INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hub Group, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations. NOTE 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On March 18, 1996, the Company acquired a controlling interest in each of 27 operating partnerships (collectively referred to as "Hub Partnerships") for a total purchase price of approximately $43,309,000 in cash. The purchase price of these acquisitions was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair value at the date of acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The portion of the difference between fair value and historical cost of individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed attributable to interests acquired by the Company from non-control group stockholders was recorded at fair market value. This resulted in goodwill of approximately $17,207,000. The remaining portion of the difference between fair value and historical cost attributable to interests acquired from control group stockholders, approximately $25,764,000, has been charged to equity as purchase price in excess of predecessor basis. In connection with the purchase of the controlling interest in Hub Partnerships, approximately $10,306,000 has been recorded as a deferred tax benefit utilizing an assumed effective tax rate of 40% representing the tax effect of the purchase price in excess of predecessor basis, with the corresponding credit recorded as an increase to equity. On May 2, 1996, the Company purchased the rights to service the customers of American President Lines Domestic Distribution Services, a division of APL Land Transport Services, Inc., for approximately $8,000,000. The $8,000,000 was financed with $2,000,000 in cash and $6,000,000 in notes. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6% with three equal annual principal payments due beginning May 2, 1997. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting resulting in goodwill of approximately $8,090,000. Results of operations from acquisitions recorded under the purchase method of accounting are included in the Company's financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The purchase price allocations presented are preliminary. 7 The following summarizes the effects of businesses acquired and accounted for as purchases in 1996 as if they had been acquired as of January 1, 1996:

NOTE 5. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128 - Earnings per Share. This statement's objective is to simplify the computation of earnings per share (EPS) to make the U.S. standard for computing EPS more compatible with the EPS standards of other countries and with that of the International Accounting Standards Committee. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the future adoption of this standard to have a material impact, if any, on its financial statements. 9 HUB GROUP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended March 31, 1997, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 REVENUE Revenue totaled $251.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, representing an increase of 414.6% over the comparable period in 1996. Revenue increased 12.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1997, over pro forma revenue for the comparable period in 1996. The 1996 pro forma revenue was impacted significantly by the addition of the revenue reported by American President Lines Domestic Distribution Services ("APLDDS"), a division of APL Land Transport Services, Inc. The business acquired from APLDDS on May 2, 1996, had been experiencing significant decline during 1995 and the first quarter of 1996. This decline had a negative influence on the pro forma revenue growth rate. Despite the declining trend, management believes Hub Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") has successfully transitioned and retained greater than 90% of the APLDDS business that existed on May 2, 1996. Excluding the revenue relating to APLDDS prior to the acquisition on May 2, 1996, Hub City Terminals, Inc. ("Hub Chicago") and the Company's 27 operating partnerships (collectively referred to as "Hub Partnerships"), on a combined basis assuming Hub Chicago had acquired Hub Partnerships on January 1, 1996, experienced a revenue increase of 33.8% in the three months ended March 31, 1997, over the comparable period in 1996. This percentage increase is the result of strong growth in truckload brokerage, logistics and intermodal service offerings. NET REVENUE Net revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 12.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to 11.0% in the same period in 1996. This increase is primarily a reflection of the higher net revenue as a percentage of revenue that is experienced by Hub Partnerships as compared to Hub Chicago due to Hub Chicago's larger proportion of high volume/low margin accounts. SALARIES AND BENEFITS Salaries and benefits increased to $15.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997, from $2.6 million in the same period in 1996. Salaries and benefits as a percentage of revenue increased to 6.1% in the three months ended March 31, 1997, from 5.3% in the same period in 1996. Some administrative services for Hub Chicago were performed by Hub Partnerships for a fee. This fee was reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses prior to March 18, 1996. After the acquisition of Hub Partnerships by Hub Chicago, this fee is eliminated in consolidation and the costs of the aforementioned administrative services are reported as salaries and benefits. This causes salaries and benefits as a percentage of revenue to increase over the prior year. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $6.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997, from $1.0 million in the same period in 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 2.4% in the three months ended March 31, 1997, from 2.0% in the same period in 1996. Despite the elimination in consolidation of the fees between Hub Chicago and Hub Partnerships in 1997, Hub Chicago provided greater leverage on its selling, general and administrative expenses in the first three months of 1996 than did the Company as a whole in the first three months of 1997. 10 DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997, and was negligible in the same period in 1996. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue increased to 0.4% in the three months ended March 31, 1997, from 0.1% in the same period in 1996. The percentage increase is attributable to the amortization of goodwill that was recorded in connection with the purchase of Hub Partnerships and APLDDS. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) Interest expense was $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997, and negligible in the same period in 1996. All of the interest expense in 1996 was incurred subsequent to March 17, 1996. There are three primary components of interest expense. First, the Company assumed or issued $13.2 million of five-year balloon notes in conjunction with the acquisition of Hub Partnerships in March 1996. These notes bear interest at an annual rate of 5.45%. Second, in conjunction with the acquisition of APLDDS in May 1996, the Company issued notes for $6.0 million bearing interest at an annual rate of 6%. Third, the Company has borrowed to purchase tractors as it continues its strategy of starting small drayage operations to service portions of its own business in those areas where enhanced customer service is required. The annual rate of interest on these loans is determined at the time each tractor is purchased at a rate equal to 3% over the two-year Treasury note rate. Interest income was $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997 and negligible during the same period in 1996. MINORITY INTEREST Minority interest was $4.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997 and $0.7 million in the same period in 1996. Minority interest as a percentage of income before minority interest increased to 56.6% in the three months ended March 31, 1997, from 39.1% in the same period in 1996. The lower percentage in 1996 was the result of only having the revenue and expense of Hub Chicago, which is wholly owned by Hub Group, Inc., in the period prior to March 18, 1996. INCOME TAXES Income taxes were $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997 and $0.2 million in the same period in 1996. Other than an insignificant provision for Illinois replacement tax, the Company had no provision for income taxes prior to March 18, 1996, as the Company was a federally non-taxable subchapter S corporation. The Company is providing for income taxes at an effective rate of 40% for all income subsequent to March 17, 1996. PRO FORMA PROVISION FOR ADDITIONAL INCOME TAXES Additional pro forma income taxes were zero in the three months ended March 31, 1997, and $0.2 million in the same period in 1996. Additional pro forma provision for income taxes are shown to provide an assumed effective federal and state income tax rate of 40% of income before taxes for periods prior to March 18, 1996. PRO FORMA NET INCOME Pro forma net income (pro forma only to provide for income taxes) increased to $2.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997, from $0.6 million in the same period in 1996. Pro forma net income as a percentage of revenue decreased to 0.8% in the three months ended March 31, 1997, from 1.3% in the same period in 1996. The decrease is principally attributable to the increase in minority interest in 1997. See "Minority Interest." 11 PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE Pro forma earnings per share (pro forma only to provide for income taxes) increased to $0.33 in the three months ended March 31, 1997, from $0.29 in the same period in 1996. STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (SFAS) NO. 128 In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128 - Earnings per Share. This statement's objective is to simplify the computation of earnings per share (EPS) to make the U.S. standard for computing EPS more compatible with the EPS standards of other countries and with that of the International Accounting Standards Committee. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the future adoption of this standard to have a material impact, if any, on its financial statements. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company maintains a bank line of credit for $5.0 million. The interest rate is set at the bank's discretion at a rate less than or equal to the bank's prime rate. At March 31, 1997, the rate was 7.75%. As of March 31, 1997, the unused and available portion of this credit line was $2.3 million. Although there are no assurances, management believes it can obtain an additional line of credit, if necessary. 12 HUB PARTNERSHIPS UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS (in thousands)
