**CSX Corp. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results**

**JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – January 22, 2026** – CSX Corp. (NASDAQ: CSX) today announced fourth quarter 2025 operating income of $1.11 billion and net earnings of $720 million, or $0.39 per share. Fourth quarter operating income and earnings per share include approximately $50 million and $0.02, respectively, in expenses related to severance and rationalization of specific technology investments. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the company reported operating income of $1.11 billion and net earnings of $733 million, or $0.38 per share. Excluding a pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charge, adjusted operating income was $1.21 billion and adjusted net earnings were $815 million, or $0.42 per share, in the prior year quarter.<sup>1</sup>

"Our quarterly results reflect the subdued industrial demand environment and actions taken to adjust our cost structure," said Steve Angel, president and chief executive officer. "CSX has a strong operational foundation, and we are positioned to deliver improved financial performance in 2026 as we focus on driving productivity, cost control, and capital discipline while continuing to provide safe and reliable service."

**Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights**<sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue totaled $3.51 billion for the quarter, decreasing 1% year-over-year, as the effects of lower merchandise volume and reduced export coal revenue offset higher pricing in merchandise and intermodal, an increase in intermodal volume, and higher fuel surcharge revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating income was $1.11 billion, compared to adjusted operating income of $1.21 billion in the prior year. Operating margin was 31.6%, compared to operating margin of 31.3% and adjusted operating margin of 34.3% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• EPS was $0.39, compared to adjusted EPS of $0.42 in the prior year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fourth quarter operating income and EPS include $50 million and $0.02, respectively, in severance and technology rationalization expense.

**Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights**<sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue totaled $14.09 billion in 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating income was $4.52 billion, and adjusted operating income was $4.69 billion, excluding a $164 million goodwill impairment charge in the third quarter. CSX's operating margin was 32.1% for the full year, and adjusted operating margin was 33.2%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• EPS was $1.54, and adjusted EPS was $1.61.

**About CSX and its Disclosures**

CSX, based in Jacksonville, Florida, is a premier transportation company. It provides rail, intermodal and rail-to-truck transload services and solutions to customers across a broad array of markets, including energy, industrial, construction, agricultural, and consumer products. For nearly 200 years, CSX has played a critical role in the nation's economic expansion and industrial development. Its network connects every major metropolitan area in the eastern United States, where nearly two-thirds of the nation's population resides. It also links more than 240 short-line railroads and more than 70 ocean, river and lake ports with major population centers and farming towns alike.

This announcement, as well as additional financial information, is available on the company's website at http://investors.csx.com. CSX also uses social media channels to communicate information about the company. Although social media channels are not intended to be the primary method of disclosure for material information, it is possible that certain information CSX posts on social media could be deemed to be material. Therefore, we encourage investors, the media, and others interested in the company to review the information we post on X, formerly known as Twitter, (http://twitter.com/CSX) and on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/OfficialCSX). The social media channels used by CSX may be updated from time to time. More information about CSX Corporation and its subsidiaries is available at www.csx.com.

**Non-GAAP Disclosure** 

CSX reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). CSX 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, CSX'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.

**Forward-looking Statements**

This information and other statements by the company may 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, margins, volumes, rates, cost-savings, expenses, taxes, liquidity, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases or other financial items, statements of management's plans, strategies and objectives for future operations, and management's expectations as to future performance and operations and the time by which objectives will be achieved, statements concerning proposed new services, and statements regarding future economic, industry or market conditions or performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as "will," "should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "project," "estimate," "preliminary" 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 updates 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 any forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by any 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, political or business conditions, including those affecting the transportation 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; (v) the outcome of claims and litigation involving or affecting the company; (vi) natural events such as severe weather conditions or pandemic health crises; and (vii) the inherent uncertainty associated with projecting economic and business conditions.

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 at www.sec.gov and the company's website at www.csx.com.

**VOLUME AND REVENUE**

Total revenue decreased 1% in fourth quarter 2025 compared to fourth quarter 2024 due to declines in merchandise volume and a decrease in export coal revenue, including the impact of lower benchmark rates. These decreases were partially offset by higher pricing in merchandise, growth in intermodal, and increased fuel recovery.

***Fuel Surcharge***

Fuel surcharge revenue is included in the individual markets and does not include amounts for trucking. Fuel lag is the estimated revenue effect resulting from the difference between highway diesel prices in the quarter and the prices used for fuel surcharge, which are on a two-month lag for non-intermodal traffic.

***Merchandise Volume***

<u>Chemicals</u> - Decreased due to lower shipments of plastics, natural gas liquids, crude oil, and other industrial chemicals.

<u>Agricultural and Food Products</u> - Decreased primarily due to lower shipments of export grains, as well as lower shipments of food and consumer products, partially offset by higher shipments of domestic feed grain and ingredients.

<u>Minerals</u> - Increased primarily due to higher shipments of aggregates and cement.

<u>Automotive</u> - Decreased due to lower North American vehicle production, which includes the impact from limited parts availability for key customers.

<u>Forest Products</u> - Decreased due to lower shipments of pulp and paper products, which includes the impact of both temporary outages and customer plant closures, as well as lower shipments of building products.

<u>Metals and Equipment</u> - Increased scrap and pipe shipments were offset by lower aluminum and steel shipments, which includes the impact of customer plant closures, as well as lower equipment shipments.

<u>Fertilizers</u> - Increased due to higher short-haul phosphates shipments, which were lower in the prior year due to reduced production at customer locations impacted by hurricanes.

***Intermodal Volume***

Domestic shipments increased, despite the impacts of a continued soft trucking environment, due to wins with key customers and new service offerings. International shipments increased driven by growth with key customers.

***Coal Volume***

Domestic coal increased due to higher shipments to utility plants, partially offset by lower shipments to steel manufacturing locations and lake terminals. Export coal decreased due to lower shipments of thermal coal, partially offset by higher shipments of metallurgical coal despite a derailment that temporarily impacted port access.

***Trucking Revenue***

Trucking revenue increased $2 million versus the prior year due to higher revenue for ancillary services.

***Other Revenue***

Other revenue decreased $7 million primarily due to decreases in revenue for intermodal storage and equipment usage.

**CSX Corporation**

**EXPENSE**

Expenses of $2.4 billion decreased $35 million, or 1%, in fourth quarter 2025 when compared to fourth quarter 2024.

<u>Labor and Fringe</u> expense increased $47 million due to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Incentive compensation costs increased $32 million primarily due to downward accrual adjustments in the prior year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Employee separation costs were $31 million in the current year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An increase of $19 million was due to inflation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A decrease of $35 million was driven by lower headcount and overtime, as well as other non-significant items.

<u>Purchased Services and Other</u> expense increased $45 million due to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An increase of $25 million was due to higher derailment costs and higher casualty costs related to trucking.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Current year results include $21 million of technology impairments compared to $24 million of technology and non-rail equipment impairments in 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Prior year results included $20 million from a favorable legal settlement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All other net costs increased $3 million primarily due to inflation and other net increases that were largely offset by efficiency savings.

<u>Depreciation</u> expense decreased $18 million primarily due to asset retirements and impairments, partially offset by an increase to the asset base.

<u>Fuel</u> expense increased $4 million as a 4% increase in locomotive fuel prices was partially offset by lower gross-ton-miles and improved efficiency.

<u>Equipment and Other Rents</u> expense decreased $5 million primarily due to equipment rental costs, as net car hire costs were flat.

<u>Goodwill Impairment</u> expense for Quality Carriers was $108 million in 2024.

Certain operating statistics are estimated and can continue to be updated as actuals settle. The methodology for calculating train velocity, dwell, cars online and trip plan performance differs from that used by the Surface Transportation Board. The Company will continue to report these metrics to the Surface Transportation Board using the prescribed methodology.

**NON-GAAP MEASURES** *(Unaudited)*

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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 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.

***<u>Adjusted Operating Results</u>***

Management believes that adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net earnings, and adjusted net earnings per share, assuming dilution are important in evaluating the Company's performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations and future profitability. These non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding operating results because they exclude the non-cash impairment of Quality Carriers' goodwill, which was fully impaired as of September 30, 2025. This is a significant item that is not considered indicative of future financial trends. The goodwill impairment was tax effected using rates reflective of the applicable tax amounts related to the impairment charge. These adjusted results should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP operating results.

The following tables reconcile the Company's GAAP operating results for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 to adjusted operating results (non-GAAP measures).

***<u>Economic Profit</u>***

Management believes Economic Profit provides an additional perspective to investors about financial returns generated by the business by representing a measure showing profit generated over and above the cost of capital used by the business to generate that profit. Economic Profit is designed to incentivize strategic investments that earn more than management's desired minimum required return and is broadly utilized by management to make investment decisions. Therefore, disclosing Economic Profit on how management performs in this regard provides additional useful information to investors regarding the Company's performance compared to its goals.

Economic Profit should be considered in addition to, rather than a substitute for, operating income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Economic Profit is defined by the Company as Gross Cash Earnings ("GCE") minus the Capital Charge on Gross Operating Assets ("GOA"). Increases in Economic Profit indicate that the Company is effectively allocating capital and rewarding shareholders by generating returns in excess of the incremental cost of capital associated with reinvestment in the business.

GCE is calculated as operating income plus depreciation, amortization and operating lease expense, less unusual items and taxes. The Capital Charge uses a minimum required return multiplied by the GOA. CSX's GOAs include gross properties and other non-cash assets, net of non-interest bearing liabilities. The Company used a 15% tax rate and an 8% required return, for both periods presented, which is consistent with rates used for investment decisions and performance evaluation within those same periods. The tax rate is the approximate equivalent of the Company's actual income tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax GCE. The required return rate represents management's desired minimum return on any investment. CSX annually re-evaluates these rates to ensure they accurately represent taxes and a required return in light of internal and external factors and would adjust the rate if the annual review resulted in a preset deviation from the current rates. This focuses the Economic Profit measure on value generated by management instead of external factors, such as legislative tax policy or interest rate volatility. The following table reconciles operating income (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) to Economic Profit (non-GAAP measure).

*(a) Unusual items are defined by management as unique events with greater than $100 million full year operating income impact, consistent with the terms of the Company's long-term incentive plan agreements. Impairments of the goodwill of Quality Carriers were unusual items for 2025 and 2024.*

*(b) The tax percentage rate was 15% for both periods presented. This rate is applied to the sum of operating income, depreciation, amortization and operating lease expense, and unusual items.* 

*(c) Non-interest bearing liabilities represents all liabilities excluding debt, long-term lease liabilities, and commercial paper ($75 million of commercial paper was outstanding in other current liabilities as of June 30, 2025, and none outstanding in any other period).*

*(d) Gross operating assets reflects an average of the year-to-date quarters reported for each year presented.* 

*(e) The capital charge of 8% for both years is calculated as the minimum return multiplied by gross operating assets.*

***<u>Free Cash Flow</u>***

Management believes that free cash flow ("FCF") is supplemental information useful to investors as it is important in evaluating the Company's financial performance. More specifically, FCF 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. FCF is calculated by using net cash from operations and adjusting for property additions and proceeds and advances from property dispositions. FCF 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 FCF, before dividends (non-GAAP measure).
