XPO Logistics, which recently completed $125 million in additional financing, said that its third-quarter results won’t match analysts’ expectations.

XPO, Greenwich, Conn., disclosed details of the financing and the quarterly loss in recent regulatory filings.

XPO’s statement said the company expects an operating loss of $9.5 million to $10.5 million, with revenue in the range of $68 million to $72 million.
