Canadian Pacific Railway Limited Filing of Calculation of Earnings Coverage on April 23,
2009 |
Canadian Pacific Railway Limited filed a calculation of earnings coverage document via Sedar on April 23, 2009 under Sedar project
01407786. After filing, an error was detected in the ratios under Before foreign exchange on
long-term debt (1) (3)and After foreign exchange on long-term debt (2)
(3) in that the ratios should be 3.8 instead of 3.3. Consequently, attached is a
corrected calculation of earnings coverage document to be filed as an additional document on
Project No. 01407786.
If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at (403) 319-6171.
Yours truly,
CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY LIMITED

Notes: |
|
(1) |
|
Earnings coverage is equal to income (before foreign exchange on long-term debt)
before net interest expense and income tax expense divided by net interest expense on all debt. |
|
(2) |
|
Earnings coverage is equal to income (after foreign exchange on long-term debt)
before net interest expense and income tax expense divided by net interest expense on all debt. |
|
(3) |
|
The earnings coverage ratios have been calculated excluding carrying charges for the
$65.3 million in long-term debt maturing within one year reflected as current liabilities in CPRLs
consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2009. If such long-term debt maturing within one year
had been classified in their entirety as long-term debt for purposes of calculating earnings
coverage ratios, the entire amount of the annual carrying charges for such long-term debt maturing
within one year would have been reflected in the calculation of CPRLs earnings coverage ratios.
For the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2009, earnings coverage on long-term debt before
foreign exchange on long-term debt and after foreign exchange on long-term debt would have been
3.6 and 3.6, respectively. |
