Expeditors Q3 update: AI growth, de minimis impact, customs brokerage expansion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- AI infrastructure shipments positively impacted airfreight, customs, Transcon, and warehousing in Q3 2025.
- U.S. de minimis exemption expiration eased air capacity; shippers accelerated orders ahead of tariffs.
- Ocean rates declined substantially in Q3; carrier capacity increased since late 2024.
- Customs brokerage grew on higher entries, more line items/entry, and price increases; expects added 'post entry' filings work.
- Headcount up ~10% from early 2024 to handle increased shipment and customs complexity; IT costs drove other expenses higher.
