"For the first time in six quarters, we reported overall volume growth, despite significantly weaker coal shipments.  It highlights the strength of our diverse franchise, the extensive network reach we have to various markets, and a strong grain harvest," said Jack Koraleski, Union Pacific chief executive officer.  "Volume growth, combined with solid core pricing gains and our continued focus on safety, service, and efficiency, generated a record fourth quarter operating ratio of 65.0 percent.   The fourth quarter wrapped up another tremendous year for Union Pacific, with our overall financial performance exceeding all previous milestones."

Fourth Quarter Summary
Operating revenue increased 7 percent in the fourth quarter 2013 to more than $5.6 billion versus $5.25 billion in the fourth quarter 2012.  Fourth quarter business volumes, as measured by total revenue carloads, grew 2 percent compared to 2012.  Volume growth from agricultural products, automotive, industrial products and intermodal shipments more than offset declines in coal and chemical volumes.  In addition:

  • Quarterly freight revenue increased 7 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2012, driven by core pricing gains and volume growth.
  • Union Pacific's operating ratio of 65.0 percent was a fourth quarter record, 2.1 points better than the fourth quarter 2012 and only 0.2 points off the all-time quarterly record of 64.8 percent set in the third quarter 2013.
  • Average quarterly diesel fuel prices decreased 4 percent to $3.11 per gallon in the fourth quarter 2013 compared to $3.25 per gallon in the fourth quarter 2012. 
  • The Customer Satisfaction Index of 93 matched the fourth quarter record set in 2012.
  • Quarterly train speed, as reported to the Association of American Railroads, was 25.8 mph, down 3 percent from the fourth quarter 2012, primarily due to severe winter weather conditions. 
  • The Company repurchased more than 4.9 million shares in the fourth quarter 2013 at an average share price of $159.36 and an aggregate cost of $786 million.

Summary of Fourth Quarter Freight Revenues

  • Agricultural up 19 percent
  • Automotive up 17 percent
  • Industrial Products up 14 percent
  • Chemicals up 3 percent
  • Intermodal flat
  • Coal down 1 percent

2013 Full Year Summary
For the full year 2013, Union Pacific reported net income of $4.4 billion or $9.42 per diluted share.  This compares to $3.9 billion or $8.27 per diluted share in 2012, 11 and 14 percent increases, respectively.  Operating revenue totaled a record $21.96 billion versus $20.9 billion in 2012.  Operating income increased 10 percent to more than $7.4 billion, up from $6.7 billion in 2012.  In addition:

  • Freight revenue grew 5 percent to $20.7 billion compared to $19.7 billion in 2012.  Carloadings were flat versus 2012 as declines in coal and agricultural shipments offset volume growth from automotive, chemicals, and industrial products shipments.  Intermodal volumes were flat compared to 2012.
  • Union Pacific's operating ratio of 66.1 percent was a full year record, improving 1.7 points from the previous record set in 2012. 
  • Average diesel fuel prices decreased 2 percent to $3.15 per gallon in 2013 from $3.22 per gallon in 2012. 
  • The Company increased its quarterly dividend per share by 14.5 percent to $0.79 cents per share in the third quarter 2013.  Total dividends declared for the full year 2013 grew 19 percent compared to the full year 2012.
  • The Company repurchased more than 14.5 million shares in 2013 at an average share price of $152.52, and an aggregate cost of $2.2 billion.

2014 Outlook
"As we look at 2014, we see signs that the economy is slowly strengthening.  We're well-positioned for economic growth and are confident in our ability to deliver on our customers' growing transportation needs," Koraleski said.  "We'll continue our unrelenting focus on both safety and service to our customers.  We strongly believe in the power and potential of the Union Pacific franchise to drive even greater financial performance and shareholder returns in the years to come."

Fuel consumption is computed as follows: gallons of fuel consumed divided by gross ton-miles in thousands.

   

Note: Average rail car inventory is no longer being reported as a key railroad performance measure because of recently identified inaccuracies in the AAR's calculation for the rail industry, which prevents comparisons to prior reporting periods.  The impact of changes in rail car inventory will be described, as necessary, in connection with our discussion of train speed and/or terminal dwell metrics.

Total debt plus net present value of operating leases plus after-tax unfunded pension and OPEB obligation divided by total debt plus net present value of operating leases plus after-tax unfunded pension and OPEB obligation plus equity. Operating leases were discounted using 5.7% at December 31, 2013 and 6.0% at December 31, 2012. The discount rate reflects our effective interest rate. Management believes this is an important measure to management and investors in evaluating the total amount of leverage in our capital structure including off-balance sheet obligations.

ROIC is considered a 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 in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of the Corporation's long-term capital investments, and we currently use ROIC as a performance criteria in determining certain elements of equity compensation for our executives. ROIC 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 Return on Average Common Shareholders' Equity.
