NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


 


1.          A.  Nature of operations


 


Information in our financial statements and related commentary are presented in the following categories:


 


Machinery, Energy & Transportation (ME&T) – We define ME&T as Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries, excluding Financial Products. ME&T’s information relates to the design, manufacturing and marketing of our products.


 


Financial  Products    We  define  Financial  Products  as  our  finance  and  insurance  subsidiaries,  primarily Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (Cat Financial) and Caterpillar Insurance Holdings Inc. (Insurance Services).  Financial Products’ information relates to the financing to customers and dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment.


 


B.  Basis of presentation


 


In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of (a) the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, (b) the consolidated comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, (c) the consolidated financial position at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, (d) the consolidated changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and (e) the consolidated cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and


2021.  The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).


 


Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (2021 Form 10-K).


 


The December 31, 2021 financial position data included herein is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.   Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.


 


Cat Financial has end-user customers and dealers that are variable interest entities (VIEs) of which we are not the primary beneficiary. Our maximum exposure to loss from our involvement with these VIEs is limited to the credit risk inherently present in the financial support that we have provided. Credit risk was evaluated and reflected in our financial statements as part of our overall portfolio of finance receivables and related allowance for credit losses. See Note 11 for further discussions on a consolidated VIE.


 


2.          New accounting guidance


 


A.  Adoption of new accounting standards


 


We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. We adopted the following ASUs effective January 1, 2022, none of which had a material impact on our financial statements:


 


ASU            Description


2020-06       Debt with conversion and other options and derivatives and hedging


2021-05       Lessor - Variable lease payments


2021-10       Government assistance


 

 


 


B.  Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted


 


We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. We assessed the ASUs and determined that they either were not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.


 


3.          Sales and revenue contract information


 


Trade receivables represent amounts due from dealers and end users for the sale of our products, and include amounts due from wholesale inventory financing provided by Cat Financial for a dealer’s purchase of inventory.  We recognize trade receivables from dealers (including wholesale inventory financing)  and end users in Receivables trade and other and Long-term receivables trade and other in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Trade receivables from dealers and end users were $6,736 million, $7,267 million and $6,310 million as of September 30,


2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  Long-term trade receivables from dealers and end users  were  $448  million,  $624  million  and  $657  million  as  of  September  30,  2022,  December  31,  2021  and December 31, 2020, respectively.


 


We invoice in advance of recognizing the sale of certain products.  We recognize advanced customer payments as a contract liability in Customer advances and Other liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Contract liabilities were $2,290 million, $1,557 million and $1,526 million as of September 30, 2022, December 31,


2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  We reduce the contract liability when revenue is recognized.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $124 million and $781 million, respectively, of revenue that was recorded as a contract liability at the beginning of 2022.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $121 million and $795 million, respectively, of revenue that was recorded as a contract liability at the beginning of 2021.


 


As of September 30, 2022, we have entered into contracts with dealers and end users for which sales have not been recognized as we have not satisfied our performance obligations and transferred control of the products.  The dollar amount of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original duration greater than one year is $10.9 billion, with about one-half of the amount expected to be completed and revenue recognized in the twelve months following September 30, 2022.   We have elected the practical expedient not to disclose unsatisfied performance obligations with an original contract duration of one year or less.  Contracts with an original duration of one year or less are primarily sales to dealers for machinery, engines and replacement parts.


 


See Note 16 for further disaggregated sales and revenues information.


 


4.          Stock-based compensation


 


Accounting for stock-based compensation requires that the cost resulting from all stock-based payments be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award.  Our stock-based compensation consists of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs).


 


We recognized pretax stock-based compensation expense of $55 million and $162 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $58 million and $169 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.


 


The following table illustrates the type and fair value of the stock-based compensation awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

As of September 30, 2022, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock-based compensation awards was $173 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service periods of approximately 1.8 years.


 


5.           Derivative financial instruments and risk management


 


Our earnings and cash flow are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices.  Our Risk Management Policy (policy) allows for the use of derivative financial instruments to prudently manage foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate and commodity price exposures.  Our policy specifies that derivatives are not to be used for speculative purposes.  Derivatives that we use are primarily foreign currency forward, option and cross currency contracts, interest rate contracts and commodity forward and option contracts.  Our derivative activities are subject to the management, direction and control of our senior financial officers.  We present at least annually to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on our risk management practices, including our use of financial derivative instruments.


 


We recognize all derivatives at their fair value on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  On the date the derivative contract is entered into, we designate the derivative as (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flow (cash flow hedge) or (3) an undesignated instrument.   We record in current earnings changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged recognized asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk.  We record in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge, to the extent effective, on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position until we reclassify them to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  We report changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments in current earnings.  We classify cash flows from designated derivative financial instruments within the same category as the item being hedged on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.   We include cash flows from undesignated derivative financial instruments in the investing category on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.


 


We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk- management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.   This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and linking cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions or variability of cash flow.


 


We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the designated derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items.  When a derivative is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge or the underlying hedged transaction is no longer probable, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively, in accordance with the derecognition criteria for hedge accounting.


 


Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk


 


Foreign currency exchange rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the U.S. dollar value of sales made and costs incurred in foreign currencies.  Movements in foreign currency rates also affect our competitive position as these changes may affect business practices and/or pricing strategies of non-U.S.-based competitors.  Additionally, we have balance sheet positions denominated in foreign currencies, thereby creating exposure to movements in exchange rates.


 

 


 


 


Our ME&T operations purchase, manufacture and sell products in many locations around the world.  As we have a diversified revenue and cost base, we manage our future foreign currency cash flow exposure on a net basis.  We use foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage unmatched foreign currency cash inflow and outflow.  Our objective is to minimize the risk of exchange rate movements that would reduce the U.S. dollar value of our foreign currency cash flow.  Our policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flow for up to approximately five  years.  As  of  September  30,  2022,  the  maximum  term  of  these  outstanding  contracts  at  inception  was approximately 60 months.


 


We generally designate as cash flow hedges at inception of the contract any foreign currency forward or option contracts that meet the requirements for hedge accounting and the maturity extends beyond the current quarter-end. We perform designation on a specific exposure basis to support hedge accounting.  The remainder of ME&T foreign currency contracts are undesignated.


 


In managing foreign currency risk for our Financial Products operations, our objective is to minimize earnings volatility resulting from conversion and the remeasurement of net foreign currency balance sheet positions and future transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  Our policy allows the use of foreign currency forward, option and cross currency contracts to offset the risk of currency mismatch between our assets and liabilities and exchange rate risk associated with future transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  Our foreign currency forward and option contracts are primarily undesignated.   We designate fixed-to-fixed cross currency contracts as cash flow hedges to protect against movements in exchange rates on foreign currency fixed-rate assets and liabilities.


 


Interest Rate Risk


 


Interest rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the amount of our interest payments and the value of our fixed-rate debt.  Our practice is to use interest rate contracts to manage our exposure to interest rate changes.


 


Our ME&T operations generally use fixed-rate debt as a source of funding.  Our objective is to minimize the cost of borrowed  funds.    Our  policy  allows  us  to  enter  into  fixed-to-floating  interest  rate  contracts  and  forward  rate agreements to meet that objective.   We designate fixed-to-floating interest rate contracts as fair value hedges at inception of the contract, and we designate certain forward rate agreements as cash flow hedges at inception of the contract.


 


Financial Products operations has a match-funding policy that addresses interest rate risk by aligning the interest rate profile (fixed or floating rate and duration) of Cat Financial’s debt portfolio with the interest rate profile of our receivables portfolio within predetermined ranges on an ongoing basis.  In connection with that policy, we use interest rate derivative instruments to modify the debt structure to match assets within the receivables portfolio.  This matched funding reduces the volatility of margins between interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities, regardless of which direction interest rates move.


 


Our policy allows us to use fixed-to-floating, floating-to-fixed and floating-to-floating interest rate contracts to meet the match-funding objective.  We designate fixed-to-floating interest rate contracts as fair value hedges to protect debt against changes in fair value due to changes in the benchmark interest rate.   We designate most floating-to-fixed interest rate contracts as cash flow hedges to protect against the variability of cash flows due to changes in the benchmark interest rate.


 


We have, at certain times, liquidated fixed-to-floating and floating-to-fixed interest rate contracts at both ME&T and Financial Products.   We amortize the gains or losses associated with these contracts at the time of liquidation into earnings over the original term of the previously designated hedged item.


 


Commodity Price Risk


 


Commodity price movements create a degree of risk by affecting the price we must pay for certain raw materials.  Our policy is to use commodity forward and option contracts to manage the commodity risk and reduce the cost of purchased materials.


 


Our  ME&T  operations  purchase  base  and  precious  metals  embedded  in  the  components  we  purchase  from suppliers.  Our suppliers pass on to us price changes in the commodity portion of the component cost.  In addition, we are subject to price changes on energy products such as natural gas and diesel fuel purchased for operational use.


 

 


 


 


Our objective  is  to  minimize  volatility  in  the  price  of  these  commodities.    Our  policy  allows  us  to  enter  into commodity forward and option contracts to lock in the purchase price of a portion of these commodities within a five- year horizon.  All such commodity forward and option contracts are undesignated.

We enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreements within ME&T and Financial Products that permit the net settlement of amounts owed under their respective derivative contracts.  Under these master netting agreements, net settlement generally permits the company or the counterparty to determine the net amount  payable  for  contracts  due  on  the  same  date  and  in  the  same  currency  for  similar  types  of  derivative transactions.  The master netting agreements may also provide for net settlement of all outstanding contracts with a counterparty in the case of an event of default or a termination event.


 


Collateral is typically not required of the counterparties or of our company under the master netting agreements.  As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no cash collateral was received or pledged under the master netting agreements.


 


The effect of the net settlement provisions of the master netting agreements on our derivative balances upon an event of default or termination event was as follows:

8.           Investments in debt and equity securities


 


We have investments in certain debt and equity securities, which we record at fair value and primarily include in Other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.


 


We classify debt securities primarily as available-for-sale. We include the unrealized gains and losses arising from the revaluation of available-for-sale debt securities, net of applicable deferred income taxes, in equity (AOCI in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position).  We include the unrealized gains and losses arising from the revaluation of the equity securities in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.   We generally determine realized gains and losses on sales of investments using the specific identification method for available-for-sale debt and equity securities and include them in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.


 


The cost basis and fair value of available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized gains and losses included in equity


(AOCI in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position) were as follows:

1 Indicates the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.


 


The unrealized losses on our investments in government debt securities, corporate debt securities, and mortgage- backed debt securities relate to changes in interest rates and credit-related yield spreads since time of purchase.  We do not intend to sell the investments, and it is not likely that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their respective amortized cost basis. In addition, we did not expect credit-related losses on these investments as of September 30, 2022.


 

 


 


The cost basis and fair value of available-for-sale debt securities at September 30, 2022, by contractual maturity, are shown below.  Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay and creditors may have the right to call obligations.

We did not have any investments classified as held-to-maturity debt securities as of September 30, 2022. We had $964 million of investments in time deposits classified as held-to-maturity debt securities as of December 31, 2021. All these investments mature within one year and we include them in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.   We record held-to-maturity debt securities at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.


 


For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the net unrealized gains (losses) for equity securities held at


September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $(12) million and $46 million, respectively.  For the nine months ended


September 30, 2022 and 2021, the net unrealized gains (losses) for equity securities held at September 30, 2022 and


2021 were $(97) million and $65 million, respectively.

11.         Guarantees and product warranty


 


Caterpillar dealer performance guarantees


We have provided an indemnity to a third-party insurance company for potential losses related to performance bonds issued on behalf of Caterpillar dealers.  The bonds have varying terms and are issued to insure governmental agencies against nonperformance by certain dealers.  We also provided guarantees to third-parties related to the performance of contractual obligations by certain Caterpillar dealers.   These guarantees have varying terms and cover potential financial losses incurred by the third parties resulting from the dealers’ nonperformance.


 


In 2016, we provided a guarantee to an end user related to the performance of contractual obligations by a Caterpillar dealer.  Under the guarantee, which was set to expire in 2025, non-performance by the Caterpillar dealer could require Caterpillar to satisfy the contractual obligations by providing goods, services or financial compensation to the end user up to an annual designated cap. This guarantee was terminated during the first quarter of 2022. No payments were made under the guarantee.


 


Supplier consortium performance guarantee


We provided a guarantee to a customer in Europe related to the performance of contractual obligations by a supplier consortium to which one of our Caterpillar subsidiaries was a member.   The guarantee covered potential damages incurred by the customer resulting from the supplier consortium's non-performance.  The damages were capped except for failure of the consortium to meet certain obligations outlined in the contract in the normal course of business.  The guarantee expired during the second quarter of 2022.


 


We have dealer performance guarantees and third-party performance guarantees that do not limit potential payment to end users related to indemnities and other commercial contractual obligations.   In addition, we have entered into contracts involving industry standard indemnifications that do not limit potential payment.   For these unlimited guarantees, we are unable to estimate a maximum potential amount of future payments that could result from claims made.


 


No significant loss has been experienced or is anticipated under any of these guarantees.  At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the related recorded liability was $3 million and $5 million, respectively.  The maximum potential amount of future payments that we can estimate (undiscounted and without reduction for any amounts that may possibly be recovered under recourse or collateralized provisions) and we could be required to make under the guarantees was as follows:

Cat Financial provides guarantees to purchase certain loans of Caterpillar dealers from a special-purpose corporation (SPC) that qualifies as a variable interest entity.  The purpose of the SPC is to provide short-term working capital loans to Caterpillar dealers.  This SPC issues commercial paper and uses the proceeds to fund its loan program. Cat Financial receives a fee for providing this guarantee.  Cat Financial is the primary beneficiary of the SPC as its guarantees result in Cat Financial having both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPC’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, and therefore Cat Financial has consolidated the financial statements of the SPC.  As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the SPC’s assets of $1.09 billion and $888 million, respectively, were primarily comprised of loans to dealers, and the SPC’s liabilities of $1.09 billion and $888 million, respectively, were primarily comprised of commercial paper.   The assets of the SPC are not available to pay Cat Financial’s creditors.  Cat Financial may be obligated to perform under the guarantee if the SPC experiences losses. No loss has been experienced or is anticipated under this loan purchase agreement.


 


We determine our product warranty liability by applying historical claim rate experience to the current field population and dealer inventory.   Generally, we base historical claim rates on actual warranty experience for each product by machine model/engine size by customer or dealer location (inside or outside North America).  We develop specific rates for each product shipment month and update them monthly based on actual warranty claim experience.


 


The reconciliation of the change in our product warranty liability balances for the nine months ended September 30 was as follows:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we excluded 2.1 million and 1.1 million of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.


 

 


 


For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 7.6 million and 17.0 million shares of Caterpillar common stock, respectively, at an aggregate cost of $1.4 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased 6.6 million and 7.8 million shares of Caterpillar common stock, respectively, at an aggregate cost of $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. We made these purchases through a combination of accelerated stock repurchase agreements with third-party financial institutions and open market transactions.


 


In July 2018, the Board approved a share repurchase authorization (the 2018 Authorization) of up to $10.0 billion of Caterpillar common stock effective January 1, 2019, with no expiration. In May 2022, the Board approved a new share repurchase authorization (the 2022 Authorization) of up to $15.0 billion of Caterpillar common stock effective August


1, 2022, with no expiration. Utilization of the 2022 Authorization for all share repurchases commenced on August 1,


2022, leaving approximately $70 million unutilized under the 2018 Authorization as of September 30, 2022. As  of


September 30, 2022, $13.7 billion remained available under the 2022 Authorization.

14.         Environmental and legal matters


 


The Company is regulated by federal, state and international environmental laws governing its use, transport and disposal of substances and control of emissions. In addition to governing our manufacturing and other operations, these laws often impact the development of our products, including, but not limited to, required compliance with air emissions standards applicable to internal combustion engines. We have made, and will continue to make, significant research and development and capital expenditures to comply with these emissions standards.


 


We are engaged in remedial activities at a number of locations, often with other companies, pursuant to federal and state laws. When it is probable we will pay remedial costs at a site, and those costs can be reasonably estimated,  we accrue the investigation, remediation, and operating and maintenance costs against our earnings. We accrue costs based on consideration of currently available data and information with respect to each individual site, including available technologies, current applicable laws and regulations, and prior remediation experience. Where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, we accrue the minimum. Where multiple potentially responsible parties are involved, we consider our proportionate share of the probable costs. In formulating the estimate of probable costs, we do not consider amounts expected to be recovered from insurance companies or others. We reassess these accrued amounts on a quarterly basis. The amount recorded for environmental remediation is not material and is included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. We believe there is no more than a remote chance that a material amount for remedial activities at any individual site, or at all the sites in the aggregate, will be required.


 


On January 7, 2015, the Company received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois. The subpoena requested documents and information from the Company relating to, among other things, financial information concerning U.S. and non-U.S. Caterpillar subsidiaries (including undistributed profits of non- U.S. subsidiaries and the movement of cash among U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries). The Company has received additional subpoenas relating to this investigation requesting additional documents and information relating to, among other things, the purchase and resale of replacement parts by Caterpillar Inc. and non-U.S. Caterpillar subsidiaries, dividend distributions of certain non-U.S. Caterpillar subsidiaries, and Caterpillar SARL (CSARL) and related structures.  On March 2-3, 2017, agents with the Department of Commerce, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Internal Revenue Service executed search and seizure warrants at three facilities of the Company in the Peoria, Illinois area, including its former corporate headquarters. The warrants identify, and agents seized, documents and information related to, among other things, the export of products from the United States, the movement of products between the United States and Switzerland, the relationship between Caterpillar Inc. and CSARL, and sales outside the United States. It is the Company’s understanding that the warrants, which concern both tax and export activities, are related to the ongoing grand jury investigation. The Company is continuing to cooperate with this investigation. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate any potential loss; however, we currently believe that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.


 


In addition, we are involved in other unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The most prevalent of these unresolved actions involve disputes related to product design, manufacture and performance liability (including claimed asbestos exposure), contracts, employment issues, environmental matters, intellectual property rights, taxes (other than income taxes) and securities laws. The aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal actions is not material. In some cases, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss because there is insufficient information regarding the matter. However, we believe there is no more than a remote chance that any liability arising from these matters would be material. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions, we believe that these actions will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.


 


15.         Income taxes


 


The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 23 percent, compared with 25 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, excluding the discrete items discussed below. The comparative tax rate for full-year 2021 was approximately 23 percent.


 

 


 


On September 8, 2022, the company reached a settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that resolves all issues for tax years 2007 through 2016, without any penalties. The company's settlement includes, among other issues, the resolution of disputed tax treatment of profits earned by Caterpillar SARL (CSARL) from certain parts transactions. We vigorously contested the IRS's application of the "substance-over-form" or "assignment-of-income" judicial doctrines and its proposed increases to tax and imposition of accuracy related penalties. The settlement does not include any increases to tax in the United States based on those judicial doctrines and does not include any penalties. The final tax assessed by the IRS for all issues under the settlement was $490 million for the ten-year period. This amount was primarily paid in the nine months ending September 30, 2022, and the associated estimated interest of $250 million is expected to be paid by the end of 2022. The settlement was within the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and enables us to avoid the costs and burdens of further disputes with the IRS. As a result of the settlement, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $41 million to reflect changes in estimates of prior years' taxes and related interest, net of tax. We are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the IRS, and tax years subsequent to 2016 are not yet under examination.


 


In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the company also recorded discrete tax benefits of $49 million to reflect other changes in estimates related to prior years' U.S. taxes, compared to $36 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, the company recorded a discrete tax benefit of $18 million for the settlement of stock-based compensation awards with associated tax deductions in excess of cumulative U.S. GAAP compensation expense, compared with a $61 million benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.


 


 


16.         Segment information


 


A.   Basis for segment information


 


Our Executive Office is comprised of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO), four Group Presidents, a Chief Financial Officer (CFO), a Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel and a Chief Human Resources Officer.   The Group Presidents and CFO are accountable for a related set of end-to-end businesses that they manage.   The Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel leads the Law, Security and Public Policy Division.  The Chief Human Resources Officer leads the Human Resources Organization.   The CEO allocates resources and manages performance at the Group President/CFO level.  As such, the CEO serves as our Chief Operating Decision Maker, and operating segments are primarily based on the Group President/CFO reporting structure.


 


Three of our operating segments, Construction Industries, Resource Industries and Energy & Transportation are led by Group Presidents.   One operating segment, Financial Products, is led by the CFO who also has responsibility for Corporate Services.  Corporate Services is a cost center primarily responsible for the performance of certain support functions globally and to provide centralized services; it does not meet the definition of an operating segment.  One Group President leads one smaller operating segment that is included in the All Other operating segment.  The Law, Security and Public Policy Division and the Human Resources Organization are cost centers and do not meet the definition of an operating segment.


 


Segment information for 2021 has been recast due to a methodology change related to how we assign intersegment sales and segment profit from our technology products and services to Construction Industries, Resource Industries and Energy & Transportation. This methodology change did not have a material impact on our segment results.


 


B.   Description of segments


 


We have five operating segments, of which four are reportable segments. Following is a brief description of our reportable segments and the business activities included in the All Other operating segment:


 


Construction Industries: A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using machinery in infrastructure and   building   construction   applications.   Responsibilities   include   business   strategy,   product   design,   product management  and  development,  manufacturing,  marketing  and  sales  and  product  support.  The  product  portfolio includes asphalt pavers; backhoe loaders; compactors; cold planers; compact track and multi-terrain loaders; mini, small, medium and large track excavators; forestry machines; material handlers; motor graders; pipelayers; road reclaimers;  skid  steer  loaders;  telehandlers;  small  and  medium  track-type  tractors;  track-type  loaders;  wheel excavators; compact, small and medium wheel loaders; and related parts and work tools. Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.


 

 


 


Resource Industries:  A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using machinery in mining, heavy construction and quarry and aggregates. Responsibilities include business strategy, product design, product management  and  development,  manufacturing,  marketing  and  sales  and  product  support.  The  product  portfolio includes large track-type tractors; large mining trucks; hard rock vehicles; longwall miners; electric rope shovels; draglines; hydraulic shovels; rotary drills; large wheel loaders; off-highway trucks; articulated trucks; wheel tractor scrapers; wheel dozers; landfill compactors; soil compactors; select work tools; machinery components; electronics and control systems and related parts. In addition to equipment, Resource Industries also develops and sells technology products and services to provide customers fleet management, equipment management analytics, autonomous machine capabilities, safety services and mining performance solutions. Resource Industries also manages areas that provide services to other parts of the company, including strategic procurement, lean center of excellence, integrated manufacturing,  research  and  development  for  hydraulic  systems,  automation,  electronics  and  software  for  Cat machines and engines.  Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.


 


Energy & Transportation:  A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using reciprocating engines, turbines, diesel-electric locomotives and related services across industries serving Oil and Gas, Power Generation, Industrial and Transportation applications, including marine- and rail-related businesses. Responsibilities include business strategy, product design, product management, development and testing manufacturing, marketing and sales and product support. The product and services portfolio includes turbines, centrifugal gas compressors, and turbine- related services; reciprocating engine-powered generator sets; integrated systems and solutions used in the electric power generation industry; reciprocating engines, drivetrain and integrated systems and solutions for the marine and oil and gas industries; reciprocating engines, drivetrain and integrated systems and solutions supplied to the industrial industry as well as Cat machinery; electrified powertrain and zero-emission power sources and service solutions development; and diesel-electric locomotives and components and other rail-related products and services, including remanufacturing and leasing. Responsibilities also include the remanufacturing of Caterpillar reciprocating engines and components and remanufacturing services for other companies; and product support of on-highway vocational trucks for North America.  Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.


 


Financial Products Segment:   Provides financing alternatives to customers and dealers around the world for Caterpillar products and services, as well as financing for vehicles, power generation facilities and marine vessels that, in most cases, incorporate Caterpillar products. Financing plans include operating and finance leases, installment sale contracts, repair/rebuild financing, working capital loans and wholesale financing plans. The segment also provides insurance and risk management products and services that help customers and dealers manage their business risk. Insurance and risk management products offered include physical damage insurance, inventory protection plans, extended service coverage and maintenance plans for machines and engines, and dealer property and casualty insurance. The various forms of financing, insurance and risk management products offered to customers and dealers help support the purchase and lease of Caterpillar equipment. The segment also earns revenues from ME&T, but the related costs are not allocated to operating segments. Financial Products’ segment profit is determined on a pretax basis and includes other income/expense items.


 


All Other operating segment:   Primarily includes activities such as: business strategy; product management and development; manufacturing and sourcing of filters and fluids, undercarriage, ground-engaging tools, fluid transfer products, precision seals, rubber sealing and connecting components primarily for Cat® products; parts distribution; integrated logistics solutions; distribution services responsible for dealer development and administration, including a wholly owned dealer in Japan; dealer portfolio management and ensuring the most efficient and effective distribution of machines, engines and parts; brand management and marketing strategy; and digital investments for new customer and dealer solutions that integrate data analytics with state-of-the-art digital technologies while transforming the buying experience.  Results for the All Other operating segment are included as a reconciling item between reportable segments and consolidated external reporting.


 


C.   Segment measurement and reconciliations


 


There are several methodology differences between our segment reporting and our external reporting.  The following is a list of the more significant methodology differences:


 


 ME&T  segment  net  assets  generally  include  inventories,  receivables,  property,  plant  and  equipment, goodwill, intangibles, accounts payable and customer advances.  We generally manage at the corporate level liabilities other than accounts payable and customer advances, and we do not include these in segment operations.  Financial Products Segment assets generally include all categories of assets.


 

 


 


             We value segment inventories and cost of sales using a current cost methodology.


 


 We amortize goodwill allocated to segments using a fixed amount based on a 20-year useful life.   This methodology difference only impacts segment assets. We do not include goodwill amortization expense in segment profit.  In addition, we have allocated to segments only a portion of goodwill for certain acquisitions made in 2011 or later.


 


 We generally manage currency exposures for ME&T at the corporate level and do not include in segment profit the effects of changes in exchange rates on results of operations within the year.  We report the net difference created in the translation of revenues and costs between exchange rates used for U.S. GAAP reporting and exchange rates used for segment reporting as a methodology difference.


 


             We do not include stock-based compensation expense in segment profit.


 


 Postretirement benefit expenses are split; segments are generally responsible for service costs, with the remaining elements of net periodic benefit cost included as a methodology difference.


 


 We determine ME&T segment profit on a pretax basis and exclude interest expense and most other income/ expense items.  We determine Financial Products Segment profit on a pretax basis and include other income/ expense items.


 


Reconciling items are created based on accounting differences between segment reporting and our consolidated external  reporting.  Please  refer  to  pages  30  to  33  for  financial  information  regarding  significant  reconciling items.   Most of our reconciling items are self-explanatory given the above explanations.   For the reconciliation of profit, we have grouped the reconciling items as follows:


 


 Corporate costs:   These costs are related to corporate requirements primarily for compliance and legal functions for the benefit of the entire organization.


 


 Restructuring costs:  May include costs for employee separation, long-lived asset impairments and contract terminations.  These costs are included in Other operating (income) expenses except for defined-benefit plan curtailment losses and special termination benefits, which are included in Other income (expense). Restructuring costs also include other exit-related costs, which may consist of accelerated depreciation, inventory write-downs, building demolition, equipment relocation and project management costs and LIFO inventory decrement benefits from inventory liquidations at closed facilities, all of which are primarily included in Cost of goods sold. See Note 20 for more information.


 


 Methodology differences:  See previous discussion of significant accounting differences between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.


 


 Timing:   Timing differences in the recognition of costs between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.  For example, we report certain costs on the cash basis for segment reporting and the accrual basis for consolidated external reporting.

17.         Cat Financial financing activities


 


Allowance for credit losses


 


Portfolio segments


A portfolio segment is the level at which Cat Financial develops a systematic methodology for determining its allowance for credit losses. Cat Financial's portfolio segments and related methods for estimating expected credit losses are as follows:


 


Customer


Cat Financial provides loans and finance leases to end-user customers primarily for the purpose of financing new and used Caterpillar machinery, engines and equipment for commercial use, the majority of which operate in construction- related industries. Cat Financial also provides financing for vehicles, power generation facilities and marine vessels that, in most cases, incorporate Caterpillar products. The average original term of Cat Financial's customer finance receivable portfolio was approximately 50 months with an average remaining term of approximately 26 months as of September 30, 2022.


 


Cat Financial typically maintains a security interest in financed equipment and requires physical damage insurance coverage on the financed equipment, both of which provide Cat Financial with certain rights and protections.  If Cat Financial's collection efforts fail to bring a defaulted account current, Cat Financial generally can repossess the financed equipment, after satisfying local legal requirements, and sell it within the Caterpillar dealer network or through third-party auctions.


 


Cat Financial estimates the allowance for credit losses related to its customer finance receivables based on loss forecast models utilizing probabilities of default and the estimated loss given default based on past loss experience adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts capturing country and industry-specific economic factors.


 


During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Cat Financial's forecasts for the markets in which it operates reflected a continuation of the trend of relatively low unemployment rates and delinquencies. However, high inflation rates and consequent central bank actions are weakening global economic growth.  The company believes the economic forecasts employed represent reasonable and supportable forecasts, followed by a reversion to long-term trends.


 


Dealer


Cat Financial provides financing to Caterpillar dealers in the form of wholesale financing plans. Cat Financial's wholesale financing plans provide assistance to dealers by financing their mostly new Caterpillar equipment inventory and rental fleets on a secured and unsecured basis. In addition, Cat Financial provides a variety of secured and unsecured loans to Caterpillar dealers.


 

 


 


 


Cat Financial estimates the allowance for credit losses for dealer finance receivables based on historical loss rates with consideration of current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.


 


In general, Cat Financial's Dealer portfolio segment has not historically experienced large increases or decreases in credit losses based on changes in economic conditions due to its close working relationships with the dealers and their financial strength. Therefore, Cat Financial made no adjustments to historical loss rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.


 


Classes of finance receivables


Cat Financial further evaluates portfolio segments by the class of finance receivables, which is defined as a level of information (below a portfolio segment) in which the finance receivables have the same initial measurement attribute and a similar method for assessing and monitoring credit risk.  Cat Financial's classes, which align with management reporting for credit losses, are as follows:


 


 


         North America - Finance receivables originated in the United States and Canada.


         EAME - Finance receivables originated in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Commonwealth of


Independent States.


         Asia/Pacific - Finance receivables originated in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Southeast Asia and


India.


         Mining - Finance receivables related to large mining customers worldwide.


         Latin America - Finance receivables originated in Mexico and Central and South American countries.


 Caterpillar  Power  Finance  -  Finance  receivables  originated  worldwide  related  to  marine  vessels  with Caterpillar engines and Caterpillar electrical power generation, gas compression and co-generation systems and non-Caterpillar equipment that is powered by these systems.


 


Receivable balances, including accrued interest, are written off against the allowance for credit losses when, in the judgment of management, they are considered uncollectible (generally upon repossession of the collateral). The amount of the write-off is determined by comparing the fair value of the collateral, less cost to sell, to the amortized cost. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses when received.


 


An analysis of the allowance for credit losses was as follows:

Credit quality of finance receivables


At origination, Cat Financial evaluates credit risk based on a variety of credit quality factors including prior payment experience, customer financial information, credit ratings, loan-to-value ratios, probabilities of default,   industry trends, macroeconomic factors and other internal metrics. On an ongoing basis, Cat Financial monitors credit quality based on past-due status as there is a meaningful correlation between the past-due status of customers and the risk of loss.  In  determining  past-due  status,  Cat  Financial  considers  the  entire  finance  receivable  past  due  when  any installment is over 30 days past due.

Finance receivables in the Customer portfolio segment are substantially secured by collateral, primarily in the form of Caterpillar and other machinery. For those contracts where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, repayment of the outstanding amounts is generally expected to be provided through the operation or repossession and sale of the machinery.


 

 


 


Dealer


 


As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Cat Financial's total amortized cost of finance receivables within the Dealer portfolio segment was current, with the exception of $58 million and $78 million, respectively, that were


91+ days past due in Latin America, all of which were originated in 2017.


 


 


Non-accrual finance receivables


 


Recognition of income is suspended and the finance receivable is placed on non-accrual status when management determines that collection of future income is not probable. Contracts on non-accrual status are generally more than


120 days past due or have been restructured in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). Recognition is resumed and previously suspended income is recognized when collection is considered probable. Payments received while the finance receivable is on non-accrual status are applied to interest and principal in accordance with the contractual terms.  Interest earned but uncollected prior to the receivable being placed on non-accrual status is written off through Provision for credit losses when, in the judgment of management, it is considered uncollectible.


 


In Cat Financial's Customer portfolio segment, finance receivables which were on non-accrual status and finance receivables over 90 days past due and still accruing income were as follows:

There was $2 million and  $1 million of interest income recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for customer finance receivables on non-accrual status.  There was $11 million and $9 million of interest income recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for customer finance receivables on non-accrual status.


 


As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, finance receivables in Cat Financial's Dealer portfolio segment on non-accrual status were $58 million and $78 million, respectively, all of which was in Latin America.  There were no finance receivables in Cat Financial's Dealer portfolio segment more than 90 days past due and still accruing income as of September 30, 2022  and December 31, 2021 and no interest income was recognized on dealer finance receivables on non-accrual status during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.


 


 


Troubled debt restructurings


 


A restructuring of a finance receivable constitutes a TDR when the lender grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties.   Concessions granted may include extended contract maturities, inclusion of interest only periods, below market interest rates, payment deferrals and reduction of principal and/or accrued interest.  Cat Financial individually evaluates TDR contracts and establishes an allowance based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivable's effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent receivables or the observable market price of the receivable.


 

 


 


There were no finance receivables modified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and


2021 for the Dealer portfolio segment.  Cat Financial’s finance receivables in the Customer portfolio segment modified as TDRs were as follows:

18.         Fair value disclosures


 


A.  Fair value measurements


 


The guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  This guidance also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques.  Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from   independent   sources,   while   unobservable   inputs   (lowest   level)   reflect   internally   developed   market assumptions.  In accordance with this guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:


 


         Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.


 


 Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.


 


 Level 3 Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.


 


When available, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value, and we classify such measurements within Level


1.  In some cases where market prices are not available, we make use of observable market based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.  If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon valuations in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, yield curves and currency rates.  These measurements are classified within Level 3.


 


We classify fair value measurements according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation.  We may therefore classify a measurement within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.


 


Fair value measurement includes the consideration of nonperformance risk.  Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty or Caterpillar) will not be fulfilled.   For financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1 and certain Level 2), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price.   For certain other financial assets and liabilities (certain Level 2 and Level 3), our fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly.


 


Investments in debt and equity securities


We have investments in certain debt and equity securities that are recorded at fair value.   Fair values for our U.S. treasury bonds and large capitalization value and smaller company growth equity securities are based upon valuations for identical instruments in active markets.  Fair values for other government debt securities, corporate debt securities and mortgage-backed debt securities are based upon models that take into consideration such market-based factors as recent sales, risk-free yield curves and prices of similarly rated bonds.


 


We also have investments in time deposits classified as held-to-maturity debt securities. The fair value of these investments is based upon valuations observed in less active markets than Level 1.  These investments have a maturity of less than one year and are recorded at amortized costs, which approximate fair value.


 


In addition, Insurance Services has an equity investment in a real estate investment trust (REIT) which is recorded at fair value based on the net asset value (NAV) of the investment and is not classified within the fair value hierarchy.


See Note 8 for additional information on our investments in debt and equity securities. Derivative financial instruments


The fair value of interest rate contracts is primarily based on a standard industry accepted valuation model that utilizes


the  appropriate  market-based  forward  swap  curves  and  zero-coupon  interest  rates  to  determine  discounted  cash flows.  The fair value of foreign currency and commodity forward, option and cross currency contracts is based on standard industry accepted valuation models that discount cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.


 

 


 


See Note 5 for additional information.

In  addition  to  the  amounts  above,  certain  Cat  Financial  loans  are  subject  to  measurement  at  fair  value  on  a nonrecurring basis and are classified as Level 3 measurements.  A loan is measured at fair value when management determines that collection of contractual amounts due is not probable and the loan is individually evaluated.  In these cases, an allowance for credit losses may be established based either on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivables’ effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent receivables, or the observable market price of the receivable.  In determining collateral value, Cat Financial estimates the current fair market value of the collateral less selling costs.  Cat Financial had loans carried at fair value of $90 million and


$100 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.


 


B.  Fair values of financial instruments


 


In addition to the methods and assumptions we use to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the Fair value measurements section above, we use the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments:


 


Cash and cash equivalents


Carrying amount approximates fair value. We classify cash and cash equivalents as Level 1. See Consolidated


Statement of Financial Position.


 


Restricted cash and short-term investments


Carrying amount approximates fair value.  We include restricted cash and short-term investments in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. We classify these instruments as Level 1 except for time deposits which are Level 2, and certain corporate debt securities which are Level 3. See Note 8 for additional information.


 


Finance receivables


We estimate fair value by discounting the future cash flows using current rates, representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.


 

 


 


 


Wholesale inventory receivables


We estimate fair value by discounting the future cash flows using current rates, representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.


 


Short-term borrowings


Carrying amount approximates fair value.  We classify short-term borrowings as Level 1. See Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.


 


Long-term debt


We estimate fair value for fixed and floating rate debt based on quoted market prices.


 


Guarantees


The fair value of guarantees is based upon our estimate of the premium a market participant would require to issue the same guarantee in a stand-alone arms-length transaction with an unrelated party.  If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that utilize current market-based assumptions. We classify guarantees as Level 3. See Note 11 for additional information.

20.         Restructuring costs


 


Our accounting for employee separations is dependent upon how the particular program is designed.  For voluntary programs, we recognize eligible separation costs at the time of employee acceptance unless the acceptance requires explicit approval by the company.   For involuntary programs, we recognize eligible costs when management has approved the program, the affected employees have been properly notified and the costs are estimable.

For both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the restructuring costs were primarily related to actions across the company including strategic actions to address a small number of products.


 


In 2022 and 2021, all restructuring costs are excluded from segment profit.


 


The following table summarizes the 2022 and 2021 employee separation activity:

Overview


 


Total sales and revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $14.994 billion, an increase of $2.597 billion, or 21 percent, compared with $12.397 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts primarily related to the euro, Japanese yen and Australian dollar. The increase in sales volume was driven by the impact from changes in dealer inventories, higher sales of equipment to end users and higher services. Dealers increased inventories by $700 million during the third quarter of 2022, compared with a decrease of $300 million during the third quarter of 2021. Sales were higher across the three primary segments.


 


Third-quarter 2022 profit per share was $3.87, compared with $2.60 profit per share in the third quarter of 2021. Profit per share for both quarters included restructuring costs. Profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.041 billion, an increase of $615 million, or 43%, compared with $1.426 billion for the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) expenses. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. SG&A/R&D expenses increased primarily due to investments aligned with the company's strategy for profitable growth and higher short-term incentive compensation expense.


 

 


 


Global Business Conditions:


We continue to monitor a variety of external factors around the world, such as supply chain disruptions, inflationary cost and labor pressures. Areas of particular focus include certain components, transportation and raw materials. Transportation shortages have resulted in delays and increased costs. In addition, our suppliers are dealing with availability issues and freight delays, which leads to pressure on production in our facilities. Contingency plans have been developed and continue to be modified to minimize supply chain challenges that may impact our ability to meet increasing customer demand. We continue to assess the environment and are taking appropriate price actions in response to rising costs. We will continue to monitor the situation as conditions remain fluid and evolve throughout the year.  We address these external factors throughout the


discussion in the Consolidated Results of Operations section below.

Consolidated Results of Operations


 


THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021


 


CONSOLIDATED SALES AND REVENUES


 


The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated sales and revenues between the third quarter of 2021 (at left) and the third quarter of 2022 (at right). Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees.


 


Total sales and revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $14.994 billion, an increase of $2.597 billion, or 21 percent, compared with $12.397 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts primarily related to the euro, Japanese yen and Australian dollar. The increase in sales volume was driven by the impact from changes in dealer inventories, higher sales of equipment to end users and higher services. Dealers increased inventories by $700 million during the third quarter of 2022, compared with a decrease of $300 million during the third quarter of 2021.


 


Sales were higher across the three primary segments.


 


North America sales increased 33 percent due to favorable price realization, the impact from changes in dealer inventories, services and higher sales of equipment to end users. Dealers increased inventories during the third quarter of 2022, compared with a decrease during the third quarter of 2021.


 


Sales increased 36 percent in Latin America due to favorable price realization, higher sales of equipment to end users and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealers increased inventories during the third quarter of 2022, compared with remaining about flat during the third quarter of 2021.


 


EAME sales increased 8 percent as unfavorable currency impacts, primarily related to the euro and British pound, were more than offset by favorable price realization, the impact from changes in dealer inventories and higher sales of equipment to end users. Dealers increased inventories during the third quarter of 2022, compared with remaining about flat during the third quarter of 2021.


 


Asia/Pacific sales increased 9 percent driven by favorable price realization and the impact from changes in dealer inventories, partially  offset  by  unfavorable  currency  impacts,  related  to  the  Japanese  yen  and  Australian  dollar.  Dealers  increased inventories during the third quarter of 2022, compared with a decrease during the third quarter of 2021.


 


Dealers increased inventories by $700 million during the third quarter of 2022, compared with a decrease of $300 million


during the third quarter of 2021. Most of the increase related to timing differences between when we ship product to dealers and when the dealers, in turn, are able to deliver completed orders to customers. Dealers are independent, and the reasons for changes in their inventory levels vary, including their expectations of future demand and product delivery times. Dealers’ demand expectations take into account seasonal changes, macroeconomic conditions, machine rentals and other factors.


Delivery times can vary based on availability of product from Caterpillar factories and product distribution centers. At year end, we expect dealer inventory levels to be similar to the third quarter of 2022.


 

 


 


Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, we expect higher sales to users and price realization to support the sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2022. We anticipate the fourth quarter will reflect our highest quarterly sales for the year, which is in line with typical seasonality.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING PROFIT


 


The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated operating profit between the third quarter of 2021 (at left) and the third quarter of


2022 (at right). Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees. The bar titled Other includes consolidating adjustments and Machinery, Energy & Transportation's other operating (income) expenses.


 


Operating profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.425 billion, an increase of $761 million, or 46 percent, compared with


$1.664 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies, due to ongoing disruptions to the supply chain. SG&A/R&D expenses increased primarily due to investments aligned with the company's strategy for profitable growth, which included services growth and technology, such as digital, electrification and autonomy, as well as higher short- term incentive compensation expense.


 


Short-term incentive compensation expense was about $400 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to about $350 million in the third quarter of 2021.


 


Operating profit margin was 16.2 percent for the third quarter of 2022, compared with 13.4 percent for the third quarter of


2021.


 


We expect higher sales volume and continued favorable price realization in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with the fourth quarter of 2021. We anticipate the impact of favorable price realization to more than offset manufacturing cost increases, including manufacturing inefficiencies.

Corporate Items and Eliminations included corporate-level expenses, timing differences (as some expenses are reported in segment profit on a cash basis), methodology differences between segment and consolidated external reporting (the company values segment inventories and cost of sales using a current cost methodology), certain restructuring costs and inter-segment eliminations.


 

 


 


Other Profit/Loss and Tax Items


 


 Interest expense excluding Financial Products in the third quarter of 2022 was $109 million, compared with $114 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was due to lower average debt outstanding during the third quarter of 2022, compared with the third quarter of 2021.


 


 Other income (expense) in the third quarter of 2022 was income of $242 million, compared with income of $225 million in the third quarter of 2021. The change was primarily driven by favorable impacts from foreign currency exchange and higher investment and interest income, partially offset by lower gains on marketable securities and lower pension and other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plan income.


 


 The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2022 reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 23 percent, compared with 25 percent for the third quarter of 2021, excluding the discrete items discussed below. The comparative tax rate for full-year 2021 was approximately 23 percent.


 


In the third quarter of 2022, the company reached a settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that resolves all issues for tax years 2007 through 2016, without any penalties. The company’s settlement includes, among other issues, the resolution of disputed tax treatment of profits earned by Caterpillar SARL (CSARL) from certain parts transactions. We vigorously contested the IRS’s application of the “substance-over-form” or “assignment-of-income” judicial doctrines and its proposed increases to tax and imposition of accuracy related penalties. The settlement does not include any increases to tax in the United States based on those judicial doctrines and does not include any penalties. The final tax assessed by the IRS for all issues under the settlement was $490 million for the ten-year period. This amount was primarily paid in the third quarter of 2022, and the associated estimated interest of $250 million is expected to be paid by the end of 2022. The settlement was within the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and enables us to avoid the costs and burdens of further disputes with the IRS. As a result of the settlement, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $41 million to reflect changes in estimates of prior years’ taxes and related interest, net of tax. We are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the IRS, and tax years subsequent to 2016 are not yet under examination.


 


The provision for income taxes in third quarter of 2022 also included a $20 million benefit due to a decrease in the estimated annual tax rate, compared to $39 million in the third quarter of 2021.  The company also recorded a discrete tax benefit of $36 million to reflect changes in estimates related to the prior year’s U.S. taxes in the third quarter of 2021.


 


Construction Industries


 


Construction Industries’ total sales were $6.276 billion in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.021 billion, or 19 percent, compared with $5.255 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts primarily related to the euro, Japanese yen and Australian dollar. The increase in sales volume was driven by the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealer inventory increased during the third quarter of 2022, compared with a decrease during the third quarter of 2021.


 


 In North America, sales increased due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume. Higher sales volume was driven by the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealer inventory decreased during the third quarter of 2021, compared with an increase during the third quarter of 2022. Dealer inventories in North America remained at relatively low levels.


 


 Sales increased in Latin America primarily due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization. Higher sales volume was driven by higher sales of equipment to end users and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealer inventory increased more during the third quarter of 2022 than during the third quarter of 2021.


 


 In EAME, sales were about flat. Unfavorable currency impacts, primarily related to the euro, were offset by favorable price realization.


 


 Sales were about flat in Asia/Pacific. Favorable price realization was offset by unfavorable currency impacts, primarily related to the Japanese yen and Australian dollar.


 


Construction Industries’ profit was $1.209 billion in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $343 million, or 40 percent, compared with $866 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. The increase in SG&A/R&D expenses was primarily driven by investments aligned with strategic initiatives and higher short-term incentive compensation expense.


 


Construction Industries’ profit as a percent of total sales was 19.3 percent in the third quarter of 2022, compared with 16.5 percent in the third quarter of 2021.


 

 


 


Construction Industries’ segment profit as a percent of total sales is expected to improve in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. We expect North America residential construction to moderate due to tightening financial  conditions  but  remain  at  relatively  high  levels.  We  expect  non-residential  construction  to  strengthen  due  to investments related to government infrastructure initiatives. In Asia Pacific, excluding China, we expect moderate growth due to higher infrastructure spending and commodity prices. We expect continued weakness in China in the above 10-ton excavator industry. In EAME, business activity is expected to be flat to slightly down versus last year based on uncertain economic conditions in Europe. Construction activity in Latin America is expected to grow due to supportive commodity prices. We also expect favorable price realization in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The favorable impact of price realization is expected to more than offset manufacturing cost increases in the fourth quarter of 2022.


 


Resource Industries


 


Resource Industries’ total sales were $3.087 billion in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $721 million, or 30 percent, compared with $2.366 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume. The increase in sales volume was due to the impact of changes in dealer inventories, higher sales of aftermarket parts and higher sales of equipment to end users. Dealer inventory decreased during the third quarter of 2021, compared with an increase during the third quarter of 2022.


 


Resource Industries’ profit was $506 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $226 million, or 81 percent, compared with $280 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. The increase in SG&A/ R&D expenses was primarily driven by investments aligned with strategic initiatives.


 


Resource Industries’ profit as a percent of total sales was 16.4 percent in the third quarter of 2022, compared with 11.8 percent in the third quarter of 2021.


 


Resource Industries’ segment profit as a percent of total sales is expected to improve in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Commodity prices remain supportive of continued investment. We expect production and utilization levels will remain elevated, and our autonomous solutions continue to gain momentum. We expect the continuation of high equipment utilization and a low level of parked trucks, which both support future demand for our equipment and services. In Heavy Construction and Quarry and Aggregates, we anticipate continued growth in the fourth quarter. We also expect price realization to be favorable in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The favorable impact from price realization is expected to more than offset manufacturing cost increases in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Energy & Transportation’s total sales were $6.186 billion in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.109 billion, or 22 percent, compared with $5.077 billion in the third quarter of 2021. Sales increased across all applications and inter-segment sales. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts.


 


 Oil and Gas Sales increased due to higher sales of reciprocating engine aftermarket parts and engines used in gas compression and well servicing applications. Turbines and turbine-related services were about flat.


 


 Power Generation Sales increased in large reciprocating engines, primarily data center applications, and small reciprocating engines. Turbines and turbine-related services increased as well.


 


     Industrial – Sales were up across all regions.


 

 


 


 Transportation Sales increased in reciprocating engine aftermarket parts and marine applications. International locomotive deliveries were also higher.


 


Energy & Transportation’s profit was $935 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $229 million, or 32 percent, compared with $706 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. The increase in SG&A/ R&D expenses was primarily driven by investments aligned with strategic initiatives, including electrification and services growth, higher labor-related costs and higher short-term incentive compensation expense.


 


Energy & Transportation’s profit as a percent of total sales was 15.1 percent in the third quarter of 2022, compared with 13.9 percent in the third quarter of 2021.


 


Energy & Transportation's segment profit as a percent of total sales is expected to improve in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. In Oil & Gas, we are encouraged by continued strength in reciprocating engine orders, especially for large engine repowers as asset utilization increases. New equipment orders for turbine and turbine–related services strengthened significantly, particularly in Oil & Gas. Power Generation orders remain healthy due to positive industry dynamics and continued data center strength. Industrial remains healthy with continued momentum in construction, agriculture and electric power. We also anticipate growth in high-speed marine as customers continue to upgrade aging fleets. We also expect favorable price realization in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The favorable impact from price realization is expected to more than offset manufacturing cost increases in the fourth quarter of 2022.


 


Financial Products Segment


 


Financial Products’ segment revenues were $819 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $57 million, or 7 percent, compared with $762 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher average financing rates in North America and Latin America.


 


Financial Products’ segment profit was $220 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $47 million, or 27 percent, compared with $173 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly due to a favorable impact from a lower provision for credit losses at Cat Financial, partially offset by mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts.


 


At the end of the third quarter of 2022, past dues at Cat Financial were 2.00 percent, compared with 2.41 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2021. Past dues decreased across all our portfolio segments, with the exception of an increase in Latin America. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $13 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared with $76 million for the third quarter of 2021. As of September 30, 2022, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled $339 million, or 1.30 percent of finance receivables, compared with $376 million, or 1.41 percent of finance receivables, at June 30, 2022. The allowance for credit losses at year-end 2021 was $337 million, or 1.22 percent of finance receivables.


 


Corporate Items and Eliminations


 


Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $343 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $50 million from the third quarter of 2021, primarily driven by increased expenses due to timing differences, partially offset by favorable impacts of segment reporting methodology differences and lower corporate costs.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING PROFIT


 


The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated operating profit between the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (at left) and the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (at right). Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees. The bar titled Other includes consolidating adjustments and Machinery, Energy & Transportation’s other operating (income) expenses.


 


Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $6.224 billion, an increase of $957 million, or 18 percent, compared with $5.267 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses.


 


Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. For 2022, price realization is expected to more than offset manufacturing cost increases. The increase in SG&A/R&D expenses was driven by investments aligned with the company's strategy for profitable growth, which included services growth and technology, such as digital, electrification and autonomy, as well as higher short-term incentive compensation expense.


 


Short-term incentive compensation expense is directly related to financial and operational performance, measured against targets set annually. Expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was about $1.2 billion, compared with about $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For 2022, short-term incentive compensation expense is expected to be about $1.6 billion, compared with $1.3 billion in 2021.


 


Operating profit margin was 14.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with 14.2 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Other Profit/Loss and Tax Items


 


 Interest expense excluding Financial Products for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $326 million, compared with $376 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was due to lower average debt outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2021.


 


 Other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was income of $755 million, about flat compared with income of $751 million for the nine months September 30, 2021. Favorable impacts from foreign currency exchange were offset by unrealized losses on marketable securities and lower pension and OPEB income.


 


 The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 23 percent, compared with 25 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, excluding the discrete items discussed below. The comparative tax rate for full-year 2021 was approximately 23 percent.


 


On September 8, 2022, the company reached a settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that resolves all issues for tax years 2007 through 2016, without any penalties. The company’s settlement includes, among other issues, the resolution of disputed tax treatment of profits earned by Caterpillar SARL (CSARL) from certain parts transactions. We vigorously contested the IRS’s application of the “substance-over-form” or “assignment-of-income” judicial doctrines and its proposed increases to tax and imposition of accuracy related penalties. The settlement does not include any increases to tax in the United States based on those judicial doctrines and does not include any penalties.  The final tax assessed by the IRS for all issues under the settlement was $490 million for the ten-year period.  This amount was primarily paid in the nine months ending September 30, 2022, and the associated estimated interest of $250 million is expected to be paid by the end of 2022.  The settlement was within the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and enables us to avoid the costs and burdens of further disputes with the IRS. As a result of the settlement, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $41 million to reflect changes in estimates of prior years’ taxes and related interest, net of tax. We are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the IRS, and tax years subsequent to 2016 are not yet under examination.


 


In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the company also recorded discrete tax benefits of $49 million to reflect other changes in estimates related to prior years’ U.S. taxes, compared to $36 million in the nine months ended September


30, 2021.   In addition, the company recorded a discrete tax benefit of $18 million for the settlement of stock-based compensation awards with associated tax deductions in excess of cumulative U.S. GAAP compensation expense, compared with a $61 million benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.


 


Construction Industries


 


Construction Industries’ total sales were $18.424 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $2.054 billion, or 13 percent, compared with $16.370 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts related to the euro, Japanese yen and Australian dollar. The increase in sales volume was driven by the impact from changes in dealer inventories and higher sales of aftermarket parts, partially offset by lower sales of equipment to end users. Dealers increased inventories more during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, than during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.


 


 In North America, sales increased due to favorable price realization, the impact from changes in dealer inventories, higher sales of aftermarket parts and higher sales of equipment to end users. Dealers decreased inventories during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with an increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.


 


 Sales  increased  in  Latin  America  primarily  due  to  higher  sales  of  equipment  to  end  users  and  favorable  price realization.


 


 In EAME, sales increased as unfavorable currency impacts related to the euro were more than offset by favorable price realization and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealers increased inventories more during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, than during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.


 


 Sales decreased in Asia/Pacific due to lower sales of equipment to end users and unfavorable currency impacts related to the Japanese yen and Australian dollar, partially offset by favorable price realization and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealers increased inventories during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with a decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.


 

 


 


Construction Industries’ profit was $3.255 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $318 million, or 11 percent, compared with $2.937 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/ R&D expenses. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. The increase in SG&A/R&D expenses was primarily driven by investments aligned with strategic initiatives and higher short-term incentive compensation expense.


 


Construction Industries’ profit as a percent of total sales was 17.7 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with 17.9 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.


 


Resource Industries


 


Resource Industries’ total sales were $8.878 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $1.787 billion, or 25 percent, compared with $7.091 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization. The increase in sales volume was driven by higher sales of aftermarket parts, the impact from changes in dealer inventories and higher sales of equipment to end users. Dealer inventory increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with a decrease during the nine months ended September 30,


2021.


 


Resource Industries’ profit was $1.222 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $281 million, or


30 percent, compared with $941 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses were more than offset by favorable price realization and higher sales volume. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. The increase in SG&A/R&D expenses was primarily driven by investments aligned with strategic initiatives.


 


Resource Industries’ profit as a percent of total sales was 13.8 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with 13.3 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Energy & Transportation’s total sales were $16.929 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of


$2.370 billion, or 16 percent, compared with $14.559 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Sales increased across all applications and inter-segment sales. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts.


 


 Oil and Gas Sales increased due to higher sales of reciprocating engine aftermarket parts and engines used in well servicing and gas compression applications, primarily in North America, partially offset by lower sales for turbines and turbine-related services.


 


 Power Generation Sales increased in small reciprocating engine applications, reciprocating engine aftermarket parts and turbines and turbine-related services.


 


     Industrial – Sales were up across all regions.


 


 Transportation – Sales increased primarily in reciprocating engine aftermarket parts and marine applications. Rail services and international locomotives deliveries were also higher.


 

 


 


Energy & Transportation’s profit was $2.132 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, about flat compared with


$2.119 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses were offset by favorable price realization and higher sales volume. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. The increase in SG&A/R&D expenses was primarily driven by investments aligned with strategic initiatives and higher short-term incentive compensation expense.


 


Energy & Transportation’s profit as a percent of total sales was 12.6 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with 14.6 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.


 


Financial Products Segment


 


Financial Products’ segment revenues were $2.400 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $103 million, or 4 percent, compared with $2.297 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment in North America and higher average financing rates in Latin America.


 


Financial Products’ segment profit was $675 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $15 million, or 2 percent, compared with $660 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to a favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment and lower provision for credit losses at Cat Financial, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from equity securities in Insurance Services and an increase in SG&A expenses.


 


Corporate Items and Eliminations


 


Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $817 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of


$345 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily driven by favorable impacts of segment reporting methodology, a favorable change in fair value adjustments related to deferred compensation plans and lower expenses due to timing differences, partially offset by higher corporate costs.


 


RESTRUCTURING COSTS


 


In 2022, we expect to incur about $800 million of restructuring costs primarily related to strategic actions to address a small number of products.  Approximately $600 million of the total is a non-cash charge related to the release of accumulated foreign currency translation losses that will be recognized upon the sale of a business containing some of these products, which may not occur until 2023. We expect that prior restructuring actions will result in an incremental benefit to operating costs, primarily Cost of goods sold and SG&A expenses of about $75 million in 2022 compared with 2021.


 


Additional information related to restructuring costs is included in Note 20 - "Restructuring Costs" of Part I, Item 1 "Financial


Statements".

With respect to operating profit, sales volume represents the impact of changes in the quantities sold for Machinery, Energy & Transportation combined with product mix as well as the net operating profit impact of new product introductions, including emissions-related product updates. Product mix represents the net operating profit impact of changes in the relative weighting of Machinery, Energy & Transportation sales with respect to total sales. The impact of sales volume on segment profit includes inter-segment sales.


 


24.  Services Enterprise services include, but are not limited to, aftermarket parts, Financial Products revenues and other service-related revenues. Machinery, Energy & Transportation segments exclude most Financial Products revenues.


 

 


 


 


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


 


Sources of funds


 


We generate significant capital resources from operating activities, which are the primary source of funding for our ME&T operations. Funding for these businesses is also available from commercial paper and long-term debt issuances. Financial Products’ operations are funded primarily from commercial paper, term debt issuances and collections from its existing portfolio. On a consolidated basis, we had positive operating cash flow in the first nine months of 2022 and ended the third quarter with $6.35 billion of cash, a decrease of $2.91 billion from year-end 2021. In addition, ME&T has invested in available- for-sale debt securities that are considered highly liquid and are available for current operations. These securities are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and were $982 million at the end of September 30, 2022.  We intend to maintain a strong cash and liquidity position.


 


Consolidated operating cash flow for the first nine months of 2022 was $5.03 billion, down $759 million compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to payments for short-term incentive compensation in the first quarter of


2022 as well as higher cash taxes paid which includes payments related to settlements with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Partially offsetting these items was higher profit adjusted for non-cash items during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period last year.


 


Total debt as of September 30, 2022 was $36.53 billion, a decrease of $1.26 billion from year-end 2021. Debt related to ME&T


decreased $192 million in the first nine months of 2022 while debt related to Financial Products decreased $1.07 billion.


 


As of September 30, 2022, we had three global credit facilities with a syndicate of banks totaling $10.50 billion (Credit Facility) available in the aggregate to both Caterpillar and Cat Financial for general liquidity purposes. Based on management’s allocation decision, which can be revised from time to time, the portion of the Credit Facility available to ME&T as of September 30, 2022 was $2.75 billion. Information on our Credit Facility is as follows:


 


 In September 2022, we entered into a new 364-day facility. The 364-day facility of $3.15 billion (of which $825 million is available to ME&T) expires in August 2023.


 


 In  September  2022,  we  amended  and  restated  the  three-year  facility  (as  amended  and  restated,  the  "three-year facility"). The three-year facility of $2.73 billion (of which $715 million is available to ME&T) expires in August


2025.


 


     In September 2022, we amended and restated the five-year facility (as amended and restated, the "five-year facility").


The five-year facility of $4.62 billion (of which $1.21 billion is available to ME&T) expires in September 2027.


 


At September 30, 2022, Caterpillar’s consolidated net worth was $15.69 billion, which was above the $9.00 billion required under the Credit Facility. The consolidated net worth is defined in the Credit Facility as the consolidated shareholders’ equity including preferred stock but excluding the pension and other postretirement benefits balance within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).


 


At September 30, 2022, Cat Financial’s covenant interest coverage ratio was 2.59 to 1. This was above the 1.15 to 1 minimum ratio calculated as (1) profit excluding income taxes, interest expense and net gain (loss) from interest rate derivatives to (2) interest expense calculated at the end of each calendar quarter for the rolling four quarter period then most recently ended, required by the Credit Facility.


 


In addition, at September 30, 2022, Cat Financial’s six-month covenant leverage ratio was 7.03 to 1. This was below the maximum ratio of debt to net worth of 10 to 1, calculated (1) on a monthly basis as the average of the leverage ratios determined on the last day of each of the six preceding calendar months and (2) at each December 31, required by the Credit Facility.


 


In the event Caterpillar or Cat Financial does not meet one or more of their respective financial covenants under the Credit Facility in the future (and are unable to obtain a consent or waiver), the syndicate of banks may terminate the commitments allocated to the party that does not meet its covenants. Additionally, in such event, certain of Cat Financial’s other lenders under other loan agreements where similar financial covenants or cross default provisions are applicable may, at their election, choose to  pursue  remedies  under  those  loan  agreements,  including  accelerating  the  repayment  of  outstanding  borrowings.  At September 30, 2022, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

The other external consolidated credit lines with banks as of September 30, 2022 totaled $3.35 billion. These committed and uncommitted credit lines, which may be eligible for renewal at various future dates or have no specified expiration date, are used primarily by our subsidiaries for local funding requirements. Caterpillar or Cat Financial may guarantee subsidiary borrowings under these lines.


 


We receive debt ratings from the major credit rating agencies. Moody’s, Fitch and S&P maintain a “mid-A” debt rating. A downgrade of our credit ratings by any of the major credit rating agencies would result in increased borrowing costs and could make access to certain credit markets more difficult. In the event economic conditions deteriorate such that access to debt markets becomes unavailable, ME&T’s operations would rely on cash flow from operations, use of existing cash balances, borrowings from Cat Financial and access to our committed credit facilities. Our Financial Products’ operations would rely on cash flow from its existing portfolio, existing cash balances, access to our committed credit facilities and other credit line facilities of Cat Financial, and potential borrowings from Caterpillar. In addition, we maintain a support agreement with Cat Financial, which requires Caterpillar to remain the sole owner of Cat Financial and may, under certain circumstances, require Caterpillar to make payments to Cat Financial should Cat Financial fail to maintain certain financial ratios.


 


We facilitate voluntary supply chain finance programs (the “Programs”) through participating financial institutions. The Programs are available to a wide range of suppliers and allow them the option to manage their cash flow.  We are not a party to the agreements between the participating financial institutions and the suppliers in connection with the Programs. The range of payment terms we negotiate with our suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the Programs. The amounts payable to participating financial institutions for suppliers who voluntarily participate in the Programs and included in accounts payable in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position were $894 million and $822 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The amounts settled through the Programs and paid to participating financial institutions were $4.0 billion and $2.9 billion during the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.  We account for payments made under the Programs, the same as our other accounts payable, as a reduction to our cash flows from operations. We do not believe that changes in the availability of supply chain financing will have a significant impact on our liquidity.


 


Machinery, Energy & Transportation


 


Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.19 billion in the first nine months of 2022, compared with net cash provided of


$4.90 billion for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to payments for short-term incentive compensation in the first quarter of 2022, higher payments for taxes which includes payments related to settlements with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and increased working capital requirements during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period last year. Within working capital, changes in inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses unfavorably impacted cash flow but were partially offset by favorable changes in customer advances and accounts receivable. Partially offsetting these unfavorable items was higher profit adjusted for non-cash items during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period a year ago.


 


Net cash used by investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 was $881 million, compared with net cash used of $487 million in the first nine months of 2021. The change was primarily due to decreased activity related to intercompany lending with Financial Products and was partially offset by decreases in net investment activity.


 


Net cash used for financing activities during the first nine months of 2022 was $5.29 billion, compared with net cash used of


$4.67 billion in the same period of 2021. The change was primarily due to higher share repurchases in the first nine months of


2022 and the absence of proceeds from debt issuances which occurred in the first nine months of 2021.   These items were partially offset by lower repayments of maturing debt during the first nine months of 2022.


 

 


 


While our short-term priorities for the use of cash may vary from time to time as business needs and conditions dictate, our long-term cash deployment strategy is focused on the following priorities. Our top priority is to maintain a strong financial position in support of a mid-A rating. Next, we intend to fund operational requirements and commitments. Then, we intend to fund priorities that profitably grow the company and return capital to shareholders through dividend growth and share repurchases. Additional information on cash deployment is as follows:


 


Strong financial positionOur top priority is to maintain a strong financial position in support of a mid-A rating. We track a diverse group of financial metrics that focus on liquidity, leverage, cash flow and margins which align with our cash deployment actions and the various methodologies used by the major credit rating agencies.


 


Operational excellence and commitments Capital expenditures were $880 million during the first nine months of


2022, compared to $693 million for the same period in 2021. We expect ME&T’s capital expenditures in 2022 to be about $1.4 billion. We made $299 million of contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the first nine months of 2022. We currently anticipate full-year 2022 contributions of approximately $357 million. In comparison, we made $229 million of contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the first nine months of 2021.


 


Fund strategic growth initiatives and return capital to shareholders We intend to utilize our liquidity and debt capacity to fund targeted investments that drive long-term profitable growth focused in the areas of expanded offerings and services, including acquisitions.


 


As part of our capital allocation strategy, ME&T free cash flow is a liquidity measure we use to determine the cash generated and available for financing activities including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases. We define ME&T free cash flow as cash from ME&T operations less capital expenditures, excluding discretionary pension and other  postretirement  benefit  plan  contributions  and  cash  payments  related  to  settlements  with  the  U.S.  Internal Revenue Service. A goal of our capital allocation strategy is to return substantially all ME&T free cash flow to shareholders over time in the form of dividends and share repurchases, while maintaining our mid-A rating.


 


Our share repurchase plans are subject to the company’s cash deployment priorities and are evaluated on an ongoing basis  considering  the  financial  condition  of  the  company  and  the  economic  outlook,  corporate  cash  flow,  the company’s liquidity needs, and the health and stability of global credit markets. The timing and amount of future repurchases may vary depending on market conditions and investing priorities. In July 2018, the Board approved a repurchase authorization (the 2018 Authorization) of up to $10.0 billion of Caterpillar common stock effective January


1, 2019, with no expiration. In May 2022, the Board approved a new share repurchase authorization (the 2022


Authorization) of up to $15.0 billion of Caterpillar common stock effective August 1, 2022, with no expiration. Utilization of the 2022 Authorization for all share repurchases commenced on August 1, 2022, leaving $70 million unutilized under the 2018 Authorization as of September 30, 2022. In the first nine months of 2022, we repurchased


$3.31  billion  of  Caterpillar  common  stock,  with  $13.7  billion  remaining  under  the  2022  Authorization  as  of


September 30, 2022. Our basic shares outstanding as of September 30, 2022 were approximately 520 million.


 


Each quarter, our Board of Directors reviews the company’s dividend for the applicable quarter. The Board evaluates the financial condition of the company and considers the economic outlook, corporate cash flow, the company’s liquidity needs, and the health and stability of global credit markets to determine whether to maintain or change the quarterly dividend. In October 2022, the Board of Directors approved maintaining our quarterly dividend representing


$1.20 per share, and we continue to expect our strong financial position to support the dividend. Dividends paid totaled


$1.82 billion in the first nine months of 2022.


 


 


Financial Products


 


Financial Products operating cash flow was $1.25 billion in the first nine months of 2022, compared with $1.10 billion for the same period a year ago. Net cash used for investing activities was $228 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared with net cash used of $468 million for the same period in 2021. The change was primarily due to portfolio related activity. Net cash used for financing activities was $872 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared with net cash used of $289 million for the same period in 2021. The change was primarily due to lower portfolio funding requirements.


 


Financial Products ended the third quarter of 2022 with $943 million of cash, including $142 million in Russia which is currently subject to local government restrictions that substantially limit transfer outside of the country.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES


 


For a discussion of the company’s critical accounting estimates, see Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


 


OTHER MATTERS


 


Information related to legal proceedings appears in Note 14—Environmental and Legal Matters of Part II, Item 8 “Financial


Statements and Supplementary Data.”


 


Retirement Benefits


 


We recognize mark-to-market gains and losses immediately through earnings upon the remeasurement of our pension and OPEB plans. Mark-to-market gains and losses represent the effects of actual results differing from our assumptions and the effects of changing assumptions. We will record the annual mark-to-market adjustment as of the measurement date, December


31, 2022. It is difficult to predict the December 31, 2022 adjustment amount, as it will be dependent primarily on changes in discount rates during 2022, and actual returns on plan assets differing from our expected returns for 2022.


 


Order Backlog


 


At the end of the third quarter of 2022, the dollar amount of backlog believed to be firm was approximately $30.0 billion, about


$1.6 billion higher than the second quarter of 2022.   The order backlog increase was primarily driven by Energy & Transportation and Construction Industries. Of the total backlog at September 30, 2022, approximately $5.7 billion was not expected to be filled in the following twelve months.


 

 


 


NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES


 


We provide the following definitions for the non-GAAP financial measures used in this report. These non-GAAP financial measures  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 as a substitute for the related GAAP measures.


 


We believe it is important to separately quantify the profit impact of one significant item in order for our results to be meaningful to our readers.  This item consists of restructuring costs, which were incurred to generate longer-term benefits. We do not consider this item indicative of earnings from ongoing business activities and believe the non-GAAP measure provides investors with useful perspective on underlying business results and trends and aids with assessing our period-over-period results. In addition, we provide a calculation of ME&T free cash flow as we believe it is an important measure for investors to determine the cash generation available for financing activities including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases.

Supplemental Consolidating Data


 


We are providing supplemental consolidating data for the purpose of additional analysis.  The data has been grouped as follows:


 


Consolidated – Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries.


 


Machinery, Energy & Transportation – We define ME&T as it is presented in the supplemental data as Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries, excluding Financial Products. ME&T’s information relates to the design, manufacturing and marketing of our products.


 


Financial Products – We define Financial Products as it is presented in the supplemental data as our finance and insurance subsidiaries, primarily Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (Cat Financial) and Caterpillar Insurance Holdings Inc. (Insurance Services).  Financial Products’ information relates to the financing to customers and dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment.


 


Consolidating Adjustments – Eliminations of transactions between ME&T and Financial Products.


 


The nature of the ME&T and Financial Products 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 believe this presentation will assist readers in understanding our business.


 


Pages 67 to 74 reconcile ME&T and Financial Products to Caterpillar Inc. consolidated financial information. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)



 



1.          A.  Nature of operations



 



Information in our financial statements and related commentary are presented in the following categories:



 



Machinery, Energy & Transportation (ME&T) – We define ME&T as Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries, excluding Financial Products. ME&T’s information relates to the design, manufacturing and marketing of our products.



 



Financial  Products    We  define  Financial  Products  as  our  finance  and  insurance  subsidiaries,  primarily Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (Cat Financial) and Caterpillar Insurance Holdings Inc. (Insurance Services).  Financial Products’ information relates to the financing to customers and dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment.



 



B.  Basis of presentation



 



In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of (a) the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, (b) the consolidated comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, (c) the consolidated financial position at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, (d) the consolidated changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and (e) the consolidated cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and



2021.  The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).



 



Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (2021 Form 10-K).



 



The December 31, 2021 financial position data included herein is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.   Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.



 



Cat Financial has end-user customers and dealers that are variable interest entities (VIEs) of which we are not the primary beneficiary. Our maximum exposure to loss from our involvement with these VIEs is limited to the credit risk inherently present in the financial support that we have provided. Credit risk was evaluated and reflected in our financial statements as part of our overall portfolio of finance receivables and related allowance for credit losses. See Note 11 for further discussions on a consolidated VIE.



 



2.          New accounting guidance



 



A.  Adoption of new accounting standards



 



We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. We adopted the following ASUs effective January 1, 2022, none of which had a material impact on our financial statements:



 



ASU            Description



2020-06       Debt with conversion and other options and derivatives and hedging



2021-05       Lessor - Variable lease payments



2021-10       Government assistance



 


 



 



B.  Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted



 



We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. We assessed the ASUs and determined that they either were not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.



 



3.          Sales and revenue contract information



 



Trade receivables represent amounts due from dealers and end users for the sale of our products, and include amounts due from wholesale inventory financing provided by Cat Financial for a dealer’s purchase of inventory.  We recognize trade receivables from dealers (including wholesale inventory financing)  and end users in Receivables trade and other and Long-term receivables trade and other in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Trade receivables from dealers and end users were $6,736 million, $7,267 million and $6,310 million as of September 30,



2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  Long-term trade receivables from dealers and end users  were  $448  million,  $624  million  and  $657  million  as  of  September  30,  2022,  December  31,  2021  and December 31, 2020, respectively.



 



We invoice in advance of recognizing the sale of certain products.  We recognize advanced customer payments as a contract liability in Customer advances and Other liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Contract liabilities were $2,290 million, $1,557 million and $1,526 million as of September 30, 2022, December 31,



2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  We reduce the contract liability when revenue is recognized.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $124 million and $781 million, respectively, of revenue that was recorded as a contract liability at the beginning of 2022.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $121 million and $795 million, respectively, of revenue that was recorded as a contract liability at the beginning of 2021.



 



As of September 30, 2022, we have entered into contracts with dealers and end users for which sales have not been recognized as we have not satisfied our performance obligations and transferred control of the products.  The dollar amount of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original duration greater than one year is $10.9 billion, with about one-half of the amount expected to be completed and revenue recognized in the twelve months following September 30, 2022.   We have elected the practical expedient not to disclose unsatisfied performance obligations with an original contract duration of one year or less.  Contracts with an original duration of one year or less are primarily sales to dealers for machinery, engines and replacement parts.



 



See Note 16 for further disaggregated sales and revenues information.



 



4.          Stock-based compensation



 



Accounting for stock-based compensation requires that the cost resulting from all stock-based payments be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award.  Our stock-based compensation consists of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs).



 



We recognized pretax stock-based compensation expense of $55 million and $162 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $58 million and $169 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.



 



The following table illustrates the type and fair value of the stock-based compensation awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

As of September 30, 2022, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock-based compensation awards was $173 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service periods of approximately 1.8 years.



 



5.           Derivative financial instruments and risk management



 



Our earnings and cash flow are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices.  Our Risk Management Policy (policy) allows for the use of derivative financial instruments to prudently manage foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate and commodity price exposures.  Our policy specifies that derivatives are not to be used for speculative purposes.  Derivatives that we use are primarily foreign currency forward, option and cross currency contracts, interest rate contracts and commodity forward and option contracts.  Our derivative activities are subject to the management, direction and control of our senior financial officers.  We present at least annually to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on our risk management practices, including our use of financial derivative instruments.



 



We recognize all derivatives at their fair value on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  On the date the derivative contract is entered into, we designate the derivative as (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flow (cash flow hedge) or (3) an undesignated instrument.   We record in current earnings changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged recognized asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk.  We record in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge, to the extent effective, on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position until we reclassify them to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  We report changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments in current earnings.  We classify cash flows from designated derivative financial instruments within the same category as the item being hedged on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.   We include cash flows from undesignated derivative financial instruments in the investing category on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.



 



We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk- management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions.   This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and linking cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions or variability of cash flow.



 



We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the designated derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items.  When a derivative is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge or the underlying hedged transaction is no longer probable, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively, in accordance with the derecognition criteria for hedge accounting.



 



Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk



 



Foreign currency exchange rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the U.S. dollar value of sales made and costs incurred in foreign currencies.  Movements in foreign currency rates also affect our competitive position as these changes may affect business practices and/or pricing strategies of non-U.S.-based competitors.  Additionally, we have balance sheet positions denominated in foreign currencies, thereby creating exposure to movements in exchange rates.



 


 



 



 



Our ME&T operations purchase, manufacture and sell products in many locations around the world.  As we have a diversified revenue and cost base, we manage our future foreign currency cash flow exposure on a net basis.  We use foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage unmatched foreign currency cash inflow and outflow.  Our objective is to minimize the risk of exchange rate movements that would reduce the U.S. dollar value of our foreign currency cash flow.  Our policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flow for up to approximately five  years.  As  of  September  30,  2022,  the  maximum  term  of  these  outstanding  contracts  at  inception  was approximately 60 months.



 



We generally designate as cash flow hedges at inception of the contract any foreign currency forward or option contracts that meet the requirements for hedge accounting and the maturity extends beyond the current quarter-end. We perform designation on a specific exposure basis to support hedge accounting.  The remainder of ME&T foreign currency contracts are undesignated.



 



In managing foreign currency risk for our Financial Products operations, our objective is to minimize earnings volatility resulting from conversion and the remeasurement of net foreign currency balance sheet positions and future transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  Our policy allows the use of foreign currency forward, option and cross currency contracts to offset the risk of currency mismatch between our assets and liabilities and exchange rate risk associated with future transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  Our foreign currency forward and option contracts are primarily undesignated.   We designate fixed-to-fixed cross currency contracts as cash flow hedges to protect against movements in exchange rates on foreign currency fixed-rate assets and liabilities.



 



Interest Rate Risk



 



Interest rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the amount of our interest payments and the value of our fixed-rate debt.  Our practice is to use interest rate contracts to manage our exposure to interest rate changes.



 



Our ME&T operations generally use fixed-rate debt as a source of funding.  Our objective is to minimize the cost of borrowed  funds.    Our  policy  allows  us  to  enter  into  fixed-to-floating  interest  rate  contracts  and  forward  rate agreements to meet that objective.   We designate fixed-to-floating interest rate contracts as fair value hedges at inception of the contract, and we designate certain forward rate agreements as cash flow hedges at inception of the contract.



 



Financial Products operations has a match-funding policy that addresses interest rate risk by aligning the interest rate profile (fixed or floating rate and duration) of Cat Financial’s debt portfolio with the interest rate profile of our receivables portfolio within predetermined ranges on an ongoing basis.  In connection with that policy, we use interest rate derivative instruments to modify the debt structure to match assets within the receivables portfolio.  This matched funding reduces the volatility of margins between interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities, regardless of which direction interest rates move.



 



Our policy allows us to use fixed-to-floating, floating-to-fixed and floating-to-floating interest rate contracts to meet the match-funding objective.  We designate fixed-to-floating interest rate contracts as fair value hedges to protect debt against changes in fair value due to changes in the benchmark interest rate.   We designate most floating-to-fixed interest rate contracts as cash flow hedges to protect against the variability of cash flows due to changes in the benchmark interest rate.



 



We have, at certain times, liquidated fixed-to-floating and floating-to-fixed interest rate contracts at both ME&T and Financial Products.   We amortize the gains or losses associated with these contracts at the time of liquidation into earnings over the original term of the previously designated hedged item.



 



Commodity Price Risk



 



Commodity price movements create a degree of risk by affecting the price we must pay for certain raw materials.  Our policy is to use commodity forward and option contracts to manage the commodity risk and reduce the cost of purchased materials.



 



Our  ME&T  operations  purchase  base  and  precious  metals  embedded  in  the  components  we  purchase  from suppliers.  Our suppliers pass on to us price changes in the commodity portion of the component cost.  In addition, we are subject to price changes on energy products such as natural gas and diesel fuel purchased for operational use.



 


 



 



 



Our objective  is  to  minimize  volatility  in  the  price  of  these  commodities.    Our  policy  allows  us  to  enter  into commodity forward and option contracts to lock in the purchase price of a portion of these commodities within a five- year horizon.  All such commodity forward and option contracts are undesignated.

We enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreements within ME&T and Financial Products that permit the net settlement of amounts owed under their respective derivative contracts.  Under these master netting agreements, net settlement generally permits the company or the counterparty to determine the net amount  payable  for  contracts  due  on  the  same  date  and  in  the  same  currency  for  similar  types  of  derivative transactions.  The master netting agreements may also provide for net settlement of all outstanding contracts with a counterparty in the case of an event of default or a termination event.



 



Collateral is typically not required of the counterparties or of our company under the master netting agreements.  As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no cash collateral was received or pledged under the master netting agreements.



 



The effect of the net settlement provisions of the master netting agreements on our derivative balances upon an event of default or termination event was as follows:

We have investments in certain debt and equity securities, which we record at fair value and primarily include in Other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.



 



We classify debt securities primarily as available-for-sale. We include the unrealized gains and losses arising from the revaluation of available-for-sale debt securities, net of applicable deferred income taxes, in equity (AOCI in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position).  We include the unrealized gains and losses arising from the revaluation of the equity securities in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.   We generally determine realized gains and losses on sales of investments using the specific identification method for available-for-sale debt and equity securities and include them in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.

1 Indicates the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.



 



The unrealized losses on our investments in government debt securities, corporate debt securities, and mortgage- backed debt securities relate to changes in interest rates and credit-related yield spreads since time of purchase.  We do not intend to sell the investments, and it is not likely that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their respective amortized cost basis. In addition, we did not expect credit-related losses on these investments as of September 30, 2022.



 


 



 



The cost basis and fair value of available-for-sale debt securities at September 30, 2022, by contractual maturity, are shown below.  Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay and creditors may have the right to call obligations.

2021 were $(97) million and $65 million, respectively.

We made $44 million and $299 million of contributions to our pension and other postretirement plans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.  We currently anticipate full-year 2022 contributions of approximately



$357 million.

The decrease in the U.S. defined contribution benefit costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to the fair value adjustments related to our non-qualified deferred compensation plans.

11.         Guarantees and product warranty



 



Caterpillar dealer performance guarantees



We have provided an indemnity to a third-party insurance company for potential losses related to performance bonds issued on behalf of Caterpillar dealers.  The bonds have varying terms and are issued to insure governmental agencies against nonperformance by certain dealers.  We also provided guarantees to third-parties related to the performance of contractual obligations by certain Caterpillar dealers.   These guarantees have varying terms and cover potential financial losses incurred by the third parties resulting from the dealers’ nonperformance.



 



In 2016, we provided a guarantee to an end user related to the performance of contractual obligations by a Caterpillar dealer.  Under the guarantee, which was set to expire in 2025, non-performance by the Caterpillar dealer could require Caterpillar to satisfy the contractual obligations by providing goods, services or financial compensation to the end user up to an annual designated cap. This guarantee was terminated during the first quarter of 2022. No payments were made under the guarantee.



 



Supplier consortium performance guarantee



We provided a guarantee to a customer in Europe related to the performance of contractual obligations by a supplier consortium to which one of our Caterpillar subsidiaries was a member.   The guarantee covered potential damages incurred by the customer resulting from the supplier consortium's non-performance.  The damages were capped except for failure of the consortium to meet certain obligations outlined in the contract in the normal course of business.  The guarantee expired during the second quarter of 2022.



 



We have dealer performance guarantees and third-party performance guarantees that do not limit potential payment to end users related to indemnities and other commercial contractual obligations.   In addition, we have entered into contracts involving industry standard indemnifications that do not limit potential payment.   For these unlimited guarantees, we are unable to estimate a maximum potential amount of future payments that could result from claims made.



 



No significant loss has been experienced or is anticipated under any of these guarantees.  At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the related recorded liability was $3 million and $5 million, respectively.  The maximum potential amount of future payments that we can estimate (undiscounted and without reduction for any amounts that may possibly be recovered under recourse or collateralized provisions) and we could be required to make under the guarantees was as follows:

Cat Financial provides guarantees to purchase certain loans of Caterpillar dealers from a special-purpose corporation (SPC) that qualifies as a variable interest entity.  The purpose of the SPC is to provide short-term working capital loans to Caterpillar dealers.  This SPC issues commercial paper and uses the proceeds to fund its loan program. Cat Financial receives a fee for providing this guarantee.  Cat Financial is the primary beneficiary of the SPC as its guarantees result in Cat Financial having both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPC’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, and therefore Cat Financial has consolidated the financial statements of the SPC.  As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the SPC’s assets of $1.09 billion and $888 million, respectively, were primarily comprised of loans to dealers, and the SPC’s liabilities of $1.09 billion and $888 million, respectively, were primarily comprised of commercial paper.   The assets of the SPC are not available to pay Cat Financial’s creditors.  Cat Financial may be obligated to perform under the guarantee if the SPC experiences losses. No loss has been experienced or is anticipated under this loan purchase agreement.



 



We determine our product warranty liability by applying historical claim rate experience to the current field population and dealer inventory.   Generally, we base historical claim rates on actual warranty experience for each product by machine model/engine size by customer or dealer location (inside or outside North America).  We develop specific rates for each product shipment month and update them monthly based on actual warranty claim experience.



 



The reconciliation of the change in our product warranty liability balances for the nine months ended September 30 was as follows:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we excluded 2.1 million and 1.1 million of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive.



 


 



 



For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 7.6 million and 17.0 million shares of Caterpillar common stock, respectively, at an aggregate cost of $1.4 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased 6.6 million and 7.8 million shares of Caterpillar common stock, respectively, at an aggregate cost of $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. We made these purchases through a combination of accelerated stock repurchase agreements with third-party financial institutions and open market transactions.



 



In July 2018, the Board approved a share repurchase authorization (the 2018 Authorization) of up to $10.0 billion of Caterpillar common stock effective January 1, 2019, with no expiration. In May 2022, the Board approved a new share repurchase authorization (the 2022 Authorization) of up to $15.0 billion of Caterpillar common stock effective August



1, 2022, with no expiration. Utilization of the 2022 Authorization for all share repurchases commenced on August 1,



2022, leaving approximately $70 million unutilized under the 2018 Authorization as of September 30, 2022. As  of



September 30, 2022, $13.7 billion remained available under the 2022 Authorization.

14.         Environmental and legal matters



 



The Company is regulated by federal, state and international environmental laws governing its use, transport and disposal of substances and control of emissions. In addition to governing our manufacturing and other operations, these laws often impact the development of our products, including, but not limited to, required compliance with air emissions standards applicable to internal combustion engines. We have made, and will continue to make, significant research and development and capital expenditures to comply with these emissions standards.



 



We are engaged in remedial activities at a number of locations, often with other companies, pursuant to federal and state laws. When it is probable we will pay remedial costs at a site, and those costs can be reasonably estimated,  we accrue the investigation, remediation, and operating and maintenance costs against our earnings. We accrue costs based on consideration of currently available data and information with respect to each individual site, including available technologies, current applicable laws and regulations, and prior remediation experience. Where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, we accrue the minimum. Where multiple potentially responsible parties are involved, we consider our proportionate share of the probable costs. In formulating the estimate of probable costs, we do not consider amounts expected to be recovered from insurance companies or others. We reassess these accrued amounts on a quarterly basis. The amount recorded for environmental remediation is not material and is included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. We believe there is no more than a remote chance that a material amount for remedial activities at any individual site, or at all the sites in the aggregate, will be required.



 



On January 7, 2015, the Company received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois. The subpoena requested documents and information from the Company relating to, among other things, financial information concerning U.S. and non-U.S. Caterpillar subsidiaries (including undistributed profits of non- U.S. subsidiaries and the movement of cash among U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries). The Company has received additional subpoenas relating to this investigation requesting additional documents and information relating to, among other things, the purchase and resale of replacement parts by Caterpillar Inc. and non-U.S. Caterpillar subsidiaries, dividend distributions of certain non-U.S. Caterpillar subsidiaries, and Caterpillar SARL (CSARL) and related structures.  On March 2-3, 2017, agents with the Department of Commerce, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Internal Revenue Service executed search and seizure warrants at three facilities of the Company in the Peoria, Illinois area, including its former corporate headquarters. The warrants identify, and agents seized, documents and information related to, among other things, the export of products from the United States, the movement of products between the United States and Switzerland, the relationship between Caterpillar Inc. and CSARL, and sales outside the United States. It is the Company’s understanding that the warrants, which concern both tax and export activities, are related to the ongoing grand jury investigation. The Company is continuing to cooperate with this investigation. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate any potential loss; however, we currently believe that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.



 



In addition, we are involved in other unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The most prevalent of these unresolved actions involve disputes related to product design, manufacture and performance liability (including claimed asbestos exposure), contracts, employment issues, environmental matters, intellectual property rights, taxes (other than income taxes) and securities laws. The aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal actions is not material. In some cases, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss because there is insufficient information regarding the matter. However, we believe there is no more than a remote chance that any liability arising from these matters would be material. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions, we believe that these actions will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.



 



15.         Income taxes



 



The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 23 percent, compared with 25 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, excluding the discrete items discussed below. The comparative tax rate for full-year 2021 was approximately 23 percent.



 


 



 



On September 8, 2022, the company reached a settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that resolves all issues for tax years 2007 through 2016, without any penalties. The company's settlement includes, among other issues, the resolution of disputed tax treatment of profits earned by Caterpillar SARL (CSARL) from certain parts transactions. We vigorously contested the IRS's application of the \"substance-over-form\" or \"assignment-of-income\" judicial doctrines and its proposed increases to tax and imposition of accuracy related penalties. The settlement does not include any increases to tax in the United States based on those judicial doctrines and does not include any penalties. The final tax assessed by the IRS for all issues under the settlement was $490 million for the ten-year period. This amount was primarily paid in the nine months ending September 30, 2022, and the associated estimated interest of $250 million is expected to be paid by the end of 2022. The settlement was within the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and enables us to avoid the costs and burdens of further disputes with the IRS. As a result of the settlement, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $41 million to reflect changes in estimates of prior years' taxes and related interest, net of tax. We are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the IRS, and tax years subsequent to 2016 are not yet under examination.



 



In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the company also recorded discrete tax benefits of $49 million to reflect other changes in estimates related to prior years' U.S. taxes, compared to $36 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, the company recorded a discrete tax benefit of $18 million for the settlement of stock-based compensation awards with associated tax deductions in excess of cumulative U.S. GAAP compensation expense, compared with a $61 million benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.



 



 



16.         Segment information



 



A.   Basis for segment information



 



Our Executive Office is comprised of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO), four Group Presidents, a Chief Financial Officer (CFO), a Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel and a Chief Human Resources Officer.   The Group Presidents and CFO are accountable for a related set of end-to-end businesses that they manage.   The Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel leads the Law, Security and Public Policy Division.  The Chief Human Resources Officer leads the Human Resources Organization.   The CEO allocates resources and manages performance at the Group President/CFO level.  As such, the CEO serves as our Chief Operating Decision Maker, and operating segments are primarily based on the Group President/CFO reporting structure.



 



Three of our operating segments, Construction Industries, Resource Industries and Energy & Transportation are led by Group Presidents.   One operating segment, Financial Products, is led by the CFO who also has responsibility for Corporate Services.  Corporate Services is a cost center primarily responsible for the performance of certain support functions globally and to provide centralized services; it does not meet the definition of an operating segment.  One Group President leads one smaller operating segment that is included in the All Other operating segment.  The Law, Security and Public Policy Division and the Human Resources Organization are cost centers and do not meet the definition of an operating segment.



 



Segment information for 2021 has been recast due to a methodology change related to how we assign intersegment sales and segment profit from our technology products and services to Construction Industries, Resource Industries and Energy & Transportation. This methodology change did not have a material impact on our segment results.

Responsibilities also include the remanufacturing of Caterpillar reciprocating engines and components and remanufacturing services for other companies; and product support of on-highway vocational trucks for North America.  Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.



 



Financial Products Segment:   Provides financing alternatives to customers and dealers around the world for Caterpillar products and services, as well as financing for vehicles, power generation facilities and marine vessels that, in most cases, incorporate Caterpillar products. Financing plans include operating and finance leases, installment sale contracts, repair/rebuild financing, working capital loans and wholesale financing plans. The segment also provides insurance and risk management products and services that help customers and dealers manage their business risk. Insurance and risk management products offered include physical damage insurance, inventory protection plans, extended service coverage and maintenance plans for machines and engines, and dealer property and casualty insurance. The various forms of financing, insurance and risk management products offered to customers and dealers help support the purchase and lease of Caterpillar equipment. The segment also earns revenues from ME&T, but the related costs are not allocated to operating segments. Financial Products’ segment profit is determined on a pretax basis and includes other income/expense items.



 



All Other operating segment:   Primarily includes activities such as: business strategy; product management and development; manufacturing and sourcing of filters and fluids, undercarriage, ground-engaging tools, fluid transfer products, precision seals, rubber sealing and connecting components primarily for Cat® products; parts distribution; integrated logistics solutions; distribution services responsible for dealer development and administration, including a wholly owned dealer in Japan; dealer portfolio management and ensuring the most efficient and effective distribution of machines, engines and parts; brand management and marketing strategy; and digital investments for new customer and dealer solutions that integrate data analytics with state-of-the-art digital technologies while transforming the buying experience.  Results for the All Other operating segment are included as a reconciling item between reportable segments and consolidated external reporting.



 



C.   Segment measurement and reconciliations



 



There are several methodology differences between our segment reporting and our external reporting.  The following is a list of the more significant methodology differences:



 



 ME&T  segment  net  assets  generally  include  inventories,  receivables,  property,  plant  and  equipment, goodwill, intangibles, accounts payable and customer advances.  We generally manage at the corporate level liabilities other than accounts payable and customer advances, and we do not include these in segment operations.  Financial Products Segment assets generally include all categories of assets.



 


 



 



             We value segment inventories and cost of sales using a current cost methodology.



 



 We amortize goodwill allocated to segments using a fixed amount based on a 20-year useful life.   This methodology difference only impacts segment assets. We do not include goodwill amortization expense in segment profit.  In addition, we have allocated to segments only a portion of goodwill for certain acquisitions made in 2011 or later.



 



 We generally manage currency exposures for ME&T at the corporate level and do not include in segment profit the effects of changes in exchange rates on results of operations within the year.  We report the net difference created in the translation of revenues and costs between exchange rates used for U.S. GAAP reporting and exchange rates used for segment reporting as a methodology difference.



 



             We do not include stock-based compensation expense in segment profit.



 



 Postretirement benefit expenses are split; segments are generally responsible for service costs, with the remaining elements of net periodic benefit cost included as a methodology difference.



 



 We determine ME&T segment profit on a pretax basis and exclude interest expense and most other income/ expense items.  We determine Financial Products Segment profit on a pretax basis and include other income/ expense items.



 



Reconciling items are created based on accounting differences between segment reporting and our consolidated external  reporting.  Please  refer  to  pages  30  to  33  for  financial  information  regarding  significant  reconciling items.   Most of our reconciling items are self-explanatory given the above explanations.   For the reconciliation of profit, we have grouped the reconciling items as follows:



 



 Corporate costs:   These costs are related to corporate requirements primarily for compliance and legal functions for the benefit of the entire organization.



 



 Restructuring costs:  May include costs for employee separation, long-lived asset impairments and contract terminations.  These costs are included in Other operating (income) expenses except for defined-benefit plan curtailment losses and special termination benefits, which are included in Other income (expense). Restructuring costs also include other exit-related costs, which may consist of accelerated depreciation, inventory write-downs, building demolition, equipment relocation and project management costs and LIFO inventory decrement benefits from inventory liquidations at closed facilities, all of which are primarily included in Cost of goods sold. See Note 20 for more information.



 



 Methodology differences:  See previous discussion of significant accounting differences between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.



 



 Timing:   Timing differences in the recognition of costs between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.  For example, we report certain costs on the cash basis for segment reporting and the accrual basis for consolidated external reporting.

17.         Cat Financial financing activities



 



Allowance for credit losses



 



Portfolio segments



A portfolio segment is the level at which Cat Financial develops a systematic methodology for determining its allowance for credit losses. Cat Financial's portfolio segments and related methods for estimating expected credit losses are as follows:



 



Customer



Cat Financial provides loans and finance leases to end-user customers primarily for the purpose of financing new and used Caterpillar machinery, engines and equipment for commercial use, the majority of which operate in construction- related industries. Cat Financial also provides financing for vehicles, power generation facilities and marine vessels that, in most cases, incorporate Caterpillar products. The average original term of Cat Financial's customer finance receivable portfolio was approximately 50 months with an average remaining term of approximately 26 months as of September 30, 2022.



 



Cat Financial typically maintains a security interest in financed equipment and requires physical damage insurance coverage on the financed equipment, both of which provide Cat Financial with certain rights and protections.  If Cat Financial's collection efforts fail to bring a defaulted account current, Cat Financial generally can repossess the financed equipment, after satisfying local legal requirements, and sell it within the Caterpillar dealer network or through third-party auctions.



 



Cat Financial estimates the allowance for credit losses related to its customer finance receivables based on loss forecast models utilizing probabilities of default and the estimated loss given default based on past loss experience adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts capturing country and industry-specific economic factors.



 



During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Cat Financial's forecasts for the markets in which it operates reflected a continuation of the trend of relatively low unemployment rates and delinquencies. However, high inflation rates and consequent central bank actions are weakening global economic growth.  The company believes the economic forecasts employed represent reasonable and supportable forecasts, followed by a reversion to long-term trends.



 



Dealer



Cat Financial provides financing to Caterpillar dealers in the form of wholesale financing plans. Cat Financial's wholesale financing plans provide assistance to dealers by financing their mostly new Caterpillar equipment inventory and rental fleets on a secured and unsecured basis. In addition, Cat Financial provides a variety of secured and unsecured loans to Caterpillar dealers.



 


 



 



 



Cat Financial estimates the allowance for credit losses for dealer finance receivables based on historical loss rates with consideration of current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.



 



In general, Cat Financial's Dealer portfolio segment has not historically experienced large increases or decreases in credit losses based on changes in economic conditions due to its close working relationships with the dealers and their financial strength. Therefore, Cat Financial made no adjustments to historical loss rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.



 



Classes of finance receivables



Cat Financial further evaluates portfolio segments by the class of finance receivables, which is defined as a level of information (below a portfolio segment) in which the finance receivables have the same initial measurement attribute and a similar method for assessing and monitoring credit risk.  Cat Financial's classes, which align with management reporting for credit losses, are as follows:



 



 



         North America - Finance receivables originated in the United States and Canada.



         EAME - Finance receivables originated in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Commonwealth of



Independent States.



         Asia/Pacific - Finance receivables originated in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Southeast Asia and



India.



         Mining - Finance receivables related to large mining customers worldwide.



         Latin America - Finance receivables originated in Mexico and Central and South American countries.



 Caterpillar  Power  Finance  -  Finance  receivables  originated  worldwide  related  to  marine  vessels  with Caterpillar engines and Caterpillar electrical power generation, gas compression and co-generation systems and non-Caterpillar equipment that is powered by these systems.



 



Receivable balances, including accrued interest, are written off against the allowance for credit losses when, in the judgment of management, they are considered uncollectible (generally upon repossession of the collateral). The amount of the write-off is determined by comparing the fair value of the collateral, less cost to sell, to the amortized cost. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses when received.



 



An analysis of the allowance for credit losses was as follows:

Credit quality of finance receivables



At origination, Cat Financial evaluates credit risk based on a variety of credit quality factors including prior payment experience, customer financial information, credit ratings, loan-to-value ratios, probabilities of default,   industry trends, macroeconomic factors and other internal metrics. On an ongoing basis, Cat Financial monitors credit quality based on past-due status as there is a meaningful correlation between the past-due status of customers and the risk of loss.  In  determining  past-due  status,  Cat  Financial  considers  the  entire  finance  receivable  past  due  when  any installment is over 30 days past due.

Finance receivables in the Customer portfolio segment are substantially secured by collateral, primarily in the form of Caterpillar and other machinery. For those contracts where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, repayment of the outstanding amounts is generally expected to be provided through the operation or repossession and sale of the machinery.



 


 



 



Dealer



 



As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Cat Financial's total amortized cost of finance receivables within the Dealer portfolio segment was current, with the exception of $58 million and $78 million, respectively, that were



91+ days past due in Latin America, all of which were originated in 2017.



 



 



Non-accrual finance receivables



 



Recognition of income is suspended and the finance receivable is placed on non-accrual status when management determines that collection of future income is not probable. Contracts on non-accrual status are generally more than



120 days past due or have been restructured in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). Recognition is resumed and previously suspended income is recognized when collection is considered probable. Payments received while the finance receivable is on non-accrual status are applied to interest and principal in accordance with the contractual terms.  Interest earned but uncollected prior to the receivable being placed on non-accrual status is written off through Provision for credit losses when, in the judgment of management, it is considered uncollectible.



 



In Cat Financial's Customer portfolio segment, finance receivables which were on non-accrual status and finance receivables over 90 days past due and still accruing income were as follows:

There was $2 million and  $1 million of interest income recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for customer finance receivables on non-accrual status.  There was $11 million and $9 million of interest income recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for customer finance receivables on non-accrual status.



 



As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, finance receivables in Cat Financial's Dealer portfolio segment on non-accrual status were $58 million and $78 million, respectively, all of which was in Latin America.  There were no finance receivables in Cat Financial's Dealer portfolio segment more than 90 days past due and still accruing income as of September 30, 2022  and December 31, 2021 and no interest income was recognized on dealer finance receivables on non-accrual status during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.



 



 



Troubled debt restructurings



 



A restructuring of a finance receivable constitutes a TDR when the lender grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties.   Concessions granted may include extended contract maturities, inclusion of interest only periods, below market interest rates, payment deferrals and reduction of principal and/or accrued interest.  Cat Financial individually evaluates TDR contracts and establishes an allowance based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivable's effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent receivables or the observable market price of the receivable.



 


 



 



There were no finance receivables modified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and



2021 for the Dealer portfolio segment.  Cat Financial’s finance receivables in the Customer portfolio segment modified as TDRs were as follows:

18.         Fair value disclosures



 



A.  Fair value measurements



 



The guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  This guidance also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques.  Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from   independent   sources,   while   unobservable   inputs   (lowest   level)   reflect   internally   developed   market assumptions.  In accordance with this guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:



 



         Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.



 



 Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.



 



 Level 3 Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.



 



When available, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value, and we classify such measurements within Level



1.  In some cases where market prices are not available, we make use of observable market based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.  If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon valuations in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, yield curves and currency rates.  These measurements are classified within Level 3.



 



We classify fair value measurements according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation.  We may therefore classify a measurement within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.



 



Fair value measurement includes the consideration of nonperformance risk.  Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty or Caterpillar) will not be fulfilled.   For financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1 and certain Level 2), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price.   For certain other financial assets and liabilities (certain Level 2 and Level 3), our fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly.



 



Investments in debt and equity securities



We have investments in certain debt and equity securities that are recorded at fair value.   Fair values for our U.S. treasury bonds and large capitalization value and smaller company growth equity securities are based upon valuations for identical instruments in active markets.  Fair values for other government debt securities, corporate debt securities and mortgage-backed debt securities are based upon models that take into consideration such market-based factors as recent sales, risk-free yield curves and prices of similarly rated bonds.



 



We also have investments in time deposits classified as held-to-maturity debt securities. The fair value of these investments is based upon valuations observed in less active markets than Level 1.  These investments have a maturity of less than one year and are recorded at amortized costs, which approximate fair value.



 



In addition, Insurance Services has an equity investment in a real estate investment trust (REIT) which is recorded at fair value based on the net asset value (NAV) of the investment and is not classified within the fair value hierarchy.



See Note 8 for additional information on our investments in debt and equity securities. Derivative financial instruments



The fair value of interest rate contracts is primarily based on a standard industry accepted valuation model that utilizes



the  appropriate  market-based  forward  swap  curves  and  zero-coupon  interest  rates  to  determine  discounted  cash flows.  The fair value of foreign currency and commodity forward, option and cross currency contracts is based on standard industry accepted valuation models that discount cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.



 


 



 



See Note 5 for additional information.

In  addition  to  the  amounts  above,  certain  Cat  Financial  loans  are  subject  to  measurement  at  fair  value  on  a nonrecurring basis and are classified as Level 3 measurements.  A loan is measured at fair value when management determines that collection of contractual amounts due is not probable and the loan is individually evaluated.  In these cases, an allowance for credit losses may be established based either on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivables’ effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent receivables, or the observable market price of the receivable.  In determining collateral value, Cat Financial estimates the current fair market value of the collateral less selling costs.  Cat Financial had loans carried at fair value of $90 million and



$100 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.



 



B.  Fair values of financial instruments



 



In addition to the methods and assumptions we use to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the Fair value measurements section above, we use the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments:



 



Cash and cash equivalents



Carrying amount approximates fair value. We classify cash and cash equivalents as Level 1. See Consolidated



Statement of Financial Position.



 



Restricted cash and short-term investments



Carrying amount approximates fair value.  We include restricted cash and short-term investments in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. We classify these instruments as Level 1 except for time deposits which are Level 2, and certain corporate debt securities which are Level 3. See Note 8 for additional information.



 



Finance receivables



We estimate fair value by discounting the future cash flows using current rates, representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.



 


 



 



 



Wholesale inventory receivables



We estimate fair value by discounting the future cash flows using current rates, representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.



 



Short-term borrowings



Carrying amount approximates fair value.  We classify short-term borrowings as Level 1. See Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.



 



Long-term debt



We estimate fair value for fixed and floating rate debt based on quoted market prices.



 



Guarantees



The fair value of guarantees is based upon our estimate of the premium a market participant would require to issue the same guarantee in a stand-alone arms-length transaction with an unrelated party.  If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that utilize current market-based assumptions. We classify guarantees as Level 3. See Note 11 for additional information.

20.         Restructuring costs



 



Our accounting for employee separations is dependent upon how the particular program is designed.  For voluntary programs, we recognize eligible separation costs at the time of employee acceptance unless the acceptance requires explicit approval by the company.   For involuntary programs, we recognize eligible costs when management has approved the program, the affected employees have been properly notified and the costs are estimable.



 



Restructuring costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

For both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the restructuring costs were primarily related to actions across the company including strategic actions to address a small number of products.



 



In 2022 and 2021, all restructuring costs are excluded from segment profit.



 



The following table summarizes the 2022 and 2021 employee separation activity:

Overview



 



Total sales and revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $14.994 billion, an increase of $2.597 billion, or 21 percent, compared with $12.397 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts primarily related to the euro, Japanese yen and Australian dollar. The increase in sales volume was driven by the impact from changes in dealer inventories, higher sales of equipment to end users and higher services. Dealers increased inventories by $700 million during the third quarter of 2022, compared with a decrease of $300 million during the third quarter of 2021. Sales were higher across the three primary segments.



 



Third-quarter 2022 profit per share was $3.87, compared with $2.60 profit per share in the third quarter of 2021. Profit per share for both quarters included restructuring costs. Profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.041 billion, an increase of $615 million, or 43%, compared with $1.426 billion for the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) expenses. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. SG&A/R&D expenses increased primarily due to investments aligned with the company's strategy for profitable growth and higher short-term incentive compensation expense.



 


 



 



Global Business Conditions:



We continue to monitor a variety of external factors around the world, such as supply chain disruptions, inflationary cost and labor pressures. Areas of particular focus include certain components, transportation and raw materials. Transportation shortages have resulted in delays and increased costs. In addition, our suppliers are dealing with availability issues and freight delays, which leads to pressure on production in our facilities. Contingency plans have been developed and continue to be modified to minimize supply chain challenges that may impact our ability to meet increasing customer demand. We continue to assess the environment and are taking appropriate price actions in response to rising costs. We will continue to monitor the situation as conditions remain fluid and evolve throughout the year.  We address these external factors throughout the



discussion in the Consolidated Results of Operations section below.

Consolidated Results of Operations



 



THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021



 



CONSOLIDATED SALES AND REVENUES



 



The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated sales and revenues between the third quarter of 2021 (at left) and the third quarter of 2022 (at right). Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees.



 



Total sales and revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $14.994 billion, an increase of $2.597 billion, or 21 percent, compared with $12.397 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts primarily related to the euro, Japanese yen and Australian dollar. The increase in sales volume was driven by the impact from changes in dealer inventories, higher sales of equipment to end users and higher services. Dealers increased inventories by $700 million during the third quarter of 2022, compared with a decrease of $300 million during the third quarter of 2021.



 



Sales were higher across the three primary segments.



 



North America sales increased 33 percent due to favorable price realization, the impact from changes in dealer inventories, services and higher sales of equipment to end users. Dealers increased inventories during the third quarter of 2022, compared with a decrease during the third quarter of 2021.



 



Sales increased 36 percent in Latin America due to favorable price realization, higher sales of equipment to end users and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealers increased inventories during the third quarter of 2022, compared with remaining about flat during the third quarter of 2021.



 



EAME sales increased 8 percent as unfavorable currency impacts, primarily related to the euro and British pound, were more than offset by favorable price realization, the impact from changes in dealer inventories and higher sales of equipment to end users. Dealers increased inventories during the third quarter of 2022, compared with remaining about flat during the third quarter of 2021.



 



Asia/Pacific sales increased 9 percent driven by favorable price realization and the impact from changes in dealer inventories, partially  offset  by  unfavorable  currency  impacts,  related  to  the  Japanese  yen  and  Australian  dollar.  Dealers  increased inventories during the third quarter of 2022, compared with a decrease during the third quarter of 2021.



 



Dealers increased inventories by $700 million during the third quarter of 2022, compared with a decrease of $300 million



during the third quarter of 2021. Most of the increase related to timing differences between when we ship product to dealers and when the dealers, in turn, are able to deliver completed orders to customers. Dealers are independent, and the reasons for changes in their inventory levels vary, including their expectations of future demand and product delivery times. Dealers’ demand expectations take into account seasonal changes, macroeconomic conditions, machine rentals and other factors.



Delivery times can vary based on availability of product from Caterpillar factories and product distribution centers. At year end, we expect dealer inventory levels to be similar to the third quarter of 2022.



 


 



 



Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, we expect higher sales to users and price realization to support the sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2022. We anticipate the fourth quarter will reflect our highest quarterly sales for the year, which is in line with typical seasonality.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING PROFIT



 



The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated operating profit between the third quarter of 2021 (at left) and the third quarter of



2022 (at right). Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees. The bar titled Other includes consolidating adjustments and Machinery, Energy & Transportation's other operating (income) expenses.



 



Operating profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.425 billion, an increase of $761 million, or 46 percent, compared with



$1.664 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies, due to ongoing disruptions to the supply chain. SG&A/R&D expenses increased primarily due to investments aligned with the company's strategy for profitable growth, which included services growth and technology, such as digital, electrification and autonomy, as well as higher short- term incentive compensation expense.



 



Short-term incentive compensation expense was about $400 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to about $350 million in the third quarter of 2021.



 



Operating profit margin was 16.2 percent for the third quarter of 2022, compared with 13.4 percent for the third quarter of



2021.



 



We expect higher sales volume and continued favorable price realization in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with the fourth quarter of 2021. We anticipate the impact of favorable price realization to more than offset manufacturing cost increases, including manufacturing inefficiencies.

Corporate Items and Eliminations included corporate-level expenses, timing differences (as some expenses are reported in segment profit on a cash basis), methodology differences between segment and consolidated external reporting (the company values segment inventories and cost of sales using a current cost methodology), certain restructuring costs and inter-segment eliminations.



 


 



 



Other Profit/Loss and Tax Items



 



 Interest expense excluding Financial Products in the third quarter of 2022 was $109 million, compared with $114 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was due to lower average debt outstanding during the third quarter of 2022, compared with the third quarter of 2021.



 



 Other income (expense) in the third quarter of 2022 was income of $242 million, compared with income of $225 million in the third quarter of 2021. The change was primarily driven by favorable impacts from foreign currency exchange and higher investment and interest income, partially offset by lower gains on marketable securities and lower pension and other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plan income.



 



 The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2022 reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 23 percent, compared with 25 percent for the third quarter of 2021, excluding the discrete items discussed below. The comparative tax rate for full-year 2021 was approximately 23 percent.



 



In the third quarter of 2022, the company reached a settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that resolves all issues for tax years 2007 through 2016, without any penalties. The company’s settlement includes, among other issues, the resolution of disputed tax treatment of profits earned by Caterpillar SARL (CSARL) from certain parts transactions. We vigorously contested the IRS’s application of the “substance-over-form” or “assignment-of-income” judicial doctrines and its proposed increases to tax and imposition of accuracy related penalties. The settlement does not include any increases to tax in the United States based on those judicial doctrines and does not include any penalties. The final tax assessed by the IRS for all issues under the settlement was $490 million for the ten-year period. This amount was primarily paid in the third quarter of 2022, and the associated estimated interest of $250 million is expected to be paid by the end of 2022. The settlement was within the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and enables us to avoid the costs and burdens of further disputes with the IRS. As a result of the settlement, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $41 million to reflect changes in estimates of prior years’ taxes and related interest, net of tax. We are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the IRS, and tax years subsequent to 2016 are not yet under examination.



 



The provision for income taxes in third quarter of 2022 also included a $20 million benefit due to a decrease in the estimated annual tax rate, compared to $39 million in the third quarter of 2021.  The company also recorded a discrete tax benefit of $36 million to reflect changes in estimates related to the prior year’s U.S. taxes in the third quarter of 2021.



 



Construction Industries



 



Construction Industries’ total sales were $6.276 billion in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.021 billion, or 19 percent, compared with $5.255 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts primarily related to the euro, Japanese yen and Australian dollar. The increase in sales volume was driven by the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealer inventory increased during the third quarter of 2022, compared with a decrease during the third quarter of 2021.



 



 In North America, sales increased due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume. Higher sales volume was driven by the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealer inventory decreased during the third quarter of 2021, compared with an increase during the third quarter of 2022. Dealer inventories in North America remained at relatively low levels.



 



 Sales increased in Latin America primarily due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization. Higher sales volume was driven by higher sales of equipment to end users and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealer inventory increased more during the third quarter of 2022 than during the third quarter of 2021.



 



 In EAME, sales were about flat. Unfavorable currency impacts, primarily related to the euro, were offset by favorable price realization.



 



 Sales were about flat in Asia/Pacific. Favorable price realization was offset by unfavorable currency impacts, primarily related to the Japanese yen and Australian dollar.



 



Construction Industries’ profit was $1.209 billion in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $343 million, or 40 percent, compared with $866 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. The increase in SG&A/R&D expenses was primarily driven by investments aligned with strategic initiatives and higher short-term incentive compensation expense.



 



Construction Industries’ profit as a percent of total sales was 19.3 percent in the third quarter of 2022, compared with 16.5 percent in the third quarter of 2021.



 


 



 



Construction Industries’ segment profit as a percent of total sales is expected to improve in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. We expect North America residential construction to moderate due to tightening financial  conditions  but  remain  at  relatively  high  levels.  We  expect  non-residential  construction  to  strengthen  due  to investments related to government infrastructure initiatives. In Asia Pacific, excluding China, we expect moderate growth due to higher infrastructure spending and commodity prices. We expect continued weakness in China in the above 10-ton excavator industry. In EAME, business activity is expected to be flat to slightly down versus last year based on uncertain economic conditions in Europe. Construction activity in Latin America is expected to grow due to supportive commodity prices. We also expect favorable price realization in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The favorable impact of price realization is expected to more than offset manufacturing cost increases in the fourth quarter of 2022.



 



Resource Industries



 



Resource Industries’ total sales were $3.087 billion in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $721 million, or 30 percent, compared with $2.366 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume. The increase in sales volume was due to the impact of changes in dealer inventories, higher sales of aftermarket parts and higher sales of equipment to end users. Dealer inventory decreased during the third quarter of 2021, compared with an increase during the third quarter of 2022.



 



Resource Industries’ profit was $506 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $226 million, or 81 percent, compared with $280 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. The increase in SG&A/ R&D expenses was primarily driven by investments aligned with strategic initiatives.



 



Resource Industries’ profit as a percent of total sales was 16.4 percent in the third quarter of 2022, compared with 11.8 percent in the third quarter of 2021.



 



Resource Industries’ segment profit as a percent of total sales is expected to improve in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Commodity prices remain supportive of continued investment. We expect production and utilization levels will remain elevated, and our autonomous solutions continue to gain momentum. We expect the continuation of high equipment utilization and a low level of parked trucks, which both support future demand for our equipment and services. In Heavy Construction and Quarry and Aggregates, we anticipate continued growth in the fourth quarter. We also expect price realization to be favorable in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The favorable impact from price realization is expected to more than offset manufacturing cost increases in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Energy & Transportation’s total sales were $6.186 billion in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.109 billion, or 22 percent, compared with $5.077 billion in the third quarter of 2021. Sales increased across all applications and inter-segment sales. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts.



 



 Oil and Gas Sales increased due to higher sales of reciprocating engine aftermarket parts and engines used in gas compression and well servicing applications. Turbines and turbine-related services were about flat.



 



 Power Generation Sales increased in large reciprocating engines, primarily data center applications, and small reciprocating engines. Turbines and turbine-related services increased as well.



 



     Industrial – Sales were up across all regions.



 


 



 



 Transportation Sales increased in reciprocating engine aftermarket parts and marine applications. International locomotive deliveries were also higher.



 



Energy & Transportation’s profit was $935 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $229 million, or 32 percent, compared with $706 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. The increase in SG&A/ R&D expenses was primarily driven by investments aligned with strategic initiatives, including electrification and services growth, higher labor-related costs and higher short-term incentive compensation expense.



 



Energy & Transportation’s profit as a percent of total sales was 15.1 percent in the third quarter of 2022, compared with 13.9 percent in the third quarter of 2021.



 



Energy & Transportation's segment profit as a percent of total sales is expected to improve in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. In Oil & Gas, we are encouraged by continued strength in reciprocating engine orders, especially for large engine repowers as asset utilization increases. New equipment orders for turbine and turbine–related services strengthened significantly, particularly in Oil & Gas. Power Generation orders remain healthy due to positive industry dynamics and continued data center strength. Industrial remains healthy with continued momentum in construction, agriculture and electric power. We also anticipate growth in high-speed marine as customers continue to upgrade aging fleets. We also expect favorable price realization in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The favorable impact from price realization is expected to more than offset manufacturing cost increases in the fourth quarter of 2022.



 



Financial Products Segment



 



Financial Products’ segment revenues were $819 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $57 million, or 7 percent, compared with $762 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher average financing rates in North America and Latin America.



 



Financial Products’ segment profit was $220 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $47 million, or 27 percent, compared with $173 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly due to a favorable impact from a lower provision for credit losses at Cat Financial, partially offset by mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts.



 



At the end of the third quarter of 2022, past dues at Cat Financial were 2.00 percent, compared with 2.41 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2021. Past dues decreased across all our portfolio segments, with the exception of an increase in Latin America. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $13 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared with $76 million for the third quarter of 2021. As of September 30, 2022, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled $339 million, or 1.30 percent of finance receivables, compared with $376 million, or 1.41 percent of finance receivables, at June 30, 2022. The allowance for credit losses at year-end 2021 was $337 million, or 1.22 percent of finance receivables.



 



Corporate Items and Eliminations



 



Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $343 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $50 million from the third quarter of 2021, primarily driven by increased expenses due to timing differences, partially offset by favorable impacts of segment reporting methodology differences and lower corporate costs.

CONSOLIDATED SALES AND REVENUES



 



The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated sales and revenues between the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (at left) and the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (at right). Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees.



 



Total sales and revenues were $42.830 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $5.657 billion, or



15 percent, compared with $37.173 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts related to the euro, Australian dollar and Japanese yen. The increase in sales volume was driven by the impact from changes in dealer inventories, services and higher sales of equipment to end users. Dealers increased inventories about $1.6 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with remaining about flat during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.



 



Sales were higher in the three primary segments.



 



North America sales increased 26 percent driven by favorable price realization, the impact from changes in dealer inventories, services and higher sales of equipment to end users. Dealers decreased inventories during the nine months ended September 30,



2021, compared with an increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.



 



Sales increased 30 percent in Latin America due to favorable price realization, higher sales of equipment to end users and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealers increased inventories more during the nine months ended September 30,



2022, than during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.



 



EAME sales increased 6 percent due to favorable price realization, higher sales of equipment to end users and the impact from changes in dealer inventories, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts related to the euro and British pound. Dealers increased inventories more during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, than during the nine months ended September



30, 2021.



 



Asia/Pacific sales increased 3 percent driven by favorable price realization, services and the impact from changes in dealer inventories, partially offset by lower sales of equipment to end users and unfavorable currency impacts related to the Australian dollar and Japanese yen. Dealers increased inventories during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with a decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.



 



Dealers increased inventories about $1.6 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with remaining about flat during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Dealers are independent, and the reasons for changes in their inventory levels vary, including their expectations of future demand and product delivery times. Dealers’ demand expectations take into account seasonal changes, macroeconomic conditions, machine rentals and other factors. Delivery times can vary based on availability of product from Caterpillar factories and product distribution centers.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING PROFIT



 



The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated operating profit between the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (at left) and the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (at right). Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees. The bar titled Other includes consolidating adjustments and Machinery, Energy & Transportation’s other operating (income) expenses.



 



Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $6.224 billion, an increase of $957 million, or 18 percent, compared with $5.267 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses.



 



Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. For 2022, price realization is expected to more than offset manufacturing cost increases. The increase in SG&A/R&D expenses was driven by investments aligned with the company's strategy for profitable growth, which included services growth and technology, such as digital, electrification and autonomy, as well as higher short-term incentive compensation expense.



 



Short-term incentive compensation expense is directly related to financial and operational performance, measured against targets set annually. Expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was about $1.2 billion, compared with about $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For 2022, short-term incentive compensation expense is expected to be about $1.6 billion, compared with $1.3 billion in 2021.



 



Operating profit margin was 14.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with 14.2 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Other Profit/Loss and Tax Items



 



 Interest expense excluding Financial Products for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $326 million, compared with $376 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was due to lower average debt outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2021.



 



 Other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was income of $755 million, about flat compared with income of $751 million for the nine months September 30, 2021. Favorable impacts from foreign currency exchange were offset by unrealized losses on marketable securities and lower pension and OPEB income.



 



 The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 23 percent, compared with 25 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, excluding the discrete items discussed below. The comparative tax rate for full-year 2021 was approximately 23 percent.



 



On September 8, 2022, the company reached a settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that resolves all issues for tax years 2007 through 2016, without any penalties. The company’s settlement includes, among other issues, the resolution of disputed tax treatment of profits earned by Caterpillar SARL (CSARL) from certain parts transactions. We vigorously contested the IRS’s application of the “substance-over-form” or “assignment-of-income” judicial doctrines and its proposed increases to tax and imposition of accuracy related penalties. The settlement does not include any increases to tax in the United States based on those judicial doctrines and does not include any penalties.  The final tax assessed by the IRS for all issues under the settlement was $490 million for the ten-year period.  This amount was primarily paid in the nine months ending September 30, 2022, and the associated estimated interest of $250 million is expected to be paid by the end of 2022.  The settlement was within the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and enables us to avoid the costs and burdens of further disputes with the IRS. As a result of the settlement, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $41 million to reflect changes in estimates of prior years’ taxes and related interest, net of tax. We are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the IRS, and tax years subsequent to 2016 are not yet under examination.



 



In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the company also recorded discrete tax benefits of $49 million to reflect other changes in estimates related to prior years’ U.S. taxes, compared to $36 million in the nine months ended September



30, 2021.   In addition, the company recorded a discrete tax benefit of $18 million for the settlement of stock-based compensation awards with associated tax deductions in excess of cumulative U.S. GAAP compensation expense, compared with a $61 million benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.



 



Construction Industries



 



Construction Industries’ total sales were $18.424 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $2.054 billion, or 13 percent, compared with $16.370 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts related to the euro, Japanese yen and Australian dollar. The increase in sales volume was driven by the impact from changes in dealer inventories and higher sales of aftermarket parts, partially offset by lower sales of equipment to end users. Dealers increased inventories more during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, than during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.



 



 In North America, sales increased due to favorable price realization, the impact from changes in dealer inventories, higher sales of aftermarket parts and higher sales of equipment to end users. Dealers decreased inventories during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with an increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.



 



 Sales  increased  in  Latin  America  primarily  due  to  higher  sales  of  equipment  to  end  users  and  favorable  price realization.



 



 In EAME, sales increased as unfavorable currency impacts related to the euro were more than offset by favorable price realization and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealers increased inventories more during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, than during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.



 



 Sales decreased in Asia/Pacific due to lower sales of equipment to end users and unfavorable currency impacts related to the Japanese yen and Australian dollar, partially offset by favorable price realization and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealers increased inventories during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with a decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.



 


 



 



Construction Industries’ profit was $3.255 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $318 million, or 11 percent, compared with $2.937 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/ R&D expenses. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. The increase in SG&A/R&D expenses was primarily driven by investments aligned with strategic initiatives and higher short-term incentive compensation expense.



 



Construction Industries’ profit as a percent of total sales was 17.7 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with 17.9 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.



 



Resource Industries



 



Resource Industries’ total sales were $8.878 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $1.787 billion, or 25 percent, compared with $7.091 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization. The increase in sales volume was driven by higher sales of aftermarket parts, the impact from changes in dealer inventories and higher sales of equipment to end users. Dealer inventory increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with a decrease during the nine months ended September 30,



2021.



 



Resource Industries’ profit was $1.222 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $281 million, or



30 percent, compared with $941 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher SG&A/R&D expenses were more than offset by favorable price realization and higher sales volume. Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected higher material costs, freight and the impact of manufacturing inefficiencies. The increase in SG&A/R&D expenses was primarily driven by investments aligned with strategic initiatives.



 



Resource Industries’ profit as a percent of total sales was 13.8 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with 13.3 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The increase was primarily due to a favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment in North America and higher average financing rates in Latin America.



 



Financial Products’ segment profit was $675 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $15 million, or 2 percent, compared with $660 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to a favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment and lower provision for credit losses at Cat Financial, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from equity securities in Insurance Services and an increase in SG&A expenses.



 



Corporate Items and Eliminations



 



Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $817 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of



$345 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily driven by favorable impacts of segment reporting methodology, a favorable change in fair value adjustments related to deferred compensation plans and lower expenses due to timing differences, partially offset by higher corporate costs.



 



RESTRUCTURING COSTS



 



In 2022, we expect to incur about $800 million of restructuring costs primarily related to strategic actions to address a small number of products.  Approximately $600 million of the total is a non-cash charge related to the release of accumulated foreign currency translation losses that will be recognized upon the sale of a business containing some of these products, which may not occur until 2023. We expect that prior restructuring actions will result in an incremental benefit to operating costs, primarily Cost of goods sold and SG&A expenses of about $75 million in 2022 compared with 2021.



 



Additional information related to restructuring costs is included in Note 20 - \"Restructuring Costs\" of Part I, Item 1 \"Financial



Statements\".

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



 



Sources of funds



 



We generate significant capital resources from operating activities, which are the primary source of funding for our ME&T operations. Funding for these businesses is also available from commercial paper and long-term debt issuances. Financial Products’ operations are funded primarily from commercial paper, term debt issuances and collections from its existing portfolio. On a consolidated basis, we had positive operating cash flow in the first nine months of 2022 and ended the third quarter with $6.35 billion of cash, a decrease of $2.91 billion from year-end 2021. In addition, ME&T has invested in available- for-sale debt securities that are considered highly liquid and are available for current operations. These securities are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and were $982 million at the end of September 30, 2022.  We intend to maintain a strong cash and liquidity position.



 



Consolidated operating cash flow for the first nine months of 2022 was $5.03 billion, down $759 million compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to payments for short-term incentive compensation in the first quarter of



2022 as well as higher cash taxes paid which includes payments related to settlements with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Partially offsetting these items was higher profit adjusted for non-cash items during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period last year.



 



Total debt as of September 30, 2022 was $36.53 billion, a decrease of $1.26 billion from year-end 2021. Debt related to ME&T



decreased $192 million in the first nine months of 2022 while debt related to Financial Products decreased $1.07 billion.



 



As of September 30, 2022, we had three global credit facilities with a syndicate of banks totaling $10.50 billion (Credit Facility) available in the aggregate to both Caterpillar and Cat Financial for general liquidity purposes. Based on management’s allocation decision, which can be revised from time to time, the portion of the Credit Facility available to ME&T as of September 30, 2022 was $2.75 billion. Information on our Credit Facility is as follows:



 



 In September 2022, we entered into a new 364-day facility. The 364-day facility of $3.15 billion (of which $825 million is available to ME&T) expires in August 2023.



 



 In  September  2022,  we  amended  and  restated  the  three-year  facility  (as  amended  and  restated,  the  \"three-year facility\"). The three-year facility of $2.73 billion (of which $715 million is available to ME&T) expires in August



2025.



 



     In September 2022, we amended and restated the five-year facility (as amended and restated, the \"five-year facility\").



The five-year facility of $4.62 billion (of which $1.21 billion is available to ME&T) expires in September 2027.



 



At September 30, 2022, Caterpillar’s consolidated net worth was $15.69 billion, which was above the $9.00 billion required under the Credit Facility. The consolidated net worth is defined in the Credit Facility as the consolidated shareholders’ equity including preferred stock but excluding the pension and other postretirement benefits balance within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).



 



At September 30, 2022, Cat Financial’s covenant interest coverage ratio was 2.59 to 1. This was above the 1.15 to 1 minimum ratio calculated as (1) profit excluding income taxes, interest expense and net gain (loss) from interest rate derivatives to (2) interest expense calculated at the end of each calendar quarter for the rolling four quarter period then most recently ended, required by the Credit Facility.



 



In addition, at September 30, 2022, Cat Financial’s six-month covenant leverage ratio was 7.03 to 1. This was below the maximum ratio of debt to net worth of 10 to 1, calculated (1) on a monthly basis as the average of the leverage ratios determined on the last day of each of the six preceding calendar months and (2) at each December 31, required by the Credit Facility.



 



In the event Caterpillar or Cat Financial does not meet one or more of their respective financial covenants under the Credit Facility in the future (and are unable to obtain a consent or waiver), the syndicate of banks may terminate the commitments allocated to the party that does not meet its covenants. Additionally, in such event, certain of Cat Financial’s other lenders under other loan agreements where similar financial covenants or cross default provisions are applicable may, at their election, choose to  pursue  remedies  under  those  loan  agreements,  including  accelerating  the  repayment  of  outstanding  borrowings.  At September 30, 2022, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

The other external consolidated credit lines with banks as of September 30, 2022 totaled $3.35 billion. These committed and uncommitted credit lines, which may be eligible for renewal at various future dates or have no specified expiration date, are used primarily by our subsidiaries for local funding requirements. Caterpillar or Cat Financial may guarantee subsidiary borrowings under these lines.



 



We receive debt ratings from the major credit rating agencies. Moody’s, Fitch and S&P maintain a “mid-A” debt rating. A downgrade of our credit ratings by any of the major credit rating agencies would result in increased borrowing costs and could make access to certain credit markets more difficult. In the event economic conditions deteriorate such that access to debt markets becomes unavailable, ME&T’s operations would rely on cash flow from operations, use of existing cash balances, borrowings from Cat Financial and access to our committed credit facilities. Our Financial Products’ operations would rely on cash flow from its existing portfolio, existing cash balances, access to our committed credit facilities and other credit line facilities of Cat Financial, and potential borrowings from Caterpillar. In addition, we maintain a support agreement with Cat Financial, which requires Caterpillar to remain the sole owner of Cat Financial and may, under certain circumstances, require Caterpillar to make payments to Cat Financial should Cat Financial fail to maintain certain financial ratios.



 



We facilitate voluntary supply chain finance programs (the “Programs”) through participating financial institutions. The Programs are available to a wide range of suppliers and allow them the option to manage their cash flow.  We are not a party to the agreements between the participating financial institutions and the suppliers in connection with the Programs. The range of payment terms we negotiate with our suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the Programs. The amounts payable to participating financial institutions for suppliers who voluntarily participate in the Programs and included in accounts payable in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position were $894 million and $822 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The amounts settled through the Programs and paid to participating financial institutions were $4.0 billion and $2.9 billion during the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.  We account for payments made under the Programs, the same as our other accounts payable, as a reduction to our cash flows from operations. We do not believe that changes in the availability of supply chain financing will have a significant impact on our liquidity.



 



Machinery, Energy & Transportation



 



Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.19 billion in the first nine months of 2022, compared with net cash provided of



$4.90 billion for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to payments for short-term incentive compensation in the first quarter of 2022, higher payments for taxes which includes payments related to settlements with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and increased working capital requirements during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period last year. Within working capital, changes in inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses unfavorably impacted cash flow but were partially offset by favorable changes in customer advances and accounts receivable. Partially offsetting these unfavorable items was higher profit adjusted for non-cash items during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period a year ago.



 



Net cash used by investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 was $881 million, compared with net cash used of $487 million in the first nine months of 2021. The change was primarily due to decreased activity related to intercompany lending with Financial Products and was partially offset by decreases in net investment activity.



 



Net cash used for financing activities during the first nine months of 2022 was $5.29 billion, compared with net cash used of



$4.67 billion in the same period of 2021. The change was primarily due to higher share repurchases in the first nine months of



2022 and the absence of proceeds from debt issuances which occurred in the first nine months of 2021.   These items were partially offset by lower repayments of maturing debt during the first nine months of 2022.



 


 



 



While our short-term priorities for the use of cash may vary from time to time as business needs and conditions dictate, our long-term cash deployment strategy is focused on the following priorities. Our top priority is to maintain a strong financial position in support of a mid-A rating. Next, we intend to fund operational requirements and commitments. Then, we intend to fund priorities that profitably grow the company and return capital to shareholders through dividend growth and share repurchases. Additional information on cash deployment is as follows:



 



Strong financial positionOur top priority is to maintain a strong financial position in support of a mid-A rating. We track a diverse group of financial metrics that focus on liquidity, leverage, cash flow and margins which align with our cash deployment actions and the various methodologies used by the major credit rating agencies.



 



Operational excellence and commitments Capital expenditures were $880 million during the first nine months of



2022, compared to $693 million for the same period in 2021. We expect ME&T’s capital expenditures in 2022 to be about $1.4 billion. We made $299 million of contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the first nine months of 2022. We currently anticipate full-year 2022 contributions of approximately $357 million. In comparison, we made $229 million of contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the first nine months of 2021.



 



Fund strategic growth initiatives and return capital to shareholders We intend to utilize our liquidity and debt capacity to fund targeted investments that drive long-term profitable growth focused in the areas of expanded offerings and services, including acquisitions.



 



As part of our capital allocation strategy, ME&T free cash flow is a liquidity measure we use to determine the cash generated and available for financing activities including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases. We define ME&T free cash flow as cash from ME&T operations less capital expenditures, excluding discretionary pension and other  postretirement  benefit  plan  contributions  and  cash  payments  related  to  settlements  with  the  U.S.  Internal Revenue Service. A goal of our capital allocation strategy is to return substantially all ME&T free cash flow to shareholders over time in the form of dividends and share repurchases, while maintaining our mid-A rating.



 



Our share repurchase plans are subject to the company’s cash deployment priorities and are evaluated on an ongoing basis  considering  the  financial  condition  of  the  company  and  the  economic  outlook,  corporate  cash  flow,  the company’s liquidity needs, and the health and stability of global credit markets. The timing and amount of future repurchases may vary depending on market conditions and investing priorities. In July 2018, the Board approved a repurchase authorization (the 2018 Authorization) of up to $10.0 billion of Caterpillar common stock effective January



1, 2019, with no expiration. In May 2022, the Board approved a new share repurchase authorization (the 2022



Authorization) of up to $15.0 billion of Caterpillar common stock effective August 1, 2022, with no expiration. Utilization of the 2022 Authorization for all share repurchases commenced on August 1, 2022, leaving $70 million unutilized under the 2018 Authorization as of September 30, 2022. In the first nine months of 2022, we repurchased



$3.31  billion  of  Caterpillar  common  stock,  with  $13.7  billion  remaining  under  the  2022  Authorization  as  of



September 30, 2022. Our basic shares outstanding as of September 30, 2022 were approximately 520 million.



 



Each quarter, our Board of Directors reviews the company’s dividend for the applicable quarter. The Board evaluates the financial condition of the company and considers the economic outlook, corporate cash flow, the company’s liquidity needs, and the health and stability of global credit markets to determine whether to maintain or change the quarterly dividend. In October 2022, the Board of Directors approved maintaining our quarterly dividend representing



$1.20 per share, and we continue to expect our strong financial position to support the dividend. Dividends paid totaled



$1.82 billion in the first nine months of 2022.



 



 



Financial Products



 



Financial Products operating cash flow was $1.25 billion in the first nine months of 2022, compared with $1.10 billion for the same period a year ago. Net cash used for investing activities was $228 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared with net cash used of $468 million for the same period in 2021. The change was primarily due to portfolio related activity. Net cash used for financing activities was $872 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared with net cash used of $289 million for the same period in 2021. The change was primarily due to lower portfolio funding requirements.



 



Financial Products ended the third quarter of 2022 with $943 million of cash, including $142 million in Russia which is currently subject to local government restrictions that substantially limit transfer outside of the country.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES



 



For a discussion of the company’s critical accounting estimates, see Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.



 



OTHER MATTERS



 



Information related to legal proceedings appears in Note 14—Environmental and Legal Matters of Part II, Item 8 “Financial



Statements and Supplementary Data.”



 



Retirement Benefits



 



We recognize mark-to-market gains and losses immediately through earnings upon the remeasurement of our pension and OPEB plans. Mark-to-market gains and losses represent the effects of actual results differing from our assumptions and the effects of changing assumptions. We will record the annual mark-to-market adjustment as of the measurement date, December



31, 2022. It is difficult to predict the December 31, 2022 adjustment amount, as it will be dependent primarily on changes in discount rates during 2022, and actual returns on plan assets differing from our expected returns for 2022.



 



Order Backlog



 



At the end of the third quarter of 2022, the dollar amount of backlog believed to be firm was approximately $30.0 billion, about



$1.6 billion higher than the second quarter of 2022.   The order backlog increase was primarily driven by Energy & Transportation and Construction Industries. Of the total backlog at September 30, 2022, approximately $5.7 billion was not expected to be filled in the following twelve months.



 


 



 



NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES



 



We provide the following definitions for the non-GAAP financial measures used in this report. These non-GAAP financial measures  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 as a substitute for the related GAAP measures.



 



We believe it is important to separately quantify the profit impact of one significant item in order for our results to be meaningful to our readers.  This item consists of restructuring costs, which were incurred to generate longer-term benefits. We do not consider this item indicative of earnings from ongoing business activities and believe the non-GAAP measure provides investors with useful perspective on underlying business results and trends and aids with assessing our period-over-period results. In addition, we provide a calculation of ME&T free cash flow as we believe it is an important measure for investors to determine the cash generation available for financing activities including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases.

Machinery, Energy & Transportation – We define ME&T as it is presented in the supplemental data as Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries, excluding Financial Products. ME&T’s information relates to the design, manufacturing and marketing of our products.



 



Financial Products – We define Financial Products as it is presented in the supplemental data as our finance and insurance subsidiaries, primarily Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (Cat Financial) and Caterpillar Insurance Holdings Inc. (Insurance Services).  Financial Products’ information relates to the financing to customers and dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment.



 



Consolidating Adjustments – Eliminations of transactions between ME&T and Financial Products.



 



The nature of the ME&T and Financial Products 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 believe this presentation will assist readers in understanding our business.



 



Pages 67 to 74 reconcile ME&T and Financial Products to Caterpillar Inc. consolidated financial information. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
