NOTE 3. Acquisitions

EASO Transaction

On October 23, 2024, we entered into an investment agreement with Corporación Interamericana de Logística, S.A. de C.V. and certain associated entities (commonly known as “EASO”), a family-led, intermodal and trucking logistics provider headquartered in Mexico City to acquire a controlling interest in EASO. EASO specializes in intermodal, dedicated trucking, truckload and freight brokerage services. Through a network of terminals across Mexico, EASO serves the entire Mexican domestic market and main logistics hubs in the U.S. using its intermodal cross-border network.

The estimated fair value of total consideration transferred was approximately $55 million for a 51% equity stake in EASO. The financial results of EASO, since the date of acquisition, are included in our ITS segment.

The EASO investment transaction expanded our intermodal and transportation solutions business. With a substantial increase in cross-border trade activity from nearshoring, this transaction improves our ability to provide a cross-border service offering and provides increased intermodal conversion opportunities.

The initial accounting for the EASO transaction is incomplete as we, with the support of our valuation specialist, are in the process of finalizing the fair market value calculations of the acquired net assets as well as non-controlling interests. In addition, we are in the preparation and review process of the valuation of certain acquired assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interest used in determining the purchase accounting. Finally, certain post-closing activities outlined in the investment agreement remain incomplete. As a result, the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the EASO transaction are preliminary and the measurement period remains open.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the investment agreement (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred and purchase price allocation.

The EASO transaction was accounted for as a purchase business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” In connection with the transaction, we performed a consolidation analysis concluding that we control all EASO entities through either a majority voting interest or as the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. As a result,100% of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests were recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at their preliminary estimated fair values as of October 23, 2024, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized in the EASO transaction was primarily attributable to potential expansion and future development of the business. This goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Total consideration transferred includes $28.4 million of deferred cash consideration, all or a portion of which may be paid at least two years after the closing date of the transaction. As a result of the restrictions on this deferred consideration in the investment agreement, we have classified the associated cash as Restricted Cash in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of March 31, 2025, the balances of Deferred Consideration and Restricted Cash were both $28.4 million, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Total consideration transferred includes $3.7 million of contingent consideration related to certain operating tax balances existing prior to the transaction for which we have agreed to reimburse the full amount of cash collected within two years of the closing date of the transaction. The estimated fair value of such contingent consideration is based on estimated collectability of such operating tax balances within the agreed timeframe.

Our investment in one of the EASO entities, Corporación Interamericana de Logística, S.A. de C.V. (“CIL”), qualifies as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). Based on the rights provided in the investment and shareholder agreements, as well as the design of the VIE, our majority exposure to the variability associated with economic performance of the VIE, and the relationship and significance of activities of the VIE to us, we determined that we are most closely associated with the VIE and are therefore considered the primary beneficiary.

During a period from 2030 to 2032, Hub will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an amount of issued and outstanding shares of EASO such that, upon exercising this call right, we would own 80% of all of the issued and outstanding shares of EASO at a purchase price based on earnings multiples as defined in the shareholders agreement. We evaluated this call right and concluded that it does not meet the definition of a derivative, resulting in the non-controlling interest and embedded call right being classified as permanent equity.

The components of “Other intangibles” listed in the above table as of the transaction date are preliminarily estimated based on prior acquisitions as follows (in thousands):

The above intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method. Amortization expense related to this transaction for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.9 million. The intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 10.30 years as of March 31, 2025.

Amortization expense related to EASO investment agreement for the next five years is estimated as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 4. Segment Reporting

Our CEO has been identified as our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). We havetwo reportable segments: Intermodal and Transportation Solutions (“ITS”) and Logistics which are based primarily on the services each segment provides. Our ITS segment includes our asset-light business lines: intermodal and dedicated trucking. Our Logistics segment includes our non-asset business lines: managed transportation, truck brokerage, final mile and consolidation and fulfillment services. Our CODM uses operating income by segment to make decisions over the allocation of capital and resources and assess the performance of our segments.

Intermodal and Transportation Solutions. Our ITS segment offers high service, nationwide door-to-door intermodal transportation, providing value, visibility and reliability in both transcontinental and local lanes by combining rail transportation with local trucking. This segment includes our trucking operations which provides our customers with local pickup and delivery (referred to as “drayage”) as well as high service local and regional trucking trans portation using equipment dedicated to their needs. We arrange for the movement of our customers’ freight in one of our approximately 50,000 containers. As of March 31, 2025, we operated trucking terminals at 32 locat ions throughout the United States and Mexico, with locations in many large metropolitan areas. We also contract for services with independent owner-operators who supply their own equipment and operate under our regulatory authority. These assets and contractual services are used to support drayage for our intermodal service offering and to serve our customers who require high service local and regional trucking transportation using equipment dedicated to their needs. We contract with railroads to provide transportation for the long-haul portion of the shipment between rail terminals. Drayage between origin or destination and rail terminals are provided by our own trucking operations and third parties with whom we contract. Our dedicated service operation offers fleets of equipment and drivers to each customer on a contract basis, as well as the management and infrastructure to operate according to the customer’s high service expectations.

NOTE 5. Fair Value Measurement

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate borrowings was $1.9 million higher than the carrying value of $252.1 million. As of December 31, 2024, the $264.4 million carrying value of our fixed-rate borrowings approximated the fair value. The fair value of the fixed-rate borrowings was estimated using an income approach based on current interest rates available to the Company for borrowings on similar terms and maturities.

We consider as cash equivalents all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our cash and temporary investments were with high quality financial institutions in demand deposit accounts, savings accounts, checking accounts, and money market accounts.

Restricted Cash of $28.4 million and $28.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, includes cash held in both deposit accounts and escrow accounts that are not subject to remeasurement on a recurring basis.

Restricted investments included $18.5 million and $21.6 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of mutual funds and other security investments which are reported at fair value. These investments relate to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan and insurance deposits.

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, accounts receivable, accounts payable and mutual funds and related liabilities 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.

NOTE 6. Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements

In February 2022, we entered into afive-year, $350 million unsecured credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i)the secured overnight financing rate (published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, “SOFR”), plus a specified margin based on the term of such borrowing, plus a specified margin based upon Hub’s total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (the "Total Net Leverage Ratio"), or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the administrative agent's prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% andone-month SOFR) plus a specified margin based upon the Total Net Leverage Ratio. The specified margin for SOFR loans varies from 100.0 to 175.0 basis points per annum. The specified margin for base rate loans varies from 0.0 to 75.0 basis points per annum. Hub must also pay (1) a commitment fee ranging from 10.0 to 25.0 basis points per annum (based upon the Total Net Leverage Ratio) on the aggregate unused commitments and (2) a letter of credit fee ranging from 100.0 to 175.0 basis points per annum (based upon the Total Net Leverage Ratio) on the undrawn amount of letters of credit.

We have standby letters of credit that expire in 2025. As of March 31,2025 and December 31, 2024, our letters of credit were $0.7 and $0.8 million, respectively.

NOTE 7. Legal Matters

The Company is involved in certain claims and pending litigation arising from the normal conduct of business, including putative class-action lawsuits involving employment related claims. Based on management's present knowledge, management does not believe that any potential unrecorded loss contingencies arising from these pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect on our overall financial position, operating results, or cash flows after taking into account any existing accruals for settlements or losses determined to be probable and estimable. However, actual outcomes could be material to the Company's financial position, operating results, or cash flows for any particular period.
