CANADIAN
PACIFIC RAILWAY ANNOUNCES A STRONG THIRD QUARTER
CALGARY Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX/NYSE: CP) announced today third-quarter net income of
$162 million. Net income was lower in 2006 by $42 million when compared to the same period in 2005
due primarily to the impact of foreign exchange on long-term debt and a one-time special reduction
to an accrual taken in third-quarter 2005.
I am very pleased with our results, said Fred Green, CPR President and CEO. CPR has delivered
growth of 26 per cent in normalized diluted earnings per share and an improved operating ratio of
74.2 per cent. We achieved this while significantly improving the safety of our train operations.
Our operating metrics, which measure how well our railroad is running, are excellent and show that
our scheduled railroad strategy is driving us closer to our goal of being the safest and most fluid
railway in North America.
SUMMARY OF THIRD-QUARTER 2006 COMPARED WITH 2005
Excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items:
|
Ø |
|
Income was $168 million, up 24 per cent. |
|
|
Ø |
|
Diluted earnings per share was $1.06, an increase of 26 per cent from $0.84. |
|
|
Ø |
|
Operating ratio improved 320 basis points to 74.2 per cent. |
|
|
Ø |
|
Operating expenses were virtually flat at $854 million despite increases in fuel costs. |
In the third quarter, total freight revenues improved by 4 per cent to $1,122 million, with growth
in grain of 18 per cent; industrial and consumer products of 13 per cent; sulphur and fertilizers
of 10 per cent; and intermodal of 8 per cent. This growth more than offset a sharp decrease in
coal revenues of 25 per cent.
SUMMARY OF FIRST NINE MONTHS 2006 COMPARED WITH 2005
For the first nine months of 2006, net income was $650 million, an improvement of 60 per cent over
2005 which included a $176-million reduction in future income tax expense.
Excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt, the $176 million income tax
benefit and the other specified item:
|
Ø |
|
Income was $446 million, an increase of $87 million over 2005. |
|
|
Ø |
|
Diluted earnings per share increased 25 per cent to $2.79. |
|
|
Ø |
|
Operating ratio improved 210 basis points to 76.2 per cent. |
|
|
Ø |
|
Total freight revenues were up 4 per cent, despite ongoing market softness in coal,
driven by a 21 per cent increase in grain and a 15 per cent increase in industrial and
consumer products. |
|
|
Ø |
|
Operating expenses, excluding the impact of higher fuel prices, decreased 2 per cent in
2006 over 2005. |

2006 OUTLOOK
CPRs current outlook for diluted earnings per share in 2006 is in the range of $3.60 to $3.85,
excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items, including
specifically the $176 million income tax benefit due to the rate reduction in the second quarter.
Based on current trends, it is possible that we will exceed the top end of this guidance range by
up to $0.10.
The full year outlook assumes oil prices averaging US$67 per barrel and an average exchange rate of
$1.13 per U.S. dollar (US$0.89). This is a revision to our previous assumption of oil prices
averaging US$70 per barrel. CPR expects to grow revenue in the range of 5 per cent to 8 per cent
and expenses are expected to increase by 3 per cent to 6 per cent in 2006. Capital investment is
anticipated to be between $810 million and $825 million in 2006 and free cash is expected to exceed
$200 million for the year.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAINS AND LOSSES ON LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER SPECIFIED ITEMS
CPR had a foreign exchange loss on long-term debt of $2 million ($6 million after tax) in the third
quarter of 2006, compared with a gain of $65 million ($48 million after tax) in the same period of
2005. There were no other specified items in the third quarter of 2006. In the third quarter of
2005 there was one other specified item, as CPR booked a special credit of $34 million ($21 million
after tax) which was a reduction of a special charge for environmental remediation of $90.9 million
($55 million after tax) taken in fourth-quarter 2004 for environmental remediation of a property in
the United States. The reduction reflected a settlement of litigation related to remediation of
environmental contamination.
In the first nine months of 2006, CPR had a foreign exchange gain on long-term debt of $45 million
($28 million after tax), compared with a gain of $45 million ($27 million after tax) in the first
nine months of 2005. There was a future income tax benefit of $176 million as a result of a
decrease in Canadian federal and provincial income tax rates that occurred in the second quarter of
2006. There were no other specified items in the first nine months of 2005 other than the
environmental accrual reduction mentioned above.
Presentation of non-GAAP earnings
CPR presents non-GAAP earnings in this news release to provide a basis for evaluating underlying
earnings trends in our business that can be compared with prior periods results of operations.
These non-GAAP earnings exclude foreign currency translation effects on long-term debt, which can
be volatile and short term, and other specified items, which are not among CPRs normal ongoing
revenues and operating expenses. The impact of volatile short-term rate fluctuations on
foreign-denominated debt is only realized when long-term debt matures or is settled. 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 the third quarter of 2006, there were foreign exchange losses on
long-term debt and no other specified items. In the first nine months of 2006 there were foreign
exchange gains on long-term debt and one other specified item.
Earnings that exclude foreign exchange currency translation effects on long-term debt and other
specified items, as described in this news release, have no standardized meanings and are not
defined by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and, therefore, are unlikely to be
comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

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. Undue reliance should not be

uncertainties, including but not limited to the following factors: changes in business strategies;
general global economic and business conditions; risks in agricultural production such as weather
conditions and insect populations; fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the
U.S. dollar; 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;
changes in taxes and tax rates; potential increases in maintenance and operating costs;
uncertainties of litigation; labour disputes; timing of completion of capital and maintenance
projects; interest rate fluctuations; effects of changes in market conditions on the financial
position of pension plans; and various events that could disrupt operations, including severe
weather conditions, security threats and governmental response to them, and technological changes.
There are factors that could cause actual results to differ from those described in the
forward-looking statements contained in this news release. These more specific factors are
identified and discussed in the Outlook section and elsewhere in this news release with the

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
(unaudited)
1 |
|
Basis of presentation |
|
|
|
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared using
accounting policies that are consistent with the policies used in preparing Canadian Pacific
Railway Limiteds (CPR, the Company or Canadian Pacific Railway) 2005 annual
consolidated financial statements. They do not include all disclosures required under
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for annual financial statements and should be read
in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements. |
|
|
|
Quarterly seasonality is not considered to be significant. Earnings in the first quarter
are slightly lower due to winter operating conditions and fourth quarter earnings are
slightly higher due to movement of the fall harvest. |
|
2 |
|
New accounting policy |
|
|
|
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the CICA Accounting Standard Section 3831
Non-Monetary Transactions. This standard is applied prospectively to non-monetary
transactions occurring on or after that date. The standard requires that assets or
liabilities exchanged or transferred in a non-monetary transaction that has commercial
substance be valued at fair value with any gain or loss recorded in income. Commercial
substance exists when, as a result of the transaction, there is a significant change to
future cash flows of the item transferred or the company as a whole. Transactions that lack
commercial substance or for which the fair value of the exchanged assets cannot be reliably
measured will continue to be accounted for at carrying value. There was no impact to CPR on
adoption of this new standard as it is applied prospectively. |
|

|
Future accounting changes |
|
|
|
Financial Instruments, Hedging and Other Comprehensive Income |
|
|
|
The CICA issued the following accounting standards effective for fiscal years beginning on
or after October 1, 2006: Accounting Standard Section 3855 Financial Instruments,
Recognition and Measurement, Accounting Standard Section 3861 Financial Instruments,
Presentation and Disclosure, Accounting Standard Section 3865 Hedging and Accounting
Standard Section 1530 Comprehensive income. These sections require certain financial
instruments and hedge positions to be recorded at their fair value. They also introduce the
concept of comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income. |
|
|
|
Financial instruments designated as held-for-trading and available-for-sale, as well as
guarantees, will be carried at their fair value while financial instruments such as loans
and receivables and those classified as held-to-maturity will be carried at their
amortized cost. All derivatives will be carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their
fair value, including derivatives designated as hedges. The effective portion of unrealized
gains and losses on cash flow and net investment hedges and the cumulative foreign currency
translation adjustments arising from investments in foreign operations will be carried in
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, a component of Shareholders Equity (on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet), with any ineffective portions of gains and losses on hedges
taken into income immediately. Adoption of these standards will be effective from January
1, 2007 on a prospective basis without retroactive restatement of prior periods. The impact
of adoption cannot be reasonably estimated as the fair value of the Companys financial
instruments including derivatives designated as hedges will not be readily available until
the end of the year. However, it is not expected to have a material impact on net income. |

Stock-Based Compensation for Employees Eligible to Retire Before the Vesting Date |
|
|
|
The Emerging Issues Committee of the CICA issued Emerging Issues Committee Abstract (EIC
162) Stock-Based Compensation for Employees Eligible to Retire Before the Vesting Date in
July 2006. This pronouncement will be effective for the Company commencing January 1, 2007
and will be applied retroactively with restatement. The compensation cost attributable to
stock-based awards should be recognized over the period from the grant date to the date the
employee becomes eligible to retire when this is shorter than the vesting period. It is
not anticipated that the adoption of EIC 162 will have a material impact on the Company. |

|
Special credit for environmental remediation |
|
|
|
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, a settlement was
reached with a responsible party in relation to portions of past
environmental contamination at a CPR-owned property in the U.S. As a
result, CPR was able to reduce accrued liabilities related to the
property, and recognized a total reduction of $33.9 million to a
special charge for environmental remediation recorded in 2004. |

Income tax expense |
|
|
|
In the three months ended June 30, 2006, federal and provincial legislation was introduced to
reduce corporate income tax rates over a period of several years. As a result of these
changes, the Company recorded a $176.0 million benefit in future tax liability and income tax
expense in the three months ended June 30, 2006. |
|
|
|
Cash taxes paid for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $21.1 million (three months
ended September 30, 2005 $0.8 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was
$26.6 million (nine months ended September 30, 2005 $6.7 million). |
|

|
Earnings per share |
|
|
|
At September 30, 2006, the number of shares outstanding was 155.9 million (September 30,
2005 157.3 million). |
|
|
|
Basic earnings per share have been calculated using net income for the period divided by the
weighted average number of CPR shares outstanding during the period. |
|
|
|
Diluted earnings per share have been calculated using the treasury stock method, which gives
effect to the dilutive value of outstanding options. |
|
|
|
The number of shares used in earnings per share calculations is reconciled as follows: |

because their effects were not dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
501,717 options (nine months ended September 30, 2005 no options) were excluded from the

In June 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Common Shares under the previous
normal course issuer bid and filed a new normal course issuer bid to purchase, for
cancellation, of up to 3.9 million of its outstanding Common Shares. Under the new filing,
share purchases may be made during the 12-month period that began June 6, 2006, and ends
June 5, 2007. The purchases are made at the market price on the day of purchase, with
consideration allocated to share capital up to the average carrying amount of the shares,
and any excess allocated to contributed surplus. When shares are repurchased, it takes
three days before the transaction is settled and the shares are cancelled. The cost of
shares purchased in a given month and settled in the following month is accrued in the month
of purchase. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, 1.4 million shares were
repurchased at an average price of $53.85 (three months ended September 30, 2005 1.4
million shares were repurchased at an average price of $46.49) and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, 4.1 million shares were repurchased at an average price of $55.93 (nine
months ended September 30, 2005 1.8 million shares were repurchased at an average price of
$45.77) . |

Restructuring and environmental remediation |
|
|
|
At September 30, 2006, the provision for restructuring and environmental remediation was
$331.6 million (December 31, 2005 $398.8 million). This provision primarily includes
labour liabilities for restructuring plans. Payments are expected to continue in
diminishing amounts until 2025. The environmental remediation liability includes the cost
of a multi-year soil remediation program. |

Stock-based compensation |
|
|
|
In 2006, under CPRs stock option plans, the Company issued 1,446,300 options to purchase
Common Shares at the weighted average price of $57.72 per share, based on the closing price
on the day prior to the grant date. In tandem with these options, 499,050 stock
appreciation rights were issued at the weighted average exercise price of $57.72. Also, all
30,000 unvested Restricted Share Units, issued in 2005, were cancelled. |
|
|
|
Pursuant to the employee plan, options may be exercised upon vesting, which for most is
between 24 months and 36 months after the grant date, and will expire after 10 years. Some
options vest after 48 months, unless certain performance targets are achieved, in which case
vesting is accelerated. These options expire five years after the grant date. |

Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period for stock options issued since
January 1, 2003, based on their estimated fair values on the date of grants, as determined
by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Had CPR used the fair value method for options
granted between January 1, 2002, and December 31, 2002, CPRs pro forma basis net income and
earnings per share would have been as follows: |

Total Return Swap |
|
|
|
The Company entered into a Total Return Swap (TRS), effective in May 2006, in order to
reduce the volatility and total cost to the Company over time of two stock based
compensation programs, share appreciation rights (SAR) and deferred share units (DSU).
The value of the TRS derivative is linked to the market value of our stock and is intended
to mitigate the impact on expenses of share value movements on SARs and DSUs. Compensation
and Benefits expense increased by $3.7 million and $12 million in the first three months
and first nine months of 2006, respectively, due to unrealized losses for these swaps.
These losses substantially offset benefits recognized in the SAR and DSU stock based
compensation programs due to fluctuations in share price during the period the TRS was in
place. |
|

|
Pensions and other benefits |
|
|
|
The total current charges for pension and other benefits for the Companys defined benefit
pension plans, defined contribution pension plans and post-retirement benefits for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, was $29.9 million (three months ended September 30, 2005
$21.0 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was $91.1 million (nine
months ended September 30, 2005 $62.4 million). |
|

|
Significant customers |
|
|
|
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, one customer comprised 11.7% of total
revenue (nine months ended September 30, 2005 14.8%). At September 30, 2006, one customer
represented 5.3% of total accounts receivable (September 30, 2005 7.6%). |

Commitments and contingencies |
|
|
|
In the normal course of its operations, the Company becomes involved in various legal
actions, including claims relating to injuries and damages 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, 2006, cannot be predicted
with certainty, it is the opinion of management that their resolution will not have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations. |
|
|
|
Capital commitments |
|
|
|
At September 30, 2006, CPR had multi-year capital commitments of $577.9 million, mainly for
locomotive overhaul agreements, in the form of signed contracts. Payments for these
commitments are due in 2006 through 2016. |
|
|
|
Operating lease commitments |
|
|
|
At September 30, 2006, minimum payments under operating leases were estimated at $634.5
million in aggregate, with annual payments in each of the next five years of: remainder of
2006 $38.0 million; 2007 $122.7 million; 2008 $93.2 million; 2009 $67.3 million;
2010 $52.9 million. |
|
|
|
Guarantees |
|
|
|
The Company had residual value guarantees on operating lease commitments of $257.2 million
at September 30, 2006. The maximum amount that could be payable under these and all of the
Companys other guarantees cannot be reasonably estimated due to the nature of certain of
the guarantees. All or a portion of amounts paid under certain guarantees could be
recoverable from other parties or through insurance. The Company has accrued for all
guarantees that it expects to pay. At September 30, 2006, these accruals amounted to $12.2
million. |

This Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) supplements the Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Except where
otherwise indicated, all financial information reflected herein is expressed in Canadian dollars.
All financial information has been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), except as described in the Non-GAAP Earnings section of this
MD&A.
October 24, 2006
In this MD&A, our, us, we, CPR and the Company refer to Canadian Pacific Railway Limited
and its subsidiaries. Other terms not defined in the body of this MD&A are defined in the Glossary
of Terms.
Business Profile
Canadian Pacific Railway Limited and its subsidiaries operate a transcontinental railway in Canada
and the United States and provide logistics and supply chain expertise. We provide rail and
intermodal transportation services over a network of approximately 13,500 miles, serving the
principal business centres of Canada from Montreal, Quebec, to Vancouver, British Columbia, and the
U.S. Northeast and Midwest regions. Our railway feeds directly into the U.S. heartland from the
East and West coasts. Agreements with other carriers extend our market reach east of Montreal in
Canada, throughout the U.S. and into Mexico. We transport bulk commodities, merchandise freight and
intermodal traffic. Bulk commodities include grain, coal, sulphur and fertilizers. Merchandise
freight consists of finished vehicles and automotive parts, as well as forest and industrial and
consumer products. Intermodal traffic consists largely of high-value, time-sensitive retail goods
transported in overseas containers that can be handled by train, ship and truck, and in domestic
containers and trailers that can be moved by train and truck.
Strategy
Our objective is to create long-term value for customers, shareholders and employees primarily by
profitably growing within the footprint of our core rail franchise. We seek to accomplish this
objective through the following three-part strategy:
|
i). |
|
generating quality revenue growth by realizing the benefits of demand growth in our
bulk, intermodal and merchandise business lines with targeted infrastructure capacity
investments linked to global trade opportunities; |
|
|
ii). |
|
improving productivity by leveraging strategic marketing and operating partnerships,
executing a scheduled railway through our Integrated Operating Plan, and driving more
value from existing assets and resources by improving fluidity; and |
|
|
iii). |
|
continuing to develop a dedicated, professional and knowledgeable workforce that is
committed to safety and sustainable financial performance through steady improvement in
profitability, increased free cash flow and a competitive return on investment. |
Additional Information
Additional information, including our Consolidated Financial Statements, MD&A, Annual Information
Form, press releases and other required filing documents, is
available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com in
Canada, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov in the U.S. and on our website at www.cpr.ca. The
aforementioned documents are issued and made available in accordance with legal requirements and
are not incorporated by reference into this MD&A.
Operating Results
i). Income
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006, was $161.7 million, down $41.9 million
from $203.6 million for the same period in 2005. Third-quarter 2006 results included an after-tax
foreign exchange loss of $5.9 million on long-term debt (LTD), compared with third-quarter 2005
when there was an after-tax gain of $48.1 million on long-term debt as well as a $20.6 million
after-tax special credit for environmental remediation. Excluding these items, income before FX on
LTD and other specified items was $167.6 million in third quarter 2006 compared to third quarter
2005 of $134.9 million, an increase of $32.7 million (see Non-GAAP Earnings discussion below).
Operating income for the third quarter of 2006 was $296.9 million, an increase of $13.6 million
from $283.3 million for the same period in 2005. Excluding the special credit for environmental
remediation in 2005, operating income for the third-quarter 2006 increased $47.5 million (see
Non-GAAP Earnings discussion below). The growth in operating income reflected higher revenues
due to increased freight rates and from cost-reduction programs, stemming in particular from
operational benefits produced by our Integrated Operating Plan (IOP) and restructuring (discussed
under the sub-headings Integrated Operating Plan and Restructuring in the section Future
Trends, Commitments and Risks) and co-production initiatives. These improvements were partially
offset by higher fuel cost and reduced volumes for coal and the net effect of the change in the
value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar (Foreign Exchange) on U.S.
dollar-denominated revenues and expenses.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was $650.2 million, up $242.7 million from
$407.5 million for the same period in 2005. Year-to-date 2006 results included a positive
adjustment of $176.0 million to income tax expense as a result of reduced income tax rates and an
after-tax foreign exchange gain of $28.2 million on long-term debt. Year-to-date 2005 results
included an after-tax foreign exchange gain of $27.4 million on long-term debt and a $20.6 million
after-tax special credit for environmental remediation. Excluding these items, income before FX on
LTD and other specified items was $446.0 million in the first nine months of 2006 compared to
$359.5 million for the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $86.5 million (see Non-GAAP
Earnings discussion below).
Operating income for the first nine months of 2006 was $807.9 million, an increase of $74.8 million
from $733.1 million for the same period in 2005. Excluding the special credit for environmental
remediation in 2005, operating income for the first nine
months of 2006 increased $108.7 million (see Non-GAAP Earnings discussion below). The growth was
primarily driven by the same factors responsible for the higher third-quarter operating income and
from a $17 million gain in the second-quarter 2006 from the sale of our Latta subdivision
(discussed further in the section Future Trends, Commitments and Risks). The growth in operating
income for the first nine months of 2006 was partially offset by a decrease in potash volumes
(discussed further in the Freight Revenues section) and an increase in depreciation and
amortization expense.
2
Fuel prices were significantly higher in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 than in
the same periods of 2005. We continued to take steps to mitigate the impact of high prices with
fuel surcharges and hedging. More than three-quarters of our fuel price increase was recovered as
a result of these programs.
ii). Diluted Earnings Per Share
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $1.02 in the third quarter, down $0.25 from $1.27 for the
same period of 2005. Diluted EPS excluding FX on LTD and other specified items for the quarter
was higher by $0.22 versus the third quarter in 2005 (see Non-GAAP Earnings discussion below).
Diluted EPS was $4.07 in the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $1.53, compared with $2.54
for the same period of 2005. Diluted EPS excluding FX on LTD and other specified items was $2.79
for the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $0.55 from the previous year (see Non-GAAP
Earnings discussion below). Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding stock
options, as calculated using the Treasury Stock Method. This method assumes options that have an
exercise price below the market price of the shares are exercised and the proceeds are used to
purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. There was a positive impact
on diluted EPS in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 resulting from a reduction in the
number of shares outstanding as shares were cancelled through our share repurchase plan under a
normal course issuer bid (discussed further in this MD&A under the sub-heading Share Capital in
the section Balance Sheet).
iii). Operating Ratio
The operating ratio was 74.2% in the third quarter of 2006, an improvement of 320 basis points
compared with 77.4% in the same period of 2005. The operating ratio improved 210 basis points to
76.2% in the first nine months of 2006, compared with 78.3% for the same period of 2005. The
operating ratio, which excludes other specified items (discussed further in this MD&A under the
sub-heading Other Specified Items), provides the percentage of revenues used to operate the
railway. A lower percentage normally indicates higher efficiency.

These earnings measures have no standardized meanings prescribed by Canadian GAAP and,
therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures of other companies. These earnings
measures and other specified items are described in the Non-GAAP Earnings section of this MD&A. |
Fluctuations in Foreign Exchange were significant year over year, as the Canadian dollar
strengthened against the U.S. dollar by approximately 8% in both the third quarter and first
nine months of 2006. The average foreign exchange rate for converting U.S. dollars to Canadian
dollars decreased to $1.12 in third-quarter 2006 and $1.13 in the first nine months of 2006,
compared with $1.21 and $1.23, respectively. The adjoining table shows the approximate effect of
the change in Foreign Exchange on our revenues and expenses, and income before foreign exchange
gains and losses on long-term debt (FX on LTD). This analysis does not include the effects of
the change in Foreign Exchange on balance sheet accounts or of foreign exchange hedging
activity.
On average, a $0.01 strengthening (or weakening) of the Canadian dollar reduces (or increases)
annual operating income by approximately
$3 million to $4 million. Foreign Exchange fluctuations reduced operating income by $8 million
in third-quarter 2006 and $26 million in the first nine months of 2006, compared with the same
periods of 2005, as illustrated in the adjoining table. From time to time, we use foreign
exchange forward contracts to partially hedge the effects on our business of Foreign Exchange
transaction gains and losses and other economic factors. In addition, we have designated a
portion of our U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt as a hedge of our net investment in
self-sustaining foreign subsidiaries. Our hedging instruments are discussed further in this MD&A
in the section Financial Instruments.

These earnings measures have no standardized meanings prescribed by Canadian GAAP and, therefore, are unlikely
to be comparable to similar measures of other companies. These earnings measures and other specified items are
described in this section of the MD&A. |
We present non-GAAP earnings and cash flow information in this MD&A to provide a basis for
evaluating underlying earnings and liquidity trends in our business that can be compared with
results of our operations in prior periods. These non-GAAP earnings exclude foreign currency
translation effects on long-term debt, which can be volatile and short term, and other specified
items that are not among our normal ongoing revenues and operating expenses. The adjoining table
details a reconciliation of income, before FX on LTD and other specified items, to net income, as
presented in the financial statements.
Earnings that exclude FX on LTD and other specified items, and free cash as described in this MD&A,
have no standardized meanings and are not defined by Canadian GAAP and, therefore, are unlikely to
be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Ø Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses on Long-Term Debt
Foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt arise mainly as a result of translating U.S.
dollar-denominated debt into Canadian dollars. Income before FX on LTD, disclosed in the table
above, excludes FX on LTD from our earnings in order to eliminate the impact of volatile short-term
exchange rate fluctuations. For every $0.01 the Canadian dollar strengthens (or weakens) relative
to the U.S. dollar, the conversion of U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt to Canadian dollars
creates a pre-tax foreign exchange gain (or loss) of approximately $10 million, net of hedging.
We calculate FX on LTD using the difference in foreign exchange rates at the beginning and at the
end of each reporting period. There were foreign exchange losses on long-term debt in the third
quarter of 2006 as the Canadian dollar weakened slightly relative to the U.S. dollar on September
30, 2006 (rate of $1.1177), compared with the rate on June 30, 2006 (rate of $1.1162). There were
foreign exchange gains on long-term debt in the first nine months of 2006 as the Canadian dollar
strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar on September 30, 2006 (rate of $1.1177), compared with the
rate of $1.1630 on December 31, 2005. There was a foreign exchange loss on long-term debt (before
tax) of $1.5 million in the third quarter and a foreign exchange gain (before tax) of $44.8
million in the first nine months of 2006, compared with pre-tax gains of $65.4 million and $45.3
million in the same periods of 2005, respectively. Income tax expense (or benefit) related to FX on
LTD capital gains is discussed further in this MD&A under the sub-heading Income Taxes in the
section Other Income Statement Items.
Ø Other Specified Items
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. The
other specified items in the first nine months of 2006 and 2005 were:
|
|
|
In the second quarter of 2006, the governments of Canada and the provinces of Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba introduced legislation to reduce corporate income tax rates over a
period of several years. We recorded a future income tax benefit of $176.0 million to
reflect the positive impact of these tax rate reductions on transactions in prior years for
which future taxes will be paid. |

|
|
|
As a result of a settlement agreement reached in the third quarter of 2005, we recognized
a reduction of $33.9 million to a special charge initially taken in the fourth quarter of
2004. As part of the settlement we received $3.6 million in cash and were able to reduce an
environmental remediation liability related to one of our properties by $30.3 million. |

Volumes in the third quarter of 2006 as measured by total carloads, decreased by 23 thousand, or
3%, while total revenue ton-miles (RTM) was slightly higher when compared with the same period
in 2005. Volumes in the first nine months of 2006, as measured by total carloads, decreased by 37
thousand, or 2%, while total RTMs decreased by 2,508 million, or 3%, compared with the same
period in 2005. RTMs increased in the current quarter despite a decline in carloads. This is due
to longer average hauls reflecting the increase in long-haul export potash and intermodal
traffic, a decrease in shorter haul traffic, and other changes in our overall traffic mix.
Carloads for the third quarter of 2006 were down compared with the same period in 2005 due to the
sale of the Latta subdivision (discussed further in the section Future Trends, Commitments and
Risks) and a decrease in our shipments of coal and forest products. The sale of the Latta
subdivision decreased carloads by approximately 13 thousand in the third quarter of 2006. The
decline was partially offset by strong grain movements and export potash volumes. A decline in
carloads for the first nine months of 2006 compared with the same period in 2005 also reflected
the sale of the Latta subdivision, which reduced carloads by approximately 19 thousand, as well
as decreases in shipments of coal, export potash and forest products. Shipments of export potash,
which were delayed in the first and second quarters of 2006 due to protracted global price
negotiations, rebounded in the third quarter with the resolution of those negotiations.
For the third quarter, gains in RTMs for grain, sulphur and fertilizers, industrial and consumer
products, and intermodal compared with the third quarter of 2005 were largely offset by decreases
in coal and forest products. For the first nine months of 2006, compared to the same period in
2005, gains in RTMs for grain, industrial and consumer products and intermodal were offset by
decreases in coal and in sulphur and fertilizers which was down year over year as a result of the
delayed export potash shipments referred to above.
Revenues
Our revenues are derived primarily from transporting freight. Other revenues are generated mainly
from leasing certain assets, switching fees, land sales and income from business partnerships.

Certain prior period figures have been reclassified to conform to presentation adopted in 2006. |
Freight Revenues
Freight revenues are earned from transporting bulk, merchandise and intermodal goods, and include
fuel surcharges billed to our customers.
Freight revenues grew $43.1 million, or 4%, in the third quarter of 2006, compared with
third-quarter 2005. Freight revenues increased $133.9 million, or 4%, in the first nine months of
2006, compared with the same period in 2005.
In the third quarter of 2006 freight rate increases in the majority of our business lines combined
with strong increases in grain volumes drove up freight revenue. Revenue in forest products and
automotive were maintained despite downward pressure on volume.
5
Offsetting these gains was a
negative Foreign Exchange impact of approximately $34 million and a reduction in coal revenue of
$46.9 million.
On a year-to-date basis revenue increases in grain, industrial and consumer products, automotive
and intermodal more than offset reductions in coal and sulphur and fertilizers in 2006, compared
with 2005. The increase was achieved despite the strengthening Canadian dollar which reduced
revenues by approximately $100 million during this period.
Fuel surcharges in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 and 2005 reflected price
increases for West Texas Intermediate (WTI), heating oil, and the retail and wholesale price of
diesel for vehicles. We recovered more than three-quarters of our fuel price increase in these
periods through fuel surcharges (which are included in freight revenues) and the benefits of
hedging.
At September 30, 2006, one customer comprised 11.7% of total year-to-date revenues and 5.3% of our
total accounts receivable. At September 30, 2005, one customer comprised 14.8% of total
year-to-date revenues and 7.6% of our total accounts receivable.
Ø Grain
Grain revenues for the third quarter of 2006 were $225.3 million, an increase of $34.5 million from
$190.8 million for the same period of 2005. Grain revenues for the first nine months of 2006 were
$643.0 million, an increase of $113.1 million from $529.9 million for the same period of 2005. The
increase was due to:
|
|
|
a strong Canadian grain crop reflecting improved quality; |
|
|
|
|
a large carryover from the 2005/06 crop year; |
|
|
|
|
increased shipments of Western Canadian grain to the United States as a result of a trade tariff being lifted; and |
|
|
|
|
higher freight rates. |
Increases in grain revenues were partially offset by the effect of the change in Foreign Exchange.
Ø Coal
Coal revenues in third-quarter 2006 were $139.0 million, a decrease of $46.9 million from $185.9
million for the same period of 2005. Coal revenues for the first nine months of 2006 were $442.7
million, a decrease of $107.5 million from $550.2 million for the first nine months of 2005.
The decline in coal revenues for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 was due to
reduced export coal sales by our primary coal customer, as well as the sale of our Latta
subdivision. The nine-month decline also reflected a one-time positive adjustment of $23 million in
2005 for services provided to our main coal customer in 2004.
Ø Sulphur and Fertilizers
Revenues from sulphur and fertilizers for the third quarter of 2006 were $118.7 million, an
increase of $10.4 million from $108.3 million for the same period of 2005. Revenues for the first
nine months of 2006 were $317.3 million, a decrease of $27.2 million from $344.5 million for the
same nine months of 2005.
Growth in the third-quarter revenues reflected the settlement of protracted global price
negotiations between buyers and sellers of export potash, which had significantly delayed shipments
until early in the quarter, partially offset by a decline in sulphur. The decline in revenues on a
year-to-date basis was due predominantly to the protracted potash price negotiations.
Ø Forest Products
Forest products revenues for third-quarter 2006 were $86.0 million, an increase of $0.1 million
from $85.9 million in third-quarter 2005. Revenues for the first nine months of 2006 were $245.2
million, a decrease of $7.9 million from $253.1 million for the same period of 2005.
Revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 declined due to:
|
|
|
a softening demand for lumber and panel caused by a decrease in United States housing starts; |
|
|
|
|
difficult market conditions for our forest product customers caused by a strong Canadian
dollar and recent softwood lumber trade negotiations which have lead to reduced volumes and plant shut downs; and |
|
|
|
|
Foreign Exchange impacts on our revenues. |
Offsetting these factors was our strong yield program, which reduced the impact from the volume
decline.
Ø Industrial and Consumer Products
Industrial and consumer products revenues for the third quarter of 2006 were $156.7 million, an
increase of $18.3 million from $138.4 million in the same period of 2005. Revenues for the first
nine months of 2006 were $455.3 million, an increase of $58.8 million from $396.5 million for the
same period of 2005. The increase was caused by:
|
|
|
strong demand for steel, energy products and aggregates, largely driven by Alberta oil
and gas activity and a strong Alberta economy; |
|
|
|
|
strong worldwide demand for base metals; and |
6
The higher revenues were partially offset by the effect of the change in Foreign Exchange.
Ø Automotive
Automotive revenues for third-quarter 2006 were $69.3 million, an increase of $1.7 million from
$67.6 million for the third quarter of 2005. Revenues for the first nine months of 2006 were
$239.5 million, an increase of $20.3 million from $219.2 million for the same period of 2005. The
increase was due primarily to higher freight rates and increased volumes of imported vehicles which
created growth in long-haul traffic. These increases were partially offset by the effect of the
change in Foreign Exchange.
Ø Intermodal
Intermodal revenues for the third quarter of 2006 were $327.2 million, an increase of $25.0 million
from $302.2 million in third-quarter 2005. Revenues for the first nine months of 2006 were $932.8
million, an increase of $84.3 million from $848.5 million for the first nine months of 2005.
For the first nine months of 2006 compared to 2005, international intermodal export revenues
increased as a result of higher freight rates and container volume growth at the ports of Vancouver
and Montreal driven by strong global trade. Revenue growth in domestic intermodal was due to
increased freight rates, volume and long haul traffic. These increases were partially offset by the
effect of Foreign Exchange.
Other Revenues
Other revenues for the third quarter of 2006 were $29.1 million, an increase of $3.5 million from
$25.6 million for third-quarter 2005. Other revenues for year-to-date 2006 were $117.0 million, an
increase of $34.2 million from $82.8 million for the same period of 2005. Other revenues increased
in the first nine months due to a gain of approximately $17 million realized from the sale of our
Latta subdivision (discussed further in the section Future Trends, Commitments and Risks). In
addition, revenue growth during the nine-month period reflected increased land sales, in
particular, the sale of a property to a university in Montreal.

Certain prior period figures have been reclassified to conform to presentation adopted in 2006. |
Freight revenue per carload increased $124, or 8%, in the third quarter of 2006 and $98 or 6% in
the first nine months of 2006, compared with the same periods of 2005.
The increase was due to higher freight rates, which more than offset the negative effect of Foreign
Exchange.

Safety
Indicators
Safety is a key priority for our management and Board of Directors. Our two main safety indicators
personal injuries and train accidents follow strict U.S. Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) reporting guidelines.
|
|
|
The FRA personal injury rate per 200,000 employee-hours was 2.0 in the third quarter
of 2006, a |
7
|
|
|
20% improvement over the same period of 2005. The rate was 1.9 for the first nine
months of 2006, a 21% improvement compared with the same period of 2005.
|
|
|
|
The FRA train accident rate was 0.7 per million train-miles in the third quarter of 2006,
a decrease of 73% over the same period of 2005. On a year-to-date basis, our train
accident rate improved 43% to 1.3. |
Efficiency and Other Indicators
|
|
|
Terminal dwell, the average time a freight car resides in a terminal, decreased 11% in the
third quarter of 2006 and 24% in the first nine months of 2006, compared with the same
periods of 2005. The improvement was largely due to minimizing the number of times freight
cars are handled, to better processes within our yards, and providing seven-day-a-week
outlets for all our traffic. Reducing the time freight cars spend waiting in terminals also
enabled us to decrease our fleet of cars used during the periods. |
|
|
|
|
Average train speed increased 16% in the third quarter of 2006 and 15% in the first nine
months of 2006, compared with the same periods in 2005. Trains moved at faster speeds for
longer distances as a result of our expanded track capacity in Western Canada, adhering to
our IOP, and co-production agreements with other railroads that allow us to move trains more
efficiently. Train speed also increased as a result of transporting less bulk volumes,
which move in heavy trains that travel more slowly. |
|
|
|
|
GTMs declined 1% in third-quarter 2006 and 3% in the first nine months of 2006, compared
with the same periods in 2005. The decrease in the third quarter 2006 was due to lower coal
volume partially offset by higher grain and potash volumes. The decrease in the first nine
months of 2006 was mainly due to lower coal and potash volumes. Fluctuations in GTMs
normally drive fluctuations in certain variable costs, such as fuel and crew costs. |
|
|
|
|
Car miles per car day increased 14% in third-quarter 2006 and 12% in the first nine months
of 2006, compared with the same periods in 2005. The improvement was due to successful
initiatives to move traffic more efficiently over our network. This enabled us to reduce our
rail car fleet size while maintaining a very high level of order fulfillment to our
customers. |
|
|
|
|
U.S. gallons of locomotive fuel consumed per 1,000 GTMs in both freight and yard activity
increased 4% in the third quarter of 2006 and 2% in the first nine months of 2006, compared
with the same periods in 2005. The increases were
driven by a reduction in bulk freight traffic, which consumes fuel at a lower rate than other
types of traffic. The increases were partially offset by increased utilization of
fuel-efficient locomotives, improved execution of our IOP and successful fuel-conservation
efforts (discussed under the sub-heading Crude Oil Prices in the section Future Trends,
Commitments and Risks). Mild winter weather also helped to reduce fuel consumption. |
|
|
|
|
The number of active employees at September 30, 2006, decreased 3% compared with the
number at September 30, 2005. The decrease was due mainly to job reductions made under
restructuring initiatives (discussed under the sub-heading Restructuring in the section
Future Trends, Commitments and Risks). Approximately 13% of employees were working on
capital projects at September 30, 2006, unchanged from the percentage at September 30, 2005. |
|
|
|
|
Freight revenue per RTM increased 4% in the third quarter of 2006 and 7% in the first nine
months in 2006, compared with the same periods of 2005. The increases were due to higher
freight rates, partially offset by the negative effect of the change in Foreign Exchange. |

Operating Expenses, Before Other Specified Items
Operating expenses, before other specified items were $854.4 million in the third quarter of 2006,
down $0.9 million from $855.3 million in the same period of 2005. Operating expenses, before other
specified items were $2,584.9 million in the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $59.4
million from $2,525.5 million in the same period of 2005.
For the third-quarter 2006 a decrease in compensation and benefits and equipment rents was offset
by higher fuel costs. For the first nine months of 2006, the increase in expenses was the result
of higher fuel costs and an increase in depreciation and amortization. These increases were
partially offset by improved operating efficiencies, cost-containment initiatives, lower GTMs, a
favourable Foreign Exchange impact, and mild winter weather. The change in Foreign Exchange reduced
operating expenses by approximately
8
$26 million and $74 million in the third-quarter and the first
nine months of 2006, respectively. The higher fuel costs were largely recovered in revenue from
fuel surcharges and from the benefits of hedging.
Ø Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits expense was $334.6 million in third-quarter 2006, a decrease of $10.3
million from $344.9 million in the same period of 2005. The expense was $1,006.0 million in the
first nine months of 2006, an increase of $7.8 million from $998.2 million in the same period of
2005. The decrease in third quarter was due to:
|
|
|
reduced costs as a result of lower freight volumes and restructuring initiatives
(discussed further under the sub-heading Restructuring in the section Future Trends,
Commitments and Risks); |
|
|
|
|
savings realized from efficiencies gained through our IOP (discussed further in the
subheading Integrated Operating Plan in the section Future Trends, Commitments and
Risks); and |
|
|
|
|
the positive impact of Foreign Exchange. |
The decrease in the third quarter was partially offset by the negative impact of inflation and
increased pension expense. Also in the third-quarter 2006, lower stock-based compensation expense
compared to the same period of 2005 was largely offset by a catchup in incentive compensation
expense related to 2006.
The increase in the first nine months of 2006 was largely due to higher stock-based compensation
costs prior to the implementation in the second-quarter 2006 of our Total Return Swap Program
(discussed further in the sub-heading Total Return Swap in the Section Financial Instruments)
offset by the factors discussed above.
Ø Fuel
Fuel expense was $161.3 million in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $19.4 million from
$141.9 million in third-quarter 2005. The expense was $479.3 million in the first nine months of
2006, an increase of $57.7 million from $421.6 million in the same period of 2005. The increase in
the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 was due to higher crude oil prices and refining
charges and an unfavourable change in our fuel consumption rate due to a higher proportion of
non-bulk freight traffic. The increases were partially offset by the favourable settlement of prior
period recoveries including a fuel excise tax refund, the positive impact of Foreign Exchange and
reduced workload.
Fuel price increases are also mitigated by our fuel surcharge program (discussed under the
sub-heading Freight Revenues in the section Lines of Business).
Ø Materials
Materials expense was $47.1 million in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $1.7 million
from $45.4 million in the same period of 2005. The expense was $159.2 million in the first nine
months of 2006, an increase of $9.0 million from $150.2 million in the same period of 2005. The
increase in the first nine months of 2006 was due mainly to increased costs for freight car and
locomotive repairs and train servicing, primarily the result of freight car wheel replacement and
higher energy costs. The increases were partially offset by the positive impact of Foreign
Exchange.
Ø Equipment Rents
Equipment rents expense was $44.4 million in third-quarter 2006, a decrease of $9.4 million from
$53.8 million in the third quarter of 2005. The expense was $133.4 million in the first nine
months of 2006, a decrease of $23.6 million from $157.0 million in the same period of 2005. The
decrease in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 was due mainly to more efficient
movement of traffic over our network which reduced the number of cars on line, resulting in lower
equipment rental payments to other railways and reduced locomotive and freight car lease costs and
the positive impact of Foreign Exchange.
The decrease in the first nine months of 2006 was offset by lower receipts from other railways and
customers for the use of our rail cars and favourable adjustments in the first quarter of 2005 for
freight car rentals pertaining to prior periods.
Ø Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $115.6 million in the third quarter of 2006, an increase
of $4.3 million from $111.3 million in the same period of 2005. The expense was $348.2 million in
the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $16.7 million from $331.5 million in the same period
of 2005. The increase in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 was due largely to
additions to capital assets for track and locomotives, including our Western Canada expansion,
partially offset by the effect of Foreign Exchange and asset retirements.
Ø Purchased Services and Other
Purchased services and other expense was $151.4 million in the third quarter of 2006, a decrease of
$6.6 million from $158.0 million in the same period of 2005. The expense was $458.8 million in the
first nine months of 2006, a decrease of $8.2 million from $467.0 million in the same period of
2005. T he decrease in the third quarter and first nine months 2006 was due largely to lower
joint-facility inter-railway expenditures resulting mainly from our co-production initiatives,
adherence to our IOP which reduced crew transportation costs, and the positive impact of Foreign
Exchange.
9
Other Income Statement Items
Ø Other Charges
Other charges were $6.9 million in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $0.3 million from $6.6
million in the same period of 2005 and were $21.4 million in the first nine months of 2006, an
increase of $10.1 million from $11.3 million in the same period of 2005. The increase was due
mainly to a gain realized in the first quarter of 2005 when interest rate locks were settled,
partially offset by the effect of Foreign Exchange on working capital accounts.
Ø Interest Expense
Interest expense was $48.8 million in the third quarter of 2006, a decrease of $1.5 million from
$50.3 million in third-quarter 2005. The expense was $144.7 million in the first nine months of
2006, a decrease of $10.4 million from $155.1 million in the first nine months of 2005.
Interest expense for the first nine months decreased due to the positive effect of Foreign Exchange
and the retirement of $250-million Medium Term Notes in June 2005. The improvements were partially
offset by higher interest charges on variable-interest rate debt tied to the London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR), which increased relative to the comparable period.
Ø Income Taxes
There was income tax expense of $78.0 million in the third quarter of 2006, compared with income
tax expense of $88.2 million in the same three months of 2005, a decrease of $10.2 million. The
income tax expense in the first nine months of 2006 was
$36.4 million, compared with income tax expense of $204.5 million in the same period of 2005, a
decrease of $168.1 million. The reduction in tax expense for the first nine months of 2006 compared
to the same period last year was due mainly due to a positive adjustment taken in the second
quarter of 2006 (described below), partially offset by an increase in taxes as a result of higher
income.
The effective income tax rate for third-quarter 2006 was 32.5% and 5.3% for the first nine months
of 2006, compared with 30.2% and 33.4% for the same periods in 2005, respectively. The normalized
rate (income tax rate based on income adjusted for FX on LTD and other specified items) was 30.5%
for third-quarter and first nine months of 2006, compared with 29.9% and 32.5% for the same periods
in 2005, respectively. The reduction in our effective income tax rate on a year-to-date basis is
due to changes in Canadian federal and provincial corporate income tax rates (discussed below) and
tax planning initiatives.
The governments of Canada and the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba have
substantially enacted legislation to reduce corporate income tax rates over a period of several
years. In the second quarter of 2006, we recorded a future income tax benefit of $176.0 million to
reflect the favourable impact of these tax rate reductions on transactions in prior years for which
future taxes will be paid.
We expect a normalized 2006 income tax rate of between 30% and 32%.
In recent years, we have utilized non-capital tax loss carryforwards to offset current taxable
income. We anticipate that these non-capital tax loss carryforwards will be exhausted during 2006
and we will have an increase in our cash tax payments in future years.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005, certain capital losses were no longer available to offset
capital gains arising from FX on LTD and other capital transactions. Following a review of
impending transactions during third-quarter 2005, we concluded that our remaining unrecognized
capital loss carryforwards for tax would more than likely be utilized. Consequently, we recorded a
future tax asset for all previously unrecognized capital loss carryforwards. As a result, any
future capital gains recorded, including FX on LTD, will be taxable, where historically they had
resulted in no net tax expense.
Also as a result of this review, the income tax associated with FX on LTD, which is a non-GAAP
measure, increased by $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2006 and increased by $6.1 million year
to date. The income tax expense, before income tax on FX on LTD, was reduced in third-quarter 2006
and the first nine months of 2006 by the same amounts. This reclassification moves previously
recognized capital losses that historically were allocated to unrealized FX on LTD gains and
includes them in the calculation of income tax for other realized capital transactions, which are
included in income tax expense before income tax on FX on LTD. With this reclassification, the tax
benefit of these losses is matched to the transactions that utilize them.
Changes in Accounting Policy
Financial Instruments, Hedging and Other Comprehensive Income
The CICA issued the following accounting standards effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
October 1, 2006: Accounting Standard Section 3855 Financial Instruments, Recognition and
Measurement, Accounting Standard Section 3861 Financial Instruments, Presentation and
Disclosure, Accounting Standard Section 3865 Hedging and Accounting Standard Section 1530
Comprehensive income. These sections will require certain financial instruments and hedge
positions to be recorded at their fair value. They also introduce the concept of comprehensive
income and accumulated other comprehensive income.
Financial instruments designated as held-for-trading and available-for-sale, as well as
guarantees, will be carried at their fair value while financial instruments such as loans and
receivables and those classified as held-to-maturity will be carried at their amortized cost.
All derivatives will be carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value, including
derivatives designated as hedges. The effective portion of unrealized gains and losses on cash
flow and net investment hedges and the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments arising
from investments in foreign operations will be carried in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,
10
a component of Shareholders Equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Any ineffective portions
of gains and losses on hedges will be taken into income immediately. Changes in value of fair value
hedges will be recognized in income as they occur. Adoption of these standards will be effective
from January 1, 2007 on a prospective basis without retroactive restatement of prior periods. The
impact of adoption cannot be reasonably estimated as the fair value of the Companys financial
instruments including derivatives designated as hedges will not be readily available until the end
of the year. However, it is not expected to have a material impact on net income or net assets.
Stock-Based Compensation for Employees Eligible to Retire Before the Vesting Date
The Emerging Issues Committee of the CICA issued Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 162
Stock-Based Compensation for Employees Eligible to Retire Before the Vesting Date (EIC 162) in
July 2006. This pronouncement will be effective for the Company commencing January 1, 2007 and
will be applied retroactively with restatement. The compensation cost attributable to stock-based
awards should be recognized over the period from the grant date to the date the employee becomes
eligible to retire
when this is shorter than the vesting period. It is not anticipated that the adoption of EIC 162
will have a material impact on the Company.
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans U.S. GAAP
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 158 (FAS 158)
amending employers accounting for defined benefit pension and other post retirement plans. FAS 158
is effective for years ending after December 15, 2006. This new statement will apply to the
presentation of the Companys annual U.S. GAAP financial information presented in the notes to the
annual financial statements and will be applied prospectively without restatement of prior periods.
FAS 158 requires that the over or under funded status of defined benefit pension and other post
retirement plans be recognized on the balance sheet. The over or under funded status will be
measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation.
In addition, any previously unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs and
credits that arise during the period will be recognized as a component of other comprehensive
income, net of tax. There are no requirements under FAS 158 that are expected to impact reported
U.S. GAAP net income. Under Canadian GAAP the over or under funded status of defined benefit plans
are not recognized in the balance sheet, nor does Canadian GAAP currently require the recognition
of other comprehensive income. In addition, FAS 158 also requires, effective in 2008, that pension
and other post retirement benefit plans be measured as of the balance sheet date.
The impact that the adoption of this new statement will have on the Companys U.S. GAAP balance
sheet cannot be reasonably estimated, as the fair value of the pension plans assets and
obligations will not be readily available until the end of the year. However, it is anticipated
that adoption of this new statement will result in the recognition of a liability for the unfunded
pension obligation and an associated future tax asset, although it is not expected to impact
reported U.S. GAAP net income.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The information on off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in our MD&A documents for the year
ended December 31, 2005, and for the first two quarters of 2006 remains substantially unchanged,
except for the following recent development:
Sale of Accounts Receivable
At September 30, 2006, the outstanding undivided co-ownership interest held by an unrelated trust
under our accounts receivable securitization program was $120.0 million (September 30, 2005 -
$120.0 million). Losses of $1.4 million on the securitization program in the third quarter in 2006
(third-quarter 2005 losses of $0.8 million) and losses of $3.7 million in the first nine months
of 2006 (first nine months of 2005 losses of $2.6 million) were included in Other Charges on
our Statement of Consolidated Income. We provide a credit enhancement amount to absorb all credit
losses. The trust has no recourse to the co-ownership interest in receivables that we retain,
other than in respect of the credit enhancement amount. This amount was recognized as a retained
interest. The fair value of the retained interest at September 30, 2006, was approximately 22% of
receivables sold, or $27.0 million (September 30, 2005 approximately 15%, or $18.2 million) and
was included in Accounts Receivable and Other Current Assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The fair value of the retained interest approximated its carrying value as a result of the short
collection cycle of the receivables and expected credit losses amounting to less than 0.05% of
total receivables. Proceeds from collections reinvested in the accounts receivable securitization
program were $347.5 million for the third quarter of 2006 and $1,074.0 million for the first nine
months of 2006. We have complied with all termination tests during the program.

These earnings measures have no standardized meanings prescribed by Canadian GAAP and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures of other companies. These earnings measures and other specified items are described in the
Non-GAAP
Earnings section of this MD&A. A reconciliation of income and EPS, before FX on LTD and other specified items, to net income and EPS, as presented in the financial statements is provided in the Non-GAAP Earnings section. This
information is in
Canadian dollars. |
Volumes of, and therefore, revenues from certain goods are stronger during different periods of the
year. First-quarter revenues can be lower mainly due to winter weather conditions, closure of the
Great Lakes ports and reduced transportation of retail goods. Second- and third-quarter revenues
generally improve over the first quarter as fertilizer volumes are typically highest during the
second quarter and demand for construction-related goods is generally highest in the third quarter.
Revenues are typically strongest in the fourth quarter, primarily as a result of the
transportation of grain after the harvest, fall fertilizer programs and increased demand for retail
goods moved by rail. Fertilizer revenues were lower than normal in the first nine months of 2006
as third-party negotiations caused a delay in potash shipments to China.
Operating income is also affected by seasonal fluctuations. Operating income is typically lowest in
the first quarter due to higher operating costs associated with winter conditions. However, mild
weather in the first quarter of 2006 helped to reduce the negative impact of winter on both
revenues and expenses. During the first and second quarters of 2005, a total of $23 million in
additional revenues was recorded as a result of an agreement reached with our largest coal shipper.
Operating and net income also increased in these two quarters of 2005 as a result of the
additional revenues.
Net income is also influenced by seasonal fluctuations in customer demand, weather-related costs,
FX on LTD, and other specified items.
Reduced income tax expense contributed significantly to an increase in net income in the second
quarter of 2006. The Government of Canada and several provincial governments reduced their
corporate income tax rates (discussed further under the sub-heading Income Taxes in the section
Other Income Statement Items). We recorded a future income tax benefit of $176.0 million to
reflect the positive impact of these tax rate reductions on transactions in prior years for which
future taxes will be paid.
Operating and net income in 2005 were influenced by two other specified items:
|
|
|
A special charge taken in the fourth quarter of 2005 for a new restructuring initiative to
reduce management and administrative costs. The special charge reduced net income by $28.3
million and operating income by $44.2 million. |
|
|
|
|
A reduction, taken in the third quarter of 2005, to a special charge originally taken in
the fourth quarter of 2004 to cover environmental clean-up costs. The reduction, which was
the result of a binding settlement with another responsible party, increased net income by
$20.6 million and operating income by $33.9 million. |
Operating and net income in the fourth quarter of 2004 were also influenced by two other specified
items:
|
|
|
A special charge to reflect the estimated costs to clean up environmental contamination at
a property in the U.S. The special charge reduced fourth-quarter 2004 net income by $55.2
million and operating income by $90.9 million. |
|
|
|
|
A favourable adjustment recorded in fourth-quarter 2004 reflected a reduction to a labour
liability included in a special charge originally taken in the second quarter of 2003. The
reduction, which was to the portion of the labour liability to be incurred in restructuring
our northeastern U.S. operations, increased fourth-quarter 2004 net income by $12.4 million
and operating income by $19.0 million. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe adequate amounts of cash and cash equivalents are available in the normal course of
business to provide for ongoing operations, including the obligations identified in the tables in
the section Contractual Commitments and in the section Future
12
Trends, Commitments and Risks
under the sub-heading Financial Commitments. We are not aware of any trends or expected
fluctuations in our liquidity that would create any deficiencies. The following discussion of
operating, investing and financing activities describes our indicators of liquidity and capital
resources.
Cash provided by operating activities was $278.3 million in the third quarter of 2006, an increase
of $4.4 million from $273.9 million in the same period of 2005. Cash provided by operating
activities was $735.0 million in the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $23.6 million from
$711.4 million in the same period of 2005.
The increase in the third quarter of 2006, compared with the same period in 2005, was largely due
to higher operating income, partially offset by increases in pension contributions and working
capital requirements. In the first nine months of 2006, compared with the same period in 2005,
higher net income more than offset increased pension contributions, increased inventory purchases,
mainly for track materials and fuel, and seasonal reductions in accounts payable.
There are no specific or unusual requirements relating to our working capital. In addition, there
are no unusual restrictions on any subsidiarys ability to transfer funds to CPRL.
Cash used in investing activities was $159.1 million in the third quarter of 2006, a decrease of
$68.2 million from $227.3 million in the same period of 2005. Cash used in investing activities
was $531.2 million in the first nine months of 2006, a decrease of $41.9 million from $573.1
million in the same period of 2005. Cash used in investing activities decreased in the third
quarter of 2006, compared with third-quarter 2005, mainly as a result of proceeds received from the
sale of freight cars which were being held for sale and reduced capital spending in 2006, compared
with 2005 when capacity on our track in western Canada was expanded.
In the first nine months of 2006, compared with the same period in 2005, cash used in investing
activities decreased primarily as a result of the proceeds from the sale of our Latta subdivision,
partially offset by the purchases of freight cars, the majority of which were sold and leased back
under an operating lease in the third quarter of 2006.
Capital spending in 2006 is projected to be between $810 million and $825 million. Our 2006
capital spending outlook assumes capital additions will decrease in 2006, as track-related
investments return to a more normal level following the completion in 2005 of the capacity
expansion. Our capital spending outlook is based on certain assumptions about events and
developments that may not materialize or that may be offset entirely or partially by other events
and developments (discussed further in the Forward-Looking Information section of this MD&A).
We intend to finance capital expenditures with cash from operations but may partially finance these
expenditures with new debt, if required. Our decision whether to acquire equipment through use of
capital and debt or through operating leases will be influenced by such factors as the need to keep
our capital structure within debt covenants and to maintain a net-debt to net-debt-plus-equity
ratio (discussed in this section under the sub-heading Financing Activities) that would preserve
our investment grade standing, as well as the amount of cash flow we believe can be generated from
operations and the prevailing interest rate environment.
Cash used in financing activities was $117.1 million in the third quarter of 2006, compared with
$91.7 million in the same period of 2005, an increase of $25.4 million. Cash used in financing
activities was $279.2 million in the first nine months of 2006, compared with $404.7 million in the
same period of 2005, a decrease of $125.5 million.
The increased use of cash in the third quarter was due to higher payments made to buy back more
shares through our share repurchase program under a normal course issuer bid (discussed further
under the sub-heading Share Capital in the section Balance Sheet). In addition, dividend
payments to our shareholders increased.
The decrease in cash used in the first nine months of 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, was due to:
|
|
|
the repayment in the second quarter of 2005 of our 7.2% $250-million Medium Term Notes; |
|
|
|
|
increased proceeds from the issue of shares for stock options exercised in the first half of 2006; and |
|
|
|
|
was partially offset by higher payments made in both the third quarter and first nine
months of 2006 to buy back more shares through our share repurchase program under a normal
course issuer bid and higher dividend payments to our shareholders. |
We have available, as sources of financing, unused credit facilities of up to $521.0 million, as
well as an uncommitted amount of US$15.0 million. Our unsecured long-term debt securities are
rated Baa2, BBB and BBB(high) by Moodys Investors Service, Inc., Standard and Poors
Corporation and Dominion Bond Rating Service, respectively.
At September 30, 2006, our net-debt to net-debt-plus-equity ratio improved to 37.5%, compared with
40.7% at September 30, 2005. The improvement was due primarily to an increase in equity from
earnings and the favourable year-over-year impact of U.S. foreign exchange rates on long-term debt.
Net debt is the sum of long-term debt, long-term debt maturing within one year and short-term
borrowing, less cash and short-term investments. This sum is divided by total net debt plus total
shareholders equity as presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
13
Management is committed to maintaining its net-debt to net-debt-plus-equity ratio at an acceptable
level and intends to continue to manage capital employed so that we retain our solid
investment-grade credit ratings.

Certain prior period figures have been restated to conform to presentation adopted in 2006. |
Free cash is a non-GAAP measure that management considers to be an indicator of liquidity. Free
cash after dividends is calculated as cash provided by operating activities, less cash used in
investing activities and dividends.
There was free cash of $89.7 million in the third quarter of 2006, and $22.8 million in the same
period of 2005. Free cash was $120.8 million for the first nine months in 2006, compared with $72.5
million for the same period in 2005. The increase in the third quarter was due largely to proceeds
received on the sale of freight cars and lower capital spending (discussed in this section under
the sub-heading Investing Activities), partially offset by a higher dividend payment. The
increase in the first nine months of the year was due to the proceeds from the sale of our Latta
subdivision and higher cash generated through operations, partially offset by purchases of freight
cars that will be sold and leased back under an operating lease and higher dividend payments.
We expect to generate more than $200 million in free cash in 2006, after dividends and before our
share repurchases (discussed in the section Balance Sheet), compared with $92 million in 2005.
The increase will be generated mainly through improved cash flow from operations, lower capital
expenditures and the Latta subdivision sale. Our free cash outlook is based on certain assumptions
about events and developments that may not materialize or that may be offset entirely or partially
by other events and developments (discussed in the Forward-Looking Information section of this
MD&A). Our free cash outlook relies on the assumptions established for earnings and capital
expenditures, which are discussed in this MD&A under the sub-heading Revenues in the section
Lines of Business, and in the sections Operating Expenses, Liquidity and Capital Resources
and Other Income Statement Items.
Balance Sheet
Ø Assets
Assets totalled $11,109.8 million at September 30, 2006, compared with $10,891.1 million at
December 31, 2005. The increase was mainly due to capital additions, most of which were locomotives
and track replacement, an increase in materials and supplies, including fuel and seasonal track
programs, and pension contributions made in excess of pension expense recognized in income. These
increases were partially offset by a reduction in cash balances as a result of capital purchases
and share repurchases.
Ø Total Liabilities
Our combined short-term and long-term liabilities were $6,333.9 million at September 30, 2006,
compared with $6,505.4 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease was due mainly to:
|
|
|
reductions to restructuring accruals reflecting ongoing payments; |
|
|
|
|
a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to payment of incentive
compensation in the first quarter of 2006; and |
|
|
|
|
a reduction in foreign currency denominated long-term debt as a result of a strengthened Canadian dollar. |
At September 30, 2006, our Consolidated Balance Sheet reflected $4,775.9 million in equity,
compared with equity balances of $4,385.7 million at December 31, 2005. The increase was due
primarily to growth in retained income and the issuance of Common Shares for stock options
exercised, partially offset by shares repurchased under a normal course issuer bid (discussed
below).
At September 30, 2006, 155.9 million Common Shares and no Preferred Shares were issued and
outstanding.
At September 30, 2006, 7.2 million options were outstanding under our Management Stock Option
Incentive Plan, and there were 0.3 million Common Shares available for the granting of future
options out of the 11.0 million Common Shares currently authorized. Each option granted can be
exercised for one Common Share.
On February 21, 2006, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 5.5 million in the
calendar year 2006 of our outstanding common shares for cancellation through normal course issuer
bid purchases. This represents approximately 3.5% of our common shares outstanding at December 31,
2005.
14
On March 1, 2006, we completed the necessary filings to increase the number of common shares
eligible for purchase under our then existing normal course issuer bid (the 2005 NCIB), which was
discussed in our December 31, 2005 MD&A, to 3,325,000 common shares during the 12 month period
ending June 5, 2006. This amendment to the 2005 NCIB enabled us to purchase a portion of the
shares authorized to be purchased by our Board of Directors during the period covered by it.
From June 6, 2005 to June 5, 2006, we purchased 3,325,000 Common Shares under the 2005 NCIB at an
average price of $51.82 per share.
On June 1, 2006 we completed the filings for a new normal course issuer bid (the 2006 NCIB) to
enable us to purchase for cancellation up to 3,936,000 of our outstanding shares during the 12
month period from June 6, 2006 to June 5, 2007. This latest NCIB will allow us to complete the
repurchase of up to 5.5 million Common Shares in the calendar year 2006, as announced in February,
2006. The number of shares that may be purchased under the 2006 NCIB represents approximately 2.5%
of our 158,321,252 common shares outstanding on May 31, 2006. Purchases may be made through the
facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. The prices that we pay
for any shares will be the market price at the time of purchase. The purpose and business reason
for purchasing shares as a result of the 2006 NCIB is that the purchase of Common Shares may be an
attractive and appropriate use of corporate funds in light of potential benefits to remaining
shareholders. The 2006 NCIB enables us to purchase the remaining shares authorized to be purchased
by our Board of Directors.
From June 6, 2006, to September 30, 2006, we purchased 2,583,800 Common Shares under the 2006 NCIB
at an average price of $54.29 per share.
Shareholders may obtain, without charge, a copy of our Notices of Intention to Make a Normal Course
Issuer Bid by writing The Office of the Corporate Secretary, Canadian Pacific Railway Limited,
Suite 920, Gulf Canada Square, 401 9th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4Z4, by telephone at
(403) 319-7165 or 1-866-861-4289, by fax at (403) 319-6770, or by e-mail at
shareholder@cpr.ca.
As announced in the first and second quarters of 2006, dividends of $0.1875 per share were paid on
April 24, 2006 and July 31, 2006 (2005 $0.1325 per share on April 25, 2005, and $0.15 per share
on July 25, 2005). On August 2, 2006, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of
$0.1875 per share (2005 $0.15 per share) on the outstanding Common Shares. The dividend is
payable on October 30, 2006 to holders of record at the close of business on September 29, 2006.
Financial Instruments
Our policy with respect to using financial instruments is to selectively reduce volatility
associated with fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates and in the price of diesel
fuel. On at least a quarterly basis we assess whether a derivative item is effective in offsetting
the changes in fair value or cash flows from the hedged items. The derivative qualifies for hedge
accounting treatment if it is effective in substantially mitigating the risk it was designed to
address. If the derivative is not effective, its book value is adjusted to its market value each
quarter and the associated gains or losses are included in Other Charges on our Statement of
Consolidated Income.
It is not our intent to use financial derivatives or commodity instruments for trading or
speculative purposes.
We are exposed to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. In
order to mitigate this risk, limits are set by our Board of Directors for counterparty transactions
and we conduct regular monitoring of the credit standing of the counterparties or their guarantors.
We do not anticipate any losses with respect to counterparty credit risk.
The information on financial instruments disclosed in our MD&A documents for the year ended
December 31, 2005, and for the first three quarters of 2006 remains substantially unchanged, except
for the following recent developments:
Ø |
|
Interest Rate Management |
Interest Rate Swaps
In 2003 and 2004, we entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements totalling US$200
million to convert a portion of our US$400-million 6.25% Notes to floating-rate debt. These swaps
are accounted for as a fair value hedge. Accounting for these swaps increased Interest Expense
on the Statement of Consolidated Income by $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2006 (third quarter
of 2005 decreased interest expense by $0.6 million) and by $0.4 million in the first nine months
of 2006 (first nine months of 2005 decreased interest by $2.7 million). At September 30, 2006,
an unrealized loss of $2.8 million (September 30, 2005 unrealized gain of $3.3 million) from
these interest rate swaps was calculated based on their fair value utilizing swap, currency and
basis-spread curves from Reuters. We have not recorded the fair value of these swaps on our
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Interest and Treasury Rate Locks
At September 30, 2006, Other Assets and Deferred Charges on the Consolidated Balance Sheet
included unamortized losses of $14.3 million (September 30, 2005 $17.7 million) for previously settled interest and treasury
rate locks, and Deferred Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet included an unamortized
gain of $8.3 million (September 30, 2005 $8.6 million) from interest rate locks. These gains and
losses are being amortized over the lives of their underlying debt. Amortization of the gains and
losses resulted in net expense amounts of $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2006 (third quarter
of 2005 $0.7 million) and $2.4 million for the first nine months of 2006 (first nine months of
2005 $2.3 million), which are included in Interest Expense on the Statement of Consolidated
Income.

Foreign Exchange Management |
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
We hedged a portion of our U.S. dollar-denominated freight revenues earned in Canada by selling
forward U.S. dollars. At September 30, 2006, we had US$5.7 million (September 30, 2005 US$76.1
million) of forward sales of U.S. dollars outstanding to be settled in 2006. The unrealized gain
on these forward contracts, calculated using the trading value of the U.S. dollar from the Bank of
Canada, was $0.5 million at September 30, 2006 (September 30, 2005 unrealized loss of $3.4
million). We did not include this gain in our financial statements at September 30, 2006, as it
remained unrealized at that time. Freight Revenues on our Statement of Consolidated Income
included realized gains on these foreign exchange forward contracts of $0.5 million in the third
quarter (third-quarter 2005 loss of $0.1 million) and $3.5 million in the first nine months of
2006 (first nine months of 2005 loss of $2.7 million).
Swaps and fuel surcharges (discussed in this MD&A under the sub-heading Freight Revenues in the
section Lines of Business), together with fuel conservation practices, are the key elements of
our program to manage the risk arising from fuel price volatility.
Crude Oil Swaps
We may enter into crude oil or heating oil swap contracts to help mitigate future price increases
related to the purchase of fuel. We generally enter into commodity swap purchase contracts, and
unrealized gains or losses related to these swaps are deferred until the related fuel purchases are
realized. However, this activity has been temporarily suspended and no swaps have been purchased
since January 2005. Our decision to resume hedging fuel purchases will depend on assessments of
the crude oil and refined products markets in the future.
At September 30, 2006, an unrealized gain of $40.4 million (September 30, 2005 $82.1 million) was
calculated based on the fair value of our swaps, which was derived from the WTI price, as quoted by
recognized dealers or as developed based upon the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the applicable U.S. Treasury Rate, LIBOR or swap spread. We have not included any
unrealized gains in our financial statements in the third quarter of 2006.
Fuel purchases and commodity swap contracts have an element of foreign exchange variability. From
time to time, we use foreign exchange forward contracts to manage this element of fuel-price risk.
An unrealized loss of $6.1 million (September 30, 2005 loss of
$9.2 million) related to the forward purchases of U.S. dollars (which were coupled with the crude
oil swaps) was calculated based on the fair value of these forward contracts at September 30, 2006.
Forward curves from Reuters were utilized to establish the fair value. The loss has not been
recorded in our financial statements in third-quarter 2006, as it remains unrealized. These
forward contracts will settle in 2006 through 2009.
Fuel expense was reduced by $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2006 (third quarter of 2005 -
$15.3 million) as a result of $9.9 million (third quarter of 2005 $15.8 million) in realized gains arising from settled swaps,
partially offset by $1.2 million (third quarter of 2005 $0.5 million) in realized losses arising from the settled foreign exchange
forward contracts. Fuel expense was reduced by $23.1 million in the first nine months of 2006
(first nine months of 2005 $33.3 million) as a result of $26.5 million (first nine months of 2005
- $35.0 million) in realized gains arising from settled swaps, partially offset by $3.4 million
(first nine months of 2005 $1.7 million) in realized losses arising from the settled foreign
exchange forward contracts.
For every US$1.00 increase in the price of WTI, fuel expense, before hedging, will increase by
approximately $8 million, assuming current foreign exchange rates and fuel consumption levels. We
have fuel hedges for approximately 13% of our estimated fuel purchases in 2006, 8% in 2007, 3% in
2008, and 3% in 2009.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense Management |
Total Return Swap
We entered into a Total Return Swap (TRS), effective in May 2006, in order to reduce the
volatility and total cost to the Company over time of two types of stock-based compensation: share
appreciation rights (SAR) and deferred share units (DSU) (discussed further under the
sub-heading Stock Prices in the section Future Trends, Risks and Commitments). The value of the
TRS derivative is linked to the market value of our stock and is intended to mitigate the impact on
expenses of share value movements on SARs and DSUs. Compensation and Benefits expense on our
Statement of Consolidated Income included an unrealized loss on these swaps of $3.7 million and
$12.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006, respectively. These losses
substantially offset benefits recognized in the SARs and DSUs stock-based compensation programs due
the change in our share price during the period the TRS was in place.

Contractual Commitments
The accompanying table indicates our known obligations and commitments to make future payments for
contracts, such as debt and capital lease and commercial arrangements.
In the first nine months of 2006, we purchased 44 new locomotives, which were previously held
under an operating lease.

We have guaranteed residual values on certain leased equipment with a maximum exposure of $257.2 million. Management estimates that we will have $2.0 million in
payments under these residual guarantees and, as such, has only included that amount with respect to these guaranteed residual values in the minimum payments shown above. |

Includes expected cash payments for restructuring, environmental remediation, asset retirement obligations, post-retirement benefits, workers compensation benefits and
pension benefit payments for our non-registered supplemental pension plans. Projected payments for post-retirement and workers compensation benefits include the
anticipated payments for years 2006 to 2015. Pension contributions for our registered pension plans are not included due to the volatility in calculating them. Pension
contributions are discussed further under the sub-heading Pension Plan Deficit in the section Future Trends, Commitments and Risks. |
Future Trends, Commitments and Risks
The future trends, commitments and risks disclosed in our MD&A documents for the year ended
December 31, 2005, and for the first two quarters of 2006 remain substantially unchanged, except
for the following recent developments:
Change in Executive Officers and Chairman of the Board
On May 5, 2006, CPRs Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Robert J. Ritchie, retired and Fred J. Green
assumed the position of CEO. Mr. Green also retained his position as President.
On May 5, 2006, the Chairman of our Board, J.E. (Ted) Newall, retired and was replaced by John E.
Cleghorn.
Effective April 14, 2006, CPRs Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, Michael T.
Waites, resigned. Effective October 16, 2006, Michael R. Lambert was appointed Executive
Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer.
Sale of Latta Subdivision
On May 26, 2006, the U.S. Surface Transportation Board approved the sale of our Latta Subdivision
to Indiana Rail Road Co. (INRD). The Latta Subdivision, located in the State of Indiana, is a
rail line between Fayette, near Terre Haute, and Bedford. The sale also included rights of INRD to
use certain track of CSX Transportation between Chicago, Illinois, and Louisville, Kentucky. INRD
assumed all rail operations on the line beginning May 27, 2006. We do not expect the sale of this
portion of our operations to materially impact our financial results. This sale was not segregated
as a discontinued operation on our financial statements because it did not generate its own
identifiable cash flow. Total annual carloads associated with this subdivision were approximately
54 thousand, of which approximately 40 thousand were for coal traffic. The carloads affected were
for traffic that moved over relatively short distances on CPR.
Rail Network Capacity
Significant increases in rail traffic volumes have created capacity challenges for the North
American rail sector. In particular, a rapid surge in exports and imports has created pressure on
railway systems to and from the Pacific Coast. In 2005, we completed a major expansion of our
track network in western Canada between the prairies and the Port of Vancouver on the Pacific
Coast. Any further expansion will be tied to ongoing market conditions and the continuation of a
stable regulatory environment in Canada. We are also maximizing our freight handling capacity by
acquiring new and more powerful locomotives and replacing older freight cars with more efficient
and higher-capacity freight cars.
Integrated Operating Plan
We manage scheduled operations through our IOP. The key principles upon which our IOP is built
include moving freight cars across the network with as few handlings as possible, creating balance
in the directional flow of trains in our corridors by day of week, and minimizing the time that
locomotives and freight cars are idle. During the first nine months of 2006, execution of our IOP
generated productivity and efficiency improvements that reduced expenses in key areas, while
improving service reliability to support rate increases and grow market share. Areas of expense
reduction included labour, purchased services and equipment costs.
Canadian Government Covered Hopper Car Fleet
We move grain using our covered hopper car fleet, which consists of owned, leased and managed
freight cars. The managed segment consists of cars provided by federal and provincial governments
for the purpose of transporting grain. The Canadian federal
17
government has announced its intention
to retain ownership of its 6,330 cars utilized by CPR and negotiate a new operating agreement with
CPR. We view this as positive and allows for the negotiation of a progressive operating agreement
geared towards ensuring an efficient, low-cost grain handling and transportation system.
Stock Price
The market value of our Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange decreased $1.35 per share (from
$56.91 to $55.56) in the third quarter of 2006 and increased $6.85 per share in the first nine
months of 2006 (from $48.71 to $55.56). The market value of our Common Shares on the Toronto Stock
Exchange increased $7.65 per share (from $42.39 to $50.04) in the third quarter of 2005 and
increased $8.94 per share in the first nine months of 2005 (from $41.10 to $50.04). The changes in
share price caused corresponding changes in the value of our outstanding share appreciation rights
(SAR) and deferred share units (DSU). Effective the second quarter of 2006, we put in place a
Total Return Swap (TRS) (discussed in this MD&A under the sub-heading Total Return Swap in the
section Financial Instruments) to mitigate gains and losses associated with the effect of our
share price on the SARs and DSUs. Excluding the impact of our TRS, the cost of our SARs and DSUs
resulted in a decrease in compensation and benefits expense of $18.3 million in third-quarter 2006
and a decrease of $3.8 million in the first nine months of 2006, compared with the same periods of
2005.
Crude Oil Prices
Crude oil prices continued to escalate in the first nine months of 2006 and remain volatile due to
strong world demand and geopolitical events that disrupt and threaten to disrupt supply. We will
continue to mitigate the impact of increases in fuel prices through a fuel risk mitigation program,
which includes fuel surcharges (discussed in this MD&A under the sub-heading Freight Revenues in
the section Lines of Business). We currently have hedges in place (discussed in this MD&A in the
section Financial Instruments) that partially offset the effects of rising fuel prices. Revenue
from fuel surcharges and the benefits of hedging resulted in the recovery of more than
three-quarters of our fuel price increase in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006. We
are also reducing fuel costs by acquiring more fuel-efficient locomotives and employing
fuel-efficiency initiatives through our IOP.
Border Security
We strive to ensure our customers have unimpeded access to North American markets by working
closely with Canadian and U.S. customs officials and other railways to facilitate the safe and
secure movement of goods between Canada and the U.S. We also take all necessary precautions to
prevent smuggling and other illegal activities. A Vehicle and Cargo Inspection System
(VACIS) has been installed at five of our border crossings under a co-operative program with the
Canada Border Services agency and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Labour Relations
Agreements are in place with all seven bargaining units in Canada and 12 of 28 bargaining units in
the U.S. All negotiations currently under way are progressing positively. The following is a
summary of the status of unsettled and recently settled agreements:
Our collective agreement with the Transportation Communications Local 1976 United Steelworkers of
America (TC-USWA TC-USWA, which represents clerical and administrative staff, was set to expire
at the end of 2006. On September 18, 2006, CPR and the TC-USWA ratified a three-year agreement
extending to the end of 2009. Negotiations are currently underway with the Teamsters Canada Rail
Conference (TCRC-MWED), who represent maintenance of way employees, and Teamsters Canada Rail
Conference (TCRC-RTE) who represent running trade employees. Both of these contracts expire
December 31, 2006.
We are party to collective agreements with 28 bargaining units: 15 on our Soo Line Railroad (Soo
Line) subsidiary and 13 on our Delaware and Hudson Railway (D&H) subsidiary.
On the Soo Line, negotiations have commenced with 14 bargaining units representing track
maintainers, conductors, clerks, car repair employees, mechanical labourers, machinists,
electricians, train dispatchers, signal repair employees, police, blacksmiths and boilermakers,
sheet metal workers, locomotive engineers and mechanical supervisors. An agreement with the
bargaining unit representing yard supervisors extends through 2008.
D&H has agreements in place with 11 unions representing freight car repair employees, clerks,
locomotive engineers, signal repair employees, mechanical supervisors, mechanical labourers,
machinists, electricians, engineering supervisors, police and yard supervisors. Negotiations are
continuing with the remaining two bargaining units, which represent track maintainers and
conductors.
Environmental
We continue to be responsible for remediation work on portions of a property in the State of
Minnesota and continue to retain liability accruals for remaining future expected costs. The
states voluntary investigation and clean-up program will oversee the work to ensure it is
completed in accordance with applicable standards.
18
Financial Commitments
In addition to the financial commitments mentioned previously in the sections Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements and Contractual Commitments, we are party to certain other financial commitments

We have several contracts outstanding with termination payments ranging from $nil to $20.1 million per contract and resulting in a minimum exposure
of $3.3 million and a maximum exposure of $44.5 million, depending on the date of termination. These contracts are not reflected in the commitments above and terminate
mainly between 2008 and 2013. |
Our available line of credit is adjusted for the letters of credit contract amounts currently
included within our revolving credit facility.
We are obligated to make various capital purchases involving track programs, locomotive
acquisitions and overhauls, freight cars, and land. At September 30, 2006, we had multi-year
capital commitments of $577.9 million in the form of signed contracts or letters of intent, largely
for locomotive overhaul agreements. Payments for these commitments are due in 2006 through 2016.
These expenditures are expected to be financed by cash generated from operations or by issuing new
debt.
|
|
Offset Financial Liability |
At September 30, 2006, a loan to finance certain equipment had a balance of $181.6 million, offset
by a financial asset of $176.8 million. The remainder is included in Long-Term Debt on our
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Pension Plan Deficit
We estimate that every 1.0 percentage point increase (or decrease) in the discount rate can cause
our defined benefit pension plans deficit to decrease (or increase) by approximately $625 million,
after reflecting the expected loss (gain) on the value of the pension funds debt securities with
respect to corresponding changes in long-term interest rates. Similarly, every 1.0 percentage
point the actual return on assets varies above (or below) the estimated return for the year can
cause the deficit to decrease (or increase) by approximately $70 million. Adverse experience with
respect to these factors could eventually increase funding and pension expense significantly, while
favourable experience with respect to these factors could eventually decrease funding and pension
expense significantly.
Between 51% and 57% of the plans assets are invested in equity securities. As a result, stock
market performance is the key driver in determining the pension funds asset performance. Most of
the plans remaining assets are invested in debt securities, which, as mentioned above, provide a
partial offset to the increase (or decrease) in our pension deficit caused by decreases (or
increases) in the discount rate.
The deficit will fluctuate according to future market conditions and funding will be revised as
necessary to reflect such fluctuations. We will continue to make contributions towards the deficit
that, as a minimum, meet requirements as prescribed by Canadian pension supervisory authorities.
Contributions of $81.0 million were made to the defined benefit pension plans in the third quarter
of 2006, compared with $32.6 million in the same period of 2005. Contributions of $118.4 million
were made to the defined benefit pension plans in the first nine months of 2006, compared with
$67.5 million in the same period of 2005.
Our minimum contribution requirement is set out in an updated actuarial valuation as at January 1,
2006 (which was completed in June 2006). We expect our pension contribution in 2006 to be
approximately $205 million, which represents the estimated minimum required contribution after
applying the remaining balance of the $300-million voluntary contribution made in December 2003.
Our pension contributions for 2007, 2008 and 2009 will be highly dependent on our actual experience
over 2006, 2007 and 2008 with such variables as investment returns, interest rate fluctuations,
demographic changes and any revisions to pension funding regulations. If mid and long Canada bond
yields remain at their levels on September 30, 2006 (i.e. approximately unchanged from their levels
on December 31, 2005) and pension funding regulations remain unchanged, we project our pension
contributions to be approximately $225 million in 2007, declining to approximately $150 million in
2008. However, management expects these Canada bond yields to increase over the next two years. If
these bond yields increase by 0.25% during the fourth quarter of 2006 and by a further 0.25% during
2007, we project our pension contributions to be approximately $175 million in 2007, declining to
approximately $100 million in 2008. The Canadian Government has proposed changes to its pension
funding regulations, which, if enacted, would extend the funding period for the plans deficit,
thereby reducing our projected pension contributions.
Restructuring
Restructuring initiatives were announced in 2003 and 2005 to improve efficiency in our
administrative areas by eliminating 1,220 management and administrative positions. The successful
completion of these reductions were achieved during the third quarter, 2006. We will continue to
hire selectively in specific areas of the business, as required by growth or changes in traffic
patterns.
Cash payments related to severance under all restructuring initiatives and to our environmental
remediation program (described in this MD&A under the sub-heading Critical Accounting Estimates)
totalled $18.6 million in the third quarter of 2006 and $69.2 million in
19
the first nine months of
2006, compared with $16.3 million and $42.6 million in the same periods of 2005, respectively. Of
these amounts, payments related only to labour liabilities were $14.2 million in the third quarter
of 2006 and $55.9 million in the first nine months of 2006, compared with $11.6 million and $34.5
million in the same periods of 2005, respectively.
Cash payments for restructuring and environmental initiatives are estimated to be $20 million for
the remainder of 2006, $69 million in 2007, $49 million in 2008, and a total of $194 million over
the remaining years through 2025, which will be paid in decreasing amounts. All payments will be
funded from general operations. Of these amounts, cash payments related only to the restructuring
initiatives are expected to be $8 million for the remainder of 2006, $41 million in 2007, $33
million in 2008 and a total of $125 million over the remaining years through 2025. These amounts
include residual payments to protected employees for previous restructuring plans that are
substantially complete.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The development, selection and disclosure of these estimates, as well as this MD&A, have been
reviewed by the Board of Directors Audit, Finance and Risk Management Committee, which is
comprised entirely of independent directors.
The critical accounting estimates disclosed in our MD&A documents for the year ended December 31,
2005, and for the first three quarters of 2006 remain substantially unchanged, except for the
following recent developments:
Ø |
|
Environmental Liabilities |
At September 30, 2006, the accrual for environmental remediation on our Consolidated Balance Sheet
amounted to $125.0 million, of which the long-term portion amounting to $100.1 million was included
in Deferred Liabilities and the short-term portion amounting to $24.9 million, was included in
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities. Total payments were $4.3 million in the third quarter
of 2006 and $4.7 million in the same period of 2005. Total payments were $8.9 million in the first
nine months of 2006 and $8.0 million in the same period of 2005.
Ø |
|
Pensions and Other Benefits |
Other Assets and Deferred Charges on our September 30, 2006, Consolidated Balance Sheet included
prepaid pension costs of
$1,010.7 million. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet also included $0.7 million in Accounts Payable
and Accrued Liabilities and
$0.8 million in Deferred Liabilities for pension obligations.
We included post-retirement benefits accruals of $194.7 million in Deferred Liabilities and
post-retirement benefits accruals of
$3.4 million in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities on our September 30, 2006, Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
Pension and post-retirement benefits expenses (excluding workers compensation benefits) were
included in Compensation and Benefits on our September 30, 2006, Statement of Consolidated
Income. Combined pension and post-retirement benefits expenses were $29.9 million in the third
quarter of 2006, compared with $21.0 million in the same period of 2005. Combined pension and
post-retirement benefits expenses were $91.1 million in the first nine months of 2006, compared
with $62.4 million in the same period of 2005.
Pension expense consists of defined benefit pension expense plus defined contribution pension
expense (equal to contributions). Pension expense was $19.7 million in third-quarter 2006 and
$59.1 million in the first nine months of 2006, compared with $10.2 million and $29.6 million for
the same periods in 2005, respectively. Defined benefit pension expense was $18.9 million in the
third quarter of 2006 and $56.7 million in the first nine months of 2006, compared with $9.4
million and $27.2 million in the same periods of 2005, respectively. Defined contribution pension
expense was $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2006 and $2.4 million in the first nine months of
2006, compared with $0.8 million and $2.4 million in the same periods of 2005, respectively.
Post-retirement benefits expense was $10.3 million in the third quarter of 2006 and $32.0 million
in the first nine months of 2006, compared with $10.8 million and $32.8 million in the same periods
of 2005, respectively.
Ø |
|
Property, Plant and Equipment |
At September 30, 2006, accumulated depreciation was $5,035.3 million. Depreciation expense related
to properties amounted to $115.6 million in the third quarter of 2006, compared with $111.3 million
in the same period of 2005. Depreciation expense related to properties amounted to $348.2 million
in the first nine months of 2006, compared with $331.5 million in the same period of 2005.
Revisions to the estimated useful lives and net salvage projections for properties constitute a
change in accounting estimate and we address these prospectively by amending depreciation rates.
We estimate that if the average life of road locomotives increased (or decreased) by 5%, annual
depreciation expense would decrease (or increase) by approximately $3 million.
Regular depreciation studies are conducted to establish the estimated useful life of each property
group. Depreciation expense decreased $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2006 due to a decrease
in the depreciation rates primarily for vehicles and increased $1.5 million in the first nine
months of 2006, due to rate increases for locomotives and miscellaneous equipment.
Future income tax expense totalling $72.6 million and $2.2 million were included in income taxes
for the third quarter and first nine months in 2006, respectively, compared with future income tax
expense of $86.7 million and $195.6 million included in income taxes for the same periods in 2005,
respectively. At September 30, 2006, future income tax liabilities of $1,686.2 million were
recorded as a
20
long-term liability, comprised largely of temporary differences related to accounting
for properties. Future income tax benefits of $115.0 million realizable within one year were
recorded as a current asset. We believe our future income tax provisions are adequate.
In the second quarter of 2006, we reduced our future income tax liability by $176 million due to a
reduction in income tax rates by the Government of Canada and certain provincial governments
(discussed under the sub-heading Income Taxes in the section Other Income Statement Items).
Ø |
|
Legal and Personal Injury Liabilities |
Provisions for incidents, claims and litigation charged to income, which are included in Purchased
Services and Other on our Statement of Consolidated Income, amounted to $11.5 million in the third
quarter of 2006 and $31.2 million in the first nine months of 2006, compared with $11.3 million and
$35.5 million in the same periods of 2005, respectively.
Accruals for incidents, claims and litigation, including Workers Compensation Board accruals,
totalled $156.9 million, net of insurance recoveries, at September 30, 2006. The total accrual
included $101.4 million in Deferred Liabilities and $77.5 million in Accounts Payable and
Accrued Liabilities, offset by $7.4 million in Other Assets and Deferred Charges and $14.6
million in Accounts Receivable.
Forward-Looking Information
This MD&A contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (United States) and other relevant securities litigation relating but
not limited to our operations, anticipated financial
performance, business prospects and strategies. Forward-looking information typically contains
statements with words such as anticipate, believe, expect, plan or similar words suggesting
future outcomes.
Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on forward-looking information because it is
possible that we will not achieve predictions, forecasts, projections and other forms of
forward-looking information. In addition, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or
otherwise revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise except as required by law.
By its nature, our forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to the following factors: changes in business strategies;
general global economic and business conditions; the availability and price of energy commodities;
the effects of competition and pricing pressures; industry overcapacity; shifts in market demands;
changes in laws and regulations, including regulation of rates; potential increases in maintenance
and operating costs; uncertainties of litigation; labour disputes; timing of completion of capital
and maintenance projects; currency and interest rate fluctuations; effects of changes in market
conditions on the financial position of pension plans; various events that could disrupt
operations, including severe weather conditions; security threats; and technological changes.
The performance of the North American and global economies remains uncertain. Grain production and
yield in Canada improved in the last crop year and is expected to remain stable in the current crop
year, after a period of significant drought-induced decline. However, factors over which we have
no control, such as weather conditions and insect populations, affect crop production and yield in
the grain collection areas we serve. Fuel prices also remain uncertain, as they are influenced by
many factors, including, without limitation, worldwide oil demand, international politics, severe
weather, labour and political instability in major oil-producing countries and the ability of these
countries to comply with agreed-upon production quotas. We intend to continue our fuel cost
mitigation program to attempt to offset the effects of high crude oil prices.
In Canada, Bill C-11, legislation amending the Canada Transportation Act (CTA), was introduced in
Parliament in spring 2006.
Bill C-11 contains some of the amendments that had been included in Bill C-44, which was introduced
in 2005 but was terminated when Parliament was dissolved on November 29, 2005. Bill C-11 includes,
among other things, amendments concerning the grain revenue cap, commuter and passenger access, and
railway noise. Amendments concerning Final Offer Arbitration (FOA) and other shipper remedies
are not included in Bill C-11. There may be additional changes to the CTA in respect of FOA and
other matters that had been dealt with in Bill C-44. No assurance can be given as to the effect on
CPR of the provisions of Bill C-11 or as to the content, timing or effect on CPR of any anticipated
additional legislation.
CPRs railway operations in the United States are subject to regulation by the STB. The STB has
undertaken an independent review of a number of commercial matters including the methodology used
by railroads to assess fuel surcharges, the commercial relationship between large railroads and
shortlines and the rates charged by railroads to grain shippers. The STB has also promulgated
proposed new rules for the handling of disputes by small and medium shippers. At this time it is
too early to assess the possible impact on CPR if any new regulation is forthcoming as a result of
these hearings and proposed rules.
There are factors that could cause actual results to differ from those described in the
forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A. These more specific factors are identified and
discussed in the Future Trends, Commitments and Risks section and elsewhere in this MD&A with the
particular forward-looking statement in question.

|
Average train speed
|
|
the average speed attained as a train travels between terminals, calculated
by dividing the total train miles traveled by the total hours operated.
This calculation does not include the travel time or the distance traveled
by: i) trains used in or around CPRs yards; ii) passenger trains; and iii)
trains used for repairing track. The calculation also does not include the
time trains spend waiting in the terminals. |

Car-miles per car-day
|
|
the total car-miles for a period divided by the total number of active cars.
Total car-miles includes the distance travelled by every car on a
revenue-producing train and a train used in or around our yards.
A car-day is assumed to equal one active car. An active car is a
revenue-producing car that is generating costs to CPR on an hourly or
mileage basis. Excluded from this count are i) cars that are not on the
track or are being stored; ii) cars that are in need of repair; iii) cars
that are used to carry materials for track repair; iv) cars owned by
customers that are on the customers tracks; and v) cars that are idle and
waiting to be reclaimed by us. |
