14 rewritten, 107 added, 4 removed, 104 unchanged
[removed: *We Rely on Technology and Technology Improvements in Our Business Operations*] [added: *The ability to update or maintain technology could adversely affect our operations*] – We rely on information technology in all aspects of our business, including technology systems operated by us (whether created by us or purchased), under control of third parties, and open-source software.
If we do not have sufficient capital or do not deploy sufficient capital in a timely manner to acquire, develop, or implement new technology or maintain or upgrade current systems, such as Positive Train Control [removed: (PTC)] [added: (PTC), NetControl,] or the latest version of our transportation control systems, we may suffer a rail service outage or competitive disadvantage within the rail industry and with companies providing other modes of transportation service, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
Significant and sustained interruptions of trade with Mexico, Canada, or countries in Southeast Asia, including China, could adversely affect customers and other entities that, directly or indirectly, purchase or rely on rail transportation services in the U.S. as part of their operations, and any such interruptions, including international armed [removed: conflicts] [added: conflicts,] such as the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
Any one or more of the following could cause a significant and sustained interruption of trade with Mexico, Canada, or countries in Southeast Asia: (a) a deterioration of security for international trade and businesses; (b) the adverse impact of new laws, rules, and regulations or the interpretation or enforcement of laws, rules, and regulations by government entities, courts, or regulatory bodies, including the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) or other international trade agreements; (c) actions of taxing authorities that affect our customers doing business in or with foreign countries; (d) any significant adverse economic developments, such as extended periods of high inflation, material disruptions in the banking sector or in the capital markets of these foreign countries, and significant changes in the valuation of the currencies of these foreign countries that could [added: materially affect the cost or value of imports or exports; (e) shifts in patterns of international trade, including as a result of changes to international trade agreements or policies, that adversely affect import and export markets; (f) a material reduction in foreign direct investment in these countries; and (g) public health crises, including the outbreak of pandemic or contagious disease, such as the coronavirus and its variant strains (COVID).]
[removed: An] [added: Changes to trade policy both U.S. and foreign, including] imposition of tariffs on [removed: imports or other changes to U.S. trade policy] [added: imports,] could cause demand for shipping from international markets to decrease, and if the declines are significant enough, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
Therefore, if [removed: one] [added: any] of [removed: the] [added: our two] domestic suppliers of locomotives discontinues manufacturing locomotives, supplying parts, or providing maintenance for any reason, including bankruptcy or insolvency or the inability to manufacture locomotives that meet efficiency or regulatory emissions standards, we could experience significant cost increases and reduced availability of the locomotives that are necessary for our operations.
Additionally, we utilize a limited number of steel producers that meet our [added: rail] specifications.
Significant legislative activity in Congress or regulatory activity by other government branches or agencies, such as the STB, could expand regulation of railroad operations and pricing for rail services, which could reduce the viability of capital spending on our rail network, facilities, and equipment, and [removed: have a material adverse effect on] [added: increase] our [removed: results of operations, financial condition,] [added: costs for purchased goods] and [removed: liquidity.][added: services.]
Motor carriers in particular [removed: can] [added: generally] have an advantage over railroads with respect to transit times and timeliness of service.
Additionally, any future consolidation of the rail industry could [removed: materially affect our competitive environment.][added: result in increased competition among industry participants.]
Restrictions, caps, taxes, or other controls on emissions of [removed: GHGs,] [added: greenhouse gases (GHGs),] including diesel exhaust, could significantly increase our operating costs.
[added: Government incentives] encouraging the use of alternative sources of [removed: energy] [added: energy, including modifications or elimination of such incentives,] also can affect certain of our customers and the markets for certain of the commodities we carry in a manner that could unpredictably alter our traffic patterns or reduce demand.
Government mandates may lead to the premature adoption of unproven and unreliable technology, which could negatively affect operational reliability, customer [removed: service] [added: service,] and supply chain continuity.
International, political, and economic factors, events and conditions, including international armed conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars, and other geopolitical tensions in the Middle [removed: East,] [added: East and elsewhere,] affect the volatility of fuel prices and supplies.
The disclosures in this section reflect our beliefs and opinions as to factors that could materially and adversely affect us in the future.
References to past events are provided by way of example only and are not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in the past or their likelihood of occurring in the future.
Such legislative or regulatory activity, or recent tariff activity imposed in the U.S. and retaliatory tariffs implemented in other countries, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
During fiscal year 2025, new tariffs were imposed in the U.S. for imports from a broad range of countries and materials.
Several countries also implemented or proposed retaliatory tariffs on imports from the U.S., as well as other barriers to trade.
Incremental import tariffs adversely affected demand for our services and increased our costs for purchased goods and services during fiscal year 2025 and may continue to do so in 2026.
In addition, retaliatory tariffs by regions outside the U.S., currently in effect or adopted in the future, may impact demand for our services and our costs for purchased goods and services.
Pending acquisition risks
*The mergers are subject to conditions, some or all of which may not be satisfied or completed on a timely basis, if at all.
Failure to complete the mergers could have material adverse effects on our business —* On July 28, 2025, the Company, Norfolk Southern, Ruby Merger Sub 1 Corporation, and Ruby Merger Sub 2 LLC, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the merger agreement).
The completion of the mergers (as defined in the merger agreement) is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, the receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals, which make the completion of the mergers and timing thereof uncertain.
Also, either the Company or Norfolk Southern may terminate the merger agreement if the mergers have not been consummated by January 28, 2028, which is referred to as the end date (subject to an automatic extension in certain circumstances), except that this right to terminate the merger agreement will not be available to any party whose failure to perform any obligation under the merger agreement has been the primary cause of the failure of the mergers to be consummated on or before that date.
If the mergers are not completed, our ongoing business may be materially adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the mergers, we will be subject to a number of risks, including the following:
- the market price of our common stock could decline;
- we could owe substantial termination fees to Norfolk Southern under certain circumstances;
- time, resources, and costs committed by our management team to matters relating to the mergers could otherwise have been devoted to pursuing other beneficial opportunities;
- we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets or from customers, suppliers, employees, labor unions, or other business partners; and
- we will be required to pay our respective costs relating to the mergers, such as legal, accounting, and printing fees, whether or not the mergers are completed.
In addition, if the mergers are not completed, we could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the mergers or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against us to perform our obligations under the merger agreement, and whether or not any such litigation has any merit, the cost of defending such litigation may be significant.
The materialization of any of these risks could adversely impact our ongoing business.
Similarly, delays in the completion of the mergers could, among other things, result in additional transaction costs, loss of revenues, or other negative effects associated with uncertainty about completion of the mergers.
*The merger agreement contains provisions that limit our ability to pursue alternatives to the mergers, and, in specified circumstances, could require us to pay substantial termination fees to Norfolk Southern —* The merger agreement contains certain provisions that restrict our ability to initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage, or, subject to certain exceptions, engage in discussions or negotiations with respect to, or approve or recommend, any alternative proposal.
In some circumstances, upon termination of the merger agreement in connection with an alternative proposal, we may be required to pay a termination fee of $2.5 billion to Norfolk Southern.
These provisions could discourage a potential acquiror of us or alternative merger partner that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant portion of the Company or pursuing an alternative acquisition transaction with us from considering or proposing such a transaction, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per-share value than the per-share value proposed to be realized in the mergers.
In particular, a termination fee, if applicable, could result in a potential acquiror of us or alternative merger partner proposing to pay a lower price to our shareholders than it might otherwise have proposed to pay absent such a fee.
If the merger agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, and we or Norfolk Southern seek another business combination, we may not be able to negotiate a transaction with another party on terms comparable to, or better than, the terms of the merger agreement.
*The mergers are subject to the receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals, which requisite regulatory approvals may never be obtained, therefore preventing completion of the mergers.
In addition, in granting such approvals, regulatory authorities may impose conditions that could have a significant adverse effect on the Company, Norfolk Southern, or the combined company and the expected benefits of the mergers therefore preventing completion of the mergers —* Before the mergers may be completed, the requisite regulatory approvals must have been obtained, including the approval, authorization, or exemption by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (STB) of the mergers and other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement within the jurisdiction of the STB.
The terms and conditions of the approvals that are granted may impose requirements, concessions, limitations, or costs or place restrictions on the conduct of the combined company’s business.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, the Company and Norfolk Southern have each agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with each other in doing, all things necessary, proper, or advisable to cause the conditions to closing set forth in the merger agreement to be satisfied and to consummate and make effective the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement prior to the end date, except that we are not required to take, or commit to take, or agree to or accept any “materially burdensome regulatory condition” (as defined in the merger agreement).
For purposes of the foregoing, “reasonable best efforts” includes, among others, (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to, and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, hold separate, or disposition of any and all of the share capital or other equity interest, assets, products, or businesses of the Company or of Norfolk Southern and its subsidiaries and (ii) otherwise taking or committing to take any actions that after the first effective time (as defined in the merger agreement) would limit our freedom of action with respect to, or our ability to retain, or otherwise agreeing to any restriction, requirement, or limitation with respect to our assets, products, or businesses, in each case as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the closing.
The STB and other regulatory and governmental authorities may impose requirements, concessions, and other conditions on the granting of such approvals.
If such regulatory and governmental authorities seek to impose such requirements, concessions, or conditions, lengthy negotiations may ensue among such authorities, the Company and Norfolk Southern.
Such requirements, concessions, and conditions and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying completion of the mergers and such requirements, concessions, and conditions may not be identified or satisfied for an extended period of time.
Such requirements, concessions and conditions may also impose additional costs or limitations on the combined company following the completion of the mergers and the parties have agreed to accept such requirements, concessions, and conditions, even if significant, subject to the agreed-upon materially burdensome regulatory condition limitation in favor of us.
These requirements, concessions, and conditions may therefore reduce the anticipated benefits of the mergers, including synergies, which could also have a significant adverse effect on the combined company’s business and cash flows and results of operations, and we cannot predict what, if any, requirements, concessions, and conditions may be required by regulatory or governmental authorities whose approvals are required.
The requisite regulatory approvals may not be obtained at all, may not be obtained in a timely fashion, and may contain conditions on the completion of the mergers.
In January 2026, the STB announced its finding that the major merger application filed by the Company and Norfolk Southern was incomplete, as a result of which the STB rejected the application without prejudice.
The decision does not result in the dismissal of the mergers, and the Company is permitted to file a revised application, which will commence a new review by the STB for completeness.
If we experience further delays as a result of the STB’s review process or we are unable to obtain other
Some of the factors, events, and contingencies discussed below may have occurred in the past, and the disclosures below are not representations as to whether or not the factors, events, or contingencies have occurred in the past, but are provided because future occurrences of such factors, events, or contingencies could have a material adverse effect.

materially affect the cost or value of imports or exports; (e) shifts in patterns of international trade, including as a result of changes to international trade agreements or policies, that adversely affect import and export markets; (f) a material reduction in foreign direct investment in these countries; and (g) public health crises, including the outbreak of pandemic or contagious disease, such as the coronavirus and its variant strains (COVID).

Freight revenues [removed: increased 1% year-over-year to $22.8] [added: of $23.2] billion [added: increased 2% from 2024] driven by [added: core pricing gains and] a [removed: 3%] [added: 1%] increase in [removed: volumes and core pricing gains,] [added: volumes,] partially offset by [removed: lower fuel surcharge revenues and negative mix of] traffic [added: mix] (for example, a relative increase in [removed: international intermodal] [added: coal and rock] shipments, which have a lower [removed: ARC).][added: ARC, combined with a decline in lumber shipments, which have a higher ARC) and lower fuel surcharge revenues.]
Volume increases were primarily driven by [removed: international intermodal and] [added: coal,] grain and grain [removed: product] [added: products, industrial chemicals and plastics, and rock] shipments, partially offset by weaker demand for [removed: coal] [added: automotive] and [removed: rock] [added: energy and specialized markets] shipments.

Fuel surcharge revenues in [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] decreased [removed: $0.4 billion] [added: $218 million] due to [removed: a 15% decrease in] [added: lower] fuel prices and the lag impact of fluctuating fuel prices (it can generally take up to two months for changing fuel prices to affect fuel surcharge recoveries), partially offset by higher volumes.
In [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] other subsidiary revenues decreased compared to [removed: 2023 primarily driven by a weaker demand for intermodal shipments at our subsidiary that brokers intermodal and transload logistics services and] [added: 2024 due to] the [removed: partial] transfer of our commuter operations to Metra.
Accessorial revenues decreased in [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] compared to [removed: 2023 driven by] [added: 2024 as a result of] lower intermodal [removed: accessorial] [added: container] revenues [removed: because of our] [added: due to an] intermodal equipment [removed: sale, partially offset by] [added: sale and] a one-time contract [removed: settlement.][added: settlement, both of which occurred in 2024, partially offset by higher intermodal accessorial revenues.]

2025 Results
- Safety – Building on the foundation and commitment to our safety culture, 2025 furthered our progress towards world-class safety.
With a focus on four central pillars – Injury Prevention, Leverage Technology, Situational Awareness Testing, and Peer-to-Peer Engagement, we are cultivating a safety-focused mindset so all of our employees return home safely each day.
Training is vital to teach our employees how to safely execute those critical tasks in order to reduce the risk of injury or derailment.
COMMIT goes beyond traditional classroom learning, with an emphasis on in-the-field training with employees actively running the railroad.
The focus on these four pillars continues to drive improvement, resulting in our best-ever personal injury and derailment incident rate annual safety results.
- Service – Bolstered by sequentially improving freight car velocity and terminal dwell, our network remained fluid throughout 2025 as we achieved best-ever results for many of our operating metrics.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, freight car velocity increased to 225 daily miles per car, an improvement of 8%, while terminal dwell declined 8% during the same period compared to 2024.
Both service performance index measures improved to essentially three-year performance bests as we achieved intermodal service performance of 99% and manifest service performance of 100% for the full year 2025.
- Operational Excellence – We effectively adapted to shifts in business traffic mix throughout 2025 as we handled elevated international intermodal shipments in the first half of the year coupled with strong bulk shipments throughout the year.
As customer demand changed, we efficiently modified our resources to match demand while improving our service performance.
Cash provided by operating activities was positively impacted by $0.3 billion due to the enactment of H.R.1 and the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation.
2026 Outlook
Critical safety tasks will be reinforced.
Our culture is ingrained with a safety-first mindset, critical to our success, both operationally and financially, and our focus will not deviate in 2026.
2026 industrial production is forecasted to be essentially flat with 2025, coupled with reduced expectations for housing starts and light vehicle sales.
Lower international intermodal business, largely due to the resumption of historical trade patterns, is expected to negatively impact volumes.
However, higher coal demand, from elevated natural gas prices and increased coal-fired electricity production, is expected to positively impact volumes.
Bulk volume growth compared to 2024 was driven by increased use of coal in electricity generation due to higher natural gas prices coupled with business wins, in addition to, strength in export grain to Mexico and soybean crush production.
These volume gains were partially offset by reduced food and beverage shipments.
Volumes increased 1% compared to 2024 due to stronger demand for rock, plastics, and industrial chemicals shipments partially offset by lower iron ore (as a result of tariff uncertainties), petroleum, and lumber carloads.
The heavy demand from increased U.S. West Coast imports continued into the first half of 2025 due to uncertainty related to trade policies, resulting in first half international intermodal volumes up 17%.
Traffic shifted back to historical trade patterns in the second half of 2025 and international intermodal volumes decreased 24% compared to the second half of 2024, resulting in 6% lower international intermodal volumes for 2025.
Strong domestic intermodal volumes helped to offset the decline in international shipments as a result of business development wins.
Automotive shipments were down 4% year-over-year due to tariff uncertainties in the first half of 2025 and reduced manufacturer production from softer consumer demand.
| *Millions* | | | 2025 | | | *2024* | | | *2023* | | | % Change 2025 v 2024 | | | *% Change 2024 v 2023* | | |
In addition, the year-over-year comparison was negatively impacted by a gain on the sale of intermodal equipment in 2024 and higher crew staffing agreement ratification charges in 2025 as we reached agreements in both years.
Active train, engine, and yard (TE&Y) force levels decreased 3% in 2025 on 1% increased carloads due to improved network fluidity.
Purchased services and materials increased 4% in 2025 compared to 2024 driven by inflation (including tariff-related material expenses), acquisition-related expenses, and higher locomotive maintenance expense was partially offset by productivity and lower expenses incurred by our subsidiaries.
The comparison was also negatively impacted by a favorable contract settlement in 2024.
Gross-ton miles increased 3% in 2025 and partially offset the impact of lower fuel prices and improved fuel consumption rate.
Higher other rental expense and lower equity income partially offset the favorable expense drivers.

*Other income, net* – Other income increased $279 million in 2025 compared to 2024 driven by $295 million in higher real estate income, including $250 million in industrial park land sales.
In addition, the effective interest rate of 4.1% in 2025 increased from 4.0% in 2024.
*Income tax expense* – Income tax expense decreased in 2025 compared to 2024.
While pre-tax income was higher in 2025, the increase was more than offset by a $115 million reduction in deferred tax expense resulting from newly enacted Kansas legislation, along with the favorable impact of purchased tax credits during the year.
Locomotive productivity improved 3% in 2025 compared to 2024 driven by improved network fluidity and asset utilization.
Our train length increased 2% compared to 2024 due to train length improvement initiatives and increases in coal train length, coinciding with increased shipments.
Intermodal SPI improved 9 points as we adjusted to shifting international intermodal customer demand during 2025.
2024 Results
- Safety – 2024 was a transformational year on our journey to becoming the safest railroad.
Our strategy is broken into four pillars – Injury Prevention, Leverage Technology, Situational Awareness Testing, and Peer-to-Peer Engagement.
Injury Prevention efforts focus on specific, critical tasks to reduce the risk of injury or derailment.
Training is key to helping our employees understand how to execute those tasks safely.
This goes beyond the classroom, with an emphasis on being in the field with the employees as they are performing the activities that run the railroad.
[Table of](#idba64231467a472f8d7c1b3c8b6a4729_7) [Contents](#idba64231467a472f8d7c1b3c8b6a4729_7)
The focus on these four pillars is driving results.
- Service – Service performance index for both intermodal and manifest products improved 2 and 4 points, respectively, compared to 2023.
Throughout the year we improved network fluidity as reflected in 2% faster freight car velocity and record terminal dwell, improved 3% from 2023.
- Operational Excellence – Network performance throughout 2024 was strong.
While we experienced some powerful weather events in the second quarter and a second half surge in international intermodal shipments, most of our operating metrics improved year-over year.
We maintained a resource buffer that allowed us to strategically integrate crews, locomotives, and freight cars into the network to efficiently handle the growth and recover from the weather events.
Both cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow were higher by $384 million due to payments in 2023 related to back wages for agreements reached with our labor unions.
2025 Outlook
Critical safety tasks will be reinforced and enhanced by adding critical-thinking scenarios to the classroom curriculum.
Safety is paramount to the success of the railroad and deeply ingrained in our culture, and this will not change in 2025.
Current forecasts for 2025 industrial production show a slight increase versus 2024.
Lower coal demand, resulting from ongoing competitive energy dynamics and reduced coal-fired electricity production, and lower international intermodal business, due to the west coast volume surge in 2024, are expected to negatively impact volumes.
Additionally, the way our customers are affected by and respond to the implementation of new tariffs may influence our volume levels and traffic flows.
Volumes declined 4% compared to 2023 driven by reduced use of coal in electricity generation because of low natural gas prices, coal fired plant capacity, and mild winter weather, partially offset by strength in export grain to Mexico and several other grain products.
Additionally, the volume declines were partially offset by increased fertilizer shipments due to strong demand and a 2023 customer outage.
Volumes for coal and renewables and food and refrigerated shipments were negatively impacted by outages and service challenges due to repeated snow events in Wyoming and flooding in California in the first quarter of 2023 positively impacting the year-over-year comparisons.
Volumes decreased 1% compared to 2023 driven by lower demand for rock, due to weather, high inventories, and softness in Southern markets, and decreased sand shipments due to the use of local sources, partially offset by strength in petroleum, industrial chemicals, and plastics.
Starting in the third quarter of 2024, international intermodal experienced heavy demand due to increased U.S. West Coast imports, a result of freight shifting from the East Coast and Canadian ports due to uncertainty related to labor negotiations, driving volumes up over 30% in the second half of the year compared to the second half of 2023.
In addition, business development efforts in domestic intermodal drove volume growth in 2024 compared to 2023.
Automotive shipments were flat year-over-year as business development wins were offset by market weakness and unplanned production decreases.
In addition, positively impacting the year-over-year comparison are lower labor agreement ratification charges as we reached agreements impacting crew staffing in both years, and lower weather-related costs from less impactful winter weather in the first quarter of 2024 compared to 2023.
Train, engine, and yard (TE&Y) force levels were flat compared to 2023 as improved network fluidity allowed us to handle a 3% increase in volumes and the increased needs associated with labor agreements without increasing the size of that workforce.
Purchased services and materials decreased 4% in 2024 compared to 2023 driven by declines in locomotive maintenance expense due to a smaller active fleet as productivity improved year-over-year, decreased volume-related drayage cost incurred at one of our subsidiaries, and a favorable contract settlement, partially offset by inflation and volume-related costs.
The effective interest rate was 4.0% in both periods.
*Income Tax Expense* – Income tax expense increased in 2024 compared to 2023 driven by higher pre-tax income in 2024 and higher deferred tax expense reductions in 2023, partially offset by the benefit of purchased federal tax credits in 2024.
In 2023, the states of Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Arkansas enacted legislation to reduce their corporate income tax rates for future years resulting in a $114 million reduction of our deferred tax expense.
The 2023 metrics were negatively impacted by operational challenges caused by weather in the first quarter and train crew shortages in some locations in the first half of 2023, positively impacting the year-over-year comparison.
Locomotive productivity improved 5% in 2024 compared to 2023 driven by improved network fluidity and asset utilization despite maintaining a buffer in 2024 to flex the fleet size as we experienced and subsequently recovered from certain weather events and reacted to higher volume levels.
Our train length increased 1% compared to 2023 due to train length improvement initiatives and increases in international intermodal shipments, which generally move on longer trains, partially offset by declines in coal train length.
Intermodal SPI improved 2 points, at the same time international volume surged.
Our active TE&Y workforce increased to support carload demand and increased crew needs associated with labor agreements that went into effect in the third quarter of 2023.

February 6, 2026
The Union Pacific team continued to build on ‘what’s possible’ in 2025, and we delivered best-ever full year results across safety, service, and operating performance while growing our volumes.
These results demonstrate that we are committed to our strategy – Safety, Service, and Operational Excellence leads to Growth – and understand what we need to do to set the Company up for future success.
We know success can be measured in many ways, but to us it’s about serving our customers, communities, and employees while driving value to our owners.
Total volume increased 1% versus 2024, driven by coal, industrial chemicals and plastics, grain and grain products, and rock shipments, partially offset by weaker demand for automotive and energy and specialized markets shipments.
We achieved an operating ratio of 59.8%, a 10-basis point improvement versus 2024.
This improvement is the result of the entire team’s commitment to building a safer, more consistent and cost-efficient network, so we can grow with our customers.
Safety is the foundation of everything we do.
Our unwavering commitment is for every employee to go home safe, every day.
In 2025, we meaningfully improved our personal injury and derailment rates and reported the best safety results in Company history.
Additionally, our employee safety results were the best in the industry.
We will benefit long-term from our investments in the Kansas City, Inland Empire, and Lathrop intermodal terminals; Texas Gulf Coast manifest terminals; and Pacific Northwest and Southwest main lines; while also modernizing transportation planning systems and providing our customers expanded visibility and self-service tools.
We effectively responded to shifts in business mix throughout 2025 as we handled elevated international intermodal shipments in the first half of the year coupled with strong bulk shipments throughout the year.
As customer demand changed and international intermodal volumes declined in the second half of the year, we effectively modified our resources to match demand while improving our service performance.
We managed our costs by operating a very efficient network, removing car handlings, and reducing dwell.
Our performance in workforce productivity, locomotive productivity, terminal dwell, train length, and fuel consumption was at best-ever levels in 2025.
The execution of our strategy led to Growth in 2025.
We remain agile and maintain a buffer of resources, positioning us to respond quickly to demand and win with our customers.
As we start the year in 2026, it’s clear the Union Pacific team is consistently delivering at the highest levels across Safety, Service, and Operational Excellence.
Our priority is to continue to improve and run a great railroad.
We also have a historic opportunity with Norfolk Southern to create America’s first transcontinental railroad.
As we work toward regulatory approval, we are focused on maintaining a strong financial position so we can continue to grow for many years to come.

February 7, 2025
The Union Pacific team had a very successful 2024, as we executed our strategy of Safety, Service, and Operational Excellence leading to Growth.
The commitment to that strategy enabled the team to achieve strong results across the board and set the Company up for future success.
Although success can be measured in many ways, it’s ultimately about delivering for our owners, putting our company in a great financial position, and being clear about what success is for our employees, our customers, and the communities where we operate.
Total volumes increased 3% versus 2023, driven by strength in international intermodal and agricultural products, more than offsetting a 20% decline in coal and the overall impact of a muted industrial economy.
We achieved an operating ratio of 59.9%, a 240-basis point improvement versus 2023, driven by the day-to-day actions of our team to improve the efficiency of our network.
This success doesn’t just happen.
It’s rooted in that commitment to our strategy.
Within Safety, we achieved significant reductions in both our personal injury and derailment rates.
Committing to what we can do and doing it with excellence.
We built on our success in late 2023 to provide our customers with an even stronger service product throughout 2024.
The list is long, but we will reap long-term rewards from investments in the Phoenix Intermodal Terminal, hump yard improvements, siding extensions, application programming interfaces (API), and new gate technologies, to name only a few.
As evident by the improvements to our operating ratio, we made great strides in 2024 to use our assets more efficiently.
However, that wasn’t done without challenges that tested our resource buffer.
During 2024, we saw international intermodal surge on the west coast, growing over 19% versus 2023.
Our ability to handle that volume with minimal impact on the rest of our network demonstrates the effectiveness of our buffer strategy.
More specifically on resource productivity, in 2024, we achieved 6% and 5% improvements in workforce and locomotive productivity, respectively.
In fact, our performance in workforce productivity for the year was a best ever result.
Our ability to excel in those three areas led to Growth in 2024.
Key is that in a muted economic environment, and with a significant decline in our coal volume, we still grew.
By executing on our strategy, we are outperforming our markets and positioning ourselves to be ready for even stronger growth when the freight economy improves.
As we turn the page to 2025, the team is focused on what’s possible and unlocking the value of the Union Pacific franchise.
We are ready to build on these accomplishments to achieve a higher level of success.
We understand that we’re the current stewards of this amazing, historic company.
And it’s our responsibility to leave it in a better place than we found it, as those before us had done.
We are grateful for that opportunity and ready to succeed.

The Company adopted this ASU on December 31, 2025, on a retrospective basis.
See the Supplemental Cash Flow Information of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Note 7 Income Taxes.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, *Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets*, which allows a practical expedient that assumes current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset.
The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years, must be adopted on a prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted.
We elected to early adopt ASU 2025-05 on December 31, 2025, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software*, which details the criteria for capitalization of internal-use software costs.
The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, may be adopted on a prospective, modified, or retrospective transition approach, and early adoption is permitted.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, *Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities*, which provides recognition, measurement, and presentation authoritative guidance for grants received by a business entity from a government.
The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, may be adopted on a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or retrospective approach, and early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
