EX. 99.1

 

 

Hub Group, Inc. Reports Record First Quarter 2016 Earnings per Share of $0.51

  

OAK BROOK, IL, April 26, 2016, -- Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

 

Hub Group reported net income of $18.0 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to $10.3 million for the first quarter of 2015.  Hub Group’s diluted earnings per share was $0.51 for the quarter.  Earnings per share increased 82% when compared with the prior year period.  Hub Group’s pre-tax income included one-time costs of $4.1 million including $3.1 million of costs related to the closure of the Hub Group Trucking terminal in Los Angeles and $1.0 million of severance resulting from management changes.  Excluding the effect of these items, non-GAAP earnings per share was $0.58 for the quarter (see table below).  Hub Group’s revenue decreased 4% to $806 million due to lower fuel revenue.  

 

The Hub segment’s revenue decreased 4% to $615 million due primarily to a decrease in fuel revenue.  First quarter intermodal revenue decreased 2% to $414 million.  Intermodal volume increased 1%.  Truck brokerage revenue decreased 9% to $81 million this quarter.  First quarter Unyson Logistics revenue decreased 10% to $120 million.  The Hub segment’s operating income was $22.5 million.  

 

The Mode segment’s revenue decreased 2% to $209 million.  Operating income was $6.3 million, an increase of 24% compared to the prior year period.

 

Hub Group ended the quarter with $200 million in cash.

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), reported earnings per share include the after-tax impact of the items identifiable in this table. For internal purposes, Hub excludes these items from results when evaluating operating performance.  This table and Hub’s internal use of non-GAAP earnings per share are not intended to imply, and should not be interpreted as implying, that non-GAAP earnings per share is a better measure of performance than GAAP earnings per share.
