CSX REPORTS STRONG SECOND QUARTER 2005 EARNINGS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 27, 2005 — CSX Corporation (NYSE: CSX) today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2005.
| | |
· | | Net earnings were $165 million, or $.73 per share, a 38 percent increase in per-share earnings from the quarter a year ago. The 2005 results included after-tax debt repurchase expenses of $123 million, or $.54 per share, partially offset by a state income tax benefit of $71 million, or $.31 per share, for a net decrease of $.23 per share in the quarter. |
· | | Surface Transportation revenue increased more than 8 percent to $2.2 billion, producing the 13th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth. |
· | | Surface Transportation produced record operating income of $422 million, an increase of $142 million over last year’s quarter. |
“This was our sixth consecutive quarter of core earnings growth,” said Michael J. Ward, CSX Corporation chairman, president and chief executive officer. “It was also the second consecutive quarter of record operating income in Surface Transportation, reflecting overall strength in our markets and an increased focus on productivity.
“In the foreseeable future, we expect a continuation of favorable economic conditions, industry growth and a strong pricing environment. At the same time, CSX is taking the necessary steps to improve service for our customers and drive long-term growth for our shareholders.”
Surface Transportation revenue was $2.2 billion, increasing $169 million from the same quarter last year. This improvement was led by strength in the coal and merchandise markets, which produced 22 percent and 7 percent year- over-year revenue gains, respectively. Revenue also included $17 million from a rate case settlement.
Surface Transportation operating income of $422 million compares to $280 million in the second quarter of 2004, a period that included a $15 million management restructuring charge. On a comparable basis, Surface Transportation operating income increased by $127 million, up 43 percent.
Also in the quarter, CSX repurchased $1 billion of its debt, which strengthened the company’s balance sheet, reduced its interest expense going forward, and improved its credit profile. This resulted in a $123 million after-tax expense, primarily reflecting the increase in current market value of the repurchased debt above the original issue value.
The State of Ohio enacted legislation to repeal its Corporate Franchise Tax, which was based on federal taxable income. This resulted in an income tax benefit of $71 million in the quarter. In addition, other income was up $25 million versus the prior year due to higher real estate sales and interest income.
CSX’s detailed financial information is contained in its Quarterly Flash document, which will be posted onwww.csx.com, and filed on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
CSX executives will provide additional perspective on the company and future opportunities at its previously announced Investors and Financial Analysts Conference at the New York Stock Exchange on August 11, 2005. For more information on this event, visitwww.csx.com. and click on “Investors”.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The Consolidated Balance Sheets and Cash Flow Statements have been summarized for this presentation. All statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Quarterly Report to be filed on Form 10-Q.
(a) | | In the second quarter and six months of 2004, the Company recorded $15 million pretax and $68 million pretax, respectively, for separation expenses related to the management restructuring announced in November 2003 at the Company’s Surface Transportation units. Earnings per share was negatively impacted in the second quarter and six months of 2004 by $.04 and $.19, respectively. |
(b) | | In the second quarter of 2005, CSX repurchased $1 billion of outstanding debt. CSX recognized $192 million of costs to repurchase the debt, which primarily reflects the increase in current market value above original issue value. Earnings per share decreased $.54 as a result of this transaction. |
(c) | | In the second quarter of 2005, Ohio enacted legislation to gradually eliminate its corporate franchise tax. This legislative change resulted in an income tax benefit of $71 million and an earnings per share increase of $.31 associated with eliminating deferred income tax liabilities. |
(d) | | In the first quarter of 2005, CSX sold its International Terminals business for closing cash consideration of $1.142 billion, subject to final working capital and long-term debt adjustments that have yet to be determined. CSX recognized income of $683 million pretax, $428 million after tax, as a result of the sale. Also included in Discontinued Operations is the after-tax loss on operations of the International Terminals business of $3 million for the first quarter of 2005. Earnings per share increased $1.88 as a result of this transaction. |

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION OPERATING RESULTS
REVENUE
Merchandise
Second quarter 2005 results represent the 13th consecutive quarter of year-over-year merchandise revenue growth, as well as record revenue-per-car results. All markets experienced quarter-over-quarter revenue and revenue-per-car gains as a result of continued yield management and fuel surcharge. Efforts to increase price and fuel surcharge customer coverage continue across all lines of business. CSX experienced slight volume declines in five of seven markets. However emerging markets and food and consumer, both of which include new business opportunities, delivered quarter-over-quarter volume growth.
• | | Phosphates and Fertilizers— Volume fell as a result of lower rail shipments of export and domestic phosphate and potash. Reduced fertilizer application lowered domestic phosphate demand by nearly 10%. International phosphate producer inventories were at a 10-year high at the end of March, which led to lower export phosphate shipments in April and early May. |
• | | Metals— Overall demand was unfavorable quarter over quarter due to weakness in scrap and sheet metal resulting from high inventories in both markets. Volume was favorable quarter over quarter in semi-finished products and structural steel. Price increases coupled with asset prioritization focus resulted in revenue-per-car increases of 16%. |
• | | Forest Products— A quarter-over-quarter drop in newsprint demand, from conversion to electronic media and the use of lighter papers, more than offset the favorable impact from the continued strong housing market. |
• | | Food and Consumer— Volume was favorable quarter over quarter due to strength in the movement of transportation equipment, such as new freight cars, alcoholic beverages and canned goods. Aggressive yield management resulted in significant revenue per car increases. |
• | | Agricultural Products— The large corn crop harvested in 2004 continues to allow feed mills in the east to draw on local supplies, resulting in reduced traffic. Agriculture exports and ethanol shipments continued to show quarter-over-quarter strength. |
• | | Chemicals— Unfavorable quarter-over-quarter volume was driven by high raw materials inventories and energy prices. Reduced automotive production has unfavorably impacted raw material shipments for tires, specialty plastic and automotive glass. |
• | | Emerging Markets— Volume was favorable quarter over quarter due to strong demand for shipments in lime, waste and aggregates lines of business. Military shipments were down quarter over quarter due to fewer military equipment deployments. |
Automotive
Volume was down 8% as vehicle production by traditional domestic manufacturers was unfavorable by 10% quarter over quarter. Overall, North American light vehicle production was unfavorable by 1% quarter over quarter. Field inventory levels were down 14 days quarter over quarter to 58 days, which remains at or slightly above target levels. Volume declines from GM permanently closing three plants served by CSX, were partially offset by rail shipments beginning at the CSX-served Montgomery, AL, Hyundai plant.
Coal, Coke and Iron Ore
Record revenue and revenue-per-car levels were achieved for the quarter. Strong demand continues across coal sub-markets, with a mild softening noted only in steel related traffic. Utility inventories remain below target levels intensifying the demand for coal shipments. The Company reached a settlement agreement in a rate case, that resulted in an additional $17 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2005.
Intermodal
• | | Domestic —The Network Simplification Initiative (NSI) reduced train starts and, therefore, had an unfavorable impact on volume. Implemented in the third quarter of 2004, NSI will no longer unfavorably impact quarter over quarter comparisons of volume and revenue. Continued re-pricing and improved cargo selection coupled with tight capacity across all modes of transportation partially offset volume reduction. |
• | | International —Second quarter volumes remained essentially flat due to sustained focus on eliminating less profitable traffic. Price increases were offset by unfavorable traffic mix changes. |
• | | Other —Higher fuel surcharge rates and increased customer coverage, terminal storage charge increases and a reduction in volume refund incentives drove favorable quarter over quarter revenue comparisons. |

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION OPERATING RESULTS, Continued
EXPENSE
Labor and Fringeexpenses increased $42 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus the prior year quarter. Higher incentive compensation costs are the primary driver of the higher expense as well as the effects of inflation.
Materials, Supplies and Otherexpenses increased $5 million quarter over quarter. The change is primarily due to inflation and increased legal fees which were mostly offset by a supplier cost reimbursement.
Depreciationincreased $46 million for the second quarter of 2005, which is mainly attributable to the Conrail spin-off transaction completed in the third quarter of 2004, as assets previously leased from Conrail are now owned directly by CSX, as well as higher expenses resulting from an increase in the asset base.
Fuelincreased $25 million for the quarter versus the prior year due to higher fuel prices, net of hedging benefits. Also, recoveries from last year associated with foreign line fuel billing settlements were not repeated. This was partially offset by lower volume and efficiency gains.
Building and Equipment Rentdecreased $7 million for the quarter primarily due to decreased overall volume.
Inland Transportationdecreased $6 million primarily due to decreased Intermodal volume related to the Network Simplification Initiative, which reduced train starts beginning in the third quarter of 2004.
Conrail Rents, Fees and Servicesdecreased $63 million for the quarter primarily due to the Conrail spin-off transaction completed in the third quarter of 2004. This transaction decreased rents paid to Conrail, as assets previously leased from Conrail are now owned directly by CSX.
Restructuring Chargeof $15 million represents the 2004 charge for separation expenses related to the management restructuring announced in November 2003 at the Company’s Surface Transportation units.
