With its nearly 20,000-mile rail network and related transportation services, CN connects Canada's Eastern and Western coasts with the U.S. Midwest and U.S. Gulf Coast, contributing to trade and the prosperity of the communities in which it operates since 1919. DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE VALUE PICTURED (ABOVE FROM LEFT): Brian Arbic, Terminal Coordinator, Intermodal, Thomas Kelly, Conductor, Crystal Monteiro, Lead Hand Operations (COVER): Noel Prasad Joseph, Conductor They are among CN's team of railroaders who deliver service excellence and value every day. As used herein, "Company" or "CN" refers to Canadian National Railway Company and, as the context requires, its wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain statements included in this CN 2025 Investor Fact Book constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and under Canadian securities laws, including statements based on management's assessment and assumptions and publicly available information with respect to CN. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. CN cautions that its assumptions may not materialize and that current economic conditions render such assumptions, although reasonable at the time they were made, subject to greater uncertainty. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terminology such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "assumes," "outlook," "plans," "targets," or other similar words. 2025 KEY ASSUMPTIONS: CN has made a number of economic and market assumptions in preparing its 2025 outlook. The Company continues to assume slightly positive growth in North American industrial production in 2025. For the 2024/2025 crop year, the grain crop in Canada was in line with its five-year average and the U.S. grain crop was above its five-year average. The Company now assumes that the 2025/2026 grain crop in Canada will be above its five-year average (compared to its January 30, 2025 assumption that the 2025/2026 grain crop in Canada will be in line with its five-year average) and continues to assume that the U.S. grain crop will be above its five-year average. CN continues to assume RTM growth will be in the low single-digit range. CN also continues to assume that in 2025, the value of the Canadian dollar in U.S. currency will be in the range of $0.70 to $0.75 and continues to assume that in 2025 the average price of crude oil (West Texas Intermediate) will be in the range of US$60 to US$70 per barrel. The Company notes there is a heightened demand risk as a result of the volatile macroeconomic conditions and global trade tensions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements of CN to be materially different from the outlook or any future results, performance or achievements implied by such statements. Accordingly, readers are advised not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that could affect the forward-looking statements in this CN 2025 Investor Fact Book include, but are not limited to, general economic and business conditions, including factors impacting global supply chains such as pandemics and geopolitical conflicts and tensions; trade restrictions, trade barriers, or the imposition of tariffs or other changes to international trade arrangements; industry competition; inflation, currency and interest rate fluctuations; changes in fuel prices; legislative and/or regulatory developments; compliance with environmental laws and regulations; actions by regulators; increases in maintenance and operating costs; security threats; reliance on technology and related cybersecurity risk; transportation of hazardous materials; various events which could disrupt operations, including illegal blockades of rail networks, and natural events such as severe weather, droughts, fires, floods and earthquakes; climate change; labor negotiations and disruptions; environmental claims; uncertainties of investigations, proceedings and other types of claims and litigation; risks and liabilities arising from derailments; timing and completion of capital programs; the availability of and cost competitiveness of renewable fuels and the development of new locomotive propulsion technology; reputational risks; supplier concentration; pension funding requirements and volatility; and other risks detailed from time to time in reports filed by CN with securities regulators in Canada and the United States. Reference should also be made to Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) in CN's annual and interim reports, Annual Information Form and Form 40-F, filed with Canadian and U.S. securities regulators and available on CN's website, for a description of major risk factors relating to CN. The achievement of CN's climate goals is subject to several risks and uncertainties, including those disclosed in the MD&A in CN's annual and interim reports. There can be no certainty that the Company will achieve any or all of these goals within the stated timeframe, or that achieving any of these goals will meet all of the expectations of its stakeholders or applicable legal requirements. Forward-looking statements reflect information as of the date on which they are made. CN assumes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect future events, changes in circumstances, or changes in beliefs, unless required by applicable securities laws. In the event CN does update any forward-looking statement, no inference should be made that CN will make additional updates with respect to that statement, related matters, or any other forward-looking statement. Information contained on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this CN 2025 Investor Fact Book. NON-GAAP MEASURES: CN reports its financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). CN may also use non-GAAP measures in this CN 2025 Investor Fact Book that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. CN's outlook, guidance, or targets exclude certain adjustments, which are expected to be comparable to adjustments made in prior years. However, management cannot individually quantify on a forward-looking basis the impact of these adjustments, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. As a result, CN does not provide a corresponding GAAP measure for, or reconciliation to, its outlook, guidance or targets. All amounts in this CN 2025 Investor Fact Book are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted. |

Photo by CN employee Jordan Torregrosa Make the Plan NETWORK OPERATIONS develops a plan to move volumes safely and efficiently based on customer needs, with an eye to optimizing train crews, locomotives, rail cars and rail infrastructure. This approach unlocks capacity and enables a fluid network, all while keeping a longer-term view toward ensuring future resources, assets and capital projects can support potential growth. Run the Plan FIELD OPERATIONS focuses on the day-to-day execution of the plan, ensuring trains depart on time and make their scheduled connections, while prioritizing safety and fluidity on our network and in our yards. Adherence to the plan drives higher asset velocity, more consistent utilization of locomotive power and crews, and more reliable first-mile and last-mile service for our customers. Sell the Plan OUR COMMERCIAL TEAM sells into the operating plan and our available capacity. We work closely with our customers to understand their business needs and market dynamics. This helps us plan our capacity and services to unlock opportunities and grow with them. Our Marketing and Operations teams work hand in glove to meet current and future customer demand.

CN railroaders are committed to our scheduled operating model to drive reliable, on-time performance for our customers, helping them win in their markets.

Recognized as one of the top sustainability performers in the transportation industry by the 2025 S&P Global Yearbook. Furthering Our Safety Culture Safety is our core value and the foremost priority for our people, our customers and the communities in which we operate. We are committed to providing the leadership, training and resources necessary to support our continuous improvement in safety. We foster a strong safety culture with ongoing training, including identifying and eliminating potential exposures to prevent workplace injuries and accidents. Along our network and in our workplace, we invest in advanced technologies to enhance our safety performance as we strive to be the safest railroad in North America. CN's safety management system includes over 2,800 wayside detectors that monitor train health in real time, triggering alerts for issues like hot bearings or dragging equipment. Additionally, seven Automated Inspection Portals (AIP) use high-definition imaging and AI to help mechanics identify needed repairs as trains pass through at speed. Decarbonizing Rail Transportation CN is committed to playing a key role in the transition to a low-carbon economy. Rail has a tremendous potential to reduce the environmental impact of transportation services. To further reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, CN seeks to achieve greater fuel efficiency and strategically increase our usage of renewable fuels. In addition to ongoing fleet renewal, we continue to invest in equipping locomotives with technologies to improve overall performance and fuel efficiency. Empowering Our People Our railroaders are the engine that powers our success. We want our culture to motivate and inspire employees to support CN's growth while creating meaningful careers. This includes cultivating a continuous learning culture to help employees expand their skills and address emerging trends. We remain focused on attracting and developing railroaders who can deliver operational and customer service excellence. Industry-leading Governance CN is committed to continuously improving our culture of integrity and ethical business conduct, building trust and confidence with all our stakeholders. In the 2024 Globe and Mail's Report on Business, CN earned a first-place ranking among 215 companies listed on the S&P/TSX Composite Index with a score of 99 out of 100, based on a rigorous set of governance criteria.

CN provides single-line access from coal mines in the U.S. Midwest to domestic power plants and export terminals on the Gulf Coast. Our dedicated Bulk Operations service group supports efficient customer shipments by working with all supply chain partners to manage inventories at mines and terminals, including coordination to meet vessel schedules. For more information, please visit: www.cn.ca/your-industry/coal KEY ADVANTAGES SPOTLIGHT Delivering Supply Chain Advantage for Canadian Coal Exports Metallurgical coal mines in Canada, primarily located in British Columbia and Alberta, provide coke – an essential input in the production of steel. In recent years, market conditions have improved with more favorable metallurgical coal prices and growing export demand for Canada's high-quality, low-sulfur product, notably to supply Asian steelmaking plants. CN's network offers a competitive advantage for producers with time-saving and cost-efficient services to transport the metallurgical coal from mines to export terminals on Canada's West Coast, which has the closest access to the Asian market. In Northeast British Columbia, for example, the recent reactivation of the Quintette steelmaking coal mine is responding to market needs, with shipments underway and CN providing a strategic supply chain link.

Adjusted Performance Measures Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating expenses and adjusted operating ratio are non-GAAP measures that are used to set performance goals and to measure CN's performance and may include the following adjustments: i. operating expense adjustments: workforce reduction program, depreciation expense on the deployment of a replacement system, advisory fees related to shareholder matters, losses and recoveries from assets held for sale, business acquisition-related costs; ii. non-operating expense adjustments: business acquisition-related financing fees, merger termination income, gains and losses on disposal of property; and iii. the effect of changes in tax laws including rate enactments and changes in tax positions affecting prior years. \| 2025 INVESTOR FACT BOOK 32 OVERVIEW MARKETS OPERATIONS FINANCIALS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Quarterly Consolidated Financial and Statistical Information Financial Overview Shareholder and Non-GAAP Measures Investor Information |

Management believes that adjusted net income provides additional insight to management and investors into the Company's operations and underlying business trends as well as facilitate period-to-period comparisons, as it excludes certain significant items that are not reflective of CN's underlying business operations and could distort the analysis of trends in business performance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. This measure helps management and investors evaluate the Company's profitability on a per-share basis, facilitating the assessment of period-over-period performance by removing the impact of significant, non-recurring items. The following table provides a reconciliation of Net income and Earnings per share in accordance with GAAP, as reported for the periods specified, to the non-GAAP adjusted performance measures presented herein: For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company's adjusted net income was $4,506 million, or $7.10 per diluted share, which excludes a loss on assets held for sale of $78 million, or $58 million after-tax ($0.09 per diluted share), recorded in the second quarter, resulting from an agreement to transfer the ownership and related risks and obligations of the Quebec Bridge located in Quebec, Canada, to the Government of Canada.

This measure helps management and investors assess the Company's core operating results by excluding items that may distort the analysis of ongoing business performance. Adjusted operating expenses is defined as Operating expenses in accordance with GAAP adjusted for certain significant operating expense items that are not reflective of CN's underlying business operations. This measure provides management and investors with a view of ongoing costs which exclude unusual or non-recurring items, enabling more accurate assessment of cost management and resource allocation across reporting periods. Adjusted operating ratio is defined as adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of revenues. For management and investors, the adjusted operating ratio serves as a key performance indicator of cost management and overall operational effectiveness, as it demonstrates how effectively management controls costs relative to total revenue by excluding unusual or non-recurring items.

The Company calculates the adjusted debt-to-adjusted EBITDA multiple as adjusted debt divided by the last 12 months of adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted debt is defined as the sum of Long-term debt and Current portion of long-term debt as reported on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as well as Operating lease liabilities, including current portion and pension plans in deficiency recognized on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the debt-like nature of their contractual and financial obligations. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Net income excluding Interest expense, Income tax expense, Depreciation and amortization, operating lease cost, Other components of net periodic benefit income, Other income (loss), and other significant items that are not reflective of CN's underlying business operations and which could distort the analysis of trends in business performance. Adjusted debt and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures used to compute the Adjusted debt-to-adjusted EBITDA multiple. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of debt and Net income in accordance with GAAP, reported as at and for the periods specified, to adjusted debt and adjusted EBITDA, which have been used to calculate the non-GAAP adjusted debt-to-adjusted EBITDA multiple: Unaudited As at and for the year ended December 31 ($ millions, unless otherwise indicated) 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Debt 10,427 10,937 10,828 12,569 13,796 12,906 12,485 15,429 18,473 20,894 Adjustments: Operating lease liabilities, including current portion (1) 607 533 478 579 501 418 430 466 415 477 Pension plans in deficiency (2) 469 442 455 477 521 553 447 353 362 350 Adjusted debt 11,503 11,912 11,761 13,625 14,818 13,877 13,362 16,248 19,250 21,721 Net income (3) 3,529 3,630 5,470 4,312 4,198 3,545 4,899 5,118 5,625 4,448 Interest expense 439 480 481 489 538 554 610 548 722 891 Income tax expense (recovery) (3) 1,333 1,283 (400) 1,348 1,207 976 1,443 1,645 863 1,404 Depreciation and amortization 1,158 1,225 1,281 1,329 1,562 1,589 1,598 1,729 1,817 1,892 Operating lease cost(4) 204 197 191 218 171 143 131 142 149 153 Other components of net periodic benefit income (3) (99) (266) (296) (280) (297) (292) (407) (498) (479) (454) Other loss (income) (47) (95) (12) (376) (53) (6) (43) 27 (134) (42) Adjustments: Workforce reduction program (5) – – – 27 31 – 39 - - - Advisory fees related to shareholder matters (6) – – – – – – 20 22 - - Loss (recovery) on assets held for sale (7) – – – – – 486 (137) - - 78 Transaction-related costs (8) – – – – – – 84 - - - Merger termination fee (8) – – – – – – (886) - - - Adjusted EBITDA 6,517 6,454 6,715 7,067 7,357 6,995 7,351 8,733 8,563 8,370 Adjusted debt-to-adjusted EBITDA multiple (times) 1.77 1.85 1.75 1.93 2.01 1.98 1.82 1.86 2.25 2.60 (1) Represents the present value of operating lease payments.

The Company calculates ROIC as return divided by average invested capital, both of which are non-GAAP measures. Return is defined as Net income plus interest expense after-tax, calculated using the Company's effective tax rate. Average invested capital is defined as the sum of Total shareholders' equity, Long-term debt and Current portion of long-term debt less Cash and cash equivalents, and Restricted cash and cash equivalents, averaged between the beginning and ending balance over the last 12-month period. The Company calculates adjusted ROIC as adjusted return divided by average invested capital, both of which are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted return is defined as adjusted net income plus interest expense after-tax, calculated using the Company's adjusted effective tax rate. Return, average invested capital, ROIC, adjusted return and adjusted ROIC do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of Net income and adjusted net income to return and adjusted return, respectively, as well as the calculation of average invested capital, which have been used to calculate ROIC and adjusted ROIC: (1) In the first quarter of 2022, the Company changed its method of calculating market-related values of pension assets for its defined benefit plans using a retrospective approach. See the Company's selected financial information restated for change in accounting policy filed on September 9, 2022, which may be found online on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com, on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov through EDGAR, and on the Company's website at www.cn.ca in the Investors section, for additional information. (2) The effective tax rate, defined as Income tax expense as a percentage of Income before income taxes, used to calculate the tax on Interest expense for 2024 was 24.0% (2023 - 24.5%, 2022 - 24.3%, 2021 - 22.8%, 2020 - 21.6%, 2019 - 22.3%, 2018 - 23.8%, 2017 - 25.8%, 2016 - 26.1%, 2015 - 27.4%). Due to the significantly lower effective tax rate reported by the Company in 2023, tax on interest expense for 2023 was calculated using an adjusted effective tax rate. Due to the negative effective tax rate reported by the Company in 2017, tax on interest expense for 2017 was calculated using an adjusted effective tax rate. (3) In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03 Interest – Imputation of Interest on a retrospective basis. As a result, debt issuance costs were reclassified from assets to Long-term debt in the amount of $42 million, $37 million, as at December 31, 2015, 2014 respectively. (4) This non-GAAP measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. See the section entitled Adjusted performance measures for an explanation of this non-GAAP measure. (5) Relates to amortization of bridge financing and other fees resulting from the KCS transaction, recorded in Interest expense within the Consolidated Statements of Income. (6) The adjusted effective tax rate is a non-GAAP measure, defined as Income tax expense, net of tax adjustments as presented in Adjusted performance measures as a percentage of Income before taxes, net of pre-tax adjustments as presented in Adjusted performance measures.
