Norfolk Southern Confirms 1Q Financials In Line with Preliminary Results

By Denny Jacob

 

Norfolk Southern confirmed its first-quarter results were in line with preliminary results issued earlier in the month.

The railroad operator on April 9 reported railway operating revenues of about $3 billion and income from railway operations of $213 million. Adjusted earnings per-share were $2.49.

Norfolk said revenues were down 4% due to RPU headlines primarily from lower fuel surcharge and the continuation of an adverse mix along the patterns it experienced in the fourth-quarter despite volume growth.

Norfolk's results included the impact of a $600 million agreement in principle to resolve a consolidated class-action lawsuit relating to the East Palestine derailment.
