OAK BROOK, Ill., Aug. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:HUBG) announced second quarter 2022 net income of $103 million, and diluted earnings per share of $3.03. Net income for second quarter 2021 was $27 million, or $0.78 per diluted share.
“Our team continues to perform at a high level in today’s environment, delivering record revenue and profit as we support our customers with high service levels and innovative supply chain solutions. Our focus on yield improvement and operating efficiency led to record quarterly diluted EPS of $3.03, which is nearly four times the prior year’s diluted EPS. We are honored to once again be named #2 on Inbound Logistics’ Top 10 3PL list for the third consecutive year. As indicated in our revised financial outlook we expect a strong finish to 2022 but acknowledge some level of uncertainty as we look forward to 2023. We continue to remain focused on a disciplined cost and capital structure, while supporting our customers with great service and investing for growth, enabling our success in a variety of market conditions,” said Dave Yeager, Hub Group’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Second Quarter 2022 Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2022 increased by 43% to $1.4 billion compared with $1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2021. Gross margin for the quarter was 17.6% of revenue, as compared with 12.3% last year. Operating income was $138 million (9.8% of revenue) versus $37 million (3.8% of revenue) in 2021. EBITDA (non-GAAP)1 for the quarter was $174 million.
Second quarter Intermodal and Transportation Solutions (“ITS”) revenue increased 41% to $873 million. Intermodal volume increased 1% and revenue per load increased 44%. ITS gross margin increased compared to the prior year as pricing and cost recovery more than offset increased purchased transportation costs.
Truck Brokerage revenue grew 90% in the quarter to $266 million due to the acquisition of Choptank Transport (“Choptank”) as well as revenue growth from truckload and LTL. Gross margin increased relative to second quarter 2021 due to the acquisition and higher revenue per load.
Second quarter Logistics revenue increased 18% to $263 million due to the growth of our managed transportation, final mile and consolidation services. Gross margin increased due to growth with existing customers, new business onboardings and yield management initiatives, partially offset by higher warehousing and transportation costs.
Costs and expenses increased to $109 million in the second quarter of 2022 due to incremental operating costs from Choptank, higher legal and outside services spend, and higher compensation expense, partially offset by higher gains on the sale of equipment as compared to prior year.
Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $55 million. At June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $298 million.
2022 Outlook
We expect our 2022 diluted earnings per share will range from $10.00 to $10.50. We estimate revenue will be $5.6-$5.7 billion, and that gross margin as a percentage of revenue will range from 15.8% to 16.0%. We estimate our costs and expenses will range from $415 to $430 million for the year. We project our effective tax rate for the year will be 24-25%. We expect capital expenditures for 2022 to range from $240 to $250 million.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
In this press release, we present EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure of profitability defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we have provided herein a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to Net Income, the most directly comparable measure under GAAP. Management believes that EBITDA provides relevant and useful information, which is used by our management as well as by many analysts, investors and competitors in our industry. By providing this non-GAAP measure, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company’s profitability for the periods presented. EBITDA should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies.
