Canadian Pacific announces its second-quarter 2009 results

Canadian Pacific announces its second-quarter 2009 results

CALGARY, July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (TSX/NYSE: CP) announced second-quarter net income of $157 million, an increase of two per cent from $155 million in 2008. The impact on net income from a decline in freight volumes was offset by a net gain after tax on the sale of a portion of CP's interest in the Detroit River Tunnel Partnership of $69 million. Diluted earnings per share were $0.93, a decrease of seven per cent from $1.00 in second-quarter 2008.

"The recession continues to have a significant impact on our business and although freight volumes appear to have stabilized, we have not yet seen a sustained recovery in traffic," said Fred Green, President and CEO. "In this economic climate we continue to manage what is in our control and I am pleased with our cost management efforts."

"Our goal is to make sustainable reductions in our overall cost structure and strengthen our balance sheet. Our concentrated efforts to improve critical business processes will drive efficiency and ensure that CP is well-positioned to deliver value in the long term."

For the second-quarter and the first-half of 2009, the results of the Dakota, Minnesota Eastern Railroad (DM E) are fully consolidated with CP's results. For comparison, second-quarter and first-half 2008 results have also been presented on a pro forma basis. In the second quarter and first-half of 2008, DM E earnings were reported as equity income, and pro forma comparisons are provided in order to aid in the evaluation of the underlying earnings trends. Financial data presented on a pro forma basis, a non-GAAP measure, redistributes DM E's operating results from an equity income basis of accounting to a line-by-line consolidation of DM E revenues and expenses.

SUMMARY OF SECOND-QUARTER 2009 COMPARED WITH SECOND-QUARTER 2008

EXCLUDING FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAIN AND LOSS ON LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER SPECIFIED ITEMS ON A PRO FORMA BASIS:

- Total revenues were $1.0 billion, down 21 per cent from $1.3 billion - Operating expenses were $797 million, down 23 percent from $1.0 billion - Income decreased to $100 million from $150 million, or 33 per cent - Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.59 from $0.97, or 39 per cent - Operating ratio improved 120 basis points to 77.9 per cent

SUMMARY OF FIRST-HALF 2009 COMPARED WITH FIRST-HALF 2008

- Net income for the first half of 2009 was $220 million compared with $245 million in 2008, a decrease of 10 per cent.

- Diluted earnings per share were $1.33 down from $1.58 or 16 per cent

EXCLUDING FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAIN AND LOSS ON LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER SPECIFIED ITEMS ON A PRO FORMA BASIS:

- Total revenues decreased 17 per cent to $2.1 billion and operating expenses decreased 15 per cent to $1.7 billion - Income decreased 42 per cent to $154 million from $267 million - Diluted earnings per share were $0.94 down from $1.72 - Operating ratio deteriorated 190 basis points to 82.6 per cent from 80.7 per cent

2009 CAPITAL PROGRAM

CP now expects its capital program in 2009 to be in the range of $800 million to $820 million, an increase from the previous outlook of $720 million to $740 million. This increase is due to a buy-out of operating leases and it is anticipated that the cash impact of this increase will be offset by the proceeds from the sale of other equipment in the latter half of 2009.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAIN AND LOSS ON LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER SPECIFIED ITEMS

CP had a foreign exchange loss on long-term debt of $15 million after tax in the second quarter of 2009, compared with a foreign exchange gain on long-term debt of $5 million after tax in the second quarter of 2008.

As part of a consolidated financing strategy, CP structures its U.S. dollar long-term debt in different taxing jurisdictions. As well, a portion of this debt is designated as a net investment hedge against net investment in U.S. subsidiaries. As a result, the tax on foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt in different taxing jurisdictions can vary significantly.

Other specified items in the second-quarter of 2009 included an after tax gain on the sale of a portion of CP's interest in the Detroit River Tunnel Partnership of $69 million. There was also a gain in the fair value of long-term floating rates notes received in replacement of the investment in Asset Backed Commercial Paper (ABCP) of $3 million after tax. There were no other specified items in the second-quarter of 2008.

For the first six months of 2009, CP had a foreign exchange loss on long-term debt of $6 million after tax, unchanged from the first half of 2008, and there was a charge taken in 2008 to reflect an adjustment to the estimated fair value of ABCP of $15 million after tax that was classified as an other specified item.

Presentation of non-GAAP earnings

CP presents non-GAAP earnings measures in this news release to provide an additional basis for evaluating underlying earnings and liquidity trends in its business that can be compared with prior periods' results of operations. When foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items are excluded from diluted earnings per share, income and income tax expense, these are non-GAAP measures. Additional non-GAAP measures include Operating income, Capital program and Financial data on a pro forma basis.

These non-GAAP earnings measures exclude foreign currency translation effects on long-term debt, which can be volatile and short term. The impact of volatile short-term rate fluctuations on foreign-denominated debt is only realized when long-term debt matures or is settled. A reconciliation of income, excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items, to net income as presented in the financial statements is detailed in the attached Summary of Rail Data. In addition, these non-GAAP measures exclude other specified items (described below) that are not a part of CP's normal ongoing revenues and operating expenses.

Diluted earnings per share, excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items, is referred to in this news release as "adjusted diluted earnings per share". Revenues less operating expenses are referred to as "Operating Income" and Additions to property is referred to as "Capital Program".

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.

Financial data on a pro forma basis redistributes the DM E operating results originally reported on an equity income basis of accounting to a line-by-line consolidation of DM E revenues and expenses. Doing so provides a comparable measure for periods in 2008 that preceded the Surface Transportation Board's approval of the change of control of the DM E on October 30, 2008 following that approval, the results were fully consolidated with CP's operations. A reconciliation of financial data on a pro forma basis to financial data as reported can be found in Management's Discussion and Analysis (Section 6.0 Non-GAAP Earnings, and Section 9.0 Operating expenses before other specified items).

The non-GAAP earnings measures 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.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2009 (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 Limited's ("CP", "the Company" or "Canadian Pacific Railway") 2008 annual consolidated financial statements, except as discussed below and in Note 2 for the adoption of new accounting standards. They do not include all disclosures required under Canadian Generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements.

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.

2 New accounting changes

Goodwill and intangible assets

In February 2008, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") issued accounting standard Section 3064 "Goodwill, and intangible assets", replacing accounting standard Section 3062 "Goodwill and other intangible assets" and accounting standard Section 3450 "Research and development costs". Section 3064 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of intangible assets and goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition. The new Section was applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Company adopted the new standards for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The provisions of Section 3064 were adopted retrospectively, with restatement of prior periods.

As a result of this adoption, the Company has retroactively expensed certain expenditures related to pre-operating periods of a facility, rather than recording them as assets in "Other assets" and "Net properties". The adoption of Section 3064 resulted in a reduction to opening retained income of $7.4 million at January 1, 2008 and $10.4 million at January 1, 2009. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the adoption of this section resulted in an increase to "Purchased services and other" expense of $0.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the adoption of this section resulted in an increase to "Purchased services and other" expense of $0.4 million and a decrease to "Income tax expense" of $0.1 million.

This change also resulted in a $0.01 decrease to previously reported diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Credit risk and the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

On January 20, 2009 the Emerging Issues Committee ("EIC") issued a new abstract EIC 173 "Credit risk and the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities". This abstract concludes that an entity's own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparty should be taken into account when determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments.

This abstract applies to all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in interim and annual financial statements for periods ending on or after January 20, 2009. The adoption of this abstract did not impact the Company's financial statements.

3 Future accounting changes

International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")/U.S. GAAP

On February 13, 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") confirmed that publicly accountable enterprises will be required to adopt IFRS in place of Canadian GAAP for interim and annual reporting purposes for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, unless, as permitted by Canadian securities regulations, registrants were to adopt U.S. GAAP on or before this date. CP has determined that, commencing on January 1, 2010, it will adopt U.S. GAAP for its financial reporting. As a result, CP will not be adopting IFRS in 2011.

Business combinations, consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interests

In January 2009, the CICA issued three new standards:

Business combinations, Section 1582

This section replaces the former Section 1581 "Business combinations" and provides the Canadian equivalent to International Financial Reporting Standard IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" (January 2008). The new standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize most of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction at fair value including contingent assets and liabilities; and recognize and measure goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain in the case of a bargain purchase.

Acquisition-related costs are to be expensed.

Consolidated financial statements, Section 1601 and Non-controlling interests, Section 1602

These two sections replace Section 1600 "Consolidated financial statements". Section 1601 "Consolidated financial statements" carries forward guidance from Section 1600 "Consolidated financial statements" with the exception of non-controlling interests which are addressed in a separate section. Section 1602 "Non-controlling interests" requires the Company to report non-controlling interests within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent, and transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests as equity transactions.

All three standards are effective January 1, 2011 however, adoption of these standards by the Company is not expected given the decision to adopt U.S. GAAP. Early adoption of all three standards is permitted.

4 Gain on sale of partnership interest

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company completed a sale of a portion of its investment in the Detroit River Tunnel Partnership ("DRTP") to its existing partner, reducing the Company's ownership from 50% to 16.5%. The sale was agreed to on March 31, 2009 but was subject to regulatory approval, which was received during the second quarter. The proceeds received in the quarter from the transaction were $110 million. Additional proceeds of $22 million are contingent on achieving certain future freight volumes through the tunnel, and have not been recognized. The gain on this transaction was $81.2 million ($68.7 million after tax). Effective April 1 2009, the Company discontinued proportionate consolidation and is accounting for its remaining investment in the DRTP under the equity method of accounting.

8 Income taxes

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, legislation was substantively enacted to reduce British Columbian provincial income tax rates. As a result of these changes, the Company recorded an $11.2 million benefit in future tax liability and income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009, related to the revaluation of its future income tax balances as at December 31, 2008.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, legislation was substantively enacted to reduce provincial income tax rates. As a result of these changes, the Company recorded a $15.7 million benefit in future tax liability and income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008, related to the revaluation of its future income tax balances as at December 31, 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 the Company recorded a $5.1 million benefit in future income tax liability and income tax expense.

Cash taxes paid for the three months ended June 30, 2009, were $0.3 million (three months ended June 30, 2008 - $13.2 million). Cash taxes paid in the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $3.6 million (six months ended June 30, 2008 - $57.9 million).

9 Earnings per share

At June 30, 2009, the number of shares outstanding was 168.1 million (June 30, 2008 - 153.8 million).

Basic earnings per share have been calculated using net income for the period divided by the weighted average number of CPRL shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share have been calculated using the treasury stock method, which assumes that any proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money options would be used to purchase Common Shares at the average market price for the period.

The number of shares used in earnings per share calculations is reconciled as follows:

For the three months For the six months ended June 30 ended June 30 (in millions) 2009 2008 2009 2008 ---------------------- ----------------------

Weighted average shares outstanding 168.0 153.7 164.5 153.6 Dilutive effect of stock options 0.4 1.4 0.2 1.4 ---------------------- ---------------------- Weighted average diluted shares outstanding 168.4 155.1 164.7 155.0 ---------------------- ---------------------- (in dollars)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, 2,809,967 and 3,101,592 options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were not dilutive (three and six months ended June 30, 2008 - 613,933 and 617,825).

10 Restructuring and environmental remediation

At June 30, 2009, the provision for restructuring and environmental remediation was $234.7 million (December 31, 2008 - $251.2 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.

Set out below is a reconciliation of CP's liabilities associated with restructuring and environmental remediation programs:

11 Accounts receivable

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company's accounts receivable securitization program was terminated. As a result of this termination, in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet, Accounts receivable and other current assets increased by $120.0 million and in the consolidated statement of cash flows the Change in non-cash working capital balances related to operations reflected an outflow of $120.0 million. As well, the related servicing asset and liability which had previously been recognized are no longer required to be maintained and were settled as part of the termination.

Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad Corporation ("DM&E")

Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad Corporation was acquired on October 4, 2007 and is wholly-owned by the Company. The purchase was subject to review and approval by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board ("STB"), during which time the shares of DM&E were placed in a voting trust. The STB approved the purchase effective on October 30, 2008, at which time the Company assumed control of the DM&E.

Subsequent to October 30, 2008 the results of DM&E are consolidated with the Company on a line-by-line basis.

The Company accounted for its investment in DM&E using the equity method until the acquisition was approved by the STB and the Company assumed control. Equity income from the Company's investment in DM&E, which is recorded net of tax, was $13.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008, and $24.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and is recorded in "Equity income in Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad Corporation" on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Gain/loss in fair value of long-term floating rate notes/asset-backed commercial paper ("ABCP")

At June 30, 2009 the Company held replacement long-term floating rate notes, with a total settlement value of $130.5 million, issued as a result of the restructuring discussed below. At December 31, 2008, the Company held the original ABCP issued by a number of trusts with an original cost of $143.6 million. At the dates the Company acquired these investments they were rated R1 (High) by DBRS Limited ("DBRS"), the highest credit rating issued for commercial paper, and backed by R1 (High) rated assets and liquidity agreements. These investments matured during the third quarter of 2007 but, as a result of liquidity issues in the ABCP market, did not settle on maturity nor have they traded in an active market since. As a result, the Company classified its ABCP as held for trading long-term investments after initially classifying them as Cash and cash equivalents. The long- term floating rate notes received in replacement of ABCP have also been classified as held for trading long-term investments.

On January 12, 2009, a Canadian Court granted an order for the implementation of a restructuring plan for the ABCP and the restructuring was completed on January 21, 2009. As a result, CP received new replacement long-term floating rate notes with a total settlement value of $142.8 million.

During the second quarter of 2009 the Company received $12.3 million in partial redemption of its Master Asset Vehicle ("MAV") 3 Class 9 Traditional Asset ("TA") Tracking notes and MAV 2 Class 8 Ineligible Assets ("IA") Tracking notes representing 100% of the original investment value of the redeemed notes. As a result of the restructuring and the subsequent redemptions of notes, at June 30, 2009 the Company held replacement long-term floating rate notes with settlement values as follows:

- $0.2 million MAV 3 Class 9 TA Tracking notes with expected repayments over approximately seven years.

- $118.2 million MAV 2 notes with eligible assets represented by a combination of leveraged collateralized debt, synthetic assets and traditional securitized assets with expected repayments over approximately five to eight years:

- Class A-1: $59.3 million - Class A-2: $45.9 million - Class B: $8.3 million - Class C: $3.5 million - Class 14: $1.2 million

- $12.1 million MAV 2 IA Tracking notes representing assets that have an exposure to US mortgages and sub-prime mortgages with expected repayments over approximately four to 20 years:

- Class 3: $0.5 million - Class 6: $5.5 million - Class 7: $3.4 million - Class 8: $0.1 million - Class 13: $2.6 million

The MAV 2 Class A-1 notes have received an A rating by DBRS. In addition, the MAV 2 Class A-2 notes have also received an A rating by DBRS but are currently under a negative watch.

The valuation technique used by the Company to estimate the fair value of its investment in long-term floating rate notes at June 30, 2009 and ABCP at December 31, 2008, incorporates probability weighted discounted cash flows considering the best available public information regarding market conditions and other factors that a market participant would consider for such investments. The assumptions used in determining the estimated fair value reflect the details included in the Information Statement issued by the pan-Canadian restructuring committee and subsequent court-appointed Monitor's Reports, the terms of the notes issued in the restructuring and the risks associated with the long-term floating rate notes. The interest rates and maturities of the various long-term floating rate notes and ABCP, discount rates and credit losses modelled at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively are:

June 30, 2009 Probability weighted average coupon interest Nil% rate Weighted average discount rate 8.3% Expected repayments of long-term floating four to 20 years rate notes Credit losses MAV 3 Class 9 notes: nil MAV 2 eligible asset notes: nil to 100% MAV 2 IA notes: 25%

December 31, 2008 Probability weighted average coupon interest 2.2% rate Weighted average discount rate 9.1% Expected repayments of ABCP notes five to eight years, other than certain tracking notes to be paid down on restructuring

Credit losses Notes expected to be rated (1): nil to 25% Notes not expected to be rated (2): 25 to 100%

(1) TA Tracking, Class A-1 and Class A-2 senior notes and IA Tracking notes.

(2) Class B and Class C subordinated notes and IA Tracking notes.

Coupon interest rates and credit losses vary by each of the different replacement long-term floating rate notes as each has different risks. Coupon interest rates and credit losses also vary by the different probable cash flow scenarios that have been modelled.

Discount rates vary dependent upon the credit rating of the replacement long-term floating rate notes. Discount rates have been estimated using Government of Canada benchmark rates plus expected spreads for similarly rated instruments with similar maturities and structure.

The expected repayments vary by different replacement long-term floating rate notes as a result of the expected maturity of the underlying assets.

One of the cash flow scenarios modelled is a liquidation scenario whereby recovery of the Company's investment is through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the notes. While the likelihood is remote, there remains a possibility that a liquidation scenario may occur even following the successful restructuring of the ABCP.

The probability weighted discounted cash flows resulted in an estimated fair value of the Company's long-term floating rate notes of $65.2 million at June 30, 2009 (December 31, 2008 - ABCP $72.7 million). The reduction in the estimated fair value reflects the redemption at par of the MAV 3 Class 9 TA Tracking notes and MAV 2 Class 8 IA Tracking notes, offset by accretion and changes in market assumptions. The change in the estimated fair value in the second quarter of 2009 and in the six months to June 30, 2009 resulted in a gain of $4.7 million excluding accretion (second quarter 2008 - $nil, six months to June 30, 2008 - $21.3 million charge against income). The change in the original cost and estimated fair value of the Company's long-term floating rate notes is as follows:

Original Estimated cost fair value -----------------------

As at January 1, 2009 $ 143.6 $ 72.7 Change due to restructuring, January 21, 2009 (0.8) - ----------------------- As at March 31, 2009 142.8 72.7 Redemption of notes (12.3) (7.9) Accretion - 0.1 Change in market assumptions - 0.3 ----------------------- As at June 30, 2009 $ 130.5 $ 65.2 ----------------------- -----------------------

Sensitivity analysis is presented below for key assumptions:

Change in fair value of long-term floating (in millions) rate notes ------------ Coupon Interest rate 50 basis point increase $ 2.1 50 basis point decrease Nil(1)

Discount rate 50 basis point increase $ (2.1) 50 basis point decrease $ 2.2 ------------ ------------ (1) Notes are currently expected to earn no interest.

Continuing uncertainties regarding the value of the assets which underlie the long-term floating rate notes and the amount and timing of cash flows and the outcome of the restructuring could give rise to a further material change in the value of the Company's investment in long-term floating rate notes which could impact the Company's near-term earnings.

13 Long-term debt

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company issued US$350 million 7.25% 10-year Notes for net proceeds of CDN$408.5 million. The Notes are unsecured, but carry a negative pledge. The proceeds from this offering contributed to the repurchase of debt with a carrying amount of $555.3 million pursuant to a tender offer for a total cost of $571.9 million. Upon repurchase of the debt a net loss of $16.6 million was recognized during the quarter to "Other income and charges". The loss consisted largely of premiums paid to bond holders to tender their debt, and the write-off of unamortized fees, partly offset by a fair value adjustment (gain) recognized on the unwind of interest rate swaps associated with the 6.250% Notes that were repurchased (see Note 16). The following table summarizes the principal amount, carrying amount and cost to redeem debt repurchased during the quarter:

Principal Carrying Cost Amount Amount to Redeem (in millions) in USD in CDN in CDN ------------------------------------

6.250% Notes due October 15, 2011 $ 154.3 $ 184.1 $ 184.6 5.75% Notes due May 15, 2013 298.6 342.7 359.1 6.50% Notes due May 15, 2018 24.8* 28.5 28.2 ------------------------------------ Total debt tendered $ 477.7 $ 555.3 $ 571.9 ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ * Includes US$2.7 million principal amount of debt repurchased prior to commencement of the debt tender.

On February 3, 2009, CP filed a final prospectus offering for sale to the public, primarily in Canada and the U.S., up to 13,900,000 CP common shares at a price of $36.75 per share. The offering closed on February 11, 2009, at which time CP issued 13,900,000 common shares, including 1,300,000 common shares issued under the provisions of an over-allotment option available to the underwriters of the common share offering, for gross proceeds of approximately $511 million (proceeds net of fees and issue costs were $488.9 million).

16 Financial instruments

Foreign exchange forward contracts

In June 2007, the Company entered into a currency forward to set the exchange rate on US$400 million 6.250% Notes due 2011. This derivative guarantees the amount of Canadian dollars that the Company will repay when its US$400 million 6.250% Note matures in October 2011. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a loss of $30.9 million and $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 (second quarter 2008 an unrealized loss of $9.7 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 an unrealized gain of $4.2 million) to "Foreign exchange gain (loss) on long-term debt" related to the currency forward. These represent both realized and unrealized losses.

During the first quarter of 2009, CP unwound and settled US$25 million of the US$400 million currency forward for total proceeds of $4.5 million received in the second quarter. In the second quarter of 2009, a further US$275 million of the currency forward was unwound and settled for total proceeds of $26.6 million.

At June 30, 2009, the unrealized gain on the remaining currency forward of $9.4 million (December 31, 2008 - $57.3 million) was included in "Other assets".

Interest rate management

During the second quarter of 2009, CP unwound its outstanding interest rate swap agreements for total proceeds of $16.8 million.

These agreements were classified as fair value hedges related to debt of US$200 million. The swap agreements converted a portion of the Company's fixed-interest-rate liability into a variable-rate liability for the 6.250% Notes. The gain was deferred as a fair value adjustment to the underlying debt that was hedged and will be amortized to "Net interest expense" until such time that the 6.250% Notes are repaid.

Prior to the unwind, the Company recorded a gain of $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 (2008 - $0.9 million) and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 (six months ended June 30, 2008 - $1.1 million) to "Net interest expense".

Subsequent to the unwinding of this swap a portion of the underlying 6.250% Notes were repurchased in the second quarter and, as a result, a pro rata share of the fair value adjustment amounting to a $6.5 million gain was recognized immediately as part of the net loss on repurchase of debt (see Note 13).

Stock-based compensation expense management

To minimize the volatility to compensation expense created by changes in share price, the Company entered into a Total Return Swap ("TRS") to reduce the volatility and total cost to the Company over time of three types of stock-based compensation programs: share appreciation rights ("SARs"), deferred share units ("DSUs"), and restricted share units ("RSUs"). The TRS is a derivative that provides price appreciation and dividends, in return for a charge by the counterparty. The swaps were intended to minimize volatility to "Compensation and benefits" expense by providing a gain to substantially offset increased compensation expense as the share price increased and a loss to offset reduced compensation expense when the share price falls. If stock-based compensation share units fall out of the money after entering the program, the loss associated with the swap would no longer be offset by any compensation expense reductions, which would reduce the effectiveness of the swap.

"Compensation and benefits" expense on our Consolidated Statement of Income included an unrealized gain on these swaps of $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2009 and a net gain of $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 which was inclusive of both realized losses and unrealized gains (unrealized gain of $3.3 million for the second quarter 2008 and $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008). During the first quarter of 2009, in order to improve the effectiveness of the TRS in mitigating the volatility of stock-based compensation programs, CP unwound a portion of the program for a total cost of $31.1 million that was settled in the second quarter of 2009. At June 30, 2009, the unrealized loss on the remaining TRS of $33.9 million was included in "Deferred liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet (December 31, 2008 - $67.9 million).

Fuel price management

At June 30, 2009, the Company had crude futures contracts, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, to purchase approximately 90,000 barrels during the remainder of 2009 at average quarterly prices of US$38.19 per barrel. This represents approximately 3% of estimated fuel purchases for the remainder of 2009. At June 30, 2009, the unrealized gain on these futures contracts was $3.5 million (December 31, 2008 - $3.2 million) and was reflected in "Other" current assets with the offset, net of tax, reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had foreign exchange ("FX") forward contracts (in conjunction with the crude purchases above), which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, totalling US$2.9 million for the remainder of 2009 at exchange rates ranging from 1.2293 to 1.2306. At June 30, 2009, the unrealized loss on these forward contracts was $0.3 million (December 31, 2008 - loss of $0.1 million) and was recognized in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" with the offset, net of tax, reflected in "AOCI" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had diesel futures contracts, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, to purchase approximately 177,000 barrels during the period July 2009 to June 2010 at average quarterly prices of US$73.41 per barrel. This represents approximately 3% of estimated fuel purchases for this period. At June 30, 2009, the unrealized gain on these futures contracts was $1.6 million (December 31, 2008 - unrealized loss $4.5 million) and was reflected in "Other" current assets with the offset, net of tax, reflected in "AOCI" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In addition at June 30, 2009, the Company had heating oil crack spread futures contracts which were not designated nor accounted for as cash flow hedges, to purchase approximately 375,000 barrels during the third quarter of 2009 at an average price of US$5.91 per barrel.

This represents approximately 25% of estimated fuel purchases in the quarter. At June 30, 2009, the unrealized gain on these futures contracts was $0.1 million and has been recognized in income in "Fuel" expense.

For the second quarter of 2009, "Fuel" expense was decreased by $0.9 million as a result of realized gains arising from settled swaps. During the quarter, there were minimal gains realized on FX forward contracts. For the second quarter of 2008, "Fuel" expense was reduced by $5.2 million as a result of realized gains of $5.8 million arising from settled swaps, partially offset by realized losses of $0.6 million arising from settled FX forward contracts.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, "Fuel" expense was increased by $4.8 million as a result of realized losses arising from settled swaps. During the first six months, there were minimal gains realized on FX forward contracts. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, "Fuel" expense was reduced by $8.8 million as a result of realized gains of $10.1 million arising from settled swaps, partially offset by realized losses of $1.3 million arising from settled FX forward contracts.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the possibility that a customer or counterparty will fail to fulfil its obligations under a contract and as a result, create a financial loss for the Company. The Company's credit risk regarding its investment in long-term floating rate notes are discussed in more detail in Note 12.

Credit risk management

The railway industry services predominantly financially established customers and the Company has experienced limited financial loss with respect to credit risk. The credit worthiness of customers is assessed using credit scores supplied by a third party, and through direct monitoring of their financial well-being on a continual basis.

The Company establishes guidelines for customer credit limits and should thresholds in these areas be reached, appropriate precautions are taken to improve collectibility. Pursuant to their respective terms, accounts receivable are aged as follows:

Counterparties for derivative and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions, which are monitored on an ongoing basis. Counterparty credit assessments are based on the financial health of the institutions and their credit ratings from external agencies. With the exception of long-term floating rate notes (Note 12), the Company does not anticipate non-performance that would materially impact the Company's financial statements.

With the exception of long-term floating rate notes (Note 12) and a significant customer (Note 19), the Company believes there are no significant concentrations of credit risk.

17 Stock-based compensation

In the first six months of 2009, under CP's stock option plans, the Company issued 747,800 options to purchase Common Shares at the weighted average price of $36.29 per share, based on the closing price on the grant date. In tandem with these options, 747,450 stock appreciation rights were issued at the weighted average exercise price of $36.29.

Pursuant to the employee plan, options may be exercised upon vesting, which is between 24 months and 36 months after the grant date, and will expire after 10 years. Some options only vest if certain performance targets are achieved and expire approximately five years after the grant date.

The following is a summary of the Company's fixed stock option plans as of June 30, 2009 (including options granted under the Directors' Stock Option Plan, which was suspended in 2003):

2009 2008 ----------------------- ----------------------- Weighted Weighted average average Number of exercise Number of exercise options price options price ----------------------- -----------------------

Outstanding, January 1 7,671,143 $ 49.52 6,981,108 $ 43.97 New options granted 747,800 36.29 1,360,400 71.59 Exercised (333,550) 30.60 (493,460) 34.40 Forfeited (188,625) 59.17 (85,050) 47.09 ----------- ----------- Outstanding, June 30 7,896,768 48.84 7,762,998 $ 49.39 ----------------------- ----------------------- ----------------------- ----------------------- Options exercisable at June 30 5,036,718 $ 42.68 4,637,348 $ 38.33 ----------------------- ----------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------

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.

Under the fair value method, the fair value of options at the grant date was $5.4 million for options issued in the first six months of 2009 (first six months of 2008 - $14.1 million). The weighted average fair value assumptions were approximately:

For the six months ended June 30 2009 2008 -----------------------

Expected option life (years) 5.00 4.39 Risk-free interest rate 2.14% 3.54% Expected stock price volatility 30% 22% Expected annual dividends per share $ 0.99 $ 0.99 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $ 7.24 $ 15.12 ----------------------- -----------------------

Performance share units

In the first six months of 2009, the Company issued 404,580 Performance Share Units ("PSUs"). PSUs vest and are settled in cash approximately three years after the grant date contingent upon CP's performance (performance factor). The expense related to the PSUs is accrued based on the price of Common Shares at the end of the period and the anticipated performance factor, over the vesting period. In the first six months of 2009, the expense recognized by PSUs was $6.8 million.

18 Pensions and other benefits

The total benefit cost for the Company's defined benefit pension plans and post-retirement benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2009, was $2.2 million (three months ended June 30, 2008 - $19.9 million) and for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was $13.3 million (six months ended June 30, 2008 - $39.0 million).

19 Significant customer

During the first six months of 2009, one customer comprised 8.2% of total revenue (first six months of 2008 - 12.3%). At June 30, 2009, that same customer represented 4.4% of total accounts receivable (June 30, 2008 - 5.4%).

20 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 June 30, 2009, cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Capital commitments

At June 30, 2009, the Company had multi-year capital commitments of $785.5 million, mainly for locomotive overhaul agreements, in the form of signed contracts. Payments for these commitments are due in 2009 through 2028.

Operating lease commitments

At June 30, 2009, minimum payments under operating leases were estimated at $1,045.3 million in aggregate, with annual payments in each of the next five years of: balance of 2009 - $79.2 million; 2010 - $150.3 million; 2011 - $128.7 million; 2012 - $114.8 million; 2013 - $100.1 million.

Guarantees

At June 30, 2009, the Company had residual value guarantees on operating lease commitments of $183.4 million. The maximum amount that could be payable under these and all of the Company's 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 June 30, 2009, these accruals amounted to $7.5 million.

21 Capital disclosures

The Company monitors capital using a number of key financial metrics, including: - total debt to total capitalization; and - interest-coverage ratio: earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") to net interest expense.

Both of these metrics have no standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures of other companies.

The calculations for the aforementioned key financial metrics are as follows:

Total debt to total capitalization ---------------------------------- Total debt, which is a non-GAAP measure, is the sum of long-term debt, long-term debt maturing within one year and short-term borrowing. This sum is divided by total debt plus total shareholders' equity as presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Interest coverage ratio ----------------------- EBIT, which is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated, on a twelve month rolling basis, as revenues less operating expenses, less other income and charges, plus equity income in DM&E, divided by net interest expense. The ratio excludes changes in the estimated fair value of the Company's investment in long-term floating rate notes/ABCP and the gain on sale of partnership interest as these are not in the normal course of business.

The following table illustrates the financial metrics and their corresponding guidelines currently in place:

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Management June 30, June 30, (in millions) targets 2009 2008 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term debt $ 3,977.8 $ 4,016.8 Long-term debt maturing within one year 386.6 238.4 Short-term borrowing 55.6 255.0 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Total debt(1) $ 4,420.0 $ 4,510.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) The balance is calculated on a rolling twelve-month basis.

The Company remains in compliance with all external financial covenants.

The Company's financial objectives and strategy as described above have remained substantially unchanged over the last two fiscal years.

The objectives are reviewed on an annual basis and financial metrics and their management targets are monitored on a quarterly basis. In 2009, the Company changed one of its measures used to monitor capital from net-debt to net-debt-plus-equity ratio to total debt to total capitalization to better align with a more common convention used by investors. The interest coverage ratio has decreased during the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2009 due to a reduction in year-over-year earnings and an increase in net interest expense associated with the debt assumed in the acquisition of the DM&E. The interest coverage ratio for the period is below the management target provided due to lower volumes as a result of the global recession that occurred during the period.

In addition, CP issued 13,900,000 common shares generating net proceeds of $488.9 million and monetized certain assets to reduce indebtedness and further augment its cash position due to ongoing uncertainty around the timing of the economic recovery.

The Company is also subject to a financial covenant of funded debt to total capitalization in the revolver loan agreement. Performance to this financial covenant is well within permitted limits.
