DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hub Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: HUBG) today reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 of $8.7 million. Hub Group's diluted earnings per share was $0.23 for the first quarter of 2010. This represents an increase of 35% compared to last year's first quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.17.
Hub Group's revenue increased 19% to $417 million compared to $352 million in the first quarter of 2009. First quarter intermodal revenue increased 17% to $287 million.

Hub Group generated $18 million of cash flow from operations and ended the quarter with $142 million in cash.
