PEORIA, Ill. - Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) today announced profit per share of $0.48 for the third quarter of 2016, a decrease from $0.94 per share in the third quarter of 2015. Excluding restructuring costs, profit per share was $0.85, down from $1.05 per share in the third quarter of 2015. Third-quarter 2016 sales and revenues of $9.2 billion were down 16 percent from $11.0 billion in the third quarter of 2015.
“Economic weakness throughout much of the world persists and, as a result, most of our end markets remain challenged. In North America, the market has an abundance of used construction equipment, rail customers have a substantial number of idle locomotives, and around the world there are a significant number of idle mining trucks,” said Caterpillar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Doug Oberhelman. “However, there were a few bright spots this quarter. Both the construction industry and our machine market position improved in China. Most commodity prices, while low, seem to have stabilized. Parts sales have increased sequentially in each of the last two quarters. Our machine market position and quality remain at high levels and our work on Lean and restructuring are continuing to help us lower costs.
“I’m pleased with how Caterpillar has responded and our team’s incredible focus on reducing costs and pulling through profit despite sluggish end markets. In the third quarter, despite a $1.8 billion decline in sales and revenues, our operating profit pull through was significantly better than our target range. Lower variable manufacturing costs of $234 million and lower period costs of $420 million enabled us to offset much of the negative impact from a weak sales environment and continue investment in products and digital capabilities,” said Oberhelman.

2016 Outlook
The full-year outlook for 2016 sales and revenues is about $39 billion, and profit is $2.35 per share, or $3.25 per share excluding restructuring costs. The outlook does not include potential mark-to-market gains or losses related to pension and OPEB plans, which, as discussed in Q&A #10, are likely to significantly impact full-year 2016 results. The previous outlook for 2016 expected sales and revenues to be in a range of $40.0 to $40.5 billion, with profit at the midpoint of the

sales and revenues range of about $2.75 per share, or about $3.55 per share excluding restructuring costs. Restructuring costs in 2016, which were expected to be about $700 million, are now forecast to be about $800 million, primarily due to asset write downs recognized in the third quarter.

Preliminary Outlook for 2017 Sales and Revenues
Our preliminary outlook for 2017 is that sales and revenues will not be significantly different than 2016. The balance of risk, particularly during the first half of the year, is likely on the negative side. We are, however, encouraged that most commodity prices important to our business have improved from the lows earlier in 2016. Should commodity prices show relative stability and move higher in 2017, it is reasonable to expect that our business would respond, and we could see a more positive second half. Our preliminary outlook for 2017 is based on our expectation that world economic growth will remain subdued at close to 2.5 percent - similar to the past few years.
“While we are seeing early signals of improvement in some areas, we continue to face a number of challenges. We remain cautious as we look ahead to 2017, but are hopeful as the year unfolds we will begin to see more positive momentum.  Whether or not that happens, we are continuing to prepare for a better future. In addition to substantial restructuring and significant cost reduction actions, we've kept our focus on customers and on the future by continuing to invest in our digital capabilities, connecting assets and jobsites and developing the next generation of more productive and efficient products,” said Oberhelman.
Following is a summary of positive and negative factors that could influence 2017 sales and revenues:
Positive factors
Prices for some commodities important to our business have improved from earlier lows. Oil prices are currently near $50 per barrel, but are still volatile. While about 70 percent below the prior peak in 2014, the U.S. active rig count is up 37 percent since May of 2016.
Most prices for mined commodities have risen from lows earlier this year, and we are expecting average prices in 2017 to be flat to up modestly from 2016. We are seeing recent improvement in dealer rebuild activity and some firming of aftermarket parts sales in mining.
The construction industry and our market position have continued to improve in China, and we are expecting a continued small improvement in 2017.
Construction sales in Brazil and Russia have likely bottomed at very low levels in 2016.
After several years of decline, surveys of capital expenditures in the mining sector indicate spending should level off in 2017.

Negative factors
While sentiment around mining has definitely improved, there are still many idle trucks on customer sites, and we have not seen an increase in orders for new equipment.
While mining-related commodity prices have improved, some remain at levels that we believe are too low to drive additional investment.
Construction activity and construction equipment sales in North America during the second half of 2016 are now anticipated to be lower than we expected in our previous 2016 outlook. We are concerned that could continue into 2017.
There is continuing uncertainty in Europe, particularly around the impact of Brexit on European economic growth, business confidence and investment.
While sales in China have improved, there is risk of slowing if Chinese government monetary and fiscal policy become less supportive.

Power generation sales are expected to be down, particularly in the oil-producing regions of Africa/Middle East where the pace of investment has slowed.
Marine engines for boats that service offshore oil and gas are not expected to improve as oil prices, while better, are not expected to be sufficient to improve offshore rig economics in 2017. Tug markets also are expected to be weak with weak freight movement.
We expect continued weakness in industrial engine sales to agricultural customers and small generator set packagers.
North American rail is again expected to be a challenged industry with many idle locomotives.

“As you know, I’ve decided to retire after 41 years at Caterpillar, and Jim Umpleby will succeed me as CEO. He’s been a key part of the leadership team for several years and is absolutely ready to lead Caterpillar. I’m confident I’m turning over a company that’s ready for a better future. We have a great team, our product portfolio is the best ever, our machine market position and quality remain at high levels and we’ve significantly improved our cost structure. At some point, and I think we’re getting closer to that point, our businesses will turn up. Many of our businesses, including mining, oil and gas, rail and construction, are currently operating well below historical replacement demand levels in many parts of the world. It’s a good time for Jim to take over, as I know Caterpillar will deliver even better financial results when key industries begin to improve and get back to mid-cycle replacement demand levels," said Oberhelman.

Highlights
Substantially lower costs in the third quarter helped mitigate the impact of lower sales - restructuring and cost reduction actions are paying off
Market position for machines continuing to improve - including China
Strong balance sheet and continued commitment to stockholders - maintained $0.77 per share dividend (announced October 12, 2016)
Full-year 2016 outlook lowered in challenged environment
2017 sales and revenues are not expected to be significantly different than 2016

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Consolidated Sales and Revenues
cons-salesandrev2016q3.jpg
The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Sales and Revenues between the third quarter of 2015 (at left) and the third quarter of 2016 (at right). Items favorably impacting sales and revenues appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting sales and revenues appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar. Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees.

Sales and Revenues
Total sales and revenues were $9.160 billion in the third quarter of 2016, a decline of $1.802 billion, or 16 percent, compared with $10.962 billion in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume, resulting from lower end-user demand attributable to continued weak commodity prices globally and economic weakness in many developing countries. While sales for both new equipment and aftermarket parts declined in all segments, most of the decrease was for new equipment. The unfavorable impact of price realization also contributed to the decline.
Sales declined in all regions. In North America, sales decreased 20 percent primarily due to lower end-user demand for infrastructure, continuing declines in mining and the impact of low oil prices. In EAME, sales declined 20 percent primarily in Africa/Middle East due to weak economic conditions, resulting from continued low oil and other commodity prices and an uncertain investment environment. Sales decreased 22 percent in Latin America primarily due to continued widespread economic weakness across the region. Weak commodity prices and inflation have also contributed to the decline. Asia/Pacific sales declined 8 percent primarily due to lower end-user demand for most Energy & Transportation applications.
Energy & Transportation’s sales declined 19 percent largely due to lower end-user demand for all applications. Construction Industries’ sales decreased 13 percent primarily due to lower demand from end users and unfavorable price realization. Resource Industries’ sales declined 25 percent mostly due to continued low end-user demand. Financial Products’ segment revenues were about flat with the third quarter of 2015.

Consolidated Operating Profit
cons-opprofit2016q3.jpg
The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Operating Profit (Loss) between the third quarter of 2015 (at left) and the third quarter of 2016 (at right). Items favorably impacting operating profit appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting operating profit appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar. Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees. The bar entitled Other includes consolidating adjustments and Machinery, Energy & Transportation other operating (income) expenses.

Operating profit for the third quarter of 2016 was $481 million, compared with $925 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease of $444 million was primarily due to lower sales volume, resulting from lower end-user demand attributable to continued weak commodity prices globally and economic weakness in many developing countries. In addition, restructuring costs and price realization were unfavorable. These items were partially offset by favorable period costs and variable manufacturing costs. The unfavorable price realization resulted from competitive market conditions, primarily in Construction Industries.
Period costs were lower primarily due to substantial restructuring and cost reduction actions over the past year and lower short-term incentive compensation expense. The reductions primarily impacted period manufacturing costs and selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). About half of the improvement in variable manufacturing costs was due to lower material costs. In addition, the impact of cost absorption was favorable as inventory decreased in the third quarter of 2015 and was about flat in the third quarter of 2016.
Restructuring costs of $324 million in the third quarter of 2016 were related to restructuring programs across the company, primarily in Resource Industries. In the third quarter of 2015, restructuring costs were $98 million.

Other Profit/Loss Items
Other income/expense in the third quarter of 2016 was income of $28 million, compared with expense of $15 million in the third quarter of 2015. The favorable change was primarily due to the net impact from currency translation and hedging gains and losses, partially offset by lower gains from the sales of securities in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015. The favorable change in net currency translation and hedging gains and losses was primarily a result of the absence of net losses in the third quarter of 2015, mostly due to the Brazilian real.

The provision for income taxes in the third quarter reflects an estimated annual tax rate of 25 percent, compared to 28 percent for the third quarter of 2015, and 25.5 percent for the full-year 2015 excluding discrete items. The full-year rate for 2015 of 25.5 percent was lower than the third-quarter 2015 rate of 28 percent, primarily due to the permanent renewal of the U.S. research and development tax credit along with changes in the geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Global Workforce
Caterpillar worldwide, full-time employment was about 97,100 at the end of the third quarter of 2016, compared with about 108,900 at the end of the third quarter of 2015, a decrease of about 11,800 full-time employees. The flexible workforce decreased by about 2,300 for a total decrease in the global workforce of about 14,100. The decrease was primarily the result of restructuring programs and lower production volumes.

1 Does not include inter-segment sales of $27 million and $17 million in third quarter 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Construction Industries’ sales were $3.554 billion in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $521 million, or 13 percent, from the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in sales was due to lower volume and unfavorable price realization. While sales declined for both new equipment and aftermarket parts, most of the decrease was for new equipment.
Sales volume declined primarily due to lower end-user demand.
Unfavorable price realization resulted from competitive market conditions.
Sales decreased in North America, EAME and Latin America and increased in Asia/Pacific.
In North America, the sales decline was primarily due to lower end-user demand. Although residential and non-residential construction activity improved, we believe declines in other sectors, such as oil and gas, have resulted in the availability of used equipment to support the increased activity. The decline was also due to unfavorable price realization, resulting from competitive market conditions.
Sales in EAME decreased primarily due to the unfavorable impact of changes in dealer inventories and unfavorable price realization due to competitive market conditions. Dealers decreased inventories in the third quarter of 2016, compared to a slight increase in the third quarter of 2015. The sales decline was primarily in oil-producing economies in Africa/Middle East due to continued low oil prices and an uncertain investment environment.
In Latin America, end-user demand was down across the region, with the most significant decline in Brazil due to weak economic conditions.
Sales in Asia/Pacific were slightly higher as a result of an increase in end-user demand primarily in China stemming from increased government support in infrastructure and residential investment. In addition, changes in Asia/Pacific dealer inventories were favorable as dealers increased inventories in the third quarter of 2016, compared to a decrease in the third quarter of 2015.

Construction Industries’ profit was $326 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared with $354 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in profit was primarily due to unfavorable price realization resulting from competitive market conditions and lower sales volume. The decline was mostly offset by the favorable impact of restructuring and cost reduction actions, lower short-term incentive compensation expense and improved material costs.

1 Does not include inter-segment sales of $69 million and $88 million in third quarter 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Resource Industries’ sales were $1.377 billion in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $465 million, or 25 percent, from the third quarter of 2015. The decline was primarily due to lower sales volume. While sales for both new equipment and aftermarket parts declined, nearly all of the decrease was for new equipment. Part sales have increased sequentially in each of the last two quarters.
The sales decrease was primarily due to lower end-user demand across all regions. While commodity prices have improved from their recent lows, it is not clear at this time if the current prices are sufficient to drive increased demand for new equipment. Mining customers continued to focus on improving productivity in existing mines and reducing their total capital expenditures, as they have for several years. In addition, sales of large construction equipment, including articulated trucks, are lower primarily in North America. As a result, sales and new orders in Resource Industries continue to be weak.
Resource Industries incurred a loss of $77 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared with a loss of $42 million in the third quarter of 2015. The unfavorable change was due to lower sales volume and unfavorable price realization, partially offset by the impact of restructuring and cost reduction actions, lower short-term incentive compensation expense and improved material costs.

1 Does not include inter-segment sales of $629 million and $702 million in third quarter 2016 and 2015, respectively.  

Energy & Transportation’s sales were $3.534 billion in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $818 million, or 19 percent, from the third quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of lower sales volume across all applications.
Transportation - Sales decreased in all geographic regions primarily due to continued weakness in the rail industry, with the most significant declines in North America and Asia/Pacific. The North American rail industry continues to be depressed with a significant number of idle locomotives that impacted demand for rail services and aftermarket. In Asia/Pacific, the decrease was primarily due to the absence of a large sale of locomotives that occurred in the third quarter of 2015.
Power Generation - Sales decreased in all regions with the largest declines in EAME and Asia/Pacific. The decline in EAME was primarily a result of continued weakness in the Middle East with continued low oil prices limiting investments. The decline in Asia/Pacific was due to the absence of several large projects that occurred in third quarter of 2015.
Oil and Gas - Sales continued to decrease in much of the world due to low oil prices. The sales decline was most significant in Asia/Pacific and North America. In Asia/Pacific, the decrease was primarily due to lower demand for equipment used for production, drilling and gas compression. The decline in sales in North America was mostly due to lower demand for turbines used for production.
Industrial - Sales were lower primarily in EAME and North America. The decline in sales was primarily due to lower end-user demand for most industrial applications.
Energy & Transportation’s profit was $572 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared with $683 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decline was primarily due to a decrease in sales volume, partially offset by the impact of restructuring and cost reduction actions, improved material costs and a favorable impact of cost absorption as inventory decreased in the third quarter of 2015 and was about flat in the third quarter of 2016.

Financial Products’ revenues were $749 million in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $3 million, from the third quarter of 2015. Unfavorable impacts from returned or repossessed equipment, primarily in North America, and lower average earning assets in Latin America and Asia/Pacific were about offset by higher average financing rates, primarily in North America.
Financial Products’ profit was $183 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared with $207 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower gains on sales of securities at Insurance Services in the third quarter of 2016, compared to the third quarter of 2015.
At the end of the third quarter of 2016, past dues at Cat Financial were 2.77 percent, compared with 2.68 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2015. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $29 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared with $69 million for the third quarter of 2015.
As of September 30, 2016, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled $346 million, or 1.28 percent of net finance receivables, compared with $348 million, or 1.26 percent of net finance receivables at September 30, 2015. The allowance for credit losses at year-end 2015 was $338 million, or 1.22 percent of net finance receivables.
Corporate Items and Eliminations
Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $445 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $241 million from the third quarter of 2015. Corporate items and eliminations include: corporate-level expenses; restructuring costs; timing differences, as some expenses are reported in segment profit on a cash basis; retirement benefit costs other than service cost; currency differences for ME&T, as segment profit is reported using annual fixed exchange rates; cost of sales methodology differences as segments use a current cost methodology; and inter-segment eliminations.
The increase in expense from the third quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a $226 million increase in restructuring costs.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1:
Price realization was lower in the third quarter of 2016, compared with the third quarter of 2015, especially in Construction Industries. What do you expect for the remainder of the year?
A:
While we expect to see a competitive pricing environment in the fourth quarter, driven by excess industry capacity and an overall weak economic environment, we are not expecting further deterioration from third-quarter levels in the fourth quarter.
Q2:
Could you summarize the status of the restructuring actions announced on September 24, 2015?
A:
On September 24, 2015, Caterpillar announced a significant restructuring and cost reduction initiative, with actions expected through 2018. It included plans to lower operating costs by about $1.5 billion annually once fully implemented, reduce the workforce by more than 10,000 people, consolidate or close more than 20 facilities and decrease manufacturing square footage by more than 10 percent.
With our most recent restructuring and consolidation announcements, all significant actions included in the September 2015 announcement have been made public. Since September 2015, the company has announced the closure, consolidation or contemplated closure of nearly 30 facilities around the world, which would eliminate more than 11 percent of manufacturing square footage. Additionally, the company has reduced the global workforce by about 14,000, which resulted from a combination of restructuring actions and lower volume.
Through the first nine months of 2016, we reduced period costs, primarily period cost of sales and SG&A expense, by approximately $1.2 billion, compared with the first nine months of 2015. About $330 million of the decrease was a result of lower short-term incentive compensation expense. The remaining decrease of about $880 million was a result of ongoing restructuring and cost reduction actions, including those announced on September 24, 2015.
Q3:
Have you announced restructuring actions this year that were not related to your September 2015 announcement?
A:
Yes. The ongoing weakness in many key end markets Caterpillar serves has resulted in more aggressive cost reduction and restructuring actions than we anticipated in our announcement last September. Over the past year, the company has taken additional restructuring actions, including ending production of on-highway vocational trucks and track drills; pursuing strategic alternatives, including a possible divestiture of room and pillar products; and consolidating two product development divisions within Resource Industries. Additional actions could still be taken as Caterpillar continues to align its cost structure with the economic conditions in its industries.
Restructuring costs for 2016 are expected to be about $800 million, an increase from our expectation of $700 million during the second quarter of 2016. The increase is primarily due to asset write downs recognized in the third quarter resulting from additional restructuring actions in Resource Industries.
Q4:
Can you discuss changes in dealer inventories during 2016?
A:
Changes in dealer inventories had a negative impact on sales in both the third quarter of 2016 and the third quarter of 2015. Dealer machine and engine inventories decreased about $700 million in the third quarter of 2016 and about $600 million in the third quarter of 2015.
During the first nine months of 2016, dealer machine and engine inventories decreased about $800 million. We expect dealers will make substantial inventory reductions during the fourth quarter, resulting in lower year-end inventories in 2016, compared to 2015.

Q5:
Can you discuss changes to your order backlog?
A:
At the end of the third quarter of 2016, the order backlog was $11.6 billion, a reduction of about $150 million from the end of the second quarter of 2016, with no significant changes in any segment. Compared to the third quarter of 2015, the order backlog has declined about $2.1 billion with decreases in all segments.
Q6:
Can you comment on expense related to your 2016 short-term incentive compensation plans?
A:
Short-term incentive compensation expense is directly related to financial and operational performance, measured against targets set annually. As a result of lowering the 2016 profit outlook, we expect full-year incentive compensation expense to be lower than our second-quarter estimate. As a result, no short-term incentive compensation expense was recognized in the third quarter of 2016. Third-quarter 2015 expense was about $120 million. Through the first nine months, 2016 short-term incentive compensation expense was about $200 million.
For 2016, our outlook includes short-term incentive compensation expense of about $265 million. Full-year 2015 short-term incentive compensation expense was about $585 million.
Q7:
Can you give us an update on how Cat Financial is performing?
A:
Cat Financial's portfolio continues to perform well overall despite ongoing weakness in many key end markets.  Third-quarter 2016 past dues were 2.77 percent, compared with 2.68 percent in the third quarter of 2015, with current past dues remaining lower than historical averages.  Write-offs in the third quarter of 2016 were $29 million, or 0.44 percent of the average retail portfolio, compared with $69 million, or 1.04 percent of the average retail portfolio in third quarter of 2015, and slightly below historical averages for the third quarter.  We believe customer risk exposure is well managed, with a broad distribution of portfolio exposure across a global customer base.  Cat Financial continues to work closely with its customers to provide financing support for new Caterpillar product purchases and to actively monitor global portfolio health.
Q8:
Can you comment on your balance sheet and cash priorities?
A:
The ME&T debt-to-capital ratio was 37.1 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2016, compared with 39.0 percent at the end of the second quarter. Our cash and liquidity positions remain strong with an enterprise cash balance of $6.1 billion as of September 30, 2016. ME&T operating cash flow for the third quarter of 2016 was $400 million, compared with $766 million in the third quarter of 2015. For 2016, we expect ME&T operating cash flow to exceed dividends and capital expenditures. Our cash deployment priorities are unchanged, and we remain focused on the continued strength of our balance sheet.
Q9:
Do you expect 2017 funding for your pension and OPEB plans to increase substantially from 2016?
A:
Through September 2016, we have contributed about $270 million to our pension and OPEB plans and we expect full-year contributions of about $350 million. We expect full-year contributions in 2017 to be about $550 million.
Q10: Can you provide more information on the accounting change you made for pension and OPEB plans and the potential impact on 2016?
A:
Effective January 1, 2016, we made a change in accounting principle related to pension and OPEB plans. The expense recognized is essentially split into two components. The first component, annual benefits earned by employees along with interest cost on the liability and an expected return on plan assets, is recognized throughout the year. We consider this “ongoing” pension and OPEB expense. In the fourth quarter, we will recognize the second component, a mark-to-market adjustment, to reflect changes occurring during the year. Generally, changes in interest rates have the most significant impact on the mark-to-market adjustment. In years when interest rates drop, the present value of future benefit payments is higher and we incur a loss. In years when interest rates increase, the present value decreases and we incur a gain. The impact of changing interest rates can be volatile to earnings; however our pension and OPEB obligations will be paid through many years in the future and actual cash payments are expected to be relatively stable. Differences in actual versus expected

investment performance of plan assets and changes in other economic and demographic factors also impact the adjustment.
While this year’s impact could change significantly over the next quarter, based on interest rates (which are lower than year-end 2015) and investment returns as of the end of the third quarter, the year-end impact would be negative to profit after tax by approximately $2 billion or $3.50 per share. This adjustment will have no impact on 2016 cash flow, our pension funding obligations or benefits paid to plan participants.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The following definition is provided for “non-GAAP financial measures” in connection with Regulation G issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures we use have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Management does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or substituted for the related GAAP measure.    
Profit Per Share Excluding Restructuring Costs
We incurred restructuring costs in 2015 and in the first three quarters of 2016 and expect to incur additional restructuring costs in the fourth quarter of 2016. We believe it is important to separately quantify the profit per share impact of restructuring costs in order for our results and outlook to be meaningful to our readers as these costs are incurred in the current year to generate longer-term benefits. We have also provided 2015 profit per share excluding restructuring costs comparable to the 2016 presentation. Reconciliation of profit per share excluding restructuring costs to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, diluted profit per share, are as follows:

Machinery, Energy & Transportation
Caterpillar defines Machinery, Energy & Transportation as it is presented in the supplemental data as Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries with Financial Products accounted for on the equity basis. Machinery, Energy & Transportation information relates to the design, manufacture and marketing of our products. Financial Products’ information relates to the financing to customers and dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment. The nature of these businesses is different, especially with regard to the financial position and cash flow items. Caterpillar management utilizes this presentation internally to highlight these differences. We also believe this presentation will assist readers in understanding our business. Pages 20-28 reconcile Machinery, Energy & Transportation with Financial Products on the equity basis to Caterpillar Inc. consolidated financial information.
