Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements

NOTE 6. Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements

In February 2022, we entered into a five-year, $350 million unsecured credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) the secured overnight financing rate (published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, “SOFR”), plus a specified margin based on the term of such borrowing, plus a specified margin based upon Hub’s total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (the "Total Net Leverage Ratio"), or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the administrative agent's prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% and one-month SOFR) plus a specified margin based upon the Total Net Leverage Ratio. The specified margin for SOFR loans varies from 100.0 to 175.0 basis points per annum. The specified margin for base rate loans varies from 0.0 to 75.0 basis points per annum. Hub must also pay (1) a commitment fee ranging from 10.0 to 25.0 basis points per annum (based upon the Total Net Leverage Ratio) on the aggregate unused commitments and (2) a letter of credit fee ranging from 100.0 to 175.0 basis points per annum (based upon the Total Net Leverage Ratio) on the undrawn amount of letters of credit.

We have standby letters of credit that expire in 2025. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, our letters of credit totaled $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no borrowings under the Credit Agreement and our unused and available borrowings were $349.2 million and $349.1 million, respectively. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

We have entered into various Equipment Notes (“Notes”) for the purchase of tractors, trailers, containers and refrigeration units. The Notes are secured by the underlying equipment financed in the agreements.

Our outstanding Notes are as follows (in thousands):

Quarterly Financial Information Disclosure [Abstract]

Interim Financial Statements

NOTE 1. Interim Financial Statements

Our accompanying unaudited condensed 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 September 30, 2024 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

These unaudited condensed 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, 2023 (the “2023 10-K”). Results of operations in interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year due partially to seasonality.

On January 4, 2024, we announced a two-for-one stock split of our Class A and Class B common stock. The stock split was implemented in the form of a distribution of one additional Class A share for each share outstanding. The record date for the stock split was as of the close of business on January 16, 2024. Our distribution date of the additional shares was January 26, 2024. As a result of the stock split, the number of authorized shares remained unchanged. Additionally, the par value per share of the common stock remains unchanged. All other share amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and related footnote disclosures have been adjusted and presented as though the stock split had occurred as of the earliest period presented.

On February 22, 2024, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend was paid on March 27, 2024 to stockholders of record as of March 8, 2024. On May 23, 2024, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend was paid on June 26, 2024 to stockholders of record as of June 7, 2024. On August 27, 2024, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend was paid on September 25, 2024 to stockholders of record as of September 6, 2024. The declarations and payments of the quarterly cash dividends were subject to the approval of the Board at its sole discretion and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

In October 2023, the Board authorized the purchase of up to $250 million of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to a share repurchase program. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we purchased 824,149 shares for approximately $35 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased 1,591,952 shares for approximately $68 million.

We routinely evaluate the useful life attributed to our assets. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, we determined that the useful lives of certain transportation equipment should be increased to 20 years based on historical experience related to the use of this equipment and our expectation of its future usability. In addition, we changed the estimated salvage values of the transportation equipment to reflect current expectations at the end of the revised useful life. We accounted for these items as changes in estimate that were applied prospectively, effective as of July 1, 2024. These changes in estimate resulted in a reduction of depreciation expense of $5.0 million, an increase to net income of $3.8 million and an increase in both basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.06, during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Due to presentation changes made in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statement of shareholders' equity, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

NOTE 4. Segment Reporting

We have two reportable segments: Intermodal and Transportation Solutions (“ITS”) and Logistics which are based primarily on the services each segment provides. Our ITS segment includes our asset-light business lines: intermodal and dedicated trucking. Our Logistics segment includes our non-asset business lines: managed transportation, truck brokerage, final mile, consolidation, warehousing and fulfillment.

Intermodal and Transportation Solutions. Our ITS segment offers high service, nationwide door-to-door intermodal transportation, providing value, visibility and reliability in both transcontinental and local lanes by combining rail transportation with local trucking. This segment includes our trucking operations which provides our customers with local pickup and delivery (referred to as “drayage”) as well as high service local and regional trucking transportation using equipment dedicated to their needs. We arrange for the movement of our customers’ freight in one of our approximately 50,000 containers. We contract with railroads to provide transportation for the long-haul portion of the shipment between rail terminals. Drayage between origin or destination and rail terminals are provided by our own trucking operations and third parties with whom we contract. Our dedicated service operation offers fleets of equipment and drivers to each customer on a contract basis, as well as the management and infrastructure to operate according to the customer’s high service expectations. As of September 30, 2024, our trucking transportation operation consisted of approximately 2,100 tractors, 3,000 employee drivers and 4,300 trailers. We also contract for services with approximately 400 independent owner-operators.

Logistics. Our Logistics segment offers a wide range of services including transportation management, freight brokerage services, shipment optimization, load consolidation, mode selection, carrier management, load planning and execution, warehousing, fulfillment, cross-docking, consolidation services and final mile delivery. These services include a full range of trucking transportation services, including dry van, expedited, less-than-truckload, refrigerated and flatbed, all of which is provided by third party carriers with whom we contract. We also leverage proprietary technology along with collaborative relationships with third party service providers to deliver cost savings and performance-enhancing supply chain services to our clients. Our transportation management offering also serves as a source of volume for our ITS segment.

The following tables summarize our financial and operating data by segment (in thousands):

NOTE 8. Subsequent Event

In October 2024, we entered into an investment agreement with Corporación Interamericana de Logística, S.A. de C.V. and certain associated entities (commonly known as "EASO"), a family-led, intermodal and trucking logistics provider headquartered in Mexico City to acquire a controlling interest in EASO. We funded the closing consideration of $51.0 million with cash on hand in exchange for a 51% equity stake in EASO.

EASO specializes in intermodal, dedicated trucking, truckload and freight brokerage services. Through a network of terminals across Mexico, EASO serves the entire Mexican domestic market and main logistics hubs in the U.S. using its intermodal cross-border network.

Fair Value Measurement

NOTE 5. Fair Value Measurement

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings was $2.5 million more than the historical carrying value of $287.1 million. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings was $1.4 million less than the historical carrying value of $350.7 million. The fair value of the fixed-rate borrowings was estimated using an income approach based on current interest rates available to us 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our cash and temporary investments were with high quality financial institutions in demand deposit accounts, savings accounts, checking accounts and money market accounts.

Restricted investments included $21.3 million and $20.8 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, of mutual funds which are reported at fair value. These investments relate to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan and insurance deposits.

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, which 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

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

NOTE 3. Acquisitions

Forward Air Final Mile Acquisition

On December 20, 2023, we acquired 100% of the equity interest of Forward Air Final Mile (“FAFM”).

The initial accounting for the final mile acquisition is incomplete as we, with the support of our valuation specialist, are in the process of finalizing the fair market value calculations of the acquired net assets. The amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the final mile acquisition are preliminary pending finalization of the fair market value analyses, and the measurement period remains open.

The final mile 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of December 20, 2023 with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized in the final mile acquisition was primarily attributable to potential expansion and future development of the acquired business.

Tax history and attributes are not inherited in an equity purchase of this kind, however, the goodwill and other intangibles recognized in this purchase will be fully tax deductible over a period of 15 years.
