CSX 10-K Annual Reports

CSX Corporation reported total revenue of $14.1 billion for the fiscal year ending December 30, 2025, representing a 3% decrease from the previous year. This revenue decline was primarily attributed to lower coal volumes, reduced merchandise shipments, and decreased fuel recovery, partially offset by positive pricing in merchandise and increased intermodal volume. Expenses increased by 3% to $9.6 billion, largely due to higher labor, purchased services, and goodwill impairment charges, leading to a 14% decrease in operating income to $4.5 billion and a compressed operating margin of 32.1%. Consequently, diluted earnings per share fell by 14% to $1.54. Despite the revenue and income pressures, CSX demonstrated resilience in its operational performance, with improvements in train velocity and safety metrics, including a significant reduction in the FRA Personal Injury Frequency Index. The company continued its commitment to shareholder returns through consistent dividend payments and active share repurchases. CSX also maintained a strong liquidity position, with a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility and significant cash on hand, enabling continued investment in its infrastructure and strategic projects, such as the rebuilding of the Blue Ridge subdivision.

CSX Corporation reported revenues of $14.5 billion for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2024, a slight decrease of 1% compared to the previous year.

Operating income saw a 5% decline to $5.2 billion, resulting in earnings per diluted share of $1.79, down 2% year-over-year. The company experienced an increase in operating expenses, largely driven by higher labor and fringe costs due to inflation and increased headcount, alongside higher purchased services and other expenses.

Key drivers for the revenue increase included growth across most merchandise markets, coal, and intermodal segments, bolstered by higher fuel recovery prices and strategic pricing adjustments. Despite a year-over-year decrease in net earnings primarily due to the impact of tax reforms in the prior year, the adjusted figures highlight underlying operational improvements.

Revenue increased by 3% to $11.4 billion, and operating income saw a robust 8% rise to $3.7 billion, resulting in an improved operating ratio of 67.9%. This performance was boosted by gains in export coal and a favorable impact from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which provided a substantial one-time tax benefit.
