Quarterly Financial Information Disclosure [Abstract]
Interim 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, 2019 and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. 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, 2018. Results of operations in interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year due partially to seasonality.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisition	NOTE 2. Acquisition On December 3, 2018, a subsidiary of Hub Group, Inc. closed on the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire CaseStack, Inc. (“CaseStack”). Total consideration for the transaction was $252.9 million. To facilitate the acquisition we paid $248.7 million in cash, $3.5 million was a deferred purchase consideration and $0.7 million was a working capital adjustment that was paid in cash in April 2019. The deferred purchase consideration is included in Accrued Other in our consolidated balance sheet and is being paid equally over twenty-four months. The acquisition of CaseStack expanded our logistics service offering to include transportation and warehousing consolidation solutions for consumer packaged goods companies selling into the North American retail channel. The acquisition also added scale to our truck brokerage service offering, particularly in the less-than-truckload segment of the market. The following table summarizes the total purchase price allocated to the net assets acquired (in thousands): Cash paid $ 248,656 Deferred purchase consideration 3,469 Working capital adjustment 733 Total consideration $ 252,858 The initial accounting for the acquisition of CaseStack remains incomplete as we, with the support of our valuation specialist, are still in the process of finalizing the fair market value calculations of the acquired net assets. In addition, the Company is in the preparation and final review process of the applicable future cash flows used in determining the purchase accounting. Finally, certain post-closing activities outlined in the merger agreement need to be completed. As a result, the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements related to the CaseStack merger are preliminary as the measurement period remains open. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the total consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (in thousands): Accounts receivable trade $ 31,917 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 694 Property and equipment 3,247 Deferred tax assets 6,433 Goodwill 165,943 Other intangibles 75,600 Other assets 120 Total assets acquired $ 283,954 Accounts payable trade $ 24,542 Accrued payroll 2,811 Accrued other 3,743 Total liabilities assumed $ 31,096 Total consideration $ 252,858 The CaseStack acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of December 3, 2018 with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized in the CaseStack acquisition was primarily attributable to potential expansion and future development of the acquired business. Tax history and attributes including net operating loss carryovers and other deferred tax assets are inherited in an equity purchase such as this, while goodwill is not tax deductible. The components of “Other intangibles” listed in the above table as of the acquisition date are preliminarily estimated as follows (in thousands): Accumulated Balance at Estimated Useful Amount Amortization March 31, 2019 Life Customer relationships - logistics services $ 65,600 $ 2,187 $ 63,413 10 years Customer relationships - transportation services $ 8,700 $ 580 $ 8,120 5 years Trade name $ 1,300 $ 289 $ 1,011 18 months The above intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method. Amortization expense related to this acquisition for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 was $2.3 million. The intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 9 years. Amortization expense related to CaseStack for the next five years is as follows (in thousands): Total Remainder 2019 $ 6,875 2020 $ 8,661 2021 $ 8,300 2022 $ 8,300 2023 $ 8,155 The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations presents the effects of CaseStack as though it had been acquired as of January 1, 2018 (in thousands, except for per share amounts): Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Revenue $ 898,019 Income from continuing operations $ 13,315 Earnings per share (1) Basic $ 0.40 Diluted $ 0.40 (1) Earnings per share is from continuing operations. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results for the periods shown were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and are based on the historical financial information of Hub and CaseStack. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to the pro forma adjustments that are: (i) directly attributable to the acquisition, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results are not necessarily indicative of what our consolidated results of operations actually would have been had we completed the acquisition on January 1, 2018.

Discontinued Operations And Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	NOTE 3. Discontinued Operations On August 31, 2018, Hub Group, Inc. entered into the Purchase Agreement with Mode, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Mode Purchaser, Inc., an affiliate of York Capital Management (“Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Mode to Purchaser (the “Disposition”). Total consideration received by the Company for the Disposition in the third quarter of 2018 was $238.5 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. An additional $19.4 million consideration receivable was recorded in other receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in the fourth quarter of 2018 due to the settlement of the net working capital and other contractual adjustments. The $19.4 million receivable was received in the first quarter of 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, Mode had revenue of $13.6 million from Hub and Hub had revenue of $10.0 million from Mode. These sales were eliminated on our Consolidated Statements of Income. In connection with the Disposition, the Company and Mode have entered into a transition services agreement pursuant to which both the Company and Mode will provide certain immaterial transition services to the other party for a period of time following the closing. The 2018 results associated with Mode are classified as income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Income from discontinued operations is comprised of the following: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Revenue $ 258,628 Transportation costs 226,876 Gross margin 31,752 Costs and expenses: Salaries and benefits 3,703 General and administrative 21,209 Depreciation and amortization 242 Total costs and expenses 25,154 Operating income from discontinued operations 6,598 Other income Interest income 10 Other, net (5 ) Total other income 5 Income from discontinued operations before income taxes 6,603 Provision for income taxes 1,505 Income from discontinued operations $ 5,098 Selling, general and administrative expenses recorded in discontinued operations include corporate costs incurred directly in support of Mode. Proceeds from the sale of Mode have been presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows under investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Total operating and investing cash flows of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are comprised of the following, which exclude the effect of income taxes: Three Months Ended (in thousands) March 31, 2018 Net cash provided by operating activities 10,774 Net cash used in investing activities (641 )

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contracts with Customers	NOTE 4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers On January 1, 2018, we adopted the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company capitalizes commissions incurred in connection with obtaining a contract. Capitalized commission fees are amortized based on the transfer of services to which the assets relate and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In 2019 and 2018, the amount of commissions that were capitalized and the amortization were both immaterial. Costs incurred to obtain an intermodal, truck brokerage or logistics contract are expensed as incurred according to the practical expedient that allows contract acquisition costs to be recognized immediately if the deferral period is one year or less. Hub offers comprehensive multimodal solutions including intermodal, truck brokerage, logistics and dedicated services. Hub has full time employees located throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. Intermodal. As an intermodal provider, we arrange for the movement of our customers’ freight in containers and trailers, typically over long distances of 750 miles or more. We contract with railroads to provide transportation for the long-haul portion of the shipment between rail terminals. Local pickup and delivery services between origin or destination and rail terminals (referred to as “drayage”) are provided by our HGT subsidiary and third-party local trucking companies. Truck Brokerage. We operate one of the largest truck brokerage operations, providing customers with an over the road service option for their transportation needs. Our brokerage does not operate any trucks; instead we match customers’ needs with carriers’ capacity to provide the most effective service and price combination. We have contracts with a substantial base of carriers allowing us to meet the varied needs of our customers. Logistics . Hub’s logistics business operates under the names Unyson Logistics and CaseStack. Unyson Logistics is comprised of a network of logistics professionals dedicated to developing, implementing and operating customized logistics solutions for customers. Unyson Logistics offers a wide range of transportation management services and technology solutions including shipment optimization, load consolidation, mode selection, carrier management, load planning and execution and web-based shipment visibility. Our multi-modal transportation capabilities include small parcel, heavyweight, expedited, less-than-truckload, truckload, intermodal, railcar and international shipping. Our CaseStack logistics business leverages proprietary technology along with collaborative relationships with retailers and logistics providers to deliver cost savings and performance-enhancing supply chain services to consumer-packaged goods clients. CaseStack contracts with third-party warehouse providers in seven markets across North America to which its customers ship their goods to be stored and eventually consolidated, along with goods from other CaseStack customers, into full truckload shipments destined to major North American retailers. CaseStack offers its customers shipment visibility, transportation cost savings, high service levels and compliance with retailers’ increasingly stringent supply chain requirements. Dedicated Trucking. Our dedicated operation contracts with customers who seek to outsource a portion of their trucking transportation needs. We offer a dedicated fleet of equipment and drivers to each customer, as well as the management and infrastructure to operate according to the customer’s high service expectations. Contracts with customers generally include fixed and variable pricing arrangements and may include charges for early termination which serves to reduce the financial risk we bear with respect to the utilization of our equipment. The following table summarizes our disaggregated revenue by business line (in thousands) for the three months ended March 31: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Intermodal $ 536,032 $ 494,452 Truck brokerage 117,587 120,018 Logistics 203,263 162,476 Dedicated 76,116 60,396 Total revenue $ 932,998 $ 837,342

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	NOTE 6. Fair Value Measurement The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt approximated fair value as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We consider as cash equivalents all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our cash and temporary investments were with high quality financial institutions in demand deposit accounts (DDAs), savings accounts and an interest bearing checking account. Restricted investments, as of March 31, 2019 of $21.1 million and December 31, 2018 of $19.2 million, included mutual funds which are reported at fair value. Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on valuation techniques which consider prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. These valuation methods are based on either quoted market prices (Level 1) or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2), or unobservable inputs (Level 3). Cash and cash equivalents, mutual funds, accounts receivable and accounts payable are defined as “Level 1,” while long-term debt is defined as “Level 2” of the fair value hierarchy in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification.

Our unused and available borrowings were $321.5 million as of March 31, 2019 and $323.0 million as of December 31, 2018.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases, User Charges and Commitments	NOTE 8 . Leases, User Charges and Commitments In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842, Leases, (“ASC 842”) which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a lease obligation for all leases. We adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019, in accordance with the standard. ASC 842 provides an option to apply the transition provisions as of the effective date. We elected this option when we adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented. In addition, we elected to apply a package of practical expedients and as such did not reassess at the date of initial adoption (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, or (3) initial direct costs for existing leases. Lessees can also make an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less which we elected. The adoption of this standard resulted in an initial recognition of $40.0 million of ROU assets and $41.4 million of Lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. The lease liabilities recognized are measured based upon the present value of minimum future payments. The ROU assets are equal to lease liabilities, adjusted for prepaid and accrued rent balances which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2019. Hub currently does not have any variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate). Some leases have options to extend or terminate the agreement, which Management assesses in determining the estimated lease term. If any of the options to extend a lease are exercised, this change will be reflected as a remeasurement of the ROU asset and lease liability accordingly. As of March 31, 2019, the ROU asset and lease liabilities do not reflect any options to extend or terminate a lease as management is not reasonably certain it will exercise any of these options. Also, current leases do not contain any restrictions or covenants imposed by the leases or residual value guarantees. Occasionally, Hub will sublease office space or parking spaces. The subleases do not relieve Hub of any of its primary obligations under the original agreement. Currently, Hub has subleases with an expected annual income totaling $0.5 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, Hub signed new property lease contracts which have not commenced. Based on the present value of the lease payments, the estimated ROU assets and lease liabilities related to these contracts will total approximately $10.2 million. Discount rates are not specified on the individual lease contracts at the commencement date . To determine the present value of the lease payments, Hub used its incremental borrowing rate which was determined based on Hub’s credit standing and factoring in the current 12-month LIBOR rate published at the time of the lease commencement. This incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that Hub would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amounts equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The following table summarizes the lease costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (in thousands), which are included in general and administrative costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of income: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Amortization of finance right-of-use assets $ 589 Interest on finance lease liabilities 74 Finance lease cost 663 Operating lease cost 2,606 Short-term lease cost 26 Sublease income (158 ) Total lease cost $ 3,137 The table below summarizes the Company’s scheduled future minimum lease payments under operating and finance leases, recorded on the sheet, as of March 31, 2019 (in thousands): Operating Leases Finance Leases Less than 1 year $ 8,974 $ 3,212 1-3 years 12,991 4,258 3-5 years 7,837 6 Over 5 years 5,865 - Minimum lease payments 35,667 7,476 Imputed interest 3,188 339 Present value of minimum lease payments 32,479 7,137 Less: current lease liabilities 8,010 2,988 Long-term lease liabilities $ 24,469 $ 4,149 Other information: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 2,374 Financing cash flows from finance leases 740 Operating cash flows from finance leases 74 Cash paid for a lease liabilities $ 3,188 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new financing lease liabilities $ 6 Rights-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities $ 1,302 The weighted average remaining lease term and discount rates as of March 31, 2019 (in thousands) are as follows: Weighted average remaining lease term — finance leases 2.33 years Weighted average remaining lease term — operating leases 5.26 years Discount rate — finance leases 3.87% Discount rate — operating leases 3.37%

Internal-use Software Text Block	NOTE 9. Internal-Use Software In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing (Hosting) Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendment is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for all entities and should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. We early adopted the amendment in the fourth quarter of 2018 and applied prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. In accordance with this ASU, we had capitalized implementation costs of $12.0 million and $10.6 million from our hosting arrangements, net of amortizations, for various corporate software services as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Prior to adoption, these costs were previously presented as part of Property and equipment and are included in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheet subsequent to adoption. The amount of capitalized implementation costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $1.6 million. The corresponding cash flows from capitalized implementation costs incurred in our hosting arrangements is classified as a change in other assets in cash flows from operating activities. The capitalized implementation costs incurred in our hosting arrangements are amortized, once ready for intended use, over the term of the associated hosting arrangements of 3 to 10 years. The related amortization of capitalized implementation costs are classified as general and administrative expense in the same line item as the expense for fees for the associated hosting arrangement.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal Matters	NOTE 10 . Legal Matters We are a defendant in three putative class-action lawsuits in which the plaintiffs are current and former California-based drivers who allege claims for unpaid wages, failure to provide meal and rest periods, and other items. Those cases are Robert Parsons v. Estenson Logistics, LLC, et.al. (Sacramento Superior Court), a second lawsuit Robert Parsons v. Estenson Logistics, LLC (Sacramento Superior Court), and Mario Mendez v. Estenson Logistics, LLC (Los Angeles Superior Court). Because of the preliminary nature of these proceedings, the difficulty in ascertaining the applicable facts, the inconsistent treatment of claims made in the proceedings, and the difficulty of predicting the settlement value of these proceedings, we are not able to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible losses. Based on management's present knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from these pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's overall financial position, operating results, or cash flows after taking into account any existing accruals. However, actual outcomes could be material to the Company's financial position, operating results, or cash flows for any particular period. Robles On January 25, 2013, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California (Sacramento Division) by Salvador Robles against our subsidiary Hub Group Trucking, Inc (“HGT”). The action is brought on behalf of a class comprised of present and former California-based truck drivers for HGT who were classified as independent contractors, from January 2009 to August 2014. It alleges HGT has misclassified such drivers as independent contractors and that such drivers were employees. It asserts various violations of the California Labor Code and claims that HGT has engaged in unfair competition practices. The complaint seeks, among other things, declaratory and injunctive relief, monetary damages and attorney’s fees. In May 2013, the complaint was amended to add similar claims based on Mr. Robles’ status as an employed company driver. These additional claims are only on behalf of Mr. Robles and not a putative class. The Company believes that the California independent contractor truck drivers were properly classified as independent contractors at all times. Nevertheless, because lawsuits are expensive, time-consuming and could interrupt our business operations, HGT decided to make settlement offers to individual drivers with respect to the claims alleged in this lawsuit, without admitting liability. As of September 30, 2018, 96% of the California drivers have accepted the settlement offers. In late 2014, HGT decided to convert its model from independent contractors to employee drivers in California (the “Conversion”). In early 2016, HGT closed its operations in Southern California. On April 3, 2015, the Robles case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee (Western Division) in Memphis. In May 2015, the plaintiffs in the Robles case filed a Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”) which names 334 current and former Hub Group Trucking drivers as “interested putative class members.” In addition to reasserting their existing claims, the SAC includes claims post-Conversion, added two new plaintiffs and seeks a judicial declaration that the settlement agreements are unenforceable. In June 2015, Hub Group Trucking filed a motion to dismiss the SAC and on July 19, 2016, Hub Group Trucking’s motion to dismiss was granted in part, and denied in part, by the District Court. The motion to dismiss was granted for the claims of all purported class members who have signed settlement agreements and on plaintiffs’ claims based on quantum merit and it was denied with respect to federal preemption and choice of law. On August 11, 2016, Plaintiffs filed a motion to clarify whether the Court’s dismissal of the claims of all purported class members who signed settlement agreements was with or without prejudice and, if the dismissal was with prejudice, Plaintiffs moved the Court to revise and reconsider the order. On July 2, 2018, the Court denied the Plaintiffs’ Motion for Clarification or Reconsideration and stated that the dismissal of the claims of all purported class members who signed settlement agreements was with prejudice. Adame On August 5, 2015, the Plaintiffs’ law firm in the Robles case filed a lawsuit in state court in San Bernardino County, California on behalf of 63 named Plaintiffs against Hub Group Trucking and five Company employees. The lawsuit makes claims similar to those being made in Robles and seeks monetary penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act. Of the 63 named Plaintiffs, at least 58 previously accepted the settlement offers referenced above. On October 29, 2015, Defendants filed a notice of removal to move the case from state court in San Bernardino to federal court in the Central District of California. On November 19, 2015, Plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the case back to state court, claiming that the federal court lacks jurisdiction over the case because there is not complete diversity of citizenship between the parties and the amount in controversy threshold is not satisfied. The court granted Plaintiffs’ motion to remand to the state court in San Bernardino County on April 7, 2016. On July 11, 2016, Defendants filed dismissal papers in state court, asking the court to dismiss Plaintiffs’ suit for various reasons, including that the agreement between HGT and its former California owner operators requires that this action be brought in Memphis, Tennessee, or stay the action pending the outcome of Robles. Defendants also asked the court to dismiss the individual defendants because PAGA’s language does not allow for individual liability. During a hearing on October 5, 2016, the judge issued an oral tentative ruling stating that the choice of forum provision was unenforceable. On February 17, 2017, with the stipulation of the parties, the Court entered an order dismissing, without prejudice, all of the individual Defendants and accepting the parties’ agreement that jurisdiction and venue are proper in the San Bernardino Superior Court and that Defendants will not seek to remove the case to federal district court. On April 12, 2017, the Court denied Defendant’s motion to dismiss based on insufficiency of the PAGA letter notice. On October 19, 2017, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, dismissing the previously named individuals as Defendants. On December 4, 2017, Defendants filed an Answer to Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint and a Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of their Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings arguing that judgement should be entered for Defendants because Plaintiffs’ claims are preempted by the Federal Truth-In-Leasing regulations. On January 31, 2018, a hearing was held on the motion to dismiss, and on February 1, 2018, the motion was denied. On March 27, 2018, Defendants filed a petition for a writ of mandate with the Court of Appeals. On June 12, 2018, the Court of Appeals denied the petition. On June 21, 2018, Defendants filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court. On August 8, 2018, the Supreme Court of California denied the petition for review.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Pronouncements	NOTE 1 1 . New Pronouncements In 2016, the FASB issued ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, (“ASC 326”) that requires credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, not based on incurred losses . In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles – Goodwill and other (Topic 350): simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. This ASU simplifies how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We plan to adopt this standard on January 1, 2020, as required. We do not believe the adoption of Topic 350 will have a material effect on our financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under this new standard, companies will no longer be required to value non-employee awards differently from employee awards. This means that companies will value all equity classified awards at their grant-date and forgo revaluing the award after this date. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard was adopted on January 1, 2019 and had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
