Safe Harbor Statement This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the securities laws concerning potential future events involving KCS and its subsidiaries, which could materially differ from the events that actually occur. Words such as “projects,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” and similar expressions are intended to identify many of these forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based upon information currently available to management and management’s perception thereof as of the date hereof. Differences that actually occur could be caused by a number of external factors 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 KCS’ subsidiary, Kansas City Southern de México, S.A. de C.V.; the termination of, or failure to renew, agreements with customers, other railroads and third parties; access to capital; disruptions to KCS’ technology infrastructure, including its computer systems; natural events such as severe weather, hurricanes and floods; market and regulatory responses to climate change; legislative and regulatory developments and disputes; rail accidents or other incidents or accidents on KCS’ rail network or at KCS’ 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; unavailability of qualified personnel; labor difficulties, including strikes and work stoppages; acts of terrorism or risk of terrorist activities; war or risk of war; domestic and international economic, political and social conditions; the level of trade between the United States and Asia or Mexico; fluctuations in the peso-dollar exchange rate; increased demand and traffic congestion; the outcome of claims and litigation involving KCS or its subsidiaries; and other factors affecting the operation of the business. More detailed information about factors that could affect future events may be found in filings by KCS with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including KCS’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 12/31/2019 (File No. 1-4717) and subsequent reports. Forward-looking statements are not, and should not be relied upon as, a guarantee of future performance or results, nor will they necessarily prove to be accurate indications of the times at or by which any such performance or results will be achieved. As a result, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. KCS is not obligated to update any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments. All reconciliations to GAAP can be found on the KCS website, kcsouthern.com/investors. © KANSAS © KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN KCS 2

KCS Exposure to Asian Supply Chain . Cancelled sailings from China to Lazaro Cardenas and U.S. West Coast ports . Intermodal segments impacted: – Lazaro Cardenas & U.S. International/Transcontinental Intermodal: ~40% of KCS’ 2019 intermodal volumes, which represent ~5% of total KCS revenues • ~40% of containers arriving in Lazaro are from China – Panama Canal Railway (PCRC): rolls into KCS equity earnings – Expect impact to volumes in March; impact beyond March depends on duration of factory outages & supply chain disruption . No direct impact to cross-border or U.S. domestic intermodal: ~60% of KCS’ 2019 intermodal volumes . Watching for downstream impact to automotive supply chain created by disruption to auto electronic parts supply chain . Recovery could create a mini-peak in the spring/summer (depending on duration of factory outages) © KANSAS © KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN KCS 8
