Strategy

The Company’s strategy remains focused on precision scheduled railroading as embedded within our five foundations:

•Provide Service: Providing efficient and consistent transportation solutions for the Company’s customers. “Doing what we say we are going to do” is what drives the Company in providing a reliable product with a lower cost operating model. Centralized planning aligned with local execution is bringing the Company closer to the customer and accelerating decision-making.

•Control Costs: Controlling and removing unnecessary costs from the organization, eliminating bureaucracy, and continuing to identify productivity enhancements are the keys to success.

•Optimize Assets: Through longer and heavier trains, and improved asset utilization, the Company is moving increased volumes with fewer locomotives and cars while unlocking capacity for future growth potential.

•Operate Safely: Each year, the Company safely moves millions of carloads of freight across North America while ensuring the safety of our people and the communities through which we operate. Safety is never to be compromised. The Company strives for continuous implementation of state-of-the-art safety technology, safety management systems, and safety culture with our employees to ensure safe, efficient operations across our network.

•Develop People: The Company recognizes that none of the other foundations can be achieved without its people. Every employee is a railroader and the Company has established a culture focused on our values of accountability, diversity and pride, in everything we do. Coaching and mentoring all employees into becoming leaders will continue to drive the Company forward.

Today, we continue to apply our long-term strategy: leverage our lower cost base, network strengths, and improve service to drive sustainable, profitable growth. While the accomplishments during the operational turnaround were tremendous, the Company's journey to become North America's best-performing rail carrier is far from over. As a Company, we remain focused on our next level of service, productivity, and innovation to continue to generate sustainable value for our customers, employees, and shareholders.

BULK

The Company's Bulk business represented approximately 38% of total Freight revenues in 2022.

Bulk includes the Grain, Coal, Potash, and Fertilizer and sulphur lines of business. Bulk traffic predominantly moves in unit train service moving from one origin to one destination on a single train without reclassification. The following chart shows the percentage of the Company's Bulk freight revenues by Line of business in 2022:

2022 Bulk Revenues

(38% of Freight Revenues)

Grain

The Company’s Grain business represented approximately 54% of Bulk revenues, and was 20% of total Freight revenues in 2022.

The Company's Grain network is unique among railways in North America as it is strategically positioned in the heart of grain-producing regions of western Canada and the Northern Plains of the U.S. The Company provides a service advantage to its customers through grain transportation in 8,500-foot High Efficiency Product ("HEP") trains including high-capacity hopper cars which enables the Company to efficiently serve farmers, shippers, and the entire grain supply chain. The 8,500-foot HEP train can move approximately 40 percent more grain than the prior generation of grain train.

Canadian grain transported by the Company consists of both whole grains, such as wheat, durum, canola, pulses, and soybeans, and processed products such as meals, oils, and malt. This business is centred in the Canadian Prairies (Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta), with grain shipped primarily west to the Port of Vancouver and east to the Port of Thunder Bay for export. Grain is also shipped to the U.S., eastern Canada, and Mexico for domestic consumption.

Canadian grain includes a division of business that is regulated by the Canadian government through the Canada Transportation Act (the “CTA”). This regulated business is subject to a maximum revenue entitlement (“MRE”). Under the CTA, railways can set their own rates for individual movements. However, the MRE governs aggregate revenue earned by the railway based on a formula that factors in the total volumes, length of haul, average revenue per ton, and inflationary adjustments. The regulation applies to western Canadian export grain shipments to the ports of Vancouver and Thunder Bay.

U.S. grain transported by the Company consists of both whole grains, such as corn, wheat, soybeans, and durum, and processed products such as feed, meals, oils, and flour. This business is centred in the states of Minnesota, North Dakota, and Iowa. Grain destined for domestic consumption is interchanged with other carriers to the U.S. Midwest, the U.S Northeast via Chicago, Illinois, and the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The Company also delivers direct shipments of U.S. grain to western Canada primarily for animal feed. In partnership with other railways, the Company moves U.S. grain to export terminals in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and the Gulf of Mexico. Export U.S. grain traffic is also shipped to the Port of Vancouver and the ports at Superior, Wisconsin and Duluth, Minnesota.

Coal

The following chart shows the percentage of the Company's Intermodal freight revenues generated from domestic intermodal and international intermodal in 2022:

2022 Intermodal Revenues

(26% of Freight Revenues)

Domestic Intermodal

The Company's domestic business represented approximately 53% of Intermodal revenues, and was 14% of total freight revenues in 2022.

The Company’s domestic intermodal business moves goods from a broad spectrum of industries including wholesale, retail, food, and various other commodities. Key service factors in domestic intermodal include consistent on-time delivery and the ability to provide door-to-door service. The majority of the Company’s domestic intermodal business originates in Canada, where the Company markets its services directly to retailers and manufacturers and maintains direct relationships with its customers. In the U.S., the Company’s service is delivered mainly through intermodal marketing companies.

International Intermodal

The Company's international business represented approximately 47% of Intermodal revenues, and was 12% of total freight revenues in 2022.

The Company's access to the Port of Saint John provides the fastest rail service from the east coast to the Canadian and U.S. Midwest markets for import and export cargo from Europe, South America, and Asia.

Fuel Cost Adjustment Program

The short-term volatility in fuel prices may adversely or positively impact revenues. The Company employs a fuel cost adjustment program designed to respond to fluctuations in fuel prices and help reduce volatility to changing fuel prices. Fuel surcharge revenues are earned on individual shipments and are based primarily on the price of On-Highway Diesel. As such, fuel surcharge revenues are a function of freight volumes and fuel prices. Fuel surcharge

10 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

revenues accounted for approximately 15% of the Company's Freight revenues in 2022. The Company is also subject to carbon taxation systems and levies in some jurisdictions in which it operates, the costs of which are passed on to the shipper. As such, fuel surcharge revenue includes carbon taxes and levy recoveries.

Freight revenues included fuel surcharge revenues of $1,303 million in 2022, an increase of $768 million, or 144%, from $535 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher fuel prices and increased carbon tax recoveries.

For each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company's revenues and operations were not dependent on any major customers.

Competition

The Company is in the ground transportation and logistics business. The Company sees competition in this segment from other railways, motor carriers, ship and barge operators, and pipelines. Depending on the specific market, competing railways, motor carriers, and other competitors may exert pressure on price and service levels. The Company continually evaluates the market needs and the competition. The Company responds as it deems appropriate to provide competitive services to the market. This includes developing new offerings such as transload facilities, new train services, and other logistics services.

Seasonality

Volumes and revenues from certain goods are stronger during different periods of the year. First-quarter revenues are typically lower mainly due to winter weather conditions, which results in reduced capacity under the winter operating plan with train length restrictions, the closure of the Port of Thunder Bay, and reduced transportation of retail goods. Second and third quarter revenues generally improve compared to the first quarter, as fertilizer volumes are typically highest during the second quarter and demand for construction-related goods is generally highest in the third quarter. Revenues are typically strongest in the fourth quarter, primarily as a result of the transportation of grain after the harvest, fall fertilizer programs, and increased demand for retail goods moved by rail. Operating income is also affected by seasonal fluctuations. Operating income is typically lowest in the first quarter due to lower freight revenue and higher operating costs associated with winter conditions.

Government Regulation

The Company’s railway operations are subject to extensive federal laws, regulations, and rules in the countries in which it operates, which directly affect how operations and business activities are managed.

Canada

The Company’s rail operations in Canada are subject to economic regulation by the Canadian Transportation Agency (the "Agency”) pursuant to authorities under the CTA. The CTA establishes a common carrier obligation and it indirectly regulates rates by providing shippers access to regulatory mechanisms for challenging freight rates, including ancillary charges, and access to regulated interswitching rates and long-haul interswitching rates; and regulatory mechanisms to challenge level of service. The CTA also establishes an MRE for the transportation of Canadian export grain and other agriculture products, which is administered by the Agency. Finally, the Agency makes regulatory determinations regarding the construction and abandonment of railway lines, commuter and passenger access, and noise and vibration-related disputes.

The Company’s rail operations in Canada are subject to safety and security regulatory requirements enforced by Transport Canada ("TC") pursuant to the Railway Safety Act ("RSA") and the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act (the "TDGA"). The RSA regulates safety-related aspects of railway operations in Canada, including the delegation of inspection, investigation, and enforcement powers to TC. TC is also responsible for overseeing the safe and secure transportation of dangerous goods.

Various other regulators directly and indirectly affect the Company’s operations in areas such as health, safety, environment, and other matters.

U.S.

The Company’s U.S. rail operations are subject to economic regulation by the STB. The STB provides economic regulatory oversight and administers Title 49 of the United States Code and related Code of Federal Regulations. The STB has jurisdiction over railroad rate and service issues, proposed railroad mergers, and other transactions.

The Company’s U.S. operations are subject to safety regulations enforced by the Federal Railroad Administration (the “FRA”), and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”). The FRA regulates safety-related aspects of the Company’s railway operations in the U.S. under the Federal Railroad Safety Act, as well as rail portions of other safety statutes. The PHMSA regulates the safe transportation of hazardous materials by

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 11

rail. The Company’s U.S. rail operations are also subject to security regulations and directives by the Transportation Security Administration, a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Various other regulators directly and indirectly affect the Company’s operations in areas such as health, safety, security, environmental, and other matters.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

The Company’s operations and real estate assets are subject to extensive federal, provincial, state, and local environmental laws and regulations governing air pollutants, greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions, management and remediation of historical contaminant sites, discharges to waters and the handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of waste and other materials. If the Company is found to have violated such laws or regulations, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or operating results. In addition, in operating a railway, it is possible that releases of hazardous materials during derailments or other accidents may occur that could cause harm to human health or to the environment. Costs of remediation, damages and changes in regulations could materially affect the Company’s operating results, financial condition, and reputation.

The Company has implemented an Environmental Management System to facilitate the reduction of environmental risk. Specific environmental programs are in place to address areas such as locomotive air emissions, GHG reporting, management of vegetation, wastewater, chemicals and waste, storage tanks, and fueling facilities. The Company has also undertaken environmental impact assessments and risk assessments to identify, prevent, and mitigate environmental risks. There is continued focus on preventing spills and other incidents that have a negative impact on the environment. There is an established strategic emergency response contractor network, and spill equipment kits are located across its network to ensure a rapid and efficient response in the event of an environmental incident. In addition, emergency preparedness and response plans are regularly updated and tested.

The Company has developed an environmental audit program that comprehensively, systematically, and regularly assesses the Company’s facilities for compliance with legal requirements and the Company’s policies for conformance to accepted industry standards. Included in this is a corrective action follow-up process and review by senior management.

The Company focuses on key strategies, identifying tactics and actions to support and operationalize our environmental commitments. The Company’s strategies include:

•Implementing measures to minimize or prevent environmental impacts from our operations and facilities, and to ensure compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations;

•Maintaining an Environmental Management System to provide consistent, effective guidance and resources to the Company's employees in regard to the management of air emissions, dangerous goods and waste materials, emergency preparedness and response, petroleum products management, and water and wastewater systems;

•Reducing environmental and safety risk through business processes to identify and mitigate potential environmental impacts related to all the Company's operations and activities;

•Ensuring that new or altered operations and other business activities are evaluated, planned, permitted in accordance with applicable regulations, and executed to mitigate environmental risk;

•Engaging with relevant stakeholders to consider and discuss the Company’s environmental management practices and environmental issues and concerns associated with our operations;

•Employing best practices, proven technologies, and safe operating standards for activities involving elevated environmental risk; and

•Planning and preparing for emergency responses to ensure all appropriate steps are taken in the event of a derailment, spill, or other incident involving a release to the environment.

Security

The Company is subject to statutory and regulatory requirements across its network that address security concerns. The Company plays a critical role in the North American transportation system. Rail lines, facilities and equipment, including railcars carrying hazardous materials, could be direct targets or indirect casualties of terrorist attacks, actions by criminal and non-criminal organizations, and activities by individuals. Regulations by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security include speed restrictions, chain of custody, and security measures, which can impact service and increase costs for the transportation of hazardous materials, especially toxic inhalation hazards ("TIH") materials. Regulations issued by TC under the TDGA have added requirements for railway companies to take actions to mitigate security risks of transporting dangerous goods by rail.

The Company takes the following security measures:

•The Company employs its own police service that works closely with communities and other law enforcement and government agencies to promote railway safety and infrastructure security. As a railway law enforcement agency, the Company's Police Services has a central headquarter that oversees police officers assigned to field offices responsible for railway police operations across its network. The Company's Police Services operate on the Company's rail network as well as in areas where the Company has non-railway operations;

•The Company's Corporate Security department is committed to providing a safe and secure work environment for the Company’s employees, contractors, visitors, and other authorized persons on the Company's property, and to protecting the Company’s assets, operations, information, the

12 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

public and the environment from damage, interference, and undue liability. As part of this commitment, Corporate Security is responsible for ensuring: the security of the International Supply Chain and its requisite programs; providing training and awareness to employees and contractors; assessing the risk and vulnerability of the Company’s properties; establishing appropriate countermeasure to secure and protect the Company’s properties and assets; and engage with customers and the public. Specifically, the Company employs the following to support these initiatives:

◦The Company’s Security Management Plan is a comprehensive, risk-based plan modelled on and developed in conjunction with the security plan prepared by the Association of American Railroads post-September 11, 2001. Under this plan, the Company routinely examines and prioritizes railway assets, physical and cyber vulnerabilities, and threats, as well as tests and revises measures to provide essential railway security;

◦The Company’s Public Safety Communication Centre ("PSCC") operates 24 hours a day. PSCC receives reports of emergencies, dangerous or potentially dangerous conditions, and other safety and security issues from our employees, the public, and law enforcement and other government officials. PSCC ensures that proper emergency responders and governing bodies are notified; and

•To address cyber security risks, the Company’s Enterprise Security Department implements mitigation programs that evolve with the changing technology threat environment. The Company has also worked diligently to establish backup sites to ensure a seamless transition in the event that the Company's operating systems are the target of a cyber-attack. By doing so, the Company is able to maintain network fluidity.

Focus on Sustainability

Sustainability at the Company is rooted in a long-standing legacy of building for the future. We recognize that integrating sustainability into our business processes is imperative to future growth and long-term success as an organization. As one of North America’s top-performing railways, we seek to continue to innovate and to advance practices to create value for the Company’s stakeholders, including employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers, and local and Indigenous communities. We are proud to be recognized as a corporate sustainability leader in our industry.

To ensure that the Company manages the sustainability topics most significant to our business and stakeholders, we have structured our management approach across three strategic areas. Our sustainability practice is grounded in our commitment to safety, operational excellence, and social impact, and is designed to inspire action across our business.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 13

Sustainability Governance

Recognizing the importance of sustainability to our business and to our internal and external stakeholders, the Company has established a clear governance structure to effectively communicate and respond to environmental, social and governance ("ESG") topics, while proactively implementing our commitments and practices. The Board of Directors, through its committees, is responsible for the monitoring, measurement and oversight of the Company's key risks, strategies and sustainability topics. The Risk and Sustainability Committee of the Board reviews ESG performance against short- and long-term sustainability objectives and evaluates results of stakeholder engagement to ensure alignment with the Company’s strategic planning.

With oversight from the President and CEO of the Company, decisions on day-to-day implementation of the Company’s sustainability priorities are guided by a cross-functional executive Sustainability Steering Committee. The Sustainability Steering Committee regularly reports progress and advances recommendations on the Company’s sustainability objectives, policies, and management approach to the Risk and Sustainability Committee of the Board.

Through ongoing engagement and collaboration across and beyond our organization, the Company continually refines its sustainability approach, which is driven by our values and based on a shared sense of purpose, community, and vision for the future. We value feedback from our stakeholders, strive to learn from our performance and constantly challenge ourselves to improve our practices. As we continue to embed sustainability practices in our business, we are committed to improving our ESG disclosures to align with best practices and recognized sustainability disclosure standards.

Climate Change

Climate change represents a significant global challenge and the Company is committed to adapting our business and operations. The Company published its first Climate Strategy in 2021, outlining our approach to managing potential climate-related impacts, reducing our carbon footprint, and seeking to position the Company as an industry leader in the transition to a low-carbon future. As part of the Climate Strategy, the Company established science-based GHG emissions reduction targets covering 100% of Scope 1 and 2 emissions and more than half of our Scope 3 emissions.

Science-based targets are used by many companies to establish a pathway for GHG emissions reduction across their organizations. Emissions reduction targets are considered science-based if they align with both current climate science and the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Over the past year, the Company has taken action to support the execution of our Climate Strategy. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) works with the private sector to set and validate science-based emissions targets, and align corporate ambitions with global goals and investor expectations for business resilience in a net-zero economy. The SBTi has developed standardized tools, resources, and sector-specific methodologies to support company-specific emissions reduction targets. The SBTi is a partnership of the World Resources Institute, CDP, United Nations Global Compact, and the World Wildlife Fund for Nature.

14 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

To respond to the risks and opportunities posed by climate change and meet our decarbonization commitments, our Climate Strategy includes actions across five strategic pillars. We are strengthening roles and responsibilities for climate governance. The Company's President and CEO's oversight of the Sustainability Steering Committee includes performance related to climate change, while the Risk and Sustainability Committee of the Board provides oversight and reviews climate-related risks and opportunities. To lead our focus on decarbonization, we have established a Carbon Reduction Task Force, composed of the Company’s industry-leading engineers and operations experts. Reporting to the Sustainability Steering Committee, the Carbon Reduction Task Force evaluates, recommends, and implements climate action measures to reduce GHG emissions and drive performance in the direction of our science-based targets.

CP is building North America’s first line-haul hydrogen-powered locomotive using fuel cells and batteries to power the locomotive’s electric traction motors. In 2022, the Company advanced production on three hydrogen locomotive conversions and installing hydrogen production and fueling facilities. This industry-leading project is demonstrating the technical performance in real-world operations and generating critical industry knowledge and experience that is informing future commercialization and development activities. CP's Hydrogen Locomotive program passed a significant milestone in 2022 by completing the first successful movement and freight service testing on the initial hydrogen locomotive.

CP aligns our reporting by including the recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure ("TCFD") and has issued a TCFD aligned Index to demonstrate CP's full alignment to the recommendations. In addition, we regularly report on climate-related efforts through CDP and supplemental sustainability disclosures.

Human Capital Management

The Company is focused on attracting, developing, and retaining a resilient, high-performing workforce that delivers on providing service for our customers. The Company's culture is guided by three core values: Accountability, Diversity, and Pride. These values drive our actions. Everything we do is grounded in precision scheduled railroading and our five foundations of Provide Service, Control Costs, Optimize Assets, Operate Safely, and Develop People.

A team of approximately 13,000 railroaders across North America underpins the Company’s success and brings value to our customers and shareholders. Accordingly, Develop People is one of the foundations of how we do business, illustrating our focus and energy towards empowering our people, providing an engaging culture, and cultivating an industry leading team.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 15

Total Employees and Workforce

An employee is defined by the Company as an individual currently engaged in full-time, part-time, or seasonal employment with CP. The total number of employees as of December 31, 2022, was 12,754, an increase of 920 compared to 11,834 as at December 31, 2021.

Workforce is defined as total employees plus contractors and consultants. The total workforce as at December 31, 2022 was 12,824, an increase of 952 compared to 11,872 as at December 31, 2021.

Unionized Workforce

Class I railways are party to collective bargaining agreements with various labour unions. The majority of the Company's employees belong to labour unions and are subject to these agreements. The Company manages collaborative relationships with union members in both Canada and the U.S.

Unionized employees represent nearly 74% of our workforce and are represented by 37 active bargaining units.

Canada

Within Canada there are nine bargaining units representing approximately 7,200 Canadian unionized active employees. From time to time, we negotiate to renew collective agreements with various unionized groups of employees. In such cases, the collective agreements remain in effect until the bargaining process has been exhausted (pursuant to the Canada Labour Code). Four agreements are open for renewal of which one has been tentatively agreed and in the ratification stage. Agreements are in place with the other five bargaining units in Canada, of which two collective agreements are effective until December 31, 2023, one is effective until December 31, 2024, one is effective until December 31, 2025 and the last one until December 31, 2026.

U.S.

In the U.S., there are currently 28 active bargaining units on four subsidiary railroads representing approximately 2,300 unionized active employees. Agreements are in place with respect to 17 bargaining units which will expire in or beyond 2023. Negotiations have concluded on 2 agreements that are pending ratification, and negotiations are ongoing with the remaining 9 agreements.

Health and Safety

The Company is an industry leader in rail safety and we are committed to protecting our employees, our communities, our environment, and our customers’ goods. The Company remained an industry leader in train accident statistics for the 17th consecutive year and achieved the lowest ever train accident frequency recorded by a Class I railway. FRA personal injury frequency for 2022 was also the second lowest ever recorded by the Company. The Company's leadership approach has been the most impactful driver of the strong safety performance metrics and we are committed to continually improving on them. Aside from running trains, many of our employees work in yards, terminals, and shops across our network with machinery and heavy equipment, or in extreme weather conditions. Their safety is of utmost importance to the Company and through 2022 we have continued to look at ways to improve safety in these areas of the operation. Operate Safely is one of our five foundations of successful railroading and it starts with knowing and following the rules. The reportable train accident and personal injury frequency rates are key metrics as part of the Company's annual incentive plan.

The ongoing reinforcement of our HomeSafe initiative continues to drive improvement by tapping into the human side of safety and promoting both safety engagement and feedback. HomeSafe defines the commitment and actions needed to ensure everyone goes home safely each day. HomeSafe puts everyone on the same level and empowers all employees to begin a safety conversation, no matter their role or position. We intend to continue strengthening our strong HomeSafe culture in 2023 through active peer engagement, safety walkabouts, and awareness initiatives.

Our reportable personal injury incidents rate per 200,000 employee-hours increased 10% to 1.01 (2021 - 0.92) and our reportable train accident rate per million train-miles decreased 15% to 0.93 (2021 - 1.10). The Company’s safety performance is disclosed publicly on a quarterly basis using standardized metrics set out by the FRA.

Talent Management

The Company’s approach for talent management begins with our Human Resources department, which oversees recruitment, development, engagement, and retention with the current and future workforce and leadership of the Company.

The Management Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors reviews and informs the Company’s compensation plan and programming, and makes recommendations to the Board on succession planning for senior management and processes to identify, develop, and retain executive talent. Additionally, as part of the Company’s succession planning program, senior leaders are actively engaged in building the pool of future leaders and present their development plans to the Board.

The Company maintains a number of internal policies and processes related to recruitment, relocation, compensation, employment equity, and diversity and inclusion. The effective implementation of these policies alongside our ongoing workforce initiatives ensures the Company’s attraction and

16 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

recruitment, employee development, succession, engagement, and diversity and inclusion practices are consistent and aligned with the Company’s commitments, foundations, and values.

Attraction and Recruitment

We employ a number of recruitment strategies and retention tactics to attract and retain talent across North America. The Company offers many rewarding career opportunities in a variety of roles within the organization in both operating and support functions. We base our recruitment strategy on workforce planning needs, and our focus is on ensuring that we have a diverse candidate pool to fill our open positions.

The Company recognizes the valuable skills and experience that veterans have gained from serving their country. Our veteran program was recognized as part of Canada's Best Diversity Employers® of 2021 and we were named part of the top 10 Military Friendly® Employers in the U.S. for 2023. The Company was also named Canada's Top 100 Employers for 2023 as well as Alberta's Top 75 Employers for 2023.

The Company tracks recruitment performance and success rates to better understand which tactics, benefits, and strategic partnerships are most successful in bringing in and retaining new talent.

Talent Development & Succession

As part of our core foundation and commitment to Develop People, we encourage all employees to take an active role in their career planning and development. We believe that investing in our employees leads to improved workplace morale and fosters a supportive working environment.

Training and Development

One of the Company’s five foundations is to Develop People, which is integral to the way we do business at the railway. Our strategy involves delivering specialized training, best practices, and skill-broadening opportunities to all employees.

The Company offers a variety of training opportunities, providing both technical/on-the-job training, role-specific offerings as well as optional courses. Training includes instructor-led classes and online on-demand, self-directed online learning.

Non-union employees also complete annual performance management and development action plans with their leaders to set individual goals tied to the Company's five key foundations and track progress against Company expectations as well as career development goals.

Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity is one of our core values. We believe that different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives enhance creativity and innovation and encourage diversity of thought in the workplace. Fostering an inclusive environment where all employees feel empowered to strive for and achieve success supports our high-performance culture and is integral to our growth and success as an organization. Our Diversity and Inclusion team with support from senior leadership is responsible for developing programs and initiatives to achieve our diversity commitments. We are continually working on programs and opportunities to ensure we are attracting, retaining, and developing the best people and skill sets for the Company. The Company is committed to increasing diversity throughout all levels of the organization.

The Company recognizes the importance of Board member diversity as a critical component of objective oversight and continuous improvement. As of December 31, 2022, four of the nine directors (44%) are women. Additionally, one of our male directors identifies as a minority, which makes the majority of the Board of Directors (56%) members of "designated groups" as defined in the Employment Equity Act of Canada.

The Company has regulatory requirements to report on workforce diversity representation in Canada (Employment Equity Act) and the U.S. (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). The Company currently collects diversity data on the following categories: women, persons with disabilities, minorities (visible minorities), and Indigenous peoples (Canada) from employees through voluntary self-disclosure. The Company continues to focus our efforts on attracting, recruiting, and developing a diverse workforce. This data is shared in various disclosures and government reporting, internally with employees and leaders, as well as our Board of Directors.

The Company continues to work collaboratively with our employees, communities, and partner organizations along our network to progress and support the Company’s commitment toward a more representative and inclusive workplace. Some of our initiatives include:

•Establishing three diversity councils (Indigenous, Gender, and Racial). Each council is chaired by an executive and represents a diverse group of employees. The councils work to ensure we consider diversity and inclusion when we make decisions, provide feedback on corporate directions and promote initiatives that relate to each council’s area of focus;

•Providing a company wide diversity and inclusion anonymous survey, the results of which aid in putting in place initiatives and educational opportunities;

•Continuing our existing partnerships with associations and organizations that attract, recruit, and support skilled immigrants, transitioning veterans, persons with disabilities, and women;

•Working with Indigenous groups to develop relationships that are more meaningful, create targeted outreach programs and employment opportunities, and better understand Indigenous history, culture, and opportunities for collaboration;

•Supporting the development and advancement of women at the Company; and

•Increasing employee awareness regarding the Company’s workplace diversity and inclusion practices through communications, education, and training.

We pride ourselves on offering a diverse workplace with a variety of careers in both our corporate and field locations. We recruit and hire talent based on relevant skills and experience, and seek to attract the highest quality candidates regardless of gender, age, cultural heritage, or ethnic origin. One of our primary objectives is attracting, recruiting, retaining, and developing a workforce representative of the communities in which we operate.

18 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The risks set forth in the following risk factors could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity, and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the Company's forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively, "forward-looking statements").

The information set forth in this Item 1A. Risk Factors should be read in conjunction with the rest of the information included in this annual report, including Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Business and Operational Risks

As a common carrier, the Company is required by law to transport dangerous goods and hazardous materials, which could expose the Company to significant costs and claims. Railways, including the Company, are legally required to transport dangerous goods and hazardous materials as part of their common carrier obligations regardless of risk or potential exposure to loss. The Company transports dangerous goods and hazardous materials, including but not limited to crude oil, ethanol, and TIH materials such as chlorine gas and anhydrous ammonia. A train accident involving hazardous materials could result in significant claims against the Company arising from personal injury, property or natural resource damage, environmental penalties, and remediation obligations. Such claims, if insured, could exceed the existing insurance coverage commercially available to the Company, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results, and liquidity. The Company is also required to comply with rules and regulations regarding the handling of dangerous goods and hazardous materials across its network. Noncompliance with these rules and regulations can subject the Company to significant penalties and could factor in litigation arising out of a train accident. Changes to these rules and regulations could also increase operating costs, reduce operating efficiencies and impact service delivery.

The Company faces competition from other transportation providers and failure to compete effectively could adversely affect financial results. The Company faces significant competition for freight transportation across its network, including competition from other railways, motor carriers, ship and barge operators, and pipelines. Competition is based mainly on quality of service, freight rates, and access to markets. Other transportation modes generally use public rights-of-way that are built and maintained by government entities, while the Company and other railways must use internal resources to build and maintain their rail networks. Competition with the trucking industry is generally based on freight rates, flexibility of service, and transit time performance. Any future improvements or expenditures materially increasing the quality or reducing the cost of alternative modes of transportation, or legislation that eliminates or significantly reduces the burden of the size or weight limitations currently applicable to trucking carriers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial results.

The operations of carriers with which the Company interchanges may adversely affect operations. The Company's ability to provide rail services to customers across its network also depends upon its ability to maintain cooperative relationships with connecting carriers with respect to, among other matters, revenue division, car supply and locomotive availability, data exchange and communications, reciprocal switching, interchange, and trackage rights. Deterioration in the operations or services provided by connecting carriers, or in the Company's relationship with those connecting carriers, could result in the Company's inability to meet customers' demands or require the Company to use alternate train routes, which could result in significant additional costs and network inefficiencies and adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

The Company may be affected by acts of terrorism, war, or risk of war. The Company plays a critical role in the North American transportation system and therefore could become the target for acts of terrorism or war. The Company is also involved in the transportation of hazardous materials, which could result in the Company's equipment or infrastructure being direct targets or indirect casualties of terrorist attacks. Acts of terrorism, or other similar events, any government response thereto, and war or risk of war could cause significant business interruption to the Company and may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

The Company may be affected by fluctuating fuel prices. Fuel expense constitutes a significant portion of the Company’s operating costs. Fuel prices can be subject to dramatic fluctuations, and significant price increases could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. The Company currently employs a fuel cost adjustment program to help reduce volatility in changing fuel prices, but the Company cannot be certain that it will always be able to fully mitigate rising or elevated fuel costs through this program. Factors affecting fuel prices include worldwide oil demand, international politics, weather, refinery capacity, supplier and upstream outages, unplanned infrastructure failures, environmental and sustainability policies, and labour and political instability.

The Company relies on technology and technological improvements to operate its business and we are subject to cybersecurity risks. Information technology is critical to all aspects of the Company’s business, and the Company relies on technology systems operated by us or under control of third parties. Although the Company devotes significant resources to protect its technology systems and proprietary data, there can be no assurance that the systems we have designed to prevent or limit the effects of cyber incidents or attacks will be sufficient to prevent or detect such incidents or attacks, or to avoid a material adverse impact on our systems after such incidents or attacks do occur. The Company is continually evaluating attackers’ techniques and tactics, and the Company is diligent in its monitoring, training, planning, and prevention. However, due to the increasing sophistication of

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 19

cyber-attacks and greater complexity in our IT supply chain, the Company may be unable to anticipate or implement appropriate preventive measures to detect and respond to a security breach. This includes the raising rates of reported ransomware events, increased human error, or other cyber-attack methods disrupting the Company’s systems or the systems of third parties. If the Company or third parties whose technology systems we rely on were to experience a significant disruption or failure of one or more of their information technology or communications systems (either as a result of an intentional cyber or malicious act, or an unintentional error) it could result in significant service interruptions or other failures, safety failures, other operational difficulties unauthorized access to, the loss of access to or misappropriation of competitively sensitive, confidential or other critical information or systems, loss of customers, financial losses, regulatory fines, and misuse or corruption of critical data and proprietary information, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. The Company also may experience security breaches that could remain undetected for an extended period and, therefore, have a greater impact on the services we offer. In addition, if the Company is unable to acquire or implement new technology in general, the Company may suffer a competitive disadvantage, which could also have an adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.

Human Capital Risks

The availability of qualified personnel could adversely affect the Company's operations. Changes in employee demographics, training requirements and the availability of qualified personnel, particularly locomotive engineers and trainpersons, could negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet demand for rail services. Unpredictable increases in the demand for rail services may increase the risk of having insufficient numbers of trained personnel, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, changes in operations and other technology improvements may significantly impact the number of employees required to meet the demand for rail services.

Strikes or work stoppages could adversely affect the Company's operations. Class I railways are party to collective bargaining agreements with various labour unions. The majority of the Company's employees belong to labour unions and are subject to these agreements. Disputes with regard to the terms of these agreements or the Company's potential inability to negotiate acceptable contracts with these unions could result in, among other things, strikes, work stoppages, slowdowns, or lockouts, which could cause a significant disruption of the Company's operations and have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. Additionally, future national labour agreements, or provisions of labour agreements related to health care, could significantly increase the Company's costs for health and welfare benefits, which could have a material adverse impact on its financial condition and liquidity.

Legal and Regulatory Risks

The Company is subject to significant governmental legislation and regulation over commercial, operating and environmental matters. The Company’s railway operations are subject to extensive federal laws, regulations and rules in the countries it operates. Operations are subject to economic and safety regulations in Canada primarily by the Agency and TC. The Company’s U.S. operations are subject to economic and safety regulation by the STB and the FRA. Any new rules from our regulators could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity as well as its ability to invest in enhancing and maintaining vital infrastructure. Various other regulators, including the FRA, and its sister agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation, the PHMSA, directly and indirectly affect the Company’s operations in areas such as health, safety, security, environmental and other matters. Together, FRA and PHMSA have broad jurisdiction over railroad operating standards and practices, including track, freight cars, locomotives, and hazardous materials requirements. In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has regulatory authority with respect to matters that impact the Company's properties and operations. Additional regulation of the rail industry by these regulators or federal and state or provincial legislative bodies, whether under new or existing laws, may result in increased capital expenditures and operating costs and could have a significant negative impact on the Company’s ability to determine prices for rail services and result in a material adverse effect in the future on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and liquidity in a particular year or quarter. This potential material adverse effect could also result in reduced capital spending on the Company’s rail network or in abandonment of lines.

The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations that may result in significant costs. The Company’s operations are subject to extensive federal, state, provincial (Canada) and local environmental laws concerning, among other matters, emissions to the air, land, and water, and the handling of hazardous materials and wastes. Violation of these laws and regulations can result in significant fines and penalties, as well as other potential impacts on the Company’s operations. These laws can impose strict, and in some circumstances, joint and several liability on both current and former owners, and on operators of facilities. Such environmental liabilities may also be raised by adjacent landowners or third parties. In addition, in operating a railway, it is possible that releases of hazardous materials during derailments or other accidents may occur that could cause harm to human health or to the environment. Costs of remediation, damages and changes in regulations could materially affect the Company’s operating results and reputation. The Company has been, and may in the future be, subject to allegations or findings to the effect that it has violated, or is strictly liable under, environmental laws or regulations. The Company currently has obligations at existing sites for investigation, remediation and monitoring, and will likely have obligations at other sites in the future. The actual costs associated with both current and long-term liabilities may vary from the Company’s estimates due to a number of factors including, but not limited to changes in: the content or interpretation of environmental laws and regulations; required remedial actions; technology associated with site investigation or remediation; and the involvement and financial viability of other parties that may be responsible for portions of those liabilities.

20 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

The Company may be subject to claims and litigation that could result in significant expenditures. Due to the nature of its operations, the Company is exposed to the potential for claims and litigation arising out of personal injury, property damage or freight damage, employment, labour, contract or other commercial disputes, and environmental or other liability. The Company accrues for potential losses in accordance with applicable accounting standards, based on ongoing assessments of the likelihood of an adverse result in a claim or litigation together with the monetary relief or other damages sought or potentially recoverable. Material changes to litigation trends, a significant rail or other incident or series of incidents involving freight damage or loss, property damage, personal injury, or environmental or other liability, and other significant matters could have a material adverse impact to the Company's operations, reputation, financial position or liquidity.

Supply Chain Risks

Disruptions within the supply chain could negatively affect the Company's operational efficiencies and increase costs. The North American transportation system is integrated. The Company’s operations and service may be negatively impacted by service disruptions of other transportation links, such as ports, handling facilities, customer facilities, and other railways. A prolonged service disruption at one of these entities could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.

The Company is dependent on certain key suppliers of core railway equipment and materials that could result in increased price volatility or significant shortages of materials, which could adversely affect results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. Due to the complexity and specialized nature of core railway equipment and infrastructure (including rolling stock equipment, locomotives, rail and ties), there can be a limited number of suppliers of rail equipment and materials available. Should these specialized suppliers cease production or experience capacity or supply shortages, this concentration of suppliers could result in the Company experiencing cost increases or difficulty in obtaining rail equipment and materials, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. Additionally, the Company’s operations are dependent on the availability of diesel fuel. A significant fuel supply shortage arising from production decreases, increased demand in existing or emerging foreign markets, disruption of oil imports, disruption of domestic refinery production, damage to refinery or pipeline infrastructure, political unrest, war or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and liquidity in a particular year or quarter.

Risks Related to the Kansas City Southern Transaction

Following the closing of the KCS acquisition into a voting trust, although the Company does not control KCS, KCS’s operational and financial performance could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. On December 14, 2021, the KCS acquisition closed into a voting trust, whereby the Company indirectly acquired a 100% beneficial ownership interest in KCS but does not control KCS. KCS’s voting stock was deposited into a voting trust that insulates KCS from control by the Company. The Company will not control KCS until STB control approval is obtained. Until that time, KCS will be managed by its own executive team overseen by its own Board of Directors and the voting trust.

The voting trust precludes the Company from exercising control over the business strategy or other operational aspects of KCS. The Company’s investment in this unconsolidated entity was considered significant under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company cannot provide assurance that KCS will operate in a manner that will increase the value of the Company’s investments, that the Company’s income or losses from KCS will continue at the current level in the future, or that the Company will not incur losses from KCS. Write-downs to the carrying amount of the Company’s equity interest could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations.

The Company incurred substantial indebtedness in connection with consummation of the acquisition, which may pose risks and/or intensify existing risks. Prior to the closing into voting trust that occurred on December 14, 2021, the Company incurred additional indebtedness of approximately U.S. $6.7 billion and $2.2 billion notes and a U.S. $500 million term loan to indirectly fund the acquisition.

The foregoing indebtedness, as well as any additional indebtedness we may incur, could have the effect, among other things, of reducing our liquidity and may limit our flexibility in responding to other business opportunities and increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions.

Our ability to make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness depends upon our future performance, which will be subject to general economic, financial and business conditions, sufficient cash flow from KCS during the period in which it is in the voting trust, the implementation of the integration with KCS (if the STB approves our assuming control of KCS), and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, we may be required to redeem all of the outstanding 2.450% notes due 2031 and 3.000% notes due 2041 pursuant to a special mandatory redemption requirement of those notes, which could have a significant adverse impact on the business and financial condition of the Company. For more information, see "The combination is subject to final approval by the STB, and there can be no assurance as to whether and when it may be approved or if such approval will be granted with conditions acceptable to the parties; accordingly, the combination may be delayed, jeopardized or prevented entirely and the anticipated benefits of the combination could be reduced".

Our increased indebtedness could also reduce funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes and may create competitive disadvantages relative to other companies with lower debt levels. If we obtain control of KCS but we do not achieve the

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 21

expected benefits and cost savings from the combination, or if the financial performance of the combined company does not meet current expectations, then our ability to service our indebtedness may be adversely impacted.

The agreements that govern the indebtedness that has been incurred in connection with the KCS acquisition contain various affirmative and negative covenants that may, subject to certain customary exceptions, restrict our ability to, among other things, create liens over our property, change our line of business and/or merge or consolidate with any other person or sell or convey certain of our assets to another person. In addition, some of the agreements that govern our debt financings contain a financial covenant that requires us to maintain certain financial ratios. Various risks, uncertainties and events beyond our control could affect our ability to comply with these covenants and failure to comply with them could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could accelerate our repayment obligations. Under these circumstances, we may not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy all of our obligations.

Moreover, we may be required to raise substantial additional financing to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate requirements. Our ability to arrange additional financing or refinancing will depend on, among other factors, our financial position and performance, as well as prevailing market conditions and other factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing or refinancing on terms acceptable to us or at all.

The pendency of the STB's regulatory review of the combination could have an adverse effect on the Company’s businesses, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or the market value of the Company’s common stock and debt securities. The pendency of the regulatory review of the combination could disrupt the Company’s businesses, and uncertainty about the outcome of that review may have an adverse effect on the Company or the combined company. The attention of the Company’s management may be directed towards obtaining final approval from the STB and addressing related requests from the third parties for conditions on STB approval and may be diverted from the day-to-day business operations of the Company. Matters related to the combination may require commitments of time and resources that could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that might have been beneficial to the Company. Further, the combination may give rise to potential liabilities, including as a result of pending and future shareholder lawsuits relating to the combination. In addition, the Company has incurred, and expects to incur additional, material non-recurring expenses in connection with the completion of the combination. Any of these matters could adversely affect the businesses of, or harm the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows of the Company, and the market value of the Company’s common stock.

The combination is subject to final approval by the STB, and there can be no assurance as to whether and when it may be approved or if such approval will be granted with conditions acceptable to the parties; accordingly, the combination may be delayed, jeopardized or prevented entirely and the anticipated benefits of the combination could be reduced. The STB has the authority to impose conditions on its approval of a control transaction to alleviate competitive and other public interest harm. If such conditions were imposed, the anticipated benefits of the combination might be reduced. There is no assurance that final approval from the STB will be obtained or obtained on terms acceptable to the Company.

In addition, the STB's review process allows railroad competitors of the Company and KCS and other interested parties to intervene to oppose the STB application or seek conditions in the event approval by the STB is granted, which might delay the approval process or reduce the anticipated benefits of the combination. For example, on February 28, 2022, CN filed a responsive application asking the STB to condition any approval of a CP-KCS combination on the divestiture of KCS lines from Kansas City, Missouri to Springfield and East St. Louis, Illinois to CN, pursuant to the STB’s statutory authority to order “the divestiture of parallel tracks” as a merger condition. Furthermore, if the STB does not provide final approval or imposes conditions on its approval in a final order, and the Company and KCS decide to appeal such final order from the STB, any such appeal might not be resolved for a substantial period of time after the entry of such order by the STB.

If we determine in our reasonable judgment that the STB final approval will not be sought or has not or will not be received prior to March 25, 2023, then we will be required to redeem all of the outstanding 2.450% notes due 2031 and 3.000% notes due 2041 at a special mandatory redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Company may not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy such repurchase obligation, which could have a significant adverse impact on the business and financial condition of the Company.

If either (i) final approval from the STB has not been obtained by December 31, 2023 or (ii) the STB has, by a final and non-appealable order, refused to provide final approval (an “STB denial”), the Company would be required to dispose of its investment in KCS. Similarly, if the STB imposes onerous conditions on its final approval, the Company may choose to dispose of its investment in KCS rather than agreeing to the conditions imposed by the STB. In either case, the Company would be obligated under the voting trust agreement to directly or indirectly divest the trust stock in a manner that is acceptable to the STB. In the case of a divestiture, the market and divestiture alternatives for the trust stock might be limited, and such a disposition could cause the Company to incur significant losses and expenses in connection with the transaction, which could have a significant adverse impact on the business and financial condition of the Company.

The Company may be unable to integrate KCS successfully, and the Company may not experience the growth being sought from the combination. The Company and KCS have operated and, until the receipt of final approval from the STB, will continue to operate, independently.

22 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Integrating KCS with CP following STB approval of CP control will involve operational, technological and personnel-related challenges. This process will be time-consuming and expensive, may disrupt the businesses of either or both of the companies, and may reduce the growth opportunities sought from the combination. 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 would operate.

Climate-Related Risks

Climate change presents both physical and transition risks to our business. A summary of climate-related risks that could adversely affect our business, operations and financial results is discussed below.

Physical Risks

Changing climate conditions, severe weather or natural disasters could result in significant business interruptions and costs to the Company. The Company is exposed to severe weather conditions and natural disasters, including earthquakes, hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, floods, fires, avalanches, mudslides, extreme temperatures, and significant precipitation that may cause track outages, severe damage to infrastructure, and business interruptions that can adversely affect the Company’s entire rail network. These events can result in substantial costs to respond during the event and recover following the event. Costs can include modifications to existing infrastructure or implementation of new infrastructure to prevent future impacts to our business.

Impacts from these types of events are highly variable based on the severity and length of the event and scope of network impact. Climate-related changes such as rising mean temperatures and severe weather events can increase physical climate risk potentially compounding impacts to the business and operations. Such events have had and in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.

Insurance maintained by the Company to protect against loss of business and other related consequences resulting from these natural occurrences is subject to coverage limitations, depending on the nature of the risk insured. This insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of the Company's damages or damages to others, and may not continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates. Even with insurance, if any natural occurrence leads to a catastrophic interruption of services, the Company may not be able to restore services without a significant interruption in operations.

Transition Risks

Reputational Risks

The Company has established GHG emission reduction targets to guide the implementation of the Company's Climate Strategy. The Company's inability to achieve GHG emissions reduction targets could negatively impact both our reputation and financial results. The Company has established two science-based GHG emissions reduction targets to address a substantial portion of the Company's Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions by 2030. The primary risks associated with achieving these commitments include but are not limited to future investments in and the availability of GHG emissions-reduction tools and technologies, significant changes in the Company's GHG emissions profile as a result of changes to its railway asset base, the Company's ability to work with governments and third parties to mitigate the impacts of climate change, domestic and international economic conditions, including exchange rates, the effects of competition and regulation, uncertainties in the financial markets, capital spending, actions of vendors, the willingness of customers to acquire our services, cost of network expansion, maintenance and retrofits, and physical impact of climate change on our business. Our targets are subject to the successful implementation of the actions and plans outlined in the Climate Strategy as well as the accuracy of the assumptions in the science-based methodology used to calculate these targets. We cannot assure that the Company's plans to reduce GHG emissions will be viable or successful. Inability to meet GHG emissions reduction targets could have a material adverse effect on the Company's reputation, results of operations, or financial position.

Policy and Regulatory Risks

An escalating price on carbon emissions could materially increase direct costs related to fuel purchases and indirect expenses related to purchased goods, materials, and electricity required to operate our business. As a fuel-intensive operation, the Company is exposed to both emerging and escalating carbon pricing regulations. The Company is regulated under multiple carbon taxation systems and cap and trade market mechanisms in the Canadian provinces in which we operate. Approximately 75% of the Company’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions are generated through our operations in Canada and are impacted by carbon pricing mechanisms.

In most provinces, energy providers and utilities are directly regulated through carbon pricing programs. The Company’s carbon costs are generally assessed by our primary fuel suppliers based on fuel purchase transactions. The amount collected by our suppliers follows current regulatory carbon pricing rates multiplied by the total volume of fuel purchased. The Company’s carbon costs are also paid to a province as part of tax returns in some locations, based on reported locomotive fuel consumption in a specific region. The Company is further exposed to carbon pricing through electricity purchases, where electric utilities pass on carbon costs to customers. Introduction of, or changes to, regulations by government bodies in response to climate change that increase the cost of carbon emissions could result in a significant increase in expenses and could adversely affect our business performance, results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 23

Market Risks

A number of the sectors the Company serves have the potential to be significantly impacted by climate-related transitional risks, including increased regulations, technology changes, and shifts in consumer preferences. The Company’s business is based on transporting a wide variety of commodities from suppliers to the marketplace. The Company regularly transports energy commodities that serve refineries, processing locations, and end-users across North America and global markets. The Company’s business lines include thermal and metallurgical coal, crude oil and petroleum products, including liquefied petroleum gas, fuel oil, asphalt, gasoline, condensate (diluent), and lubricant oils.

Shifting consumer demand to lower-carbon products and increased climate-focused regulations, such as carbon pricing and fuel regulations, may instigate a broad transition in the energy sector. Programs that place a price on carbon emissions or other government restrictions on certain market sectors may further impact current and potential freight rail customers in the energy sector. A comprehensive transition in the energy sector could significantly impact the markets of the Company's energy customers or lead to market differentiation through geographic variation in policies and demand trends. A portion of the Company’s business could be materially affected by potential future changes and instability such a transition.

General Risk Factors

Global Risks

Global economic conditions could negatively affect demand for commodities and other freight transported by the Company. A decline or disruption in domestic, cross border or global economic conditions that affect the supply or demand for the commodities that the Company transports may decrease the Company’s freight volumes and may result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial or operating results and liquidity. Economic conditions resulting in bankruptcies of one or more large customers could have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and liquidity in a particular year or quarter.

Our business, financial condition, and results of operations have been adversely affected, and in the future, could be adversely affected by pandemics or other public health crises. The future impacts of COVID-19 on the Company's business or operating and financial results are unpredictable and cannot be identified or assessed with certainty at this time. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the global economy and resulted in a widespread economic downturn which has adversely impacted and could continue to adversely impact demand for our services and otherwise cause interruptions, including fluctuations to commodity prices, disruptions or restrictions on the ability to transport freight in the ordinary course, temporary closures of facilities and ports, or the facilities and ports of our customers, partners, suppliers or other third-party service providers, and/or changes to export/import restrictions. The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has impacted and may continue to impact the seasonal trends that typically characterize our revenues and operating income. There is no assurance that the pandemic will not continue to have a material and adverse impact on our business or results of operations. Additionally, our operations could be further negatively affected if a significant number of our employees are unable to perform their normal duties, including because of contracting COVID-19 or based on further direction from governments, public health authorities or regulatory agencies. The extent of the impact, if any, will depend on developments, many of which are beyond our control, including actions taken by governments, financial institutions, monetary policy authorities, and public health authorities to contain and respond to public health concerns and general economic conditions as a result of the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic may also result in continued substantial market volatility and declines, which could adversely impact future net periodic benefit costs and funding requirements of the Company’s pension plans. Furthermore, certain impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including demand for our services and to economic conditions generally, could continue following the pandemic or the expiration or termination of government actions in respect of the pandemic.

We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required or recommended by federal, provincial, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, shareholders, and other stakeholders. We cannot be certain of potential effects that any such alterations or modifications may have on our business or operating and financial results in future fiscal periods.

To the extent COVID-19 adversely affects our business or operating and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described above and below. In addition, we could be materially and adversely affected by other public health crises, including another widespread epidemic or pandemic.

Liquidity Risks

The state of capital markets could adversely affect the Company's liquidity. Weakness in the capital and credit markets could negatively impact the Company’s access to capital. From time to time, the Company relies on the capital markets to provide some of its capital requirements, including the issuance of long-term debt instruments and commercial paper. Significant instability or disruptions of the capital markets and the credit markets, or deterioration of the Company's financial condition due to internal or external factors could restrict or eliminate the Company's access to, and/or significantly increase the cost of, various financing sources, including bank credit facilities and issuance of corporate bonds. Instability or disruptions of the capital markets and deterioration of the Company's financial condition, alone or in combination, could also result in a reduction in the Company's credit rating to below investment grade, which could also further prohibit or restrict the Company from accessing external sources of short-term and long-term debt financing, and/or significantly increase the associated costs.

Network Geography

The Company operates on a network of approximately 13,000 miles of first main track, of which the Company accesses 2,100 miles under trackage rights. The Company's owned track miles include leases with wholly owned subsidiaries where the term of the lease exceeds 99 years. The Company's track miles do not include approximately 7,100 miles of tracks owned and operated by KCS and its subsidiaries. The Company's track network represents the size of the Company's operations that connects markets, customers, and other railways. Of the total mileage operated, approximately 5,200 miles are located in western Canada, 2,500 miles in eastern Canada (including CMQ Canada), 4,500 miles in the U.S. Midwest, and 600 miles in the U.S. Northeast. The Company’s network accesses the U.S. markets directly through four wholly owned subsidiaries: Soo Line Railroad Company (“Soo Line”), a Class I railway operating in the U.S. Midwest; the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad ("DM&E"), which operates in the U.S. Midwest; Delaware & Hudson Railway Company, Inc., which operates between eastern Canada and the U.S. Northeast; and the Central Maine & Quebec Railway U.S. Inc., which operates in the U.S. Northeast.

The Company’s network in Canada extends from the Port of Vancouver, B.C. on Canada’s Pacific Coast to the Port of Montréal, Québec and eastern Québec and to the Port of Saint John, New Brunswick via a haulage agreement, and to the U.S. industrial centres of Chicago, Illinois; Detroit, Michigan; Buffalo and Albany, New York; Kansas City, Missouri; and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

At December 31, 2022, the breakdown of the Company's operated track miles is as follows:

	Total

Rail Facilities

The Company operates numerous facilities including: terminals for intermodal, transload, automotive and other freight; classification rail yards for train-building and switching, storage-in-transit and other activities; offices to administer and manage operations; dispatch centres to direct traffic on the rail network; crew quarters to house train crews along the rail line; shops and other facilities for fuelling; maintenance and repairs of locomotives; and facilities for maintenance of freight cars and other equipment. The Company continues to invest in terminal upgrades and new facilities to accommodate incremental growth in volumes. Typically in all of our major yards, the Company's Police Services has offices to ensure the safety and security of the yards and operations.

Equipment

The Company's equipment includes: owned and leased locomotives and railcars; heavy maintenance equipment and machinery; other equipment and tools in our shops, offices and facilities; and vehicles for maintenance, transportation of crews, and other activities. In this section, owned equipment includes units acquired by the Company, equipment leased to third parties, units held under finance leases, and equipment leased to the Company under short-term or long-term operating leases.

The Company’s locomotive fleet is composed of largely high-adhesion alternating current locomotives that are more fuel efficient and reliable and have superior hauling capacity as compared with standard direct current locomotives. The Company has entered into locomotive leases in the past to ensure there is appropriate capacity to meet market demand. The Company’s locomotive productivity, defined as the daily average GTMs divided by daily average operating horsepower, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, was 196 and 201 GTMs per Operating horsepower, respectively. Operating horsepower excludes units offline, tied up or in storage, or in use on other railways, and includes foreign units online. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 262 locomotives in storage. As of December 31, 2022, the Company owned or leased the following locomotive units: 

Locomotives	Owned	Leased	Total	Average Age (in years)
Line haul	767	56	823	14

Headquarters Office Building

The Company owns and operates a multi-building campus in Calgary encompassing the head office building, a data centre, training facility, and other office and operational buildings.

The Company's main dispatch centre is located in Calgary, and is the primary dispatching facility in Canada. Rail traffic controllers coordinate and dispatch crews, and manage the day-to-day locomotive management across the network, 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. The operations centre has a complete backup system in the event of any power disruption. 

In addition to fully operational redundant systems, the Company has a fully integrated Business Continuity Centre, should the Company's operations centre be affected by any natural disaster, fire, cyber-attack, or hostile threat.

The Company also maintains a secondary dispatch centre located in Minneapolis, where a facility similar to the one in Calgary exists. It services the dispatching needs of locomotives and train crews working in the U.S.

Capital Expenditures

The Company incurs expenditures to expand and enhance its rail network, rolling stock, and other infrastructure. These expenditures are aimed at improving efficiency and safety of our operations. Such investments are also an integral part of the Company's multi-year capital program and support growth initiatives. For further details, refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Encumbrances

Refer to Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 15 Debt, for information on the Company's finance lease obligations and assets held as collateral under these agreements.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For further details, refer to Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 24 Commitments and contingencies.

SEC regulations require the disclosure of any proceeding under environmental laws to which a government authority is a party unless the registrant reasonably believes it will not result in sanctions over a certain threshold. The Company uses a threshold of U.S. $1 million for the purposes of determining proceedings requiring disclosure.

From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries may be subject to information requests from U.S. State or Federal environmental regulatory authorities inquiring as to the Company’s compliance or remediation practices in the U.S. In September 2020, the Company received an initial request for information from the EPA inquiring into the Company’s compliance with the mobile source provisions of the Clean Air Act (“CAA”). The Company has been providing information in response to the EPA’s initial and follow-up requests, and the EPA has issued Notices of Violations, which preliminarily identify certain categories of alleged non-compliance with civil provisions of the CAA pertaining to locomotives and locomotive engines. In December 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) sent a communication requesting a meeting with the Company to discuss potentially resolving any alleged noncompliance which included an initial draft consent decree from the DOJ. Neither the EPA nor the DOJ has issued a final compendium of alleged violations, demand for corrective or mitigating actions, or articulated a preliminary civil penalty assessment, and it remains too early to provide a fulsome evaluation of the likely outcome with respect to either the nature of any alleged violations or the amount of any potential civil penalty. The Company will continue to fully cooperate and engage in discussions to resolve the matter.

Executive Summary

2022 Results

•Financial performance – In 2022, the Company reported Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $3.77, a 10% decrease from $4.18 in 2021. Core adjusted diluted EPS has remained unchanged at $3.77. The Company’s commitment to service and operational efficiency produced an Operating ratio of 62.2% and an Adjusted operating ratio of 61.4%. Core adjusted diluted EPS and Adjusted operating ratio are defined and reconciled in Non-GAAP Measures and discussed further in Results of Operations of this Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

•Total revenues – The Company’s Total revenues increased by 10% to $8,814 million in 2022 from $7,995 million in 2021, driven primarily by higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices and higher freight rates.

Performance Indicators

The following table lists the key measures of the Company’s operating performance:

For the year ended December 31	2022	2021	% Change
Gross ton-miles (“GTMs”) (millions)	269,134	271,921	(1)
Train miles (thousands)	28,899	29,397	(2)
Fuel efficiency (U.S. gallons of locomotive fuel consumed /1,000 GTMs)	0.955	0.931	3
Total employees (average)	12,570	12,337	2

These key measures are used by management as comparisons to historical operating results and in the planning process to facilitate decisions that continue to drive further productivity improvements in the Company's operations. Results of these key measures reflect how effective the Company’s management is at controlling costs and executing the Company’s operating plan and strategy. 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.

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 for 2022 were 269,134 million, a slight decrease compared with 271,921 million in 2021. The decrease in GTMs was mainly attributable to lower volumes of Canadian grain, Coal, and Energy, chemicals and plastics. This decrease was partially offset by higher volumes of Intermodal, U.S. grain, Potash, and frac sand.

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, indicates improved train productivity. Train miles for 2022 were 28,899 thousands, a decrease of 2% compared with 29,397 thousands in 2021. This decrease reflects the impact of a slight decrease in workload (GTMs), as well as the impact of a 1% increase in average train weights.

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 the Company's commitment to corporate sustainability through a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions intensity. Fuel efficiency for 2022 was 0.955 U.S. gallons/1,000 GTMs, a decrease of 3% compared to 0.931 U.S. gallons/1,000 GTMs in 2021. This decrease was due to harsher winter

36 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

operating conditions in 2022, higher volumes of Intermodal, which has lower horsepower utilization, and lower locomotive productivity defined as the daily average GTMs divided by daily average operating horsepower.

An employee is defined as an individual currently engaged in full-time, part-time, or seasonal employment with the Company. The Company monitors employment 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 for 2022 was 12,570, an increase of 233, or 2%, compared to 12,337 in 2021 to support anticipated future volume growth.

Results of Operations

Operating Revenues

For the year ended December 31	2022		2021		Total Change		% Change
Freight revenues (in millions)(1)	$	8,627	$	7,816	$	811	10
Non-freight revenues (in millions)	187		179		8		4
Total revenues (in millions)	$	8,814	$	7,995	$	819	10
Carloads (in thousands)	2,782.1		2,735.5		46.6		2
Revenue ton-miles (in millions)	148,228		149,686		(1,458)		(1)
Freight revenue per carload (in dollars)	$	3,101	$	2,857	$	244	9
Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	5.82		5.22		0.60		11

(1) Freight revenues include fuel surcharge revenues of $1,303 million in 2022 and $535 million in 2021. Fuel surcharge revenues include recoveries of carbon taxes, levies, and obligations under cap-and-trade program

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

Total Revenues

The increase in Freight revenues was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM, partially offset by lower volumes as measured by RTMs. The increase in Non-freight revenues was primarily due to higher leasing revenue, higher passenger revenue from passenger service operators, and higher interline switching fees, partially offset by lower revenue from logistical services.

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. The decrease in RTMs was mainly attributable to lower volumes of Canadian grain, Coal, and Energy, chemicals and plastics. This decrease was partially offset by higher volumes of Intermodal, U.S. grain, Potash, and frac sand.

Freight revenue per RTM

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. The increase in Freight revenue per RTM was primarily due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices of $709 million, higher freight rates, and the favourable impact of the change in foreign exchange ("FX") of $142 million. This increase was partially offset by lower crude liquidated damages, including customer volume commitments, due to completion of customer contracts.

Lines of Business

Grain

For the year ended December 31	2022		2021		Total Change		% Change
Freight revenues (in millions)	$	1,776	$	1,684	$	92	5

Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	5.03		4.43		0.60		14

The increase in Grain revenue was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM and higher volumes of U.S. corn from the U.S. Midwest to western Canada, partially offset by lower volumes of Canadian grain to Vancouver, B.C. and eastern Canada due to drought conditions that impacted the 2021-2022 Canadian crop size. 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.

Coal

For the year ended December 31	2022		2021		Total Change		% Change
Freight revenues (in millions)	$	577	$	625	$	(48)	(8)

Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	3.85		3.41		0.44		13

The decrease in Coal revenue 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, which has a shorter length of haul.

Potash

For the year ended December 31	2022		2021		Total Change		% Change

Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	3.20		2.78		0.42		15

The increase in Potash revenue was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM and higher volumes of export potash to Vancouver and Thunder Bay, Ontario. Freight revenue per RTM increased due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices, the favourable impact of the change in FX, and higher freight rates.

Fertilizers and Sulphur

Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	6.96		6.30		0.66		10

The increase in Fertilizers and sulphur revenue was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM and higher volumes of dry fertilizers, partially offset by lower volumes of wet fertilizers and sulphur. 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

For the year ended December 31	2022		2021		Total Change		% Change
Freight revenues (in millions)	$	403	$	348	$	55	16

Revenue ton-miles (in millions)	24,625		25,469		(844)		(3)
Freight revenue per carload (in dollars)	$	4,687	$	4,883	$	(196)	(4)
Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	5.66		6.14		(0.48)		(8)

The decrease in Energy, chemicals and plastics revenue was primarily due to decreased freight revenue per RTM and lower volumes of conventional crude, LPG, and other energy 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, Missouri and ethylene glycol to Vancouver, the favourable impact of the change in FX, and higher freight rates. Freight revenue per RTM decreased due to lower crude liquidated damages, including customer volume commitments, as a result of the completion of customer contracts. RTMs decreased less than carloads due to moving higher volumes of DRUbitTM crude to Kansas City, which has a longer length of haul.

Metals, Minerals and Consumer Products

For the year ended December 31	2022		2021		Total Change		% Change

Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	7.55		6.52		1.03		16

The increase in Metals, minerals and consumer products revenue was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM and higher volumes of frac sand to the Marcellus and Bakken shale formations, partially offset by lower volumes of steel and aggregates. 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.

Automotive

Freight revenue per revenue ton-mile (in cents)	25.23		21.30		3.93		18

The increase in Automotive revenue was primarily due to increased freight revenue per RTM, partially offset by lower volumes as a result of global supply chain challenges. Freight revenue per RTM increased due to higher fuel surcharge revenue as a result of higher fuel prices, the favourable impact of the change in FX, and higher freight rates.

Intermodal

For the year ended December 31	2022		2021		Total Change		% Change

Operating expenses were $5,485 million in 2022, an increase of $696 million, or 15%, from $4,789 million in 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•the unfavourable impact of higher fuel prices of $483 million;

•the impact of cost inflation;

•the unfavourable impact of the change in FX of $71 million;

•a gain on the exchange of property and construction easements in Chicago of $50 million in 2021 and lower gains on land sales of $15 million; and

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

This increase was partially offset by lower acquisition-related costs of $109 million associated with the KCS acquisition recorded in Purchased services and other, and lower incentive and stock-based compensation primarily due to lower payout assumptions.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expense includes employee wages, salaries, fringe benefits, and stock-based compensation. Compensation and benefits expense was $1,570 million in 2022, unchanged compared to $1,570 million in 2021. This was primarily due to lower incentive and stock-based compensation primarily due to lower payout assumptions, and lower post-retirement benefits current service cost of $24 million.

These decreases were offset by:

•the impact of wage and benefit inflation;

•the unfavourable impact of the change in FX of $18 million; and

•increased new hire training cost.

Fuel

Fuel expense consists mainly of fuel used by locomotives and includes provincial, state, and federal fuel taxes. Fuel expense was $1,400 million in 2022, an increase of $546 million, or 64%, from $854 million in 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•the unfavourable impact of higher fuel prices of $483 million;

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 38

•a decrease in fuel efficiency of 3% due to harsher winter operating conditions in 2022, higher volumes of Intermodal, which has lower horsepower utilization, and lower locomotive productivity defined as the daily average GTMs divided by daily average operating horsepower; and

•the unfavourable impact of the change in FX of $27 million;

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

Materials

Materials expense includes the cost of material used for maintenance of track, locomotives, freight cars, and buildings as well as software sustainment. Materials expense was $260 million in 2022, an increase of $45 million, or 21%, from $215 million in 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•the impact of cost inflation particularly in non-locomotive fuel prices;

•higher spending on track and locomotive maintenance and;

•an increase in non-locomotive fuel consumption.

Equipment Rents

Equipment rents expense includes the cost associated with using other companies’ freight cars, intermodal equipment, and locomotives, net of rental income received from other railways for the use of the Company’s equipment. Equipment rents expense was $140 million in 2022, an increase of $19 million, or 16%, from $121 million in 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•lower price incentives received on intermodal cars;

•slower cycle times; and

•greater usage of pooled freight cars.

This increase was partially offset by higher receipts for CP freight cars used by other railways.

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 expense was $853 million for 2022, an increase of $42 million, or 5%, from $811 million in 2021. This increase was primarily due to a higher asset base, as a result of the capital program spending in 2022 and recent years as well as the unfavourable impact of the change in FX of $8 million.

Purchased services and other expense encompasses a wide range of third-party costs, including contractor and consulting fees, locomotive and freight car repairs performed by third parties, property and other taxes, intermodal pickup and delivery services, casualty expense, expenses for joint facilities, and gains on land sales. Purchased services and other expense was $1,262 million in 2022, an increase of $44 million, or 4%, from $1,218 million in 2021. This increase was primarily due to:

•the impact of cost inflation, including higher pickup and delivery, which is reported in Intermodal;

•a gain on the exchange of property and construction easements in Chicago of $50 million in 2021 and lower gains on land sales of $15 million;

•higher expenses primarily due to higher events and sponsorship costs;

•the unfavourable impact of the change in FX of $13 million;

•increased purchased services due to harsher weather conditions, reported in Track and operations; and

•a $7 million arbitration settlement in 2021, reported in Track and operations.

39 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

This increase was partially offset by:

•lower acquisition-related costs of $109 million associated with the KCS acquisition, reported in Other;

•lower expenses from lower volumes, reported in Intermodal, and Track and operations; and

•lower expenses primarily due to the reduced severity of casualty incidents.

Other Income Statement Items

Equity Earnings (Loss) of Kansas City Southern

On December 14, 2021, following the consummation of the KCS acquisition, the shares of KCS were placed into a voting trust while the United States Surface Transportation Board (“STB”) considers the Company's application for control of KCS.

In 2022, the Company recognized $1,074 million (U.S. $820 million) of equity earnings of KCS in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. This amount is net of amortization of basis differences of $163 million (U.S. $125 million) associated with KCS purchase accounting, and includes acquisition-related costs incurred by KCS. These basis differences relate to depreciable property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with definite lives, and long-term debt, and are amortized over the related assets' remaining useful lives, and the remaining terms to maturity of the debt instruments. Equity earnings for 2022 represent a full year of income attributable to CP, whereas the $141 million equity loss recognized in 2021 was limited to the 18 day period from the date of acquisition of KCS closing into the voting trust to December 31, 2021. The equity loss in 2021 was attributable to acquisition-related costs incurred by KCS during that period. Equity earnings of KCS recognized in 2022 also included KCS's gain on unwinding of interest rate hedges of $212 million, which is net of CP's associated purchase accounting basis difference and tax. KCS's gain on unwinding of interest rate hedges and acquisition-related costs are discussed further and reconciled in Non-GAAP Measures of this Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

On a historical basis, without any effect of purchase accounting, KCS recorded net income attributable to controlling interests of $1,278 million (U.S. $982 million) in 2022, a favourable change of $620 million (U.S. $457 million), or 94%, from $658 million (U.S. $525 million) net income in 2021. Included within the $1,278 million (U.S $982 million) net income was a $254 million (net of tax) (U.S $195 million) gain from the unwinding of interest rate hedges. The remainder of the change was primarily due to higher revenues of $692 million (U.S. $423 million) and lower acquisition related costs, partially offset by higher fuel cost of $208 million (U.S. $148 million). Acquisition-related costs (net of tax) incurred by KCS in 2022 were $50 million (U.S. $38 million), a decrease of $221 million (U.S. $178 million), or 82%, from $271 million (U.S. $216 million) in the same period of 2021. These values have been translated at the average FX rate of $1.30 and $1.25 CAD per USD for 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Other Expense (Income)

Other expense (income) 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 $17 million in 2022, a decrease of $220 million, or 93%, from expense of $237 million in 2021. This decrease was primarily due to acquisition-related costs of $247 million in 2021, which included losses on interest rate hedges of $264 million and bridge facility and backstop revolver fees of $52 million, partially offset by gains on cash held for the KCS acquisition of $56 million, and gains on FX hedges of $13 million. This decrease was partially offset by lower net FX gains on US-denominated cash, working capital, debt, and lease liabilities of $11 million in 2022 and higher amortization of fees of $11 million related to debt issued for the KCS acquisition in the last quarter of 2021.

FX translation gains and losses on debt and lease liabilities and acquisition-related costs are discussed further in Non-GAAP Measures of this Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Merger Termination Fee

On May 21, 2021, KCS terminated the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Original Merger Agreement") with CP to enter into a definitive agreement with 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 was reported as "Merger termination fee" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income in 2021. No similar items were received in 2022. Merger termination fee is discussed further and reconciled in Non-GAAP Measures of this Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

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 plan assets, recognized net actuarial losses, and amortization of prior service costs. Other components of net periodic benefit recovery were $411 million in 2022, an increase of $24 million, or 6%, from $387 million in 2021. This increase was primarily due to a decrease in recognized net actuarial losses of $57 million, partially offset by an increase in interest cost on the benefit obligation of $32 million.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 40

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense includes interest on long-term debt and finance leases. Net interest expense was $652 million in 2022, an increase of $212 million, or 48%, from $440 million in 2021. This increase was primarily due to interest of $234 million on long-term debt issuances and term facility related to the KCS acquisition, a change in FX of $15 million, and higher commercial paper interest of $10 million. This increase was partially offset by the favourable impacts of maturing long-term debt repayments of $32 million and $14 million resulting from lower effective interest rates.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $628 million in 2022, a decrease of $140 million, or 18%, from $768 million in 2021. This decrease was primarily due to:

•lower taxable earnings, mainly due to the $845 million (U.S. $700 million) merger termination payment received in 2021 in connection with KCS's termination of the Original Merger Agreement, partially offset by lower acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS acquisition;

•a reversal of an uncertain tax position related to a prior period of $24 million; and

•income tax recoveries of $12 million as a result of a decrease in the Iowa state tax rate.

This decrease was partially offset by lower deferred tax recoveries of $14 million on changes in the outside basis difference of the equity investment in KCS.

The effective income tax rate for 2022 was 15.16% and 22.24% on an adjusted basis. The effective income tax rate for 2021 was 21.23% and 23.85% on an adjusted basis. The adjusted effective tax rate is a Non-GAAP measure, calculated as the effective tax rate adjusted for significant items as they are not considered indicative of future financial trends either by nature or amount or provide improved comparability to past performance, and, in 2022, the adjusted effective tax rate also excluded equity earnings of KCS. This Non-GAAP measure does not have a standardized meaning and is not defined by GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Significant items are discussed further in Non-GAAP Measures of this Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The Company's 2023 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 24%, which excludes discrete tax items, the impact of the change in the equity investment in KCS, and associated deferred tax on the outside basis difference during the year (discussed further in Critical Accounting Estimates of this Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation). The Company’s 2023 outlook for its effective 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. These assumptions are discussed further in Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Impact of Foreign Exchange on Earnings and Foreign Exchange Risk

Although the Company 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, commodity prices, and Canadian, U.S., and international monetary policies. 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.

In 2022, the U.S. dollar has strengthened to an average rate of $1.30 Canadian/U.S. dollar, compared to $1.25 Canadian/U.S. dollar in 2021. In 2022, the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar resulted in an increase in Total revenues of $143 million, an increase in Total operating expenses of $71 million, and an increase in Net interest expense of $15 million.

In 2023, excluding impacts of KCS, the Company 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 $37 million (2022 – approximately $35 million), negatively (or positively) impacts Operating expenses by approximately $18 million (2022 – approximately $19 million), and negatively (or positively) impacts Net interest expense by approximately $4 million (2022 – approximately $4 million) on an annualized basis.

The Company uses U.S. dollar-denominated debt and operating lease liabilities to hedge its net investment in U.S. operations. As at December 31, 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, the Company 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.

41 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Impact of Fuel Price on Earnings

Fluctuations in fuel prices affect the Company’s results because fuel expense constitutes a significant portion of the Company's operating costs. As fuel prices fluctuate, there will be a timing impact on earnings, as discussed further in Item 1. Business, Operations, Fuel Cost Adjustment Program and Item 1A. Risk Factors, Fuel Cost Volatility.

The impact of fuel price on earnings includes the impacts of provincial and federal carbon taxes and levies recovered and paid on revenues and expenses, respectively.

In 2022, the favourable impact of fuel prices on Operating income was $226 million. Higher fuel prices and increased carbon tax recoveries resulted in an increase in Total revenues of $709 million from 2021. Higher fuel prices resulted in an increase in Total operating expenses of $483 million.

Impact of Share Price on Earnings and Stock-Based Compensation

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".

In 2022, the impact of the change in Common Share prices resulted in stock-based compensation expense of $16 million, an increase of $5 million, from $11 million in 2021.

Based on information available at December 31, 2022 and expectations for 2023 grants, excluding impacts of KCS, for every $1.00 change in share price, stock-based compensation expense has a corresponding change of approximately $1.2 million to $1.8 million (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 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 22 Stock-based compensation.

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 December 31, 2022, the Company had $451 million of Cash and cash equivalents compared to $69 million at December 31, 2021.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company's revolving credit facility was undrawn, unchanged from December 31, 2021, from a total available amount of U.S. $1.3 billion. Effective April 9, 2021, the Company amended its revolving credit facility to modify certain provisions relating to the calculation of the financial covenant ratio in its revolving credit facility. Effective September 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the two-year tranche and the five-year tranche of its revolving credit facility to September 27, 2023 and September 27, 2026, respectively. Effective September 29, 2021, the Company entered into a further amendment to its revolving credit facility in order to provide financial covenant flexibility for acquisition financing pertaining to the KCS acquisition, which is in place for a two-year period until December 14, 2023. In 2021, the Company also entered into a U.S. $500 million unsecured non-revolving term credit facility with a maturity date of March 15, 2022. Effective March 14, 2022, the Company extended the maturity date of the U.S. $500 million term facility to September 15, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repaid in full the borrowings of $636 million (U.S. $500 million) on this unsecured non-revolving term credit facility. The facility was automatically terminated on September 15, 2022, following the final principal repayment.

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 December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any borrowings on its commercial paper program (December 31, 2021 – U.S. $265 million).

As at December 31, 2022, under its bilateral letter of credit facilities, the Company had letters of credit drawn of $75 million from a total available amount of $300 million (December 31, 2021 - $58 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 December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any collateral posted on its bilateral letter of credit facilities (December 31, 2021 – Nil).

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 42

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, supplier purchases, leases, and other long term liabilities. Outstanding obligations related to debt and leases can be found in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 15 Debt and Note 18 Leases. Interest obligations related to debt and finance leases amount to $649 million within the next 12 months, with the remaining amount committed thereafter of $13,710 million.

Supplier purchase agreements and other long-term liabilities amount to $1,036 million and $57 million within the next 12 months, respectively, with the remaining amount committed thereafter of $364 million and $443 million, respectively. Other long-term liabilities includes 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 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Guarantees

Refer to Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 25 Guarantees for details.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $4,142 million in 2022, an increase of $454 million, or 12%, compared to $3,688 million in 2021. This increase was primarily due to higher cash generating income in 2022 including dividends received from KCS of $1,157 million, partially offset by the $845 million merger termination fee received in 2021.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $1,496 million in 2022, a decrease of $12,234 million, or 89%, from $13,730 million in 2021. This decrease was primarily due to cash payments made to KCS and their stockholders for the acquisition of KCS in 2021.

Track and roadway expenditures include the replacement and enhancement of the Company’s track infrastructure. Of the $1,048 million additions in 2022 (2021 – $970 million), approximately $967 million (2021 – $917 million) was invested in the renewal of depleted assets, namely rail, ties, ballast, signals, and bridges. Approximately $81 million (2021 – $53 million) was invested in network improvements and growth initiatives.

Rolling stock investments encompass locomotives and railcars. In 2022, expenditures on locomotives were approximately $84 million (2021 – $121 million) and were focused on the continued re-investment in the Company's existing locomotive fleet. Railcar investment of approximately $159 million (2021 – $176 million) was largely focused on renewal of depleted assets, including the acquisition of covered hoppers for grain transportation.

43 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

In 2022, investments in buildings were approximately $75 million (2021 - $105 million) and included items such as facility upgrades, renovations, and shop equipment. Other items were $199 million (2021 – $179 million) and included investments in work equipment, information system software, vehicles, containers, and other growth initiatives.

For 2023, the Company expects to invest approximately $1.6 billion in its standalone capital programs, excluding any capital spend that the Company may require following acquisition of control of KCS. Capital programs will be financed with cash generated from operations. Approximately 60% to 70% of the planned capital programs is for track and roadway. Approximately 15% to 20% is expected to be allocated to rolling stock, including railcars and locomotive improvements. Approximately 5% is expected to be allocated to information services, and 5% is expected to be allocated to buildings. Other investments is expected to be 5% to 10%. Additional discussion of capital commitments can be found in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 24 Commitments and Contingencies.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $2,297 million in 2022, a change of $12,233 million, or 123%, from cash provided by financing activities of $9,936 million in 2021. This change was primarily due to:

•issuance of U.S $6.7 billion and $2.2 billion notes (total proceeds of $10,673 million) along with a U.S. $500 million ($633 million) term loan to fund the cash consideration component of the KCS acquisition in 2021;

•principal repayments of $636 million (U.S. $500 million) on a term loan in 2022;

•principal repayments of $125 million of the Company's 5.100% 10-year Medium Term Notes, $313 million (U.S. $250 million) of the Company's 4.500% 10-year Notes at maturity in January 2022, and principal repayment of $97 million (U.S. $76 million) of the Company's 6.99% Finance lease at maturity in March 2022, compared to principal repayment of $312 million (U.S $250 million) of the Company's 9.450% notes in 2021; and

•increased dividend payments of $200 million in 2022 due to a higher number of shares outstanding resulting from shares issued to fund the share consideration component of the KCS acquisition at the end 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. The applicable margin that applies to outstanding loans under the Company’s revolving credit facility is based on the credit rating assigned to CP’s senior unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

If CP’s credit ratings were to decline to below investment-grade levels, the Company could experience a significant increase in its interest cost for new debt along with a negative effect on its ability to readily issue new debt.

Credit ratings and outlooks are based on the rating agencies’ methodologies and can change from time to time to reflect their views of the Company. 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 December 31, 2022, the Company'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. The following table shows the ratings issued for CP by the rating agencies noted herein as of December 31, 2022 and is being presented as it relates to the Company’s cost of funds and liquidity.

Credit ratings as at December 31, 2022(1)

Long-term debt		Outlook
Standard & Poor's	BBB+	stable
Moody's	Baa2	stable
Commercial paper program
Standard & Poor's	A-2	N/A

(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 was 5.6 in 2022, compared with 7.1 in 2021. This decrease was due to higher net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 and lower long-term debt.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 44

The Pro-forma Adjusted Net Debt to Pro-forma Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") ratio was 3.8 in 2022, compared with 4.0 in 2021. This decrease was primarily due to higher pro-forma adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, the Company added disclosure of Pro-forma Adjusted Net Debt to Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA Ratio to better align with the Company’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 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further discussion. Over the long term, the Company targets a Pro-forma Adjusted Net debt to Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.0 to 2.5.

Although the Company has provided a target Non-GAAP measure (Pro-forma Adjusted Net Debt to Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA ratio), management is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, the target Pro-forma Adjusted Net debt to Pro-forma 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, the Company has recognized acquisition-related costs, the merger termination payment received, KCS's gain on unwinding of interest rate hedges (net of CP's associated purchase accounting basis differences and tax), the 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 the Company's equity investment in KCS and its tax basis of the investment, changes in income tax rates, and changes 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 incurred by KCS which were recognized within Equity earnings of Kansas City Southern in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. 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 the Company’s Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, the U.S.-to-Canada dollar exchange rate is unpredictable and can have a significant impact on the Company’s reported results, but may, along with interest, taxes, and FX impact of translating the Company’s debt and lease liabilities, be excluded from Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA. Please see Forward-Looking Statements in this Item 7. 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 Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (“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-K, 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 annual report.

Share Capital

At February 23, 2023, the latest practicable date prior to the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, there were 930,767,959 Common Shares and no preferred shares issued and outstanding, which consisted of 14,837 holders of record of the Common Shares. In addition, the Company 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 further described in Item 1. Business, Business Developments 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 February 23, 2023, 7,708,866 options were outstanding under the MSOIP and stand-alone option agreements entered into with Mr. Keith Creel. There are 21,883,561 options available to be issued by the Company’s MSOIP in the future. The Company also 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, net of tax, as recognized within Equity (earnings) loss of Kansas City Southern in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. 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 discussed further in other sections of this Item 7. 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's 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, KCS's gain on unwinding of interest rate hedges (net of CP's associated purchase accounting basis differences and tax), as recognized within Equity (earnings) loss of Kansas City Southern in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income, the FX impact of translating the Company’s debt and lease liabilities (including borrowings under the credit facility), discrete tax

47 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

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, net of tax, which were recognized within Equity (earnings) loss of Kansas City Southern in the Company's 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 2022, there were five significant items included in Net income as follows:

•in the fourth quarter, a gain of $212 million due to KCS's gain on unwinding of interest rate hedges (net of CP's associated purchase accounting basis differences and tax) recognized in Equity earnings of KCS that favourably impacted Diluted EPS by 23 cents;

Adjusted Return on Invested Capital ("Adjusted ROIC")

Return on average shareholders' equity is calculated as Net income divided by average shareholders' equity, averaged between the beginning and ending balance over a trailing twelve month period. 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

51 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

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 is reconciled below from Return on average shareholders' equity, the most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

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, cash settlement of hedges settled upon issuance of debt, the operating cash flow impacts of acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS transaction including settlement of cash flow hedges upon debt issuance and FX gain on U.S. dollar-denominated cash held to fund the KCS acquisition, the merger termination payment received related to KCS's termination of the Original Merger Agreement, and the acquisitions of KCS, Central Maine & Québec Railway ("CMQ"), and Detroit River Tunnel Partnership ("DRTP"). 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, and is an important performance criteria in determining certain elements of the Company's long-term incentive plan. The cash settlement of forward starting swaps that occurred in conjunction with the issuance of long-term debt, the acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS acquisition, and the merger termination payment received related to KCS's termination of the Original Merger Agreement are not indicative of operating trends and have been excluded from Free cash. Similarly, the acquisitions of KCS, CMQ, and DRTP are not indicative of investment trends and have 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.

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.

Dividend Payout Ratio and Core Adjusted Dividend Payout Ratio

Dividend payout ratio is calculated as dividends declared per share divided by Diluted EPS. Core adjusted dividend payout ratio is calculated as dividends declared per share divided by Core adjusted diluted EPS, as defined above. This ratio is a measure of shareholder return and provides information on the Company's ability to declare dividends on an ongoing basis, excluding significant items and the impact of KCS purchase accounting.

Starting in 2022, Core adjusted dividend payout ratio is presented to provide users with additional transparency by isolating for the impact of KCS purchase accounting.

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, and is an important performance criteria in determining certain elements of the Company's long-term incentive plan. The Adjusted net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is reconciled below from the Long-term debt to Net income ratio, the most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

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

55 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

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 years ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were adjusted to Canadian dollars reflecting the FX rate for the appropriate period presented, respectively. The Pro-forma adjusted Net Debt to Pro-forma adjusted EBITDA ratio is discussed further in Liquidity and Capital Resources of this Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Calculation of Long-term Debt to Net Income Ratio

Long-term debt to Net income ratio is calculated as long-term debt, including long-term debt maturing within one year, divided by Net income.

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 (income). 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 the 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.

The development, selection and disclosure of these estimates, and this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, have been reviewed by the Board of Directors’ Audit and Finance Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors.

Environmental Liabilities

Environmental remediation accruals cover site-specific remediation programs. The Company's estimates of the probable costs to be incurred in the remediation of properties contaminated by past activities reflect the nature of contamination at individual sites according to typical activities and scale of operations conducted. The Company screens and classifies sites according to typical activities and scale of operations conducted. The Company has developed remediation strategies for each property based on the nature and extent of the contamination, as well as the location of the property and surrounding areas that may be adversely affected by the presence of contaminants. The Company also considers available technologies, treatment and disposal facilities and the acceptability of site-specific plans based on the local regulatory environment. Site-specific plans range from containment and risk management of the contaminants through to the removal and treatment of the contaminants and affected soils and groundwater. The details of the estimates reflect the environmental liability at each property. The Company is committed to fully meeting regulatory and legal obligations with respect to environmental matters.

Some sites include remediation activities that are projected beyond the 10-year period, which the Company is unable to reasonably estimate and determine. Therefore, the Company's accruals of the environmental liabilities are based on an estimate of costs for a rolling 10-year period covered by the environmental program. Payments are expected to be made over 10 years to 2032.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021 the Company's provision for specific environmental sites including discounting was $83 million and $79 million respectively.

Provisions for environmental remediation costs are recorded in “Other long-term liabilities” (refer to Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 17 Other long-term liabilities), except for the current portion which is recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” (refer to Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 14 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities). The accruals for environmental remediation represent the Company’s best estimate of its probable future obligations and include both asserted and unasserted claims, without reduction for anticipated recoveries from third parties. Although the recorded accruals include the Company’s best estimate of all probable costs, the Company’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, environmental laws and regulations evolve and advances are made in environmental remediation technology. The accruals may also vary as the courts decide legal proceedings against outside parties responsible for contamination. These potential charges, which cannot be quantified at this time, are not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position, but may materially affect income in the period in which a charge is recognized.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 58

The environmental liabilities are also sensitive to the increase in cost of materials which would be reflected as increases to "Other long-term liabilities" and "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and to "Purchased services and other" within Operating expenses on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company's cash payments for environmental initiatives were $10 million in 2021, $8 million in 2022 and are estimated to be approximately $12 million in 2023, $11 million in 2024, $10 million in 2025 and a total of approximately $53 million over the remaining years through 2032. All payments will be funded from general operations.

Pensions and Other Benefits

The Company has defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans. Other benefits include post-retirement medical and life insurance for pensioners, and some post-employment workers’ compensation and long-term disability benefits in Canada. Workers’ compensation and long-term disability benefits are discussed in the Personal Injury and Other Claims Liabilities section below.

The obligations and costs for pensions and other benefits are based on the discounted present value of future benefits. The underlying benefits are paid over many years and are estimated based on uncertain demographic and economic assumptions. As a result, the obligations and costs themselves involve a significant amount of estimation uncertainty.

Information concerning the measurement of obligations and costs for pensions and other benefits is discussed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies, and Note 21 Pensions and other benefits.

Net Periodic Benefit Costs

The Company estimates net periodic benefit recoveries for defined benefit pensions to be approximately $293 million in 2023 ($70 million in current service cost and $363 million in other components of net periodic benefit recovery), and net periodic benefit costs for defined contribution pensions to be approximately $13 million in 2023. Net periodic benefit costs for post-retirement benefits in 2023 are not expected to differ materially from the 2022 costs. Total net periodic benefit recoveries for all plans are estimated to be approximately $250 million in 2023 (2022 – $240 million), comprising $92 million (2022 – $171 million) in current service cost and $342 million (2022 – $411 million) in other components of net periodic benefit recovery.

Pension Plan Contributions

The Company estimates its aggregate pension contributions, including its defined benefit and defined contribution plans, to be in the range of $25 million to $35 million in 2023, and in the range of $25 million to $50 million per year from 2024 to 2026.

The Company’s main Canadian defined benefit pension plan accounts for nearly all of the Company’s pension obligation and can produce significant volatility in pension funding requirements, given the pension fund’s size, the many factors that drive the pension plan’s funded status, and Canadian statutory pension funding requirements. The Company made voluntary prepayments totaling $1,750 million between 2009 and 2011 to the Company’s main Canadian defined benefit pension plan. The Company has applied $1,324 million of these voluntary prepayments to reduce its pension funding requirements in 2012–2022, leaving $426 million of the voluntary prepayments still available at December 31, 2022, to reduce the Company’s pension funding requirements in 2023 and future years. The Company continues to have significant flexibility with respect to the rate at which the remaining voluntary prepayments are applied to reduce future years’ pension contribution requirements, which allows the Company to manage the volatility of future pension funding requirements. At this time, the Company estimates it will not apply any of the remaining voluntary prepayments against its 2023 pension funding requirements.

Future pension contributions will be highly dependent on the Company’s actual experience with respect to variables such as investment returns, interest rate fluctuations, and demographic changes, on the rate at which previous years’ voluntary prepayments are applied against pension contribution requirements, and on any changes in the regulatory environment. The Company will continue to make contributions to the pension plans that, at a minimum, meet pension legislative requirements.

Pension Plan Risks

Fluctuations in the obligations and net periodic benefit costs for pensions result from favourable or unfavourable investment returns, changes to the outlook for future investment returns, and changes in long-term interest rates. The impact of favourable or unfavourable investment returns is moderated by the use of a market-related asset value for the main Canadian defined benefit pension plan’s public equity securities and absolute return strategies. The impact of changes in long-term interest rates on pension obligations is partially offset by their impact on the pension plans’ investments in fixed income assets.

The plans’ investment policy provides a target allocation of approximately 45% of the plans’ assets to be invested in public equity securities. As a result, stock market performance is a key driver in determining the pension plans’ asset performance. If the rate of investment return on the plans’ public equity securities in 2022 had been 10% higher (or lower) than the actual 2022 rate of investment return on such securities, 2023 net periodic benefit costs for pensions would be lower (or higher) by approximately $21 million.

For computing the net periodic benefit recovery in 2023, the Company is continuing to use an expected rate of return on the market-related asset value of 6.90% to reflect the Company's current view of future long-term investment returns. Changes to the outlook for future long-term investment returns can result in changes to the expected rate of return on the market-related asset value. If the expected rate of return as at December 31, 2022 had been higher (or lower) by 0.1%, 2023 net periodic benefit recoveries for pensions would be higher (or lower) by approximately $13 million.

Changes in bond yields can result in changes to discount rates and to the value of fixed income assets. If the discount rate as at December 31, 2022 had been higher (or lower) by 0.1% with no related changes in the value of the pension plans’ investments in fixed income assets, 2023 net periodic benefit recoveries for pensions would be higher (or lower) by approximately $8 million and 2023 current service costs for pensions would be lower (or higher) by approximately $3 million. However, a change in bond yields would also lead to a change in the value of the pension funds’ investments in fixed income assets, and this change would partially offset the impact on net periodic benefit costs noted above.

The Company estimates that an increase in the discount rate of 0.1% would decrease the defined benefit pension plans’ projected benefit obligations by approximately $112 million, and that a decrease in the discount rate of 0.1% would increase the defined benefit pension plans’ projected benefit obligations by approximately $115 million. Similarly, for every 0.1% that the actual return on assets varies above (or below) the estimated return for the year, the value of the defined benefit pension plans’ assets would increase (or decrease) by approximately $13 million.

Adverse experience with respect to these factors could eventually increase funding and pension expense significantly, while favourable experience with respect to these factors could eventually decrease funding and pension expense significantly.

Fluctuations in the post-retirement benefit obligation also can result from changes in the discount rate used. A 0.1% increase (decrease) in the discount rate would decrease (increase) the obligation by approximately $3 million.

The Company reviews its pensioner mortality experience to ensure that the mortality assumption continues to be appropriate, or to determine what changes to the assumption are needed.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company follows the group depreciation method under which a single depreciation rate is applied to the total cost in a particular class of property, despite differences in the service life or salvage value of individual properties within the same class. The Company performs depreciation studies of each property asset class approximately every three years to update depreciation rates. The studies are conducted with assistance from third-party specialists and analyzed and reviewed by the Company's management. Depreciation studies for U.S. assets are reviewed and approved by the STB. Depreciation studies for Canadian assets are provided to the Canadian Transportation Agency (the "Agency"), but the Agency does not approve depreciation rates. In determining appropriate depreciation rates, management is required to make judgments and assumptions about a variety of key factors that are subject to future variability due to inherent uncertainties. These include the following:

Key Assumptions	Assessments
•Whole and remaining asset lives	•Statistical analysis of historical retirement patterns; •Evaluation of management strategy and its impact on operations and the future use of specific property assets; •Assessment of technological advances; •Engineering estimates of changes in current operations and analysis of historic, current, and projected future usage; •Additional factors considered for track assets: density of traffic and whether rail is new or has been re-laid in a subsequent position; •Assessment of policies and practices for the management of assets including maintenance; and •Comparison with industry data.
•Salvage values	•Analysis of historical, current, and estimated future salvage values.

The estimates of economic lives are uncertain and can vary due to changes in any of the assessed factors noted in the table above for whole and remaining asset lives. Additionally, the depreciation rates are updated to reflect the change in residual values of the assets in the class.

It is anticipated that there will be changes in the estimates of weighted-average useful lives and net salvage for each property asset class as assets are acquired, used, and retired. Substantial changes in either the useful lives of properties or the salvage assumptions could result in significant changes to depreciation expense. For example, if the estimated average life of track assets, including rail, ties, ballast, and other track material, increased (or decreased) by one year, annual depreciation expense would decrease (or increase) by approximately $19 million.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 60

Due to the capital intensive nature of the railway industry, depreciation represents a significant part of operating expenses. The estimated useful lives of properties have a direct impact on the amount of depreciation recorded as a component of "Properties" on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Deferred Income Taxes

The Company accounts for deferred income taxes based on the liability method. This method focuses on the Company’s balance sheet and the temporary differences otherwise calculated from the comparison of book versus tax values. The provision for deferred income taxes arises from temporary differences in the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes and the effect of loss carryforwards. The provision amount is sensitive to any changes in book and tax values and changes to statutory tax rates. For example, a change in temporary differences of $10 million would result in an approximate deferred income tax change of $3 million. It is assumed that such temporary differences will be settled in the deferred income tax assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.

In determining deferred income taxes, the Company makes estimates and assumptions regarding deferred tax matters, including estimating the timing of the realization and settlement of deferred income tax assets (including the benefit of tax losses) and liabilities, and estimating unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions. Deferred income taxes are calculated using enacted federal, provincial, and state future income tax rates, which may differ in future periods.

Deferred income tax expense is included in "Income tax expense" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, deferred income tax expense was $136 million and $242 million, respectively. Management does anticipate the total net deferred tax liabilities will change significantly within the next 12 months as a result of the pending business combination with KCS, subject to STB approval. A future fair value remeasurement of the carrying value of the Company's investment in KCS would result in a change in the deferred tax liability recognized in the Company’s income statement. Upon the Company obtaining control, the entire deferred tax liability of $7.5 billion at December 31, 2022, reflecting the outside basis of the investment in KCS, would be reversed through deferred tax expense in the Company’s income statement. Under a business combination, the Company would allocate the purchase price to the individual assets and liabilities assumed, and goodwill would be recognized. A deferred tax liability would be recognized on an inside basis based on the liability method described above with a resultant offsetting increase in goodwill. Additional disclosures are provided in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 5 Income taxes.

Personal Injury and Other Claims Liabilities

The Company estimates the potential liability arising from incidents, claims and pending litigations relating to personal injury claims by employees, third-party claims, certain occupation-related claims, and property damage claims.

Personal Injury

In Canada, employee occupational injuries are governed by provincial workers' compensation legislation. Occupational injury claims in the provinces of Québec, Ontario, Manitoba, and B.C. are self-insured and administered through each Worker's Compensation Board ("WCB"). The future costs related to occupation-related injuries are actuarially determined based on past experience and assumptions associated with the injury, compensation, income replacement, health care, and administrative costs. In the four provinces where the Company is self-insured, a discount rate is applied to the future estimated costs based on market rates for investment-grade corporate bonds to determine the liability. An actuarial study is performed on an annual basis. In the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, the Company is assessed an annual WCB contribution on a premium basis and this amount is not subject to estimation by management. Changes to these assumptions could have a material adverse impact to the Company's results of operations, financial position and liquidity. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the WCB liability was $74 million and $77 million in "Pension and other benefit liabilities"; $11 million and $11 million in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities", offset by deposits paid to WCB of $1 million and $1 million in "Other assets" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fluctuations in WCB can result from changes in the discount rate used. A 0.1% increase (decrease) in the discount rate would decrease (increase) the obligation by approximately $1 million.

U.S. railway employees are covered by federal law under the Federal Employers' Liability Act ("FELA") rather than workers' compensation programs. Accruals are set for individual cases based on facts, legal opinion and statistical analysis. U.S. accruals are also set and include alleged occupational exposure or injury.

Other Claims

A provision for litigation matters, equipment damages or other claims will be accrued according to applicable accounting standards and any such accrual will be based on an ongoing assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the litigation or claim and its likelihood of success, together with an evaluation of the damages or other monetary relief sought. The Company accrues for probable claims when the facts of an incident become known and investigation results provide a reasonable basis for estimating the liability. The lower end of the range is accrued if the facts and circumstances permit only a range of reasonable estimates and no single amount in that range is a better estimate than any other. Facts and circumstances related to asserted claims can change, and a process is in place to monitor accruals for changes in accounting estimates. The final outcome with respect to actions

61 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

outstanding or pending at December 31, 2022, or with respect to future claims cannot be predicted with certainty. Material changes to litigation trends, equipment damages, or other claims could have a material adverse impact to the Company's results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Annual Report on Form 10-K 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 the Company 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes forward-looking statements relating, but not limited to statements concerning the Company’s defined benefit pension expectations for 2023 and through 2026, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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: 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 the Company; 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

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 62

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These more specific factors are identified and discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors. Other risks are detailed from time to time in reports filed by the Company 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K are made as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company 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 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Information concerning market risk sensitive instruments is set forth under Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Impact of Foreign Exchange on Earnings and Foreign Exchange Risk and Impact of Changes in Share Price on Earnings and Stock-Based Compensation.

Interest Rate Risk

Debt financing forms part of the Company's capital structure. The debt agreements entered into expose the Company to increased interest costs on future fixed debt instruments and existing variable rate debt instruments, should market rates increase. As at December 31, 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, the Company may enter into forward rate agreements such as treasury rate locks or bond forwards that lock in rates for a future date, thereby protecting against interest rate increases. The Company 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 December 31, 2022, would result in an increase of approximately $1.5 billion to the fair value of the Company's debt as at December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - approximately $2.3 billion). Fair values of the Company’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 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 16 Financial instruments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Canadian Pacific Railway Limited

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Canadian Pacific Railway Limited and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows, for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission framework (2013) and our report dated February 24, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit and Finance Committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Description of the Matter

At December 31, 2022, the projected benefit obligation of the Company's defined benefit pension plans was $9,936 million, of which the Canadian pension plans represent nearly all the combined pension obligations. As explained in Notes 1 and 21 to the consolidated financial statements, the discount rate used to determine the projected benefit obligation is based on blended market interest rates on high-quality debt instruments with matching cash flows.

Auditing the Canadian projected benefit obligation was complex and required the involvement of specialists due to the magnitude of the projected benefit obligation and judgement applied related to the discount rate used in the measurement process.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

To test the discount rate for the Canadian projected benefit obligation, our audit procedure included, among others, testing the Company’s internal controls over the assumptions and data used in the determination of the discount rate.

We assessed the competence and objectivity of the qualified actuary engaged by the Company to value the Canadian projected benefit obligation under ASC 715 ‘Compensation Retirement Benefits’.

We involved an actuarial specialist to assist with our procedures. We evaluated management’s methodology and actuarial assumptions with respect to the determination of the discount rate for the Canadian plans in accordance with actuarial principles and practices under Canadian actuarial standards of practice. We developed an independent estimate of the expected duration of the Canadian plans’ projected benefit cash flows and used other common

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 66

methodologies to determine the discount rate for the Canadian plans, at the current measurement date, that reflects the maturity and duration of the Canadian expected benefit payments and compared those to the discount rate for the Canadian plans selected by management.

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY LIMITED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2022

Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (“CPRL”), through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “CP” or “the Company”), operates a transcontinental railway in Canada and the United States ("U.S."). The Company provides rail and intermodal transportation services over a network of approximately 13,000 miles, serving the principal business centres of Canada from Montréal, Québec, to Vancouver, British Columbia, and the U.S. Northeast and Midwest regions. The Company’s railway network feeds directly into the U.S. heartland from the East and West coasts. Agreements with other carriers extend the Company’s market reach in Canada, throughout the U.S. and into Mexico. The Company transports bulk commodities, merchandise freight and intermodal traffic. Bulk commodities include grain, coal, fertilizers and sulphur. Merchandise freight consists of finished vehicles and automotive parts, as well as forest, industrial and consumer products. Intermodal traffic consists largely of retail goods in overseas containers that can be transported by train, ship and truck, and in domestic containers and trailers that can be moved by train and truck.

1.    Summary of significant accounting policies

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)

These Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in Canadian dollars and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Principles of consolidation

These Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company. The Company’s investments in which it has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Distributions received from equity method investees are classified using the nature of the distribution approach for cash flow presentation purposes, whereby distributions received are classified based on the nature of the activity or activities of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment (classified as a cash inflow from operating activities) or a return of investment (classified as a cash inflow from investing activities). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Common stock split

On April 21, 2021, the Company's shareholders approved a five-for-one stock split to shareholders of record as of May 5, 2021. Proportional adjustments were made to all outstanding awards under the Company's stock-based compensation plans in order to reflect the share split. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the stock split.

Use of estimates

The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Management regularly reviews its estimates, including those related to environmental liabilities, pensions and other benefits, depreciable lives of properties, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as well as legal and personal injury liabilities based upon currently available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of promised services is transferred to the customer and obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for providing services. Government imposed taxes that the Company collects concurrent with revenue-generating activities are excluded from revenue. In the normal course of business, the Company does not generate any material revenue through acting as an agent for other entities.

The Company provides rail freight transportation services to a wide variety of customers and transports bulk commodities, merchandise freight and intermodal traffic. The Company signs master service agreements with customers that dictate future services the Company is to perform for a customer at the time a bill of lading or service request is received. Each bill of lading or service request represents a separate distinct performance obligation that the Company is obligated to satisfy. The transaction price is generally in the form of a fixed fee determined at the inception of the bill of lading or service request. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the estimated standalone selling price for each performance obligation. As each bill of lading or service request represents a separate distinct performance obligation, the estimated standalone selling price is assessed at an observable price which is fair market value. Certain customer agreements include variable consideration in the form of rebates, discounts, or incentives. The expected value method is used to estimate variable consideration and is allocated to the applicable performance obligation and is recognized when the related performance obligation is satisfied. Additionally, the Company offers published rates for services through public tariff agreements in which a customer can request service, triggering a performance obligation the Company must satisfy. Railway freight revenues are recognized over time as services are provided based on the percentage of completed service method. Volume rebates to customers are accrued as a

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 74

reduction of freight revenues based on estimated volumes and contract terms as freight service is provided. Freight revenues also include certain ancillary and other services provided in association with the performance of rail freight movements. Revenues from these activities are not material and therefore have been aggregated with the freight revenues from customer contracts with which they are associated.

Non-freight revenues, including revenues earned from passenger service operators, switching fees, and revenues from logistics services, are recognized at the point in time the services are provided or over time as the customer obtains control when the performance obligations are satisfied. Non-freight revenues also include leasing revenues.

Payment by customers is due upon satisfaction of performance obligations. Payment terms are such that amounts outstanding at the period end are expected to be collected within one reporting period. The Company invoices customers at the time the bill of lading or service request is processed and therefore the Company has no material unbilled receivables and no contract assets. All performance obligations not fully satisfied at period end are expected to be satisfied within the reporting period immediately following. Contracted customer incentives are amortized to income over the term of the related revenue contract.

Income taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period during which the change occurs.

When appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to reflect that these tax assets may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on management’s judgment using available evidence about future events.

At times, tax benefit claims may be challenged by a tax authority. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not sustainable upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.

Investment and other similar tax credits are deferred on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized to “Income tax expense” as the related asset is recognized in income. Income tax recovery or expense on items in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" are recognized in "Income tax expense" as the related item is recognized in income.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted-average number of the Company's Common Shares ("Common Shares") outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury stock method for determining the dilutive effect of options.

Foreign currency translation

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, other than those held through foreign subsidiaries, are translated into Canadian dollars at the year-end exchange rate for monetary items and at the historical exchange rates for non-monetary items. Foreign currency revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the dates of the related transactions. Foreign exchange ("FX") gains and losses, other than those arising from the translation of the Company’s net investment in foreign subsidiaries, are included in income.

The accounts of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and foreign equity method investees are translated into Canadian dollars using the year-end exchange rate for assets and liabilities and the average exchange rates during the year for revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. FX gains and losses arising from the translation of the foreign subsidiaries’ and foreign equity method investees' assets and liabilities are included in “Other comprehensive income (loss)”. Debt instruments and finance lease obligations ("long-term debt") and operating lease liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars have been designated as a hedge of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries and foreign equity method investees. As a result, unrealized FX gains and losses on U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt and operating lease liabilities, designated as a hedge, are offset against FX gains and losses arising from the translation of foreign subsidiaries’ and foreign equity method investees' accounts in “Other comprehensive income (loss)”.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid short-term investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less, but excludes cash and cash equivalents subject to restrictions.

75 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Restricted cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage, in accordance with specific agreements, are presented as restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets when applicable. In the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, these balances, if any, are included with cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable from customers are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less allowance for expected credit losses. Losses on accounts receivable are estimated based on historical credit loss experience of receivables with similar risk characteristics. Historical loss experience is adjusted to reflect any management expectations that current or future conditions will differ from conditions that existed for the period over which historical information is evaluated.

To determine expected credit losses, receivables are disaggregated by credit characteristics, type of customer service, customer line of business, and receivable aging. Receivables are considered to be in default and are written off against the allowance for credit losses when it is probable that all remaining contractual payments due will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the customer contracts. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to earnings in the period recovered.

Materials and supplies

Materials and supplies are carried at the lower of average cost or market value and consist primarily of fuel and parts used in the repair and maintenance of track structures, equipment, locomotives and freight cars.

Properties

Fixed asset additions and major renewals are recorded at cost, including direct costs, attributable indirect costs and carrying costs, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. When there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of property, a liability, when reliably estimable, is initially recognized at its fair value and a corresponding asset retirement cost is added to the gross book value of the related asset and amortized to expense over the estimated term to retirement. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its properties whenever changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable based on future undiscounted cash flows. When such properties are determined to be impaired, recorded asset values are revised to their fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.

The Company recognizes expenditures as additions to properties or operating expenses based on whether the expenditures increase the output or service capacity, lower the associated operating costs or extend the useful life of the properties and whether the expenditures exceed minimum physical and financial thresholds.

Much of the additions to properties, both new and replacement properties, are self-constructed. These are initially recorded at cost, including direct costs and attributable indirect costs, overheads and carrying costs. Direct costs include, among other things, labour costs, purchased services, equipment costs, material costs, project supervision costs, and fringe benefits. Attributable indirect costs and overheads include incremental long-term variable costs resulting from the execution of capital projects. Indirect costs mainly include work trains, material distribution, highway vehicles, and work equipment. Overheads primarily include a portion of the engineering department’s costs, which plans, designs, and administers these capital projects. These costs are allocated to projects by applying a measure consistent with the nature of the cost, based on cost studies. For replacement properties, the project costs are allocated to dismantling and installation based on cost studies. Dismantling work, which is expensed, is performed concurrently with the installation.

Ballast programs including undercutting, shoulder ballasting and renewal programs that form part of the annual track program are capitalized as this work, and the related added ballast material, significantly improves drainage, which in turn extends the life of ties and other track materials. These costs are tracked separately from the underlying assets and depreciated over the period to the next estimated similar ballast program. Spot replacement of ballast is considered a repair, which is expensed as incurred.

The costs of large refurbishments are capitalized and locomotive overhauls are expensed as incurred, except where overhauls represent a betterment of the locomotive in which case costs are capitalized.

The Company capitalizes development costs for major new computer systems.

The Company follows group depreciation, which groups assets that are similar in nature and have similar economic lives. The property groups are depreciated on a straight-line basis reflecting their expected economic lives determined by depreciation studies. Depreciation studies are regular reviews of asset service lives, salvage values, accumulated depreciation, and other related factors. Depreciation rates are established through these studies. Actual use and retirement of assets may vary from current estimates, and would be identified in the next study. These changes in expected economic lives would impact the amount of depreciation expense recognized in future periods. All track assets are depreciated using a straight-line method, which recognizes the value of the asset consumed as a percentage of the whole life of the asset.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 76

When depreciable property is retired or otherwise disposed of in the normal course of business, the book value, less net salvage proceeds, is charged to accumulated depreciation and if different than the assumptions under the depreciation study could potentially result in adjusted depreciation expense over a period of years. However, when removal costs exceed the salvage value on assets and the Company has no legal obligation to remove the assets, the removal costs incurred are charged to income in the period in which the assets are removed and are not charged to accumulated depreciation.

For certain asset classes, the historical cost of the asset is separately recorded in the Company’s property records. This amount is retired from the property records upon retirement of the asset. For assets for which the historical cost cannot be separately identified the amount of the gross book value to be retired is estimated using either an indexation methodology, whereby the current replacement cost of the asset is indexed to the estimated year of installation for the asset, or a first-in, first-out approach, or statistical analysis is used to determine the age of the retired asset. The Company uses indices that closely correlate to the principal costs of the assets.

There are a number of estimates inherent in the depreciation and retirement processes and as it is not possible to precisely estimate each of these variables until a group of property is completely retired, the Company regularly monitors the estimated service lives of assets and the associated accumulated depreciation for each asset class to ensure depreciation rates are appropriate. If the recorded amounts of accumulated depreciation are greater or less than the amounts indicated by the depreciation studies, then the excess or deficit is amortized as a component of depreciation expense over the remaining service lives of the applicable asset classes.

For the sale or retirement of larger groups of depreciable assets that are unusual and were not considered in the Company’s depreciation studies, the Company records a gain or loss for the difference between net proceeds and net book value of the assets sold or retired. The accumulated depreciation to be retired includes asset-specific accumulated depreciation, when known, and an appropriate portion of the accumulated depreciation recorded for the relevant asset class as a whole, calculated using a cost-based allocation.

Revisions to the estimated useful lives and net salvage projections constitute a change in accounting estimate and are addressed prospectively by amending depreciation rates.

Equipment under finance lease is included in Properties and depreciated over the period of expected use.

Leases

The Company has leases for rolling stock, buildings, vehicles, railway equipment, roadway machines, and information systems hardware. The Company has entered into rolling stock and roadway machine leases that are fully variable or contain both fixed and variable components. Variable components are dependent on the hours and miles that the underlying equipment has been used. Fixed-term, short-term, and variable operating lease costs are recorded in "Equipment rents" and "Purchased services and other" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Components of finance lease costs are recorded in "Depreciation and amortization" and "Net interest expense" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company determines lease existence and classification at the lease inception date. Leases are identified when an agreement conveys the right to control identified property for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company recognizes both an operating lease liability and right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for operating leases with fixed terms and in-substance fixed terms. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments include fixed and variable payments that are based on an index or a rate. If the Company's leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate, the Company uses internal incremental secured borrowing rates for comparable tenor in the same currency at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating and finance lease ROU assets also include lease prepayments and initial direct costs, but are reduced by lease incentives. The lease term may include periods associated with options to extend or exclude periods associated with options to terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise these options.

The Company has short-term operating leases with terms of 12 months or less, some of which include options to purchase that the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise. The Company has elected to apply the recognition exemption and, as such, accounts for leases with a term of 12 months or less off-balance sheet. Therefore, lease payments on these short-term operating leases are not included in operating lease ROU assets and liabilities, but are recognized as an expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Further, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all leases, except for leases of roadway machines and information systems hardware.

Assets held for sale

Assets to be disposed that meet the held for sale criteria are reported in "Other assets" at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value, less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. This classification is applied at the date at which applicable criteria for recognition are met.

77 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

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, the Company records government assistance from various levels of the 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 the Company should purchase, construct, or otherwise acquire property, plant, and equipment. Under certain government assistance arrangements, there is a secondary condition that requires the Company 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 the Company's intention to comply with all conditions imposed by the terms of the government assistance. Government assistance received or receivable related to the Company's property assets is deducted from the cost of the assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within "Properties" and amortized over the same period as the related assets in "Depreciation and amortization" in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated at the date of the business combination to the reporting unit that is expected to benefit from the business acquisition which, after integration of operations with the railway network, may be different than the acquired business.

The carrying value of goodwill, which is not amortized, is assessed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year as at October 1, or more frequently as economic events dictate. The Company has the option of performing an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value or proceeding directly to a quantitative impairment test. Qualitative factors include but are not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and events such as notable changes in management or customers. If the assessment of qualitative factors indicates that the carrying value is less than the fair value, then performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. The quantitative assessment compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, goodwill is impaired. The impairment charge that would be recognized is the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the reporting unit, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

The Company defines the fair value of a reporting unit as the price expected to be received to sell the entire reporting unit in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the impairment date. In order to determine the fair value of a reporting unit, the Company uses the discounted cash flow method with a pre-tax discount rate, reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset(s).

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Favourable leases, customer relationships, and interline contracts have amortization periods up to 20 years. When there is a change in the estimated useful life of an intangible asset with a finite life, amortization is adjusted prospectively.

The Company tests the recoverability of its intangible assets whenever future undiscounted cash flows indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and fair value.

Pensions and other benefits

Pension costs are actuarially determined using the projected benefit method pro-rated over the credited service periods of employees. This method incorporates management’s best estimates of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, and retirement ages of employees. The expected return on plan assets is calculated using market-related asset values developed from a five-year average of market values for the fund’s public equity securities and absolute return strategies (with each prior year’s market value adjusted to the current date for assumed investment income during the intervening period) plus the market value of the fund’s fixed income, real estate, infrastructure, and private debt securities, subject to the market-related asset value not being greater than 120% of the market value nor being less than 80% of the market value. The discount rate used to determine the projected benefit obligation is based on blended market interest rates on high-quality debt instruments with matching cash flows. Unrecognized actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and the market-related value of plan assets are amortized over the expected average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan (approximately 13 years). Prior service costs arising from collectively bargained amendments to pension plan benefit provisions are amortized over the term of the applicable union agreement. Prior service costs arising from all other sources are amortized over the expected average remaining service period of active employees who are expected to receive benefits under the plan at the date of amendment.

Costs for post-retirement and post-employment benefits other than pensions, including post-retirement health care and life insurance and some workers’ compensation and long-term disability benefits in Canada, are actuarially determined on a basis similar to pension costs.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 78

The over or under funded status of defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans are measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation, and are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, any unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs that arise during the period are recognized as a component of “Other comprehensive income (loss)”, net of tax.

Gains and losses on post-employment benefits that do not vest or accumulate, including some workers’ compensation and long-term disability benefits in Canada, are included immediately on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income as "Other components of net periodic benefit recovery".

The current service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is reported in "Compensation and benefits" for pensions and post-retirement benefits, and in "Purchased services and other" for self-insured workers' compensation and long-term disability benefits on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Other components of net periodic benefit cost or recovery are reported in "Other components of net periodic benefit recovery" outside of Operating income on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

Capitalization of pension costs, when applicable, is restricted to the current service cost component of net periodic benefit cost.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are contracts that give rise to a financial asset of one party and a financial liability or equity instrument of another party. Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value, which is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s-length transaction between willing parties.

Subsequent measurement depends on how the financial instruments have been classified. Accounts receivable and other investments, classified as loans and receivables, are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method. Cash and cash equivalents and derivatives are classified as held for trading and are measured at fair value. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term borrowings, other long-term liabilities, and long-term debt are also measured at amortized cost.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial and commodity instruments may be used from time to time by the Company to manage its exposure to risks relating to foreign currency exchange rates, stock-based compensation, interest rates, and fuel prices. When the Company utilizes derivative instruments in hedging relationships, the Company identifies, designates, and documents those hedging transactions and regularly tests the transactions to demonstrate effectiveness in order to continue hedge accounting.

All derivative instruments are classified as held for trading and recorded at fair value. Any change in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges is recognized in the period in which the change occurs in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income in the line item to which the derivative instrument is related.

For fair value hedges, the periodic changes in value are recognized in income, on the same line as the changes in value of the hedged items are also recorded. For designated cash flow hedges, the changes in value of the hedging instrument is recognized in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” and remains in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” until the related hedged item settles, at which time amounts recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” are reclassified to the same income or balance sheet account that records the hedged item. The changes in value of the hedging instrument is recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income if derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are subsequently de-designated.

Cash flows relating to derivative instruments designated as hedges are included in the same category as the related hedged items on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Environmental remediation

Environmental remediation accruals, recorded on an undiscounted basis unless a reliably determinable estimate as to amount and timing of costs can be established, cover site-specific remediation programs. The accruals are recorded when the costs to remediate are probable and reasonably estimable. Certain future costs to monitor sites are discounted at an adjusted risk-free rate. Provisions for environmental remediation costs are recorded in “Other long-term liabilities”, except for the current portion, which is recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”.

Stock-based compensation

The Company follows the fair value based approach to account for stock options. Compensation expense and an increase in “Additional paid-in capital” are recognized for stock options over their vesting period or over the period from the grant date to the date employees become eligible to retire, when this is shorter than the vesting period, based on their fair values on the grant date as determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Forfeitures are estimated at issuance and monitored on a periodic basis. Any consideration paid by employees on exercise of stock options is credited to “Share capital” when the option is exercised and the recorded fair value of the option is removed from “Additional paid-in capital" and credited to “Share capital”.

79 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Compensation expense is also recognized for performance share units (“PSUs”), performance deferred share units ("PDSUs"), deferred share units ("DSUs"), and restricted share units (“RSUs”) that settle in cash using the fair value method. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period or over the period from the grant date to the date employees become eligible to retire, when this is shorter than the vesting period where applicable. Forfeitures are estimated at issuance and monitored on a periodic basis.

The employee share purchase plan gives rise to compensation expense that is recognized using the issue price by amortizing the cost over the vesting period.

2.    Accounting changes

Implemented in 2022

Government Assistance

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the new 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 1 and Note 12 for further discussion on government assistance.

All other accounting pronouncements that became effective during the period covered by the 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 plans to adopt this update from January 1, 2023, with anticipation that upon obtaining effective control of Kansas City Southern ("KCS") following approval by the Surface Transportation Board ("STB"), any contract assets and liabilities of KCS will be recorded in the purchase price allocation in compliance with the update.

All other recently issued accounting pronouncements have been assessed and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate differs from the expected Canadian statutory tax rates. Expected income tax expense at statutory rates is reconciled to income tax expense as follows:

In 2022, the Company recorded a deferred tax recovery of $19 million (U.S. $15 million) on the outside basis difference of the change in the equity investment in KCS from December 31, 2021. The outside basis difference is the excess of the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in KCS for financial reporting over the tax basis of this investment. Reversal of this deferred tax liability is expected to be recognized through income tax expense.

In 2022, the Company revalued its deferred income tax balances as a result of a corporate income tax rate decrease in the state of Iowa, resulting in a net recovery of $12 million.

83 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

In 2021, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $7.2 billion (U.S. $5.6 billion) on the outside basis difference of its investment in KCS. This balance is held in a U.S. functional currency entity and subsequently revalued to $7.5 billion at December 31, 2022 ($7.1 billion at December 31, 2021) due to changes in FX.

In 2021, the Company recorded a deferred tax recovery of $33 million (U.S. $26 million) on the outside basis difference of the change in the equity investment in KCS from initial recognition on December 14, 2021.

In 2020, the Company revalued its deferred income tax balances as a result of a tax filing election for the state of North Dakota resulting in a lower corporate income tax rate and a net recovery of $29 million.

With the exception of the deferred tax liability recorded on the outside basis difference of its investment in KCS, the Company has not provided a deferred liability for the income taxes, if any, which might become payable on any temporary difference associated with its foreign investments because the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest in its foreign investments and has no intention to realize this difference by a sale of its interest in foreign investments. It is not practical to calculate the amount of the deferred tax liability.

It is more likely than not that the Company will realize the majority of its deferred income tax assets from the generation of future taxable income, as the payments for provisions, reserves, and accruals are made and losses and tax credits carried forward are utilized.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company had tax effected operating losses carried forward of $22 million (2021 – $15 million), which have been recognized as a deferred tax asset. The losses carried forward will begin to expire in 2034. The Company expects to fully utilize these tax effected operating losses before their expiry. The Company did not have any minimum tax credits or investment tax credits carried forward.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company had $2 million (2021 – $2 million) in tax effected capital losses carried forward recognized as a deferred tax asset. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits from capital losses as at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The following table provides a reconciliation of uncertain tax positions in relation to unrecognized tax benefits for Canada and the U.S. for the year ended December 31:

(in millions of Canadian dollars)	2022		2021		2020
Unrecognized tax benefits at January 1	$	49	$	55	$	52
Increase in unrecognized:
Tax benefits related to the current year	1		—		—
Tax benefits related to prior years	—		—		10
Dispositions:
Gross uncertain tax benefits related to prior years	(30)		(6)		(9)
Settlements with taxing authorities	—		—		2
Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31	$	20	$	49	$	55

If these uncertain tax positions were recognized, all of the amount of unrecognized tax positions as at December 31, 2022 would impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, a tax authority proposed an adjustment for a prior tax year without assessing taxes. Although the Company had commenced action to have the proposal removed, an increase in uncertain tax position was recorded on deferred income tax liability and expense in the amount of $24 million. While the proposed adjustment was withdrawn during 2020, the ultimate resolution of this matter was not previously determinable. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a deferred tax recovery of $24 million to reverse this uncertain tax position as the amount is no longer expected to be realized.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of "Income tax expense" in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The net amount of accrued interest and penalties in 2022 was a $5 million expense (2021 – $4 million expense; 2020 – $1 million recovery). The total amount of accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as at December 31, 2022 was $18 million (2021 – $13 million; 2020 – $9 million).

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to either Canadian federal and provincial income tax, U.S. federal, state and local income tax, or the relevant income tax in other international jurisdictions. The Company has substantially concluded all Canadian federal and provincial income tax matters for the

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 84

years through 2017. The federal and provincial income tax returns filed for 2018 and subsequent years remain subject to examination by the Canadian taxation authorities. The Canadian international audit for 2014 and subsequent years is ongoing. The income tax returns for 2019 and subsequent years continue to remain subject to examination by the IRS and U.S. state tax jurisdictions. The Company believes that it has recorded sufficient income tax reserves as at December 31, 2022, with respect to these income tax examinations.

Fair value was determined based on comparable market transactions. The Company recorded a gain within "Purchased services and other" of $50 million ($38 million after tax) from the transaction, and a deferred gain of $53 million, which is being recognized in income over the period of use of certain easements. The Company recognized $14 million of the deferred gain into income in 2022 (2021 – $13 million).

10.    Business acquisitions

KCS

On March 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Original Merger Agreement") with KCS, under which CP agreed to acquire KCS in a stock and cash transaction. KCS is a U.S. Class I railway with approximately 7,100 route miles extending from the midwest and southeast portions of the United States south into Mexico and connects with all Class I railways. KCS is connected to the CP network at Kansas City.

On May 21, 2021, KCS terminated the Original Merger Agreement in order to enter into a merger agreement with Canadian National Railway Company ("CN") (the "CN Merger Agreement"). As a result, and under the terms of the Original Merger Agreement, KCS concurrently paid a merger termination fee of $845 million (U.S. $700 million) to the Company, recorded as "Merger termination fee" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

On August 10, 2021, CP submitted a proposal to acquire KCS in a stock and cash transaction representing an enterprise value of approximately U.S. $31 billion, based on the CP closing price on August 9, 2021, which included the assumption of U.S. $3.8 billion of outstanding KCS debt. The terms of the proposal were very similar in nearly every respect to those in the Original Merger Agreement, except for an increase in the share exchange ratio from 2.445 to 2.884. Following the Surface Transportation Board's ("STB") decision on August 31, 2021 to refuse CN and KCS's joint motion for voting trust approval in respect of the CN Merger Agreement, and after renewed negotiations with CP, KCS's Board of Directors deemed CP's proposal a "Company Superior Proposal", as defined in the CN Merger Agreement, and terminated the CN Merger Agreement.

87 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

On September 15, 2021, upon KCS's termination of the CN Merger Agreement, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with KCS. Pursuant to the terms of the CN Merger Agreement, KCS paid a merger termination fee of U.S. $700 million and refunded the CP merger termination fee of U.S. $700 million to CN (together, the "CN merger termination fees"). 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, included as part of the cost of the acquisition of KCS within "Investment in Kansas City Southern" in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. This payment is included in "Investment in Kansas City Southern" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

On December 14, 2021, following approval of the transaction by the shareholders of both the Company and KCS, receipt of Mexican regulatory approvals, satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions and pursuant to the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, the acquisition of KCS was consummated and all outstanding stock of KCS was deposited into a voting trust and held by a single trustee as trust stock. 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. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued approximately 262.6 million Common Shares to existing KCS common stockholders at the exchange ratio of 2.884 Common Shares per share of KCS common stock (valued at $23.5 billion (U.S. $18.3 billion)) and paid cash consideration to existing KCS stockholders of U.S. $90 per share of KCS common stock and U.S. $37.50 per share of KCS preferred stock for a total of approximately $10.5 billion (U.S. $8.2 billion). Share consideration, cash consideration, and the above described payments to KCS totalled approximately $36 billion (U.S. $28 billion). The cash consideration paid was financed by issuances of long-term debt of approximately $2.2 billion and $8.6 billion (U.S. $6.7 billion) on November 24, 2021 and December 2, 2021, respectively (see Note 15).

The Company accounts for its investment in KCS using the equity method of accounting while the STB considers the Company's application to control KCS. The investment in KCS of $45,091 million as at December 31, 2022, included $1,074 million of equity earnings of KCS and foreign currency translation of $2,891 million offset by dividends of $1,157 million received in the year ended December 31, 2022. Included within the $1,074 million of equity earnings of KCS recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022, was amortization (net of tax) of $163 million of basis differences (see Note 11). These basis differences relate to depreciable property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with definite lives, and long-term debt, and are amortized over the related assets' remaining useful lives, and the remaining terms to maturity of the debt instruments.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred $74 million in acquisition-related costs, recorded within "Purchased services and other" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs of $49 million, incurred by KCS during the year ended December 31, 2022, are included within "Equity (earnings) loss of Kansas City Southern" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Equity earnings of KCS recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022, also included KCS's gain on the unwinding of interest rate hedges of $212 million, which was net of CP's associated purchase accounting basis differences and tax.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred $599 million in acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS acquisition, of which $183 million were recorded within "Purchased services and other"and $247 million were recorded within "Other expense (income)" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs of $169 million, incurred by KCS during the 18 days from the date the acquisition closed into the voting trust, are included within "Equity (earnings) loss of Kansas City Southern" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. The acquisition-related costs recorded within "Other expense (income)" include the changes in fair value and realized gain from settlement of the FX forward contracts, changes in fair value and realized loss of the bond locks and forward starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps associated with the debt issuances (see Note 15), amortization of financing fees associated with the credit facilities (see Note 15), and FX gains on U.S. dollar-denominated cash on hand from the issuances of long-term debt to fund the KCS acquisition. Total financing fees paid for a bridge facility associated with the KCS acquisition for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $51 million , presented under "Cash (used in) provided by financing activities" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

DRTP

On December 22, 2020, CP completed its acquisition of the 83.5% ownership of the Detroit River Tunnel Partnership (“DRTP”) held by OMERS Infrastructure Management Inc. (“OMERS”) for cash, net of cash acquired, of $398 million. The purchase price was subject to customary closing adjustments, including any final adjustment for closing working capital and certain closing costs. With this acquisition CP obtained 100% ownership of DRTP. The acquisition of DRTP will reduce CP’s operating costs related to movements through the tunnel which amounted to approximately $34 million in 2020, and better integrate the eastern part of the network. DRTP owns a 1.6-mile rail tunnel linking Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan and additional, separate lands in both cities. The acquisition was funded with cash from operations and CP's commercial paper program.

The acquisition of DRTP was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values were estimated by applying an income approach using the discounted cash flow method of future cash flows, appraised land values reflecting a corridor enhancement factor where appropriate, and depreciated replacement cost for depreciable assets including the tunnel, track, signaling systems, and other railway related infrastructure assets.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 88

Prior to the close of the transaction, CP owned a 16.5% interest in DRTP, which was accounted for as an equity method investment. The previously held equity investment was remeasured to fair value which was determined from the negotiated purchase price that reflected a market value established in a competitive bid process. As a result of the acquisition, in 2020, the Company recognized a before-tax gain of $68 million on the remeasurement to fair value of its equity interest within "Purchased services and other", calculated as the difference between the fair value of CP's 16.5% interest in DRTP of $81 million and the book value of the interest of $13 million. The following summarizes the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities of DRTP:

(in millions of Canadian dollars)	December 22, 2020
Fair value of net assets acquired:
Accounts receivable, net	$	5
Properties	436
Intangible assets (Note 13)	4
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(1)
Deferred taxes	(55)
Total identifiable assets and liabilities	$	389
Goodwill (Note 13)	90
	$	479
Consideration:
Cash, net of cash acquired	$	398
Fair value of previously held equity method investment	81
Total consideration	$	479

The goodwill of $90 million relates primarily to the contract that DRTP has for CP’s use of the tunnel and deferred taxes recognized as a result of the purchase price allocation. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for tax purposes.

Prior to the acquisition of DRTP, CP had pre-existing agreements to use the tunnel and to operate and manage the tunnel on behalf of DRTP. On acquisition, no gain or loss was recognized in respect of the effective settlement of these pre-existing relationships as they were determined to be at fair market value based on an assessment of current market conditions and market participants.

Acquired cash and cash equivalents of $6 million is presented as a reduction of cash used in investing activities in the Company's 2020 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

CP has not provided pro forma information relating to the pre-acquisition period as it is not material.

11.    Investment in KCS

On December 14, 2021, the Company acquired KCS and deposited 100% of the outstanding KCS common stock into a voting trust. The Company recorded its investment in KCS at its acquisition cost under the equity method of accounting pending approval from the STB of the Company's application for control of KCS.

The investment carrying cost of $45,091 million reported on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as at December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $42,309 million) reflects the total of the consideration paid to acquire KCS, the offsetting asset recorded on recognition of a deferred tax liability computed on an outside basis (see Note 5), the subsequent recognition of equity income recorded in Equity (earnings) loss of KCS and Other Comprehensive Income of KCS, the receipt of dividends from KCS, and foreign currency translation based on the year-end exchange rate.

The approximate $30 billion 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 the Company, is the basis difference. The Company has estimated the fair value of KCS and its underlying net assets for the purposes of amortizing the basis difference, as required by the equity method of accounting. The fair value of KCS's underlying net assets, including property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, and other assets and liabilities, have been estimated on a preliminary basis and may be subject to change as additional information becomes available.

The basis differences that relate to depreciable property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with definite lives, and long-term debt are amortized over the related assets' remaining useful lives, and the remaining terms to maturity of the debt instruments. The basis difference that related to interest rate

89 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

hedges was reversed upon derecognition by KCS. The remainder of the basis difference, relating to non-depreciable property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with indefinite lives, and equity method goodwill, is not amortized and is carried at cost subject to an assessment for impairment.

Subject to final approval by the STB, the Company would obtain control of KCS and would account for its acquisition of KCS as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. As a result, the Company would be required to remeasure the carrying value of its equity method investment in KCS to fair value. Any resultant change in the value of the investment in KCS would be recognized as a gain or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, including the write-down of that portion of the carrying value of the investment in KCS recorded as an offsetting asset to the outside basis deferred tax liability (see Note 5).

The following tables present summarized financial information for KCS, on its historical cost basis:

93 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

The U.S. $1.4 billion 2.450% Notes and the U.S. $1.0 billion 3.000% Notes include a special mandatory redemption provision which provides that if STB final approval of the Company's application to control KCS is not received prior to March 25, 2023 or, if in the Company's judgment, STB final approval will not be sought or received by this date, the Company will be required to redeem all of such outstanding notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In conjunction with the above debt issuances, the Company cash settled a notional $600 million of interest rate bond locks and a notional U.S. $2.4 billion of forward starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements ("forward starting swaps") for a payment of $226 million during 2021. This payment was included in cash provided by operating activities consistent with the location of the related hedged item on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In 2021, the Company also repaid U.S. $250 million 9.450% 30-year debentures at maturity for a total of U.S. $250 million ($312 million).

B.  The 5.41% senior secured notes are collateralized by specific locomotive units with a carrying value of $89 million at December 31, 2022. The Company pays equal blended semi-annual payments of principal and interest. Final repayment of the remaining principal of U.S. $44 million is due in March 2024.

C.  The 6.91% secured equipment notes are full recourse obligations of the Company collateralized by a first charge on specific locomotive units with a carrying value of $31 million as at December 31, 2022. The Company pays equal blended semi-annual payments of principal and interest. Final repayment of the remaining principal of $11 million is due in October 2024.

D. The carrying value of the assets collateralizing finance lease obligations was $102 million at December 31, 2022.

E.  The Consolidated Debenture Stock, authorized by an Act of Parliament of 1889, constitutes a first charge upon and over the whole of the undertaking, railways, works, rolling stock, plant, property and effects of the Company, with certain exceptions.

Credit facility

The Company has a revolving credit facility (the “facility”) agreement with 14 highly rated financial institutions for a commitment amount of U.S. $1.3 billion. The facility can accommodate draws of cash and/or letters of credit at market competitive pricing. Effective September 24, 2021, the Company extended the maturity dates of the U.S. $1.0 billion tranche to September 27, 2026 and the U.S. $300 million tranche to September 27, 2023. During 2021, the Company amended the financial covenant within the facility agreement to provide flexibility upon closing of the KCS acquisition. As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company was in compliance with all terms and conditions of the credit facility arrangements and satisfied the financial covenant. As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, the facility was undrawn.

In 2021, the Company entered into a U.S. $500 million unsecured non-revolving term credit facility (the "term facility") with an initial due date of March 15, 2022. Effective March 14, 2022, the Company extended the maturity date of the U.S. $500 million term facility to September 15, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repaid in full the outstanding borrowings of U.S. $500 million ($636 million) on the term facility. The facility was automatically terminated on September 15, 2022 following the final principal repayment.

The Company also 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 revolving credit facility. As at December 31, 2022, the Company had no commercial paper borrowings outstanding (December 31, 2021 – $336 million).

The Company has bilateral letter of credit facilities with six highly rated financial institutions to support its requirement to post letters of credit in the ordinary course of business. Under these agreements, 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. These agreements permit the Company to withdraw amounts posted as collateral at any time; therefore, the amounts posted as collateral are presented as “Cash and cash equivalents” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any collateral posted on its bilateral letter of credit facilities but had letters of credit drawn of $75 million (December 31, 2021 – $58 million) from a total available amount of $300 million.

16.    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.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 94

The Company’s short-term financial instruments 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 value of short-term financial instruments approximate their fair values.

The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt does not approximate its fair value. The 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, including current maturities, with a carrying value of $19,651 million as at December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $19,151 million), had a fair value of $17,720 million (December 31, 2021 - $21,265 million).

B.  Financial risk management

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments may be used to selectively reduce volatility associated with fluctuations in interest rates, FX rates, the price of fuel, and stock-based compensation expense. Where derivatives are designated as hedging instruments, the relationship between the hedging instruments and their associated hedged items is documented, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instruments. This documentation includes linking the derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets or liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, commitments, or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative contract is entered into and at least quarterly thereafter, an assessment is made as to whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged items. The derivative qualifies for hedge accounting treatment if it is effective in substantially mitigating the risk it was designed to address.

It is not the Company’s intent to use financial derivatives or commodity instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the possibility that a customer or counterparty will fail to fulfil its obligations under a contract and as a result create a financial loss for the Company.

The railway industry predominantly serves financially established customers, and the Company has experienced limited financial losses with respect to credit risk. The credit worthiness of customers is assessed using credit scores supplied by a third party and through direct monitoring of their financial well-being on a continual basis. The Company establishes guidelines for customer credit limits and should thresholds in these areas be reached, appropriate precautions are taken to improve collectability.

Counterparties to financial instruments expose the Company to credit losses in the event of non-performance. Counterparties for derivative and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions, which are monitored on an ongoing basis. Counterparty credit assessments are based on the financial health of the institutions and their credit ratings from external agencies. The Company does not anticipate non-performance that would materially impact the Company’s Consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company believes there are no significant concentrations of credit risk.

FX management

The Company conducts business transactions and owns assets in both Canada and the United States. As a result, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the value of financial commitments, assets, liabilities, income, or cash flows due to changes in FX rates. The Company may enter into FX risk management transactions primarily to manage fluctuations in the exchange rate between Canadian and U.S. currencies. FX exposure is primarily mitigated through natural offsets created by revenues, expenditures, and balance sheet positions incurred in the same currency. Where appropriate, the Company may negotiate with customers and suppliers to reduce the net exposure.

Net investment hedge

The FX gains and losses on long-term debt are mainly unrealized and can only be realized when U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt matures or is settled. The Company also has long-term FX exposure on its investment in foreign subsidiaries with a U.S. dollar functional currency. The majority of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt has been designated as a hedge of the net investment in these foreign subsidiaries. This designation has the effect of mitigating volatility on Net income by offsetting long-term FX gains and losses on U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt and gains and losses on its net investment. The effect of the net investment hedge recognized in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” in 2022 was an FX loss of $471 million, the majority of which was unrealized (2021 – unrealized gain of $25 million; 2020 – unrealized gain of $136 million) (see Note 7).

95 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

FX forward contracts

During 2021, the Company entered into various FX forward contracts totalling a notional U.S. $1.0 billion to fix the FX rate and lock-in a portion of the amount of Canadian dollars it could have borrowed to finance the U.S. dollar-denominated cash portion of the total consideration payable pursuant to the Original Merger Agreement with KCS. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company settled the FX forward contracts and did not have any such contracts remaining as at December 31, 2021. The realized gain from settlement of the FX forward contracts was $13 million and was recorded in "Other expense (income)" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income (2022 - $nil).

Interest rate management

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will vary as a result of changes in market interest rates. In order to manage funding needs or capital structure goals, the Company enters into debt or finance lease agreements that are subject to either fixed market interest rates set at the time of issue or floating rates determined by ongoing market conditions. Debt subject to variable interest rates exposes the Company to variability in interest expense, while debt subject to fixed interest rates exposes the Company to variability in the fair value of debt.

To manage interest rate exposure, the Company accesses diverse sources of financing and manages borrowings in line with a targeted range of capital structure, debt ratings, liquidity needs, maturity schedule, and currency and interest rate profiles. In anticipation of future debt issuances, the Company may enter into forward rate agreements that are designated as cash flow hedges, to substantially lock in all or a portion of the effective future interest expense. The Company may also enter into swap and lock agreements, designated as fair value hedges, to manage the mix of fixed and floating rate debt.

Forward starting swaps

In the first half of 2021, the Company entered into forward starting swaps with terms of up to 30 years, totalling a notional U.S. $2.4 billion to fix the benchmark rate on cash flows associated with highly probable forecasted issuances of long-term notes.

On May 21, 2021, the Original Merger Agreement with KCS was terminated which resulted in the Company ceasing hedge accounting for the U.S. $2.4 billion of forward starting swaps. However, as the note issuances were still reasonably possible to occur, fair value losses of $73 million prior to this determination remained in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, net of tax. Fair value losses of $251 million during the period from May 21, 2021 through to the roll and re-designation described below were recorded within “Other expense (income)" on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Following CP entering into the Merger Agreement with KCS, the Company rolled the notional U.S. $2.4 billion of forward starting swaps but did not effect a cash settlement. Concurrently, the Company re-designated the forward starting swaps totalling U.S. $2.4 billion to fix the benchmark rate on cash flows associated with highly probable forecasted issuances of long-term notes. The changes in fair value on the forward starting swaps were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, net of tax, as cash flow hedges until the notes were issued. Fair value gains subsequent to re-designation of $94 million were recorded within “Other comprehensive income” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company cash settled all outstanding forward starting swaps related to debt issuances that occurred in the same period. The fair value of these derivative instruments at the time of settlement was a loss of $230 million. The related $21 million gain within "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" will be reclassified to "Net interest expense" ratably over the duration of the notes' hedged interest payments.

Bond locks

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into seven-year interest rate bond locks totalling a notional $600 million to fix the benchmark rate on cash flows associated with a highly probable forecasted issuance of long-term notes.

On May 21, 2021, the Original Merger Agreement with KCS was terminated which resulted in the Company ceasing hedge accounting for the $600 million of bond locks. However, as the note issuances were still reasonably possible to occur, fair value losses of $2 million prior to this determination remained in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, net of tax. Fair value losses of $10 million during the period from May 21, 2021 through to the roll and re-designation described below were recorded within “Other expense (income)" on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Following CP entering into the Merger Agreement with KCS, the Company rolled the notional $600 million of bond locks but did not effect a cash settlement. Concurrently, the Company re-designated the bond locks totalling $600 million to fix the benchmark rate on cash flows associated with highly probable forecasted issuances of long-term notes. The changes in fair value on the bond locks are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, net of tax, as cash flow hedges until the notes were issued. Fair value gains subsequent to re-designation of $19 million were recorded within “Other comprehensive income” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 96

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company cash settled all outstanding bond locks related to debt issuances that occurred in the same period. The fair value of these derivative instruments at the time of settlement was a gain of $7 million. The related $17 million gain within "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" will be reclassified to "Net interest expense" ratably over the duration of the notes' hedged interest payments.

Designated hedges that were previously settled were amortized from “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" to "Net interest expense" for a total of $6 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 (2021 - $10 million; 2020 - $10 million). The Company expects that during the next 12 months, $6 million of net losses will be reclassified to “Net interest expense”.

Environmental remediation accruals

Environmental remediation accruals cover site-specific remediation programs. The estimate of the probable costs to be incurred in the remediation of properties contaminated by past activities reflects the nature of contamination at individual sites according to typical activities and scale of operations conducted. The Company has developed remediation strategies for each property based on the nature and extent of the contamination, as well as the location of the property and surrounding areas that may be adversely affected by the presence of contaminants, considering available technologies, treatment and disposal facilities and the acceptability of site-specific plans based on the local regulatory environment. Site-specific plans range from containment and risk management of the contaminants through to the removal and treatment of the contaminants and affected soils and groundwater. The details of the estimates reflect the environmental liability at each property. Provisions for environmental remediation costs are recorded in “Other long-term liabilities”, except for the current portion which is recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” (see Note 14). Payments are expected to be made over 10 years to 2032.

The accruals for environmental remediation represent the Company’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 the Company’s best estimate of all probable costs, the Company’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, 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. Changes to costs are reflected as changes to “Other long-term liabilities” or “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and to “Purchased services and other” within operating expenses on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. The amount charged to income in 2022 was $8 million (2021 – $10 million; 2020 – $10 million).

18. Leases

The Company’s leases have remaining terms of less than one year to 18 years, some include options to extend up to an additional 10 years, and some include options to terminate within one year.

Residual value guarantees are provided on certain vehicle operating leases. Cumulatively, these guarantees are limited to $1 million and are not included in lease liabilities as it is not currently probable that any amounts will be owed.

21.    Pensions and other benefits

The Company has both defined benefit (“DB”) and defined contribution (“DC”) pension plans. At December 31, 2022, the Canadian pension plans represent nearly all of total combined pension plan assets and nearly all of total combined pension plan obligations.

The DB plans provide for pensions based principally on years of service and compensation rates near retirement. Pensions for Canadian pensioners are partially indexed to inflation. Annual employer contributions to the DB plans, which are actuarially determined, are made on the basis of being not less than the minimum amounts required by federal pension supervisory authorities.

The Company has other benefit plans including post-retirement health and life insurance for pensioners, and post-employment long-term disability and workers’ compensation benefits, which are based on Company-specific claims. At December 31, 2022, the Canadian other benefits plans represent nearly all of total combined other plan obligations.

The Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors has approved an investment policy that establishes long-term asset mix targets, which take into account the Company’s expected risk tolerances. Pension plan assets are managed by a suite of independent investment managers, with the allocation by manager reflecting these asset mix targets. Most of the assets are actively managed with the objective of outperforming applicable benchmarks. In accordance with the investment policy, derivative instruments may be used by investment managers to hedge or adjust existing or anticipated exposures.

To develop the expected long-term rate of return assumption used in the calculation of net periodic benefit cost applicable to the market-related value of plan assets, the Company considers the expected composition of the plans’ assets, past experience, and future estimates of long-term investment returns. Future estimates of investment returns reflect the long-term return expectation for fixed income, public equity, real estate, infrastructure, private debt, and absolute return investments, and the expected added value (relative to applicable benchmark indices) from active management of pension plan assets.

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 100

The Company has elected to use a market-related value of assets for the purpose of calculating net periodic benefit cost, developed from a five-year average of market values for the plans’ public equity and absolute return investments (with each prior year’s market value adjusted to the current date for assumed investment income during the intervening period) plus the market value of the plans’ fixed income, real estate, infrastructure, and private debt securities.

The benefit obligation is discounted using a discount rate that is a blended yield to maturity for a hypothetical portfolio of high-quality debt instruments with cash flows matching projected benefit payments. The discount rate is determined by management.

Net periodic benefit cost

The elements of net periodic benefit cost for DB pension plans and other benefits recognized in the year include the following components:

	Pensions						Other benefits
(in millions of Canadian dollars)	2022		2021		2020		2022		2021		2020
Current service cost (benefits earned by employees)	$	148	$	171	$	140	$	11	$	13	$	12

(2) The expected rate of return on plan assets that will be used to compute the 2023 net periodic benefit recovery is 6.90%.

Plan assets

Plan assets are recorded at fair value. The major asset categories are public equity securities, fixed income securities, real estate, infrastructure, absolute return investments, and private debt. The fair values of the public equity and fixed income securities are primarily based on quoted market prices. Real estate and infrastructure values are based on the value of each fund’s assets as calculated by the fund manager, generally using third party appraisals or discounted cash flow analysis and taking into account current market conditions and recent sales transactions where practical and appropriate. Private debt values are based on the value of each fund’s assets as calculated by the fund manager taking into account current market conditions and reviewed annually by external parties. Absolute return investments are a portfolio of units of externally managed hedge funds and are valued by the fund administrators.

103 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

The Company’s pension plan asset allocation, the weighted-average asset allocation targets, and the weighted average policy range for each major asset class at year-end were as follows:

The investment managers may utilize the following derivative instruments: equity futures to replicate equity index returns (Level 2); currency forwards to partially hedge foreign currency exposures (Level 2); bond forwards to reduce asset/liability interest rate risk exposures (Level 2); interest rate swaps to manage duration and interest rate risk (Level 2); credit default swaps to manage credit risk (Level 2); and options to manage interest rate risk and volatility (Level 2). The Company may utilize derivatives directly, but only for the purpose of hedging foreign currency exposures. As at December 31, 2022, there are currency forwards with a notional value of $nil (December 31, 2021 – $nil) and a fair value of $nil (December 31, 2021 – $6 million). The fixed income investment manager utilizes a portfolio of bond forwards for the purpose of reducing asset/liability interest rate exposure. As at December 31, 2022, there are bond forwards with a notional value of $1,745 million (December 31, 2021 – $2,967 million) and a fair value of $(81) million (December 31, 2021 – $100 million).

(8) Absolute return:

The value of absolute return fund investments is based on the NAV reported by the fund administrators. The funds have different redemption policies with redemption notice periods varying from 30 to 120 days and frequencies ranging from monthly to triennially.

Additional plan assets information

The Company's primary investment objective for pension plan assets is to achieve a long–term return, net of all fees and expenses, that is sufficient for the plan's assets to satisfy the current and future obligations to plan beneficiaries, while minimizing the financial impact on the Company. In identifying the asset allocation ranges, consideration was given to the long-term nature of the underlying plan liabilities, the solvency and going-concern financial position of the plan, long-term return expectations, and the risks associated with key asset classes as well as the relationships of returns on key asset classes with each other, inflation, and interest rates. When advantageous and with due consideration, derivative instruments may be utilized by investment managers, provided the total value of the underlying assets represented by financial derivatives (excluding currency forwards, liability hedging derivatives in fixed income portfolios, and derivatives held by absolute return funds) is limited to 30% of the market value of the fund.

The funded status of the plans is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, which affects the relative values of the plans' liabilities and assets. In order to mitigate interest rate risk, the Company's main Canadian defined benefit pension plan utilizes a liability driven investment strategy in its fixed income portfolio, which uses a combination of long duration bonds and derivatives to hedge interest rate risk, managed by the investment manager. As at December 31, 2022, the plan's solvency funded position was 45% hedged against interest rate risk (2021 – 47%).

When investing in foreign securities, the plans are exposed to foreign currency risk; the effect of which is included in the valuation of the foreign securities. At December 31, 2022, the plans were 50% exposed to the U.S. dollar, 6% exposed to the Euro, and 10% exposed to various other currencies. At December 31, 2021, the plans were 43% exposed to the U.S. dollar, 5% exposed to the Euro, and 10% exposed to various other currencies.

At December 31, 2022, plan assets included 570,074 of the Common Shares of the Company (2021 – 426,304) at a market value of $58 million (2021 – $39 million) and Fixed Income securities of the Company at a market value of $5 million (2021 – $5 million).

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 106

Estimated future benefit payments

The estimated future DB pension and other benefit payments to be paid by the plans for each of the next five years and the subsequent five-year period are as follows:

(in millions of Canadian dollars)	Pensions		Other benefits
2023	$	652	$	33
2024	648		31
2025	649		30
2026	648		29
2027	649		29
2028-2032	3,234		137

The benefit payments from the Canadian registered and U.S. qualified DB pension plans are payable from their respective pension funds. Benefit payments from the supplemental pension plan and from the other benefits plans are payable directly by the Company.

Defined contribution plan

Canadian non-unionized employees hired prior to July 1, 2010 had the option to participate in the Canadian DC plan. All Canadian non-unionized employees hired after such date must participate in this plan. Employee contributions are based on a percentage of salary. The Company matches employee contributions to a maximum percentage each year.

Effective July 1, 2010, a new U.S. DC plan was established. All U.S. non-unionized employees hired after such date must participate in this plan. Employees do not contribute to the plan. The Company annually contributes a percentage of salary.

The DC plans provide a pension based on total employee and employer contributions plus investment income earned on those contributions.

In 2022, the net cost of the DC plans, which generally equals the employer’s required contribution, was $12 million (2021 – $13 million; 2020 – $12 million).

Contributions to multi-employer plans

Some of the Company’s unionized employees in the U.S. are members of a U.S. national multi-employer benefit plan. Contributions made by the Company to this plan in 2022 in respect of post-retirement medical benefits were $2 million (2021 – $3 million; 2020 – $3 million).

22.    Stock-based compensation.

At December 31, 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 of $113 million in 2022 (2021 – $131 million; 2020 – $170 million) and the total tax benefit related to these plans was $26 million in 2022 (2021 – $29 million; 2020 – $42 million).

(1) As at December 31, 2022, the total number of in-the-money stock options outstanding was 7,339,374 with a weighted-average exercise price of $61.60. The weighted-average years to expiration of exercisable stock options is 2.4 years.

Pursuant to the employee plan, 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 for options issued in 2022 (2021 – $26 million; 2020 – $15 million). The weighted-average fair value assumptions were approximately:

In 2022, the expense for stock options (regular and performance) was $23 million (2021 – $23 million; 2020 – $16 million). At December 31, 2022, there was $17 million of total unrecognized compensation related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.9 years.

The total fair value of shares vested for the stock option plan during 2022 was $24 million (2021 – $18 million; 2020 – $10 million).

B. Other share-based plans

Performance share unit plans

During 2022, the Company issued 415,660 PSUs with a grant date fair value of approximately $38 million and 13,506 PDSUs with a grant date fair value, including value of expected future matching units, of approximately $1 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 using closing share price on the date of measurement. The fair value of units that are probable of vesting based on forecasted performance factors over the three-year performance period is recognized as expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Vested PSUs are settled in cash. Vested PDSUs are settled in cash pursuant to the 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 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 the S&P 500 Industrials Index.

The performance period for 431,430 PSUs and 12,694 PDSUs issued in 2021 is January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023, and the performance factors for these PSUs are Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC"), TSR compared to the S&P/TSX 60 Index, and TSR compared to Class I railways.

The performance period for 489,990 PSUs and 50,145 PDSUs issued in 2020 was January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022, and the performance factors for these PSUs were ROIC, TSR compared to the S&P/TSX 60 Index, and TSR compared to Class I Railways. The estimated payout on these awards is 180% on 459,358 PSUs and 45,058 PDSUs outstanding (including expected future matching units) representing fair values of $87 million and $11 million respectively as at December 31, 2022, calculated using the Company's average share price of the last 30 trading days preceding December 31, 2022.

The performance period for 668,405 PSUs issued in 2019 was January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, and the performance factors were 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.

The following table summarizes information related to PSUs and PDSUs as at December 31:

	2022	2021
Outstanding, January 1	1,577,781	1,909,345
Granted	429,166	444,124
Units in lieu of dividends	11,207	14,668

Forfeited	(44,723)	(46,844)
Outstanding, December 31	1,336,358	1,577,781

109 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

In 2022, the expense for PSUs and PDSUs was $69 million (2021 – $91 million; 2020 – $121 million). At December 31, 2022, there was $32 million of total unrecognized compensation related to these awards which, is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.6 years.

Deferred share unit plan

The Company established the DSU plan as a means to compensate and assist in attaining share ownership targets set for certain key employees and Directors. A DSU entitles the holder to receive, upon redemption, a cash payment equivalent to the Company's average share price using the 10 trading days prior to redemption. DSUs vest over various periods of up to 36 months and are only redeemable for a specified period after employment is terminated.

Senior managers may elect to receive DSUs in lieu of annual bonus cash payments in the bonus deferral program. In addition, senior managers will be granted a 25% company match of DSUs when deferring cash to DSUs to meet ownership targets. The election to receive eligible payments in DSUs is no longer available to a participant when the value of the participant’s DSUs is sufficient to meet the Company’s stock ownership guidelines. Senior managers have five years to meet their ownership targets.

The expense for DSUs is recognized over the vesting period for both the initial subscription price and the change in value between reporting periods.

The following table summarizes information related to DSUs as at December 31:

	2022	2021
Outstanding, January 1	841,333	774,053
Granted	60,262	70,112
Units in lieu of dividends	6,510	6,753
Settled	(162,319)	(6,677)
Forfeited	(1,256)	(2,908)
Outstanding, December 31	744,530	841,333

During 2022, the Company granted 60,262 DSUs with a grant date fair value of approximately $6 million. In 2022, the expense for DSUs was $10 million (2021 – $6 million; 2020 – $21 million). At December 31, 2022, there was $1 million of total unrecognized compensation related to DSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.7 years.

Summary of share-based liabilities paid

The following table summarizes the total share-based liabilities paid for each of the years ended December 31:

(in millions of Canadian dollars)	2022		2021		2020

Total	$	137	$	126	$	86

C. Employee share purchase plan

The Company has an employee share purchase plan whereby both employee and the Company contributions are used to purchase shares on the open market for employees. The Company’s contributions are expensed over the one year vesting period. Under the plan, the Company matches $1 for every $3 contributed by employees up to a maximum employee contribution of 6% of annual salary.

The total number of shares purchased in 2022 on behalf of participants, including the Company's contributions, was 566,902 (2021 – 538,022; 2020 – 576,720). In 2022, the Company’s contributions totalled $11 million (2021 – $11 million; 2020 – $9 million) and the related expense was $9 million (2021 – $8 million; 2020 – $7 million).

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 110

23.    Variable interest entities

The Company leases equipment from certain trusts, which have been determined to be variable interest entities financed by a combination of debt and equity provided by unrelated third parties. The lease agreements, which are classified as operating leases, have fixed price purchase options that create the Company’s variable interests and result in the trusts being considered variable interest entities.

Maintaining and operating the leased assets according to specific contractual obligations outlined in the terms of the lease agreements and industry standards is the Company’s responsibility. The rigour of the contractual terms of the lease agreements and industry standards are such that the Company has limited discretion over the maintenance activities associated with these assets. As such, the Company concluded these terms do not provide the Company with the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entities in a way that has a significant impact on the entities’ economic performance.

The financial exposure to the Company as a result of its involvement with the variable interest entities is equal to the fixed lease payments due to the trusts. In 2022, lease payments after tax were $15 million. Future minimum lease payments, before tax, of $94 million will be payable over the next eight years. The Company does not guarantee the residual value of the assets to the lessor; however, it must deliver to the lessor the assets in good operating condition, subject to normal wear and tear, at the end of the lease term.

As the Company’s actions and decisions do not significantly affect the variable interest entities’ performance, and the Company’s fixed price purchase option is not considered to be potentially significant to the variable interest entities, the Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary, and does not consolidate these variable interest entities.

Additionally, as further discussed in Note 10, as at December 31, 2022, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole beneficiary of an independent voting trust that holds 100% of the equity interest in KCS. The trust is governed by a single trustee who is responsible to act in the interest of the Company as the beneficial owner of the shares of KCS. As a result of KCS's equity being held in trust, the Company's interest in KCS does not have the attributes of a typical equity holder as the Company has no power to direct KCS’s activities during the trust period and therefore the trust is considered to be a variable interest entity that the Company cannot consolidate.

The risks associated with the Company's investment in KCS include normal corporate and business risks associated with railroad operations. During the trust period, KCS is subject to contractual restrictions related to acquiring assets, entering into material contracts, or making certain additional capital expenditures that could have a negative impact on their operations. The Company's investment in KCS is also subject to the risk that the STB will not approve the Company’s application to control KCS by December 31, 2023, or by a final and non-appealable order, refuse to provide final approval in which cases the Company would be required to dispose of its investment in KCS. Similarly, if the STB imposes onerous conditions on its final approval, the Company may choose to dispose of its initial investment in KCS rather than agreeing to the conditions imposed by the STB. The Company may not be able to sell its investment at a price that recovers its initial investment and may incur a loss up to the full carrying value of its investment in KCS, in addition to incurring significant expenses in connection to such transaction. All of these risks can impact the overall value of the Company’s investment in KCS.

24.    Commitments and 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 December 31, 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.

Commitments

At December 31, 2022, the Company had committed to total future capital expenditures amounting to $389 million and operating expenditures relating to supplier purchase obligations, such as bulk fuel purchase agreements, locomotive maintenance and overhaul agreements, as well as agreements to purchase other goods and services amounting to approximately $1.4 billion for the years 2023–2035.

Commitments related to leases, including minimum annual payments for the next five years and thereafter, are included in Note 18.

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.

111 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

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 the Company and others:

(1)Québec's Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment, Wildlife and Parks ordered various parties, including the Company, to remediate the derailment site (the "Cleanup Order") and served the Company with a Notice of Claim for $95 million for those costs. The Company 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 the Company 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) the Company was responsible for the petroleum crude oil from its point of origin until its delivery to Irving Oil Ltd.; and (ii) the Company 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 the Company 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 the Company 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 the Company 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. The Québec Superior Court issued a decision on December 14, 2022 dismissing all claims as against the Company, finding that the Company’s actions were not the direct and immediate cause of the accident and the damages suffered by the plaintiffs. All three plaintiffs filed a declaration of appeal on January 13, 2023. A damages trial will follow after the disposition of all appeals, if necessary.

(5)Forty-eight plaintiffs (all individual claims joined in one action) sued the Company, 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 the Company, 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 the Company in November 2014 in the Maine Bankruptcy Court claiming that the Company 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 the Company 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. In the meantime, the Company has filed a motion for leave to file additional arguments on the effect of the decision of the Québec Superior Court in the consolidated claims and motion is set to be heard on February 28, 2023.

(7)The class and mass tort action commenced against the Company 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 the Company 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 the Company negligently misclassified and improperly packaged the petroleum crude oil. On the Company’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 the Company in North Dakota Federal Court, seeking to recover approximately U.S. $6 million for damaged rail cars and lost crude oil 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

CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT 112

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. On January 20, 2023, the Court granted in part the Company's summary judgment motion by dismissing all claims for recovery of settlement payments but leaving for trial the determination of the value of the lost crude oil. It also dismissed the Company's motion for reconsideration on tariff applicability. The remaining issue of the value of the lost crude oil is set 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, the Company denies liability and is vigorously defending these proceedings.

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 for which it is liable under the ruling of the Court. The Company has filed an appeal of the Court’s decision.

25.    Guarantees

In the normal course of operating the railway, the Company enters into contractual arrangements that involve providing certain guarantees, which extend over the term of the contracts. These guarantees include, but are not limited to:

•guarantees to pay other parties in the event of the occurrence of specified events, including damage to equipment, in relation to assets used in the operation of the railway through operating leases, rental agreements, easements, trackage, and interline agreements; and

•indemnifications of certain tax-related payments incurred by lessors and lenders.

The maximum amount that could be payable under these guarantees, excluding residual value guarantees, cannot be reasonably estimated due to the nature of certain of these guarantees. All or a portion of amounts paid under guarantees to other parties in the event of the occurrence of specified events could be recoverable from other parties or through insurance. The Company has accrued for all guarantees that it expects to pay. As at December 31, 2022, these accruals amounted to $5 million (2021 – $14 million), and are recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities".

Indemnifications

Pursuant to a trust and custodial services agreement with the trustee of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company Pension Plan, the Company has undertaken to indemnify and save harmless the trustee, to the extent not paid by the fund, from any and all taxes, claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising out of the performance of the trustee’s obligations under the agreement, except as a result of misconduct by the trustee. The indemnity includes liabilities, costs, or expenses relating to any legal reporting or notification obligations of the trustee with respect to the defined benefit and defined contribution options of the pension plans, or otherwise with respect to the assets of the pension plans that are not part of the fund. The indemnity survives the termination or expiry of the agreement with respect to claims and liabilities arising prior to the termination or expiry.

Pursuant to the voting trust agreement executed as part of the KCS acquisition, the Company has undertaken to protect, indemnify and save harmless the trustee from any loss, damages, liability, cost or expense in connection with the independent voting trust (except those resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the trustee), and any cost or expense of any suit or litigation with respect to the trust stock or the voting trust agreement. The Company has also undertaken to pay all costs, damages and expenses of the trustee, where the trustee is made party to or is the subject of any investigation or proceeding by reason of and with respect to the trust stock or voting trust agreement.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company had not recorded a liability associated with this indemnification as it does not expect to make any payments pertaining to it.

26.    Segmented and geographic information

Operating segment

The Company operates in only one operating segment: rail transportation. Operating results by geographic areas, railway corridors, or other lower-level components or units of operation are not reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker to make decisions about the allocation of resources to, or the assessment of performance of, such geographic areas, corridors, components, or units of operation.

In the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, no one customer comprised more than 10% of total revenues and accounts receivable.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2022, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's management, including 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 December 31, 2022, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that they file or submit 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.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for the financial statements and for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Corporation’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Corporation’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 has been audited by EY LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm who audited the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K, as stated in their report, which is included herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended December 31, 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.

115 CP 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Canadian Pacific Railway Limited

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Canadian Pacific Railway Limited and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). In our opinion, Canadian Pacific Railway Limited and subsidiaries (“the Company”) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2022, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the one year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and our report dated February 24, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ARTICLE 1 - ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLAN

1.01The Company established the Canadian Pacific Railway Management Supplemental Pension Plan (1998) (the “Management Plan”) and the Canadian Pacific Railway Executive Supplemental Pension Plan (1998) (the “Executive Plan”) (collectively the “Prior Plans”), both effective May 1, 1998. The Management Plan provided supplemental pension benefits primarily on a defined benefit basis to eligible management employees of the Company. The Executive Plan provided supplemental pension benefits primarily on a defined benefit basis to designated executive employees of the Company. The Prior Plans were terminated effective December 31, 2010.

1.02The Company established the Supplemental Plan effective January 1, 2011 to provide retirement benefits to eligible management and executive employees of the Company. The Supplemental Plan provides benefits primarily on a defined contribution basis to eligible Members in excess of the contributions that may be made in respect of such employees under the Basic Plan, which contributions are restricted by the maximum contributions permitted under the Income Tax Act. The Supplemental Plan preserves the supplemental defined contribution account balances, if any, as at December 31, 2010 and the entitlement to a defined benefit pension, if any, under the Prior Plans for service to December 31, 2010. Included as Appendix A are supplemental defined benefit provisions, for the purpose of preserving such legacy lifetime retirement income and related benefits to management or executive employees of the Company who participated in the defined benefit provisions of the Prior Plans. The purpose of Appendix A of the Supplemental Plan is to provide benefits to eligible employees in excess of the benefits payable to such employees under the Basic Plan, which benefits are restricted by the maximum benefits permitted under the Income Tax Act.

1.03Effective June 1, 2013, the Company established the Secondary Plan. As a result of the creation of the Secondary Plan, the Supplemental Plan was amended.

1.04The Supplemental Plan is primarily intended to restore benefits under the Basic Plan and the Secondary Plan (collectively the “Registered Plans”) to the level that would be available in accordance with the contribution or benefit formula, as applicable, under the Registered Plans if restrictions imposed by the Income Tax Act were not applicable. However, different benefits may be provided under this Supplemental Plan for individual Members or classes of Members as may be so designated from time to time.

Canadian Pacific Railway Company

Supplemental Retirement Plan

Effective January 1, 2011 Page 10

between the Company and the Trustee, for the purpose of providing security for the funding of the Trust Fund with proceeds of a Security Instrument in the event that an Event of Default shall occur. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may make contributions to the Trust Fund to fund the Liabilities in accordance with the Trust Agreement.

9.04

(a)The Company shall make payments to the Trust Fund in accordance with the Trust Agreement. All monies accruing to the Trust Fund shall be deposited into a separate account to the credit of the Trustee and shall not form part of the revenues or assets of the Company. The Trust Fund shall be administered in accordance with the Supplemental Plan and the assets of the Trust Fund other than the Security Instrument held in the Trust Fund shall be invested in accordance with such directions as the Pension Committee may give. The Pension Committee, on terms and conditions satisfactory to it, may retain the services of an agent or agents or designate employees of the Company to invest or reinvest any of the assets of the Trust Fund other than the Security Instrument held in the Trust Fund and may, but need not, delegate to any such agent, agents or employees any of the power or authority that may be vested in it in relation to the investment or reinvestment of any such assets.

(b)There shall be paid from the Trust Fund

(i)the costs of administering the Supplemental Plan and the Trust Fund, including taxes, to the extent that such costs are not borne by the Company, and

(ii)all Secured Benefits to be paid under the Supplemental Plan to the extent that such pensions and other benefits are not borne by the Company.

(c)Subject to the Actuary’s recommendation, the Company shall contribute to the Trust Fund from time to time

(i)where the Supplemental Plan is to be fully funded, such amount as may be required to enable the Trust Fund to provide for payment of all of the Secured Benefits and administrative costs required to be paid under the Supplemental Plan,

Canadian Pacific Railway Company

Supplemental Retirement Plan

Effective January 1, 2011 Page 11

(ii)where the Supplemental Plan is to be partially funded and partially secured, such amount as is sufficient to enable the Trustee to obtain or renew a Security Instrument with a face amount at least equal to the Liabilities less the market value of the other assets of the Trust Fund as at the Liability Valuation Date,

(iii)where the Supplemental Plan is to be fully secured, such amount as is sufficient to enable the Trustee to obtain or renew a Security Instrument with a face amount at least equal to the Liabilities less the market value of the other assets of the Trust Fund as at the Liability Valuation Date.

Where the Supplemental Plan is to be fully funded, and the Liabilities as at a Liability Valuation Date exceed the market value of the Supplemental Plan’s assets as at such Liability Valuation Date, then the Company shall contribute the amount by which such Liabilities exceed such value of assets within two (2) months following such Liability Valuation Date (with 50% of such excess deposited in the Trust Fund and 50% remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency as refundable tax).

9.05

(a)If the Company makes a contribution that is subsequently determined to be an overpayment, then such contribution shall be returned to the Company to the extent of the overpayment.

(b)If at any time the market value of the assets of the Trust Fund (including for greater certainty the face amount of any Security Instrument held in the Trust Fund) exceeds the greater of the Liabilities and the ongoing liabilities in respect of Secured Benefits that, in the estimation of the Actuary, would exist twenty-four (24) months from the date of such estimate, the Company shall have the right to receive, upon demand for payment made to the Trustee, the payment of all or part of such excess.

(c)In the event of termination of the Supplemental Plan, amounts payable from the Trust Fund shall be limited to expenses and Secured Benefits in respect of Service up to the date of such termination.

Effective January 1, 2011 Page 12

(d)For greater certainty, nothing herein shall affect the Company’s obligations to provide all benefits under the Supplemental Plan.

ARTICLE 10 - AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OR REGISTERED PLANS

10.01The Company expects to continue the Supplemental Plan indefinitely, but nevertheless reserves the right to amend or discontinue the Supplemental Plan, provided that no such action shall adversely affect the aggregate of the benefits which have accrued under the Registered Plans and the Supplemental Plan immediately prior to the time such action is taken, based on:

(a)in the case of benefits payable on a defined contribution basis hereunder, the Member’s Registered Company Account and Supplemental Company Account balances as of the date of such amendment or discontinuance; and

(b)in the case of benefits payable on a defined benefit basis hereunder, the Member’s Pensionable Service, Highest Plan Earnings and Average Year’s Maximum Pensionable Earnings as of the date of such amendment or discontinuance.

10.02Any amendment to the Supplemental Plan shall be made by the adoption of a resolution of the Board unless the Board’s power or authority to amend the Supplemental Plan has been delegated. All such amendments shall be binding upon the Company and upon each Member.

10.03It is hereby acknowledged that the Supplemental Benefit payable pursuant to this Supplemental Plan is contingent on the continuation of the Basic Plan. In the event that one or both of the Registered Plans is discontinued or terminated, and not replaced by a successor pension plan within the meaning of the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 (Canada), the amount of the Supplemental Benefit payable hereunder shall be determined based on the Member’s Supplemental Company Account balance, Pensionable Service, Highest Plan Earnings and Average Year’s Maximum Pensionable Earnings, as applicable, as at the date of such discontinuance or termination, unless otherwise determined by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the discontinuance or termination of one or both of the Registered Plans shall not adversely affect the aggregate

Canadian Pacific Railway Company

Supplemental Retirement Plan

Effective January 1, 2011 Page 13

of the benefits which have accrued to the Member under the Registered Plans and the Supplemental Plan immediately prior to the time such action is taken.

10.04If one or both of the Registered Plans is amended so that references thereto contained in the Supplemental Plan are no longer applicable, the Supplemental Plan shall be deemed to be amended accordingly. No such amendment will be considered to adversely affect any right with respect to benefits which have accrued in aggregate under the Registered Plans and the Supplemental Plan immediately prior to the time such action is taken.

10.05If, after satisfactory provision for all Supplemental Plan Secured Benefits and expenses has been made following the full termination of the Supplemental Plan, surplus assets remain in the Trust Fund (which for greater certainty includes all applicable refundable taxes received or receivable by the Trust Fund) such surplus assets shall revert to the Company.

10.06In the event that the Trust Fund is insufficient to make in full the payments required after all refundable tax payable to the Trust Fund is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall, after provision for the payment of expenses, reduce the payments to Members, their Spouses or beneficiaries in proportion to the insufficiency, as determined by the Actuary, and provided that, in each case, the Trustee may provide for some benefits or partial benefits prior to the receipt of the refundable tax and the remaining benefits after the refundable tax is received.

10.07Where an Event of Default occurs which results in a draw by the Trustee on the full amount of the Security Instrument and the Company does not make arrangements enabling the Trustee to renew or replace the Security Instrument in accordance with the Trust Agreement, the benefit accruals under the Supplemental Plan shall cease as of the date of the Event of Default.

In such event, solely for purposes of the calculation of benefits payable under the Supplemental Plan,

(a)the Supplemental Plan and the Registered Plans shall be deemed to be terminated as of the date of the Event of Default; and

Canadian Pacific Railway Company

Supplemental Retirement Plan

Effective January 1, 2011 Page 14

(b)all Members shall be deemed to have terminated or retired, as the case may be, as of the date of the Event of Default.

Following the Event of Default, a Member (other than a U.S. Member), Former Member, or Pensioner (or his or her Spouse or Post-Retirement Spouse), as the case may be, may elect to receive a lump sum payment determined in accordance with Appendix A.7 in lieu of the retirement income, determined in accordance with Appendix A, otherwise payable, if any.

10.08Where, following an Event of Default, a Representative Participant has been appointed in accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Representative Participant shall carry out such duties and responsibilities as set out in the Trust Agreement.

10.09Where new amendments to the Supplemental Plan’s benefit provisions that increase the Supplemental Plan’s liabilities are adopted after a Liability Valuation Date, and such amendments are not reflected in the Actuary’s computation of the Liabilities as at such date, such amended benefits will not be secured by either the Security Instrument or any assets of the Trust Fund until three (3) months following the subsequent Liability Valuation Date, unless the Actuary prepares a report reflecting such amendments and the face amount of the Security Instrument is amended to reflect the associated increase in Liabilities or, if the Supplemental Plan is being fully funded, the Company contributes an amount equal to the increase in Liabilities (with 50% of such amount deposited in the Trust Fund and 50% remitted to the Canada Revenue Agency as refundable tax).

ARTICLE 11 - ADMINISTRATION

11.01The Company shall administer this Supplemental Plan and shall adopt such rules as it may deem necessary for its proper administration.

The Company shall have the powers necessary to carry out the administration of the Supplemental Plan, including, but not restricted to, the power:

11.06The Company shall indemnify and save harmless any employee, officer or director of the Company from personal liability in respect of their respective acts or omissions in administering the Supplemental Plan, except where the act or omission was fraudulent or in bad faith on the part of the employee, officer or director.

11.07Whenever the records of the Company are used for the purposes of the Supplemental Plan, such records shall be conclusive of the facts with which they are concerned.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of Kansas City Southern is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. KCS’s internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect material misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework(2013) (commonly referred to as the COSO Framework). Based on its evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022, based on the criteria outlined in the COSO Framework.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which immediately follows this report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To theBoard of Directors and Stockholder of Kansas City Southern

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kansas City Southern and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the

3

company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company capitalizes costs for self-constructed additions and improvements to property, including direct labor and material, indirect costs, and interest during long-term construction projects. Expenditures that significantly increase asset values, productive capacity, efficiency, safety, or extend useful lives are capitalized. As disclosed by management, direct costs are charged to capital projects based on the work performed and the material used. Management has a process in place to determine which costs qualify for capitalization, which requires judgment. For the year-ended December 31, 2022, the Company capitalized costs of $505.3 million.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to direct costs that are capitalized to self-constructed property and equipment (including concession assets) is a critical audit matter are (i) the significance of direct costs and complexities in self-constructed property and equipment (including concession assets); (ii) the significant judgment by management in determining whether direct costs qualify for capitalization; and (iii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating evidence related to the capitalization of direct costs.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the capitalization of direct costs to self-constructed property and equipment (including concession assets). These procedures also included, among others, selecting a sample of direct costs and (i) obtaining evidence to support the accuracy of capitalized additions to self-constructed properties based on the work performed and the material used and (ii) evaluating whether these costs qualify for capitalization.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of the Business

Kansas City Southern (“KCS” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a holding company with principal operations in rail transportation.

On September 15, 2021, KCS and CP entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) and on December 14, 2021, CP acquired the outstanding common and preferred stock of KCS. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of KCS that was outstanding immediately prior to the merger was converted into the right to receive (1) 2.884 common shares of CP and (2) $90 in cash (together, the “Merger Consideration”), and each share of preferred stock, par value $25 per share, that was outstanding immediately prior to the merger was converted into the right to receive $37.50 in cash. The Merger Consideration value received by KCS stockholders was $301.20 per KCS common share. As CP acquired the outstanding common and preferred stock of KCS, earnings per share data is not presented because the Company does not have any outstanding or issued publicly traded stock. The merger is further discussed in Note 3, Merger Agreement.

The Company is engaged in the freight rail transportation business operating through a single coordinated rail network under one reportable business segment. The Company generates revenues and cash flows by providing its customers with freight delivery services both within its regions, and throughout North America through connections with other Class I rail carriers. KCS’s customers conduct business in a number of different industries, including electric-generating utilities, chemical and petroleum products, paper and forest products, agriculture and mineral products, automotive products, and intermodal transportation.

The primary subsidiaries of the Company consist of the following:

•The Kansas City Southern Railway Company (“KCSR”), a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary. KCSR is a U.S. Class I railroad that services the midwest and southeast regions of the United States;

•Kansas City Southern de México, S.A. de C.V. (“KCSM”), a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary which operates under the rights granted by the concession acquired from the Mexican government in 1997 (the “Concession”) as described below;

•Mexrail, Inc. (“Mexrail”), a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary; which wholly owns The Texas Mexican Railway Company (“Tex-Mex”);

•Meridian Speedway, LLC (“MSLLC”), a seventy percent-owned consolidated affiliate. MSLLC owns the former KCSR rail line between Meridian, Mississippi and Shreveport, Louisiana, which is the portion of the rail line between Dallas, Texas and Meridian known as the “Meridian Speedway”.

Including equity investments in:

•Panama Canal Railway Company (“PCRC”), a fifty percent-owned unconsolidated affiliate which provides ocean to ocean freight and passenger services along the Panama Canal;

•TFCM, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“TCM”), a forty-five percent-owned unconsolidated affiliate that operates a bulk liquid terminal in San Luis Potosí, Mexico;

•Ferrocarril y Terminal del Valle de México, S.A. de C.V. (“FTVM”), a twenty-five percent-owned unconsolidated affiliate that provides railroad services as well as ancillary services in the greater Mexico City area; and

•PTC-220, LLC (“PTC-220”), a thirteen percent-owned unconsolidated affiliate that holds the licenses to large blocks of radio spectrum and other assets for positive train control.

The KCSM Concession. KCSM holds a concession (the “Concession”) from the Mexican government until June 2047, which is renewable under certain conditions for additional periods of up to 50 years under the Concession. The Concession is to provide freight transportation services over north-east rail lines which are a primary commercial corridor of the Mexican railroad system. KCSM has the right to use, but does not own, all track and buildings that are necessary for the rail lines’

11

operation. KCSM is required to pay the Mexican government an annual concession duty equal to 1.25% of gross revenues during the Concession period. On July 14, 2022, 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 related infrastructure in an amount not to exceed Ps.4.0 billion (approximately $200.0 million USD). In exchange for the investment, the SICT agreed to amend KCSM’s Concession Title effective July 14, 2022, to extend the exclusivity rights granted to KCSM (subject to certain trackage and haulage rights granted to other concessionaires) for an additional period of 10 years. Under this amendment, KCSM’s exclusivity will now expire in 2037.

Employees and Labor Relations.KCSR participates in industry-wide multi-employer bargaining as a member of the National Carriers’ Conference Committee, as well as local bargaining for agreements that are limited to KCSR's property. Approximately 71% of KCSR employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. During 2022, 5-year agreements were reached voluntarily or through the legislation process covering all of the participating U.S. unions for the 2020 national bargaining round.

KCSM union employees are covered by one labor agreement, which was signed on April 16, 2012, between KCSM Servicios S.A. de C.V., a previously wholly-owned subsidiary of KCS that was merged into KCSM in 2021, and the Sindicato de Trabajadores Ferrocarrileros de la República Mexicana (“Mexican Railroad Union”). Upon the merger between KCSM Servicios and KCSM, these union employees continue to be covered under this existing labor agreement, which remains in effect during the period of the Concession, for the purpose of regulating the relationship between the parties. Approximately 76% of KCSM employees are covered by this labor agreement.

Union labor negotiations have not historically resulted in any strike, boycott, or other disruption in the Company’s business operations.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented using the accrual basis of accounting and include the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The equity method of accounting is used for all entities in which the Company or its subsidiaries have significant influence, but not a controlling interest. The Company evaluates less-than-majority-owned investments for consolidation pursuant to consolidation and variable interest entity guidance. The Company does not have any less-than-majority-owned investments requiring consolidation.

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. The standard is intended to increase transparency of government assistance by requiring disclosures of the following: (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on the entity’s financial statements. This ASU was effective for the Company on January 1, 2022 and the Company adopted the ASU prospectively. See Note 7, Property and Equipment for the newly required disclosure.

Use of Estimates. The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management 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 financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include those related to the recoverability and useful lives of assets and income taxes. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates.

12

Revenue Recognition. The primary performance obligation for the Company is to move customers’ freight from an origin to a destination. A performance obligation is created when a customer under a transportation contract or public tariff submits a bill of lading for the transport of goods. The Company recognizes revenue proportionally as a shipment moves from origin to destination, using the distance shipped to measure progress, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit over time. Related expenses are recognized as incurred. Revenue associated with in-transit shipments at period end is recognized based on the distance shipped as of the balance sheet date. Payment is received at the time or shortly after the performance obligation is satisfied.

The transaction price is generally in the form of a fixed fee determined at the inception of the transportation contract or the inception of the bill of lading. Certain customer agreements have variable consideration that are based on milestone achievements in the form of rebates, discounts or incentives. The Company makes judgments to determine whether the variable consideration is probable of occurring and should be included in the estimated transaction price at the beginning of the period to apply a more consistent rate throughout the year based on an analysis of historical experience with the customer, forecasted shipments and other economic indicators. The Company adjusts the estimate on a quarterly basis.

Other revenues, including switching, storage, and demurrage are distinct services and are recognized as services are performed or as contractual obligations are fulfilled. The consideration for other revenue is allocated between the separate services based upon the stand-alone transaction price.

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss). For financial reporting purposes, foreign subsidiaries maintain records in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency. The dollar is the currency that reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to the entity. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Mexican pesos (“pesos” or “Ps.”) are remeasured into U.S. dollars (“dollars”) using current exchange rates. The difference between the exchange rate on the date of the transaction and the exchange rate on the settlement date, or balance sheet date if not settled, is included in the income statement as foreign exchange gain or loss.

Cash Equivalents. Short-term liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable, net. Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts as determined by historical experience and adjusted for economic uncertainties, known trends, and reasonable supportable forecasts. Accounts are charged to the allowance when a customer enters bankruptcy, when an account has been transferred to a collection agent or submitted for legal action, or when a customer is significantly past due and all available means of collection have been exhausted. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the allowance for estimated credit losses was $12.2 million and $12.1 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, bad debt expense was $8.7 million, $3.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Materials and Supplies. Materials and supplies consisting of diesel fuel, items to be used in the maintenance of rolling stock and items to be used in the maintenance or construction of road property are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

Derivative Instruments. Derivatives are measured at fair value and recorded on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded either through current earnings or as other comprehensive income (loss), depending on hedge designation. Gains and losses on derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified into earnings in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flow of the hedged item.

Property and Equipment (including Concession Assets). KCS capitalizes costs for self-constructed additions and improvements to property including direct labor and material, indirect costs, and interest during long-term construction projects. For purchased assets, all costs necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use are capitalized. Expenditures that significantly increase asset values, productive capacity, efficiency, safety or extend useful lives are capitalized. Repair and

13

maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company has a process to determine which costs qualify for capitalization, which requires judgment.

KCS capitalizes certain costs incurred with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stage, as well as maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred.

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated primarily on the group method of depreciation, which the Company believes closely approximates a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets measured in years. The group method of depreciation applies a composite rate to classes of similar assets rather than to individual assets. Composite depreciation rates are based upon the Company’s estimates of the expected average useful lives of assets as well as expected net salvage value at the end of their useful lives. In developing these estimates, the Company utilizes periodic depreciation studies performed by an independent engineering firm. Depreciation rate studies are performed at least every three years for equipment and at least six years for road property (rail, ties, ballast, etc.). The Company completed depreciation studies for KCSR in 2021 and KCSM in 2020. The impact of the KCSR study resulted in approximately $12.0 million in additional depreciation expense in 2022. The impact of the KCSM study was immaterial to the consolidated financial results for all periods presented.

Under the group method of depreciation, the cost of railroad property and equipment (net of salvage or sales proceeds) retired or replaced in the normal course of business is charged to accumulated depreciation with no gain or loss recognized. Gains or losses on dispositions of land or non-group property and abnormal retirements of railroad property are recognized through income. A retirement of railroad property would be considered abnormal if the cause of the retirement is unusual in nature, is significant in amount, and varies significantly from the retirement profile identified through the depreciation studies.

Costs incurred by the Company to acquire the Concession rights and related assets, as well as subsequent improvements to the Concession assets, are capitalized and amortized using the group method of depreciation over the lesser of the current expected Concession term, including probable renewal of an additional 50-year term, or the estimated useful lives of the assets and rights.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment and written down to fair value when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the long-lived assets, the carrying value would be reduced to the estimated fair value. Future cash flow estimates for an impairment review would be based on the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which are the Company’s U.S. and Mexican operations. During the year ended December 31, 2020, $13.6 million of expense was recognized related to costs previously capitalized for the development of internal-use software. The development of the software was cancelled prior to completion and had no further use. Other than the abnormal impairment related to the implementation of Precision Scheduled Railroading (“PSR”) for the year ended 2020, and the aforementioned software impairment, management did not identify any indicators of impairment for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Leases. The Company leases transportation equipment, as well as office and other operating facilities, under various finance and operating leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit rate is not readily determinable in most of the Company’s lease agreements, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1 year to 7 years, which may include the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. The Company does not separately identify lease and nonlease components (i.e. maintenance costs) except for fleet vehicles and real estate. The Company does not have lease agreements

14

with residual value guarantees, sale leaseback terms or material restrictive covenants. Additionally, short-term leases and leases with variable lease costs are immaterial, and the Company does not have any sublease arrangements.

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in business combinations. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the goodwill balance was $13.2 million, which is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed at least annually, or more frequently as indicators warrant, for impairment. An impairment loss would be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units’ fair values. The Company performed its annual impairment review for goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021, and concluded there was no impairment.

Investments and Impairment. The Company reviews equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This determination requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Company considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of these investments. If it is determined that an indicator of impairment exists, the Company assesses whether the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. If the carrying value of the investment exceeds its fair value, the Company will evaluate, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the carrying value is greater than the fair value, and KCS’s intent and ability to hold, or plans to sell, the investment. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flow factors. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new carrying basis in the investment is established. No impairment charges were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Non-financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to recognition in the financial statements only in certain circumstances. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based upon the observability of inputs. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Environmental Liabilities. The Company recognizes liabilities for remediation and restoration costs when the Company’s obligation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation and restoration are not discounted to their present value. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is deemed probable. Costs of ongoing compliance activities related to current operations are expensed as incurred.

Personal Injury Claims. Personal injury claims in excess of self-insurance levels are insured up to certain coverage amounts, depending on the type of claim and year of occurrence. The Company’s personal injury liability is based on actuarial studies performed on an undiscounted basis by an independent third party actuarial firm and reviewed by management. The liability is based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Adjustments to the liability are

15

reflected as operating expenses in the period in which the adjustments are known. Legal fees related to personal injury claims are recognized in operating expense in the period incurred.

Health and Welfare and Postemployment Benefits. The Company provides certain medical, life and other postemployment benefits to certain active employees and retirees. The Company uses actuaries to assist management in measuring the benefit obligation and cost based on the current plan provisions, employee demographics, and assumptions about financial and demographic factors affecting the probability, timing and amount of expected future benefit payments. Significant assumptions include the discount rate, rate of increase in compensation levels, and the health care cost trend rate. Actuarial gains and losses determined at the measurement date (December 31) are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of income.

Share-Based Compensation. The Company accounted for all share-based compensation in accordance with fair value recognition provisions. Under this method, compensation expense was measured at grant date fair value and recognized over the requisite service period in which the award was earned. Forfeitures were recognized as they occurred. The Company had historically issued treasury stock to settle share-based awards.

Income Taxes. Deferred income tax effects of transactions reported in different periods for financial reporting and income tax return purposes are recognized under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences of the deferred income tax items and immediately recognizes changes in income tax laws in the year of enactment.

The Company has recognized a deferred tax asset, net of a valuation allowance, for net operating loss and capital loss carryovers. The Company projects sufficient future taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset recorded less the valuation allowance. These projections take into consideration assumptions about future income, future capital expenditures and inflation rates. If assumptions or actual conditions change, the deferred tax asset, net of the valuation allowance, will be adjusted to properly reflect the expected tax benefit.

Note 3. Merger Agreement

On September 15, 2021, KCS and CP entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) and on December 14, 2021, CP acquired the outstanding common and preferred stock of KCS. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of KCS that was outstanding immediately prior to the merger was converted into the right to receive (1) 2.884 common shares of CP and (2) $90 in cash (together, the “Merger Consideration”), and each share of preferred stock, par value $25 per share, that was outstanding immediately prior to the merger was converted into the right to receive $37.50 in cash. The Merger Consideration value received by KCS stockholders was $301.20 per KCS common share.

The merger transaction was completed through a series of mergers as outlined in the Merger Agreement. These mergers ultimately resulted in KCS being merged with and into Cygnus Merger Sub 1 Corporation (“Surviving Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CP, with Surviving Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Surviving Merger Sub was renamed “Kansas City Southern” and as successor company of KCS, continued to own the assets of KCS. Immediately following the consummation of the mergers, CP caused the contribution, directly and indirectly, of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Surviving Merger Sub, as successor to KCS, to be deposited into an independent, irrevocable voting trust (the “Voting Trust”) under a voting trust agreement (the “Voting Trust Agreement”) approved by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (“STB”), pending receipt of the final and non-appealable approval or exemption by the STB pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 11323 et seq., of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (“STB Final Approval”). The Voting Trust prevents CP, or any affiliate of CP, from controlling or having the power to control KCS prior to STB Final Approval. Following receipt of STB Final Approval, the Voting Trust will be terminated and CP will acquire control over KCS’s railroad operations. STB Final Approval is expected to be granted in the first quarter of 2023, subject to the regulatory review process.

16

On December 14, 2021, the merger of KCS and Surviving Merger Sub was accounted for as a recapitalization of KCS’s equity. Upon STB Final Approval, the transaction will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. See more details regarding the recapitalization in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 14, Stockholder(s)’ Equity.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, periodic cash distributions may be made to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CP based upon cash generated, the timing of capital expenditures and working capital needs of the Company. During 2022, KCS paid cash dividends of $880.0 million to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CP.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, KCS reported $46.6 million of merger-related costs. These merger costs primarily related to incentive compensation costs. For the year ended December 31, 2021, KCS reported $264.0 million of merger-related costs. These merger costs primarily related to bankers’ fees, compensation and benefits costs, and legal fees. These costs were recognized in merger costs, net within the consolidated statements of income.

Note 4. Restructuring Charges

As revenues declined in the second quarter of 2020 due to the novel coronavirus and its variants (“COVID-19”), the Company implemented a variety of cost-saving measures and accelerated Precision Scheduled Railroading (“PSR”) initiatives. In June of 2020, the Company offered a voluntary separation program, which resulted in a restructuring charge of $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, consisting of severance and benefit costs.

During 2020, the Company recognized approximately $7.3 million in additional restructuring charges related to PSR and the purchase and disposal of equipment.

Contract Balances

The amount of revenue recognized in 2022 from performance obligations partially satisfied in the previous year was $17.9 million. The performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of December 31, 2022, were $25.8 million, which represents in-transit shipments that are fully satisfied the following month.

A receivable is any unconditional right to consideration, and is recognized as shipments have been completed and the relating performance obligation has been fully satisfied. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the accounts receivable, net balance was $543.6 million and $271.0 million, respectively. Contract assets represent a conditional right to consideration in exchange for goods or services. The Company did not have any contract assets at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Contract liabilities represent consideration received in advance from customers, and are recognized as revenue over time as the relating performance obligation is satisfied. The amount of revenue recognized in 2022 that was included in the opening contract liability balance was $34.1 million. The Company has recognized contract liabilities within the accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities financial statement captions on the balance sheet.

Concession assets, net of accumulated amortization of $797.3 million and $744.8 million, totaled $2,472.0 million and $2,459.3 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment (including Concession assets) totaled $390.9 million, $365.8 million and $357.9 million, for 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

The Company has historically received assistance from governmental entities, typically in the form of cash, for purposes of making improvements to its rail network as part of public safety and/or economic revitalization initiatives. The governmental entity generally specifies how the monetary assistance is to be spent, and may include limited conditions requiring the Company to return the assistance. The Company accounts for this assistance received as reductions to property and equipment in the period in which the improvement is made, with the assistance being amortized as an offset to depreciation expense over the life of the improvement. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the total governmental assistance received, net of accumulated amortization, was $34.8 million and $37.3 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, governmental assistance amortization was $2.5 million.

In 2020, $13.6 million of expense was recognized related to costs previously capitalized for the development of internal-use software. The development of the software was cancelled prior to completion and had no further use. The expense was recognized in write-off of software development costs in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s assets and liabilities recognized at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy as described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and consist of foreign currency forward contracts and treasury lock agreements, which are classified as Level 2 valuations. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative financial instrument positions based upon pricing models using inputs observed from actively quoted markets and also takes into consideration the contract terms as well as other inputs, including market currency exchange rates.

The Company’s short-term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings. The carrying value of the short-term financial instruments approximates their fair value.

The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using quoted market prices when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on current market interest rates for debt with similar maturities and credit quality. The carrying value of the Company’s debt was $3,779.6 million and $3,777.6 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. If the Company’s debt were measured at fair value, the fair value measurements of the individual debt instruments would have been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 10. Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into derivative transactions in certain situations based on management’s assessment of current market conditions and perceived risks. Management intends to respond to evolving business and market conditions and in doing so, may enter into such transactions as deemed appropriate.

Credit Risk. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk. The Company manages this risk by limiting its counterparties to large financial institutions which meet the Company’s credit rating standards and have an established banking relationship with the Company. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not expect any losses as a result of default of its counterparties.

Interest Rate Derivative Instruments. During 2020, the Company executed six 30-year treasury lock agreements with an aggregate notional value of $650.0 million and a weighted-average interest rate of 1.58%. The purpose of the treasury locks was to hedge the U.S. Treasury benchmark interest rate associated with future interest payments related to the anticipated refinancing of the $444.7 million principal amount of 3.00% senior notes due May 15, 2023 (the “3.00% Senior Notes”) and the $200.0 million principal amount of 3.85% senior notes due November 15, 2023 (the “3.85% Senior Notes”). The Company designated the treasury locks as cash flow hedges and recorded unrealized gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

During the fourth quarter of 2022, KCS determined the forecasted refinancing of the 3.00% Senior Notes and the 3.85% Senior Notes was no longer considered probable to occur as financing costs have risen and the Company plans to extinguish the maturing debt with cash on hand and cash generated from operations. Accordingly, the Company removed the cash flow hedge designation to all tranches and derecognized the related unrealized gain in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The treasury lock instruments were settled and the Company recognized the gain on settlement of the interest rate derivative instruments of $259.3 million within the consolidated statements of income. The settlement of the treasury lock agreements was classified as an investing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows.

In May 2017, the Company executed four treasury lock agreements with an aggregate notional value of $275.0 million and a weighted-average interest rate of 2.85%. The purpose of the treasury locks was to hedge the U.S. Treasury benchmark interest rate associated with future interest payments related to the anticipated refinancing of the $275.0 million, 2.35% senior notes due May 15, 2020 (the “2.35% Senior Notes”). The Company designated the treasury locks as cash flow hedges and recorded unrealized gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). During the fourth quarter of 2019, KCS issued $425.0 million principal amount of 2.875% senior notes due November 15, 2029 (the “2.875% Senior Notes”), effectively completing the refinancing of the 2.35% Senior Notes, and settled the treasury lock agreements, resulting in cash paid of $25.8 million. This amount was included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is beingamortized to interest expense over the life of the new 2.875% Senior Notes, increasing the effective interest rate on the notes to 3.60%.

24

Foreign Currency Derivative Instruments. The Company’s Mexican subsidiaries have net U.S. dollar-denominated monetary assets which, for Mexican income tax purposes, are subject to periodic revaluation based on changes in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. This revaluation creates fluctuations in the Company’s Mexican income tax expense and the amount of income taxes paid in Mexico. The Company hedges its exposure to this cash tax risk by entering into foreign currency forward contracts, which involve the Company’s purchase of Mexican pesos and/or U.S. dollars at an agreed-upon weighted-average exchange rate to each U.S dollar or Mexican Peso.

Below is a summary of the Company’s 2022, 2021 and 2020 foreign currency derivative contracts (amounts in millions, except Ps./USD):

The Company has not designated any of the foreign currency derivative contracts as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The Company measures the foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value each period and recognizes any change in fair value in foreign exchange gain (loss) within the consolidated statements of income. The cash flows associated with these instruments is classified as an operating activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Offsetting. The Company’s treasury lock agreements and foreign currency forward contracts are executed with counterparties in the U.S. and are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements that include standard netting arrangements. Asset and liability positions from contracts with the same counterparty are net settled upon maturity/expiration and presented on a net basis in the consolidated balance sheets prior to settlement.

Revolving Credit Facility

KCS, with certain of its domestic subsidiaries named therein as guarantors, has a $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with a $25.0 million standby letter of credit facility which, if utilized, constitutes usage under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility serves as a backstop for KCS’s commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) which generally serves as the Company’s primary means of short-term funding.

27

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates. Depending on the Company’s credit rating, the margin that KCS would pay above the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) at any point is between 1.000% and 1.750%. As of December 31, 2022, the margin was 1.25% based on KCS’s current credit rating.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by KCSR, together with certain domestic subsidiaries named therein as guarantors and matures on March 8, 2024. The Revolving Credit Facility agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that are customary for credit agreements of this type. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the termination of the commitments and the acceleration of the repayment of any outstanding principal balance on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Commercial Paper Program.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, KCS had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

SeniorNotes

The Company’s senior notes include certain covenants that are customary for these types of debt instruments issued by borrowers with similar credit ratings.

The KCS notes are KCS’s general unsecured senior obligations and are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured senior basis by each current and future domestic subsidiary of KCS that from time to time guarantees the Revolving Credit Facility or any other debt of KCS or any of KCS’s significant subsidiaries that is a guarantor (collectively, the “Note Guarantors”).

KCSR’s senior notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured senior basis, by KCS and each current and future domestic subsidiary of KCS that guarantees the Revolving Credit Facility or certain other debt of KCS or a note guarantor. KCSR’s senior notes and the note guarantees rank pari passu in right of payment with KCSR’s, KCS’s and the Note Guarantors’ existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations.

KCSM’s senior notes are denominated in U.S. dollars; are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations; rank pari passu in right of payment with KCSM’s existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and are senior in right of payment to KCSM’s future subordinated indebtedness.

Senior notes are redeemable at the issuer’s option, in whole or in part, at any time, by paying the greater of either 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed and a formula price based on interest rates prevailing at the time of redemption and time remaining to maturity, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to, but excluding the redemption date. In addition, KCSM’s senior notes are redeemable, in whole but not in part, at KCSM’s option at any time at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus any accrued unpaid interest in the event of certain changes in the Mexican withholding tax rate.

RRIF Loan Agreements

The following loans were made under the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (“RRIF”) Program administered by the Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”):

KCSR RRIF Loan Agreement. On February 21, 2012, KCSR entered into an agreement with the FRA to borrow $54.6 million to be used to reimburse KCSR for a portion of the purchase price of thirty new locomotives (the “Locomotives”) acquired by KCSR in the fourth quarter of 2011. The loan bears interest at 2.96% annually and the principal balance amortizes quarterly with a final maturity of February 24, 2037. The obligations under the financing agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in the Locomotives and certain related rights. In addition, the Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of the amounts due under the financing agreement and certain related agreements. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the repayment of any outstanding principal balance of the loan.

28

Tex-Mex RRIF Loan Agreement. On June 28, 2005, Tex-Mex entered into an agreement with the FRA to borrow $50.0 million to be used for infrastructure improvements in order to accommodate growing freight rail traffic related to the NAFTA corridor. The loan bears interest at 4.29% annually and the principal balance amortizes quarterly with a final maturity of July 13, 2030. The loan is guaranteed by Mexrail, which has issued a pledge agreement in favor of the lender equal to the gross revenues earned by Mexrail on per-car fees on traffic crossing the International Rail Bridge in Laredo, Texas. In addition, the Company has agreed to guarantee the scheduled principal payment installments due to the FRA from Tex-Mex under the loan agreement on a rolling five-year basis.

Debt Covenants Compliance

The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of December 31, 2022.

Other Debt Provisions

Certain loan agreements and debt instruments entered into or guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries provide for default in the event of a specified change in control of the Company or particular subsidiaries of the Company.

Note 13. Income Taxes

Current income tax expense represents the amounts expected to be reported on the Company’s income tax returns, and deferred tax expense or benefit represents the change in net deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded as appropriate to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount considered likely to be realized.

_____________________

(i)The Company’s Mexican subsidiaries have net U.S. dollar-denominated monetary assets which, for Mexican income tax purposes, are subject to periodic revaluation based on changes in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. This revaluation creates fluctuations in the Company’s Mexican income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income and the amount of income taxes paid in Mexico. The Company also has net monetary assets denominated in Mexican pesos, that are subject to periodic re-measurement and settlement that creates fluctuations in foreign currency gains and losses in the consolidated statements of income. The Company hedges its net exposure to variations in earnings by entering into foreign currency forward contracts. The foreign currency forward contracts involve the Company’s agreement to buy or sell pesos at an agreed-upon exchange rate on a future date. Refer to Note 10, Derivative Instruments for further information.

Difference Attributable to Foreign Investments. The Company asserts that all foreign earnings will be indefinitely reinvested to the extent of local needs and earnings that would be distributed in a taxable manner. The Company therefore intends to limit distributions to earnings previously taxed in the U.S., or earnings that would qualify for the 100 percent dividends received deduction and earnings that would not result in any significant foreign taxes. Therefore, the Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability on its investment in foreign subsidiaries.

Tax Carryovers. The Company has U.S. state net operating losses which are carried forward from 10 years to indefinitely and are analyzed each year to determine the likelihood of realization. The state loss carryovers arise from both combined and separate tax filings from as early as 2001 and may expire as early as December 31, 2023. The state loss carryover at December 31, 2022 was $64.9 million resulting in a state deferred tax asset of $7.2 million.

The Mexico federal loss carryovers at December 31, 2022, were $27.0 million resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $7.9 million, and, if not used, will begin to expire in 2026. A deferred tax asset was recognized in prior periods for the expected future tax benefit of these losses which will be carried forward to reduce only Mexican income tax payable in future years.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, was $2.1 million and $7.3 million, respectively, primarily attributable to state net operating loss and capital loss carryovers. The Company believes it is more

31

likely than not that reversals of existing temporary differences that will produce future taxable income and the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, related to loss carryovers.

Uncertain Tax Positions. The accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance requires the Company to recognize in the consolidated financial statements the benefit of a tax position only if the impact is more likely than not of being sustained on audit based on the technical merits of the position. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions):

	2022		2021
Balance at January 1,	$	2.2	$	2.2
Additions for tax positions of prior years	1.3		—
Reductions for settlement with taxing authorities	(2.2)		—
Balance at December 31,	$	1.3	$	2.2

The unrecognized tax benefit would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized, and is not expected to change in the next twelve months.

Interest, inflation and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included in income before taxes on the consolidated statements of income. Accrued interest, inflation and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits was $2.6 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest, inflation and penalty expense was $2.6 million and less than $0.1 million for 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Tax Contingencies. Tax returns filed in the U.S. for periods after 2017 and in Mexico for periods after 2014 remain open to examination by the taxing authority. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has completed its examination of the 2017 deemed mandatory repatriation tax included in the 2017 U.S. federal tax return and the 2016 U.S. federal tax return with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements. The Servicio de Administración Tributaria (“SAT”), the Mexican equivalent of the IRS, has initiated examinations of the KCSM 2015 through 2020 Mexico tax returns and the Financiera Inspira, S.A. de C.V. SOFOM, E.N.R. 2016 and 2017 Mexico tax returns. The Company does not expect that these examinations will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. During 2017, the Company received audit assessments from the SAT for the KCSM 2009 and 2010 Mexico tax returns. The Company commenced administrative actions with the SAT and the audit assessments were subsequently nullified. In the third quarter of 2018, the SAT issued new assessments and the Company filed administrative appeals with the SAT. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company received an audit assessment from the SAT for the KCSM 2013 Mexico tax return and filed an administrative appeal of the assessment in the second quarter of 2022.

On April 13, 2022, the SAT used an electronic tax mailbox to deliver an audit assessment on the 2014 KCSM tax returns, which as of December 31, 2022 was Ps.5.7 billion (approximately $296.0 million USD) of tax, interest, penalties and inflation (the “2014 Audit Assessment”). In 2014, KCSM filed an amparo lawsuit with the district court, objecting to the SAT’s electronic accounting requirements, including the SAT’s use of the electronic tax mailbox, and KCSM was granted a permanent injunction in 2015 preventing the SAT from delivering any notification of assessments using the electronic tax mailbox. The permanent injunction remained in effect through the date the SAT issued the 2014 Audit Assessment. The Company became aware of the 2014 Audit Assessment on June 30, 2022 and based on the permanent injunction on the electronic accounting requirements, the Company believed it had thirty business days from that date to file an appeal. On July 7, 2022, the Company filed an administrative appeal of the 2014 Audit Assessment with the SAT. During the third quarter of 2022, the SAT dismissed the administrative appeal of the 2014 Audit Assessment on the basis it wasn’t filed timely. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company filed a nullification lawsuit in Mexican court challenging the SAT dismissal of the administrative appeal of the 2014 Audit Assessment. The Company believes that it has strong legal arguments in its favor and it is more likely than not that the administrative appeal of the 2014 Audit Assessment was timely filed.

32

The 2014 Audit Assessment includes tax positions where KCSM has prior favorable court decisions or strong legal arguments in its favor. Management believes it is more likely than not it will prevail in any challenge of the 2014 Audit Assessment. Historically, the Company has not been required to pay to settle previous SAT audit assessments or has settled SAT audit assessments for an immaterial amount.

On July 1, 2022, the SAT froze KCSM’s Mexico bank accounts without any request for payment of the 2014 Audit Assessment or notification of the freeze. The Company filed an amparo lawsuit challenging the legality of the bank account freeze. The district court issued a permanent injunction requiring the SAT to remove the freeze subject to KCSM posting a performance bond or other collateral upon the SAT demonstrating a tax obligation exists. In August 2022, KCSM posted a performance bond in the amount of Ps.5.6 billion (approximately $291.0 million USD) and the bank account freeze was removed. On January 5, 2023, the administrative court granted KCSM a permanent injunction to prevent any collection by the SAT. The freeze and cost of obtaining the performance bond did not have a significant impact on KCSM’s cash flows or operations. The provision of the performance bond is not an agreement or concession with regard to the 2014 Audit Assessment and in no way impacts KCSM’s ability to further defend its tax position.

The Company believes that it has strong legal arguments in its favor and it is more likely than not that it will prevail in any challenge of the assessments.

Refundable Mexican Value Added Tax. KCSM is not required to charge its customers value added tax (“VAT”) on international import or export transportation services, which prior to 2022 resulted in KCSM paying more VAT on its expenses than it collected from customers. These excess VAT payments are refundable by the Mexican government. Prior to 2019, Mexican companies could offset their monthly refundable VAT balance with other tax obligations. In January 2019, Mexico tax reform eliminated the ability to offset other tax obligations with refundable VAT. From 2019 through 2021, KCSM has generated a refundable VAT balance and filed refund claims with the SAT, which have not been refunded.

In November 2021, changes to the VAT law were announced and became effective beginning January 1, 2022. These changes reduced the recoverability of VAT paid by KCSM on its expenditures that support international import transportation service revenues that are not subject to a VAT charge. VAT that is unrecoverable from the Mexican government results in incremental VAT expense for KCSM. Beginning in 2022, KCSM changed certain service offering to either require VAT to be charged to customers on revenue, or impose a rate increase to offset the incremental VAT expense. These measures implemented by KCSM increased the VAT to be collected from customers and payable to the Mexican government.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the KCSM refundable VAT balance was $78.9 million and $152.2 million, respectively. KCSM has prior favorable Mexican court decisions and a legal opinion supporting its right under Mexican law to recover the refundable VAT balance from the Mexican government and believes the VAT to be fully recoverable. KCSM will recover the refundable VAT balance as a VAT billed to customers exceeds creditable VAT charged by vendors. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, $78.9 million and $78.0 million, respectively, of the refundable VAT balance was classified as a short-term asset.

Note 14. Stockholder(s)’ Equity

Capital Stock. The Company had 100 shares of $0.01 par, common stock authorized, issued, and outstanding at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Merger Agreement. As disclosed in Note 3, Merger Agreement, the merger transaction was completed through a series of mergers as outlined in the Merger Agreement. These mergers ultimately resulted in KCS being merged with and into Surviving Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of CP, with Surviving Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity. On December 14, 2021, the merger of KCS and Surviving Merger Sub was accounted for as a recapitalization of KCS’s equity. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, KCS’s issued and outstanding common stock and preferred stock was replaced by the common stock of Surviving Merger Sub, which consisted of 100 issued and outstanding shares at $0.01 par value with the remaining difference

33

being reclassified to additional paid-in capital. Upon final control approval from the STB, the transaction will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting.

Note 15. Share-Based Compensation

In March 2021, pursuant to the merger agreement in effect at that time, the number of shares available to grant from the 2017 equity incentive plan (“2017 Plan”) was limited to a pool of 64,051 shares to be granted in the form of restricted share awards with a vesting period of not less than 1 year. The pool expired in August 2021 and no further awards were granted. In December 2021, upon the effective date of the merger, the 2017 Plan was terminated.

On December 14, 2021, upon CP’s acquisition of the Company’s common stock per the Merger Agreement, the vesting of certain unvested share-based compensation arrangements of the Company was accelerated. These awards included unvested restricted shares awarded prior to the initial merger announcement on March 21, 2021, and unvested options, which were cash settled at the Merger Consideration value less the option’s exercise price. Unvested restricted shares awarded after the initial announcement of the merger on March 21, 2021, were replaced with a fixed, cash-based award that entitled the holder thereof, upon vesting at the end of the requisite service period, to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration. Unvested performance share awards were replaced with a fixed, cash-based award that entitles the holder thereof, upon vesting at the end of the award’s original, three-year requisite service period, to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration value of $301.20 for each performance share award held multiplied by the maximum performance factor of 200% of the original target award. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recognized $55.9 million of compensation expense from the accelerated vesting, increase in fair value and replacement of awards into a fixed, cash-based award in merger costs, net within the consolidated statements of income. As the equity incentive plan was terminated in 2021, no further equity or liability classified awards occurred. Therefore, the following disclosures are for prior year awards only.

Stock Options. The exercise price for options granted under the equity incentive plans equaled the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Options generally had a 3-year vesting period and were exercisable over the 10-year contractual term. The grant date fair value was recorded to expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

34

The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used were as follows:

	2021			2020
Expected dividend yield	0.83		%	1.04		%
Expected volatility	30.86		%	26.07		%
Risk-free interest rate	0.74		%	1.27		%
Expected term (years)	6.0			5.7
Weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted	$	58.74		$	37.79

The expected dividend yield was calculated as the ratio of dividends paid per share of common stock to the stock price on the date of grant. The expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price over a term equal to the estimated life of the options. The risk-free interest rate was determined based on U.S. Treasury rates for instruments with terms approximating the expected term of the options granted, which represents the period of time the awards are expected to be outstanding and based on the historical experience of similar awards.

Excluding the cost recognized in connection with the merger, compensation cost of $3.9 million and $4.0 million was recognized for stock option awards for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of income was $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Upon CP’s acquisition of the Company’s common stock per the Merger Agreement, the unvested stock options were fully vested, and the Company recognized an additional $12.3 million in merger costs, net within the consolidated statements of income for the acceleration of vesting and the increase in fair value of the awards to the Merger Consideration of $301.20 less the applicable option’s exercise price. The outstanding and unexercised options at the acquisition date were then cash settled by the Company for approximately $75.2 million prior to December 31, 2021, with a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital. The income tax benefit recognized within the consolidated statements of income from cash settling the stock options was $15.6 million.

Additional information regarding stock option exercises appears in the table below (in millions):

	2021		2020
Aggregate grant-date fair value of stock options vested	$	8.5	$	3.7
Intrinsic value of stock options exercised	34.9		13.9
Cash received from option exercises	19.9		9.9
Tax benefit from options exercised during the annual period	7.8		3.5

Nonvested Stock. The plan provided for the granting of nonvested stock awards to officers and other designated employees. The grant date fair value was based on the closing market price on the date of the grant. These awards are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates during the vesting period, which is generally 1 year or 5 years of vesting for employees. Awards granted to the Company’s directors vested immediately on date of grant. The grant date fair value of nonvested shares was recognized to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The fair value (at vest date) of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $59.2 million and $15.3 million, respectively.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of nonvested stock granted during 2021 and 2020 was $248.88 and $147.82, respectively. Excluding the cost recognized in connection with the Merger Agreement, compensation cost for nonvested stock

35

was $9.8 million and $10.5 million, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized within the consolidated statements of income was $2.4 million and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

For the nonvested stock granted prior to March 21, 2021, the awards were fully vested on December 3, 2021, at a price of $290.71 per share. The grantee received KCS common shares, net of shares withheld for taxes, based on the $290.71 price per share for each nonvested share held at that date. The acceleration of vesting resulted in $9.6 million of additional expense recognized in merger costs, net within the consolidated statements of income. The income tax benefit recognized from the acceleration of vesting was $2.4 million. Upon CP’s acquisition of the Company’s common stock per the Merger Agreement, the grantee received the per share Merger Consideration value for each KCS common share held. For the nonvested stock granted after March 21, 2021, each nonvested share was replaced with a cash-based award that entitles the holder to receive a fixed amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration value of $301.20 upon rendering of the requisite service. The remaining unamortized expense will be recognized to merger costs on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period, which is through 2026 and is subject to the terms of the original award agreement as modified by the Merger Agreement.

Performance Based Awards. The Company granted performance based nonvested stock awards during 2021 (the “2021 Awards”) and 2020 (the “2020 Awards”). The awards granted provided a target number of shares that vest at the end of a 3-year requisite service period following the grant date. In addition to the service condition, the number of nonvested shares to be received depended on the attainment of defined Company-wide performance goals based on operating ratio (“OR”) and return on invested capital (“ROIC”) over a 3-year performance period. The awards were also subject to a revenue growth multiplier based on a 3-year performance period calculated as defined in the related award agreement that can range from 80% to 120% of the award earned based on the OR and ROIC achieved. The number of nonvested shares ultimately earned would range between zero to 200% of the target award.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of performance based nonvested stock granted during 2021 and 2020 was $211.10 and $157.75, respectively. The Company expensed the grant date fair value of the awards which were probable of being earned over the performance periods. Excluding the cost recognized in connection with the Merger Agreement, compensation cost on performance based awards was $10.1 million and $8.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total income tax benefit recognized within the consolidated statements of income for performance based awards was $2.5 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31,2021 and 2020, respectively.

The fair value (at vest date) of shares vested for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $11.7 million, and $7.8 million, respectively.

Upon CP’s acquisition of the Company’s common stock per the Merger Agreement, the unvested performance share awards were replaced with a fixed, cash-based award that entitles the holder thereof, upon vesting at the end of the award’s original, three-year requisite service period, to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration value of $301.20 for each performance share award held multiplied by the maximum performance factor of 200% of the original target award. The increase in the fair value of the award and the number of awards to be issued resulted in additional expense of $34.0 million recognized in merger costs, net within the consolidated statements of income for the requisite service that had been provided as of December 31, 2021. The income tax benefit recognized for the additional expense was $10.7 million. The remaining unamortized expense will be recognized to merger costs over the remaining vesting period, which is through 2024 and is subject to the terms of the original award agreement as modified by the Merger Agreement.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) provided substantially all U.S. full-time employees of the Company, certain subsidiaries and certain other affiliated entities, with the right to subscribe to an aggregate of 4.0 million shares of common stock of the Company. Under the ESPP, eligible employees could contribute, through payroll deductions, up to 10% of their regular base compensation during six-month purchase periods at a purchase price equal to 85% of the closing market price on either the exercise date or the offering date, whichever was lower. The Company terminated its ESPP program upon entering into its initial merger agreement with CP in March 2021, thus only the January period was offered during 2021 and there were no remaining shares available for future ESPP offerings.

36

At the end of each purchase period, the accumulated deductions were applied toward the purchase of the Company’s common stock. Both the discount in grant price and the share option purchase price were valued to derive the award’s fair value. The awards vest and the expense was recognized ratably over the offering period.

The following table summarizes activity related to the various ESPP offerings:

	Exercise Date				Received from Employees(i) In millions
	Date Issued	Purchase Price		Shares Issued
January 2021 offering	July 1, 2021	$	170.83	18,046	$	3.1
July 2020 offering	January 5, 2021	$	122.91	23,292	$	2.9
January 2020 offering	July 2, 2020	$	126.90	23,709	$	3.0

_____________________

(i)Represents amounts received from employees through payroll deductions for share purchases under applicable offering.

The fair value of the ESPP stock purchase rights was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used for each of the respective periods were as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
		2021			2020
Expected dividend yield		0.88		%	1.07		%
Expected volatility		18.65		%	30.55		%
Risk-free interest rate		0.05		%	1.01		%
Expected term (years)		0.5			0.5
Weighted-average grant date fair value		$	40.40		$	35.14

Compensation expense of $0.7 million and $1.7 million was recognized for ESPP option awards for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies

Concession Duty. Under KCSM’s 50-year Concession, which could expire in 2047 unless extended, KCSM pays annual concession duty expense of 1.25% of gross revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the concession duty expense, which is recorded within materials and other in operating expenses, was $21.2 million, compared to $18.7 million and $17.4 million for the same periods in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Litigation. Occasionally, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings, regulatory examinations, investigations, administrative actions, and other legal matters, arising for the most part in the ordinary course of business, incidental to its operations. Included in these proceedings are various tort claims brought by current and former employees for job-related injuries and by third parties for injuries related to railroad operations. KCS aggressively defends these matters and has established liability provisions that management believes are adequate to cover expected costs. The outcome of litigation and other legal matters is always uncertain. KCS believes it has valid defenses to the legal matters currently pending against it, is defending itself vigorously, and has recorded accruals determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, where appropriate. In making a determination regarding accruals, using available information, KCS evaluates the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings to which it is a party to and records a loss contingency when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These subjective determinations are based on the

37

status of such legal or regulatory proceedings, the merits of KCS’s defenses and consultation with legal counsel. Actual outcomes of these legal and regulatory proceedings may materially differ from the current estimates. It is possible that resolution of one or more of the legal matters currently pending or threatened could result in losses material to KCS’s consolidated results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Environmental Liabilities. The Company’s U.S. operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. The major U.S. environmental laws to which the Company is subject include, among others, the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA,” also known as the Superfund law), the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act. CERCLA can impose joint and several liabilities for cleanup and investigation costs, without regard to fault or legality of the original conduct, on current and predecessor owners and operators of a site, as well as those who generate, or arrange for the disposal of, hazardous substances. The Company does not believe that compliance with the requirements imposed by the environmental legislation will impair its competitive capability or result in any material additional capital expenditures, operating or maintenance costs. The Company is, however, subject to environmental remediation costs as described in the following paragraphs.

The Company’s Mexico operations are subject to Mexican federal and state laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment through the establishment of standards for water discharge, water supply, emissions, noise pollution, hazardous substances and transportation and handling of hazardous and solid waste. The Mexican government may bring administrative and criminal proceedings, impose economic sanctions against companies that violate environmental laws, and temporarily or even permanently close non-complying facilities.

The risk of incurring environmental liability is inherent in the railroad industry. As part of serving the petroleum and chemicals industry, the Company transports hazardous materials and has a professional team available to respond to and handle environmental issues that might occur in the transport of such materials.

The Company performs ongoing reviews and evaluations of the various environmental programs and issues within the Company’s operations, and, as necessary, takes actions intended to limit the Company’s exposure to potential liability. Although these costs cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the ultimate outcome of identified matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Personal Injury. The Company’s personal injury liability is based on semi-annual actuarial studies performed on an undiscounted basis by an independent third party actuarial firm and reviewed by management. This liability is based on personal injury claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Actual results may vary from estimates due to the number, type and severity of the injury, costs of medical treatments and uncertainties in litigation. Adjustments to the liability are reflected within operating expenses in the period in which changes to estimates are known. Personal injury claims in excess of self-insurance levels are insured up to certain coverage amounts, depending on the type of claim and year of occurrence. The personal injury liability as of December 31, 2022, is based on an updated actuarial study of personal injury claims through October 31, 2022, and review of the last two months’ experience. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized an increase of $1.4 million in personal injury liability due to changes in estimates as a result of the Company’s semi-annual actuarial studies and $18.3 million due to accruals, including unfavorable judgments on claims filed against the Company. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $15.6 million due to payments made on claims during 2022.

The personal injury liability activity was as follows (in millions):

	2022		2021
Balance at beginning of year	$	32.6	$	31.3
Accruals	18.3		6.3
Changes in estimate	1.4		(1.4)
Payments	(15.6)		(3.6)
Balance at end of year	$	36.7	$	32.6

Tax Contingencies. Information regarding tax contingencies is included in Note 13, Income Taxes — Tax Contingencies.

Contractual Agreements. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various contractual agreements related to commercial arrangements and the use of other railroads’ or governmental entities’ infrastructure needed for the operations of the business. The Company is involved or may become involved in certain disputes involving transportation rates, product loss or damage, charges, and interpretations related to these agreements. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that, when resolved, these disputes will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

On July 14, 2022, KCSM reached an agreement with the SICT to fund a new investment in the Celaya-NBA Line Railway Bypass and related infrastructure in an amount not to exceed Ps.4.0 billion (approximately $200.0 million USD). In exchange for the investment, the SICT agreed to amend 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.

Credit Risk. The Company continually monitors risks related to economic changes and certain customer receivables concentrations. Significant changes in customer concentration or payment terms, deterioration of customer creditworthiness, bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of a customer, or weakening in economic trends could have a significant impact on the collectability of the Company’s receivables and its operating results. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate and result in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The Company has recorded provisions for uncollectability based on its best estimate as of December 31, 2022.

Panama Canal Railway Company (”PCRC”) Guarantees and Indemnities. At December 31, 2022, the Company had issued and outstanding $5.8 million under a standby letter of credit to fulfill its obligation to fund fifty percent of the debt service reserve and liquidity reserve established by PCRC in connection with the issuance of the 7.0% Senior Secured Notes due November 1, 2026 (the “PCRC Notes”). Additionally, KCS has pledged its shares of PCRC as security for the PCRC Notes.

The large fluctuations between the quarters are driven by the recognition and reversal of merger termination fees. For the year ended December 31, 2021, KCS incurred $1,400.0 million of merger termination fees, completely offset by the recovery of $1,400.0 million of merger termination fees recognized in merger costs, net within the consolidated statements of income. See more details in Note 3, Merger Agreement.

Note 18. Geographic Information

Foreign Currency Hedging

At December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $535.0 million, which matured during January 2023 and obligated the Company to sell a total of Ps.11,235.2 million at a weighted-average rate of Ps.21.0 to each U.S. dollar. During January 2023, the Company entered into offsetting contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $581.4 million, which matured during January 2023 and obligated the Company to purchase a total of Ps.11,235.2 million at a weighted-average exchange rate of Ps.19.3 to each U.S. dollar, resulting in cash paid of $46.4 million.

During January 2023, the Company entered into several foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $250.0 million and maturity dates in 2023 and 2024. These contracts obligated the Company to sell a total of Ps.5,114.6 million at a weighted-average exchange rate of Ps.20.5 to each U.S. dollar.

The Company has not designated these foreign currency derivative instruments as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The Company will measure the foreign currency derivative instruments at fair value each period and will recognize any change in fair value in foreign exchange gain (loss) within the consolidated statements of income.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Nature of Operations

Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (“CPRL”), through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “CP” or “the Company”), operates a transcontinental railway in Canada and the United States ("U.S."). The Company provides rail and intermodal transportation services over a network of approximately 13,000 miles, serving the principal business centres of Canada from Montréal, Québec, to Vancouver, British Columbia, and the U.S. Northeast and Midwest regions. The Company’s railway network feeds directly into the U.S. heartland from the East and West coasts. Agreements with other carriers extend the Company’s market reach in Canada, throughout the U.S. and into Mexico. The Company transports bulk commodities, merchandise freight and intermodal traffic. Bulk commodities include grain, coal, fertilizers and sulphur. Merchandise freight consists of finished vehicles and automotive parts, as well as forest, industrial and consumer products. Intermodal traffic consists largely of retail goods in overseas containers that can be transported by train, ship and truck, and in domestic containers and trailers that can be moved by train and truck.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of significant accounting policies

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)

These Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in Canadian dollars and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Principles of consolidation

These Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company. The Company’s investments in which it has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Distributions received from equity method investees are classified using the nature of the distribution approach for cash flow presentation purposes, whereby distributions received are classified based on the nature of the activity or activities of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment (classified as a cash inflow from operating activities) or a return of investment (classified as a cash inflow from investing activities). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Common stock split

On April 21, 2021, the Company's shareholders approved a five-for-one stock split to shareholders of record as of May 5, 2021. Proportional adjustments were made to all outstanding awards under the Company's stock-based compensation plans in order to reflect the share split. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the stock split.

Use of estimates

The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Management regularly reviews its estimates, including those related to environmental liabilities, pensions and other benefits, depreciable lives of properties, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as well as legal and personal injury liabilities based upon currently available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of promised services is transferred to the customer and obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for providing services. Government imposed taxes that the Company collects concurrent with revenue-generating activities are excluded from revenue. In the normal course of business, the Company does not generate any material revenue through acting as an agent for other entities.

The Company provides rail freight transportation services to a wide variety of customers and transports bulk commodities, merchandise freight and intermodal traffic. The Company signs master service agreements with customers that dictate future services the Company is to perform for a customer at the time a bill of lading or service request is received. Each bill of lading or service request represents a separate distinct performance obligation that the Company is obligated to satisfy. The transaction price is generally in the form of a fixed fee determined at the inception of the bill of lading or service request. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the estimated standalone selling price for each performance obligation. As each bill of lading or service request represents a separate distinct performance obligation, the estimated standalone selling price is assessed at an observable price which is fair market value. Certain customer agreements include variable consideration in the form of rebates, discounts, or incentives. The expected value method is used to estimate variable consideration and is allocated to the applicable performance obligation and is recognized when the related performance obligation is satisfied. Additionally, the Company offers published rates for services through public tariff agreements in which a customer can request service, triggering a performance obligation the Company must satisfy. Railway freight revenues are recognized over time as services are provided based on the percentage of completed service method. Volume rebates to customers are accrued as a

reduction of freight revenues based on estimated volumes and contract terms as freight service is provided. Freight revenues also include certain ancillary and other services provided in association with the performance of rail freight movements. Revenues from these activities are not material and therefore have been aggregated with the freight revenues from customer contracts with which they are associated.

Non-freight revenues, including revenues earned from passenger service operators, switching fees, and revenues from logistics services, are recognized at the point in time the services are provided or over time as the customer obtains control when the performance obligations are satisfied. Non-freight revenues also include leasing revenues.

Payment by customers is due upon satisfaction of performance obligations. Payment terms are such that amounts outstanding at the period end are expected to be collected within one reporting period. The Company invoices customers at the time the bill of lading or service request is processed and therefore the Company has no material unbilled receivables and no contract assets. All performance obligations not fully satisfied at period end are expected to be satisfied within the reporting period immediately following. Contracted customer incentives are amortized to income over the term of the related revenue contract.

Income taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period during which the change occurs.

When appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to reflect that these tax assets may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on management’s judgment using available evidence about future events.

At times, tax benefit claims may be challenged by a tax authority. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not sustainable upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.

Investment and other similar tax credits are deferred on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized to “Income tax expense” as the related asset is recognized in income. Income tax recovery or expense on items in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" are recognized in "Income tax expense" as the related item is recognized in income.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted-average number of the Company's Common Shares ("Common Shares") outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury stock method for determining the dilutive effect of options.

Foreign currency translation

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, other than those held through foreign subsidiaries, are translated into Canadian dollars at the year-end exchange rate for monetary items and at the historical exchange rates for non-monetary items. Foreign currency revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the dates of the related transactions. Foreign exchange ("FX") gains and losses, other than those arising from the translation of the Company’s net investment in foreign subsidiaries, are included in income.

The accounts of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and foreign equity method investees are translated into Canadian dollars using the year-end exchange rate for assets and liabilities and the average exchange rates during the year for revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. FX gains and losses arising from the translation of the foreign subsidiaries’ and foreign equity method investees' assets and liabilities are included in “Other comprehensive income (loss)”. Debt instruments and finance lease obligations ("long-term debt") and operating lease liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars have been designated as a hedge of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries and foreign equity method investees. As a result, unrealized FX gains and losses on U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt and operating lease liabilities, designated as a hedge, are offset against FX gains and losses arising from the translation of foreign subsidiaries’ and foreign equity method investees' accounts in “Other comprehensive income (loss)”.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid short-term investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less, but excludes cash and cash equivalents subject to restrictions.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage, in accordance with specific agreements, are presented as restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets when applicable. In the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, these balances, if any, are included with cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable from customers are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less allowance for expected credit losses. Losses on accounts receivable are estimated based on historical credit loss experience of receivables with similar risk characteristics. Historical loss experience is adjusted to reflect any management expectations that current or future conditions will differ from conditions that existed for the period over which historical information is evaluated.

To determine expected credit losses, receivables are disaggregated by credit characteristics, type of customer service, customer line of business, and receivable aging. Receivables are considered to be in default and are written off against the allowance for credit losses when it is probable that all remaining contractual payments due will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the customer contracts. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to earnings in the period recovered.

Materials and supplies

Materials and supplies are carried at the lower of average cost or market value and consist primarily of fuel and parts used in the repair and maintenance of track structures, equipment, locomotives and freight cars.

Properties

Fixed asset additions and major renewals are recorded at cost, including direct costs, attributable indirect costs and carrying costs, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. When there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of property, a liability, when reliably estimable, is initially recognized at its fair value and a corresponding asset retirement cost is added to the gross book value of the related asset and amortized to expense over the estimated term to retirement. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its properties whenever changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable based on future undiscounted cash flows. When such properties are determined to be impaired, recorded asset values are revised to their fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.

The Company recognizes expenditures as additions to properties or operating expenses based on whether the expenditures increase the output or service capacity, lower the associated operating costs or extend the useful life of the properties and whether the expenditures exceed minimum physical and financial thresholds.

Much of the additions to properties, both new and replacement properties, are self-constructed. These are initially recorded at cost, including direct costs and attributable indirect costs, overheads and carrying costs. Direct costs include, among other things, labour costs, purchased services, equipment costs, material costs, project supervision costs, and fringe benefits. Attributable indirect costs and overheads include incremental long-term variable costs resulting from the execution of capital projects. Indirect costs mainly include work trains, material distribution, highway vehicles, and work equipment. Overheads primarily include a portion of the engineering department’s costs, which plans, designs, and administers these capital projects. These costs are allocated to projects by applying a measure consistent with the nature of the cost, based on cost studies. For replacement properties, the project costs are allocated to dismantling and installation based on cost studies. Dismantling work, which is expensed, is performed concurrently with the installation.

Ballast programs including undercutting, shoulder ballasting and renewal programs that form part of the annual track program are capitalized as this work, and the related added ballast material, significantly improves drainage, which in turn extends the life of ties and other track materials. These costs are tracked separately from the underlying assets and depreciated over the period to the next estimated similar ballast program. Spot replacement of ballast is considered a repair, which is expensed as incurred.

The costs of large refurbishments are capitalized and locomotive overhauls are expensed as incurred, except where overhauls represent a betterment of the locomotive in which case costs are capitalized.

The Company capitalizes development costs for major new computer systems.

The Company follows group depreciation, which groups assets that are similar in nature and have similar economic lives. The property groups are depreciated on a straight-line basis reflecting their expected economic lives determined by depreciation studies. Depreciation studies are regular reviews of asset service lives, salvage values, accumulated depreciation, and other related factors. Depreciation rates are established through these studies. Actual use and retirement of assets may vary from current estimates, and would be identified in the next study. These changes in expected economic lives would impact the amount of depreciation expense recognized in future periods. All track assets are depreciated using a straight-line method, which recognizes the value of the asset consumed as a percentage of the whole life of the asset.

When depreciable property is retired or otherwise disposed of in the normal course of business, the book value, less net salvage proceeds, is charged to accumulated depreciation and if different than the assumptions under the depreciation study could potentially result in adjusted depreciation expense over a period of years. However, when removal costs exceed the salvage value on assets and the Company has no legal obligation to remove the assets, the removal costs incurred are charged to income in the period in which the assets are removed and are not charged to accumulated depreciation.

For certain asset classes, the historical cost of the asset is separately recorded in the Company’s property records. This amount is retired from the property records upon retirement of the asset. For assets for which the historical cost cannot be separately identified the amount of the gross book value to be retired is estimated using either an indexation methodology, whereby the current replacement cost of the asset is indexed to the estimated year of installation for the asset, or a first-in, first-out approach, or statistical analysis is used to determine the age of the retired asset. The Company uses indices that closely correlate to the principal costs of the assets.

There are a number of estimates inherent in the depreciation and retirement processes and as it is not possible to precisely estimate each of these variables until a group of property is completely retired, the Company regularly monitors the estimated service lives of assets and the associated accumulated depreciation for each asset class to ensure depreciation rates are appropriate. If the recorded amounts of accumulated depreciation are greater or less than the amounts indicated by the depreciation studies, then the excess or deficit is amortized as a component of depreciation expense over the remaining service lives of the applicable asset classes.

For the sale or retirement of larger groups of depreciable assets that are unusual and were not considered in the Company’s depreciation studies, the Company records a gain or loss for the difference between net proceeds and net book value of the assets sold or retired. The accumulated depreciation to be retired includes asset-specific accumulated depreciation, when known, and an appropriate portion of the accumulated depreciation recorded for the relevant asset class as a whole, calculated using a cost-based allocation.

Revisions to the estimated useful lives and net salvage projections constitute a change in accounting estimate and are addressed prospectively by amending depreciation rates.

Equipment under finance lease is included in Properties and depreciated over the period of expected use.

Leases

The Company has leases for rolling stock, buildings, vehicles, railway equipment, roadway machines, and information systems hardware. The Company has entered into rolling stock and roadway machine leases that are fully variable or contain both fixed and variable components. Variable components are dependent on the hours and miles that the underlying equipment has been used. Fixed-term, short-term, and variable operating lease costs are recorded in "Equipment rents" and "Purchased services and other" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Components of finance lease costs are recorded in "Depreciation and amortization" and "Net interest expense" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company determines lease existence and classification at the lease inception date. Leases are identified when an agreement conveys the right to control identified property for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company recognizes both an operating lease liability and right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for operating leases with fixed terms and in-substance fixed terms. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments include fixed and variable payments that are based on an index or a rate. If the Company's leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate, the Company uses internal incremental secured borrowing rates for comparable tenor in the same currency at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating and finance lease ROU assets also include lease prepayments and initial direct costs, but are reduced by lease incentives. The lease term may include periods associated with options to extend or exclude periods associated with options to terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise these options.

The Company has short-term operating leases with terms of 12 months or less, some of which include options to purchase that the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise. The Company has elected to apply the recognition exemption and, as such, accounts for leases with a term of 12 months or less off-balance sheet. Therefore, lease payments on these short-term operating leases are not included in operating lease ROU assets and liabilities, but are recognized as an expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Further, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all leases, except for leases of roadway machines and information systems hardware.

Assets held for sale

Assets to be disposed that meet the held for sale criteria are reported in "Other assets" at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value, less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. This classification is applied at the date at which applicable criteria for recognition are met.

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, the Company records government assistance from various levels of the 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 the Company should purchase, construct, or otherwise acquire property, plant, and equipment. Under certain government assistance arrangements, there is a secondary condition that requires the Company 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 the Company's intention to comply with all conditions imposed by the terms of the government assistance. Government assistance received or receivable related to the Company's property assets is deducted from the cost of the assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within "Properties" and amortized over the same period as the related assets in "Depreciation and amortization" in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated at the date of the business combination to the reporting unit that is expected to benefit from the business acquisition which, after integration of operations with the railway network, may be different than the acquired business.

The carrying value of goodwill, which is not amortized, is assessed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year as at October 1, or more frequently as economic events dictate. The Company has the option of performing an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value or proceeding directly to a quantitative impairment test. Qualitative factors include but are not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and events such as notable changes in management or customers. If the assessment of qualitative factors indicates that the carrying value is less than the fair value, then performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. The quantitative assessment compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, goodwill is impaired. The impairment charge that would be recognized is the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the reporting unit, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

The Company defines the fair value of a reporting unit as the price expected to be received to sell the entire reporting unit in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the impairment date. In order to determine the fair value of a reporting unit, the Company uses the discounted cash flow method with a pre-tax discount rate, reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset(s).

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Favourable leases, customer relationships, and interline contracts have amortization periods up to 20 years. When there is a change in the estimated useful life of an intangible asset with a finite life, amortization is adjusted prospectively.

The Company tests the recoverability of its intangible assets whenever future undiscounted cash flows indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and fair value.

Pensions and other benefits

Pension costs are actuarially determined using the projected benefit method pro-rated over the credited service periods of employees. This method incorporates management’s best estimates of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, and retirement ages of employees. The expected return on plan assets is calculated using market-related asset values developed from a five-year average of market values for the fund’s public equity securities and absolute return strategies (with each prior year’s market value adjusted to the current date for assumed investment income during the intervening period) plus the market value of the fund’s fixed income, real estate, infrastructure, and private debt securities, subject to the market-related asset value not being greater than 120% of the market value nor being less than 80% of the market value. The discount rate used to determine the projected benefit obligation is based on blended market interest rates on high-quality debt instruments with matching cash flows. Unrecognized actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and the market-related value of plan assets are amortized over the expected average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan (approximately 13 years). Prior service costs arising from collectively bargained amendments to pension plan benefit provisions are amortized over the term of the applicable union agreement. Prior service costs arising from all other sources are amortized over the expected average remaining service period of active employees who are expected to receive benefits under the plan at the date of amendment.

Costs for post-retirement and post-employment benefits other than pensions, including post-retirement health care and life insurance and some workers’ compensation and long-term disability benefits in Canada, are actuarially determined on a basis similar to pension costs.

The over or under funded status of defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans are measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation, and are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, any unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs that arise during the period are recognized as a component of “Other comprehensive income (loss)”, net of tax.

Gains and losses on post-employment benefits that do not vest or accumulate, including some workers’ compensation and long-term disability benefits in Canada, are included immediately on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income as "Other components of net periodic benefit recovery".

The current service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is reported in "Compensation and benefits" for pensions and post-retirement benefits, and in "Purchased services and other" for self-insured workers' compensation and long-term disability benefits on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Other components of net periodic benefit cost or recovery are reported in "Other components of net periodic benefit recovery" outside of Operating income on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

Capitalization of pension costs, when applicable, is restricted to the current service cost component of net periodic benefit cost.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are contracts that give rise to a financial asset of one party and a financial liability or equity instrument of another party. Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value, which is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s-length transaction between willing parties.

Subsequent measurement depends on how the financial instruments have been classified. Accounts receivable and other investments, classified as loans and receivables, are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method. Cash and cash equivalents and derivatives are classified as held for trading and are measured at fair value. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term borrowings, other long-term liabilities, and long-term debt are also measured at amortized cost.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial and commodity instruments may be used from time to time by the Company to manage its exposure to risks relating to foreign currency exchange rates, stock-based compensation, interest rates, and fuel prices. When the Company utilizes derivative instruments in hedging relationships, the Company identifies, designates, and documents those hedging transactions and regularly tests the transactions to demonstrate effectiveness in order to continue hedge accounting.

All derivative instruments are classified as held for trading and recorded at fair value. Any change in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges is recognized in the period in which the change occurs in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income in the line item to which the derivative instrument is related.

For fair value hedges, the periodic changes in value are recognized in income, on the same line as the changes in value of the hedged items are also recorded. For designated cash flow hedges, the changes in value of the hedging instrument is recognized in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” and remains in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” until the related hedged item settles, at which time amounts recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” are reclassified to the same income or balance sheet account that records the hedged item. The changes in value of the hedging instrument is recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income if derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are subsequently de-designated.

Cash flows relating to derivative instruments designated as hedges are included in the same category as the related hedged items on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Environmental remediation

Environmental remediation accruals, recorded on an undiscounted basis unless a reliably determinable estimate as to amount and timing of costs can be established, cover site-specific remediation programs. The accruals are recorded when the costs to remediate are probable and reasonably estimable. Certain future costs to monitor sites are discounted at an adjusted risk-free rate. Provisions for environmental remediation costs are recorded in “Other long-term liabilities”, except for the current portion, which is recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”.

Stock-based compensation

The Company follows the fair value based approach to account for stock options. Compensation expense and an increase in “Additional paid-in capital” are recognized for stock options over their vesting period or over the period from the grant date to the date employees become eligible to retire, when this is shorter than the vesting period, based on their fair values on the grant date as determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Forfeitures are estimated at issuance and monitored on a periodic basis. Any consideration paid by employees on exercise of stock options is credited to “Share capital” when the option is exercised and the recorded fair value of the option is removed from “Additional paid-in capital" and credited to “Share capital”.

Compensation expense is also recognized for performance share units (“PSUs”), performance deferred share units ("PDSUs"), deferred share units ("DSUs"), and restricted share units (“RSUs”) that settle in cash using the fair value method. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period or over the period from the grant date to the date employees become eligible to retire, when this is shorter than the vesting period where applicable. Forfeitures are estimated at issuance and monitored on a periodic basis.

The employee share purchase plan gives rise to compensation expense that is recognized using the issue price by amortizing the cost over the vesting period.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]

Accounting Changes

Accounting changes

Implemented in 2022

Government Assistance

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the new 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 1 and Note 12 for further discussion on government assistance.

All other accounting pronouncements that became effective during the period covered by the 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 plans to adopt this update from January 1, 2023, with anticipation that upon obtaining effective control of Kansas City Southern ("KCS") following approval by the Surface Transportation Board ("STB"), any contract assets and liabilities of KCS will be recorded in the purchase price allocation in compliance with the update.

All other recently issued accounting pronouncements have been assessed and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In 2022, the Company recorded a deferred tax recovery of $19 million (U.S. $15 million) on the outside basis difference of the change in the equity investment in KCS from December 31, 2021. The outside basis difference is the excess of the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in KCS for financial reporting over the tax basis of this investment. Reversal of this deferred tax liability is expected to be recognized through income tax expense.

In 2022, the Company revalued its deferred income tax balances as a result of a corporate income tax rate decrease in the state of Iowa, resulting in a net recovery of $12 million.

In 2021, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $7.2 billion (U.S. $5.6 billion) on the outside basis difference of its investment in KCS. This balance is held in a U.S. functional currency entity and subsequently revalued to $7.5 billion at December 31, 2022 ($7.1 billion at December 31, 2021) due to changes in FX.

In 2021, the Company recorded a deferred tax recovery of $33 million (U.S. $26 million) on the outside basis difference of the change in the equity investment in KCS from initial recognition on December 14, 2021.

In 2020, the Company revalued its deferred income tax balances as a result of a tax filing election for the state of North Dakota resulting in a lower corporate income tax rate and a net recovery of $29 million.

With the exception of the deferred tax liability recorded on the outside basis difference of its investment in KCS, the Company has not provided a deferred liability for the income taxes, if any, which might become payable on any temporary difference associated with its foreign investments because the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest in its foreign investments and has no intention to realize this difference by a sale of its interest in foreign investments. It is not practical to calculate the amount of the deferred tax liability.

It is more likely than not that the Company will realize the majority of its deferred income tax assets from the generation of future taxable income, as the payments for provisions, reserves, and accruals are made and losses and tax credits carried forward are utilized.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company had tax effected operating losses carried forward of $22 million (2021 – $15 million), which have been recognized as a deferred tax asset. The losses carried forward will begin to expire in 2034. The Company expects to fully utilize these tax effected operating losses before their expiry. The Company did not have any minimum tax credits or investment tax credits carried forward.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company had $2 million (2021 – $2 million) in tax effected capital losses carried forward recognized as a deferred tax asset. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits from capital losses as at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The following table provides a reconciliation of uncertain tax positions in relation to unrecognized tax benefits for Canada and the U.S. for the year ended December 31:

(in millions of Canadian dollars)	2022		2021		2020
Unrecognized tax benefits at January 1	$	49	$	55	$	52
Increase in unrecognized:
Tax benefits related to the current year	1		—		—
Tax benefits related to prior years	—		—		10
Dispositions:
Gross uncertain tax benefits related to prior years	(30)		(6)		(9)
Settlements with taxing authorities	—		—		2
Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31	$	20	$	49	$	55

If these uncertain tax positions were recognized, all of the amount of unrecognized tax positions as at December 31, 2022 would impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, a tax authority proposed an adjustment for a prior tax year without assessing taxes. Although the Company had commenced action to have the proposal removed, an increase in uncertain tax position was recorded on deferred income tax liability and expense in the amount of $24 million. While the proposed adjustment was withdrawn during 2020, the ultimate resolution of this matter was not previously determinable. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a deferred tax recovery of $24 million to reverse this uncertain tax position as the amount is no longer expected to be realized.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of "Income tax expense" in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The net amount of accrued interest and penalties in 2022 was a $5 million expense (2021 – $4 million expense; 2020 – $1 million recovery). The total amount of accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as at December 31, 2022 was $18 million (2021 – $13 million; 2020 – $9 million).

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to either Canadian federal and provincial income tax, U.S. federal, state and local income tax, or the relevant income tax in other international jurisdictions. The Company has substantially concluded all Canadian federal and provincial income tax matters for the

years through 2017. The federal and provincial income tax returns filed for 2018 and subsequent years remain subject to examination by the Canadian taxation authorities. The Canadian international audit for 2014 and subsequent years is ongoing. The income tax returns for 2019 and subsequent years continue to remain subject to examination by the IRS and U.S. state tax jurisdictions. The Company believes that it has recorded sufficient income tax reserves as at December 31, 2022, with respect to these income tax examinations.

Business acquisitions

KCS

On March 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Original Merger Agreement") with KCS, under which CP agreed to acquire KCS in a stock and cash transaction. KCS is a U.S. Class I railway with approximately 7,100 route miles extending from the midwest and southeast portions of the United States south into Mexico and connects with all Class I railways. KCS is connected to the CP network at Kansas City.

On May 21, 2021, KCS terminated the Original Merger Agreement in order to enter into a merger agreement with Canadian National Railway Company ("CN") (the "CN Merger Agreement"). As a result, and under the terms of the Original Merger Agreement, KCS concurrently paid a merger termination fee of $845 million (U.S. $700 million) to the Company, recorded as "Merger termination fee" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

On August 10, 2021, CP submitted a proposal to acquire KCS in a stock and cash transaction representing an enterprise value of approximately U.S. $31 billion, based on the CP closing price on August 9, 2021, which included the assumption of U.S. $3.8 billion of outstanding KCS debt. The terms of the proposal were very similar in nearly every respect to those in the Original Merger Agreement, except for an increase in the share exchange ratio from 2.445 to 2.884. Following the Surface Transportation Board's ("STB") decision on August 31, 2021 to refuse CN and KCS's joint motion for voting trust approval in respect of the CN Merger Agreement, and after renewed negotiations with CP, KCS's Board of Directors deemed CP's proposal a "Company Superior Proposal", as defined in the CN Merger Agreement, and terminated the CN Merger Agreement.

On September 15, 2021, upon KCS's termination of the CN Merger Agreement, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with KCS. Pursuant to the terms of the CN Merger Agreement, KCS paid a merger termination fee of U.S. $700 million and refunded the CP merger termination fee of U.S. $700 million to CN (together, the "CN merger termination fees"). 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, included as part of the cost of the acquisition of KCS within "Investment in Kansas City Southern" in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. This payment is included in "Investment in Kansas City Southern" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

On December 14, 2021, following approval of the transaction by the shareholders of both the Company and KCS, receipt of Mexican regulatory approvals, satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions and pursuant to the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, the acquisition of KCS was consummated and all outstanding stock of KCS was deposited into a voting trust and held by a single trustee as trust stock. 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. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued approximately 262.6 million Common Shares to existing KCS common stockholders at the exchange ratio of 2.884 Common Shares per share of KCS common stock (valued at $23.5 billion (U.S. $18.3 billion)) and paid cash consideration to existing KCS stockholders of U.S. $90 per share of KCS common stock and U.S. $37.50 per share of KCS preferred stock for a total of approximately $10.5 billion (U.S. $8.2 billion). Share consideration, cash consideration, and the above described payments to KCS totalled approximately $36 billion (U.S. $28 billion). The cash consideration paid was financed by issuances of long-term debt of approximately $2.2 billion and $8.6 billion (U.S. $6.7 billion) on November 24, 2021 and December 2, 2021, respectively (see Note 15).

The Company accounts for its investment in KCS using the equity method of accounting while the STB considers the Company's application to control KCS. The investment in KCS of $45,091 million as at December 31, 2022, included $1,074 million of equity earnings of KCS and foreign currency translation of $2,891 million offset by dividends of $1,157 million received in the year ended December 31, 2022. Included within the $1,074 million of equity earnings of KCS recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022, was amortization (net of tax) of $163 million of basis differences (see Note 11). These basis differences relate to depreciable property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with definite lives, and long-term debt, and are amortized over the related assets' remaining useful lives, and the remaining terms to maturity of the debt instruments.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred $74 million in acquisition-related costs, recorded within "Purchased services and other" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs of $49 million, incurred by KCS during the year ended December 31, 2022, are included within "Equity (earnings) loss of Kansas City Southern" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Equity earnings of KCS recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022, also included KCS's gain on the unwinding of interest rate hedges of $212 million, which was net of CP's associated purchase accounting basis differences and tax.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred $599 million in acquisition-related costs associated with the KCS acquisition, of which $183 million were recorded within "Purchased services and other"and $247 million were recorded within "Other expense (income)" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs of $169 million, incurred by KCS during the 18 days from the date the acquisition closed into the voting trust, are included within "Equity (earnings) loss of Kansas City Southern" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. The acquisition-related costs recorded within "Other expense (income)" include the changes in fair value and realized gain from settlement of the FX forward contracts, changes in fair value and realized loss of the bond locks and forward starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps associated with the debt issuances (see Note 15), amortization of financing fees associated with the credit facilities (see Note 15), and FX gains on U.S. dollar-denominated cash on hand from the issuances of long-term debt to fund the KCS acquisition. Total financing fees paid for a bridge facility associated with the KCS acquisition for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $51 million , presented under "Cash (used in) provided by financing activities" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

DRTP

On December 22, 2020, CP completed its acquisition of the 83.5% ownership of the Detroit River Tunnel Partnership (“DRTP”) held by OMERS Infrastructure Management Inc. (“OMERS”) for cash, net of cash acquired, of $398 million. The purchase price was subject to customary closing adjustments, including any final adjustment for closing working capital and certain closing costs. With this acquisition CP obtained 100% ownership of DRTP. The acquisition of DRTP will reduce CP’s operating costs related to movements through the tunnel which amounted to approximately $34 million in 2020, and better integrate the eastern part of the network. DRTP owns a 1.6-mile rail tunnel linking Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan and additional, separate lands in both cities. The acquisition was funded with cash from operations and CP's commercial paper program.

The acquisition of DRTP was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values were estimated by applying an income approach using the discounted cash flow method of future cash flows, appraised land values reflecting a corridor enhancement factor where appropriate, and depreciated replacement cost for depreciable assets including the tunnel, track, signaling systems, and other railway related infrastructure assets.

Prior to the close of the transaction, CP owned a 16.5% interest in DRTP, which was accounted for as an equity method investment. The previously held equity investment was remeasured to fair value which was determined from the negotiated purchase price that reflected a market value established in a competitive bid process. As a result of the acquisition, in 2020, the Company recognized a before-tax gain of $68 million on the remeasurement to fair value of its equity interest within "Purchased services and other", calculated as the difference between the fair value of CP's 16.5% interest in DRTP of $81 million and the book value of the interest of $13 million. The following summarizes the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities of DRTP:

(in millions of Canadian dollars)	December 22, 2020
Fair value of net assets acquired:
Accounts receivable, net	$	5
Properties	436
Intangible assets (Note 13)	4
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(1)
Deferred taxes	(55)
Total identifiable assets and liabilities	$	389
Goodwill (Note 13)	90
	$	479
Consideration:
Cash, net of cash acquired	$	398
Fair value of previously held equity method investment	81
Total consideration	$	479

The goodwill of $90 million relates primarily to the contract that DRTP has for CP’s use of the tunnel and deferred taxes recognized as a result of the purchase price allocation. The goodwill recognized is not deductible for tax purposes.

Prior to the acquisition of DRTP, CP had pre-existing agreements to use the tunnel and to operate and manage the tunnel on behalf of DRTP. On acquisition, no gain or loss was recognized in respect of the effective settlement of these pre-existing relationships as they were determined to be at fair market value based on an assessment of current market conditions and market participants.

Acquired cash and cash equivalents of $6 million is presented as a reduction of cash used in investing activities in the Company's 2020 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

CP has not provided pro forma information relating to the pre-acquisition period as it is not material.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

Investment in KCS

Investment in KCS

On December 14, 2021, the Company acquired KCS and deposited 100% of the outstanding KCS common stock into a voting trust. The Company recorded its investment in KCS at its acquisition cost under the equity method of accounting pending approval from the STB of the Company's application for control of KCS.

The investment carrying cost of $45,091 million reported on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as at December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $42,309 million) reflects the total of the consideration paid to acquire KCS, the offsetting asset recorded on recognition of a deferred tax liability computed on an outside basis (see Note 5), the subsequent recognition of equity income recorded in Equity (earnings) loss of KCS and Other Comprehensive Income of KCS, the receipt of dividends from KCS, and foreign currency translation based on the year-end exchange rate.

The approximate $30 billion 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 the Company, is the basis difference. The Company has estimated the fair value of KCS and its underlying net assets for the purposes of amortizing the basis difference, as required by the equity method of accounting. The fair value of KCS's underlying net assets, including property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, and other assets and liabilities, have been estimated on a preliminary basis and may be subject to change as additional information becomes available.

The basis differences that relate to depreciable property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with definite lives, and long-term debt are amortized over the related assets' remaining useful lives, and the remaining terms to maturity of the debt instruments. The basis difference that related to interest rate

hedges was reversed upon derecognition by KCS. The remainder of the basis difference, relating to non-depreciable property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with indefinite lives, and equity method goodwill, is not amortized and is carried at cost subject to an assessment for impairment.

Subject to final approval by the STB, the Company would obtain control of KCS and would account for its acquisition of KCS as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. As a result, the Company would be required to remeasure the carrying value of its equity method investment in KCS to fair value. Any resultant change in the value of the investment in KCS would be recognized as a gain or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, including the write-down of that portion of the carrying value of the investment in KCS recorded as an offsetting asset to the outside basis deferred tax liability (see Note 5).

The following tables present summarized financial information for KCS, on its historical cost basis:

As at December 31, 2022, the gross amount of long-term debt denominated in U.S. dollars was U.S. $12,161 million (December 31, 2021 – U.S. $13,265 million).

Annual maturities and principal repayment requirements, excluding those pertaining to finance leases, for each of the five years following 2022 are (in millions): 2023 – $1,504; 2024 – $2,118; 2025 – $948; 2026 – $1,693; 2027 – $nil; thereafter – $13,520.

Fees on long-term debt are amortized to income over the term of the related debt.

A.  These debentures and notes are presented net of unamortized discounts, pay interest semi-annually, and are unsecured but carry a negative pledge.

In 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.

In 2021, the Company issued the following securities for total net proceeds of $10.7 billion to fund the cash consideration component of the KCS acquisition:

	U.S. $1.8 billion 3.100% Notes	Dec 2051	$2.26 billion (U.S. $1.77 billion)

The U.S. $1.4 billion 2.450% Notes and the U.S. $1.0 billion 3.000% Notes include a special mandatory redemption provision which provides that if STB final approval of the Company's application to control KCS is not received prior to March 25, 2023 or, if in the Company's judgment, STB final approval will not be sought or received by this date, the Company will be required to redeem all of such outstanding notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In conjunction with the above debt issuances, the Company cash settled a notional $600 million of interest rate bond locks and a notional U.S. $2.4 billion of forward starting floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements ("forward starting swaps") for a payment of $226 million during 2021. This payment was included in cash provided by operating activities consistent with the location of the related hedged item on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In 2021, the Company also repaid U.S. $250 million 9.450% 30-year debentures at maturity for a total of U.S. $250 million ($312 million).

B.  The 5.41% senior secured notes are collateralized by specific locomotive units with a carrying value of $89 million at December 31, 2022. The Company pays equal blended semi-annual payments of principal and interest. Final repayment of the remaining principal of U.S. $44 million is due in March 2024.

C.  The 6.91% secured equipment notes are full recourse obligations of the Company collateralized by a first charge on specific locomotive units with a carrying value of $31 million as at December 31, 2022. The Company pays equal blended semi-annual payments of principal and interest. Final repayment of the remaining principal of $11 million is due in October 2024.

D. The carrying value of the assets collateralizing finance lease obligations was $102 million at December 31, 2022.

E.  The Consolidated Debenture Stock, authorized by an Act of Parliament of 1889, constitutes a first charge upon and over the whole of the undertaking, railways, works, rolling stock, plant, property and effects of the Company, with certain exceptions.

Credit facility

The Company has a revolving credit facility (the “facility”) agreement with 14 highly rated financial institutions for a commitment amount of U.S. $1.3 billion. The facility can accommodate draws of cash and/or letters of credit at market competitive pricing. Effective September 24, 2021, the Company extended the maturity dates of the U.S. $1.0 billion tranche to September 27, 2026 and the U.S. $300 million tranche to September 27, 2023. During 2021, the Company amended the financial covenant within the facility agreement to provide flexibility upon closing of the KCS acquisition. As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company was in compliance with all terms and conditions of the credit facility arrangements and satisfied the financial covenant. As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, the facility was undrawn.

In 2021, the Company entered into a U.S. $500 million unsecured non-revolving term credit facility (the "term facility") with an initial due date of March 15, 2022. Effective March 14, 2022, the Company extended the maturity date of the U.S. $500 million term facility to September 15, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repaid in full the outstanding borrowings of U.S. $500 million ($636 million) on the term facility. The facility was automatically terminated on September 15, 2022 following the final principal repayment.

The Company also 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 revolving credit facility. As at December 31, 2022, the Company had no commercial paper borrowings outstanding (December 31, 2021 – $336 million).

The Company has bilateral letter of credit facilities with six highly rated financial institutions to support its requirement to post letters of credit in the ordinary course of business. Under these agreements, 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. These agreements permit the Company to withdraw amounts posted as collateral at any time; therefore, the amounts posted as collateral are presented as “Cash and cash equivalents” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any collateral posted on its bilateral letter of credit facilities but had letters of credit drawn of $75 million (December 31, 2021 – $58 million) from a total available amount of $300 million.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Financial instruments

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 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 value of short-term financial instruments approximate their fair values.

The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt does not approximate its fair value. The 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, including current maturities, with a carrying value of $19,651 million as at December 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $19,151 million), had a fair value of $17,720 million (December 31, 2021 - $21,265 million).

B.  Financial risk management

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments may be used to selectively reduce volatility associated with fluctuations in interest rates, FX rates, the price of fuel, and stock-based compensation expense. Where derivatives are designated as hedging instruments, the relationship between the hedging instruments and their associated hedged items is documented, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instruments. This documentation includes linking the derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets or liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, commitments, or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative contract is entered into and at least quarterly thereafter, an assessment is made as to whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged items. The derivative qualifies for hedge accounting treatment if it is effective in substantially mitigating the risk it was designed to address.

It is not the Company’s intent to use financial derivatives or commodity instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the possibility that a customer or counterparty will fail to fulfil its obligations under a contract and as a result create a financial loss for the Company.

The railway industry predominantly serves financially established customers, and the Company has experienced limited financial losses with respect to credit risk. The credit worthiness of customers is assessed using credit scores supplied by a third party and through direct monitoring of their financial well-being on a continual basis. The Company establishes guidelines for customer credit limits and should thresholds in these areas be reached, appropriate precautions are taken to improve collectability.

Counterparties to financial instruments expose the Company to credit losses in the event of non-performance. Counterparties for derivative and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions, which are monitored on an ongoing basis. Counterparty credit assessments are based on the financial health of the institutions and their credit ratings from external agencies. The Company does not anticipate non-performance that would materially impact the Company’s Consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company believes there are no significant concentrations of credit risk.

FX management

The Company conducts business transactions and owns assets in both Canada and the United States. As a result, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the value of financial commitments, assets, liabilities, income, or cash flows due to changes in FX rates. The Company may enter into FX risk management transactions primarily to manage fluctuations in the exchange rate between Canadian and U.S. currencies. FX exposure is primarily mitigated through natural offsets created by revenues, expenditures, and balance sheet positions incurred in the same currency. Where appropriate, the Company may negotiate with customers and suppliers to reduce the net exposure.

Net investment hedge

The FX gains and losses on long-term debt are mainly unrealized and can only be realized when U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt matures or is settled. The Company also has long-term FX exposure on its investment in foreign subsidiaries with a U.S. dollar functional currency. The majority of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt has been designated as a hedge of the net investment in these foreign subsidiaries. This designation has the effect of mitigating volatility on Net income by offsetting long-term FX gains and losses on U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt and gains and losses on its net investment. The effect of the net investment hedge recognized in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” in 2022 was an FX loss of $471 million, the majority of which was unrealized (2021 – unrealized gain of $25 million; 2020 – unrealized gain of $136 million) (see Note 7).

FX forward contracts

During 2021, the Company entered into various FX forward contracts totalling a notional U.S. $1.0 billion to fix the FX rate and lock-in a portion of the amount of Canadian dollars it could have borrowed to finance the U.S. dollar-denominated cash portion of the total consideration payable pursuant to the Original Merger Agreement with KCS. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company settled the FX forward contracts and did not have any such contracts remaining as at December 31, 2021. The realized gain from settlement of the FX forward contracts was $13 million and was recorded in "Other expense (income)" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income (2022 - $nil).

Interest rate management

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will vary as a result of changes in market interest rates. In order to manage funding needs or capital structure goals, the Company enters into debt or finance lease agreements that are subject to either fixed market interest rates set at the time of issue or floating rates determined by ongoing market conditions. Debt subject to variable interest rates exposes the Company to variability in interest expense, while debt subject to fixed interest rates exposes the Company to variability in the fair value of debt.

To manage interest rate exposure, the Company accesses diverse sources of financing and manages borrowings in line with a targeted range of capital structure, debt ratings, liquidity needs, maturity schedule, and currency and interest rate profiles. In anticipation of future debt issuances, the Company may enter into forward rate agreements that are designated as cash flow hedges, to substantially lock in all or a portion of the effective future interest expense. The Company may also enter into swap and lock agreements, designated as fair value hedges, to manage the mix of fixed and floating rate debt.

Forward starting swaps

In the first half of 2021, the Company entered into forward starting swaps with terms of up to 30 years, totalling a notional U.S. $2.4 billion to fix the benchmark rate on cash flows associated with highly probable forecasted issuances of long-term notes.

On May 21, 2021, the Original Merger Agreement with KCS was terminated which resulted in the Company ceasing hedge accounting for the U.S. $2.4 billion of forward starting swaps. However, as the note issuances were still reasonably possible to occur, fair value losses of $73 million prior to this determination remained in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, net of tax. Fair value losses of $251 million during the period from May 21, 2021 through to the roll and re-designation described below were recorded within “Other expense (income)" on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Following CP entering into the Merger Agreement with KCS, the Company rolled the notional U.S. $2.4 billion of forward starting swaps but did not effect a cash settlement. Concurrently, the Company re-designated the forward starting swaps totalling U.S. $2.4 billion to fix the benchmark rate on cash flows associated with highly probable forecasted issuances of long-term notes. The changes in fair value on the forward starting swaps were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, net of tax, as cash flow hedges until the notes were issued. Fair value gains subsequent to re-designation of $94 million were recorded within “Other comprehensive income” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company cash settled all outstanding forward starting swaps related to debt issuances that occurred in the same period. The fair value of these derivative instruments at the time of settlement was a loss of $230 million. The related $21 million gain within "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" will be reclassified to "Net interest expense" ratably over the duration of the notes' hedged interest payments.

Bond locks

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into seven-year interest rate bond locks totalling a notional $600 million to fix the benchmark rate on cash flows associated with a highly probable forecasted issuance of long-term notes.

On May 21, 2021, the Original Merger Agreement with KCS was terminated which resulted in the Company ceasing hedge accounting for the $600 million of bond locks. However, as the note issuances were still reasonably possible to occur, fair value losses of $2 million prior to this determination remained in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, net of tax. Fair value losses of $10 million during the period from May 21, 2021 through to the roll and re-designation described below were recorded within “Other expense (income)" on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Following CP entering into the Merger Agreement with KCS, the Company rolled the notional $600 million of bond locks but did not effect a cash settlement. Concurrently, the Company re-designated the bond locks totalling $600 million to fix the benchmark rate on cash flows associated with highly probable forecasted issuances of long-term notes. The changes in fair value on the bond locks are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, net of tax, as cash flow hedges until the notes were issued. Fair value gains subsequent to re-designation of $19 million were recorded within “Other comprehensive income” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company cash settled all outstanding bond locks related to debt issuances that occurred in the same period. The fair value of these derivative instruments at the time of settlement was a gain of $7 million. The related $17 million gain within "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" will be reclassified to "Net interest expense" ratably over the duration of the notes' hedged interest payments.

Designated hedges that were previously settled were amortized from “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" to "Net interest expense" for a total of $6 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 (2021 - $10 million; 2020 - $10 million). The Company expects that during the next 12 months, $6 million of net losses will be reclassified to “Net interest expense”.

(2) The deferred lease and license revenue is being amortized to income on a straight-line basis over the related lease terms. Comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Environmental remediation accruals

Environmental remediation accruals cover site-specific remediation programs. The estimate of the probable costs to be incurred in the remediation of properties contaminated by past activities reflects the nature of contamination at individual sites according to typical activities and scale of operations conducted. The Company has developed remediation strategies for each property based on the nature and extent of the contamination, as well as the location of the property and surrounding areas that may be adversely affected by the presence of contaminants, considering available technologies, treatment and disposal facilities and the acceptability of site-specific plans based on the local regulatory environment. Site-specific plans range from containment and risk management of the contaminants through to the removal and treatment of the contaminants and affected soils and groundwater. The details of the estimates reflect the environmental liability at each property. Provisions for environmental remediation costs are recorded in “Other long-term liabilities”, except for the current portion which is recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” (see Note 14). Payments are expected to be made over 10 years to 2032.

The accruals for environmental remediation represent the Company’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 the Company’s best estimate of all probable costs, the Company’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, 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. Changes to costs are reflected as changes to “Other long-term liabilities” or “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and to “Purchased services and other” within operating expenses on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. The amount charged to income in 2022 was $8 million (2021 – $10 million; 2020 – $10 million)

Pensions and other benefits

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

Pensions and other benefits

Pensions and other benefits

The Company has both defined benefit (“DB”) and defined contribution (“DC”) pension plans. At December 31, 2022, the Canadian pension plans represent nearly all of total combined pension plan assets and nearly all of total combined pension plan obligations.

The DB plans provide for pensions based principally on years of service and compensation rates near retirement. Pensions for Canadian pensioners are partially indexed to inflation. Annual employer contributions to the DB plans, which are actuarially determined, are made on the basis of being not less than the minimum amounts required by federal pension supervisory authorities.

The Company has other benefit plans including post-retirement health and life insurance for pensioners, and post-employment long-term disability and workers’ compensation benefits, which are based on Company-specific claims. At December 31, 2022, the Canadian other benefits plans represent nearly all of total combined other plan obligations.

The Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors has approved an investment policy that establishes long-term asset mix targets, which take into account the Company’s expected risk tolerances. Pension plan assets are managed by a suite of independent investment managers, with the allocation by manager reflecting these asset mix targets. Most of the assets are actively managed with the objective of outperforming applicable benchmarks. In accordance with the investment policy, derivative instruments may be used by investment managers to hedge or adjust existing or anticipated exposures.

To develop the expected long-term rate of return assumption used in the calculation of net periodic benefit cost applicable to the market-related value of plan assets, the Company considers the expected composition of the plans’ assets, past experience, and future estimates of long-term investment returns. Future estimates of investment returns reflect the long-term return expectation for fixed income, public equity, real estate, infrastructure, private debt, and absolute return investments, and the expected added value (relative to applicable benchmark indices) from active management of pension plan assets.

The Company has elected to use a market-related value of assets for the purpose of calculating net periodic benefit cost, developed from a five-year average of market values for the plans’ public equity and absolute return investments (with each prior year’s market value adjusted to the current date for assumed investment income during the intervening period) plus the market value of the plans’ fixed income, real estate, infrastructure, and private debt securities.

The benefit obligation is discounted using a discount rate that is a blended yield to maturity for a hypothetical portfolio of high-quality debt instruments with cash flows matching projected benefit payments. The discount rate is determined by management.

Net periodic benefit cost

The elements of net periodic benefit cost for DB pension plans and other benefits recognized in the year include the following components:

	Pensions						Other benefits

The table below shows the aggregate pension projected benefit obligation and aggregate fair value of plan assets for pension plans with fair value of plan assets in excess of projected benefit obligations (i.e. surplus), and for pension plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of fair value of plan assets (i.e. deficit):

	2022				2021
(in millions of Canadian dollars)	Pension plans in surplus		Pension plans in deficit		Pension plans in surplus		Pension plans in deficit
Projected benefit obligation at December 31	$	(9,512)	$	(424)	$	(12,346)	$	(538)

Funded status	$	3,101	$	(175)	$	2,317	$	(263)

The DB pension plans’ accumulated benefit obligation as at December 31, 2022 was $9,747 million (2021 – $12,591 million). The accumulated benefit obligation is calculated on a basis similar to the projected benefit obligation, except no future salary increases are assumed in the projection of future benefits. For pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of fair value of plan assets (i.e. deficit), the aggregate pension accumulated benefit obligation as at December 31, 2022 was $332 million (2021 – $410 million) and the aggregate fair value of plan assets as at December 31, 2022 was $186 million (2021 –$201 million).

All Other benefits plans were in a deficit position as at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Plan assets

Plan assets are recorded at fair value. The major asset categories are public equity securities, fixed income securities, real estate, infrastructure, absolute return investments, and private debt. The fair values of the public equity and fixed income securities are primarily based on quoted market prices. Real estate and infrastructure values are based on the value of each fund’s assets as calculated by the fund manager, generally using third party appraisals or discounted cash flow analysis and taking into account current market conditions and recent sales transactions where practical and appropriate. Private debt values are based on the value of each fund’s assets as calculated by the fund manager taking into account current market conditions and reviewed annually by external parties. Absolute return investments are a portfolio of units of externally managed hedge funds and are valued by the fund administrators.

The Company’s pension plan asset allocation, the weighted-average asset allocation targets, and the weighted average policy range for each major asset class at year-end were as follows:

			Percentage of plan assets  at December 31
Asset allocation (percentage)	Asset allocation target	Policy range	2022	2021
Cash and cash equivalents	1.2	0 – 10	1.1	3.1
Fixed income	24.4	20 – 40	20.5	24.1
Public equity	45.0	35 – 55	46.4	50.5
Real estate and infrastructure	9.8	4 – 13	11.4	6.7

(1) Investments measured at net asset value ("NAV"):

Amounts are comprised of certain investments measured using NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. These investments have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

(2) Government & Corporate Bonds:

Fair values for bonds are based on market prices supplied by independent sources as of the last trading day.

(3) Mortgages:

The fair values of mortgages are based on current market yields of financial instruments of similar maturity, coupon and risk factors.

(4) Real estate:

Real estate fund values are based on the NAV of the funds that invest directly in real estate investments. The values of the investments have been estimated using the capital accounts representing the plans' ownership interest in the funds. Of the total, $595 million is subject to redemption frequencies ranging from monthly to annually and a redemption notice period of 90 days (2021 – $613 million). The remaining $127 million is not subject to redemption and is normally returned through distributions as a result of the liquidation of the underlying real estate investments (2021 – $119 million). As at December 31, 2022, there are $40 million of unfunded commitments for real estate investments (December 31, 2021 – $32 million).

(5) Infrastructure:

Infrastructure fund values are based on the NAV of the funds that invest directly in infrastructure investments. The values of the investments have been estimated using the capital accounts representing the plans' ownership interest in the funds. Of the total, $356 million is subject to redemption frequencies ranging from monthly to annually and a redemption notice period of 90 days (2021 – $107 million). The remaining $388 million is not subject to redemption and is normally returned through distributions as a result of the liquidation of the underlying infrastructure investments (2021 – $156 million). As at December 31, 2022, there are $356 million of unfunded commitments for infrastructure investments (December 31, 2021 – $814 million).

(6) Private debt:

The values of the investments have been estimated using the capital accounts representing the plans' ownership interest in the funds. Of the total, $160 million is subject to redemption frequencies ranging from monthly to annually and a redemption notice period of 90 days (2021 – $152 million). The remaining $832 million is not subject to redemption and is normally returned through distributions as a result of the repayment of the underlying loans (2021 - $530 million). As at December 31, 2022, there are $747 million of unfunded commitments for private debt investments (December 31, 2021 – $774 million).

(7) Derivatives:

The investment managers may utilize the following derivative instruments: equity futures to replicate equity index returns (Level 2); currency forwards to partially hedge foreign currency exposures (Level 2); bond forwards to reduce asset/liability interest rate risk exposures (Level 2); interest rate swaps to manage duration and interest rate risk (Level 2); credit default swaps to manage credit risk (Level 2); and options to manage interest rate risk and volatility (Level 2). The Company may utilize derivatives directly, but only for the purpose of hedging foreign currency exposures. As at December 31, 2022, there are currency forwards with a notional value of $nil (December 31, 2021 – $nil) and a fair value of $nil (December 31, 2021 – $6 million).

Additional plan assets information

The Company's primary investment objective for pension plan assets is to achieve a long–term return, net of all fees and expenses, that is sufficient for the plan's assets to satisfy the current and future obligations to plan beneficiaries, while minimizing the financial impact on the Company. In identifying the asset allocation ranges, consideration was given to the long-term nature of the underlying plan liabilities, the solvency and going-concern financial position of the plan, long-term return expectations, and the risks associated with key asset classes as well as the relationships of returns on key asset classes with each other, inflation, and interest rates. When advantageous and with due consideration, derivative instruments may be utilized by investment managers, provided the total value of the underlying assets represented by financial derivatives (excluding currency forwards, liability hedging derivatives in fixed income portfolios, and derivatives held by absolute return funds) is limited to 30% of the market value of the fund.

The funded status of the plans is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, which affects the relative values of the plans' liabilities and assets. In order to mitigate interest rate risk, the Company's main Canadian defined benefit pension plan utilizes a liability driven investment strategy in its fixed income portfolio, which uses a combination of long duration bonds and derivatives to hedge interest rate risk, managed by the investment manager. As at December 31, 2022, the plan's solvency funded position was 45% hedged against interest rate risk (2021 – 47%).

When investing in foreign securities, the plans are exposed to foreign currency risk; the effect of which is included in the valuation of the foreign securities. At December 31, 2022, the plans were 50% exposed to the U.S. dollar, 6% exposed to the Euro, and 10% exposed to various other currencies. At December 31, 2021, the plans were 43% exposed to the U.S. dollar, 5% exposed to the Euro, and 10% exposed to various other currencies.

At December 31, 2022, plan assets included 570,074 of the Common Shares of the Company (2021 – 426,304) at a market value of $58 million (2021 – $39 million) and Fixed Income securities of the Company at a market value of $5 million (2021 – $5 million).

Estimated future benefit payments

The estimated future DB pension and other benefit payments to be paid by the plans for each of the next five years and the subsequent five-year period are as follows:

(in millions of Canadian dollars)	Pensions		Other benefits
2023	$	652	$	33
2024	648		31
2025	649		30
2026	648		29
2027	649		29
2028-2032	3,234		137

The benefit payments from the Canadian registered and U.S. qualified DB pension plans are payable from their respective pension funds. Benefit payments from the supplemental pension plan and from the other benefits plans are payable directly by the Company.

Defined contribution plan

Canadian non-unionized employees hired prior to July 1, 2010 had the option to participate in the Canadian DC plan. All Canadian non-unionized employees hired after such date must participate in this plan. Employee contributions are based on a percentage of salary. The Company matches employee contributions to a maximum percentage each year.

Effective July 1, 2010, a new U.S. DC plan was established. All U.S. non-unionized employees hired after such date must participate in this plan. Employees do not contribute to the plan. The Company annually contributes a percentage of salary.

The DC plans provide a pension based on total employee and employer contributions plus investment income earned on those contributions.

In 2022, the net cost of the DC plans, which generally equals the employer’s required contribution, was $12 million (2021 – $13 million; 2020 – $12 million).

Contributions to multi-employer plans

Some of the Company’s unionized employees in the U.S. are members of a U.S. national multi-employer benefit plan. Contributions made by the Company to this plan in 2022 in respect of post-retirement medical benefits were $2 million (2021 – $3 million; 2020 – $3 million).

(1) As at December 31, 2022, the total number of in-the-money stock options outstanding was 7,339,374 with a weighted-average exercise price of $61.60. The weighted-average years to expiration of exercisable stock options is 2.4 years.

Pursuant to the employee plan, 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 for options issued in 2022 (2021 – $26 million; 2020 – $15 million). The weighted-average fair value assumptions were approximately:

	2022			2021			2020
Expected option life (years)(1)	4.75			4.75			4.75
Risk-free interest rate(2)	1.62		%	0.53		%	1.28		%

(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 term of the option.

(3) Based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock 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. The rate is monitored on a periodic basis.

In 2022, the expense for stock options (regular and performance) was $23 million (2021 – $23 million; 2020 – $16 million). At December 31, 2022, there was $17 million of total unrecognized compensation related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.9 years.

The total fair value of shares vested for the stock option plan during 2022 was $24 million (2021 – $18 million; 2020 – $10 million).

The following table provides information related to all options exercised in the stock option plan during the years ended December 31:

B. Other share-based plans

Performance share unit plans

During 2022, the Company issued 415,660 PSUs with a grant date fair value of approximately $38 million and 13,506 PDSUs with a grant date fair value, including value of expected future matching units, of approximately $1 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 using closing share price on the date of measurement. The fair value of units that are probable of vesting based on forecasted performance factors over the three-year performance period is recognized as expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Vested PSUs are settled in cash. Vested PDSUs are settled in cash pursuant to the 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 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 the S&P 500 Industrials Index.

The performance period for 431,430 PSUs and 12,694 PDSUs issued in 2021 is January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023, and the performance factors for these PSUs are Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC"), TSR compared to the S&P/TSX 60 Index, and TSR compared to Class I railways.

The performance period for 489,990 PSUs and 50,145 PDSUs issued in 2020 was January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022, and the performance factors for these PSUs were ROIC, TSR compared to the S&P/TSX 60 Index, and TSR compared to Class I Railways. The estimated payout on these awards is 180% on 459,358 PSUs and 45,058 PDSUs outstanding (including expected future matching units) representing fair values of $87 million and $11 million respectively as at December 31, 2022, calculated using the Company's average share price of the last 30 trading days preceding December 31, 2022.

The performance period for 668,405 PSUs issued in 2019 was January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, and the performance factors were 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.

The following table summarizes information related to PSUs and PDSUs as at December 31:

	2022	2021
Outstanding, January 1	1,577,781	1,909,345
Granted	429,166	444,124
Units in lieu of dividends	11,207	14,668
Settled	(637,073)	(743,512)
Forfeited	(44,723)	(46,844)
Outstanding, December 31	1,336,358	1,577,781

In 2022, the expense for PSUs and PDSUs was $69 million (2021 – $91 million; 2020 – $121 million). At December 31, 2022, there was $32 million of total unrecognized compensation related to these awards which, is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.6 years.

Deferred share unit plan

The Company established the DSU plan as a means to compensate and assist in attaining share ownership targets set for certain key employees and Directors. A DSU entitles the holder to receive, upon redemption, a cash payment equivalent to the Company's average share price using the 10 trading days prior to redemption. DSUs vest over various periods of up to 36 months and are only redeemable for a specified period after employment is terminated.

Senior managers may elect to receive DSUs in lieu of annual bonus cash payments in the bonus deferral program. In addition, senior managers will be granted a 25% company match of DSUs when deferring cash to DSUs to meet ownership targets. The election to receive eligible payments in DSUs is no longer available to a participant when the value of the participant’s DSUs is sufficient to meet the Company’s stock ownership guidelines. Senior managers have five years to meet their ownership targets.

The expense for DSUs is recognized over the vesting period for both the initial subscription price and the change in value between reporting periods.

The following table summarizes information related to DSUs as at December 31:

	2022	2021
Outstanding, January 1	841,333	774,053
Granted	60,262	70,112
Units in lieu of dividends	6,510	6,753
Settled	(162,319)	(6,677)
Forfeited	(1,256)	(2,908)
Outstanding, December 31	744,530	841,333

During 2022, the Company granted 60,262 DSUs with a grant date fair value of approximately $6 million. In 2022, the expense for DSUs was $10 million (2021 – $6 million; 2020 – $21 million). At December 31, 2022, there was $1 million of total unrecognized compensation related to DSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.7 years.

C. Employee share purchase plan

The Company has an employee share purchase plan whereby both employee and the Company contributions are used to purchase shares on the open market for employees. The Company’s contributions are expensed over the one year vesting period. Under the plan, the Company matches $1 for every $3 contributed by employees up to a maximum employee contribution of 6% of annual salary.

The total number of shares purchased in 2022 on behalf of participants, including the Company's contributions, was 566,902 (2021 – 538,022; 2020 – 576,720). In 2022, the Company’s contributions totalled $11 million (2021 – $11 million; 2020 – $9 million) and the related expense was $9 million (2021 – $8 million; 2020 – $7 million)

Variable interest entities

Variable Interest Entity, Not Primary Beneficiary, Disclosures [Abstract]

Variable interest entities

Variable interest entities

The Company leases equipment from certain trusts, which have been determined to be variable interest entities financed by a combination of debt and equity provided by unrelated third parties. The lease agreements, which are classified as operating leases, have fixed price purchase options that create the Company’s variable interests and result in the trusts being considered variable interest entities.

Maintaining and operating the leased assets according to specific contractual obligations outlined in the terms of the lease agreements and industry standards is the Company’s responsibility. The rigour of the contractual terms of the lease agreements and industry standards are such that the Company has limited discretion over the maintenance activities associated with these assets. As such, the Company concluded these terms do not provide the Company with the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entities in a way that has a significant impact on the entities’ economic performance.

The financial exposure to the Company as a result of its involvement with the variable interest entities is equal to the fixed lease payments due to the trusts. In 2022, lease payments after tax were $15 million. Future minimum lease payments, before tax, of $94 million will be payable over the next eight years. The Company does not guarantee the residual value of the assets to the lessor; however, it must deliver to the lessor the assets in good operating condition, subject to normal wear and tear, at the end of the lease term.

As the Company’s actions and decisions do not significantly affect the variable interest entities’ performance, and the Company’s fixed price purchase option is not considered to be potentially significant to the variable interest entities, the Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary, and does not consolidate these variable interest entities.

Additionally, as further discussed in Note 10, as at December 31, 2022, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole beneficiary of an independent voting trust that holds 100% of the equity interest in KCS. The trust is governed by a single trustee who is responsible to act in the interest of the Company as the beneficial owner of the shares of KCS. As a result of KCS's equity being held in trust, the Company's interest in KCS does not have the attributes of a typical equity holder as the Company has no power to direct KCS’s activities during the trust period and therefore the trust is considered to be a variable interest entity that the Company cannot consolidate.

The risks associated with the Company's investment in KCS include normal corporate and business risks associated with railroad operations. During the trust period, KCS is subject to contractual restrictions related to acquiring assets, entering into material contracts, or making certain additional capital expenditures that could have a negative impact on their operations. The Company's investment in KCS is also subject to the risk that the STB will not approve the Company’s application to control KCS by December 31, 2023, or by a final and non-appealable order, refuse to provide final approval in which cases the Company would be required to dispose of its investment in KCS. Similarly, if the STB imposes onerous conditions on its final approval, the Company may choose to dispose of its initial investment in KCS rather than agreeing to the conditions imposed by the STB. The Company may not be able to sell its investment at a price that recovers its initial investment and may incur a loss up to the full carrying value of its investment in KCS, in addition to incurring significant expenses in connection to such transaction. All of these risks can impact the overall value of the Company’s investment in KCS.

Commitments and contingencies

Commitments and 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 December 31, 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.

Commitments

At December 31, 2022, the Company had committed to total future capital expenditures amounting to $389 million and operating expenditures relating to supplier purchase obligations, such as bulk fuel purchase agreements, locomotive maintenance and overhaul agreements, as well as agreements to purchase other goods and services amounting to approximately $1.4 billion for the years 2023–2035.

Commitments related to leases, including minimum annual payments for the next five years and thereafter, are included in Note 18.

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 the Company and others:

(1)Québec's Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment, Wildlife and Parks ordered various parties, including the Company, to remediate the derailment site (the "Cleanup Order") and served the Company with a Notice of Claim for $95 million for those costs. The Company 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 the Company 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) the Company was responsible for the petroleum crude oil from its point of origin until its delivery to Irving Oil Ltd.; and (ii) the Company 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 the Company 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 the Company 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 the Company 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. The Québec Superior Court issued a decision on December 14, 2022 dismissing all claims as against the Company, finding that the Company’s actions were not the direct and immediate cause of the accident and the damages suffered by the plaintiffs. All three plaintiffs filed a declaration of appeal on January 13, 2023. A damages trial will follow after the disposition of all appeals, if necessary.

(5)Forty-eight plaintiffs (all individual claims joined in one action) sued the Company, 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 the Company, 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 the Company in November 2014 in the Maine Bankruptcy Court claiming that the Company 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 the Company 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. In the meantime, the Company has filed a motion for leave to file additional arguments on the effect of the decision of the Québec Superior Court in the consolidated claims and motion is set to be heard on February 28, 2023.

(7)The class and mass tort action commenced against the Company 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 the Company 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 the Company negligently misclassified and improperly packaged the petroleum crude oil. On the Company’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 the Company in North Dakota Federal Court, seeking to recover approximately U.S. $6 million for damaged rail cars and lost crude oil 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. On January 20, 2023, the Court granted in part the Company's summary judgment motion by dismissing all claims for recovery of settlement payments but leaving for trial the determination of the value of the lost crude oil. It also dismissed the Company's motion for reconsideration on tariff applicability. The remaining issue of the value of the lost crude oil is set 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, the Company 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 for which it is liable under the ruling of the Court. The Company has filed an appeal of the Court’s decision.

Guarantees [Abstract]

Guarantees

Guarantees

In the normal course of operating the railway, the Company enters into contractual arrangements that involve providing certain guarantees, which extend over the term of the contracts. These guarantees include, but are not limited to:

•guarantees to pay other parties in the event of the occurrence of specified events, including damage to equipment, in relation to assets used in the operation of the railway through operating leases, rental agreements, easements, trackage, and interline agreements; and

•indemnifications of certain tax-related payments incurred by lessors and lenders.

The maximum amount that could be payable under these guarantees, excluding residual value guarantees, cannot be reasonably estimated due to the nature of certain of these guarantees. All or a portion of amounts paid under guarantees to other parties in the event of the occurrence of specified events could be recoverable from other parties or through insurance. The Company has accrued for all guarantees that it expects to pay. As at December 31, 2022, these accruals amounted to $5 million (2021 – $14 million), and are recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities".

Indemnifications

Pursuant to a trust and custodial services agreement with the trustee of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company Pension Plan, the Company has undertaken to indemnify and save harmless the trustee, to the extent not paid by the fund, from any and all taxes, claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising out of the performance of the trustee’s obligations under the agreement, except as a result of misconduct by the trustee. The indemnity includes liabilities, costs, or expenses relating to any legal reporting or notification obligations of the trustee with respect to the defined benefit and defined contribution options of the pension plans, or otherwise with respect to the assets of the pension plans that are not part of the fund. The indemnity survives the termination or expiry of the agreement with respect to claims and liabilities arising prior to the termination or expiry.

Pursuant to the voting trust agreement executed as part of the KCS acquisition, the Company has undertaken to protect, indemnify and save harmless the trustee from any loss, damages, liability, cost or expense in connection with the independent voting trust (except those resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the trustee), and any cost or expense of any suit or litigation with respect to the trust stock or the voting trust agreement. The Company has also undertaken to pay all costs, damages and expenses of the trustee, where the trustee is made party to or is the subject of any investigation or proceeding by reason of and with respect to the trust stock or voting trust agreement.

As at December 31, 2022, the Company had not recorded a liability associated with this indemnification as it does not expect to make any payments pertaining to it.

KCS

[If STB approval is received before 10-K filing: On [approval date], the STB approved CP’s control application for KCS, with an effective date of [effective date], [subject to certain conditions]. On or after the effective date and the Company’s determination that none of the conditions imposed by the STB would cause the Company to decline to exercise control, the voting trust will be terminated and CP (through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary) will acquire control of the shares and take control of KCS (the date on which such control occurs, the "Control Date"), subject to conditions imposed in the STB’s approval decision. [The Company may also (or alternatively) determine to seek review of the conditions imposed by the STB (e.g., via a petition for reconsideration to the STB or petition for review filed with a U.S. Court of Appeals).] Until the Control Date, the Company continues to record its investment in KCS using the equity method of accounting (see Note 10 and Note 11).

Upon acquiring control of KCS, the voting Trust will cease. This change in control will be accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages, using the acquisition method of accounting, with the date of control reflecting the business combination acquisition date. Accordingly, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed will be measured and recorded as of this acquisition date.

The fair values of the previously held equity interest in KCS, and the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities and non-controlling interest assumed will be determined using valuation techniques, including but not limited to, market approach, cost approach, multi-period excess earnings method, replacement cost method, and net asset value approach.]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2022

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP")

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)

These Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in Canadian dollars and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation

These Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company. The Company’s investments in which it has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Distributions received from equity method investees are classified using the nature of the distribution approach for cash flow presentation purposes, whereby distributions received are classified based on the nature of the activity or activities of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment (classified as a cash inflow from operating activities) or a return of investment (classified as a cash inflow from investing activities). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Common Stock split

Common stock splitOn April 21, 2021, the Company's shareholders approved a five-for-one stock split to shareholders of record as of May 5, 2021. Proportional adjustments were made to all outstanding awards under the Company's stock-based compensation plans in order to reflect the share split. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the stock split.

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Management regularly reviews its estimates, including those related to environmental liabilities, pensions and other benefits, depreciable lives of properties, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as well as legal and personal injury liabilities based upon currently available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of promised services is transferred to the customer and obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for providing services. Government imposed taxes that the Company collects concurrent with revenue-generating activities are excluded from revenue. In the normal course of business, the Company does not generate any material revenue through acting as an agent for other entities.

The Company provides rail freight transportation services to a wide variety of customers and transports bulk commodities, merchandise freight and intermodal traffic. The Company signs master service agreements with customers that dictate future services the Company is to perform for a customer at the time a bill of lading or service request is received. Each bill of lading or service request represents a separate distinct performance obligation that the Company is obligated to satisfy. The transaction price is generally in the form of a fixed fee determined at the inception of the bill of lading or service request. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the estimated standalone selling price for each performance obligation. As each bill of lading or service request represents a separate distinct performance obligation, the estimated standalone selling price is assessed at an observable price which is fair market value. Certain customer agreements include variable consideration in the form of rebates, discounts, or incentives. The expected value method is used to estimate variable consideration and is allocated to the applicable performance obligation and is recognized when the related performance obligation is satisfied. Additionally, the Company offers published rates for services through public tariff agreements in which a customer can request service, triggering a performance obligation the Company must satisfy. Railway freight revenues are recognized over time as services are provided based on the percentage of completed service method. Volume rebates to customers are accrued as a

reduction of freight revenues based on estimated volumes and contract terms as freight service is provided. Freight revenues also include certain ancillary and other services provided in association with the performance of rail freight movements. Revenues from these activities are not material and therefore have been aggregated with the freight revenues from customer contracts with which they are associated.

Non-freight revenues, including revenues earned from passenger service operators, switching fees, and revenues from logistics services, are recognized at the point in time the services are provided or over time as the customer obtains control when the performance obligations are satisfied. Non-freight revenues also include leasing revenues.

Payment by customers is due upon satisfaction of performance obligations. Payment terms are such that amounts outstanding at the period end are expected to be collected within one reporting period. The Company invoices customers at the time the bill of lading or service request is processed and therefore the Company has no material unbilled receivables and no contract assets. All performance obligations not fully satisfied at period end are expected to be satisfied within the reporting period immediately following. Contracted customer incentives are amortized to income over the term of the related revenue contract.

Income taxes

Income taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period during which the change occurs.

When appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to reflect that these tax assets may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on management’s judgment using available evidence about future events.

At times, tax benefit claims may be challenged by a tax authority. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not sustainable upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.

Investment and other similar tax credits are deferred on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized to “Income tax expense” as the related asset is recognized in income. Income tax recovery or expense on items in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" are recognized in "Income tax expense" as the related item is recognized in income.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted-average number of the Company's Common Shares ("Common Shares") outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury stock method for determining the dilutive effect of options.

Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency translation

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, other than those held through foreign subsidiaries, are translated into Canadian dollars at the year-end exchange rate for monetary items and at the historical exchange rates for non-monetary items. Foreign currency revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the dates of the related transactions. Foreign exchange ("FX") gains and losses, other than those arising from the translation of the Company’s net investment in foreign subsidiaries, are included in income.

The accounts of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and foreign equity method investees are translated into Canadian dollars using the year-end exchange rate for assets and liabilities and the average exchange rates during the year for revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. FX gains and losses arising from the translation of the foreign subsidiaries’ and foreign equity method investees' assets and liabilities are included in “Other comprehensive income (loss)”. Debt instruments and finance lease obligations ("long-term debt") and operating lease liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars have been designated as a hedge of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries and foreign equity method investees. As a result, unrealized FX gains and losses on U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt and operating lease liabilities, designated as a hedge, are offset against FX gains and losses arising from the translation of foreign subsidiaries’ and foreign equity method investees' accounts in “Other comprehensive income (loss)”.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid short-term investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less, but excludes cash and cash equivalents subject to restrictions.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents

Restricted cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage, in accordance with specific agreements, are presented as restricted cash and cash equivalents on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets when applicable. In the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, these balances, if any, are included with cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable from customers are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less allowance for expected credit losses. Losses on accounts receivable are estimated based on historical credit loss experience of receivables with similar risk characteristics. Historical loss experience is adjusted to reflect any management expectations that current or future conditions will differ from conditions that existed for the period over which historical information is evaluated.

To determine expected credit losses, receivables are disaggregated by credit characteristics, type of customer service, customer line of business, and receivable aging. Receivables are considered to be in default and are written off against the allowance for credit losses when it is probable that all remaining contractual payments due will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the customer contracts. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to earnings in the period recovered

Materials and supplies

Materials and supplies

Materials and supplies are carried at the lower of average cost or market value and consist primarily of fuel and parts used in the repair and maintenance of track structures, equipment, locomotives and freight cars.

Properties

Properties

Fixed asset additions and major renewals are recorded at cost, including direct costs, attributable indirect costs and carrying costs, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. When there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of property, a liability, when reliably estimable, is initially recognized at its fair value and a corresponding asset retirement cost is added to the gross book value of the related asset and amortized to expense over the estimated term to retirement. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its properties whenever changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable based on future undiscounted cash flows. When such properties are determined to be impaired, recorded asset values are revised to their fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.

The Company recognizes expenditures as additions to properties or operating expenses based on whether the expenditures increase the output or service capacity, lower the associated operating costs or extend the useful life of the properties and whether the expenditures exceed minimum physical and financial thresholds.

Much of the additions to properties, both new and replacement properties, are self-constructed. These are initially recorded at cost, including direct costs and attributable indirect costs, overheads and carrying costs. Direct costs include, among other things, labour costs, purchased services, equipment costs, material costs, project supervision costs, and fringe benefits. Attributable indirect costs and overheads include incremental long-term variable costs resulting from the execution of capital projects. Indirect costs mainly include work trains, material distribution, highway vehicles, and work equipment. Overheads primarily include a portion of the engineering department’s costs, which plans, designs, and administers these capital projects. These costs are allocated to projects by applying a measure consistent with the nature of the cost, based on cost studies. For replacement properties, the project costs are allocated to dismantling and installation based on cost studies. Dismantling work, which is expensed, is performed concurrently with the installation.

Ballast programs including undercutting, shoulder ballasting and renewal programs that form part of the annual track program are capitalized as this work, and the related added ballast material, significantly improves drainage, which in turn extends the life of ties and other track materials. These costs are tracked separately from the underlying assets and depreciated over the period to the next estimated similar ballast program. Spot replacement of ballast is considered a repair, which is expensed as incurred.

The costs of large refurbishments are capitalized and locomotive overhauls are expensed as incurred, except where overhauls represent a betterment of the locomotive in which case costs are capitalized.

The Company capitalizes development costs for major new computer systems.

The Company follows group depreciation, which groups assets that are similar in nature and have similar economic lives. The property groups are depreciated on a straight-line basis reflecting their expected economic lives determined by depreciation studies. Depreciation studies are regular reviews of asset service lives, salvage values, accumulated depreciation, and other related factors. Depreciation rates are established through these studies. Actual use and retirement of assets may vary from current estimates, and would be identified in the next study. These changes in expected economic lives would impact the amount of depreciation expense recognized in future periods. All track assets are depreciated using a straight-line method, which recognizes the value of the asset consumed as a percentage of the whole life of the asset.

When depreciable property is retired or otherwise disposed of in the normal course of business, the book value, less net salvage proceeds, is charged to accumulated depreciation and if different than the assumptions under the depreciation study could potentially result in adjusted depreciation expense over a period of years. However, when removal costs exceed the salvage value on assets and the Company has no legal obligation to remove the assets, the removal costs incurred are charged to income in the period in which the assets are removed and are not charged to accumulated depreciation.

For certain asset classes, the historical cost of the asset is separately recorded in the Company’s property records. This amount is retired from the property records upon retirement of the asset. For assets for which the historical cost cannot be separately identified the amount of the gross book value to be retired is estimated using either an indexation methodology, whereby the current replacement cost of the asset is indexed to the estimated year of installation for the asset, or a first-in, first-out approach, or statistical analysis is used to determine the age of the retired asset. The Company uses indices that closely correlate to the principal costs of the assets.

There are a number of estimates inherent in the depreciation and retirement processes and as it is not possible to precisely estimate each of these variables until a group of property is completely retired, the Company regularly monitors the estimated service lives of assets and the associated accumulated depreciation for each asset class to ensure depreciation rates are appropriate. If the recorded amounts of accumulated depreciation are greater or less than the amounts indicated by the depreciation studies, then the excess or deficit is amortized as a component of depreciation expense over the remaining service lives of the applicable asset classes.

For the sale or retirement of larger groups of depreciable assets that are unusual and were not considered in the Company’s depreciation studies, the Company records a gain or loss for the difference between net proceeds and net book value of the assets sold or retired. The accumulated depreciation to be retired includes asset-specific accumulated depreciation, when known, and an appropriate portion of the accumulated depreciation recorded for the relevant asset class as a whole, calculated using a cost-based allocation.

Revisions to the estimated useful lives and net salvage projections constitute a change in accounting estimate and are addressed prospectively by amending depreciation rates.

Equipment under finance lease is included in Properties and depreciated over the period of expected use.

Leases

Leases

The Company has leases for rolling stock, buildings, vehicles, railway equipment, roadway machines, and information systems hardware. The Company has entered into rolling stock and roadway machine leases that are fully variable or contain both fixed and variable components. Variable components are dependent on the hours and miles that the underlying equipment has been used. Fixed-term, short-term, and variable operating lease costs are recorded in "Equipment rents" and "Purchased services and other" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Components of finance lease costs are recorded in "Depreciation and amortization" and "Net interest expense" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company determines lease existence and classification at the lease inception date. Leases are identified when an agreement conveys the right to control identified property for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company recognizes both an operating lease liability and right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for operating leases with fixed terms and in-substance fixed terms. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments include fixed and variable payments that are based on an index or a rate. If the Company's leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate, the Company uses internal incremental secured borrowing rates for comparable tenor in the same currency at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating and finance lease ROU assets also include lease prepayments and initial direct costs, but are reduced by lease incentives. The lease term may include periods associated with options to extend or exclude periods associated with options to terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise these options.

The Company has short-term operating leases with terms of 12 months or less, some of which include options to purchase that the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise. The Company has elected to apply the recognition exemption and, as such, accounts for leases with a term of 12 months or less off-balance sheet. Therefore, lease payments on these short-term operating leases are not included in operating lease ROU assets and liabilities, but are recognized as an expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Further, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all leases, except for leases of roadway machines and information systems hardware.

Assets held for sale

Assets held for saleAssets to be disposed that meet the held for sale criteria are reported in "Other assets" at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value, less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. This classification is applied at the date at which applicable criteria for recognition are met.

Government Assistance

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, the Company records government assistance from various levels of the 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 the Company should purchase, construct, or otherwise acquire property, plant, and equipment. Under certain government assistance arrangements, there is a secondary condition that requires the Company 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 the Company's intention to comply with all conditions imposed by the terms of the government assistance. Government assistance received or receivable related to the Company's property assets is deducted from the cost of the assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within "Properties" and amortized over the same period as the related assets in "Depreciation and amortization" in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated at the date of the business combination to the reporting unit that is expected to benefit from the business acquisition which, after integration of operations with the railway network, may be different than the acquired business.

The carrying value of goodwill, which is not amortized, is assessed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year as at October 1, or more frequently as economic events dictate. The Company has the option of performing an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value or proceeding directly to a quantitative impairment test. Qualitative factors include but are not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and events such as notable changes in management or customers. If the assessment of qualitative factors indicates that the carrying value is less than the fair value, then performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. The quantitative assessment compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, goodwill is impaired. The impairment charge that would be recognized is the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the reporting unit, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

The Company defines the fair value of a reporting unit as the price expected to be received to sell the entire reporting unit in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the impairment date. In order to determine the fair value of a reporting unit, the Company uses the discounted cash flow method with a pre-tax discount rate, reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset(s).

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Favourable leases, customer relationships, and interline contracts have amortization periods up to 20 years. When there is a change in the estimated useful life of an intangible asset with a finite life, amortization is adjusted prospectively.

The Company tests the recoverability of its intangible assets whenever future undiscounted cash flows indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and fair value.

Pensions and other benefits

Pensions and other benefits

Pension costs are actuarially determined using the projected benefit method pro-rated over the credited service periods of employees. This method incorporates management’s best estimates of expected plan investment performance, salary escalation, and retirement ages of employees. The expected return on plan assets is calculated using market-related asset values developed from a five-year average of market values for the fund’s public equity securities and absolute return strategies (with each prior year’s market value adjusted to the current date for assumed investment income during the intervening period) plus the market value of the fund’s fixed income, real estate, infrastructure, and private debt securities, subject to the market-related asset value not being greater than 120% of the market value nor being less than 80% of the market value. The discount rate used to determine the projected benefit obligation is based on blended market interest rates on high-quality debt instruments with matching cash flows. Unrecognized actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and the market-related value of plan assets are amortized over the expected average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan (approximately 13 years). Prior service costs arising from collectively bargained amendments to pension plan benefit provisions are amortized over the term of the applicable union agreement. Prior service costs arising from all other sources are amortized over the expected average remaining service period of active employees who are expected to receive benefits under the plan at the date of amendment.

Costs for post-retirement and post-employment benefits other than pensions, including post-retirement health care and life insurance and some workers’ compensation and long-term disability benefits in Canada, are actuarially determined on a basis similar to pension costs.

The over or under funded status of defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans are measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation, and are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, any unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs that arise during the period are recognized as a component of “Other comprehensive income (loss)”, net of tax.

Gains and losses on post-employment benefits that do not vest or accumulate, including some workers’ compensation and long-term disability benefits in Canada, are included immediately on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income as "Other components of net periodic benefit recovery".

The current service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is reported in "Compensation and benefits" for pensions and post-retirement benefits, and in "Purchased services and other" for self-insured workers' compensation and long-term disability benefits on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Other components of net periodic benefit cost or recovery are reported in "Other components of net periodic benefit recovery" outside of Operating income on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

Capitalization of pension costs, when applicable, is restricted to the current service cost component of net periodic benefit cost.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are contracts that give rise to a financial asset of one party and a financial liability or equity instrument of another party. Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value, which is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s-length transaction between willing parties.

Subsequent measurement depends on how the financial instruments have been classified. Accounts receivable and other investments, classified as loans and receivables, are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method. Cash and cash equivalents and derivatives are classified as held for trading and are measured at fair value. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term borrowings, other long-term liabilities, and long-term debt are also measured at amortized cost.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial and commodity instruments may be used from time to time by the Company to manage its exposure to risks relating to foreign currency exchange rates, stock-based compensation, interest rates, and fuel prices. When the Company utilizes derivative instruments in hedging relationships, the Company identifies, designates, and documents those hedging transactions and regularly tests the transactions to demonstrate effectiveness in order to continue hedge accounting.

All derivative instruments are classified as held for trading and recorded at fair value. Any change in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges is recognized in the period in which the change occurs in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income in the line item to which the derivative instrument is related.

For fair value hedges, the periodic changes in value are recognized in income, on the same line as the changes in value of the hedged items are also recorded. For designated cash flow hedges, the changes in value of the hedging instrument is recognized in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” and remains in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” until the related hedged item settles, at which time amounts recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” are reclassified to the same income or balance sheet account that records the hedged item. The changes in value of the hedging instrument is recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income if derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are subsequently de-designated.

Cash flows relating to derivative instruments designated as hedges are included in the same category as the related hedged items on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Environmental remediation

Environmental remediation

Environmental remediation accruals, recorded on an undiscounted basis unless a reliably determinable estimate as to amount and timing of costs can be established, cover site-specific remediation programs. The accruals are recorded when the costs to remediate are probable and reasonably estimable. Certain future costs to monitor sites are discounted at an adjusted risk-free rate. Provisions for environmental remediation costs are recorded in “Other long-term liabilities”, except for the current portion, which is recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation

The Company follows the fair value based approach to account for stock options. Compensation expense and an increase in “Additional paid-in capital” are recognized for stock options over their vesting period or over the period from the grant date to the date employees become eligible to retire, when this is shorter than the vesting period, based on their fair values on the grant date as determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Forfeitures are estimated at issuance and monitored on a periodic basis. Any consideration paid by employees on exercise of stock options is credited to “Share capital” when the option is exercised and the recorded fair value of the option is removed from “Additional paid-in capital" and credited to “Share capital”.

Compensation expense is also recognized for performance share units (“PSUs”), performance deferred share units ("PDSUs"), deferred share units ("DSUs"), and restricted share units (“RSUs”) that settle in cash using the fair value method. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period or over the period from the grant date to the date employees become eligible to retire, when this is shorter than the vesting period where applicable. Forfeitures are estimated at issuance and monitored on a periodic basis.

The employee share purchase plan gives rise to compensation expense that is recognized using the issue price by amortizing the cost over the vesting period.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]

Accounting changes

Implemented in 2022

Government Assistance

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the new 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 1 and Note 12 for further discussion on government assistance.

All other accounting pronouncements that became effective during the period covered by the 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 plans to adopt this update from January 1, 2023, with anticipation that upon obtaining effective control of Kansas City Southern ("KCS") following approval by the Surface Transportation Board ("STB"), any contract assets and liabilities of KCS will be recorded in the purchase price allocation in compliance with the update.

All other recently issued accounting pronouncements have been assessed and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(1) Investments measured at net asset value ("NAV"):

Amounts are comprised of certain investments measured using NAV (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. These investments have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

(2) Government & Corporate Bonds:

Fair values for bonds are based on market prices supplied by independent sources as of the last trading day.

(3) Mortgages:

The fair values of mortgages are based on current market yields of financial instruments of similar maturity, coupon and risk factors.

(4) Real estate:

Real estate fund values are based on the NAV of the funds that invest directly in real estate investments. The values of the investments have been estimated using the capital accounts representing the plans' ownership interest in the funds. Of the total, $595 million is subject to redemption frequencies ranging from monthly to annually and a redemption notice period of 90 days (2021 – $613 million). The remaining $127 million is not subject to redemption and is normally returned through distributions as a result of the liquidation of the underlying real estate investments (2021 – $119 million). As at December 31, 2022, there are $40 million of unfunded commitments for real estate investments (December 31, 2021 – $32 million).

(5) Infrastructure:

Infrastructure fund values are based on the NAV of the funds that invest directly in infrastructure investments. The values of the investments have been estimated using the capital accounts representing the plans' ownership interest in the funds. Of the total, $356 million is subject to redemption frequencies ranging from monthly to annually and a redemption notice period of 90 days (2021 – $107 million). The remaining $388 million is not subject to redemption and is normally returned through distributions as a result of the liquidation of the underlying infrastructure investments (2021 – $156 million). As at December 31, 2022, there are $356 million of unfunded commitments for infrastructure investments (December 31, 2021 – $814 million).

(6) Private debt:

The values of the investments have been estimated using the capital accounts representing the plans' ownership interest in the funds. Of the total, $160 million is subject to redemption frequencies ranging from monthly to annually and a redemption notice period of 90 days (2021 – $152 million). The remaining $832 million is not subject to redemption and is normally returned through distributions as a result of the repayment of the underlying loans (2021 - $530 million). As at December 31, 2022, there are $747 million of unfunded commitments for private debt investments (December 31, 2021 – $774 million).

(7) Derivatives:

The investment managers may utilize the following derivative instruments: equity futures to replicate equity index returns (Level 2); currency forwards to partially hedge foreign currency exposures (Level 2); bond forwards to reduce asset/liability interest rate risk exposures (Level 2); interest rate swaps to manage duration and interest rate risk (Level 2); credit default swaps to manage credit risk (Level 2); and options to manage interest rate risk and volatility (Level 2). The Company may utilize derivatives directly, but only for the purpose of hedging foreign currency exposures.
