Interim Financial Statements

NOTE 1. Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hub Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “Hub,” “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 June 30, 2020 and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

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, 2019. Results of operations in interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year due partially to seasonality.

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

NOTE 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Hub offers comprehensive multimodal solutions including intermodal, logistics, truck brokerage 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, typically over long 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 subsidiary Hub Group Trucking, Inc. (“HGT”) and third-party local trucking companies.

Logistics. Hub’s logistics business 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. In 2018, we acquired CaseStack, Inc. (“CaseStack”) which leverages proprietary technology along with collaborative partnerships 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.

Truck Brokerage. Our truck brokerage operation provides customers with an over the road service option for their transportation needs. Our brokerage service 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. 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.

Dedicated. 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 high 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.

The Company capitalizes commissions incurred in connection with obtaining a Dedicated contract. In 2020 and 2019, the amount of commissions that were capitalized and the amortization related to these commissions 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.

The following table summarizes our revenue by business line (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Intermodal	$	460,676	$	542,890	$	955,999	$	1,078,923

NOTE 4. Fair Value Measurement

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate borrowings was $8.5 million and $3.8 million more than the historical carrying value of $258.8 million and $281.6 million, respectively. The fair value of the fixed-rate borrowings was estimated using an income approach based on current interest rates available to the Company for borrowings on similar terms and maturities.

We consider as cash equivalents all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our cash is with high quality financial institutions in demand deposit accounts, savings accounts and an interest bearing checking account.

Restricted investments included $21.0 million and $22.6 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, of mutual funds which are reported at fair value.

Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on valuation techniques that 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.

- Definition

Credit Loss [Abstract]

Allowance for Credit Losses

NOTE 5. Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326), which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”). The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is

applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable generally accepted accounting principles. The impact of adopting the standard was immaterial. In accordance with the standard, trade receivables are reported at amortized cost net of the allowance for credit losses.

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the trade receivables’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the receivables. Trade receivables are charged off against the allowance when we believe the uncollectibility of a receivable balance is confirmed, and the expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Our allowance for credit losses is presented in the allowance for uncollectible trade accounts and is immaterial at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

NOTE 6. Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements

On July 1, 2017, we entered into a $350 million unsecured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that matures on July 1, 2022. In March 2020, we elected to borrow $100 million under the Credit Agreement as a precautionary measure in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We repaid the $100 million in June 2020. At June 30, 2020, we had standby letters of credit that expire at various dates in 2020. As of June 30, 2020, our letters of credit were $32.6 million.

Our unused and available borrowings were $317.4 million as of June 30, 2020 and $318.5 million as of December 31, 2019. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

We have entered into various Equipment Notes (“Notes”) to fund the purchase of tractors, trailers, containers and other equipment. The Notes are secured by the underlying equipment financed with proceeds from the Notes.

NOTE 7. 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 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 converted its model from independent contractors to employee drivers in California. 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 63 named Plaintiffs against Hub Group Trucking and five Company employees. The lawsuit alleges claims similar to those being made in the Robles case and seeks monetary penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act.

The plaintiffs’ counsel and Hub agreed in principle to settle all claims under both the Robles and Adame matters for $4.8 million, which was recorded in the third quarter of 2019 and is included in Accrued other on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The settlements are subject to final court approval.

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

NOTE 8. New Accounting Pronouncements

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. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020, as required. The adoption of Topic 350 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement. This standard is effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard requires changes to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for certain Level 3 items and specifies that some of the changes must be applied prospectively, while others should be applied retrospectively. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2020, but it did not have an impact on our financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU clarifies and simplifies accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions for intraperiod tax allocation principles, the methodology for calculating income tax rates in an interim period, and recognition of deferred taxes for outside basis differences in an investment, among other updates. The effective date of this ASU is for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU.
