Exhibit 99.1 EARNINGS RELEASE By: Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. Sterling Plaza 2, 3rd Floor 3545 Factoria Blvd. SE Bellevue, Washington 98006 CONTACTS: Daniel R. Wall Bradley S. Powell Geoffrey Buscher President and Chief Executive Officer Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Director - Investor Relations (206) 674-3455 (206) 674-3412 (206) 892-4510 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EXPEDITORS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2025 EPS OF $1.34 BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON - August 5, 2025, Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. (NYSE:EXPD) today announced second quarter 2025 financial results including the following comparisons to the same quarter of 2024: • Diluted Net Earnings Attributable to Shareholders per share (EPS1) increased 8% to $1.34 • Net Earnings Attributable to Shareholders increased 5% to $184 million • Operating Income increased 11% to $248 million • Revenues increased 9% to $2.7 billion • Airfreight tonnage increased 7% and ocean container volume increased 7% • Cash returned to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases was $335 million “Throughout the Expeditors global network, we are seeing the positive impact of our strategic initiatives to maximize operational excellence,” said Daniel R. Wall, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our focus on growth and execution puts us in a strong position to quickly adapt to this highly unpredictable environment. We are working with each of our regions and districts to increase efficiency and further optimize customer service to drive organic growth and boost profitability. “We continued to grow all of our businesses during another quarter in which on-and-off tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty prompted many of our customers to re-evaluate their supply chains in anticipation of higher tariffs. Average buy and sell rates, for both air and ocean, remained highly volatile. We once again processed a substantial increase in customs clearances requiring greater skill as they have become more complex, while also growing air tonnage and ocean volumes. “Our airfreight business increased on growth in tonnage and higher rates in most regions, as capacity remained tight despite new government limits on de minimis shipments, and particularly as customers sought to ship technology and other high- value inventory ahead of trade deadlines. Our ocean business also grew largely on increased volumes, particularly exports out of South Asia, as customers relocated sourcing to that region and moved freight in advance of extended tariff deadlines. Ocean rates softened throughout the quarter, with demand unable to match increased ocean capacity. Our other businesses within the customs brokerage segment, including road freight and warehousing and distribution, also grew on strong volumes and new business, as we worked with a mix of current and new customers to navigate the unpredictable and changing state of global supply chains. “Looking ahead, we continue to expect the freight environment to remain unpredictable. Our resilience comes from the experience and expertise of our global network. Our customers have become accustomed to this unsettled environment and have come to trust that we can help them navigate uncertainty. This has not come without enormous extra effort and diligence from all our employees over the past months, and we are deeply appreciative.”

Bradley S. Powell, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, “We continued to watch expenses closely during the quarter, increasing operating income by 11%. As many costs have increased, we have been careful to limit headcount growth only in support of additional business activity, and to make essential investments to further strengthen our critical information systems.” Mr. Powell noted that the Company’s second quarter net earnings grew at a lower rate than operating income as our effective tax rate increased from 25.8% a year ago to 28.7% during the most recent quarter, driven by changes in foreign exchange rates and certain non-deductible expenses. Mr. Powell further commented that the Company returned $335 million to shareholders in common stock repurchases and dividends during the second quarter of 2025. Expeditors is a global logistics company headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. The Company employs trained professionals in 172 district offices and numerous branch locations located on six continents linked into a seamless worldwide network through an integrated information management system. Services include the consolidation or forwarding of air and ocean freight, customs brokerage, vendor consolidation, cargo insurance, time-definite transportation, order management, warehousing and distribution and customized logistics solutions. Disclaimer on Forward-Looking Statements: Certain statements contained in this news release are “forward-looking statements,” based on management’s views with respect to future events and underlying assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding inflation; continued changes in air and ocean carrier capacity and the impact on rates; unpredictability in the ocean and air markets; geopolitical uncertainty; national policy changes on tariffs and other similar measures; port actions and other labor disruptions; new capacity in the marketplace; longer ocean transit times; e-commerce demand in the air market; changing de minimis laws; and volatile rates. Future financial performance could differ materially because of factors such as: our ability to produce organic growth and boost profitability as a result of strategic initiatives to maximize operational performance; our ability to continue to process an increasing number of more complex customs clearances; our ability to secure higher air tonnage and ocean volumes; our ability to carefully add headcount and keep other costs in check while continuing to generate efficiency that meets our historical expectations; the alignment of our variable compensation structure with performance; our ability to enhance and bolster our network security; our ability to take market share; our ability to offer cross-border customs expertise; our ability to offer solutions to address the ever shifting tariff changes and customer sourcing decisions; our ability to find solutions to keep cargo moving for our customers during highly uncertain market conditions; our ability to leverage the strength of our carrier relationships; the strength of our non-asset- based operating model; and our ability to remain a strong, healthy, unified and resilient organization. Geopolitical risks, port actions, other labor disruptions, tariffs, the removal of the de minimis exemption, and the current uncertainty in the global economy could have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10- K, including, without limitation, those related to the success of our strategy and desire to maintain historical unitary profitability, our ability to attract and retain customers, our ability to manage costs, interruptions to our information technology systems, the ability of third-party providers to perform, and potential litigation and contingencies, including risks associated with tax audits, as updated by our reports on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These and other factors are discussed in the Company’s regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release speak only as of this date and the Company does not assume any obligation to update them except as required by law.
