Hellmann President and Chief Executive Officer To Our Shareholders: Of my sixteen years at G&W, 2015 proved to be the most challenging. A global freight rail recession drove our adjusted diluted earnings per share down 10.2% in 2015,(1) with weak shipments in most operating regions and our same railroad carloads down 11%. The decline in our rail traffic was driven by three overarching trends: i) the collapse in the prices of global commodities such as iron ore, copper, manganese and crude oil, which reduced or eliminated shipments from multiple customers, ii) the rapid shift of U.S. and U.K. power generation away from coal to cheaper natural gas, as well as other renewable alternatives, which significantly reduced our coal shipments, and iii) a strong U.S. dollar which made our U.S. industrial customers, such as steel manufacturers, as well as our U.S. agricultural customers, less competitive in global markets. In the face of these difficult trends, we continued to focus on enhancing the efficiency of our operations and responded quickly and decisively to the weakened business climate. Several positive developments are worth highlighting in 2015. Our safety performance led the rail industry for the seventh consecutive year. We completed the acquisition of London- headquartered Freightliner Group, adding important geographic and commodity diversity to our global rail operations. We made significant cost reductions in each of our eleven operating regions and have been reducing our investments in plant and equipment to be consistent with lower traffic levels. We created an in-house engineering and track-construction team in North America whose productivity has surpassed our expectations. Coupled with our significant past investments in our infrastructure, this highly efficient engineering team enables us to lower our track capital spending without sacrificing service levels to our customers. We remain intensely focused on cost reductions and efficiencies and, despite continued pressure on our earnings, are well positioned for a strong increase in our free cash flow in 2016.(1) I want to extend my deep appreciation to all of my fellow G&W employees, who have risen to the challenge of protecting the intrinsic value of our railroads and positioning us for improving trends in the future. Whether in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom or Continental Europe, we have outstanding people and rail expertise that ultimately translates into an abundance of commercial opportunities worldwide. (1) Adjusted diluted EPS, free cash flow, adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted incremental margins, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and are not intended to replace financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The information required by Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, is included on pages 16-20. 2015 Annual Report 3 From the CEO, continued Safety The safety of our people is an essential part of G&W’s culture and a common thread that ties together our worldwide operations. Our safety culture is underpinned by the shared belief that all injuries are preventable and that we need to continuously improve our processes and performance. This culture significantly contributes to our ability to run each of our 120 railroads efficiently for our customers and our shareholders. We have found that attention to detail in safety translates into attention to detail in all aspects of our operations and customer service, a natural byproduct of which is strong customer satisfaction (see sidebar below). In 2015, G&W’s same railroad injury-frequency rate (IFR) per 200,000 hours was 0.51, which was a 15% improvement over 2014 and safer than any Class I railroad. Our railroads continue to be more than five times safer than the U.S. short line peer group average. Our Chairman’s Safety Award for 2015, which is awarded to the G&W operating region with the lowest IFR, was won by our Australia Region for working injury-free. I would like to recognize the extraordinary achieve- ment of my Australian colleagues who worked 950,000 hours without an injury, a feat that was all the more impressive amidst a highly challenging business environment and the recent addition of over 100 employees after the insourcing of our track and equipment maintenance functions. In its first nine months under G&W ownership, Freightliner reported an IFR of 2.1. While this performance is industry-leading for much of Europe, we have been working with our new colleagues to set the bar higher, and the Freightliner team is building momentum as they integrate our safety culture into their operations. In fact, we are already seeing the emergence of new safety measures Service & Safety in the U.K. and Europe that will be shared across G&W as best practices. I am confident that Freightliner’s focus on safety will yield significant improvements in 2016. Financial Results G&W’s consolidated financial results for 2015 were as follows: Operating Revenues increased 22.0% from $1.6 billion in 2014 to $2.0 billion in 2015. Adjusted Income from Operations decreased 4.8% from $421.6 million in 2014 to $401.6 million in 2015; (1) Reported Income from Operations decreased 8.9% from $421.6 million in 2014 to $384.3 million in 2015. Adjusted Operating Ratio (adjusted operating expenses divided by operating revenues) increased from 74.3% in 2014 to 79.9% in 2015; (1) Reported Operating Ratio increased from 74.3% in 2014 to 80.8% in 2015. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share (EPS) decreased 10.2% from $4.10 in 2014 (with 57.0 million weighted average shares outstanding) to $3.68 in 2015 (with 57.8 million weighted average shares outstanding); (1) Reported Diluted EPS decreased 15.1% from $4.58 in 2014 (with 57.0 million weighted average shares outstanding) to $3.89 in 2015 (with 57.8 million weighted average shares outstanding).

  • EMPLOYER STATUS DETERMINATION San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway Company
    BA# 2738 B.C.D. 01-74 SEP 2 0 2001 EMPLOYER STATUS DETERMINATION San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway Company This is a determination of the Railroad Retirement Board concerning the continued status of San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway Company (SD&AE) (BA No. 2738) as an employer under the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. § 231 et seq.) and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. § 351 et seq.) The SD&AE was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Transportation Company until November 1, 1979, when the San Diego Metropolitan Transit Development Board (MTDB) purchased the stock of SD&AE, becoming the sole owner thereof. The property was acquired for use in connection with a public transit system. To conduct the freight operations of the SD&AE, MTDB contracted with Kyle Railways, Inc. (Kyle) (BA No. 9003), which in turn created a subsidiary for freight operation purposes, namely, the San Diego & Arizona Eastern Transportation Company (BA No. 2751). In 1984, MTDB sought a new operator.1 In Finance Docket No. 30457, decided August 9, 1984, the ICC authorized San Diego and Imperial Valley Railroad (SD&IV) (BA No. 3758) to conduct railroad operations over the line.2 In a footnote to a subsequent decision, the ICC noted that SD&AE, as owner of the line, holds the residual common carrier obligation to provide rail service on the line.
