UNION PACIFIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

For purposes of this report, unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the “Corporation”, “Company”, “UPC”, “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Union Pacific Corporation and its subsidiaries, including Union Pacific Railroad Company, which will be separately referred to herein as “UPRR” or the “Railroad”.

1. Basis of Presentation

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 2021, is derived from audited financial statements. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2022.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with GAAP as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC).

2. Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. (ASU) 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which requires business entities to provide certain disclosures when they have received government assistance and use a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance. The ASU was effective January 1, 2022, and had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. This guidance was effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and can be adopted on a prospective basis no later than December 31, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Operations and Segmentation

The Railroad, along with its subsidiaries and rail affiliates, is our one reportable operating segment. Although we provide and analyze revenues by commodity group, we treat the financial results of the Railroad as one segment due to the integrated nature of our rail network. Our operating revenues are primarily derived from contracts with customers for the transportation of freight from origin to destination.

Total operating revenues |  | $ | 6,269 |  |  | $ | 5,504 |  |  | $ | 12,129 |  |  | $ | 10,505 |

Although our revenues are principally derived from customers domiciled in the U.S., the ultimate points of origin or destination for some products we transport are outside the U.S. Each of our commodity groups includes revenues from shipments to and from Mexico. Included in the above table are revenues from our Mexico business, which amounted to $681 million and $618 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

4. Stock-Based Compensation

We have several stock-based compensation plans where employees receive nonvested stock options, nonvested retention shares, and nonvested stock units. We refer to the nonvested shares and stock units collectively as “retention awards”. Starting in July 2021, employees are also able to participate in our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP).

Information regarding stock-based compensation appears in the table below:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |

Excess tax benefits from equity compensation plans |  | $ | 1 |  |  | $ | 2 |  |  | $ | 18 |  |  | $ | 17 |

Stock Options – Stock options are granted at the closing price on the date of grant, have 10-year contractual terms, and vest no later than 3 years from the date of grant. None of the stock options outstanding at June 30, 2022, are subject to performance or market-based vesting conditions.

The table below shows the annual weighted-average assumptions used for Black-Scholes valuation purposes:

Weighted-Average Assumptions |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 1.6 | % |  |  | 0.4 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 1.9 | % |  |  | 1.9 | %
Expected life (years) |  |  | 4.4 |  |  |  | 4.6 |
Volatility |  |  | 28.7 | % |  |  | 28.3 | %
Weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted |  | $ | 51.92 |  |  | $ | 39.97 |

The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant; the expected dividend yield is calculated as the ratio of dividends paid per share of common stock to the stock price on the date of grant; the expected life is based on historical and expected exercise behavior; and expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock price over the expected life of the stock option.

Retention Awards – Retention awards are granted at no cost to the employee, vest over periods lasting up to 4 years, and dividends and dividend equivalents are paid to participants during the vesting periods.

Changes in our retention awards during the six months ended June 30, 2022, were as follows:

| Shares (thous.) | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
Nonvested at January 1, 2022 |  |  | 1,287 |  |  | $ | 165.10 |
Granted |  |  | 234 |  |  |  | 244.27 |
Vested |  |  | (408 | ) |  |  | 125.98 |
Forfeited |  |  | (36 | ) |  |  | 190.72 |
Nonvested at June 30, 2022 |  |  | 1,077 |  |  | $ | 196.26 |

At June 30, 2022, there was $113 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested retention awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Performance Retention Awards – In February 2022, our Board of Directors approved performance stock unit grants. This plan is based on performance targets for annual return on invested capital (ROIC) and operating income growth (OIG) compared to companies in the S&P 100 Industrials Index plus the Class I railroads. We define ROIC as net operating profit adjusted for interest expense (including interest on average operating lease liabilities) and taxes on interest divided by average invested capital adjusted for average operating lease liabilities.

The February 2022 stock units awarded to selected employees are subject to continued employment for 37 months, the attainment of certain levels of ROIC, and the relative three-year OIG. We expense two-thirds of the fair value of the units that are probable of being earned based on our forecasted ROIC over the 3-year performance period, and with respect to the third year of the plan, the remaining one-third of the fair value is subject to the relative three-year OIG. We measure the fair value of performance stock units based upon the closing price of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant. Dividend equivalents are accumulated during the service period and paid to participants only after the units are earned.

Changes in our performance retention awards during the six months ended June 30, 2022, were as follows:

| Shares (thous.) | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
Nonvested at January 1, 2022 |  |  | 641 |  |  | $ | 173.03 |
Granted |  |  | 209 |  |  |  | 244.35 |
Vested |  |  | (56 | ) |  |  | 162.64 |
Unearned |  |  | (163 | ) |  |  | 161.57 |
Forfeited |  |  | (21 | ) |  |  | 207.64 |
Nonvested at June 30, 2022 |  |  | 610 |  |  | $ | 200.29 |

At June 30, 2022, there was $37 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested performance retention awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. This expense is subject to achievement of the performance measures established for the performance stock unit grants.

5. Retirement Plans

We provide defined benefit retirement income to eligible non-union employees through qualified and non-qualified (supplemental) pension plans. Qualified and non-qualified pension benefits are based on years of service and the highest compensation during the latest years of employment, with specific reductions made for early retirements. Non-union employees hired on or after January 1, 2018, are no longer eligible for pension benefits, but are eligible for an enhanced 401(k) plan.

Expense

Pension expense is determined based upon the annual service cost of benefits (the actuarial cost of benefits earned during a period) and the interest cost on those liabilities, less the expected return on plan assets. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is applied to a calculated value of plan assets that recognizes changes in fair value over a 5-year period. This practice is intended to reduce year-to-year volatility in pension expense, but it can have the effect of delaying the recognition of differences between actual returns on assets and expected returns based on long-term rate of return assumptions. Differences in actual experience in relation to assumptions are not recognized in net income immediately, but are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss and, if necessary, amortized as pension expense.

The components of our net periodic pension cost were as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |  |  | June 30, |
Millions |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Service cost |  | $ | 26 |  |  | $ | 30 |  |  | $ | 52 |  |  | $ | 60 |
Interest cost |  |  | 31 |  |  |  | 27 |  |  |  | 62 |  |  |  | 53 |
Expected return on plan assets |  |  | (73 | ) |  |  | (68 | ) |  |  | (146 | ) |  |  | (135 | )
Amortization of actuarial loss |  |  | 21 |  |  |  | 35 |  |  |  | 43 |  |  |  | 71 |
Net periodic pension cost |  | $ | 5 |  |  | $ | 24 |  |  | $ | 11 |  |  | $ | 49 |

Cash Contributions

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash contributions totaled $0 to the qualified pension plans. Any contributions made during 2022 will be based on cash generated from operations and financial market considerations. Our policy with respect to funding the qualified pension plans is to fund at least the minimum required by law and not more than the maximum amount deductible for tax purposes. At June 30, 2022, we do not have minimum cash funding requirements for 2022.

10. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable includes freight and other receivables reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, our accounts receivable were reduced by $9 million and $10 million, respectively. Receivables not expected to be collected in one year and the associated allowances are classified as other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, receivables classified as other assets were reduced by allowances of $47 million and $51 million, respectively.

Receivables Securitization Facility – The Railroad maintains an $800 million, 3-year receivables securitization facility (the Receivables Facility) maturing in July 2022, wi th the intent to renew under comparable terms and conditions. Under the Receivables Facility, the Railroad sells most of its eligible third-party receivables to Union Pacific Receivables, Inc. (UPRI), a consolidated, wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary that may subsequently transfer, without recourse, an undivided interest in accounts receivable to investors. The investors have no recourse to the Railroad’s other assets except for customary warranty and indemnity claims. Creditors of the Railroad do not have recourse to the assets of UPRI.

The amount recorded under the Receivables Facility was $600 million and $300 million at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Receivables Facility was supported by $1.7 billion and $1.3 billion of accounts receivable as collateral at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, which, as a retained interest, is included in accounts receivable, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Table of Contents

The outstanding amount the Railroad maintains under the Receivables Facility may fluctuate based on current cash needs. The maximum allowed under the Receivables Facility is $800 million with availability directly impacted by eligible receivables, business volumes, and credit risks, including receivables payment quality measures such as default and dilution ratios. If default or dilution ratios increase one percent, the allowable outstanding amount under the Receivables Facility would not materially change.

The costs of the Receivables Facility include interest, which will vary based on prevailing benchmark and commercial paper rates, program fees paid to participating banks, commercial paper issuance costs, and fees of participating banks for unused commitment availability. The costs of the Receivables Facility are included in interest expense and were $3 million and $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 , respectively, and $ 4 mi llion and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 , respectively.

13. Financial Instruments

Short-Term Investments – All of the Company’s short-term investments consist of time deposits and government agency securities. These investments are considered Level 2 investments and are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $46 million of short-term investments. All short-term investments have a maturity of less than one year and are classified as held-to-maturity.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The fair value of our short- and long-term debt was estimated using a market value price model, which utilizes applicable U.S. Treasury rates along with current market quotes on comparable debt securities. All of the inputs used to determine the fair market value of the Corporation’s long-term debt are Level 2 inputs and obtained from an independent source. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of total debt was $27.7 billion, approximately $4.3 billion less than the carrying value. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of total debt was $32.9 billion, approximately $3.2 billion more than the carrying value. The fair value of the Corporation’s debt is a measure of its current value under present market conditions. The fair value of our cash equivalents approximates their carrying value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

14. Debt

Credit Facilities – During the second quarter 2022, we replaced our $2.0 billion revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire in June 8, 2023, with a new $2.0 billion facility that expires May 20, 2027 (the Facility). The Facility is based on substantially similar terms as those in the previous credit facility as described below. At June 30, 2022, we had $2.0 billion of credit available under our revolving credit facility, which is designated for general corporate purposes and supports the issuance of commercial paper. Credit facility withdrawals totaled $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Commitment fees and interest rates payable under the Facility are similar to fees and rates available to comparably rated, investment-grade borrowers. The Facility allows for borrowings at floating rates based on Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), plus a spread, depending upon credit ratings for our senior unsecured debt. The Facility, requires UPC to maintain a debt-to-EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) coverage ratio.

The definition of debt used for purposes of calculating the debt-to-EBITDA coverage ratio includes, among other things, certain credit arrangements, finance leases, guarantees, unfunded and vested pension benefits under Title IV of ERISA, and unamortized debt discount and deferred debt issuance costs. At June 30, 2022 , the Company was in compliance with the debt-to-EBITDA coverage ratio, which allows us to carry up to $47.0 billion of debt (as defined in the Facility), and we had $33.8 billion of debt (as defined in the Facility) outstanding at that date. The Facility does not include any other financial restrictions, credit rating triggers (other than rating-dependent pricing), or any other provision that could require us to post collateral. The Facility also includes a $150 million cross-default provision and a change-of-control provision.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we issued $2.0 billion and repaid $2.2 billion of commercial paper with maturities ranging from 7 to 86 days, and at June 30, 2022, we had $250 million of commercial paper with a weighted average interest rate of 1.5% outstanding. Our revolving credit facility supports our outstanding commercial paper balances, and, unless we change the terms of our commercial paper program, our aggregate issuance of commercial paper will not exceed the amount of borrowings available under the Facility.

Shelf Registration Statement and Significant New Borrowings – On February 3, 2022, the Board of Directors renewed its authorization for the Company to issue up to $12.0 billion of debt securities under the Company’s current three-year shelf registration filed on February 10, 2021. This reauthorization replaces the original Board authorization, which had $2.5 billion in remaining authority. Under our shelf registration, we may issue, from time to time any combination of debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, or warrants for debt securities or preferred stock in one or more offerings.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we issued the following unsecured, fixed-rate debt securities under our shelf registration:

Date | Description of Securities
February 14, 2022 | $1.25 billion of 2.800% Notes due February 14, 2032
| $0.50 billion of 3.375% Notes due February 14, 2042
| $1.25 billion of 3.500% Notes due February 14, 2053
| $0.50 billion of 3.850% Notes due February 14, 2072

We used the net proceeds from the offerings for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of common stock pursuant to our share repurchase programs. These debt securities include change-of-control provisions. At June 30, 2022, we had remaining authority to issue up to $8.5 billion of debt securities under our shelf registration.

Debt Redemption – On April 15, 2022, we redeemed all $750 million of outstanding 4.163% notes due July 15, 2022, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Receivables Securitization Facility – As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we recorded $600 million and $300 million, respectively, of borrowings under our Receivables Facility as secured debt. (See further discussion of our receivables securitization facility in Note 10).

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Asserted and Unasserted Claims – Various claims and lawsuits are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries. We cannot fully determine the effect of all asserted and unasserted claims on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. To the extent possible, we have recorded a liability where asserted and unasserted claims are considered probable and where such claims can be reasonably estimated. We do not expect that any known lawsuits, claims, environmental costs, commitments, contingent liabilities, or guarantees will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity after taking into account liabilities and insurance recoveries previously recorded for these matters.

Personal Injury – The Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) governs compensation for work-related accidents. Under FELA, damages are assessed based on a finding of fault through litigation or out-of-court settlements. We offer a comprehensive variety of services and rehabilitation programs for employees who are injured at work.

Approximately 94% of the recorded liability is related to asserted claims and approximately 6% is related to unasserted claims at June 30, 2022. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate outcome of personal injury claims, it is reasonably possible that future costs to settle these claims may range from approximately $347 million to $381 million. We record an accrual at the low end of the range as no amount of loss within the range is more probable than any other. Estimates can vary over time due to evolving trends in litigation.

Our personal injury liability activity was as follows:

Millions, for the Six Months Ended June 30, |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 325 |  |  | $ | 270 |
Current year accruals |  |  | 51 |  |  |  | 45 |

Environmental Costs – We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. We have identified 359 sites where we are or may be liable for remediation costs associated with alleged contamination or for violations of environmental requirements. This includes 30 sites that are the subject of actions taken by the U.S. government, including 20 that are currently on the Superfund National Priorities List. Certain federal legislation imposes joint and several liability for the remediation of identified sites; consequently, our ultimate environmental liability may include costs relating to activities of other parties, in addition to costs relating to our own activities at each site.

Our environmental liability activity was as follows:

Millions, for the Six Months Ended June 30, |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 243 |  |  | $ | 233 |
Accruals |  |  | 52 |  |  |  | 43 |
Payments |  |  | (29 | ) |  |  | (26 | )
Ending balance at June 30, |  | $ | 266 |  |  | $ | 250 |
Current portion, ending balance at June 30, |  | $ | 64 |  |  | $ | 63 |

The environmental liability includes future costs for remediation and restoration of sites, as well as ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any anticipated recoveries from third-parties. Cost estimates are based on information available for each site, financial viability of other potentially responsible parties, and existing technology, laws, and regulations. The ultimate liability for remediation is difficult to determine because of the number of potentially responsible parties, site-specific cost sharing arrangements with other potentially responsible parties, the degree of contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and quality of volumetric data related to many of the sites, and the speculative nature of remediation costs. Estimates of liability may vary over time due to changes in federal, state, and local laws governing environmental remediation. Current obligations are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Insurance – The Company has a consolidated, wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary (the Captive), that provides insurance coverage for certain risks including workers compensation, general liability, auto liability, and FELA claims. The Captive receives direct premiums, which are netted against the Company’s premium costs in other expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We record both liabilities and reinsurance receivables using an actuarial analysis based on historical experience in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Indemnities – Our maximum potential exposure under indemnification arrangements, including certain tax indemnifications, can range from a specified dollar amount to an unlimited amount, depending on the nature of the transactions and the agreements. Due to uncertainty as to whether claims will be made or how they will be resolved, we cannot reasonably determine the probability of an adverse claim or reasonably estimate any adverse liability or the total maximum exposure under these indemnification arrangements. We do not have any reason to believe that we will be required to make any material payments under these indemnity provisions.

16. Share Repurchase Programs

Effective April 1, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 100 million shares of our common stock by March 31, 2025. These repurchases may be made on the open market or through other transactions. Our management has sole discretion with respect to determining the timing and amount of these transactions.

Our previous authorization, which was effective April 1, 2019, through March 31, 2022, was approved by our Board of Directors for up to 150 million shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2022, we repurchased a total of 83.3 million shares of our common stock under the 2019 authorization.

Table of Contents

The table below represents shares repurchased under the repurchase program in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

| Number of Shares Purchased | Average Price Paid [a] |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
First quarter [b] |  |  | 11,014,201 |  |  |  | 6,691,421 |  |  | $ | 249.95 |  |  | $ | 209.50 |
Second quarter [c] |  |  | 3,100,683 |  |  |  | 12,204,409 |  |  |  | 232.87 |  |  |  | 222.46 |

Remaining number of shares that may be repurchased under current authority | 96,899,317 |

[a] | In the period of the final settlement, the average price paid under the accelerated share repurchase programs is calculated based on the total program value less the value assigned to the initial delivery of shares. The average price of the completed 2022 accelerated share repurchase programs was $248.32. The average price of the initial settlement of the 2021 accelerated share repurchase programs was $221.94.
[b] | Includes 7,012,232 shares repurchased in 2022 under accelerated share repurchase programs.
[c] | Includes 1,847,185 and 7,209,156 shares repurchased in 2022 and 2021, respectively, under accelerated share repurchase programs.

Management's assessments of market conditions and other pertinent factors guide the timing and volume of all repurchases. We expect to fund any share repurchases under this program through cash generated from operations, the sale or lease of various operating and non-operating properties, debt issuances, and cash on hand. Open market repurchases are recorded in treasury stock at cost, which includes any applicable commissions and fees.

Accelerated Share Repurchase Programs – The Company has established accelerated share repurchase programs (ASRs) with financial institutions to repurchase shares of our common stock. These ASRs have been structured so that at the time of commencement, we pay a specified amount to the financial institutions and receive an initial delivery of shares. Additional shares may be received at the time of settlement. The final number of shares to be received is based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the ASR term, less a discount and subject to potential adjustments pursuant to the terms of such ASR.

On February 18, 2022, the Company received 7,012,232 shares of its common stock repurchased under ASRs for an aggregate of $2.2 billion. Upon settlement of these ASRs in the second quarter of 2022, we received 1,847,185 additional shares.

On May 26, 2021, the Company received 7,209,156 shares of its common stock repurchased under ASRs for an aggregate of $2.0 billion. Upon settlement of these ASRs in the third quarter of 2021, we received 1,983,859 additional shares.

ASRs are accounted for as equity transactions, and at the time of receipt, shares are included in treasury stock at fair market value as of the corresponding initiation or settlement date. The Company reflects shares received as a repurchase of common stock in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

UNION PACIFIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

For purposes of this report, unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to “UPC”, “Corporation”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” shall mean Union Pacific Corporation and its subsidiaries, including Union Pacific Railroad Company, which we separately refer to as “UPRR” or the “Railroad”.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and applicable notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1, and other information included in this report. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

The Railroad, along with its subsidiaries and rail affiliates, is our one reportable business segment. Although we provide and analyze revenues by commodity group, we treat the financial results of the Railroad as one segment due to the integrated nature of our rail network.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires estimation and judgment that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. If these estimates differ materially from actual results, the impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be material. Our critical accounting estimates are available in Item 7 of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the first six months of 2022, there have not been any significant changes with respect to the policies used to develop our critical accounting estimates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarterly Summary

The Company reported earnings of $2.93 per diluted share on net income of $1.8 billion and an operating ratio of 60.2% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to earnings of $2.72 per diluted share on net income of $1.8 billion and an operating ratio of 55.1% for the second quarter of 2021. Freight revenues increased 14% in the quarter compared to the same period in 2021 driven by a 16% increase in average revenue per car (ARC), partially offset by a 1% decline in volume. The ARC increase was due to higher fuel surcharge revenues, core pricing gains, and positive mix of traffic (for example, a relative decrease in intermodal shipments, which have a lower ARC).

As we entered the quarter, our service metrics were deteriorating caused by congestion across the system hindering our ability to handle all the market demand. To address this congestion, we accelerated hiring and training new employees, temporarily relocated train, engine, and yard employees to areas with the greatest need, added locomotives to the fleet in select locations, and reduced freight car inventory from our network, including asking customers to reduce their freight car inventory by adjusting their pipeline when their inventory exceeded set thresholds in our servicing yards. These actions had a negative impact on volumes across all three commodity groups. In addition, intermodal volumes declined with the on-going supply chain disruptions and the COVID shutdowns in China. Partially offsetting these declines were some recovery of the automotive market and strong demand for rock.

Crude oil prices remained above $100 a barrel throughout most of the quarter, as the global energy market was impacted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, driving an 87% increase in our average fuel price for the quarter. Along with the higher cost of fuel, costs increased due to the additional resources deployed to improve network fluidity, higher inflation, and higher personal injury costs. These increased costs mostly offset the higher revenues as operating income increased 1% in the second quarter compared to the same period in 2021.

We generate freight revenues by transporting products from our three commodity groups. Freight revenues vary with volume (carloads) and ARC. Changes in price, traffic mix, and fuel surcharges drive ARC. Customer incentives, which are primarily provided for shipping to/from specific locations or based on cumulative volumes, are recorded as a reduction to operating revenues. Customer incentives that include variable consideration based on cumulative volumes are estimated using the expected value method, which is based on available historical, current, and forecasted volumes, and recognized as the related performance obligation is satisfied. We recognize freight revenues over time as shipments move from origin to destination. The allocation of revenues between reporting periods is based on the relative transit time in each reporting period with expenses recognized as incurred.

Other subsidiary revenues (primarily logistics and commuter rail operations) are generally recognized over time as shipments move from origin to destination. The allocation of revenues between reporting periods is based on the relative transit time in each reporting period with expenses recognized as incurred. Accessorial revenues are recognized at a point in time as performance obligations are satisfied.

Freight revenues increased 14% during the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021, resulting from higher fuel surcharges, core pricing gains, and positive mix of traffic, partially offset by a 1% volume decline. To improve service and network fluidity Union Pacific asked customers to reduce their freight car inventory by adjusting their pipeline when their inventory exceeded set thresholds in our servicing yards. These actions had a negative impact on volumes across all three commodity groups. In addition, intermodal volumes declined with the on-going supply chain disruptions and the COVID shutdowns in China. Partially offsetting these declines were some recovery of the automotive market and strong demand for rock.

Each of our commodity groups includes revenues from fuel surcharges. Freight revenues from fuel surcharge programs increased to $976 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $414 million in the same period of 2021 due to higher fuel prices.

Other subsidiary revenues increased in the second quarter and six-month period of 2022 compared to 2021 primarily driven by some recovery of automotive parts shipments and contract wins at our subsidiary that brokers intermodal and transload logistics services. Accessorial revenues increased in the second quarter and six-month period of 2022 compared to 2021 driven by increased intermodal accessorial charges resulting primarily from ongoing global supply chain disruptions.

Table of Contents

Bulk – Bulk includes shipments of grain and grain products, fertilizer, food and refrigerated goods, and coal and renewables. Freight revenues from bulk shipments increased in the second quarter and six-month periods of 2022 compared to 2021 due to higher fuel surcharge revenues and core pricing gains. Volume declined 1% in the second quarter compared to 2022 driven by network constraints increasing shuttle cycle times for our grain traffic, partially offset by 2% increase in coal and renewable carloads. Conversely, volume increased 5% in the year-to-date period compared to 2021 due to a 15% increase in coal and renewable shipments due to higher natural gas prices and contract wins. Negative mix of traffic from increased coal shipments partially offset some of the gains in the year-to-date period.

Industrial – Industrial includes shipments of industrial chemicals and plastics, metals and minerals, forest products, and energy and specialized markets. Freight revenues from industrial shipments increased in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 due to higher fuel surcharge revenues, higher volume, and core pricing gains, partially offset by negative mix of traffic from increased short haul rock shipments. Volume grew 6% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 despite the actions taken to reduce freight car inventory and slower cycle times. The growth was driven by metals and minerals due to strong demand for rock. Petroleum shipments declined in the second quarter compared to 2021 due to regulatory challenges in Mexico markets. Year-to-date, freight revenue increased compared to 2021 driven by an 8% volume increase, higher fuel surcharge, and core pricing gains, partially offset by negative mix of traffic. In addition to the second quarter drivers, many of our customers in the Gulf Coast experienced Winter Storm Uri interruptions for an extended period causing a significant impact on the industrial chemicals and plastics and metals and minerals industries in the first quarter of 2021. Last year’s weather event coupled with 2022 strong demand drove the year-over-year increase for the impacted commodities for the year-to-date period.

Premium – Premium includes shipments of finished automobiles, automotive parts, and merchandise in intermodal containers, both domestic and international. Premium freight revenues increased in the second quarter and six-month period of 2022 compared to 2021 due to higher fuel surcharge revenues, core pricing gains, positive mix of traffic from lower international intermodal shipments, partially offset by volume declines. Intermodal volume declined 8% and 7% in the second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, compared to 2021 driven by ongoing international supply chain disruptions and company actions to store equipment, partially offset by domestic contract wins and tight truck capacity. Automotive shipments increased 11% and 8% in the second quarter and six-month periods, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021 driven by an increase in automotive parts and finished vehicle shipments as the automotive industry slowly recovers from the shortage of semiconductors and last year’s weather disruptions in the first quarter.

Mexico Business – Each of our commodity groups includes revenues from shipments to and from Mexico. Revenues from Mexico business increased 10% to $681 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 driven by higher fuel surcharge revenues, positive business mix from lower intermodal shipments, and core pricing gains, partially offset by a 4% decline in volume. The volume decrease was driven by intermodal and petroleum shipments, partially offset by automotive parts. Year-to-date, revenues increased 13% to $1.3 billion because of higher fuel surcharge revenues, positive business mix from lower intermodal shipments, and core pricing gains, partially offset by 2% volume decline compared to 2021.

Operating expenses increased $743 million and $1.2 billion in the second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, compared to 2021 driven by higher fuel prices, operational challenges, inflation, and higher casualty costs. In addition, the year-to-date period comparison was impacted positively by lower weather-related expenses and negatively by higher state and local taxes in 2022.

Compensation and Benefits – Compensation and benefits include wages, payroll taxes, health and welfare costs, pension costs, and incentive costs. For the second quarter and year-to-date periods, expenses increased 7% compared to 2021 due to a 2% increase in employee levels and wage inflation. The year-to-date period also was partially offset by last year's weather-related expenses. Employee levels increased in the second quarter and year-to-date periods to address congestion across the system, including hiring and training new employees. The year-to-date period also was affected by increased carload volumes.

Fuel – Fuel includes locomotive fuel and gasoline for highway and non-highway vehicles and heavy equipment. Fuel expense increased in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 driven by an 87% increase in locomotive diesel fuel prices, which averaged $4.03 and $2.16 per gallon (including taxes and transportation costs) in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. A 1% increase in gross ton-miles also contributed to the higher expense. Fuel consumption rate, computed as gallons of fuel consumed divided by gross ton-mile in thousands, deteriorated slightly. For the six-month period, locomotive diesel fuel prices averaged $3.48 per gallon in 2022 compared to $2.01 per gallon in 2021, driving the 82% increase in expenses. In addition, gross ton-miles increased 5% and fuel consumption rate deteriorated slightly during the year-to-date period, also driving higher fuel expense compared to 2021.

Purchased Services and Materials – Expense for purchased services and materials includes the costs of services purchased from outside contractors and other service providers (including equipment maintenance and contract expenses incurred by our subsidiaries for external transportation services); materials used to maintain the Railroad’s lines, structures, and equipment; costs of operating facilities jointly used by UPRR and other railroads; transportation and lodging for train crew employees; trucking and contracting costs for intermodal containers; leased automobile maintenance expenses; and tools and supplies. Purchased services and materials increased 30% and 22% in the second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, compared to 2021 primarily due to higher locomotive maintenance expenses due to a larger active fleet to assist in recovering the network, inflation, and increased drayage costs incurred by one of our subsidiaries. In addition, the year-to-date period comparison was positively impacted by last year’s weather-related expenses.

Depreciation – The majority of depreciation relates to road property, including rail, ties, ballast, and other track material. Depreciation expense was up 2% and 1% for the second quarter and six-month periods, respectively, compared to 2021.

Equipment and Other Rents – Equipment and other rents expense primarily includes rental expense that the Railroad pays for freight cars owned by other railroads or private companies; freight car, intermodal, and locomotive leases; and office and other rentals. Equipment and other rents expense increased 15% and 8% in the second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, compared to 2021 driven by lower equity income from our investment in TTX Company and increased freight car rent expense due to network congestion.

Other – Other expenses include state and local taxes; freight, equipment, and property damage; utilities; insurance; personal injury; environmental remediation; employee travel; telephone and cellular; computer software; bad debt; and other general expenses. Other costs increased 17% and 11% in the second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, compared to 2021 driven by casualty expenses, including higher personal injury expense, and increased business travel costs, partially offset by lower environmental remediation costs. In the year-to-date period, higher state and local taxes also contributed to the increase.

Real estate sales in the second quarter of 2022 includes a $79 million gain from a land sale to the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, while the second quarter of 2021 includes a $50 million gain from a sale to the Colorado Department of Transportation. In addition, the year-to-date comparison was negatively impacted by higher environmental remediation expense at non-operating sites.

Interest Expense – Interest expense increased in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 due to an increased weighted-average debt level of $32.1 billion in 2022 compared to $28.0 billion in 2021, while the effective interest rate was flat at 4.0% in both years. Year-to-date, interest expense increased due to an increased weighted-average debt level of $31.5 billion in 2022 compared to $27.4 billion in 2021, partially offset by a lower effective interest rate of 4.0% in 2022 compared to 4.1% in 2021.

Income Taxes – Income tax expense decreased in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021, driven by deferred tax adjustments from states reducing their corporate income tax rates. Second quarter 2022 included a $55 million reduction of deferred tax expense related to Nebraska reducing its corporate income tax rate, while second quarter 2021 included $43 million in reductions to deferred tax expense related to Idaho, Nebraska, and Oklahoma reducing their corporate income tax rates. Year-to-date, income tax expense increased compared to the same period in 2021 due to higher pre-tax income, partially offset by the deferred tax adjustments described above. Our effective tax rates for year-to-date 2022 and 2021 were 22.3% and 22.9%, respectively.

[a] | As reported to the STB.
[b] | Methodology used to report (described below) is not comparable with the reporting to the STB under docket number EP 770.

Gross and Revenue Ton-Miles – Gross ton-miles are calculated by multiplying the weight of loaded and empty freight cars by the number of miles hauled. Revenue ton-miles are calculated by multiplying the weight of freight by the number of tariff miles. Revenue ton-miles decreased 1% during the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021, driven by a 1% decrease in carloadings, while gross ton-miles increased 1%. Year-to-date, gross ton-miles and revenue ton-miles increased 5% and 4%, respectively, driven by a 1% increase in carloadings. Changes in commodity mix drove the variances in both periods between gross ton-miles, revenue ton-miles, and carloads.

Freight Car Velocity – Freight car velocity measures the average daily miles per car on our network. The two key drivers of this metric are the speed of the train between terminals (average train speed) and the time a rail car spends at the terminals (average terminal dwell time). As freight car velocity, average train speed, and average terminal dwell deteriorated, operating car inventory levels increased and congested the network compared to the same periods in 2021.

Locomotive Productivity – Locomotive productivity is gross ton-miles per average daily locomotive horsepower available. Locomotive productivity decreased in the second quarter and six-month periods of 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 driven by an increase in our average active fleet size as resources were deployed to alleviate network congestion in both periods and handle increased volume in the six-month period of 2022.

Train Length – Train length is the average maximum train length on a route measured in feet. Our train length was flat in the second quarter and six-month periods of 2022 compared to same periods in 2021 primarily driven by train length improvement initiatives, offset by lower international intermodal shipments.

Table of Contents

Car Trip Plan Compliance – Car trip plan compliance is the percentage of cars delivered on time in accordance with our original trip plan. Our network car trip plan compliance is broken into the intermodal and manifest/automotive products. Manifest/automotive car trip plan compliance and intermodal car trip plan compliance deteriorated in the second quarter and six-month periods of 2022 compared to 2021 because of network congestion.

Workforce Productivity – Workforce productivity is average daily car miles per employee. Workforce productivity declined 2% in the second quarter of 2022, as average daily car miles were essentially flat while employees increased 2% compared to 2021. The 2% increase in employee levels was driven by an increase in train, engine, and yard employees to address congestion and market demands. Year-to-date, workforce productivity improved 1% as average daily car miles increased 3% and employees increased 2% compared to the same period in 2021.

Operating Ratio – Operating ratio is our operating expenses reflected as a percentage of operating revenues. Our second quarter operating ratio of 60.2% deteriorated 5.1 points compared to 2021 and our year-to-date operating ratio of 59.8% deteriorated 2.3 points compared to 2021 mainly due to excess network costs, higher fuel prices, inflation, and other cost increases, partially offset by positive mix of traffic, and core pricing gains. In addition, the year-to-date comparison was positively impacted by lower weather-related expenses.

[a] | The trailing twelve months income statement information ended June 30, 2022, is recalculated by taking the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, subtracting the six months ended June 30, 2021, and adding the six months ended June 30, 2022.
[b] | Represents the hypothetical interest expense we would incur (using the incremental borrowing rate) if the property under our operating leases were owned or accounted for as finance leases.
[c] | OPEB = other postretirement benefits

Adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and adjustments for other income and interest on present value of operating leases) is considered a non-GAAP financial measure by SEC Regulation G and Item 10 of SEC Regulation S-K and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. We believe this measure is important to management and investors in evaluating the Company’s ability to sustain given debt levels (including leases) with the cash generated from operations. In addition, a comparable measure is used by rating agencies when reviewing the Company’s credit rating. Adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income. The table above provides reconciliations from net income to adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA. At both June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the incremental borrowing rate on operating leases was 3.2%.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 due to higher income tax cash payments and an increase in our accounts receivable balances more than offsetting our higher net income.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities increased in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 driven by increased capital investment.

The table below details cash capital investments:

[c] | Weather-related damages for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, are immaterial.

Capital Plan

In 2022, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $3.3 billion, up 10 % from 2021, as we make investments to support our growth strategy. We will continue to harden our infrastructure, replace older assets, and improve the safety and resilience of the network. In addition, the plan includes targeted freight car acquisitions, investments in growth-related projects to drive more carloads to the network, certain ramps to efficiently handle volumes from new and existing intermodal customers, continued modernization of our locomotive fleet, and projects intended to improve operational efficiency. The capital plan may be revised if business conditions warrant or if new laws or regulations affect our ability to generate sufficient returns on these investments.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities decreased in the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 driven by an increase in debt issued and less share repurchases, partially offset by more debt repaid and higher dividends.

See Note 14 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of all our outstanding financing arrangements and significant new borrowings and Note 16 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our share repurchase programs.

Free Cash Flow – Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less cash used in investing activities and dividends paid. Cash flow conversion rate is cash provided by operating activities less cash used for capital investments as a ratio of net income.

Free cash flow and cash flow conversion rate are not considered financial measures under GAAP by SEC Regulation G and Item 10 of SEC Regulation S-K and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. We believe free cash flow and cash flow conversion rate are important to management and investors in evaluating our financial performance and measures our ability to generate cash without additional external financing. Free cash flow and cash flow conversion rate should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, cash provided by operating activities.

The following table reconciles cash provided by operating activities (GAAP measure) to free cash flow (non-GAAP measure):

Current Liquidity Status

We are continually evaluating our financial condition and liquidity. We analyze a wide range of economic scenarios and the impact on our ability to generate cash. These analyses inform our liquidity plans and activities outlined below and indicate we have sufficient borrowing capacity to sustain an extended period of lower volumes.

During the second quarter, we generated $1.9 billion of cash provided by operating activities, paid our quarterly dividend, and repurchased $0.7 billion under our share repurchase program, including the final settlement of the accelerated share repurchase program entered into on February 17, 2022. On June 30, 2022, we had $788 million of cash and cash equivalents, $2.0 billion of credit available under our revolving credit facility, and up to $200 million undrawn on the Receivables Facility. In the second quarter, we drew $600 million on the Receivables Facility and redeemed all $750 million of outstanding 4.163% notes due July 15, 2022. We have been, and we expect to continue to be, in compliance with our debt covenants.

As described in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and as referenced in the table below, we have contractual obligations that may affect our financial condition. However, based on our assessment of the underlying provisions and circumstances of our contractual obligations, including material sources of off-balance sheet and structured finance arrangements, there is no known trend, demand, commitment, event, or uncertainty that is reasonably likely to occur that would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. In addition, our commercial obligations, financings, and commitments are customary transactions that are like those of other comparable corporations, particularly within the transportation industry.

OTHER MATTERS

Accounting Pronouncements – See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Asserted and Unasserted Claims – See Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Indemnities – See Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Labor Agreements – Pursuant to the Railway Labor Act (RLA), our collective bargaining agreements are subject to modification every five years. Existing agreements remain in effect until new agreements are ratified or until the RLA procedures are exhausted. The RLA procedures include mediation, potential arbitration, cooling-off periods, and the possibility of Presidential Emergency Boards and Congressional intervention. The current round of negotiations began on January 1, 2020, related to years 2020-2024. In June 2022, the National Mediation Board released the parties from mediation, which initiated the first 30-day cooling-off period. Prior to the end of the first cooling-off period, the Biden administration appointed a Presidential Emergency Board (PEB) to resolve the parties' disputes. The PEB has 30 days to issue a report with its recommendations, which may be adopted or rejected by the parties. If the parties decline to adopt the PEB's recommendations, a second 30-day cooling-off period will begin. If the parties do not reach voluntary agreements by the end of the second cooling-off period, the parties may engage in self-help (i.e., lockouts or strike). Congress may act to stop self-help by extending the cool-off period or passing a law forcing a collective bargaining agreement on the parties.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Additionally, the CEO and CFO determined that there were no changes to the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation that occur in connection with our business. We routinely assess our liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based upon the latest available information and, when necessary, we seek input from our third-party advisors when making these assessments. Consistent with SEC rules and requirements, we describe below material pending legal proceedings (other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business), material proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, other proceedings arising under federal, state, or local environmental laws and regulations (including governmental proceedings involving potential fines, penalties, or other monetary sanctions in excess of $1,000,000), and such other pending matters that we may determine to be appropriate.

Environmental Matters

We receive notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state environmental agencies alleging that we are or may be liable under federal or state environmental laws for remediation costs at various sites throughout the U.S., including sites on the Superfund National Priorities List or state superfund lists. We cannot predict the ultimate impact of these proceedings and suits because of the number of potentially responsible parties involved, the degree of contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and quality of volumetric data related to many of the sites, and the speculative nature of remediation costs.

Information concerning environmental claims and contingencies and estimated remediation costs is set forth in this report in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates – Environmental Costs, Item 7, and Note 17 of the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations (including revenues and profitability), and/or stock price. Our business also could be affected by risks that we are not presently aware of or that we currently consider immaterial to our operations.
