Hub Group, Inc. Reports Record Third Quarter 2012 Earnings

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Hub Group reported record net income of $18.5 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012, an increase of 14% compared to the third quarter of 2011.  Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2012 was $0.50.   

Hub Group‘s third quarter 2011 pre-tax income included approximately $1.1 million of costs related to the Mode Transportation integration and Hub’s Truck Brokerage restructuring.  Excluding the effects of these costs, non-GAAP earnings per share was $0.46 for the 2011 third quarter (see table below).  Earnings per share increased 9% when compared with the non-GAAP earnings per share in the prior year period. 

The Hub segment’s revenue increased 10% to $619 million.  Third quarter intermodal revenue increased 11% to $444 million.  The increase was primarily attributable to 9% volume growth.  Truck brokerage revenue increased 6% to $88 million this quarter.  Third quarter Unyson Logistics revenue increased 14% to $87 million.  The Hub segment’s operating income was $25.3 million

The Mode segment’s revenue increased 1% to $200 million for the third quarter.  Operating income was $5.0 million

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.
