BNSF
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017
were $3,591 million, an increase of $329 million, or 10%,
compared to three months ended March 31, 2016. A significant
portion of this increase is due to the following changes in
underlying trends in expenses:
•
Compensation and benefits increased primarily due to higher
health and welfare costs, wage inflation, and increased
volumes partially offset by productivity improvements.
Fuel increased due to significantly higher average fuel prices
and increased volumes, partially offset by improved
efficiency.
Depreciation expense increased due to a larger depreciable
asset base.
