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:

Quarters Ended — March 28, 2003 March 29, 2002
Numerator (millions):
Net Earnings Before Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change $ 42 $ 68
Denominator (thousands):
Average Common Shares Outstanding 213,866 212,053
Effect of Potentially Dilutive Common Shares 298 1,137
Average Common Shares Outstanding, Assuming Dilution 214,164 213,190
Earnings Per Share:
Before Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change $ 0.20 $ 0.32
Assuming Dilution, Before Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change $ 0.20 $ 0.32

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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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:

Quarters Ended — March 28, 2003 March 29, 2002
Number of Shares (millions) 34 30
Average Exercise / Conversion Price $ 46.33 $ 47.32

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.

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:

March 28, 2003 December 27, 2002
(dollars in millions)
Amounts sold under:
Public Series of Certificates $ 300 $ 300
Private Series of Certificates 80 80
Total $ 380 $ 380
Retained Interest in Master Trust $ 476 $ 534

The fair value of retained interests approximates book value as the receivables are collected in approximately one month.

Quarters Ended — March 28, 2003 March 29, 2002
(dollars in millions)
Discounts on Sales of Accounts Receivable $ 6 $ 7

CSXT has retained responsibility for servicing accounts receivables held by the master trust. The average servicing period is less than one month. No servicing asset or liability has been recorded since the fees CSXT receives approximates its related costs.

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:

March 28, 2003 December 27, 2002
(dollars in millions)
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $ 95 $ 125

The decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts was primarily due to the write-off of uncollectible receivables.

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

CSX has entered into various interest rate swap agreements on the following fixed rate notes:

Maturity Date Notional Amount (millions) Fixed Interest Rate
December 1, 2003 $ 150 5.85 %
May 1, 2004 300 7.25 %
June 22, 2005 50 6.46 %
August 15, 2006 300 9.00 %
May 1, 2007 450 7.45 %
May 1, 2032 150 8.30 %
Total/Average $ 1,400 7.62 %

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.

CSX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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.

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.

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued

  1. 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:

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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

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.

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.

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.
