CANADIAN PACIFIC ANNOUNCES STRONG OPERATING PERFORMANCE AND FOURTH-QUARTER RESULTS

CALGARY – Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) announced its fourth-quarter and full year 2011 results today. Fourth-quarter CP reported net income of $221 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.30, inclusive of $0.22 per share income tax benefit. For the full year, the company reported net income of $570 million and diluted earnings per share of $3.34.

“We exited 2011 having made meaningful progress on the three pillars of our Multi-Year Plan: driving growth, expanding network capacity to safely and efficiently support higher volumes and controlling costs. During the fourth quarter we delivered record asset velocity, a direct link to better service, positioning us for a lower operating ratio,” said Fred Green, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We begin 2012 with operating momentum, excellent service levels and a stronger, more resilient rail network. We are aggressively executing on our Multi-Year Plan, which is instrumental in creating long-term value for shareholders.”

MULTI-YEAR PLAN

“Our operational metrics are a leading indicator of both customer satisfaction and financial results. The operational improvements we have already achieved will now begin to drive enhanced financial results in the first quarter of 2012 and, as we continue to execute on our Multi-Year Plan, further operational improvements will deliver financial benefits,” added Fred Green. “Given our recent market successes and operating trends, we can now with confidence, narrow our target operating ratio range to 70 to 72 per cent in three years and we have no intention of stopping there.”

2012 ASSUMPTIONS

Defined benefit pension contributions are currently estimated to be between $100 million and $125 million in each of the next few years, a decrease from previous estimates of $125 million to $150 million. These contribution levels reflect the Company’s intentions with respect to application of voluntary prepayments. Defined benefit pension expense for 2012 is expected to be $41 million. For 2013, defined benefit pension expense is expected to be approximately $125 million, assuming normal equity market returns and modest increases in bond yields in 2012.

CP plans to spend in the range of $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion on capital programs in 2012, as announced on January 17, 2012.

CP expects its tax rate to be in the 25 per cent to 27 per cent range in 2012.

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY LIMITED

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

December 31, 2011

(unaudited)

 

1 Basis of presentation

This unaudited interim consolidated financial information of Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (“CP”, or “the Company”) reflects management’s estimates and assumptions that are necessary for its fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This information does not include all disclosures required under GAAP for annual and interim financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2010 consolidated financial statements and 2011 consolidated interim financial statements. The policies used are consistent with the policies used in preparing the 2010 consolidated financial statements. The Company’s investments in which CP has significant influence, which are not consolidated, are accounted for using the equity method.

CP’s operations can be affected by seasonal fluctuations such as changes in customer demand and weather-related issues. This seasonality could impact quarter-over-quarter comparisons.

In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial information includes all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly such information.

 

2 Income taxes

Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2011 reflects a tax recovery of $37 million resulting from the resolution of certain income tax matters and adjustments related to previous year’s tax filings and estimates.

 

3 Long-term debt

On September 13, 2011, the Company announced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any or all its outstanding US$246 million 6.25% Notes due October 15, 2011. Notes tendered with a principal value of US$204 million were redeemed on October 12, 2011, and the remaining US$42 million Notes not tendered were redeemed on October 17, 2011. Upon redemption of the Notes a net loss of $1 million was recognized to “Other income and charges” in the fourth quarter of 2011.

During December 2011, the Company issued $125 million 5.10% 10-year Notes, US$250 million 4.50% 10-year Notes and US$250 million 5.75% 30-year Notes. Net proceeds from these offerings were $618 million and were largely used to make a $600 million voluntary prepayment to the Company’s main Canadian defined benefit pension plan (see Note 4).

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company issued US$139 million 3.88% Series A and B Senior Secured Notes due in 2026 for net proceeds of $139 million. These Notes are secured by locomotives previously acquired by the Company with a carrying value of $139 million at December 31, 2011. The Company pays equal blended semi-annual payments of principal and interest up to and including December 2026. Final repayment of the remaining principal of US$69 million is due in the fourth quarter of 2026.

 

4 Pensions and other benefits

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company made a $600 million voluntary prepayment to the Company’s main Canadian defined benefit pension plan. The Company made a voluntary prepayment of $650 million to the Company’s main Canadian defined benefit plan in September 2010.

As a result of lower discount rates at December 31, 2011, compared with December 31, 2010, as well as unfavourable 2011 equity returns, pension and post-retirement benefit liabilities increased by $1,040 million, other comprehensive loss was increased by $768 million and the Company’s deferred tax liability was reduced by $272 million. The Company used a discount rate of 4.55% at December 31, 2011, (2010 – 5.20%) to determine the pension and other post-retirement benefit obligation.
