Kansas City Southern
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Accounting Policies, Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of the management of KCS, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for interim periods. All adjustments made were of a normal and recurring nature. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2013. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

2. 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):

3. Elimination of Deferred Statutory Profit Sharing Liability, Net
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company completed an organizational restructuring whereby employees of Kansas City Southern de México, S.A. de C.V. (“KCSM”) became employees of KCSM Servicios, S.A. de C.V. (“KCSM Servicios”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. KCSM Servicios provides employee services to KCSM, and KCSM pays KCSM Servicios market-based rates for these services. The effective date of this organizational restructuring was May 1, 2012.
Mexican employees are entitled to receive Mexican statutory profit sharing. The related cash payment to employees is based on an employer’s net profit determined under accounting principles prescribed in Mexican law, rather than its net profit determined under U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP requires the recording of deferred liabilities or assets for financial reporting purposes on the differences between the amounts determined under the two different accounting principles.
As a result of the organizational restructuring, KCSM’s obligation to pay Mexican statutory profit sharing terminated on the effective date. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2012, KCSM recognized a $43.0 million net reduction to operating expense. This reduction includes the elimination of $47.8 million of the deferred Mexican statutory profit sharing liability, net of $4.8 million of

transaction costs. KCSM Servicios became obligated to pay Mexican statutory profit sharing to its employees beginning on the effective date of the organizational restructuring.

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 interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency forward contract agreements, which are classified as Level 2 instruments. 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, where applicable, forward interest rate curves and market currency exchange rates. The fair value of interest rate swap liabilities was $0.3 million and $0.9 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and the fair value of the foreign currency forward contract liabilities was $5.0 million as of June 30, 2013.
The Company’s short-term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. 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 fair value of the Company’s debt was $1,743.9 million and $1,719.9 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The carrying value was $1,814.0 million and $1,607.8 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

6. Derivative Instruments
In general, 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 June 30, 2013, the Company did not expect any losses as a result of default of its counterparties.
Interest Rate Swaps. In the first quarter of 2012, The Kansas City Southern Railway Company (“KCSR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of KCS, entered into four amortizing interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $320.0 million, which were designated as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps effectively converted interest payments from variable rates to fixed rates on a portion of KCSR’s outstanding term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and additional Term Loan A advances (the “Term Loan A-2”). The swaps are highly effective and therefore results in minimal earnings impact associated with the ineffectiveness of these hedges.
During the second quarter of 2013, KCSR repaid the outstanding balance on the Term Loan Facility and terminated the associated interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $140.8 million. As a result of the termination, the Company recognized a loss of $0.4 million, which is included in debt retirement costs within the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2013, the remaining hedging instruments associated with the Term Loan A-2 had an aggregate notional amount of $157.5 million at a fixed rate of 0.4942%. Settlements are indexed to the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and will occur monthly through March 31, 2014.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts. The Company’s Mexican subsidiaries have net U.S. dollar-denominated liabilities (primarily debt) which, for Mexican income tax purposes, are subject to periodic revaluation based on changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Mexican peso. This revaluation creates fluctuations in the Company’s Mexican income tax expense and the amount of income taxes paid in Mexico. During the first half of 2013, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $325.0 million, to hedge its exposure to this risk. These contracts mature on December 31, 2013 and obligate the Company to purchase a total of Ps.4,202.3 million at a weighted average exchange rate of Ps.12.93 to each U.S. dollar. The Company has not designated these forward contracts as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The foreign currency forward contracts 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.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, there was no ineffectiveness recognized related to cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2013, the Company expects that approximately $0.3 million of net losses will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense over the next 12 months.

7. Long-Term Debt
KCSM 121/2% Senior Notes. On April 1, 2013, the Company redeemed all of the remaining $98.1 million aggregate principal amount of the KCSM 121/2% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2016 (the “121/2% Senior Notes”) at a redemption price equal to 106.250% of the principal amount. The Company redeemed the 121/2% Senior Notes using $65.0 million of borrowings under KCSM’s revolving credit facility and cash on hand.
KCSM 8.0% Senior Notes, 65/8% Senior Notes and 61/8% Senior Notes. On April 10, 2013, KCSM commenced a cash tender offer for the 8.0% senior unsecured notes due February 1, 2018 (the “8.0% Senior Notes”), the 65/8% senior unsecured notes due December 15, 2020 (the “65/8% Senior Notes”), and the 61/8% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2021 (the “61/8% Senior Notes”). In addition, KCSM concurrently commenced consent solicitations to amend the indentures governing the 8.0% Senior Notes and 65/8%

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Senior Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default contained therein, which became operative on May 3, 2013.
Through May 8, 2013, KCSM purchased $237.2 million principal amount of the tendered 8.0% Senior Notes, $181.0 million principal amount of the tendered 65/8% Senior Notes and $149.7 million principal amount of the tendered 61/8% Senior Notes (collectively, the “KCSM Senior Notes Tendered”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer using a portion of the proceeds received from the issuance of $275.0 million principal amount of 2.35% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2020 (the “2.35% Senior Notes”) and $450.0 million principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2023 (the “3.0% Senior Notes”).
Subsequent to the expiration of the cash tender offer, through June 26, 2013, KCSM purchased an additional $7.9 million principal amount of the 61/8% Senior Notes and redeemed the remaining $4.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 65/8% Senior Notes. On July 2, 2013, KCSM purchased an additional $1.0 million principal amount of the 61/8% Senior Notes.
KCSM 2.35% Senior Notes. On May 3, 2013, KCSM issued $275.0 million principal amount of 2.35% Senior Notes, which bear interest semiannually at a fixed annual rate of 2.35%. The 2.35% Senior Notes were issued at a discount to par value, resulting in a $0.3 million discount and a yield to maturity of 2.368%. KCSM used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2.35% Senior Notes and the 3.0% Senior Notes to purchase the KCSM Senior Notes Tendered, pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2.35% Senior Notes and 3.0% Senior Notes offerings and the tender offers, to finance the purchase of certain leased equipment and for other general corporate purposes. The 2.35% Senior Notes are redeemable at KCSM’s option, in whole or in part, prior to April 15, 2020, by paying the greater of either (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2.35% Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then-current U.S. Treasury rate plus 20 basis points, plus accrued interest and any additional amounts to but excluding the redemption date. On or after April 15, 2020, the 2.35% Senior Notes may be redeemed at KCSM’s option, in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the notes are redeemable, in whole but not in part, at KCSM’s option at their principal amount, plus any accrued unpaid interest in the event of certain changes in the Mexican withholding tax rate.
KCSM 3.0% Senior Notes. On May 3, 2013, KCSM issued $450.0 million principal amount of the 3.0% Senior Notes, which bear interest semiannually at a fixed annual rate of 3.0%. The 3.0% Senior Notes were issued at a discount to par value, resulting in a $1.9 million discount and a yield to maturity of 3.048%. KCSM used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 3.0% Senior Notes and the 2.35% Senior Notes to purchase the KCSM Senior Notes Tendered, pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2.35% Senior Notes and 3.0% Senior Notes offerings and the tender offers, to finance the purchase of certain leased equipment and for other general corporate purposes. The 3.0% Senior Notes are redeemable at KCSM’s option, in whole or in part, prior to February 15, 2023, by paying the greater of either (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 3.0% Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then-current U.S. Treasury rate plus 20 basis points, plus accrued interest and any additional amounts to but excluding the redemption date. On or after February 15, 2023, the 3.0% Senior Notes may be redeemed at KCSM’s option, in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the notes are redeemable, in whole but not in part, at KCSM’s option at their principal amount, plus any accrued unpaid interest in the event of certain changes in the Mexican withholding tax rate.
The 2.35% Senior Notes and 3.0% Senior Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars; are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations; rank pari passu in right of payment with KCSM’s existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and are senior in right of payment to KCSM’s future subordinated indebtedness. In addition, the senior notes include certain covenants which are customary for these types of debt instruments issued by borrowers with similar credit ratings.
KCSM Revolving Credit Facility. During the second quarter of 2013, KCSM borrowed $65.0 million against the KCSM revolving credit facility, for the redemption of the 121/2% Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2013, the outstanding amount under the KCSM revolving credit facility was $10.0 million. As of December 31, 2012, there was no amount outstanding under the KCSM revolving credit facility.
KCSR 4.30% Senior Notes. On April 29, 2013, KCSR issued $450.0 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2043, which bear interest semiannually at a fixed annual rate of 4.30% (the “4.30% Senior Notes”). The 4.30% Senior Notes were issued at a discount to par value, resulting in a $4.1 million discount and a yield to maturity of 4.355%. The net proceeds from

the offering were used to fund the prepayment of the Term Loan Facility under the KCSR credit agreement, to finance the purchase of certain leased equipment and for other general corporate purposes. The 4.30% Senior Notes are redeemable at KCSR’s option, in whole or in part, prior to November 15, 2042, by paying the greater of either (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 4.30% Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at then-current U.S. Treasury rate plus 25 basis points, plus accrued interest to but excluding the redemption date. On or after November 15, 2042, the 4.30% Senior Notes may be redeemed at KCSR’s option, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
The 4.30% Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured senior basis, by KCS and certain domestic subsidiaries of KCS that guarantee the KCSR credit agreement (the “Note Guarantors”). The 4.30% Senior Notes and the note guarantees rank pari passu in right of payment with KCSR’s, KCS’s and the Note Guarantors’ existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations. In addition, the 4.30% Senior Notes include certain covenants which are customary for these types of debt instruments issued by borrowers with similar credit ratings.
KCSR Term Loan Facility. On April 29, 2013, KCSR repaid the outstanding $277.5 million principal amount of the Term Loan Facility issued under the KCSR credit agreement using a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 4.30% Senior Notes.
Debt Retirement Costs. The Company recognized debt retirement costs of $111.4 million during the second quarter of 2013 related to the tender and call premiums as well as the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts as a result of the refinancing activities described above.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Concession Duty. Under KCSM’s 50-year railroad concession from the Mexican government (the “Concession”), KCSM paid concession duty expense of 0.5% of gross revenues for the first 15 years of the Concession period and, on June 24, 2012, KCSM began paying 1.25% of gross revenues, which is effective for the remaining years of the Concession. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the concession duty expense, which is recorded within materials and other in operating expenses, was $3.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $2.7 million for the same periods in 2012.
Litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings and administrative actions, all of which, except as set forth below, are of an ordinary, routine nature and 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, which management believes are adequate to cover expected costs. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome 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 effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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 Federal 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 legislation 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.

Kansas City Southern
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

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.
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 June 30, 2013, was based on an updated actuarial study of personal injury claims through May 31, 2013, and review of June 2013 experience.
The personal injury liability activity was as follows (in millions):

Certain Disputes with Ferromex. KCSM and Ferrocarril Mexicano, S.A. de C.V. (“Ferromex”) use certain trackage rights, haulage rights and interline services (the “Services”) provided by each other. The rates to be charged after January 1, 2009, were agreed to pursuant to the Trackage Rights Agreement, dated February 9, 2010 (the “Trackage Rights Agreement”), between KCSM and Ferromex. The rates payable for these Services for the period beginning in 1998 through December 31, 2008, are still not resolved. KCSM is currently involved in discussions with Ferromex regarding the amounts payable to each other for the Services for this period. If KCSM cannot reach an agreement with Ferromex for rates applicable for Services which were provided prior to January 1, 2009, which are not subject to the Trackage Rights Agreement, the Mexican Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes (“Secretary of Communications and Transportation” or “SCT”) is entitled to set the rates in accordance with Mexican law and regulations. KCSM and Ferromex both initiated administrative proceedings seeking a determination by the SCT of the rates that KCSM and Ferromex should pay each other in connection with the Services. The SCT issued rulings in 2002 and 2008 setting the rates for the Services and both KCSM and Ferromex challenged these rulings. Although KCSM and Ferromex have challenged these matters based on different grounds and these cases continue to evolve, management believes the amounts recorded related to these matters are adequate.
While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that, when resolved, these disputes will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
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 does not believe that, when resolved, these disputes will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

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 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 uncollectability based on its best estimate at June 30, 2013.
Income Tax. Tax returns filed in the U.S. for periods after 2008 and in Mexico for periods after 2006 remain open to examination by the taxing authorities. KCSM’s 2007 tax return is currently under examination by the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria (the “SAT”), the Mexican equivalent of the IRS. The Company received audit assessments for KCSM for the year ended December 31, 2005, and NAFTA Rail S.A. de C.V. (“NAFTA”) for the year ended December 31, 2009, from the SAT. The Company initiated administrative proceedings with the SAT for both audits and in June 2013, settled the NAFTA assessment for an immaterial amount. If a settlement is not reached on the KCSM assessment, the matter will be litigated. The Company believes it has strong legal arguments in its favor and more likely than not will prevail in any challenges of the KCSM assessment. The Company believes that an adequate provision has been made for any adjustment (taxes and interest) that will be due for all open years. However, an unexpected adverse resolution could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements in a particular quarter or fiscal year.
Panama Canal Railway Company (“PCRC”) Guarantees and Indemnities. At June 30, 2013, the Company had issued and outstanding $5.3 million under a standby letter of credit to fulfill its obligation to fund fifty percent of the debt service 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.

10. Geographic Information
The Company strategically manages its rail operations as one reportable business segment over a single coordinated rail network that extends from the midwest and southeast portions of the United States south into Mexico and connects with other Class I railroads. Financial information reported at this level, such as revenues, operating income and cash flows from operations, is used by corporate management, including the Company’s chief operating decision-maker, in evaluating overall financial and operational performance, market strategies, as well as the decisions to allocate capital resources.
The Company’s strategic initiatives, which drive its operational direction, are developed and managed at the Company’s headquarters and targets are communicated to its various activity centers. The activity centers are responsible for executing the overall corporate strategy and operating plan established by corporate management as a coordinated system. The role of each region is to manage the operational activities and monitor and control costs over the coordinated rail network.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The discussion below, as well as other portions of this Form 10-Q, contain forward-looking statements that are not based upon historical information. Readers can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of such verbs as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes” or similar verbs or conjugations of such verbs. Such forward-looking statements are based upon information currently available to management and management’s perception thereof as of the date of this Form 10-Q. However, such statements are dependent on and, therefore, can be influenced by, a number of external variables over which management has little or no control, including: competition and consolidation within the transportation industry; the business environment in industries that produce and use items shipped by rail; loss of the rail concession of Kansas City Southern’s subsidiary, Kansas City Southern de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.; the termination of, or failure to renew, agreements with customers, other railroads and third parties; interest rates; access to capital; disruptions to the Company’s technology infrastructure, including its computer systems; natural events such as severe weather, hurricanes and floods; market and regulatory responses to climate change; credit risk of customers and counterparties and their failure to meet their financial obligations; legislative and regulatory developments and disputes; rail accidents or other incidents or accidents along KCS’s rail network, facilities or customer facilities involving the release of hazardous materials, including toxic inhalation hazards; fluctuation in prices or availability of key materials, in particular diesel fuel; dependency on certain key suppliers of core rail equipment; changes in securities and capital markets; loss of key personnel; labor difficulties, including strikes and work stoppages; insufficiency of insurance to cover lost revenue, profits or other damages; acts of terrorism or risk of terrorist activities; war or risk of war; domestic and international economic conditions; political and economic conditions in Mexico and the level of trade between the United States and Mexico; and the outcome of claims and litigation involving the Company or its subsidiaries. For more discussion about each risk factor, see Part II Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 1-4717) and Part I Item 1A — “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K and any updates contained herein. Readers are strongly encouraged to consider these factors when evaluating forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the timing when, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. As a result, actual outcomes or results could materially differ from those indicated in forward-looking statements. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements.
This discussion is intended to clarify and focus on Kansas City Southern’s (“KCS” or the “Company”) results of operations, certain changes in its financial position, liquidity, capital structure and business developments for the periods covered by the consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. This discussion should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements and the related notes and is qualified by reference to them.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial position and results of operations is based upon its consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires estimation and judgment that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the accounting for assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. If the estimates differ materially from actual results, the impact on the consolidated financial statements may be material. The Company’s critical accounting policies are disclosed in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
The Company is engaged in the freight rail transportation business, operating a 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 within its regions, and throughout North America through connections with other Class I rail carriers. Customers conduct business in a number of different industries, including electric-generating utilities, chemical and petroleum products, industrial and consumer products, agriculture and mineral products, automotive products and intermodal transportation. Appropriate eliminations and reclassifications have been recorded in deriving the consolidated financial statements.
Second Quarter Analysis
The Company reported quarterly earnings of $0.14 per diluted share on consolidated net income of $15.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to earnings of $1.09 per diluted share on consolidated net income of $120.4 million for the same period in 2012. This decrease is attributable to $111.4 million of debt retirement costs recognized in 2013 and the elimination of $43.0 million of deferred Mexican statutory profit sharing liability recognized in 2012.

23


The Company reported a 6% increase in revenues, a 3% increase in carloads/unit volumes and a 3% increase in revenue per carload/unit during the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012. Revenues increased for all commodity groups, other than agriculture and minerals, driven by positive pricing impacts, the effect of fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar, fuel surcharge and volume. Agriculture and minerals revenues decreased by $19.3 million due to a 20% decrease in grain volumes resulting from the severe drought conditions experienced in the Midwestern region of the U.S. during 2012.
Operating expenses increased $58.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, due to the elimination of $43.0 million of deferred Mexican statutory profit sharing liability as a result of the organizational restructuring in 2012. In addition, operating expenses increased due to increases in casualty expense, the effect of fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar, higher fuel prices and depreciation and amortization expense. These increases were partially offset by lower track and equipment maintenance expenses. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 69.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 62.6% for the same period in 2012. This increase is attributable to the elimination of the deferred Mexican statutory profit sharing liability in 2012.
KCSM’s revenues and operating expenses are affected by fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. Based on the volume of revenue and expense transactions denominated in Mexican pesos, revenue and expense fluctuations generally offset, with insignificant net impacts to operating income.
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company refinanced a significant portion of its existing debt at lower interest rates and extended the debt maturities. As a result of the refinancing, the Company recognized debt retirement costs of $111.4 million for the quarter for the tender and call premiums as well as the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts, as compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2012.
On May 1, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.215 per share, payable on July 3, 2013, to common stockholders of record as of June 10, 2013. The aggregate amount of the dividend declared was $23.8 million.

Freight revenues include revenue for transportation services and fuel surcharges. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, revenues and carload/unit volumes increased 6% and 3%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, revenues and carloads/unit volumes increased 4% and 2%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2012. Revenues increased for all commodity groups, other than agriculture and minerals, which decreased by $19.3 million and $50.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, due to a 20% and a 26%, respectively, decrease in grain volumes resulting from the severe drought conditions experienced in the Midwestern region of the U.S. during 2012. Revenue per carload/unit increased by 3% and 1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, due to positive pricing, the effect of fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar and fuel surcharge, partially offset by commodity mix.
KCS’s fuel surcharge is a mechanism to adjust revenue based upon changing fuel prices. Fuel surcharges are calculated differently depending on the type of commodity transported. For most commodities, fuel surcharge 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 may differ.
The following discussion provides an analysis of revenues by commodity group:
Revenues by commodity group
for the three months ended
June 30, 2013
Chemical and petroleumRevenues increased $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to a 9% increase in revenue per carload/unit and a 2% increase in carload/unit volumes. Revenues increased $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to a 6% increase in revenue per carload/unit. Revenues increased due to positive pricing impacts for petroleum and plastics and increased demand for gases and chemicals used to manufacture glass and other industrial products. Petroleum volumes increased due to the partial recovery of a customer’s lost business.
 

26


Revenues by commodity group
for the three months ended
June 30, 2013
Industrial and consumer productsRevenues increased $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, as revenue per carload/unit increased 4%. Revenues increased $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to a 4% increase in revenue per carload/unit. Forest products revenues increased due to pulp and paper as a result of longer length of haul attributable to cross border manufacturing demand in Mexico, partially offset by lower building material volumes due to increasing lumber prices. Metals and scrap revenues increased due to a high demand for slab and steel coil driven by strength in the automotive and oil and gas industries. In addition, revenues increased due to the effect of fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar.
 
Agriculture and mineralsRevenues decreased $19.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to a 13% reduction in carload/unit volumes and a 6% decrease in revenue per carload/unit. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, revenues decreased $50.2 million due to an 18% reduction in carload/unit volumes and a 6% decrease in revenue per carload/unit. Grain volumes and average length of haul decreased as a result of the severe drought conditions experienced in the Midwestern region of the U.S. during 2012.
 
Energy. Revenues increased $17.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to a 12% increase in both carload/unit volumes and revenue per carload/unit. Revenues increased $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to a 9% increase in revenue per carload/unit and a 7% increase in carload/unit volumes. Crude oil volumes increased as a result of new business. Utility coal revenues increased due to length of haul. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, these increases were partially offset by the decline in utility coal volumes due to utility maintenance outages in the first quarter of 2013.
 
Intermodal. Revenues increased $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to an 8% increase in revenue per carload/unit and a 5% increase in carload/unit volumes. Revenues increased $21.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to an 8% increase in revenue per carload/unit and a 7% increase in carload/unit volumes. The increase in volume was driven by conversion of cross border general commodity truck traffic to rail.
Automotive. Revenues increased $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to a 12% increase in revenue per carload/unit and a 7% increase in carload/unit volumes. Revenues increased $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to a 13% increase in carload/unit volumes and an 11%

27


increase in revenue per carload/unit. The growth was driven by new business, increased import/export volume through the Port of Lazaro Cardenas, and strong year-over-year growth in North American automobile sales for Original Equipment Manufacturers. In addition, revenues increased due to the effect of fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, as shown below (in millions), increased $58.5 million and $58.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due to the elimination of deferred Mexican statutory profit sharing liability as a result of the organizational restructuring in 2012. In addition, operating expenses increased due to increases in casualty expense, the effect of fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar, higher fuel prices and depreciation and amortization expense. These increases were partially offset by lower track and equipment maintenance expenses.

Compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefits increased $4.3 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due to annual salary increases and the effect of fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, these increases were partially offset by a $7.3 million reduction in Mexican deferred statutory profit sharing expense as a result of the organizational restructuring in 2012.
Purchased services. Purchased services expense decreased $9.4 million and $11.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due to lower track maintenance expense as a result of the timing of maintenance activities and the termination of a maintenance contract as a result of in-sourcing of certain maintenance activities. In addition, purchased services expense decreased due to lower equipment maintenance expense and the recognition of various contract rebates in the second quarter of 2013.
Fuel. Fuel expense increased $6.1 million and $8.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due to higher diesel fuel prices as the average price per gallon, including the unfavorable impact of fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar, was $3.04 and $3.03 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $2.78 and $2.81 for the same periods in 2012.
Equipment costs. Equipment costs decreased $2.5 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due to lower locomotive lease expense as a result of the acquisition of 103 locomotives late in the second quarter of 2013, which were previously leased by the Company under operating lease agreements. Equipment costs are expected to decrease on a quarterly basis by approximately $4.0 million as a result of these locomotive lease buyouts.

28


Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $6.0 million and $10.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due to a larger asset base. Depreciation and amortization expense is expected to increase on a quarterly basis by approximately $2.1 million as a result of the acquisition of 103 locomotives late in the second quarter of 2013, which were previously leased by the Company under operating lease agreements.
Materials and other. Materials and other expense increased $11.0 million and $6.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due to a $4.5 million increase in personal injury expense recognized in the second quarter of 2013 compared to a $3.6 million reduction in personal injury expense recognized in the second quarter of 2012, as a result of changes in estimates. Concession duty expense increased as KCSM paid concession duty of 0.5% of gross revenues for the first 15 years of the Concession period, and on June 24, 2012, KCSM began paying 1.25% of gross revenues, which is effective for the remaining years of the Concession. In addition, materials and other expense increased for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to an increase in bulk-handling facility expense. These increases were partially offset by a recovery from a legal dispute in the first quarter of 2013 and the settlement of a legal dispute recognized in the first quarter of 2012.
Elimination of deferred statutory profit sharing liability, net. As a result of the organizational restructuring in the second quarter of 2012, KCSM’s obligation to pay Mexican statutory profit sharing terminated as of May 1, 2012, and accordingly, KCSM recognized a $43.0 million net reduction to operating expense. This reduction includes the elimination of $47.8 million of the deferred Mexican statutory profit sharing liability, net of $4.8 million of transaction costs.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses
Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. Equity in net earnings from unconsolidated affiliates decreased $1.4 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012. The decrease in equity in net earnings from the operations of Panama Canal Railway Company was due to lower container volumes as the movement of containers was either trucked or rerouted to other destinations as a result of delays caused by a system implementation at the Port of Balboa.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $6.1 million and $9.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due to lower average interest rates as a result of the Company’s refinancing activities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the average debt balances were $1,784.5 million and $1,693.2 million, respectively, compared to $1,629.7 million and $1,629.3 million for the same periods in 2012. Average interest rates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were 4.2% and 4.9%, respectively, compared to 6.0% and 6.3% for the same periods in 2012. Interest expense is expected to decrease on a quarterly basis by approximately $5.5 million as a result of the refinancing activities in the second quarter of 2013.
Debt retirement costs. Debt retirement costs increased $106.3 million and $93.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recognized debt retirement costs of $111.4 million related to the tender and call premiums as well as the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts associated with the various KCSM senior notes refinanced and the repayment of the KCSR term loan facility. During the first and second quarters of 2012, the Company recognized debt retirement costs of $12.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, related to the tender and call premiums and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the redemption of the 8.0% Senior Notes due June 1, 2015, issued by KCSR.
Foreign exchange gain (loss). Fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar resulted in a foreign exchange loss of $22.2 million and $8.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to a foreign exchange loss of $3.5 million and a gain of $0.4 million for the same periods in 2012. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, foreign exchange gain (loss) includes a loss of $14.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, on foreign currency forward contracts.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net, increased $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due to higher miscellaneous income.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense decreased $38.9 million and $36.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due to lower pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate was 47.5% and 36.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to 30.5% and 34.9% for the same periods in 2012. The increases in the effective income tax rates were due to the reversal in the second quarter of 2013 of a previously recognized benefit as a result of a court ruling, the reduction in the second quarter of 2012 of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance related to state net operating losses, and foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
In recent years, KCS has improved its financial strength and flexibility by decreasing leverage, extending debt maturities, increasing liquidity and reducing interest expense and preferred stock dividends. As a result, the Company has received investment grade credit ratings from rating agencies as described in the Credit Ratings section below. This improved credit profile allowed the Company to refinance a significant portion of its existing debt at lower interest rates and extend debt maturities during the second quarter of 2013. The Company estimates annualized pre-tax interest savings as a result of this refinancing to be approximately $22.0 million.
Though KCS’s cash flows from operations are sufficient to fund operations, capital expenditures, debt service and dividends, the Company may, from time to time, incur debt to refinance existing indebtedness, buy out operating leases, or to fund equipment additions or new investments. On June 30, 2013, total available liquidity (the unrestricted cash balance plus revolving credit facility availability) was $420.0 million. As of June 30, 2013, the total cash and cash equivalents held outside of the U.S. in foreign subsidiaries was $16.7 million. This cash is available to fund company operations without incurring additional income taxes.
During the first and second quarters of 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends on its common stock of $0.215 per share (total of $47.4 million). Subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, capital availability and a determination that cash dividends continue to be in the best interest of its stockholders, the Company intends to pay a quarterly dividend on an ongoing basis.
KCSM 121/2% Senior Notes. On April 1, 2013, the Company redeemed all of the remaining $98.1 million aggregate principal amount of the KCSM 121/2% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2016 (the “121/2% Senior Notes”) at a redemption price equal to 106.250% of the principal amount. The Company redeemed the 121/2% Senior Notes using $65.0 million of borrowings under KCSM’s revolving credit facility and cash on hand.
KCSM 8.0% Senior Notes, 65/8% Senior Notes and 61/8% Senior Notes. On April 10, 2013, KCSM commenced a cash tender offer for the 8.0% senior unsecured notes due February 1, 2018 (the “8.0% Senior Notes”), the 65/8% senior unsecured notes due December 15, 2020 (the “65/8% Senior Notes”), and the 61/8% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2021 (the “61/8% Senior Notes”). In addition, KCSM concurrently commenced consent solicitations to amend the indentures governing the 8.0% Senior Notes and 65/8% Senior Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default contained therein, which became operative on May 3, 2013.
Through May 8, 2013, KCSM purchased $237.2 million principal amount of the tendered 8.0% Senior Notes, $181.0 million principal amount of the tendered 65/8% Senior Notes and $149.7 million principal amount of the tendered 61/8% Senior Notes (collectively, the “KCSM Senior Notes Tendered”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer using a portion of the proceeds received from the issuance of $275.0 million principal amount of 2.35% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2020 (the “2.35% Senior Notes”) and $450.0 million principal amount of 3.0% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2023 (the “3.0% Senior Notes”).
Subsequent to the expiration of the cash tender offer, through June 26, 2013, KCSM purchased an additional $7.9 million principal amount of the 61/8% Senior Notes and redeemed the remaining $4.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 65/8% Senior Notes. On July 2, 2013, KCSM purchased an additional $1.0 million principal amount of the 61/8% Senior Notes.
KCSM 2.35% Senior Notes. On May 3, 2013, KCSM issued $275.0 million principal amount of 2.35% Senior Notes, which bear interest semiannually at a fixed annual rate of 2.35%. The 2.35% Senior Notes were issued at a discount to par value, resulting in a $0.3 million discount and a yield to maturity of 2.368%. KCSM used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2.35% Senior Notes and the 3.0% Senior Notes to purchase the KCSM Senior Notes Tendered, pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2.35% Senior Notes and 3.0% Senior Notes offerings and the tender offers, to finance the purchase of certain leased equipment and for other general corporate purposes. The 2.35% Senior Notes are redeemable at KCSM’s option, in whole or in part, prior to April 15, 2020, by paying the greater of either (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2.35% Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then-current U.S. Treasury rate plus 20 basis points, plus accrued interest and any additional amounts to but excluding the redemption date. On or after April 15, 2020, the 2.35% Senior Notes may be redeemed at KCSM’s option, in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the notes are redeemable, in whole but not in part, at KCSM’s option at their principal amount, plus any accrued unpaid interest in the event of certain changes in the Mexican withholding tax rate.
KCSM 3.0% Senior Notes. On May 3, 2013, KCSM issued $450.0 million principal amount of the 3.0% Senior Notes, which bear interest semiannually at a fixed annual rate of 3.0%. The 3.0% Senior Notes were issued at a discount to par value, resulting in a

30


$1.9 million discount and a yield to maturity of 3.048%. KCSM used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 3.0% Senior Notes and the 2.35% Senior Notes to purchase the KCSM Senior Notes Tendered, pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2.35% Senior Notes and 3.0% Senior Notes offerings and the tender offers, to finance the purchase of certain leased equipment and for other general corporate purposes. The 3.0% Senior Notes are redeemable at KCSM’s option, in whole or in part, prior to February 15, 2023, by paying the greater of either (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 3.0% Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then-current U.S. Treasury rate plus 20 basis points, plus accrued interest and any additional amounts to but excluding the redemption date. On or after February 15, 2023, the 3.0% Senior Notes may be redeemed at KCSM’s option, in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the notes are redeemable, in whole but not in part, at KCSM’s option at their principal amount, plus any accrued unpaid interest in the event of certain changes in the Mexican withholding tax rate.
The 2.35% Senior Notes and 3.0% Senior Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars; are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations; rank pari passu in right of payment with KCSM’s existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and are senior in right of payment to KCSM’s future subordinated indebtedness. In addition, the senior notes include certain covenants which are customary for these types of debt instruments issued by borrowers with similar credit ratings.
KCSM Revolving Credit Facility. During the second quarter of 2013, KCSM borrowed $65.0 million against the KCSM revolving credit facility, for the redemption of the 121/2% Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2013, the outstanding amount under the KCSM revolving credit facility was $10.0 million. As of December 31, 2012, there was no amount outstanding under the KCSM revolving credit facility.
KCSR 4.30% Senior Notes. On April 29, 2013, KCSR issued $450.0 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2043, which bear interest semiannually at a fixed annual rate of 4.30% (the “4.30% Senior Notes”). The 4.30% Senior Notes were issued at a discount to par value, resulting in a $4.1 million discount and a yield to maturity of 4.355%. The net proceeds from the offering were used to fund the prepayment of the Term Loan Facility under the KCSR credit agreement, to finance the purchase of certain leased equipment and for other general corporate purposes. The 4.30% Senior Notes are redeemable at KCSR’s option, in whole or in part, prior to November 15, 2042, by paying the greater of either (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 4.30% Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at then-current U.S. Treasury rate plus 25 basis points, plus accrued interest to but excluding the redemption date. On or after November 15, 2042, the 4.30% Senior Notes may be redeemed at KCSR’s option, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
The 4.30% Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured senior basis, by KCS and certain domestic subsidiaries of KCS that guarantee the KCSR credit agreement (the “Note Guarantors”). The 4.30% Senior Notes and the note guarantees rank pari passu in right of payment with KCSR’s, KCS’s and the Note Guarantors’ existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations. In addition, the 4.30% Senior Notes include certain covenants which are customary for these types of debt instruments issued by borrowers with similar credit ratings.
KCSR Term Loan Facility. On April 29, 2013, KCSR repaid the outstanding $277.5 million principal amount of the Term Loan Facility issued under the KCSR credit agreement using a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 4.30% Senior Notes.
Debt Retirement Costs. The Company recognized debt retirement costs of $111.4 million during the second quarter of 2013 related to the tender and call premiums as well as the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the original issue discounts as a result of the refinancing activities described above.
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 and other commitments in the foreseeable future. The Company’s current financing instruments contain restrictive covenants which limit or preclude certain actions; however, the covenants are structured such that the Company has sufficient flexibility to conduct its operations. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of June 30, 2013.
For additional discussion of the agreements representing the indebtedness of KCS, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Debt and Capital Structure” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
KCS’s operating results and financing alternatives can be unexpectedly impacted by various factors, some of which are outside of its control. For example, if KCS were to experience a reduction in revenues or a substantial increase in operating costs or other liabilities, its earnings could be significantly reduced, increasing the risk of non-compliance with debt covenants. Additionally, the Company is subject to external factors impacting debt and equity capital markets and its ability to obtain financing under reasonable

31


terms is subject to market conditions. Volatility in capital markets and the tightening of market liquidity could impact KCS’s access to capital. Further, KCS’s cost of debt can be impacted by independent rating agencies which assign debt ratings based on certain factors including credit measurements such as interest coverage and leverage ratios, liquidity and competitive position.
Credit Ratings. Three credit rating agencies provide their views of the Company’s outlook and ratings. Standard & Poor Rating Services (“S&P“) rates the senior unsecured debt and corporate credit of KCS, KCSR and KCSM as investment grade. Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”) rates KCSR’s and KCSM’s senior unsecured debt as investment grade. Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) has assigned an investment grade Issuer Default Rating to KCS, KCSR and KCSM and rates the senior unsecured debt as investment grade. Ratings and outlooks change from time to time and can be found on the websites of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch.

Cash flows from operating activities increased $16.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to increased revenues driven by positive pricing impacts, the effect of fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar, fuel surcharge and volumes. This increase was partially offset by the changes in working capital items, resulting mainly from the timing of certain payments and receipts. Net cash used for investing activities increased $212.9 million due to an increase in capital expenditures and the acquisition of equipment under operating leases. Additional information regarding capital expenditures is provided below. Net cash provided by financing activities increased $120.9 million due to the proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, partially offset by refinancing and associated debt cost payments.

Capital Expenditures
KCS’s cash flows from operations are sufficient to fund capital expenditures; however, the Company may, from time to time, use external sources of cash (principally bank debt, public debt and private debt) to fund capital expenditures.

Other Matters
Approximately 80% of KCSR employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. KCSR participates in industry-wide bargaining as a member of the National Carriers’ Conference Committee. Long-term settlement agreements were reached and ratified during 2011 and the first half of 2012 covering all of the participating unions. These agreements will be in effect through December 2015.
KCSM Servicios union employees are covered by one labor agreement, which was signed on June 23, 1997, between KCSM and the Sindicato de Trabajadores Ferrocarrileros de la República Mexicana (“Mexican Railroad Union”), for a term of fifty years, for the purpose of regulating the relationship between the parties. Approximately 80% of KCSM Servicios employees are covered by this labor agreement. The compensation terms under this labor agreement are subject to renegotiation on an annual basis and all other benefits are subject to negotiation every two years. In July 2013, the negotiation of compensation terms and all other benefits was initiated with the Mexican Railroad Union. The anticipated resolution of this negotiation is not expected to have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements. The union labor negotiations with the Mexican Railroad Union have not historically resulted in any strike, boycott or other disruption in KCSM’s business operations.
