CSX Corp. Announces Second Quarter EPS of $0.54
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – July 20, 2022 – CSX Corp. (NASDAQ: CSX) today announced second quarter 2022 net earnings of $1,178 million, or $0.54 per share, compared to $1,173 million, or $0.52 per share in the same period last year. Second quarter 2022 operating income was $1.70 billion compared to $1.69 billion in the prior year period.
“I am very proud of CSX’s entire team of employees, which now includes Pan Am railroaders, for their hard work and dedication over this quarter,” said James M. Foote, president and chief executive officer. “Though volatile commodity prices and persistent inflation have added uncertainty to the economy, our efforts remain focused on adding the resources needed to deliver improvements in our network performance, lift customer satisfaction and develop new rail service solutions to drive meaningful growth over the long term.”
Second Quarter Financial Highlights
•Revenue reached $3.82 billion for the quarter, increasing 28% year-over-year, due to higher revenue in nearly all markets driven by pricing gains, fuel surcharge, and the addition of Quality Carriers.
•Operating income of $1.70 billion increased 1% compared to the prior year. Operating ratio increased to 55.4%, including the effects of lower real estate gains, the acquisition of Quality Carriers and higher fuel prices.
•Diluted EPS of $0.54 increased 4% from $0.52 for the second quarter of 2021.
•Second quarter results included $18 million of expense related to the acquisition of Pan Am Railways and a $122 million gain ($0.04/share after-tax) from property sales recognized from the 2021 agreement with the Commonwealth of Virginia. Second quarter 2021 results included a $349 million gain ($0.12/share after-tax) from the same agreement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(“Pan Am”) which is the parent company of Pan Am Railways, Inc. who jointly owns Pan Am Southern, LLC with a subsidiary of Norfolk Southern Corporation. The closing price of $601 million was funded through a combination of stock valued at $422 million and cash totaling $179 million, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. Total cash consideration includes a $30 million deposit paid in fourth quarter 2020. The acquisition of Pan Am's rail network and joint interest in the Pan Am Southern system expands CSX’s reach in the Northeastern United States. The results of Pan Am's operations and its cash flows were consolidated prospectively beginning June 1, 2022, and are included in the information presented herein unless otherwise noted.

VOLUME AND REVENUE
Total revenue increased 28% in second quarter 2022 when compared to second quarter 2021 primarily due to: the inclusion of Quality Carriers' results, higher fuel recovery, pricing gains that include the benefit of higher export coal benchmark rates, and increases in other revenue.

Fuel Surcharge
Fuel surcharge revenue is included in the individual markets. Fuel lag is the estimated difference between highway diesel prices in the quarter and the prices used for fuel surcharge, which are generally on a two-month lag.

(a) Fuel surcharge revenue does not include amounts for trucking.

Merchandise Volume
Chemicals - Decreased due to lower shipments of crude oil and other energy-related commodities, partially offset by higher shipments of core chemicals.
Agricultural and Food Products - Increased as a result of higher shipments of ethanol and grain.
Minerals - Increased as a result of higher shipments of aggregates and salt.
Automotive - Increased due to higher North American vehicle production as semiconductor availability has improved.
Forest Products - Decreased primarily due to lower shipments of building products.
Metals and Equipment - Decreased primarily due to lower steel shipments, partially offset by higher scrap and equipment shipments.
Fertilizers - Decreased due to declines in short-haul and long-haul phosphate shipments.
Intermodal Volume
Increased international shipments were partially offset by lower domestic shipments due to continued supply-side constraints.
Coal Volume
Export coal decreased due to lower shipments of thermal coal, partially driven by reduced capacity at Curtis Bay coal pier due to the continued outage at a portion of the facility. Domestic coal increased due to higher steel and industrial shipments, partially offset by lower shipments of utility coal including the impacts of limited coal availability during mine disruptions.

EXPENSE
Expenses of $2.1 billion increased $813 million, or 63%, in second quarter 2022 when compared to second quarter 2021.
Labor and Fringe expense increased $88 million due to the following:
•The inclusion of Quality Carriers' operations resulted in increased costs of $40 million.
•Expenses related to hiring and retention programs increased $14 million.
•Incentive compensation decreased $11 million primarily due to higher adjustments for expected payouts in the prior year.
•Inflation and other costs increased $45 million, including $7 million of current year Pan Am acquisition-related costs.
Purchased Services and Other expense increased $206 million due to the following:
•The inclusion of Quality Carriers' operations drove $141 million of additional costs.
•Operating support costs were $42 million higher primarily as a result of inflation, a larger active locomotive fleet and increased intermodal terminal costs.
•Other costs increased $23 million due to current year Pan Am acquisition-related costs of $11 million and other non-significant items.
Fuel increased $252 million primarily resulting from a 92% increase in locomotive fuel prices, the inclusion of non-locomotive fuel used for trucking in the current year and a prior year $18 million benefit related to a state fuel tax matter.
Depreciation and Amortization expense increased $21 million primarily due to a larger asset base, which includes Quality Carriers' assets.
Equipment and Other Rents expense was $8 million higher primarily due to the addition of Quality Carriers' costs.
Gains on Property Dispositions decreased $238 million in the current year primarily due to lower gains recognized related to the sale of property rights as part of the multi-phase agreement with the Commonwealth of Virginia.

OPERATING STATISTICS (Estimated), continued
Key Performance Measures Definitions
Train Velocity - Average train speed between origin and destination in miles per hour (does not include locals, yard jobs, work trains or passenger trains). Train velocity measures the profiled schedule of trains (from departure to arrival and all interim time), and train profiles are periodically updated to align with a changing operation.
Dwell - Average amount of time in hours between car arrival to and departure from the yard.
Cars Online - Average number of active freight rail cars on lines operated by CSX, excluding rail cars that are being repaired, in storage, those that have been sold, or private cars dwelling at a customer location more than one day.
On-Time Originations - Percent of scheduled road trains that depart the origin yard on-time or ahead of schedule.
On-Time Arrivals - Percent of scheduled road trains that arrive at the destination yard on-time to within two hours of scheduled arrival.
Carload Trip Plan Performance - Percent of measured cars destined for a customer that arrive at or ahead of the original estimated time of arrival, notification or interchange (as applicable).
Intermodal Trip Plan Performance - Percent of measured containers destined for a customer that arrive at or ahead of the original estimated time of arrival, notification or interchange (as applicable).
Fuel Efficiency - Gallons of locomotive fuel per 1,000 gross ton-miles.
Revenue Ton-Miles (RTM's) - The movement of one revenue-producing ton of freight over a distance of one mile.
Gross Ton-Miles (GTM's) - The movement of one ton of train weight over one mile. GTM's are calculated by multiplying total train weight by distance the train moved. Total train weight is comprised of the weight of the freight cars and their contents.
FRA Personal Injury Frequency Index - Number of FRA-reportable injuries per 200,000 man-hours.
FRA Train Accident Rate - Number of FRA-reportable train accidents per million train-miles.

NON-GAAP MEASURES (Unaudited)
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Company also uses certain non-GAAP measures that fall within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e), which may provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison to prior reported results. Non-GAAP measures do not have standardized definitions and are not defined by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the Company’s non-GAAP measures are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or as superior to the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to corresponding GAAP measures are below.
Free Cash Flow
Management believes that free cash flow is supplemental information useful to investors as it is important in evaluating the Company’s financial performance. More specifically, free cash flow measures cash generated by the business after reinvestment. This measure represents cash available for both equity and bond investors to be used for dividends, share repurchases or principal reduction on outstanding debt. Free cash flow is calculated by using net cash from operations and adjusting for property additions and proceeds and advances from property dispositions. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than a substitute for, cash provided by operating activities. The following table reconciles cash provided by operating activities (GAAP measure) to free cash flow, before dividends (non-GAAP measure).

(Dollars in millions) | Jun. 30, 2022 | Jun. 30, 2021
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities | $ | 2,530 |  | $ | 2,399 |
Property Additions | (811) |  | (754) |

Other Investing Activities (a) | n/a | (1) |
Free Cash Flow (before payment of dividends) | $ | 1,748 |  | $ | 1,871 |

(a) Effective first quarter 2022, the results of other investing activities will no longer be included in free cash flow. Prior year has not been restated as the change is immaterial.
