Ted Daniel, Chief Executive Officer, Titanium Transportation Group commented “Titanium entered 2025 delivering 7.5% year-over-year consolidated revenue growth in Q1, despite ongoing market headwinds.
“The results were driven in large part by strong performance in our logistics segment, which grew revenue by over 17%. Our asset-light, high return on invested capital logistics model continues to scale efficiently, with new US freight brokerage offices demonstrating attractive early returns and strong customer uptake.
“We also maintained a prudent approach to capital allocation, reducing debt by $10.7 million in the quarter and reallocating proceeds from non-core asset divestitures to strengthen the balance sheet and support high growth opportunities in logistics. As a result, cash flow from operating activities more than doubled to $15.0 million, and cash on hand increased by $14 million during the quarter, underscoring our focus on disciplined execution and strong cash flow generation.
“While macro conditions remain challenging, sequential trends improved through the quarter, and early Q2 indicators point to continued recovery. With a more focused platform, growing logistics footprint, and enhanced financial flexibility, Titanium is well-positioned to deliver sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value,” added Mr. Daniel.

2025 Outlook
“As we progress through 2025, the freight market remains challenging, marked by ongoing rate pressure, demand softness, and uncertainty around tariffs. While cross-border activity may encounter headwinds, it is worth highlighting that approximately two-thirds of Titanium’s volume is non-cross border and not directly exposed to potential tariff risks,” noted Mr. Daniel.
Our investment in our people and technology, and our focus on service, safety, fraud prevention and cyber security, is differentiating TTGI from our competition and enhancing the value equation for our customers. In recent months, we have seen examples of top tier customers, restoring or expanding their business with us after having tried other carriers, as well as bringing new customers on board.
“By staying focused on customer service, productivity and cash flow, Titanium is positioned to emerge stronger as freight conditions normalize,” added Mr. Daniel.
2025 Guidance
Amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, freight market volatility, and unpredictable tariff backdrop, Titanium Transportation will continue to withhold formal guidance at this time. The Company remains confident in the fundamentals of the business and is focused on operational execution, margin preservation and cash generation.
