1. Basis of Presentation

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 2024, is derived from audited financial statements. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2025.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with GAAP as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.

2. Accounting Pronouncements

3. Operations and Segmentation

The Railroad, along with its subsidiaries and rail affiliates, is our one reportable operating segment. Although we provide and analyze revenues by commodity group, we treat the financial results of the Railroad as one segment due to the integrated nature of our rail network.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance for our rail network and decides how to allocate resources based on net income as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Income. The measure of segment assets is reported on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as total assets.

Our operating revenues are primarily derived from contracts with customers for the transportation of freight from origin to destination.

Although our revenues are principally derived from customers domiciled in the U.S., the ultimate points of origination or destination for some products we transport are outside the U.S. Freight revenues from each of our commodity groups, as described in the table below, includes revenues from shipments to and from Mexico, which amounted to $752 million and $724 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $2.2 billion and $2.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Our significant segment expenses as monitored by the CODM are shown in the table below. This breakout of revenues and expenses is used by the CODM to monitor and assess the financial performance of our rail network by comparing actual results to prior years and plans.

4. Stock-Based Compensation

We have several stock-based compensation plans where employees receive nonvested stock options, nonvested retention shares, and nonvested stock units. We refer to the nonvested shares and stock units collectively as “retention awards”. Employees may also participate in our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP).

Information regarding stock-based compensation expense appears in the table below:


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
Millions	2025		2024		2025		2024
Stock-based compensation, before tax:
Stock options	$	6	$	4	$	19	$	13
Retention awards	30		23		78		58
ESPP [a]	3		6		13		16
Total stock-based compensation, before tax	$	39	$	33	$	110	$	87
Excess income tax benefits from equity compensation plans	$	3	$	3	$	11	$	13

[a]Effective with the June 10, 2025, purchase (for employee services rendered in May 2025), the Company match was changed from 40% to 20% of amounts contributed by the employee up to a maximum employee contribution of 5% of monthly salary (limited to $15,000 annually).

Stock options – Stock options are granted at the closing price on the date of grant, have 10-year contractual terms, and vest no later than 3 years from the date of grant. At September 30, 2025, outstanding stock options are not subject to performance or market-based vesting conditions.

The table below shows the annual weighted-average assumptions used for Black-Scholes valuation purposes:


Weighted-average assumptions	2025		2024
Risk-free interest rate	4.3%		4.2%
Dividend yield	2.2%		2.1%
Expected life (years)	4.3		4.4
Volatility	22.4%		28.7%
Weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted	$	48.70	$	61.75

The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant; the expected dividend yield is calculated as the ratio of dividends paid per share of common stock to the stock price on the date of grant; the expected life is based on historical and expected exercise behavior; and expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock price over the expected life of the stock option.

A summary of stock option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, is presented below:


	Options (thous.)	Weighted-average exercise price		Weighted-average remaining contractual term (in yrs.)	Aggregate intrinsic value (millions)
Outstanding at January 1, 2025	1,981	$	195.81	5.8	$	74
Granted	423	243.51		N/A	N/A
Exercised	(261)	162.09		N/A	N/A
Forfeited or expired	(21)	238.93		N/A	N/A
Outstanding at September 30, 2025	2,122	$	209.04	5.8	$	67
Vested or expected to vest at September 30, 2025	2,102	$	208.75	5.8	$	67
Options exercisable at September 30, 2025	1,428	$	194.51	4.5	$	63

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2025, there was $16 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 year. Additional information regarding stock option exercises appears in the following table:


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
Millions	2025		2024		2025		2024

Income tax benefit realized from option exercises	-		2		3		6
Aggregate grant-date fair value of stock options vested	-		-		16		15

Retention awards – Retention awards are granted at no cost to the employee, vest over periods lasting up to 4 years, and have dividends and dividend equivalents paid to participants during the vesting periods.

Changes in our retention awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were as follows:


	Shares (thous.)	Weighted-average grant-date fair value
Nonvested at January 1, 2025	915		$	222.50
Granted	229		243.48
Vested	(230)		205.15
Forfeited	(32)		230.39
Nonvested at September 30, 2025	882		$	232.19

At September 30, 2025, there was $68 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested retention awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 year.

Performance stock unit awards – In February 2025, our Board of Directors approved performance stock unit grants. This plan is based on performance targets for annual return on invested capital (ROIC) and operating income growth (OIG) compared to companies in the S&P 100 Industrials Index plus the Class I railroads. We define ROIC as net operating profit adjusted for interest expense (including interest on average operating lease liabilities) and taxes on interest divided by average invested capital adjusted for average operating lease liabilities.

The February 2025 stock units awarded to executives are subject to continued employment for 37 months, the attainment of certain levels of ROIC, and the relative three-year OIG. We expense two-thirds of the fair value of the units that are probable of being earned based on our forecasted ROIC over the three-year performance period, and with respect to the third year of the plan, we expense the remaining one-third of the fair value subject to the relative three-year OIG. We measure the fair value of performance stock units based upon the closing price of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant. Dividend equivalents are accumulated during the service period and paid to participants only after the units are earned.

Changes in our performance stock unit awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were as follows:


	Shares (thous.)	Weighted-average grant-date fair value
Nonvested at January 1, 2025	607		$	219.08
Granted	254		243.51
Vested	(72)		244.95
Unearned	(83)		244.35
Forfeited	(85)		218.45
Nonvested at September 30, 2025	621		$	222.78

At September 30, 2025, there was $18 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested performance stock unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. This expense is subject to achievement of the performance measures established for the performance stock unit grants.

5. Retirement Plans

We provide defined benefit retirement income to eligible non-union employees through qualified and non-qualified (supplemental) pension plans. Qualified and non-qualified pension benefits are based on years of service and the highest compensation during the latest years of employment, with specific reductions made for early retirements. Non-union employees hired on or after January 1, 2018, are no longer eligible for pension benefits, but are eligible for an enhanced 401(k) plan.

Expense

Pension expense is determined based upon the annual service cost of benefits (the actuarial cost of benefits earned during a period) and the interest cost on those liabilities, less the expected return on plan assets. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is applied to a calculated value of plan assets that recognizes changes in fair value over a 5-year period. This practice is intended to reduce year-to-year volatility in pension expense, but it can have the effect of delaying the recognition of differences between actual returns on assets and expected returns based on long-term rate of return assumptions. Differences in actual experience in relation to assumptions are not recognized in net income immediately but are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss and, if necessary, amortized as pension expense.

The components of our net periodic pension benefit/cost were as follows:


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
Millions	2025		2024		2025		2024
Service cost	$	9	$	12	$	31	$	39
Interest cost	45		47		135		139
Expected return on plan assets	(60)		(63)		(181)		(189)
Amortization of actuarial loss	2		4		6		8
Net periodic pension (benefit)/cost	$	(4)	$	-	$	(9)	$	(3)

Cash contributions

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash contributions totaled $0 to the qualified pension plans. Any contributions made during 2025 will be based on cash generated from operations and financial market considerations. Our policy with respect to funding the qualified pension plans is to fund at least the minimum required by law and not more than the maximum amount deductible for tax purposes. At September 30, 2025, we do not have minimum cash funding requirements for 2025.

6. Other Income

Other income included the following:

10. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable include freight and other receivables reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. At September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, our accounts receivable were reduced by $5 million and $6 million, respectively. Receivables not expected to be collected in one year and the associated allowances are classified as other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. At September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, receivables classified as other assets were reduced by allowances of $71 million and $69 million, respectively.

Receivables securitization facility – On July 28, 2025, the Railroad completed the renewal of the receivables securitization facility (the Receivables Facility). The new $600 million, 3-year facility replaces the prior $800 million facility and will mature in July 2028. Under the Receivables Facility, the Railroad sells most of its eligible third-party receivables to Union Pacific Receivables, Inc. (UPRI), a consolidated, wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary that may subsequently transfer, without recourse, an undivided interest in accounts receivable to investors. The investors have no recourse to the Railroad’s other assets except for customary warranty and indemnity claims. Creditors of the Railroad do not have recourse to the assets of UPRI.

The amount recorded under the Receivables Facility was $0 at both September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we issued $0 and repaid $0 under the Receivables Facility. The Receivables Facility was supported by $1.6 billion of accounts receivable as collateral at both September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, which, as a retained interest, is included in accounts receivable, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

The outstanding amount the Railroad maintains under the Receivables Facility may fluctuate based on current cash needs. The maximum allowed under the Receivables Facility is $600 million with availability directly impacted by eligible receivables, business volume, and credit risks, including receivables payment quality measures such as default and dilution ratios. If default or dilution ratios increase one percent, the allowable outstanding amount under the Receivables Facility would not materially change.

The costs of the Receivables Facility include interest, which will vary based on prevailing benchmark and commercial paper rates, program fees paid to participating banks, commercial paper issuance costs, and fees of participating banks for unused commitment availability. The costs of the Receivables Facility are included in interest expense and were $1 million and $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3 million and $7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

13. Financial Instruments

Short-term investments – All of the Company's short-term investments consist of time deposits and government agency securities. These investments are considered Level 2 investments and are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. As of both September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had $20 million of short-term investments, which is included in other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. All short-term investments have a maturity of less than one year and are classified as held-to-maturity.

Fair value of financial instruments – The fair value of our short- and long-term debt was estimated using a market value price model, which utilizes applicable U.S. Treasury rates along with current market quotes on comparable debt securities. All of the inputs used to determine the fair market value of the Corporation’s long-term debt are Level 2 inputs and obtained from an independent source. At September 30, 2025, the fair value of total debt was $26.8 billion, approximately $5.0 billion less than the carrying value. At December 31, 2024, the fair value of total debt was $25.3 billion, approximately $5.9 billion less than the carrying value. The fair value of the Corporation’s debt is a measure of its current value under present market conditions. The fair value of our cash equivalents approximates their carrying value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

14. Debt

Credit facilities – At September 30, 2025, we had $2.0 billion of credit available under our revolving credit facility (the Facility), which is designated for general corporate purposes and supports the issuance of commercial paper. Credit facility withdrawals totaled $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Commitment fees and interest rates payable under the Facility are similar to fees and rates available to comparably rated, investment-grade borrowers. The Facility allows for borrowings at floating rates based on Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), plus a spread, depending upon credit ratings for our senior unsecured debt. The Facility, set to expire May 20, 2027, requires UPC to maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) coverage ratio.

The definition of debt used for purposes of calculating the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA coverage ratio includes, among other things, certain credit arrangements, finance leases, guarantees, unfunded and vested pension benefits under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), and unamortized debt discount and deferred debt issuance costs. At September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA coverage ratio, which allows us to carry up to $47.8 billion of debt (as defined in the Facility), and we had $33.5 billion of debt (as defined in the Facility) outstanding at that date. The Facility does not include any other financial restrictions, credit rating triggers (other than rating-dependent pricing), or any other provision that could require us to post collateral. The Facility also includes a $150 million cross-default provision and a change-of-control provision.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we issued $0 and repaid $0 of commercial paper. At September 30, 2025, we had $0 of commercial paper outstanding. Our revolving credit facility supports our outstanding commercial paper balances, and, unless we change the terms of our commercial paper program, our aggregate issuance of commercial paper will not exceed the amount of borrowings available under the Facility.

Table of Contents

Shelf registration statement and significant new borrowings – We filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the SEC that became effective on February 13, 2024. On July 28, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to $20.0 billion of debt securities, replacing the prior authorization from 2024, which had $7.0 billion of authority remaining. Under our shelf registration, we may issue, from time to time, any combination of debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, or warrants for debt securities or preferred stock in one or more offerings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we issued the following unsecured, fixed-rate debt securities under our shelf registration:


Date						Description of securities
February 13, 2025						$1.00 billion of 5.100% Notes due February 20, 2035
						$1.00 billion of 5.600% Notes due December 1, 2054

We used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of common stock pursuant to our share repurchase programs. These debt securities include change-of-control provisions. At September 30, 2025, we had remaining authority from the Board of Directors to issue up to $20.0 billion of debt securities under our shelf registration.

Receivables securitization facility – As of both September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we recorded $0 of borrowings under our Receivables Facility as secured debt. (See further discussion in the "Receivables Securitization Facility" section of Note 10).

15. Commitments and Contingencies

See Note 18 for a discussion on the pending acquisition of Norfolk Southern Corporation (Norfolk Southern).

Asserted and unasserted claims – Various claims and lawsuits are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries. We cannot fully determine the effect of all asserted and unasserted claims on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. We have recorded a liability where asserted and unasserted claims are considered probable and where such claims can be reasonably estimated. We currently do not expect that any known lawsuits, claims, environmental costs, commitments, contingent liabilities, or guarantees will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity after taking into account liabilities and insurance recoveries previously recorded for these matters.

In December 2019, we received a putative class action complaint under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, alleging violation due to the use of a finger scan system developed and managed by third parties. While we believe that we have strong defenses to the claims made in the complaint and will vigorously defend ourselves, there is no assurance regarding the ultimate outcome. The outcome of this litigation is inherently uncertain, and we cannot reasonably estimate any loss or range of loss that may arise from this matter.

Personal injury – The Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA) governs compensation for work-related accidents. Under FELA, damages are assessed based on a finding of fault through litigation or out-of-court settlements. We offer a comprehensive variety of services and rehabilitation programs for employees who are injured at work.

Because of the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate outcome of personal injury claims, it is reasonably possible that future costs to settle these claims may range from approximately $389 million to $508 million. We record an accrual at the low end of the range as no amount of loss within the range is more probable than any other. Estimates can vary over time due to evolving trends in litigation.

Our personal injury liability activity was as follows:


Millions, for the nine months ended September 30,	2025		2024
Beginning balance	$	379	$	383
Current year accruals	82		87
Changes in estimates for prior years	9		(2)
Payments	(81)		(75)
Ending balance at September 30,	$	389	$	393
Current portion, ending balance at September 30,	$	105	$	114

Table of Contents

Environmental costs – We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. We have identified 361 sites where we are or may be liable for remediation costs associated with alleged contamination or for violations of environmental requirements. This includes 29 sites that are the subject of actions taken by the U.S. government, including 17 that are currently on the Superfund National Priorities List. Certain federal legislation imposes joint and several liability for the remediation of identified sites; consequently, our ultimate environmental liability may include costs relating to activities of other parties, in addition to costs relating to our own activities at each site.

Our environmental liability activity was as follows:


Millions, for the nine months ended September 30,	2025		2024
Beginning balance	$	268	$	245
Accruals	44		100
Payments	(55)		(76)
Ending balance at September 30,	$	257	$	269
Current portion, ending balance at September 30,	$	66	$	119

The environmental liability includes future costs for remediation and restoration of sites, as well as ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any anticipated recoveries from third parties. Cost estimates are based on information available for each site, financial viability of other potentially responsible parties, and existing technology, laws, and regulations. The ultimate liability for remediation is difficult to determine because of the number of potentially responsible parties, site-specific cost sharing arrangements with other potentially responsible parties, the degree of contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and quality of volumetric data related to many of the sites, and the speculative nature of remediation costs. Estimates of liability may vary over time due to changes in federal, state, and local laws governing environmental remediation. Current obligations are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

Indemnities – Our maximum potential exposure under indemnification arrangements, including certain tax indemnifications, can range from a specified dollar amount to an unlimited amount, depending on the nature of the transactions and the agreements. Due to uncertainty as to whether claims will be made or how they will be resolved, we cannot reasonably determine the probability of an adverse claim or reasonably estimate any adverse liability or the total maximum exposure under these indemnification arrangements. We do not have any reason to believe that we will be required to make any material payments under these indemnity provisions.

16. Share Repurchase Programs

Effective April 1, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 100 million shares of our common stock by March 31, 2028. As of September 30, 2025, we repurchased a total of 6.1 million shares of our common stock under the 2025 authorization. As part of the pending acquisition of Norfolk Southern described in Note 18, we paused our share repurchase program.

Our previous authorization, which was effective April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2025, was approved by our Board of Directors for up to 100 million shares of common stock. We repurchased a total of 31.7 million shares of our common stock under the 2022 authorization.

Table of Contents

The table below represents shares repurchased under repurchase programs in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:


	Number of shares purchased		Average price paid [a]
	2025	2024	2025		2024
First quarter [b]	5,745,601	-	$	250.74	$	-
Second quarter [c]	6,111,558	492,320	205.06		225.96
Third quarter	-	3,006,061	-		245.44
Total	11,857,159	3,498,381	$	227.20	$	242.70
Remaining number of shares that may be repurchased under current authority					93,888,442

[a]In the period of the final settlement, the average price under the accelerated share repurchase programs (ASRs) is calculated based on the total program value less the value assigned to the initial delivery of shares. The average price of the completed 2025 ASRs was $229.32.

[b]Includes 4,815,022 shares repurchased in 2025 under the ASRs at an average price $251.73.

[c]Includes an incremental 1,795,904 shares received upon final settlement in 2025 under the ASRs at an average price of $169.22.

Accelerated share repurchase programs – The Company has established ASRs with financial institutions to repurchase shares of our common stock. These ASRs have been structured so that at the time of commencement, we pay a specified amount to the financial institutions and receive an initial delivery of shares. Additional shares may be received at the time of settlement. The final number of shares to be received is based on the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the ASR term, less a discount and subject to potential adjustments pursuant to the terms of such ASR.

On February 18, 2025, the Company received 4,815,022 shares of its common stock repurchased under ASRs for an aggregate of $1.5 billion. Upon settlement of these ASRs in the second quarter of 2025, we received 1,795,904 additional shares.

ASRs are accounted for as equity transactions, and at the time of receipt, shares are included in treasury stock at fair market value as of the corresponding initiation or settlement date. The Company reflects shares received as a repurchase of common stock in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share.

17. Related Parties

UPRR and other North American railroad companies jointly own TTX Company (TTX). UPRR has a 37.03% economic interest in TTX while the other North American railroads own the remaining interest. In accordance with ASC 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Venture, UPRR applies the equity method of accounting to our investment in TTX.

TTX is a rail car pooling company that owns rail cars and intermodal wells to serve North America’s railroads. TTX assists railroads in meeting the needs of their customers by providing rail cars in an efficient, pooled environment. All railroads may utilize TTX rail cars through car hire (i.e., renting rail cars at stated rates).

UPRR had $2.0 billion and $1.9 billion recognized as investments related to TTX in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. TTX car hire expense of $115 million and $112 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $336 million and $321 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are included in equipment and other rents in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, UPRR had accounts payable to TTX of $75 million and $70 million at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

On July 28, 2025, Union Pacific, 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 merger agreement provides, among other things, for the acquisition of Norfolk Southern by Union Pacific, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified therein, through two mergers: (i) first, Ruby Merger Sub 1 Corporation will merge with and into Norfolk Southern with Norfolk Southern surviving as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific (the first merger); and (ii) second, immediately after the first merger, Norfolk Southern will merge with and into Ruby Merger Sub 2 LLC with Ruby Merger Sub 2 LLC surviving as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Union Pacific (second merger). The first merger and the second merger are collectively referred to as the mergers.

At the effective time of the first merger (first effective time), each share of Norfolk Southern common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the first effective time, except for shares held by Union Pacific or Norfolk Southern, or their direct or indirect subsidiaries (other than, with respect to shares held by Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, Ruby Merger Sub 1 Corporation, or Ruby Merger Sub 2 LLC, shares held on behalf of third parties), will be converted automatically into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable share of Union Pacific common stock and $88.82 in cash, without interest. Assuming completion of the mergers, we expect approximately 224.8 million shares of common stock to be issued and approximately $20 billion of cash consideration to be paid. The cash consideration is expected to be funded through a combination of new debt and cash accumulated through cash provided by operating activities. The actual value of the transaction may fluctuate based upon changes in the price of Union Pacific common stock and the number of Norfolk Southern common stock outstanding at the first effective time.

The combination of Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific would create America’s first transcontinental railroad that spans over 50,000 miles across 43 states with access to 10 international interchanges and approximately 100 ports.

Union Pacific filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-290282), which the SEC declared effective on September 30, 2025. Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern each also filed definitive proxy statements on October 1, 2025. Both Union Pacific's and Norfolk Southern's special meetings of shareholders will be held on November 14, 2025 (unless one or both are adjourned or postponed to a later date).

Completion of the mergers is conditioned on Union Pacific shareholders approving the share issuance proposal, Norfolk Southern shareholders approving the merger agreement proposal (each as described in the companies' definitive proxy statements), as well as the receipt of approval of the Surface Transportation Board (STB) and a number of other conditions before the mergers can be consummated, as described in the merger agreement. Norfolk Southern's management and Board of Directors will continue to manage Norfolk Southern until the first effective time, pursuing its independent business plans and growth strategies. Subject to completion of the mergers, the acquisition is expected to be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and currently expected to be completed in early 2027.

Union Pacific incurred the following acquisition-related expense associated with the merger agreement:


Millions	Three months ended September 30, 2025		Nine months ended September 30, 2025


Acquisition-related expense

Purchased services and materials	$	40	$	41
Other	1		1
Total acquisition-related expense [a]	$	41	$	42

[a]Certain acquisition-related costs are non-deductible for income tax purposes.

As of September 30, 2025, we incurred deferred share issuance costs of $8 million that will be recognized in paid-in-surplus upon completion of the mergers.

Both Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern may be required to pay the other a termination fee of $2.5 billion if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances described in the merger agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

UNION PACIFIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to

three and nine months ended September 30, 2024

For purposes of this report, unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to "Union Pacific", “UPC”, “Corporation”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” shall mean Union Pacific Corporation and its subsidiaries, including Union Pacific Railroad Company, which we separately refer to as “UPRR” or the “Railroad”.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and applicable notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1, and other information included in this report. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

The Railroad, along with its subsidiaries and rail affiliates, is our one reportable business segment. Although revenues are analyzed by commodity, we analyze the net financial results of the Railroad as one segment due to the integrated nature of the rail network.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires estimation and judgment that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. If these estimates differ materially from actual results, the impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be material. Our critical accounting estimates are available in Item 7 of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the first nine months of 2025, there have not been any significant changes with respect to our critical accounting estimates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarterly summary

The Company reported earnings of $3.01 per diluted share on net income of $1.8 billion and an operating ratio of 59.2% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to earnings of $2.75 per diluted share on net income of $1.7 billion and an operating ratio of 60.3% in the third quarter of 2024. Freight revenues increased 3% on slightly negative carloads in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 driven by core pricing gains and a more favorable business mix, partially offset by lower fuel surcharge revenue. Increased carloads in coal, industrial chemicals and plastics, and grain and grain products were offset by lower international intermodal carloads, which declined 17% in the third quarter of 2025.

Our rail network operations remained fluid in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 resulting in record performance for many of our key operating metrics. Freight car velocity increased 8% and terminal dwell improved 9%. Although volumes were essentially unchanged from the third quarter of 2024, we efficiently handled the shift in business traffic as we moved more bulk and manifest carloads and fewer international intermodal carloads with the traffic shifting back to historical trade patterns. In third quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, workforce productivity improved 6% and locomotive productivity improved 4% to record results as we efficiently utilized our resources and adjusted to the changing demand environments. Both manifest and intermodal service performance index measures improved over 10 points compared to last year, while train length continued to improve, increasing 2%.

Operating expenses slightly increased compared to the third quarter of 2024 due to inflation, acquisition-related expenses (see Note 18 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1), and higher depreciation. These increases were partially offset by productivity, lower casualty costs, and lower fuel prices. Compared to third quarter of last year, operating income increased 6% to $2.5 billion, and the operating ratio of 59.2% improved 1.1 points, reflecting top-line growth, solid operational performance, and productivity gains.

We generate freight revenues by transporting products from our three commodity groups. Freight revenues vary with volume (carloads) and average revenue per car (ARC). Changes in price, traffic mix, and fuel surcharges drive ARC. Customer incentives, which are primarily provided for shipping to/from specific locations or based on cumulative volume, are recorded as a reduction to operating revenues. Customer incentives that include variable consideration based on cumulative volume are estimated using the expected value method, which is based on available historical, current, and forecasted volume, and recognized as the related performance obligation is satisfied. We recognize freight revenues over time as shipments move from origin to destination. The allocation of revenues between reporting periods is based on the relative transit time in each reporting period with expenses recognized as incurred.

Other subsidiary revenues (primarily logistics and commuter rail operations) are generally recognized over time as shipments move from origin to destination. The allocation of revenues between reporting periods is based on the relative transit time in each reporting period with expenses recognized as incurred. Accessorial revenues are recognized at a point in time as performance obligations are satisfied.

Freight revenues increased 3% on slightly negative carloads in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 as a result of core pricing gains and a more favorable business mix, partially offset by lower fuel surcharge revenue. Increased carloads in coal, industrial chemicals and plastics, and grain and grain products were offset by lower international intermodal carloads, which declined 17% in the third quarter of 2025. For the year-to-date period of 2025, freight revenues also increased 3% driven by core pricing gains and 3% volume growth, partially offset by unfavorable business mix (for example, relative increases in shipments with lower ARC such as intermodal and coal) and lower fuel surcharge revenues. Increased shipments of intermodal, coal, and grain and grain products were partially offset by lower automotive shipments.

Each of our commodity groups includes revenues from fuel surcharges. Freight revenues from fuel surcharge programs decreased $33 million to $602 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $635 million in the same period of 2024 due the lag impact on fuel prices (it can generally take up to two months for changing fuel prices to affect fuel surcharge recoveries) and lower volumes, partially offset by higher fuel prices. For the year-to-date period of 2025, freight revenues from fuel surcharge programs declined $233 million compared to 2024 driven by lower fuel prices and the related price lag impact, partially offset by higher volume levels.

Other subsidiary revenues decreased in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily driven by the transfer of commuter operations to Metra and a weaker demand for auto parts shipments at our subsidiary that brokers intermodal and transload logistics services. Accessorial revenues increased in the third quarter 2025 compared to 2024 driven by improved intermodal accessorial revenues. For the year-to-date period, accessorial revenues decreased due to the sale of our intermodal equipment in the second quarter of 2024, resulting in lower intermodal accessorial revenues, and the comparison period was also negatively impacted by a one-time contract settlement recognized in the first quarter of 2024.

Table of Contents

Bulk – Bulk includes shipments of grain and grain products, fertilizer, food and refrigerated, and coal and renewables. Freight revenues from bulk shipments increased in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024 due to 7% volume growth for both periods and core pricing gains, partially offset by business mix (from increased coal shipments) and lower fuel surcharge revenues. The volume increases were driven by higher demand for coal used in electricity generation due to higher natural gas prices and business wins and strength in grain and grain products from increased exports and soybean crush production. Lower food and refrigerated carloads partially offset the volume growth.

Industrial – Industrial includes shipments of industrial chemicals and plastics, metals and minerals, forest products, and energy and specialized markets. Freight revenues from industrial shipments increased in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024 due to core pricing gains and volume increases, partially offset by business mix and lower fuel surcharge revenues. Quarterly increases in plastics, industrial chemicals, and steel carloads more than offset the reduced iron ore (as a result of tariff uncertainties) and government carloads. Year-to-date volume growth in industrial chemicals, rock, and plastics was partially offset by lower iron ore, petroleum products, waste shipments, and lumber.

Premium – Premium includes shipments of finished automobiles, automotive parts, and merchandise in intermodal containers, both domestic and international. Premium freight revenues decreased 2% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 driven by 5% lower volumes, partially offset by business mix and core pricing gains. Third quarter of 2025 intermodal volumes were down 5% driven by a 17% reduction in international intermodal carloads, partially offset by strong domestic intermodal growth. In 2024, international intermodal benefited from heavy demand due to a trade flow shift from the East Coast and Canadian ports to the West Coast that have now shifted back to historical trade patterns. Automotive shipments decreased in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 due to reduced production. For the year-to-date period of 2025 compared to 2024, premium freight revenues were flat as 3% volume increases and core pricing gains were offset by lower fuel surcharge revenues and business mix. Year-to-date intermodal volumes are up 4% driven by strong domestic intermodal growth in addition to elevated U.S. West Coast imports in the first half of 2025. Automotive shipments decreased in the year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024 due to reduced production and tariff uncertainties in the first half of the year.

Mexico business – Freight revenues from each of our commodity groups includes revenues from shipments to and from Mexico, which increased 4% to $752 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 driven by 4% volume growth due to increased intermodal and grain shipments, partially offset by lower beverage and steel shipments. For the year-to-date period of 2025, Mexico related freight revenues declined 2% on essentially flat volume driven by lower auto parts, finished vehicles, and beverage carloads, which offset growth in intermodal, grain, and petroleum product shipments.

Operating expenses slightly increased compared to the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2024 due to inflation, acquisition-related expenses (see Note 18 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1), and higher depreciation. These increases were partially offset by productivity and lower fuel prices.

Compensation and benefits – Compensation and benefits include wages, payroll taxes, health and welfare costs, pension costs, and incentive costs. For the third quarter of 2025, compensation and benefits expense decreased 1% compared to 2024 due to lower employee levels, partially offset by wage inflation and higher incentive compensation. For the year-to-date period, compensation and benefits expense increased 1% compared to 2024 due to wage inflation, volume-related costs, a $55 million crew staffing agreement ratification charge, and higher incentive compensation, partially offset by lower employee levels.

Table of Contents

Purchased services and materials – Expense for purchased services and materials includes the costs of services purchased from outside contractors and other service providers (including equipment maintenance and contract expense incurred by our subsidiaries for external transportation services); materials used to maintain the Railroad’s lines, structures, and equipment; costs of operating facilities jointly used by UPRR and other railroads; transportation and lodging for train crew employees; trucking and contracting costs for intermodal containers; leased automobile maintenance expense; and tools and supplies. Purchased services and materials increased 6% and 3%, respectively, in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024 driven by acquisition-related expenses, inflation, and an increase in derailment related expenses, offset by lower costs associated with improved locomotive productivity. The year-to-date period was also impacted by higher volume related cost and a 2024 favorable contract settlement.

Depreciation – The majority of depreciation relates to road property, including rail, ties, ballast, and other track material. Depreciation expense increased 3% for both the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024 driven by a higher depreciable asset base.

Fuel – Fuel includes locomotive fuel and gasoline for highway and non-highway vehicles and heavy equipment. Fuel expense increased in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 driven by an increase in gross ton-miles, partially offset by a decrease in locomotive diesel fuel prices and an improvement in the fuel consumption rate (computed as gallons of fuel consumed divided by gross ton-miles in thousands). For the year-to-date period of 2025, fuel expense decreased compared to 2024 driven by lower fuel prices and an improvement in the fuel consumption rate, partially offset by increased gross ton-miles. Locomotive diesel fuel prices averaged $2.56 and $2.60 per gallon (including taxes and transportation costs) in the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the year-to-date period, locomotive diesel fuel prices averaged $2.49 per gallon in 2025 compared to $2.71 per gallon in 2024.

Equipment and other rents – Equipment and other rents expense primarily includes rental expense that the Railroad pays for freight cars owned by other railroads or private companies; freight car, intermodal, and locomotive leases; and office and other rent expense, offset by equity income from certain equity method investments. Equipment and other rents expense decreased 11% in the third quarter of 2025 driven by favorable contract settlements, improved cycle times, and lower car hire related to the year-over-year decline in international intermodal demand, partially offset by lower equity income. The year-to-date period of 2025 compared to 2024 increased 2% driven by increased car hire for autoracks, higher demand for business utilizing freight cars owned by others (mainly intermodal), inflation, and lower equity income, partially offset by lower operating equipment lease expense.

Other – Other expense includes state and local taxes; freight, equipment, and property damage; utilities; insurance; personal injury; environmental remediation; employee travel; telephone and cellular; computer software; bad debt; and other general expenses. Other expense decreased 1% in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024 driven by lower environmental remediation and freight loss and damage costs, partially offset by higher state and local taxes. The year-to-date period was also negatively impacted by the 2024 gain on the sale of intermodal equipment.

Other income, net – Other income increased in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024 driven by higher real estate income. The year-to-date period of 2025 was also negatively impacted by the interest received in the second quarter of 2024 from the IRS on refund claims. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1, for additional detail.

Interest expense – Interest expense increased in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024 as a result of higher effective interest rates and higher weighted-average debt levels. The effective interest rate for both 2025 periods was 4.1% compared to 4.0% for both periods in 2024. The weighted-average debt levels were $32.2 billion and $31.4 billion for third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $32.2 billion and $31.8 billion for the year-to-date periods of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Table of Contents

Income tax expense – Income tax expense increased 2% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 due to higher pre-tax income and decreased 4% in the year-to-date period compared to 2024. In the second quarter of 2025, the state of Kansas enacted legislation modifying the corporate income tax apportionment formula for future years resulting in a $115 million reduction of our deferred tax expense. In the second quarter of 2024, the state of Arkansas enacted legislation to reduce its corporate income tax rate for future years resulting in an $8 million reduction of our deferred tax expense. Our effective tax rates were 22.9% and 23.7% for the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 21.7% and 23.5% for the year-to-date periods of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

[a]As reported to the STB.

Gross and revenue ton-miles – Gross ton-miles are calculated by multiplying the weight of loaded and empty freight cars by the number of miles hauled. Revenue ton-miles are calculated by multiplying the weight of freight by the number of rate miles. Gross ton-miles and revenue ton-miles increased 3% and 5%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, while corresponding carloads were flat. For the year-to-date period, gross ton-miles, revenue ton-miles, and carloads increased 4%, 5%, and 3%, respectively, compared to 2024. Changes in business mix drove the variances between gross ton-miles, revenue ton-miles, and carloads due to higher coal shipments that are generally heavier.

Freight car velocity – Freight car velocity measures the average daily miles per car on our network. The two key drivers of this metric are the speed of the train between terminals (average train speed) and the time a rail car spends at the terminals (average terminal dwell time). Freight car velocity increased 8% and 7%, respectively, in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024 driven by improvements in terminal dwell and train speed.

Locomotive productivity – Locomotive productivity is gross ton-miles per average daily locomotive horsepower available. Locomotive productivity increased 4% and 3% in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025, respectively, driven by improved network fluidity and asset utilization.

Train length – Train length is the average maximum train length on a route measured in feet. Our train length increased 2% in both the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024 due to train length improvement initiatives, specifically driven by increased coal and grain train volume moving on longer trains.

Table of Contents

Service performance index (SPI) – SPI is a ratio of the service customers are currently receiving relative to the best monthly performance over the last three years. Measuring our performance relative to a historical benchmark demonstrates our focus on continuously improving service for our customers. Our SPI is calculated for intermodal and manifest products. Intermodal SPI improved 12 and 7 points, respectively, in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024, while we adjusted to changing intermodal demand levels as volumes were down 5% during the third quarter and up 4% for the year-to-date period. Manifest SPI improved 11 points in both the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024 driven by improved network fluidity, while we handled higher volume.

Workforce productivity – Workforce productivity is average daily car miles per employee. Workforce productivity improved 6% in the third quarter and 8% in the year-to-date periods of 2025 compared to 2024, respectively, as average daily car miles increased 2% and 5%, respectively, while employees decreased 4% and 3%, respectively, compared to 2024. We continually align our active train, engine, and yard (TE&Y) workforce to meet customer needs in a dynamic demand environment, while maintaining operational fluidity. As a result, our active TE&Y decreased 4% during the third quarter of 2025 on slightly negative volume levels compared to the same period in 2024. For the year-to-date period of 2025, we were able to handle 3% more volume with 2% fewer active TE&Y employees over the same period.

Operating ratio – Operating ratio is our operating expenses reflected as a percentage of operating revenues. For the third quarter of 2025, our operating ratio of 59.2% improved 1.1 points driven by productivity initiatives and core pricing gains, partially offset by inflation, and acquisition-related expenses. For the year-to-date period of 2025 compared to 2024, our operating ratio improved 0.8 points to 59.6% as a result of core pricing gains, productivity, and volume growth which more than offset the impact of unfavorable business mix, inflation, the year-over-year impact of changes in fuel price, a crew staffing agreement ratification charge in the second quarter of 2025, and acquisition-related expenses. In addition, the year-to-date period was negatively impacted by a gain on the sale of intermodal equipment in the second quarter of 2024 and contract settlements in the first quarter of 2024.

[1]The trailing twelve months income statement information ended September 30, 2025, is recalculated by taking the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, subtracting the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and adding the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

[2]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.

Table of Contents

Adjusted debt (total debt plus operating lease liabilities plus after-tax unfunded pension and OPEB (other post-retirement benefit) obligations) to adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and adjustments for other income and interest on present value of operating leases) 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 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 reconciliations from net income to adjusted EBITDA, debt to adjusted debt, and debt to net income to adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA. At September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the incremental borrowing rate on operating leases was 4.0% and 3.8%, respectively. Pension and OPEB were funded at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

On July 4, 2025, H.R.1 was enacted that makes key elements of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, including provisions for 100% bonus depreciation on qualified property and fully expensing internally developed software, which has favorable impacts to our current and future cash provided by operating activities.

Investing activities

Cash used in investing activities increased in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 driven by the timing of capital investments, including an increase in early lease buyouts, and lower proceeds from a 2024 sale of intermodal equipment.

The table below details cash capital investments:


Millions, for the nine months ended September 30,	2025		2024
Rail and other track material	$	395	$	373
Ties	447		369

[a]Other includes bridges and tunnels, signals, other road assets, and road work equipment.

[b]Locomotives and freight cars include early lease buyouts of $311 million in 2025 and $96 million in 2024.

[c]Weather-related damages for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, are immaterial.

See Note 18 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1, for the pending acquisition of Norfolk Southern.

Capital plan

In 2025, we expect our capital plan to be approximately $3.4 billion, consistent with 2024. We plan to continue to make investments to support our growth strategy, improve the safety, resiliency, and operational efficiency of the network, harden our infrastructure, and replace older assets, including modernization of our locomotive fleet and acquiring freight cars to support replacement and growth opportunities. In addition, the plan includes investments in growth-related projects to drive more carloads to the network and enhance productivity. This includes siding construction and extension projects, terminal investments supporting our manifest network, and investments in certain ramps to efficiently handle volume from new and existing intermodal customers. The capital plan may be revised if business conditions warrant or if laws or regulations affect our ability to generate sufficient returns on these investments.

Financing activities

Cash used in financing activities increased in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 driven by more share repurchases, including the 2025 accelerated share repurchase programs, partially offset by an increase of debt issued and less debt repaid.

See Note 14 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1, for a description of all our outstanding financing arrangements and significant new borrowings, Note 16 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1, for a description of our share repurchase programs, and Note 18 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1, for the pending acquisition of Norfolk Southern.

Free cash flow – Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less cash used in investing activities and dividends paid. Cash flow conversion rate is defined as cash provided by operating activities less cash used for capital investments as a ratio of net income.

Free cash flow and cash flow conversion rate are considered non-GAAP financial measures 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 free cash flow and cash flow conversion rate are important to management and investors in evaluating our financial performance and measures our ability to generate cash without additional external financing. Free cash flow and cash flow conversion rate should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, cash provided by operating activities.

The following table reconciles cash provided by operating activities (GAAP measure) to free cash flow (non-GAAP measure):


Millions, for the nine months ended September 30,	2025		2024
Cash provided by operating activities	$	7,065	$	6,684
Cash used in investing activities	(2,791)		(2,426)
Dividends paid	(2,418)		(2,403)
Free cash flow	$	1,856	$	1,855

The following table reconciles cash provided by operating activities (GAAP measure) to cash flow conversion rate (non-GAAP measure):


Millions, except percentages, for the nine months ended September 30,	2025		2024
Cash provided by operating activities	$	7,065	$	6,684
Cash used in capital investments	(2,792)		(2,530)
Total (a)	$	4,273	$	4,154
Net income (b)	$	5,290	$	4,985
Cash flow conversion rate (a/b)	81%		83%

Current liquidity status

We are continually evaluating our financial condition and liquidity. We analyze a wide range of economic scenarios and the impact on our ability to generate cash. These analyses inform our liquidity plans and activities outlined below and indicate we have sufficient borrowing capacity to sustain an extended period of lower volume.

Table of Contents

During the third quarter of 2025, we generated $2.5 billion of cash provided by operating activities and paid our quarterly dividend. Also within the third quarter of 2025, we announced the pending acquisition of Norfolk Southern described in Note 18 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1, and paused our share repurchase program. On September 30, 2025, we had $808 million of cash and cash equivalents, $2.0 billion of credit available under our revolving credit facility, and up to $600 million undrawn on the Receivables Facility. We have been, and we expect to continue to be, in compliance with our debt covenants.

As described in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and as referenced in the table below, we have contractual obligations that may affect our financial condition. Based on our assessment of the underlying provisions and circumstances of our contractual obligations, other than the risks that we and other similarly situated companies face with respect to the condition of the capital markets, as of the date of this filing, there is no known trend, demand, commitment, event, or uncertainty that is reasonably likely to occur that would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. In addition, our commercial obligations, financings, and commitments are customary transactions that are like those of other comparable corporations, particularly within the transportation industry.

The following table identifies material contractual obligations as of September 30, 2025:


			Oct. 1, through Dec. 31, 2025		Payments Due by Dec. 31,
Millions	Total				2026		2027		2028		2029		After 2029
Debt [a]	$	59,635	$	212	$	2,724	$	2,455	$	2,401	$	2,360	$	49,483
Purchase obligations [b]	1,582		199		804		258		187		126		8
Operating leases [c]	1,166		55		273		236		188		121		293
Other post-retirement benefits [d]	349		10		39		38		38		38		186
Finance lease obligations [e]	117		4		42		36		14		21		-
Total contractual obligations	$	62,849	$	480	$	3,882	$	3,023	$	2,828	$	2,666	$	49,970

[a]Excludes finance lease obligations of $108 million as well as unamortized discount and deferred issuance costs of ($1,688) million. Includes an interest component of $26,248 million.

[b]Purchase obligations include locomotive maintenance contracts; purchase commitments for ties, ballast, and rail; and agreements to purchase other goods and services.

[c]Includes leases for locomotives, freight cars, other equipment, and real estate. Includes an interest component of $125 million.

These forward-looking statements and information include, without limitation, statements and information set forth under the captions “Liquidity and Capital Resources” regarding our capital plan, share repurchase programs, contractual obligations, and "Other Matters" in this Item 2 of Part I. Forward-looking statements and information also include any other statements or information in this report (including information incorporated herein by reference) regarding: the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated therein (described in Note 18 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1), potential impacts of public health crises, including pandemics, epidemics, and the outbreak of other contagious disease, such as the coronavirus and its variant strains (COVID); the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars and other geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and any impacts on our business operations, financial results, liquidity, and financial position, and on the world economy (including customers, employees, and supply chains), including as a result of fluctuations in volume and carloadings; closing of customer manufacturing, distribution or production facilities; expectations as to operational or service improvements; expectations as to hiring challenges; availability of employees; expectations regarding the effectiveness of steps taken or to be taken to improve operations, service, infrastructure improvements, and transportation plan modifications (including those discussed in response to increased traffic); expectations as to cost savings, revenue growth, and earnings; the time by which goals, targets, aspirations, or objectives will be achieved; projections, predictions, expectations, estimates, or forecasts as to our business, financial, and operational results, future economic performance, and general economic conditions; proposed new products and services; estimates of costs relating to environmental remediation and restoration; estimates and expectations regarding tax matters; estimates and expectations regarding current or potential tariffs; potential impacts of H.R.1, which was enacted on July 4, 2025; expectations that claims, litigation, environmental costs, commitments, contingent liabilities, labor negotiations or agreements, cyber-attacks, or other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity and any other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” and similar words, phrases, or expressions.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance, results, or outcomes, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times that, or by which, such performance, results, or outcomes will be achieved, if ever. Forward-looking statements and information are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements and information. Forward-looking statements and information reflect the good faith consideration by management of currently available information, and may be based on underlying assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, such information and assumptions (and, therefore, such forward-looking statements and information) are or may be subject to variables or unknown or unforeseeable events or circumstances over which management has little or no influence or control, and many of these risks and uncertainties are currently amplified by and may continue to be amplified by, or in the future may be amplified by, among other things, macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions.

The Risk Factors in Item 1A of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed February 7, 2025, as well as the risk factors disclosed in the "Risk Factors" section of the joint proxy statement/prospectus contained in our registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-290282), as amended by our definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on October 1, 2025, could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements or information. To the extent circumstances require or we deem it otherwise necessary, we will update or amend these risk factors in a Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, or subsequent Form 10-K. All forward-looking statements are qualified by, and should be read in conjunction with, these Risk Factors.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We assume no obligation to update forward looking information to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions, or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no material changes to the Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Additionally, the CEO and CFO determined that there were no changes to the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation that occur in connection with our business. We routinely assess our liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based upon the latest available information and, when necessary, we seek input from our third-party advisors when making these assessments. Consistent with SEC rules and requirements, we describe below material pending legal proceedings (other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business), material proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, other proceedings arising under federal, state, or local environmental laws and regulations (including governmental proceedings involving potential fines, penalties, or other monetary sanctions in excess of $1,000,000), and such other pending matters that we may determine to be appropriate. See also Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1.

Environmental matters

We receive notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state environmental agencies alleging that we are or may be liable under federal or state environmental laws for remediation costs at various sites throughout the U.S., including sites on the Superfund National Priorities List or state superfund lists. We cannot predict the ultimate impact of these proceedings and suits because of the number of potentially responsible parties involved, the degree of contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and quality of volumetric data related to many of the sites, and the speculative nature of remediation costs.

Information concerning environmental claims and contingencies and estimated remediation costs is set forth in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates - Environmental, Item 7, and Note 17 of the Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Item 8, of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as the risk factors disclosed in the "Risk Factors" section of the joint proxy statement/prospectus contained in our registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-290282), as amended by our definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on October 1, 2025, for which the "Risk Factors" section of such definitive proxy statement is incorporated by reference herein. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations (including revenues and profitability), and/or stock price. Our business also could be affected by risks that we are not presently aware of or that we currently consider immaterial to our operations.
