Canadian Pacific Railway Announces 15 Percent Increase in Q3 Revenues

CALGARY — Canadian Pacific Railway announced a 15 percent increase in third quarter revenues with gains across most lines of business.

Reported net income was $197.3 million and diluted earnings per share were $1.17, both down 6 per cent over third-quarter 2009 which included other specified items of $0.41 per share principally from significant real estate sales. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 27 per cent to $1.21.

“CP delivered another strong quarter of financial performance on double digit revenue growth and an improved operating ratio,” said Fred Green, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are building a solid foundation based on safety, service reliability and operational efficiencies that continue to drive value to our employees, customers and shareholders.”

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. 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.
