CANADIAN PACIFIC ANNOUNCES 2010 RESULTS
CALGARY — Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (TSX/NYSE: CP) announced its fourth-quarter and full-year 2010 results today. Revenue in the fourth-quarter increased 13 per cent with gains across all lines of business. Reported net income in the fourth-quarter was $186 million, an increase of 27 per cent and diluted earnings per share was $1.09 for the quarter and $3.85 for the full year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.12 for the quarter and $3.87 for the full year.
“Fourth quarter saw double digit revenue growth, a continuation of our year-to-date trend,” said Fred Green, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered an improvement in our operating ratio by staying focused on three priorities: safety, asset velocity, and productivity. During the year we once again improved our industry leading train safety performance, a great accomplishment while moving a significant increase in volumes.”
FOURTH-QUARTER 2010 RESULTS
    Total revenues increased 13 per cent to $1.3 billion
 
    Adjusted operating income increased 34 per cent to $298 million
 
    Adjusted operating ratio improved 360 basis points to 77.0 per cent
 
    Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 51 per cent to $1.12 per share
FULL YEAR 2010 RESULTS
    Total revenues increased 13 per cent to $5.0 billion
 
    Adjusted operating income increased 39 per cent to $1.1 billion
 
    Adjusted operating ratio improved 410 basis points to 77.6 per cent
 
    Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 54 per cent to $3.87 per share
 
    Made a pension prepayment of $650 million and reduced long-term debt by approximately $250 million
 
    Increased the current dividend rate by 9% to $1.08 per share
“We continue to see strong demand for rail service across all lines of business,” added Fred Green. “We are ramping up our resources and making long-term investments in our company to meet growing demand, further improve customer service, and achieve our three to five year target of a low 70’s operating ratio.”

2011 ASSUMPTIONS
The 2011 defined benefit pension contributions are currently estimated to be between $100 million to $125 million, lower than our previous estimates of $150 million to $200 million. Defined benefit pension contributions for 2012 to 2015 are estimated to be between $125 million to $175 million. The contribution levels reflect the Company’s intention with respect to application of voluntary prepayments. Defined benefit pension expenses in 2011 are expected to be $46 million up from $36 million in 2010.
CP plans to spend in the range of $950 million to $1.05 billion on capital programs in 2011, as announced on January 12, 2011.
CP expects its tax rate to be in the 24 per cent to 26 per cent range in 2011.
Presentation of non-GAAP earnings measures
CP presents non-GAAP earnings measures in this news release to provide an additional basis for evaluating underlying earnings and liquidity trends in its business that can be compared with prior periods’ results of operations. Income, diluted earnings per share, operating expense and operating ratio, excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items, are referred to in this news release as “Adjusted earnings”, “Adjusted diluted earnings per share”, “Adjusted operating expense” and “Adjusted operating ratio”.
When foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items are excluded from diluted earnings per share, income and income tax expense, these are non-GAAP measures.
These non-GAAP earnings measures exclude foreign currency translation effects on long-term debt, and related income taxes, which can be volatile and short term. The impact of volatile short-term rate fluctuations on foreign-denominated debt is only realized when long-term debt matures or is settled. Other specified items are material transactions that may include, but are not limited to, restructuring and asset impairment charges, gains and losses on non-routine sales of assets, unusual income tax adjustments, and other items that do not typify normal business activities. A reconciliation of income, excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items, to net income as presented in the financial statements is detailed in the attached Summary of Rail Data. In addition, these non-GAAP measures exclude other specified items (described below) that are not a part of CP’s normal ongoing revenues and operating expenses.
The non-GAAP earnings measures described in this news release have no standardized meanings and are not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAIN AND LOSS ON LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER SPECIFIED ITEMS
In fourth-quarter 2009, CP recorded a loss of $38 million after tax charge on the early termination of a shortline railway contract. As well, a tax rate change and an income tax settlement related to a prior year resulted in a net benefit of $56 million.
For the full year 2009, in addition to the other specified items noted above, there was a $69 million after tax gain on the sale of a partnership interest and a $68 million after tax gain on the

2


 

sale of significant real estate. CP also had a gain on long-term floating rate notes of $5 million after tax, compared to a gain of $2 million after tax, recorded for full year 2010.
CP had a net foreign exchange loss after tax of $5 million on long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with a gain of $3 million after tax in fourth-quarter 2009.
For the full year 2010, CP had a net foreign exchange loss on long-term debt of $6 million, compared with a net foreign exchange loss of $28 million after tax for the full year 2009.
As part of a consolidated financing strategy, CP structures its U.S. dollar long-term debt in different taxing jurisdictions. As well, a portion of this debt is designated as a net investment hedge against our net investment in foreign subsidiaries. Although the taxes on foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt generally offset one another, because they may be in different tax jurisdictions, the resulting net tax can vary significantly.
CP began reporting its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP as of January 1, 2010. All prior period comparative numbers contained in this release conform to U.S. GAAP. Additional historical U.S. GAAP financial reports can be found at www.cpr.ca.
Note on forward-looking information
This news release contains certain forward-looking statements relating but not limited to our operations, anticipated financial performance and business prospects, including statements relating to our target operating ratio, and expected 2011 pension expenses, capital programs and tax rate. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information as actual results may differ materially.
By its nature, CP’s forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following factors: changes in business strategies; general North American and global economic, credit and business conditions; risks in agricultural production such as weather conditions and insect populations; the availability and price of energy commodities; the effects of competition and pricing pressures; industry capacity; shifts in market demand; changes in laws and regulations, including regulation of rates; changes in taxes and tax rates; potential increases in maintenance and operating costs; uncertainties of litigation; labour disputes; risks and liabilities arising from derailments; transportation of dangerous goods, timing of completion of capital and maintenance projects; currency and interest rate fluctuations; effects of changes in market conditions and discount rates on the financial position of pension plans and investments, including long-term floating rate notes; and various events that could disrupt operations, including severe weather conditions, security threats and governmental response to them, and technological changes.
Except as required by law, CP undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY LIMITED
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
December 31, 2010
(unaudited)
1   Basis of presentation
    These unaudited consolidated financial statements of Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (“CP”, “the Company” or “Canadian Pacific Railway”) reflect management’s estimates and assumptions that are necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). They do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2009 U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements. The policies used are consistent with the policies used in preparing the 2009 U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements, except as discussed in Note 2. The Company’s investments in which CP has significant influence, which are not consolidated, are accounted for using the equity method.
 
    CP’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. The irregular pace of the recovery in 2010 from the global recession has affected financial results such that seasonal fluctuations may not be consistent with those in prior years. The timing of a return to seasonal trends consistent with years prior to 2009 will depend on the continued recovery of the economy and the related impact on the Company’s customers.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Amendments to Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The guidance retains the scope of the previous guidance and removes the exemption of entities previously considered qualifying special purpose entities. In addition, it replaces the previous quantitative approach with a qualitative analysis approach for determining whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The guidance is further amended to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The guidance is applicable to all variable interest entities that existed at January 1, 2010, the date of adoption, or are created thereafter. The Company has variable interests in variable interest entities, however, the adoption of the new guidance did not change the previous assessment that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and as such does not consolidate the variable interest entities.
 
    Accounting for transfers of financial assets
The FASB has released additional guidance with respect to the accounting and disclosure of transfers of financial assets such as securitized accounts receivable. Although the Company currently does not have an accounts receivable securitization program, the guidance, which includes revisions to the derecognition criteria in a transfer and the treatment of qualifying special purpose entities, would be applicable to any future securitization. The new guidance is effective for the Company from January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance had no impact to the Company’s financial statements.
 
    Fair value measurement and disclosure
In January 2010, the FASB amended the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The update provides for new disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 financial asset and liability categories and expanded disclosures in the Level 3 reconciliation. The update also provides clarification that the level of disaggregation should be at the class level and that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques are required for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. New disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the expanded disclosures in the Level 3 reconciliation, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.

    Rail grinding
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company changed its accounting policy for the treatment of rail grinding costs. In prior periods, CP had capitalized such costs and depreciated them over the expected economic life of the rail grinding. The Company concluded that, although the accounting treatment was within acceptable accounting standards, it is preferable to expense the costs as incurred, given the subjectivity in determining the expected economic life and the associated depreciation methodology. The accounting policy change has been accounted for on a retrospective basis. The effects of the adjustment to January 1, 2010 resulted in an adjustment to decrease net properties by $89.0 million, deferred income taxes by $26.3 million, and shareholders equity by $62.7 million. As a result of the change the following increases (decreases) to financial statement line items occurred:

3   Pensions and other benefits
    In the third quarter of 2010, at the Company’s option, a $650 million prepayment to the Company’s main Canadian defined benefit pension plan was made.
 
    During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company chose to accelerate funding of future pension obligations through a voluntary prepayment of approximately $500 million to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans.
 
    The Company’s annual actuarial valuation of its pension and post-retirement benefit plan assets and obligations was completed at December 31, 2010. As a result of lower discount rates at December 31, 2010, pension and post-retirement benefit liabilities increased by $547.8 million, other comprehensive income was reduced by $407.6 million and the Company’s deferred tax liability was reduced by $140.2 million.
4   Reclassification of comparative figures
    Certain comparative figures have been reclassified in order to be consistent with the 2010 presentation.
