NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cummins Inc. (“Cummins,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was founded in 1919 as a corporation in Columbus, Indiana and as one of the first diesel engine manufacturers. We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products, including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems and electric power generation systems. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a network of approximately 600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 7,200 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the presentation of the current period condensed financial statements.

Our reporting period usually ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period. The second quarters of 2015 and 2014 ended on June 28 and June 29, respectively. Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgment and are used for, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, estimates of future cash flows and other assumptions associated with goodwill and long-lived asset impairment tests, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, warranty programs, determination of discount and other rate assumptions for pension and other postretirement benefit costs, income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, lease classifications and contingencies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.

The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding exclude the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options since such options had an exercise price in excess of the monthly average market value of our common stock. The options excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, were as follows:



	Three months ended		Six months ended
	June 28, 2015	June 29, 2014	June 28, 2015	June 29, 2014
Options excluded	490,085	104,262	414,982	52,846

These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our interim period financial results for the three and six month interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 29.5 percent, excluding any one-time items that may arise. The expected tax rate does not include the benefits of the research tax credit, which expired December 31, 2014 and has not yet been renewed by Congress. If the research credit is reinstated during 2015, we anticipate the 2015 effective tax rate will be reduced to 28.5 percent. Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income.

The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2015, was 29.5 percent and 28.1 percent, respectively. The tax rate for the six month period ended June 28, 2015, included an $18 million discrete tax benefit to reflect the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions related to a favorable federal audit settlement.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2014, was 26.5 percent and 28 percent, respectively. The tax rate for the three months ended June 29, 2014, included a $2 million discrete tax benefit for the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions related to multiple state audit settlements. Additionally, the tax rate for the six month period included a $12 million discrete tax expense attributable primarily to state deferred tax adjustments, as well as a $6 million discrete net tax benefit resulting from a $70 million dividend paid from China earnings generated prior to 2012.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2015, versus the comparable period in 2014 was primarily due to unfavorable changes in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax income.

NOTE 6. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

A summary of marketable securities, all of which are classified as current, was as follows:



	June 28, 2015						December 31, 2014
In millions	Cost		Gross unrealized gains/(losses)		Estimated fair value		Cost		Gross unrealized gains/(losses)		Estimated fair value
Available-for-sale
Level 2⁽¹⁾
Debt mutual funds	$	64	$	—	$	64	$	75	$	1	$	76
Equity mutual funds	9		—		9		9		—		9
Bank debentures	13		—		13		6		—		6
Government debt securities	3		—		3		2		—		2
Total marketable securities	$	89	$	—	$	89	$	92	$	1	$	93

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated primarily using actively quoted prices for similar instruments from brokers and observable inputs, including market transactions and third-party pricing services. We do not currently have any Level 3 securities, and there were no transfers between Level 2 or 3 during the first half of 2015 and 2014.

The proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities and gross realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities were as follows:



	Three months ended				Six months ended
In millions	June 28, 2015		June 29, 2014		June 28, 2015		June 29, 2014
Proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities	$	84	$	71	$	155	$	179
Gross realized gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities	—		12		1		13

At June 28, 2015, the fair value of available-for-sale investments in debt securities that utilize a Level 2 fair value measure by contractual maturity was as follows:



Maturity date	Fair value (in millions)
1 year or less	$	66

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are subject to numerous lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary course of our business, including actions related to product liability; personal injury; the use and performance of our products; warranty matters; patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement; contractual liability; the conduct of our business; tax reporting in foreign jurisdictions; distributor termination; workplace safety; and environmental matters. We also have been identified as a potentially responsible party at multiple waste disposal sites under U.S. federal and related state environmental statutes and regulations and may have joint and several liability for any investigation and remediation costs incurred with respect to such sites. We have denied liability with respect to many of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings and are vigorously defending such lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We carry various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be applicable or adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us with respect to these lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We do not believe that these lawsuits are material individually or in the aggregate. While we believe we have also established adequate accruals for our expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon then presently available information, there can be no assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We conduct significant business operations in Brazil that are subject to the Brazilian federal, state and local labor, social security, tax and customs laws. While we believe we comply with such laws, they are complex, subject to varying interpretations and we are often engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws to particular circumstances.

U.S. Distributor Commitments

Our distribution agreements with partially-owned distributors generally have a renewable three-year term and are restricted to specified territories. Our distributors develop and maintain a network of dealers with which we have no direct relationship. Our distributors are permitted to sell other, noncompetitive products only with our consent. We license all of our distributors to use our name and logo in connection with the sale and service of our products, with no right to assign or sublicense the trademarks, except to authorized dealers, without our consent. Products are sold to the distributors at standard domestic or international distributor net prices, as applicable. Net prices are wholesale prices we establish to permit our distributors an adequate margin on their sales. Subject to local laws, we can generally refuse to renew these agreements upon expiration or terminate them upon written notice for inadequate sales, change in principal ownership and certain other reasons. Distributors also have the right to terminate the agreements upon 60-day notice without cause, or 30-day notice for cause. Upon termination or failure to renew, we are required to purchase the distributor’s current inventory, signage and special tools and may, at our option purchase other assets of the distributor, but are under no obligation to do so.

Other Guarantees and Commitments

In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time we enter into other guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financings, residual value guarantees on equipment under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of third-party obligations. As of June 28, 2015, the maximum potential loss related to these other guarantees was $5 million.

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. The penalty amounts are less than our purchase commitments and essentially allow the supplier to recover their tooling costs in most instances. As of June 28, 2015, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $67 million, of which $31 million relates to a contract with an engine parts supplier that extends to 2016. These arrangements enable us to secure critical components. We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.

During 2014, we began entering into physical forward contracts with suppliers of platinum and palladium to purchase minimum volumes of the commodities at contractually stated prices for various periods, not to exceed two years. As of June 28, 2015, the total commitments under these contracts were $67 million. These arrangements enable us to fix the prices of these commodities, which otherwise are subject to market volatility.

We have guarantees with certain customers that require us to satisfactorily honor contractual or regulatory obligations, or compensate for monetary losses related to nonperformance. These performance bonds and other performance-related guarantees were $69 million at June 28, 2015 and $76 million at December 31, 2014.

Indemnifications

Periodically, we enter into various contractual arrangements where we agree to indemnify a third-party against certain types of losses. Common types of indemnities include:


•	product liability and license, patent or trademark indemnifications;


•	asset sale agreements where we agree to indemnify the purchaser against future environmental exposures related to the asset sold; and


•	any contractual agreement where we agree to indemnify the counter-party for losses suffered as a result of a misrepresentation in the contract.

We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnities and accrue for expected losses that are probable. Because the indemnifications are not related to specified known liabilities and due to their uncertain nature, we are unable to estimate the maximum amount of the potential loss associated with these indemnifications.

NOTE 12. OPERATING SEGMENTS

Operating segments under GAAP are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Cummins' chief operating decision-maker (CODM) is the Chief Executive Officer.

Our reportable operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Generation. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines and parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various industrial markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, mining, agriculture, marine, oil and gas, rail and military equipment. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers and fuel systems. The Power Generation segment is an integrated provider of power systems, which sells engines, generator sets and alternators.

We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests) as a primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments.

The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepared the financial results of our operating segments on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which we internally disaggregate financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions. We have allocated certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments differently than we would for stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal and finance. We also do not allocate debt-related items, actuarial gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, changes in cash surrender value of corporate owned life insurance or income taxes to individual segments. Segment EBIT may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

Summarized financial information regarding our reportable operating segments for the three and six month periods is shown in the table below:

NOTE 13. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the FASB amended its standards related to revenue recognition. This amendment replaces all existing revenue recognition guidance and provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard contains principles that we will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that we will recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard allows either full or modified retrospective adoption. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The amendment also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. The new rules would have become effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2017. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year delay of the effective date of the standard to January 1, 2018, to provide adequate time for implementation, although the final amendment has not yet been published. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements, and we are further considering the impact of each method of adoption.

NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Acquisition of Cummins Central Power, LLC

On June 29, 2015, we acquired the remaining 20.01 percent interest in Cummins Central Power LLC from the former distributor principal. The purchase consideration was $41 million, which included $7 million in cash and an additional $31 million paid to eliminate outstanding debt. The remaining $3 million will be paid in future periods.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products, including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems and electric power generation systems. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc, Daimler Trucks North America, Chrysler Group, LLC (Chrysler), Volvo AB, Komatsu, Navistar International Corporation, Aggreko plc, Ford Motor Company and MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG. We serve our customers through a network of approximately 600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 7,200 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

Our financial performance depends, in large part, on varying conditions in the markets we serve, particularly the on-highway, construction and general industrial markets. Demand in these markets tends to fluctuate in response to overall economic conditions. Our sales may also be impacted by OEM inventory levels and production schedules and stoppages. Economic downturns in markets we serve generally result in reduced sales of our products and can result in price reductions in certain products and/or markets. As a worldwide business, our operations are also affected by currency, political, economic and regulatory matters, including adoption and enforcement of environmental and emission standards, in the countries we serve. As part of our growth strategy, we invest in businesses in certain countries that carry high levels of these risks such as China, Brazil, India, Mexico, Russia and countries in the Middle East and Africa. At the same time, our geographic diversity and broad product and service offerings have helped limit the impact from a drop in demand in any one industry or customer or the economy of any single country on our consolidated results.

Worldwide revenues increased 4 percent in the three months ended June 28, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, 2013 and higher demand in North American on-highway markets, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. Revenue in the U.S. and Canada improved by 12 percent primarily due to increased Distribution segment sales related to the consolidation of North American distributors and higher demand in the North American on-highway markets, partially offset by lower demand in the Power Generation segment. Continued international economic uncertainty in the second quarter of 2015 negatively impacted our international revenues (excluding the U.S. and Canada), which declined by 6 percent with sales down or relatively flat in many of our markets, especially in Brazil, Europe and Australia. The decline in international revenue was led by unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 4 percent (primarily in Europe, Brazil, Australia, the U.K. and Canada), lower demand in the Engine segment, especially the on-highway market in Brazil, and declines in international construction and commercial marine demand. These decreases were partially offset by increased international demand for power generation products.

Worldwide revenues increased 5 percent in the first six months of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, 2013 and higher demand in North American on-highway markets, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. Revenue in the U.S. and Canada improved by 14 percent primarily due to increased Distribution segment sales related to the consolidation of North American distributors and higher demand in North American on-highway markets, partially offset by lower demand in the Power Generation segment and off-highway mining and construction markets. Continued international economic uncertainty in the first half of 2015 negatively impacted our international revenues, which declined by 6 percent with sales down or relatively flat in many of our markets, especially Europe, Brazil, Australia and Korea. The decline in international revenue was led by unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 3 percent (primarily in Europe, Brazil, Australia, Canada and the U.K.), lower demand in the Engine segment, especially the on-highway market in Brazil, and declines in international construction and commercial marine demand. These decreases were partially offset by increased international demand for power generation products.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $471 million, or $2.62 per diluted share, on sales of $5.0 billion for the three months ended June 28, 2015, versus the comparable prior year period with net income attributable to Cummins of $446 million, or $2.43 per diluted share, on sales of $4.8 billion. The increase in net income and earnings per share was driven by improved gross margin and lower research, development and engineering expenses, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and lower equity, royalty and interest income from investees. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to improved Distribution segment sales related to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, 2013, higher volumes and lower material and commodity costs, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 28, 2015, benefited $0.02 from lower shares outstanding due to 2015 purchases under the stock repurchase programs.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $858 million, or $4.76 per diluted share, on sales of $9.7 billion for the six months ended June 28, 2015, versus the comparable prior year period with net income attributable to Cummins of $784 million, or $4.26 per diluted share, on sales of $9.2 billion. The increase in net income and earnings per share was driven by improved gross margin and lower research, development and engineering expenses, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, lower other income (expense) as a result of gains recognized in 2014 from the acquisition of the remaining interest in North American distributors and lower equity, royalty and interest income from investees. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to improved Distribution segment sales related to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, 2013, higher volumes and lower material and commodity costs, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 28, 2015, benefited $0.04 from lower shares outstanding, primarily due to purchases under the stock repurchase programs.

We generated $569 million of operating cash flows for the six months ended June 28, 2015, compared to $701 million for the same period in 2014. Refer to the section titled “Cash Flows” in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.

In September 2013, we announced our intention to acquire the equity that we do not already own in most of our partially-owned U.S. and Canadian distributors over a three to five year period. We plan to spend $150 million to $190 million on North American distributor acquisitions and the related debt retirements in the third quarter of 2015.

During the first six months of 2015, we repurchased $174 million of common stock under the 2012 Board of Directors Authorized Plan, completing this program in the second quarter of 2015. In July 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the

Table of Contents

acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon the completion of the 2012 Plan. We repurchased $340 million under the new authorization in the second quarter of 2015.

Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at June 28, 2015, was 17.0 percent, compared to 17.3 percent at December 31, 2014. At June 28, 2015, we had $1.8 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand and access to our credit facilities, if necessary, to meet currently anticipated investment and funding needs. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our credit ratings were as follows:



Credit Rating Agency	Senior L-T Debt Rating	Outlook	Last Updated
Standard & Poor’s Rating Services	A+	Stable	August 2014
Fitch Ratings	A	Stable	October 2014
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.	A2	Stable	December 2014

In July 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a dividend increase of 25 percent from $0.78 per share to $0.975 per share on a quarterly basis.

Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 108 percent funded at December 31, 2014. Our U.S. qualified plan, which represents approximately 56 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, was 119 percent funded and our U.K. plan was 113 percent funded. We expect to contribute $175 million to our global pension plans in 2015. We anticipate pension and other postretirement benefit costs in 2015 to increase by approximately $8 million pre-tax, or approximately $0.03 per diluted share, when compared to 2014 due to lower discount rates and unfavorable demographics mostly offset by favorable expected return on asset performance. Refer to Note 3, "PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS" for additional information regarding our pension plans.

We expect our effective tax rate for the full year of 2015 to approximate 29.5 percent, excluding any one-time tax items.

OUTLOOK

Near-Term

Our outlook reflects the following positive trends for the remainder of 2015:


•	We expect continued growth in the North American heavy-duty and medium-duty on-highway markets compared to 2014.


•	We expect North American light-duty demand to remain strong.


•	We expect the new ISG engine, which began production in the second quarter of 2014 with our Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. joint venture, to continue to gain market share in China in its first full year of production.


•	We plan to acquire two more unconsolidated North American distributors in the third quarter, which we expect to increase our Distribution segment sales.


•	We expect demand in India to improve in some end markets as the economy improves throughout the year.

Our outlook reflects the following challenges to our business that may reduce our earnings potential for the remainder of 2015:


•	Power generation markets are expected to remain weak.


•	Weak economic conditions in Brazil will continue to negatively impact demand across our businesses.


•	We anticipate end markets in China to remain weak.


•	Demand in certain European markets could remain weak due to continued political and economic uncertainty.


•	Foreign currency volatility could continue to put pressure on sales and earnings.


•	We expect market demand to remain weak in the oil and gas markets as the result of low crude oil prices.


•	Domestic and international mining markets could continue to deteriorate if commodity prices continue to weaken.

Long-Term

We believe that, over the longer term, there will be economic improvements in most of our current markets and that our opportunities for long-term profitable growth will continue as the result of the following four macroeconomic trends that should benefit our businesses:


•	tightening emissions controls across the world;


•	infrastructure needs in emerging markets;


•	energy availability and cost issues; and


•	globalization of industries like ours.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended June 28, 2015, increased versus the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to increased sales in the Distribution segment of 21 percent, principally related to the acquisitions of North American distributors since December 31, 2013, and strength in North American on-highway markets improving sales in both the Engine and Components segments. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations which impacted sales by approximately 4 percent (primarily in Europe, Brazil, Australia, Canada and the U.K.).

Net sales for the six months ended June 28, 2015, increased versus the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to increased sales in the Distribution segment of 36 percent, principally related to the acquisitions of North American distributors since December 31, 2013, and strength in North American on-highway markets improving sales in both the Engine and Components segments. Theses increase were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations which impacted sales by approximately 3 percent (primarily in Europe, Brazil, Australia, Canada and the U.K.).

Sales to international markets, based on location of customers, for the three and six months ended June 28, 2015, were 40 percent and 39 percent, respectively, of total net sales compared to 44 percent of total net sales, for both of the comparable periods in 2014.

A more detailed discussion of sales by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased for the three months ended June 28, 2015, versus the comparable period in 2014, and increased as a percentage of sales by 1.7 percentage points. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to improved Distribution segment

Table of Contents

sales related to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, 2013, higher volumes and lower material and commodity costs, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in Australia, Brazil and Canada).

Gross margin increased for the six months ended June 28, 2015, versus the comparable period in 2014, and increased as a percentage of sales by 1.1 percentage points. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to improved Distribution segment sales related to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, 2013, higher volumes and lower material and commodity costs, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in Australia, Canada and Brazil).

The provision for base warranties issued as a percent of sales for the three and six months ended June 28, 2015, was 2.1 percent in both periods, compared to 2.3 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2014. A more detailed discussion of margin by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 28, 2015, increased versus the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to higher compensation and related expenses of $22 million, partially offset by lower consulting expenses of $7 million. Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to 10.7 percent in the three months ended June 28, 2015, from 10.6 percent in the comparable period in 2014.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 28, 2015, increased versus the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to higher compensation and related expenses of $57 million, partially offset by lower consulting expenses of $18 million. Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was 10.8 percent in the first six months of both 2015 and 2014. Compensation and related expenses include salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses

Research, development and engineering expenses for the three months ended June 28, 2015, decreased versus the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to higher expense recovery of $9 million and lower variable compensation expenses of $3 million. Overall, research, development and engineering expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 3.3 percent in the three months ended June 28, 2015, from 3.7 percent in the comparable period in 2014.

Research, development and engineering expenses for the six months ended June 28, 2015, decreased versus the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to higher expense recovery of $11 million and lower variable compensation expenses of $5 million. Overall, research, development and engineering expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 3.7 percent in the first six months of 2015, from 4.0 percent in the comparable period in 2014. Research activities continue to focus on development of new products to meet future emission standards around the world and improvements in fuel economy performance.

Equity, Royalty and Interest Income From Investees

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees decreased for the three and six months ended June 28, 2015, versus the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to the consolidation of the partially-owned North American distributors ($22 million and $44 million, respectively) since December 31, 2013 and lower earnings at Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. ($7 million each period). These decreases were partially offset by higher equity earnings at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. ($21 million and $28 million, respectively) as the joint venture continues to increase market share with the new heavy-duty engine platform introduced in 2014. As we continue executing our plan to acquire partially-owned distributors, we expect equity earnings for our North American distributors to continue to decrease as the earnings will be included in our consolidated results.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to non-Cummins ownership interests in our consolidated entities. Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the three months ended June 28, 2015, decreased primarily due to lower earnings at Wuxi Cummins Turbo Technologies Co. Ltd.

Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the six months ended June 28, 2015, decreased primarily due to lower earnings at Wuxi Cummins Turbo Technologies Co. Ltd. and a decline from the acquisition of the remaining interest in previously consolidated North American distributors since December 31, 2013, partially offset by higher earnings at Cummins India Ltd.

Sales

Engine segment sales for the three months ended June 28, 2015, increased versus the comparable period in 2014. The following were the primary drivers by market:


•	Heavy-duty truck engine sales increased due to improved demand in the North American heavy-duty truck market with increased engine shipments of 17 percent, partially offset by weaker demand in China.


•	Medium-duty truck and bus sales increased due to higher demand in the North American medium-duty truck market with increased engine shipments of 18 percent, primarily due to market share gains and higher global bus demand with improved engine shipments of 24 percent. These increases were partially offset by weaker medium-duty truck demand in Brazil.

The increases above were partially offset by the following:


•	Industrial engine sales decreased primarily due to lower international demand in construction markets with decreased engine shipments of 25 percent, primarily in Europe, as well as reduced demand in international commercial marine markets with decreased engine shipments of 11 percent and reduced demand in international mining markets with decreased engine shipments of 9 percent.


•	Foreign currency fluctuations unfavorably impacted sales results (primarily in Brazil and Europe).

Total on-highway-related sales for the three months ended June 28, 2015, were 68 percent of total engine segment sales, compared to 64 percent for the comparable period in 2014.

Engine segment sales for the six months ended June 28, 2015, increased versus the comparable period in 2014. The following were the primary drivers by market:

Segment EBIT

Engine segment EBIT for the three months ended June 28, 2015, increased versus the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to favorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the U.K. and Europe), lower research, development and engineering expenses, higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees and higher gross margin, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

Engine segment EBIT for the six months ended June 28, 2015, increased versus the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to favorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in Europe and the U.K.), lower research, development and engineering expenses and higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Major components of EBIT and related changes to segment EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:



	Three months ended							Six months ended
	June 28, 2015 vs. June 29, 2014							June 28, 2015 vs. June 29, 2014

The increase in gross margin for the three months ended June 28, 2015, versus the comparable period in 2014, was primarily due to lower commodity costs, higher volumes and favorable foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by increased manufacturing costs in preparation for our light-duty diesel production starting in the second half of 2015 and unfavorable mix. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher compensation expenses, partially offset by lower consulting expenses. The decrease in research, development and engineering expenses was primarily due to higher expense recovery, lower consulting expenses and lower variable compensation accruals. The increase in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was primarily due to increased earnings at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., partially offset by decreased earnings at Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd.

Gross margin remained flat for the six months ended June 28, 2015, versus the comparable period in 2014. Higher warranty costs and increased manufacturing costs in preparation for our light-duty diesel production starting in the second half of 2015 were offset by higher volumes, lower material and commodity costs and favorable foreign currency fluctuations. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher compensation expenses, partially offset by lower consulting expenses. The decrease in research, development and engineering expenses was primarily due to higher expense recovery, lower consulting expenses and lower variable compensation expenses. The increase in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was primarily due to increased earnings at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., partially offset by a charge of approximately $12 million recorded by an equity investee in the first quarter of 2015. The charge wrote down the investee's underlying assets to estimated fair value as the result of an impairment review triggered by the start-up investee's volumes not growing as anticipated from the inception of the venture.

The increase in gross margin for the six months ended June 28, 2015, versus the comparable period in 2014, was primarily due to higher volumes and as the result of operating actions taken in December of 2014. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to lower consulting expenses and lower compensation expenses as the result of operating actions taken in December of 2014, partially offset by lower expense recovery. The decrease in research, development and engineering expenses was primarily due to lower compensation expenses as the result of operating actions taken in December of 2014.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Key Working Capital and Balance Sheet Data

We fund our working capital with cash from operations and short-term borrowings when necessary. Various assets and liabilities, including short-term debt, can fluctuate significantly from month to month depending on short-term liquidity needs. As a result, working capital is a prime focus of management attention. Working capital and balance sheet measures are provided in the following table:



In millions	June 28, 2015			December 31, 2014
Working capital ⁽¹⁾	$	4,950		$	5,034
Current ratio	2.22			2.25
Accounts and notes receivable, net	$	3,422		$	2,946
Days’ sales in receivables	60			53
Inventories	$	2,986		$	2,866

Total debt	$	1,677		$	1,698
Total debt as a percent of total capital ⁽²⁾	17.0		%	17.3		%

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾Working capital includes cash and cash equivalents.

⁽²⁾Total capital is defined as total debt plus equity.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $541 million during the six months ended June 28, 2015, compared to a $480 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the comparable period in 2014. Cash and cash equivalents were impacted as follows:



	Six months ended
In millions	June 28, 2015			June 29, 2014			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	569		$	701		$	(132	)
Net cash used in investing activities	(300		)	(463		)	163
Net cash used in financing activities	(829		)	(756		)	(73		)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	19			38			(19		)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(541	)	$	(480	)	$	(61	)

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased for the six months ended June 28, 2015, versus the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to unfavorable working capital fluctuations, partially offset by higher consolidated net income. During the first six months of 2015, the higher working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $459 million compared to a cash outflow of $131 million in the prior period in 2014.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased for the six months ended June 28, 2015, versus the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to lower cash investment for the acquisitions of businesses of $178 million.

Net cash used in financing activities increased for the six months ended June 28, 2015, versus the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to higher repurchases of common stock of $84 million and higher dividend payments of $51 million, partially offset by lower payments under short-term credit agreements of $38 million and lower distributions to noncontrolling interests of $18 million.

Sources of Liquidity

We generate significant ongoing cash flow, which has been used, in part, to fund working capital, common stock repurchases, capital expenditures, dividends on our common stock, acquisitions, projected pension obligations and debt service. Cash provided by operations is our principal source of liquidity with $569 million provided by operations for the six months ended June 28, 2015.

Table of Contents

As of June 28, 2015, our other sources of liquidity included:


•	cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 billion, of which approximately 48 percent is located in the U.S. and 52 percent is located outside the U.S., primarily in the U.K., China and Singapore,


•	a revolving credit facility with $1.7 billion available, net of letters of credit,


•	international and other domestic credit facilities with $277 million available and


•	marketable securities of $89 million, of which 54 percent is located in India, 31 percent is located in the U.S. and 15 percent is located in Brazil, the majority of which could be liquidated into cash within a few days.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

A significant portion of our cash flows is generated outside the U.S. As of June 28, 2015, the total of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries was $1.0 billion, the majority of which was located in the U.K., China, Singapore and India. The geographic location of our cash and marketable securities aligns well with our business growth strategy. We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. As a result, we do not anticipate any local liquidity restrictions to preclude us from funding our targeted expansion or operating needs with local resources.

If we distribute our foreign cash balances to the U.S. or to other foreign subsidiaries, we could be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes. For example, we would be required to accrue and pay additional U.S. taxes if we repatriated cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings we have asserted are permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. Foreign earnings for which we assert permanent reinvestment outside the U.S. consist primarily of earnings of our China and U.K. domiciled subsidiaries. At present, we do not foresee a need to repatriate any earnings from these subsidiaries for which we have asserted permanent reinvestment. However, to help fund cash needs of the U.S. or other international subsidiaries as they arise, we repatriate available cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings are not permanently reinvested when it is cost effective to do so. Earnings generated after 2011 from our China operations are considered permanently reinvested, while earnings generated prior to 2012, for which U.S. deferred tax liabilities have been recorded, are expected to be repatriated in future years.

Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity

We have a $1.7 billion revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which can be used for general corporate purposes. This facility expires on November 9, 2018.

We have a current shelf registration filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which we may offer, from time to time, debt securities, common stock, preferred and preference stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.

The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not require significant cash outflows in the intermediate term. Required annual principal payments range from $11 million to $39 million over the next five years.

Uses of Cash

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 28, 2015, were $247 million compared to $245 million in the comparable period in 2014. Despite the challenging international economies, we continue to invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions. We plan to spend between $700 million and $800 million in 2015 as we continue with product launches and facility improvements. Approximately 50 percent of our capital expenditures are expected to be invested outside of the U.S. in 2015.

Share Repurchases

In July 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon the completion of the 2012 Plan. In 2015, we made the following purchases under the respective purchase programs:



In millions (except per share amounts) For each quarter ended	Shares Purchased	Average Cost Per Share		Total Cost of Repurchases		Remaining Authorized Capacity ⁽¹⁾
December 2012, $1 billion repurchase program
March 29	1.0	$	138.15	$	137	$	37
June 28	0.3	136.68		37		—
Subtotal	1.3	137.83		174		—

July 2014, $1 billion repurchase program
June 28	2.4	140.04		340		660
Total	3.7	139.29		$	514

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾ The remaining authorized capacities under the 2012 and 2014 Plans were calculated based on the cost to purchase the shares, but excludes commission expenses in accordance with the authorized Plans.

We may continue to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during 2015 to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock based compensation plans and to enhance shareholder value.

Dividends

In July 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a dividend increase of 25 percent from $0.78 per share to $0.975 per share on a quarterly basis. We paid dividends of $280 million during the six months ended June 28, 2015.

Acquisitions

Pensions

The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon a variety of variables and assumptions including return on invested assets, market interest rates and levels of voluntary contributions to the plans. In the first six months of 2015, the investment return on our U.S. pension trust was flat while our U.K. pension trust return was 1.0 percent. Approximately 78 percent of our pension plan assets are held in highly liquid investments such as fixed income and equity securities. The remaining 22 percent of our plan assets are held in less liquid, but market valued investments, including real estate, private equity and insurance contracts.

We sponsor funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Contributions to these plans were as follows:



	Six months ended
In millions	June 28, 2015		June 29, 2014
Defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans
Voluntary contribution	$	72	$	75
Mandatory contribution	82		81
Defined benefit pension contributions	154		156
Other postretirement plans	25		23
Total defined benefit plans	$	179	$	179

Defined contribution pension plans	$	42	$	41

Table of Contents

We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions and other postretirement benefit payments during the remainder of 2015 of $21 million and $15 million, respectively. The $175 million of pension contributions for the full year include voluntary contributions of approximately $82 million. These contributions and payments may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants. Claims and premiums for other postretirement benefits are expected to approximate $40 million in 2015. We expect our 2015 net periodic pension cost to approximate $63 million.

Management's Assessment of Liquidity

Our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Our solid balance sheet and credit ratings enable ready access to credit and the capital markets. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate adequate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. We believe our liquidity provides us with the financial flexibility needed to fund working capital, capital expenditures, common stock repurchases, dividend payments, acquisitions of our North American distributors, projected pension obligations and debt service obligations. We continue to generate cash from operations in the U.S. and maintain access to $1.7 billion of our revolving credit facility.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, “SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2014 Form 10-K which discusses accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that often require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Management reviews these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in business conditions and other relevant factors they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In any given reporting period, our actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical accounting estimates are defined as follows: the estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate was made; different estimates reasonably could have been used; or if changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period and the change would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our senior management has discussed the development and selection of our accounting policies, related accounting estimates and the disclosures set forth below with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Our critical accounting estimates disclosed in the 10-K address the estimation of liabilities for warranty programs, accounting for income taxes and pension benefits.

A discussion of our critical accounting estimates may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of our 2014 Form 10-K under the caption “APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES.” Within the context of these critical accounting estimates, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in different policies or estimates being reported in the first six months of 2015.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 28, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

⁽¹⁾ Shares purchased represent shares under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan established in 1969 (there is no maximum repurchase limitation in this plan) and our Board of Directors authorized share repurchase programs.

⁽²⁾ These values reflect the sum of shares held in loan status under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan. The repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors do not limit the number of shares that may be purchased and was excluded from this column.

During the three months ended June 28, 2015, we repurchased $37 million of common stock under the 2012 Board of Directors Authorized Plan, completing this program. In July 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon the completion of the 2012 Plan. We repurchased $340 million under the new authorization.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended June 28, 2015, we repurchased 5,647 shares from employees in connection with the Key Employee Stock Investment Plan which allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. Loans are issued for five-year terms at a fixed interest rate established at the date of purchase and may be refinanced after its initial five-year period for an additional five-year period. Participants must hold shares for a minimum of six months from date of purchase and after shares are sold must wait six months before another share purchase may be made. We hold participants’ shares as security for the loans and would, in effect repurchase shares if the participant defaulted in repayment of the loan. There is no maximum amount of shares that we may purchase under this plan.
