Exhibit No. 99.1

 

 

Hub Group, Inc. Reports Record Earnings for the Third Quarter

DOWNERS GROVE, IL, October 19, 2005, -- Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) today reported record net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 of $9.6 million. This represents a 23% increase versus third quarter 2004 adjusted net income. The 2004 adjustment excludes early debt extinguishment costs. Hub Group’s diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 is $0.47. This represents an increase of 24% compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 of $0.38.

 

On an as-reported basis, net income for the third quarter of 2005 increased to $9.6 million from $3.6 million in the same quarter last year. As reported diluted earnings per share increased to $0.47 compared to $0.17 during last year's third quarter.

 

Hub’s revenue grew by 10.3% to $399.4 million compared to $362.1 million in the third quarter of 2004. Third quarter intermodal revenue increased 9.0% to $283.5 million. Truckload brokerage revenue increased 21.7% to $68.3 million this quarter. Third quarter logistics revenue increased 4.8% to $35.7 million. Hub Group Distribution Services revenue decreased 0.3% to $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2005.

 

Costs and expenses decreased 1.1% in the third quarter of 2005 to $33.7 million compared to $34.1 million in the third quarter of 2004, reflecting the benefits from the Company's improved operating efficiencies and cost containment programs. Other income increased to $0.4 million in 2005 from an expense of $7.6 million in 2004 due primarily to expenses associated with the extinguishment of the private placement debt during the third quarter of 2004.

 

FULL YEAR 2005

Given the current operating environment, we are comfortable that the earnings for 2005 will be within the analysts’ range of $1.45 to $1.53 per diluted share.

 

A tabular reconciliation of the differences between the adjusted financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 and the Company's financial results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") is contained in the summary financial statements attached to this press release.

 

All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the stock split which occurred in the second quarter of 2005. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
