Hub Group, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2010 Earnings
 
 
DOWNERS GROVE, IL, October 19, 2010, -- Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

“We are pleased with our third quarter results which include continued volume growth along with improving margins," commented David P. Yeager, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.   “Our intermodal, truck brokerage and logistics revenue each grew by more than 15% and, for the second quarter in a row, we increased our intermodal volume by more than 20%.   We look forward to a strong finish to the year.”

Hub Group reported income of $12.6 million for the third quarter of 2010, an increase of 28% compared to the third quarter of 2009.  Hub Group’s diluted earnings per share was $0.34 for the third quarter of 2010, which represents an increase of 31% when compared with the prior year period.

Each of the three business lines contributed to Hub Group’s overall revenue increase of 23% to $478 million.  Third quarter intermodal revenue increased 25% to $338 million.  The increase was attributable to a 22% volume increase, a 4% increase for fuel and a 3% increase in pricing, partially offset by a 4% decrease for mix.  Truck brokerage revenue increased 16% to $86 million this quarter.  Third quarter Unyson Logistics revenue increased 23% to $54 million.
