Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to2022.
On September 15, 2021, KCS and Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (“CP”), a Canadian corporation, entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) and on December 14, 2021, CP acquired the current year presentation.
During the first quarteroutstanding common and preferred stock of 2017,KCS. Therefore, earnings per share data is not presented as the Company adopteddoes not have any outstanding or issued publicly traded stock. The merger is further discussed in Note 2, Merger Agreement.
In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Improvements2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. The standard is intended to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The Company now recognizes forfeitures as they occur rather than estimating a forfeiture rateincrease transparency of government assistance by requiring disclosures of the following: (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the year. Excess tax benefits or deficiencies resulting fromassistance, and (3) the exercise or vestingeffect of awards are included in income tax expense in the reporting period in which they occur. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity at the beginning of 2017, as disclosed in Note 10 - Equity.
During the third quarter of 2017, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The Company now asserts qualitatively, on a quarterly basis, that the hedging relationship was and continues to be highly effective as long as facts and circumstances related to the hedging relationship have not changed. If facts and circumstances have changed, the Company will perform a quantitative assessment to ensure the hedging relationship is still deemed highly effective. In addition, the ineffective portion of an effective hedge is no longer measured periodically and included in the income statement; rather, the total periodic change in fair value of an effective hedge is included in accumulated other comprehensive incomeassistance on the balance sheet, until settlement occurs. The adoption of the new guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidatedentity’s financial statements as therestatements. This ASU was no ineffectiveness recognized on the Company’s cash flow hedges prior to adoption.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter 2018on January 1, 2022 and the Company plansadopted the ASU prospectively. See Note 4, Property and Equipment for the newly required disclosure.

2. Merger Agreement
On December 14, 2021, CP acquired the outstanding common and preferred stock of KCS. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of KCS that was outstanding immediately prior to adopt the accounting standardmerger was converted into the right to receive (1) 2.884 common shares of CP and (2) $90 in cash (together, the “Merger Consideration”), and each share of preferred stock, par value $25 per share, that was outstanding immediately prior to the merger was converted into the right to receive $37.50 in cash. The Merger Consideration value received by KCS stockholders was $301.20 per KCS common share.
The merger transaction was completed through a series of mergers as outlined in the Merger Agreement. These mergers ultimately resulted in KCS being merged with and into Cygnus Merger Sub 1 Corporation (“Surviving Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CP, with Surviving Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Surviving Merger Sub was renamed “Kansas City Southern” and as successor company of KCS, continued to own the assets of KCS. Immediately following the consummation of the mergers, CP caused the contribution, directly and indirectly, of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Surviving Merger Sub, as successor to KCS, to be deposited into an independent, irrevocable voting trust (the “Voting Trust”) under a voting trust agreement (the “Voting Trust Agreement”) approved by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (“STB”), pending receipt of the final and non-appealable approval or exemption by the STB pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 11323 et seq., of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (“STB Final Approval”). The Voting Trust prevents CP, or any affiliate of CP, from controlling or having the power to control KCS prior to STB Final Approval. Following receipt of STB Final Approval, the Voting Trust will be terminated and CP will acquire control over KCS’s railroad operations.
On December 14, 2021, the merger of KCS and Surviving Merger Sub was accounted for as a recapitalization of KCS’s equity. Upon STB Final Approval, the transaction will be accounted for as a business combination using the modified retrospective transition approach. The modified retrospective transition approach will recognize any changes fromacquisition method of accounting.
Pursuant to the beginningMerger Agreement, KCS paid a cash dividend in the first and third quarters of 2022 of $265.0 million and $200.0 million, respectively, to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CP. Periodic cash distributions may be made to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CP based upon cash generated, the timing of capital expenditures and working capital needs of the year of initial application through retained earnings with no restatement of comparative periods.The Company has substantially completed a review of the likely impacts of the application of the new standard to its existing portfolio of customer contracts. Under the new standard, the Company will continue to recognize freight revenue proportionally as a shipment moves from origin to destination. Furthermore, the Company will be required to assess variable consideration included in its contracts and make judgments and estimates throughout the applicable periods. Certain additional financial statement disclosure requirements are mandated by the new standard including disclosure of contract assets and contract liabilities as well as a disaggregated view of revenue, which the Company expects to be similar to the current disclosures within the “Results of Operations” for revenues section of Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Based on the Company’s review, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Company.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize for all leases a right-to-use asset and a lease obligation in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Expenses are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income in a manner similar to current accounting guidance. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Lessor accounting under the new standard is substantially unchanged. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, will be required. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter 2019 and requires a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company has created a cross functional team to develop an implementation plan for the new standard and is assessing contractual arrangements that may qualify as a lease under the new standard. The Company has selected a lease management system and is progressing towards implementation. At December 31, 2016, KCS disclosed approximately $300 million of operating leases in the contractual obligations table in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K and will evaluate those contracts as well as other existing

arrangements to determine if they qualify for lease accounting under the new standard. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impacts the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.
3. Mexican Fuel Excise Tax Credit
Fuel purchases made in Mexico are subject to an excise tax that is included in the price of fuel. The Company is eligible for and utilizes an available credit for the excise tax included in the price of fuel that is purchased and consumed in locomotives and certain work equipment in Mexico. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, KCS reported $11.5 million and $36.8 million, respectively, of merger-related costs, which primarily related to incentive compensation costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized an $11.1merger-related costs of $36.5 million and $35.6$776.6 million, benefit, respectively, and a $15.6 million and $49.6 million benefit for the same periods in 2016. The Mexican fuel excise tax credit is realized through the offset of the total annual Mexico income tax liability and income tax withholding payment obligations of Kansas City Southern de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“KCSM”), with no carryforward to future periods.

4. Hurricane Harvey
In late August 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the Texas coast and caused flood damage to the Company’s track infrastructure and significantly disrupted the Company’s rail service. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of Hurricane Harvey on the business and intends to file a claim under its insurance program for property damage, incremental expenses, and lost profits caused by Hurricane Harvey. Accordingly, duringrespectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2017,2021, the Company recognized a receivable for probable insurance recovery offsettingmerger costs primarily related to compensation and benefits costs and legal fees. For the impact of incremental expenses recognized in the quarter. The recognition of remaining probable insurance recoveries in excess of incremental expenses and self-insured retention represents a contingent gain, which will be recognized when all contingencies have been resolved, which generally occurs at the time of final settlement or when nonrefundable cash payments are received.nine months ended

5. Earnings Per Share Data
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share adjusts basic earnings per common share for the effects of potentially dilutive common shares, if the effect is not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive common shares include the dilutive effects of shares issuable under the stock option and performance award plans.
The following table reconciles the basic earnings per share computation to the diluted earnings per share computation (in millions, except share and per share amounts):

The Company has historically received assistance from governmental entities, typically in the form of cash, for purposes of making improvements to its rail network as part of public safety and/or economic revitalization initiatives. The governmental entity generally specifies how the monetary assistance is to be spent, and may include limited conditions requiring the Company to return the assistance. The Company accounts for this assistance received as reductions to property and equipment in the period in which the improvement is made, with the assistance being amortized as an offset to depreciation expense over the life of the improvement. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total governmental assistance received, net of accumulated amortization, was $35.5 million and $37.3 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, governmental assistance amortization was $0.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

5. Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities recognized at fair value are required to be classified into a three-level hierarchy. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company’s derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and consist of foreign currency forward and option contracts and treasury lock agreements, which are classified as Level 2 valuations. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative financial instrument positions based upon pricing models using inputs observed from actively quoted markets and also takes into consideration the contract terms as well as other inputs, including market currency exchange rates and in the case of option contracts, volatility, the risk-free interest rate and the time to expiration. The fair value of the foreign currency derivative instruments was an asset of $18.8 million and a liability of $41.1 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and the fair value of the forward treasury lock agreements was a liability of $4.6 million at September 30, 2017. There were no outstanding treasury lock agreements at December 31, 2016.
The Company’s short-term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings. The carrying value of the short-term financial instruments approximates their fair value.

The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using quoted market prices when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on current market interest rates for debt with similar maturities and credit quality. The faircarrying value of the Company’s debt was $2,396.0$3,781.6 million and $2,303.8$3,777.6 million at September 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The carrying value was $2,278.9 million and $2,296.9 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2021, respectively. If the Company’s debt were measured at fair value, the fair value measurements of the individual debt instruments would have been classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

8.6. Derivative Instruments
The Company enters into derivative transactions in certain situations based on management’s assessment of current market conditions and perceived risks. Management intends to respond to evolving business and market conditions and in doing so, may enter into such transactions as deemed appropriate.
Credit Risk. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk. The Company manages this risk by limiting its counterparties to large financial institutions which meet the Company’s credit rating standards and have an established banking relationship with the Company. As of September 30, 2017,2022, the Company did not expect any losses as a result of default of its counterparties.
Interest Rate Derivative Instruments. In May 2017,2020, the Company executed foursix 30-year treasury lock agreements with an aggregate notional value of $275.0$650.0 million and a weighted average interest rate of 2.85%1.58%. The purpose of the treasury locks is to hedge the U.S. Treasury benchmark interest rate associated with future interest payments related to the anticipated refinancing of the $275.0$444.7 million principal amount of KCS 2.35%3.00% senior notes due May 15, 2020.2023 (the “3.00% Senior Notes”) and the $200.0 million principal amount of 3.85% senior notes due November 15, 2023 (the “3.85% Senior Notes”). The Company has designated the treasury locks as cash flow hedges and recorded unrealized gains and losses in Accumulatedaccumulated other comprehensive income.income (loss). For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the total unrealized gain of $232.2 million recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income increased by $174.8 million compared to December 31, 2021, reflecting a change in the value of the treasury locks as U.S. treasury rates rose. Upon settlement, the unrealized gain or loss in Accumulatedaccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the future underlying debt issuance.
Foreign Currency Derivative Instruments. The Company’s Mexican subsidiaries have net U.S. dollar-denominated monetary liabilities which, for Mexican income tax purposes, are subject to periodic revaluation based on changes in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S.U.S dollar. This revaluation creates fluctuations in the Company’s Mexican income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations and the amount of income taxes paid in Mexico. The Company also has net monetary assets denominated in Mexican pesos that are subject to periodic re-measurement and settlement that create fluctuations in foreign currency gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company hedges its net exposure to this cash tax riskforeign currency fluctuations in earnings by entering into foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts known as zero-cost collars.
contracts. The foreign currency forward contracts involve the Company’s purchase ofagreement to buy or sell pesos at an agreed-upon weighted-average exchange rate to each U.S dollar. The zero-cost collars involve the Company’s purchase ofon a Mexican peso call option and a simultaneous sale of a Mexican peso put option, with equivalent U.S. dollar notional amounts for each option and no net cash premium paid by the Company. The Company does not physically exchange currencies upon maturity or expiration of its forward contracts or zero-cost collars. Instead, the Company settles the maturing/expiring transactions by entering into offsetting transactions, which results in a physical exchange of only the net gain or loss between the Company and the counterparty.

8. Refundable Mexican Value Added Tax

collected from customers. These excess VAT payments are refundable by the Mexican government. Prior to 2019, Mexican companies could offset their monthly refundable VAT balance with other tax obligations. In January 2019, Mexico tax reform eliminated the ability to offset other tax obligations with refundable VAT. Over 2019 through 2021, KCSM generated a refundable VAT balance and filed refund claims with the Servicio de Administración Tributaria (the “SAT”), which have not been refunded.

Share Repurchase Programs
During the second quarter of 2017, the Company concluded a $500.0 million share repurchase programVAT paid by KCSM on its expenditures that was announced in May 2015 (the “2015 Program”). In August 2017, the Company announced a new share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $800.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock through June 30, 2020 (the “2017 Program”). Share repurchases may be made in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or through an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) program limited to $200.0 million.
Under an ASR agreement, the Company pays a specified amountsupport international import transportation service revenues that are not subject to a financial institutionVAT charge. VAT that is unrecoverable from the Mexican government results in incremental VAT expense for KCSM. Beginning in 2022, KCSM changed certain service offerings to either require VAT to be charged to customers on revenue, or impose a rate increase to offset the incremental VAT expense. These measures implemented by KCSM increased the VAT to be collected from customers and receives an initial delivery of shares. Upon settlement of the ASR agreement, typically the financial institution delivers additional shares, with the final aggregate number of shares delivered determined with referencepayable to the volume weighted-average price per share of the Company’s common stock over the term of the ASR agreement, less a negotiated discount. The transactions are accounted for as equity transactions with any excess of repurchase price over par value allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. At the time the shares are received, there is an immediate reduction in the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for purposes of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation.Mexican government.

KCSM has prior favorable Mexican court decisions and a legal opinion supporting its right under Mexican law to recover the refundable VAT balance from the Mexican government and believes the VAT to be fully recoverable. KCSM will recover the refundable VAT balance as VAT billed to customers exceeds creditable VAT charged by vendors. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $81.0 million and $78.0 million, respectively, of the refundable VAT balance was classified as a forward contract indexed to the Company’s own common stock and included in capital surplus within Additional paid-in capital in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, and was subsequently settled in October 2017.short-term asset.
Following settlement of the ASR program in October 2017, the Company’s 2017 repurchases of common stock, which includes shares repurchased through the 2015 Program and the 2017 Program, totaled 3,241,978 shares of common stock at an average price of $98.83 per share and a total cost of $320.4 million.
Cash Dividends on Common Stock
On August 15, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.360 per share payable on October 4, 2017, to common stockholders of record as of September 11, 2017.

Litigation. The Occasionally, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings, and regulatory examinations, investigations,
administrative actions, alland other legal matters, arising for the most part in the ordinary course of which, except as set forth below, are of an ordinary, routine nature andbusiness, incidental to its operations. Included in these proceedings are various tort claims brought by current and former employees for job-related injuries and by third parties for injuries related to railroad operations. KCS aggressively defends these matters and has established liability provisions whichthat management believes are adequate to cover expected costs. AlthoughThe outcome of litigation and other legal matters is always uncertain. KCS believes it has valid defenses to the legal matters currently pending against it, is not possibledefending itself vigorously, and has recorded accruals determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, where appropriate. In making a determination regarding accruals, using available information, KCS evaluates the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings to predict with certaintywhich it is a party to and records a loss contingency when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the outcomeamount of any legal proceeding, in the opinion of management, other than those proceedings described in detail below, such proceedings and actions should not, individually, or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effectloss can be reasonably estimated. These subjective determinations are based on the Company’sstatus of such legal or regulatory proceedings, the merits of KCS’s defenses and consultation with legal counsel. Actual outcomes of these legal and regulatory proceedings may materially differ from the current estimates. It is possible that resolution of one or more of the legal matters currently pending or threatened could result in losses material to KCS’s consolidated results of operations, liquidity or financial statements.condition.
Environmental Liabilities. The Company’s U.S. operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. The major U.S. environmental laws to which the Company is subject include, among others, the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA,” also known as the Superfund law), the Toxic Substances Control Act, the FederalClean Water Pollution Control Act, and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act. CERCLA can impose joint and several liabilities for cleanup and investigation costs, without regard to fault or legality of the original conduct, on current and predecessor owners and operators of a site, as well as those who generate, or arrange for the disposal of hazardous substances. The Company does not believe that compliance with the requirements imposed by the environmental lawslegislation will impair its competitive capability or result in any material additional capital expenditures, operating or maintenance costs. The Company is, however, subject to environmental remediation costs as described in the following paragraphs.
The Company’s Mexico operations are subject to Mexican federal and state laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment through the establishment of standards for water discharge, water supply, emissions, noise pollution, hazardous substances and transportation and handling of hazardous and solid waste. The Mexican government may bring administrative and criminal proceedings, impose economic sanctions against companies that violate environmental laws, and temporarily or even permanently close non-complying facilities.
The risk of incurring environmental liability is inherent in the railroad industry. As part of serving the petroleum and chemicals industry, the Company transports hazardous materials and has a professional team available to respond to and handle environmental issues that might occur in the transport of such materials.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
The Company performs ongoing reviews and evaluations of the various environmental programs and issues within the Company’s operations, and, as necessary, takes actions intended to limit the Company’s exposure to potential liability. Although these costs cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the ultimate outcome of identified matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Personal Injury. The Company’s personal injury liability is based on semi-annual actuarial studies performed on an undiscounted basis by an independent third party actuarial firm and reviewed by management. This liability is based on personal injury claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Actual results may vary from estimates due to the number, type and severity of the injury, costs of medical treatments and uncertainties in litigation. Adjustments to the liability are reflected within operating expenses in the period in which changes to estimates are known. Personal injury claims in excess of self-insurance levels are insured up to certain coverage amounts, depending on the type of claim and year of occurrence. The personal injury liability as of September 30, 2017, was2022, is based on an updated actuarial study of personal injury claims through May 31, 2017,April 30, 2022, and review of the last fourfive months’ experience. Although these estimates cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the ultimate outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not expect that these examinations will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. During 2017, the Company received audit assessments from the SAT during the first quarter of 2017 for the KCSM 2009 and 2010 Mexico tax returns. The Company commenced administrative actions with the SAT and if thesethe audit assessments are not nullified,were subsequently nullified. In the matters will be litigated.third quarter of 2018, the SAT issued new assessments and the Company filed administrative appeals with the SAT. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company received an audit assessment from the SAT for the KCSM 2013 Mexico tax return and filed an administrative appeal of the assessment in the second quarter of 2022.

On April 13, 2022, the SAT used an electronic tax mailbox to deliver an audit assessment on the 2014 KCSM tax returns, which as of September 30, 2022 was Ps.5.7 billion (approximately $280.0 million USD) of tax, interest, penalties and inflation (the “2014 Audit Assessment”). In 2014, KCSM filed an amparo lawsuit with the district court, objecting to the SAT’s electronic accounting requirements, including the SAT’s use of the electronic tax mailbox, and KCSM was granted a permanent injunction in 2015 preventing the SAT from delivering any notification of assessments using the electronic tax mailbox. The permanent injunction remained in effect through the date the SAT issued the 2014 Audit Assessment. The Company became aware of the 2014 Audit Assessment on June 30, 2022 and based on the permanent injunction on the electronic accounting requirements, the Company believed it had thirty business days from that date to file an appeal. On July 7, 2022, the Company filed an administrative appeal of the 2014 Audit Assessment with the SAT. During the third quarter of 2022, the SAT dismissed the administrative appeal of the 2014 Audit Assessment on the basis it wasn’t filed timely.The Company plans to challenge in Mexican court the SAT's use of the electronic mailbox and the dismissal of the administrative appeal of the 2014 Audit Assessment. The Company believes that it has strong legal arguments in its favor and it is more likely than not that the administrative appeal of the 2014 Audit Assessment was timely filed.

The 2014 Audit Assessment includes tax positions where KCSM has prior favorable court decisions or strong legal arguments in its favor. Management believes it is more likely than not it will prevail in any challenge of the 2014 Audit Assessment. Historically, the Company has not been required to pay to settle previous SAT audit assessments or has settled SAT audit assessments for an immaterial amount.

On July 1, 2022, the SAT froze KCSM’s Mexico bank accounts without any request for payment of the 2014 Audit Assessment or notification of the freeze. The Company filed an amparo lawsuit challenging the legality of the bank account freeze. The district court issued a permanent injunction requiring the SAT to remove the freeze subject to KCSM posting a performance bond or other collateral upon the SAT demonstrating a tax obligation exists. In August 2022, KCSM posted a performance bond in the amount of Ps.5.6 billion (approximately $278.0 million USD) and the bank account freeze was removed. The freeze and cost of obtaining the performance bond did not have a significant impact on KCSM’s cash flows or operations. The provision of the performance bond is not an agreement or concession with regard to the 2014 Audit Assessment and in no way impacts KCSM’s ability to further defend its tax position.

The Company believes that it has strong legal arguments in its favor and it is more likely than not that it will prevail in any challenge of the assessments.

U.S. Collective Bargaining. KCSR participates in industry-wide multi-employer bargaining as a member of the National Carriers’ Conference Committee (“NCCC”), as well as local bargaining for agreements that are limited to KCSR's property. Approximately 72% of KCSR employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. For the 2016 bargaining round, 5-year agreements were reached voluntarily or through the arbitration process during 2017 and 2018 covering all of the participating unions. The terms of these agreements remain in effect until new agreements are reached in the third quarter of 2017 relating2020 national bargaining round. In November 2019, KCSR and its unions commenced negotiations in connection with the 2020 collective bargaining round.
On July 15, 2022, President Biden signed an executive order creating a Presidential Emergency Board (“PEB”) to a previous uncertain tax position as a result of a lapseassist the railroads and its unions in ongoing national labor negotiations. The PEB reviewed the parties’ proposals, held hearings and issued non-binding settlement recommendations to the President. Under the terms of the statutePEB, the parties had until September 16, 2022 to reach a voluntary settlement based on those recommendations. On September 15, 2022, the NCCC and unions reached a tentative agreement resulting in the Company recognizing estimated retroactive union wages and bonuses of limitations.approximately $9.0 million in compensation and benefits on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company believes it is probable that the tax court will continue to annul the 2005 VAT assessment. Further, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the SAT will ultimately be precluded from issuingagreement. A strike or work stoppage could result in a new 2005 VAT audit assessment. In the unexpected event that the SAT is provided the opportunity to issue a new 2005 VAT audit assessment, the Company cannot predict if the SAT would issue a new assessment or the basis of any new assessment. Accordingly, the Company is not able to estimate any related potential exposure.
KCSM has not historically assessed VAT on international import transportation services provided to its customers based on a written ruling that KCSM obtained from the SAT in 2008 stating that such services were not subject to VAT (the “2008 Ruling”). Notwithstanding the 2008 Ruling, in December 2013, the SAT unofficially informed KCSM of an intended implementation of new criteria effective as of January 1, 2014, pursuant to which VAT would be assessed on all international import transportation services on the portionsignificant disruption of the services provided within Mexico. Additionally, in November 2013, the SAT filed an action to nullify the 2008 Ruling, potentially exposing the application of the new criteria to open tax years. In February 2014, KCSM filed an action opposing the SAT’s nullification action. In December 2016, KCSM was notified of a resolution issued by the Mexican tax court confirming the 2008 Ruling. The SAT has appealed this resolutionCompany’s operations and the matter is currently under review by the Mexican circuit court. The Company believes it is more likely than not that it will continue to prevail in this matter. Further,have significant financial impacts, such as of the date of this filing, the SAT has not implemented any new criteria regarding this assessment of VAT on international import transportation services. The Company believes it is probable that any unexpected nullification of the 2008 Rulinglower revenues and the implementation of any new VAT criteria would be applied on a prospective basis, in which case, due to the pass-through nature of VAT, KCSM would begin to assess its customers for VAT on international import transportation services, resulting in no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.higher operating costs.
Contractual Agreements. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various contractual agreements related to commercial arrangements and the use of other railroads’ or governmental entities’ infrastructure needed for the operations of the business. The Company is involved or may become involved in certain disputes involving transportation rates, product loss or damage, charges, and interpretations related to these agreements. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that, when resolved, these disputes will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
On July 14, 2022, KCSM reached an agreement with the Mexican Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (“SICT”) to fund a new investment in the Celaya-NBA Line Railway Bypass and related infrastructure in an amount not to exceed Ps.4.0 billion (approximately $200.0 million USD). In exchange for the investment, the SICT agreed to amend KCSM’s Concession Title effective July 14, 2022, to extend the exclusivity rights granted to KCSM for an additional period of 10 years. Under this amendment, KCSM’s exclusivity will now expire in 2037.
Credit Risk. The Company continually monitors risks related to economic changes and certain customer receivables concentrations. Significant changes in customer concentration or payment terms, deterioration of customer creditworthiness, bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of a customer, or further weakening in economic trends could have a significant impact on the collectability of the Company’s receivables and its operating results. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate and result in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The Company has recorded provisions for uncollectabilitycredit losses based on its best estimate at September 30, 2017.2022.
Panama Canal Railway Company (“PCRC”) Guarantees and Indemnities. At September 30, 2017,2022, the Company had issued and outstanding $5.5$5.7 million under a standby letter of credit to fulfill its obligation to fund fifty percent of the debt service reserve and liquidity reserve established by PCRC in connection with the issuance of the 7.0% Senior Secured Notes due November 1, 2026 (the “PCRC Notes”). Additionally, KCS has pledged its shares of PCRC as security for the PCRC Notes.
Mexican Antitrust Review. Pursuant to the Mexican Antitrust Law and the Regulatory Railroad Service Law, on September 12, 2016, the Mexican government’s antitrust commission (Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica or “COFECE”), announced that it would review competitive conditions in the Mexican railroad industry, with respect to the existence of effective competition in the provision of interconnection services, trackage rights, switching rights and interline services used to render public freight transport in

Mexico. The COFECE review includes the entire freight rail transportation market in Mexico and is not targeted to any single rail carrier.
On March 15, 2017, the COFECE published an executive summary of its preliminary report in the Diario Oficial de la Federación. The COFECE’s preliminary report concluded that there was a lack of effective competition in the market for trackage rights (“Relevant Market”) throughout the entire networks of KCSM, Ferrocarril Mexicano, S.A. de C.V., Ferrosur, S.A. de C.V., and Ferrocarril y Terminal del Valle de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.
The Company disagrees with the COFECE’s reasoning and preliminary conclusions, and responded on April 20, 2017 with evidence and arguments to support the Company’s position, as provided in the Mexican antitrust law. The Company’s response argues that the investigation which supports the conclusions in the preliminary report was conducted contrary to the rule of law, the rules of procedure, and relied upon faulty economic analysis.
On April 27, 2017, the COFECE initiated the incidental procedure to analyze the recusal of two of its commissioners from ongoing proceedings (“Motion to Recuse”). On June 6, 2017, KCSM presented arguments in connection with the Motion to Recuse. On July 7, 2017, KCSM was served with rulings dated June 22, 2017 and June 2, 2017, regarding the Motion to Recuse. Consequently, the two commissioners excluded themselves from further participation in the investigation.
The COFECE has an additional term of up to 110 business days after the decision of the Motion to Recuse to issue a final report in connection with effective competition conditions in the Relevant Market. It is expected a final ruling will be issued around January 2018. It is too early to determine what, if any, impact this review may have on Mexican rail operations in the future. If the COFECE’s final report determines there is a lack of effective competition, the COFECE could request the new Mexican Agencia Reguladora del Transporte Ferroviario (“Regulatory Agency of Rail Transportation” or “ARTF”), which has primary regulatory jurisdiction over the Company’s Mexican operations, to conduct proceedings to determine whether to establish new limited mandatory trackage rights and/or rate regulation under the Amendments to the Mexican Regulatory Railroad Service Law.
U.S. Surface Transportation Board. On July 27, 2016, the Surface Transportation Board issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in Ex Parte 711 (Sub-No.1) Reciprocal Switching, proposing rules related to reciprocal switching. Initial comments on the proposed rule were due by October 26, 2016, and replies to the initial comments were due by January 13, 2017. On December 27, 2016, the agency suspended the procedural deadline following submission of reply comments, pending anticipated changes in the agency’s membership. Until the rule has been finalized, KCS cannot determine what effect, if any, the rule will have on its business.

Overview
The Company is engaged primarily in the freight rail transportation business, operating a single coordinated rail network under one reportable business segment. The primary operating subsidiaries of the Company consist of the following: The Kansas City Southern Railway Company (“KCSR”), Kansas City Southern de México, S.A. de C.V. (“KCSM”), Meridian Speedway, LLC (“MSLLC”), and The Texas Mexican Railway Company (“TexMex”). The Company generates revenues and cash flows by providing customers with freight delivery services both within its regions and throughout North America through connections with other Class I rail carriers. KCS’s customers conduct business in a number of different industries, including chemical and petroleum, products, industrial and consumer products, agriculture and mineral products,minerals, energy, products, automotive, products and intermodal transportation. Appropriate eliminations and reclassifications have been recorded in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Merger Agreement
On September 15, 2021, KCS and CP entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) and on December 14, 2021, CP acquired the outstanding common and preferred stock of KCS. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of KCS that was outstanding immediately prior to the merger was converted into the right to receive (1) 2.884 common shares of CP and (2) $90 in cash (together, the “Merger Consideration”), and each share of preferred stock, par value $25 per share, that was outstanding immediately prior to the merger was converted into the right to receive $37.50 in cash. The Merger Consideration value received by KCS stockholders was $301.20 per KCS common share.
The merger transaction was completed through a series of mergers as outlined in the Merger Agreement. These mergers ultimately resulted in KCS being merged with and into Cygnus Merger Sub 1 Corporation (“Surviving Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CP, with Surviving Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Surviving Merger Sub was renamed “Kansas City Southern” and as successor company of KCS, continued to own the assets of KCS. Immediately following the consummation of the mergers, CP caused the contribution, directly and indirectly, of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Surviving Merger Sub, as successor to KCS, to be deposited into an independent, irrevocable voting trust (the “Voting Trust”) under a voting trust agreement (the “Voting Trust Agreement”) approved by the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (“STB”), pending receipt of the final and non-appealable approval or exemption by the STB pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 11323 et seq., of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (“STB Final Approval”). The Voting Trust prevents CP, or any affiliate of CP, from controlling or having the power to control KCS prior to STB Final Approval. Following receipt of STB Final Approval, the Voting Trust will be terminated and CP will acquire control over KCS’s railroad operations. STB Final Approval is expected to be granted in the first quarter of 2023, subject to the regulatory review process.
On December 14, 2021, the merger of KCS and Surviving Merger Sub was accounted for as a recapitalization of KCS’s equity. Upon STB Final Approval, the transaction will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, KCS paid a cash dividend in the first and third quarters of 2022 of $265.0 million and $200.0 million, respectively, to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CP. On October 26, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of up to $225.0 million, to be paid to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CP on October 31, 2022. Periodic cash distributions may be made to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CP based upon cash generated, the timing of capital expenditures and working capital needs of the Company.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, KCS reported $11.5 million and $36.8 million, respectively, of merger-related costs, which primarily related to incentive compensation costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized merger-related costs of $36.5 million and $776.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the merger costs primarily related to compensation and benefits costs and legal fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, merger costs included the fee associated with the termination of the CN merger agreement by KCS of $700.0 million, in addition to compensation and benefits costs and bankers’ and legal fees. These costs were recognized in merger costs, net within the consolidated statements of operations.
Ukraine Crisis
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022 has led to disruption, instability, and volatility in global markets and industries. The U.S. government and other foreign governments have imposed severe economic sanctions and export controls against Russia, certain regions of Ukraine and particular entities and individuals, removed Russia from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) system, and may impose additional sanctions and controls. The full impact of these sanctions and controls, as well as responses to them by Russia has and could in the future result in, among other things, severe or complete restrictions on exports to and other commerce and business dealings involving Russia, certain regions of Ukraine, and/or particular entities and individuals. In addition, this ongoing invasion has caused energy prices to rise, leading to increased inflationary impacts. To date, the Company has not experienced a material impact to operations or the consolidated financial statements as a result of the invasion of Ukraine; however, KCS will continue to monitor for events that could materially impact the Company.

Inflation
U.S. consumer price inflation rose at its fastest pace in over 40 years and Mexico inflation reached levels not seen for 20 years. Consumer price annual inflation rates as of September 30, 2022 were 8.2% and 8.7% in the U.S. and Mexico, respectively. KCS continues to closely monitor the impact of rapidly increasing inflation on the Company’s financial results and procurement supply chain. As of September 30, 2022, higher inflation has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial results. Additionally, supply chain disruptions have not materially impacted the Company’s ability to procure essential materials and services on a timely basis.

Inflation is expected to remain elevated for the near future. Inflationary factors, such as increases in interest rates, overhead costs and transportation costs may adversely affect the Company’s financial results. Although the Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on KCS’s financial results to date, the Company may experience some effect in the near future due to supply chain constraints, consequences associated with COVID-19, and the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia, employee availability and wage increases.

Third Quarter AnalysisHighlights
RevenuesFor the three months ended September 30, 2022, revenues increased 9%19% compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to a 10% increase in carload/unit volumes and an 8% increase in revenue per carload/unit. Volumes increased due to partial recovery of the global microchip shortage, strong demand, new business, and new steel plants that opened on the KCSM network in 2021. These increases were partially offset by decreased volumes in chemicals and petroleum refined fuel products due to regulatory impacts. Revenue per carload/unit increased due to higher fuel surcharge, positive pricing impacts, and longer average length of haul, partially offset by mix and unfavorable foreign currency impacts.
Operating expenses increased 13% during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to higher diesel fuel prices, tentative agreements with U.S. unions resulting in incremental estimated retroactive wage and bonus expense, and wage and benefit inflation, partially offset by decreased merger costs. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues was 63.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2017,2022, compared to 66.1% for the same period in 2021.

Operating Metrics
The Company has established the following key metrics to measure precision scheduled railroading (“PSR”) progress and performance:
Three Months EndedImprovement/ (Deterioration)Nine Months EndedImprovement/ (Deterioration)
September 30,September 30,
2022202120222021
Gross velocity (mph) (i)14.115.3(8)%14.413.47%
Terminal dwell (hours) (ii)23.321.5(8)%21.724.913%
Train length (feet) (iii)6,5106,481—6,4656,690(3)%
Fuel efficiency (gallons per 1,000 GTM's) (iv)1.261.22(3)%1.251.24(1)%
(i) 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).
(ii) 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.
(iii) 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.
(iv) 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.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the decrease in velocity and increase in dwell, as compared to the same period in 2016,2021, were due to congestion and resource pressure in northern Mexico. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the improvement in velocity and dwell, as compared to the same period in 2021, were due to efforts to improve network fluidity and customer service, along with other operating initiatives, investments in crew resources and new capacity projects.

The Company reported quarterly earnings of $1.23 per diluted share on consolidated net income of $129.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to earnings of $1.12 per diluted share on consolidated net income of $120.6 million for the same period in 2016, due to increased net income and the accelerated share repurchase program that was implemented during the third quarter of 2017, which reduced the weighted-average shares outstanding.
In late August 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the Texas coast and caused flood damage to the Company’s track infrastructure and significantly disrupted the Company’s rail service. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of Hurricane Harvey on the business and intends to file a claim under its insurance program in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company estimates the impact of lost profits negatively affected operating expenses as a percentage of revenues by 1.4% to 1.6% and earnings per diluted share by $0.12 to $0.14.

KCS’s fuel surcharges are a mechanism to adjust revenue based upon changes in fuel prices above fuel price thresholds set in KCS’s tariffs or contracts. Fuel surcharge revenue is calculated using a fuel price from a prior time period that can be up to 60 days earlier. In a period of volatile fuel prices or changing customer business mix, changes in fuel expense and fuel surcharge revenue may differ.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, fuel surcharge revenue increased $18.4$72.6 million and $44.5$168.2 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, due to separating the fuel surcharge for certain customers from the line haul rate. Additionally, the increase is2021, primarily due to higher fuel prices and the impact of fuel prices increasing above the fuel price thresholds for certain of KCS’s tariffs and contracts.prices.

(i)The Company’s Mexican subsidiaries have net U.S. dollar-denominated monetary liabilities which, for Mexican income tax purposes, are subject to periodic revaluation based on changes in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S dollar. This revaluation creates fluctuations in the Company’s Mexican income tax expense in the consolidated income statements and the amount of income taxes paid in Mexico. The Company also has net monetary assets denominated in Mexican pesos, that are subject to periodic re-measurement and settlement that creates fluctuations in foreign currency gains and losses in the consolidated income statements. The Company hedges its net exposure to variations in earnings by entering into foreign currency forward contracts. The foreign currency forward contracts involve the Company’s agreement to buy or sell pesos at an agreed-upon exchange rate on a future date. Refer to Note 6, Derivative Instruments for more information.

Mexico Regulatory and Legal Updates
Hydrocarbons Law. On May 5, 2021, new legislation pertaining to the transport and handling of hydrocarbons in Mexico became effective. This legislation addresses a wide array of issues related to the storage, transportation and handling of petroleum products, as well as the illegal import of hydrocarbons. The legislation is being challenged in the court system by a number of stakeholders and is currently subject to a court-ordered injunction, resulting in a suspension of the implementation and enforcement of this new law. To date, this law has not had a material effect on the Company or its operations. However, the Company is continuing to monitor this law and is evaluating the effect on the Company and its business operations.
Inspections Related to Imports and Terminals. During 2021, the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation (“SICT”) and other relevant Mexican authorities increased inspections of imports and enforcement of various regulations and permit requirements related to terminal operations, with specific focus on imports of refined products and refined fuel transloading terminals and freight terminals, in order to prevent the illegal importation of refined fuel products. These inspections resulted in delays related to the import of shipments into Mexico as well as the shutdown of several refined fuel terminals in the second half of 2021. The SICT has instructed KCSM to provide railway service only to those terminals that have the applicable permits. If KCSM were to fail to comply with the SICT requirements, the Company could be subject to fines and potential revocation of the Concession. As a result, KCS’s freight revenue from refined products decreased in the second half of 2021 and continued to decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. See further discussion in the Revenues section.
Value-Added Tax Law. KCSM is not required to charge its customers value added tax (“VAT”) on international import or export transportation services, which prior to 2022 resulted in KCSM paying more VAT on its expenses than it collected from customers. These excess VAT payments are refundable by the Mexican government. Prior to 2019, Mexican companies could offset their monthly refundable VAT balance with other tax obligations. In January 2019, Mexico tax reform eliminated the ability to offset other tax obligations with refundable VAT. Over 2019 through 2021, KCSM generated a refundable VAT balance and filed refund claims with the Servicio de Administración Tributaria (the “SAT”), which have not been refunded. 
In November 2021, changes to the VAT law were announced and became effective beginning January 1, 2022. These changes reduced the recoverability of VAT paid by KCSM on its expenditures that support international import transportation service revenues that are not subject to a VAT charge. VAT that is unrecoverable from the Mexican government results in incremental VAT expense for KCSM. Beginning in 2022, KCSM changed certain service offerings to either require VAT to be charged to customers on revenue, or impose a rate increase to offset the incremental VAT expense. These measures implemented by KCSM increased the VAT to be collected from customers and payable to the Mexican government.

(i)Mexican income taxes are paid in Mexican pesos, and as a result, the effective income tax rate reflects fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar measured by the forward exchange rate. The foreign exchange impact on income taxes includes the gain or loss from the revaluation of net U.S. dollar-denominated monetary liabilities into Mexican pesos which is included in Mexican taxable income under Mexican tax law. As a result, a strengthening of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar for the reporting period will generally increase the Mexican cash tax obligation and the effective income tax rate, and a weakening of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar for the reporting period will generally decrease the Mexican cash tax obligation and the effective tax rate. To hedge its exposure to this cash tax risk, the Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, which are measured at fair value each period and any change in fair value is recognized in foreign exchange gain (loss) within the consolidated statements of income as described above. Refer to Note 8 Derivative Instruments for more information.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the KCSM refundable VAT balance was $98.6 million and $152.2 million, respectively. KCSM has prior favorable Mexican court decisions and a legal opinion supporting its right under Mexican law to recover the refundable VAT balance from the Mexican government and believes the VAT to be fully recoverable. KCSM will recover the refundable VAT balance as VAT billed to customers exceeds creditable VAT charged by vendors. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $81.0 million and $78.0 million, respectively, of the refundable VAT balance was classified as a short-term asset.
Carta Porte. In the second quarter of 2021, KCSM was notified by the SAT that shipping companies (cargo airlines, trucks, maritime, railroads, and other similar companies) must include additional bill of lading information (referred to in Mexico as “Carta Porte”) with the invoice for all merchandise shipped in Mexico, including cross-border, international and Mexico domestic shipments. The Carta Porte requirements and deadline were modified several times throughout 2021. The effective date of January 1, 2022 included a three month grace period during which penalties and fines for inaccurate information would not be imposed. In the first quarter of 2022, the grace period was extended to September 30, 2022 and in the third quarter of 2022, the grace period was further extended to December 31, 2022. KCSM adapted its systems to comply with the Carta Porte requirements, which delayed KCSM’s invoicing and cash collections by approximately 60 days in the second and third quarters of 2022.
Failure to comply with Carta Porte requirements subsequent to the grace period could result in penalties and fines imposed by the SAT, shipping delays causing network congestion and delayed invoicing and cash collections. In addition, in the event of repeated noncompliance with Carta Porte requirements, the SAT has the power to shut down operations of a company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The Company focuses its cash and capital resources on investing in the business, shareholder returns and optimizing its capital structure.
The Company believes, based on current expectations, that cash and other liquid assets, operating cash flows, access to debt and equity capital markets, and other available financing resources will be sufficient to fund anticipated operating expenses, capital expenditures, debt service costs, dividends, share repurchases, and other commitments infor the foreseeable future.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company invested $361.1 million in capital expenditures. See the Capital Expenditures section for further details.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, KCS paid a cash dividend in the first and third quarters of 2022 of $265.0 million and $200.0 million, respectively, to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CP. On October 26, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of up to $225.0 million, to be paid to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CP on October 31, 2022. KCS plans to make further periodic cash distributions based upon cash generated, the timing of capital expenditures, and working capital needs of the Company.
The Company’s current financing instruments contain restrictive covenants whichthat limit or preclude certain actions; however, the covenants are structured such that the Company expects to have sufficient flexibility to conduct its operations. The Company washas been, and expects to continue to be, in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of September 30, 2017.
Though KCS’s cash flows from operations are expected to be sufficient to fund operations, capital expenditures, debt service and dividends, the Company may, from time to time, incur debt to refinance existing indebtedness, purchase equipment under operating leases, repurchase shares or fund equipment additions or new investments.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company invested $419.3 million in capital expenditures. See Capital Expenditures section for further details.
During the first half of 2017, KCS concluded its $500.0 million share repurchase program, announced in May 2015 (the “2015 program”). In August 2017, the Company announced a new share repurchase program of up to $800.0 million, which expires on June 30, 2020 (the “2017 program”). Included within the 2017 program was authorization for an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) program limited to $200.0 million. The Company entered into an ASR program of $200.0 million in the third quarter of 2017. Following settlement of the ASR program in October 2017, the Company’s 2017 repurchases of common stock, which includes shares repurchased through the 2015 Program and the 2017 Program, totaled 3,241,978 shares of common stock at an average price of $98.83 per share and a total cost of $320.4 million. Refer to Note 10 - Equity for additional detail on the Company’s share repurchase activity.

On September 30, 2017,KCS believes it has a strong liquidity position to continue business operations and service its debt obligations. The Company has total available liquidity (theof $763.8 million as of September 30, 2022, consisting of cash balance pluson hand and a revolving credit facility, availability) was $532.4 million, compared to availabilityavailable liquidity at December 31, 20162021 of $789.2$939.3 million. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in cash on hand as a result of the Company’s ASR program as well as an increase in commercial paper to fund share repurchases in the first half of 2017.
As of September 30, 2017,2022, the total cash and cash equivalents held outside of the U.S. in foreign subsidiaries was $28.4 million.$89.9 million, after repatriating $108.3 million during 2022. The Company expects that this cash will be available to fund operations without incurring significant additional income taxes.
KCS’s operating resultsOn January 1, 2022, KCSM complied with Carta Porte requirements, providing customers with additional bill of lading information with the invoice for all merchandise shipped in Mexico. KCSM adapted its systems to comply with the Carta Porte requirements, which delayed KCSM’s invoicing and financing alternatives cancash collections by approximately 60 days in the second and third quarters of 2022, resulting in the accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022 to be unexpectedly impacted by various factors, some of which are outside of its control.

Excluded from current liabilities in the table above are $207.7 million and $267.5 million of current intercompany payables due to the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries from KCS and the Guarantor Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the Senior Notes or the indentures, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans, distributions or other payments. Any right that KCS or the Guarantor Subsidiaries have to receive any assets of any of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries upon the liquidation or reorganization of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, and the consequent rights of holders of Senior Notes to realize proceeds from the sale of any of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary’s assets, would be effectively subordinated to
31
Table of Contents

the claims of such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary’s creditors, including trade creditors and holders of preferred equity interests, if any, of such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary. Accordingly, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debts, holders of preferred equity interests, if any, and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to KCS or any Guarantor Subsidiary.
If a Guarantor Subsidiary were to become a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or encounter other financial difficulty, under federal or state fraudulent transfer or conveyance law, a court may avoid, subordinate or otherwise decline to enforce its guarantee of the Senior Notes. A court might do so if it is found that when such Guarantor Subsidiary entered into its guarantee of the Senior Notes, or in some states when payments became due under the Senior Notes, such Guarantor Subsidiary received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration and either:
• was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;
• was left with internally generated cash flows and/unreasonably small or short-termotherwise inadequate capital to conduct its business; or
• believed or reasonably should have believed that it would incur debts beyond its ability to pay.
The court might also avoid the guarantee of the Senior Notes without regard to the above factors, if the court found that a Guarantor Subsidiary entered into its guarantee with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors.
A court would likely find that a Guarantor Subsidiary did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its guarantee of the Senior Notes, if such Guarantor Subsidiary did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the funding made available by the issuance of the Senior Notes. If a court were to avoid a guarantee of the Senior Notes provided by a Guarantor Subsidiary, holders of the Senior Notes would no longer have any claim against such Guarantor Subsidiary. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer or conveyance has occurred, such that the Company cannot predict what standards a court would use to determine whether or not a Guarantor Subsidiary was solvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the standard that a court uses, that the guarantee of a Guarantor Subsidiary would not be subordinated to such Guarantor Subsidiary’s other debt. As noted above, each guarantee provided by a Guarantor Subsidiary includes a provision intended to limit the Guarantor Subsidiary’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. This provision may not be effective to protect those guarantees from being avoided under fraudulent transfer or conveyance law, or it may reduce that Guarantor Subsidiary’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes its guarantee worthless, and the Company cannot predict whether a court will ultimately find it to be effective.

On the basis of historical financial information, operating history and other factors, the Company believes that each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, after giving effect to the issuance of its guarantee of the Senior Notes when such guarantee was issued, was not insolvent, did not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it engaged and did not and has not incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. The Company cannot predict, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with the Company’s conclusions in this regard.

Other Matters
Collective Bargaining
KCSR participates in industry-wide multi-employer bargaining as a member of the National Carriers’ Conference Committee (“NCCC”), as well as local bargaining for agreements that are limited to KCSR's property. Approximately 75%72% of KCSR employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Long-term settlementFor the 2016 bargaining round, 5-year agreements were reached voluntarily or through the arbitration process during 2017 and ratified during 2011 and the first half of 20122018 covering all of the participating unions.

On October 5, 2017,July 15, 2022, President Biden signed an executive order creating a Presidential Emergency Board (“PEB”) to assist the railroads and its unions in ongoing national labor negotiations. The PEB reviewed the parties’ proposals, held hearings, and issued non-binding settlement recommendations to the President.

Mexican Antitrust Review. Pursuant to the Mexican Antitrust Law and the Regulatory Railroad Service Law, on September 12, 2016, the Mexican government’s antitrust commission (Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica or “COFECE”), announced that it would review competitive conditions in the Mexican railroad industry, with respect to the existence of effective competition in the provision of interconnection services, trackage rights, switching rights and interline services used to render public freight transport in Mexico. The COFECE review includes the entire freight rail transportation market in Mexico and is not targeted to any single rail carrier.
On March 15, 2017, the COFECE published an executive summary of its preliminary report in the Diario Oficial de la Federación. The COFECE’s preliminary report concluded that there was a lack of effective competition in the market for trackage rights (“Relevant Market”) throughout the entire networks of Kansas City Southern de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“KCSM”), Ferrocarril Mexicano, S.A. de C.V., Ferrosur, S.A. de C.V., and Ferrocarril y Terminal del Valle de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.
The Company disagrees with the COFECE’s reasoning and preliminary conclusions, and responded on April 20, 2017 with its evidence and arguments to support its position, as provided in the Mexican antitrust law.
On April 27, 2017, the COFECE initiated the incidental procedure to analyze the recusal of two of its commissioners from ongoing proceedings (“Motion to Recuse”). On June 6, 2017, KCSM presented arguments in connection with the Motion to Recuse. On July 7, 2017, KCSM was served with rulings dated June 22, 2017 and June 2, 2017, regarding the Motion to Recuse. Consequently, the two commissioners excluded themselves from further participation in the investigation.
The COFECE has an additional term of up to 110 business days after the decision of the Motion to Recuse to issue a final report in connection with effective competition conditions in the Relevant Market. It is expected a final ruling will be issued around January 2018. It is too early to determine what, if any, impact this review may have on Mexican rail operations in the future. If the COFECE’s final report determines there is a lack of effective competition, the COFECE could request the new Mexican Agencia Reguladora del Transporte Ferroviario (“Regulatory Agency of Rail Transportation” or “ARTF”), which has primary regulatory jurisdiction over the Company’s Mexican operations, to conduct proceedings to determine whether to establish new limited mandatory trackage rights and/or rate regulation under the Amendments to the Mexican Regulatory Railroad Service Law.
