c)
A third securities class action was filed by Abigail Yashayaeva in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on May 21, 2025 against TFI International, several of its executives, members of the Board of Directors, and leaders responsible for the LTL division. The plaintiff alleges that TFI International misrepresented the financial health and operational performance of its U.S. LTL business, concealing issues such as customer loss, structural inefficiencies, and cost management failures, which allegedly led to artificial inflation of the Corporation’s stock price. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages as well as interest and costs. At this time, the plaintiff has yet to complete service of the action on all defendants and has not yet delivered materials respecting the requisite motion for leave to proceed under the plaintiff’s proposed statutory claims and respecting the plaintiff’s motion to seek certification of the action as a class proceeding. Counsel for the plaintiff has advised the Ontario Superior Court that the motion materials for leave to proceed and for certification will be delivered by the end of May 2026. TFI International intends to vigorously defend itself against this claim.

 

The Corporation believes that the allegations in the foregoing securities class actions have no merit.

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Corporation was not subject to:

 

(a)
any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority;

 

(b)
any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor in making an investment decision; or
