CSX CORP Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2025
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 CORP 8-K Report, Financial Obligation (Oct 23, 2025)
CSX Corporation has announced the completion of a public offering of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.050% Notes due 2035. This issuance represents a "tacked on" or "further" issuance, meaning these new notes will be fungible with and form a single series with the previously issued $600 million of the same notes from March 10, 2025. The offering was made under the company's effective shelf registration statement filed earlier in 2025 and was completed on October 19, 2025, with the filing made on October 22, 2025.

CSX CORP 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Oct 22, 2025)
CSX Corporation has announced a significant financing activity through the issuance of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.050% Notes due 2035.

CSX CORP Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2025
CSX Corporation reported a decrease in revenue and a significant increase in expenses for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year. This led to a substantial 20% decline in operating income and a corresponding drop in earnings per diluted share.

Management highlights operational improvements such as increased train velocity and reduced dwell times, alongside strong safety metrics like improved personal injury and train accident rates. The company also announced the appointment of a new CEO, Stephen F. Angel, effective late September 2025. CSX maintains robust liquidity through its credit facilities and cash flow, and continues its commitment to returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, though free cash flow before dividends saw a notable decrease year-over-year due to higher capital expenditures and tax payments.

CSX Corporation reported a decrease in revenue and net earnings for the second quarter and first half of 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024. Revenue declined by 3% in Q2 and 5% for the six-month period, primarily driven by lower coal revenues and reduced merchandise volumes, partially offset by improved pricing in merchandise. Total expenses saw a modest increase of 2% in Q2 and 2% for the six months, impacted by inflation, network disruptions, and higher depreciation, while fuel costs decreased. Consequently, operating income and earnings per diluted share experienced declines. The company continues to prioritize operational efficiency and safety.

The compensation of CSX's named executive officers was also approved on an advisory basis, though with a somewhat lower margin compared to director elections and auditor ratification. This suggests general shareholder satisfaction with executive pay but may warrant continued monitoring.
CSX CORP Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2025
CSX Corporation reported first-quarter 2025 results with a notable decline in revenue and net earnings compared to the prior year. Total revenue decreased by 7% to $3.42 billion, primarily driven by lower coal volumes and reduced fuel recovery, partially offset by strong pricing in merchandise and increased intermodal volume. Net earnings fell 27% to $646 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $0.34, down from $0.45 in the first quarter of 2024. Despite the revenue decline, operating expenses saw a modest 2% increase, leading to a significant 22% drop in operating income and a contraction in the operating margin. Operationally, CSX experienced a slight decrease in volume, with coal volume down 9% and merchandise volume down 2%. However, intermodal volume saw a 2% increase. The company is undertaking significant capital expenditures, including rebuilding the Blue Ridge subdivision after Hurricane Helene, which contributed to higher investing cash outflows. CSX maintained a strong liquidity position with over $1.1 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, supported by its credit facility and commercial paper program.

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.

CSX CORP Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2023
CSX Corporation reported its second-quarter 2023 financial results, showing a decline in revenue and operating income compared to the same period last year. Total revenue decreased by 3% to $3.7 billion, and operating income fell by 13% to $1.5 billion, leading to a slight decrease in earnings per diluted share to $0.49 from $0.54 in the prior year. This performance was impacted by lower intermodal volumes, reduced fuel recovery, and pricing declines in export coal, partially offset by gains in merchandise traffic and higher coal volumes. Despite the top-line pressure, CSX demonstrated operational improvements in metrics like train velocity and dwell time, indicating efficiency gains. The company continued its commitment to shareholder returns through share repurchases and dividend payments, though the pace of repurchases slowed compared to the previous year. CSX maintained a solid liquidity position with a substantial revolving credit facility and sufficient cash on hand to manage its operations and capital expenditures, which are primarily focused on infrastructure sustainment and profitable growth.

Furthermore, CSX has renewed its Change of Control Agreements for executive officers, which largely retain the same compensation and benefit terms as the prior agreements. Key updates include a rolling three-year term with automatic extensions and specific termination protection provisions for executives terminated without cause or for good reason shortly before a change of control. These changes are designed to provide clarity and continued executive retention incentives.
