CSX Reports Strong Second Quarter Earnings
Surface Transportation Highlights:
• | | Record quarterly revenues, up nearly 5 percent |
• | | Continued growth in core earning power |
Jacksonville, Florida (July 17, 2007) - CSX Corporation [NYSE: CSX] today reported second quarter 2007 earnings of $324 million, or 71 cents per share. Last year the company reported second quarter earnings of $390 million, or 83 cents per share, including a 25 cents per-share gain from insurance recoveries related to Hurricane Katrina and benefits associated with the resolution of certain tax matters. Excluding these items, earnings per share for the second quarter of 2006 were 58 cents. (See table below for reconciliation of quarter items to reported numbers.)
“CSX employees delivered another great quarter with record revenues, strong safety and service performances and increased productivity,” said Michael Ward, chairman, president and CEO. “These results continue to reflect the renaissance in both our industry and our company.
“We are pleased with the value we are creating for our shareholders on a sustained basis,” said Ward. “In the three-years ending June 30, the value of CSX stock nearly tripled from $16.39 to $45.08, placing our growth among the top 5 percent of all stocks in the S&P 500.”
Second quarter revenues were a quarterly record $2.5 billion, a nearly 5 percent increase over the second quarter of 2006. Strong pricing drove revenue-per-unit gains of 7 percent while overall second quarter volume was down approximately 2 percent, compared to last year, reflecting continued softness in the housing- and automotive-related sectors of the economy.
CSX Surface Transportation businesses recorded second quarter operating income of $603 million. Second quarter 2006 operating income was $645 million, including $126 million of insurance recovery gains. On a comparable basis, excluding the insurance recoveries, operating income rose 16 percent in the second quarter 2007.
The sustained pricing momentum achieved by CSX, as well as productivity, safety and service improvements, combined to reduce the Company’s operating ratio to 76.2 percent for the quarter, better than last year’s second quarter on a comparable basis by 240 basis points.
“We remain focused on delivering a compelling value equation for shareholders by continuing to drive double-digit growth in our financial performance,” said Ward. “At the same time, we are committed to managing our capital structure through a balanced approach that includes investments in our vital rail infrastructure for the long-term, share repurchases and dividend increases.”
In the second quarter, CSX repurchased $548 million of its common stock as part of its $3.0 billion share repurchase program. In total, the company has repurchased $727 million and expects to complete the program by the end of 2008. During the second quarter, CSX also announced a 25% increase in the company’s quarterly dividend to $0.15, payable in September to shareholders.

###
GAAP RECONCILIATION1
CSX reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used to manage the company’s business that fall within the meaning of Regulation G (Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) by the Securities and Exchange Commission may provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparisons to prior reported results.
In press releases and presentation slides for stock analysts, CSX has provided Surface Transportation operating income and earnings per share adjusted for certain items, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The company’s management evaluates its business and makes certain operating decisions (e.g., budgeting, forecasting, employee compensation, asset management and resource allocation) using these adjusted numbers.
Likewise, this information facilitates comparisons to financial results that are directly associated with ongoing business operations as well as provides comparable historical information. Lastly, earnings forecasts prepared by stock analysts and other third parties generally exclude the effects of items that are difficult to predict or measure in advance and are not directly related to CSX’s ongoing operations. A reconciliation between GAAP and the non-GAAP measure is provided above. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP measures.
Forward-looking statements
This press release and other statements by the company contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act with respect to, among other items: projections and estimates of earnings, revenues, cost-savings, expenses, or other financial items; statements of management’s plans, strategies and objectives for future operation, and management’s expectations as to future performance and operations and the time by which objectives will be achieved; statements concerning proposed new products and services; and statements regarding future economic, industry or market conditions or performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement. If the company does update any forward-looking statement, no inference should be drawn that the company will make additional updates with respect to that statement or any other forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual performance or results could differ materially from that anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements include, among others: (i) the company’s success in implementing its financial and operational initiatives, (ii) changes in domestic or international economic or business conditions, including those affecting the rail industry (such as the impact of industry competition, conditions, performance and consolidation); (iii) legislative or regulatory changes; (iv) the inherent business risks associated with safety and security; and (v) the outcome of claims and litigation involving or affecting the company.
Other important assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are specified in the company’s SEC reports, accessible on the SEC’s website atwww.sec.gov and the company’s website atwww.csx.com.

REVENUE
Second quarter 2007 Surface Transportation revenue represents more than five years of quarter-over-quarter revenue gains. A favorable pricing environment continued to be the primary driver of revenue gains offsetting weakness in housing construction, domestic automobile production and related markets.
Merchandise
Chemicals – Volumes were flat as gains in inorganic acids used in fertilizer production, chemicals used in the textile industry, and petroleum products were offset by volume declines in chlorine and industrial sand shipments. Revenue and revenue per unit increased due to pricing gains.
Emerging Markets – Revenue and revenue per unit improved through positive mix changes that included an increase in high revenue per-unit shipments in military moves and in the cement market due to higher demand. Aggregate shipments, which include rocks and minerals, declined due to continued weakness in residential construction.
Forest Products – Volume declines in lumber and panel shipments were driven by continued weakness in residential construction. Volumes were also negatively affected by lower paper production and a decrease in domestic newsprint and printing paper consumption. Strong pricing efforts and favorable mix changes led to gains in revenue per unit.
Agricultural Products – Volume increased overall primarily from feed ingredients, vegetable oil, soybeans, and ethanol contributing to favorable revenue and revenue per unit gains. Ethanol continued to be a significant growth driver due to higher demand, while export grain shipments declined due to higher corn prices.
Metals – Steel production decreased due to weakness in the automotive and housing industries, causing a slight decline in shipments. This decline was partially offset by strength in steel exports. Revenue and revenue per unit increased due to continued yield management initiatives.
Phosphates and Fertilizers – While fertilizer shipments rose due in part to higher demand for corn from ethanol producers, these gains were more than offset by volume losses related to several phosphate plant closures. Revenue per unit increased due to yield management initiatives and a reduction in low revenue-per-unit phosphate shipments.
Food and Consumer – Volume declines were driven by decreased demand for wallboard, shingles and other building products as a result of continued weakness in residential construction. Revenue per unit increased driven by continued pricing efforts.
Coal
Favorable pricing efforts and fuel surcharge coverage increases positively impacted revenue and revenue per unit. Volume was down slightly due to declines in utility shipments which were partially offset by the strong demand for export coal. Total tons shipped were up due to a continuing trend to ship more coal per carload.
Automotive
Revenue per unit improved as a result of continued focus on yield management. These gains helped offset volume declines due to continued weakness in automotive production driven by lower sales of trucks and sport utility vehicles.
Other Rail Revenue
The primary driver of this positive change was the increase in business generated by the Company’s short line railroads.
Intermodal
International – Volumes were lower primarily due to the closing of a facility and losses due to select steamship carriers withdrawing from certain markets. Revenue per unit increased due to continued strength in pricing.
Domestic – Volumes increased due to a new shorter-haul train service. The unfavorable mix impact on revenue per unit from this new traffic more than offset price gains in the remaining domestic business.
Other – The primary driver of this revenue decrease was the termination of an agreement relating to the storage of containers and other ancillary services.

EXPENSE
Surface Transportation expenses increased $151 million from last year’s second quarter. Significant variances are described below.
Labor and Fringeexpenses increased $26 million primarily due to the effect of inflation and a newly ratified labor agreement that included performance based compensation. The increases were partially offset by productivity gains from improved operations and lower volume, which resulted in a reduction of train crews.
Materials, Supplies and Other expenses increased $18 million. This increase included higher inflation, allowance for non-freight related receivables and various other items. The increases were offset by a favorable $30 million personal injury reserve adjustment as a result of safety improvements over the past several years.
Depreciation expense increased $5 million. A larger asset base related to higher capital spending was partially offset by lower depreciation rates generated by an asset life study that is required periodically.
Equipment and Other Rents expense decreased $23 million due to lower volumes in certain markets, improvement in asset utilization driven by better operations and the estimation of settlements with other railroads.
Gain on Insurance Recoveriesof $126 million in 2006 was not repeated in the second quarter of 2007 due to timing of cash receipts.

(a) In October 2005, the Association of American Railroads adopted a new dwell calculation in an effort to standardize publicly reported dwell times on the AAR Railroad Performance Measures website. Dwell times in all public documents represent the Company’s historical method for calculating dwell for internal management and analysis. Regardless of which method is used, trends for the two are the same. Dwell times using the AAR calculation were 23.5 and 24.0 hours for the second quarter and six months of 2007, respectively.
