7 A Strategic Distribution Centre That Offers More Savings Than You Think A study prepared in January 2018 by Altus Group projected the premium paid for locating in Calgary is 108% higher in 2018, compared to CN Calgary Logistics Park. This increases to 129% higher in 2027, with an average premium of 115%. This doubling of tax burden is driven by two main factors: 1) the initial cost to acquire land is higher in the urban setting, and 2) the mill rate is higher in the urban municipality. The differential itself is projected to rise by nearly 50% over the next decade. This means that locating in CN CLP rather than the City will not only continue to show a payoff by way of lower taxes, but that the advantage for so-locating will grow over time.

8 Tax Burden Cut in Half in CN CLP A report was prepared to study the difference in property and business tax of similar buildings located in The City of Calgary and CN Calgary Logistics Park in Rocky View County. Specifically, we sought to compare the property and business tax burden of theoretical 500,000 square foot warehouses located in each of those municipalities. The Findings: Over the course of that ten-year period, the Calgary-located property will experience total taxes of over $11.8 million, a tax burden of more than double the $5.3 million estimated for the CN CLP location. Calculated Savings No business taxes and nearly half the reality taxes vs. Calgary Reduced dray costs with savings up to $150 per container Get the lowest fuel surcharge in the industry Automated gates for truck turnaround times under 45 minutes Quick road and rail access to streamline last mile logistics Building Smart Real Estate Solutions Contact us to discuss the real estate solution we can create for you.

11 How can I 3 What is Intermodal? If you are looking to improve the service and efficiency of your supply chain while also cutting costs, CN Intermodal can give you the competitive edge you need. Fast and efficient, one benefit of intermodal shipping is that modes of transportation can be changed without handling the freight itself. When containers move from vessel to rail nothing inside of them needs to be unpacked and repacked. These steel boxes are designed to transport anything that can fit and be safely moved inside them. CN Intermodal greatly reduces the amount of time transportation providers spend handling cargo. This increases the speed while reducing the cost it takes to carry goods from origin to destination. In addition to this, driver shortages, increased regulations regarding service hours on the road and ever rising fuel prices, mean that over-the-road transportation for long distances incur not only higher shipping costs but environmental costs as well. As trains are approximately four times more fuel-efficient than trucks, the greater use of combined methods of transportation helps reduce emissions and also helps reduce traffic congestion, accidents, and the burden on an overstressed transportation infrastructure. Reach Farther with CN Intermodal benefit from CN Intermodal services? For shippers trucking cargo distances greater than miles, combining methods of transport (such as train and truck) can provide significant cost savings while adding tremendous value in terms of efficiency and sustainability. CN Intermodal allows shippers to take advantage of the best attributes of rail, truck, and marine vessel, providing a single point of contact that integrates them all for increased efficiencies throughout the supply chain. These increased efficiencies and reduced shipping costs, combined with CN s ongoing investment in intermodal infrastructure and technological innovation, help our customers win in their markets.

12 Why Should I Ship Intermodal? FLEXIBILITY IS AT THE CORE OF INTERMODAL SHIPPING

13 Why should I ship Intermodal? Flexibility is at the core of intermodal shipping. When you ship intermodal, you don t have to be what s known as rail-served. Customers who are rail-served have their own track leading to their facility and are typically customers who ship a large volume of goods by rail on a regular basis. Intermodal is accessible to customers of all sizes. If you can fill one container, we can ship it. Businesses of all sizes can benefit from CN Intermodal. With intermodal shipping, you don t need the infrastructure of larger operations, like your own rail siding. Customers need only be located within a 500-km radius of one of CN s intermodal terminals and we re able to send a truck to their facility. Save on shipping When you re a small to medium-sized business, every dollar counts. With intermodal, we ve been able to help our customers save up to 20% of their shipping costs. For larger retailers, working with CN means they don t need to seek out a third-party freight manager to handle their logistics. We take care of that. Fluctuating market demands As the economy fluctuates, so does demand for goods. Intermodal helps you better manage your inventory because you re able to call for a container when need arises. Lower your carbon footprint 5 Reach Farther with CN Intermodal We work with many of our customers to measure and help them reduce their transportation supply chain GHG emissions by leveraging low carbon rail for the long haul and trucking over shorter distances. CN has developed an industry leading carbon calculator that provides a method for our customers to easily measure the emissions savings from rail, marine, and truck transportation.

14 Show me a shipping container Containers come in different sizes, but they all serve the same purpose moving every type of product imaginable. 20-ft intermodal container 40-ft intermodal container The majority of shipping containers are general purpose. Looking at a container yard full of containers, there could be anything from laundry room appliances to clothing to dry goods inside. Like we said, if it can fit into a container and be safely moved, we can ship it. Fresh and frozen goods, as well as goods that need specialized temperature controls to keep them from freezing in cold conditions, are moved in refrigerated (referred to as reefers around the industry) or thermal containers. 40-ft insulated intermodal container 53-ft intermodal container 6 Reach Farther with CN Intermodal

20 Make your business more sustainable The environmental benefits of shipping by rail. As one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly ways to move goods, rail has a tremendous potential to reduce the environmental impact of transportation by offering sustainable transportation solutions today and into the future. Rail is one of the most sustainable way of shipping cargo over land, emitting four times less greenhouse gases than trucking alone. CN is also the most carbon-efficient North American railroad, consuming 15% less fuel per gross ton mile than the industry average. 468 miles 1 One train can move on average a ton of freight 468 miles on a single gallon of fuel (2) 75% GHG reduction moving freight by rail instead of truck (2) If just 5% of freight moved by truck traveled by rail instead, greenhouse gas emissions would fall by approximately 9 million tons.

21 CN Intermodal revolutionizes the cold supply chain When it comes to shipping your temperature sensitive goods every degree counts and CN has innovated some really cool technologies to integrate temperature-controlled shipping into our already efficient, cost-effective, and flexible Intermodal services.

22 Resilient supply chains and the transforming retail economy Supply chains are often far-reaching. The further goods move, the more moving parts are required to help them get to their destination. The flexibility and accessibility of intermodal helps your supply chain avoid vulnerabilities. FOR EXAMPLE, TAKE THE SPRING THAW. As winter winds down, melting snow and ice seep into the ground. This can cause the ground to shift under stressful conditions and impacts the pavement resting on it. That s why regions across North America implement policies on truck loads, forcing shippers to ship the same amount of goods in more trucks. Rail doesn t have those restrictions, allowing our customers to save money during times like this. 14 Reach Farther with CN Intermodal

23 The transforming retail economy As a business owner, you know better than anyone how ecommerce is transforming the way people shop. Of course, that changes the way you ship. The rise of ecommerce and the immediacy of content and connections has changed the expectations people have for the products they buy. Shippers need to be more agile and better distribute their goods for reaching their customers quickly. Speed matters. CN industry-leading innovation is committed to the speed and efficient delivery of your cargo.
