CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Interim Financial Statements

Our accompanying unaudited condensed 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 condensed or 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 at March 31, 2008 and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

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, 2007. Results of operations in interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year due partially to seasonality.

NOTE 3. Debt

We had $47.2 million of unused and available borrowings under our bank revolving line of credit at March 31, 2008. We were in compliance with our debt covenants at March 31, 2008.

We have standby letters of credit that expire from 2008 to 2012. As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding letters of credit were $2.8 million.

NOTE 4. Commitments and Contingencies

In February 2008, we entered into an equipment purchase contract with Singamas Management Services, Ltd. and Singamas North America, Inc. We agreed to purchase 1,000 fifty-three foot dry freight steel domestic containers for approximately $10.0 million. We expect delivery of the 1,000 units during the summer of 2008. We plan to finance these containers with operating leases.

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 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.

NOTE 5. New Pronouncements

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157) effective January 1, 2008 as required. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. There was no cumulative effect recorded upon adoption. At March 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents and restricted investments include $36.0 million of money market funds and $7.5 million of mutual funds, respectively, 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 based on the criteria in SFAS No. 157.

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.

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 subsidiaries, Comtrak Logistics, Inc. (“Comtrak”) and Quality Services, LLC (“QS”) that assist us in providing reliable, cost effective intermodal services to our customers. Our subsidiaries have terminals in Atlanta, Birmingham, Charleston, Charlotte, Chattanooga, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Huntsville, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Memphis, Nashville, Perry, Savannah, St. Louis, Stockton, and Tampa. At March 31, 2008, Comtrak and QS owned 333 tractors, leased 22 tractors, leased or owned 605 trailers and employed 333 drivers and contracted with 921 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.

One of our primary goals is to grow our net income. We achieved this growth through an increase in revenue and margin from our existing transportation customers and winning new customers. Our yield management group works with sales and operations to enhance customer margins. Our top 50 customers’ revenue represents approximately 50.0% of our revenue. During 2007 and 2008, we severed relationships with certain customers, due to profitability issues and credit issues which impeded our intermodal revenue growth.

We use various performance indicators to manage our business. We closely monitor margin and gains and losses for our top 50 customers and loads with negative margins. 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.

Net income		3.1	%		2.9	%

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

Revenue

Revenue increased 8.1% to $425.0 million in 2008 from $393.3 million in 2007. Intermodal revenue increased 5.2% to $302.8 million due primarily to a 3.1% decrease in volume which was offset by an 8.3% increase in revenue, primarily related to fuel. Truck brokerage revenue increased 19.9% to $89.9 million due primarily to an increase in volume, revenue per load from price increases and mix. Logistics revenue increased 6.1% to $32.3 million primarily as a result of adding new customers.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased 1.5% to $57.5 million in 2008 from $56.7 million in 2007. The margin expansion is primarily due to strong growth in truck brokerage and new logistics customers. As a percent of revenue, gross margin decreased to 13.5% in 2008 from 14.4% in 2007. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to a one-time profitable vendor deal in the first quarter of 2007.

Salaries and Benefits

As a percentage of revenue, salaries and benefits decreased to 6.0% in 2008 from 6.5% in 2007. Salaries and benefits decreased slightly to $25.4 million in 2008 from $25.6 million in 2007. The decrease is primarily a result of reducing headcount from 1,106 as of March 31, 2007 to 1,071 as of March 31, 2008. Headcount numbers exclude drivers as driver costs are included in transportation costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased to $10.2 million in 2008 from $11.6 million in 2007. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses decreased to 2.4% in 2008 from 3.0% in 2007. The decrease results primarily from a decrease in spending on consultants of approximately $1.0 million as the 2007 marketing project was completed.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $1.0 million in 2008 from $1.2 million in 2007. This expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 0.2% in 2008 from 0.3% in 2007. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is due primarily to lower computer software depreciation.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income decreased to $0.4 million in 2008 from $0.6 million in 2007. The decrease in interest and dividend income is a result of lower interest rates and investment balances in 2008.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased to $8.3 million in 2008 compared to $7.5 million in 2007. We provided for income taxes using an effective rate of 38.6% in 2008 and an effective rate of 39.6% in the first quarter of 2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily a consequence of tax legislation enacted by the state of Illinois during the third quarter of 2007.

Net Income

Net income increased to $13.1 million in 2008 from $11.4 million in 2007 due primarily to increased revenue and lower expenses for salaries and benefits, lower general and administrative expenses, and lower depreciation and amortization expense.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.35 for 2008 and $0.29 for 2007.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. In certain circumstances, those estimates and assumptions can affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. We do not believe there is a great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported related to the accounting policies described below. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first quarter, we have funded operations, capital expenditures and the earn out payment through cash flows from operations and financing activities.

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was approximately $5.2 million, which resulted primarily from net income of $13.1 million, non-cash charges of $6.1 million partially offset by a decrease in the change in operating assets and liabilities of $14.0 million.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $5.8 million and related primarily to the $5.0 million earn out payment made to the former owner of Comtrak and purchases of property and equipment. We expect capital expenditures to be between $10.0 to $11.0 million in 2008.

The net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1.5 million. We generated $0.3 million of cash from stock options being exercised and used $0.6 million of cash to purchase treasury stock. We also reported $1.8 million of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation as a financing cash in-flow.

We had $47.2 million of unused and available borrowings under our bank revolving line of credit at March 31, 2008. We were in compliance with our debt covenants at March 31, 2008.

We have standby letters of credit that expire from 2008 to 2012. As of March 31, 2008, the outstanding letters of credit were $2.8 million.

The $5.0 million related party payable was paid out during the first quarter of 2008. This amount relates to the 2007 earn out payment due to the former owner of Comtrak. This payment completes the potential earn outs related to the purchase of Comtrak Logistics.

We have authorization to spend up to $75.0 million to purchase common stock through June of 2009. Through the first quarter of 2008, no shares have been repurchased. We may make purchases from time to time as market conditions warrant.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual cash obligations as of March 31, 2008 are minimum rental commitments. Minimum annual rental commitments at March 31, 2008, under non-cancelable operating leases, principally for real estate, containers and equipment are payable as follows (in thousands):


2008	$	14,720
2009		17,877
2010		15,453
2011		13,930
2012		12,297
2013 and thereafter		5,451
	$	79,728

Deferred Compensation

Under our Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), participants can elect to defer certain compensation. Payments under the Plan are due as follows as of March 31, 2008 (in thousands):

2008	$	103
2009		798

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
