Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) has reported net income of $765m in the second quarter of 2022, compared with $1.25bn during the same period last year.

Adjusted operating income fell 3% to $887m, due to inflation and lower freight volumes as measured by RTMs, among others.

CP president and CEO Keith Creel said: “After a challenging first quarter of the year, I’m proud of the resiliency and discipline the CP team demonstrated to deliver these results.

“They continue to display the grit and tenacity it takes to run a world-class North American railroad and deliver for our customers.

“The strong demand environment for North American goods and commodities, coupled with our own unique growth initiatives and the promising upcoming Canadian grain crop, gives me confidence that we will continue to see momentum build into the back half of 2022 and beyond.”
