On January 30, 2017, post-market, Roadrunner announced that in November 2016, the Company "was made aware of various potential accounting discrepancies at its Morgan Southern and Bruenger operating subsidiaries" and commenced an investigation with the assistance of outside counsel. While the investigation remains ongoing, Roadrunner advised investors that the Company "currently estimates it will require prior period adjustments to Roadrunner's results of operations of between $20 million and $25 million" in the Company's annual and quarterly financial reporting for the years 2014, 2015, and 2016. Roadrunner advised investors that the errors "principally relate to unrecorded expenses from unreconciled balance sheet accounts including cash, driver and other receivables, and linehaul and other driver payables," and that the Company is reassessing its internal controls over financial reporting and its compliance programs.

On this news, Roadrunner stock has fallen as much as $3.89, or 33.71%, to a low of $7.65 on January 31, 2017.
