The Consultant will be entitled to receive a cash bonus of US$1,250,000 (the “Retention Bonus”), payable in a single lump sum within ten (10) business days after the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (including the restated audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025) (the “Form 10-K”), provided that (A) the Form 10-K is filed on or before December 31, 2026, and (B) Heeter, in Heeter’s capacity as Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, has executed any such representations, certifications, acknowledgments, or similar documents in connection with the filing of such Form 10-K as may be required by applicable law, Nasdaq rules, or Securities and Exchange Commission rules or regulations, and/or as reasonably requested by the Company’s independent auditor, in each case, as determined by the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company. Payment of the Retention Bonus is further subject to (I) the Consultant’s continued service through the filing date of the Form 10-K, and (II) the Consultant’s and Heeter’s continued compliance with this Agreement, including the restrictive covenants in Sections 5, 6, and 7; provided that no failure to comply with this Agreement will forfeit, reduce, or delay the Retention Bonus unless (x) the Company has given the Consultant written notice describing the failure in reasonable detail, (y) the failure is a material breach that, if curable, remains uncured thirty (30) days after the Consultant’s receipt of such notice, and (z) the failure has been established by a final, non-appealable determination of a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the conditions set forth above have been satisfied as of the filing date of the Form 10-K, the Retention Bonus shall be fully earned and vested as of such filing date, and the Consultant’s resignation or other voluntary termination of services at any time after such filing date shall not reduce, forfeit, delay, or otherwise adversely affect the Consultant’s right to receive the Retention Bonus. Nothing in this Section 2(d)(3) requires the Consultant or Heeter to execute any representation, certification, acknowledgment, or similar document that he determines in good faith cannot properly be executed, and no such good-faith determination will constitute a breach of this Agreement or Cause under Section 3(b), or reduce, forfeit, or otherwise adversely affect the Consultant’s entitlement to the Retention Bonus. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if: (A) before the end of the Term, the Company terminates the Consultant’s services other than for Cause under Section 3(b), or removes Heeter from, or otherwise deprives him of, the office, role, or capacity in which he would execute the documents described above or (B) at the Consultant’s written request, the Audit Committee makes a good-faith determination that the Retention Bonus was not earned due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Consultant and Heeter, the Consultant shall be entitled to payment of the Retention Bonus, which shall be paid by the Company to the Consultant within ten (10) business days following such termination date or the date of such determination (as applicable). The Audit Committee will make any determination requested under the foregoing clause (B) within thirty (30) days after the Consultant’s written request. If the Audit Committee does not make such determination within that period, the Retention Bonus will be paid within ten (10) business days after the end of that period.”
(iv) A new Section 2(d)(4) is hereby added to the Consulting Agreement, as follows:
“(4) Termination Payment. The Consultant will be entitled to a termination payment (the “Termination Payment”) if, before the end of the Term, (A) the Company terminates the Consultant’s services other than for Cause under Section 3(b) hereof; or (B) the Form 10-K and the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026 (the “Form 10-Q’s”) are filed on or before December 31, 2026 and the Consultant voluntarily terminates his services at any time after such Form 10-K and Form 10-Q’s have been filed (whether such termination occurs before or after December 31, 2026). In addition, the Consultant will be entitled to the Termination Payment if, at Consultant’s written request, the Audit Committee makes a good-faith determination that the Termination Payment was not earned due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Consultant and Heeter. The Audit Committee will make any such determination within thirty (30)
days after the Consultant’s written request. If the Audit Committee does not make such determination within that period, the Termination Payment will be paid within ten (10) business days after the end of that period. The Termination Payment will equal the sum of (i) US$175,000 for each full calendar month remaining in the Term after the calendar month in which the termination date occurs, plus (ii) for the calendar month in which the termination date occurs, US$175,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in that month after the termination date and the denominator of which is the number of days in that month. The Termination Payment will be paid in a single lump sum within ten (10) business days after the termination date (or such earlier date as required by applicable law). Payment of the Termination Payment is subject to the Consultant’s and Heeter’s continued compliance with this Agreement, including the restrictive covenants in Sections 5, 6, and 7; provided that no failure to comply will forfeit, reduce, or delay the Termination Payment unless (x) the Company has given the Consultant written notice describing the failure in reasonable detail, (y) the failure is a material breach that, if curable, remains uncured thirty (30) days after the Consultant’s receipt of such notice, and (z) the failure has been established by a final, non-appealable determination of a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction.”
(v) Section 3(b) of the Consulting Agreement is hereby amended to add the following sentence at the end thereof:
“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, no termination of the Consultant’s services for Cause will be effective unless it has been approved by the Audit Committee.”
(vi) Section 4 of the Consulting Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“4. Obligations of the Company upon Termination. Upon a termination of the Consultant’s service hereunder, the Company shall have no further payment obligations to the Consultant, his agents, or any of their legal representatives, other than for the payment of a lump sum cash amount, payable to the Consultant within ten (10) business days after the termination date (or such earlier date as required by applicable law), equal to the following: (a) to the extent not previously paid, the portion of the Consulting Fee that has accrued through such termination date, (b) to the extent payable upon such termination in accordance with Section 2(d)(3) hereof, the Retention Bonus, (c) to the extent payable upon such termination in accordance with Section 2(d)(4) hereof, the Termination Payment, plus (d) any expense reimbursements accrued and unpaid; provided that nothing in this Section 4 shall limit the Company’s continuing obligations under Section 8(o) or Section 8(n), which survive termination in accordance with their terms.”
(vii) Section 8(o) of the Consulting Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(o) Indemnification and D&O Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Consultant and Heeter from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses) incurred in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed claim, action, suit, arbitration, inquiry, investigation, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory, or investigative (including any investigation or proceeding by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Nasdaq, or any other governmental or self-regulatory authority), arising out of or relating to the Consultant’s or Heeter’s service to the Company, including Heeter’s service as Interim Chief Financial Officer and the preparation, review, certification, or execution of any representations, certifications, financial statements, or filings in connection therewith. In connection with the foregoing, the Consultant and Heeter shall be entitled to select and retain legal counsel of their own choosing (with such selection subject to the Company’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to represent them in connection with any such matter, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of the counsel so selected in the manner set forth herein. The Company shall advance and pay all such reasonable fees, costs, and expenses as and when incurred, within ten (10) business days after the Company’s receipt of an invoice or other written statement therefor; provided, however, that any such advance shall be subject to the Consultant or Heeter (as applicable) providing an undertaking (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company) to repay such advanced amounts if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment that the Consultant or Heeter (as applicable) is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Section 8(o) or applicable law. Consultant and Heeter agree to cooperate with any reasonable request made by the Company or its counsel in connection with any matter for which the Consultant or Heeter is entitled to indemnification hereunder. During the Term and for at least six (6) years thereafter, the Company shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering the Consultant and Heeter as insured persons on terms (including limits) no less favorable than the coverage the Company maintains for its other directors and officers written or endorsed on a claims-made basis with a tail of not less than six (6) years for claims first made after the Term arising from acts, errors, or omissions occurring during or prior to the Term. Within fifteen (15) days following the date of this letter agreement, the Company shall confirm to the Consultant in writing that Heeter is a covered insured person under its current directors’ and officers’ liability policy and shall identify the insurer(s), policy period, and applicable limits of liability, and shall provide the policy declarations page or a certificate of insurance upon the Consultant’s reasonable request. Notwithstanding Section 8(h) or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company’s obligations under this Section 8(o) and Section 8(n) are absolute and will not be subject to, or limited by, the limitation on damages set forth in Section 8(h).”
(viii) Section 8(n) of the Consulting Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(n) Reimbursement of Consultant’s Attorneys’ Fees. The Company shall pay or reimburse the reasonable attorneys’ fees and related costs and expenses incurred by the Consultant and/or Heeter in connection with (i) the evaluation, negotiation, documentation, and finalization of this Agreement and any letter agreement or other instrument amending this Agreement, (ii) any future amendment, modification, supplement, or extension of this Agreement, and (iii) any advice regarding the Consultant’s or Heeter’s rights, obligations, or interests under, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement, up to a maximum of US$45,000 in the aggregate, provided that the Consultant’s attorney provides an itemized bill to the Company.”
(ix) A new Section 8(p) is hereby added to the Consulting Agreement, as follows:
“(p) Review of Public Disclosures. The Company will provide the Consultant with not less than three (3) business days’ advance written notice of, and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on, any public disclosure regarding this letter agreement, the Consulting Agreement, or the Consultant’s or Heeter’s role, compensation, or service with the Company (including any Form 8-K, proxy statement, Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, or other SEC filing, and any press release) before it is filed, furnished, or issued; provided that the Company may file, furnish, or issue such disclosure without prior notice or opportunity to comment if required by applicable law or SEC or Nasdaq rules to do so on an expedited basis, in which case the Company shall provide notice to the Consultant as promptly as practicable after filing, furnishing, or issuance.”
(x) Section 8(i) of the Consulting Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(i) Survival. Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement, the agreement to arbitrate in Section 8(h) of this Agreement, and Sections 8(n), 8(o), and 8(p) of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.”
(xi) This amendment does not preclude the Company and the Consultant from discussing, and if mutually agreed entering into, alternative or successor arrangements, including a permanent employment relationship, at any time during or after the Term.

Exhibit 99.1
Hub Group Announces Select Preliminary First and Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
and Provides Update on Restatement Process
OAK BROOK, Ill., September 14, 2026 - Hub Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: HUBG) today announced select preliminary, unaudited financial results for the first and second quarters of 2026 and provided an update on the Company’s previously disclosed accounting review and ongoing restatement process.
David Yeager, Hub Group’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, “Our finance and accounting team remains highly focused on completing the restatement process and becoming current with our financial reporting obligations. At the same time, our broader organization continues to serve our customers, identify growth opportunities, invest in our business and execute against our long-term strategy.”
“We are focused on driving growth, profitability and operating cash flows. Our team is executing a new cost reduction program with actions designed to improve yield and enhance efficiencies, and we look forward to providing more detail on these initiatives when we report our final full year 2025 results and restated financials,” said Phil Yeager, Hub Group’s President and Vice Chairman.
Preliminary First and Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
The preliminary financial results presented below, including comparisons to prior year periods, reflect management’s current estimates based on information available as of the date of this release. These results are unaudited and remain subject to the completion of the restatement of the Company’s previously issued financial statements as well as the Company’s financial closing procedures and the preparation and review of its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for fiscal year 2025 and for the first and second quarters of 2026. Accordingly, the Company’s final results may differ from the preliminary estimates presented below.
Based on preliminary financial results, revenue trends through the first half of 2026 have been near Company expectations, with consolidated operating revenue expected to be in the range of $1.70 billion to $1.80 billion. However, operating results during the first half of 2026 were negatively impacted by increased costs in fuel, rail and drayage, which negatively impacted Intermodal and Transportation Solutions (“ITS”) segment results, while excess capacity in Consolidation and Fulfillment negatively impacted Logistics segment results. Additionally, operating results were negatively impacted by incremental costs related to the accounting review and restatement work. The Company is not providing a range of operating income or loss due to ongoing financial closing procedures but does anticipate reporting an operating loss for the first half of 2026 before the impact of one-time charges.
In addition to its previously communicated cost reduction program, beginning in the second quarter of 2026 the Company initiated a new efficiency program with incremental initiatives focused on yield management across all services, consolidation of warehousing space, productivity enhancements with drivers and warehouse team members, targeted cost reductions and enhanced order to cash processes.
ITS revenue performance benefited from relatively stable volume trends and tightening market capacity conditions during the first half of 2026 that supported over-the-road conversion opportunities and pricing momentum, while segment operating results for the same period were negatively impacted by higher fuel, rail and drayage costs incurred prior to rate increases implemented beginning in the third quarter of 2026.
Logistics revenue performance benefitted from new business for Final Mile, while Managed Transportation experienced modest revenue declines due to lower customer activity in the first half of 2026. Brokerage revenue and volume declined as the Company focused on improving profitability, and Consolidation and Fulfillment revenue was negatively impacted by select customer attrition compared to the prior year period. The Company expects Logistics segment operating results in the first half of 2026 will be negatively impacted by pressures resulting from excess capacity in Consolidation and Fulfillment.
As of June 30, 2026, Hub Group had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $132 million and restricted cash of approximately $28 million. Debt at June 30, 2026 totaled approximately $198 million, which after giving effect to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $132 million, resulted in net debt of approximately $66 million. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are estimated to be approximately $12 million including investments in equipment and technology. In August 2026, the Company borrowed $75 million under its $450 million revolving credit facility.
Full Year 2026 Outlook
For full year 2026, the Company estimates consolidated operating revenue of approximately $3.6 to $3.8 billion and capital expenditures of approximately $40 million to $50 million.
Credit Agreement Amendment
On September 11, 2026, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement. The amendment extends the deadline for delivery to the lenders of the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its unaudited quarterly financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2026 to November 30, 2026. The amendment also provides that costs and expenses incurred on or prior to December 31, 2026 in connection with the accounting review and restatement process may be added back in the calculation of EBITDA for purposes of the Company’s financial covenants.
Restatement and Financial Reporting Update
Hub Group continues to work diligently to complete the restatement of its previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025, and to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which will include results for the year ended December 31, 2025, which have not been previously issued, and restated results for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, as well as its Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026.
The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) granted the Company an exception through September 14, 2026 to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The Company has determined that it needs additional time to complete the restatements and related audits of its financial statements and expects to complete such filings in the fourth quarter of 2026.
As a result, the Company expects to receive a Staff Delisting Determination letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that its Class A common stock will be delisted. Importantly, receipt of this notification will not immediately result in the suspension of trading or delisting of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to appeal the determination within seven calendar days from receipt of any determination. The submission of this request would automatically stay any suspension or
delisting action for 15 calendar days from the date of the request. It is further anticipated that in connection with the request for a hearing, the Company will seek a further stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing process. Hearings are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30 to 45 days after the date of a company’s hearing request. While there can be no assurances, the Company expects that the Company’s Class A common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market during the hearing process. In addition, the Company expects to present to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel a compelling plan to regain full compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and to secure sufficient time to execute such plan.
Preliminary Financial Results
The financial results for the first and second quarters of 2026 contained in this press release are preliminary and unaudited and represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this release. The Company has not completed the restatement of its previously issued financial statements, nor its financial closing procedures for the periods presented, and the preliminary financial results are subject to adjustments that may result from the completion of those procedures, the ongoing restatement process and the preparation and review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The preliminary financial results presented in this release are not a comprehensive statement of the Company’s financial results for the periods presented and should not be viewed as a substitute for complete financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from these preliminary estimates, and additional adjustments may be identified as the Company completes its financial reporting and restatement processes.
