The Railroad enjoyed tremendous success in 1994 due to the hard work of its
service-minded employees, increased traffic and improved weather conditions.
All financial results were favorable. Earnings improved to $754 million -
nearly 13 percent over last year's $669 million, excluding the 1993 accounting
adjustments. Carloadings rose more than 8 percent overall, as five of seven
commodities posted gains.
The operating ratio continued its downward trend, dropping 1.2 percentage
points to 77.9 - better than any other western railroad. To top the year, the
Railroad was one of five service companies selected as a finalist in the
prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award competition. Adopting the
Baldrige's high standard heightened the Railroad's commitment to quality
service.
Highlights for 1994
The Railroad's partnership successes are as varied as the commodity mix it
hauls - the most diversified in the industry.
Intermodal traffic still ranks as the Railroad's fastest growing and most
schedule-sensitive business. Volume grew to a record 1.45 million loads in
1994, up 14 percent over 1993, helped by increases from UPRR's trucking
partners. An upward trend is forecast to continue into the next century, and
the Railroad has established aggressive action plans to handle this
substantial growth. The state-of-the-art Lathrop Intermodal Facility in
central California became operational in the fourth quarter of 1994. Yard
expansions and technology improvements such as computer scanning were
introduced throughout the system, expediting intermodal traffic.
The Railroad hauled nearly 130 million tons of coal last year - with 86
million tons originating in the Powder River Basin (PRB)of Wyoming. PRB
tonnage has doubled since 1989, and demand for this low-sulfur,environmentally
preferred fuel remains strong. Triple- and quadruple-tracking projects
currently under way along links of the PRB coal chain will help the Railroad
meet the challenges of this demanding schedule. Additionally, higher-volume,
lighter-weight aluminum cars added to the PRB fleet permit longer trains and
heavier loading.
UPRR's auto traffic reached record levels in 1994, with 11 percent growth.
With 21 strategically located loading ramps and direct access to four auto
assembly plants, the Railroad leads the western rail carriers in auto volume.
To improve service and increase

market share, UPRR's Automotive Business Team has created an automotive train
network with dedicated trains running from Chicago to southern and northern
California and the Pacific Northwest. The network's unit trains provide
customers with improved vehicle handling.
Chemicals accounted for over $1.1 billion in Railroad revenue in 1994 - more
than any other commodity. To sustain this performance, the Chemical Business
Team has captured significant new petrochemical business in the Houston area.
UPRR will complete the capital improvements, including trackage to new
customers, to support this strategic initiative in 1995 and 1996 at a cost of
approximately $37 million.
Mexico revenues were up 20 percent to $348 million. Grain, chemicals and
intermodal have shown the greatest increases. The North American Free Trade
Agreement, coupled with successful joint efforts to facilitate border
interchanges, have substantially increased efficiencies in handling traffic to
and from Mexico. UPRR added four classification tracks at its growing Port
Laredo, Texas yard.
New Horizons
While the commitment to strengthen partnerships through quality improvement
progresses steadily, dramatic gains are envisioned from new technologies,
redesigned processes and strategic ventures. For example, the use of
distributed power and AC (alternating current) traction could produce as big a
breakthrough in locomotive power as the shift from steam to diesel engines did
in the 1950s.
(Graph of Union Pacific Railroad Revenue Ton-Miles Per Employee - see Appendix.)
(One photograph, not incorporated by reference - see prefacing comment on
Exhibit 13 Cover Page.)
Distributed power allows locomotives to be placed throughout a train in up to
four locations - all controlled from the lead locomotive. This reduces
in-train stresses and permits longer trains throughout the system - even in
mountainous regions. Separate AC traction motors improve wheel adhesion and
braking performance, while their smaller size leaves more room for the higher
horsepower main diesel engines.
The Railroad knows its customers place a premium on reliability and a
hassle-free business environment. To better serve its customers, UPRR's
reengineering program, established in 1993, identifies and removes barriers
that stand in the way of improved service. Eventually, all core business
processes - from deal-making to bill-collecting - will be scrutinized by
reengineering teams. Initially, improved terminal operations at Hinkle, Oregon
and better train scheduling everywhere are the prime focus of reengineering
teams.
Last December, the ICC approved the Railroad's application for authority to
control UPRR's railroad partner, the Chicago & North Western (C&NW). The ICC
action will enable Union Pacific to vote its 30 percent block of C&NW stock
and increase UPRR's representation on the C&NW board of directors to three of
nine members. The synergism made possible by increased cooperation with the
C&NW, together with new technologies and superior processes, should prove a
potent combination for the future of the Railroad and its shipping partners.

(Graph of Union Pacific Resources Production - see Appendix.)
Union Pacific Resources achieved another record year in the face of flat or
declining prices. Net income was $390 million in 1994, compared to $309
million in 1993 (excluding accounting adjustments). The 1994 results included
a $100 million gain from UPRC's share of the Wilmington sale.
An aggressive exploration and production program helped UPRC remain a leading
domestic independent oil company and the most active driller in the United
States. This program, along with the purchase of Amax Oil & Gas, boosted the
company's production 15 percent to 242,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) a
day, while total reserves grew from 445 to 509 million BOE.
(One photograph, not incorporated by reference - see prefacing comment on
Exhibit 13 Cover Page.)
Thriving in a Low-Price World
UPRC has become a pre-eminent independent by crafting a strategy that allows
it to thrive in a low-price world. That strategy is driven by four factors:
the development of a large drill site inventory; the quick application of new
technology; one of the most pro-active cost-cutting programs in the industry,
including an intensive reengineering effort; and a continuing focus on natural
gas and the gas value chain.
UPRC's largest thrust in 1994 was the $725 million purchase of Amax, which
provided an additional core area - Ozona in West Texas - along with promising
properties in south Louisiana and East Texas. With numerous potential drill
sites, Ozona will help to underwrite UPRC's future long into the twenty-first
century. In 1995, for example, the company plans to drill a well a day in the
area. These wells require as little as a week to drill, but can have a
productive life of over 30 years.
UPRC's other core areas - or profit centers - include East and South Texas
(Carthage), the Land Grant and the Austin Chalk. All had substantial gains in
production in 1994.
In East Texas, UPRC has remained a strong producer, increasing output in the
Carthage area to over 90 million cubic feet a day (MMCF/D), while further
expanding one of the largest gas processing facilities in the country. This
unit delivers gas to the Carthage hub that serves 15 pipelines supplying gas
throughout the East and Midwest.
(One photograph, not incorporated by reference - see prefacing comment on
Exhibit 13 Cover Page.)
(One photograph, not incorporated by reference - see prefacing comment on
Exhibit 13 Cover Page.)
In the Land Grant, Resources has brought six wells on-line to feed the
Wahsatch Gathering System in southwestern Wyoming and Utah; these wells have a
combined production of 80 MMCF/D. Further south, in Utah, UPRC has completed
its first four horizontal oil wells in the Overthrust Belt and expects to
drill up to 10 wells in the Lodgepole area in 1995.
The huge Austin Chalk Trend in central Texas has been UPRC's success story of
the nineties, with nearly 1,000 completed horizontal wells. Production reached
another record, rising from an average of 66,600 equivalent barrels a day in
1993 to 73,300 barrels in 1994; 43 percent of this output is natural gas.
Two other promising areas are being developed:south Louisiana and the Gulf of
Mexico. The south Louisiana play has been created by the Amax purchase, with
UPRC's
(Graph of Union Pacific Resources Reserves - see Appendix.)
first well producing 15 MMCF/D. Several more wells are planned in 1995. In
1994, three successful wells in the Gulf of Mexico were drilled; these platforms
will come on-stream in 1995, with a combined output of 100 MMCF a day.
Technology and Cost Cutting
UPRC's technical staff has expertly applied the latest technology available -
particularly horizontal drilling, 3-D seismology and fracturing - to
Resources' core areas with a high degree of success. This resourcefulness made
the Austin Chalk one of the richest domestic oil and gas plays of the decade,
substantially enhanced well economics, improved drilling success rates, and
made UPRC the forerunner in advanced hydraulic fracturing of difficult
tight-gas formations.
Technology also has provided Resources with a prime tool for cutting costs and
enhancing productivity. In 1994, UPRC's cost-reduction program drove
development drilling expenses down from $5.15 to $4.80 per BOE, while monthly
operating costs per well were lowered by over 35 percent. On the productivity
front, UPRC increased its operated well count by 43 percent with the Amax
purchase - without increasing its general and administrative head count.
UPRC will continue its relentless war on costs. Its reengineering campaign has
six teams studying and improving every phase and process of how UPRC does its
work - from the front office to the most remote leasehold.
(One photograph, not incorporated by reference - see prefacing comment on
Exhibit 13 Cover Page.)
The Natural Gas Value Chain
For the past five years, UPRC has shifted its focus to finding, producing and
marketing natural gas. UPRC grades gas with four A's: it is abundant,
affordable, acceptable environmentally and American. The company's major
acquisitions and properties are primarily in prolific, long-lived gas regions.
In 1994, UPRC increased its daily production 25 percent to 772 MMCF, with half
of the gain attributable to the Amax properties.
The gas value chain strategy involves investing in downstream facilities to
generate enhanced value from all gas produced, including gathering,
processing, transporting and marketing. In Texas and Wyoming, UPRC has become
a pre-eminent player by investing in gathering systems, plants and pipelines
that multiply value from wellhead to burner tip. For example, new or expanded
gas processing plants in Carthage, Brookeland and Ozona, Texas, and in Echo
Springs, Wyoming raised UPRC's total processing capacity from 940 MMCF to
1,290 MMCF per day in 1994.

Despite the worst winter in decades for the eastern half of the United States
and the 24-day Teamsters' strike against other carriers in April that drove up
costs, Overnite Transportation earned $64 million before goodwill. This
compares to the $65 million earned last year, excluding the 1993 accounting
adjustments. For the first time in its 60-year history, Overnite also
surpassed the billion-dollar revenue mark, with final revenues of
$1,037,000,000.
Record less-than-truckload (LTL) tonnage (up 7 percent) and a 4 percent
increase in LTL rates helped the company boost revenues by over 10 percent and
remain the most profitable nationwide carrier. However, the strike shifted
traffic patterns unfavorably. As Overnite accepted more long-haul freight from
its regular customers, some of the company's short-haul business was lost to
regional competitors and not fully recovered in the second half of the year.
Overnite has moved aggressively to recover this business and to improve
overall efficiency, but the net result was a less profitable freight mix in
1994. Consequently, its operating ratio - still the lowest of the nationwide
LTL carriers - rose for the first time in many years from 90.2 in 1993 to 91.3
in 1994.
(One photograph, not incorporated by reference - see prefacing comment on
Exhibit 13 Cover Page.)
Prospects for 1995
Several developments point to a better operating environment in 1995.
In January, 1995, intra-state trucking was deregulated, permitting access to
all markets within each state and eliminating price barriers. Overnite has
targeted 10 newly deregulated states for immediate expansion, including Texas,
California, Ohio and Tennessee. To improve its ability to penetrate markets,
Overnite has introduced its Streamline pricing program, which significantly
reduces the complexity of determining freight charges.
Another example of Overnite's logistical flexibility is the Special Services
Division, whose volume grew by 24 percent in 1994 and is expected to increase
again in 1995. This division includes dedicated truckload service for auto
parts from Detroit and the Upper Midwest to Chicago - for shipment by UPRR to
manufacturing sites in mid-America and Mexico.
(One photograph, not incorporated by reference - see prefacing comment on
Exhibit 13 Cover Page.)
Overnite offers a comprehensive array of products and services, including
next-day, intra-state and regional shipping, providing nationwide service to
95 percent of the U.S. population and entry to portions of Canada and Mexico.
Overnite's service encompasses toll-free phone access to a state-of-the-art
customer service center; electronic shipment-tracking information; and on-site
representatives at customer locations, who facilitate partnerships with such
major customers as DuPont and Philip Morris.
(Graph of Overnite Transportation Less-Than-Truckload Tonnage - see Appendix.)
(One photograph, not incorporated by reference - see prefacing comment on
Exhibit 13 Cover Page.)
Technology on the Cutting Edge
Overnite is placing itself in the forefront of technology in the trucking
industry. It started with the centralized customer service and billing center
in Richmond, the first of its kind in the industry. The center serves all 173
Overnite terminals - accepting imaged bills of lading from all over the
country and sending invoices to customers every morning.
In 1995, Overnite will centralize over-the-road dispatching in its Richmond
headquarters. The company is continuing to develop an integrated dispatching,
yard management, dock management, and time-tracking system, using hand-held
computers and mobile communications.
Skyway Freight Systems
In 1994, Skyway continued to distinguish itself as a leading technology-based
logistics operating company, providing an array of services to its shipping
partners. Revenue for 1994 climbed to $124 million, surpassing expectations
and reflecting growth of 23 percent over 1993. In 1995, Skyway will exploit
opportunities presented by NAFTA by expanding time-sensitive transportation
and information services into Canada and Mexico, including door-to-door
shipment tracking and customs processing.
(Graph of Skyway Freight Systems Total Weight Shipped - see Appendix.)
(One photograph, not incorporated by reference - see prefacing comment on
Exhibit 13 Cover Page.)
Ground-breaking Developments in 1994
- A logistics and transportation program that bypasses distribution centers
for a major retailer. This pilot delivery system dramatically reduces
order-fulfillment time for customers. Skyway expects to expand this program
to similar retailers in 1995.
- The industry's first Electronic Packing Slip, a single electronic
transmission that provides manufacturers and their consignees access to
shipment information prior to delivery. This enables Skyway customers to lower
costs, improve inventory management, reduce receiving time and, in many cases,
accelerate payment cycles.
- The Catapult Project - an aggressive reengineering effort using advanced
technology to put Skyway ahead of its competition by revamping business
processes, accelerating product development and automating training.
- A satellite tracking system for transcontinental trucks that allows
customers the tightest control possible over the shipment of their goods.
- The addition of second distribution stations in San Francisco and Dallas to
handle increasing volumes.

Union Pacific Technologies
Union Pacific Technologies (UPT) built its reputation for excellence in
transportation software and computer applications at the Union Pacific
Railroad. Today, UPT's information management expertise provides the
competitive edge throughout the Union Pacific family of companies - and to
many more partners across the country and around the world.
Within the corporation, Technologies boosts operating company efficiency with
customized information management systems, combined purchasing power and
shared computer and telecommunications capabilities. Additionally, UPT
shoulders the critical responsibility for disaster recovery computer backup.
At the Railroad's intermodal facilities, UPT has streamlined traffic flow and
freight movement through computer scanning. In addition, the company has
created an award-winning interactive training course for locomotive managers.
With Overnite, Technologies created the centralized dispatching system to
improve routing and to reduce "empty miles."
(One photograph, not incorporated by reference - see prefacing comment on
Exhibit 13 Cover Page.)
Stateside and Worldwide Partnerships
Subscribers to UPT's Shipment Management System (SMS) now number nearly 150.
SMS monitors rail and truck shipments, identifying delays en route and
providing reports to customers, helping them manage logistical operations.
Beyond the basic SMS package, such value-added services as detention billing
and contract compliance monitoring help cut costs and increase efficiency.
Several railroads now realize service reliability improvements from UPT's
Transportation Control System (TCS) features such as car ordering, car
scheduling, work order generation, and locomotive placement and maintenance
scheduling.
UPT continues to operate under a long-term agreement with the Mexican
government to modernize the National Railways of Mexico (FNM). With the core
TCS components in place, UPT trains FNM employees in its use as it brings on
line such additional TCS components as the Car Location Messages (CLM) system.
CLM allows American, Canadian and Mexican shippers to track their goods as
they move through Mexico just as they can north of the border. For a Spanish
power company and a shipping agent, UPT adapted the Coal Inventory Management
System, developed for Union Pacific Railroad, to track time-sensitive coal
shipments moving by train, barge and ship from the Powder River Basin in
Wyoming to power plants in Spain.
USPCI
(Two photographs, not incorporated by reference - see prefacing comment on
Exhibit 13 Cover Page.)
Because of continued depressed market conditions in the waste management
industry, Union Pacific decided in September to exit the business by divesting
itself of USPCI. The corporation recorded a $404 million after-tax write-down
of assets and reclassified USPCI as a discontinued operation.
In October, Union Pacific signed a letter of intent to sell USPCI to Laidlaw
Inc. of Burlington, Ontario, Canada for $225 million, plus the assumption of
certain debt and liabilities. A definitive agreement for the sale was signed
on December 5, and the transaction closed at year-end.
USPCI fell far short of the corporation's expectations for a variety of
reasons: the sluggish cleanup of the nation's Superfund sites; increased waste
minimization efforts by many corporations; and a general decline in hazardous
waste volumes because of the recession in the early nineties. In addition,
strong competition from cement kilns was expected to reduce the income from
USPCI's hazardous waste incinerator - now on the verge of commercial operation
- since cement kilns are not held to the same high standards of operation.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This review should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes
and supplementary information.
1994 COMPARED TO 1993
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS: In September 1994, Union Pacific Corporation (the
Corporation or UPC) committed to dispose of its waste management subsidiary,
USPCI, Inc. (USPCI), and in December 1994 completed the sale of USPCI to Laidlaw
Inc. (Laidlaw) for $225 million in notes that were subsequently collected in
January 1995 (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements). In the third quarter of
1994, the Corporation recorded a $654 million ($425 million after-tax) provision
for discontinued operations. This provision included a write-down of USPCI's
assets to UPC's estimate of their net realizable value and provided for costs
associated with the disposition. In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Corporation
adjusted its original loss provision to reflect the sale of USPCI to Laidlaw by
reducing the provision by $54 million ($21 million after tax).
The Corporation reported net income of $546 million or $2.66 per share in 1994,
including a net loss from discontinued operations of $412 million or $2.00 per
share. The loss from discontinued operations included a loss from USPCI's 1994
operations of $10 million ($8 million after tax). In 1993, the Corporation
reported net income of $530 million or $2.58 per share, which included a $237
million after-tax charge for the 1993 accounting adjustments--$175 million
($0.85 per share) for changes in accounting methods and $62 million ($0.30 per
share) from the implementation of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993
(the 1993 Tax Act) (see Notes 3 and 7 to the Financial Statements). 1993
earnings also included a $9 million net loss from discontinued operations.
RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS: The Corporation reported income from
continuing operations of $958 million or $4.66 per share, including the one-time
benefit of a $116 million ($0.56 per share) after-tax gain resulting from the
first quarter sale of Union Pacific Resources Company's (Resources) Wilmington,
California oil and gas operations (see Note 4 to the Financial Statements).
This compares to income from continuing operations of $714 million ($3.47
per share). Excluding the 1993 accounting adjustments, 1993 net income
would have been $776 million or $3.77 per share, which included a
$34 million after-tax reduction in operating results at Union Pacific
Railroad Company and its affiliate Missouri Pacific Railroad Company
(collectively the Railroad) caused by the 1993 Midwest flood. In 1994,
earnings improved at the Railroad and Resources, while earnings
declined slightly at Overnite Transportation Company (Overnite).
Operating revenues grew 6% to $7.80 billion from $7.33 billion in 1993, as
increased transportation volumes at the Railroad and Overnite, higher
hydrocarbon sales volumes at Resources and the May 1993 addition of Skyway
Freight Systems, Inc. (Skyway) (see Note 4 to the Financial Statements) were
partially offset by hydrocarbon sales price declines. Operating expenses rose
$372 million to $6.20 billion for the period. Higher volumes, severe winter
weather in the Eastern U.S. in the first quarter of 1994 and the effects of
unfavorable traffic shifts at Overnite (the result of an April 1994 Teamsters'
strike) caused increases in salaries, wages and employee benefits ($94 million),
equipment and other rents ($70 million), third-party transportation ($38
million), other taxes ($38 million), and materials and supplies ($11 million).
Depreciation charges increased $87 million--the result of both the Corporation's
continued commitment to upgrade equipment and technology, and higher production
volumes at Resources. Personal injury expense rose $42 million, while
professional fees rose $17 million as the Corporation pursued various strategic
transactions in 1994. These cost increases were partially offset by lower costs
associated with pipeline and gas plant product purchases for resale, reduced
mining costs and lower fuel costs.
(Graph of Union Pacific Corporation Operating Revenues - See Appendix)
Operating income advanced $101 million (7%) to $1.60 billion in 1994. Other
income increased $170 million to $259 million, largely the result of the
Wilmington sale, while interest expense increased $21 million, reflecting higher
debt levels to fund the AMAX Oil & Gas, Inc. (AMAX) acquisition (see Note 4 to
the Financial Statements). Income from continuing operations--excluding the
one-time effect of the 1993 Tax Act--as a percentage of operating revenues would
have been 12.3% in 1994 and 10.6% in 1993. On the same basis, return on average
common stockholders' equity would have improved to 18.4% in 1994 from 15.9% a
year ago.
RAILROAD: Net income at the Railroad was $754 million in 1994 compared to
$540 million in 1993. Earnings before the effects of the 1993 accounting
adjustments would have improved $85 million (13%) from $669 million a year
ago. 1993 results also included the adverse effects of the flooding in the
Midwest, which reduced operating results by approximately $52 million
($34 million after tax).
Operating revenues improved $331 million (7%) to $5.32 billion in 1994. Higher
revenues were generated by an 8% (over 371,000 loads) rise in 1994 carloadings.
Intermodal volumes improved 14% because of business expansion with the
Railroad's trucking partners and growing container traffic. New coal contracts,
inventory replenishment by major utilities and the absence of 1993 flood-related
traffic interruptions accounted for a 13% increase in energy carloadings.
Automotive traffic climbed 11%, the result of higher carloadings for both
finished autos (14%) and auto parts (4%), reflecting improving economic
conditions in the automotive industry. Food, consumer and government
carloadings advanced 8% due to improvements in the food group--mainly canned and
frozen goods--and growth in the consumer segment, reflecting growing shipments
of waste/recyclables and transportation equipment. Chemical carloadings also
advanced 5% from a year ago, reflecting increases in phosphorous, soda ash and
fertilizer volumes. Grain traffic declined 6%, primarily the result of weak
export markets for corn and lower fourth quarter wheat shipments, while metals,
minerals and forest products traffic also declined 2%. The positive effect of
higher volumes was partially offset by a 1% decline in average commodity revenue
per car, largely the result of volume growth of lower-rated commodities--mainly
energy and intermodal.
Operating expenses increased to $4.15 billion in 1994 compared to $3.95 billion
last year. Personal injury expense rose $40 million, as a 34% decline in
reportable injuries was more than offset by higher average settlement costs per
injury. Wages and benefits rose $36 million, as higher volumes and inflation
were partially offset by continued improvements in labor productivity, as the
average workforce declined slightly year-over-year. Volume growth and inflation
also accounted for a $36 million rise in equipment and other rents, a $16
million escalation in third-party transportation costs (reflecting higher
intermodal shipments) and a $9 million increase in materials and supplies costs.
Other taxes increased $20 million because of higher use and property taxes,
while depreciation expense grew $25 million, reflecting the Railroad's
continuing investment in equipment and capacity. These cost increases were
partially mitigated by an $8 million reduction in fuel and utility costs, the
result of lower fuel prices, hedging gains and an improved fuel consumption
rate. Operating income at the Railroad advanced $131 million (13%) in 1994 to
$1.17 billion. The Railroad's operating ratio improved 1.2 points to 77.9 from
79.1 a year ago.
NATURAL RESOURCES: Resources reported 1994 net income of $390 million--
including a $100 million after-tax gain on the sale of the Wilmington
properties-- compared to 1993 net income of $244 million. Earnings before
the effects of the 1993 accounting adjustments would have improved $81
million from $309 million a year ago. Operating revenues declined $17
million from 1993 to $1.31 billion, as a 15% increase in overall
sales volumes was more than offset by a 6% decline in sales prices (including
the effects of Resources' hedging program) (see Note 5 to the Financial
Statements), lower pipeline and other revenues, and reduced minerals revenues.
Despite rising production volumes and the sale of the Wilmington Field and other
properties, Resources improved its reserve position in 1994 through the
acquisition of AMAX and exploitation of its existing properties, as Resources
remained the most active driller in the U.S. for the third consecutive year.
Natural gas sales volumes rose 25% to 772 mmcf/day, primarily the result of the
first quarter AMAX acquisition and higher Austin Chalk production. Natural gas
liquids sales volumes also improved 25% to 49,996 bbl/day because of the
addition of the AMAX properties, the Carthage gas plant and improved production
in the Austin Chalk. Crude oil sales volumes declined 5% to 63,070 bbl/day,
reflecting the first quarter Wilmington sale and production declines in
other fields. Average prices for crude oil fell $1.32/bbl (8%) to $14.34/bbl,
while natural gas liquids prices declined $0.66/bbl (7%) to $9.18/bbl. Natural
gas average prices were unchanged at $1.82/mcf. Pipeline and other revenues
declined $81 million, largely the result of the reclassification of certain
pipeline revenues, lower Section 29 revenues, the absence of lawsuit and
insurance recoveries from 1993, and the sale of the Harbor Cogeneration facility
as part of the Wilmington sale.
Operating expenses rose $14 million to $955 million in 1994. Depreciation and
depletion charges increased $48 million due to the addition of new gas
processing facilities and pipelines, as well as higher production levels. In
addition, other expenses increased $19 million, largely the result of higher
lease operating costs (reflecting higher volumes) and gas plant expenses (the
result of the addition of new plants), while inflation pushed up wages and
benefits $11 million. Dry hole costs also increased $7 million, the result of a
more extensive drilling program in 1994. These higher costs were countered by a
$30 million decline in pipeline and gas plant product purchases for resale, a
$29 million reduction in mining costs (as a result of a favorable contract
settlement) and a $9 million decrease in geological and geophysical costs,
reflecting the completion of an exploration program in West Texas.
Operating income for all of Resources' operations declined to $351 million in
1994 from $382 million in 1993. Operating income from Resources' minerals
operations improved $14 million in 1994 to $116 million, reflecting higher coal
sales and increased soda ash and coal royalties.
TRUCKING: Overnite's 1994 net income was $41 million compared to a net loss
in 1993 of $38 million. Excluding the effects of the 1993 accounting
adjustments, 1993 earnings would have been $42 million. This decline was
the result of higher operating costs caused by the worst winter in decades
for the Eastern U.S. and reduced efficiency associated with shifts in
freight flows from shorter-haul, more profitable, intra-regional business to
longer-haul traffic. Results for both periods included goodwill amortization of
$23 million.
Overnite's operating revenues exceeded the $1 billion level for the first time
in its history, as revenues advanced $98 million (10%) to $1.04 billion.
Average prices rose 6%, reflecting the shift to longer-haul traffic, contractual
rate increases and the effects of a January 1994 price increase on non-contract
business. Volumes improved 4%, as a 7% rise in less-than-truckload (LTL)
business was partially offset by truckload traffic declines. Volume
improvements were generated by the April 1994 Teamsters' strike against other
unionized carriers, the third quarter 1993 bankruptcy of a major Eastern carrier
and continued business expansion.
Growing volumes, the effects of the severe winter and higher miles associated
with shifts in freight flows caused operating expenses to increase $100 million
in 1994 to $970 million. Increases occurred in wages and benefits ($41
million), equipment rents ($27 million), mileage-based insurance and claims
accruals ($9 million), taxes and licenses ($7 million) and materials and
supplies ($5 million). Depreciation expense also increased $5 million as a
result of continuing capital programs. Operating income declined to $67 million
in 1994 from $69 million a year ago. Overnite's operating ratio, including
goodwill amortization, increased to 93.5 in 1994 from 92.7 in 1993.
CORPORATE SERVICES AND OTHER OPERATIONS: Expenses related to Corporate Services
and Other Operations--which include corporate expenses, third-party interest
charges, intercompany interest allocations, other income and income taxes that
are not related to other segments, and the results of other operating units--
totaled $227 million in 1994. This compares to 1993 costs related to
Corporate Services and Other Operations of $216 million. Excluding the
effects of the 1993 accounting adjustments, these costs declined $17 million
from $244 million a year ago.
Lower stock incentive compensation and increased interest charges to
subsidiaries (mainly the result of the AMAX acquisition, subsidiaries' capital
spending and pension funding at Overnite) were only partially offset by higher
interest expense to third parties and increased professional fees. Other
operations reported operating income of $4 million for 1994, up $3 million from
a year ago, as a result of the 1993 addition of Skyway and improved operating
results at the Corporation's other operations.
1993 COMPARED TO 1992
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS: In the first quarter of 1993, the Corporation recorded a
$175 million or $0.85 per share after-tax charge to reflect the adoption of new
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements as described in Note
3 to the Financial Statements. In the third quarter of 1993, the Corporation
recorded a $62 million or $0.30 per share charge reflecting a deferred tax
adjustment that resulted from the implementation of the 1993 Tax Act (see Note
7 to the Financial Statements). 1993 results also included a $9 million net
loss from the discontinued operations of USPCI.
The components of the accounting adjustments for the year ended December 31,
1993 are as follows:
As a result of the 1993 accounting adjustments, the absence of Resources' $63
million ($42 million after-tax) 1992 production-based tax settlement and the
1993 effects of weather-related traffic interruptions on the operations of the
Railroad, the Corporation's earnings declined to $530 million ($2.58 per share)
in 1993 compared to $728 million ($3.57 per share) in 1992. Excluding
accounting adjustments, the Corporation's earnings would have risen to $767
million ($3.73 per share). Income excluding accounting adjustments would have
improved at all operating units.
Operating revenues advanced 4% to $7.33 billion in 1993 from $7.03 billion in
1992. Revenues advanced on the strength of growing transportation volumes,
rising average natural gas prices, a 5% increase in hydrocarbon sales volumes
and the acquisition of Skyway.
Operating expenses rose $196 million to $5.83 billion from $5.64 billion in
1992. Equipment and other rents increased $51 million and fuel and utility costs
rose $19 million due to higher transportation volumes and weather-related
traffic interruptions at the Railroad. Depreciation charges increased $41
million, reflecting asset adjustments required by the first quarter adoption of
SFAS No. 109 (Accounting for Income Taxes) and the Corporation's continued high
level of capital investment, offset by lower surrendered lease activity and dry
hole costs at Resources. Other taxes rose $39 million, resulting from the
absence of 1992 tax settlements at Resources and the Railroad, while third-party
transportation costs increased $32 million mainly due to the acquisition of
Skyway. In addition, weather-related inefficiencies and volume growth caused
wage and benefit costs to escalate $20 million, and materials and supplies $9
million. Higher hydrocarbon sales volumes and prices caused the cost of
pipeline and gas plant product purchased for resale to rise $15 million.
Operating cost inflation was tempered by efficiency and productivity
improvements at the Railroad and Resources and the absence of Resources' $24
million 1992 workforce reduction charge. Operating income improved 7% to $1.49
billion in 1993 compared to $1.40 billion in 1992 as gains occurred at all
operating units.
Other income declined $57 million largely due to the absence of interest related
to Resources' 1992 tax settlement and diminished property sales. Interest
expense also declined $40 million, reflecting lower average interest rates and
debt refinancing activities, while corporate expenses rose $9 million due to
higher professional fees and depreciation charges. Income from continuing
operations--excluding the effects of the 1993 Tax Act--as a percentage of
operating revenues would have been 10.6% in 1993 and 10.4% in 1992. On the same
basis, return on average common stockholders' equity would have declined to
15.9% in 1993 from 16.5% in 1992.
RAILROAD: The Railroad posted earnings of $540 million in 1993. Excluding the
1993 accounting adjustments, earnings would have been $669 million (before
considering the effects of the harsh winter and Midwest flooding) compared to
$667 million in 1992. Operating revenues improved 2% to $4.99 billion as a 4%
increase in carloadings was partially offset by a 2% decline in average
commodity revenue per car. This decline resulted from volume growth of lower-
rated commodities--mainly intermodal and energy--and growth of lower-rated goods
within chemicals, as well as increased use of shipper-owned equipment for coal
shipments. Revenues also included higher earnings from equity investments in
related operations. Automotive carloadings advanced 8%, reflecting improvements
in the domestic auto industry. Energy carloadings also grew 8% because of an
expanding domestic customer base and higher demand created by more normal
temperature patterns. Intermodal traffic improved 6% as market share continued
to expand, reflecting new partnership arrangements with trucking companies. In
addition, chemical carloadings increased 1%, while weather-related traffic
interruptions and crop damage caused grain carloadings to decline 2%.
Carloading declines also occurred in food, consumer and government products (2%)
and in metals, minerals and forest products (1%).
Operating expenses increased to $3.95 billion in 1993 from $3.87 billion in
1992. Depreciation expense grew $54 million, reflecting asset adjustments
required by the 1993 adoption of SFAS No. 109 and continuing capital spending on
equipment and track. Employee injury expense rose $26 million as continuing
declines in the number of injuries were more than offset by higher average
settlement costs per injury. Growing volumes and weather-related traffic
congestion accounted for a $25 million rise in equipment and other rents and a
$17 million increase in fuel and utility costs. Wage and benefit costs also
rose $6 million as weather and inflation-related cost increases were largely
offset by train crew reductions. Higher operating costs were tempered by a $23
million reduction in joint facility costs and an additional $22 million of cost
offsets associated with car repairs for other carriers.
Operating income at the Railroad rose $11 million in 1993 to $1.04 billion.
Despite severe weather conditions, the Railroad maintained an operating ratio of
79.1 in 1993 compared to 79.0 in 1992.
NATURAL RESOURCES: Resources' 1993 earnings were $244 million. Without the
1993 accounting adjustments, earnings would have risen $37 million (14%) to $309
million compared to $272 million in 1992, despite the absence of the $63 million
($42 million after-tax) 1992 production-based tax settlement. Operating
revenues climbed $64 million (5%) to $1.32 billion in 1993 as a result of a 5%
rise in total hydrocarbon sales volumes, higher average natural gas prices and
pipeline volume growth. Natural gas sales volumes grew 7% to 619 mmcf/day,
reflecting production improvements in the Austin Chalk and the southwestern
Wyoming portion of the Land Grant. Natural gas liquids sales volumes were up
10% to 39,855 bbl/day, largely because of increased production in the Austin
Chalk, the return to operation of a damaged pipeline, increased ownership in the
Carthage gas processing plant and improved recoveries under processing
agreements, while crude oil sales volumes held steady at 66,456 bbl/day.
Including hedging activities, natural gas average prices advanced 20% to
$1.82/mcf (an increase of $0.30/mcf), while crude oil prices fell $1.56/bbl (9%)
to $15.66/bbl. Average prices for natural gas liquids also declined 8% to
$9.84/bbl. Once again, Resources improved its reserve position, despite rising
production levels, as it remained the most active driller in the United States.
Operating expenses declined to $941 million in 1993 from $944 million in 1992.
Surrendered lease costs decreased $33 million because of accelerated lease
surrender activity in 1992. Wage and benefit costs declined $24 million
stemming from the absence of Resources' 1992 workforce reduction charge and
ongoing productivity improvements. Insurance and other settlements in 1993
lowered other operating costs $12 million. Mining costs declined $9 million due
to lower operating costs stemming from the ongoing effects of a favorable 1992
contract settlement at Resources' joint venture coal mine. In addition, dry
hole costs decreased $8 million, reflecting improved exploration success. These
cost reductions were largely offset by volume-related cost increases.
Depreciation and depletion charges rose $21 million, reflecting higher
production levels and higher per barrel rates in the Chalk. Increased
exploration activities generated a $17 million expansion in geological and
geophysical costs. In addition, production and other taxes rose $28 million
caused by the absence of the 1992 tax settlement and growing volumes, while
higher volumes and prices caused the cost of pipeline and gas plant product
purchases to increase $15 million.
Operating income for all of Resources' operations improved $67 million (21%) to
$382 million in 1993. Other income declined $17 million, mainly due to the
absence of the interest portion of the 1992 tax settlement.
Operating income from Resources' minerals operations declined $9 million (8%) in
1993 to $102 million. This decline was the result of the absence of a favorable
uranium contract settlement recognized in 1992 and volume and price declines at
its soda ash joint venture. These declines were partially offset by the ongoing
effects of a favorable 1992 contract settlement at Resources' coal joint
venture.
TRUCKING: Overnite recorded a net loss of $38 million in 1993. Without the
1993 accounting adjustments, earnings would have improved $2 million to $42
million (after goodwill amortization of $23 million). Operating revenues rose
$66 million (8%) to $939 million as a 3% rise in average prices combined with a
4% volume improvement. Higher volumes were generated by a 7% increase in LTL
business (driven by tonnage gains in the Northeast--reflecting the bankruptcy of
a major regional carrier--and continued business expansion). Higher LTL volumes
were partially offset by truckload traffic declines, reflecting Overnite's focus
on its core LTL business. Revenue growth was also stimulated by the 1993
addition of the Special Services Division, which supports the Railroad's
automotive traffic.
Operating expenses increased $54 million to $870 million in 1993. Salaries,
wages and employee benefit costs grew $28 million in response to higher volumes
and inflation. Equipment and other rents rose $15 million, largely because of
increased contracted rail usage and volume-related growth in line-haul charges,
while continued capital spending caused depreciation expense to rise $6 million.
Operating income improved to $69 million in 1993 from $57 million in 1992.
Overnite's operating ratio, excluding goodwill amortization, improved to 90.2
from 90.9 in 1992.
CORPORATE SERVICES AND OTHER OPERATIONS: Expenses related to Corporate Services
and Other Operations totaled $207 million in 1993. Excluding the accounting
adjustments, these costs would have been $244 million compared to $251 million
in 1992. This decline was largely the result of lower interest expense and
improved results at other operations, partially offset by higher corporate
expenses. Operating income from other operations improved $7 million to $1
million in 1993, reflecting the addition of Skyway.
CASH FLOWS, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In 1994, cash from operations was $1.91 billion, compared to $1.56 billion in
1993. This increase was largely the result of improved operating results and a
higher proportion of non-cash expenses. Non-cash charges to earnings increased
as a result of higher depreciation, increased personal injury accruals, lower
Section 29 revenues at Resources and higher deferred taxes. Cash from
operations also benefitted from lower cash outlays related to the 1991 special
charge. Offsetting these operating cash improvements were the negative effects
of changes in working capital. Higher working capital levels reflected
increases in current taxes receivable (generated by the recognition of tax
benefits from the USPCI sale), in notes receivable (from the USPCI and
Wilmington sales) and in accounts receivable (the result of higher revenue
levels and the AMAX acquisition), partially offset by higher short-term
borrowings.
(Graph of Union Pacific Corporation Operating Cash Flow - See Appendix.)
Cash used in investing activities of $1.96 billion reflected a $408 million
increase over 1993. The Corporation acquired AMAX in March 1994 for a net
purchase price of $725 million in cash. Capital expenditures grew $23 million
over 1993, largely due to development activities at Resources (mainly the Austin
Chalk and AMAX properties) and fleet expansion and renewal at Overnite. The
AMAX purchase and higher capital spending were partially offset by $343 million
of cash proceeds generated by the Wilmington sale.
(Graph of Union Pacific Corporation Dividend History - See Appendix.)
Outstanding debt levels increased $377 million in 1994 and included $500 million
in new offerings of the Corporation's notes and debentures and $88 million of
Railroad equipment financings, offset by lower commercial paper borrowings.
Debt financings were used to fund capital expenditures and the AMAX acquisition,
and repay maturing debt. The quarterly common stock dividend was raised to
$0.43 per share in the third quarter of 1994, up from $0.40 per share. The
ratio of debt to total capital employed increased to 36.3% at December 31, 1994
from 35.6% at December 31, 1993. This increase reflected the higher debt levels
incurred to fund the AMAX acquisition, partially offset by 1994 earnings.
The Corporation's 1995 capital expenditures and debt service requirements will
be funded primarily through cash generated from operations, property sales and,
if required, through additional debt financings. The Corporation expects that
such sources will continue to provide sufficient funds to meet cash requirements
in the foreseeable future. At December 31, 1994, the Corporation had
authorization from the Board of Directors to repurchase up to $359 million of
the Corporation's common stock. At year-end, the Corporation had available
$1.06 billion in short-term credit facilities and $800 million in long-term
credit facilities expiring in 1999.
RAILROAD-RELATED MATTERS
PERSONAL INJURY: Over the past ten years work-related injuries have declined by
more than 10% annually (reflecting aggressive safety and training programs),
while average settlement cost per claim has continued to rise. Compensation for
work-related accidents is governed by the Federal Employers' Liability Act
(FELA). FELA's finding of fault and damage is usually assessed based on
litigation or out-of-court settlements. In addition, the Railroad offers a
comprehensive variety of services and rehabilitation programs for employees who
are injured at work. Annual expenses for injury-related events were $194
million in 1994, $154 million in 1993 and $128 million in 1992. The Railroad is
also participating with other rail carriers in an industry-wide effort to
replace FELA with a no-fault system that could significantly reduce personal
injury costs while fairly compensating injured employees.
OTHER MATTERS
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS: The Corporation generates, transports, remediates and
disposes of hazardous and non-hazardous waste in its current and former
operations, and is subject to Federal, state and local environmental laws and
regulations. The Corporation has identified approximately 150 sites, including
approximately 50 sites currently on the Superfund National Priorities List or
state superfund lists, at which it is or may be liable for remediation costs
associated with alleged contamination or for violations of environmental
requirements. Certain Federal legislation imposes joint and several liability
for the remediation of identified sites; consequently, the Corporation's
ultimate environmental liability may include costs relating to other parties in
addition to costs relating to its own activities at each site.
A liability of $243 million has been accrued for future costs of all sites where
the Corporation's obligation is probable and where such costs can be reasonably
estimated; however, the ultimate cost could be lower or as much as 25% higher.
The December 31, 1994 liability balance included $50 million for the obligation
to participate in the environmental remediation of the Wilmington, California
properties. The liability included future costs for remediation and restoration
of sites as well as for ongoing monitoring costs, but excluded any anticipated
recoveries from third parties. Cost estimates were based on information
available for each site, financial viability of other potentially responsible
parties (PRP), and existing technology, laws and regulations. The Corporation
believes that it has adequately accrued for its ultimate share of costs at sites
subject to joint and several liability. The ultimate liability for remediation
is difficult to determine with certainty because of the number of PRPs involved,
site-specific cost sharing arrangements with other PRPs, the degree of
contamination by various wastes, the scarcity and quality of volumetric data
related to many of the sites and/or the speculative nature of remediation costs.
Remediation of identified sites previously used in operations, used by tenants
or contaminated by former owners required spending of $43 million in 1994 and
$42 million in 1993. The Corporation is also engaged in reducing emissions,
spills and migration of hazardous materials, and spent $14 million and $16
million in 1994 and 1993, respectively, for control and prevention, a portion of
which had been capitalized. In 1995, the Corporation anticipates spending $37
million for remediation and $10 million for control and prevention. The
majority of the December 31, 1994 environmental liability is expected to be paid
out over the next five years, funded by cash generated from operations. Future
environmental obligations are not expected to have a material impact on the
results of operations or financial condition of the Corporation.
INFLATION: The cumulative effect of long periods of inflation has significantly
increased asset replacement costs for capital-intensive companies such as the
Railroad and Overnite. As a result, depreciation charges on an inflation-
adjusted basis, assuming that all operating assets are replaced at current price
levels, would be substantially greater than historically reported amounts.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The Corporation uses derivative financial instruments to
protect against unfavorable hydrocarbon price movements, interest rate movements
and foreign currency exchange risk. While the use of these hedging arrangements
limits the downside risk of adverse price and rate movements, it may also limit
future gains from favorable movements. All hedging is accomplished pursuant to
exchange-traded contracts or master swap agreements based on standard forms. UPC
does not hold or issue
financial instruments for trading purposes. The Corporation addresses market
risk by selecting instruments whose value fluctuations correlate strongly with
the underlying item or risk being hedged. Credit risk related to hedging
activities, which is minimal, is managed by requiring minimum credit standards
for counterparties, periodic settlements and/or mark-to-market evaluations.
A further discussion of the Corporation's use of financial instruments is
included in Note 5 to the Financial Statements.
A LOOK FORWARD
GENERAL ECONOMIC FACTORS: The Corporation's future results can be affected by
fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices, and by the economic environment.
Resources directly benefits from increases in hydrocarbon prices to the extent
that these gains are not limited by hedging activity, while the Railroad and
Overnite can be adversely affected by increases in diesel fuel costs, to the
extent that such costs are not recovered through higher revenues and improved
fuel conservation or mitigated by hedging activity. In addition, certain
categories of rail carloadings and trucking tonnages can be negatively impacted
by a prolonged economic downturn.
1995 CAPITAL SPENDING: The Corporation expects to maintain its high level of
capital spending in 1995. At Resources, capital spending will be focused on
drilling in the Austin Chalk, the AMAX properties and the Land Grant. The
Railroad's capital expenditures will be used to continue to expand capacity on
its main lines and upgrade equipment to meet customer needs, while Overnite will
continue to expand its distribution network and upgrade its truck fleet and
technology. UPC will also continue to expand its core businesses through
strategic acquisitions.
(Graph of Union Pacific Corporation Capital Investments - See Appendix.)
(Graph of Union Pacific Corporaiton Book Value per Share - See Appendix.)
1995 BUSINESS OUTLOOKL: Rail volumes are anticipated to improve in 1995 because
of continued growth in coal shipments (reflecting growing demand for low-sulfur
coal), expansion of the Railroad's intermodal business, and higher grain
shipments resulting from stronger export demand and growth in feed grain
shipments. Average commodity revenue per car is expected to remain at 1994
levels as price increases will be offset by volume growth in lower rated
commodities--mainly intermodal and coal. At Resources, overall sales volumes
are anticipated to improve. This anticipated volume growth reflects an
expansion in natural gas and natural gas liquids sales volumes, resulting from
the addition of the AMAX properties, and production increases in the Austin
Chalk and in the Rockies. These volume improvements will be partially offset by
crude oil sales volume declines, reflecting the Wilmington sale and reduced
crude oil production in the Austin Chalk. Natural gas prices are expected to
decline in 1995, while crude oil and natural gas liquids sales prices are
expected to improve somewhat. Overnite anticipates improvements in the current
pricing environment and continued tonnage growth--although there is a risk of
price discounting due to increasing competition by regional, non-union carriers.
Higher volumes at Overnite will be generated by continued growth in the
Northeast and Midwest and expansion in the Southwest and West. Overnite's
operations should also benefit from an expected stabilization of traffic
patterns in 1995.
USPCI SALE: The sale of USPCI will not have a significant impact on the
Corporation's future operating results or financial condition. Sales proceeds
and tax benefits derived from the sale will be used for general corporate
purposes, including the reduction of outstanding debt levels.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Union Pacific
Corporation (the Corporation or Union Pacific) and all subsidiaries.
Investments in affiliated companies (20% to 50% owned) are accounted
for on the equity method. In addition, the Corporation consolidates its
proportionate share of oil, gas and mineral ventures. All material
intercompany transactions are eliminated.
Cash and Temporary Investments
Temporary investments are stated at cost that approximates fair market value,
and consist of investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of materials and supplies carried at the lower of
cost or market.
Exploration and Production
Oil and gas exploration costs are accounted for using the successful efforts
method.
Drilling costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells, geological and geophysical
costs and carrying costs are charged to expense when incurred. Costs to develop
producing properties, including drilling costs and applicable leasehold
acquisition costs, are capitalized.
Depletion and amortization of producing properties, including depreciation of
well and support equipment and amortization of related lease costs, are
determined by using a unit-of-production method based upon proved reserves.
Acquisition costs of unproved properties are amortized from the date of
acquisition on a composite basis, which considers past success experience and
average lease life.
Costs of future site restoration, dismantlement and abandonment are based on
internal engineering estimates. Such costs for offshore wells and production
platforms are accrued as part of depreciation, depletion and amortization
expense using the unit of production method. The balance of the accrual was
$11 million at December 31, 1993 and $9 million at December 31, 1994, and
is classified in other long-term liabilities. Onshore restoration,
dismantlement, and abandonment costs are accrued as part of depreciation,
depletion and amortization expense for tangible equipment, using the unit of
production method with no salvage value.
Property and Depreciation
Properties are carried at cost. Provisions for depreciation are computed
principally on the straight-line method based on estimated service lives of
depreciable property.
The cost (net of salvage) of depreciable rail property retired or replaced in
the ordinary course of business is charged to accumulated depreciation.
A gain or loss is recognized on all other property upon disposition.
Intangible Assets
Amortization of costs in excess of net assets of acquired businesses is
generally recorded over forty years on a straight-line basis. The
Corporation regularly assesses the recoverability of such costs through a
review of cash flows and fair values of those businesses.
Revenue Recognition
Transportation revenues are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis,
while delivery costs are recognized as incurred (see Note 3).
Hedging Transactions
The Corporation periodically hedges hydrocarbon sales and purchases, interest
rates and foreign currency exchange risk. Gains and losses from these
transactions are recognized at delivery of the commodity or, with respect to
interest rates and foreign currency, over the life of the instrument (see Note
5).
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the periods, plus shares issuable upon exercise of
outstanding stock options (see Note 11).
Change in Presentation
1992 and 1993 amounts have been restated to conform to the 1994 financial
presentation of USPCI, Inc. (USPCI) as a discontinued operation (see Note 2).

2. Sale of USPCI
In September 1994, Union Pacific's Board of Directors approved a formal plan to
dispose of its waste management business. As a result of this decision, the
Corporation recorded a $654 million ($425 million after-tax) loss on
discontinued operations in the third quarter of 1994 to write down
the Corporation's investment in USPCI's assets to estimated net realizable
value and to provide for estimated closing costs and certain retained
liabilities.
At year-end, the Corporation completed the sale of USPCI to Laidlaw Inc. for
$225 million in notes. These notes were collected in January 1995. As
a result of the sale, the Corporation adjusted its original loss provision in
the fourth quarter of 1994 by reducing the provision by $54 million
($21 million after tax). The sale of USPCI will not have a significant
impact on the Corporation's future operating results or financial
condition. Sales proceeds and cash tax benefits derived from the sale of
USPCI will be used for general corporate purposes, including the
reduction of outstanding debt levels.
Operating revenues of USPCI were $342 million in 1994, $236 million in 1993 and
$262 million in 1992. Capital expenditures at USPCI were $66 million in 1994,
$114 million in 1993 and $109 million in 1992.
3. Accounting Changes
The Corporation adopted the following accounting changes in January 1993:
Other Postretirement Benefits (OPEB)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," which
requires that the cost of non-pension benefits for retirees be accrued during
their period of employment. The adoption of this Statement does not affect
future cash funding requirements for these benefits (see Note 10).
Income Taxes
The FASB issued Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires
the balance-sheet approach of accounting for income taxes, whereby assets and
liabilities are recorded at the tax rates currently enacted. The Corporation's
future results may be affected by changes in the corporate income tax rate (see
Note 7).
Revenue Recognition
The Corporation changed its method of transportation revenue and expense
recognition from accruing both revenues and expenses at the inception of service
to the industry practice of allocating revenues between reporting periods based
on relative transit time, while recognizing expenses as incurred.
4. Acquisitions and Property Dispositions
AMAX Oil & Gas, Inc. (AMAX)
In March 1994, Union Pacific Resources Company (Resources) acquired AMAX from
Cyprus AMAX Minerals Company for a net purchase price of $725 million. AMAX's
operations primarily consist of natural gas producing, transportation and
processing properties in West Texas and Louisiana. These properties include
interests in 14 major fields, encompassing approximately 600,000 acres and 2,000
producing wells. Resources recorded 92 million barrels of oil equivalent of
proved reserves related to the AMAX acquisition.
Skyway Freight Systems, Inc. (Skyway)
In May 1993, the Corporation acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Skyway for $65 million and the conversion of its initial $7 million preferred
stock investment. Skyway specializes in providing customized logistics and
transportation support for the time-definite and specialized freight markets.
Wilmington Sale
In March 1994, Resources sold its interest in the Wilmington, California oil
field's surface rights and hydrocarbon reserves, and its interest in the Harbor
Cogeneration Plant, to the City of Long Beach, California for $405 million in
cash and notes. The Wilmington sale resulted in a $184 million ($116 million
after-tax) gain--$159 million ($100 million after tax) at Resources and $25
million ($16 million after tax) at Union Pacific Railroad Company, the latter
related to land and trackage rights. Wilmington hydrocarbon reserves
represented approximately 3% of Resources' year-end 1993 proved reserves
and the sale of the Wilmington properties will not significantly affect
Resources' ongoing operating results.
As part of the Wilmington sales agreement, Resources has agreed to
participate with the Port of Long Beach in funding environmental remediation
and site preparation, as specified by the Port of Long Beach, up to a
maximum of $112 million in total. As a result, the determination of the gain
on the sale of the Wilmington properties included provisions of $57 million
($50.5 million remaining at December 31, 1994) for future environmental costs
and $55.0 million ($53.7 million remaining at December 31, 1994) for future
site preparation costs categorized as Other Long-Term Liabilities. The
majority of cash outlays for these liabilities is expected to occur over
the next five years.
5. Financial Instruments
Hedging
The Corporation uses derivative financial instruments to protect against
unfavorable hydrocarbon price movements, interest rate movements and foreign
currency exchange risk. While the use of these hedging arrangements limits the
downside risk of adverse price and rate movements, it may also limit future
gains from favorable movements. All hedging is accomplished pursuant to
exchange-traded contracts or master swap agreements based on standard forms.
Union Pacific does not hold or issue financial
instruments for trading purposes. The Corporation addresses market risk by
selecting instruments whose value fluctuations correlate strongly with the
underlying item or risk being hedged. Credit risk related to hedging activities,
which is minimal, is managed by requiring minimum credit standards for
counterparties, periodic settlements and/or mark-to-market evaluations. The
largest credit risk associated with any of the Corporation's counterparties was
$25 million at December 31, 1994. The Corporation has not been required to
provide, nor has it received any significant amount of collateral relating to
its hedging activity.
Unrecognized mark-to-market gains or losses approximate the fair market value of
the related derivative position at December 31, 1994 and were determined based
upon current market value, as quoted by recognized dealers, assuming a round lot
transaction and using a mid-market convention without regard to market
liquidity.
Hydrocarbons: Resources uses exchange-traded futures contracts, swaps and
forward contracts to fix selling prices or margins on hydrocarbon volumes. At
December 31, 1994, Resources had entered into futures contracts and price swaps
for 1995 natural gas sales volumes of 200 mmcf/day at $1.91/mcf, approximately
23% of its 1995 natural gas production. Resources had also entered into long-
term fixed price sales agreements for 98 bcf of natural gas at an average price
of $2.89/mcf covering the period 1995 thru 2008, comprising average annual sales
of 7 bcf, less than 4% of its expected annual production. In addition,
Resources' marketing subsidiary uses swaps, futures and forward contracts to
lock-in margins on purchase and sales commitments of natural gas, which
generally mature over the next five years. At December 31, 1994, positions
consisted of forwards sales of 89.9 bcf (mark-to-market gain of $32.4 million),
futures contracts for 14.0 bcf (mark-to-market loss of $1.0 million) and
price swaps for 104.8 bcf (mark-to-market loss of $14.6 million). The net
mark-to-market gain locked in on these agreements at December 31, 1994
was $16.8 million, which is included in Resources' overall mark-to-market
gain of $43 million relating to all of its hedging arrangements.
Fuel purchase hedging fixes diesel fuel prices using price swaps in which Union
Pacific Railroad Company and its affiliate Missouri Pacific Railroad Company
(collectively the Railroad) and Overnite Transportation Company (Overnite) pay
fixed prices in exchange for market prices for equivalent notional amounts of
fuel. At December 31, 1994, the Railroad had no hedging agreements in place,
while Overnite had hedged virtually all of its first quarter 1995 fuel
consumption (17 million gallons at $0.48 per gallon). At December 31, 1994,
Overnite had an unrecognized mark-to-market gain of $300,000 relating to these
arrangements.
Interest Rates and Foreign Currency: The Corporation uses interest rate swaps
to manage its exposure to increasing interest rates and uses cross-currency
swaps to eliminate foreign exchange rate risk in connection with debt
denominated in foriegn currency. At December 31, 1994, UPC has outstanding
interest rate swaps on $230 million of notional principal amount of debt.
The interest rates paid on these instruments range from 4.3% to 9.6%, while
interest received ranges from 4.3% to 7.6% with spreads no greater than 2.3%.
These contracts mature over the next one to nine years. There are unrecognized
mark-to-market losses of $12 million associated with these swaps. In
addition, the Corporation has currency swaps in place to cover $58 million of
notional principal amount of debt denominated in yen. This debt, which was
entered into because of favorable interest rates being offered by certain
financial institutions, matures over the next one to five years. There are
mark-to-market gains of $24 million associated with these swaps.
Hedging of foreign currency transactions offsets actual foreign
currency losses. Had the Corporation not hedged its foreign currency
obligations, other income would have been $8 million and $7 million
lower in 1994 and 1993, respectively, and would not have been
affected in 1992. Interest rate hedging activity increased interest expense
by $8 million in each of 1994, 1993 and 1992, raising the weighted average
borrowing rate by no more than 0.2 of 1% in any year during the period.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair market value of the Corporation's long and short-term debt has been
estimated using quoted market prices or current borrowing rates. At
December 31, 1994, the carrying value of total debt exceeded the fair market
value by approximately 5%. The carrying value of all other financial
instruments approximates fair market value.
Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
Union Pacific Railroad Company has sold, on a revolving basis, an undivided
percentage ownership interest in a designated pool of accounts receivable.
Collection risk on the pool of receivables is minimal. At December 31,
1994 and 1993, accounts receivable are presented net of the $300 million of
receivables sold.
6. Properties
7. Income Taxes
In August 1993, President Clinton signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
(the 1993 Tax Act) into law raising the Federal corporate income tax rate to 35%
from 34%, retroactive to January 1, 1993. As a result, 1993 income tax expense
increased by $74 million: $62 million for the one-time, non-cash recognition of
deferred income taxes related to prior periods and $12 million of incremental
current year Federal income tax expense.
The 1992 components of tax expense, which have not been restated to reflect the
accounting change (see Note 3), were $155 million for current Federal income tax
expense and $215 million for deferred Federal income tax expense.
All material IRS deficiencies prior to 1978 have been settled. The Corporation
is contesting deficiencies in the Tax Court for 1978 and 1979. The Corporation
has reached a partial settlement with the Appeals Office of the IRS for 1980
through 1983; the remaining issues will be resolved as part of the Tax Court
case for 1978 and 1979, as well as the refund claim filed for 1983. The
Corporation is negotiating with the Appeals Office concerning 1984 through
1986. The IRS is examining the Corporation's returns for 1987 through 1989.
The Corporation believes it has adequately provided for Federal and state
income taxes.
Net payments of income taxes were $119 million in 1994, $142 million in 1993 and
$168 million in 1992.
8. Debt
Debt maturities for each year, 1996 through 1999, are $269 million,
$108 million, $457 million and $1 billion, respectively. Interest payments
approximate gross interest expense.
Approximately 54% of all rail equipment and other railroad properties secures
outstanding equipment obligations and mortgage bonds.
Certain tax-exempt financings had variable interest rates from 3.75% to 4.85% at
December 31, 1994, and from 2.41% to 3.10% at December 31, 1993.
The Corporation has $1.86 billion of available credit facilities for general
corporate purposes with various banks. These facilities consist of revolving
credit facilities of $1 billion that expire in 1995 and $800 million that expire
in 1999, and $60 million of other short-term facilities. Commitment fees and
interest rates payable under these facilities are similar to fees and rates
available to the most creditworthy corporate borrowers.
To the extent the Corporation has long-term credit facilities available, a
portion of commercial paper borrowings and tax-exempt financings, which are due
within one year, have been classified as long-term debt. This classification
reflects the Corporation's intent to refinance these short-term borrowings on a
long-term basis through the issuance of additional commercial paper and/or new
long-term financings, or by using the currently available credit facilities if
alternative financing is not available.
The Corporation is subject to certain restrictions related to the payment of
cash dividends. The amount of retained earnings available for dividends
under the most restrictive test was $2.7 billion at December 31, 1994.
In February 1993, the remaining $25 million of the 7.50% Exchangeable Guaranteed
Notes due 2003, which were issued in conjunction with the acquisition of the
Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, were exchanged for approximately 774,000 shares
of the Corporation's common stock. These common shares were held in treasury
prior to the exchange.
9. Leases
The Corporation leases certain locomotives, freight cars, trailers, production
platforms and other property. Future minimum lease payments for capital and
operating leases with initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess
of one year as of December 31, 1994, are as follows:
Rent expense for operating leases with terms exceeding one month was
$119 million in 1994, $113 million in 1993 and $105 million in 1992.
Contingent rentals and sub-rentals are not significant.
10. Retirement Plans
The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries provide pension and
postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to all eligible retirees.
Pension Benefits
Pension plan benefits are based on years of service and compensation during the
last years of employment. Contributions to the plans are calculated based on
the Projected Unit Credit actuarial funding method and are not less than the
minimum funding standards set forth in the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended. In addition, Railroad employees are covered
by the Railroad Retirement System. Contributions made to the System are
expensed as incurred and amounted to approximately $200 million annually over
the past three years. Since 1989, the Corporation has settled a portion of the
non-qualified unfunded supplemental plans' accumulated benefit obligation by
purchasing annuities.
The projected benefit obligation was determined using a discount rate of 8.0% in
1994 and 7.0% in 1993. The estimated rate of salary increase approximated 6.0%
in 1994 and 5.0% in 1993. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets
was 8.0% in both years. The change in assumptions will not significantly affect
1995 pension cost. As of year-end 1994 and 1993, approximately 32% and 34%,
respectively, of the funded plans' assets were held in fixed-income and short-
term securities, with the remainder primarily in equity securities.
Other Postretirement Benefits
In January 1993, the Corporation adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (see
Note 3). The Corporation does not currently pre-fund health care and life
insurance benefit costs. Cash payments for these benefits were $15 million in
1994 and $16 million in 1993.
Railroad agreement employees' health care and life insurance benefits are
covered by a separate multiemployer plan and therefore are not subject to the
provisions of this Statement.
The APBO was determined using a discount rate of 8.0% in 1994 and 7.0% in 1993.
The health care cost trend rate is assumed to gradually decrease from 12.4% for
1995 to 5.8% for 2009 and all future years. If the assumed health care cost
trend rate increases by one percentage point in each subsequent year, the
aggregate of the service and interest cost components of annual postretirement
benefit expense would increase by $4 million and the APBO would rise by $33
million.
11. Stock Option Plans, Retention Stock Plans and Other Capital Stock
Pursuant to the Corporation's stock option, retention and restricted stock plans
for directors, officers and key employees, 9,747,370, 14,469,250 and 4,095,900
common shares or options for common shares were available for grant at December
31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Options under the plans are granted at 100% of market value at the date of grant
and are exercisable for a period of ten years from the grant date. While
options become exercisable no earlier than one year after grant, in 1994 a
multiyear grant was made covering normal annual grants for three years,
becoming exercisable over a three-year period, provided designated target
Union Pacific common stock prices are met, or becoming fully exercisable in
any event after nine years. The plans also provide for granting of options
containing stock appreciation rights (SARs) features; however, all outstanding
SARs were voluntarily surrendered during 1994.
The plans also provide for awarding restricted shares of common stock to
eligible employees, generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates
during the prescribed restricted period. In addition, a multiyear award
was made in 1994 covering a performance period through 1998, with vesting
dependent upon the achievement of certain Union Pacific stock price targets.
During 1994, 1993 and 1992, 755,230, 208,700 and 131,450 retention and
restricted shares, respectively, were issued.
The Corporation has announced programs to repurchase up to $1.2 billion of its
common shares. Since 1984, 15 million shares have been repurchased at a cost of
$841 million.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
There are various lawsuits pending against the Corporation and certain of its
subsidiaries. The Corporation is also subject to Federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations, and is currently participating in the
investigation and remediation of numerous sites. Where the remediation costs
can be reasonably determined, and where such remediation is probable, the
Corporation has recorded a liability. At December 31, 1994, the Corporation
had accrued $243 million for estimated future environmental costs and
believes it is reasonably possible that actual environmental costs could be
lower than the recorded reserve or as much as 25% higher. The recorded
liability includes $105 million related to properties previously sold,
including $50.5 million for the obligation to participate in the
environmental remediation of the Wilmington properties. The Corporation
has also entered into commitments and provided guarantees for specific
financial and contractual obligations of its subsidiaries and affiliates.
The Corporation does not expect that the lawsuits, environmental costs,
commitments or guarantees will have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated financial position or its results of operations.
13. Other Income - Net
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION (unaudited)
Stockholders and Dividends
The common stock of the Corporation is traded on various stock exchanges,
principally the New York Stock Exchange. At January 31, 1995, there were
205,911,244 shares of outstanding common stock and approximately 62,500 common
stockholders. At that date, the closing price of the common stock on the New
York Stock Exchange was $50.25.
Cash dividends declared on common stock by the Corporation were $1.66 per share
in 1994 and $1.54 per share in 1993. Union Pacific has paid dividends to its
common stockholders during each of the past 95 years. See Note 8 to the
Financial Statements for a discussion regarding restrictions relating to the
payment of cash dividends.
Rail Transportation
Trucking
Natural Resources
Future oil and gas sales, and production and development costs have been
estimated using prices and costs in effect as of each year-end. Future net
revenues were discounted to present value at 10%, a uniform rate set by the
FASB. Income taxes represent the tax effect (at statutory rates) of the
difference between the standardized measure values and tax bases of the
underlying properties at the end of the year.
Changes in the supplies and demand for oil and natural gas, inflation, timing of
production, reserve revisions and other factors make these estimates inherently
imprecise and subject to substantial revision. As a result, these measures are
not the Corporation's estimate of future cash flows nor do these measures serve
as an estimate of current market value.
