Governance Social Responsibility and Employee Relations
• Regulated Industry: The potential for increased government regulation to constrain rate increases will affect rail profit growth if current proposed legislation gains traction in Congress.
• Fuel Costs: High fuel cost is expected to negatively impact financial results.
• Competition: The Company faces competition from other railroads, motor carriers, and to a lesser extent, ships, barges, and pipelines.
• Cyclical Exposure: Railroads earnings can be highly cyclical, given the asset intensity and dependency on economic growth.
• Significant Coal Exposure: Coal is one of the rail's largest and most profitable commodities. Increased environment regulation pressure would negatively affect the long-term coal demand.
