CSX Announces Third Quarter Earnings
 
Third Quarter Highlights:

·  
Earnings per share of 74 cents and operating income of $598 million
·  
Operating ratio of 73.9 percent, a third quarter record
·  
Strong safety and service performance

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., (Oct. 13, 2009) – CSX Corporation [NYSE: CSX] today announced third quarter earnings from continuing operations of $293 million, or 74 cents a share, versus $380 million, or 93 cents a share, in the same period last year.

Third quarter revenues of $2.3 billion were down 23 percent from the prior year, primarily due to a 15 percent decline in volume and lower fuel surcharge recovery. At the same time, core pricing remained strong and consistent with prior quarters, reflecting high service levels and the overall value of rail transportation.  While volumes declined across the business, the rate of decline continued to slow in nearly all markets compared to the second quarter.

“The third quarter reinforces our view that the worst of the recession is likely behind us,” said Michael J. Ward, chairman, president and chief executive officer.  “At the same time, our coal business will be impacted by weak demand well into 2010.”

CSX continued to improve its network efficiency and safety while reducing operating costs by 24 percent compared to the same period last year. As a result of these efforts and a sustained focus on yield management, CSX produced operating income of $598 million and a third quarter record operating ratio of 73.9 percent.

“The CSX team is clearly demonstrating that it can achieve excellence in any environment,” said Ward.  “As the economy regains strength, we are emerging as a stronger, leaner company in an industry that is positioned to grow over the long term.”

CSX Corporation, based in Jacksonville, Fla., is a leading transportation company providing rail, intermodal and rail-to-truck transload services. The company’s transportation network spans approximately 21,000 miles with service to 23 eastern states and the District of Columbia, and connects to more than 70 ocean, river and lake ports.

This earnings announcement, as well as a package of detailed financial information, is contained in the CSX Quarterly Financial Report available on the company's website at http://investors.csx.com in the Investors section and on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

OTHER INCOME – NET (Unaudited)

CSX Corporation

REVENUE
 
CSX experienced another quarter of significant year-over-year volume and revenue declines caused by the broad-based weakness in the economy.  The greatest volume declines occurred in coal, automotive, construction and consumer-related markets.  Lower fuel recovery associated with the sharp decline in fuel prices more than offset the Company’s ongoing yield management initiatives.  Compared to the second quarter, the rate of volume decline moderated during third quarter 2009.
 
Rail

Merchandise

The merchandise business is the most diverse market and includes aggregates, metal, phosphate, fertilizer, food, consumer, agricultural, paper and chemical products.  Continued weakness in the housing and construction, automotive and consumer goods markets has significantly reduced demand for most merchandise markets.  Additional information on other drivers is provided below.

Metals - The largest decline in volume was experienced in metals driven by weak global and domestic steel demand in the automotive and construction industries.  The decline in demand moderated during the quarter due to low inventories and an improvement in automotive production.

Agricultural Products - Volume was down slightly as the continuing growth in ethanol was more than offset by lower production of poultry which negatively impacted the feed grain, soybean and feed ingredient markets.

Phosphates and Fertilizers – Strong demand for export phosphate was more than offset by declines in domestic shipments.  Additionally, farmers are continuing to cut back on levels of phosphate and potash application in reaction to lower commodity prices for grain.

Coal

Volume declines were driven by lower demand from electric utilities and a weaker export market.  The demand for domestic electrical generation from coal was down due to natural gas substitution and lower industrial production resulting in a further building of utility stockpiles to record levels.  Current inventories represent over two times the monthly rate of consumption.  As a result, utility coal demand is expected to remain weak well into 2010.  The export market decline was a result of both lower steel production in Europe reducing the need for metallurgical coal (coal used to produce steel), and cheaper alternative global sources for European utilities.

Automotive

Revenue and volume were down as lower consumer demand and inventory corrections within the auto industry reduced new car production.  Volume improved slightly compared to the prior quarter as the Cash for Clunkers program, a part of the government stimulus plan that has ended, helped spur sales.

Intermodal

International – Volume continued to be down due to both weak imports and exports. However, volume improved throughout the quarter due to some signs of stabilization and slight improvement in the global economy. Revenue-per-unit was lower on significantly decreased fuel recovery, partially offset by contract price increases.

Domestic – Volume was up as continued truck conversion and expanded service offerings helped offset the decline in other segments of the domestic market.  Revenue-per-unit was lower on decreased fuel recovery and a continued competitive truck pricing environment.

CSX Corporation

 
EXPENSE

Expenses decreased $537 million from last year’s quarter.  Significant variances are described below.

Labor and Fringe expense decreased $101 million. This decrease was primarily driven by labor productivity initiatives, such as employee furloughs and reduced crew overtime, and lower incentive compensation.  These decreases were partially offset by inflation and cycling of favorable prior year items.

Materials, Supplies and Other expense decreased $140 million. This decrease was due to the current year decline in volume-related expenses, prior year storm and proxy-related items not repeated in the current year. Additional savings were realized through improved safety and various other items, the majority of which were favorable current quarter items that are not expected to repeat next quarter.

Fuel expense decreased $285 million primarily due to lower fuel prices and lower volume.

Equipment and Other Rents expense decreased $14 million primarily due to cost savings associated with lower volume.
