Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts.

Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

"Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Commitments In 2025, CSXT revised and expanded its long-term locomotive agreement with a third party. The new agreement contains commitments related to a long-term maintenance program that covers a portion of CSXT's fleet of locomotives, specific locomotive rebuilds and an agreement to purchase additional locomotives. The maintenance program costs are based on the maintenance cycle for each covered locomotive, which is determined by the asset's utilization and type. Expected future costs may change as required maintenance schedules are revised and locomotives are placed into or removed from active service. The rebuild program costs are based on the condition of locomotive units and the Company's plan for rebuilding existing locomotives. Under CSXTs current obligations, the maintenance agreement will expire no earlier than 2035 and CSXT is contractually committed to locomotive rebuilds through 2029. Additionally, CSXT is contractually obligated to purchase a total of 100 new locomotives between 2026 and 2028. The following table summarizes CSXTs payments, including prepayments, for the long-term maintenance and rebuild program, which covers approximately 1,900 locomotives with payments based on active status during the period. The 2025 payment amount includes a $96 million prepayment for 2026 locomotive maintenance services, which is included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet, as well as $14 million for pre-owned …

"Stock Plans and Share-Based Compensation Under CSX's share-based compensation plans, awards consist of performance units, stock options, and restricted stock units for management and stock grants for directors. Awards granted under the various programs are determined and approved by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards to the Chief Executive Officer are approved by the full Board and awards to senior executives are approved by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee. In certain circumstances, the Chief Executive Officer or delegate approves awards to management employees other than senior executives. The Board of Directors approves awards granted to CSX's non-management directors upon recommendation of the Governance and Sustainability Committee. Share-based compensation expense for awards under share-based compensation plans and purchases made as part of the employee stock purchase plan is measured using the fair value of the award on the grant date and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the respective award. Alternatively, expense is recognized upon death or over an accelerated service period for employees whose agreements allow for continued vesting upon retirement or separation.

Fair value · 10,507 characters as filed
Fair Value Measurements The Financial Instruments Topic in the ASC requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in annual reports as well as in quarterly reports. For CSX, this statement applies to certain investments, pension plan assets, long-term debt and interest rate derivatives. The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic in the ASC clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, including on a non-recurring basis, and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are considered when determining the value of the Company's investments, pension plan assets, long-term debt, interest rate derivatives and long-lived assets. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: Level 1 observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; Level 2 other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including the Companys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in determining the fair value of investments).

Leases · 4,662 characters as filed
Leases At inception, the Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Some of the Companys lease arrangements contain lease components (e.g., minimum rent payments) and non-lease components (e.g., maintenance, labor charges, etc.). The Company generally accounts for each component separately based on the estimated standalone price of each component. For certain equipment leases, such as freight car, vehicles and work equipment, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Certain of the Companys lease agreements include rental payments that are adjusted periodically for an index or rate. The leases are initially measured using the projected payments adjusted for the index or rate in effect at the commencement date. The Companys lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Operating Leases Operating leases are included in right-of-use lease assets, other current liabilities and long-term lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term, discounted using the Companys secured incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. Short-term operating leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not …

"Employee Benefit Plans The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans principally for salaried, management personnel. For employees hired prior to 2003, the plans provide eligible employees with retirement benefits based predominantly on years of service and compensation rates near retirement. For employees hired between 2003 and 2019, benefits are determined based on a cash balance formula, which provides benefits by utilizing interest and pay credits based upon age, service and compensation. The CSX Pension Plan, the largest plan based on benefit obligation, was closed to new participants in 2020. The Company engages independent actuaries to compute the amounts of liabilities and expenses relating to these plans subject to the assumptions that the Company determines are appropriate based on historical trends, current market rates and future projections.

New Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This standard update requires additional disclosures about certain expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The Company is required to adopt the guidance for its 2027 annual report on Form 10-K, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its disclosures, but this standard update will not impact the Company's results of operations or financial position. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This standard update modernizes the capitalization criteria for internal-use software, eliminating references to project stages and instead requiring that projects meet completion probability criteria before costs can be capitalized. This guidance is effective beginning first quarter 2028, though early adoption is permitted, and can be applied using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments but does not anticipate that adoption will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants by Business Entities .
