Hub Group, Inc. Reports Earnings for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010

DOWNERS GROVE, IL, January 27, 2011, -- Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) today reported income of $13 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, an increase of 26% compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.  Hub Group’s diluted earnings per share was $0.34 for the fourth quarter of 2010, which represents an increase of 31% when compared with the prior year period.

Hub Group’s revenue increased 18% to $480 million compared to $408 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.  Fourth quarter intermodal revenue increased 19% to $340 million.  The increase was attributable to a 14% volume increase, a 4% increase for fuel and a 4% increase in pricing, partially offset by a 3% decrease for mix.  Truck brokerage revenue was $79 million this quarter, which is equal to revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009.  Fourth quarter Unyson Logistics revenue increased 38% to $61 million.
 
 
 “The fourth quarter was a solid finish to an outstanding year,” remarked David P. Yeager, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hub Group.  “For the year we grew all three business lines, with our intermodal volume up 19%.  Going into our 40th anniversary year, we are well positioned for continued growth.”
 
FULL YEAR 2010
 
Income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $43 million.  Hub Group's diluted earnings per share for 2010 was $1.16.
