CSX Corporation Announces First Quarter Earnings
Highlights:

• | Service improvements, significant efficiency and resource alignment savings combined to help offset the impact of lower volume

• | Continued low commodity prices, strong U.S. dollar and energy market transition will challenge second quarter and full-year 2016 performance

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - April 12, 2016 - CSX Corporation (Nasdaq: CSX) today announced first quarter 2016 net earnings of $356 million, or $0.37 per share, down from $442 million, or $0.45 per share, in the same period of last year.
“As we managed through the impact of the continued coal decline and other market forces during the first quarter, CSX took aggressive actions to improve efficiency, reduce costs and streamline resources across the network to further reshape the company,” said Michael J. Ward, chairman and chief executive officer.
Revenue for the quarter declined 14 percent, reflecting lower fuel recovery, a 5 percent volume decline and a $95 million year-over-year decline in other revenue related to payments received in 2015 from customers that did not meet their minimum volume commitments. These impacts more than offset pricing gains across nearly all markets from an improving service product and volume growth in automotive, intermodal, minerals and waste and equipment.
Expenses decreased 12 percent, driven by efficiency gains of $133 million and lower volume-related costs of $64 million as CSX reduced its cost structure in the face of the challenging market environment. In addition, the reduction in the price of fuel decreased fuel expense by $78 million for the quarter.
Including the impact of these cost savings and the decline in other revenue, operating income decreased $139 million to $704 million. At the same time, the operating ratio increased 90 basis points year-over-year to 73.1 percent.
“While CSX delivered strong efficiency gains in the first quarter, we continue to expect full-year earnings per share to decline in 2016 as a result of ongoing coal headwinds combined with other market fundamentals,” said Ward. “At the same time, CSX remains focused on meeting and exceeding customer expectations while driving further efficiency savings to maximize shareholder value and achieve a mid-60s operating ratio longer term.”

VOLUME AND REVENUE
Revenue was down $409 million to $2.6 billion from the prior year's first quarter reflecting lower fuel recovery, volume declines and a $95 million year-over-year decline in other revenue related to payments received in 2015 from customers that did not meet volume commitments. These impacts more than offset pricing gains across nearly all markets.

Same Store Sales Pricing Year-Over-Year Change
| % Change |
All-In | 3.1 | % |
Merchandise and Intermodal | 4.0 | % |

Same store sales is defined as customer shipments with the same commodity and car type, and the same origin and destination.
Revenue per unit was down 9 percent as pricing gains in the quarter were more than offset by lower fuel recoveries and negative mix. Same store sales increased across nearly all markets with the exception of export coal.

% of Carloads
Agricultural Products - Volume fell due to declines in ethanol and feed products, driven by high inventories and low commodity prices, respectively.
Phosphates and Fertilizers - Volume decline was driven by reduced phosphate rock shipments as a result of customer facility repairs, and weak early spring fertilizer demand as farmers have waited to see if commodity pricing will fall further.
Food and Consumer - Lower volume resulted from poor western crop yields in produce and excess truck capacity.

% of Carloads
Chemicals - Lower volumes resulted from continued declines in crude oil shipments due to low oil prices and unfavorable Brent-Bakken pri ce spreads which more than offset favorability in remaining chemical markets.
Automotive - Volume increased, especially SUV and truck shipments reflecting consumer trends, as a result of continued strong North American light vehicle production and favorable comparisons as last winter’s weather created network challenges in the northeast.
Metals - Despite sequential improvement, volume was down, as lower steel production reflected continued import displacement resulting from a strong U.S. dollar. In addition, the declining energy market negatively impacted shipments of pipe, as a result of reduced rig counts.

% of Carloads
Forest Products - Volume declined as paper products were negatively impacted by continued industry consolidation cutting capacity, a plant product conversion reducing demand and muted export demand from a strong U.S. dollar.
Minerals - Volume grew, with mild winter weather allowing for an earlier start to the northern aggregates shipping season and the beginning of a long-term fly ash remediation project.
Waste and Equipment - Volume increased as a result of strong municipal and construction waste movements from continued ramp up of a new waste transfer station and higher shipments of power-related machinery moves.

Domestic Utility Coal - Volume declined as continued depressed natural gas prices and mild winter weather kept inventory levels high.
Domestic Coke, Iron Ore and Other - Lower volume resulted from an oversupplied coke market driven by softer domestic steel production.
Export Coal - Volume decreased as a result of a strong U.S. dollar and global oversupply which impacted U.S. competitiveness in the world market for both metallurgical and thermal coal.

Domestic - Domestic volume increased 11 percent, driven by customer growth and continued success with CSX’s highway-to-rail conversion program and new service offerings enhanced by service levels and network investment.
International - International volume declined 7 percent, as competitive losses more than offset strength from remaining customers as well as lower prior year comparable volumes resulting from U.S. West Coast port disruptions.

EXPENSE
Expenses decreased $270 million to $1.9 billion year over year, driven by efficiency gains of $133 million and lower volume-related costs of $64 million as CSX reduced its cost structure in the face of the challenging market environment. In addition, the reduction in the price of fuel resulted in an expense decline of $78 million for the quarter. Variances versus the prior year's first quarter are described below.

LABOR AND FRINGE

• | Inflation resulted in $23 million of additional cost driven by increased health and welfare costs.

• | Efficiency savings of $65 million were driven by the Company’s train length initiative which began in the second quarter of prior year, reduced T&E training, structural changes to operating and non-operating support functions, and lower overtime related to service improvements and milder winter weather.

• | Volume-related costs were $39 million lower.

• | Other costs decreased $2 million.

(a) 2015 employee counts were corrected to reflect an earlier omission of approximately 100 employees.

MATERIALS, SUPPLIES AND OTHER

• | Inflation resulted in $10 million of additional cost.

• | Train accidents and casualty costs were $40 million lower as costs per incident for both have declined year over year.

• | Efficiency savings of $35 million were primarily related to lower operating support costs, driven by structural changes, asset reductions, broad cost containment and the impact of a milder winter.

• | Volume-related costs were $8 million lower.

• | Other costs decreased $4 million.

FUEL

• | Locomotive fuel price decreased 36% and reduced expense by $74 million. Non-locomotive fuel price reduced expense by $4 million.

• | Volume-related costs were $22 million lower.

• | Locomotive fuel reduction technology and process improvement, as well as a milder winter, helped drive $14 million of efficiency. Non-locomotive fuel efficiency also resulted in a $6 million reduction.

EQUIPMENT AND OTHER RENTS

• | Inflation resulted in $6 million additional cost related to rates on automotive and intermodal cars.

• | Volume-related costs were $5 million higher due to increases in automotive and intermodal activity.

• | Efficiency savings of $13 million were due to improved car cycle times.

• | Other costs decreased $6 million.

The number of FRA personal injuries and reportable train accidents both decreased on a year over year basis. However, CSX's FRA reportable personal injury frequency index of 0.87 is 9 percent unfavorable year over year due to the significant decline in man-hours, and the FRA train accident rate of 2.53 for the quarter is flat to last year due to the reduction in train miles. The Company remains committed to ongoing improvement, with a focus on avoiding catastrophic events.
CSX’s operating performance represents a significant improvement year-over-year. On-time originations increased to 81 percent and on-time arrivals increased to 64 percent. Average train velocity was 21.1 miles per hour and terminal dwell was 26.0 hours, both an improvement from last year. The Company expects to sustain or improve this level of performance while continuing to drive productivity and resource efficiency.
