GAAP Reconciliation Disclosure
CSX reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used to manage the Company’s business that fall within the meaning of Regulation G (Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures) by the Securities and Exchange Commission may provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparisons to prior reported results.
In press releases and presentation slides for stock analysts, CSX has provided Surface Transportation operating income and earnings per share adjusted for certain items, which are non-GAAP financial measures.  The Company’s management evaluates its business and makes certain operating decisions (e.g., budgeting, forecasting, employee compensation, asset management and resource allocation) using these adjusted numbers.  Likewise, this information facilitates comparisons to financial results that are directly associated with ongoing business operations as well as provides comparable historical information.  Lastly, earnings forecasts prepared by stock analysts and other third parties generally exclude the effects of items that are difficult to predict or measure in advance and are not directly related to CSX’s ongoing operations.  A reconciliation between GAAP and the non-GAAP measure is provided.  These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP measures.  delivering.  CSX 15
