Shares of CSX Corporation (NYSE:CSX), declined -2.33% to $27.71, during its last trading session.
CSX Corporation (CSX) declared net earnings of $507 million for the third quarter of 2015, as compared to $509 million for the same period in 2014, which translates to a third quarter record $0.52 per share, contrast to $0.51 in the preceding year.
Revenue declined nine percent in the quarter, as gains in price were more than offset by the combination of lower fuel recovery, a three percent volume decline and continued transition in CSX’s business mix. At the same time, expenses declined 11 percent on the collective effect of continued low fuel prices, cost reductions reflecting lower volume and savings from efficiency initiatives. The resulting $933 million in operating income drove a third quarter record operating ratio of 68.3 percent.
CSX is still targeting its full-year expectations for earnings per share growth in the mid-single digits and meaningful margin expansion as it progresses toward its longer-term aim of a full-year operating ratio in the mid-60s. These targets remain intact despite expectations for 2015 coal revenue to decline about $450 million primarily due to continued low natural gas prices and high inventory levels. In that regard, the company now anticipates domestic coal volume to decline by more than 10 percent in 2015, while the full-year outlook for export coal volume remains about 30 million tons. These noteworthy coal headwinds are now also predictable to continue in 2016.
