JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Securities and Exchange Commission has subpoenaed CSX Corp. regarding misstatements in previously financial reports, CSX said in its latest quarterly filing with the government agency. CSX delayed its second-quarter financial reports by about two weeks as it reviewed accounting regarding capitalization of engineering materials and labor costs, a move the company announced in July.

The CSX report to the SEC for the second quarter, filed following the Aug. 5 announcement of results, said the company had identified misstatements but determined their impact was “immaterial to the financial statements for all prior periods.” But the third-quarter Form 10-Q financial statement filed today (Oct. 17) says the company received a subpoena earlier this month “requesting information relating to, among other things, the accounting restatement disclosed in the company’s Aug. 5, 2025, Form 10-Q. The company has also been responding to information requests by the SEC related to certain of the Company’s non-financial performance metrics.

The company is cooperating with the SEC and providing information responsive to these requests. While the company believes its reporting complied with applicable requirements in all material respects, the company cannot anticipate the timing, scope, outcome, or possible impact of the investigation, financial or otherwise.” CSX reported flat revenue and a 1% decrease in operating income in the second quarter. On Wednesday, the railroad said it had seen a 1% increase in revenue and a 7% gain in operating revenue, and reported the first financial effects of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. The Wall Street Journal initially reported news of the SEC subpoena. The post SEC subpoenas CSX over misstatements in financial reports appeared first on FreightWaves.
