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, 2011 and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

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, 2010. 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,
	2011		2010
Net income for basic and diluted earnings per share	$	10,498	$	8,702
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic		36,886		37,527
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock		136		116
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted		37,022		37,643
Earnings per share - basic	$	0.28	$	0.23
Earnings per share - diluted	$	0.28	$	0.23

NOTE 3. Debt

On March 31, 2011, we amended our Credit Agreement which increased our maximum unsecured borrowing capacity from $10.0 million to $50.0 million and extended the term until March 2014. The interest rate under the Credit Agreement is equal to LIBOR plus 1.75%. The financial covenants require a minimum net worth of $300.0 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%.

We have standby letters of credit that expire at various dates in 2011 to 2012. As of March 31, 2011, the outstanding letters of credit totaled $2.6 million.

We had $47.4 million of unused and available borrowings under our bank revolving line of credit as of March 31, 2011. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of March 31, 2011.

6

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 or results of operations.

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, 2011 and December 31, 2010 due to their short-term nature.

Cash and cash equivalents included $128.7 million and $114.6 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, invested in a money market fund comprised of U.S. treasury securities and repurchase agreements for these securities.

Restricted investments included $12.1 million and $11.4 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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. Guarantees

In 2008 the California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved 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. As part of this program, we are guaranteeing certain owner operators’ lease payments for these tractors. The guarantees expire at various dates beginning 2012 thru 2017.

The potential maximum exposure under these lease guarantees was approximately $9.8 million and $6.8 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The potential maximum exposure represents the amount of the remaining lease payments on all outstanding guaranteed leases as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. 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, 2011.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, the liability was approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, for the guarantees representing the fair value of the guarantees based on a discounted cash-flow analysis. We are amortizing the liability over the remaining lives of the respective guarantees.

NOTE 7. 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 in accumulated other comprehensive income. Total comprehensive income was $10.5 million and $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

7

NOTE 8. Subsequent Events

On April 1, 2011 (the “Acquisition Date”) we entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which we acquired all of the capital stock of Exel Transportation Services, Inc. (“ETS”). The purchase price for the ETS stock was $83.4 million before post closing adjustments, which we paid with cash on hand. ETS is now our wholly-owned subsidiary, operating independently and renamed Mode Transportation, LLC (“Mode Transportation”).

Mode Transportation has approximately 300 Independent Business Owners who sell and operate the business throughout North America. Mode Transportation also has a company managed operation in Dallas, a temperature protected services division, Temstar, located in Lombard, IL and corporate offices in Dallas and Memphis. We believe this acquisition brings us highly complementary service offerings, more scale and a talented sales channel that allows us to better reach small and midsize customers.

Due to limitations on access to ETS information prior to the Acquisition Date and the limited time since the Acquisition Date, the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete at this time. As a result, we are unable to provide the amounts recognized as of the Acquisition Date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, pre-acquisition contingencies and goodwill.

We incurred certain due diligence, integration and financing costs associated with the transaction prior to the Acquisition Date that are reflected in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We recorded approximately $1.7 million of these acquisition costs which are included in General and administrative costs in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

On April 8, 2011, we entered into an Equipment Purchase Contract with Singamas Management Services, Ltd. for the acquisition of 1,000 53’ containers. We expect the costs of purchasing the containers to be approximately $13.5 million. We expect to take delivery of the equipment between May and August 2011.

We have considered subsequent events through the date of the filing and there were no other 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.

9

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 Logistics, Inc. (“Comtrak”), which assists us in providing reliable, cost effective intermodal services to our customers. Comtrak has terminals in Atlanta, Birmingham, Charleston, Charlotte, Chattanooga, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus (OH), Dallas, Harrisburg, Huntsville, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Memphis, Nashville, Los Angeles, Perry (FL), Philadelphia, Savannah, St. Louis, Stockton, and Titusville (FL). As of March 31, 2011, Comtrak owned 280 tractors, leased or owned 502 trailers, employed 254 drivers and contracted with 1,500 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 63% of our revenue as of March 31, 2011. 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, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

Revenue

Revenue increased 16.3% to $485.4 million in 2011 from $417.3 million in 2010. Intermodal revenue increased 17.4% to $336.7 million due to a 13% increase in loads, a 7% increase for fuel and a 3% price increase, offset partially by a 6% decrease for mix. Truck brokerage revenue increased 1.3% to $84.7 million due to a 6% increase for fuel and a 4% increase for price and mix, offset partially by a 9% decrease in loads. Our length of haul for truck brokerage was down 5% or 37 miles. Logistics revenue increased 36.3% to $64.0 million related primarily to existing customer growth and new customers who were onboarded in 2010.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased 17.4% to $57.3 million in 2011 from $48.8 million in 2010. This $8.5 million margin increase came primarily from intermodal. Intermodal margin grew since we did more of our own drayage, improved equipment utilization, handled 13% more loads and increased prices. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin increased to 11.8% in 2011 from 11.7% in 2010. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenue was driven primarily by intermodal pricing being up 3%. Logistics gross margin went down 241 basis points due to growth coming from customers for whom we record transportation revenue and costs as opposed to customers from whom we collect a management fee.

Salaries and Benefits

As a percentage of revenue, salaries and benefits decreased to 5.5% in 2011 from 5.6% in 2010 due to increased revenue and improved employee efficiencies. Salaries and benefits increased to $26.8 million in

11

2011 from $23.5 million in 2010 due to increases in salary expense of $1.7 million resulting from increased headcount of 73 employees, sales commission of $0.5 million, employee benefits of $0.4 million and compensation expense related to restricted stock awards of $0.3 million. Headcount as of March 31, 2011 was 1,110, which excludes drivers as driver costs are included in transportation costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased to $12.8 million in 2011 from $10.1 million in 2010. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses increased to 2.6% in 2011 from 2.5% in 2010. Total expenses increased due primarily to deal related costs of $1.7 million associated with the Mode Transportation purchase that closed on April 1, 2011, an increase in information technology consultants of $0.5 million and an increase in independent agent commission expenses of $0.3 million.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased slightly from $1.0 million in 2010 to $0.9 million in 2011. This expense as a percentage of revenue remained constant at 0.2% in both 2011 and 2010.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest and other income increased to $0.2 million in 2011 from $0.08 million in 2010. The increase in other income was primarily due to currency translation gain for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased to $6.5 million in 2011 from $5.6 million in 2010. We provided for income taxes using an effective rate of 38.2% in 2011 and an effective rate of 39.2% in 2010. The 2011 effective rate was lower due primarily to favorable state apportionment and a reduction in non-deductible compensation.

Net Income

Net income increased to $10.5 million in 2011 from $8.7 million in 2010 due primarily to higher gross margin.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share were $0.28 in 2011 and $0.23 in 2010. Basic earnings per share increased due to the increase in net income.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.28 in 2011 and $0.23 in 2010. Diluted earnings per share increased due to the increase in net income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first quarter of 2011, we have funded operations, capital expenditures and stock buy backs related to employee withholding upon vesting of restricted stock through cash flows from operations and cash on hand.

Cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $25.5 million, which resulted primarily from income of $10.5 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $5.1 million and the change in operating assets and liabilities of $9.9 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $4.9 million and related primarily to capital expenditures for containers delivered in 2010. We are acquiring 4,000 53’ containers in 2011 that will be delivered between April and October 2011. We currently expect capital expenditures to

12

be between $45.0 million and $49.0 million for all of 2011. This range includes the purchase of the first 2,000 53’ containers for approximately $24.0 million. We have not yet decided if we will purchase or lease the remaining 2,000 containers. If the containers are purchased, this would increase our capital expenditures by approximately $23.0 million.

The net cash used in financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $0.9 million. We used $1.4 million of cash to purchase treasury stock and reported $0.5 million of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation as a financing cash in-flow.

On March 31, 2011, we amended our Credit Agreement which increased our maximum unsecured borrowing capacity from $10.0 million to $50.0 million and extended the term until March 2014. The interest rate under the Credit Agreement is equal to LIBOR plus 1.75%. The financial covenants require a minimum net worth of $300.0 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%.

We have standby letters of credit that expire at various dates from 2011 to 2012. As of March 31, 2011, the outstanding letters of credit were $2.6 million.

We had $47.4 million of unused and available borrowings under our bank revolving line of credit as of March 31, 2011. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of March 31, 2011.

On April 1, 2011 (the “Acquisition Date”) we entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which we acquired all of the capital stock of Exel Transportation Services, Inc. (“ETS”). The purchase price for the ETS stock was $83.4 million before post closing adjustments, which we paid with cash on hand. ETS is now our wholly-owned subsidiary, operating independently and renamed Mode Transportation, LLC (“Mode Transportation”).

We were authorized to spend up to $30.0 million to purchase common stock through March 2011. There were no shares purchased under this authorization in the first quarter of 2011.

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 twelve months.

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, 2011, 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, 2011. 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 expired March 31, 2011. We purchased no shares under this publicly announced authorization in the first quarter of 2011. We did purchase 41,170 shares for $1.4 million during the first quarter related to employee withholding upon vesting of restricted stock.
