First-pass take

Double-digit net revenue growth (+15%) offset by margin contraction (-270bps). AI positioning aspirational (load calculator, pilots) with minimal revenue impact; growth driven by regulatory tolls and volumes. At 2.0x leverage with 15% capex intensity, flexibility constrained. Cyclical freight exposure and undisclosed customer concentration present downside risk.
