CSX REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER EARNINGS

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 30, 2003—CSX Corporation (NYSE: CSX) today reported first quarter net earnings of $99 million, or 46 cents per share, versus $25 million, or 12 cents per share, a year ago. Both quarters include the cumulative effect of a non-cash accounting change. In the 2003 quarter, earnings increased by an after-tax credit of $57 million, 26 cents per share, because of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” In the previous year’s first quarter, earnings were reduced by an after-tax charge of $43 million, 20 cents per share, due to the adoption of SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

Before the cumulative effects of these accounting changes, 2003 first quarter earnings were 20 cents per share compared to 32 cents per share in the 2002 first quarter. The 2002 results included a significant real estate transaction that was worth 11 cents per share.

Operating income at Surface Transportation, which includes CSX’s rail and intermodal units, was $169 million compared to $194 million in the first quarter of 2002 despite strong revenue growth. This was due primarily to increased costs associated with sharp spikes in fuel prices and operating expenses from extraordinarily harsh winter weather.

“In a fairly stagnant economy, we were able to post solid revenue gains in the merchandise and intermodal segments, reflecting favorable mix and continued success in our pricing program and our efforts to convert truck traffic to rail. We are excited by these revenue gains and the increased confidence that customers are placing in us,” said Michael J. Ward, CSX chairman and chief executive officer.

“We were, however, challenged on the cost side. Fuel expenses were up $54 million year-over-year and the severe winter weather affected the fluidity of the network negatively and caused significant labor and equipment expense increases.

“Our service measurements are now moving in the right direction,” Ward added. “I am optimistic that the fluidity of our network will be restored and that the first quarter hurdles are largely behind us. We have numerous productivity initiatives underway to reduce costs throughout this year and beyond. At the same time, we will continue to enhance our service and provide better products to our customers, keeping revenue initiatives as vibrant as they were in this past quarter.”

On a consolidated basis, revenues were $2.02 billion versus $1.96 billion a year ago with operating income of $177 million compared to $212 million in first quarter of 2002. Operating income at the Company’s international terminal business was $15 million, $4 million above 2002. First quarter consolidated operating income also included executive retirement expenses of $16 million.

On February 27, CSX completed the conveyance of its domestic shipping unit, CSX Lines, to the Carlyle Group. The pretax gain of $127 million will be recognized over 12 years which equals the duration of CSX’s vessel subleases to the venture.

CSX Corporation, based in Jacksonville, Fla., owns the largest rail network in the eastern United States. CSX Transportation Inc. and its 34,000 employees provide rail transportation services over a 23,000 route-mile network in 23 states, the District of Columbia and two Canadian provinces. CSX Corporation also provides intermodal and global container terminal operations through other subsidiaries. More information is available at the company’s website, www.csx.com.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)

In 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 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 cross tie 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.

(2)

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.

(3)

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 does not have a material effect on future earnings.

Quarterly Flash

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION OPERATING RESULTS

Surface Transportation revenue increased $85 million or 5 percent from last year’s first quarter. Operating expenses increased $110 million compared to the first quarter of 2002. This increase was primarily due to higher fuel prices, operational inefficiencies due to severe winter weather during 2003 and increased personal injury claims. Expenses were offset by $13 million of fuel surcharges billed to customers.

REVENUE

Merchandise

Merchandise revenues in the first quarter were up 6 percent on a 3 percent volume growth. All markets, except phosphates and fertilizers, showed year-over-year improvements.

•

Phosphates and Fertilizers – Weakness in phosphate rock, driven by customer production, along with declines in sulfur, and phosphoric acid were partially offset by increased nitrogen shipments, port and domestic phosphates.

•

Metals – Strong export market for sheet, growth in semi-finished steel, and improving scrap market for several key customers drove the favorable variance. Market strength is sustainable with continued modal conversions and focus on product development and warehouse alignment.

•

Forest and Industrial Products – Strength in printing paper, pulp board, and woodchip demand offset a weak building product market in the Eastern U.S. that was affected by extreme weather and slowed construction.

•

Agricultural and Food – CSX is benefiting from 2002 drought conditions as Western grain is moving east. Negative sourcing shifts in sweeteners and export markets remains weak. Feed grain and beans expected to show strength.

•

Chemicals – Positive performance in textile chemicals; liquid petroleum gas movements up significantly due to weather-related demand; plastics experienced a surge in traffic due primarily to inventory replenishment. Continued positive performance will be dependent on the overall chemical market growth.

•

Emerging Markets – Surging demand for military shipments drove the highly positive year-over-year performance. Waste movements, including municipal, construction, and industrial segments continue to grow.

Automotive

Automotive revenues grew $8 million or 4 percent 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, Coke and Iron Ore

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.

Intermodal

•

Domestic – Significant strength in transcontinental domestic container traffic continued. This, combined with the growth in imports being transloaded into domestic equipment, pushed the domestic revenue up to double-digit growth. Revenue per unit improved due to increased length of haul, a favorable pricing environment, and growth in higher priced door-to-door traffic.

•

International – In spite of continued diversion of the Pacific Rim traffic to East Coast ports, International still enjoyed a 7 percent volume growth. The shorter line hauls from the East Coast ports and empty equipment repositioning resulted in lower yields.

EXPENSE

Labor and Fringe expenses were up $10 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, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” 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.

Materials, Supplies and Other expenses increased $23 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. Increased volumes at CSX Intermodal also affected this cost category this quarter.

Conrail Operating Fees, Rents and Services were relatively flat, decreasing $1 million 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.

Inland Transportation costs were up $11 million over the prior year due to increased volumes at CSX Intermodal.

Depreciation expense increased $8 million—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 $37 million since $13 million of 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.

INTERNATIONAL TERMINALS

OPERATING RESULTS

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 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 increased to $15 million for the quarter, from $11 million for the prior year quarter.
