Caterpillar (CAT) Rolling Three-Month Retail Sales Down 10% in Aug. 2013

September 20, 2013 9:04 AM EDT
Caterpillar, Inc. (NYSE: CAT) is furnishing supplemental information concerning deliveries to users for retail sales of machines and sales of power systems (including reciprocating and turbine engines and locomotives) to retail users and Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”). In addition, Caterpillar is providing information relating to the distribution of machinery by geographic region and power systems by major end use. Caterpillar sells the majority of its machinery and power systems to independently owned and operated dealers and OEMs to meet the demands of their customers, the end users. Due to time delays between Caterpillar’s sales to dealers and dealers’ deliveries to end users, Caterpillar believes this information may help readers better understand Caterpillar’s business and the industries it serves. This information is primarily based on unaudited reports provided by Caterpillar’s independent dealers which are not subject to Caterpillar’s internal controls over financial reporting. This information is furnished under this Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Caterpillar does not undertake to update or adjust prior period information.
