CALGARY,
AB, Oct. 25, 2023 /CNW/ - Canadian Pacific
Kansas City (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) (CPKC) today announced its
third-quarter results, including revenues of $3.3 billion,
diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.84 and core adjusted combined diluted
EPS1, 2 of $0.92.
"We are now more than six months into the CPKC story, and I am
pleased with the progress we continue to make in unlocking the
value of this unrivalled truly North American network," said
Keith Creel, CPKC President and
Chief Executive Officer. "While we encountered challenges this
quarter due to a softer macro-economic environment and external
labor disruptions, we remain focused on safely delivering for our
customers across this powerful franchise."
Third quarter 2023 results1
- Reported operating ratio (OR) increased by 540 basis points to
64.9 percent from 59.5 percent in Q3 2022
- Core adjusted combined OR2 increased 190 basis
points to 61.7 percent from 59.8 percent in Q3 2022
- Reported diluted EPS decreased to $0.84 from $0.96 in
Q3 2022
- Core adjusted combined diluted EPS2 decreased to
$0.92 from $1.01 in Q3 2022
- Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)-reportable train accident
frequency declined nine percent to 1.30 from 1.43 in Q3 2022 on a
combined basis3
- FRA-reportable personal injury frequency declined 35 percent to
0.97 from 1.50 in Q3 2022 on a combined basis3
2023 Guidance Update
CPKC now expects core adjusted
combined diluted EPS2 to be flat to slightly positive
versus 2022 core adjusted combined diluted EPS2 of
$3.77.
"Economic headwinds and other near-term challenges, including
the Port of Vancouver strike, have
weighed on volumes more than we anticipated; therefore, we are
adjusting our near-term guidance accordingly," Creel added. "Our
enthusiasm for this combination and the long-term value it will
produce remains unchanged as we stay focused on executing CPKC's
unique and undeniable growth opportunities."

The results of KCS are
included on a consolidated basis from April 14, 2023, the date we
acquired control. From December 14, 2021 to April 13, 2023, we
recorded our interest in KCS under the equity method of
accounting.

These measures have no
standardized meanings prescribed by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and, therefore,
may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other
companies. For information regarding non-GAAP measures including
reconciliations, see attached supplementary schedule of Non-GAAP
Measures and Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures below.

FRA statistics for Q3
2022 reflect Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern results on a
combined basis. In the third quarter of 2022, CP standalone
reported FRA personal injury frequency of 0.86 and FRA reportable
train accident frequency of 0.37. FRA reportable personal injury
frequency on a combined basis was previously reported as 1.51. This
restatement reflects new information available within a specified
period as stipulated by the FRA but that exceed CPKC's financial
reporting timeline.

information presented herein are reasonable as of the date hereof,
there can be no assurance that they will prove to be correct.
Current conditions, economic and otherwise, render assumptions,

regulatory responses to climate change; anticipated in-service
dates; success of hedging activities; operational performance and
reliability; customer, regulatory and other stakeholder approvals

transaction. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. These
and other factors are detailed from time to time in reports filed
by CPKC with securities regulators in Canada and the
United States. Reference should be made to "Item 1A - Risk
Factors" and "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Forward-Looking
Statements" in CPKC's annual and interim reports on Form 10-K and
10-Q.
Any forward-looking information contained in this news release
is made as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, CPKC
undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any
forward-looking information, or the foregoing assumptions and risks
affecting such forward-looking information, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise.
Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures
Although CPKC has
provided forward-looking non-GAAP measures (core adjusted combined
diluted EPS) management is unable to reconcile, without
unreasonable efforts, the forward-looking core adjusted combined
diluted EPS to the most comparable GAAP measure, due to unknown
variables and uncertainty related to future results. These unknown
variables may include unpredictable transactions of significant
value. In recent years, the Company has recognized
acquisition-related costs, the merger termination payment received,
KCS' gain on unwinding of interest rate hedges (net of Canadian
Pacific's (CP) associated purchase accounting basis differences and
tax), the FX impact of translating the Company's debt and lease
liabilities (including borrowings under the credit facility), loss
on derecognition of CPKC's previously held equity method investment
in KCS, discrete tax items, changes in the outside basis tax
difference between the carrying amount of the Company's equity
investment in KCS and its tax basis of the investment, settlement
of Mexican taxes relating to prior years, changes in income tax
rates, and changes to an uncertain tax item. Acquisition-related
costs include legal, consulting, financing fees, integration costs
including third-party services and system migration, debt exchange
transaction costs, community investments, fair value gain or loss
on FX forward contracts and interest rate hedges, FX gain on U.S.
dollar-denominated cash on hand from the issuances of long-term
debt to fund the KCS acquisition, restructuring, employee retention
and synergy incentive costs, and transaction and integration costs
incurred by KCS which were recognized within Equity earnings of
Kansas City Southern in the Company's Consolidated Statements of
Income. KCS has also recognized FX gains and losses. These items
may not be non-recurring, and may include items that are settled in
cash. Specifically, due to the magnitude of the acquisition, its
significant impact to the Company's business and complexity of
integrating the acquired business and operations, the Company
expects to incur the acquisition-related costs beyond the year of
acquisition. These or other similar, large unforeseen transactions
affect diluted EPS but may be excluded from CPKC's core adjusted
combined diluted EPS. Additionally, the Canadian-to-U.S. dollar and
Mexican peso-to-U.S. dollar exchange rates are unpredictable and
can have a significant impact on CPKC's reported results but may be
excluded from CPKC's core adjusted combined diluted EPS. For
further information regarding non-GAAP measures, see below.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
September 30,
2023
(unaudited)
1 Description of business and
Basis of presentation
On April 14, 2023, Canadian
Pacific Railway Limited ("CPRL" or "CP") assumed control of Kansas
City Southern ("KCS") (through an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary), and filed articles of amendment to change CPRL's name
to Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited ("CPKC"). CPKC owns and
operates the only freight railway spanning Canada, the United
States ("U.S."), and Mexico. CPKC provides rail and intermodal
transportation services over a network of approximately 20,000
miles, directly serving principal business centres of Canada, the U.S., and Mexico.
These unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
("Interim Consolidated Financial Statements") of CPKC and its
subsidiaries (collectively, "CPKC", or "the Company"), expressed in
Canadian dollars, reflect management's estimates and assumptions
that are necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). They do
not include all disclosures required under GAAP for annual
financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
2022 annual Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in
CPRL's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies
used are consistent with the accounting policies used in preparing
CPRL's 2022 annual Consolidated Financial Statements except as
discussed in Note 2.
In these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, unless the
context indicates otherwise, references to "CPKC", "the Company",
"we", "our", or "us" are to Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited
and its subsidiaries, which includes KCS as a consolidated
subsidiary on and from April 14, 2023. Prior to April 14,
2023, KCS was held as an equity investment accounted for by the
equity method of accounting.
The Company's operations can be affected by seasonal
fluctuations such as changes in customer demand and weather-related
issues. This seasonality could impact quarter-over-quarter
comparisons.
In management's opinion, the Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal and
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly such
information. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the
results expected for the fiscal year.
2 Accounting changes
Implemented in 2023
On January 1, 2023, the Company
adopted the new Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-08, issued
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), and all
related amendments under FASB Accounting Standards Codification
("ASC"), Topic 805, Business Combinations, Accounting for Contract
Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers in
anticipation of obtaining effective control of KCS. The amendment
introduces the requirement for an acquirer to recognize and measure
contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business
combination in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic
606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than at fair
value. The Company assumed control of KCS (through an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary) on April 14, 2023. This update was
applied prospectively to contract assets and liabilities within the
scope of this amendment, which includes contract assets and
liabilities of KCS that are recorded in the purchase price
allocation. The adoption of the amendment did not result in a
material impact to the Company's financial statements. See Note 8
for further discussion on the business acquisition of KCS.
All other accounting pronouncements that became effective during
the period covered by the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated
Financial statements and related disclosures.
Future changes
All accounting pronouncements recently issued, but not effective
until after September 30, 2023, have
been assessed and are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and related
disclosures.

4 Income taxes
During the three months ended September
30, 2023, legislation was enacted to decrease the
Iowa and Arkansas state corporate income tax rates. As
a result of these changes, the Company recorded a deferred tax
recovery of $14 million related to the revaluation of deferred
income tax balances.
During the three months ended September
30, 2022, legislation was enacted to decrease the
Iowa state corporate income tax
rate. As a result of this change, the Company recorded a deferred
tax recovery of $12 million related
to the revaluation of deferred income tax balances.
The effective tax rates including discrete items for the three
and nine months ended September 30,
2023 were 24.88% and 166.83%, respectively, compared to
18.01% and 18.97%, respectively for the same periods of 2022.
For the three months ended September 30,
2023, the effective tax rate was 24.96%, excluding the
discrete items of amortization of business acquisition fair value
adjustments of $87 million,
acquisition-related costs incurred by CPKC of $24 million, a
tax settlement with the Servicio de Administración Tributaria
("SAT") (Mexican tax authority) in relation to taxation years for
which audits have closed and an estimated reserve for potential
future audit settlements totaling $15 million (see further
discussion within the Mexican Tax Audits section below), and a
deferred tax recovery of $14 million on state corporate income
tax rate changes as mentioned above.
For the three months ended September 30,
2022, the effective tax rate was 24.25%, excluding the
discrete items of the equity earnings of KCS of $221 million, acquisition-related costs incurred
by CPKC of $18 million, a deferred tax recovery of
$12 million on state corporate income tax rate changes as
mentioned above, and an outside basis deferred tax recovery of
$9 million arising from the difference between the carrying
amount of CPKC's investment in KCS for financial reporting and the
underlying tax basis of this investment.
For the nine months ended September 30,
2023, the effective tax rate was 24.91%, excluding the
discrete items of the reversal of the deferred tax liability on the
outside basis difference of the investment in KCS of $7,832 million upon acquiring control (see Note
8), remeasurement loss of KCS of $7,175
million (see Note 8), the equity earnings of KCS of
$230 million, amortization of
business acquisition fair value adjustments of $162 million, acquisition-related costs incurred
by CPKC of $158 million, revaluation
of deferred income tax balances on unitary state apportionment
changes of $51 million, an outside
basis deferred tax recovery of $23
million arising from the difference between the carrying
amount of CPKC's investment in KCS for financial reporting and the
underlying tax basis of this investment, a tax settlement with the
SAT in relation to taxation years for which audits have closed and
an estimated settlement for potential future audit settlements
totaling $15 million (see further discussion within Mexican
Tax Audits section below), and a deferred tax recovery of
$14 million on state corporate income tax rate changes as
mentioned above.
For the nine months ended September 30,
2022, the effective tax rate was 24.25%, excluding the
discrete items of the equity earnings of KCS of $627 million, acquisition-related costs incurred
by CPKC of $57 million, a deferred tax recovery of
$12 million on state corporate income tax rate changes as
mentioned above, and an outside basis deferred tax expense of
$8 million arising from the difference between the carrying
amount of CPKC's investment in KCS for financial reporting and the
underlying tax basis of this investment.
Mexican Tax Audits
Kansas City Southern de México, S.A. de C.V. (also known as
Canadian Pacific Kansas City Mexico) ("CPKCM") closed audit
examinations with the SAT for the tax years 2016-2020 in
September 2023. The audit
examinations were for corporate income tax and value added tax
("VAT"). The settlement of these audits resulted in a payment of
$75 million in September and a $16 million reduction to
the April 14, 2023 refundable VAT
balance, which was classified within "Accounts receivable, net".
The settlements primarily resulted in an increase to "Goodwill"
(see Note 8) and an "Income tax expense" of $9 million. The
estimated impact of potential future audit settlements were
substantially reserved as of September 30,
2023, which included a reduction to the April 14, 2023 VAT balance of $9 million and
an income tax expense of $6 million.
Mexican Value Added Tax
CPKCM is not required to charge its customers VAT on
international import or export transportation services, which prior
to 2022 resulted in CPKCM paying more VAT on its expenses than it
collected from customers. These excess VAT payments are refundable
by the Mexican government. Prior to 2019, Mexican companies could
offset their monthly refundable VAT balance with other tax
obligations. In January 2019, Mexican
tax reform eliminated the ability to offset other tax obligations
with refundable VAT. From 2019 through 2021, CPKCM generated a
refundable VAT balance and filed refund claims with the SAT, which
have not been fully recovered or settled.
In November 2021, changes to the
VAT law were announced and became effective beginning January 1, 2022. These changes reduced the
recoverability of VAT paid by CPKCM on its expenditures that
support international import transportation service revenues that
are not subject to a VAT charge. VAT that is unrecoverable from the
Mexican government results in incremental VAT expense for CPKCM.
Beginning in 2022, CPKCM changed certain service offerings to
either require VAT to be charged to customers on revenue, or impose
a rate increase to offset the incremental VAT expense. These
measures implemented by CPKCM increased the VAT collected from
customers and payable to the Mexican government.
As of September 30, 2023 and
April 14, 2023, the CPKCM refundable
VAT balance was $10 million and
$55 million, respectively. There was a $25 million
reduction to the April 14, 2023 VAT
balance as a result of the Mexican Tax Audit settlements as
discussed above. The settlement resulted in impacts to "Goodwill"
(see Note 8) and the refundable VAT balance at April 14, 2023. CPKCM has prior favourable
Mexican court decisions and a legal opinion supporting its right
under Mexican law to recover the refundable VAT balance from the
Mexican government and believes the VAT to be fully recoverable.
CPKCM expects to recover the refundable VAT balance as VAT billed
to customers exceeds creditable VAT charged by vendors.

8 Business acquisition
Management is required to make estimates and assumptions of the
fair value of assets acquired and liabilities and non-controlling
interest assumed in the business combination at the acquisition
date. These estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and
subject to refinement. Therefore, during the measurement period,
which may be up to one year from the date of acquisition, the
Company will adjust the fair values of the assets and liabilities
based on new information about facts and circumstances that existed
at the Control Date that, if known, would affect the amounts
recognized as of that date. Changes in the provisional amounts may
impact goodwill. After the earlier of the end of the
measurement period or when the final fair value of the assets and
liabilities assumed have been determined, any subsequent
adjustments are recorded in the Interim Consolidated Statements of
Income.
The Company identifies pre-acquisition contingencies as of the
date of acquisition and will continue to assess these contingencies
on a quarterly basis throughout the measurement period to determine
whether these contingencies should be included in the fair value of
assets and liabilities assumed. After the earlier of the end
of the measurement period or when the final fair value of the
assets and liabilities assumed have been determined, any subsequent
changes to the pre-acquisition contingencies that impact the fair
value of the assets and liabilities assumed are recorded in the
Interim Consolidated Statements of Income.
In the event that the Company acquires a business in which it
previously held an equity interest, the Company remeasures the fair
value of the investment at the acquisition date, with any
difference in the valuation recorded as a net remeasurement gain or
loss in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income. Any
pre-existing relationship between the Company and the acquiree is
effectively settled with a corresponding gain or loss recorded in
the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income, separately, from the
business acquisition.
Kansas City Southern
On December 14, 2021, the Company
purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of KCS and
placed the shares of KCS in a voting trust. Prior to control, KCS
was a U.S. Class I railway with approximately 7,000 route miles
extending from the Midwest and southeast portions of the United States south to Mexico and connected with all Class I
railways. KCS is connected with the Company's network in
Kansas City.
On March 15, 2023, the U.S.
Surface Transportation Board (the "STB") issued a final decision
approving the Company and KCS's joint merger application, subject
to certain conditions. The Company assumed control of KCS on
April 14, 2023 ("Control Date"). Between December 14, 2021 and April 13, 2023 the Company recorded its
investment in KCS using the equity method of accounting, see Note 9
Investment in KCS for further discussion. On assuming control, the
merger created the only single-line railroad linking the United States, Mexico, and Canada and will enable significant growth for
the Company's rail customers.
Accordingly, the Company commenced consolidation of KCS on the
Control Date, accounting for the acquisition as a business
combination achieved in stages. The results from operations and
cash flows have been consolidated prospectively from the Control
Date. The Company derecognized its previously held equity method
investment in KCS of $44,402 million as of April 13, 2023 and remeasured the investment at
its Control Date fair value of $37,227 million, which formed part of the
purchase consideration, resulting in a net remeasurement loss of
$7,175 million. In addition, a
deferred tax recovery of $7,832
million was recognized upon the derecognition of the
deferred tax liability computed on the outside basis that the
Company had recognized in relation to its investment in KCS while
accounted for using the equity method. The fair value of the
previously held equity interest in KCS was determined through use
of a discounted cash flow approach, which incorporated the
Company's best estimates of long term growth rates, tax rates,
discount rates, and terminal multiples.
The identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and
non-controlling interest assumed are measured at their provisional
fair values at the Control Date, with certain exceptions. The
provisional fair values of the tangible assets were determined
using valuation techniques including, but not limited to, the
market approach and the cost approach. The significant assumptions
used to determine the provisional fair value of the tangible assets
included, but were not limited to, a selection of comparable assets
and inflation. Presented with the acquired Properties are
concession rights and related assets held under the terms of a
concession from the Mexican government. The concession expires in
June 2047 and is renewable under
certain conditions for additional periods, each of up to 50
years.
The provisional fair values of the intangible assets were
determined using valuation techniques including, but not limited
to, the multi-period excess earnings method, the replacement cost
method, the relief from royalty method and the income approach. The
significant assumptions used to determine the provisional fair
values of the intangible assets included, but were not limited to,
the renewal probability and term of the Mexican concession
extension, discount rates, earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") margins and terminal
growth rates.
During the measurement period, the Company will finalize its
allocation of the Control Date fair value of KCS to the acquired
assets and assumed liabilities and non-controlling interest to
reflect additional information which may become available as to
facts and circumstances as of the Control Date. Measurement
uncertainty existed at the Control date with respect to, but not
limited to, property plant and equipment, materials and supplies,
environmental, legal, personal injury and other contingent
liabilities, deferred income taxes, uncertain tax positions and
other tax assets or liabilities, pensions and other benefits and
other assets and liabilities. During the measurement period, this
uncertainty may be resolved due to new information being obtained
about facts and circumstances that existed as of the Control Date
that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized for
assets and liabilities as of the Control Date. The following table
summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation with the
amounts recognized in respect of the identifiable assets acquired
and liabilities and non-controlling interest assumed on the Control
Date, as well as the fair value of the previously held equity
interest in KCS, and reflects the measurement period adjustments
recorded during the third quarter:

During the three months ended September
30, 2023, measurement period adjustments were recorded as a
result of new information that was obtained about facts and
circumstances of certain KCS assets and liabilities at the Control
date. The new information was primarily in relation to CPKCM's VAT
assets and liabilities, discussed further in Note 4. These
adjustments to the balance sheet had a negligible impact to income
in the third quarter of 2023. The Company continues to assess the
facts and circumstances relating to the acquired assets and assumed
liabilities of KCS at the Control Date.
Acquired cash and cash equivalents of $298 million are
presented as an investing activity on the Company's Interim
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2023.
The fair value of net working capital acquired included trade
receivables of $698 million and accounts payable and accrued
liabilities of $943 million.
Intangible assets of $3,022 million consist of contracts and
customer relationships with amortization periods of nine to 22
years as well as U.S. trackage rights and the KCS brand with
indefinite estimated useful lives. Included in the acquired
Properties are concession rights and related assets held under the
terms of a concession from the Mexican government, which have
provisional fair values totalling $9,176 million. The concession rights and
related assets are amortized over the shorter of the underlying
asset lives and the estimated concession term, including one
renewal period, of 74 years.
Other long-term liabilities included environmental liabilities
of $132 million and legal and personal injury claims of
$41 million, which are contingent on
the outcome of uncertain future events. The values are measured at
amortized cost and evaluated for changes in facts at the end of the
reporting period.
The excess of the total consideration, over the amounts
allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities and the
non-controlling interest recognized, was recognized as goodwill of
$17,591 million. All of the
goodwill has been assigned to the rail transportation segment. None
of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax
purposes.
The Interim Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2023
included revenue of $1,208 million and $2,206 million and net income attributable to
controlling shareholders of $224
million and $362 million from
KCS from the period of April 14, 2023
to September 30, 2023. On a pro forma
basis, if the Company had consolidated KCS starting January 1, 2022, the revenue and earnings of the
combined entity would be as follows for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2023 and
September 30, 2022:

For the nine months ended September 30,
2023 and three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the supplemental pro forma
Net income attributable to controlling shareholders for the
combined entity were adjusted for:
- the removal of the remeasurement loss of $7,175 million upon the derecognition of CPRL's
previously held equity method investment in KCS from the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2023,
which included the reclassification of associated accumulated other
comprehensive income to retained earnings; and recognition of this
remeasurement loss in the three months ended March 31, 2022;
- depreciation and amortization of differences between the
historic carrying value and the preliminary fair value of tangible
and intangible assets and investments prior to the Control
Date;
- amortization of differences between the carrying amount and the
fair value of debt through net interest expense prior to the
Control Date;
- the elimination of intercompany transactions prior to the
Control Date between the Company and KCS;
- miscellaneous amounts have been reclassified across revenue,
operating expenses, and non-operating income or expense, consistent
with CPKC's financial statement captions;
- the removal of equity earnings from KCS, previously held as an
equity method investment prior to the Control Date, of $230 million, $221
million, and $627 million for
the nine months ended September 30,
2023 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively;
- estimated transaction costs expected to be incurred by the
Company; and
- income tax adjustments including:
- the derecognition of a deferred tax recovery of $7,832 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2023 related to the
elimination of the deferred tax liability on the outside basis
difference of the investment in KCS; and recognition of this
deferred tax recovery in the three months ended March 31, 2022;
- the derecognition of a deferred tax recovery for the nine
months ended September 30, 2023 on
CPKC unitary state apportionment changes; and recognition of these
CPKC unitary state apportionment changes in the three months ended
March 31, 2022;
- a deferred tax recovery prior to the Control Date on
amortization of fair value adjustments to investments, properties,
intangible assets and debt; and
- a current tax recovery on transaction costs expected to be
incurred by CPKC.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred
$24 million and $158 million, in acquisition-related
costs, respectively, of which:
- $1 million and $64 million were recorded in "Compensation and
benefits" primarily related to severance costs, retention and
synergy related incentive compensation costs;
- $22 million and $87 million were recorded within "Purchased
services and other" including third party purchased services, and
payments made to certain communities across the combined network to
address the environmental and social impacts of increased traffic
as required by voluntary agreements with communities and conditions
imposed by the STB pursuant to the STB's final decision approving
the Company and KCS's joint merger application, including, but not
limited to, payments related to new crossings, closure of existing
crossings and other infrastructure projects;
- $1 million and $1 million were recorded within "Materials";
and
- $nil and $6 million, were
recorded within "Other expense".
Acquisition-related costs of $nil and $11 million incurred
by KCS during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were included within "Equity
earnings of Kansas City Southern".
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred
$18 million and $57 million, in acquisition-related
costs, respectively, recorded within "Purchased services and
other". Acquisition-related costs of $12 million and
$39 million incurred by KCS during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2022 were
included within "Equity earnings of Kansas City Southern".
9 Investment in KCS
On April 14, 2023 the Company assumed control of KCS and
subsequently derecognized its previously held equity method
investment in KCS of $44,402 million as of April 13, 2023
(December 31, 2022 - $45,091 million).
For the period January 1 to April 13,
2023, the Company recognized $230 million of equity
earnings of KCS (nine months ended September
30, 2022 - $627 million), and received dividends
from KCS for the period January 1 to April
13, 2023 of $300 million (nine months ended
September 30, 2022 - $593 million). The foreign currency translation
of the investment in KCS for the period January 1 to April
13, 2023, totaled a loss of $578 million (nine months
ended September 30, 2022 - gain of
$3,445 million). Included within
the equity earnings of KCS recognized for the period January 1 to April 13, 2023 was amortization (net
of tax) of basis differences of $48 million (nine months
ended September 30, 2022 -
$121 million). These basis differences relate to depreciable
property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with definite
lives, and long-term debt, and are amortized over the related
assets' remaining useful lives and the remaining terms to maturity
of the debt instruments.

($479 million) 4.450% 12.5-year Notes at maturity, and U.S.
$439 million ($592 million) of 3.00% 10-year Senior Notes
at maturity by release of funds from the trustee as discussed below
in "Satisfaction and Discharge of KCS 2023 Notes".
Credit facility
Effective May 11, 2023, the
Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement
to extend the maturity dates and increase the total amount
available under the facility. The amended revolving credit facility
increased the aggregate commitments under the second amended and
restated credit agreement from U.S. $1.3 billion to U.S. $2.2 billion, and extended the maturity
dates of the five year facility and two year facility from
September 27, 2026 to May 11, 2028, and September 27, 2023 to May
11, 2025, respectively. As at September 30, 2023, the revolving credit facility
was undrawn (December 31, 2022 -
undrawn). The Company also terminated the legacy KCS credit
facility effective May 11, 2023.
Commercial paper
program
The Company has a commercial paper program which enables it to
issue commercial paper up to a maximum aggregate principal amount
of U.S. $1.5 billion in the form of
unsecured promissory notes. On July 12,
2023, the Company increased the maximum aggregate principal
amount of commercial paper available to be issued from U.S.
$1.0 billion to U.S $1.5 billion. This commercial paper program
is backed by the U.S. $2.2 billion
revolving credit facility. As at September
30, 2023, the Company had total commercial paper borrowings
outstanding of U.S. $300 million ($406 million) included
in "Long-term debt maturing within one year" on the Company's
Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets (December 31, 2022 - $nil). The weighted-average
interest rate on these borrowings as at September 30, 2023 was 5.54%. The Company
presents issuances and repayments of commercial paper, all of which
have a maturity of less than 90 days, in the Company's Interim
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on a net basis. The Company
also terminated the legacy KCS commercial paper program effective
May 19, 2023.
KCS Debt Exchange
On March 20, 2023, the Company
announced the commencement of offers to exchange any and all
validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn notes) and accepted
notes of seven series, each previously issued by KCS (the "Old
Notes") for notes issued by Canadian Pacific Railway Company
("CPRC") (the "CPRC Notes"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CPKC, and
unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by CPKC. Each
series of CPRC Notes has the same interest rates, interest payment
dates, maturity dates, and substantively the same optional
redemption provisions as the corresponding series of Old Notes.
In exchange for each U.S. $1,000
principal amount of Old Notes that was validly tendered prior to
March 31, 2023 (the "Early
Participation Date") and not validly withdrawn, holders of Old
Notes received consideration consisting of U.S. $1,000 principal amount of CPRC Notes and a cash
amount of U.S. $1.00. This total
consideration included an early participation premium, consisting
of U.S. $30 principal amount of CPRC
Notes per U.S. $1,000 principal
amount of Old Notes. In exchange for each U.S. $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes that was
validly tendered after the Early Participation Date but prior to
the expiration of the exchange offers on April 17, 2023 (the "Expiration Date") and not
validly withdrawn, holders of Old Notes received consideration
consisting of U.S. $970 principal
amount of CPRC Notes and a cash amount of U.S. $1.00. On April 19,
2023, the exchange offerings were settled as follows:

The debt exchange was accounted for as a modification of debt as
the financial terms of the CPRC Notes do not differ from the Old
Notes of KCS and there is no substantial difference between the
present value of cash flows under each respective set of notes.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $nil and
$12 million, respectively of costs associated with the debt
exchange, recorded within "Other expense". These charges, along
with amounts paid to noteholders upon execution of the debt
exchange in the second quarter of 2023, totalling $2 million
and $17 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2023 respectively, have
been classified as "Acquisition-related financing fees" within the
Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Satisfaction and Discharge of KCS 2023 Notes
On April 24, 2023, KCS irrevocably
deposited U.S. $647 million of non-callable government
securities ("Treasury notes") with the trustee of two series
of notes that mature in 2023 and were not included within the KCS
debt exchange (the "KCS 2023 Notes") to satisfy and discharge KCS's
obligations under the KCS 2023 Notes. As a result of the
satisfaction and discharge, the obligations of the Company under
the indenture with respect to the KCS 2023 Notes have been
terminated, except those provisions of the indenture that, by their
terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge. The Company utilized
existing cash resources and issuances of commercial paper to fund
the satisfaction and discharge. On May 15,
2023 the U.S. $439 million 3.00% Senior Notes
were repaid by release of funds from the trustee. The remaining KCS
2023 Notes as well as the short-term investment in Treasury notes
will be reported on the Company's Interim Consolidated Balance
Sheets until their maturity date. The balance of principal and
interest outstanding as of September 30,
2023 on the 3.85% Senior Notes maturing November 2023 was U.S. $202 million. In the
Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the
government securities of U.S. $447 million
($600 million) purchased towards the settlement of the May
maturity were treated as a cash equivalent, with settlement
ultimately presented within financing activities as a repayment of
long-term debt; the purchase of government securities of U.S.
$198 million ($267 million) towards the settlement of the
November maturity was presented within investing activities. This
transaction, along with the debt exchange mentioned above, relieved
KCS from continuous disclosure obligations.
13 Financial
instruments
A. Fair values of financial instruments
The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities
measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy established by
GAAP that prioritizes those inputs to valuation techniques used to
measure fair value based on the degree to which they are
observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as
follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 inputs, other than quoted
prices included within Level 1, are observable for the asset or
liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 inputs are not
observable in the market.
The Company's short-term financial instruments may include cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings
including commercial paper and term loans. The carrying values of
short-term financial instruments approximate their fair values.
The carrying value of the Company's long-term debt and finance
lease liabilities does not approximate their fair value. Their
estimated fair values have been determined based on market
information, where available, or by discounting future payments of
principal and interest at estimated interest rates expected to be
available to the Company at period end. All measurements are
classified as Level 2. The Company's long-term debt and finance
lease liabilities, including current maturities, with a carrying
value of $23,140 million as at
September 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $19,651 million), had a fair value
of $20,656 million (December 31,
2022 - $17,720 million).
B. Financial risk management
FX management
Net investment hedge
The effect of the Company's net investment hedge for the three
and nine months ended September 30,
2023 was an unrealized FX loss of $163 million and $1
million, respectively (three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022 - unrealized FX
loss of $440 million and $558 million, respectively) recognized in "Other
comprehensive income (loss)".
Foreign currency derivative instruments
The Company's Mexican subsidiaries have net U.S.
dollar-denominated monetary assets which, for Mexican income tax
purposes, are subject to periodic revaluation based on changes in
the value of the Mexican peso ("Ps.") against the U.S dollar. This
revaluation creates fluctuations in the Company's Mexican income
tax expense and the amount of income taxes paid in Mexican pesos.
The Company also has net monetary assets denominated in Mexican
pesos that are subject to periodic re-measurement and settlement
that create fluctuations within "Other expense". The Company has
hedged its net exposure to Mexican peso/U.S dollar fluctuations in
earnings with foreign currency forward contracts. The foreign
currency forward contracts involve the Company's agreement to buy
or sell pesos at an agreed-upon exchange rate on a future date.
As at September 30, 2023, the
Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts to
purchase a notional value of U.S. $215 million. These
outstanding contracts are at a weighted-average exchange rate of
Ps.20.61 per U.S. $1.00, and have a
term of less than one year. The Company has not designated any of
the foreign currency derivative contracts as hedging instruments
for accounting purposes. The Company measures the foreign currency
derivative contracts at fair value each period and recognizes any
change in "Other expense". The cash flows associated with these
instruments are classified as "Operating activities" within the
Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
During the three months ended September
30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $nil related to
foreign exchange currency forwards. Following the acquisition of
control of KCS on April 14, 2023 and
through the period ended September 30,
2023, the Company recorded a loss of $24 million
related to foreign exchange currency forwards. As at September 30, 2023, the fair value of outstanding
foreign exchange contracts included in "Accounts payable and
accrued liabilities" was $46 million.
Offsetting
The Company's foreign currency forward contracts are executed
with counterparties in the U.S. and are governed by International
Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements that include standard
netting arrangements. Asset and liability positions from contracts
with the same counterparty are net settled upon maturity/expiration
and presented on a net basis in the Interim Consolidated Balance
Sheets prior to settlement.
14 Pension and other
benefits
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company made
contributions to its defined benefit pension plans of $4 million and $13
million, respectively (three and nine months ended
September 30, 2022 - $5 million and $12
million, respectively).

15 Stock-based
compensation
As at September 30, 2023, the
Company had several stock-based compensation plans including stock
option plans, various cash-settled liability plans, and an employee
share purchase plan. These plans resulted in an expense for the
three and nine months ended September 30,
2023 of $13 million and
$84 million, respectively (three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022
- expense of $21 million and
$67 million, respectively).
Stock option plans
In the nine months ended September 30,
2023, under the Company's stock option plans, the Company
issued 856,332 options at the weighted-average price of
$105.82 per share, based on the
closing price on the grant date. Pursuant to the employee plan,
these options may be exercised upon vesting, which is between 12
months and 48 months after the grant date, and will expire after
seven years.
Under the fair value method, the fair value of the stock options
at grant date was approximately $26
million. The weighted-average fair value assumptions were

Performance share unit plans
During the nine months ended September
30, 2023, the Company issued 891,411 Performance Share Units
("PSUs") with a grant date fair value of approximately $96 million and 26,333 Performance Deferred Share
Units ("PDSUs") with a grant date fair value, including the value
of expected future matching units, of approximately $3 million. PSUs and PDSUs attract dividend
equivalents in the form of additional units based on dividends paid
on the Company's Common Shares, and vest approximately three to
four years after the grant date, contingent upon the Company's
performance ("performance factor"). The fair value of these PSUs
and PDSUs is measured periodically until settlement. Vested PSUs
are settled in cash. Vested PDSUs are settled in cash pursuant to
the Deferred Share Unit ("DSU") Plan and are eligible for a 25%
match if the holder has not exceeded their share ownership
requirements, and are paid out only when the holder ceases their
employment with the Company.
The performance period for 544,175 PSUs and all PDSUs issued in
the nine months ended September 30,
2023 is January 1, 2023 to
December 31, 2025 and the performance
factors are Free Cash Flow ("FCF"), Total Shareholder Return
("TSR") compared to the S&P/TSX 60 Index, and TSR compared to
the S&P 500 Industrials Index. The performance period for the
remaining 347,236 PSUs is April 28,
2023 to December 1, 2026 and
the performance factors are annualized earnings before interest,
tax, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), and TSR compared to
Class I Railways.
The performance period for 489,990 PSUs and 50,145 PDSUs issued
in 2020 was January 1, 2020 to
December 31, 2022, and the
performance factors for these PSUs were Return on Invested Capital
("ROIC"), TSR compared to the S&P/TSX 60 Index, and TSR
compared to Class I Railways. The resulting payout was 180% of the
outstanding units multiplied by the Company's average share price
calculated using the last 30 trading days preceding December 31, 2022. In the first quarter of 2023,
payouts occurred on 459,358 PSUs outstanding, including dividends
reinvested, totalling $87 million. The 45,058 PDSUs that
vested on December 31, 2022 for a
total fair value of $11 million, including dividends
reinvested and matching units, will payout in the future pursuant
to the DSU plan (as described above).
16 Contingencies
Litigation
In the normal course of its operations, the Company becomes
involved in various legal actions, including claims relating to
injuries and damage to property. The Company maintains provisions
it considers to be adequate for such actions. While the final
outcome with respect to actions outstanding or pending at
September 30, 2023 cannot be
predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that
their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial position, results of operations, or
liquidity. However, an unexpected adverse resolution of one or more
of these legal actions could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial position, results of operations, or
liquidity in a particular quarter or fiscal year.
Legal proceedings related to Lac-Mégantic rail
accident
On July 6, 2013, a train carrying
petroleum crude oil operated by Montréal Maine and Atlantic Railway ("MMAR") or a
subsidiary, Montréal Maine &
Atlantic Canada Co. ("MMAC" and collectively the "MMA Group"),
derailed in Lac-Mégantic, Québec. The derailment occurred on a
section of railway owned and operated by the MMA Group and while
the MMA Group exclusively controlled the train.
Following the derailment, MMAC sought court protection in
Canada under the Companies'
Creditors Arrangement Act and MMAR filed for bankruptcy in the
U.S. Plans of arrangement were approved in both Canada and the U.S. (the "Plans"), providing
for the distribution of approximately $440
million amongst those claiming derailment damages.
A number of legal proceedings, set out below, were commenced in
Canada and the U.S. against the
Company and others:
(1) Québec's Minister of Sustainable
Development, Environment, Wildlife and Parks ordered various
parties, including the Company, to remediate the derailment site
(the "Cleanup Order") and served the Company with a Notice of Claim
for $95 million for those costs. The
Company appealed the Cleanup Order and contested the Notice of
Claim with the Administrative Tribunal of Québec. These proceedings
are stayed pending determination of the Attorney General of Québec
("AGQ") action (paragraph 2 below).
(2) The AGQ sued the Company in the Québec
Superior Court claiming $409 million
in damages, which was amended and reduced to $315 million (the "AGQ Action"). The AGQ Action
alleges that: (i) the Company was responsible for the
petroleum crude oil from its point of origin until its delivery to
Irving Oil Ltd.; and (ii) the Company is vicariously liable for the
acts and omissions of the MMA Group.
(3) A class action in the Québec Superior Court
on behalf of persons and entities residing in, owning or leasing
property in, operating a business in, or physically present in
Lac-Mégantic at the time of the derailment was certified against
the Company on May 8, 2015 (the
"Class Action"). Other defendants including MMAC and Mr.
Thomas Harding ("Harding") were
added to the Class Action on January 25,
2017. On November 28, 2019,
the plaintiffs' motion to discontinue their action against Harding
was granted. The Class Action seeks unquantified damages, including
for wrongful death, personal injury, property damage, and economic
loss.
(4) Eight subrogated insurers sued the Company
in the Québec Superior Court claiming approximately
$16 million in damages, which was
amended and reduced to approximately $15
million (the "Promutuel Action"), and two additional
subrogated insurers sued the Company claiming approximately
$3 million in damages (the "Royal
Action"). Both actions contain similar allegations as the AGQ
Action. The actions do not identify the subrogated parties. As
such, the extent of any overlap between the damages claimed in
these actions and under the Plans is unclear. The Royal Action is
stayed pending determination of the consolidated proceedings
described below.
On December 11, 2017, the AGQ
Action, the Class Action and the Promutuel Action were
consolidated. The joint liability trial of these consolidated
claims commenced on September 21,
2021 with oral arguments ending on June 15, 2022. The Québec Superior Court issued a
decision on December 14, 2022
dismissing all claims as against the Company, finding that the
Company's actions were not the direct and immediate cause of the
accident and the damages suffered by the plaintiffs. All three
plaintiffs filed a declaration of appeal on January 13, 2023. A damages trial will follow
after the disposition of all appeals, if necessary.
(5) Forty-eight plaintiffs (all individual
claims joined in one action) sued the Company, MMAC, and
Harding in the Québec Superior Court claiming approximately
$5 million in damages for economic
loss and pain and suffering, and asserting similar allegations as
in the Class Action and the AGQ Action. The majority of the
plaintiffs opted-out of the Class Action and all but two are also
plaintiffs in litigation against the Company, described in
paragraph 7 below. This action is stayed pending determination of
the consolidated claims described above.
(6) The MMAR U.S. bankruptcy estate
representative commenced an action against the Company in
November 2014 in the Maine Bankruptcy
Court claiming that the Company failed to abide by certain
regulations and seeking approximately U.S. $30 million in damages for MMAR's loss in
business value according to a recent expert report filed by the
bankruptcy estate. This action asserts that the Company knew or
ought to have known that the shipper misclassified the petroleum
crude oil and therefore should have refused to transport it.
Summary judgment motion was argued and taken under advisement on
June 9, 2022, and decision is
pending. On May 23, 2023, the case
management judge stayed the proceedings pending the outcome of the
appeal in the Canadian consolidated claims.
(7) The class and mass tort action commenced
against the Company in June 2015 in
Texas (on behalf
of Lac-Mégantic residents and wrongful death representatives)
and the wrongful death and personal injury actions commenced
against the Company in June 2015 in
Illinois and Maine, were all transferred and consolidated
in Federal District Court in Maine
(the "Maine Actions"). The Maine Actions allege that
the Company negligently misclassified and improperly packaged the
petroleum crude oil. On the Company's motion, the Maine Actions
were dismissed. The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal decision to
the United States First Circuit Court of Appeals, which dismissed
the plaintiffs' appeal on June 2,
2021. The plaintiffs further petitioned the United States
First Circuit Court of Appeals for a rehearing, which was denied on
September 8, 2021. On January 24, 2022, the plaintiffs further appealed
to the U.S. Supreme Court on two bankruptcy procedural grounds. On
May 31, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court
denied the petition, thereby rejecting the plaintiffs'
appeal.
(8) The trustee for the wrongful death trust
commenced Carmack Amendment claims against the Company in North
Dakota Federal Court, seeking to recover approximately U.S.
$6 million for damaged rail cars and
lost crude oil and reimbursement for the settlement paid by the
consignor and the consignee under the Plans (alleged
to be U.S. $110 million and U.S.
$60 million, respectively). The Court
issued an Order on August 6, 2020
granting and denying in parts the parties' summary judgment motions
which has been reviewed and confirmed following motions by the
parties for clarification and reconsideration. Final briefs of
dispositive motions for summary judgment and for reconsideration on
tariff applicability were submitted on September 30, 2022. On January 20, 2023, the Court granted in part the
Company's summary judgment motion by dismissing all claims for
recovery of settlement payments but leaving for trial the
determination of the value of the lost crude oil. It also dismissed
the Company's motion for reconsideration on tariff applicability.
The remaining issues of the value of the lost crude oil and
applicability of judgement reduction provisions do not require
trial, and have been fully briefed. Decision is pending.
At this stage of the proceedings, any potential responsibility
and the quantum of potential losses cannot be determined.
Nevertheless, the Company denies liability and is vigorously
defending these proceedings.
Court decision related to Remington Development Corporation
legal claim
On October 20, 2022, the Court of
King's Bench of Alberta issued a
decision in a claim brought by Remington Development Corporation
("Remington") against the Company and the Province of Alberta ("Alberta") with respect to an
alleged breach of contract by the Company in relation
to the sale of certain properties in Calgary. In its
decision, the Court found the Company had breached its contract
with Remington and Alberta had
induced the contract breach. The Court found the Company and
Alberta liable for damages of
approximately $164 million plus interest and costs, and
subject to an adjustment to the acquisition value of the property.
In a further decision on August 30,
2023, the Court determined that adjustment and set the total
damages at $165 million plus interest and costs. On
October 20, 2023, the Court
determined the costs payable to Remington, however, the Court has
not provided any indication of how the damages, which are currently
estimated to total approximately $215 million, should be
apportioned between the Company and Alberta. As a result, at this time, the
Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of damages for which
it is liable under the ruling of the Court. The Company has filed
an appeal of the Court's decision.
2014 Tax Assessment
On April 13, 2022, the SAT issued
an assessment to CPKCM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
for Ps.5,525 million ($424 million) for the fiscal year
2014, which included inflation, interest, and penalties. On
July 7, 2022, CPKCM filed with the
SAT an administrative challenge (recurso de revocación) against the
assessment. On September 26, 2022,
the SAT withdrew the administrative challenge. On November 10, 2022, CPKCM filed an administrative
lawsuit against the withdrawal of the administrative challenge. As
part of the lawsuit, CPKCM asked the Court for an injunction to
avoid the collection by the SAT of the 2014 assessment. On
December 7, 2022, the Administrative
Court admitted the annulment lawsuit filed by CPKCM. On
February 10, 2023, the SAT filed its
response to the lawsuit. On March 15,
2023, the lawsuit was opened to the evidentiary stage. On
September 30, 2023, the evidentiary
stage was closed. On October 19,
2023, CPKCM filed their final arguments with the Court. The
SAT had until October 23, 2023, to
file their final arguments to the Court. A resolution from the
Administrative Court is expected by the first quarter of 2024. The
decision from the Administrative Court may be appealed by CPKCM or
the SAT.
Environmental liabilities
Environmental remediation accruals, recorded on an undiscounted
basis unless a reliable, determinable estimate as to an amount and
timing of costs can be established, cover site-specific remediation
programs.
The accruals for environmental remediation represent the
Company's best estimate of its probable future obligation and
include both asserted and unasserted claims, without reduction for
anticipated recoveries from third parties. Although the recorded
accruals include the Company's best estimate of all probable costs,
the Company's total environmental remediation costs cannot be
predicted with certainty. Accruals for environmental remediation
may change from time to time as new information about previously
untested sites becomes known, and as environmental laws and
regulations evolve and advances are made in environmental
remediation technology. The accruals may also vary as the courts
decide legal proceedings against outside parties responsible for
contamination. These potential charges, which cannot be quantified
at this time, may materially affect income in the particular period
in which a charge is recognized. Costs related to existing, but as
yet unknown, or future contamination will be accrued in the period
in which they become probable and reasonably estimable.
The expense included in "Purchased services and other" in the
Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Income for the three
and nine months ended September 30,
2023 was $2 million and $6 million, respectively
(three and nine months ended September 30,
2022 - $1 million and $5 million, respectively).
Provisions for environmental remediation costs are recorded in the
Company's Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets in "Other long-term
liabilities", except for the current portion, which is recorded in
"Accounts payable and accrued liabilities". The total amount
provided as at September 30, 2023 was
$231 million (December 31, 2022
- $83 million) including liabilities recognized with the
acquisition of KCS. Payments are expected to be made over 10 years
through 2032.
2023 Business Interruption Insurance Settlement
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company realized gain
contingencies of $51 million recorded to "Purchased services
and other", as a result of settlements reached with insurers for
business interruption losses incurred by the Company related to
wildfires and floods in B.C.in 2021.

Average train speed is
defined as a measure of the line-haul movement from origin to
destination including terminal dwell hours. It is calculated
by dividing the total train miles travelled by the total train
hours operated. This calculation does not include delay time
related to customers or
foreign railroads and excludes the time and distance travelled by:
i) trains used in or around CPKC's yards; ii) passenger trains;
and
iii) trains used for repairing track. An increase in average train
speed indicates improved on-time performance resulting in improved
asset utilization.
|

|
Locomotive productivity
is defined as the daily average GTMs divided by daily average
operating horsepower. Operating horsepower excludes
units offline, tied up or in storage, or in use on other railways,
and includes foreign units.

|
Fuel efficiency is
defined as U.S. gallons of locomotive fuel consumed per 1,000
GTMs.

An employee is defined
as an individual currently engaged in full-time, part-time, or
seasonal employment with CPKC. CPKC monitors employment
levels in order to efficiently meet service and strategic
requirements. The number of employees is a key driver to total
compensation and benefits costs.

Non-GAAP Measures
The Company presents Non-GAAP measures, including Core adjusted
combined operating ratio and Core adjusted combined diluted
earnings per share, to provide an additional basis for evaluating
underlying earnings trends in the Company's current periods'
financial results that can be compared with the results of
operations in prior periods. Management believes these Non-GAAP
measures facilitate a multi-period assessment of long-term
profitability, including assessing future profitability.
These Non-GAAP measures have no standardized meaning and are not
defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and,
therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by
other companies. The presentation of these Non-GAAP measures is not
intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for,
or as superior to the financial information presented in accordance
with GAAP.
Non-GAAP Performance Measures
On April 14, 2023 (the "Control Date"), CP obtained control
of KCS and CPKC began consolidating KCS, which had been accounted
for under the equity method of accounting between December 14, 2021 and April 13, 2023. On the Control Date, CPKC's
previously-held interest in KCS was remeasured to its Control Date
fair value. CPKC is presenting Core adjusted combined operating
ratio and Core adjusted combined diluted earnings per share to give
effect to results while isolating and removing the impact of the
acquisition of KCS on those results. These measures provide a
comparison to prior period financial information as adjusted to
exclude certain significant items and are used to evaluate CPKC's
operating performance and for planning and forecasting future
business operations and future profitability.
Management believes the use of Non-GAAP measures provides
meaningful supplemental information about our operating results
because they exclude certain significant items that are not
considered indicative of future financial trends either by nature
or amount or provide improved comparability to past performance. As
a result, these items are excluded for management's assessment of
operational performance, allocation of resources, and preparation
of annual budgets. These significant items may include, but are not
limited to, restructuring and asset impairment charges,
individually significant gains and losses from sales of assets,
acquisition-related costs, the merger termination payment received,
KCS's gain on unwinding of interest rate hedges (net of CPKC's
associated purchase accounting basis differences and tax), as
recognized within "Equity earnings of Kansas City Southern" in the
Company's Consolidated Statements of Income, the foreign exchange
("FX") impact of translating the Company's debt and lease
liabilities (including borrowings under the credit facility), loss
on derecognition of CPKC's previously held equity method investment
in KCS, discrete tax items, changes in the outside basis tax
difference between the carrying amount of CPKC's equity investment
in KCS and its tax basis of this investment, a deferred tax
recovery related to the elimination of the deferred tax liability
on the outside basis difference of the investment, settlement of
Mexican taxes relating to prior years, changes in income tax rates,
changes to an uncertain tax item, and certain items outside the
control of management. Acquisition-related costs include legal,
consulting, financing fees, integration costs including third-party
services and system migration, debt exchange transaction costs,
community investments, fair value gain or loss on FX forward
contracts and interest rate hedges, FX gain on U.S.
dollar-denominated cash on hand from the issuances of long-term
debt to fund the KCS acquisition, restructuring, employee retention
and synergy incentive costs, and transaction and integration costs
incurred by KCS. These items may not be non-recurring, and may
include items that are settled in cash. Specifically, due to the
magnitude of the acquisition, its significant impact to the
Company's business and complexity of integrating the acquired
business and operations, the Company expects to incur
acquisition-related costs beyond the year of acquisition.
Management believes excluding these significant items from GAAP
results provides an additional viewpoint which may give users a
consistent understanding of CPKC's financial performance when
performing a multi-period assessment including assessing the
likelihood of future results. Accordingly, these Non-GAAP financial
measures may provide additional insight to investors and other
external users of CPKC's financial information.
In addition, Core adjusted combined operating ratio and Core
adjusted combined diluted earnings per share exclude KCS purchase
accounting. KCS purchase accounting represents the amortization of
basis differences being the incremental depreciation and
amortization in relation to fair value adjustments to properties
and intangible assets, incremental amortization in relation to fair
value adjustments to KCS's investments, and amortization of the
change in fair value of debt of KCS assumed on the Control Date, as
recognized within "Depreciation and amortization", "Other expense",
and "Net interest expense", respectively, in the Company's
Consolidated Statements of Income. During the periods that KCS was
equity accounted for, from December 14, 2021 to April 13,
2023, KCS purchase accounting represents the amortization of basis
differences, being the difference in value between the
consideration paid to acquire KCS and the underlying carrying value
of the net assets of KCS immediately prior to its acquisition by
the Company, net of tax, as recognized within "Equity (earnings)
loss of Kansas City Southern" in the Company's Interim Consolidated
Statements of Income. All assets subject to KCS purchase accounting
contribute to income generation and will continue to amortize over
their estimated useful lives. Excluding KCS purchase accounting
from GAAP results provides financial statement users with
additional transparency by isolating for the impact of KCS purchase
accounting.
Reconciliation of GAAP Performance Measures to Non-GAAP
Performance Measures
The following tables reconcile the most directly comparable
measures presented in accordance with GAAP to the Non-GAAP
measures:
Core Adjusted Combined Diluted Earnings per Share
Core adjusted combined diluted earnings per share is calculated
using Net income attributable to controlling shareholders reported
on a GAAP basis adjusted for significant items less KCS purchase
accounting, divided by the weighted-average diluted number of
Common Shares outstanding during the period as determined in
accordance with GAAP. Between December 14, 2021 to
April 13, 2023, KCS was accounted for in CPKC's diluted
earnings per share reported on a GAAP basis using the equity method
of accounting and on a consolidated basis beginning April 14,
2023. As the equity method of accounting and consolidation both
provide the same diluted earnings per share for CPKC, no adjustment
is required to pre-control diluted earnings per share to be
comparable on a consolidated basis.
In the first nine months of 2023, there were six significant
items included in the Net income attributable to controlling
shareholders as reported on a GAAP basis as follows:
- In the third quarter, a total current tax expense of
$15 million related to a tax
settlement with the SAT of $9 million
and a reserve for the estimated impact of potential future audit
settlements of $6 million that
unfavourably impacted Diluted EPS by 2
cents;
- in the second quarter, a remeasurement loss of KCS of
$7,175 million recognized in
Remeasurement loss of Kansas City Southern due to the derecognition
of CPKC's previously held equity method investment in KCS and
remeasurement at its Control Date fair value that unfavourably
impacted Diluted EPS by $7.68;
- Deferred tax recovery of $65
million that favourably impacted Diluted EPS by 6 cents as follows:
- In the third quarter, a deferred tax recovery of $14 million due to decreases in the Iowa and Arkansas state tax rates that favourably
impacted Diluted EPS by 2 cents;
and
- In the second quarter, a deferred tax recovery of $51 million due to CPKC unitary state
apportionment changes that favourably impacted Diluted EPS by
5 cents;
- Deferred tax recovery of $7,855
million that favourably impacted Diluted EPS by $8.42 as follows:
- In the second quarter, a deferred tax recovery of $7,832 million related to the elimination of the
deferred tax liability on the outside basis difference of the
investment in KCS that favourably impacted Diluted EPS by
$8.39; and
- In the first quarter, a deferred tax recovery of $23 million on changes in the outside basis
difference of the equity investment in KCS that favourably impacted
Diluted EPS by 3 cents;
- acquisition-related costs of $169
million in connection with the KCS acquisition ($140 million after current tax recovery of
$29 million), including an expense of
$64 million recognized in
"Compensation and benefits", $1
million recognized in "Materials", $87 million recognized in "Purchased services and
other", $6 million recognized in
"Other expense", and $11 million
recognized in "Equity earnings of KCS", that unfavourably impacted
Diluted EPS by 15 cents as follows:
- in the third quarter, acquisition-related costs of $24 million ($18
million after current tax recovery of $6 million), including costs of $1 million recognized in "Compensation and
benefits", $1 million recognized in
"Materials", and $22 million
recognized in "Purchased services and other", that unfavourably
impacted Diluted EPS by 2 cents;
- in the second quarter, acquisition-related costs of
$120 million ($101 million after current tax recovery of
$19 million), including costs of
$63 million recognized in
"Compensation and benefits", $53
million recognized in "Purchased services and other",
$3 million recognized in "Other
expense", and $1 million recognized
in "Equity earnings of KCS", that unfavourably impacted Diluted EPS
by 11 cents; and
- in the first quarter, acquisition-related costs of $25 million ($21
million after current tax recovery of $4 million), including costs of $12 million recognized in "Purchased services and
other", $3 million recognized in
"Other expense", and $10 million
recognized in "Equity earnings of KCS", that unfavourably impacted
Diluted EPS by 2 cents.
In 2022, there were five significant items included in Net
income attributable to controlling shareholders as reported on
a GAAP basis as follows:
- in the fourth quarter, a gain of $212
million due to KCS's gain on unwinding of interest rate
hedges (net of CPKC's associated purchase accounting basis
differences and tax) recognized in "Equity earnings of KCS" that
favourably impacted Diluted EPS by 23
cents;
- in the fourth quarter, a deferred tax recovery of $24 million as a result of a reversal of an
uncertain tax item related to a prior period that favourably
impacted Diluted EPS by 3 cents;
- in the third quarter, a deferred tax recovery of $12 million due to a decrease in the Iowa state tax rate that favourably impacted
Diluted EPS by 1 cent;
- during the course of the year, a net deferred tax recovery of
$19 million on changes in the outside
basis difference of the equity investment in KCS that favourably
impacted Diluted EPS by 2 cents as
follows:
- in the fourth quarter, a $27
million recovery that favourably impacted Diluted EPS by
3 cents;
- in the third quarter, a $9
million recovery that favourably impacted Diluted EPS by

KCS" that unfavourably impacted Diluted EPS by 12 cents as follows:
- in the fourth quarter, acquisition-related costs of
$27 million ($16 million after current tax recovery of
$11 million), including costs of
$17 million recognized in "Purchased
services and other" and $10 million
recognized in "Equity earnings of KCS" that unfavourably
impacted Diluted EPS by 3 cents;
- in the third quarter, acquisition-related costs of $30 million ($33

The tax effect of
adjustments was calculated as the pre-tax effect of the significant
items and KCS purchase accounting listed above multiplied by the
applicable tax rate for the above items of 26.55% and 0.97% for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively,
2.87% and 1.94% for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2022, respectively, and 16.97% for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2022. The applicable tax rates reflect the taxable
jurisdictions and nature, being on account of capital or income, of
the adjustments.

The Company previously
used the non-GAAP measure Core adjusted diluted earnings per share,
which was calculated as diluted earnings per share adjusted for
significant items less KCS purchase accounting. Core adjusted
diluted earnings per share was $1.01 and $2.63 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $3.77 for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, which are the same as
the revised measure Core adjusted combined diluted earnings per
share, as KCS was equity accounted for within CPKC's
results.

Core Adjusted Combined Operating Ratio
Core adjusted combined operating ratio is calculated from
reported GAAP revenue and operating expenses adjusted for (1) KCS
operating income prior to the Control Date and giving effect to
transaction accounting adjustments in a consistent manner with
Regulation S-X Article 11 ("Article 11"), where applicable, (2)
significant items (acquisition-related costs) that are reported
within Operating income, and (3) KCS purchase accounting recognized
in Depreciation and amortization.
This combined measure does not purport to represent what the
actual consolidated results of operations would have been had the
Company obtained control of KCS and consolidation actually occurred
on January 1, 2022, nor is it
indicative of future results. This information is based on
information as of the date hereof and upon assumptions that CPKC
believes reasonably reflect the impact to CPKC's historical
financial information, on a supplemental basis, of obtaining
control of KCS had it occurred as of January 1, 2022. This
information does not include anticipated costs related to
integration activities, cost savings or synergies that may be
achieved by the combined company.
In the first nine months of 2023, acquisition-related costs were
$165 million in connection with the
KCS acquisition including costs of $75
million recognized in "Compensation and benefits",
$1 million recognized in "Materials",
and $89 million recognized in
"Purchased services and other", that unfavourably impacted
operating ratio on a combined basis, calculated in a manner
consistent with Article 11, by 1.6%:
- in the third quarter, acquisition-related costs of $24 million including costs of $1 million recognized in "Compensation and
benefits", $1 million recognized in
"Materials", and $22 million
recognized in "Purchased services and other", that unfavourably
impacted operating ratio by 0.8%;
- in the second quarter, acquisition-related costs of
$116 million including costs of
$63 million recognized in
"Compensation and benefits", and $53
million recognized in "Purchased services and other", that
unfavourably impacted operating ratio by 3.5%; and
- in the first quarter, acquisition-related costs of $25 million including costs of $11 million recognized in "Compensation and
benefits", and $14 million recognized
in "Purchased services and other", that unfavourably impacted
operating ratio by 0.7%.
In the first nine months of 2022, acquisition-related costs were
$137 million in connection with the
KCS acquisition including costs of $43
million recognized in "Compensation and benefits" and
$94 million recognized in "Purchased
services and other", that unfavourably impacted operating ratio on
a combined basis, calculated in a manner consistent with Article
11, by 1.4%:
- in the third quarter, acquisition-related costs of $33 million including costs of $14 million recognized in "Compensation and
benefits", and $19 million recognized
in "Purchased services and other", that unfavourably impacted
operating ratio by 0.8%;
- in the second quarter, acquisition-related costs of
$35 million including costs of
$14 million recognized in
"Compensation and benefits", and $21
million recognized in "Purchased services and other", that
unfavourably impacted operating ratio by 1.1%; and
- in the first quarter, acquisition-related costs of $69 million including costs of $15 million recognized in "Compensation and
benefits", and $54 million recognized
in "Purchased services and other", that unfavourably impacted
operating ratio by 2.5%.
KCS purchase accounting included in operating ratio on a
combined basis, calculated in a manner consistent with Article 11,
was as follows:
2023:
- during the first nine months ended September 30, 2023, KCS purchase accounting of
$241 million recognized in
"Depreciation and amortization" that unfavourably impacted
operating ratio by 2.4% as follows:
- in the third quarter, KCS purchase accounting of $81 million that unfavourably impacted operating
ratio by 2.4%;
- In the second quarter, KCS purchase accounting of $80 million that unfavourably impacted operating
ratio by 2.4%; and
- In the first quarter, KCS purchase accounting of $80 million that unfavourably impacted operating
ratio by 2.3%.
2022:
- during the first nine months ended September 30, 2022, KCS purchase accounting of
$230 million recognized in
"Depreciation and amortization" that unfavourably impacted
operating ratio by 2.4% as follows:
- in the third quarter, KCS purchase accounting of $78 million that unfavourably impacted operating
ratio by 2.3%;
- in the second quarter, KCS purchase accounting of $76 million that unfavourably impacted operating
ratio by 2.3%; and
- in the first quarter, KCS purchase accounting of $76 million that unfavourably impacted operating
ratio by 2.7%.

The Company previously
used the non-GAAP measure Adjusted operating ratio, which was
defined as operating ratio excluding those significant items that
are reported within Operating income. Adjusted operating ratio was
58.7% and 62.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2022, respectively, which was changed to the revised measure Core
adjusted combined operating ratio. The differences were due to the
addition of KCS historical operating income less KCS
acquisition-related costs (as defined above) prior to the Control
Date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, CPKC
has presented the non-GAAP measure of Core adjusted combined
operating ratio, as defined above, to provide a comparison to prior
period combined information calculated in a manner consistent with
Article 11 as further adjusted to conform to CPKC's core adjusted
measures.
