HUB GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.      Interim Financial Statements

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hub Group, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

        The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

        These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Results of operations in interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year due partially to seasonality.

        Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2.      Restructuring Charges

        In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a $458,000 liability for the remaining lease obligation related to a closed facility. Lease payments made during 2004 were $80,000. The payments made in the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 were $53,000 and $27,000 respectively. The lease obligation is $201,000 at June 30, 2004.

        During the quarter ended June 30, 2003 the Company recorded a liability of $180,000 for the estimated remaining lease obligation and closing costs related to a facility in Detroit. Approximately $43,000 of the lease obligation remains as of June 30, 2004. Lease and closing cost payments made during 2004 were $37,000. The payments made in the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 were $19,000 and $18,000, respectively.

        During the year ended December 31, 2003 the Company recorded a severance charge for 165 employees of $876,000. Severance payments of $75,000 were made during the period ended March 31, 2004. All of the severance payments for these employees were made as of March 31, 2004.

        During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded severance charges for 20 employees of $115,000 and for the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded severance charges for 20 employees of $191,000. Total severance charges for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $306,000 for 40 employees. All of these severance payments were made as of June 30, 2004.

NOTE 3.      Stock Based Compensation

        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,”as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company grants options at fair market value and therefore recognizes no compensation expense.


        The following table illustrates the effect on the net income and net income per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share data):

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, June 30,
2004 2003 2004 2003
     
Net income, as reported   $4,059   $1,547   $6,772   $2,906  
     
Add: Total stock-based compensation included in net income, 
   net of related tax effects  319     605    
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense   determined under fair value based method for all 
   awards, net of related tax effects  (470 ) (186 ) (924 ) (364 )




Net income, pro forma  $3,908   $1,361   $6,453   $2,542  




Earnings per share: 
     
Basic-- as reported  $0.52   $0.20   $0.87   $0.38  




Basic-- pro forma  $0.50   $0.18   $0.83   $0.33  




Diluted-- as reported  $0.48   $0.20   $0.81   $0.37  




Diluted-- pro forma  $0.46   $0.17   $0.77   $0.33  




Dividend Yield  $0.00   $0.00   $0.00   $0.00  




        No options were granted in 2004. The above table is based upon the valuation of option grants using the Black-Scholes pricing model for traded options with an assumed risk-free interest rate of 3.6% in 2003, a stock price volatility factor of 40.0% in 2003 and an expected life of the options of six years. Using the foregoing assumptions, the calculated weighted-average fair value of the options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $2.95 and for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $2.35. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

        The pro forma disclosure is not likely to be indicative of pro forma results which may be expected in future periods because of the fact that options vest over several years, pro forma compensation expense is recognized as the options vest and additional awards may also be granted.
