NOTES TO UNAUDITED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Interim Financial Statements

Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hub Group, Inc. (“we”, “us” or “our”) 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 omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The financial statements reflect, in our opinion, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present our financial position as of March 31, 2010 and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Results of operations in interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year due partially to seasonality.

NOTE 2. Earnings Per Share

The following is a reconciliation of our earnings per share (in thousands, except for per share data):

	Three Months Ended, March 31,
	2010		2009

Net income for basic and diluted earnings per share	$	8,702	$	6,178

Weighted average shares outstanding - basic		37,527		37,321

Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock		116		91

Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted		37,643		37,412

Earnings per share - basic	$	0.23	$	0.17

Earnings per share - diluted	$	0.23	$	0.17

NOTE 3. Debt

We have standby letters of credit that expire at various dates from 2010 to 2012. As of March 31, 2010, the outstanding letters of credit totaled $2.9 million.

We had $7.1 million of unused and available borrowings under our bank revolving line of credit as of March 31, 2010. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of March 31, 2010.

NOTE 4. Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to litigation incident to our business, including claims for freight lost or damaged in-transit freight improperly shipped or improperly billed, property damage and personal injury. Some of the lawsuits to which we are a party are covered by insurance and are being defended by our insurance carriers. Some of the lawsuits are not covered by insurance and we are defending them. Management does not believe that the outcome of this litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

NOTE 5. Fair Value Measurement

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 due to their short-term nature. Cash and cash equivalents included $136.2 million and $123.0 million as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, invested in a money market fund comprised of U.S. treasury securities and repurchase agreements for these securities. Restricted investments included $9.8 million and $9.6 million as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, of mutual funds which are reported at fair value. The fair value measurement of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets which are defined as “Level 1” of the fair value hierarchy in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification.

NOTE 6. Restructuring Charges

In the first quarter of 2010, we did not record any restructuring charges. There were no severance payments remaining to be paid as of March 31, 2010 as remaining payments were made during the quarter.

NOTE 7. New Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance on variable interest entities and consolidation, codified primarily in the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC. This guidance modifies the method for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity as well as the methods permitted for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. In addition, this guidance requires ongoing reassessments of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and enhanced disclosures related to a company’s involvement with a variable interest entity. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2010, as required. The effect of adopting this standard had no impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 8. Guarantees

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved new regulations that require significantly reduced emissions from existing on-road diesel vehicles operating in California. The regulations require older model tractors to be modified to comply with the new regulations. In response to the costs associated with complying with these new emission laws, we developed a guaranty program with a leasing company in 2009. As part of this program, we are guaranteeing certain owner operators’ lease payments for these tractors. The term of the guarantee is through 2012.

The potential maximum exposure under these lease guarantees was approximately $5.5 million and $3.8 million as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The potential maximum exposure represents the amount of the remaining lease payments on all outstanding guaranteed leases as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. However, upon default, we have the option to purchase the tractors. We could then sell the tractors and use the proceeds to recover all or a portion of the amounts paid under the guarantees. Alternatively, we can contract with another owner operator who would assume the lease. There were no material defaults during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

The liability was approximately $0.1 million as of both March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 for the guarantees representing the fair value of the guarantees based on a discounted cash-flow analysis. We are amortizing the amounts over the remaining lives of the respective guarantees.

NOTE 9. Comprehensive Income

Foreign subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at the end of period exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period. Translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Total comprehensive income was $8.7 million and $6.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 10. Subsequent Events

On April 8, 2010, we entered into an Equipment Purchase Contract with Singamas Management Services, Ltd. for the acquisition of 2,000 53' containers. We expect the acquisition costs to be approximately $19.2 million and we expect to take delivery of the equipment from May to August 2010.

We evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There were no subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure except as noted above.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Hub Group, Inc. (“we”, “us” or “our”) is the largest intermodal marketing company (“IMC”) in the United States and a full service transportation provider offering intermodal, truck brokerage and logistics services. We operate through a nationwide network of operating centers.

As an IMC, we arrange for the movement of our customers’ freight in containers and trailers over long distances. We contract with railroads to provide transportation for the long-haul portion of the shipment and with local trucking companies, known as “drayage companies,” for local pickup and delivery. As part of the intermodal services, we negotiate rail and drayage rates, electronically track shipments in transit, consolidate billing and handle claims for freight loss or damage on behalf of our customers.

Our drayage services are provided by our subsidiary, Comtrak, which assists us in providing reliable, cost effective intermodal services to our customers. Comtrak has terminals in Atlanta, Bensalem (Philadelphia), Birmingham, Charleston, Charlotte, Chattanooga, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Harrisburg, Huntsville, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Memphis, Nashville, Ontario (Los Angeles), Perry, Saint Louis, Savannah, Stockton, and Tampa. As of March 31, 2010, Comtrak owned 281 tractors, leased 20 tractors, leased or owned 553 trailers, employed 308 drivers and contracted with 1,045 owner-operators.

We also arrange for the transportation of freight by truck, providing customers with another option for their transportation needs. We match the customers’ needs with carriers’ capacity to provide the most effective service and price combinations. As part of our truck brokerage services, we negotiate rates, track shipments in transit and handle claims for freight loss or damage on behalf of our customers.

Our logistics service consists of complex transportation management services, including load consolidation, mode optimization and carrier management. These service offerings are designed to take advantage of the increasing trend for shippers to outsource all or a greater portion of their transportation needs.

We have full time marketing representatives throughout North America who service local, regional and national accounts. We believe that fostering long-term customer relationships is critical to our success and allows us to better understand our customers’ needs and specifically tailor our transportation services to them.

Our top 50 customers’ revenue represents approximately 62% of our revenue as of March 31, 2010. We use various performance indicators to manage our business. We closely monitor margin and gains and losses for our top 50 customers. We also evaluate on-time performance, costs per load and daily sales outstanding by customer account. Vendor cost changes and vendor service issues are also monitored closely.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

Revenue

Revenue increased 18.7% to $417.3 million in 2010 from $351.7 million in 2009. Intermodal revenue increased 16.8% to $286.7 million due to a 16% increase in volume, a 6% increase for fuel, a 3% price decrease and a 2% decrease for mix. Truck brokerage revenue increased 22.8% to $83.6 million due to a 23% increase in volume and a 7% increase for fuel, offset by a 7% decrease for price and mix. Our length of haul for truck brokerage was down 4% or 30 miles. Logistics revenue increased 23.3% to $47.0 million related to several new customers added in 2009 and an increase in business with existing accounts.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased 8.1% to $48.8 million in 2010 from $45.2 million in 2009. This $3.6 million margin increase came primarily from intermodal and logistics. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin decreased to 11.7% in 2010 from 12.8% in 2009. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue was driven primarily by intermodal pricing being down 3% and an increase in truck brokerage costs resulting from tighter capacity.

Salaries and Benefits

As a percentage of revenue, salaries and benefits decreased to 5.6% in 2010 from 6.6% in 2009 due to increased revenue and improved employee efficiencies. Salaries and benefits increased to $23.5 million in 2010 from $23.2 million in 2009 due primarily to an increase in bonus expense, partially offset by lower severance. Bonuses were $1.3 million higher in the first quarter of 2010 due primarily to the EPS portion of the bonus being accrued in 2010 while no EPS bonus was accrued in 2009. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in salaries related to severance costs of $0.9 million recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Headcount as of March 31, 2010 was 1,037 which excludes drivers as driver costs are included in transportation costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses remained constant at $10.1 million in both 2010 and 2009. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses decreased to 2.5% in 2010 from 2.9% in 2009. Increases in professional fees of $0.8 million and outside sales commissions of $0.2 million were offset by decreases in bad debt expense of $0.8 million and travel and entertainment expenses of $0.2 million.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $1.0 million in 2010 from $1.2 million in 2009. This expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 0.2% in 2010 from 0.3% in 2009. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was due primarily to a change in the salvage value of certain assets in 2009.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest and other income increased to $0.08 million in 2010 from $0.04 million in 2009. The increase in other income was primarily due to the positive effects of currency translation for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased to $5.6 million in 2010 from $4.5 million in 2009. We provided for income taxes using an effective rate of 39.2% in 2010 and an effective rate of 42.3% in 2009. The 2009 effective rate was higher due to income tax law changes enacted in February 2009 by Wisconsin and California.

Net Income

Net income increased to $8.7 million in 2010 from $6.2 million in 2009 due primarily to higher gross margin.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share were $0.23 in 2010 and $0.17 in 2009. Basic earnings per share increased due to the increase in net income.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.23 in 2010 and $0.17 in 2009. Diluted earnings per share increased due to the increase in net income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During 2010, we have funded operations, capital expenditures and stock buy backs through cash flows from operations. We believe that our cash, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

Cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $18.3 million, which resulted primarily from income of $8.7 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $6.4 million and the change in operating assets and liabilities of $3.2 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $0.6 million and related primarily to capital expenditures. We expect capital expenditures to be between $34.0 million and $38.0 million for all of 2010. This range includes the acquisition of the 2000 53’ containers for approximately $19.2 million which are expected to be delivered between May and August 2010. The foregoing estimate of capital expenditures assumes no real property purchases in 2010. We are exploring purchasing property to support our drayage and equipment operations. If we purchase any property, our capital expendutures could be higher than the range specified.

The net cash used in financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $2.8 million. We used $2.9 million of cash to purchase treasury stock and reported $0.1 million of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation as a financing cash in-flow.

On March 3, 2010, we entered into an amendment to our Credit Agreement which reduced our maximum unsecured borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement from $50.0 million to $10.0 million and extended the term of the Credit Agreement until March 2013. The interest rate of the Credit Agreement is equal to LIBOR plus 1.75%. The financial covenants require a minimum net worth of $275.0 million and a cash flow leverage ratio of not more than 2.0 to 1.0. The commitment fee charged on the unused line of credit is 0.375%. The revolving line of credit expires on March 3, 2013. We believe that the $10.0 million in unsecured borrowing capacity more accurately reflects our borrowing needs in the coming years in light of our historical lack of borrowings against the line of credit, significant cash balance and ability to generate cash.

We have standby letters of credit that expire at various dates from 2010 to 2012. As of March 31, 2010, the outstanding letters of credit were $2.9 million.

We had $7.1 million of unused and available borrowings under our bank revolving line of credit as of March 31, 2010. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of March 31, 2010.

We have authorization to spend up to $30.0 million to purchase common stock through March 2011. We purchased 53,800 shares under this authorization in the first quarter of 2010. We may make additional purchases from time to time as market conditions warrant.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates on our bank line of credit which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of March 31, 2010, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2010. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with such evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On February 24, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $30.0 million of our Class A Common Stock. This authorization expires March 31, 2011. We purchased 53,800 shares in the first quarter of 2010. We may make purchases from time to time as market conditions warrant, and any repurchased shares are expected to be held in treasury for future use.

The following table displays the number of shares purchased and the maximum value of shares that may yet be purchased under the plan:

	Total Number of Shares Purchased		Average Price Paid Per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plan		Maximum Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plan (in 000’s)
March 1 to March 31		53,800	$	27.46		53,800	$	28,523
Total		53,800	$	27.46		53,800	$	28,523

This table excludes 53,828 shares we purchased for $1.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 related to employee withholding upon vesting of restricted stock.
