BARCELONA, Spain, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Freightos Limited (NASDAQ:CRGO), the leading vendor-neutral global freight pricing, booking and procurement platform, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"I'm honored to lead Freightos through this next phase as we continue focusing on long-term growth while maintaining disciplined execution and improving operational efficiency," said Pablo Pinillos, CEO and CFO of Freightos. "During the quarter, we continued executing against the strategic and operational priorities introduced earlier this year, including actions to improve efficiency, sharpen investment focus and strengthen our path toward adjusted EBITDA breakeven by the end of 2026. At the same time, the global freight environment remains challenging, with continued disruption across key trade corridors. Our updated outlook reflects those formidable, current market conditions and execution realities, which have led us to adjust our revenue guidance accordingly, while maintaining our adjusted EBITDA guidance. Our long-term strategy remains unchanged, and we continue to believe Freightos is well positioned as global freight increasingly shifts toward interconnected digital procurement and booking workflows."

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

Revenue of $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2026, up 3% compared to $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2025.
IFRS Gross Margin of 66.6%, compared to 66.8% in the first quarter of 2025. Non-IFRS Gross Margin of 73.5%, compared to 73.7% in the first quarter of 2025.
IFRS loss of $6.5 million, compared to a loss of $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2025, primarily as a result of reorganization expenses in 2026.
Adjusted EBITDA of negative $2.8 million, compared to negative $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents and a short term bank deposit balance at the end of March 2026 of $23.5 million.

Recent Business Highlights

Transactions Growth: Freightos platform facilitated 425k transactions in the first quarter of 2026, up 15% year over year. Excluding routes involving Middle East origin, destination or airspace, transactions grew year-over-year at a rate above management expectations, reflecting continued growth across other regions and increased use of alternative routing.
Carrier Growth: The number of carriers actively selling on the platform in the first quarter of 2026 was 79, up from 71 carriers in the first quarter of 2025. During the quarter, the company announced that Ethiopian Cargo and Air Serbia are joining the platform.
Unique Buyer Users: The number of Unique buyer users digitally booking freight services across the platform was approximately 20.6k in the first quarter of 2026.
Gross Booking Value Growth: The total value of transactions processed on the Freightos platform, or GBV, reached $343M for Q1 2026 up 24% from Q1 last year. GBV met management expectations as elevated freight rates as a result of capacity constraints due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East compensated for the transaction shortfall. Once again, the largest contributor from an absolute perspective was Freightos' Webcargo portal.
Revenue Growth: First quarter revenue of $7.2 million reflected solid revenue growth from the WebCargo by Freightos platform and from data solutions mitigated by lower-than-planned performance in SaaS, freightos.com marketplace and customs transactions. Total Platform revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $2.4 million, up 3% year-over-year, and Solutions revenue was $4.8 million, up 3%.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "estimate," "plan," "project," "forecast," "intend," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "seek," "target" or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These statements, which include the financial outlook of Freightos, are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of Freightos, and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Freightos. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including: disruptions and instability caused by Freightos' CEO transition, changes to its board of directors, and its other leadership changes; disruptions to the international freight industry, including those caused by global economic trends and policy changes, such as increased tariffs and protectionist trade policies being implemented by the United States and other countries and their impact on shipping volume and, hence, number of Transactions, GBV and Platform revenue; ongoing and additional military conflicts in the Middle East, and their impact on the international shipping routes that including major air corridors and the Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz; competition; the ability of Freightos to build and maintain relationships with carriers, freight forwarders and importers/exporters; Freightos' ability to keep pace with rapid technological changes, particularly in artificial intelligence; changes in applicable laws or regulations; any downturn or volatility in economic conditions whether related to reduced international trade, inflation, armed conflict or otherwise; changes in the competitive environment affecting Freightos or its users, including Freightos' ability to introduce new products or technologies; risks to Freightos' ability to protect its intellectual property and avoid infringement by others, or claims of infringement against Freightos; and those additional factors discussed under "Item 3.D. Risk Factors" in Freightos' annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 26, 2026, and any other risk factors Freightos includes in any subsequent reports of foreign private issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC. If any of these risks materializes or Freightos' assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks of which Freightos is not aware presently or that Freightos currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect Freightos' expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Freightos anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Freightos' assessments to change. However, while Freightos may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Freightos specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, except as may be required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Freightos' assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Financial Information; Non-IFRS Financial Measures

While certain financial figures included in this press release have been computed in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, this press release does not contain sufficient information to constitute an interim financial report as defined in International Accounting Standards 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" nor a financial statement as defined by International Accounting Standards 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements".

This press release includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with IFRS, including, but not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA. These non-IFRS measures differ from the most directly comparable measures determined under IFRS. For the historical non-IFRS results included herein, we have provided tables at the end of this press release providing a reconciliation of those results to our results achieved under the most directly comparable IFRS measures. For the forward-looking, non-IFRS data included under "Financial Outlook" (Adjusted EBITDA), we have not included the most directly comparable IFRS metric (i.e., IFRS loss), or a reconciliation between the two, because that IFRS data and that reconciliation cannot be prepared without unreasonable effort or with reasonable certainty. Our results and forecasts expressed as non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to revenue, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under IFRS. You should be aware that the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Freightos believes that Adjusted EBITDA and other non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Freightos' operating results because they provide supplemental measures of our core operating performance and offer consistency and comparability with both our own past financial performance and with corresponding financial information provided by peer companies. These non-IFRS measures are presented to permit investors and others to more fully understand how management assesses our performance for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

Certain monetary amounts, percentages and other figures included in this press release have been subject to rounding adjustments, and therefore may not sum due to rounding.

GLOSSARY

We have provided below a glossary of certain terms used in this press release:

Transactions: Number of bookings for freight services, and related services, placed by Buyers across the Freightos platform with third-party sellers and with Clearit. Sellers of Transactions include Carriers (that is, airlines, ocean liners and LCL consolidators) and also other providers of freight services such as trucking companies, freight forwarders, general sales agents, and air master loaders. The number of transactions booked on the Freightos platform in any given time period is net of transactions that were canceled prior to the end of the period. Transactions booked on white label portals hosted by Freightos are included if there is a transactional fee associated with them.
Carriers: Number of unique air and ocean carriers, mostly airlines, that have been sellers of transactions. For airlines, we count booking carriers, which include separate airlines within the same carrier group. We do not count dozens of other airlines that operate individual segments of air cargo transactions, as we do not have a direct booking relationship with them. Carriers include ocean less-than-container load (LCL) consolidators. In addition, we only count carriers when more than five bookings were placed with them over the course of a quarter.
Unique buyer users: Number of individual users placing bookings, typically counted based on unique email logins. The number of buyers, which counts unique customer businesses, does not reflect the fact that some buyers are large multinational organizations while others are small or midsize businesses. Therefore, we find it more useful to monitor the number of unique buyer users than the number of buyer businesses.
GBV: Total value of transactions on the Freightos platform, which is the monetary value of freight services and related services contracted between buyers and sellers on the Freightos platform, plus related fees charged to buyers and sellers, and pass-through payments such as duties. GBV is converted to U.S. dollars at the time of each transaction on the Freightos platform. This metric may be similar to what others call gross merchandise value (GMV) or gross services volume (GSV). We believe that this metric reflects the scale of the Freightos platform and our opportunities to generate platform revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA: Loss before income taxes, finance income, finance expense, share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, reorganization expenses and change in fair value of warrants.
Platform revenue: Fees charged to buyers and sellers in relation to transactions executed on the Freightos platform. For bookings conducted by importers/exporters, our fees are typically structured as a percentage of booking value, depending on the mode and nature of the service. When freight forwarders book with carriers, the sellers often pay a pre-negotiated flat fee per transaction. When sellers transact with a buyer who is a new customer to the seller, we may charge a percentage of the booking value as a fee.
Solutions revenue: Primarily subscription-based SaaS and data. It is typically priced per user or per site, per time period, with larger customers such as multinational freight forwarders or enterprise shippers often negotiating fixed, all-inclusive subscriptions. Revenue from our Solutions segment includes certain non-recurring revenue from services ancillary to our SaaS products, such as engineering, customization, configuration and go-live fees, and data services for digitizing offline data.
