CP Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited

Operating Income sets record at $1.13 billion CALGARY, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Canadian Pacific (TSX/NYSE: CP) announced its fourth-quarter and full year 2006 results today. For the full year, net income for 2006 was $796 million, which included a tax benefit of $176 million as a result of a decrease in Canadian federal and provincial income tax rates. This was an increase in net income of 47 per cent over 2005. Diluted earnings per share was $5.02 for the full year 2006, an increase of 48 per cent over 2005. SUMMARY OF FULL-YEAR 2006 COMPARED WITH FULL-YEAR 2005 Excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items: - Diluted earnings per share was $3.95, an increase of 20 per cent. - Operating income was $ 1.129 billion, a full year record, and an increase of 13 per cent. - Operating ratio was 75.4 per cent, which was an improvement of 180 basis points. - Revenue grew 4 per cent to $4.583 billion, with operating expenses increasing by only 2 per cent. "I'm pleased with the financial results," said Fred Green, President and CEO, "We focused on cost containment and improving the fluidity of our operations, and, with our diversified customer portfolio, we delivered strong results while overcoming a drop in coal revenues of $137 million. As well, I am particularly delighted with our team's improvement on the safety front. We reduced personal injuries by 17 per cent and train accidents by 39 per cent over 2005, again making CP one of the safest railroads in North America." SUMMARY OF 4TH QUARTER 2006 COMPARED WITH 4TH QUARTER 2005 Net income for the fourth-quarter was $146 million, an increase of 6 per cent. Excluding foreign exchange losses on long-term debt and other specified items: - Diluted earnings per share was $1.15, an increase of 7.5 per cent. - Operating ratio improved by 80 basis points to 73.1 per cent. - Income increased 6 per cent to $181 million. - Total revenue grew 2 per cent and operating expenses were up less than 1 per cent. "We are well positioned to continue to deliver on our commitments in 2007," said Mr. Green. "Our Integrated Operating Plan has significantly improved fluidity, allowing us to respond quickly and adjust our operations to changes in traffic volumes. Through our continued focus on execution excellence, we are improving the efficiency of our business, keeping CP on track to be the safest, most fluid railway in North America." Freight revenues in the fourth-quarter were $1.152 billion, with grain increasing 16.5 per cent over fourth-quarter 2005 and sulphur and fertilizers growing 19 per cent. Industrial and consumer products and intermodal showed modest growth. This was offset in part, primarily by a 16 per cent decrease in coal. Operating expenses, excluding other specified items, for the quarter were up less than 1 per cent. Increases due to inflation and volumes were largely offset by improved operating efficiencies and reductions in management staff. 2007 OUTLOOK "It is early in the year and there are many factors in play," said Mr. Green. "Rail fundamentals remain strong, although our Operating team has been tested with very tough winter operating conditions and there is softening in some sectors of the North American economy. At the same time, we are seeing fluctuating fuel prices and a weakening Canadian dollar. I am confident we will hit our stride in 2007 and CP's outlook for diluted earnings per share in 2007 remains in the range of $4.30 to $4.45, an increase of 9 to 13 per cent respectively, over the 2006 diluted EPS which was $3.95, (excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items)." CP expects to grow revenue in the range of 4 per cent to 6 per cent in 2007. Capital investment is anticipated to be between $885 million and $895 million and free cash, after dividends, is now expected to exceed $250 million in 2007. This outlook assumes oil prices averaging US$58 per barrel and an average currency exchange rate of $1.15 per U.S. dollar (US$0.87). RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVE FIGURES FOR 2005 Prior period comparative figures have been restated for retroactively applied accounting changes. The CICA issued Emerging Issues Committee Abstract "Stock-Based Compensation for Employees Eligible to Retire Before the Vesting Date" ("EIC 162") which became effective for the year ended December 31, 2006 and has been applied retroactively with restatement of prior periods. The compensation cost attributable to stock-based awards is recognized over the period from the grant date to the date the employees become eligible to retire when this is shorter than the vesting period. The adoption of EIC 162 resulted in a decrease in reported "Compensation and benefits" expense for the three months ended December 31, 2006 by $0.6 million (three months ended December 31, 2005 - $2.0 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2006 by $1.2 million (year ended December 31, 2005 - $0.2 million). Note 2 to the financial statements describes adoption of EIC 162. FOREIGN EXCHANGE GAINS AND LOSSES ON LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER SPECIFIED ITEMS Results for full-year 2006 included a foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million ($7 million after tax) on long-term debt, compared with a gain of $45 million ($22 million after tax) on long-term debt in 2005. Results for the fourth quarter of 2006 included a foreign exchange loss of $45 million ($35 million after tax), compared with a loss of $1 million ($5 million after tax) in the same period of 2005. Other specified items in 2006 were related to a future income tax benefit of $176 million as a result of a decrease in Canadian federal and provincial income tax rates that occurred in the second quarter of 2006. Other specified items in 2005 were related to a special charge and a partial reduction of a special charge originally taken in 2004, which had a net impact of $10 million ($8 million after tax) in 2005. CP began in 2005 a program to reduce management and administrative staff by approximately 400. These reductions, which were completed during the third quarter of 2006, resulted in a special charge of $44 million ($28 million after tax) in the fourth quarter of 2005. This special charge was partially offset by a reduction, booked in the third quarter of 2005, of $34 million ($21 million after tax) to a special charge of $91 million ($55 million after tax) taken in 2004 for environmental remediation of a property in the United States. The reduction reflected a settlement of litigation related to remediation of the environmental contamination. Presentation of non-GAAP earnings CP presents non-GAAP earnings in this news release to provide a basis for evaluating underlying earnings and liquidity trends in its business that can be compared with prior periods' results of operations. These non-GAAP earnings exclude foreign currency translation effects on long-term debt, which can be volatile and short term, and other specified items, which are not among CP's normal ongoing revenues and operating expenses. The impact of volatile short-term rate fluctuations on foreign-denominated debt is only realized when long-term debt matures or is settled. A reconciliation of income, excluding foreign exchange gains and losses on long-term debt and other specified items, to net income as presented in the financial statements is detailed in the attached Summary of Rail Data. Free cash after dividends is calculated as cash provided by operating activities, less cash used in investing activities and dividends. Earnings that exclude foreign exchange currency translation effect on long-term debt and other specified items, and free cash after dividends, as described in this news release, have no standardized meanings and are not defined by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Other specified items are material transactions that may include, but are not limited to, restructuring and asset impairment charges, gains and losses on non-routine sales of assets, unusual income tax adjustments, and other items that do not typify normal business activities. In 2006, the only other specified item was an income tax benefit of $176 million, or $1.09 per share, as a result of tax rate reductions.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006 (unaudited) 1 Basis of presentation These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with the policies used in preparing Canadian Pacific Railway Limited's ("CPR", "the Company" or "Canadian Pacific Railway") 2005 annual consolidated financial statements except for new accounting policies adopted in 2006 (see Note 2). They do not include all disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements. CPR's operations can be affected by seasonal fluctuations such as changes in customer demand and weather-related issues. This seasonality could impact quarter-over-quarter comparisons. 2 New accounting policies Stock-Based Compensation for Employees Eligible to Retire Before the -------------------------------------------------------------------- Vesting Date ------------ The CICA issued Emerging Issues Committee Abstract "Stock-Based Compensation for Employees Eligible to Retire Before the Vesting Date" ("EIC 162") which became effective for the year ended December 31, 2006 and has been applied retroactively with restatement of prior periods. Under EIC 162, compensation cost attributable to stock-based awards is recognized over the period from the grant date to the date employees become eligible to retire when this is shorter than the vesting period. The adoption of EIC 162 resulted in a $5.2 million reduction to opening retained earnings at January 1, 2005, and decreased reported "Compensation and benefits" expense for the three months ended December 31, 2006 by $0.6 million (three months ended December 31, 2005 - $2.0 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2006 by $1.2 million (year ended December 31, 2005 - $0.1 million). Non-monetary transactions ------------------------- In June 2005, the CICA issued Accounting Standard Section 3831 "Non-Monetary Transactions" which became effective on January 1, 2006. It has been applied prospectively to non-monetary transactions occurring on or after that date. The standard requires that assets or liabilities exchanged or transferred in a non-monetary transaction that has commercial substance be valued at fair value with any gain or loss recorded in income. Commercial substance exists when, as a result of the transaction, there is a significant change to future cash flows of the item transferred or the company as a whole. Transactions that lack commercial substance or for which the fair value of the exchanged assets cannot be reliably measured will continue to be accounted for at carrying value. Previously, non-monetary transactions that did not constitute the culmination of the earnings process were recorded at carrying value. The impact to CPR on adoption of this new standard was not significant. 3 Future accounting changes Financial instruments, hedging and comprehensive income ------------------------------------------------------- The CICA issued the following accounting standards effective for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006: Accounting Standard Section 3855 "Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement", Accounting Standard Section 3861 "Financial Instruments, Presentation and Disclosure", Accounting Standard Section 3865 "Hedging" and Accounting Standard Section 1530 "Comprehensive Income". These sections require certain financial instruments and hedge positions to be recorded at their fair value. They also introduce the concept of comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income. Adoption of these standards will be effective from January 1, 2007 on a prospective basis without retroactive restatement of prior periods, except for the reclassification of equity balances to reflect "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" which will include foreign currency translation adjustments. Under the new standard, financial instruments designated as "held-for-trading" and "available-for-sale" will be carried at their fair value while financial instruments such as "loans and receivables", "financial liabilities" and those classified as "held-to-maturity" will be carried at their amortized cost. All derivatives will be carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value, including derivatives designated as hedges. The effective portion of unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges will be carried in "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income", a component of "Shareholders' Equity" (on the Consolidated Balance Sheet), with any ineffective portions of gains and losses on hedges taken into income immediately. Accounting Changes ------------------ Effective from January 1, 2007, the CICA has amended Accounting Standard Section 1506 "Accounting Changes" to prescribe the criteria for changing accounting policies and related accounting treatment and disclosures of accounting changes. Changes in accounting policies will be permitted when required by a primary source of GAAP, for example when a new accounting section is first adopted, or when the change in accounting policy results in more reliable and relevant financial information being reflected in the financial statements. A change in accounting policy as a result of the initial application of a new accounting section should be applied in accordance with the transitional provisions of the accounting section being adopted. A voluntary change in accounting policy for which specific transitional provisions do not exist should be applied retrospectively with restatement of prior period financial statements. The adoption of this amended accounting standard will not impact the financial statements of the Company. 4 Reduction to environmental remediation During the three months ended September 30, 2005, a settlement was reached with a responsible party in relation to portions of past environmental contamination at a CPR-owned property in the U.S. As a result, CPR was able to reduce accrued liabilities related to the property, and recognized a total reduction of $33.9 million to a special charge for environmental remediation recorded in 2004. 5 Special charge for labour restructuring In the fourth quarter of 2005, CPR recorded a special charge of $44.2 million for a labour restructuring initiative. This initiative, mostly job reductions in management and administrative positions, was completed in 2006. 6 Change in accounting estimate During 2005, the Company prospectively recorded a $23.4-million adjustment to increase revenues in 2005 related to services provided in 2004. The adjustment reflected a change in estimate primarily as a result of a contract settlement with a customer. 7 Other charges For the three For the year months ended ended December 31 December 31 (in millions) 2006 2005 2006 2005 ------------------- ------------------- Amortization of discount on accruals recorded at present value $ 1.9 $ 3.0 $ 10.0 $ 15.4 Other exchange losses (gains) 2.0 1.1 6.5 (2.2) Loss on sale of accounts receivable 1.3 0.9 5.0 3.5 Gains on non-hedging derivative instruments (0.8) (0.1) (1.2) (6.6) Other 2.0 1.9 7.5 8.0 ------------------- ------------------- Total other charges $ 6.4 $ 6.8 $ 27.8 $ 18.1 ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- 8 Interest expense For the three For the year months ended ended December 31 December 31 (in millions) 2006 2005 2006 2005 ------------------- ------------------- Interest expense $ 51.4 $ 50.2 $ 200.5 $ 211.8 Interest income (1.6) (1.1) (6.0) (7.6) ------------------- ------------------- Total interest expense $ 49.8 $ 49.1 $ 194.5 $ 204.2 ------------------- ------------------- 9 Income tax expense In the three months ended June 30, 2006, federal and provincial legislation was introduced to reduce corporate income tax rates over a period of several years. As a result of these changes, the Company recorded a $176.0 million benefit in future tax liability and income tax expense in the three months ended June 30, 2006. Cash taxes paid for the three months ended December 31, 2006 were $24.3 million (three months ended December 31, 2005 - $0.9 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $50.9 million (year ended December 31, 2005 - $7.6 million). 10 Earnings per share At December 31, 2006, the number of shares outstanding was 155.5 million (December 31, 2005 - 158.2 million). Basic earnings per share have been calculated using net income for the period divided by the weighted average number of CPR shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share have been calculated using the treasury stock method, which gives effect to the dilutive value of outstanding options. The number of shares used in earnings per share calculations is reconciled as follows: For the three For the year months ended ended December 31 December 31 (in millions) 2006 2005 2006 2005 ------------------- ------------------- Weighted average shares outstanding 155.8 157.6 157.3 158.4 Dilutive effect of stock options 1.6 2.1 1.5 1.7 ------------------- ------------------- Weighted average diluted shares outstanding 157.4 159.7 158.8 160.1 ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- (in dollars) Basic earnings per share $ 0.93 $ 0.87(1) $ 5.06 $ 3.43(1) Diluted earnings per share $ 0.92 $ 0.86(1) $ 5.02 $ 3.39(1) ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- (1) Restated (see Note 2). For the three months ended December 31, 2006, 14,483 options (three months ended December 31, 2005 - 4,000 options) were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were not dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2006, 379,908 options (year ended December 31, 2005 - 1,000 options) were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were not dilutive. 11 Decrease in investments and other assets Other assets and deferred charges on the Consolidated Balance Sheet include, from time to time, assets held for sale which are purchased in anticipation of sale and leaseback arrangements with various financial institutions. For the three months ended December 31, 2006, assets of $4.6 million were acquired and $26.7 million were sold; and for the year ended December 31, 2006, assets of $137.1 million were acquired and $136.1 million were sold. No gains or losses were incurred in these sale and leaseback arrangements. These investing activities are reflected in the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows as part of "Decrease in investments and other assets". 12 Shareholders' equity An analysis of Common Share balances is as follows: For the three months ended December 31 (in millions) 2006 2005 Number Amount Number Amount ----------------------------------------- Share capital, October 1 155.9 $1,166.6 157.3 $1,116.3 Shares issued under stock option plans 0.5 15.1 0.9 25.2 Shares repurchased (0.9) (6.0) - - ----------------------------------------- Share capital, December 31 155.5 $1,175.7 158.2 $1,141.5 ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- For the year ended December 31 (in millions) 2006 2005 Number Amount Number Amount ----------------------------------------- Share capital, January 1 158.2 $1,141.5 158.8 $1,120.6 Shares issued under stock option plans 2.3 71.0 1.2 33.4 Shares repurchased (5.0) (36.8) (1.8) (12.5) ----------------------------------------- Share capital, December 31 155.5 $1,175.7 158.2 $1,141.5 ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- An analysis of contributed surplus balances is as follows: For the three months ended December 31 (in millions) 2006 2005 Restated (see Note 2) ---------------------- Contributed surplus, October 1 $ 51.9 $ 243.6 Stock-based compensation expense related to stock option plans 2.3 1.5 Shares repurchased (21.9) - ---------------------- Contributed surplus, December 31 $ 32.3 $ 245.1 ---------------------- ---------------------- For the year ended December 31 (in millions) 2006 2005 Restated (see Note 2) ---------------------- Contributed surplus, January 1 $ 245.1 $ 304.1 Stock-based compensation expense related to stock option plans 10.3 9.1 Shares repurchased (223.1) (68.1) ---------------------- Contributed surplus, December 31 $ 32.3 $ 245.1 ---------------------- ---------------------- The balance remaining in contributed surplus of $32.3 million relates to stock-based compensation recognized to date on unexercised options and will be attributed to share capital as options are exercised. In June 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Common Shares under the previous normal course issuer bid and filed a new normal course issuer bid to purchase, for cancellation, up to 3.9 million of its outstanding Common Shares. Under the new filing, share purchases may be made during the 12-month period beginning June 6, 2006, and ending June 5, 2007. The purchases are made at the market price on the day of purchase, with consideration allocated to share capital up to the average carrying amount of the shares, and any excess allocated to contributed surplus and retained earnings. When shares are repurchased, it takes three days before the transaction is settled and the shares are cancelled. The cost of shares purchased in a given month and settled in the following month is accrued in the month of purchase. During the three months ended December 31, 2006, 0.9 million shares were repurchased at an average price of $63.85 (three months ended December 31, 2005 - no shares were repurchased) and for the year ended December 31, 2006, 5.0 million shares were repurchased at an average price of $57.28 (year ended December 31, 2005 - 1.8 million shares were repurchased at an average price of $45.77). The table below summarizes the allocation of shares repurchased between share capital, contributed surplus and retained earnings. For the three For the year months ended ended December 31 December 31 (in millions) 2006 2005 2006 2005 ------------------- ------------------- Share capital $ 6.0 $ - $ 36.8 $ 12.5 Contributed surplus 21.9 - 223.1 68.1 Retained earnings 26.5 - 26.5 - ------------------- ------------------- $ 54.4 $ - $ 286.4 $ 80.6 ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- 13 Restructuring and environmental remediation At December 31, 2006, the provision for restructuring and environmental remediation was $309.0 million (December 31, 2005 - $398.8 million). The restructuring provision primarily includes labour liabilities for workforce restructuring plans. Payments are expected to continue in diminishing amounts until 2025. The environmental remediation liability includes the cost of a multi-year soil remediation program.

These reductions were partially offset by increases in the environmental remediation liability of $3.1 million and $10.5 million, respectively. In the three months and year ended December 31, 2005, CPR recorded net increases in the restructuring liability of $35.4 million and $33.5 million, respectively. These increases were mostly due to a new labour restructuring provision totalling $44.2 million (see Note 5), partially offset by experience gains on termination costs for previously accrued labour initiatives. In the fourth quarter of 2005, CPR also recorded an increase in the environmental remediation liability of $7.7 million. In the year ended December 31, 2005, the increase in the restructuring liability was partially offset by a reduction in the environmental liability (see Note 4). Amortization of Discount is charged to income in "Other Charges", "Compensation and Benefits" and "Purchased Services and Other". New accruals and adjustments to previous accruals are reflected in "Compensation and Benefits" and "Purchased Services and Other". 14 Stock-based compensation In 2006, under CPR's stock option plans, the Company issued 1,467,900 options to purchase Common Shares at the weighted average price of $57.80 per share, based on the closing price on the day prior to the grant date. In tandem with these options, 509,850 stock appreciation rights were issued at the weighted average exercise price of $57.80. Also, all 30,000 unvested Restricted Share Units which had been issued in 2005, were cancelled in 2006. Pursuant to the employee plan, options may be exercised upon vesting, which for most employees is between 24 months and 36 months after the grant date, and will expire after 10 years. Some options vest after 48 months, unless certain performance targets are achieved, in which case vesting is accelerated. These options expire five years after the grant date. The following is a summary of the Company's fixed stock option plans as of December 31: 2006 2005 -------------------------- ------------------------- Weighted Weighted average average Number of exercise Number of exercise options price options price -------------------------- ------------------------- Outstanding, January 1 7,971,917 $ 32.07 7,752,080 $ 29.32 New options granted 1,467,900 57.80 1,556,400 42.09 Exercised (2,330,664) 28.59 (1,157,752) 27.48 Forfeited/ cancelled (301,509) 39.07 (178,811) 29.80 ------------ ------------ Outstanding, December 31 6,807,644 $ 38.50 7,971,917 $ 32.07 -------------------------- ------------------------- -------------------------- ------------------------- Options exercisable at December 31 2,918,294 $ 29.64 3,162,807 $ 27.37 -------------------------- ------------------------- -------------------------- ------------------------- Compensation expense is recognized over the shorter of the vesting period or employee service period for stock options issued since January 1, 2003, based on their estimated fair values on the date of grants, as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Had CPR used the fair value method for options granted between January 1, 2002, and December 31, 2002, CPR's pro forma basis net income and earnings per share would have been as follows: For the three months For the year ended December 31 ended December 31 2006 2005 2006 2005 Restated Restated (see Note 2) (see Note 2) -------------------------- ------------------------- Net income (in millions) As reported $ 145.6 $ 137.1 $ 796.3 $ 543.0 Pro forma $ 145.5 $ 137.3 $ 796.1 $ 542.7 -------------------------- ------------------------- (in dollars) Basic earnings per share As reported $ 0.93 $ 0.87 $ 5.06 $ 3.43 Pro forma $ 0.93 $ 0.87 $ 5.06 $ 3.43 -------------------------- ------------------------- Diluted earnings per share As reported $ 0.92 $ 0.86 $ 5.02 $ 3.39 Pro forma $ 0.92 $ 0.86 $ 5.01 $ 3.39 -------------------------- ------------------------- Under the fair value method, the fair value of options at the grant date was $12.4 million for options issued during the year ended December 31, 2006 (year ended December 31, 2005 - $10.1 million). The weighted average fair value assumptions were approximately: For the year ended December 31 2006 2005 ---------------------- Expected option life (years) 4.50 4.50 Risk-free interest rate 4.07% 3.49% Expected stock price volatility 22% 24% Expected annual dividends per share $0.75 $0.53 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $12.99 $9.66 ---------------------- Total Return Swap The Company entered into a Total Return Swap ("TRS"), effective in May 2006, in order to reduce the volatility and total cost to the Company over time of two stock-based compensation programs, share appreciation rights ("SAR") and deferred share units ("DSU"). The value of the TRS derivative is linked to the market value of the Company's stock and is intended to mitigate the impact on expenses of share value movements on SARs and DSUs. "Compensation and Benefits" expense decreased by $10.8 million and increased by $1.2 million during the three months and year ended December 31, 2006, respectively, due to unrealized gains and losses for these swaps recognized in "Deferred liabilities". These gains and losses substantially offset the costs and benefits recognized in the SAR and DSU stock-based compensation programs due to fluctuations in share price during the period the TRS was in place. 15 Pensions and other benefits The total current charges for pension and other benefits for the Company's defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution pension plans and post-retirement benefits for the three months ended December 31, 2006, was $31.0 million (three months ended December 31, 2005 - $20.2 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $122.1 million (year ended December 31, 2005 - $82.6 million). 16 Significant customers During the year ended December 31, 2006, one customer comprised 11.5% of total revenue (year ended December 31, 2005 - 14.5%). At December 31, 2006, one customer represented 5.6% of total accounts receivable (December 31, 2005 - 8.0%). 17 Commitments and contingencies In the normal course of its operations, the Company becomes involved in various legal actions, including claims relating to injuries and damages to property. The Company maintains provisions it considers to be adequate for such actions. While the final outcome with respect to actions outstanding or pending at December 31, 2006, cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Capital commitments At December 31, 2006, CPR had multi-year capital commitments of $480.1 million, mainly for locomotive overhaul agreements, in the form of signed contracts. Payments for these commitments are due in 2007 through 2016. Operating lease commitments At December 31, 2006, minimum payments under operating leases were estimated at $634.2 million in aggregate, with annual payments in each of the next five years of: 2007 - $133.2 million; 2008 - $99.2 million; 2009 - $71.4 million; 2010 - $55.8 million; 2011 - $50.4 million. Guarantees The Company had residual value guarantees on operating lease commitments of $442.5 million at December 31, 2006. The maximum amount that could be payable under these and all of the Company's other guarantees cannot be reasonably estimated due to the nature of certain of the guarantees. The Company has accrued for all guarantees that it expects will require payment. At December 31, 2006, these accruals amounted to $6.2 million. All or a portion of amounts paid under certain guarantees could be recoverable from other parties or through insurance.
