Release: Immediate, April 27, 2004

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY CLOSES FIRST QUARTER WITH STRONG MOMENTUM

  Operating income, excluding impact of foreign exchange, up 9%
 
  Freight volumes up 11%, despite weather-related service disruptions
 
  Strong finish provides momentum into second quarter

CALGARY — Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX/NYSE: CP) reported a decline in net income to $24 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, from $102 million in the same period of 2003. On the same basis, diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.15, compared with $0.64. The railway said the $78-million decrease in net income was due to a net loss of $14 million in foreign exchange on long-term debt in the first quarter of 2004, compared with a net gain of $64 million in the same period a year earlier.

On an ongoing basis, CPR’s results improved operationally throughout the first quarter of 2004. Excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt, net income of $38 million (non-GAAP) and EPS of $0.24 (non-GAAP) in first-quarter 2004 were slightly ahead of $37 million and $0.23 in first-quarter 2003. This was achieved despite disruptions caused by severe weather and a major avalanche in January.

Rob Ritchie, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “The worst avalanche in eight years and severe weather early in the quarter hit us hard in our western corridors over a two-week period. With heavy freight volumes fully consuming available capacity, there was no opportunity to recover the lost volumes in the quarter. This took approximately $25 million out of operating income and cost us about $0.10 on EPS. However, we staged a comeback that saw our railway running more efficiently than ever, and exited the quarter with very strong business fundamentals. In March, compared with February, overall business (revenue ton-miles of freight) increased sharply by 17 per cent, and average train weight climbed 5 per cent. This momentum has carried into the second quarter.”

CPR’s operating income in the first quarter of 2004 was $116 million, compared with $118 million in the same period of 2003. Its operating ratio for the three-month period was 86.9 per cent, compared with 86.6 per cent. The Canadian dollar’s 16 per cent year-over-year gain against the U.S. dollar had a substantial negative impact on operating income in the first quarter of 2004, compared with first-quarter 2003.

Fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar affect CPR’s results because U.S. dollar-denominated revenues and expenses are translated into Canadian dollars. A stronger Canadian dollar reduces U.S. dollar-denominated revenues and expenses. Operating income is also reduced because more revenues than expenses are generated in U.S. dollars. In the first quarter, revenues were reduced by approximately $59 million, operating expenses by approximately $46 million, and operating income by approximately $13 million. After-tax income, excluding foreign exchange on long-term debt, was reduced by $4 million, or $0.02 per fully diluted share.

Total revenues in the first quarter of 2004 were $887 million, compared with $879 million in the same period a year earlier. Revenues in CPR’s bulk commodity sector increased $19 million, or 5 per cent over revenues in first-quarter 2003 as a result of strong demand from Pacific Rim countries for raw materials. Intermodal revenue increased $27 million, or 12 per cent, reflecting higher volumes at the ports of Vancouver and Montreal and a temporary market shift caused by a month-long strike at CN. In the merchandise sector, which includes forest and industrial products and automotive, revenues declined $27 million, or 10 per cent, largely due to the stronger Canadian dollar.

Operating expenses were $771 million in the first quarter of 2004, compared with $761 million in the same period of 2003. Compensation and benefits expense increased 8 per cent over first-quarter 2003. The increase was driven by hiring to handle the 11-per-cent volume growth, higher pension costs and inflation. These higher costs were partially offset by the beneficial impact of foreign exchange and cost containment measures, including job reductions as CPR continued to meet targets announced in June 2003. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 10 per cent, reflecting CPR’s investments in new assets and depreciation rate revisions. Although higher freight volumes and fuel prices drove up fuel expense, the increase was more than offset by improved fuel efficiency and foreign exchange rates. Materials, equipment rents and purchased services declined by 6 per cent.

Excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt, CPR’s effective income tax rate rose to 34 per cent in first-quarter 2004, compared with 32 per cent in the same period of 2003. The increase was largely due to the government of Ontario’s repeal of previously announced future income tax rate reductions.

Outlook

“There has been a dramatic surge in demand across most of CPR’s lines of business and we are working with our customers to assess the sustainability of this new level of demand,” Mr. Ritchie said. “Our short-term response is to hire crews for trains, increase the number and productivity of freight cars and bring on 41 high-performance locomotives in the second quarter of 2004 and another 25 in the fourth quarter. We are continuing to drive improved efficiency into our intermodal trains through changes to our integrated operating plan. Despite these measures, we expect capacity in some areas of CPR’s network to remain tight in the medium term, particularly for bulk and intermodal traffic on our western corridors. In addition, current market conditions are favourable for CPR to deliver price increases.”

Should the currency environment remain unchanged, the year-over-year impact of foreign exchange on quarterly financial results is expected to ease beginning in the second quarter. Given revised 2004 assumptions of an average exchange rate of $1.33 per U.S. dollar (US$0.75) and a grain crop approaching normal production, CPR expects 2004 revenues to grow in the range of 4 per cent to 6 per cent over 2003. Assuming an average West Texas Intermediate oil price of US$33 per barrel and factoring in the impact of the previously reported change in tax rates in the province of Ontario, CPR is now targeting diluted EPS growth in 2004, excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt, of 5 per cent to 10 per cent over restated and adjusted EPS of $2.07 in 2003.

RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVE FIGURES FOR 2003

Comparative figures for prior periods have been restated (see appendix) for retroactively applied accounting changes. The changes relate to the implementation of new accounting rules under

2


Table of Contents

Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for asset retirement obligations introduced in the first quarter of 2004 and for the expensing of stock options introduced in the fourth quarter of 2003. The combined impact of the changes is a decrease of $0.4 million in net income, or $0.01 in basic EPS previously reported for the first quarter of 2003. Notes 2, 6 and 9 to the financial statements further describe the impact of the accounting changes.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAINS AND LOSSES ON LONG-TERM DEBT

In the first quarter of 2004, CPR had a foreign exchange loss on long-term debt of $13 million ($14 million after tax), compared with a gain of $71 million ($64 million after tax) in the same period of 2003.

PRESENTATION OF NON-GAAP EARNINGS

CPR presents non-GAAP operating earnings to provide a basis for evaluating underlying earnings trends that can be compared with the prior period’s results. Non-GAAP earnings exclude foreign currency translation effects on long-term debt, which can be volatile and short term and are not among CPR’s normal ongoing revenues and operating expenses. The impact of volatile, short-term rate fluctuations on foreign-denominated debt is only realized when long-term debt matures or is settled. A reconciliation of income, excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt, to net income as presented in the financial statements is detailed in the attached Summary of Rail Data.

It should be noted that CPR’s operating earnings, excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt, as described in this news release, have no standardized meanings and are not defined by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2004

(unaudited)

1   Basis of presentation
 
    These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with the policies used in preparing Canadian Pacific Railway Limited’s (“CPR”, “the Company” or “Canadian Pacific Railway”) 2003 annual consolidated financial statements, except as discussed in Note 2, and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements.
 
2   New accounting policies
 
    Hedging transactions
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Accounting Guideline 13 (“AcG 13”) “Hedging Relationships.” AcG 13 addresses the identification, designation, documentation, and effectiveness of hedging transactions for the purpose of applying hedge accounting. It also establishes conditions for applying, and the discontinuance of, hedge accounting and hedge effectiveness testing requirements. Under the new guideline, the Company is required to document its hedging transactions and explicitly demonstrate that hedges are effective in order to continue hedge accounting for positions hedged with derivatives. Any derivative financial instruments that fail to meet the hedging criteria will be accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Committee (“EIC”)-128 “Accounting for Trading, Speculative or Non-Hedging Derivative Financial Instruments.” These instruments will be recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value and changes in fair value will be recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs.
 
    In connection with the implementation of AcG 13, the Company considered its hedging relationships at January 1, 2004, and determined that its cross-currency interest rate swap agreements, with a notional amount of CDN$105 million, at December 31, 2003, no longer qualified for hedge accounting for Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) purposes. At January 1, 2004, an unrealized gain of $2.2 million was recorded in “Other Assets and Deferred Charges” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and is being recognized in income currently, and in the future, over the term of the originally designated hedged item.
 
    Beginning January 1, 2004, derivative instruments that don’t qualify as hedges and those not designated as hedges are being carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value and will result in gains and losses being recorded on the Statement of Consolidated Income. The earnings impact of these non-hedging derivative instruments was a $4.6-million pre-tax gain and has been reported as “Gain on non-hedging derivative instruments” in “Other Charges” (see Note 3).
 
    Asset retirement obligations
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted retroactively with restatement the CICA Handbook Section 3110, “Asset Retirement Obligations,” to replace the current guidance on future removal costs included in the CICA Accounting Standard 3061 “Property, Plant and Equipment.” The new standard requires recognition of a liability at its fair value for any legal obligation associated with the retirement of property, plant and equipment when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. A corresponding asset retirement cost would be added to the carrying amount of the related asset and amortized to expense on a systematic and rational basis. The standard does not allow the Company’s prior practice of recognizing removal costs in excess of salvage proceeds over the life of the asset when they are not legal obligations.
 
    The result of this restatement was to reduce retained earnings on January 1, 2003, by $23.5 million and future income tax liability by $8.1 million and increase properties by $3.4 million, deferred liabilities by $29.7 million, and foreign currency translation adjustment by $5.3 million. There was no effect on net income or earnings per share in the first quarter of 2003.

2   New accounting policies (continued)
 
    Stock-based compensation
In the fourth quarter of 2003, CPR adopted the fair value-based approach of the CICA’s Handbook Section 3870 “Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments.” The Company adopted the new accounting rules effective January 1, 2003, on a prospective basis for options issued for years beginning in 2003. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, “Compensation and Benefits” expense was increased by $0.4 million. The adoption caused a $0.01 reduction in basic earnings per share in the first quarter of 2003.

5   Restructuring and environmental remediation
 
    At March 31, 2004, the provision for restructuring and environmental remediation was $449.5 million (December 31, 2003 – $462.2 million). This provision primarily includes labour liabilities for restructuring plans. Payments are expected to continue in diminishing amounts until 2025. The environmental remediation liability includes the cost of a multi-year soil remediation program.
 
    Set out below is a reconciliation of CPR’s liabilities associated with restructuring and environmental remediation programs:

    The Company recorded two liabilities related to asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) totalling $31.6 million as at January 1, 2004. The liabilities were discounted at 6.25%.
 
    The accretion expense related to these AROs in the first quarter is $0.5 million, increasing the ARO liability to $32.1 million. This accretion expense is included in “Depreciation and Amortization” on the Statement of Consolidated Income.
 
    Upon the ultimate retirement of grain-dependent branch lines the Company has to pay a fee, levied under the Canada Transportation Act, of $30,000 per mile of abandoned track. The undiscounted amount of the liability is $60.7 million, which, when present valued, is $31.2 million as at March 31, 2004. The payments are expected to be made in 2004 – 2054.

6   Asset retirement obligations (continued)
 
    The Company also has a liability on a joint facility that will have to be settled based on a proportion of use during the life of the asset. The current estimate of the obligation is $13.3 million, which, when present valued, is $0.9 million as at March 31, 2004. For purposes of estimating this liability, the payment related to the retirement of the joint facility is estimated to be in 40 years.
 
7   Issuance of long-term debt
 
    During the quarter, CPR issued 5.41% Senior Secured Notes, maturing 2024, for US$145.0 million to finance the purchase of locomotives. The Notes are secured by specific locomotive units. Equal blended semi-annual payments of principal and interest of US$5.3 million are due on March 3 and September 3 of each year, up to and including September 3, 2023. Final payment of the remaining interest and principal will be made on March 3, 2024.
 
8   Earnings per share
 
    At March 31, 2004, the number of shares outstanding was 158.7 million.
 
    Basic earnings per share have been calculated using net income for the period divided by the weighted average number of CPR shares outstanding during the period.
 
    Diluted earnings per share have been calculated using the treasury stock method, which gives effect to the dilutive value of outstanding options.
 
    The number of shares used in earnings per share calculations is reconciled as follows:

9   Stock-based compensation
 
    In 2004, under CPR’s stock option plans, the Company issued 1,741,400 options to purchase Common Shares at the weighted average price of $32.50 per share, based on the closing price on the day prior to the grant date. In tandem with these options, 555,700 SARs were issued at the weighted average exercise price of $32.50.
 
    Pursuant to the employee plan, options may be exercised upon vesting, which is between 24 and 36 months after the grant date, and will expire after 10 years. Some options vest after 48 months, unless certain performance targets are achieved, in which case vesting is accelerated. These options expire five years after the grant date.
 
    The following is a summary of the Company’s fixed stock option plan as of March 31:

    In the fourth quarter of 2003, CPR prospectively adopted the fair value-based approach to accounting for stock-based compensation for options issued for years beginning in 2003. Beginning in 2003, compensation expense is recognized for stock options over their vesting period based on their estimated fair values on the date of grants, as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Had CPR used the fair value method for options granted between January 1, 2002, and December 31, 2002, CPR’s pro forma basis net income and earnings per share would have been as follows:

9   Stock-based compensation (continued)
 
    Under the fair value method, the fair value of options at the grant date is $9.5 million for options issued in the first quarter of 2004 (first quarter of 2003 – $9.1 million). The weighted average fair value assumptions were approximately:

10   Commitments and contingencies
 
    In the normal course of its operations, the Company becomes involved in various legal actions, including claims relating to injuries and damages to property. The Company maintains provisions it considers to be adequate for such actions. While the final outcome with respect to actions outstanding or pending at March 31, 2004, cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
    The Company is investigating environmental contamination at an owned property in the United States that had been leased to third parties. The costs of remediation at this site cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but could be material. The Company believes that the environmental condition was substantially caused by the former lessees and not by the Company. The Company has filed a claim against the former lessees seeking to recover all or substantially all of the costs of remediation.
 
    Capital commitments
At March 31, 2004, CPR had multi-year capital commitments of $499.0 million, mainly for locomotive overhaul agreements, in the form of signed contracts or letters of intent. Payments for these commitments are due in 2004 through 2018.
 
    Operating lease commitments
At March 31, 2004, minimum payments under operating leases were estimated at $423.3 million in aggregate, with annual payments in each of the next 5 years of: remainder of 2004 – $84.6 million; 2005 – $97.7 million; 2006 – $70.4 million; 2007 – $50.6 million; 2008 – $31.1 million.
 
    Guarantees
The Company has residual value guarantees on operating lease commitments of $81.4 million at March 31, 2004.
 
    The maximum amount that could be payable under these and all of the Company’s other guarantees cannot be reasonably estimated due to the nature of certain of the guarantees. All or a portion of amounts paid under certain guarantees could be recoverable from other parties or through insurance. The Company has accrued for all guarantees that it expects to pay. At March 31, 2004, these accruals amounted to $10.0 million.
 
11   Reclassification
 
    Certain prior year’s figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in 2004.
