CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position of CSX Corporation and subsidiaries (“CSX” or the “Company”) at March 28, 2003 and December 27, 2002, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, such adjustments being of a normal recurring nature. Certain prior-year data have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation.

 

The Company believes that the disclosures presented are accurate and not misleading, and suggests that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report and Form 10-K.

 

CSX follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar. Fiscal years 2003 and 2002 consist of 52 weeks ending on December 26, 2003 and December 27, 2002, respectively. The financial statements presented are for the 13-week quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, and as of December 27, 2002.

 

Comprehensive income approximates net earnings for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated income statements.

 

NOTE 2.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings per share and earnings per share, assuming dilution:

Earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Earnings per share, assuming dilution, are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding, mainly arising from employee stock options. Potentially dilutive common shares at CSX include stock options and awards, and common stock that would be issued relating to convertible long-term debt. During the quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, no shares and 0.7 million shares, respectively, were issued for options exercised.

NOTE 2.    EARNINGS PER SHARE, Continued

 

Certain potentially dilutive common shares at March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002 were not included in the computation of earnings per share, assuming dilution, since their exercise or conversion prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period and, therefore, their effect is antidilutive. These potentially dilutive common shares were as follows:

A substantial increase in the fair market value of the Company’s stock price could negatively impact earnings per share if the 34 million shares were to become dilutive.

 

NOTE 3.    DIVESTITURES

 

On February 27, 2003, CSX conveyed most of its interest in its domestic container-shipping subsidiary, CSX Lines LLC (“CSX Lines”), to a new venture formed with the Carlyle Group for approximately $300 million (gross cash proceeds of approximately $240 million, $214 million net of transaction costs, and $60 million of securities). CSX Lines was subsequently renamed Horizon Lines LLC (“Horizon”). Horizon has subleased equipment from CSX covering CSX’s primary financial obligations related to $319 million of vessel and equipment leases under which CSX will remain a lessee. A deferred pretax gain of approximately $127 million as a result of the transaction will be recognized over the 12 year sub-lease term. Less than $1 million of this gain was recognized in the first quarter. The $60 million of securities have a term of 7 years and a preferred return feature. CSX will account for the investment under the cost method.

 

NOTE 4.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGES

 

In 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” was issued. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. In conjunction with the group-life method of accounting for asset costs, the Company historically accrued crosstie removal costs as a component of depreciation, which is not permitted under SFAS 143. With the adoption of SFAS 143 in the first quarter of 2003, CSX recorded pretax income of $93 million, $57 million after tax, or 26 cents per share, as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, representing the reversal of the accrued liability for crosstie removal costs. The adoption of SFAS 143 did not have a material effect on prior reporting periods, and the Company does not believe it will have a material effect on future earnings. On an ongoing basis, depreciation expense will be reduced, while labor and fringe and materials, supplies and other expense will be increased.

NOTE 4.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGES, Continued

 

In December 2002, SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” was issued. SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition to Statement 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and require disclosure of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Effective beginning with fiscal year 2003, CSX has voluntarily adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of SFAS 123.” In accordance with the prospective method of adoption permitted under SFAS 148, any future stock-based compensation will be accounted for under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation method and, accordingly, will be expensed.

 

In 2002, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard Interpretation (“FASI”) No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” This statement requires that certain guarantees entered into be recorded at fair value on the balance sheet and additional disclosures be made about guarantees. CSX is required to adopt the accounting provisions of this statement in fiscal year 2003.

 

In 2001, SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” was issued. Under the provisions of SFAS 142, goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized, but are reviewed for impairment on a periodic basis. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2002, and incurred a pretax charge of $83 million, $43 million after tax and consideration of minority interest, 20 cents per share, as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, which represents the difference between book value and the fair value of indefinite lived intangible assets. These indefinite lived intangible assets are permits and licenses that the Company holds relating to a proposed pipeline to transfer natural gas from Alaska’s north slope to the port in Valdez, Alaska. The fair value was determined using a discount method of projected future cash flows relating to these assets. The carrying value of these assets is now approximately $3 million. The adoption of SFAS 142 did not have a material effect on prior reporting periods, and it will not have a material effect on future earnings.

 

NOTE 5.    INVESTMENT IN AND INTEGRATED RAIL OPERATIONS WITH CONRAIL

 

Background

 

CSX and Norfolk Southern Corporation (“Norfolk Southern”) acquired Conrail Inc. (“Conrail”) in May 1997. Conrail owns the primary freight railroad system serving the Northeastern United States, and its rail network extends throughout several Midwestern states and into Canada. CSX and Norfolk Southern, through a jointly owned acquisition entity, hold economic interests in Conrail of 42% and 58%, respectively, and voting interests of 50% each. CSX and Norfolk Southern operate over allocated portions of the Conrail lines.

 

The rail subsidiaries of CSX and Norfolk Southern operate their respective portions of the Conrail system pursuant to various operating agreements. Under these agreements, the railroads pay operating fees to Conrail for the use of right-of-way and rent for the use of equipment. Conrail continues to provide rail services in certain shared geographic areas (“Shared Asset Areas”) for the joint benefit of CSX and Norfolk Southern, for which it is compensated on the basis of usage by the respective railroads.

The agreement under which CSX operates its allocated portion of the Conrail route system has an initial term of 25 years and may be renewed at CSX’s option for two five-year terms. Operating fees paid to Conrail under the agreement are subject to adjustment every six years based on the fair value of the underlying system. Lease agreements for the Conrail equipment operated by CSX cover varying terms. CSX is responsible for all costs of operating, maintaining, and improving the routes and equipment under these agreements.

NOTE 6.    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

Sale of Accounts Receivable

 

CSX Transportation Inc. (“CSXT”) sells, generally without recourse, a revolving pool of accounts receivable to CSX Trade Receivables Corporation (“CTRC”), a bankruptcy-remote (special purpose) entity wholly-owned by CSX Corporation. CTRC transfers the accounts receivable to a master trust and causes the trust to issue certificates representing undivided interests in the receivables, which are sold to investors for proceeds.

 

Two series of certificates issued by the trust were outstanding as of March 28, 2003 and December 27, 2002. One series issued in 1998 for $300 million to the public matures in June 2003 and bears interest payable to the investors at 6% annually. A second series in the amount of $200 million was issued to a private special purpose entity in 2000, which funded the purchase through a bank-supported commercial paper program. This second series of certificates was issued for a one-year maturity, and as currently amended matures in June 2003 as well. The private series of certificates bears interest at a floating rate based upon the program’s commercial paper rates. The yield on the private certificates at March 28, 2003 was 1.33%.

 

Accounts receivable related amounts for the current period are as follows:

NOTE 6.    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, Continued

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the expected collectibility of all accounts receivable, including receivables transferred to the master trust that could be subsequently sold to outside parties with recourse. The allowance for doubtful accounts is included in the balance sheet as follows:

These agreements were entered for interest rate risk exposure management purposes and mature at the time the related notes are due. Under these agreements, the Company will pay variable interest based on LIBOR in exchange for a fixed rate, effectively transforming the notes to floating rate obligations. Accordingly, the instruments qualify, and are designated, as fair value hedges.

NOTE 9.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, Continued

 

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item, in this case long-term fixed rate notes, attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings during the period of change in fair values. The accounting for hedge effectiveness is measured at least quarterly based on the relative change in fair value between the derivative contract and the hedged item over time. Any change in fair value resulting from ineffectiveness, as defined by SFAS 133, “Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” is recognized immediately in earnings. The Company’s interest rate swaps qualify as perfectly effective fair value hedges, as defined by SFAS 133. As such, there was no ineffective portion to the hedge recognized in earnings during the current or prior year periods. Long-term debt has been increased by $85 million and $78 million for the fair market value of the interest rate swap agreements at March 28, 2003 and December 27, 2002, respectively.

 

The differential to be paid or received under these agreements is accrued based on the terms of the agreements and is recognized in interest expense over the term of the related debt. The related amounts payable to, or receivable from, counterparties are included in other current liabilities or assets. Cash flows related to interest rate swap agreements are classified as “Operating Activities” in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. For the three month periods ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, the Company reduced interest expense by approximately $11 million and $7 million, respectively, as a result of the interest rate swap agreements that were in place during that period.

 

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to the interest rate swap agreements. However, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.

 

NOTE 10.  STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

Effective beginning with fiscal year 2003, CSX has voluntarily adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of SFAS 123.” In accordance with the prospective method of adoption permitted under SFAS 148, any future stock-based compensation will be accounted for under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation method and, accordingly, will be expensed.

NOTE 11.  CASUALTY, ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER RESERVES

 

Casualty Reserves

 

Casualty reserves represent accruals for the uninsured portion of personal injury, occupational injury (asbestos, carpal tunnel, etc.) and accident claims. These reserves are recorded upon the first reporting of an incident, and estimates are updated as information develops. The amount of liability accrued is based on the type and severity of claim, and an estimate of future claims development based on current trends and historical data. The Company believes it has recorded liabilities in sufficient amounts to cover all identified claims and estimates of incurred but not reported personal injury and accident claims. Unreported occupational injuries are not subject to reasonable estimation, thus no provision is made for incurred but not reported occupational injuries. Accruals for occupational injury, personal injury and accident liabilities amount to $603 million and $605 million at March 28, 2003 and December 27, 2002, respectively.

 

Environmental Reserves

 

CSX is a party to various proceedings involving private parties and regulatory agencies related to environmental issues. CSXT has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at approximately 90 environmentally impaired sites that are, or may be, subject to remedial action under the Federal Superfund statute (“Superfund”) or similar state statutes. A number of these proceedings are based on allegations that CSXT, or its railroad predecessors, sent hazardous substances to the facilities in question for disposal. Such proceedings arising under Superfund or similar state statutes can involve numerous other waste generators and disposal companies and seek to allocate or recover costs associated with site investigation and cleanup, which could be substantial.

 

CSXT is involved administrative and judicial proceedings, and other clean-up efforts at approximately 210 sites, which include the 90 Superfund sites noted above where it is participating in the study or clean-up of alleged environmental contamination. At least once each quarter, CSXT reviews its role, if any, with respect to each such location, giving consideration to a number of factors, including the nature of CSXT’s alleged connection to the location (e.g., generator of waste sent to the site, or owner or operator of the site), the extent of CSXT’s alleged connection (e.g., volume of waste sent to the location and other relevant factors), the accuracy and strength of evidence connecting CSXT to the location, and the number, connection, and financial viability of other named and unnamed PRPs at the location.

 

Based on the review process, CSXT has recorded reserves to cover estimated contingent future environmental costs with respect to such sites. The recorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs at March 28, 2003, and December 27, 2002 were $35 million. These liabilities, which are undiscounted, include amounts representing CSXT’s estimate of unasserted claims, which CSXT believes to be immaterial. The liability includes future costs for all sites where the Company’s obligation is (1) deemed probable and (2) where such costs can be reasonably estimated. The liability includes future costs for remediation and restoration of sites as well as any significant ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any anticipated insurance recoveries. The majority of the March 28, 2003 environmental liability is expected to be paid out over the next seven years, funded by cash generated from operations.

Table of Contents

CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

 

 

NOTE 11.  CASUALTY, ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER RESERVES, Continued

 

The Company does not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of additional liabilities, if any, on some sites until completion of future environmental studies. In addition, latent conditions at any given location could result in exposure, the amount and materiality of which cannot presently be reliably estimated. Based upon information currently available, however, the Company believes its environmental reserves are adequate to accomplish remedial actions to comply with present laws and regulations, and that the ultimate liability for these matters will not materially affect its overall results of operations and financial condition.

 

NOTE 12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Purchase Commitments

 

The Company has a commitment under a long-term maintenance program for approximately 40% of CSXT’s fleet of locomotives. The agreement expires in 2026 and totals $2.7 billion. The long-term maintenance program assures CSX access to efficient, high-quality locomotive maintenance services at fixed price levels through the term of the program. Under the program, CSX paid $33 million and $31 million in the quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, respectively.

 

Self-Insurance

 

The Company obtains substantial amounts of commercial insurance for potential losses for third-party liability and property damages. Reasonable levels of risk (up to $35 million for property and $25 million for liability per occurrence) are retained on a self-insurance basis. Using a combination of third-party and self-insurance allows the Company to realize savings on insurance premium costs and preserves flexibility in achieving the best insurance solutions for various categories of risk.

 

Guarantees

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are contingently liable individually and jointly with others as guarantors of obligations principally relating to leased equipment, joint ventures and joint facilities used by CSX in its business operations. Utilizing a CSX guarantee for these obligations allows CSX to take advantage of lower interest rates and obtain other favorable terms when negotiating leases or financing debt. Guarantees are contingent commitments issued by the Company that could require CSX to make payment to the guaranteed party based on another entity’s failure to perform. CSX’s guarantees can be segregated into three main categories:

 

  1.   Guarantees of approximately $511 million of lease commitments assumed by A.P. Moller-Maersk (“Maersk”) for which the Company is contingently liable. CSX believes that Maersk will fulfill its contractual commitments with respect to such leases and that CSX will have no further liabilities for those obligations.

 

  2.   Guarantees of approximately $150 million relating to a construction guarantee at one of the Company’s international terminals segment’s locations. The non-performance of one of its partners or cost overruns could cause the Company to have to perform under this guarantee.

 

-17-

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

 

 

NOTE 12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued

 

  3.   As discussed in Note 3, Divestitures, CSX conveyed most of its interest in CSX Lines in February 2003. CSX guarantees approximately $47 million relating to leases assumed as part of this conveyance.

 

The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees is the amount of the guarantees themselves.

 

Matters Arising Out of Sale of International Container-Shipping Assets

 

CSX has received a claim amounting to approximately $180 million plus interest from Europe Container Terminals bv (“ECT”), owner of the Rotterdam Container Terminal formerly operated by Sea-Land Service Inc. (“Sea-Land”). ECT has claimed that the December 1999 sale of the international liner business to Maersk resulted in a breach of the Sea-Land terminal agreement with ECT. An initial arbitration panel of the Netherlands Arbitration Institute ruled on February 10, 2003, that CSX was in breach of the terminal agreement. The ruling by the panel dealt only with the existence of liability for a breach, and did not address the level of ECT damages, if any, which will be the subject of a second hearing before the same panel sometime in 2003. CSX disputes this claim and believes it does not reflect the mitigating benefits ECT gained from its ability to service other customers at the former Sea-Land facility. Management believes that valid defenses to this claim exist but cannot estimate what loss, if any, may result from this matter. CSX believes that Maersk is responsible for any damages that may result from this dispute and has taken preliminary steps to initiate an arbitration against Maersk under the purchase and sale agreement with Maersk.

 

The purchase and sale agreement with Maersk provides for a post-closing working capital adjustment to the sales price based on the change in working capital, as defined in the agreement, between June 25, 1999, and December 10, 1999. The Company has recorded a receivable of approximately $70 million in connection with the post-closing adjustment and this amount is currently in dispute. This matter, together with other disputed issues relating to the contractual obligations of the Company, has been submitted to arbitration.

 

Although management believes it will prevail in some or all of the Maersk and ECT disputes and arbitrations, it can give no assurance in this regard. An adverse outcome could have a material effect on the determination of the final loss on sale of Sea-Land’s International Liner business and the financial results and cash flows in future reporting periods.

 

Other Legal Proceedings

 

A number of other legal actions are pending against CSX and certain subsidiaries in which claims are made in substantial amounts. While the ultimate results of these legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not currently expect that the resolution of these matters will have a material effect on CSX’s consolidated balance sheet, income statement or cash flows. The Company is also party to a number of actions, the resolution of which could result in gain realization in amounts that could be material to results of operations in the quarter received.

NOTE 13.  BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

The Company operates in three business segments: rail, intermodal, and international terminals. The rail segment provides rail freight transportation over a network of more than 23,000 route miles in 23 states, the District of Columbia and two Canadian provinces. The intermodal segment provides transcontinental intermodal transportation services and operates a network of dedicated intermodal facilities across North America. The international terminals segment operates container freight terminal facilities in Asia, Europe, Australia, Latin America and the United States. The Company’s segments are strategic business units that offer different services and are managed separately based on the differences in these services. Because of their close interrelationship, the rail and intermodal segments are viewed on a combined basis as Surface Transportation operations.

 

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment operating income, defined as income from operations, excluding the effects of non-recurring charges and gains. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (Note 1) in the CSX Annual Report on Form 10-K, except that for segment reporting purposes, CSX includes minority interest expense on the international terminals segment’s joint venture businesses in operating expense. These amounts are reclassified through eliminations in CSX’s consolidated financial statements to other income. Intersegment sales and transfers are generally accounted for as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, at current market prices.

 

Business segment information for the quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002 is as follows:

NOTE 14.  SUMMARIZED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL DATA

 

During 1987, the predecessor company to CSX Lines entered into agreements to sell and lease back by charter three new U.S.-built, U.S.-flag, D-7 class container ships. CSX guaranteed the obligations of CSX Lines pursuant to the related charters which, along with the container ships, serve as collateral for debt securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). On February 27, 2003, CSX conveyed most of its interest in CSX Lines to a new venture. A newly formed CSX subsidiary, CSX Vessel Leasing, will retain certain vessel obligations, with CSX remaining as the guarantor. These obligations have been subleased to Horizon. CSX believes that Horizon will fulfill its contractual commitments with respect to such leases and that CSX will have no further liabilities for these obligations. The March 28, 2003 consolidating schedules reflect CSX Vessel Leasing as the obligor, while the March 29, 2002, and December 27, 2002 consolidating schedules reflect CSX Lines as the obligor. In accordance with SEC disclosure requirements, consolidating financial information for the parent and obligor are as follows:

CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

CSX follows a 52/53-week fiscal reporting calendar. Fiscal years 2003 and 2002 consist of 52 weeks ending on December 26, 2003 and December 27, 2002, respectively. The financial statements presented are for the 13-week quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, and as of December 27, 2002.

 

Consolidated Results

 

Operating Revenue

 

Operating revenue increased $52 million in the quarter ended March 28, 2003 from the quarter ended March 29, 2002. Surface Transportation revenue increased $85 million but was offset by a reduction of revenue from the domestic container-shipping segment as a majority of CSX’s interest in CSX Lines was conveyed during the quarter (see Note 3, Divestitures).

 

Operating Income

 

Operating income was $177 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, as compared to $212 million for the prior year quarter. The $35 million decrease is a result of increased operating expenses, primarily at the rail segment, from increased fuel prices and abnormally harsh winter weather that burdened operations during the first quarter of 2003. The quarter ended March 28, 2003 was also impacted by $16 million in expenses relating to the retirement of John Snow, the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to become Secretary of the Treasury for the United States.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income decreased $19 million to a net expense of $10 million in the quarter ended March 28, 2003. Income from real estate and resort operations was down $31 million, primarily due to a large real estate transaction that was completed during the first quarter of 2002. This decrease was offset by lower losses primarily relating to equity investments.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was down $11 million in the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily from the impact of lower interest rates on floating-rate debt and the favorable impact of interest rate swaps (see note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments).

 

Net Earnings

 

CSX reported net earnings for the quarter ended March 28, 2003 of $99 million, 46 cents per share, compared with $25 million, 12 cents per share, in the quarter ended March 29, 2002.

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued

 

Consolidated Results, Continued

 

In 2001, SFAS 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” was issued. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. In conjunction with the group-life method of accounting for asset costs, the Company historically accrued crosstie removal costs as a component of depreciation, which is not permitted under SFAS 143. With the adoption of SFAS 143 in the first quarter of 2003, CSX recorded pretax income of $93 million, $57 million after tax, or 26 cents per share as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, representing the reversal of the accrued liability for crosstie removal costs. The adoption of SFAS 143 did not have a material effect on prior reporting periods, and the Company does not believe it will have a material effect on future earnings. On an ongoing basis, depreciation expense will be reduced, while labor and fringe and materials, supplies and other expense will be increased.

 

In 2001, SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” was issued. Under the provisions of SFAS 142, goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized, but are reviewed for impairment on a periodic basis. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2002, and incurred a pretax charge of $83 million, $43 million after tax and consideration of minority interest, 20 cents per share as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, which represents the difference between book value and the fair value of indefinite lived intangible assets. These indefinite lived intangible assets are permits and licenses that the Company holds relating to a proposed pipeline to transfer natural gas from Alaska’s north slope to the port in Valdez, Alaska. The fair value was determined using a discount method of projected future cash flows relating to these assets. The carrying value of these assets is now approximately $3 million. The adoption of SFAS 142 did not have a material effect on prior reporting periods, and it will not have a material effect on future earnings.

 

Earnings before the cumulative effect of accounting changes were $42 million and $68 million for the quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, respectively. This $26 million decrease results primarily from the decrease in operating income and other income, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense.

 

Divestitures

 

On February 27, 2003, CSX conveyed most of its interest in its domestic container-shipping subsidiary, CSX Lines, to a new venture formed with the Carlyle Group for approximately $300 million (gross cash proceeds of approximately $240 million, $214 million net of transaction costs, and $60 million of securities). CSX Lines was subsequently renamed Horizon Lines LLC (“Horizon”). Horizon has subleased equipment from CSX covering CSX’s primary financial obligations related to $319 million of vessel and equipment leases under which CSX will remain a lessee. A deferred pretax gain of approximately $127 million as a result of the transaction will be recognized over the 12 year sub-lease term. Less than $1 million of this gain was recognized in the first quarter. The $60 million of securities have a term of 7 years and a preferred return feature. CSX will account for the investment under the cost method.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued

 

Rail

 

Operating Revenue

 

Rail revenue increased $45 million in the quarter ended March 28, 2003, as compared to the quarter ended March 29, 2002.

 

Merchandise

 

Overall merchandise revenues were up 6 percent on 3 percent volume growth. Emerging markets, chemicals, metals and forest and industrial products’ revenue levels increased over the prior year quarter, while phosphates and fertilizers had a slight decrease. The positive performance in emerging markets was driven by continued strength in military shipments during the first quarter of 2003.

 

Automotive

 

Automotive revenues grew $8 million or 4% over the prior year quarter. Growth was driven by increased vehicle production while extended linehauls resulted in yield improvements. Light truck and remarketed vehicles revenues are up year over year due to shifts to sports utility and crossover vehicles and aggressive manufacturer incentives.

 

Coal

 

Coal revenues were down $11 million or 3 percent from prior year. Abnormally harsh winter weather adversely affected lake loadings, as lakes were frozen and, therefore, inaccessible. Additionally, weakness in exports continued due to the reduced competitive standing of United States coal in the international market. These two factors more than offset the strength in utility coal shipments that occurred in the latter part of the quarter.

 

Operating Expense

 

Operating expenses increased to $1.4 billion from $1.3 billion for the quarters ended March 28, 2003 and March 29, 2002, respectively. The $75 million increase was primarily due to higher fuel prices, operational inefficiencies due to severe winter weather during 2003, and increased personal injury claims.

 

  ·   Labor and Fringe expenses were up $8 million in the first quarter of 2003 versus prior year. The Company experienced higher crew costs during the first quarter of 2003 due to inflation, higher volumes and costs related to the slowdown of the network caused by weather issues during the quarter. Expenses were also affected upon the adoption of SFAS 143 by the inclusion of approximately $2 million of costs relating to the removal of retired crossties, which were previously provided for through depreciation expense.

 

  ·   Materials, Supplies and Other expenses increased $15 million period over period, primarily due to increased personal injuries and derailments and other costs relating to the weather in the first quarter of 2003. Expenses were also affected, upon the adoption of SFAS 143 by the inclusion of approximately $2 million of costs relating to the removal of retired crossties from the system that were previously provided for through depreciation expense.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued

 

Rail, Continued

 

  ·   Conrail expenses were relatively flat, decreasing $1 million quarter-over-quarter to $86 million in 2003.

 

  ·   Building and Equipment Rent increased $5 million, primarily due to increased car hire expenses caused partially by the network slowdown relating to abnormally harsh winter weather.

 

  ·   Depreciation expense increased $7 million dollars net, primarily due to asset additions. Reductions in depreciation expense relating to the discontinuation of accruals for the removal of crossties upon the adoption of SFAS 143 were offset by the impact of reductions of certain asset lives as part of a group depreciation life study.

 

  ·   Fuel expenses were up significantly in the first quarter of 2003 as compared to 2002. Fuel prices increased expense by $50 million, but the net impact on operating income was $44, since $6 million in fuel surcharges were billed to customers. The remaining $4 million increase was the result of volume and efficiency issues related to the severe winter weather during the first quarter of 2003.

 

Operating Income

 

Operating income was $147 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, as compared to $177 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002. This $30 million decrease resulted from the large increase in fuel and other operating expenses more than offsetting the benefit of higher revenues.

 

Intermodal

 

Operating Revenue

 

Intermodal operating revenues increased $40 million in the quarter ended March 28, 2003, as compared to the quarter ended March 29, 2002. Revenue per unit improved due to increased length of haul, a favorable price environment and growth in higher priced door-to-door traffic. The increase in revenue included $7 million of fuel surcharges in 2003.

 

Operating Expense

 

Intermodal operating expenses increased $35 million over the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased lift costs and inland transportation charges associated with higher volumes.

 

Operating Income

 

Intermodal operating income was $22 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2003, as compared to $17 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued

 

International Terminals Results

 

Operating Revenue

 

International Terminals operating revenue decreased to $56 million for the 2003 quarter, from $58 million in the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily a result of the discontinuance from the Transpacific trade by one of the major Hong Kong customers.

 

Operating Expense

 

Operating expenses decreased to $41 million for the quarter, from $47 million in the prior year quarter, due to cost reduction initiatives implemented during the second half of 2002 and decreased volumes.

 

Operating Income

 

Operating income increased to $15 million for the quarter, from $11 million for the prior year quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $294 million at March 28, 2003, an increase of $30 million since December 27, 2002.

 

Primary sources of cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended March 28, 2003 were $214 million of net proceeds from the divestiture of CSX Lines LLC (see Note 3, Divestitures), $67 million of debt issued and cash from general operations. Primary uses of cash and cash equivalents were $150 million of property additions, $95 million of debt repayments, and approximately $56 million related to payments made and related taxes due to the retirement of John Snow, the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in the first quarter of 2003. The quarterly dividend for the current and prior year period was 10 cents per share, and amounted to $21 million in the first quarter of 2003.

 

CSX’s working capital deficit at March 28, 2003 was $620 million, down from $665 million at December 27, 2002. A working capital deficit is not unusual for the Company and does not indicate a lack of liquidity. The Company continues to maintain adequate current assets to satisfy current liabilities and maturing obligations when they come due and has sufficient financial capacity to manage its day-to-day cash requirements and any obligations arising from legal, tax and other regulatory rulings.

FACTORS EXPECTED TO INFLUENCE 2003

 

Fuel expenses fluctuate and are a significant cost, but the Company expects that the impact of price variance will be less in the second quarter of 2003 than the $50 million impact during the first quarter of 2003. The full year impact of fuel expenses cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty.

 

INVESTMENT IN AND INTEGRATED RAIL OPERATIONS WITH CONRAIL

 

See background, accounting and financial reporting effects and summary financial information in Note 5, Investment In and Integrated Rail Operations with Conrail.

 

Conrail’s Results of Operations

 

Conrail reported net income before cumulative effect of accounting change of $37 million in the first quarter, compared to $36 million in the prior year quarter. Operating revenues increased $1 million to $226 million for the 2003 quarter, while operating expenses decreased $1 million to $163 million for the same period.

 

OTHER MATTERS

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management make estimates in reporting the amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. For information regarding CSX’s significant estimates using management judgment, see management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations on page 26 of the 2002 Annual Report. As of March 28, 2003, there have been no significant changes to these estimates.

 

Matters Arising From Sale of International Container-Shipping Assets

 

CSX has received a claim amounting to approximately $180 million plus interest from Europe Container Terminals bv (“ECT”), owner of the Rotterdam Container Terminal formerly operated by Sea-Land Service Inc. (“Sea-Land”). ECT has claimed that the December 1999 sale of the international liner business to Maersk resulted in a breach of the Sea-Land terminal agreement with ECT. An initial arbitration panel of the Netherlands Arbitration Institute ruled on February 10, 2003, that CSX was in breach of the terminal agreement. The ruling by the panel dealt only with the existence of liability for a breach, and did not address the level of ECT damages, if any, which will be the subject of a second hearing before the same panel sometime in 2003. CSX disputes this claim and believes it does not reflect the mitigating benefits ECT gained from its ability to service other customers at the former Sea-Land facility. Management believes that valid defenses to this claim exist but cannot estimate what, if any, loss may result from this matter. CSX believes that Maersk is responsible for any damages that may result from this dispute and has taken preliminary steps to initiate an arbitration against Maersk under the purchase and sale agreement with Maersk.

OTHER MATTERS, Continued

 

Matters Arising From Sale of International Container-Shipping Assets, Continued

 

The purchase and sale agreement with Maersk provides for a post-closing working capital adjustment to the sales price based on the change in working capital, as defined in the agreement, between June 25, 1999, and December 10, 1999. The Company has recorded a receivable of approximately $70 million in connection with the post-closing adjustment and this amount is currently in dispute. This matter, together with other disputed issues relating to the contractual obligations of the Company, has been submitted to arbitration.

 

Although management believes it will prevail in some or all of the Maersk and ECT disputes and arbitrations, it can give no assurance in this regard. An adverse outcome could have a material effect on the determination of the final loss on sale of Sea-Land’s International Liner business and the financial results and cash flows in future reporting periods.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act with respect to, among other items: projections and estimates of earnings, revenues, cost-savings, expenses, or other financial items; statements of management’s plans, strategies and objectives for future operations, and management’s expectations as to future performance and operations and the time by which objectives will be achieved; statements concerning proposed new products and services; and statements regarding future economic, industry or market conditions or performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “project”, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement. If the Company does update any forward-looking statement, no inference should be drawn that the Company will make additional updates with respect to that statement or any other forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual performance or results could differ materially from that anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements include, among others: (i) the Company’s success in implementing its financial and operational initiatives, (ii) changes in domestic or international economic or business conditions, including those affecting the rail industry (such as the impact of industry competition, conditions, performance and consolidation); (iii) legislative or regulatory changes; and (iv) the outcome of claims and litigation involving or affecting the Company. Other important assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are specified elsewhere in this report, and in the Company’s other SEC reports, accessible on the Sec’s website at www.sec.gov and at the Company’s website at www.csx.com.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We address our exposure to market risks, principally the market risk of changes in interest rates, through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of interest rate swap agreements. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. In the event of a 1% increase or decrease in the LIBOR interest rate, the interest expense related to these agreements would increase or decrease approximately $1.4 million on an annual basis.

 

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by any counter-party to the interest rate swap agreements. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by such counter-parties, and no material loss would be expected from non-performance.

 

At March 28, 2003 and December 27, 2002, CSX had approximately $790 million and $709 million, respectively, of floating rate debt outstanding. A 1% variance in interest rates would effect annual interest expense by approximately $8 million.

 

The Company is subject to risk relating to changes in the price of diesel fuel. A one cent change in the price per gallon of fuel would impact annual fuel expense by approximately $6 million.

 

While the Company’s international terminals segment does business in several foreign countries, a substantial portion of its revenue and expenses are transacted in U.S. dollars, or currencies with little fluctuation against the U.S. dollar. For this reason, CSX does not believe its foreign currency market risk is significant.

 

A substantial increase in the fair market value of the Company’s stock price could negatively impact earnings per share due to the dilutive effect of stock options and convertible debt.

 

ITEM 4.  DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of April 28, 2003, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 28, 2003. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in the other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation.

EX-10.1 3 dex101.htm RETIREMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENT Retirement and Consulting Agreement

 

RETIREMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENT

 

Paul R. Goodwin

 

THIS RETIREMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated as of April 1, 2003, is between CSX Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“CSX”), and Paul R. Goodwin (the “Executive”). The parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.   Consulting and Term. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, CSX and the Executive hereby agree that effective as of May 7, 2003, Executive shall be employed as Vice Chairman of CSX. The Executive shall remain in such position for approximately thirty (30) to sixty (60) days following the employment of a chief financial officer of CSX, in the discretion of the President of CSX, at which time the Executive shall retire. Upon the Executive’s retirement from CSX, the Executive will become a Consultant of CSX for one (1) year (the “Term”) upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, unless earlier terminated as provided in Section 6 herein.

 

2.   Duties. During the Term, Executive will report to CSX’s President and will work on BridgePoint, Savannah Harbor, Horizon, and other activities as requested by the President of CSX. The Executive shall be required to render written reports to CSX with respect to the foregoing services if requested in writing by CSX. Notwithstanding any other provision hereto, Executive shall be permitted to accept other consulting work provided that such responsibilities do not conflict with his responsibilities and covenants under this Agreement or violate the standard of conduct set forth in Section 3 below.

 

3.   Standard of Conduct. Executive hereby agrees that during the Term, he will continue to adhere to the standards of conduct set forth in the CSX Code of Ethics, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Code of Ethics may be amended from time to time, and such amendments will be posted on the CSX website. Accordingly, Executive agrees that he will be deemed to be aware of any such amendment.

 

4.   Compensation. For his services hereunder, CSX shall pay the following compensation to Executive:

 

(a)   Base Salary. For his services under this Agreement, Executive will be paid at the rate of his annual base salary in effect on May 7, 2003, payable in substantially equal monthly installments, in arrears.

 

(b)   Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible for a pro rata portion of his annual bonus under the Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the “MICP”) for fiscal year 2003, at the same level as in effect on May 7, 2003, payable at the same time as other similarly situated executives. The amount of the bonus shall be calculated by multiplying the full annual bonus for the fiscal year 2003 by a fraction, where the numerator is the number of months in the fiscal year prior to and including the month of retirement from CSX and the denominator is 12.


(c)   Incentive Compensation Programs. The Executive shall be eligible for 2003 stock options to be granted at the same time as other similarly situated executives, in an amount consistent with past practice.

 

(d)   Other Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in the early retiree medical plan portion of the CSX Corporation Comprehensive Medical Plan (the “Medical Plan”), provided that in the event that participant is affected by applicable premium caps for early retiree medical coverage with respect to the Executive and his covered dependents under the Medical Plan, the Executive will be held harmless for such amount. The Executive shall be eligible for discounts at the Greenbrier in accordance with similarly situated executives.

 

During the Term, the Executive shall not be eligible

 

  (i)   to accrue service credit under the CSX Pension Plan; or

 

  (ii)   to participate in the Tax Savings Thrift Plan (generally referred to as CSXtra).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any benefit plan is amended or terminated, the Executive shall receive benefits solely pursuant to the terms of such benefit plans as amended or terminated.

 

5.   Expenses. Executive will be entitled to reimbursement for ordinary and reasonable business expenses within a reasonable period of time after presentation by him of itemized accounts and receipts of such expenditures satisfactory to CSX’s audit firm and subject to the approval of CSX’s Executive Vice President, Corporate Services.

 

6.   Termination of Term.
  (a)   The Term shall terminate prior to its expiration upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

  (i)   Executive’s resignation;

 

  (ii)   Executive’s death or legal incapacity;

 

  (iii)   The determination by CSX that Executive is unable to perform services under this Agreement for a period of at least sixty (60) consecutive days due to his physical or mental incapacity;

 

  (iv)   The determination by CSX that Executive has breached any provision of this Agreement or that Executive is in violation of any other duty or obligation to CSX, in which case such termination will be deemed for cause.

 

2


 

  (b)   In the event that CSX terminates the Term before its expiration for a reason other than cause, Executive will receive base salary through the end of the Term, and any MICP Bonus payable pursuant to the terms of the MICP.

 

7.   Waiver and Release. In exchange for the compensation and benefits provided under this Agreement, the Executive hereby waives and releases CSX and its affiliates from any claims, except for claims relating to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Executive agrees to execute the Waiver and Release attached hereto as Exhibit A at the time of execution of this Agreement. Executive further agrees to execute an additional Waiver and Release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B upon the end of the Term hereunder.

 

8.   Restrictive Covenants.

 

  (a)   Nondisclosure of Information. Executive agrees to receive confidential and proprietary information in confidence, and not to disclose such information to others, either during the Term or any time thereafter, except as authorized by CSX. For purposes of this Agreement, confidential and proprietary information shall mean information not generally known to the public that is disclosed to Executive as a consequence of his relationship with CSX or its affiliates, whether or not pursuant to this Agreement.

 

  (b)   Non-Competition. The parties hereto recognize that Executive’s services are special and unique and that this Agreement is partly in consideration and conditioned upon his not competing with CSX. The parties thus recognize that a limited covenant on his part not to compete during the period of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter is essential to protect the business and goodwill of CSX.

13.   Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of CSX, its successors and assigns and may not be assigned by Executive.

 

14.   Waiver of Breach. The waiver of either CSX or Executive of a breach of any provisions of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by either CSX or Executive.

 

15.   Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly executed the day and year first written above.

WAIVER AND RELEASE

 

In exchange for CSX Corporation (the “Company”) entering into the Retirement and Consulting Agreement with me:

 

1.    I hereby release the Company from all claims, demands and legal proceedings I may have based in any way on my employment in any capacity with the Company, except as provided in Paragraph 5 hereof. This includes a release of any rights or claims if any, which I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended (“ADEA”), which prohibits age discrimination in employment; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Civil Rights Act of 1991, which prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, national origin, religion or sex; the Civil Rights Act of 1866, as amended by the Civil Rights Act of 1991, which requires equality in contractual relations without regard to race or national origin; the Equal Pay Act, which prohibits paying men and women unequal pay for equal work; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 which prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which prohibits discrimination against the handicapped; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act; the Fair Labor Standards Act; Executive Order 11246; the Family and Medical Leave Act; or any other federal, state or local laws or regulations prohibiting employment discrimination or regulating any aspect of employment. This also includes a release of any rights or claims I may have under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or any similar law which requires, among other things, that advance notice be given of certain work force reductions. This also includes a release of any rights or claims I may have for wrongful discharge; breach of contract, whether express or implied or breach of any collective bargaining agreement; termination of employment in violation of any public policy; any other tort or contract claim; the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress; fraud or negligent misrepresentation; defamation; any claim for labor protection, including but not limited to conditions imposed by the Surface Transportation Board, its predecessor, or any labor agreement; any claim under any workers’ compensation law; and any other claim for relief of any nature.

 

2.    I agree to withdraw all lawsuits, if any, against the Released Parties and I represent that I will not file any lawsuit against the Released Parties based on the claims released under this Waiver and Release. I promise not to seek any damages, remedies or other relief for myself personally by filing or prosecuting a charge with any administrative agency with respect to any claim purportedly released by this Agreement. I promise to request any administrative agency or other body assuming jurisdiction of any such lawsuit, complaint, or charge to withdraw from the matter or dismiss the matter with prejudice. However, I understand that nothing

 

-5-


contained in this paragraph 2 precludes me from challenging the validity of this Waiver and Release under the ADEA.

 

I agree to pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses and any damages the Released Parties may incur as a result of my filing a lawsuit against the Released Parties based on the claims released under this Waiver and Release. However, this paragraph 2 does not apply to lawsuits brought solely to assert claims under the ADEA.

 

3.    I acknowledge that the Company has advised me that in executing this Waiver and Release, I will waive any rights which I may have against the Company arising out of any claim under ADEA, including the amendments made by the Older Worker Benefit Protection Act of 1990, and that the Company has advised me to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Waiver and Release. I hereby acknowledge that the terms of this Waiver and Release constitute adequate consideration in addition to anything of value to which I already am entitled in connection with my employment relationship with the Company for my waiver of rights as aforesaid.

 

4.    I understand and agree that the terms of this Waiver and Release shall remain private between the Company and me, provided that I may disclose the terms to my spouse, counsel, tax advisor and estate planner, or as otherwise required by law.

 

5.    It is understood that the consideration from the Company as expressed herein and in the Retirement and Consulting Agreement shall not be deemed or construed at any time for any purpose as an admission of liability or violation of any applicable law by the Company. The Company expressly denies liability for any and all claims.

 

6.    I acknowledge that the provisions of this Waiver and Release shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns. By signing this Waiver and Release I understand that I do not relinquish any rights I currently have under the CSX Pension Plan or the Tax Savings Thrift Plan for Employees of CSX Corporation and Affiliated Companies, nor am I waiving any rights or claims which may arise after the date I sign this Waiver and Release.

 

7.    This Waiver and Release shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

 

8.    This Waiver and Release may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

 

9.    If, for any reason, any provision of this Waiver and Release is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Waiver and Release not held so invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.

 

-6-


 

10.    I acknowledge that I have been given a period of twenty-one (21) days to review and consider this Waiver and Release, and that I have been encouraged to consult an attorney before signing it. I understand that I may use as much or all of this 21-day period as I wish prior to signing and have done so.

 

11.    I understand that I have seven (7) days after I sign this Waiver and Release to revoke it by notice in writing to Andrew B. Fogarty, Executive Vice President, 500 Water Street,15th Floor J120, Jacksonville, Florida 32202 and that this Waiver and Release shall not become effective until the seven days have expired without Mr. Fogarty’s having received such a revocation. This Waiver and Release shall become enforceable upon expiration of this seven-day revocation period.

 

I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE. I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE FINAL AND BINDING EFFECT OF THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT CONTAINS AN UNCONDITIONAL, GENERAL, AND VOLUNTARY RELEASE OF ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS RELATING TO, OR ARISING OUT OF, MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY AND/OR MY RETIREMENT AND RESIGNATION FROM THE COMPANY. I ENTER INTO THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE VOLUNTARILY, WITHOUT COERCION, AND BASED ON MY OWN JUDGMENT AND NOT IN RELIANCE UPON ANY REPRESENTATIONS, SUGGESTIONS OR PROMISES BY THE COMPANY, OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINED HEREIN. I AM SIGNING THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE VOLUNTARILY AND WITH THE FULL INTENT OF RELEASING THE COMPANY FROM ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO, OR ARISING OUT OF, MY EMPLOYMENT AND THE RETIREMENT AND RESIGNATION OF MY EMPLOYMENT.

EXHIBIT C

 

CSX Corporation

Code of Ethics

For Directors, Officers and Employees of CSX Corporation and its Affiliated Companies

 

CSX and its affiliated companies strive to apply high ethical, moral and legal principles in every aspect of business conduct. That is what “right results, right way” means. This written statement of principles applies to all directors, officers and employees – collectively referred to as CSX associates – of CSX and its affiliated Companies and is intended to guide behaviors. If an associate is concerned about an ethical situation or is not sure whether specific conduct meets CSX standards, that associate should feel free to discuss the situation with a supervisor, or to call the toll-free CSX Ethics Information Hotline at 1-800-737-1663. A good basis for deciding when to get advice is to ask whether the conduct might be embarrassing to the company or the associates involved if the details were fully disclosed to the public. If it might, the associate should seek clarification. Any reported incidents will be treated in a confidential manner, and CSX will not allow retaliation for incidents reported in good faith.

 

CSX expects its associates to understand and obey all legal requirements governing the company’s business. The company provides ongoing education concerning applicable laws and regulations, and associates needing more information should talk with their supervisor or call the Ethics Hotline. But complying with the law is just part of what we need to be doing. Associates should continually try to avoid even the appearance of impropriety or of violating the law or this Code of Ethics.

 

Relationships and Conflicts of Interest

 

Associates are expected to make decisions in the best interests of the company, and not for personal gain. No associate – nor any member of his or her immediate family – should acquire a financial interest in, or accept employment by, an entity doing business with a CSX company if the interest or employment would conflict with the associate’s performance of his or her duties.

 

Neither associates nor their immediate family members may accept gifts or favors that create any obligation – either stated or implied – to a competitor, supplier or customer. Gifts should not be accepted from such companies or their agents unless the gift either has been previously approved in writing by a supervisor or is of only nominal value (e.g., tee shirts, caps, etc.).

 

Associates may not offer any gift or favor to any employee-or a member of the immediate family of an employee-of a competitor, supplier or customer if the gift or favor might place the recipient under any obligation to either the associate making the gift or to a CSX company.

 

Kickbacks, bribes, rebates or other forms of illegal consideration are never acceptable, and must never be either given or accepted by anyone acting on behalf of a CSX company. Associates dealing with government agencies should be particularly alert to any agency rules limiting or prohibiting gifts or other favors.

 

Associates may not either use or disclose any confidential or non-public information learned through their employment by a CSX company, either for their own or someone else’s personal benefit. Use of such information may also violate strict Federal laws against “insider trading” in securities.

 

Associates should respect company property and use company assets – including computers and related information technology assets – only in accordance with established company policies.

 

Political Contributions and Public Service Involvement.

 

CSX and its subsidiaries work hard to earn and maintain the respect of the communities in which they operate. Associates are encouraged to speak out on important community issues. Associates must be careful, however, not to give the impression they are speaking on behalf of a CSX company unless they are actually authorized to do so.

 

No CSX company is permitted to contribute, directly or indirectly, to any Federal political campaign. Employees may not use company expense accounts to pay for any personal political contributions or seek any other form of company reimbursement.

 

In addition, associates should not use company facilities or company assets for the benefit of any party or candidate, including an associate individually running for office.


 

Associates are encouraged to contribute to properly established political action committees.

 

Political payments in foreign countries pose special legal problems. Associates engaged in foreign operations should never make a payment to any foreign government official, agency or instrumentality, or to any foreign political party, party official or candidate unless the specific payment has been reviewed and approved by the company’s legal counsel.

 

Misrepresentations and False Statements

 

Associates must never make a deliberate misrepresentation concerning a CSX company or its business operations.

 

No associate should ever create or assist anyone to create a false or misleading entry in any book or business record of a CSX company, including any business expense or employee time report. No unrecorded or “hidden” funds or assets are permitted under any circumstances.

 

Discrimination and Harassment

 

CSX companies are firmly committed to the principle of equality of opportunity in employment and human relationships.

 

Each associate is expected to treat fellow employees with respect and dignity, and to practice the principles stated in the CSX Management Statement and the CSX Way.

 

CSX companies offer employment, training, compensation and advancement on the basis of qualification, merit and business needs, regardless of race, religion, sex, national origin, age, veteran status, sexual orientation or other protected characteristic. CSX companies will extend the same considerations to qualified disabled persons, consistent with the individual’s abilities to perform job duties safely and efficiently.

 

Business relationships with competitors, suppliers, and customers of CSX companies must always be conducted free of discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, age, veteran status, sexual orientation or disability.

 

Associates may not engage in any sexual or other harassment of co-workers, competitors, suppliers or customers of CSX companies.

 

All associates are responsible for implementing CSX’s policy of non-discrimination. This may require special affirmative action by all levels of executive managerial and supervisory personnel to seek out competent persons and business entities entitled to the benefits of the broad CSX commitment to equal opportunity.

 

Competition

 

All of the business activities of the CSX companies are highly competitive, and it is the policy of CSX to compete aggressively, but fairly. A major part of this commitment to compete fairly is a commitment to abide fully by the antitrust laws. In general, these complex laws prohibit any form of agreement or understanding – whether formal, informal, express or implied – that unreasonably reduces competition and business rivalry. This commitment also prohibits any unfair or untrue disparagement of a CSX competitor.

 

Absent compelling special circumstances, CSX companies should select all vendors and contractors on the basis of written competitive bids.

 

Safety and the Environment

 

The safe operation of CSX activities is always a primary goal.

 

All associates, without exception, are responsible for insuring that all CSX operations are conducted safely. Associates are expected to observe all safety rules and practices and to follow instructions concerning safe and efficient work practices. All employees should advise their supervisor or other management representatives immediately if they see a work practice or activity they consider to be conducted in an unsafe or careless manner.

 

CSX and its associates must remain committed to taking all reasonable steps to preserve and enhance the environment, public health and safety.

 

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has procedures for reporting and handling verified violations of the CSX Code of Ethics.
