NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2022

(unaudited)

1 Basis of presentation

These unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements ("Interim Consolidated Financial Statements") of Canadian Pacific Railway Limited ("CPRL") and its subsidiaries (collectively, “CP”, or “the Company”), expressed in Canadian dollars, reflect management’s estimates and assumptions that are necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). They do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2021 annual Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in CP's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies used are consistent with the accounting policies used in preparing the 2021 annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

In management’s opinion, the 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 Accounting changes

Implemented in 2022

Government Assistance

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the new Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-10, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), and all related amendments under FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 832, Government Assistance. The amendment is made to increase transparency by introducing specific disclosure requirements for entities who apply a grant or contribution model by analogy to account for transactions with a government. This update is applied to government assistance transactions within the scope of this amendment that are in the financial statements at the date of initial application and prospectively to new transactions entered into after initial application. See Note 9 for further discussion on government assistance.

All other accounting pronouncements that became effective during the period covered by the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Future changes

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities Acquired in a Business Combination

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This amendment introduces the requirement for an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than at fair value. This amendment will be effective prospectively from January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this amendment.

All other accounting pronouncements recently issued, but not effective until after September 30, 2022, have been assessed and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, legislation was enacted to decrease the Iowa state corporate income tax rate. As a result of this change, the Company recorded a deferred tax recovery of $12 million related to the revaluation of deferred income tax balances as at January 1, 2022.

The effective tax rates including discrete items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were 18.01% and 18.97%, respectively, compared to 26.36% and 21.00%, respectively for the same periods of 2021.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the effective tax rate was 24.25%, excluding the discrete items of the equity earnings of Kansas City Southern ("KCS") of $221 million, acquisition-related costs incurred by CP of $18 million, the deferred tax recovery of $12 million described above, and an outside basis deferred tax recovery of $9 million arising from the difference between the carrying amount of CP's investment in KCS for financial reporting and the underlying tax basis of this investment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the effective tax rate was 24.60%, excluding the discrete items of acquisition-related costs incurred by CP of $98 million, and a foreign exchange ("FX") loss of $46 million on debt and lease liabilities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the effective tax rate was 24.25%, excluding the discrete items of the equity earnings of KCS of $627 million, acquisition-related costs incurred by CP of $57 million, the deferred tax recovery of $12 million described above, and an outside basis deferred tax expense of $8 million arising from the difference between the carrying amount of CP's investment in KCS for financial reporting and the underlying tax basis of this investment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the effective tax rate was 24.60%, excluding the discrete items of acquisition-related costs incurred by CP of $442 million, the merger termination payment received in connection with KCS's termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Original Merger Agreement") of $845 million (U.S. $700 million), and an FX gain of $39 million on debt and lease liabilities.

6 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share has 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 the earnings per share calculations are reconciled as follows:


	For the three months ended September 30		For the nine months ended September 30
(in millions)	2022	2021	2022	2021
Weighted-average basic shares outstanding	930.0	666.9	929.9	666.7
Dilutive effect of stock options	2.9	2.9	2.9	3.1
Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding	932.9	669.8	932.8	669.8

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were nil and 0.3 million options, respectively, excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were not dilutive (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 - 0.2 million and 0.1 million, respectively).

9 Government assistance

By analogy to the grant model of accounting within International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, CP records government assistance from various levels of Canadian and U.S. governments and government agencies when the conditions of their receipt are complied with and there is reasonable assurance that the assistance will be received.

Government assistance related to properties has as a primary condition that CP should purchase, construct, or otherwise acquire property, plant and equipment. Under certain government assistance arrangements, there is a secondary condition that requires CP to repay a portion of the assistance if certain conditions related to the assets are not adhered to during a specified period. In these cases, it is CP's intention to comply with all conditions imposed by the terms of the government assistance. Government assistance received or receivable related to CP's property assets is deducted from the cost of the assets in the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets within "Properties" and amortized over the same period as the related assets in "Depreciation and amortization" in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received $6 million and $25 million, respectively, of government assistance towards the purchase and construction of properties.

As of September 30, 2022, the total Properties balance of $22,150 million is net of $279 million of unamortized government assistance (December 31, 2021 - $259 million), primarily related to the enhancement of CP's track and roadway infrastructure. Amortization expense related to government assistance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $3 million and $8 million, respectively.

10 Business acquisition

Kansas City Southern

The Company accounts for its investment in KCS using the equity method of accounting while the U.S. Surface Transportation Board ("STB") considers the Company's application to control KCS. The STB review of CP's proposed control of KCS while KCS is in the voting trust is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2023. The investment in KCS of $45,964 million as at September 30, 2022 includes $627 million of equity earnings of KCS and foreign currency translation of $3,445 million, offset by dividends of $593 million received in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Included within the $221 million and $627 million of equity earnings of KCS recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was amortization (net of tax), of the approximately $30 billion basis difference, representing the difference in value between the consideration paid to acquire KCS and the underlying carrying value of the net assets of KCS as at December 14, 2021, immediately prior to the acquisition by CP. The amortization (net of tax), recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $42 million and $121 million, respectively. The basis difference is related to depreciable property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with definite lives, and long-term debt, and is amortized over the related assets' remaining useful lives, and the remaining terms to maturity of the debt instruments.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $18 million and $57 million, in acquisition-related costs, respectively, recorded within "Purchased services and other" in the Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs of $12 million and $39 million incurred by KCS during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are included within "Equity earnings of Kansas City Southern" in the Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $98 million and $442 million, respectively, in acquisition-related costs associated with the Original Merger Agreement and Merger Agreement, of which $15 million and $147 million were recorded within "Purchased services and other" and $83 million and $295 million were recorded within "Other expense", respectively, including the amortization of financing fees associated with new credit facilities. Total financing fees paid for a bridge facility associated with the KCS acquisition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $nil and $45 million, respectively, presented under "Cash (used in) provided by financing activities" in the Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

On May 21, 2021, KCS terminated the Original Merger Agreement entered into on March 21, 2021 with CP to enter into a definitive agreement with Canadian National Railway ("CN"). At the same time and in accordance with the terms of the Original Merger Agreement, KCS paid CP a termination fee of $845 million (U.S. $700 million). This amount is reported as "Merger termination fee" in the Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. No similar items were received in the same period of 2022.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company remitted $1,773 million (U.S. $1,400 million) to KCS on September 15, 2021 in connection with KCS's payment of the CN merger termination fees, recorded within "Investment in KCS" in the Company's Balance Sheets.

11 Investment in KCS

The KCS investment carrying cost of $45,964 million reported on the Company's Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets as at September 30, 2022 reflects the consideration paid to acquire KCS, the asset recorded upon recognition of a deferred tax liability computed on an outside basis (see Note 5), the subsequent recognition of equity earnings, the dividends received from KCS, and foreign currency translation based on the quarter-end exchange rate.

The following table presents summarized financial information for KCS, on its historical cost basis:

(2) Includes Equity in net earnings of KCS's affiliates, Interest expense, FX loss, and Other income, net.

12 Debt

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repaid at maturity $125 million 5.100% 10-year Medium Term Notes, U.S. $250 million ($313 million) 4.500% 10-year Notes, and a U.S. $76 million ($97 million) 6.99% finance lease.

Credit facility

Effective March 14, 2022, the Company extended the maturity date of the U.S. $500 million unsecured non-revolving term credit facility (the "term facility") to September 15, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repaid U.S. $100 million ($132 million) of the term facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repaid in full the term facility's outstanding borrowings of U.S. $400 million ($504 million). The facility was automatically terminated on September 15, 2022 following the final principal repayment.

Commercial paper program

The Company has a commercial paper program which enables it to issue commercial paper up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of U.S. $1.0 billion in the form of unsecured promissory notes. This commercial paper program is backed by the U.S. $1.3 billion revolving credit facility. As at September 30, 2022, the Company had total commercial paper borrowings of U.S. $525 million ($720 million), included in "Long-term debt maturing within one year" on the Company's Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets (December 31, 2021 - U.S. $265 million). The weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings as at September 30, 2022 was 3.48% (December 31, 2021 - 0.32%). The Company presents issuances and repayments of commercial paper, all of which have a maturity of less than 90 days, in the Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on a net basis.

13 Financial instruments

A. Fair values of financial instruments

The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy established by GAAP that prioritizes those inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based on the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market.

The Company’s short-term financial instruments may include Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings including commercial paper and term loans. The carrying values of short-term financial instruments approximate their fair values.

The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt and finance lease liabilities does not approximate their fair value. Their estimated fair value has been determined based on market information, where available, or by discounting future payments of principal and interest at estimated interest rates expected to be available to the Company at period end. All measurements are classified as Level 2. The Company’s long-term debt and finance lease liabilities, including current maturities, with a carrying value of $19,855 million as at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $19,151 million), had a fair value of $17,472 million (December 31, 2021 - $21,265 million).

B. Financial risk management

FX management

Net investment hedge

The effect of the Company's net investment hedge for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was an unrealized FX loss of $440 million and $558 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 - unrealized FX loss of $168 million and $6 million, respectively) recognized in “Other comprehensive income”.

14 Shareholders' equity

On January 27, 2021, the Company announced a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"), commencing January 29, 2021, to purchase up to 16.7 million Common Shares in the open market for cancellation on or before January 28, 2022. Upon expiry of this NCIB, the Company had not purchased any Common Shares under this NCIB.

15 Pension and other benefits

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company made contributions to its defined benefit pension plans of $5 million and $12 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 - $4 million and $15 million, respectively).

Net periodic benefit costs for defined benefit pension plans and other benefits included the following components:


	For the three months ended September 30
	Pensions				Other benefits

16 Stock-based compensation

As at September 30, 2022, the Company had several stock-based compensation plans including stock option plans, various cash-settled liability plans, and an employee share purchase plan. These plans resulted in an expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $21 million and $67 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 - expense of $26 million and $75 million, respectively).

Stock option plans

In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, under CP’s stock option plans, the Company issued 836,379 options at the weighted-average price of $90.96 per share, based on the closing price on the grant date. Pursuant to the employee plan, these options may be exercised upon vesting, which is between 12 months and 48 months after the grant date, and will expire after seven years.

Under the fair value method, the fair value of the stock options at grant date was approximately $16 million. The weighted-average fair value assumptions were approximately:


			For the nine months ended September 30, 2022
Expected option life (years)(1)			4.75
Risk-free interest rate(2)			1.61%
Expected share price volatility(3)			26.84%
Expected annual dividends per share(4)			$0.760
Expected forfeiture rate(5)			3.00%
Weighted-average grant date fair value per option granted during the period			$18.79

(1)Represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding. Historical data on exercise behaviour or, when available, specific expectations regarding future exercise behaviour were used to estimate the expected life of the option.

(2)Based on the implied yield available on zero-coupon government issues with an equivalent term commensurate with the expected option life.

(3)Based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price over a period commensurate with the expected term of the option.

(4)Determined by the current annual dividend at the time of grant. The Company does not employ different dividend yields throughout the contractual term of the option.

(5)The Company estimates forfeitures based on past experience. This rate is monitored on a periodic basis.

Performance share unit plans

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 414,375 Performance Share Units ("PSUs") with a grant date fair value of approximately $36 million and 13,506 Performance Deferred Share Units ("PDSUs") with a grant date fair value, including the value of expected future matching units, of approximately $2 million. PSUs and PDSUs attract dividend equivalents in the form of additional units based on dividends paid on the Company’s Common Shares, and vest approximately three years after the grant date, contingent upon CP’s performance ("performance factor"). The fair value of these PSUs and PDSUs is measured periodically until settlement. Vested PSUs are settled in cash. Vested PDSUs are settled in cash pursuant to the Deferred Share Unit ("DSU") Plan and are eligible for a 25% match if the holder has not exceeded their share ownership requirements, and are paid out only when the holder ceases their employment with CP.

The performance period for PSUs and PDSUs issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 and the performance factors are Free Cash Flow ("FCF"), Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") Modifier, Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") compared to the S&P/TSX 60 Index, and TSR compared to S&P 500 Industrials Index.

The performance period for PSUs issued in 2019 was January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. The performance factors for 668,405 PSUs were Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC"), TSR compared to the S&P/TSX 60 Index, and TSR compared to Class I Railways. The resulting payout was 200% of the outstanding units multiplied by the Company's average share price calculated using the last 30 trading days preceding December 31, 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, payouts occurred on 631,457 total outstanding awards, including dividends reinvested, totalling $116 million.

Deferred share unit plan

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted 53,834 Deferred Share Units ("DSUs") with a grant date fair value of approximately $5 million. DSUs vest over various periods of up to 36 months and are only redeemable for a specified period after employment is terminated. The expense for DSUs is recognized over the vesting period for both the initial subscription price and the change in value between reporting periods.

17 Contingencies

In the normal course of its operations, the Company becomes involved in various legal actions, including claims relating to injuries and damage to property. The Company maintains provisions it considers to be adequate for such actions. While the final outcome with respect to actions outstanding or pending at September 30, 2022 cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations. However, an unexpected adverse resolution of one or more of these legal actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations, or liquidity in a particular quarter or fiscal year.

Legal proceedings related to Lac-Mégantic rail accident

On July 6, 2013, a train carrying petroleum crude oil operated by Montréal Maine and Atlantic Railway (“MMAR”) or a subsidiary, Montréal Maine & Atlantic Canada Co. (“MMAC” and collectively the “MMA Group”), derailed in Lac-Mégantic, Québec. The

derailment occurred on a section of railway owned and operated by the MMA Group and while the MMA Group exclusively controlled the train.

Following the derailment, MMAC sought court protection in Canada under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act and MMAR filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. Plans of arrangement were approved in both Canada and the U.S. (the “Plans”), providing for the distribution of approximately $440 million amongst those claiming derailment damages.

A number of legal proceedings, set out below, were commenced in Canada and the U.S. against CP and others:

(1)Québec's Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment, Wildlife and Parks ordered various parties, including CP, to remediate the derailment site (the "Cleanup Order") and served CP with a Notice of Claim for $95 million for those costs. CP appealed the Cleanup Order and contested the Notice of Claim with the Administrative Tribunal of Québec. These proceedings are stayed pending determination of the Attorney General of Québec (“AGQ”) action (paragraph 2 below).

(2)The AGQ sued CP in the Québec Superior Court claiming $409 million in damages, which was amended and reduced to $315 million (the “AGQ Action”). The AGQ Action alleges that: (i) CP was responsible for the petroleum crude oil from its point of origin until its delivery to Irving Oil Ltd.; and (ii) CP is vicariously liable for the acts and omissions of the MMA Group.

(3)A class action in the Québec Superior Court on behalf of persons and entities residing in, owning or leasing property in, operating a business in, or physically present in Lac-Mégantic at the time of the derailment was certified against CP on May 8, 2015 (the "Class Action"). Other defendants including MMAC and Mr. Thomas Harding ("Harding") were added to the Class Action on January 25, 2017. On November 28, 2019, the plaintiffs' motion to discontinue their action against Harding was granted. The Class Action seeks unquantified damages, including for wrongful death, personal injury, property damage, and economic loss.

(4)Eight subrogated insurers sued CP in the Québec Superior Court claiming approximately $16 million in damages, which was amended and reduced to approximately $15 million (the “Promutuel Action”), and two additional subrogated insurers sued CP claiming approximately $3 million in damages (the “Royal Action”). Both actions contain similar allegations as the AGQ Action. The actions do not identify the subrogated parties. As such, the extent of any overlap between the damages claimed in these actions and under the Plans is unclear. The Royal Action is stayed pending determination of the consolidated proceedings described below.

On December 11, 2017, the AGQ Action, the Class Action and the Promutuel Action were consolidated. The joint liability trial of these consolidated claims commenced on September 21, 2021 with oral arguments ending on June 15, 2022. A decision is expected by December 15, 2022. A damages trial will follow if necessary.

(5)Forty-eight plaintiffs (all individual claims joined in one action) sued CP, MMAC, and Harding in the Québec Superior Court claiming approximately $5 million in damages for economic loss and pain and suffering, and asserting similar allegations as in the Class Action and the AGQ Action. The majority of the plaintiffs opted-out of the Class Action and all but two are also plaintiffs in litigation against CP, described in paragraph 7 below. This action is stayed pending determination of the consolidated claims described above.

(6)The MMAR U.S. bankruptcy estate representative commenced an action against CP in November 2014 in the Maine Bankruptcy Court claiming that CP failed to abide by certain regulations and seeking approximately U.S. $30 million in damages for MMAR’s loss in business value according to a recent expert report filed by the bankruptcy estate. This action asserts that CP knew or ought to have known that the shipper misclassified the petroleum crude oil and therefore should have refused to transport it. Summary judgment motion was argued and taken under advisement on June 9, 2022, and decision is pending.

(7)The class and mass tort action commenced against CP in June 2015 in Texas (on behalf of Lac-Mégantic residents and wrongful death representatives) and the wrongful death and personal injury actions commenced against CP in June 2015 in Illinois and Maine, were all transferred and consolidated in Federal District Court in Maine (the “Maine Actions”). The Maine Actions allege that CP negligently misclassified and improperly packaged the petroleum crude oil. On CP’s motion, the Maine Actions were dismissed. The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal decision to the United States First Circuit Court of Appeals, which dismissed the plaintiffs' appeal on June 2, 2021. The plaintiffs further petitioned the United States First Circuit Court of Appeals for a rehearing, which was denied on September 8, 2021. On January 24, 2022, the plaintiffs further appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court on two bankruptcy procedural grounds. On May 31, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition, thereby rejecting the plaintiffs' appeal.

(8)The trustee for the wrongful death trust commenced Carmack Amendment claims against CP in North Dakota Federal Court, seeking to recover approximately U.S. $6 million for damaged rail cars and lost crude and reimbursement for the settlement paid by the consignor and the consignee under the Plans (alleged to be U.S. $110 million and U.S. $60 million, respectively). The Court issued an Order on August 6, 2020 granting and denying in parts the parties' summary judgment motions which has been reviewed and confirmed following motions by the parties for clarification and reconsideration. Final briefs of

dispositive motions for summary judgment and for reconsideration on tariff applicability were submitted on September 30, 2022. In the event the dispositive motions are denied, this action is scheduled for trial from February 27 to March 2, 2023.

At this stage of the proceedings, any potential responsibility and the quantum of potential losses cannot be determined. Nevertheless, CP denies liability and is vigorously defending these proceedings.

Court decision related to Remington Development Corporation legal claim

On October 20, 2022, the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta issued a decision in a claim brought by Remington Development Corporation (“Remington”) against the Company and the Province of Alberta (“Alberta”) with respect to an alleged breach of contract by the Company in relation to the sale of certain properties in Calgary. In its decision, the Court found the Company had breached its contract with Remington and Alberta had induced the contract breach. The Court found the Company and Alberta liable for damages of approximately $164 million plus interest and costs, and subject to an adjustment to the acquisition value of the property. However, the court has not provided any indication of how the damages, which are currently estimated to total approximately $200 million before Remington’s costs are established, should be apportioned between the Company and Alberta. As a result, at this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of damages, or range of damages, for which it is liable under the ruling of the Court and no amount has been accrued in the Company’s financial statements as at September 30, 2022. The Company plans to appeal the Court’s decision.

Environmental liabilities

Environmental remediation accruals, recorded on an undiscounted basis unless a reliable, determinable estimate as to an amount and timing of costs can be established, cover site-specific remediation programs.

The accruals for environmental remediation represent CP’s best estimate of its probable future obligation and include both asserted and unasserted claims, without reduction for anticipated recoveries from third parties. Although the recorded accruals include CP’s best estimate of all probable costs, CP’s 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, and as 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, 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” in the Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $1 million and $5 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 - $2 million and $6 million, respectively). Provisions for environmental remediation costs are recorded in the Company's Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Other long-term liabilities”, except for the current portion, which is recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”. The total amount provided as at September 30, 2022 was $85 million (December 31, 2021 - $79 million). Payments are expected to be made over 10 years through 2031.

Executive Summary

Third Quarter of 2022 Results

•Financial performance - In the third quarter of 2022, CP reported Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.96, an increase of 37% compared to the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to equity earnings of Kansas City Southern ("KCS"), higher volumes as measured by revenue ton-miles ("RTMs"), and the favourable impact of changes in fuel prices, partially offset by a higher average number of shares outstanding due to shares issued related to the KCS acquisition and higher interest expense primarily due to debt issued related to the KCS acquisition. Core adjusted diluted EPS was $1.01 in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 15% compared to the same period of 2021. This increase was due to the same factors discussed above for the increase in Diluted EPS, except that Core adjusted EPS excludes the impact of KCS purchase accounting, acquisition-related costs, deferred tax recovery due to Iowa state tax rate change, deferred tax recovery on the outside basis difference of the investment in KCS, as well as FX loss on debt and lease liabilities recognized in 2021.

CP reported Net income of $891 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 89% compared to the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to equity earnings of KCS, higher volumes as measured by RTMs, and the favourable impact of changes in fuel prices, partially offset by higher interest expense primarily due to debt issued related to the KCS acquisition. Core adjusted income was $945 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 60% compared to the same period of 2021. This increase was due to the same factors discussed above for the increase in Net income, except that Core adjusted income excludes the impact of KCS purchase accounting, acquisition-related costs, deferred tax recovery due to Iowa state tax rate change, deferred tax recovery on the outside basis difference of the investment in KCS, as well as FX loss on debt and lease liabilities recognized in 2021.

CP reported an Operating ratio of 59.5% in the third quarter of 2022, a 70 basis point improvement compared to the same period of 2021. Adjusted operating ratio was 58.7%, a 70 basis point improvement compared to the same period of 2021. These improvements were primarily due to higher volumes as measured by RTMs and higher freight rates, partially offset cost inflation.

Core adjusted diluted EPS, Core adjusted income, and Adjusted operating ratio are defined and reconciled in Non-GAAP Measures and discussed further in Results of Operations of this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

•Total revenues - Total revenues increased by 19% in the third quarter of 2022 to $2,312 million compared to the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM and higher volumes as measured by RTMs.

•Operating performance - CP's average train weight increased by 3% to 10,247 tons and average train length increased by 4% to 8,578 feet, compared to the same period in 2021. These increases were a result of improvements in operating plan efficiency and continued improvements in bulk train efficiency due to moving heavier and longer Potash trains. These

metrics are discussed further in Performance Indicators of this Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Recent Developments

•On March 16, 2022, CP issued a 72-hour notice to the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference ("TCRC") - Train & Engine, of its plan to lock-out employees at 00:01 Eastern Time on March 20, 2022 if the TCRC leadership and the Company were unable to come to a negotiated settlement or agree to binding arbitration. The TCRC represents approximately 3,000 locomotive engineers, conductors, and train and yard workers across Canada. On March 19, 2022, while the Company was still engaged in ongoing negotiations facilitated by federal mediators, the TCRC withdrew its services in the final hours before the deadline for a legal strike or lockout to potentially occur. On March 22, 2022, CP reached an agreement with the TCRC Negotiating Committee to enter into binding arbitration. This agreement enabled CP employees to return to work effective noon March 22, 2022 local time to resume our essential services for our customers and the North American supply chain.

The work stoppage resulted in lower volumes during the first quarter. Once the TCRC members returned to work on March 22, 2022, the Company quickly re-established service.

On August 15, 2022, CP entered into a new two-year collective agreement with the TCRC following binding arbitration. The new agreement includes a 3.5 percent wage increase in 2022 and 2023 and increased benefits. Under the arbitration decision, the TCRC will also join a CP pension improvement account. The new collective agreement is effective from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023.

Prior Developments

•On July 20, 2022, KCS and its affiliate Kansas City Southern de México, S.A. de C.V. ("KCSM") announced an agreement extending the concession exclusivity rights granted to KCSM for an additional 10 years.

KCSM reached an agreement with the Mexican Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation ("SICT") to fund a new investment in the Celaya-NBA Line Railway Bypass and other infrastructure. As part of the agreement, the SICT has authorized the amendment of KCSM's Concession Title effective July 14, 2022, to extend the exclusivity rights granted to KCSM for an additional period of 10 years. Under this amendment, KCSM's exclusivity will now expire in 2037.

The U.S. Surface Transportation Board's ("STB") review of CP's proposed control of KCS is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2023. Prior to obtaining STB control approval, KCS's management and Board of Directors will continue to steward KCS while it is in trust, pursuing its independent business plan and growth strategies.

Specific risk factors related to the KCS acquisition and pending KCS business combination are provided in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

•On April 27, 2022, at the Company's Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, all nine director nominees were elected.

Continued monitoring of these key measures ensures that the Company can take appropriate actions to ensure the delivery of superior service and be able to grow its business at low incremental cost.

Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021

•A GTM is defined as the movement of one ton of train weight over one mile. GTMs are calculated by multiplying total train weight by the distance the train moved. Total train weight comprises the weight of the freight cars, their contents, and any inactive locomotives. An increase in GTMs indicates additional workload. GTMs increased by 6% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This increase was mainly attributable to higher volumes of Intermodal, Potash and frac sand. This increase was partially offset by lower volumes of Coal and Canadian grain.

•Train miles are defined as the sum of the distance moved by all trains operated on the network. Train miles provide a measure of the productive utilization of our network. A smaller increase in train miles relative to increases in volumes, as measured by RTMs, and/or workload, as measured by GTMs, indicate improved train productivity. Train miles increased by 3% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This increase reflects the impact of a 6% increase in workload (GTMs), partially offset by a 3% increase in average train weights.

•Average train weight is defined as the average gross weight of CP trains, both loaded and empty. This excludes trains in short-haul service, work trains used to move CP’s track equipment and materials, and the haulage of other railways’ trains on CP’s network. An increase in average train weight indicates improved asset utilization and may also be the result of moving heavier commodities. Average train weight increased by 3% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This increase was a result of improvements in operating plan efficiency and proportionally higher volumes of Potash, which is a heavier commodity.

•Average train length is defined as the average total length of CP trains, both loaded and empty. This includes all cars and locomotives on the train and is calculated as the sum of each car or locomotive's length multiplied by the distance travelled, divided by train miles. This excludes trains in short-haul service, work trains used to move CP’s track equipment and materials, and the haulage of other railways’ trains on CP’s network. An increase in average train length indicates improved asset utilization. Average train length increased by 4% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This increase was a result of improvements in operating plan efficiency and higher volumes of Intermodal and Potash, which move in longer trains.

•Average terminal dwell is defined as the average time a freight car resides within terminal boundaries expressed in hours. The timing starts with a train arriving at the terminal, a customer releasing the car to the Company, or a car arriving at interchange from 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. A decrease in average terminal dwell indicates improved terminal performance resulting in faster cycle times and improved railcar utilization. Average terminal dwell increased by 8% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, primarily as a result of moving proportionally lower volumes of bulk commodities, which require less processing times in yards.

•Average train speed is defined as a measure of the line-haul movement from origin to destination including terminal dwell hours. It is calculated by dividing the total train miles travelled by the total train hours operated. This calculation does not include delay time related to customers or foreign railroads and excludes the time and distance travelled by: i) trains used in or around CP’s yards; ii) passenger trains; and iii) trains used for repairing track. An increase in average train speed indicates improved on-time performance resulting in improved asset utilization. Average train speed decreased by 1% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This decrease is primarily as a result of increased track and roadway programs.

•Locomotive productivity is defined as the daily average GTMs divided by daily average operating horsepower. Operating horsepower excludes units offline, tied up or in storage, or in use on other railways, and includes foreign units online. An increase in locomotive productivity indicates more efficient locomotive utilization and may also be the result of moving heavier commodities. Locomotive productivity was flat in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

•Fuel efficiency is defined as U.S. gallons of locomotive fuel consumed per 1,000 GTMs. Fuel consumed includes gallons from freight, yard and commuter service but excludes fuel used in capital projects and other non-freight activities. An improvement in fuel efficiency indicates operational cost savings and CP's commitment to corporate sustainability through a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions intensity. Fuel efficiency decreased by 2% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This decrease in efficiency was due to higher volumes of Intermodal, which has lower horsepower utilization.

Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021

•GTMs decreased by 4% for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This decrease was mainly attributable to lower volumes of Canadian grain, Coal, and Energy, chemicals and plastics. This decrease was partially offset by higher volumes of U.S. grain, Intermodal, Potash, and frac sand.

•Train miles decreased by 5% for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This decrease reflected the impact of a 4% decrease in workload (GTMs) and a 1% increase in average train weights.

•Average train weight increased by 1% for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This increase was a result of improvements in operating plan efficiency and moving longer and heavier Potash trains. This increase was partially offset by moving lower volumes of Canadian grain and Coal, which are heavier commodities.

•Average train length increased by 2% for the first nine months of 2022 from the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to improvements in operating plan efficiency and higher volumes of Intermodal and Potash, which move in longer trains.

•Average terminal dwell increased by 13% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily as a result of proportionally lower volumes of bulk commodities, which require less processing time in yards, and harsher winter operating conditions in the first quarter of 2022.

•Average train speed was flat in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

•Locomotive productivity decreased by 4% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, as a result of harsher winter operating conditions in the first quarter of 2022.

•Fuel efficiency decreased by 2% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This decrease in efficiency was due to lower locomotive productivity and harsher winter operating conditions in the first quarter of 2022, and lower volumes of Canadian grain, which has higher horsepower utilization.

Total Employees and Workforce

An employee is defined as an individual currently engaged in full-time, part-time, or seasonal employment with CP while workforce is defined as total employees plus contractors and consultants. The Company monitors employment and workforce levels in order to efficiently meet service and strategic requirements. The number of employees is a key driver to total compensation and benefits costs.

The average number of total employees increased by 4% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and was flat for the nine months ended, compared to the same periods of 2021. The total number of employees and total workforce as at September 30, 2022 increased 7% compared to September 30, 2021. The increase in average number of employees for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and the increase in total employees and workforce as at September 30, 2022 were due to increased workload as measured in GTMs.

Safety Indicators

Safety is a key priority and core strategy for CP’s management, employees, and Board of Directors. Personal injuries and train accidents are indicators of the effectiveness of the Company's safety systems, and are used by management to evaluate and, as necessary, alter the Company's safety systems, procedures, and protocols. Each measure follows U.S. FRA reporting guidelines, which can result in restatement after initial publication to reflect new information available within specified periods stipulated by the FRA but that exceed the Company's financial reporting timeline.

The FRA personal injuries per 200,000 employee-hours frequency is the number of personal injuries, multiplied by 200,000 and divided by total employee hours. Personal injuries are defined as injuries that require employees to lose time away from work, modify their normal duties or obtain medical treatment beyond minor first aid. FRA employee-hours are the total hours worked, excluding vacation and sick time, by all employees, excluding contractors. The FRA personal injuries per 200,000 employee-hours frequency for CP was 0.86 in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease from 0.98 in the same period of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, the FRA personal injury rate per 200,000 employee-hours for CP was 0.96, a decrease from 0.98 in the same period of 2021.

The FRA train accidents per million train-miles frequency is the number of train accidents, multiplied by 1,000,000 and divided by total train miles. Train accidents included in this metric meet or exceed the FRA reporting threshold of U.S. $11,300 in 2022 and U.S. $11,200 in damage for 2021. The FRA train accidents per million train-miles was 0.37 in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease from 1.54 in the same period of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, the FRA train accidents per million train-miles was 0.84, a decrease from 1.13 in the same period of 2021.

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021

Income

Operating income was $937 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $163 million, or 21%, from $774 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•higher freight volumes as measured by RTMs;

•the favourable impact of changes in fuel prices of $84 million;

•higher freight rates; and

•lower casualty costs.

This increase was partially offset by lower crude liquidated damages, including customer volume commitments, due to the completion of customer contracts and cost inflation.

Adjusted operating income was $955 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $166 million, or 21%, from $789 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was due to the same factors discussed above for the increase in Operating income.

Net income was $891 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $419 million, or 89%, from $472 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•equity earnings of KCS of $221 million;

•higher operating income of $163 million;

•lower acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS acquisition of $83 million in Other expense; and

•no FX translation loss on U.S. dollar-denominated debt and lease liabilities compared to $46 million recognized in 2021.

This increase was partially offset by higher interest expense primarily due to debt issued related to the KCS acquisition and higher income tax expense as a result of higher taxable earnings.

Core adjusted income was $945 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $353 million, or 60%, from $592 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was due to equity earnings of KCS, excluding the impact of KCS purchase accounting of $42 million and acquisition-related costs of $12 million and higher Adjusted operating income of $166 million.

This increase was partially offset by higher interest expense primarily due to debt issued related to the KCS acquisition and higher income tax expense due to higher taxable earnings.

Diluted Earnings per Share

Diluted EPS was $0.96 in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $0.26, or 37%, from $0.70 in the same period of 2021. This increase was due to higher Net income, partially offset by a higher average number of outstanding shares due to shares issued for the KCS acquisition.

Core adjusted diluted EPS was $1.01 in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $0.13, or 15%, from $0.88 in the same period of 2021. This increase was due to higher Core adjusted income, partially offset by a higher average number of outstanding shares due to shares issued for the KCS acquisition.

Operating Ratio

The Operating ratio provides the percentage of revenues used to operate the railway. A lower percentage normally indicates higher efficiency in the operation of the railway. The Company’s Operating ratio was 59.5% in the third quarter of 2022, a 70 basis point improvement from 60.2% in the same period of 2021. This improvement was primarily due to:

•higher freight volumes as measured by RTMs;

•higher freight rates; and

•lower casualty costs.

This improvement was partially offset by:

•cost inflation;

•lower crude liquidated damages, including customer volume commitments, due to the completion of customer contracts; and

•a decrease in fuel efficiency of 2% due to higher volumes of Intermodal, which has lower horsepower utilization.

Adjusted operating ratio was 58.7% in the third quarter of 2022, a 70 basis point improvement from 59.4% in the same period of 2021. This improvement was primarily due to the same factors discussed above for the improvement in Operating ratio, except that Adjusted operating ratio excludes the acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS acquisition that were recognized in Purchased services and other in both periods.

Adjusted operating income, Core adjusted income, Core adjusted diluted EPS, and Adjusted Operating ratio are defined and reconciled in Non-GAAP Measures of this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Return on Average Shareholders' Equity and Adjusted Return on Invested Capital

Return on average shareholders' equity and Adjusted ROIC are measures used by management to determine how productively the Company uses its long-term capital investments, representing critical indicators of good operating and investment decisions. Adjusted ROIC is also an important performance criteria in determining certain elements of the Company's long-term incentive plan.

Return on average shareholders' equity was 11.8% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022, a 2,480 basis point decrease compared to 36.6% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to higher average shareholders' equity driven by shares issued for the KCS acquisition and lower accumulated Net income.

Adjusted ROIC was 8.9% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022, a 700 basis point decrease compared to 15.9% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to shares and higher average long-term debt issued for the KCS acquisition, partially offset by higher Adjusted income. Adjusted ROIC is a Non-GAAP measure, which is defined and reconciled from Return on average shareholders' equity, the most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, in Non-GAAP Measures of this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021

Income

Operating income was $2,340 million in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $34 million, or 1%, from $2,374 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to:

•lower volumes as measured by RTMs;

•lower crude liquidated damages, including customer volume commitments, due to the completion of customer contracts;

•cost inflation; and

•a gain on exchange of property and construction easements in Chicago of $50 million in 2021.

This decrease was partially offset by:

•higher freight rates;

•the favourable impact of changes in fuel prices of $137 million; and

•lower acquisition-related costs of $90 million associated with the KCS acquisition that were recognized in Purchased services and other.

Adjusted operating income was $2,397 million in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $124 million, or 5%, from $2,521 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease reflected the same factors discussed above for the decrease in Operating income, except that Adjusted operating income excludes the acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS acquisition that were recognized in Purchased services and other in both periods.

Net income was $2,246 million in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $74 million, or 3%, from $2,320 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to:

•the $845 million merger termination payment received in the second quarter of 2021 in connection with KCS's termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Original Merger Agreement");

•higher interest expense primarily due to debt issued related to the KCS acquisition;

•no FX translation gain on U.S. dollar-denominated debt and lease liabilities compared to $39 million recognized in 2021; and

•lower Operating income of $34 million.

This decrease was partially offset by:

•equity earnings of KCS of $627 million;

•lower acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS transaction of $295 million in Other expense; and

•lower income tax expense due to lower taxable earnings.

Core adjusted income was $2,455 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $574 million, or 31%, from $1,881 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was due to equity earnings of KCS, excluding the impact of KCS purchase accounting of $121 million and acquisition-related costs of $39 million, and lower income tax expense due to lower taxable earnings, partially offset by higher interest expense primarily due to debt issued related to the KCS acquisition and lower Adjusted operating income of $124 million.

Diluted Earnings per Share

Diluted EPS was $2.41 in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $1.05, or 30%, from $3.46 in the same period of 2021. This decrease was due to a higher average number of outstanding shares driven by shares issued for the KCS acquisition and lower Net income.

Core adjusted diluted EPS was $2.63 in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $0.18, or 6%, from $2.81 in the same period of 2021. This decrease was due to a higher average number of outstanding shares driven by shares issued for the KCS acquisition, partially offset by higher Core adjusted income.

Operating Ratio

The Company’s Operating ratio was 63.2% in the first nine months of 2022, a 310 basis point increase from 60.1% in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•cost inflation;

•lower crude liquidated damages, including customer volume commitments, due to the completion of customer contracts; and

•the unfavourable impact of changes in fuel prices, net of fuel recoveries;

•lower volumes as measured by RTMs; and

•a gain on the exchange of property and construction easements in Chicago in 2021.

This increase was partially offset by higher freight rates and lower acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS acquisition that were recognized in Purchased services and other.

Adjusted operating ratio was 62.3% in the first nine months of 2022, a 460 basis point increase from 57.7% in the same period of 2021. This increase was due to the same factors as discussed above for the increase in operating ratio, except that Adjusted operating ratio excludes the acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS transaction that were recognized in Purchased services and other in both periods.

Impact of FX on Earnings

Fluctuations in FX affect the Company’s 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.

On October 21, 2022, the noon buying rate certified for customs purposes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of New York was U.S. $1.00 = $1.37 Canadian dollar.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, the average exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar expressed in the Canadian dollar equivalent of one U.S. dollar, the high and low exchange rates and period end exchange rates for the periods indicated. Average for year-end periods are calculated by using the exchange rates on the last day of each full month during the relevant period. These rates are based on the noon buying rate certified for customs purposes by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of New York set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board.


Average exchange rates (Canadian/U.S. dollar)	2022		2021
For the three months ended - September 30	$	1.31	$	1.26
For the nine months ended - September 30	$	1.28	$	1.25

High	$	1.38	$	1.29	$	1.38	$	1.29
Low	$	1.27	$	1.23	$	1.25	$	1.20

In the third quarter of 2022, the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar resulted in an increase in total revenues of $31 million, an increase in total operating expenses of $17 million, and an increase in interest expense of $2 million from the same period of 2021. In the first nine months of 2022, the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar resulted in an increase in total revenues of $65 million, an increase in total operating expenses of $34 million, and an increase in interest expense of $6 million from the same period of 2021.

There was no material change in the impact of FX on total revenues and operating expenses during the third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the information provided in Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk in CP's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Impact of Fuel Price on Earnings

Fluctuations in fuel prices affect the Company’s results because fuel expense constitutes a significant portion of CP's operating costs. As fuel prices fluctuate, there will be an impact on earnings due to the timing of recoveries from CP's fuel cost adjustment program. The following table indicates the average fuel price for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the comparative periods of 2021.


Average Fuel Price (U.S. dollars per U.S. gallon)	2022		2021
For the three months ended - September 30	$	4.33	$	2.70
For the nine months ended - September 30	$	4.13	$	2.59

The impact of fuel prices on earnings includes the impacts of carbon taxes, levies, and obligations under cap-and-trade programs recovered and paid, on revenues and expenses, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2022, the favourable impact of fuel prices on Operating income was $84 million. Higher fuel prices, the favourable impact of the timing of recoveries under CP's fuel cost adjustment program, and increased carbon tax recoveries resulted in an increase in Total revenues of $206 million. Higher fuel prices resulted in an increase in Total operating expenses of $122 million from the same period of 2021.

In the first nine months of 2022, the favourable impact of fuel prices on Operating income was $137 million. Higher fuel prices and increased carbon tax recoveries resulted in an increase in Total revenues of $511 million. Higher fuel prices resulted in Total operating expenses of $374 million from the same period of 2021.

Impact of Share Price on Earnings

Fluctuations in the Common Share price affect the Company's operating expenses because share-based liabilities are measured at fair value. The Company's Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") with ticker symbol "CP". The following tables indicate the opening and closing Common Share price on the TSX and the NYSE for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the comparative periods in 2021.


TSX (in Canadian dollars)	2022		2021

Change in Common Share price for the nine months ended September 30	$	(5.22)	$	(4.27)

In the third quarter of 2022, the impact of the change in Common Share prices resulted in a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $3 million compared to a decrease of $27 million in the same period of 2021.

In the first nine months of 2022, the impact of the change in Common Share prices resulted in a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $6 million compared to a decrease of $10 million in the same period of 2021.

The impact of share price on stock-based compensation is discussed further in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, Share Price Impact on Stock-Based Compensation.

Operating Revenues

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from transporting freight. Changes in freight volumes generally contribute to corresponding changes in freight revenues and certain variable expenses, such as fuel, equipment rents, and crew costs. Non-freight revenue is generated from leasing of certain assets; other arrangements, including contracts with passenger service operators and logistical services; and interline switching fees.

(1)FX Adjusted % Change does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. FX Adjusted % Change is defined and reconciled in Non-GAAP Measures of this Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Freight revenues were $2,264 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $368 million, or 19%, from $1,896 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM and higher volumes as measured by RTMs.

RTMs are defined as the movement of one revenue-producing ton of freight over a distance of one mile. RTMs measure the relative weight and distance of rail freight moved by the Company. RTMs for the third quarter of 2022 were 37,569 million, an increase of 2,178 million, or 6%, from 35,391 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was mainly attributable to higher volumes of Intermodal, Potash, and frac sand. This increase was partially offset by lower volumes of Coal and Canadian grain.

Freight revenue per RTM is defined as freight revenue per revenue-producing ton of freight over a distance of one mile. This is an indicator of yield. Freight revenue per RTM was 6.03 cents in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 0.67 cents, or 13%, from 5.36 cents in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices of $206 million, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in FX of $31 million. This increase was partially offset by lower crude liquidated damages, including customer volume commitments, due to the completion of customer contracts.

Carloads are defined as revenue-generating shipments of containers and freight cars. Carloads were 730.0 thousand in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 65.0 thousand, or 10%, from 665.0 thousand in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher volumes of Intermodal, Potash, and frac sand. This increase was partially offset by lower volumes of crude.

Freight revenue per carload is defined as freight revenue per revenue-generating shipment of containers or freight cars. This is an indicator of yield. Freight revenue per carload was $3,101 in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $250, or 9%, from $2,851 in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices of $206 million, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in FX of $31 million. This increase was partially offset by lower crude liquidated damages, including customer volume commitments, due to the completion of customer contracts.

Non-freight revenues were $48 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $2 million, or 4%, from $46 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher interline switching fees.


For the nine months ended September 30	2022		2021		Total Change		% Change	FX Adjusted % Change(1)

Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	5.68		5.12		0.56		11	10

Freight revenues were $6,214 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $392 million, or 7%, from $5,822 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM, partially offset by lower volumes as measured by RTMs.

RTMs for the first nine months of 2022 were 109,355 million, a decrease of 4,370 million, or 4% from 113,725 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was mainly attributable to lower volumes of Canadian grain, Coal, and Energy, chemicals and plastics. This decrease was partially offset by higher volumes of U.S. grain, Intermodal, Potash, and frac sand.

Freight revenue per RTM was 5.68 cents in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of 0.56 cents, or 11%, from 5.12 cents in the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices of $511 million, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in FX of $64 million. This increase was partially offset by lower crude liquidated damages, including customer volume commitments, due to the completion of customer contracts.

Carloads were 2,068.4 thousand in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of 11.5 thousand, or 1%, from 2,079.9 thousand in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to lower volumes of Canadian grain, Energy, chemicals and plastics, Coal, and Automotive. This decrease was partially offset by higher volumes of Intermodal, frac sand, and Potash.

Freight revenue per carload was $3,004 in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $205, or 7%, from $2,799 in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices of $511 million, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in FX of $64 million. This increase was partially offset by lower crude liquidated damages, including customer volume commitments, due to the completion of customer contracts.

Non-freight revenues were $138 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $5 million, or 4%, from $133 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher revenue from passenger service operators and higher leasing revenue, partially offset by lower revenue from logistical services.

Fuel Cost Adjustment Program

Freight revenues include fuel surcharge revenues associated with CP's fuel cost adjustment program, which is designed to respond to fluctuations in fuel prices and help reduce exposure to changing fuel prices. The surcharge is applied to shippers through tariffs and by contract, within agreed-upon guidelines. This program includes recoveries of carbon taxes, levies, and obligations under cap-and-trade programs. Freight revenues included fuel surcharge revenues of $393 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $245 million, or 166%, from $148 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher fuel prices, higher volumes, and increased carbon tax recoveries.

In the first nine months of 2022, fuel surcharge revenues were $941 million, an increase of $575 million, or 157%, from $366 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher fuel prices and increased carbon tax recoveries.

Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	5.16		4.56		0.60		13	11

Grain revenue was $391 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $39 million, or 11%, from $352 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM and higher volumes of U.S. corn from the U.S. Midwest to western Canada. This increase was partially offset by lower volumes of Canadian grain primarily to eastern Canada and Vancouver due to drought conditions that impacted the 2021-2022 Canadian crop size, as well as a delayed harvest for the 2022-2023 crop year. Freight revenue per RTM increased due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in FX.

Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	4.80		4.36		0.44		10	9

Grain revenue was $1,121 million in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $123 million, or 10%, from $1,244 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to lower volumes of Canadian grain to Vancouver and eastern Canada due to drought conditions that impacted the 2021-2022 Canadian crop size. This decrease was partially offset by higher volumes of U.S. corn from the U.S. Midwest to western Canada and increased freight revenue per RTM. Freight revenue per RTM increased due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in FX. RTMs decreased less than carloads due to moving higher volumes of U.S. corn from the U.S. Midwest to western Canada, which has a longer length of haul.

Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	4.04		3.65		0.39		11	10

Coal revenue was $156 million in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $2 million, or 1%, from $158 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to lower volumes of Canadian coal to Vancouver as a result of production challenges at the mines. This decrease was partially offset by increased freight revenue per RTM and higher volumes of Canadian coal to Kamloops, B.C. Freight revenue per RTM increased due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in FX. RTMs decreased more than carloads due to moving lower volumes

of Canadian coal to Vancouver, which has a longer length of haul, and moving higher volumes of Canadian coal to Kamloops, B.C., which has a shorter length of haul.

Coal revenue was $458 million in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $33 million, or 7%, from $491 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to lower volumes of Canadian coal to Vancouver as a result of production challenges at the mines, partially offset by higher volumes of Canadian coal to Kamloops, B.C. and increased freight revenue per RTM. Freight revenue per RTM increased due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices and higher freight rates. RTMs decreased more than carloads due to moving lower volumes of Canadian coal to Vancouver, which has a longer length of haul, and moving higher volumes of Canadian coal to Kamloops, B.C., which has a shorter length of haul.

Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	3.29		2.87		0.42		15	13

Potash revenue was $170 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $57 million, or 50%, from $113 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher volumes of export potash to Vancouver as a result of the prior year impacts of the B.C. wildfires, higher volumes of export potash to Thunder Bay, higher volumes of domestic potash as a result of the prior year impact of mine closures, and increased freight revenue per RTM. Freight revenue per RTM increased due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in FX. RTMs increased more than carloads due to moving higher volumes of export potash to Vancouver, which has a longer length of haul.


For the nine months ended September 30	2022		2021		Total Change		% Change	FX Adjusted % Change(1)

Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	3.11		2.74		0.37		14	12

Potash revenue was $445 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $97 million, or 28%, from $348 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM and higher volumes of export potash to Vancouver, Thunder Bay, and the U.S. Pacific Northwest. This increase was partially offset by lower volumes of domestic potash. Freight revenue per RTM increased due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in FX. RTMs increased more than carloads due to moving higher volumes of export potash, which has a longer length of haul.

Fertilizers and sulphur revenue was $81 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $9 million, or 13%, from $72 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM and higher volumes of dry fertilizers, partially offset by lower volumes of sulphur and wet fertilizers. Freight revenue per RTM increased due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in FX.

Forest products revenue was $109 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $20 million, or 22%, from $89 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM and higher volumes of lumber, partially offset by lower volumes of paperboard. Freight revenue per RTM increased due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in FX. RTMs increased while carloads decreased due to moving higher volumes of lumber from western Canada to the U.S. Midwest, which has a longer length of haul, and lower volumes of paperboard from Kansas City and Minneapolis to the U.S. Midwest, which have shorter lengths of haul.

Forest products revenue was $299 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $40 million, or 15%, from $259 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM, higher volumes of newsprint from Saint John, N.B., and higher volumes of paper and panel products from B.C. This increase was partially offset by lower volumes of lumber. Freight revenue per RTM increased due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in FX.

Energy, chemicals and plastics revenue was $360 million in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $32 million, or 8%, from $392 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to decreased freight revenue per RTM and lower volumes of conventional crude and petroleum products. This decrease was partially offset by higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices, higher volumes of DRUbitTM crude to Kansas City and ethylene glycol, the favourable impact of the change in FX, and higher freight rates. Freight revenue per RTM decreased primarily due to lower crude liquidated damages, including customer volume commitments, as a result of the completion of customer contracts. Carloads decreased more than RTMs due to moving lower volumes of conventional crude to Noyes, MN and Kingsgate, B.C., which have shorter lengths of haul, and higher volumes to DRUbitTM crude to Kansas City, which has a longer length of haul.

Operating expenses were $1,375 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $207 million, or 18%, from $1,168 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•the unfavourable impact of changes in fuel prices of $122 million;

•cost inflation;

•higher volume variable expenses as a result of an increase in workload as measured by GTMs;

•the unfavourable impact of the change in FX of $17 million; and

•a decrease in fuel efficiency of 2% due to higher volumes of Intermodal, which has lower horsepower utilization.

Operating expenses were $4,012 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $431 million, or 12%, from $3,581 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•the unfavourable impact of changes in fuel prices of $374 million;

•cost inflation;

•a gain on the exchange of property and construction easements in Chicago of $50 million in 2021;

•a decrease in efficiencies primarily due to harsh winter weather conditions in the first quarter of 2022; and

•the unfavourable impact of the changes in FX of $34 million.

This increase was partially offset by lower acquisition-related costs of $90 million associated with the KCS acquisition that were recognized in Purchased services and other and lower volume variable expenses as a result of a decrease in workload as measured by GTMs.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expense includes employee wages, salaries, fringe benefits, and stock-based compensation. Compensation and benefits expense was $393 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $12 million, or 3%, from $381 million in the same period of 2021.

This increase was primarily due to:

•impact of wage and benefit inflation;

•increased volume variable expense as a result of an increase in workload as measured by GTMs; and

•increased new hire training costs.

This increase was partially offset by:

•lower stock-based compensation of $5 million;

•lower defined benefit pension current service cost of $5 million; and

•decreased incentive compensation.

Compensation and benefits expense was $1,154 million in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $11 million, or 1%, from $1,165 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to:

•decreased incentive compensation;

•lower volume variable expense as a result of a decrease in workload as measured by GTMs; and

•lower defined benefit pension current service cost of $17 million.

This decrease was partially offset by the impact of wage and benefit inflation and unfavourable impact of the change in FX of $8 million.

Fuel

Fuel expense consists mainly of fuel used by locomotives and includes provincial, state, and federal fuel taxes. Fuel expense was $358 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $159 million, or 80%, from $199 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•the unfavourable impact of higher fuel prices of $122 million;

•an increase in workload, as measured by GTMs;

•a decrease in fuel efficiency of 2% due to higher volumes of Intermodal, which has lower horsepower utilization; and

•the unfavourable impact of the change in FX of $6 million.

Fuel expense was $1,001 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $378 million, or 61%, from $623 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•the unfavourable impact of higher fuel prices of $374 million;

•a decrease in fuel efficiency of 2% due to lower locomotive productivity and harsher winter operating conditions in the first quarter of 2022, and lower volumes of Canadian grain, which has higher horsepower utilization; and

•the unfavourable impact of the change in FX of $12 million.

This increase was partially offset by a decrease in workload, as measured by GTMs.

Materials

Materials expense includes the cost of materials used for the maintenance of track, locomotives, freight cars, and buildings, as well as software sustainment. Materials expense was $66 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $15 million, or 29%, from $51 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to the unfavourable impact of inflation including higher non-locomotive fuel prices, and higher spending on locomotive and track maintenance.

Materials expense was $191 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $27 million, or 16%, from $164 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•the unfavourable impact of inflation including higher non-locomotive fuel prices;

•an increase in non-locomotive fuel consumption; and

•higher spending on track maintenance.

Equipment Rents

Equipment rents expense includes the cost associated with using other railways' freight cars, intermodal equipment, and locomotives, net of rental income received from other railways for the use of CP’s equipment. Equipment rents expense was $33 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $2 million, or 6%, from $31 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to greater usage of pooled freight cars and lower price incentives received on Intermodal cars.

This increase was partially offset by higher container rents in 2022 and higher receipts for CP rolling stock used by other railways.

Equipment rents expense was $97 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $5 million, or 5%, from $92 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•lower price incentives received on Intermodal cars;

•greater usage of pooled freight cars; and

•slower cycle times.

This increase was partially offset by higher receipts for CP rolling stock used by other railways and higher container rents in 2022.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense represents the charge associated with the use of track and roadway, buildings, rolling stock, information systems, and other depreciable assets. Depreciation and amortization was $213 million and $634 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $10 million or 5%, and an increase of $29 million or 5%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2021. These increases were primarily due to a higher depreciable asset base as well as the unfavourable impact of the change in FX of $2 million.

Other Income Statement Items

Equity Earnings of Kansas City Southern

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company recognized $221 million (U.S. $169 million) equity income of KCS in the Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Income. This amount is net of amortization of basis differences of $42 million (U.S. $32 million) associated with KCS purchase accounting and net of acquisition-related costs incurred by KCS. No similar equity income existed in the same period of 2021 as CP acquired KCS into trust on December 14, 2021.

On a historical basis, without any effect of purchase accounting, KCS recorded net income attributable to controlling interests of $263 million (U.S. $201 million) in the third quarter of 2022, a favourable change of $66 million (U.S. $45 million), or 34%, from a $197 million (U.S. $156 million) net Income. This change was primarily due to higher revenues of $180 million (U.S. $138 million) and lower acquisition-related costs, partially offset by higher fuel cost of $56 million (U.S. $43 million). Acquisition-related costs (net of tax) incurred by KCS in the third quarter of 2022 were $12 million (U.S. $10 million), a decrease of $23 million (U.S. $18 million), or 66%, from $35 million (U.S. $28 million) in the same period of 2021. These values have been translated at the average FX rate of $1.31 and $1.26 CAD per USD for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

In the first nine months of 2022, the Company recognized $627 million (U.S. $489 million) equity income of KCS in the Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Income. This amount is net of amortization of basis differences of $121 million (U.S. $94 million) associated with KCS purchase accounting and net of acquisition-related costs incurred by KCS.

On a historical basis, without any effect of purchase accounting, KCS recorded net income attributable to controlling interests of $748 million (U.S. $583 million) in the first nine months of 2022, a favourable change of $835 million (U.S. $653 million), or 961%, from a $87 million (U.S. $70 million) net loss. This change was primarily due to lower acquisition-related costs, including the merger termination fee paid to CP in the same period of 2021, and higher revenues of $393 million (U.S. $306 million), partially offset by higher fuel cost of $145 million (U.S. $113 million). Acquisition-related costs (net of tax) incurred by KCS in the first nine months of 2022 were $39 million (U.S. $30 million), a decrease of $727 million (U.S. $583 million), or 95%, from $766 million (U.S. $613 million) in the same period of 2021. These values have been translated at the average FX rate of $1.28 and $1.25 CAD per USD for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Other Expense

Other expense consists of gains and losses from the change in FX on debt and lease liabilities and working capital, costs related to financing, shareholder costs, equity income, and other non-operating expenditures. Other expense was $7 million in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $117 million, or 94%, compared to other expense of $124 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to acquisition-related costs of $83 million in 2021 which included losses on interest rate hedges of $111 million, bridge facility fees of $2 million, and gains on FX hedges of $30 million. In addition, an FX translation loss of $46 million was incurred in the third quarter of 2021 compared to nil in the same period of 2022 as a result of the designation of all U.S. dollar-denominated debt and lease liabilities as a net investment hedge following the KCS acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2021. This decrease was partially offset by higher FX losses on cash and working capital of $9 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

Other expense was $13 million in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $240 million, or 95%, from $253 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to acquisition-related costs of $295 million in 2021 which included losses on interest rate hedges of $261 million, bridge facility and backstop revolver fees of $47 million, and gains on FX hedges of $13 million. This decrease was partially offset by an FX translation gain of $39 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to nil in the same period of 2022 as a result of the designation of all U.S. dollar-denominated debt and lease liabilities as discussed above, and higher FX losses on cash and working capital of $10 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

FX translation gains and losses on debt and lease liabilities are discussed further in Non-GAAP Measures of this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Merger Termination Fee

On May 21, 2021, KCS terminated the Original Merger Agreement with CP to enter into a definitive agreement with Canadian National Railway. At the same time and in accordance with the terms of the Original Merger Agreement, KCS paid CP a termination fee of $845 million (U.S. $700 million). This amount is reported as "Merger termination fee" in the Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. No similar items were received in the same period of 2022.

Other Components of Net Periodic Benefit Recovery

Other components of net periodic benefit recovery is related to the Company's pension and other post-retirement and post-employment benefit plans. It includes interest cost on benefit obligations, expected return on fund assets, recognized net actuarial losses, and amortization of prior service costs. Other components of net periodic benefit recovery was $102 million and $304 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $7 million or 7%, and an increase of $18 million or 6%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2021. These increases were primarily due to decreases in recognized net actuarial losses of $14 million and $42 million, respectively, partially offset by increases in the interest cost on benefit obligations of $7 million and $23 million, respectively.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense includes interest on long-term debt and finance leases. Net interest expense was $166 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $62 million, or 60%, from $104 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to interest of $65 million incurred on long-term debt and the U.S. $500 million term facility issued for the KCS acquisition, and higher interest on commercial paper of $5 million as a result of higher interest rates along with a higher average outstanding balance, partially offset by the favourable impact of $9 million related to repayment of maturing long-term debt.

Net interest expense was $486 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $171 million, or 54%, from $315 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to interest of $192 million incurred on long-term debt and the U.S. $500 million term facility issued for the KCS acquisition, and higher interest on commercial paper of $7 million as a result of higher interest rates along with a higher average outstanding balance, partially offset by the favourable impacts of $25 million related to repayment of maturing long-term debt and $13 million as a result of a lower effective interest rates.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $196 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $27 million, or 16%, from $169 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher taxable earnings and lower tax recoveries on acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS acquisition.

This increase was partially offset by:

•a deferred tax recovery of $12 million on the revaluation of deferred income tax balances as at January 1, 2022 as a result of an Iowa state corporate tax rate decrease enacted during the third quarter of 2022;

•an outside basis deferred tax recovery arising from the difference between the carrying amount of CP's investment in KCS for financial reporting and the underlying tax basis of this investment; and

•a lower effective tax rate.

Income tax expense was $526 million in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $91 million, or 15%, from $617 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to:

•higher taxable earnings in 2021 due to the merger termination payment received in connection with KCS's termination of the Original Merger Agreement of $845 million (U.S. $700 million);

•the deferred tax recovery described above; and

•a lower effective tax rate.

This decrease was partially offset by lower tax recoveries on acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS acquisition, and an outside basis deferred tax expense arising from the difference between the carrying amount of CP's investment in KCS for financial reporting and the underlying tax basis of this investment.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, including equity earnings of KCS and other discrete items, was 18.01% and 18.97%, respectively, compared to 26.36% and 21.00% in the same periods of 2021. The effective tax rate in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, excluding discrete items, was 24.25% compared to 24.60% for the same periods in 2021.

The Company expects an annualized effective tax rate in 2022 between 24.00% and 24.50%, which excludes equity earnings of KCS and other discrete items. The Company’s 2022 outlook for its annualized effective income tax rate is based on certain assumptions about events and developments that may or may not materialize or that may be offset entirely or partially by new events and developments. This is discussed further in Item 1A. Risk Factors of CP's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of liquidity include its Cash and cash equivalents, commercial paper program, bilateral letter of credit facilities, and revolving credit facility. The Company believes that these sources as well as cash flow generated through operations and existing debt capacity are adequate to meet its short-term and long-term cash requirements. The Company is not aware of any material trends, events, or uncertainties that would create any deficiencies in the Company's liquidity.

As at September 30, 2022, the Company had $138 million of Cash and cash equivalents compared to $69 million at December 31, 2021.

As at September 30, 2022, the Company's existing revolving credit facility was undrawn, unchanged from December 31, 2021, from a total available amount of U.S. $1.3 billion. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repaid in full the outstanding borrowings of U.S. $400 million ($504 million) and U.S. $500 million ($636 million) respectively on the U.S. $500 million unsecured non-revolving term credit facility (the "term facility"). The facility was automatically terminated on September 15, 2022 following the final principal repayment. The revolving credit facility agreement requires the Company to maintain a financial covenant. As at September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all terms and conditions of the credit facility arrangements and satisfied the financial covenant.

The Company has a commercial paper program that enables it to issue commercial paper up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of U.S. $1.0 billion in the form of unsecured promissory notes. This commercial paper program is backed by the revolving credit facility. As at September 30, 2022, total commercial paper borrowings were U.S. $525 million, compared to U.S. $265 million as at December 31, 2021.

As at September 30, 2022, under its bilateral letter of credit facilities, the Company had letters of credit drawn of $75 million, compared to $58 million as at December 31, 2021, from a total available amount of $300 million. Under the bilateral letter of credit facilities, the Company has the option to post collateral in the form of Cash or cash equivalents, equal at least to the face value of the letter of credit issued. As at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any collateral posted on its bilateral letter of credit facilities.

Contractual Commitments

The Company’s material cash requirements from known contractual obligations and commitments to make future payments primarily consist of long-term debt and related interest, future capital commitments, supplier purchases, leases, and other long term liabilities. Debt and finance leases, interest obligations related to debt and finance leases, and letters of credit amount to $1,237 million, $656 million and $75 million within the next 12 months, respectively, with the remaining amount committed thereafter of $19,513 million, $14,044 million and nil, respectively. Future capital commitments amount to $356 million within the next 12 months, with the remaining amount committed thereafter of $144 million.

Supplier purchase agreements, operating leases, and other long-term liabilities amount to $943 million, $74 million, and $56 million within the next 12 months, respectively, with the remaining amount committed thereafter of $548 million, $231 million and $402 million, respectively. Other long-term liabilities include expected cash payments for environmental remediation, post-retirement benefits, worker’s compensation benefits, long-term disability benefits, pension benefit payments for the Company’s non-registered supplemental pension plan, and certain other long-term liabilities. Pension payments are discussed further in Critical Accounting Estimates of this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Guarantees

The Company accrues for all guarantees that it expects to pay. As at September 30, 2022, these accruals amounted to $5 million (December 31, 2021 - $14 million).

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $1,102 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $554 million, or 101%, compared to $548 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to a dividend received of $259 million from KCS in the third quarter of 2022, the favourable change in working capital, and an increase in cash generating income compared to the same period of 2021.

Cash provided by operating activities was $2,422 million in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $662 million, or 21%, compared to $3,084 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease for the first nine months was primarily due to lower cash generating income as a result of the $845 million merger termination fee received from KCS in the second quarter of 2021 and an unfavourable change in working capital driven by acquisition-related payables in 2021, offset by dividends of $593 million received from KCS in 2022.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $410 million in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1,719 million, or 81%, compared to $2,129 million in the same period of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to merger payments of $1,773 million ( U.S. $1,400 million) made to KCS in September 2021, partially offset by higher capital additions.

Cash used in investing activities was $978 million in the first nine months of 2022, a decrease of $1,842 million, or 65%, compared to $2,820 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 was primarily due to merger payments of $1,773 million (U.S.$1,400) made to KCS in September 2021 and lower capital additions, partially offset by lower proceeds from the sale of properties and other assets.

Free Cash

CP generated positive Free cash of $721 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $518 million, or 255%, from $203 million in the same period of 2021. The increase was due to an increase in Cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by higher capital additions during the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, CP generated positive Free cash of $1,514 million, an increase of $269 million, or 22%, from $1,245 million in the same period of 2021. The increase was due to an increase in Cash provided by operating activities and lower capital additions during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021.

Free cash is affected by seasonal fluctuations and by other factors including the size of the Company's capital programs. Free cash is defined and reconciled in Non-GAAP Measures of this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $721 million in the third quarter of 2022, a change of $1,623 million, or 180%, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $902 million in the same period of 2021. This change was primarily due to the net repayment of commercial paper of $42 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to a net issuance of $713 million in the third quarter of 2021, principal repayments of $504 million (U.S. $400 million) on a term loan during the third quarter of 2022 compared to borrowings under term loan of $633 million (U.S. $500 million) in the third quarter of 2021, and higher dividends paid as a result of a higher number of shares outstanding associated with the shares issued to acquire KCS in the fourth quarter of 2021. This change was partially offset by repayments on long term debt of $7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $318 million during the same period of 2021.

Cash used in financing activities was $1,409 million in the first nine months of 2022, an increase of $1,215 million, or 626%, compared to $194 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to principal repayments of $636 million (U.S. $500 million) on a term loan compared to borrowings under term loan of $633 million (U.S. $500 million) in 2021, principal repayments of $125 million of the Company's 5.100% 10-year Medium Term Notes and $313 million (U.S. $250 million) of the Company's 4.500% 10-year Notes at maturity in January 2022, principal repayment of $97 million (U.S. $76 million) of the Company's 6.99% Finance lease at maturity in March 2022, and higher dividends paid as a result of a higher number of shares outstanding associated with the shares issued to acquire KCS in the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase was partially offset by a net issuance of commercial paper of $298 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net repayments of $66 million during the first nine months of 2021, and repayment of long-term debt of $349 million during the first nine months of 2021.

Credit Measures

Credit ratings provide information relating to the Company’s operations and liquidity, and affect the Company’s ability to obtain short-term and long-term financing and/or the cost of such financing.

A strong investment grade credit rating is an important measure in assessing the Company’s ability to maintain access to public financing and to minimize the cost of capital. It also affects the ability of the Company to engage in certain collateralized business activities on a cost-effective basis.

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 Company’s financial position and liquidity along with external factors beyond the Company’s control.

As at September 30, 2022, CP's credit ratings from Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("Standard & Poor's") and Moody's Investor Service ("Moody's") remain unchanged from December 31, 2021.

Credit ratings as at September 30, 2022(1)


Long-term debt			Outlook
Standard & Poor's
	Long-term corporate credit	BBB+	stable
	Senior secured debt	A	stable
	Senior unsecured debt	BBB+	stable

(1)Credit ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell securities and do not address the market price or suitability of a specific security for a particular investor. Credit ratings are based on the rating agencies' methodologies and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies.

Financial Ratios

The Long-term debt to Net income ratio for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was 7.4 and 3.2, respectively. This increase was primarily due to a higher debt balance in connection with the KCS acquisition and lower net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022.

The Adjusted net debt to Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was 4.3 and 2.4, respectively. This increase was primarily due to a higher debt balance in connection with the KCS acquisition, partially offset by higher Adjusted EBITDA. The Adjusted net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is a Non-GAAP measure, which is defined and reconciled from the Long-term debt to Net income ratio, the most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, in Non-GAAP Measures of this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The Pro-forma Adjusted Net Debt to Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA ratio for the trailing twelve month ended September 30, 2022 was 4.1. This increase from the Adjusted net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio in the same period of 2021 was primarily due to a higher debt balance in connection with the KCS acquisition, partially offset by higher Pro-forma adjusted EBITDA. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, CP added disclosure of Pro-forma Adjusted Net Debt to Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA Ratio to better align with CP’s debt covenant calculation, which takes into account the trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA of KCS as well as KCS’s outstanding debt. Please see Non-GAAP Measures of this Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further discussion. Over the long term, CP targets an Adjusted net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.0 to 2.5.

Although CP has provided a target Non-GAAP measure (Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio), management is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, the target Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio to the most comparable GAAP measure (Long-term debt to Net income ratio), due to unknown variables and uncertainty related to future results. These unknown variables may include unpredictable transactions of significant value. In recent years, CP has recognized acquisition-related costs, the merger termination payment received, changes in the outside basis tax difference between the carrying amount of CP's equity investment in KCS and its tax basis of the investment, changes in income tax rates, and a change to an uncertain tax item. Acquisition-related costs include legal, consulting, financing fees, integration planning costs consisting of third-party services and system migration, fair value gain or loss on FX forward contracts and interest rate hedges, FX gain on U.S. dollar-denominated cash on hand from the issuances of long-term debt to fund the KCS acquisition, and transaction and integration costs (net of tax) incurred by KCS which were recognized within the Equity loss of KCS). KCS has also recognized significant transaction costs and FX gains and losses. These or other similar, large unforeseen transactions affect Net income but may be excluded from CP’s Adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, the U.S.-to-Canada dollar exchange rate is unpredictable and can have a significant impact on CP’s reported results but may be excluded from CP’s Adjusted EBITDA. In particular, CP excludes the FX impact of translating the Company’s debt and lease liabilities, interest and taxes from Adjusted EBITDA. Please see Forward-Looking Statements in this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further discussion.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

Canadian Pacific Railway Company (“CPRC”), a 100%-owned subsidiary of CPRL, is the issuer of certain securities which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by CPRL on an unsecured basis. The other subsidiaries of CPRC do not guarantee the securities and are referred to below as the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”. The following is a description of the terms and conditions of the guarantees with respect to securities for which CPRC is the issuer and CPRL provides a full and unconditional guarantee.

As of the date of the filing of the Form 10-Q, CPRC had U.S. $12,050 million principal amount of debt securities outstanding due through 2115, and U.S. $30 million and GBP £3 million in perpetual 4% consolidated debenture stock, for all of which CPRL is the guarantor subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as amended. As of the same date, CPRC also had $3,300 million principal amount of debt securities issued under Canadian securities law due through 2050 for which CPRL is the guarantor and not subject to the Exchange Act.

CPRL fully and unconditionally guarantees the payment of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the debt securities and consolidated debenture stock issued by CPRC, any sinking fund or analogous payments payable with respect to such securities, and any additional amounts payable when they become due, whether at maturity or otherwise. The guarantee is CPRL’s unsubordinated and unsecured obligation and ranks equally with all of CPRL’s other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations.

CPRL will be released and relieved of its obligations under the guarantees after obligations to the holders are satisfied in accordance with the terms of the respective instruments.

Pursuant to Rule 13-01 of the SEC's Regulation S-X, the Company provides summarized financial and non-financial information of CPRC in lieu of providing separate financial statements of CPRC.

More information on the securities under this guarantee structure can be found in Exhibit 22.1 List of Issuers and Guarantor Subsidiaries of this quarterly report.

Share Capital

At October 25, 2022, the latest practicable date, there were 930,123,568 Common Shares and no preferred shares issued and outstanding, which consists of 15,288 holders of record of the Common Shares. In addition, CP has a Management Stock Option Incentive Plan (“MSOIP”), under which key officers and employees are granted options to purchase the Common Shares. Options issued prior to the share split described in the Executive Summary now each provide rights over five shares. For consistency, all number of options presented herein are shown on the basis of the number of shares subject to the options. On April 27, 2022, at the Annual and Special Meeting, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the MSOIP to increase the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the MSOIP, effective at and after April 27, 2022, by 20,000,000 Common Shares. At October 25, 2022, 7,727,281 options were outstanding under the MSOIP and stand-alone option agreements entered into with Mr. Keith Creel. There are 22,509,537 options available to be issued by the Company’s MSOIP in the future. CP has a Director's Stock Option Plan (“DSOP”), under which directors are granted options to purchase Common Shares. There are no outstanding options under the DSOP, which has 1,700,000 options available to be issued in the future.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company presents Non-GAAP measures to provide a basis for evaluating underlying earnings and liquidity trends in the Company’s business that can be compared with the results of operations in prior periods. In addition, these Non-GAAP measures facilitate a multi-period assessment of long-term profitability, allowing management and other external users of the Company’s consolidated financial information to compare profitability on a long-term basis, including assessing future profitability, with that of the Company’s peers.

These Non-GAAP measures have no standardized meaning and are not defined by GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of these Non-GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or as superior to the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

The Company uses adjusted earnings results including Adjusted income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, Adjusted operating income and Adjusted operating ratio to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations and future profitability. Core adjusted income and Core adjusted diluted earnings per share are presented to provide financial statement users with additional transparency by isolating for the impact of KCS purchase accounting. KCS purchase accounting represents the amortization of basis differences, being the difference in value between the consideration paid to acquire KCS and the underlying carrying value of the net assets of KCS immediately prior to its acquisition by the Company. All assets subject to KCS purchase accounting contribute to income generation and will continue to amortize over their estimated useful lives. These Non-GAAP measures are presented in Financial Highlights and discussed further in other sections of this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. These Non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding operating results because they exclude certain significant items that are not considered indicative of future financial trends either by nature or amount or provide improved comparability to past performance. As a result, these items are excluded for management assessment of operational performance, allocation of resources and preparation of annual budgets. These significant items may include, but are not limited to, restructuring and asset impairment charges, individually significant gains and losses from sales of assets, acquisition-related costs, the merger termination payment received, the foreign exchange ("FX") impact of translating the Company’s debt and lease liabilities (including borrowings under the credit facility), discrete tax items, changes in the outside basis tax difference between the carrying amount of CP's equity investment in KCS and its tax basis of this investment, changes in income tax rates, changes to an uncertain tax item, and certain items outside the control of management. Acquisition-related costs include legal, consulting, financing fees, integration planning costs consisting of third-party services and system migration, fair value gain or loss on FX forward contracts and interest rate hedges, FX gain on U.S. dollar-denominated cash on hand from the issuances of long-term debt to fund the KCS acquisition, and transaction and integration costs incurred by KCS which were recognized within Equity earnings of Kansas City Southern in the Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Income. These items may not be non-recurring. However, excluding these significant items from GAAP results allows for a consistent understanding of the Company's consolidated financial performance when performing a multi-period assessment including assessing the likelihood of future results. Accordingly, these Non-GAAP financial measures may provide insight to investors and other external users of the Company's consolidated financial information.

In the first nine months of 2022, there were three significant items included in Net income as follows:

•in the third quarter, a deferred tax recovery of $12 million due to a decrease in the Iowa state tax rate that favourably impacted Diluted EPS by 1 cent;

•a net deferred tax expense of $8 million on changes in the outside basis difference of the equity investment in KCS that unfavourably impacted Diluted EPS by 1 cent as follows:

–in the third quarter, a deferred tax recovery of $9 million on changes in the outside basis difference of the equity investment in KCS that favourably impacted Diluted EPS by 1 cent;

Adjusted ROIC

Adjusted ROIC is calculated as Adjusted return divided by Adjusted average invested capital. Adjusted return is defined as Net income adjusted for interest expense, tax effected at the Company’s adjusted annualized effective tax rate, and significant items in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, tax effected at the applicable tax rate. Adjusted average invested capital is defined as the sum of total Shareholders' equity, Long-term debt, and Long-term debt maturing within one year, as presented in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, each averaged between the beginning and ending balance over a trailing twelve month period, adjusted for the impact of significant items, tax effected at the applicable tax rate, on closing balances as part of this average. Adjusted ROIC excludes significant items reported in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, as these significant items are not considered indicative of future financial trends either by nature or amount, and excludes interest expense, net of tax, to incorporate returns on the Company’s overall capitalization. Adjusted ROIC is a performance measure that measures how productively the Company uses its long-term capital investments, representing critical indicators of good

operating and investment decisions made by management, and is an important performance criteria in determining certain elements of the Company's long-term incentive plan. Adjusted ROIC, which is reconciled below from Return on average shareholders' equity, the most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, is also presented in Financial Highlights and discussed further in Results of Operations of this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Free Cash

Free cash is calculated as Cash provided by operating activities, less Cash used in investing activities, adjusted for changes in Cash and cash equivalents balances resulting from FX fluctuations, the operating cash flow impacts of acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS transaction, the merger termination payment received related to KCS's termination of the Original Merger Agreement and the payment to KCS related to the KCS Acquisition. Free cash is a measure that management considers to be a valuable indicator of liquidity. Free cash is useful to investors and other external users of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as it assists with the evaluation of the Company's ability to generate cash to satisfy debt obligations and discretionary activities such as dividends, share repurchase programs, and other strategic opportunities. The acquisition-related costs and the merger termination fee related to the KCS acquisition are not indicative of operating trends and have been excluded from Free cash. The payment to KCS is not indicative of investment trends and has also been excluded from free cash. Free cash should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, Cash provided by operating activities. Free cash is presented in Financial Highlights and discussed further in Liquidity and Capital Resources of this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Foreign Exchange Adjusted % Change

FX adjusted % change allows certain financial results to be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons in the analysis of trends in business performance. Financial result variances at constant currency are obtained by translating the comparable period of the prior year results denominated in U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rates of the current period.

FX adjusted % changes in revenues are further used in calculating FX adjusted % change in freight revenue per carload and RTM. These items are presented in Operating Revenues of this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. FX adjusted % changes in revenues are as follows:

Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio and Pro-forma adjusted Net Debt to Pro-forma adjusted EBITDA Ratio

Adjusted net debt to Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") ratio is calculated as Adjusted net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. The Adjusted net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is a key credit measure used to assess the Company’s financial capacity. The ratio provides information on the Company’s ability to service its debt and other long-term obligations from operations, excluding significant items. The Adjusted net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, which is reconciled below from the Long-term debt to Net income ratio, the most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, is also presented in Financial Highlights and discussed further in Results of Operations of this Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, CP added disclosure of Pro-forma adjusted net debt to Pro-forma adjusted EBITDA ratio to better align with CP’s debt covenant calculation, which incorporates the trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA of KCS as well as KCS’s outstanding debt. CP is incorporating the trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA of KCS on a pro-forma basis, as CP is not entitled to earnings prior to the acquisition date of December 14, 2021. CP does not control KCS while it is in the voting trust during review of our merger application by the STB, though CP is the beneficial owner of KCS’s outstanding shares and receives cash dividends from KCS. The adjustment to include the trailing twelve month EBITDA and KCS’s outstanding debt provides users of the financial statements with better insight into CP’s progress in achieving deleveraging commitments. KCS’s disclosed U.S. dollar financial values for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2022 were adjusted to Canadian dollars reflecting the FX rate for the appropriate period presented. We have not presented 2021 Pro-forma adjusted net debt to Pro-forma adjusted EBITDA as CP was not the beneficial owner of KCS’s shares as at September 30, 2021.

Reconciliation of Net Income to EBIT, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA

Earnings before interest and tax ("EBIT") is calculated as Net income before Net interest expense and Income tax expense. Adjusted EBIT excludes significant items reported in both Operating income and Other expense. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Adjusted EBIT plus operating lease expense and Depreciation and amortization, less Other components of net periodic benefit recovery. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a measure of liquidity derived from operations, excluding significant items, as part of the calculation of Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA.

Critical Accounting Estimates

To prepare Consolidated Financial Statements that conform with GAAP, the Company 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. Using the most current information available, the Company reviews estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to environmental liabilities, pensions and other benefits, property, plant and equipment, deferred income taxes, and personal injury and other claims liabilities. Additional information concerning critical accounting estimates is supplemented in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The development, selection and disclosure of these estimates, and this MD&A, have been reviewed by the Board of Directors’ Audit and Finance Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forward-looking information within the meaning of other relevant securities legislation, including applicable securities laws in Canada (collectively referred to herein as "forward-looking statements"). Forward-looking statements typically include words such as “financial expectations”, “key assumptions”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “will”, “outlook”, “should” or similar words suggesting future outcomes. To the extent that CP has provided forecasts or targets using Non-GAAP financial measures, the Company may not be able to provide a reconciliation to a GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts, due to unknown variables and uncertainty related to future results.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements relating, but not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s expected impacts resulting from changes in the U.S.-to-Canadian dollar exchange rate, and the effective tax rate, as well as statements concerning the Company’s operations, anticipated financial performance, business prospects and strategies, including 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 and concerning anticipated capital programs, statements regarding future payments including income taxes, statements regarding the Company's greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions targets and statements concerning the pending KCS business combination.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions, having regard to the Company's experience and its perception of historical trends, and includes, but is not limited to, expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions relating to: changes in business strategies; North American and global economic growth; commodity demand growth; sustainable industrial and agricultural production; commodity prices and interest rates; foreign exchange rates (as specified herein); effective tax rates (as specified herein); performance of our assets and equipment; sufficiency of our budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out our business plan; geopolitical conditions; applicable laws, regulations and government policies; the availability and cost of labour, services and infrastructure; the satisfaction by third parties of their obligations to the Company; and the anticipated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows and/or financial condition. Although the Company believes the expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking statements presented herein are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Current conditions, economic and otherwise, render assumptions, although reasonable when made, subject to greater uncertainty.

With respect to the pending KCS business combination, we can provide no assurance when or if the combination will be completed. Completion of the combination is subject to the receipt of final approval from the STB of the CP-KCS control application by December 31, 2023. There can be no assurance of receipt of this final approval by December 31, 2023. Additionally, even if such final approval is received, there can be no guarantee of the successful integration of KCS or that the combined Company will realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, whether financial, strategic or otherwise, and this may be exacerbated by changes to the economic, political and global environment in which the merged company will operate.

Our GHG emissions targets are subject to a number of inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties that include, but are not limited to, changes in carbon markets, evolving sustainability strategies and scientific or technological developments. Additionally, although our data underlying GHG emissions estimates have been internally vetted using accepted and relevant

scientific and technical methodologies, historical performance data may become outdated due to a variety of factors, including improvement in our data collection and measuring systems, activities such as joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions or divestitures, and industry-driven changes to methodologies. As a result of these and other factors, we may not achieve our stated targets.

Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements as actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the following factors: changes in business strategies; general North American and global economic, credit and business conditions; risks associated with agricultural production such as weather conditions and insect populations; the availability and price of energy commodities; the effects of competition and pricing pressures; industry capacity; shifts in market demand; changes in commodity prices; uncertainty surrounding timing and volumes of commodities being shipped via CP; inflation; geopolitical instability; changes in laws, regulations and government policies, including regulation of rates; changes in taxes and tax rates; potential increases in maintenance and operating costs; changes in fuel prices; 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 and discount rates on the financial position of pension plans and investments; trade restrictions or other changes to international trade arrangements; climate change; various events that could disrupt operations, including severe weather, such as droughts, floods, avalanches and earthquakes, and cybersecurity attacks, as well as security threats and governmental response to them, and technological changes; and the pandemic created by the outbreak of COVID-19 and its variants and resulting effects on economic conditions, the demand environment for logistics requirements and energy prices, restrictions imposed by public health authorities or governments, fiscal and monetary policy responses by governments and financial institutions, and disruptions to global supply chains. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.

There are more specific factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These more specific factors are identified and discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of CP's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other risks are detailed from time to time in reports filed by CP with securities regulators in Canada and the United States.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, CP undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, or the foregoing assumptions and risks affecting such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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. In addition, equity earnings or losses of KCS 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 Company’s results are affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between these currencies. As at September 30, 2022, CP expects that every $0.01 weakening (or strengthening) of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, positively (or negatively) impacts Total revenues by approximately $35 million (December 31, 2021 – approximately $30 million), negatively (or positively) impacts Operating expenses by approximately $20 million (December 31, 2021 – approximately $13 million), and negatively (or positively) impacts Net interest expense by approximately $4 million (December 31, 2021 – approximately $3 million) on an annualized basis.

CP uses U.S. dollar-denominated debt and operating lease liabilities to hedge its net investment in U.S. operations. As at September 30, 2022, the net investment in U.S. operations is greater than the total U.S. denominated debt. Consequently, FX translation on the Company's unhedged net investment in U.S. operations is recognized in Other comprehensive income. There is no additional impact on earnings in Other expense (income) related to the FX translation on the Company’s debt and operating lease liabilities.

To manage its 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.

Subject to final approval by the STB, CP anticipates consummating a business combination with KCS at which time CP will also reassess its functional currency.

Share Price Impact on Stock-Based Compensation

Based on information available at September 30, 2022, for every $1.00 change in share price, stock-based compensation expense has a corresponding change of approximately $1.9 million to $2.0 million (December 31, 2021 - approximately $1.5 million to $2.0 million). This excludes the impact of changes in share price relative to the S&P/TSX 60 Index, S&P 500 Industrials Index, and to Class I railways, which may trigger different performance share unit payouts. Stock-based compensation may also be impacted by non-market performance conditions.

Additional information concerning stock-based compensation is included in Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 16 Stock-based compensation.

Interest Rate Risk

Debt financing forms part of the Company's capital structure. The debt agreements entered into expose CP to increased interest costs on future fixed debt instruments and existing variable rate debt instruments, should market rates increase. As at September 30, 2022, a hypothetical one percentage point change in interest rates on the Company's floating rate debt obligations outstanding is not material. In addition, the present value of the Company’s assets and liabilities will also vary with interest rate changes. To manage interest rate exposure, CP may enter into forward rate agreements such as treasury rate locks or bond locks that lock in rates for a future date, thereby protecting against interest rate increases. CP may also enter into swap agreements whereby one party agrees to pay a fixed rate of interest while the other party pays a floating rate. Contingent on the direction of interest rates, the Company may incur higher costs depending on the contracted rate.

The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt may fluctuate with changes in market interest rates. A hypothetical one percentage point decrease in interest rates as of September 30, 2022 would result in an increase of approximately $1.4 billion to the fair value of the Company's debt as at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - approximately $2.3 billion). Fair values of CP’s fixed rate debt are estimated by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on quoted market prices and current borrowing rates, but do not consider other factors that could impact actual results.

Information concerning market risks is supplemented in Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 13 Financial instruments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2022, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of CP's management, including its CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company has not identified any changes in internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
