Canadian Pacific reports Q1-2014 net income of C$254M or C$1.44 per diluted share
Delivers best first quarter financial results in companys history
Calgary, ABCanadian Pacific Railway Limited (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) today announced record Q1 2014 financial results.
Reported net income in the first quarter was $254 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, versus $217 million, or $1.24 per share, in the first quarter of 2013. This represents a 16 per cent year-over year improvement in earnings per share.
FIRST-QUARTER 2014 RESULTS COMPARED WITH FIRST-QUARTER 2013:
| Total revenues were $1,509 million, an increase of 1 per cent |
| Operating expenses were $1,086 million, a decrease of 4 per cent |
| Operating income was $423 million, an increase of 17 per cent |
| Operating ratio was 72.0 per cent, a 380 basis point improvement |
CP delivered solid results in a period that was severely impacted by extraordinary cold and severe winter weather conditions, said E. Hunter Harrison, Chief Executive Officer. In the face of such difficult operating conditions, I am particularly proud of the women and men of CP who remained on the job 24/7, to keep the railway operating.
Despite a slow start to the year and the reduced capacity which limited our ability to meet strong customer demand, we still have the utmost confidence in our ability to achieve our financial targets for 2014.

1 | Basis of presentation |
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (CP, or the Company), expressed in Canadian dollars, reflect managements estimates and assumptions that are necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). They do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2013 annual consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies used are consistent with the accounting policies used in preparing the 2013 annual consolidated financial statements.
CPs 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 managements opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly such information. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 28.0% (three months ended March 31, 201324.8%). The lower rate in 2013 was the result of a benefit recognized for a U.S. federal track maintenance credit of $6 million for 2012 enacted and reported in the first quarter of 2013.
4 | Earnings per share |
At March 31, 2014, the number of shares outstanding was 175.1 million (March 31, 2013 174.7 million).
Basic earnings per share have been calculated using net income for the period divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period.
The number of shares used in earnings per share calculations is reconciled as follows:

5 | Shareholders Equity |
On February 20, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a share repurchase program, and in March 2014, the Company filed a new normal course issuer bid to purchase, for cancellation, up to 5.3 million of its outstanding common shares. Under the filing, share purchases may be made during the 12-month period that began March 17, 2014, and ends March 16, 2015. 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 retained earnings.
The following table provides the activity under the share repurchase program:

6 | Financial instruments |
A. | Fair values of financial instruments |
The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in line with the fair value hierarchy established by GAAP that prioritizes, with respect to reliability, the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels. Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and give the highest priority to these inputs. Level 2 and 3 inputs are based on significant other observable inputs and significant unobservable inputs, respectively, and give lower priority to these inputs.
When possible, the estimated fair value is based on quoted market prices and, if not available, estimates from third party brokers. For non-exchange traded derivatives classified in Level 2, the Company uses standard valuation techniques to calculate fair value. Primary inputs to these techniques include observable market prices (interest, foreign exchange and commodity) and volatility, depending on the type of derivative and nature of the underlying risk. The Company uses inputs and data used by willing market participants when valuing derivatives and considers its own credit default swap spread as well as those of its counterparties in its determination of fair value.
The carrying values of financial instruments equal or approximate their fair values with the exception of long-term debt which has a fair value of approximately $5,715 million at March 31, 2014 (December 31, 2013 $5,572 million) and a carrying value of $4,869 million at March 31, 2014 (December 31, 2013 $4,876 million). The estimated fair value of current and long-term borrowings has been determined based on market information where available, or by discounting future payments of interest and principal at estimated interest rates expected to be available to the Company at period end. All derivatives and long-term debt are classified as Level 2.

Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments may be used to selectively reduce volatility associated with fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange (FX) rates, the price of fuel and stock-based compensation expense. Where derivatives are designated as hedging instruments, the relationship between the hedging instruments and their associated hedged items is documented, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instruments. This documentation includes linking the derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets or liabilities on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets, commitments or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, an assessment is made whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged items. The derivative qualifies for hedge accounting treatment if it is effective in substantially mitigating the risk it was designed to address.
It is not the Companys intent to use financial derivatives or commodity instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign exchange management
The Company conducts business transactions and owns assets in both Canada and the United States. As a result, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in value of financial commitments, assets, liabilities, income or cash flows due to changes in FX rates. The Company may enter into foreign exchange risk management transactions primarily to manage fluctuations in the exchange rate between Canadian and U.S. currencies. FX exposure is primarily mitigated through natural offsets created by revenues, expenditures and balance sheet positions incurred in the same currency. Where appropriate, the Company may negotiate with customers and suppliers to reduce the net exposure.
Occasionally the Company may enter into short-term FX forward contracts as part of its cash management strategy.
Net investment hedge
The FX gains and losses on long-term debt are mainly unrealized and can only be realized when U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt matures or is settled. The Company also has long-term FX exposure on its investment in U.S. affiliates. The majority of the Companys U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt has been designated as a hedge of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries. This designation has the effect of mitigating volatility on net income by offsetting long-term FX gains and losses on U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt and gains and losses on its net investment. The effective portion recognized in Other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $131 million (three months ended March 31, 2013 $67 million). There was no ineffectiveness during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013.
Foreign exchange forward contracts
The Company may enter into FX forward contracts to lock-in the amount of Canadian dollars it has to pay on its U.S. denominated debt maturities.
At March 31, 2014, the Company had FX forward contracts to fix the exchange rate on US$175 million of its 6.50% Notes due in May 2018, and US$100 million of its 7.25% Notes due in May 2019. At December 31, 2013, the Company had FX forward contracts to fix the exchange rate on US$100 million of principal outstanding on a capital lease due in January 2014, US$175 million of its 6.50% Notes due in May 2018, and US$100 million of its 7.25% Notes due in May 2019. These derivatives, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, guarantee the amount of Canadian dollars that the Company will repay when these obligations mature.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company settled the FX forward contract related to the repayment of a capital lease due in January 2014 for proceeds of $8 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the combined realized and unrealized foreign exchange gain of $11 million (three months ended March 31, 2013 unrealized gain of $5 million) was recorded in Other income and charges in relation to these derivatives. These gains recorded in Other income and charges

were largely offset by the realized and unrealized losses on the underlying debt which the derivatives were designated to hedge.
At March 31, 2014, the unrealized gain derived from these FX forwards was $27 million which was recorded in Other assets with the offset reflected as an unrealized gain of $4 million in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and as an unrealized gain of $23 million in Retained earnings. At December 31, 2013, the unrealized gain derived from these FX forwards was $25 million of which $6 million was included in Other current assets and $19 million in Other assets with the offset reflected as an unrealized gain of $5 million in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and as an unrealized gain of $20 million in Retained earnings.
At March 31, 2014, the Company expected that, during the next twelve months, unrealized pre-tax losses of $1 million would be reclassified to Other income and charges.
7 | Stock-based compensation |
At March 31, 2014, the Company had several stock-based compensation plans, including stock option plans, various cash settled liability plans and an employee stock savings plan. These plans resulted in an expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $22 million (three months ended March 31, 2013 $33 million).
Regular options
In the first three months of 2014, under CPs stock option plans, the Company issued 366,050 regular options at the weighted average price of $168.88 per share, based on the closing price on the grant date.
Pursuant to the employee plan, these regular options may be exercised upon vesting, which is between 12 months and 48 months after the grant date, and will expire after 10 years.
Under the fair value method, the fair value of the regular options at the grant date was approximately $17 million. The weighted average fair value assumptions were approximately:

Performance share unit (PSU) plan
In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 163,760 PSUs with a grant date fair value of approximately $25 million. These units attract dividend equivalents in the form of additional units based on the dividends paid on the Companys Common Shares. PSUs vest and are settled in cash, or in CP

common shares approximately three years after the grant date, contingent upon CPs performance (performance factor). The fair value of PSUs is measured, both on the grant date and each subsequent quarter until settlement, using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the performance and market conditions stipulated in the grant.
Deferred share unit (DSU) plan
In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted 46,034 DSUs with a grant date fair value of approximately $7.5 million. DSUs vest over various periods of up to 48 months and are only redeemable for a specified period after employment is terminated. An expense to income for DSUs is recognized over the vesting period for both the initial subscription price and the change in value between reporting periods.
8 | Pensions and other benefits |
In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company made contributions of $19 million (in the three months ended March 31, 2013$30 million) to its defined benefit pension plans. The elements of net periodic benefit cost for defined benefit pension plans and other benefits recognized in the quarter included the following components:

9 | Contingencies |
In the normal course of its operations, the Company becomes involved in various legal actions, including claims relating to injuries and damage to property. The Company maintains provisions it considers to be adequate for such actions. While the final outcome with respect to actions outstanding or pending at March 31, 2014 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 individually and in aggregate.
On July 6, 2013, a train carrying crude oil operated by Montreal Maine and Atlantic Railway (MM&A) derailed and exploded in Lac-Megantic, Quebec on a section of railway line owned by MM&A. The day before CP had interchanged the train to MM&A, but after the interchange MM&A exercised exclusive control over the train.
Following this incident, the Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment, Wildlife and Parks of Quebec issued an order directing named parties to recover the contaminants and to clean up and decontaminate the derailment site. CP was later added as a named party in the administrative action on August 14, 2013.
A class action lawsuit has also been filed in the Superior Court of Quebec on behalf of a class of persons and entities residing in, owning or leasing property in, operating a business in or physically present in Lac-Megantic. The lawsuit seeks damages caused by the derailment including for wrongful deaths, personal injuries, and property damages. CP was added as a defendant on August 16, 2013. In the wake of the derailment and ensuing litigation, MM&A filed for bankruptcy in Canada and the United States.

9 | Contingencies (continued) |
At this early stage in the legal proceedings, any potential liability and the quantum of potential loss cannot be determined. Nevertheless, CP denies liability for MM&As derailment and will vigorously defend itself in both proceedings or any proceeding that may be commenced in the future.
Environmental remediation accruals cover site-specific remediation programs. Environmental remediation accruals are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recorded when the costs to remediate are probable and reasonably estimable.
The accruals for environmental remediation represent CPs best estimate of its probable future obligation and include both asserted and unasserted claims, without reduction for anticipated recoveries from third parties. Although the recorded accruals include CPs best estimate of all probable costs, CPs total environmental remediation costs cannot be predicted with certainty. Accruals for environmental remediation may change from time to time as new information about previously untested sites becomes known, environmental laws and regulations evolve and advances are made in environmental remediation technology. The accruals may also vary as the courts decide legal proceedings against outside parties responsible for contamination. These potential charges, which cannot be quantified at this time, are not expected to be material to CPs financial position, but may materially affect income in the particular period in which a charge is recognized. Costs related to existing, but as yet unknown, or future contamination will be accrued in the period in which they become probable and reasonably estimable.
The expense included in Purchased services and other for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1 million (three months ended March 31, 2013 $1 million). Provisions for environmental remediation costs are recorded in Other long-term liabilities, except for the current portion which is recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The total amount provided at March 31, 2014 was $93 million (December 31, 2013 $ 90 million). Payments are expected to be made over 10 years to 2024.
