Fourth-quarter growth accelerates across revenue, profitability and margin; Company positioned for future growth with extended and enhanced $200 million credit facility, and no net debt.

RENTON, Wash., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Radiant Logistics, Inc. (NYSE American: RLGT), a technology-enabled global transportation and value-added logistics services company, today reported financial results for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2026.

Financial Highlights – Three Months Ended June 30, 2026

Financing Update

On August 7, 2026, the Company entered into an amended revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., Bank of Montreal, PNC Bank, National Association and KeyBank National Association, extending and enhancing its existing $200 million revolving credit facility. The amendment extends the facility’s maturity by five years to August 7, 2031, increases the accordion feature available to support future acquisitions from $75 million to $100 million, and modestly improves pricing on borrowings. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $25.0 million outstanding under the facility, more than offset by $25.6 million of cash on hand, leaving Radiant with no net debt and substantial available capacity to accelerate its organic and acquisition growth initiatives.

CEO Bohn Crain Comments on Results

“We are pleased to report another quarter of solid financial results delivering $10.4 million in adjusted EBITDA for our fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026,” said Bohn Crain, Founder and CEO of Radiant Logistics. “Our fourth fiscal quarter results were strong across the board, with revenue up 18.5%, adjusted gross profit up 10.6%, adjusted net income up 34.5%, adjusted EBITDA up 31.6%, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanding 240 basis points, all measured against the comparable prior year period. Our quarter-over-quarter improvement was driven principally by our U.S. forwarding operations and contribution across both our domestic and international and service offerings, including notable strength in our international airfreight operations.

On the domestic side, Navegate is beginning to prove itself out as a catalyst for growth, providing customers with better visibility and tools to manage complex supply chains, with one of our enterprise customers now actively managing over 1,400 vendors using the platform. More broadly, capacity has continued to exit the North American truckload and intermodal markets through a combination of carrier attrition, tightening driver availability, and the normalization of a fleet that had expanded aggressively in prior years. Spot rates, tender rejections, and other cyclical indicators moved higher through the spring and carried into our fourth quarter. While these market trends are not fully reflected in our results for the June quarter, we view these developments as constructive for our domestic operations in general and our U.S. Brokerage operations, in particular. If these trends continue, we believe they support a more broad-based and durable recovery for the domestic freight market.

Also during the quarter, we extended our two-decade track record of one of the industry’s premier freight forwarding agent networks into the truck brokerage and intermodal space with the launch of a new independent agent program at Radiant Road & Rail. The program brings the same value proposition that has long distinguished our freight forwarding business — access to our carrier network, technology platform, back-office infrastructure, and a clear, structured path to build long-term equity value with a built-in exit strategy — to a new population of logistics entrepreneurs. We’re pleased with the early response to the program and see this as a meaningful new avenue for organic growth as we bring the Radiant model to an entirely new market.

The international picture, while still shaped by a complex and evolving trade environment, showed encouraging signs of improvement during our fourth fiscal quarter. Global trade flows continued to be influenced by two significant forces. The first is the ongoing disruption to traditional ocean shipping routes, stemming from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and continued Houthi activity affecting Suez Canal transits, which has kept capacity tight across key international trade lanes. Despite all of the complications impacting the ocean markets, we saw an encouraging uptick in ocean freight rates late in the quarter, as carriers exercised continued capacity discipline — an early signal that the prolonged downturn in ocean pricing may be starting to stabilize.

The second is the ongoing transformation of the global tariff landscape, with U.S. trade policy sustaining a high degree of compliance complexity for shippers. This complexity, together with a period of elevated IEEPA-related filing activity across the industry, has continued to drive demand for our customs house brokerage expertise, as customers rely on experienced partners to navigate an evolving tariff structure. More recently, escalating tariff actions between the U.S. and Canada — including new retaliatory measures Canada put into effect in early September — add a further layer of complexity for shippers moving goods across our shared border. While it’s early to gauge the full impact, we expect this cross-border dynamic to remain a source of demand for our customs brokerage and compliance capabilities, and it may also create additional international air and ocean freight forwarding opportunities for our Canadian operations as shippers look to diversify away from cross-border trucking and rail.

Notably, our airfreight performance was up meaningfully during the quarter, driven in large part by our work in support of disaster relief following typhoon activity in the Western Pacific earlier this year.

We are entering this next phase of the cycle from a position of real financial strength. In August 2026, we completed an amended and restated $200 million secured credit facility, extending its maturity to 2031, expanding our acquisition-focused accordion to $100 million, and improving our pricing terms — and we enter fiscal 2027 with no net debt. That capacity, together with our long-term strategy of growing organically where our network gives us an advantage and supplementing that growth through disciplined acquisitions, positions us well to build on the encouraging, though still early, signs of a domestic freight recovery.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
RADIANT LOGISTICS, INC.

Reconciliation of Gross Profit to Adjusted Gross Profit, Net Income Attributable to Radiant Logistics, Inc.
to Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
(unaudited)

As used in this report adjusted gross profit, adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted gross profit, adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are presented herein because they are important metrics used by management to evaluate and understand the performance of the ongoing operations of Radiant’s business. For adjusted net income, management uses a 24.5% tax rate to calculate the provision for income taxes to normalize Radiant’s tax rate to that of its competitors and to compare Radiant’s reporting periods with different effective tax rates. In addition, in arriving at adjusted net income, the Company adjusts for certain non-cash charges and significant items that are not part of regular operating activities. These adjustments include income taxes, depreciation and amortization, costs unrelated to our core operations, and other non-cash charges.

We commonly refer to the term “adjusted gross profit” when commenting about our Company and the results of operations. Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP measure calculated as revenues less directly related operations and expenses attributed to the Company’s services. Adjusted gross profit is calculated as GAAP gross profit exclusive of depreciation and amortization, which are reported separately. We believe adjusted gross profit is a better measurement than are total revenues when analyzing and discussing the effectiveness of our business and is used as a portion of a key metric the Company uses to discuss its progress.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of income and does not include the effects of interest, income taxes, and the “non-cash” effects of depreciation and amortization on long-term assets. Companies have some discretion as to which elements of depreciation and amortization are excluded in the EBITDA calculation. We exclude all depreciation charges related to property, technology, and equipment and all amortization charges (including amortization of leasehold improvements). We then further adjust EBITDA to exclude share-based compensation, costs unrelated to our core operations (primarily acquisition and litigation costs), allocation of earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, and other non-cash charges. While management considers EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA useful in analyzing our results, it is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, represent a useful method of assessing the performance of our operating activities, as they reflect our earnings trends without the impact of certain non-cash charges and other non-recurring charges. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement the GAAP financial information by providing additional insight regarding results of operations to allow a comparison to other companies, many of whom use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures will not be defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other companies. Adjusted gross profit, adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as an indication of Radiant’s operating performance or liquidity.

RUTGERS AND RWJBARNABAS HEALTH TO LAUNCH INNOVATION HUB, POWERED BY AMAZON WEB SERVICES

Published

on

By

The collaboration establishes one of the nation’s first technology innovation hubs that brings together a medical school, academic health system and cloud technology leader to advance patient care and medical education

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rutgers University and RWJBarnabas Health today announced the launch of the Rutgers/RWJBarnabas Health Innovation Hub, powered by Amazon Web Services.

This collaboration will provide opportunities for students studying medicine, engineering, computer science, business and other fields to work at the forefront of technology-driven discovery. By bringing together students, clinicians, researchers and technology experts, the hub will accelerate advancements in medical education, clinical innovation and patient care throughout New Jersey.

The hub combines Rutgers’ academic and research abilities, RWJBarnabas Health’s clinical expertise and patient reach as New Jersey’s largest academic health system, and AWS cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) technology to tackle real-world health care challenges from the classroom to the hospital bedside. It also mirrors the state’s efforts to ensure New Jersey maintains its legacy as a leader in innovation and invention.

“As we build the future Rutgers School of Medicine, we have an unprecedented opportunity to embed innovation into the foundation of how we educate and deliver care,” said Amy Murtha, founding dean of the future Rutgers School of Medicine. “This collaboration with RWJBarnabas Health and AWS means our students won’t just learn about the future of health care – they’ll build solutions that can reach real patients in real communities across New Jersey.”

“As New Jersey continues to lead in being a home for innovation, RWJBarnabas Health will lead by bringing to New Jersey a new model for integrating technologies that can change the way we deliver care, educate tomorrow’s clinicians, and save lives,” said Mark E. Manigan, president and chief executive officer of RWJBarnabas Health. “Along with our partners at Rutgers, this hub will allow us to take new technologies from ideation to implementation. We are ready to carry on our state’s legacy of healthcare innovation leadership that Robert Wood Johnson began more than a century ago.”

The long-term goal is a self-sustaining innovation model in which successful projects advance into Rutgers’ academic enterprise and RWJBarnabas Health’s clinical innovation efforts, attracting new collaborators, research support and industry partnerships that create opportunities for future student teams.

“What Rutgers and RWJBarnabas Health are building together is exactly the kind of bold, mission-driven collaboration we champion at AWS, bringing world-class cloud and AI technology to bear on challenges that truly matter,” said Kim Majerus, vice president of global education and local government at Amazon Web Services. “They’re creating an engine that will deliver real solutions for the people of New Jersey while preparing the next generation of health care professionals to lead with AI. When institutions come together like this – shoulder to shoulder, across disciplines – that’s when we see the kind of transformation that changes lives.”

Students throughout Rutgers, from undergraduates to doctoral students, will have the chance to participate in four- to 10-week rapid prototyping projects, which are short and intensive collaborations that design and test ideas.

The inaugural cohort is expected to include up to five interdisciplinary teams working on needs identified by Rutgers faculty and RWJBarnabas Health clinicians. Potential areas of focus may include technology tools that support clinical decision-making, medical and interprofessional education, student health and wellness, streamlined hospital operations and efforts to advance health equity.

Rutgers faculty and RWJBarnabas Health clinicians will mentor the teams and evaluate their projects as they develop and test their ideas. Students will have access to AWS technology, cloud computing credits, operational support, technical mentorship from AWS engineers and the broader AWS Cloud Innovation Centers network.

Housed in the Health and Life Science Exchange (HELIX) in New Brunswick, N.J., the hub will provide a dedicated home for interdisciplinary collaboration, where teams will develop solutions to pressing issues in health care education and delivery. The goal is to help move promising student ideas from prototypes toward real-world applications in research, medical education and patient care, including technologies that streamline hospital operations, strengthen care coordination and improve patient experience.

The HELIX also will be home to the New Brunswick campus of the future Rutgers School of Medicine, which will unite Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and New Jersey Medical School. Pending accreditation in 2027 from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the accrediting body for medical education programs, the first class of the unified school is expected to enroll in 2028 at what would become one of the nation’s largest public medical schools based on enrollment.

Rutgers has seen the potential of interdisciplinary health care innovation through the Rutgers Health Hack, where students, faculty and industry partners including RWJBarnabas Health and AWS collaborate to address health care priorities during a 48-hour “hackathon.”

One recent project involves developing an intelligent coaching system that uses students’ academic progress to provide personalized AI-generated feedback and guidance alongside one-on-one coaching. The technology is being developed to support students at both Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and New Jersey Medical School as the schools integrate.

The Rutgers/RWJBarnabas Health Innovation Hub, powered by AWS, extends that model year-round, providing a structured pathway for promising projects to evolve from identified clinical needs to tested solutions.

Operations are expected to begin in the fall.

Clone Systems Rebuilds CloneGuard With 4x the Vulnerability Detection, Private AI Remediation, and Authenticated Testing You Can Buy Online

Published

on

By

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Clone Systems, Inc. today launched a rebuilt version of CloneGuard, its vulnerability scanning and penetration testing platform. The new release quadruples the platform’s vulnerability detection library, adds authenticated testing of web applications and APIs, extends internal scanning to remote hosts through lightweight endpoint agents, and introduces a privately hosted AI assistant that ranks every finding by what to fix first. Clone Systems has been a PCI SSC Approved Scanning Vendor since 2007.

Testing behind the login

Rebuilt CloneGuard adds 4x detection, authenticated testing, and a private AI assistant that ranks what to fix first.

Unauthenticated testing reports what is visible from outside an application. Most business logic sits behind the login. CloneGuard now signs in with customer-supplied test credentials and assesses the web applications and APIs that only a logged-in user can reach. The same capability extends to Clone Systems’ web application penetration testing, which now runs from inside a valid session against privileged workflows and role-based permissions.

Internal scanning that reaches every host

Agent-based internal scanning covers the hosts a network scan cannot reach. Lightweight agents on Windows, macOS, and Linux report software inventory to the platform, extending internal scanning to remote and work-from-home machines. Because the platform already holds the inventory, vulnerability checks run against it in seconds and can run daily. When a new vulnerability is published, affected hosts are identified immediately rather than at the next scan window.

Findings are tagged against the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog and linked to the exploitation context behind them. Each scan also renders an interactive attack path view showing how findings chain together, so remediation starts with what an attacker would reach first.

“The uncomfortable part of scanning behind the login is that you find more,” said Elyse Hamilton, Vice President of Business Development at Clone Systems. “That’s why we didn’t ship the scanning without the assistant. A longer list only helps if someone tells you which three things to fix on Monday.”

A private assistant, not a third-party integration

Every CloneGuard report leads with a fix-these-first section. For the findings that matter most, the AI assistant names the affected software and the specific action required. It answers questions about a customer’s environment in plain language and compares any two scans to show what has been remediated and what is new.

The assistant runs entirely inside Clone Systems’ environment. Many scanning platforms deliver AI features by having customers supply their own public large language model (LLM) API key, which sends vulnerability data outside the customer’s control. The CloneGuard assistant requires no customer API key, never transfers customer data to an outside provider, and never uses customer data to train any model.

Availability and pricing

CloneGuard is available today with published pricing and online checkout, with no sales call required. Plans start at $185 a year for external vulnerability scanning of a single IP address, and every subscription includes Clone Systems’ U.S.-based security operations center, staffed around the clock by certified analysts. More than 100 resellers, including managed service providers, payment processors, hosting companies, and Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs), deliver CloneGuard under their own brands.
