PRESS RELEASE

·
|
Net income increased from the year-earlier quarter to C$538 million, with diluted earnings per share (EPS) rising four per cent to C$1.18. The results included a net deferred income tax expense of C$40 million, or C$0.08 per diluted share, resulting from the enactment of state corporate income tax rate changes and other legislated state tax revisions.
|
·
|
Excluding the net deferred income tax expense, adjusted diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2011 rose to C$1.26 -- an increase of 12 per cent over C$1.13 for the same quarter of 2010. (1)
|
·
|
Revenues for second-quarter 2011 rose eight per cent to C$2,260 million, while carloadings increased four per cent and revenue ton-miles increased five per cent.
|
·
|
Operating income increased eight per cent to C$874 million.
|
·
|
CN’s operating ratio was 61.3 per cent, essentially in line with the operating ratio of 61.2 per cent for second-quarter 2010.
|
·
|
Free cash flow for the first half of 2011 was C$823 million, compared with C$958 million for the same period of 2010. (1)

The Company has remaining estimated commitments totaling approximately $140 million in relation to the EJ&E acquisition for railroad infrastructure improvements, grade separation projects as well as commitments under a series of agreements with individual communities and a comprehensive voluntary mitigation program established to address surrounding municipalities' concerns. The commitment for the grade separation projects is based on estimated costs provided by the Surface Transportation Board (STB) at the time of acquisition and could be subject to adjustment. In addition, implementation costs associated with the U.S. federal government legislative requirement to implement positive train control (PTC) by 2015 are estimated to be approximately $193 million (US$200 million).
