NOTE 1.
Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Background

CSX Corporation (“CSX”), and together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), based in Jacksonville, Florida, is one of the nation's leading transportation companies. The Company provides rail-based transportation services including traditional rail service and the transport of intermodal containers and trailers.

CSX's principal operating subsidiary, CSX Transportation, Inc. (“CSXT”), provides an important link to the transportation supply chain through its approximately 21,000 route mile rail network, which serves major population centers in 23 states east of the Mississippi River, the District of Columbia and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The Company's intermodal business, also part of CSXT, links customers to railroads via trucks and terminals.

Other entities

In addition to CSXT, the Company’s subsidiaries include CSX Intermodal Terminals, Inc. (“CSX Intermodal Terminals”), Total Distribution Services, Inc. (“TDSI”), Transflo Terminal Services, Inc. (“Transflo”), CSX Technology, Inc. (“CSX Technology”) and other subsidiaries. CSX Intermodal Terminals owns and operates a system of intermodal terminals, predominantly in the eastern United States and also performs drayage services (the pickup and delivery of intermodal shipments) for certain CSXT customers and trucking dispatch operations. TDSI serves the automotive industry with distribution centers and storage locations. Transflo connects non-rail served customers to the many benefits of rail by transferring products from rail to trucks. Today, the biggest Transflo markets are chemicals and agriculture, such as minerals and ethanol. CSX Technology and other subsidiaries provide support services for the Company.
    
CSX’s other holdings include CSX Real Property, Inc., a subsidiary responsible for the Company’s real estate sales, leasing, acquisition and management and development activities. These activities are classified in other income - net because they are not considered to be operating activities by the Company. Results of these activities fluctuate with the timing of non-operating real estate transactions.

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the following:
  
Consolidated income statements for the quarters and six months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012;
Consolidated comprehensive income statements for the quarters and six months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012;
Consolidated balance sheets at June 28, 2013 and December 28, 2012; and
Consolidated cash flow statements for the six months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1.
Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements. CSX suggests that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in CSX's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequently filed current reports on Form 8-K.

Fiscal Year

CSX follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar with the last day of each reporting period ending on a Friday:
 
The second fiscal quarters of 2013 and 2012 consisted of 13 weeks ending on June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, respectively.
Fiscal year 2013 and 2012 will each consist of 52 weeks ending on December 27, 2013 and December 28, 2012, respectively.
    
Except as otherwise specified, references to “second quarter(s)” or “six months” indicate CSX's fiscal periods ending June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, and references to "year-end" indicate the fiscal year ended December 28, 2012.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts on uncollectible amounts related to freight receivables, government reimbursement receivables, claims for damages and other various receivables. The allowance is based upon the credit worthiness of customers, historical experience, the age of the receivable and current market and economic conditions. Uncollectible amounts are charged against the allowance account. Allowance for doubtful accounts of $40 million and $36 million is included in the consolidated balance sheets as of the end of second quarter 2013 and December 2012, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update to the Comprehensive Income Topic in the Accounting Standards Codifications ("ASC"). This update requires separate presentation of the components that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes to the financial statements. This update also requires companies to disclose the income statement line items impacted by any significant reclassifications, such as the amortization of pension and other post-employment benefits adjustments. These items are required for both interim and annual reporting for public companies and became effective for CSX beginning with the first quarter 2013 Form 10-Q filing.

Other Items

Share Repurchases

In April 2013, the Company announced a new $1 billion share repurchase program, which is expected to be completed by April 2015. Management's assessment of market conditions and pertinent facts guide the timing and volume of all repurchases. During second quarter 2013, CSX repurchased $95 million in shares. In accordance with the Equity Topic in the ASC, the excess of repurchase price over par value is recorded in retained earnings. Generally, retained earnings is only impacted by net earnings and dividends.

Amortization of Gain from Property Disposition

In November 2011, the Company sold an operating rail corridor to the state of Florida for a new commuter rail operation known as SunRail. This agreement obligated the Company to invest a total of $500 million in routine capital expenditures and maintenance related to transportation capacity, facilities or equipment in Florida, including diversion and relocation costs related to this transaction within the eight year period following the transaction. The Company invested $46 million and $72 million during the second quarters 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $142 million and $146 million for six months 2013 and 2012, respectively. The required investment obligation was fulfilled during the second quarter of 2013.
        
In accordance with the Real Estate Sales Topic in the ASC, this sale of real estate resulted in a deferred gain of $160 million. The deferred gain is primarily recognized into income ratably as the investment obligation is fulfilled. The Company recognized a gain of $14 million and $20 million in the second quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $43 million and $39 million for the six months ended 2013 and 2012, respectively. This gain is included in materials, supplies and other in the consolidated income statements. Going forward, the Company expects no further material gains.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2.    Earnings Per Share, continued

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding. Earnings per share, assuming dilution, is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the effects of common stock that may be issued as a result of the following types of potentially dilutive instruments:

convertible debt;

employee stock options; and

other equity awards, which include long-term incentive awards.

The Earnings Per Share Topic in the ASC requires CSX to include additional shares in the computation of earnings per share, assuming dilution. The additional shares included in diluted earnings per share represent the number of shares that would be issued if all of the above potentially dilutive instruments were converted into CSX common stock.

When calculating diluted earnings per share, the Earnings Per Share Topic in the ASC requires CSX to include the potential shares that would be outstanding if all outstanding stock options were exercised. This is offset by shares CSX could repurchase using the proceeds from these hypothetical exercises to obtain the common stock equivalent. This number is different from outstanding stock options, which is included in Note 3, Share-Based Compensation. All stock options were dilutive for the periods presented; therefore, no stock options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

Diluted shares outstanding are not impacted when debentures are converted into CSX common stock because those shares were already included in the diluted shares calculation. Shares outstanding for basic earnings per share, however, are impacted on a weighted-average basis when conversions occur.  An immaterial amount of conversions occurred during second quarters 2013 and 2012. As of the end of second quarter 2013, approximately $2 million of convertible debentures at face value remained outstanding, which are convertible into approximately 245 thousand shares of CSX common stock.
                                                                
NOTE 3.
Share-Based Compensation

Under CSX's share-based compensation plans, awards primarily consist of performance grants, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock options and stock grants for directors. CSX has not granted stock options since 2003. Awards granted under the various programs are determined and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or, in certain circumstances, by the Chief Executive Officer for awards to management employees other than senior executives. The Board of Directors approves awards granted to the Company's non-management directors upon recommendation of the Governance Committee.

On May 7, 2013, approximately 1.3 million performance units were granted to certain employees under a new long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") adopted under the CSX Stock and Incentive Award Plan.  This LTIP provides for a three-year cycle ending in fiscal year 2015.  Payouts of performance units will be based on the achievement of goals related to both operating ratio (operating expense divided by operating revenue) and return on assets (tax-adjusted operating income divided by net property) excluding non-recurring items as disclosed in the Company's financial statements. Operating ratio and return on assets will each comprise 50% of the payout and are measured independently of the other.

NOTE 3.    Share-Based Compensation, continued

Grants were made in performance units, with each unit being equivalent to one share of CSX common stock, and payouts will be made in CSX common stock.  The payout range for participants will be between 0% and 200% of the target awards depending on Company performance against predetermined goals for the three-year cycle ending with fiscal year 2015.  Payouts for certain executive officers are subject to downward adjustment by up to 30% based upon total shareholder return relative to specified comparable groups.

Additionally, as part of the 2013 LTIP, the Company granted approximately 439 thousand restricted stock units to certain employees.  The restricted stock units vest three years after the date of grant and participants receive cash dividend equivalents on the unvested shares during the restriction period.  These awards are time-based and are not based upon CSX's attainment of operational targets.

  For information related to the Company's other outstanding long-term incentive compensation, see CSX's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.
Total pre-tax expense associated with all share-based compensation and the related income tax benefit are as follows:

These liabilities are accrued when estimable and probable in accordance with the Contingencies Topic in the ASC. Actual settlements and claims received could differ. The final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty. Considering the legal defenses currently available, the liabilities that have been recorded and other factors, it is the opinion of management that none of these items individually, when finally resolved, will have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Should a number of these items occur in the same period, however, they could have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity in that particular period.

Casualty
 
Casualty reserves of $298 million for the second quarter 2013 represent accruals for personal injury, occupational injury and asbestos claims. The Company's self-insured retention amount for these claims is $50 million per occurrence. Currently, no individual claim is expected to exceed the self-insured retention amount. In accordance with the Contingencies Topic in the ASC, to the extent the value of an individual claim exceeds the self-insured retention amount, the Company would present the liability on a gross basis with a corresponding receivable for insurance recoveries. These reserves fluctuate based upon the timing of payments as well as changes in independent third-party estimates, which are reviewed by management. Actual results may vary from estimates due to the number, type and severity of the injury, costs of medical treatments and uncertainties in litigation. Most of the claims relate to CSXT unless otherwise noted below. Defense and processing costs, which historically have been insignificant and are anticipated to be insignificant in the future, are not included in the recorded liabilities.
 
Personal Injury
Personal injury reserves represent liabilities for employee work-related and third-party injuries. Work-related injuries for CSXT employees are primarily subject to the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (“FELA”). In addition to FELA liabilities, employees of other CSX subsidiaries are covered by various state workers’ compensation laws, the Federal Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Program or the Maritime Jones Act.

NOTE 4. Casualty, Environmental and Other Reserves, continued

CSXT retains an independent actuarial firm to assist management in assessing the value of personal injury claims. An analysis is performed by the independent actuarial firm quarterly and is reviewed by management. The methodology used by the actuary includes a development factor to reflect growth or reduction in the value of these personal injury claims. It is based largely on CSXT's historical claims and settlement experience.

Occupational & Asbestos
    
Occupational claims arise from allegations of exposures to certain materials in the workplace, such as solvents, soaps, chemicals (collectively referred to as “irritants”) and diesel fuels (like exhaust fumes) or allegations of chronic physical injuries resulting from work conditions, such as repetitive stress injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome and hearing loss. The Company is also party to a number of asbestos claims by current or former employees alleging exposure to asbestos in the workplace.
    
An analysis of occupational claims is performed quarterly by an independent third-party actuarial firm and reviewed by management. Management performs a quarterly review of asserted asbestos claims, and an analysis is performed annually by an independent third-party specialist and reviewed by management. The objective of the occupational and asbestos claims analyses performed by the third-party actuarial firm and specialist (the "third-party specialists") is to determine the number of incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims. The third-party specialists analyze CSXT's historical claim filings, settlement amounts, and dismissal rates to determine future anticipated claim filing rates and average settlement values for occupational and asbestos claims reserves. The potentially exposed population is estimated by using CSX's employment records and industry data. From this analysis, the third-party specialists provide an estimate of the IBNR claims liability.

Environmental

Environmental reserves were $87 million for the second quarter 2013. The Company is a party to various proceedings related to environmental issues, including administrative and judicial proceedings involving private parties and regulatory agencies. The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party at approximately 245 environmentally impaired sites. Many of these are, or may be, subject to remedial action under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, or CERCLA, also known as the Superfund Law, or similar state statutes. Most of these proceedings arose from environmental conditions on properties used for ongoing or discontinued railroad operations. A number of these proceedings, however, are based on allegations that the Company, or its predecessors, sent hazardous substances to facilities owned or operated by others for treatment, recycling or disposal. In addition, some of the Company's land holdings were leased to others for commercial or industrial uses that may have resulted in releases of hazardous substances or other regulated materials onto the property and could give rise to proceedings against the Company.

In any such proceedings, the Company is subject to environmental clean-up and enforcement actions under the Superfund Law, as well as similar state laws that may impose joint and several liability for clean-up and enforcement costs on current and former owners and operators of a site without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct. These costs could be substantial.

NOTE 4. Casualty, Environmental and Other Reserves, continued

In accordance with the Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations Topic in the ASC, the Company reviews its role with respect to each site identified at least quarterly, giving consideration to a number of factors such as:
 
type of clean-up required;
nature of the Company's alleged connection to the location (e.g., generator of waste sent to the site or owner or operator of the site);
extent of the Company's alleged connection (e.g., volume of waste sent to the location and other relevant factors); and
number, connection and financial viability of other named and unnamed potentially responsible parties at the location.

Based on the review process, the Company has recorded amounts to cover contingent anticipated future environmental remediation costs with respect to each site to the extent such costs are estimable and probable. The recorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs are undiscounted. 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. Payments related to these liabilities are expected to be made over the next several years.

Currently, the Company does not possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of additional liabilities, if any, on some sites until completion of future environmental studies. In addition, conditions that are currently unknown could, at any given location, result in additional exposure, the amount and materiality of which cannot presently be reasonably estimated. Based upon information currently available, however, the Company believes its environmental reserves accurately reflect the cost of remedial actions currently required.

Other

Other reserves of $64 million for the second quarter 2013 include liabilities for various claims, such as longshoremen disability claims, and claims for property, automobile and general liability.

NOTE 5.    Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

The Company maintains numerous insurance programs with substantial limits for property damage (which includes business interruption) and third-party liability.  A certain amount of risk is retained by the Company on each of the liability and property programs.  The Company has a $25 million retention per occurrence for the non-catastrophic property program (such as a derailment) and a $50 million retention per occurrence for the liability and catastrophic property programs (such as hurricanes and floods).
 
While the Company believes its current insurance coverage is adequate to cover its damages, future claims could exceed existing insurance coverage or insurance may not continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates.

Legal
 
The Company is involved in litigation incidental to its business and is a party to a number of legal actions and claims, various governmental proceedings and private civil lawsuits, including, but not limited to, those related to fuel surcharge, environmental and hazardous material exposure matters, FELA claims by employees, other personal injury or property claims and disputes and complaints involving certain transportation rates and charges. Some of the legal proceedings include claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages and others are, or are purported to be, class actions. While the final outcome of these matters cannot be reasonably determined, considering, among other things, the legal defenses available and liabilities that have been recorded along with applicable insurance, it is currently the opinion of CSX management that none of these pending items will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. An unexpected adverse resolution of one or more of these items, however, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity in that particular period.
The Company is able to estimate a range of possible loss for certain legal proceedings for which a loss is reasonably possible in excess of reserves established. The Company has estimated this range to be $4 million to $24 million in aggregate at June 28, 2013. This estimated aggregate range is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions. Accordingly, the Company's estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses may vary significantly from the current estimate.

Fuel Surcharge Antitrust Litigation

In May 2007, class action lawsuits were filed against CSXT and three other U.S.-based Class I railroads alleging that the defendants' fuel surcharge practices relating to contract and unregulated traffic resulted from an illegal conspiracy in violation of antitrust laws. In November 2007, the class action lawsuits were consolidated and are now pending in federal court in the District of Columbia. The suit seeks treble damages allegedly sustained by purported class members as well as attorneys' fees and other relief. Plaintiffs are expected to allege damages at least equal to the fuel surcharges at issue.

In June 2012, the court certified the case as a class action. The decision was not a ruling on the merits of plaintiffs' claims, rather a decision to allow the plaintiffs to seek to prove the case as a class. The defendant railroads petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit for permission to appeal the District Court's class certification decision. In August 2012, the Court of Appeals referred the petition to a merits panel, and directed the parties to submit briefs addressing both the petition and the merits of the appeal. The Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on May 3, 2013 but has not issued a ruling as of the date of this filing. Although the District Court issued an order to delay dissemination of notice to members of the certified class pending the outcome of the appeal, all other aspects of the underlying case are moving forward. Expert reports have been filed and motions for summary judgment and expert exclusions are due October 2, 2013.

CSXT believes that its fuel surcharge practices were arrived at and applied lawfully and that the case is without merit. Accordingly, the Company intends to defend itself vigorously. However, penalties for violating antitrust laws can be severe, and an unexpected adverse decision on the merits could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity in that particular period or for the full year.
    
NOTE 6.    Employee Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans principally for salaried, management personnel.  For employees hired on or before December 31, 2002, the plans provide eligible employees with retirement benefits based predominantly on years of service and compensation rates near retirement.  For employees hired in 2003 or thereafter, benefits are determined based on a cash balance formula, which provides benefits by utilizing interest and pay credits based upon age, service and compensation. 

In addition to these plans, the Company sponsors a self-insured, post-retirement medical plan and a life insurance plan that provide benefits to full-time, salaried, management employees, hired prior to January 1, 2003, upon their retirement if certain eligibility requirements are met.  Medicare-eligible retirees are covered by a health reimbursement arrangement, which is an employer-funded account that can be used for reimbursement of eligible medical expenses. Non-Medicare eligible retirees are covered by a self-insured program.  The life insurance plan is non-contributory.

NOTE 7.    Debt and Credit Agreements, continued

Credit Facility
    
CSX has a $1 billion unsecured, revolving credit facility backed by a diverse syndicate of banks. This facility expires in September 2016, and as of the date of this filing, the Company has no outstanding balances under this facility. The facility allows borrowings at floating (LIBOR-based) interest rates, plus a spread, depending upon CSX's senior unsecured debt ratings. LIBOR is the London Interbank Offered Rate which is a daily reference rate based on the interest rates at which banks offer to lend unsecured funds. As of second quarter 2013, CSX was in compliance with all covenant requirements under this facility.

Receivables Securitization Facility

The Company's $250 million receivables securitization facility has a 364-day term and expires in June 2014. The Company's intention is to continue to renew this facility prior to its expiration. The purpose of this facility is to provide an alternative to commercial paper and a low cost source of short-term liquidity. As of the date of this filing, the Company has no outstanding balances under this facility.

NOTE 8.    Income Taxes

During second quarter 2013, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $17 million, or $0.02 per share, as a result of a deferred tax adjustment, the resolution of certain tax matters and a change in state tax legislation. During second quarter 2012, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $9 million, or $0.01 per share, as a result of the resolution of certain tax matters as well as changes in state tax legislation. There have been no material changes to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits during second quarters 2013 and 2012.

NOTE 9.    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 and long-term debt. Disclosure of the fair value of pension plan assets is only required annually. Also, this rule clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value 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 and long-term debt. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. 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.)

Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Company's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 NOTE 9.    Fair Value Measurements, continued

The valuation methods described below may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Investments
 
The Company's investment assets, valued with assistance from a third-party trustee, consist of certificates of deposits, commercial paper, corporate bonds, government securities and auction rate securities and are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet per the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic in the ASC. There are several valuation methodologies used for those assets as described below.

Certificates of Deposit and Commercial Paper (Level 2): Valued by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations.
Corporate Bonds and Government Securities (Level 2): Valued using price evaluations reflecting the bid and/or ask sides of the market for a similar investment as of the last day of the period.
Auction Rate Securities (Level 3): Valued using a discounted cash flow model, because there is currently no active market for trading.
The Company's investment assets are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets as summarized in the table below. Additionally, the amortized cost basis of these investments was $595 million and $742 million as of June 28, 2013 and December 28, 2012, respectively.

Long-term Debt
Long-term debt is reported at carrying amount on the consolidated balance sheets and is the Company's only financial instrument with fair values significantly different from their carrying amounts. The majority of the Company's long-term debt is valued with assistance from an independent third party who utilizes closing transactions, market quotes or market values of comparable debt. For those instruments not valued by the third party, the fair value has been estimated by applying market rates of similar instruments to the scheduled contractual debt payments and maturities. These market rates are provided by the same third party. All of the inputs used to determine the fair value of the Company's long-term debt are Level 2 inputs.

The fair value of outstanding debt fluctuates with changes in a number of factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, interest rates, market conditions, values of similar financial instruments, size of the transaction, cash flow projections and comparable trades. Fair value will exceed carrying value when the current market interest rate is lower than the interest rate at which the debt was originally issued. The fair value of a company's debt is a measure of its current value under present market conditions. It does not impact the financial statements under current accounting rules.

The fair value and carrying value of the Company's long-term debt is as follows:

NOTE 10.     Other Comprehensive Income

CSX reports comprehensive earnings or loss in accordance with the Comprehensive Income Topic in the ASC in the Consolidated Comprehensive Income Statement. Total comprehensive earnings are defined as all changes in shareholders' equity during a period, other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders (e.g. issuance of equity securities and dividends). Generally, for CSX, total comprehensive earnings equals net earnings plus or minus adjustments for pension and other post-retirement liabilities. Total comprehensive earnings represent the activity for a period net of tax and were $552 million and $529 million for second quarters 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1,028 million and $987 million for six months 2013 and 2012, respectively.

While total comprehensive earnings is the activity in a period and is largely driven by net earnings in that period, accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (“AOCI”) represents the cumulative balance of other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of the balance sheet date. For CSX, AOCI is primarily the cumulative balance related to pension and other post-retirement benefit adjustments and CSX's share of AOCI of equity method investees. Changes in the AOCI balance by component are shown in the table below.

Total revenue increased 2% year-over-year driven by volume growth and higher revenue per unit resulting from pricing gains across most markets. Expenses also increased 2% versus the prior year primarily as a result of inflation and higher incentive compensation. These increases in expenses were partially offset by efficiency-related cost savings, gains on operating properties and reduced fuel expense.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Second Quarter 2013
Revenue

Volume increased 1% year-over-year as growth in merchandise and intermodal more than offset lower coal volume. Total revenue increased by 2% year-over-year driven by volume growth and higher revenue per unit resulting from pricing gains across most markets.

Merchandise

Agricultural Sector

Agricultural Products - Volume decreased due to lower shipments of feed grain, soybeans and ethanol. Feed grain and soybean shipments were impacted by low supplier inventories caused by last year's drought and increased competition from imports. Ethanol shipments declined as a result of lower gasoline demand in the U.S. and reduced production.

Phosphates and Fertilizers - Volume increased as the reopening of a customer mine and higher demand led to more short haul phosphate rock shipments to fertilizer production facilities. Fertilizer volume also grew as low crop inventories and strong crop prices led to an increase in application by farms to improve crop yields.

Food and Consumer - Volume declined due to a reduction in alcoholic beverage shipments. This reduction was primarily driven by consolidation within a customer's distribution network that resulted in lower shipments for CSX.

Industrial Sector

Chemicals - Volume growth was driven by an increase in energy-related shipments that include crude oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and frac sand. The rise in crude oil shipments was due to increased supply of low-cost crude from shale drilling activity, resulting in new shipments to east coast refineries.

Automotive - Automotive volume grew as North American light vehicle production increased 5% year-over-year. This increase was partially offset by competitive losses that occurred earlier this year in both automotive parts and finished vehicles.

Metals - Volume decreased due to lower shipments of sheet steel that were negatively impacted by competitive losses that occurred earlier this year and capacity reductions from mill closures.

Housing and Construction Sector

Forest Products - Volume growth was led by an increase in building product shipments due to the continued recovery of the residential housing market.

Minerals - Volume increased in aggregates (which include crushed stone, sand and gravel) due to the continued recovery in construction activity and modal conversion growth with an existing customer.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Waste and Equipment - Volume decreased as military and machinery shipments were negatively impacted by government budget constraints and the expiration of the federal tax credit on the production of wind energy machinery. Partially offsetting these decreases was growth in waste shipments which was driven by an increase in construction debris due to the continued recovery in construction activity and environmental remediation projects.
 
Coal

Export declines were driven by decreased shipments of U.S. thermal coal, primarily to Europe, and increased competition from other countries due to global oversupply. Partially offsetting this decrease, shipments of domestic coal increased due to higher coal generation as natural gas prices increased.

Intermodal

Domestic volume growth was driven by highway-to-rail conversions, expanded service offerings and growth with existing customers. International volume was up slightly as new services were partially offset by volume lost as a result of carrier port shifts.

Other

Other revenue increased year over year primarily due to higher revenue of $16 million from customers who did not meet minimum contractual volumes.

Expenses

Expenses in the second quarter 2013 increased $37 million from the prior year's second quarter. Significant variances are described below.

Labor and Fringe expense increased $33 million due to the following:

Incentive compensation costs were $24 million higher reflecting higher expected award payouts.

Efficiencies, despite volume growth, reduced labor costs $19 million due to the year-over-year improvement in crew starts and overtime, reduced headcount, as well as training savings due to lower hiring.

Wage expense increased $18 million as a result of inflation.

Various other costs increased $10 million during the quarter.

Materials, Supplies and Other expense increased $10 million due to the following:

Gains on operating rail properties increased year-over-year by $16 million. During the quarter, a gain of $22 million was recognized due to a non-monetary exchange of easements and rail assets. Additionally, the recognition of the deferred gain from the 2011 sale of an operating rail corridor to the state of Florida decreased $6 million year-over-year.

Inflation increased $10 million.

Train accidents and various other costs increased $16 million during the quarter, primarily driven by costs related to derailments, despite the improvement of the FRA train accident frequency rate.

Fuel expense decreased $13 million due to improved efficiency and a lower average price per gallon of 2% for locomotive fuel.

Depreciation expense increased $13 million due to larger asset base.
                  
Interest expense increased $1 million primarily due to higher average debt balances during second quarter 2013 partially offset by lower average interest rates.

Other income - net increased $4 million primarily due to higher non-operating income.

Income tax expense was flat year over year primarily due higher earnings offset by a deferred tax adjustment, the resolution of certain tax matters and a change in state tax legislation.

Six Months Results of Operations

Revenue increased $49 million to $6,027 million as a result of volume growth in many of the markets CSX serves along with higher yields resulting from pricing gains across most markets. Other revenue also increased primarily due to higher revenue from customers who did not meet minimum contractual volumes.
  
Operating income increased $39 million to $1,838 million primarily due to higher revenue, lower labor costs as a result of efficiency and gains on operating properties partially offset by inflation, higher incentive compensation and depreciation costs.

Interest expense increased $4 million primarily due to higher average debt balances during six months 2013 partially offset by lower average interest rates.

Other income-net decreased $3 million primarily due to higher non-operating expenses.

Income tax expense decreased $1 million primarily due to the extension of certain prior year tax credits, a deferred tax adjustment, the resolution of certain tax matters as well as changes in state tax legislation partially offset by higher earnings.

The Company measures and reports safety and service performance.  The Company strives for continuous improvement in these measures through training, innovation and investment. For example, the Company's safety and train accident prevention programs rely on the latest tools, programs and employee participation that strengthen the safety culture in a supportive environment that allows each employee to be successful at CSX. Continued capital investment in the Company's assets, including track, bridges, signals, equipment and detection technology also supports safety performance. CSX safety programs are designed to prevent incidents that can impact employees, customers and the communities we serve.

The Company routinely collaborates with the Federal Railroad Administration ("FRA") and industry organizations as well as federal, state and local governments on the development and implementation of safety programs and initiatives. For example, CSX, Operation Lifesaver, Inc., the U.S. Department of Transportation and other major railroads from across the country have partnered in the Common Sense campaign to reduce the number of injuries and deaths around tracks and trains. In addition to these initiatives, CSXT also has an ongoing public safety program to clear-cut trees and vegetation at public passive highway-rail intersections (crossings with no flashing lights or gates) to improve the public's ability to discern rail hazards.

At CSX, operational success is built on employee commitment to maintaining a constant focus on safety. During second quarter 2013, the FRA reportable personal injury frequency index increased 43 percent to 0.93; however, CSX remains a leader in a very safe industry. The reported FRA train accident frequency rate improved 7 percent year over year to 1.81 reflecting continued momentum in accident reduction.

Network reliability and service metrics showed strong improvements during second quarter 2013. On-time originations improved 2 percent to 0.91 percent, and on-time arrivals improved 5 percent to 0.82 percent.  Average train velocity increased 3 percent to 23 miles per hour, and dwell improved 6 percent to 21.9 hours.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following are material changes in the consolidated balance sheets and sources of liquidity and capital, which provide an update to the discussion included in CSX's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

Material Changes in Consolidated Balance Sheets and Significant Cash Flows

Consolidated Balance Sheets

Total assets increased $310 million from year end primarily due to the increase in net properties of$549 million resulting from capital investments. This increase was partially offset by the decline in cash (including short-term investment activity) of $354 million.
    
Total liabilities and shareholders' equity combined increased $310 million from year end which was primarily due to net earnings of $994 million and deferred income taxes of $217 million. Partially offsetting these increases were debt repayments of $455 million, dividends paid of $296 million and share repurchases of $95 million.

Significant Cash Flows

Cash decreased in both years, however, the decrease was $29 million more for the six months ended 2013 primarily due to the following:

No debt issued versus $300 million in the prior year
Lower proceeds from net sales of short-term investments of $274 million

The above decreases were partially offset by the following increases in cash:
No pension plan contribution versus $275 million in the prior year
Lower share repurchases of $205 million

Planned capital investments for 2013 are $2.3 billion, including expected spending of approximately $325 million for Positive Train Control ("PTC"). This amount excludes investments related to partially or wholly reimbursable public-private partnerships where reimbursements may not be fully received in a given year. Over half of the 2013 investment will be used to sustain the core infrastructure. The remaining amounts will be allocated to locomotives, freight cars, high return projects that drive growth and productivity such as intermodal terminal capacity and major track expansion along the River Line between northern New Jersey and the Albany, N.Y., region. CSX intends to fund capital investments through cash generated from operations.  

Over the long term, the Company expects to incur significant capital costs in connection with the implementation of PTC. CSX estimates that the total multi-year cost of PTC implementation will be at least $1.7 billion. This estimate includes costs for installing the new system along tracks, upgrading locomotives, adding communication equipment and developing new technologies. Total PTC spending life-to-date through June 2013 was $713 million.

Liquidity and Working Capital

As of the end of second quarter 2013, CSX had $1,017 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. CSX has a $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility backed by a diverse syndicate of banks. This facility expires in September 2016 and as of the date of this filing, the Company has no outstanding balances under this facility. CSX uses current cash balances for general corporate purposes, which may include reduction or refinancing of outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, contributions to the Company's qualified pension plan, redemptions and repurchases of CSX common stock and dividends to shareholders. See Note 7, Debt and Credit Agreements.

The Company's $250 million receivables securitization facility has a 364-day term and expires in June 2014. The Company's intention is to continue to renew this facility prior to its expiration. The purpose of this facility is to provide an alternative to commercial paper and a low cost source of short-term liquidity. As of the date of this filing, the Company has no outstanding balances under this facility.

Working capital can also be considered a measure of a company's ability to meet its short-term needs. CSX had a working capital surplus of $71 million and $174 million as of June 2013 and December 2012, respectively. This decline since year end is primarily due to cash used for capital investments, long-term debt repaid and dividends paid which more than offset cash from operations.

The Company's working capital balance varies due to factors such as the timing of scheduled debt payments and changes in cash and cash equivalent balances as discussed above. The Company continues to maintain adequate current assets to satisfy current liabilities and maturing obligations when they come due. Furthermore, CSX has sufficient financial capacity, including its revolving credit facility, trade receivable facility and shelf registration statement to manage its day-to-day cash requirements and any anticipated obligations. The Company from time to time accesses the credit markets for additional liquidity.

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 certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on a regular basis. Consistent with the prior year, significant estimates using management judgment are made for the following areas:
 
casualty, environmental and legal reserves;
pension and post-retirement medical plan accounting;
depreciation policies for assets under the group-life method; and
income taxes.

For further discussion of CSX's critical accounting estimates, see the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report and in other materials filed with the SEC, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made by the Company, are forward-looking statements. The Company intends for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act may contain, among others, statements regarding:
projections and estimates of earnings, revenues, margins, volumes, rates, cost-savings, expenses, taxes or other financial items;
expectations as to results of operations and operational initiatives;
expectations as to the effect of claims, lawsuits, environmental costs, commitments, contingent liabilities, labor negotiations or agreements on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity;
management's plans, strategies and objectives for future operations, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, safety and service performance, proposed new services and other matters that are not historical facts, and management's expectations as to future performance and operations and the time by which objectives will be achieved; and
future economic, industry or market conditions or performance and their effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as "will," "should," “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “preliminary” and similar expressions. The Company cautions against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect its good faith beliefs with respect to future events and are based on information currently available to it as of the date the forward-looking statement is made. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the timing when, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved.
    
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and actual performance or results could differ materially from those anticipated by any forward-looking statements. 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. The following important factors, in addition to those discussed in Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of CSX's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and elsewhere in this report, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statements:

legislative, regulatory or legal developments involving transportation, including rail or intermodal transportation, the environment, hazardous materials, taxation, and initiatives to further regulate the rail industry;
the outcome of litigation, claims and other contingent liabilities, including, but not limited to, those related to fuel surcharge, environmental matters, taxes, shipper and rate claims subject to adjudication, personal injuries and occupational illnesses;
changes in domestic or international economic, political or business conditions, including those affecting the transportation industry (such as the impact of industry competition, conditions, performance and consolidation) and the level of demand for products carried by CSXT;
natural events such as severe weather conditions, including floods, fire, hurricanes and earthquakes, a pandemic crisis affecting the health of the Company's employees, its shippers or the consumers of goods, or other unforeseen disruptions of the Company's operations, systems, property or equipment;
competition from other modes of freight transportation, such as trucking and competition and consolidation within the transportation industry generally;
the cost of compliance with laws and regulations that differ from expectations (including those associated with Positive Train Control implementation) and costs, penalties and operational impacts associated with noncompliance with applicable laws or regulations;
the impact of increased passenger activities in capacity-constrained areas, including potential effects of high speed rail initiatives, or regulatory changes affecting when CSXT can transport freight or service routes;
unanticipated conditions in the financial markets that may affect timely access to capital markets and the cost of capital, as well as management's decisions regarding share repurchases;
changes in fuel prices, surcharges for fuel and the availability of fuel;
the impact of natural gas prices on coal-fired electricity generation;

availability of insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates or insufficient insurance coverage to cover claims or damages;
the inherent business risks associated with safety and security, including a cybersecurity attack which would threaten the availability and vulnerability of information technology, adverse economic or operational effects from actual or threatened war or terrorist activities and any governmental response;
labor and benefit costs and labor difficulties, including stoppages affecting either the Company's operations or customers' ability to deliver goods to the Company for shipment;
the Company's success in implementing its strategic, financial and operational initiatives;
changes in operating conditions and costs or commodity concentrations; and
the inherent uncertainty associated with projecting economic and business conditions.
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 CSX's other SEC reports, which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and the Company's website at www.csx.com. The information on the CSX website is not part of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided under Part II, Item 7A (Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk) of CSX's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of June 28, 2013, under the supervision and with the participation of CSX's Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and 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, as of June 28, 2013, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in CSX's periodic SEC reports. There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. CSX Purchases of Equity Securities

CSX is required to disclose any purchases of its own common stock for the most recent quarter. CSX purchases its own shares for two primary reasons: to further its goals under its share repurchase program and to fund the Company’s contribution required to be paid in CSX common stock under a 401(k) plan which covers certain union employees.
In April 2013, CSX announced a new $1 billion share repurchase program which is expected to be completed by April 2015. Management's assessment of market conditions and pertinent facts guide the timing and volume of all repurchases.
Share repurchase activity of $95 million for the second quarter 2013 was as follows:
