Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
The Company’s increased sales and the benefits from its continuing cost reduction efforts more than offset the limited reduction in volume and increased costs that the Company incurred during May 2004 due to a strike by independent truck drivers in Northern California. The Company expects that its diluted earnings per share for the second quarter will exceed the current analysts’ expectations. Hub Group is not updating its guidance on annual earnings per share for 2004 at this time, but plans to do so when it announces earnings for the second quarter.
Statements in this Form 8-K are not historical, including statements about Hub Group’s or management’s intentions, beliefs, expectations, representations, projections, plans or predictions of the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and subject to risks. Such statements should be viewed with caution. Actual results or experience could differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
