What Does a Vote for the NMC Mean?


What does a vote for the NMC mean? - Support for management change

- Valuable skills and new perspectives for the Board


- Three independent Canadian directors and Board representation for a major shareholder What a vote for the NMC does NOT mean: - Not a change of control; NMC will be five of 13 or 15 directors - Pershing Square would have two of 13 or 15 Board seats (proportionate to ownership)

- The entire, refreshed Board will make the CEO hiring decision
We are confident that with a shareholder mandate, the Board will make the right CEO decision

DM&E Acquisition was a Mistake


High valuation $1.5bn + $300mm of capex deficiency = 18x EBIT of ~$100mm - What was the return to shareholders on this capital?
-

No compelling strategic rationale


-

Extremely expensive option to be the 3rd rail carrier in PRB

Irresponsible financing
-

Excess leverage forced equity raise at market bottom

Diverted capital and management focus away from core franchise and necessary operational improvements Reputedly a poison pill to fend off financial and strategic acquirers OR at time of acquisition was ~70%; should have been margin accretive

For example, if transit time was 100 hours and the standard deviation was 20 hours, the coefficient of variation would be 20 percent. A lower coefficient of variation reflects a more consistent transit time.

CP Suffers from Vicious Cycle


Less Efficient and Less Disciplined Operations

Diminished Investment and Balance Sheet Flexibility

Poor Discipline Poor Complacent Stewardship by Culture Board & CEO

Lesser Service, Lower Yield, Lost Share

Less Cash Flow, Poor Returns on Capital

Cost Inefficiency, Poor Asset Utilization, Poor Operating Margins

What is CPs Detailed Plan?

What is CPs Detailed Plan


Current Multi-Year Plan (MYP) is not Fred Greens first plan CP has had at least 10 distinct plans / initiatives during Greens tenure Many aspects of the current Detailed Plan are previous initiatives rebranded as MYP Greens most recent MYP projections (as of 1/30/2012) are driven by substantially increased volume expectations

52

That Depends on When You Ask

June 2011 Detailed Plan Driven by various productivity and efficiency initiatives Assumed 2-3% volume growth Three big initiatives of asset velocity, structural costs and the long train principles; I would say those are the three great building blocks that capture some pretty substantial course of what we're doing.

Current Detailed Plan New forecast; now driven by materially above-consensus volume expectations Assumes ~5% volume growth Volume growth drives ~3/4 of expected net OR improvement Revenue growth is integral to achieving lower OR and is dependent on maintaining strong personal relationships with customers.

Five Years of Promises and Claims of Progress

57

November 2005
I expect our team to gain traction on expense reduction and drive step-change productivity improvements across the property I believe this franchise has more to deliver. Im not satisfied with our operating ratio [2006 target was ~75% OR], and Im raising the bar on Execution Excellence as a vehicle to drive accelerated improvements. - Fred Green, Analyst Day

58

November 2006*
It all brings me back to my key message; through Execution Excellence we are transforming this railway into a highly efficient business. The more we do, the more we learn, and the more potential we are seeing. - Fred Green, Analyst Day

59

November 2006
I told you we had a value creation strategy that works. It's delivering results, and we expect our success to continue.
- Fred Green, Analyst Day

60

April 2007
Our focus on network fluidity and Execution Excellence have transformed CP into a more resilient railway, better able to manage through and recover from uncontrollable events. - Fred Green, Q1 2007 Earnings Call

61

November 2008*
We have a series of Vice Presidents who have sat right in front of Kathryn and I and stared us in the eyeballs and told us how they're going to deliver the types of improvements that Brock referred to. And because of that level of attack, level of effort, and that level of commitment, we're able to sit here today and say that we've got a program [Execution Excellence for Efficiency or E3] that over the next couple of years, is another C$100 million.
- Fred Green, Analyst Day
62

October 2009
Our long-train strategy continues to support our cost management efforts and our success is being reflected in key metrics. - Fred Green, Q3 2009 Earnings Call

63

October 2009
We said wed do $100 million in variable costs, and we are clearly going to do that. We also said we were going to attack the structural costs. We didn't know exactly how big it was, but that we thought it was probably at least as big as the variable cost component, but it would take a couple of years to deliver thatdirectionally, everything is consistent with our expectations in that regard. - Fred Green, Q3 2009 Earnings Call

64

January 2010*
Looking at 2010, you can expect more of the same from CP, emphasis on cost management, productivity and the realization of longer-term structural savings. - Fred Green, Q4 2009 Earnings Call

65

June 2010
I would anticipate that we are going to find one or two a year [required sidings to lengthen], where the next bottleneck arises and that's just normal stufffor the most part, the good news is we've done a lot of the stuff in the expensive mountain siding expansions.

- Fred Green, Analyst Day

Is it possible that CP has always been efficient while CN (and every other U.S. Class I rail) improved margins massively?
93

Each Rail has Advantages and Disadvantages


While each Class I rail has specific characteristics, these differences do not explain CPs massive operating profit deficit
CP vs. CN Potential Advantages - Most direct route through the Rockies (100-miles shorter) - Strong franchise, bulk / unit train mix, longer hauls Potential Disadvantages - Steeper Rockies grade - Fewer sidings / double track - Lack of Prince Rupert & Halifax access

- Bakken and ethanol access


- Unencumbered by low density eastern Canada lines

- Less Alberta access


- Low density of U.S. lines

Earlier in his tenure, Fred Green privately told numerous investors that CPs structural disadvantage vs. CN was benchmarked at ~200-300 bps
94

Each Rail has Advantages and Disadvantages


While each Class I rail has specific characteristics, these differences do not explain CPs massive operating profit deficit
CP vs. U.S. Class I Rails Potential Advantages - Canadas natural resource economy is levered to emerging market growth - Nationalized healthcare and lower payroll taxes reduce operating expenses Potential Disadvantages - Northern weather conditions reduce efficiency in winter months - Final Offer Arbitration regulatory process potentially more uncertain

- Less network complexity

95

An Operating Ratio of Mid-60%s is Achievable


CP enjoys an attractive franchise structurally capable of a 65% OR with a proper operating plan and disciplined execution

Over the long-term, the operating ratio is a function of structural business factors, not profit levels at any given time Top down analysis: CN going to low 60%s and U.S. Class I Rails to ~65% - What are CPs structural advantages and disadvantages vs. peers? 2 for 2 success rate: Hunter has transformed both IC and CN to mid / low 60%s ORs
96

A Mid-60%s OR is Achievable in Four Years


Hunters third turnaround, 47 years of experience, 12 more than when joining CN and 21 more than when joining IC
-

Apply the many successful practices, learn and adapt from mistakes

Pace of similar OR improvement at IC and CN was slowed by a declining price environment (IC) and integration of lower margin acquisitions (CN) Decade-plus of experience with CP, Canada, and competitive landscape
-

Customers, terrain / routes, labour, regulations (FOA, interswitching)

Operating plan is proven and successful, similar best operating practices are already in place and producing results for CPs competitor
-

Adoption of concepts by employees / unions, customers, regulators, and other stakeholders will be more rapid given proven success of concepts

Wealth of experience and massive head start enable four year improvement
97

101

Hunters Impact Is Transformational


We will aim to be below 80 percent [operating ratio] in the year 2000. Ambitious goals? Perhaps, but I am convinced that they must be achieved. - Paul M. Tellier, CNs 1996 Annual Report (April 1997)

With an operating ratio of 62.3% during 1997, Illinois Central is one of the most efficiently operating railroads in North America. As a result, a portion of the anticipated synergies from the Acquisition will be derived from the application of Illinois Centrals best practices. - CN / IC Merger Debt Securities Prospectus (May 1998)

Canadian National achieved a 69.6% operating ratio in 2000, utilizing Precision Scheduled Railroading, on the way to the low 60s by the mid-2000s

102

Hunter Plan Precision Scheduled Railroading


The Precision Scheduled Railroading plan is the most known and transparent plan in the industry and has an unrivaled track record of results Operating philosophy is detailed in two published books with nearly 300 pages of detail(1) Cultural transformation chronicled in another published book(2) Philosophies described at length to CN and other industry employees at Hunter camps Unrivaled track record of results
- 2 for 2 success rate - Low 60%s operating ratios achieved
