In early 2026 the firm told investors it had an accounting problem. Since then it has been rewriting its results for 2024 and 2023. It is redoing the first three quarters of 2025 too.

Three things happened in one day
The first is the listing. Nasdaq gave Hub Group until September 14, 2026 to file the three late reports. The firm says it needs more time. It now expects to file them in the last three months of the year. It also expects Nasdaq to write and say the stock will be delisted. That letter does not stop the shares trading. The firm plans to ask for a hearing within seven days. That freezes any action for 15 days. It expects the shares to keep trading while the appeal runs. [C1] Restatement and Financial Reporting UpdateThe 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 second is the father coming back. On September 13, 2026 the board made David Yeager, 73, chairman and chief executive again. He had handed the job to his son four years earlier.

The third is what catching up costs. The interim finance chief is a consultant. His monthly fee rises to $175,000 on December 1, 2026.

Underneath all that, the lenders blinked first. On September 11, 2026 they pushed the date for the late statements to November 30, 2026. They also agreed that the cost of the accounting mess can be added back when the loan tests are worked out. That keeps the loans onside while the numbers stay missing. [C4] Credit Agreement AmendmentOn 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 firm also gave a first look at 2026. Sales came in near plan. It still expects a loss for the first half before one-time charges. It blames higher fuel, rail and trucking costs, weak warehouse demand, and the bill for the accounting review. At June 30, 2026 it held $132 million of cash against $198 million of debt. In August it drew $75 million from its $450 million revolving loan. [C2] Preliminary First and Second Quarter 2026 Financial ResultsBased 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. ...
