EXHIBIT 99.1
 
Hub Group, Inc. Reports Record First Quarter 2012 Earnings
 
 
DOWNERS GROVE, IL, April 19, 2012, -- Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Hub Group reported record income of $13.7 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 30% compared to the first quarter of 2011.  Hub Group’s diluted earnings per share was $0.37 for the first quarter of 2012, which represents an increase of 32% when compared with the prior year period.

Hub Group’s first quarter 2011 pre-tax income included approximately $1.7 million of costs related to the Mode Transportation acquisition.  Excluding the effects of these costs, non-GAAP earnings per share was $0.31 for the 2011 first quarter (see table below).  Earnings per share increased 19% when compared with the non-GAAP earnings per share in the prior year period.

The Hub segment’s revenue increased 16% to $563 million.  First quarter intermodal revenue increased 20% to $404 million.  The increase was attributable to a 15% volume increase and a 5% increase for fuel, price and mix.  Truck brokerage revenue decreased 6% to $80 million this quarter.  First quarter Unyson Logistics revenue increased 23% to $79 million.  The Hub segment’s operating income was $20.0 million.

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.
