Earnings per diluted share of $2.57
Operating revenue down 5%
Reportable derailment rate improved 9%
OMAHA, Neb., July 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE: UNP) today reported 2023 second quarter net income of $1.6 billion, or $2.57 per diluted share. These results include the previously disclosed $67 million labor expense and $73 million income tax benefit. This compares to 2022 second quarter net income of $1.8 billion, or $2.93 per diluted share.
“The results this quarter were impacted by softening consumer markets, inflation, a one-time labor expense, and increased workforce levels,” said Lance Fritz, Union Pacific chairman, president, and chief executive officer. “The entire team remains focused on maintaining a solid service product while taking steps to recapture lost productivity and lay a strong foundation for sustainable future success. We took actions throughout the second quarter to drive greater network fluidity and provide our customers with better service. We finished the quarter with resource levels more aligned with demand, as we stored excess locomotives, improved recrew rates, and reduced borrowed-out employees.”
Financial Results: Core Pricing Gains Offset by Reduced Fuel Surcharge Revenue, Lower Volumes, and an Unfavorable Business Mix Second Quarter 2023 Compared to Second Quarter 2022
Operating revenue of $6 billion was down 5% driven by reduced fuel surcharge revenue, lower volumes, and an unfavorable business mix, partially offset by core pricing gains.
Business volumes, as measured by total revenue carloads, were down 2%.
Operating ratio was 63.0%, up 280 basis points. This includes an unfavorable 110 basis point impact from a one-time labor agreement payment and a 200 basis point benefit from falling fuel prices.
Operating income of $2.2 billion declined 12%.
The company repurchased 600,000 shares in second quarter 2023 at an aggregate cost of $120 million.
Operating Performance: Improved Service Performance Supported by Larger Crew Base Second Quarter 2023 Compared to Second Quarter 2022
Quarterly freight car velocity was 202 daily miles per car, an 8% improvement.
Quarterly locomotive productivity was 126 gross ton-miles (GTMs) per horsepower day, a 2% improvement.
Average maximum train length was 9,316 feet, a 1% decline.
Quarterly workforce productivity decreased 5% to 983 car miles per employee.
Fuel consumption rate of 1.086, measured in gallons of fuel per thousand GTMs, deteriorated 1%.
Union Pacific’s first half reportable derailment rate improved 9% to 2.45 per million train miles compared to 2.68 for 2022.
2023 Outlook Pressured by Challenging Demand and Cost Environment
Consumer-related volumes likely drive full year volume expectations below Industrial Production (Current forecast: +0.1%)
Pricing dollars in excess of inflation dollars
Forecasting $50 to $70 million in labor expense from new agreements in second half of 2023
2023 Capital Allocation:
Capital plan of $3.6 billion
Maintain dividend of $1.30/quarter
No further 2023 share repurchases planned
Leadership and Board Updates
In separate press releases issued today, the Company appointed Jim Vena as chief executive officer, named Beth Whited as president, elected Mike McCarthy as chairman and appointed two new independent directors, Doyle Simons, and John Wiehoff, to the Board.

The trailing twelve months income statement information ended June 30, 2023, is recalculated by taking the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, subtracting the six months ended June 30, 2022, and adding the six months ended June 30, 2023. |
|
[b] |
Represents the hypothetical interest expense we would incur (using the incremental borrowing rate) if the property under our operating leases were owned or accounted for as finance leases. |
|
* |
Total debt plus operating lease liabilities plus after-tax unfunded pension and OPEB (other postretirement benefit) obligations divided by net income plus income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, interest expense, and adjustments for other income and interest on operating lease liabilities. Adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and adjustments for other income and interest on operating lease liabilities) is considered non-GAAP financial measure by SEC Regulation G and Item 10 of SEC Regulation S-K and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. We believe this measure is important to management and investors in evaluating the Company’s ability to sustain given debt levels (including leases) with the cash generated from operations. In addition, a comparable measure is used by rating agencies when reviewing the Company’s credit rating. Adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, other information provided in accordance with GAAP. The most comparable GAAP measure is debt to net income ratio. The tables above provide a reconciliation from net income to adjusted EBITDA, debt to adjusted debt, and debt to net income to adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the incremental borrowing rate on operating lease liabilities was 3.4% and 3.3%, respectively. |
