Kansas City Southern
Consolidated Financial Report (unaudited) First Quarter 2023 |
Background and Basis of Presentation
On September 15, 2021, Canadian Pacific Railway Limited, a Canadian corporation (“CPRL”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Kansas City Southern, a Delaware corporation (“KCS”). On December 14, 2021, following approval of the transaction by the shareholders of both CPRL and KCS, receipt of Mexican regulatory approvals, and satisfaction of customary closing conditions and pursuant to the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, CPRL completed the indirect acquisition of KCS. Pending regulatory approval from the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (the “STB”), the shares of KCS common stock were deposited by a subsidiary of CPRL into a voting trust to ensure that KCS operated independently of CPRL during the regulatory review process. On March 15, 2023, the STB issued a final decision approving the Company’s and Kansas City Southern’s (“KCS”) joint merger application, subject to certain conditions. On April 14, 2023 (the “Control Date”), CPRL assumed control of KCS, and filed articles of amendment to change CPRL's name to Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited ("CPKC").
During the period from December 14, 2021 to April 13, 2023, CPRL recorded its investment in KCS using the equity method of accounting. On and from April 14, 2023, KCS became a consolidated subsidiary of CPKC, which was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting.
This Consolidated Financial Report of KCS for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is disclosed by CPKC in order to provide additional information on the financial performance and financial position of KCS during the trust period and is consistent with historical quarterly disclosures that KCS previously provided as a standalone company, to assist with understanding of trends and profitability of KCS prior to CPKC’s acquisition of control. The unaudited interim income information, balance sheet information and cash flow information ("Interim Consolidated Financial Information"), revenue and productivity metrics and other supplemental schedules included in this document for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the comparative period reflect KCS’s results on a stand-alone basis before the effect of the business acquisition that occurred on the Control Date. The Interim Consolidated Financial Information is prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), however, it does not include all disclosures required under GAAP for interim financial statements. This document should be read in conjunction with CPKC’s Q1 2023 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In this document, unless the context indicates otherwise, references to "KCS", or “the Company” are to KCS and its subsidiaries prior to the Control Date. Except where noted, all figures are in millions of U.S. dollars. This Consolidated Financial Report of KCS has been prepared by and is responsibility of KCS’s management. The Company’s independent auditors have not performed a review of this Consolidated Financial Report of KCS.

(i) Excludes Locomotive Gross Ton Miles | | | | |
| | | | |
(ii) Gross velocity is the average train speed between origin and destination in miles per hour calculated as the sum of the miles traveled divided by the sum of total transit hours. Transit hours are measured as the difference between a train’s origin departure and destination arrival date and times broken down by segment across the train route (includes all time spent including crew changes, terminal dwell, delays, and incidents). |
| | | | |
(iii) Terminal dwell is the average amount of time in hours between car arrival to and departure from the yard (excludes cars that move through a terminal on a run-through train, stored, bad ordered, and maintenance-of-way cars). Calculated by dividing the total number of hours cars spent in terminals by the total count of car dwell events. |
| | | | |
(iv) Train length is the average length of a train across its reporting stations, including the origin and intermediate stations. Length of a train is the sum of car and locomotive lengths measured in feet. |
| | | | |
(v) Fuel efficiency is calculated by taking locomotive fuel consumed in gallons divided by thousand gross ton miles (“GTM’s”) net of detours with no associated fuel gallons. GTM’s are the movement of one ton of train weight over one mile calculated by multiplying total train weight by distance the train moved. GTM’s exclude locomotive gross ton miles. |

| | | | | |
The Company believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity as it demonstrates the Company's ability to generate cash for debt obligations, dividend payments, and other strategic opportunities. Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e). As such, free cash flow does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less cash used for investing activities.

Non-GAAP Financial Information (Regulation G)
(in millions)
KCS reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used to review and in certain cases manage the Company's business that fall within the meaning of Regulation G (Disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures) may provide its users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison when reviewing the Company's results.
In financial presentations, KCS has provided financial information adjusted for certain items, which are non-GAAP financial measures. KCS management uses non-GAAP information in its planning and forecasting processes and to further analyze its own financial trends and operational performance, as well as making financial comparisons to prior periods presented on a similar basis. The Company also uses some of these measures internally as part of its incentive compensation plans for management employees. Management believes users of the Company's financial information should consider all of the above factors when evaluating KCS's results.
These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP measures. Some of KCS's non-GAAP measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures.

Adjusted operating ratio - see (a) and (b) below | | 64.6% | | 60.9% |
(a)The Company believes adjusted operating expenses, operating income and operating ratio are meaningful as they allow users to evaluate the Company's performance for different periods on a more comparable basis by adjusting for items that are not directly related to the ongoing operations of the Company.
(b)Operating ratio is calculated by dividing operating expenses by revenues; or in the case of adjusted operating ratio, adjusted operating expenses divided by revenues.
