Jacksonville, Fla. – April 19, 2011 – CSX Corporation (NYSE: CSX) today announced first quarter net earnings of $395 million, or $1.06 per share, versus $305 million, or $0.78 per share, in the same period last year. This represents a 36 percent year-over-year improvement in earnings per share.
“CSX delivered record financial results and achieved growth across nearly all markets in a growing economy,” said Michael J. Ward, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We expect these positive trends to continue, allowing CSX to make critical investments and meet the future transportation needs of our customers and the nation.”
Revenue in the quarter improved 13 percent from the prior year to $2.8 billion, driven primarily by a 7 percent increase in overall volume. Shipments across all major markets – merchandise, intermodal and coal – increased as the economy continued to grow.
The higher revenue coupled with the company’s focus on profitable growth drove a 22 percent increase in operating income to $773 million and a record first quarter operating ratio of 72.5 percent, a 210 basis point improvement year-over-year.
Consistent with prior guidance, CSX expects to deliver a high-sixties operating ratio in 2011, which keeps the company on a path to a 65 percent operating ratio by no later than 2015.
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 and on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

CSX Corporation
VOLUME AND REVENUE
The Company achieved strong year-over-year volume and revenue growth as demand for rail service increased and economic conditions continued to improve. Volume was higher in almost all markets with the greatest volume increases in automotive, emerging markets and intermodal. Ongoing emphasis on pricing above rail inflation, along with higher fuel recovery associated with the increase in fuel prices drove revenue-per-unit increases in most markets.
Merchandise
Agricultural
Agricultural Products – Volume declined as feed shipments were lower year over year primarily due to a surge in exports last year as a result of the drought in South America.
Phosphates and Fertilizers – Domestic demand was strong for fertilizers as farmers increased application to improve crop yields. Export demand was also strong with recovery in exports to Central and South America after last year’s drought.
Food and Consumer – Volume was flat as strength in truckload conversions of refrigerated products (driven by higher fuel prices) and continued consumer demand for alcoholic beverages was offset by lower shipments of canned goods.
|
Industrial
|
Chemicals – Growth occurred across most chemicals markets reflecting improvement in demand for intermediate products used in manufacturing automobiles and consumer goods. Specifically, many plastics and chemicals are key inputs in the production of both durable and nondurable goods, as well as packaging.
Automotive – Strong growth was due to the continued increase in North American light-vehicle production driven by higher sales.
Metals – Volume growth was driven by continued increased shipments of sheet steel for auto production and increases in scrap steel resulting from higher steel production.
|
Housing and Construction
|
Emerging Markets – Volume increased driven by improved shipments of aggregates (which include crushed stone, sand and gravel) and waste as a result of overall market growth due to the improving economy.
Forest Products – Volume increased despite the weakness in construction-related markets with strength in shipments of pulp board and paper used in packaging for consumer products.
Coal
Growth was driven by higher export shipments due to greater demand for U.S. coal in Europe, Asia and South America. Utility coal shipments were weakened as electrical generation declined in the eastern U.S., most significantly in the Southeast. Also contributing to this decline, natural gas prices continued to remain at low levels and utility stockpiles remained at or slightly above normal levels. The increase in revenue per unit was driven by improved yield and positive mix.
Intermodal
Strength in volume was primarily driven by increased customer demand, the improving U.S. economy and new international gains as a result of the intermodal portfolio of service and network offerings. The revenue-per-unit decline was driven by the continued impact of terminating the prior purchase transportation agreement in 2010 and was partially offset by an improved pricing environment and increased fuel recovery due to higher fuel prices.

CSX Corporation
EXPENSE
Expenses increased $178 million from last year’s first quarter. Significant variances are described below.
Labor and Fringe expense increased $36 million primarily due to inflation of $23 million. Volume-related and other expenses were $13 million higher during the quarter.
Materials, Supplies and Other expense increased $11 million due to:
·
|
Volume-related, inflation and other expenses were $31 million higher during the quarter.
|
·
|
Prior year insurance and legal recoveries of $17 million that did not repeat in the current quarter.
|
·
|
Offsetting these increases was reductions of $37 million related to the impact of terminating the prior intermodal purchased transportation agreement in the prior year.
|
Fuel expense increased $119 million primarily due to a 36% increase in average price per gallon as well as higher volume. (See Fuel Statistics table below.)
