Norfolk Southern Corporation reported Q2 2026 railway operating revenues of $3,465 million, up 11% from 2025, driven by higher fuel surcharge revenue, pricing, and modest volume growth across merchandise, intermodal, and coal. GAAP net income declined to $734 million and diluted EPS to $3.26 as operating expenses rose 21% on higher fuel, merger-related costs, and the shift from Eastern Ohio incident insurance recoveries to net expenses. The railway operating ratio rose to 67.6%.
On a non-GAAP basis excluding merger, restructuring, and Eastern Ohio items, Q2 income from operations increased 5% and diluted EPS grew 7% to $3.52, with an adjusted operating ratio of 65.5%. Year-to-date GAAP net income fell to $1,281 million, while adjusted diluted EPS increased to $6.17.
The pending stock-and-cash merger with Union Pacific remains subject to Surface Transportation Board approval and other conditions, with a potential $2.5 billion termination fee for either party in specified circumstances. Share repurchases are suspended under the Merger Agreement, though $6.3 billion remains authorized. Operating cash flow was $1,398 million in the first half, constrained by $322 million of Eastern Ohio cash payments, while debt-to-total-capitalization improved to 50.6% and liquidity is supported by $1,069 million of cash plus undrawn credit, securitization, and commercial paper facilities.
Norfolk Southern Corporation reported record second-quarter 2026 railway operating revenues of $3.5 billion, up $355 million, or 11%, versus second quarter 2025 on 4% higher volumes and stronger fuel surcharges. Income from railway operations was $1.1 billion and diluted EPS was $3.26.
The operating ratio deteriorated to 67.6% from 62.2%. Excluding merger-related expenses, restructuring and other charges, and effects of the Eastern Ohio incident, adjusted income from railway operations was $1.2 billion, adjusted operating ratio 65.5%, and adjusted diluted EPS $3.52, up 7% versus adjusted second quarter 2025.
For the first six months of 2026, net income was $1.28 billion and diluted EPS $5.69. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.40 billion.
