"We have come through an extraordinary year of economic challenges and we met these with focused productivity initiatives that have delivered sustainable improvements," said
For the fourth-quarter and full year 2009, the results of the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad (DM&E) are fully consolidated with CP's results. For the first ten months of 2008, however, DM&E earnings were reported as equity income on one line of the income statement. In order to aid in the evaluation of the underlying earnings trends, 2008 results have also been presented on a pro forma basis, by redistributing DM&E's operating results from an equity income basis of accounting to a line-by-line consolidation of DM&E revenues and expenses. This pro forma financial data presentation is a non-GAAP measure.
FOURTH-QUARTER 2009 COMPARED WITH FOURTH-QUARTER 2008 EXCLUDING FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAIN AND LOSS ON LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER SPECIFIED ITEMS ON A PRO FORMA BASIS:
- Total revenues were $1.1 billion, down 16 per cent from $1.3 billion
- Operating expenses were $853 million, down 17 per cent from
$1.0 billion
- Operating income decreased to $269 million from $304 million, or
12 per cent
- Operating ratio improved 120 basis points to 76.0 per cent
- Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.94 from $1.07, or

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. Although the taxes on foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt generally offset one another, because they may be in different tax jurisdictions, the resulting net tax can vary significantly.
In fourth-quarter 2009, CP recorded a

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 become 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 and the tax thereon, 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. 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. 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.
Diluted earnings per share, excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items, is also 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.
Pro forma data provides comparable measures for periods in 2008 that preceded the Surface Transportation Board's approval of the change of control of the DM&E on
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.
Note on forward-looking information
This news release contains certain forward-looking statements relating but not limited to our operations, pension obligations and tax rates. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information as actual results may differ materially.
By its nature, CP's forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following factors: changes in business strategies; general North American and global economic, credit and business conditions; risks in agricultural production such as weather conditions and insect populations; 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, including regulation of rates; changes in taxes and tax rates; potential increases in maintenance and operating costs; uncertainties of litigation; labour disputes; risks and liabilities arising from derailments; transportation of dangerous goods, timing of completion of capital and maintenance projects; currency and interest rate fluctuations; effects of changes in market conditions and discount rates on the financial position of pension plans and investments, including ABCP; 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 elsewhere in this news release with the particular forward-looking statement in question.
Except as required by law, CP undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
DECEMBER 31, 2009
(unaudited)
1 Basis of presentation
This unaudited interim consolidated financial information has 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 interim and 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 Accounting changes
Pension prior service costs
During 2009, CP changed its accounting policy for the treatment of
prior service pension costs for unionized employees. In previous
periods CP had amortized these costs over the expected average
remaining service period for employees. CP now amortizes these
costs over the remaining contract term. The change in policy was made
to provide more relevant information by amortizing the costs based on
the contract term as CP generally renegotiates union contracts on a
routine and consistent basis that is substantially shorter than the
expected average remaining service period. The change has been
accounted for on a retrospective basis. As a result of the change the
following increases (decreases) to financial statement line items
occurred:

Locomotive overhauls
During 2009, CP changed its accounting policy for the treatment of
locomotive overhaul costs. In prior periods CP had capitalized such
costs and depreciated them over the expected economic life of the
overhaul. These costs are now expensed. Management has judged
that the new policy is preferable because it better represents the
evolving nature of locomotive overhauls. This policy aligns the
treatment of locomotive costs with CP's current operational
practices, which has changed over recent years and gradually shifted
to be more in the nature of a repair. The change has been accounted
for on a retrospective basis. As a result of the change, the
following increases (decreases) to financial statement line items

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 "Prepaid pension costs and
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 December 31, 2008, the adoption of this section resulted
in an increase to "Purchased services and other" expense of
$1.2 million and a decrease to "Income tax expense" of $0.5 million.
This change did not impact previously reported basic and diluted
earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2008. For the year ended
December 31, 2008, the adoption of this section resulted in an
increase to "Purchased services and other" expense of $5.0 million
and a decrease to "Income tax expense" of $2.0 million. This change
also resulted in a $0.02 decrease to previously reported basic
earnings per share and $0.02 decrease to previously reported diluted
earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 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 Loss on termination of lease with shortline railway
During the fourth quarter of 2009 the Company made a payment of
approximately $73 million to terminate a contract with a lessee in
order to cease through-train operations over the CP owned rail
branchline between Smiths Falls and Sudbury. The contract with the
lessee included the operation of a minimum number of CP freight
trains over the leased branchline. The loss on the transaction
recognized in the fourth quarter was $54.5 million ($37.6 million
after tax).

In the fourth quarter of 2009, legislation was enacted to reduce
Ontario provincial income tax rates. Income tax expense for the
fourth quarter reflects the impact of a $47.6 million benefit related
to the revaluation of its future income tax balances as at
December 31, 2008, as well as an income tax settlement related to a
prior year.
6 Pensions and other benefits
During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company chose to accelerate
funding of future pension obligations through a voluntary prepayment
of approximately $500 million to the Company's defined benefit
pension plans.
7 Long-term debt
During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company issued $400 million of
6.45% Notes due November 17, 2039. Net proceeds from this offering
were $397.8 million. The notes are unsecured.
The Company also issued $67.7 million of 5.57% Secured Notes due
December 24, 2024. Net proceeds from this offering were
$66.7 million. The notes are secured by certain equipment.

(1) Certain 2008 figures have been restated to conform with the change of
accounting policies for the amortization of prior service pension
costs for unionized employees and expensing of locomotive overhaul
costs as adopted in the fourth quarter of 2009 on a retrospective
basis.
(2) Pro forma basis redistributes DM&E equity income to a line-by-line
consolidation of DM&E results for 2008. See note on non-GAAP earnings
measures included in this press release.
(3) Certain 2008 figures have been restated for the adoption of CICA
accounting standard 3064, which requires the expensing of certain
expenditures related to pre-operating periods of a facility rather
than recording them as assets as adopted in the first quarter of 2009
on a retrospective basis.
(4) Certain prior period figures have been revised to conform with
current presentation.
(5) The pro forma total operating expenses per GTM for 2008 is a non-GAAP
measure. See note on non-GAAP earnings measures included in this
press release.
(6) Includes gallons of fuel consumed from freight, yard and commuter
service but excludes fuel used in capital projects and other
non-freight activities.
(7) Train miles decreased in response to the reduced volumes. Management
reduced train starts by consolidating trains and running longer
heavier trains which also decreased overall train miles.
