Hudson Capital Inc. (NASDAQ: HUSN) (Hudson Capital) announced that
FreightHub, Inc.(Fr8Hub), a North American transportation logistics
technology platform company focused on US-Mexico cross-border
shipping with which Hudson Capital has signed a definitive Merger
Agreement, releases financial results for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2021, in Hudson Capital’s amended Registration
Statement on Form S-4 filed on May 18, 2021 with the SEC.
Javier Selgas, CEO of Fr8Hub, said, “First quarter of 2021 sales
of $4.8 million were a record for our company, driven by our
significantly expanded customer base that now includes Fortune 500
customers, new product offerings sold by a salesforce that is
benefitting from industry leading training at our Fr8Hub University
and a technology platform that continues to evolve and lead on the
cutting edge. Our momentum continued in April, putting us on solid
footing for a record first half.
“Management’s laser focus on growth, training, and technology
development grew revenues up 216% over the prior year’s quarter,
while at the same time expanding our gross margins. With COVID-19
effects beginning to abate in North America, and our first Fr8hub
university graduates beginning to assume key roles within the
company, we expect that our services will come under increasing
demand as supply chains continue under pressure and there is an
ever higher need for companies to rely on technology solutions for
their logistics challenges.”
First quarter of 2021 revenues were $4.8 million, up 216%
compared to $1.5 million in the prior year period. For more
information about Fr8Hub’s financial results, investors are advised
to review the three-month financial results for the period ended
