Impairment

During third quarter 2025, the Company determined that the extended trucking market recession, ongoing economic uncertainty and lower than previously expected financial performance triggered the need to perform an interim impairment assessment for goodwill associated with Quality Carriers. The Company performed a quantitative assessment as of August 1, 2025, to estimate the fair value of Quality Carriers, which used a combination of the income and market approaches. The income approach used a discounted cash flow model with significant assumptions for future revenue growth, EBITDA margin, capital expenditures and discount rate. The market approach used revenue and EBITDA multiples for selected guideline public companies. These inputs are classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Based on the quantitative assessment, CSX concluded the fair value of Quality Carriers did not exceed its carrying value. As a result, all of the remaining Quality Carriers goodwill in the trucking operating segment was determined to be fully impaired and a $164 million impairment charge was recorded in operating expense in the accompanying consolidated income statements.

In addition to the quantitative assessment of goodwill, CSX evaluated the recoverability of the long-lived assets on the Quality Carriers reporting unit in the trucking operating segment. Based on the assessment, CSX concluded the carrying values of these assets were recoverable and no impairment was recorded.

The Company's annual assessment of goodwill for the remaining reporting units will take place as of October 1, 2025. For more information related to the Company's goodwill and other intangible assets, see CSX's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.
