Hub Group, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2010 Earnings
 
 
DOWNERS GROVE, IL, April 21, 2010, -- Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) today reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 of $8.7 million.  Hub Group’s diluted earnings per share was $0.23 for the first quarter of 2010.  This represents an increase of 35% compared to last year's first quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.17.

Hub Group’s revenue increased 19% to $417 million compared to $352 million in the first quarter of 2009.  First quarter intermodal revenue increased 17% to $287 million.  The increase was attributable to a 16% volume increase and a 6% increase for fuel, partially offset by a 5% decrease for price and mix.   Truck brokerage revenue increased 23% to $83 million this quarter.  First quarter logistics revenue increased 23% to $47 million.

Hub Group generated $18 million of cash flow from operations and ended the quarter with $142 million in cash.

“We have started 2010 with a good first quarter,” said David P. Yeager, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “All three business lines showed solid growth, and we look forward to taking this positive momentum into the quarters ahead.”
