HUB GROUP, INC.
CONSOLIDATED 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 June 30, 2015 and results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
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, 2014. Results of operations in interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year due partially to seasonality.
NOTE 2. |
Business Segments |
We report two business segments, Hub and Mode, based on the way we manage, evaluate and internally report our business activities.
Hub offers comprehensive intermodal, truck brokerage and logistics services. Our employees operate the freight through a network of operating centers located in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Each operating center is strategically located in a market with a significant concentration of shipping customers and one or more railheads. Hub has full time employees located throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Mode has independent business owners who sell and operate the business throughout North America, as well as sales only agents. Mode also has a company managed operation and corporate offices in Dallas, TX, a temperature protected services division, Temstar, located in Oak Brook, IL and corporate offices in Memphis, TN.
Mode markets and operates its freight transportation services, consisting of intermodal, truck brokerage and logistics, primarily through agents who enter into contractual arrangements with Mode.

NOTE 4. |
Fair Value Measurement |
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and long term debt approximated fair value as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
We consider as cash equivalents all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our cash and temporary investments were with high quality financial institutions in Demand Deposit Accounts.
Restricted investments, as of June 30, 2015 of $22.2 million and December 31, 2014 of $21.9 million included mutual funds which are reported at fair value.
The fair value measurement of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets which are defined as “Level 1” of the fair value hierarchy in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification.
NOTE 5. |
Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements |
We have standby letters of credit that expire at various dates in 2015 and 2016. As of June 30, 2015, our letters of credit were $6.1 million.
Our unused and available borrowings under our bank revolving line of credit were $43.9 million as of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2015.
We have entered into various Equipment Notes (“Notes”) for the purchase of tractors and containers. The Notes are secured by the underlying equipment financed in the agreements.

NOTE 6. |
Guarantees |
As a recruiting tool for our owner-operators, we are guaranteeing certain owner-operators’ lease payments for tractors. The guarantees expire at various dates through 2020.
The potential maximum exposure under these lease guarantees was approximately $19.3 million and $27.2 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The potential maximum exposure represents the amount of the remaining lease payments on all outstanding guaranteed leases as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. However, upon default, we have the option to purchase the tractors. We could then sell the tractors and use the proceeds to recover all or a portion of the amounts paid under the guarantees. Alternatively, we can contract with another owner-operator who would assume the lease. There were no material defaults during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 or the year ended December 31, 2014 and no potential material defaults.
We had a liability of approximately $0.2 million as of June 30, 2015 and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2014, representing the fair value for estimated defaults of the guarantees, based on a discounted cash-flow analysis which is included in current and non-current liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are amortizing the amounts over the remaining lives of the respective guarantees.
NOTE 7. |
Commitments and Contingencies |
In March 2015, we entered into an equipment purchase contract for the acquisition of 300 Freightliner tractors. The total purchase price of these tractors, including the warranty, is approximately $43.4 million. We expect to take delivery of the equipment between April and September 2015. As of June 30, 2015, we have received 51 tractors, which we financed with secured fixed rate debt as further discussed in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements. We intend to finance the purchase of the remaining tractors with secured fixed rate debt.

Legal Matters |
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, Comtrak Logistics, Inc., now known as Hub Group Trucking, Inc. Mr. Robles drove a truck for Hub Group Trucking in California, first as an independent contractor and then as an employee. The action brought on behalf of a class comprised of present and former California-based truck drivers for Hub Group Trucking who were classified as independent contractors, from January 2009 to the present. The complaint alleges Hub Group Trucking has misclassified such drivers as independent contractors and that such drivers were employees. The complaint asserts various violations of the California Labor Code and claims that Hub Group Trucking has engaged in unfair competition practices. The complaint seeks, among other things, declaratory and injunctive relief, compensatory 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. In August 2013, the district court stayed proceedings in the case pending decisions by the Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit to decide whether the claims in two cases raising some similar claims should be dismissed on federal preemption grounds. In July 2014, the Court of Appeals ruled that the claims in those cases were not preempted.
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, Hub Group Trucking decided to make settlement offers to individual drivers with respect to the claims alleged in this lawsuit, without admitting liability. As of July 28, 2015, 93% of the California drivers have accepted the settlement offers. In late 2014, Hub Group Trucking decided to convert its model from independent contractors to employee drivers.
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.
On September 12, 2014, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Eastern Division) by Christian Lubinski against Hub Group Trucking. The action is brought on behalf of a class comprised of present and former owner-operators providing delivery services in Illinois for Hub Group Trucking. The complaint alleges Hub Group Trucking has misclassified such drivers as independent contractors and that such drivers are employees. The complaint alleges that Hub Group Trucking has made illegal deductions from the drivers’ pay and has failed to properly compensate the drivers for all hours worked, reimburse business expenses, pay employment taxes, and provide workers’ compensation and other employment benefits. The complaint asserts various violations of the Illinois Wage Payment and Collections Act and claims that Hub Group Trucking has been unjustly enriched. The complaint seeks, among other things, monetary damages for the relevant statutory period and attorneys’ fees. On October 24, 2014, the Lubinski case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee (Western Division), in Memphis. The parties are currently awaiting the judge’s ruling on Hub Group Trucking’s motion to dismiss.
We cannot reasonably estimate at this time the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may arise from the remaining unresolved claims in the Robles and Lubinski lawsuits.
We are a party to other litigation incident to our business, including claims for personal injury and/or property damage, bankruptcy preference claims, and claims regarding freight lost or damaged in transit, improperly shipped or improperly billed. Some of the lawsuits to which we are party are covered by insurance and are being defended by our insurance carriers. Some of the lawsuits are not covered by insurance and we defend those ourselves. We do not believe that the outcome of this litigation will have a materially adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

New Pronouncements |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Update No. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This Standard provides guidance on how to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For public organizations, the guidance in the update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The update provides two transition methods to the new guidance: a retrospective approach and a modified retrospective approach. Early application is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We plan to adopt this standard as required. We are currently evaluating the transition method and effect this update will have on our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 10. |
Subsequent Events |
In July 2015, we entered into an equipment purchase contract for the acquisition of 1,000 53’containers. We expect the total cost of purchasing the containers to be approximately $10.5 million. We expect to take delivery of the equipment between September and October 2015. We intend to finance the purchase of the containers with secured fixed rate debt.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Hub Group, Inc. (“we”, “us” or “our”) reports two distinct business segments, Hub and Mode. The Mode segment includes only the business we acquired on April 1, 2011. The Hub segment includes all businesses other than Mode. Hub Group (as opposed to just Hub), refers to the consolidated results for the whole company, including both the Mode and Hub segments. For the segment financial results, refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
We are one of the largest intermodal marketing companies (“IMC”) in the United States and a full service transportation provider offering intermodal, truck brokerage and logistics services. We operate through a nationwide network of operating centers and independent business owners.
As an IMC, we arrange for the movement of our customers’ freight in containers and trailers over long distances. We contract with railroads to provide transportation for the long-haul portion of the shipment and with local trucking companies, known as “drayage companies,” for local pickup and delivery. As part of the intermodal services, we negotiate rail and drayage rates, electronically track shipments in transit, consolidate billing and handle claims for freight loss or damage on behalf of our customers.
As of June 30, 2015, approximately 62% of Hub’s drayage needs were met by our subsidiary, Hub Group Trucking, Inc., which assists us in providing reliable, cost effective intermodal services to our customers. Hub Group Trucking has terminals in Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Chattanooga, Chicago, Columbus (OH), Dallas, Hammond (IN), Harrisburg, Huntsville, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Kalamazoo, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Memphis, Nashville, Newark, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Portland (OR), Salt Lake City, Savannah, Seattle, St. Louis and Stockton. As of June 30, 2015, Hub Group Trucking leased or owned 1,190 tractors, leased or owned 448 trailers, employed 1,054 drivers and contracted with 1,670 owner-operators for their services and equipment.
We also arrange for the transportation of freight by truck, providing customers with another option for their transportation needs. We match the customers’ needs with carriers’ capacity to provide the most effective service and price combinations. As part of our truck brokerage services, we negotiate rates, track shipments in transit and handle claims for freight loss or damage on behalf of our customers.
Our logistics service consists of complex transportation management services, including load consolidation, mode optimization and carrier management. These service offerings are designed to take advantage of the increasing trend for shippers to outsource all or a greater portion of their transportation needs.
Hub has full time marketing representatives throughout North America who service local, regional and national accounts. We believe that fostering long-term customer relationships is critical to our success and allows us to better understand our customers’ needs and specifically tailor our transportation services to them.
Hub’s yield management group works with pricing and operations to enhance Hub’s customer margins. We are working on margin enhancement projects including matching up inbound and outbound loads, reducing empty miles, improving our recovery of accessorial costs, reducing our drayage costs, and reviewing and improving low contribution freight.
Hub’s top 50 customers represent approximately 62% of the Hub segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015. We use various performance indicators to manage our business. We closely monitor margin and gains and losses for our top 50 customers. We also evaluate on-time performance, cost per load and daily sales outstanding by customer account. Vendor cost changes and vendor service issues are also monitored closely.
Mode has approximately 212 agents, consisting of 104 sales/operating agents, known as Independent Business Owners (“IBOs”), who sell and operate the business throughout North America and 108 sales only agents. Mode also has a company managed operation and corporate offices in Dallas, a temperature protected services division, Temstar, located in Oak Brook, IL and corporate offices in Memphis. Mode’s top 20 customers represent approximately 35% of the Mode segment revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015. We closely monitor revenue and margin for these customers. We believe Mode brings us highly complementary service offerings, more scale and a talented sales channel that allows us to better reach small and midsize customers.

Revenue
Hub Group’s revenue increased 0.6% to $ 899.5 million in 2015 from $893.9 million in 2014.
The Hub segment revenue increased 0.6% to $686.5 million. Intermodal revenue increased 2% to $464.9 million. Intermodal volume was up 6%. Price and mix were also up. These increases were partially offset by a decline for fuel. Truck brokerage revenue increased 8% to $93.1 million. Truck brokerage handled 14% more loads and fuel, mix and price combined were down 6%. Logistics revenue decreased 8% to $128.5 million due to losing a customer in May and one customer taking a portion of its business in house.
Mode’s revenue increased 1.0% to $233.8 million in 2015 from $231.5 million in 2014. Mode’s intermodal revenue increased 4% primarily due to an 8.5% increase in loads which was partially offset by a decline for fuel revenue. Mode’s truck brokerage revenue decreased 4% primarily due to a decrease in revenue per load that was driven by lower fuel. Mode’s logistics revenue increased 6%.

Transportation Costs
Hub Group’s transportation costs increased 0.3% to $797.8 million in 2015 from $795.3 million in 2014. Transportation costs in 2015 consisted of purchased transportation costs of $699.6 million and equipment and driver related costs of $98.2 million compared to 2014 costs of purchased transportation of $688.7 million and equipment and driver related costs of $106.6 million.
The Hub segment transportation costs increased 0.5% to $614.3 million in 2015 from $611.4 million in 2014. Hub segment transportation costs in 2015 included $516.8 million in purchased transportation up from $505.9 million in 2014. The 2% increase in purchased transportation costs was due primarily to an increase in rail costs, higher volumes, an increase in purchased drayage services and 1.4 days worse utilization partially offset by a decrease in fuel costs. Equipment and driver related costs decreased 8% to $97.5 million in 2015 from $105.5 million in 2014 due primarily to a decrease in fuel costs and a decrease in driver count.
The Mode segment transportation costs increased 0.3% to $204.3 million in 2015 from $203.7 million in 2014. Mode segment transportation costs are primarily purchased transportation costs which increased due primarily to higher volume in all three business lines, partially offset by lower fuel costs.
Gross Margin
Hub Group’s gross margin increased 3.2% to $101.7 million in 2015 from $98.6 million in 2014. Hub Group’s gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 11.3% as compared to last year’s 11.0% margin.
The Hub segment gross margin increased 2.1% to $72.2 million. The Hub segment margin increase of $1.5 million resulted from an increase in intermodal and truck brokerage gross margins partially offset by a decrease in logistics gross margin. Intermodal gross margin increased because of a 6% increase in loads, price increases and more favorable mix. Truck brokerage margin increased as a result of growth with targeted customer accounts including some seasonal business. Logistics margin decreased due to loss of business. As a percentage of revenue, the Hub segment gross margin increased to 10.5% in 2015 from 10.4% in 2014. Intermodal gross margin as a percentage of sales declined 10 basis points because of the increased operational costs associated with worse utilization of 1.4 days and a slight deterioration in loaded miles. Truck brokerage gross margin as a percentage of sales was up 60 basis points due to more value added services, price increases and better purchasing. Logistics gross margin as a percentage of sales was up 40 basis points due mostly to purchasing more cost effectively.
Mode’s gross margin increased to $29.6 million in 2015 from $27.9 million in 2014 due to margin growth in all three service lines. Mode’s gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 12.6% in 2015 from 12.0% in 2014 due primarily to a 75 basis point improvement in intermodal yield and a 60 basis point improvement in truck brokerage yield.

Salaries and Benefits
Hub Group’s salaries and benefits increased to $38.8 million in 2015 from $35.6 million in 2014. As a percentage of revenue, Hub Group’s salaries and benefits increased to 4.3% in 2015 from 4.0% in 2014.
The Hub segment salaries and benefits increase of $3.2 million was due to an increase in salary expense of $2.1 million related to annual employee raises and a higher headcount. Commissions expense, employee bonuses, and employee benefits each increased $0.3 million and payroll taxes are up $0.2 million.
Mode’s salaries and benefits expense remained consistent at $3.5 million in both 2015 and 2014.
Hub Group’s headcount as of June 30, 2015 was 1,575, which excludes drivers, as driver costs are included in transportation costs. As of June 30, 2015, Mode had 118 employees.
Agent Fees and Commissions
Hub Group’s agent fees and commissions increased to $16.7 million in 2015 from $15.5 million in 2014. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses increased to 1.9% in 2015 from 1.7% in 2014.
The Mode segment agent fees and commissions increase of $1.1 million was due primarily to the increase in Mode’s gross margin.
General and Administrative
Hub Group’s general and administrative expenses increased to $14.8 million in 2015 from $14.7 million in 2014. These expenses, as a percentage of revenue, remained consistent at 1.6% in both 2015 and 2014.
The Hub segment increase of $0.4 million was due primarily to increases in software maintenance expense of $0.3 million, personal property taxes of $0.3 million and general expenses of $0.1 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in office expense, training expenses and general insurance of $0.1 million each.
Mode’s general and administrative expenses decreased to $1.6 million in 2015 from $1.9 million in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in bad debts expense of $0.2 million and outside service expense of $0.1 million.
Depreciation and Amortization
Hub Group’s depreciation and amortization increased to $2.0 million in 2015 from $1.9 million in 2014. This expense as a percentage of revenue remained constant at 0.2% in both 2015 and 2014.
The Hub segment increase in expense of $0.1 million was related primarily to more depreciation for computer hardware and software.
Mode’s depreciation expense remained consistent at $0.3 million in both 2015 and 2014.
Other Income (Expense)
Total other expense remained consistent at $0.4 million in 2015 and 2014. An increase in interest expense of $0.3 million related to our tractor and container debt was offset by foreign currency translation gains of $0.3 million.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes decreased to $10.6 million in 2015 from $11.8 million in 2014. We provided for income taxes using an effective rate of 36.4% in 2015 and an effective rate of 38.8% in 2014. The 2015 effective tax rate was lower primarily due to income tax changes enacted by the state of Missouri on May 6, 2015. We expect our effective tax rate for the whole year to be approximately 38.0%.
Net Income
Net income decreased to $18.5 million in 2015 from $18.7 million in 2014 due primarily to higher operating expenses in 2015.

Revenue
Hub Group’s revenue remained consistent at $1.7 billion in both 2015 and 2014.
The Hub segment revenue decreased 0.4% to $1.3 billion. Intermodal revenue decreased 1% to $885.9 million primarily due to lower fuel revenue. Intermodal volume increased 3.5% and price and mix were both up. Truck brokerage revenue increased 7% to $182.4 million due to a 9% volume increase partially offset by a 2% decline for price, fuel and mix combined. Logistics revenue decreased 5% to $261.7 million related primarily to the loss of business.
Mode’s revenue increased 1.6% to $447.4 million in 2015 from $440.4 million in 2014. Mode’s intermodal revenue increased 7% primarily due to a 13% increase in volume. Truck brokerage revenue decreased 5% and logistics revenue increased 1%.

Transportation Costs
Hub Group’s transportation costs decreased 0.7% to $1.5 billion in 2015 from $1.6 billion in 2014. Transportation costs in 2015 consisted of purchased transportation costs of $1.3 billion and equipment and driver related costs of $195.1 million compared to 2014 costs of purchased transportation of $1.3 billion and equipment and driver related costs of $207.9 million.
The Hub segment transportation costs remained consistent at $1.2 billion in both 2015 and 2014. Hub segment transportation costs in 2015 included $1.0 billion in purchased transportation up from $994.4 million in 2014. The 1% increase was due primarily to an increase in rail costs, higher volumes, an increase in purchased drayage services and 1.6 days worse utilization, partially offset by a decrease in fuel costs. Equipment and driver related costs decreased 6% to $193.4 million in 2015 from $205.9 million in 2014 due primarily to a decrease in fuel costs and a decrease in driver count.
The Mode segment transportation costs increased 0.9% to $391.9 million in 2015 from $388.3 million in 2014. Mode segment transportation costs are primarily purchased transportation costs which increased due primarily to higher volume in intermodal and truck brokerage, partially offset by lower fuel costs.
Gross Margin
Hub Group’s gross margin increased 1.9% to $190.9 million in 2015 from $187.3 million in 2014.
The Hub segment gross margin increased 0.1% to $135.3 million. Hub’s $0.2 million gross margin increase came from truck brokerage and logistics. Truck brokerage margin increased as a result of growth with targeted customer accounts including some seasonal business. The logistics margin increase was a result of the increased business experienced in the first quarter with existing customers; this growth was offset partially in the second quarter by a margin decline due to a loss of business.
Intermodal margin declined in the first half of 2015 primarily as a result of increased operational costs associated with the West Coast port slow down, rail service issues and our driver model in California changing from independent contractors to employees. The West Coast port situation caused network imbalances and operational inefficiencies
As a percentage of Hub segment revenue, gross margin increased to 10.2% in 2015 from 10.1% in 2014. Logistics gross margin as a percentage of sales increased 100 basis points as a result of purchasing more cost effectively. Truck brokerage gross margin as a percentage of sales increased 80 basis points due to more value added services, price increases and better purchasing. Intermodal gross margin percentage declined 40 basis points because of the increased operational costs noted above.
Mode’s gross margin increased 6.5% to $55.5 million in 2015 from $52.1 million in 2014 due primarily to growth in intermodal margin. Mode’s gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 12.4% in 2015 from 11.8% in 2014.

Salaries and Benefits
Hub Group’s salaries and benefits increased to $78.3 million in 2015 from $72.6 million in 2014. As a percentage of revenue, salaries and benefits increased to 4.5% in 2015 from 4.2% in 2014.
The Hub segment increase of $5.6 million to $70.9 million in 2015 from $65.4 million in 2014 was due to increases in salaries expense of $2.9 million related to merit increases and increased headcount, $0.9 million of severance related to consolidating our Los Angeles customer service office, employee bonuses of $0.6 million, employee benefits and commission expense of $0.5 million each, and payroll taxes of $0.3 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in compensation expense related to restricted stock of $0.2 million.
Mode’s salaries and benefits expense increased to $7.4 million in 2015 from $7.3 million in 2014. The increase was due primarily to an increase in compensation expense related to restricted stock.
Agent Fees and Commissions
Hub Group’s agent fees and commissions expenses increased to $31.5 million in 2015 from $29.2 million in 2014. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses increased to 1.8% in 2015 from 1.7% in 2014.
The Mode segment agent fees and commissions increase of $2.3 million was due primarily to the increase in Mode’s gross margin.
General and Administrative
Hub Group’s general and administrative expenses decreased to $28.8 million in 2015 from $30.1 million in 2014. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses remained consistent at 1.7% in both 2015 and 2014.
The Hub segment decrease in general and administrative expense to $25.4 million in 2015 from $26.6 million in 2014 was due primarily to decreases in professional services expense of $1.4 million, equipment leases and training expenses of $0.2 million each, as well as rent expense and general insurance expense of $0.1 million each. These decreases were partially offset by increases in software maintenance of $0.4 million, personal property taxes of $0.3 million and bank charges of $0.1 million.
Mode’s general and administrative expenses decreased to $3.4 million in 2015 from $3.6 million in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in bad debt expense and professional services expense of $0.1 million each.
Depreciation and Amortization
Hub Group’s depreciation and amortization remained consistent at $3.9 million in both 2015 and 2014. This expense as a percentage of revenue remained constant at 0.2% in both 2015 and 2014.
The Hub segment’s depreciation expense increased to $3.3 million in 2015 from $3.1 million in 2014. This increase of $0.2 million was related primarily to depreciation for computer hardware and software.
Mode’s depreciation decreased to $0.7 million for 2015 as compared to $0.9 million in 2014. The decrease in expense was primarily related to less depreciation related to computer software.
Other Income (Expense)
Total other expense increased to $2.6 million in 2015 from $1.0 million in 2014 due primarily to foreign currency translation losses and the increased interest expense related to our tractor and container debt.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes decreased to $16.9 million in 2015 from $19.7 million in 2014. Our effective rate was 37.1% in 2015 and 39.1% in 2014. The 2015 effective tax rate was lower primarily due to income tax changes enacted by the state of Missouri on May 6, 2015. We expect our effective tax rate for the whole year to be approximately 38.0%.
Net Income
19
Net income decreased to $28.7 million in 2015 from $30.7 million in 2014 due primarily to higher operating expenses in 2015.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first half of 2015, we funded operations, capital expenditures, capital leases, purchase of treasury stock, repayments of debt and stock buy backs related to employee withholding upon vesting of restricted stock through cash flows from operations, cash on hand and proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt. We believe that our cash, cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for at least the next twelve months.
Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $80.4 million, which resulted primarily from income of $28.7 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $24.0 million and a change in operating assets and liabilities of $27.7 million. The $48.8 million increase in cash provided by operating activities for 2015 compared to 2014 was attributed primarily to the timing of customer payments, the use of prepaid taxes and additional accrued expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $23.6 million. Capital expenditures of $23.7 million related primarily to containers of $10.2 million, tractors of $8.7 million, transportation equipment of $1.9 million and the remainder for technology investments. We expect capital expenditures to be between $85 million and $95 million in 2015.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $46.1 million. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities of $22.5 million in 2015 versus 2014 was due primarily to purchasing fewer tractors in 2015 and having nominal purchases related to our corporate headquarters.
The net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $9.8 million, which resulted from the purchase of treasury stock of $13.4 million, repayment of long-term debt of $10.9 million, stock tendered for payments of withholding taxes of $2.9 million and capital lease payments of $1.2 million partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of debt of $18.5 million and excess tax benefits from share-based compensation of $0.1 million.
The net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $18.7 million. The increase in the net cash used in financing activities of $28.5 million in 2015 compared to 2014 was due primarily to an increase in the purchase of treasury shares of $13.4 million and higher repayments of long term debt of $8.4 million as well as a decrease in the proceeds from the issuance of debt of $6.8 million.
We have standby letters of credit that expire at various dates in 2015. As of June 30, 2015, our letters of credit were $6.1 million.
As further discussed in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred additional borrowings of $18.5 million, which require monthly principal and interest payments of $0.3 million through June 2020.
Our unused and available borrowings under our bank revolving line of credit were $43.9 million as of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2015.
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates on our bank line of credit which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Although we conduct business in foreign countries, international operations are not material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Additionally, foreign currency transaction gains and losses were not material to our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Accordingly, we are not currently subject to material foreign currency exchange rate risks from the effects that exchange rate movements of foreign currencies would have on our future costs or on future cash flows we would receive from our foreign investment. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes.
We have both fixed and variable rate debt as described in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Any material increase in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, other than our outstanding letters of credit, we had no outstanding obligations under our bank line of credit arrangement.
20
As of June 30, 2015, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with such evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, there have been no material developments from the legal proceedings disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, except (i) those disclosed in Note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements under “Legal Matters” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015, and (ii) those disclosed in Note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements under “Legal Matters”, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our year ended December 31, 2014.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On October 22, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $75.0 million of our Class A Common Stock. This authorization expires December 31, 2015. We purchased 341,020 shares under this authorization during the six months ended June 30, 2015. There were no shares purchased during the second quarter of 2015.
The following table displays the number of shares purchased during the quarter and the maximum value of shares that may yet be purchased under the plan:
