CSX Corporation Chief Financial Officer Frank Lonegro reinforced the companys 2015 guidance and outlined expectations for key markets in 2016 at the Baird Industrial Conference in Chicago.

CSX has leveraged its diverse portfolio and network reach to compriseently deliver record earnings per share growth, despite declines in coal revenue of more than $1 billion over the past four years, Lonegro said. While we expect the energy market headwinds to continue in 2016, we are focused on capturing opportunities in intermodal and industrial markets, and on delivering excellent service for customers to support our pricing, growth and efficiency targets.

Facing continued headwinds in the energy markets, CSX anticipates fourth quarter 2015 earnings per share to decline slightly contrast to the same period in 2014. The company continues to target mid-single digit full-year earnings per share growth as intermodal growth and efficiency initiatives offset about $450 million in coal revenue declines.

CSX also continues to expect meaningful margin expansion in 2015 and a mid-60s operating ratio longer term as the company leverages longer trains, drives industrial development to leverage merchandise growth, continues investing in intermodal, and matches resources to business demand across its coal network.

Shares of both companies slid together with the price of oil, which fell 3 percent. A barrel of oil was going for less than $43 Wednesday, which is part of the reason why tie-ups are so difficult for energy companies even in a time of falling energy prices and falling stock prices for energy companies.
