2011 Assumptions
The 2011 defined benefit pension contributions are currently estimated to be between $100 million to $125 million, lower than our previous estimates of $150 million to $200 million. Defined benefit pension contributions for 2012 to 2015 are estimated to be between $125 million to $175 million. The contribution levels reflect the Company's intention with respect to application of voluntary prepayments. Defined benefit pension expenses in 2011 are expected to be $46 million up from $36 million in 2010.
CP plans to spend in the range of $950 million to $1.05 billion on capital programs in 2011, as announced on January 12, 2011.
CP expects its tax rate to be in the 24 per cent to 26 per cent range in 2011.
Presentation of non-GAAP earnings measures
CP presents non-GAAP earnings measures in this news release to provide an additional basis for evaluating underlying earnings and liquidity trends in its business that can be compared with prior periods' results of operations. Income, diluted earnings per share, operating expense and operating ratio, excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items, are referred to in this news release as "Adjusted earnings", "Adjusted diluted earnings per share", "Adjusted operating expense" and "Adjusted operating ratio".
When foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items are excluded from diluted earnings per share, income and income tax expense, these are non-GAAP measures.
These non-GAAP earnings measures exclude foreign currency translation effects on long-term debt, and related income taxes, which can be volatile and short term. The impact of volatile short-term rate fluctuations on foreign-denominated debt is only realized when long-term debt matures or is settled. Other specified items are material transactions that may include, but are not limited to, restructuring and asset impairment charges, gains and losses on non-routine sales of assets, unusual income tax adjustments, and other items that do not typify normal business activities. A reconciliation of income, excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items, to net income as presented in the financial statements is detailed in the attached Summary of Rail Data. In addition, these non-GAAP measures exclude other specified items (described below) that are not a part of CP's normal ongoing revenues and operating expenses.
The non-GAAP earnings measures described in this news release have no standardized meanings and are not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Foreign exchange gain and loss on long-term debt and other specified items
In fourth-quarter 2009, CP recorded a loss of $38 million after tax charge on the early termination of a shortline railway contract. As well, a tax rate change and an income tax settlement related to a prior year resulted in a net benefit of $56 million.
For the full year 2009, in addition to the other specified items noted above, there was a $69 million after tax gain on the sale of a partnership interest and a $68 million after tax gain on the sale of significant real estate. CP also had a gain on long-term floating rate notes of $5 million after tax, compared to a gain of $2 million after tax, recorded for full year 2010.
CP had a net foreign exchange loss after tax of $5 million on long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with a gain of $3 million after tax in fourth-quarter 2009.
For the full year 2010, CP had a net foreign exchange loss on long-term debt of $6 million, compared with a net foreign exchange loss of $28 million after tax for the full year 2009.
As part of a consolidated financing strategy, CP structures its U.S. dollar long-term debt in different taxing jurisdictions. As well, a portion of this debt is designated as a net investment hedge against our net investment in foreign subsidiaries. Although the taxes on foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt generally offset one another, because they may be in different tax jurisdictions, the resulting net tax can vary significantly.
CP began reporting its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP as of January 1, 2010. All prior period comparative numbers contained in this release conform to U.S. GAAP. Additional historical U.S. GAAP financial reports can be found at www.cpr.ca.

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY LIMITED NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION DECEMBER 31, 2010 (unaudited) 1 Basis of presentation These unaudited consolidated financial statements of Canadian Pacific Railway Limited ("CP", "the Company" or "Canadian Pacific Railway") reflect management's estimates and assumptions that are necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). They do not include all disclosures required under GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2009 U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements. The policies used are consistent with the policies used in preparing the 2009 U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements, except as discussed in Note 2. The Company's investments in which CP has significant influence, which are not consolidated, are accounted for using the equity method. CP's operations can be affected by seasonal fluctuations such as changes in customer demand and weather-related issues. This seasonality could impact quarter-over-quarter comparisons. The irregular pace of the recovery in 2010 from the global recession has affected financial results such that seasonal fluctuations may not be consistent with those in prior years. The timing of a return to seasonal trends consistent with years prior to 2009 will depend on the continued recovery of the economy and the related impact on the Company's customers. 2 Accounting changes Consolidations In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Amendments to Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The guidance retains the scope of the previous guidance and removes the exemption of entities previously considered qualifying special purpose entities. In addition, it replaces the previous quantitative approach with a qualitative analysis approach for determining whether the enterprise's variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The guidance is further amended to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. The guidance is applicable to all variable interest entities that existed at January 1, 2010, the date of adoption, or are created thereafter. The Company has variable interests in variable interest entities, however, the adoption of the new guidance did not change the previous assessment that the Company is not the primary beneficiary and as such does not consolidate the variable interest entities. Accounting for transfers of financial assets The FASB has released additional guidance with respect to the accounting and disclosure of transfers of financial assets such as securitized accounts receivable. Although the Company currently does not have an accounts receivable securitization program, the guidance, which includes revisions to the derecognition criteria in a transfer and the treatment of qualifying special purpose entities, would be applicable to any future securitization. The new guidance is effective for the Company from January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance had no impact to the Company's financial statements. Fair value measurement and disclosure In January 2010, the FASB amended the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The update provides for new disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 financial asset and liability categories and expanded disclosures in the Level 3 reconciliation. The update also provides clarification that the level of disaggregation should be at the class level and that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques are required for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. New disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the expanded disclosures in the Level 3 reconciliation, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Rail grinding During the second quarter of 2010, the Company changed its accounting policy for the treatment of rail grinding costs. In prior periods, CP had capitalized such costs and depreciated them over the expected economic life of the rail grinding. The Company concluded that, although the accounting treatment was within acceptable accounting standards, it is preferable to expense the costs as incurred, given the subjectivity in determining the expected economic life and the associated depreciation methodology. The accounting policy change has been accounted for on a retrospective basis. The effects of the adjustment to January 1, 2010 resulted in an adjustment to decrease net properties by $89.0 million, deferred income taxes by $26.3 million, and shareholders equity by $62.7 million. As a result of the change the following increases (decreases) to financial statement line items occurred: (in millions of Canadian dollars, except per share data) For the three months ended For the year December 31 ended December 31 2010 2009 2010 2009 2008 -------------------------------------------- Changes to Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income Depreciation and amortization $ (4.3) $ (3.5) $(15.7) $(14.0) $ (8.9) Compensation and benefits 0.8 1.0 2.3 2.8 2.7 Fuel - 0.1 - 0.1 0.1 Materials 0.3 0.7 0.8 1.8 1.7 Purchased services and other 4.5 5.2 13.8 15.9 15.4 -------------------------------------------- Total operating expenses 1.3 3.5 1.2 6.6 11.0 Income tax expense (0.5) (0.2) (0.7) (1.2) (3.2) -------------------------------------------- Net income $ (0.8) $ (3.3) $ (0.5) $ (5.4) $ (7.8) -------------------------------------------- Basic earnings per share $ - $(0.02) $ - $(0.03) $(0.05) Diluted earnings per share $ - $(0.02) $ - $(0.03) $(0.05) Other comprehensive income (loss) 0.6 0.3 0.9 2.4 (2.8) -------------------------------------------- Comprehensive income $ (0.2) $ (3.0) $ 0.4 $ (3.0) $(10.6) -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Changes to Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Cash provided by operating activities (decrease) $ (5.6) $ (7.0) $(16.9) $(20.6) $(19.9) Cash used in investing activities (decrease) $ (5.6) $ (7.0) $(16.9) $(20.6) $(19.9) Changes to Consolidated Balance Sheet As at As at As at December 31 December 31 December 31 2010 2009 2008 ------------------------------------- Net properties $ (88.6) $ (89.0) $ (86.2) Deferred income tax liability (26.3) (26.3) (26.5) Accumulated other comprehensive loss (income) 2.5 1.6 (0.8) Retained earnings (64.8) (64.3) (58.9) Future accounting changes There have been no new accounting pronouncements issued that are expected to have a significant impact to the Company's financial statements. 3 Pensions and other benefits In the third quarter of 2010, at the Company's option, a $650 million prepayment to the Company's main Canadian defined benefit pension plan was made. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company chose to accelerate funding of future pension obligations through a voluntary prepayment of approximately $500 million to the Company's defined benefit pension plans.
