All Sankey flows are reported GAAP amounts or transparent sums of adjacent reported expense lines. Revenue-unit and operating-ratio comparisons in annotations use filing tables; adjusted measures are explicitly labeled non-GAAP.
Labels and narrative explain the filing. A category marked “arithmetic bridge” or “residual” is calculated from reported totals, rather than a separately reported line.
