HUB GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
NOTE 1. |
Interim Financial Statements |
The accounting and financial reporting policies of Hub Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “Hub”, or “we”, “us” or “our”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and , therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operation and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.
The financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect, in management’s opinion, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring accruals) necessary to fairly present our financial position as of September 30, 2019 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
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, 2018. 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.Acquisition
On December 3, 2018, we acquired CaseStack, Inc. (“CaseStack”). Total consideration for the transaction was $
The acquisition of CaseStack expanded our logistics service offering to include transportation and warehousing consolidation solutions for consumer packaged goods companies selling into the North American retail channel. The acquisition also added scale to our truck brokerage service offering, particularly in the less-than-truckload segment of the market.

The CaseStack acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of December 3, 2018 with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. The goodwill
7
recognized in the CaseStack acquisition was primarily attributable to potential expansion and future development of the acquired business.
Tax history and attributes including net operating loss carryovers and other deferred tax assets are inherited in an equity purchase such as this, while goodwill is not tax deductible.

NOTE 4.Revenue from Contracts with Customers
On January 1, 2018, we adopted the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Company capitalizes commissions incurred in connection with obtaining a contract. Capitalized commission fees are amortized based on the transfer of services to which the assets relate and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In 2019 and 2018, the amount of commissions that were capitalized and the amortization were both immaterial.
Costs incurred to obtain an intermodal, truck brokerage or logistics contract are expensed as incurred according to the practical expedient that allows contract acquisition costs to be recognized immediately if the deferral period is one year or less.
Hub offers comprehensive multimodal solutions including intermodal, truck brokerage, logistics and dedicated services. Hub has full time employees located throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Intermodal. As an intermodal provider, we arrange for the movement of our customers’ freight in containers and trailers, typically over distances of 750 miles or more. We contract with railroads to provide transportation for the long-haul portion of the shipment between rail terminals. Local pickup and delivery services between origin or destination and rail terminals (referred to as “drayage”) are provided by our HGT subsidiary and third-party local trucking companies.
Truck Brokerage. We operate one of the largest truck brokerage operations in the U.S., providing customers with an over the road service option for their transportation needs. Our brokerage does not operate any trucks; instead we match customers’ needs with carriers’ capacity to provide the most effective service and price combination. We have contracts with a substantial base of carriers allowing us to meet the varied needs of our customers.
Logistics. Hub’s logistics business operates under the names Unyson Logistics (“Unyson”) and CaseStack. Unyson is comprised of a network of logistics professionals dedicated to developing, implementing and operating customized logistics solutions for customers. Unyson offers a wide range of transportation management services and technology solutions including shipment optimization, load consolidation, mode selection, carrier management, load planning and execution and web-based shipment visibility. Our multi-modal transportation capabilities include small parcel, heavyweight, expedited, less-than-truckload, truckload, intermodal, railcar and international shipping. Our CaseStack logistics business leverages proprietary technology along with collaborative relationships with retailers and logistics providers to deliver cost savings and performance-enhancing supply chain services to consumer-packaged goods clients. CaseStack contracts with third-party warehouse providers in seven markets across North America to which its customers ship their goods to be stored and eventually consolidated, along with goods from other CaseStack customers, into full truckload shipments destined to major North American retailers. CaseStack offers its customers shipment visibility, transportation cost savings, high service levels and compliance with retailers’ increasingly stringent supply chain requirements.
Dedicated Trucking. Our dedicated operation contracts with customers who seek to outsource a portion of their trucking transportation needs. We offer a dedicated fleet of equipment and drivers to each customer, as well as the management and infrastructure to operate according to the customer’s service expectations. Contracts with customers generally include fixed and variable pricing arrangements and may include charges for early termination which serves to reduce the financial risk we bear with respect to the utilization of our equipment.

Fair Value Measurement |
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate borrowings was $
We consider as cash equivalents all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our cash and temporary investments were with high quality financial institutions in demand deposit accounts (DDAs), savings accounts and an interest bearing checking account.
Restricted investments, as of September 30, 2019 of $
Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on valuation techniques which consider prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. These valuation methods are based on either quoted market prices (Level 1) or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2), or unobservable inputs (Level 3). Cash and cash equivalents, mutual funds, accounts receivable and accounts payable are defined as “Level 1,” while long-term debt is defined as “Level 2” of the fair value hierarchy in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification.

NOTE 8. Leases, User Charges and Commitments
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842, Leases, (“ASC 842”) which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a lease obligation for all leases. We adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019, in accordance with the standard. ASC 842 provides an option to apply the transition provisions as of the effective date. We elected this option when we adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented. In addition, we elected to apply a package of practical expedients and as such did not reassess at the date of initial adoption (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, or (3) initial direct costs for existing leases. Lessees can also make an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less which we elected.
As of September 30, 2019, Hub recognized $
Hub currently does not have any variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate). Some leases have options to extend or terminate the agreement, which Management assesses in determining the estimated lease term. If any of the options to extend a lease are exercised, this change will be reflected as a remeasurement of the ROU asset and lease liability accordingly. As of September 30, 2019, the ROU asset and lease liabilities do not reflect any options to extend or terminate a lease as management is not reasonably certain it will exercise any of these options. Also, current leases do not contain any restrictions or covenants imposed by the leases or residual value guarantees.
Occasionally, Hub will sublease office space or parking spaces. The subleases do not relieve Hub of any of its primary obligations under the original agreement. Currently, Hub has subleases with an expected annual income totaling $
12
As of September 30, 2019, Hub signed new property lease contracts which have not commenced. Based on the present value of the lease payments, the estimated ROU assets and lease liabilities related to these contracts will total approximately $
Discount rates are not specified on the individual lease contracts at the commencement date. To determine the present value of the lease payments, Hub used its incremental borrowing rate which was determined based on Hub’s credit standing and factoring in the current 12-month LIBOR rate published at the time of the lease commencement. This incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that Hub would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amounts equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
The following table summarizes the lease costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (in thousands), which are included in general and administrative costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of income:

NOTE 9. Internal-Use Software
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing (Hosting) Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendment is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for all entities and should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. We early adopted the amendment in the fourth quarter of 2018 and applied prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.
In accordance with this ASU, we had capitalized implementation costs, net of amortization, of $

Legal Matters |
Robles
On January 25, 2013, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California (Sacramento Division) by Salvador Robles against our subsidiary Hub Group Trucking, Inc (“HGT”). The action was brought on behalf of a class comprised of present and former California-based truck drivers for HGT who, from January 2009 to September 2014 were classified as independent contractors. It alleged that HGT misclassified these drivers as independent contractors and that such drivers were employees. It asserted various violations of the California Labor Code and claimed that HGT engaged in unfair competition practices. The complaint sought, among other things, declaratory and injunctive relief, monetary damages and attorney’s fees. In May 2013, the complaint was amended to add similar claims based on Mr. Robles’ status as an employed company driver. These additional claims were only on behalf of Mr. Robles and not a putative class.
Although the Company believes that the California drivers were properly classified as independent contractors at all times because litigation is expensive, time-consuming and could interrupt our business operations, HGT decided to make settlement offers to individual drivers with respect to the claims alleged in this lawsuit, without admitting liability. In late 2014, HGT decided to convert its model from independent contractors to employee drivers in California (the “Conversion”). In early 2016, HGT closed its operations in Southern California.
Adame
On August 5, 2015, a suit was filed in state court in San Bernardino County, California on behalf of
Plaintiffs’ counsel and Hub agreed in principle to settle all claims under both the Robles and Adame matters for $
14
We are involved in certain other claims and pending litigation arising from the normal conduct of business, including putative class-action lawsuits in which the plaintiffs are current and former California-based drivers who allege claims for unpaid wages, failure to provide meal and rest periods, failure to reimburse incurred business expenses and other items. Based on management's present knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from these pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's overall financial position, operating results, or cash flows after taking into account any existing accruals. However, actual outcomes could be material to the Company's financial position, operating results, or cash flows for any particular period.
NOTE 11. New Accounting Pronouncements
In 2016, the FASB issued ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, (“ASC 326”) that requires credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, not based on incurred losses. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 is permitted. We plan to adopt this standard on January 1, 2020, as required. We do not believe the adoption of ASC 326 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as the new guidance is consistent with our current accounting policy in determining expected credit losses on financial assets.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles – Goodwill and other (Topic 350): simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. This ASU simplifies how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We plan to adopt this standard on January 1, 2020, as required. We do not believe the adoption of Topic 350 will have a material effect on our financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under this new standard, companies will no longer be required to value non-employee awards differently from employee awards. This means that companies will value all equity classified awards at their grant-date and forgo revaluing the award after this date. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard was adopted on January 1, 2019 and had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Hub Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “Hub”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a leading, world class supply chain management company that provides value-added multi-modal transportation and logistics solutions by offering reliability, visibility and value to our customers. Our service offerings include comprehensive intermodal, truck brokerage, dedicated trucking, managed transportation, freight consolidation, warehousing, international transportation and other logistics services. The Company is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on March 8, 1995 as successor to a business that was founded in 1971.
As an intermodal provider, we arrange for the movement of our customers’ freight in containers and trailers, typically over distances of 750 miles or more. As of September 30, 2019, we owned or leased approximately 37,800 containers. We contract with railroads to provide transportation for the long-haul portion of the shipment between rail terminals. Local pickup and delivery services between origin or destination and rail terminals (referred to as “drayage”) are provided by our HGT subsidiary and third-party local trucking companies.
We also arrange for the transportation of freight by truck, providing customers with another option for their transportation needs. We match our 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 dedicated service line, Dedicated, contracts with customers looking to outsource a portion of their transportation needs. We offer a dedicated fleet of equipment and drivers, as well as the management and infrastructure to operate according to the customers’ high service expectations. As of September 30, 2019, Dedicated leased or owned approximately 1,300 tractors and 5,200 trailers and employed approximately 1,700 drivers.
Our logistics line of business 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. Our acquisition of CaseStack added consolidation and warehousing services that are marketed to consumer-packaged goods companies who serve the North American retail channel.
As of September 30, 2019, our subsidiary HGT accounted for 58% of Hub’s drayage needs by assisting us in providing reliable, cost effective intermodal services to our customers. As of September 30, 2019, HGT leased or owned approximately 1,300 tractors and 200 trailers, employed approximately 1,300 drivers and contracted with approximately 1,300 owner-operators.
Hub has 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.
Hub’s multimodal solutions group works with pricing, account management and operations to enhance Hub’s customer margins across all lines of business. We are working on margin enhancement projects including revenue management, optimization, matching of inbound and outbound loads, reducing empty miles, improving our recovery of accessorial costs, improving tractor and driver utilization, reducing repositioning costs, driving procurement savings and providing holistic solutions.
Hub’s top 50 customers represent approximately 68% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019. 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, customer service, cost per load and daily sales outstanding by customer account. Vendor cost changes and vendor service issues are also monitored closely.

Strategic Transactions
On August 31, 2018, we sold our Mode Transportation, LLC (“Mode”) subsidiary. Mode’s temperature protected division (“Temstar”) was not included in the transaction and is now included in our intermodal line of business.
Prior to the decision to sell Mode, Hub historically reported two distinct and reportable business segments. As a result of the decision to sell Mode, which was accounted for as discontinued operations in 2018, we have one reporting segment. Revenue and costs related to Hub’s business that were not included in the sale of Mode are reported within results from continuing operations. All revenues and costs related to Mode’s business (other than Temstar) are presented in results from discontinued operations. Unless otherwise stated, the information disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis refers to continuing operations. See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding results from discontinued operations.
On December 3, 2018, we acquired CaseStack. Total consideration for the transaction was $252.9 million consisting of $249.4 million in cash and deferred purchase consideration of $3.5 million. The deferred purchase consideration is included in Accrued Other in our Consolidated Balance Sheet and is being paid equally over twenty-four months.

Revenue
Revenue decreased 2.1% to $913.3 million in 2019 from $933.2 million in 2018. Intermodal revenue decreased 7.4% to $539.5 million primarily due to a 9.4% decrease in volume, partially offset by improved pricing. Volume was down compared to the prior year due to a soft demand environment, increased truckload and intermodal competition, and a 1.0% volume decrease from lane cancellations. Truck brokerage revenue decreased 10.3% to $109.5 million due to a decrease of 24.6% in fuel, price and mix combined, partially offset by a 14.3% increase in volume. Fuel, price, and mix were down primarily due to the addition of CaseStack less than truckload brokerage business. Logistics revenue increased 26.6% to $189.5 million primarily due to the addition of CaseStack, benefits from continuous improvements, revenue management, new service lines, and cross selling to customers. Dedicated’s revenue decreased 4.9% to $74.8 million primarily due to the impact of lost business, partially offset by growth with new accounts.
18
Transportation Costs
Transportation costs decreased 4.9% to $778.1 million in 2019 from $818.2 million in 2018. Transportation costs in 2019 consisted of purchased transportation costs of $615.5 million and equipment and driver related costs of $162.6 million compared to 2018 purchased transportation costs of $658.3 million and equipment and driver related costs of $159.9 million. The 6.5% decrease in purchased transportation costs were due primarily to decreases in intermodal and truck brokerage truckload volumes and improved purchasing partially offset by rail cost increases and increased chassis cost. Equipment and driver related costs increased 1.7% in 2019 due primarily to higher transportation equipment depreciation.
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased 17.6% to $135.2 million in 2019 from $115.0 million in 2018. The margin increase of $20.2 million was the result of the addition of CaseStack, increases in the dedicated and logistics gross margin, partially offset by a decrease in intermodal gross margin. Intermodal gross margin decreased compared to the third quarter of 2018 primarily due to the decline in volumes and rail cost increases, partially offset by the benefits from revenue management, operational improvements, network balance, and improved purchasing. Truck brokerage gross margin increased primarily due to the addition of CaseStack, further benefits from our new operating model and yield management strategy, as well as our new technology platform. Logistics gross margin grew primarily due to the addition of CaseStack, benefits from continuous improvements, revenue management, new service lines and cross selling customers. Dedicated gross margin grew primarily due to revenue management initiatives and improved operational discipline.
As a percentage of revenue, gross margin increased to 14.8% in 2019 from 12.3% in 2018. Intermodal gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased 10 basis points due to improved pricing, partially offset by rail and driver and equipment cost increases. Truck brokerage gross margin as a percentage of revenue improved 520 basis points due to the addition of CaseStack and benefits from our yield management strategy and technology investments. Logistics gross margin as a percentage of revenue improved 680 basis points due to changes in customer mix and the addition of CaseStack. Dedicated gross margin as a percentage of revenue improved 790 basis points due to improved revenue management and operational discipline.
CONSOLIDATED OPERATING EXPENSES
Salaries and Benefits
Salaries and benefits expense increased to $59.8 million from $57.1 million in 2018. As a percentage of revenue, Hub’s salaries and benefits increased to 6.5% in 2019 from 6.1% in 2018. The salaries and benefits increase of $2.7 million is primarily due to the addition of CaseStack employees, partially offset by a decrease of $5.1 million in compensation expense.
Headcount as of September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 2,104 and 1,998 respectively, which excludes drivers, as driver costs are included in transportation costs. The increase in Hub’s headcount is due to the acquisition of CaseStack, which had 292 employees at September 30, 2019.
General and Administrative
Hub’s general and administrative expenses increased to $30.9 million in 2019 from $19.3 million in 2018. These expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 3.4% in 2019 from 2.1% in 2018. The increase was due primarily to the addition of CaseStack, a $4.8 million settlement of a claim first made in 2013 for the alleged misclassification of drivers, $1.6 million lower gain on sale of equipment, $1.5 million of higher technology expenses, the $1.1 million fair value consideration adjustment related to the Dedicated acquisition that decreased general and administrative expenses in 2018 and $0.7 million for a consulting project.
Depreciation and Amortization
Hub’s depreciation and amortization expense increased to $7.3 million in 2019 from $3.8 million in 2018. This expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 0.8% in 2019 from 0.4% in 2018. This increase was related primarily to the addition of amortization of the CaseStack intangible assets.
Other Income (Expense)
Total other expense increased to $2.1 million in 2019 from $1.8 million in 2018 due primarily to an increase in interest expense due to higher interest rates on debt related to equipment purchases.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes increased to $9.0 million in 2019 from $7.2 million in 2018 while we provided for income taxes using an effective rate of 25.7% in 2019 and an effective rate of 21.7% in 2018. The provision for income taxes and the effective tax rate were both higher in 2019 due to the combination of higher state apportionment and tax rates in 2019 as well as the realization in 2018
19
of a deferred tax benefit upon the sale of Mode. We expect our effective tax rate for the entire year of 2019 will range from 25.0% to 26.0%.
Net Income
Net income increased to $26.1 million in 2019 from $25.8 million in 2018 due primarily to increased margin, partially offset by higher operating costs and higher income tax expense.

Revenue
Revenue increased 3.8% to $2.8 billion. Intermodal revenue increased 0.2% to $1.6 billion primarily due to improved pricing, partially offset by a 6.0% decrease in volume due to a soft demand environment, and increased truckload and intermodal competition. Truck brokerage revenue decreased 6.4% to $334.2 million due to a 23.6% decrease in fuel, mix, and price, partially offset by a 17.2% volume increase due to the addition of CaseStack. Logistics revenue increased 22.1% to $586.2 million related primarily to growth with existing customers and the addition of Casestack. Dedicated’s revenue increased 7.4% to $228.6 million due to revenue management and growth with new accounts.
Transportation Costs
Transportation cost increased 0.6% to $2.4 billion in 2019. Transportation costs in 2019 consisted of purchased transportation costs of $1.9 billion and equipment and driver related costs of $471.8 million compared to 2018 purchased transportation costs of $1.9 billion and equipment and driver related costs of $452.1 million. Purchased transportation costs were down slightly for the comparable periods. Equipment and driver related costs increased 4.4% in 2019 due primarily to equipment depreciation expense, an increase in the number of drivers, claims, and wage increases.
20
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased 28.7% to $395.2 million. The $88.2 million gross margin increase was the result of increases in all service lines. Intermodal gross margin increased primarily due to improved pricing and improved network balance. Partially offsetting the intermodal margin growth were higher rail costs, higher driver and equipment costs, and lower volume. Truck brokerage gross margin increased due to a 17.2% increase in volume and the addition of CaseStack and benefits from our yield management strategy and technology. Logistics gross margin increased primarily due to the addition of CaseStack, and growth with existing customers. Dedicated gross margin increased due to revenue management initiatives and improved operational discipline.
As a percentage of revenue, gross margin increased to 14.3% in 2019 from 11.5% in 2018. Intermodal gross margin as a percentage of sales increased 130 basis points due to revenue management, partially offset by rail and driver and equipment cost increases. Truck brokerage gross margin as a percentage of sales was up 380 basis points due to improved purchasing and the addition of CaseStack. Logistics gross margin as a percentage of sales was up 600 basis points due to improved pricing, better purchasing, improved optimization and the addition of CaseStack. Dedicated gross margin as a percentage of revenue improved 580 basis points due to revenue management and operational discipline.
CONSOLIDATED OPERATING EXPENSES
Salaries and Benefits
Salaries and benefits expense increased $19.2 million to $182.7 million in 2019 from $163.5 million in 2018. As a percentage of revenue, Hub’s salaries and benefits increased to 6.6% in 2019 from 6.1% in 2018. The salaries and benefits increase of $19.2 million is primarily due to the addition of CaseStack employees, partially offset by a $3.4 million decrease in bonuses and a $0.7 million decrease in payroll taxes.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense increased to $77.9 million in 2019 from $55.6 million in 2018. These expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased to 2.8% in 2019 from 2.1% in 2018. The 2019 increase was due primarily due to the addition of CaseStack. Increased expenses included $4.8 million for a legal settlement of claims first made in 2013 for the alleged misclassification of drivers, the $4.7 million fair value consideration adjustment related to the Dedicated acquisition that decreased general and administrative expenses in 2018, outside accounting and consulting expenses of $4.8 million, technology and office equipment maintenance expense of $0.9 million, insurance expense of $0.4 million, rent of $0.4 million and $0.2 million increase in bad debt expense, partially offset by a decrease in training expense of $0.5 million.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $21.2 million in 2019 from $11.3 million in 2018. This expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 0.8% in 2019 from 0.4% in 2018. This increase was related primarily to the addition of amortization due to the addition of CaseStack intangible assets.
Other Income (Expense)
Total other expense increased to $7.0 million in 2019 from $6.3 million in 2018 due to higher interest rates on debt related to equipment purchases, partially offset by higher interest income due to higher cash balances.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes increased to $27.4 million in 2019 from $16.4 million in 2018 while the effective tax rate increased to 25.7% from 23.3%. The provision for income taxes increased primarily due to higher pre-tax income in 2019, while the 2019 effective tax rate was higher primarily due to a combination of higher state apportionment and tax rates as well as a tax shortfall related to stock-based compensation realized in 2019, compared to an excess tax benefit realized in 2018.
Net Income
Net income increased to $79.2 million in 2019 from $54.0 million in 2018 due primarily to increased margin, partially offset by higher operating expenses and higher income tax expense in 2019.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the nine months of 2019, we funded operations, capital expenditures, finance leases, repayments of debt, purchases of treasury shares and the purchase of our stock related to employee withholding upon vesting of restricted stock through cash flows from operations, proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and cash on hand. We believe that our cash, cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for at least the next twelve months.
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $128.7 million, which resulted primarily from net income of $79.2 million adjusted for non-cash items of $105.0 million partially offset by the change in operating assets and liabilities of $55.5 million.
Cash provided by operating activities decreased $12.1 million in 2019 versus 2018. The total decrease is due to lower net income of $73.6 million and a negative change in operating assets and liabilities of $66.2 million, partially offset by a change of $122.0 million in non-cash items and $5.7 million of transaction costs related to the disposition of Mode (the “Disposition”).
The decrease in the change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease of $28.5 million in accrued expenses, a decrease in the cash paid for prepaid taxes of $16.5 million, a decrease of $12.7 million due to timing of customer and vendor payments in 2019 versus 2018 and decreases in the cash paid for other assets of $4.9 million and non-current liabilities of $4.6 million. The increase in non-cash charges resulted primarily from the gain on the Disposition of $113.6 million, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $27.5 million, the $4.7 million contingent consideration adjustment and the compensation expense related to stock-based compensation plans of $2.9 million offset by the change in deferred taxes of $26.8 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $27.8 million which included capital expenditures of $55.6 million and cash used in acquisitions of $0.7 million, partially offset by proceeds from the Disposition of discontinued operations of $19.4 million and proceeds from the sale of equipment of $9.1 million. Capital expenditures of $55.6 million related primarily to tractors of $22.8 million, technology investments of $13.9 million, containers of $11.4 million, construction in process of $4.6 million, other transportation equipment of $2.5 million and the remainder for leasehold improvements.
We estimate our capital expenditures will range from $90 million to $95 million for 2019.
The net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $93.2 million. Proceeds from the Disposition were $228.0 million and proceeds from the sale of equipment were $4.0 million. Capital expenditures of $138.8 million related primarily to tractors of $71.6 million, trailers of $24.1 million, containers of $22.8 million, technology investments of $19.8 million, and the remainder was for leasehold improvements.
The net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $72.7 million, which resulted from the repayment of long-term debt of $79.1 million, the purchase of treasury shares of $25.0 million, stock tendered for payments of withholding taxes of $2.9 million and capital lease payments of $2.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of debt of $36.5 million.
22
The increase in net cash used by financing activities of $77.7 million from 2018 to 2019 was primarily due to decreases in the proceeds from the issuance of debt of $82.2 million and increases in the purchase of treasury shares of $25.0 million partially offset by less repayments of long term debt of $28.1 million and stock tendered for payments of withholding taxes of $1.4 million.
In 2019, we expect our cash paid for taxes to be significantly larger than in 2018 due to higher pre-tax income, smaller favorable timing differences related to depreciation, and tax extension payments related to our 2018 sale of Mode. We expect our cash used to pay taxes in 2019 will be slightly greater than our income tax expense because of extension payments related to our 2018 sale of Mode exceeding the benefit of favorable timing differences related to depreciation for 2019.
At September 30, 2019, we are authorized to borrow up to $350 million under a revolving line of credit. We have standby letters of credit that expire at various dates in 2019 and 2020. As of September 30, 2019, our letters of credit were $30.6 million and we had no borrowings under our bank revolving line of credit. Our unused and available borrowings were $319.4 million as of September 30, 2019 and $323.0 as of December 31, 2018. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of September 30, 2019.
|
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. Although we conduct business in foreign countries, international operations are not material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Additionally, foreign currency transaction gains and losses were not material to our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Accordingly, we are not currently subject to material foreign currency exchange rate risks from the effects that exchange rate movements of foreign currencies would have on our future costs or on future cash flows we would receive from our foreign investment. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes.
We have both fixed and variable rate debt as described in Note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Any material increase in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
As of September 30, 2019, we had no borrowings under our bank revolving line of credit and our unused and available borrowings were $319.4 million. As of December 31, 2018, our unused and available borrowings were $323.0 million.
|
Item 4. |
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of September 30, 2019, 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 (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2019.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. On July 1, 2019, we implemented the first phase of a phased implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. We expect the implementation of the ERP system to reduce the number of financial systems across the Company and enhance our internal controls over financial reporting. The implementation has resulted in certain changes to business processes and internal controls over financial reporting. We have taken steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting and will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related controls during future periods.
Except as set forth above, no changes have occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We purchased 626,320 shares under this authorization from the authorization date through September 30, 2019. The approved share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares, and the program may be extended, modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

|
|
23. |
