On March 13, 2026, Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. announced the dismissal of Grant Thornton LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm. This decision was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and will take effect upon the filing of the company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, which was completed on March 16, 2026. Notably, Grant Thornton's audit reports for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers, indicating that the financial statements were presented fairly in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, the company disclosed a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, which raises concerns about the effectiveness of its financial oversight. The company has authorized Grant Thornton to respond to inquiries from the successor auditor regarding this reportable event. The dismissal of an auditor can often lead to uncertainty in the market, especially when coupled with internal control weaknesses, which may negatively impact investor confidence and the company's stock performance.
