Immediate Release: July 17, 2014
CP reports Q2-2014 net income of C$371M or C$2.11 per diluted share
Delivers strongest financial results in companys history
Calgary, AB - Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) today announced record Q2 2014 financial results.
Reported net income in the second quarter was $371 million, or $2.11 per diluted share, versus $252 million, or $1.43 per share, in the second quarter of 2013. This represents a 48 per cent year-over-year improvement in earnings per share.
SECOND-QUARTER 2014 RESULTS COMPARED WITH SECOND-QUARTER 2013:
| Total revenues were $1,681 million, an increase of 12 per cent |
| Operating expenses were $1,094 million, an increase of 2 per cent |
| Operating income was $587 million, an increase of 40 per cent |
| Operating ratio was 65.1 per cent, a 680 basis point improvement |
CP delivered another record quarter, said E. Hunter Harrison, CPs Chief Executive Officer. The team has made great strides in my two years at CP and they continue to demonstrate resiliency by delivering these results despite continued operational challenges in the US Midwest after a devastating winter. The future is very promising for the railroad as we transition towards leveraging our lower cost structure and improved service.

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY LIMITED
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2014
(unaudited)
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 accounting principles generally accepted 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.
2 | Future accounting changes |
Reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, an amendment to FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 205 and Topic 360. The update amends the definition of a discontinued operation in Topic 205, expands disclosure requirements for transactions that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose information about individually significant components that are disposed of or held for sale and do not qualify as discontinued operations. In addition, an entity is required to separately present assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods and separately present assets and liabilities of assets held for sale in the initial period in which the disposal group is classified as held for sale on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. For each period in which assets and liabilities are separately presented on the consolidated balance sheets, those amounts should not be offset and presented as a single amount. This ASU will be effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014, and will be applied prospectively. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact to the Companys financial statements.
Revenue from contracts with customers
In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a new FASB ASC, Topic 606, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605 and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. This new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about revenue to help users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This ASU will be effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt the ASU. The Company has not, at this time, ascertained the full impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this new standard but does not expect the impact to be material.

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 28% (three and six months ended June 30, 2013 27% and 26%, respectively). The lower rate in 2013 was primarily the result of a benefit recognized for a U.S. federal track maintenance credit of $6 million for 2012 enacted in the first quarter of 2013.
5 | Earnings per share |
At June 30, 2014, the number of shares outstanding was 172.8 million (June 30, 2013 175.0 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:

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.

8 | 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 June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 - $5,572 million) and a carrying value of $4,725 million at June 30, 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.
B. | Financial risk management |
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 Consolidated Balance Sheet, 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.

8 | Financial instruments (continued) |
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 and six months ended June 30, 2014 was an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $119 million and a loss of $12 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2013 unrealized foreign exchange loss of $110 million and $177 million, respectively). There was no ineffectiveness during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and comparative periods.
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 June 30, 2014, the Company had no remaining FX forward contracts to fix the exchange rate on U.S. denominated debt maturities. 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 were accounted for as cash flow hedges, guaranteed the amount of Canadian dollars that the Company would 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 June 30, 2014, the Company de-designated and settled prior to maturity the FX forward contracts related to the repayment of its 6.50% Notes due in May 2018 and its 7.25% Notes due in May 2019 for proceeds of $17 million to be settled in the third quarter of 2014.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the combined realized and unrealized foreign exchange loss was $8 million and the combined realized and unrealized foreign exchange gain was $3 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2013 unrealized gains of $10 million and $15 million, respectively), were recorded in Other income and charges in relation to these derivatives. Gains recorded in Other income and charges were largely offset by losses on the underlying debt which the derivatives were designated to hedge. Similarly, losses were largely offset by gains on the underlying debt.
At June 30, 2014, the realized gain derived from these FX forwards was $17 million which was recorded in Accounts receivables with the offset reflected as realized gains of $3 million in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and $14 million in Retained earnings. At December 31, 2013, the unrealized gains 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 offsets reflected as unrealized gains of $5 million in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and $20 million in Retained earnings.
Amounts remaining in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2014 will be amortized to Other income and charges until the underlying debts which were hedged are repaid.
At June 30, 2014, the Company expected that, during the next twelve months, a pre-tax gain of $1 million would be reclassified to Other income and charges.

9 | Stock-based compensation |
At June 30, 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 of $39 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and an expense of $61 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (three and six months ended June 30, 2013, an expense of $10 million and $43 million, respectively).
Regular options
In the six months ended June 30, 2014, under CPs stock option plans, the Company issued 375,430 regular options at the weighted-average price of $169.00 per share, based on the closing price on the grant date.
Pursuant to the employee plans, these regular options may be exercised upon vesting, which is between 12 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 $17 million. The weighted-average fair value assumptions were approximately:

Performance share unit (PSU) plan
In the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 165,390 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 factor and market conditions stipulated in the grant.
Deferred share unit (DSU) plan
In the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted 49,846 DSUs with a grant date fair value of approximately $8 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 for DSUs is recognized over the vesting period for both the initial subscription price and the change in value between reporting periods.
Restricted share unit (RSU) plan
In the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted 15,641 RSUs with a grant date fair value of approximately $3 million. RSUs are subject to time vesting over 36 months. An expense for RSUs is recognized over the vesting period for both the initial subscription price and the change in value between reporting periods.

11 | 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, 2014 cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that their resolution will not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations individually and in aggregate.
Legal proceedings related to Lac-Megantic rail accident
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 a 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 Minster 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. CP was later added as a named party in the administrative action on August 14, 2013.
A class action 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 law-suit seeks damage

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.
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 liabilities
Environmental remediation accruals cover site-specific remediation programs. 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. Environmental remediation accruals are measured on an undiscounted basis unless a reliably determinable estimate as to amount and timing of costs can be established. The accruals are recorded when the costs to remediate are probable and reasonably estimable. Certain future costs to monitor sites are discounted at a risk free rate. 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 and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $nil and $1 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2013 $nil and expense of $1 million, respectively). 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 June 30, 2014 was $89 million (December 31, 2013 $90 million). Payments are expected to be made over 10 years to 2024.

Canadian Pacific Railway Limited, through its subsidiaries, operates a transcontinental railway in Canada and the United States (U.S.) and provides logistics and supply chain expertise. CP provides rail and intermodal transportation services over a network of approximately 13,700 miles, serving the principal business centres of Canada from Montreal, Quebec, to Vancouver, British Columbia (B.C.), and the U.S. Northeast and Midwest regions. Our railway feeds directly into the U.S. heartland from the East and West coasts. Agreements with other carriers extend the Companys market reach east of Montreal in Canada, throughout the U.S. and into Mexico. The Company transports bulk commodities, merchandise freight and intermodal traffic. Bulk commodities include Canadian grain, U.S. grain, coal, potash, and fertilizers and sulphur. Merchandise freight consists of finished vehicles and automotive parts, chemicals and plastics, crude oil, forest products, and metals, minerals, and consumer products. Intermodal traffic consists largely of high-value, time-sensitive retail goods in overseas containers that can be transported by train, ship and truck, and in domestic containers and trailers that can be moved by train and truck.
Canadian Pacific is driving change as it moves through its transformational journey to become the best railroad in North America, while creating long-term value for shareholders. The Company is focused on providing customers with industry leading rail service; driving sustainable, profitable growth; optimizing our assets; and reducing costs, while remaining a leader in rail safety.
Looking forward, CP is executing its strategic plan to become the lowest cost rail carrier. This plan is centred on five key foundations, which are the Companys performance drivers.
Provide Service: Providing efficient and consistent transportation solutions for the Companys customers. Doing what we say we are going to do is what drives CP by providing a reliable product with a lower cost operating model.
Centralized planning aligned with local execution is bringing the Company closer to the customer and accelerating decision-making.
Control Costs: Controlling and removing unnecessary costs from the organization, eliminating bureaucracy and continuing to identify productivity enhancements are the keys to success.
Optimize Assets: Through longer sidings, improved asset utilization, and increased train lengths, the Company is moving increased volumes with fewer locomotives and cars while unlocking capacity for future growth potential.
Operate Safely: Each year, CP safely moves millions of carloads of freight across North America while ensuring the safety of our people and the communities through which we operate. Safety is never to be compromised. Continuous research and development in state-of-the-art safety technology and highly focused employees ensure our trains are built for safe, efficient operations across our network.
Develop People: CP recognizes that none of the other foundations can be achieved without its people. Every CP employee is a railroader and the Company is shaping a new culture focused on a passion for service with integrity in everything it does. Coaching and mentoring managers into becoming leaders will help drive CP forward.
3. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This MD&A contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other relevant securities legislation. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the Companys defined benefit pension expectations for 2014 and 2015, financial expectations for 2014, as well as statements concerning the Companys operations, anticipated financial performance, business prospects and strategies, as well as statements concerning the anticipation that cash flow from operations and various sources of financing will be sufficient to meet debt repayments and obligations in the foreseeable future, statements regarding future payments including income taxes and pension contributions, and capital expenditures. Forward-looking information typically contains statements with words such as anticipate, believe, expect, plan or similar words suggesting future outcomes.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information because it is possible that CP will not achieve predictions, forecasts, projections and other forms of forward-looking information. Current economic conditions render assumptions, although reasonable when made, subject to greater uncertainty. In addition, 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.
By its nature, 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; inflation; changes in laws and regulations, including regulation of rates; changes in taxes and tax rates; potential increases in maintenance and operating costs; uncertainties of investigations, proceedings or other types of claims and 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 on the financial position of pension plans and investments; and various events that could disrupt operations, including severe weather, droughts, floods, avalanches and earthquakes as well as security threats and the governmental response to them, and technological changes.
There are more specific factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A. These more specific factors are identified and discussed in Section 20, Business Risks and elsewhere in this MD&A. Other risks are detailed from time to time in reports filed by CP with securities regulators in Canada and the United States.
Financial Assumptions
Defined benefit pension expectations
Defined benefit pension contributions are currently estimated to be between $90 million and $110 million in each year from 2014 to 2016. This contribution level reflects the Companys intentions with respect to the rate at which the Company applies the voluntary prepayments made in previous years to reduce contribution requirements. Defined benefit pension income for 2014 and 2015 is expected to be approximately $50 million for each year. These pension contributions and pension income estimates are based on a number of economic and demographic assumptions and are sensitive to changes in the assumptions or to actual experience differing from the assumptions. Pensions are discussed further in Section 21, Critical Accounting Estimates.
Canadian Pacific 2014 MD&A Q2

Financial expectations for 2014
The Company expects revenue growth to be 6-7%, operating ratio of 65% or lower and diluted earnings per share (EPS) growth to be 30% or greater from 2013 annual diluted EPS, excluding significant items, of $6.42, discussed further in Section 14, Non-GAAP Measures.

Income
Operating income in the second quarter of 2014 was $587 million, an increase of $167 million, or 40%, from $420 million in the same period of 2013. Operating income increased primarily due to:
| higher overall shipments; |
| efficiency savings generated from improved operating performance, asset utilization and insourcing of certain IT activities; |
| higher freight rates; |
| lower casualty expense; |
| the favourable impact of the change in foreign exchange (FX); and |
| lower pension expense. |
This increase in Operating income was partially offset by higher incentive and stock-based compensation.
Operating income in the first six months of 2014 was $1,010 million, an increase of $228 million, or 29% from $782 million in the same period of 2013.
Operating income increased primarily due to:
| higher shipments of Canadian originating grain, Domestic intermodal , and Metals, minerals and consumer products; |
| efficiency savings generated from improved operating performance, asset utilization and insourcing of certain IT activities; |
| lower pension expense; |
| the favourable impact of the change in foreign exchange (FX); and |
| lower casualty expense. |
This increase in Operating income was partially offset by the unfavourable impact of harsh winter operating conditions and higher incentive and stock-based compensation.

Net income was $371 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $119 million, or 47%, from $252 million in the same period of 2013. Net income was $625 million for the first six months of 2014, an increase of $156 million, or 33%, from $469 million in the same period of 2013. These increases were primarily due to higher Operating income, partially offset by an increase in income tax expense.
Diluted Earnings per Share
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) in the second quarter of 2014 was $2.11, an increase of $0.68, or 48%, from $1.43 in the same period of 2013. Diluted EPS for the first six months of 2014 was $3.54, an increase of $0.88, or 33%, from $2.66 in the same period of 2013. These increases were primarily due to higher net income.
Operating Ratio
The operating ratio provides the percentage of revenues used to operate the railway, and is calculated as total operating expenses divided by total revenues. A lower percentage normally indicates higher efficiency in the operation of the railway. The operating ratio was 65.1% in the second quarter of 2014, compared with 71.9% in the same period of 2013. This improvement was primarily due to higher volumes generating higher freight revenues and efficiency savings partially offset by higher incentive and stock-based compensation. The operating ratio was 68.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with 73.9% in the same period of 2013. These decreases were primarily due to higher volumes and efficiency savings, partially offset by higher incentive and stock-based compensation and the impact of harsh winter operating conditions.
Impact of Foreign Exchange on Earnings
Fluctuations in foreign exchange affect the Companys results because U.S. dollar-denominated revenues and expenses are translated into Canadian dollars. U.S. dollar-denominated revenues and expenses increase (decrease) when the Canadian dollar weakens (strengthens) in relation to the U.S. dollar.

Operations Performance
GTMs for the second quarter of 2014 were 71,333 million, which increased by 6% compared with 67,232 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was driven primarily by higher grain and coal traffic. GTMs for the first six months of 2014 decreased by 1% compared to the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to lower overall traffic volumes in the Companys bulk franchise in the first quarter of 2014.
RTMs for the second quarter of 2014 were 38,429 million which increased by 7% compared with 35,991 million in the same period of 2013. RTMs for the first six months of 2014 were 72,804 million which increased by 1% compared with 72,154 million in the same period of 2013. RTMs are discussed further in Section 8, Lines of Business.
Train miles decreased by 3% in the second quarter of 2014, compared with the same period of 2013, and decreased by 8% for the first six months of 2014, compared to the same period of 2013. These reductions were primarily driven by improvements in operating efficiency.
Average train weight for the second quarter of 2014 was 8,178 tons, an increase of 707 tons or 9%, compared with 7,471 tons in the same period of 2013. Average train weights for the first six months of 2014 increased by 8% compared with the same period of 2013.
Canadian Pacific 2014 MD&A Q2

Average train length for the second quarter of 2014 was 6,880 feet, an increase of 436 feet or 7%, compared with 6,444 feet in the same period of 2013 and was 6,634 feet in the first six months of 2014, an increase of 4% compared with the same period of 2013.
Average train weight and length benefited significantly from improvements in operating plan efficiency, as well as longer and heavier bulk train designs, both of which leverage the siding extensions completed in 2013. This improvement was achieved despite the impact of harsh winter operating conditions in the first quarter of 2014.
Average terminal dwell increased by 26% and 40% in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2013. These increases were due to harsh winter operating conditions and continued operational challenges in the U.S. Midwest.
Average train speed decreased by 3% in the second quarter of 2014, compared with the same period of 2013. This decrease is due to continued operational challenges in the U.S. Midwest following a challenging winter. Average train speed decreased by 7%, in the first six months of 2014, compared with the same period of 2013. This decrease is primarily due to the impact of harsh winter operating conditions.
Locomotive productivity increased by 5% and 2% for the second quarter and the first six months of 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2013. These increases were primarily a result of reductions in locomotive dwell and continued improvements in train weights, partially offset by a reduction in train speed.
Fuel efficiency improved by 5% and 4% for the second quarter and the first six months of 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2013. These improvements were due to the continued execution of the Companys fuel conservation strategy and increased locomotive productivity from higher average train weights.
The average number of total employees in the second quarter of 2014 decreased by 684, or 4%, compared with the same period in 2013 and in the first six months of 2014 decreased by 680, or 4%, compared with the same period in 2013. These decreases were primarily due to job reductions as a result of continuing strong operational performance and natural attrition, partially offset by additional Information Services (IS) employees as part of the Companys insourcing strategy. Workforce was further decreased due to fewer contractors.

The Companys revenues are primarily derived from transporting freight. Other revenue is generated from leasing of certain assets, switching fees, contracts with passenger service operators, and logistical management services. Changes in freight volumes generally contribute to corresponding changes in freight revenues and certain variable expenses, such as fuel, equipment rents and crew costs.
Freight Revenues
Freight revenues are earned from transporting bulk commodities, merchandise and intermodal goods, and include fuel recoveries billed to the Companys customers. Freight revenues were $1,642 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $184 million, or 13%, from $1,458 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to:
| higher volumes of Canadian originating grain shipments, Domestic intermodal and expressway containers, U.S. originating grain shipments, and Metals, minerals and consumer products; |
| the favourable impact of the change in FX; and |
Canadian Pacific 2014 MD&A Q2

| higher freight rates. |
This increase was partially offset by lower shipments in International intermodal, Forest products, and Fertilizers and sulphur due to:
| the exit of certain customer contracts; |
| lower shipments of fertilizers as a result of high inventories following a late harvest in 2013 and a narrow spring application window; and |
| the delayed return to full production of customer facilities following a challenging winter. |
Freight revenues were $3,116 million in the first six months of 2014, an increase of $199 million, or 7%, from $2,917 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to:
| the favourable impact of the change in FX; |
| higher volumes of Canadian originating grain shipments, Frac sand in Metals, minerals and consumer products, and Domestic intermodal and expressway container volumes; and |
| higher freight rates. |
This increase was partially offset by lower shipments in International intermodal, Forest products, and Fertilizers and sulphur due to the exit of certain customer contracts and lower shipments in certain lines of business due to harsh winter operating conditions.
Revenue ton miles (RTMs) were 38,429 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 2,438 million, or 7%, compared to the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to higher shipments of:
| Canadian originating grain; |
| Canadian originating metallurgical coal; |
| Domestic intermodal and expressway containers; and |
| Frac sand in Metals, minerals and consumer products. |
This increase in RTMs was offset by lower shipments of:
| International intermodal; |
| Forest product shipments; and |
| Fertilizers and sulphur. |
RTMs were 72,804 million for the first six months of 2014, an increase of approximately 650 million, or 1%, compared to the same period of 2013. This increase in RTMs was primarily due to higher volumes of:
| Canadian originating grain; |
| Frac sand in Metals, minerals and consumer products; |
| Domestic intermodal and expressway container volumes; and |
| Canadian originating shipments of metallurgical coal. |
This increase in RTMs was offset by lower shipments of:
| International intermodal due to the exit of certain customer contracts; |
| Forest Products; |
| Potash; and |
| Fertilizers and sulphur. |
Fuel Cost Recovery Programs
CP employs a fuel cost recovery program designed to automatically respond to fluctuations in fuel prices and help mitigate the financial impact of rising fuel prices. Fuel surcharge revenue is earned on individual shipments; as such, fuel surcharge revenue is a function of freight volumes. Short-term volatility in fuel prices may adversely or positively impact expenses and revenues.

Canadian grain revenue was $252 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $61 million, or 32%, from $191 million in the same period of 2013 and was $473 million for the first six months of 2014, an increase of $79 million, or 20%, from $394 million in the same period of 2013. These increases were primarily due to higher shipments as a result of strong export demand and record Canadian crop production, and the favourable impact of the change in FX.
This increase was partially offset by reduced freight rates as measured by freight revenue per revenue ton-mile.

U.S. grain revenue was $115 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $24 million, or 26%, from $91 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due:
| higher shipments destined for the Pacific Northwest due to increased U.S. crop production in areas served by CP; |
| the favourable impact of the change in FX; and |
| increased freight rates. |
This increase was partially offset by lower shipments to certain areas of the U.S. Midwest.
U.S. grain revenue was $221 million for the first six months of 2014, an increase of $19 million, or 9%, from $202 million in the same period of 2013.

Potash revenue was $101 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $6 million, or 6%, from $95 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to:
| higher domestic potash shipments; |
| the favourable impact of the change in FX; and |
| higher freight rates. |
This increase was partially offset by lower export potash shipments.
Potash revenue was $181 million for the first six months of 2014, an increase of $4 million, or 2%, from $177 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to:
| the favourable impact of the change in FX; |
| higher domestic potash shipments; and |
| higher freight rates. |
This increase was partially offset by the impact of the harsh winter operating conditions in the first quarter of 2014.

Fertilizers and sulphur revenue was $64 million in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of $4 million, or 6%, from $68 million in the same period of 2013 and was $118 million for the first six months of 2014, a decrease of $20 million, or 14%, from $138 million in the same period of 2013. These decreases were primarily due to overall lower shipments of fertilizers as a result of high inventories following a late harvest in 2013 and a narrow spring application window as well as lower shipments of sulphur due to the delayed return to full production of customer facilities, as a result of harsh winter operating conditions in 2014, partially offset by the favourable impact of the change in FX and higher freight rates.

Forest products revenue was $52 million in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of $1 million, or 2%, from $53 million in the same period of 2013 and was $100 million for the first six months of 2014, a decrease of $6 million, or 6%, from $106 million in the same period of 2013. These decreases were primarily due to lower lumber shipments as a result of the exit of certain customer contracts in Western Canada and lower pulp and paper shipments due to customer production issues, partially offset by the favourable impact of the change in FX and higher freight rates.

These increases were primarily due to:

These increases were primarily due to:
| higher volumes as a result of increased demand for crude by rail shipments originating from the Bakken region and Western Canada; |
| the favourable impact of the change in FX; and |
| higher freight rates. |

Automotive revenue was $104 million in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of $2 million, or 2%, from $106 million in the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to continued operational challenges in the U.S. Midwest following a challenging winter, partially offset by the favourable impact of FX.
Automotive revenue was $192 million for the first six months of 2014, a decrease of $11 million, or 5%, from $203 million in the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to harsh winter operating conditions and was partially offset by the favourable impact of FX, as well as the movement of one time dimensional loads in 2014.

(1) | Billings to third parties for the recovery of costs incurred for freight car repairs and servicing have been reclassified from Purchased services and other to Compensation and benefits and Materials within Operating expenses. |
Operating expenses were $1,094 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $17 million, or 2%, from $1,077 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to:
| higher stock-based and incentive compensation; |
| the unfavourable impact in the change of FX; |
| higher volume variable expenses as a result of an increase in workload, as measured by GTMs; |
| wage and benefit inflation; |
| higher fuel prices; and |
| the receipt of an insurance recovery in the second quarter of 2013, related to flooding in 2011. |
This increase was partially offset by:
| efficiencies generated from improved operating performance, asset utilization, and insourcing of certain IT activities; |
| lower pension expense; and |
| lower casualty expense. |
Operating expense was $2,180 million for the first six months of 2014, a decrease of $30 million, or 1%, from $2,210 million in the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to:
| efficiencies generated from improved operating performance, asset utilization, and insourcing of certain IT activities; |
| lower pension expense; |
| lower casualty expense; and |
| lower volume variable expenses as a result of a decrease in workload, as measured by GTMs. |
This decrease was partially offset by:
| the unfavourable impact in the change of FX; |
| higher stock-based and incentive compensation; |
| higher costs due to the impact of harsh winter operating conditions in the first quarter of 2014; |
| wage and benefit inflation; |
| higher fuel prices; |
| a settlement of litigation in 2013 related to management transition; and |
| lower land sales. |
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits expense was $342 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $8 million, or 2%, from $334 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to:
Canadian Pacific 2014 MD&A Q2
14
| higher stock-based compensation primarily driven by the higher change in stock price and higher incentive compensation resulting from improved corporate performance; |
| wage and benefit inflation; |
| an increase in IS personnel as part of the Companys insourcing strategy, offset by efficiency savings recorded in Purchased services and other; |
| the unfavourable impact of the change in FX; and |
| higher volume variable expenses, as a result of an increase in workload as measured by GTMs. |
This increase was partially offset by lower pension expense and lower costs achieved through a smaller workforce and road and yard crew efficiencies as a result of continuing strong operational performance.
Compensation and benefits expense was $687 million for the first six months of 2014, a decrease of $39 million, or 5%, from $726 million in the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a lower pension expense and lower costs achieved through a smaller workforce. This decrease was partially offset by:
| higher stock-based compensation primarily driven by the higher change in stock price and higher incentive compensation resulting from improved corporate performance; |
| wage and benefit inflation; |
| the unfavourable impact of the change in FX; |
| an increase in IS personnel; and |
| increased overtime wages and higher crew costs driven by harsh winter operating conditions. |
Fuel
Fuel expense was $273 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $27 million, or 11%, from $246 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to:
| the unfavourable change in FX; |
| the change in workload, as measured by GTMs; and |
| increased fuel prices. |
This increase was partially offset by improvements in fuel efficiency as a result of increased train weights and focus on the fuel conservation strategies of the Companys operating plan.
Fuel expense was $544 million for the first six months of 2014, an increase of $28 million, or 5%, from $516 million in the same period of 2013. The increase was primarily due to the unfavourable change in FX and increased fuel prices. This was partially offset by improvements in fuel efficiency as a result of increased train weights and focus on the fuel conservation strategies of the Companys operating plan, and by the change in workload, as measured by GTMs.
Materials
Materials expense was $47 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $12 million, or 34%, from $35 million in the same period of 2013 and was $99 million for the first six months of 2014, an increase of $20 million, or 25%, from $79 million in the same period of 2013. These increases were primarily due to higher freight car repair material costs and track maintenance materials. In addition, the increase in the first six months of 2014 is also driven by harsh winter operating conditions in the first quarter of 2014.
Equipment Rents
Equipment rents expense was $40 million in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of $4 million or 9%, from $44 million in the same period of 2013 and was $81 million for the first six months of 2014, a decrease of $9 million or 10%, from $90 million in the same period of 2013. These decreases reflect a reduction in equipment rents associated with freight cars and locomotives. As a result of operating efficiencies, the Company required fewer freight cars or locomotives, reducing the payments made to foreign railways for the use of their freight cars and permitting the return or sublease of certain leased freight cars and locomotives.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $137 million in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of $4 million, or 3%, from $141 million in the same period of 2013 and was $278 million for the first six months of 2014, a decrease of $4 million, or 1%, from $282 million in the same period of 2013. Depreciation expense was lower due to a decrease in accelerated depreciation on IT assets and lower depreciable assets resulting from the sale of the west end of Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad (DM&E West). The decrease was partially offset by higher depreciable assets as a result of the Companys capital program.

Purchased services and other expense was $255 million in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of $22 million, or 8% from $277 million in the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to lower casualty expense and efficiencies generated from improved operating performance, asset utilization, and insourcing of certain IT activities.
This decrease was partially offset by:
| the unfavourable impact of the change in FX; |
| the receipt of an insurance recovery in the second quarter of 2013, related to flooding in 2011, reported in Other; |
| higher intermodal expenses related to pick up & delivery service, reported in Intermodal; and |
| higher corporate sponsorships and donations, reported in Support and facilities. |
Purchased services and other expense was $491 million for the first six months of 2014, a decrease of $26 million, or 5% from $517 million in the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to:
| lower casualty expense; |
| efficiencies generated from improved operating performance, asset utilization, and insourcing of certain IT activities; and |
| lower interline expenses related to reduced workload, included in Track and operations. |
This decrease was partially offset by:
| the unfavourable impact of the change in FX; |
| a settlement of litigation in 2013 related to management transition, included in Other; |
| lower land sales; |
| the receipt of an insurance recovery in the second quarter of 2013, related to flooding in 2011, reported in Other; and |
| higher corporate sponsorships and donations, reported in Support and facilities. |
10. OTHER INCO ME STATEMENT ITEMS
Other Income and Charges
Other income and charges was an expense of $3 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to an expense of $8 million in the same period of 2013. Other income and charges was an expense of $3 million for the first six months of 2014, compared to $11 million in the same period of 2013. These improvements were primarily due to higher FX gains.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $69 million and $139 million for the second quarter and the first six months of 2014 respectively, essentially unchanged from the same periods of 2013.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $144 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $52 million, or 57%, from $92 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to higher taxable earnings and a higher estimated annual effective income tax rate in 2014.
Income tax expense was $243 million for the first six months of 2014, an increase of $79 million, or 48%, from $164 million in the same period of 2013. This increase was due to higher taxable earnings and a higher estimated annual
Canadian Pacific 2014 MD&A Q2

effective income tax rate in 2014, and the recognition of a U.S. federal track maintenance tax credit for 2012 that was enacted and reported in the first quarter of 2013.
The estimated annual effective income tax rate for the second quarter and the first six months of 2014 was 28%, compared with an effective tax rate of 27% and 26% respectively, in the same periods in 2013. This increase was primarily due to the U.S. track maintenance tax credit for 2012 and higher estimated pre-tax net income in 2014.
The Company expects an annual effective income tax rate in 2014 of approximately 28%, which is based on certain estimates and assumptions for the year, discussed further in Section 20, Business Risks.

Quarterly Trends
Volumes and revenues from certain goods are stronger during different periods of the year. Second and third quarter revenues generally improve over the first quarter as fertilizer volumes are typically highest during the second quarter. Operating income is also affected by seasonal fluctuations. Operating income is typically lowest in the first quarter due to lower freight revenue and higher operating costs associated with winter conditions. Net income is also influenced by seasonal fluctuations in customer demand and weather-related issues.
12. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
Future Accounting Changes
Reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, an amendment to FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 205 and Topic 360. The update amends the definition of a discontinued operation in Topic 205, expands disclosure requirements for transactions that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose information about individually significant components that are disposed of or held for sale and do not qualify as discontinued operations. In addition, an entity is required to separately present assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods and separately present assets and liabilities of assets held for sale in the initial period in which the disposal group is classified as held for sale on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. For each period in which assets and liabilities are separately presented on the consolidated balance sheets, those amounts should not be offset and presented as a single amount. This ASU will be effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014, and will be applied prospectively. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact to the Companys financial statements.
Revenue from contracts with customers
In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a new FASB ASC, Topic 606, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605 and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. This new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about revenue to help users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This ASU will be effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt the ASU. The Company has not, at this time, ascertained the full impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this new standard but does not expect the impact to be material.

13. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CP believes adequate amounts of cash and cash equivalents are available in the normal course of business to provide for ongoing operations, including the obligations identified in the tables in Section 18, Contractual Commitments and Section 19, Future Trends and Commitments. The Company is not aware of any trends or expected fluctuations in the Companys liquidity that would create any deficiencies. Liquidity risk is discussed further in Section 20, Business Risks. The following discussion of operating, investing and financing activities describes the Companys indicators of liquidity and capital resources.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $645 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $125 million from $520 million in the same period of 2013. Cash provided by operating activities was $932 million for the first six months of 2014, an increase of $145 million from $787 million in the same period of 2013. These increases were largely due to improved earnings partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable resulting from higher customer billings and slowdown in the Companys collections rate. In addition, the increase in the first six months compared to the same period in 2013 reflects the purchase of material in 2013 as part of the Companys insourcing strategy.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $45 million in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of $345 million from $390 million in the same period of 2013. Cash used in investing activities was $262 million for the first six months of 2014, a decrease of $340 million from $602 million in the same period of 2013. These decreases were largely due to the proceeds received from the sale of DM&E West and a decrease in Restricted cash and cash equivalents related to securitization of letters of credit, discussed further in Section 20, Business Risks.
Additions to properties (capital programs) in 2014 are expected to be approximately $1.2 to $1.3 billion. Planned capital programs include approximately $850 million to $875 million to preserve capacities through replacement or renewal of depleted assets, between $200 million and $250 million for network capacity expansions, business development projects and productivity initiatives, up to $120 million to opportunistically acquire core assets currently leased, and between $50 million and $75 million to address capital regulated by governments, principally Positive Train Control (PTC) and locomotive engine upgrades to meet emission standards.
The Companys capital spending outlook is based on certain assumptions about events and developments that may not materialize or that may be offset entirely or partially by other events and developments. These assumptions and other factors affecting the Companys expectations for 2014 are discussed further in Section 20, Business Risks.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $498 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $454 million from $44 million used in the same period of 2013. Cash used in financing activities was $773 million for the first six months of 2014, an increase of $689 million from $84 million used in the same period of 2013. These increases were largely due to payments made to buy back shares under the share repurchase program, discussed further in Section 15, Shareholder Returns, and by lower proceeds from the issuance of common shares resulting from the exercising of options. In addition, there was a repayment of a capital lease in the first six months of 2014.
The Company has available, as sources of financing, up to $1.2 billion under its revolving credit facility and up to $195 million under its bilateral letter of credit facilities, discussed further in Section 20, Business Risks.
Debt to Total Capitalization
Debt to total capitalization is the sum of long-term debt, long-term debt maturing within one year and short-term borrowing, divided by debt plus total Shareholders equity as presented on the Companys Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2014, the Companys debt to total capitalization decreased to 39.8%, compared with 45.9% at June 30, 2013. This decrease was largely due to an increase in equity driven by the decrease in Pension and other benefit liabilities and by earnings during the last twelve months partially offset in part by a decrease in equity resulting from the share repurchase program discussed further in Section 15, Shareholder Returns.
Interest Coverage Ratio
Interest coverage ratio is used in assessing the Companys debt servicing capabilities. This ratio provides an indicator of the Companys debt servicing capabilities, and how these have changed, period over period and in comparison to the Companys peers. Interest coverage ratio is measured, on a rolling twelve month basis, as earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) divided by Net interest expense, discussed further in Section 14, Non-GAAP Measures. At June 30, 2014, the Companys interest coverage ratio was 5.9, compared with 4.4 at June 30, 2013. This improvement was primarily due to an improvement in EBIT, based on the twelve month period ending June 30, 2014. EBIT was negatively impacted by labour restructuring, asset impairment charges, and management transition costs, discussed further in Section 14, Non-GAAP Measures.
Canadian Pacific 2014 MD&A Q2
18
Excluding these significant items from EBIT, Adjusted interest coverage ratio, discussed further in Section 14, Non-GAAP Measures, was 7.4 at June 30, 2014, compared with 5.5 at June 30, 2013. This increase was primarily due to an increase in Adjusted EBIT based on the twelve month period ending June 30, 2014.
Credit Measures
Credit ratings provide information relating to the Companys financing costs, liquidity and operations and affect the Companys ability to obtain short-term and long-term financing and/or the cost of such financing.
A mid-investment grade credit rating is an important measure in assessing the Companys ability to maintain access to public financing and to minimize cost of capital. It also affects the ability of the Company to engage in certain collateralized business activities on a cost effective basis which is discussed further in Section 20, Business Risks.
Credit ratings and outlooks are based on the rating agencies methodologies and can change from time to time to reflect their views of CP. Their views are affected by numerous factors including, but not limited to, the Companys financial position and liquidity along with external factors beyond the Companys control.
On April 16, 2014, Standard & Poors Ratings Services raised CPs long-term corporate credit rating to BBB from BBB- and assigned a positive outlook to the rating.
On April 24, 2014, Moodys Investors Service upgraded CPs senior unsecured ratings to Baa2 from Baa3 and assigned a positive outlook to the rating.
On June 5, 2014, DBRS upgraded CPs Issuer Rating, Unsecured Debentures and Medium-Term Notes ratings to BBB from BBB(low) and assigned a positive outlook to the ratings.
Adjusted net debt to Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP measure that management uses to evaluate CPs financial discipline with respect to capital markets credit sensitivities. The Companys goal is to maintain a degree of continuity and predictability for investors by meeting a minimum threshold.
Adjusted net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 was 2.2, 3.2, and 4.1 times, respectively. The improvement in this measure reflects the Companys improved net income and a net asset position for the Companys main Canadian defined benefit pension plan at December 31, 2013. Adjusted net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is discussed further in Section 14, Non-GAAP Measures.
Free Cash
Free cash and cash flow before dividends are non-GAAP measures that management considers to be indicators of liquidity. These measures are used by management to provide information with respect to the relationship between cash provided by operating activities and investment decisions and provide comparable measures for period to period changes. There was positive free cash of $519 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $534 million for the first six months of 2014, compared with positive free cash of $178 million and $171 million for the same periods of 2013.
The improvement in free cash in the second quarter and the first six months of 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 was primarily due to improved earnings and proceeds received from the sale of DM&E West.
Free cash is affected by the seasonal fluctuations discussed further in Section 11, Quarterly Financial Data and by other factors including the size of the Companys capital programs. Capital additions were $298 million in the second quarter of 2014, $3 million lower than in the same period of 2013. Capital additions were $522 million for the first six months of 2014, $18 million higher than in the same period of 2013. Our 2014 capital programs are discussed further above in Investing Activities.
The Company presents non-GAAP measures, cash flow information and credit metrics to provide a basis for evaluating underlying earnings and liquidity trends in its business that can be compared with the results of operations in prior periods. These non-GAAP measures may exclude other specified items that are not among the Companys normal ongoing revenues and operating expenses or may be adjusted for certain off-balance sheet obligations. These non-GAAP measures have no standardized meaning and are not defined by GAAP and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Operating income, excluding significant items, provides a measure of the profitability of the railway on an ongoing basis. Operating ratio, excluding significant items, calculated as operating expenses, excluding significant items divided by revenues, provides the percentage of revenues used to operate the railway on an ongoing basis.
Income, excluding significant items, provides management with a measure of income that allows a multi-period assessment of long-term profitability and also allows management and other external users of the Companys consolidated financial statements to compare profitability on a long-term basis with that of the Companys peers.
Diluted earnings per share, excluding significant items provides the same information on a per share basis.
Operating ratio provides the percentage of revenue used to operate the railway and is calculated as operating expenses divided by revenues. A lower percentage normally indicates higher efficiency in the operation of the railway.
Significant Items
Significant 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 and other items that are not normal course business activities. The following significant items were discussed in further detail in Section 9, Operating Expenses, Section 10, Other Income Statement Items, Section 15, Non-GAAP Measures, and Section 20, Future Trends and Commitments of the annual 2012 and 2013 MD&A, which is herein incorporated by reference.
In the first quarter of 2014, CP recorded a recovery of $4 million ($3 million after tax) for the Companys 2012 labour restructuring initiative due to favourable experience gains, recorded in Compensation and benefits. In the first quarter of 2013, CP recorded a recovery of US$9 million (US$6 million after tax) related to the settlement of certain management transition amounts which had been subject to legal proceedings.
There were no significant items in the second quarter of 2013 or 2014.
The following tables reconcile the noted Non-GAAP measures to the respective nearest reported GAAP measures.

Free Cash
Free cash is calculated as cash provided by operating activities, less cash used in investing activities, excluding changes in restricted cash and cash equivalents and investment balances used to collateralize letters of credit, and dividends paid, adjusted for changes in cash and cash equivalents balances resulting from FX fluctuations. Free cash is discussed further in Section 13, Liquidity and Capital Resources. Cash provided by financing activities, excluding dividend payments, reflects financing activities cash flows not included in the computation of free cash. Cash flow before dividends is calculated as cash provided by operating activities less cash used in investing activities, excluding changes in restricted cash and cash equivalents and investment balances used to collateralize letters of credit.

Interest Coverage Ratio
Interest coverage ratio is used in assessing the Companys debt servicing capabilities. This ratio provides an indicator of the Companys debt servicing capabilities, and how these have changed, period over period and in comparison to the Companys peers. The ratio, measured as EBIT divided by Net interest expense is reported quarterly and is measured on a rolling twelve month basis.
The interest coverage ratio, excluding significant items, also referred to as Adjusted interest coverage ratio, is calculated as Adjusted EBIT divided by Net interest expense. By excluding significant items which affect EBIT, Adjusted interest coverage ratio provides a metric that is more comparable on a period to period basis.
Interest coverage ratio and Adjusted interest coverage ratio are discussed further in Section 13, Liquidity and Capital Resources.

ROCE
ROCE is a measure of performance which measures how productively the Company uses its assets. ROCE is defined as EBIT divided by the average for the twelve months of total assets, less current liabilities excluding the current portion of long-term debt. ROCE, excluding significant items, also referred to as Adjusted ROCE is calculated as Adjusted EBIT divided by the average for the twelve months of total assets, less current liabilities excluding the current portion of long-term debt. By excluding significant items which affect EBIT, Adjusted ROCE provides a metric that is more comparable on a period to period basis. ROCE and Adjusted ROCE are discussed further in Section 15, Shareholder Returns.

Adjusted Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted debt is defined as Long-term debt, Long-term debt maturing within one year and short-term borrowing as reported on the Companys balance sheets adjusted for unfunded pension and other benefits liability, net of tax and the net present value of operating leases, which is discounted by the Companys effective interest rate for each of the years presented. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Adjusted EBIT plus Depreciation and amortization, adjusted for net periodic pension and other benefit cost and operating lease expense.

Shareholders Equity
At June 30, 2014, the Companys Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets reflected $7,136 million in equity, compared with $7,097 million at December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to:
| Net income in excess of dividends; |
| a decrease in Accumulated other comprehensive loss driven by changes in pension and post-retirement benefit plan; and |
| an increase in Share capital as stock options were exercised. |
This increase was partially offset by the repurchase of CP common shares.
Canadian Pacific 2014 MD&A Q2

Share Capital
At July 15, 2014, 172,471,848 common shares and no preferred shares were issued and outstanding. In addition, CP has a Management Stock Option Incentive Plan (MSOIP) under which key officers and employees are granted options to purchase CP shares. Each option granted can be exercised for one Common Share. At July 15, 2014, 3.2 million options were outstanding under the Companys Directors Stock Option Plan, and MSOIP, which includes the stand-alone option agreements entered into with Mr. E. Hunter Harrison, Mr. Keith Creel and Mr. Bart W. Demosky. 2.4 million additional options may be issued in the future under the MSOIP and Directors Stock Option Plan.
Stock Price
The market value per CP common share, as listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) was $193.31 at the end of the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $27.66 from $165.65 at the beginning of the quarter, and an increase of $32.66 from $160.65 at the beginning of 2014. The market value was $127.53 at the end of the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $5.01 from $132.54 at the beginning of the quarter, and an increase of $26.63 from $100.90 at the beginning of 2013.
Return on Capital Employed
ROCE is a measure of performance which measures how productively the Company uses its assets. ROCE was 10.9% at June 30, 2014, compared with 8.7% in the same period of 2013. This increase was primarily due to an increase in EBIT. ROCE is discussed further in Section 14, Non-GAAP Measures.
Cash Returned to Shareholders
On April 30, 2014, the Companys Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.3500 per share compared to $0.3500 in 2013, on the outstanding common shares. The dividend is payable on July 28, 2014 to holders of record at the close of business on June 27, 2014.
Share Repurchase Program
On March 11, 2014, the Company announced a new share repurchase program to implement a normal course issuer bid (NCIB) to purchase, for cancellation, up to 5.3 million common shares which represents 3 percent of the Companys 175.7 million common shares outstanding as at March 4, 2014. The share repurchase program commenced on March 17, 2014, and is due to terminate no later than March 16, 2015.
CP believes that the purchase of its shares from time to time is an appropriate and advantageous use of the Companys funds.
Purchases of the Companys common shares may be made through the facilities of the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and alternative trading platforms by means of open market transactions or by such other means as may be permitted by the TSX and under applicable securities laws, including by private agreement pursuant to issuer bid exemption orders issued by applicable securities regulatory authorities. The purchase price for any common shares under the share repurchase program will be the market price at the time of purchase or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX. Any private purchase made under an exemption order issued by a securities regulatory authority will generally be at a discount to the prevailing market price. The actual number of common shares repurchased under the NCIB and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by the Company and there cannot be any assurances as to how many common shares will ultimately be acquired under the NCIB. From April 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014, the Company repurchased 2.7 million common shares for $478 million at an average price of $176.86 per share. From March 17, 2014 to June 30, 2014, the Company repurchased 3.3 million common shares for $565 million at an average price of $172.90 per share.
Section 17, Financial Instruments of the 2013 annual MD&A includes a more detailed discussion around the Companys fair value of Financial Instruments and financial risk management, which have not changed from the Companys MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2013, except as described below.
Carrying Value and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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 June 30, 2014 and a carrying value of $4,725 million at June 30, 2014. At December 31, 2013, long-term debt had a fair value of $5,572 million and a carrying value of $4,876 million.
Canadian Pacific 2014 MD&A Q2

Foreign Exchange Management
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 and six months ended June 30, 2014 was an unrealized foreign exchange gain of $119 million and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $12 million, respectively, compared to unrealized foreign exchange losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 of $110 million and $177 million, respectively. There was no ineffectiveness during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and comparative periods.
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 June 30, 2014, the Company had no remaining FX forward contracts to fix the exchange rate on U.S. denominated debt maturities. 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 were accounted for as cash flow hedges, guaranteed the amount of Canadian dollars that the Company would 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 June 30, 2014, the Company de-designated and settled prior to maturity the FX forward contracts related to the repayment of its 6.50% Notes due in May 2018 and its 7.25% Notes due in May 2019 for proceeds of $17 million to be settled in the third quarter of 2014.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the combined realized and unrealized foreign exchange loss was $8 million and the combined realized and unrealized foreign exchange gain was $3 million, respectively, were recorded in Other income and charges in relation to these derivatives, compared to $10 million and $15 million of unrealized foreign exchange gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Gains recorded in Other income and charges were largely offset by losses on the underlying debt which the derivatives were designated to hedge. Similarly, losses were largely offset by gains on the underlying debt.
At June 30, 2014, the realized gain derived from these FX forwards was $17 million which was recorded in Accounts receivable with the offset reflected as realized gains of $3 million in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and $14 million in Retained earnings. At December 31, 2013, the unrealized gains 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 offsets reflected as unrealized gains of $5 million in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and $20 million in Retained earnings.
Amounts remaining in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2014 will be amortized to Other income and charges until the underlying debts which were hedged are repaid.
17. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The information on off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in the Companys MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2013 remains substantially unchanged, except as updated as follows:
Guarantees
At June 30, 2014, the Company had residual value guarantees on operating lease commitments of $154 million, compared to $160 million at June 30, 2013. The maximum amount that could be payable under these and all of the Companys other guarantees cannot be reasonably estimated due to the nature of certain 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, 2014, these accruals amounted to $6 million, compared to $6 million in the same period of 2013.

(1) | Residual value guarantees on certain leased equipment with a maximum exposure of $154 million, discussed further in Section 17, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, are not included in the minimum payments shown above; as management believes that CP will not be required to make payments under these residual guarantees. |
(2) | Includes expected cash payments for restructuring, environmental remediation, asset retirement obligations, post-retirement benefits, workers compensation benefits, long-term disability benefits, pension benefit payments for the Companys non-registered supplemental pension plan, deferred income tax liabilities and certain other long-term liabilities. Projected payments for post-retirement benefits, workers compensation benefits and long-term disability benefits include the anticipated payments for years 2014 to 2023. Pension contributions for the Companys registered pension plans are not included due to the volatility in calculating them. Pension payments are discussed further in Section 21, Critical Accounting Estimates. Deferred income tax liabilities may vary according to changes in tax rates, tax regulations and the operating results of the Company. As the cash impact in any particular year cannot be reasonably determined, all long-term deferred tax liabilities have been reflected in the 2019 & beyond category in this table. Deferred income taxes are discussed further in Section 21, Critical Accounting Estimates. |

In addition to the financial commitments mentioned previously in Section 17, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Section 18, Contractual Commitments, the Company is party to certain other financial commitments set forth in the table above and discussed below.
Letters of Credit
Letters of credit are obtained mainly to provide security to third parties under the terms of various agreements, including workers compensation and supplemental pension. CP is liable for these contractual amounts in the case of non-performance under these agreements. Letters of credit are accommodated through the Companys bi-lateral letter of credit facility.
Canadian Pacific 2014 MD&A Q2
26
Capital Commitments
The Company remains committed to maintaining the current high level of plant quality and renewing the franchise. As part of this commitment, CP has entered contracts with suppliers to make various capital purchases related to track programs. Payments for these commitments are due in 2014 through 2046. These expenditures are expected to be financed by cash generated from operations or by issuing new debt.
In the normal course of operations, CP is exposed to various business risks and uncertainties that can have an effect on the Companys financial condition. Section 21, Business Risks of the 2013 annual MD&A includes a more detailed discussion around Business Risks, including Competition, Liquidity, Regulatory Authorities, Labour Relations, Climate Change, Financial Risks and General and Other Risks, which is herein incorporated by reference. There was no significant change to Business Risks, risk management strategies or the Companys integrated Enterprise Risk Management framework during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2014 other than those discussed below.
Liquidity
Section 21, Business Risks of the 2013 annual MD&A includes a more detailed discussion around Liquidity, including Revolving Credit Facility and Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities, which is herein incorporated by reference.
Revolving Credit Facility
At June 30, 2014, the facility was undrawn. The agreement requires the Company not to exceed a maximum debt to total capitalization ratio. At June 30, 2014, the Company satisfied this threshold stipulated in the financial covenant. In addition, should the Companys senior unsecured debt not be rated at least investment grade by Moodys and S&P, the Companys credit agreement will also require it to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.
Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities
At June 30, 2014, under its bilateral facilities the Company had letters of credit drawn of $390 million from a total available amount of $585 million. Prior to these bilateral agreements letters of credit were drawn under the Companys revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2014, Cash and cash equivalents of $402 million were pledged as collateral and recorded as Restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company can largely withdraw this collateral during any month.
Regulatory Authorities
The Companys railway operations are subject to extensive federal laws, regulations and rules in both Canada and the United States which directly affect how operations and business activities are managed.
Operations are subject to economic and safety regulation in Canada primarily by the Canadian Transportation Agency (the Agency), Transport Canada, the Canada Transportation Act (CTA) and the Railway Safety Act. The CTA provides shipper rate and service remedies, including Final Offer Arbitration, competitive line rates and compulsory inter-switching in Canada. The Agency regulates the maximum revenue entitlement for the movement of grain, commuter and passenger access, charges for ancillary services and noise-related disputes. Transport Canada regulates safety-related aspects of railway operations in Canada.
The Companys U.S. operations are subject to economic and safety regulation by the Surface Transportation Board (STB) and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The STB is an economic regulatory body with jurisdiction over railroad rate and service issues and reviewing proposed railroad mergers and other transactions. The FRA regulates safety-related aspects of CPs railway operations in the U.S. under the Federal Railroad Safety Act, as well as rail portions of other safety statutes. State and local regulatory agencies may also exercise limited jurisdiction over certain safety and operational matters of local significance.
Various other regulators directly and indirectly affect the Companys operations in areas such as health, safety, security and environmental and other matters. To mitigate statutory and regulatory impacts, CP is actively and extensively engaged throughout the different levels of government and regulators, both directly and indirectly through industry associations, including the Association of American Railroads and the Railway Association of Canada. No assurance can be given to the content, timing or effect on CP of any anticipated legislation or further legislative action.
Regulatory Change
On May 29, 2014, Bill C-30, Fair Rail Act for Farmers received royal assent. This legislation requires the Company and Canadian National Railway Company to move a minimum amount of grain specified in the legislation until August 3, 2014. After that date the federal cabinet can issue a new minimum. In addition, it expands the terms and conditions associated with the inter-switching provisions of the CTA in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and
Canadian Pacific 2014 MD&A Q2
27
Manitoba, provides that the Agency make regulations specifying what constitutes operational terms that may be subject to service agreement arbitration and gives the Agency the power to order a railway to compensate any person who has incurred expenses because of a failure to meet obligations under sections 113 and 144 of the CTA, or does not meet its obligations under the terms of a confidential contract that includes a compensation clause. Bill C-30 also amends the Canada Grain Act to permit the regulation of contracts relating to grain and the arbitration of disputes respecting the provisions of those contracts. It is too soon to determine the impact of the changes contained in Bill C-30 will have on the Companys financial condition and operations.
After the tragic accident in Lac-Megantic, Quebec in July of 2013 following a significant derailment involving a non-related short-line railroad, the Government of Canada implemented several measures pursuant to the Rail Safety Act and the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act. These modifications implemented changes with respect to rules associated with securing unattended trains, the classification of crude oil being imported, handled, offered for transport or transported and the provision of information to municipalities through which dangerous goods are transported by rail. These changes do not have a material impact on CPs operating practices.
On November 19, 2013, the Agency initiated consultation on the current approach to determining the adequacy of railway third party liability coverage and solicited input on possible improvements to the current regulatory framework.
There is ongoing discussion with Canadian and American regulators concerning amendments to the regulation for the transportation of hazardous commodities including the tank cars used for the transportation of crude oil. The freight rail industry petitioned the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration in 2011 to adopt the industrys new tank car standards. In November 2013, the industry renewed its request to the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and also urged that existing cars used for crude oil and ethanol be retrofitted to the higher standard or phased out of flammable service. CP does not own any tank cars used for commercial transportation of hazardous commodities.
Bill C-52 was enacted by the Canadian government on June 26, 2013. This legislation provides shippers with the right to an agreement concerning the manner in which a railway company must provide service to the shipper. If a service agreement cannot be reached through commercial negotiations, arbitration is available to the shipper to establish the terms of service. It is too soon to determine if this legislation will have a material impact on the Company.
In the U.S. Congress did not reauthorize the Railway Safety Improvement Act and the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act which expired at the end of September of 2013. It is not expected that legislation will be enacted in 2014.
The STB serves as both an adjudicatory and regulatory body. Matters pending before the STB include proposed rules to address its rate case processes and a petition by the National Industrial Transportation League for new reciprocal switching rules. No assurance can be given that any future regulatory or legislative initiatives by the STB will not materially adversely affect the Companys operations or financial position.
Positive Train Control
In the U.S., the Rail Safety Improvement Act requires Class I railroads to implement, by December 31, 2015, interoperable PTC on main track in the U.S. that has passenger rail traffic or toxic inhalant hazard commodity traffic. The legislation defines PTC as a system designed to prevent train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, incursions into established work zone limits, and the movement of a train through a switch left in the wrong position. The FRA has issued rules and regulations for the implementation of PTC, and CP filed its PTC Implementation Plans in April 2010, which outlined the Companys solution for interoperability as well as its consideration of relative risk in the deployment plan. The Company is participating in industry and government working groups to evaluate the scope of effort that will be required to comply with these regulatory requirements, and to further the development of an industry standard interoperable solution that can be supplied in time to complete deployment. At this time CP estimates the cost to implement PTC as required for railway operations in the U.S. to be up to US$328 million. As at June 30, 2014, total expenditures related to PTC were approximately $175 million, including approximately $16 million and $29 million for the second quarter and the first six months of 2014 respectively, discussed further in Section 13, Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Labour Relations
At June 30, 2014, approximately 77% of CPs workforce was unionized and approximately 75% of its workforce was located in Canada. Unionized employees are represented by a total of 39 bargaining units. Agreements are in place with all seven bargaining units that represent employees in Canada and all 32 bargaining units that represent employees in the Companys U.S. operations.
Canadian Pacific 2014 MD&A Q2
28
All of the Canadian bargaining agreements are in place through at least December 31, 2014. Agreements with unions representing Canadian running trades employees, Canadian rail traffic controllers, and Canadian car and locomotive repair employees expire at the end of 2014. Agreements with the other four Canadian bargaining units expire at the end of 2017. All of the U.S. collective bargaining agreements are in place until the end of 2014, with the exception of two agreements on the DM&E which became amendable at the end of 2013.
Climate Change
In both Canada and the U.S., the federal governments have not designated railway transportation as a large final emitter with respect to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The railway transportation industry is currently not regulated with respect to GHG emissions, nor does CP operate under a regulated cap of GHG emissions. Growing support for climate change legislation is likely to result in changes to the regulatory framework in Canada and the U.S. However, the timing and specific nature of those changes are difficult to predict. Specific instruments such as carbon taxes, and technical and fuel standards have the ability to significantly affect the Companys capital and operating costs. Restrictions, caps and/or taxes on the emissions of GHG could also affect the markets for, or the volume of, the goods the Company transports.
The fuel efficiency of railways creates a significant advantage over trucking, which currently handles a majority of the market share of ground transportation. Although trains are already three times more fuel efficient than trucks on a per ton-mile basis, the Company continues to adopt new technologies to minimize the Companys fuel consumption and GHG emissions.
Potential physical risks associated with climate change include damage to railway infrastructure due to extreme weather effects, (i.e. increased flooding, winter storms). Improvements to infrastructure design and planning are used to mitigate the potential risks posed by weather events. The Company maintains flood plans, winter operating plans, an avalanche risk management program and geotechnical monitoring of slope stability.
Financial Risks
Section 21, Business Risks of the 2013 annual MD&A includes a more detailed discussion around, including Fuel Cost Volatility and Interest Rate Risk, which is herein incorporated by reference.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Although CP conducts business primarily in Canada, a significant portion of its revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities including debt are denominated in U.S. dollars. The value of the Canadian dollar is affected by a number of domestic and international factors, including, without limitation, economic performance, and Canadian, U.S. and international monetary policies. Consequently, the Companys results are affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between these currencies. On average, a $0.01 weakening (or strengthening) of the Canadian dollar increases (or reduces) EPS by approximately $0.05 per share. On an annualized basis, a $0.01 weakening (or strengthening) of the Canadian dollar positively (or negatively) impacts Freight revenues by approximately $35 million and negatively (or positively) impacts Operating expenses by approximately $20 million. To manage this exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates between Canadian and U.S. dollars, CP may sell or purchase U.S. dollar forwards at fixed rates in future periods. In addition, changes in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and other currencies (including the U.S. dollar) make the goods transported by the Company more or less competitive in the world marketplace and may in turn positively or negatively affect revenues. Foreign exchange management is discussed further in Section 16, Financial Instruments.
General and Other Risks
Section 21, Business Risks of the 2013 annual MD&A includes a more detailed discussion around other General and Other Risks, including Supply Chain Disruption, Reliance on Technology and Technological Improvements, Qualified Personnel, Severe Weather, Supplier Concentration and General Risks, which is herein incorporated by reference.
Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Materials
Railways, including CP, are legally required to transport dangerous goods and hazardous materials as part of their common carrier obligations regardless of risk or potential exposure of loss. A train accident involving hazardous materials, including toxic inhalation hazard commodities such as chlorine and anhydrous ammonia could result in catastrophic losses from personal injury and property damage, which could have a material adverse effect on CPs operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Legal Proceedings Related to Lac-Megantic Rail Accident
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.
Canadian Pacific 2014 MD&A Q2
29
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.
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.
21. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
To prepare consolidated financial statements that conform with GAAP, CP is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Section 22, Critical Accounting Estimates of the 2013 annual MD&A includes a more detailed discussion related to Environmental Liabilities, Pensions and Other Benefits, Property, Plant and Equipment, Deferred Income Taxes, Legal and Personal Injury Liabilities and Goodwill, which is herein incorporated by reference.
Using the most current information available, the Company reviews estimates on an ongoing basis. There was no significant change to the Companys accounting policies, critical accounting estimates, development, selection, disclosure and the process of review by the Board of Directors Audit Committee of these estimates during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2014 other than those discussed below:
Pensions and Other Benefits
Pension Liabilities and Pension Assets
The Company included pension benefit liabilities of $216 million in Pension and other benefit liabilities and $9 million in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Companys June 30, 2014 Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet. CP also included post-retirement benefits liabilities of $354 million in Pension and other benefit liabilities and $21 million in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Companys June 30, 2014 Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company included pension benefit assets of $1,151 million in Pension asset on the June 30, 2014 Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Pension Plan Contributions
The Company made contributions of $20 million to the defined benefit pension plans in the second quarter of 2014 and $39 million in the first six months of 2014, compared with $22 million and $52 million in the same periods of 2013. The Company estimates its aggregate pension contributions to be in the range of $90 million to $110 million per year from 2014 to 2016.
Future pension contributions will be highly dependent on the Companys actual experience with such variables as investment returns, interest rate fluctuations and demographic changes, on the rate at which previous years voluntary prepayments are applied against pension contribution requirements, and on any changes in the regulatory environment. CP will continue to make contributions to the pension plans that, at a minimum, meet pension legislative requirements.
Deferred Income Taxes
A deferred income tax recovery of $15 million was included in total income tax expense for the second quarter of 2014 and an expense of $74 million for the first six months of 2014, compared with deferred income tax expense of $87 million and expense of $150 million for the same periods of 2013. The decrease in the second quarter and year to date deferred income tax expense compared to the same periods of 2013 was primarily due to an $80 million increase in current tax expense and a corresponding decrease in deferred tax expense related to the sale of the DM&E West in the second quarter of 2014, partially offset by higher pre-tax income. At June 30, 2014, deferred income tax liabilities of $2,870 million were recorded as a long-term liability and comprised largely of temporary differences related to accounting for properties. Deferred income tax benefits of $220 million realizable within one year were recorded as a current asset.

Legal and Personal Injury Liabilities
Provisions for incidents, claims and litigation charged to income, which are included in Purchased services and other expense, amounted to $4 million the second quarter of 2014 and $12 million for the first six months of 2014, compared with $20 million and $31 million for the same periods of 2013.
22. SYSTEMS, PROCEDURES AND CONTROLS
The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended)) to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to them.

The timing starts with a train arriving in the terminal, a customer releasing the car to the Company, or a car arriving that is to be transferred to another railway. The timing ends when the train leaves, a customer receives the car from CP or the freight car is transferred to another railway. Freight cars are excluded if they are being stored at the terminal or used in track repairs.
Average train length excluding local traffic: The average train length is the sum of each car and locomotives equipment length multiplied by the distance travelled, divided by train miles. Local trains are excluded from this measure.
Average train speed: The average speed measures the line-haul movement from origin to destination including terminal dwell hours calculated by dividing the total train miles traveled by the total hours operated. This calculation does not include the travel time or the distance traveled by: i) trains used in or around CPs yards; ii) passenger trains; and iii) trains used for repairing track.
Average train weight excluding local traffic: The average gross weight of CP trains, both loaded and empty. This excludes trains in short haul service, work trains used to move CPs track equipment and materials and the haulage of other railways trains on CPs network.
Car miles per car day: The total car-miles for a period divided by the total number of active cars. Total car-miles include the distance travelled by every car on a revenue-producing train and a train used in or around the Companys yards. A car-day is assumed to equal one active car-day. An active car is a revenue-producing car that is generating costs to CP on an hourly or mileage basis. Excluded from this count are i) cars that are not on the track or are being stored; ii) cars that are in need of repair; iii) cars that are used to carry materials for track repair; iv) cars owned by customers that are on the customers tracks; and v) cars that are idle and waiting to be reclaimed by CP.

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY LIMITED (CPRL)
Supplemental Financial Information (unaudited)
Exhibit to June 30, 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements
CONSOLIDATED EARNINGS COVERAGE RATIO MEDIUM TERM NOTES AND DEBT SECURITIES
The following ratio, based on the June 30, 2014 consolidated financial statements, is provided in connection with the continuous offering of medium term notes and debt securities by Canadian Pacific Railway Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPRL, and is for the twelve month period then ended.
Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2014 | ||
Earnings Coverage on long-term debt(1) (2) |
5.6x |
Notes:
(1) | Earnings coverage is equal to income before interest expense and income tax expense, divided by interest expense on all long-term debt plus the amount of interest that has been capitalized during the period. |
(2) | The earnings coverage ratio has been calculated excluding carrying charges for the $92 million in long-term debt maturing within one year reflected as current liabilities in CPRLs consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2014. If such long-term debt maturing within one year had been classified in its entirety as long-term debt for purposes of calculating the earnings coverage ratio, 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 ratio. For the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2014, earnings coverage on long-term debt would have been 5.5x. |
