Insights

Financial Analyst

Hub Group reported mixed Q2 results with declining revenue and EPS, but maintained solid financial position amid challenging market conditions.

Hub Group's Q2 2025 results reveal a $0.42 GAAP EPS and $0.45 adjusted EPS, down slightly from $0.47 in Q2 2024. Revenue declined 8% to $905.6 million, primarily due to lower pricing in intermodal and brokerage segments, despite a 2% growth in intermodal volume.

The company's operating margin held relatively steady at 3.8% (GAAP) or 4.1% (adjusted) compared to 4.0% in the prior year period. This margin resilience amid revenue declines suggests effective cost management, evidenced by a 10% reduction in purchased transportation costs and a 3% decline in legacy headcount.

Hub Group's balance sheet remains exceptionally strong with a net debt/EBITDA ratio of just 0.3x, well below their target range of 0.75-1.25x. This financial flexibility allowed the company to return $29 million to shareholders year-to-date through dividends ($15 million) and share repurchases ($14 million).

The performance across business segments was mixed. The Intermodal and Transportation Solutions segment saw revenue decline to $528 million from $561 million, yet operating income improved slightly to $14.4 million. The Logistics segment experienced a more significant revenue drop to $404 million from $459 million, with adjusted operating income falling to $23 million from $26 million.

Management's 2025 outlook projects full-year EPS between $1.80 and $2.05 with revenue of $3.6-3.8 billion. Capital expenditures are expected to be modest at $40-50 million, indicating disciplined investment amid current market conditions.

The company expressed optimism about the proposed Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern combination, suggesting it could accelerate Hub Group's growth by removing gateway friction, reducing transit times, and creating new market opportunities through single-line service across a transcontinental network.

Highlights:

• GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.42 for the second quarter
• Second quarter revenue of $905.6 million
• Non-GAAP adjusted EPS of $0.45, which excludes adjustments for vendor settlements in the quarter
• Operating income of $34 million or 3.8% of revenue, adjusted operating income (non-GAAP) of $36.9 million or 4.1% of revenue
• Returned $29 million to shareholders year-to-date through dividend payments of $15 million and stock repurchases of $14 million
• Strong balance sheet with net debt/EBITDA LTM (non-GAAP) of 0.3x as of June 30, 2025
• Proposed Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern combination a catalyst for growth
  
  

OAK BROOK, Ill., July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hub Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: HUBG) announced second quarter 2025 net income of $25 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.42. Adjusting for vendor settlement expenses of $2.6 million (pre-tax), second quarter 2025 adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $27.0 million decreased 6.2% from the prior year net income of $29.0 million. Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) of $0.45 per diluted share decreased $0.02 from $0.47 EPS reported in the second quarter of 2024.

“The team continues to navigate this operating environment with a focus on serving customers, improving productivity, and leveraging growth investments. Intermodal margin performance and new customer wins for the Final Mile business reflect success with our approach. Hub Group has made progress with cost-saving initiatives and remains opportunistic with capital deployment as reflected in the announced agreement to acquire certain assets from Marten Intermodal. Although market conditions remain challenging, higher margin and free cash flow performance from cycle trough-to-trough highlight the benefits of our strategy and execution, and we remain optimistic on the long-term growth opportunity,” said Phil Yeager, Hub Group’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman.

Second Quarter 2025 Results

Consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $906 million, an 8% decrease from $986 million reported in the second quarter of 2024. Intermodal volume growth of 2% was offset by lower revenue per unit in intermodal and brokerage, decreased fuel revenue, and sub-seasonal demand across segments.

Purchased transportation and warehousing costs of $656 million were 10% lower than prior year. Salaries and benefits of $143 million were 1% higher than prior year driven by additional warehouse and driver team members and the EASO acquisition. Total legacy headcount, which excludes acquisition employees, drivers and warehouse employees, declined 3% from prior year. Depreciation and amortization of $32 million decreased 14% from prior year. Insurance and claims of $11 million decreased 16% due to lower claims costs in the quarter. General and administrative expenses increased from prior year due to the impact from vendor settlements in the quarter.

GAAP operating income for the second quarter was $34 million or 3.8% of revenue and adjusted operating income (non-GAAP) was $37 million or 4.1% of revenue. Prior year operating income was $39.5 million or 4.0% of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the second quarter was $85 million. Net debt/EBITDA LTM (non-GAAP) was 0.3x for the second quarter, below the leverage target range of 0.75 to 1.25x.

Intermodal and Transportation Solutions (“ITS”) Segment revenue was $528 million in the second quarter, down from $561 million in the prior year due to intermodal mix, price and fuel impacts, along with lower dedicated revenue. ITS operating income was $14.4 million, or 2.7% of revenue, up from $13.6 million in the prior year.

Second quarter Logistics Segment revenue was $404 million, down from $459 million in the prior year due to lower volume and revenue per load in our brokerage business, exiting of unprofitable business in consolidation and fulfilment, and sub-seasonal demand in managed transportation and final mile businesses. GAAP Logistics operating income was $20 million, or 4.9% of revenue. Adjusted Logistics operating income (non-GAAP) was $23 million, or 5.6% of revenue, down from $26 million in the prior year, due to a lower brokerage margin.

Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $11 million and decreased sequentially due to lower tractor fleet investment. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and restricted cash of $164 million. Year-to-date the company returned $29 million to shareholders through dividend payments of $15 million and stock repurchases of $14 million.

Proposed Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern Combination

We are supportive of our rail partners Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern in their announced plan to form America’s first transcontinental railroad. Throughout Hub Group’s history, we have remained committed to serving customers and realizing the potential of intermodal transportation. The announced transaction would further accelerate our long-term growth opportunity. Specifically, a transcontinental network removes friction in gateways, reduces transit times, provides access to new markets, and increases competition with truck volume through new single-line service. We remain focused on executing our strategy and will stay in close communication with our rail partners.

2025 Outlook

We expect 2025 diluted earnings per share will range from $1.80 to $2.05. We estimate revenue of approximately $3.6 billion to $3.8 billion for the full year. We project an effective tax rate of approximately 24.5% and capital expenditures in the range of $40 million to $50 million for the full year.
