1 Main Capital Yaron Naymark | “RLGT is an underfollowed non-asset based third-party (3PL) multinational logistics company at just 7x trailing and 5x normalized EBITDA, which is a low absolute multiple and a significant discount to larger peers. The company was founded in 2005 by CEO Bohn Crain, who grew it through a series of acquisitions and who still holds a 22% stake. RLGT provides transportation and value-added services to customers needing to make large shipments. It does so by operating an agency network in the US and Canada, which includes ~30 company-owned and ~70 independent agent (strategic partners) locations that operate exclusively on its behalf. These agencies arrange the shipment of products, materials or equipment when they are larger than those handled by integrated global carriers like FedEx or UPS. As a 3PL, RLGT relies on its vast network of asset-heavy carrier partners, including truck operators, railroads, airlines and ocean lines. As a complement to its transportation offerings, RLGT provides customers with other value-added services including materials management and distribution, customs brokerage and global trade management services. This model shields the company from the large fixed-cost and utilization risk faced by traditional carriers during cyclical downturns, providing significant flexibility and allowing it to adapt quickly to volume shifts while avoiding the heavy capital expenditure associated with asset ownership. Capital allocation is a core differentiator for RLGT. The company acquires agencies (from within its own network) and other greenfield operations at mid-single-digit EBITDA multiples. From 2006 to today, revenues grew 35 times to over $900 million, while the share count rose only ~40% and the balance sheet remained pristine, being net cash as of its most recent quarter and fiscal-year end. Currently, we are three years into a steep freight recession. RLGT has capitalized on this slowdown by accelerating its pace of acquisitions while reducing its share count. The current pipeline remains robust and management is actively pursuing additional acquisition opportunities, positioning the company to emerge significantly larger and stronger when volumes recover. BSD Analysis: Radiant Logistics' non-asset-based 3PL model offers durable earnings power and acquisition-driven compounding at a deeply discounted valuation. Trading near 5x normalized EBITDA, RLGT's balance sheet strength (net cash) and disciplined capital allocation provide substantial upside leverage to a cyclical freight recovery. The fund sees the freight recession as a temporary headwind, enabling Radiant to buy agencies cheaply and expand market share. With 35x revenue growth since inception and CEO Bohn Crain's 22% ownership aligning incentives, RLGT appears positioned for multiple expansion once margins normalize. Catalysts include a cyclical volume rebound, consolidation, and potential strategic interest from larger logistics players.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Oct 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
