Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

We have affiliates, suppliersCat Financial has end-user customers and dealers that are VIEsvariable interest entities (VIEs) of which we are not the primary beneficiary.

In addition, Cat Financial has end-user customers that are VIEs of which we are not the primary beneficiary. Although we have provided financial support to these entities and therefore have a variable interest, we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance. 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. These risks areCredit 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

Revenue recognition - In May 2014,A. Adoption of new accounting standards

We consider the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new revenue recognition guidance to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model forapplicability and impact of all contracts with customers. UnderASUs. We adopted the new guidance, an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. A five step model has been introduced for an entity to apply when recognizing revenue. The new guidance also includes enhanced disclosure requirements, and isfollowing ASUs effective January 1, 2018. Entities have the option to apply the new guidance under a retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented, or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect2022, none of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application within the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity. We will adopt the new guidance effective January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective approach. We have completed our evaluation of the impact of the new standard. Under the new guidance, sales of certain turbine machinery units will change to a point-in-time recognition model. Under current guidance, we account for these sales under an over-time model following the percentage-of-completion method as the product is manufactured. In addition, under the new guidance we will begin to recognize an asset for the value of expected replacement part returns and will discontinue lease accounting treatment for certain product sales containing residual value guarantees. We are currently in the process of updating our accounting policies and internal controls over financial reporting. The actual impact from adoption on our financial statements will be based on the specific revenue contracts existing as of January 1, 2018, however we have not identified any impacts to our financial statements or disclosures that we believe will be material in the year of adoption.

Simplifying the measurement of inventory – In July 2015, the FASB issued accounting guidance which requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Prior to the issuance of the new guidance, inventory was measured at the lower of cost or market. Replacing the concept of market with the single measurement of net realizable value is intended to create efficiencies for preparers. Inventory measured using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and the retail inventory method are not impacted by the new guidance. The guidance was effective January 1, 2017, and was applied prospectively. The adoption did not havehad a material impact on our financial statements.statements:

B. Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted

We consider the applicability and measurementimpact of financial assetsall ASUs. We assessed the ASUs and financial liabilities In January 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidancedetermined that affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities accounted for under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Under the new guidance, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. For financial liabilities when the fair value option has been elected, changes in fair value duethey either were not applicable or were not expected to instrument-specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new guidance is effective January 1, 2018, with the cumulative effect adjustment from initially applying the new guidance recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The impact on our financial statements at the time of adoption will primarily be based on changes in the fair value of our available-for-sale equity securities subsequent to January 1, 2018, which will be recorded through earnings.

Lease accounting In February 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance that revises the accounting for leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases. The new guidance will continue to classify leases as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The accounting applied by a lessor under the new guidance will be substantially equivalent to current lease accounting guidance. The new guidance is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented and provides for certain practical expedients. We have formed an implementation team and are in the process of evaluating the effect of the new guidance on our financial statements.

Stock-based compensation In March 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The new guidance changes how reporting entities account for certain aspects of

share-based payments, including the accounting for income taxes and the classification of the tax impact on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow. Under the new guidance all excess tax benefits and deficiencies during the period are recognized in income (rather than equity) on a prospective basis. The guidance removes the requirement to delay recognition of excess tax benefits until it reduces income taxes currently payable. This change was required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. In addition, Cash flows related to excess tax benefits are now included in Cash provided by operating activities and will no longer be separately classified as a financing activity. This change was adopted retrospectively. The guidance was effective January 1, 2017, and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.


Measurement
3.Sales and revenue contract information

Trade receivables represent amounts due from dealers and end users for the sale of credit losses on financial instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance to introduceour products, and include amounts due from wholesale inventory financing provided by Cat Financial for a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimatedealer’s purchase of current expected credit losses. The new guidance will apply to loans, accounts receivable,inventory. We recognize trade receivables other financial assets measured at amortized cost, loan commitmentsfrom dealers (including wholesale inventory financing) and end users in Receivables – trade and other off-balance sheet credit exposures. The new guidance will also apply to debt securitiesand Long-term receivables – trade and other financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The new guidance is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2019. We are in the process of evaluating the effect of the new guidance on our financial statements.

Classification for certain cash receipts and cash payments In August 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to the presentation and classification of certain transactions in the statement of cash flows where diversity in practice exists. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Tax accounting for intra-entity asset transfers In October 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance that will require the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers to be recognized in the period when the transfer occurs. Under current guidance, the tax effects of intra-entity sales of assets are deferred until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use. The new guidance does not apply to intra-entity transfers of inventory. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018, and is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Based on our current assessment, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Classification of restricted cash In November 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to the presentation and classification of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows where diversity in practice exists. The new standard is required to be applied with a retrospective approach. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Clarification on the definition of a business In January 2017, the FASB issued accounting guidance to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Simplifying the measurement for goodwill – In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The new guidance will be applied prospectively and is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2017. We adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Presentation of net periodic pension costs and net periodic postretirement benefit costs – In March 2017, the FASB issued accounting guidance that will require that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost. Service cost is required to be reported in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net periodic benefit cost are required to be reported outside the subtotal for income from operations. Additionally, only the service cost component of net benefit costs are eligible for capitalization. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018, and apply the presentation changes retrospectively and the capitalization change prospectively. The impact on our financial statements at the time of adoption will primarily be reclassification of other components of net periodic benefit cost outside of Operating profit in the Consolidated Statement of ResultsFinancial Position. Trade receivables from dealers and end users were $6,736 million, $7,267 million and $6,310 million as of Operations.

Premium amortization on purchased callable debt securities – In March 2017, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Securities held at a premium will be required to be amortized to the earliest call date rather than the maturity date. The new standard is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earningsSeptember 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 periodthree and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $121 million and $795 million, respectively, of adoption.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 guidancedollar amount of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original duration greater than one year is effective January 1, 2019,$10.9 billion, with early adoption permitted. We do not expectabout one-half of the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Clarification on stock-based compensation In May 2017, the FASB issued accounting guidance to clarify which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The new standard is requiredamount expected to be applied prospectively. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Derivativescompleted and hedging In August 2017, the FASB issued accounting guidance to better align hedge accounting with a company’s risk management activities, simplify the application of hedge accounting and improve the disclosures of hedging arrangements. The new guidance is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earningsrevenue recognized in the periodtwelve months following September 30, 2022. We have elected the practical expedient not to disclose unsatisfied performance obligations with an original contract duration of adoption. The guidance is effective January 1, 2019,one year or less. Contracts with early adoption permitted. Wean original duration of one year or less are in the process of evaluating the effect of the new guidance on our financial statements.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 primarily consists of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) and stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs).

Upon separation from service, if the participant is 55 years of age or older with more than five years of service, the participant meets the criteria for a "Long Service Separation." Award terms for awards granted in 2016 allow for immediate vesting upon separation of all outstanding options and RSUs with no requisite service period for employees who meet the criteria for a "Long Service Separation." Compensation expense was fully recognized immediately on the grant date for these employees. Award terms for the 2017 grant allow for continued vesting as of each vesting date specified in the award document for employees who meet the criteria for a "Long Service Separation" and fulfill a requisite service period of six months. Compensation expense for eligible employees for the 2017 grant is recognized over the period from the grant date to the end date of the six-month requisite service period. For employees who become eligible for a "Long Service Separation" subsequent to the end date of the six-month requisite service period and prior to the completion of the vesting period, compensation expense is recognized over the period from the grant date to the date eligibility is achieved.

Prior to 2017, all outstanding PRSU awards granted to employees eligible for a "Long Service Separation" may vest at the end of the performance period based upon achievement of the performance target. Compensation expense for the 2016 PRSU grant was fully recognized immediately on the grant date for these employees. For PRSU awards granted in 2017, only a prorated number of shares may vest at the end of the performance period based upon achievement of the performance target, with the proration based upon the number of months of continuous employment during the three-year performance period. Employees with a "Long Service Separation" must also fulfill a six-month requisite service period in order to be eligible for the prorated vesting of outstanding PRSU awards granted in 2017. Compensation expense for the 2017 PRSU grant is recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year performance period for all participants.

During the second quarter of 2017, the 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan) was amended and restated. The Plan initially provided that up to 38,800,000 Common Shares would be reserved for future issuance under the Plan, subject to adjustment in certain events. Upon shareholder approval of the amendment and restatement of the Plan, an additional 36,000,000 Common Shares became available for all awards under the Plan.


We recognized pretax stock-based compensation expense of $48$55 million and $165$162 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, respectively, and $41$58 million and $187$169 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2021, respectively.



The following table illustrates the type and fair value of the stock-based compensation awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively:

4.5.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.  Risk management practices, including the use of financial derivative instruments, are presentedWe present at least annually to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors at least annually.on our risk management practices, including our use of financial derivative instruments.
 
AllWe recognize all derivatives are recognizedat their fair value on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at their fair value.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. ChangesWe 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, are recordedrisk. We record in current earnings. ChangesAccumulated 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, are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI), to the extent effective, on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position until they are reclassifiedwe reclassify them to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  ChangesWe report changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments and the ineffective portion of designated derivative instruments are reported in current earnings. CashWe classify cash flows from designated derivative financial instruments are classified within the same category as the item being hedged on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.  CashWe include cash flows from undesignated derivative financial instruments are included 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.
13

Table of Contents
 
Our Machinery, Energy & TransportationME&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, 2017,2022, the maximum term of these outstanding contracts at inception was approximately 5160 months.
 
We generally designate as cash flow hedges at inception of the contract any Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, euro, Indian rupee, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Norwegian krona, Singapore dollar or Thailand bahtforeign currency forward or option contracts that meet the requirements for hedge accounting and the maturity extends beyond the current quarter-end. Designation is performedWe perform designation on a specific exposure basis to support hedge accounting. The remainder of Machinery, Energy & TransportationME&T foreign currency contracts are undesignated.  
As of September 30, 2017, $4 million of deferred net gains, net of tax, included in equity (AOCI in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position), are expected to be reclassified to current earnings (Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations) over the next twelve months when earnings are affected by the hedged transactions.  The actual amount recorded in Other income (expense) will vary based on exchange rates at the time the hedged transactions impact earnings.
 
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 option and cross currencyoption 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 ratefixed-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 Machinery, Energy & TransportationME&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)rate and duration) of Cat Financial’s debt portfolio with the interest rate profile of theirour 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 Machinery, Energy & TransportationME&T and Financial Products. TheWe amortize the gains or losses associated with these contracts at the time of liquidation are amortized 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 material.materials. Our policy is to use commodity forward and option contracts to manage the commodity risk and reduce the cost of purchased materials.
 
Our Machinery, Energy & TransportationME&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 Machinery, Energy & TransportationME&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 generallymay 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 generallytypically not required of the counterparties or of our company under the master netting agreements. As of September 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, 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 iswas as follows:

During the first nine months of 2017, there was a liquidation of LIFO inventory resulting from closure of our facility in Gosselies, Belgium. The liquidated inventory was carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with current costs. The effect of this reduction of inventory decreased Cost of goods sold by approximately $62 million and increased Profit by approximately $45 million or $0.07 per share.

Prior service cost (credit) for both pension and other postretirement benefits is generally amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits from the plan. For pension plans in which all or almost all of the plan's participants are inactive and other postretirement benefit plans in which all or almost all of the plan's participants are fully eligible for benefits under the plan, prior service cost (credit) is amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining life expectancy of those participants.

Curtailments and termination benefits were recognized in Other operating (income) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.


We made $324$44 million and $522$299 million of contributions to our pension and other postretirement plans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.2022.

13.14.Environmental and legal matters


The Company is regulated by federal, state and international environmental laws governing ourits 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 are accrued against our earnings. Costs are accruedWe 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.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 requestsrequested 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 Caterpillar SARL,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.

On March 20, 2014, Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) published a Technical Opinion which named 18 companies and over 100 individuals as defendants, including two subsidiaries of Caterpillar Inc., MGE - Equipamentos e Serviços Ferroviários Ltda. (MGE) and Caterpillar Brasil Ltda. The publication of the Technical Opinion opened CADE's official administrative investigation into allegations that the defendants participated in anticompetitive bid activity for the construction and maintenance of metro and train networks in Brazil. While companies cannot be held criminally liable for anticompetitive conduct in Brazil, criminal charges have been brought against two current employees of MGE and one former employee of MGE involving the same conduct alleged by CADE. The Company has responded to all requests for information from the authorities. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate the 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.

On October 24, 2013, Progress Rail received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The subpoena requests documents and information from Progress Rail, United Industries Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Progress Rail, and Caterpillar Inc. relating to allegations that Progress Rail conducted improper or unnecessary railcar inspections and repairs and improperly disposed of parts, equipment, tools and other items. In connection with this subpoena, Progress Rail was informed by the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California that it is a target of a criminal investigation into potential violations of environmental laws and alleged improper business practices. The Company is cooperating with the authorities and is currently in discussions regarding a potential resolution of the matter. Although the Company believes a loss is probable, 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 and welding fumes 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.


14.15.Income taxes
 
The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2017 reflectsended September 30, 2022, reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 3223 percent, which excludes the discrete items discussed in the following paragraph, compared with 25 percent for the first nine months ended September 30, 2021, excluding the discrete items discussed below. The comparative tax rate for full-year 2021 was approximately 23 percent.

Table of 2016.Contents
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 increase is primarily due to higher non-U.S. restructuring costs in 2017 that are taxed at relatively lower non-U.S.company's settlement includes, among other issues, the resolution of disputed tax rates along with other changes in the geographic mixtreatment of profits from a tax perspective. Under the terms of a manufacturing service agreement,earned by Caterpillar SARL (CSARL) will bear substantially allfrom certain parts transactions. We vigorously contested the IRS's application of the restructuring costs"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 closure of our Gosselies, Belgium, facility, reducing CSARL's profits taxableUnited 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 Switzerland.


In addition, during the first nine months ending September 30, 2022, and the associated estimated interest of 2017,$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 $45$41 million wasto 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. Thisexpense, compared with a $61 million benefit was partially offset by a $15 million increase to prior year taxes related to the Gosselies, Belgium, facility, restructuring costs.

In January 2015, we received a Revenue Agent's Report from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) indicating the end of the field examination of our U.S. income tax returns for 2007 to 2009 including the impact of a loss carryback to 2005. The IRS field examination for 2010 to 2012 that began in 2015 is expected to be completed in 2017. In November 2016, we received notices of proposed adjustments from the IRS for the 2010 to 2012 exam. In both these audits, the IRS has proposed to tax in the United States profits earned from certain parts transactions by CSARL, based on the IRS examination team's application of the "substance-over-form" or "assignment-of-income" judicial doctrines. We are vigorously contesting the proposed increases to tax and penalties for these years of approximately $2 billion. We believe that the relevant transactions complied with applicable tax laws and did not violate judicial doctrines. We have filed U.S. income tax returns on this same basis for years after 2012. Based on the information currently available, we do not anticipate a significant increase or decrease to our unrecognized tax benefits for this matter within the next 12 months. We currently believe the ultimate disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.nine months ended September 30, 2021.


Due to better than previously forecasted 2017 U.S. GAAP results in certain U.S. state jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible the valuation allowance for U.S. state deferred tax assets will decrease in the next twelve months.

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 a Group Presidentthe 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 twoone smaller operating segmentssegment that areis included in the All Other operating segments.segment.  The Law, Security and Public Policy Division and the Human Services DivisionResources Organization are cost centers and do not meet the definition of an operating segment.


B.Description of segments
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 sixfive 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 segments:segment:
 
Construction Industries: A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using machinery in infrastructure forestry and building construction applications.

C.Segment measurement and reconciliations
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:
 
Machinery, Energy & TransportationME&T segment net assets generally include inventories, receivables, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangibles, accounts payable and customer advances. LiabilitiesWe generally manage at the corporate level liabilities other than accounts payable and customer advances, are generally managed at the corporate level and arewe do not includedinclude these in segment operations.  Financial Products Segment assets generally include all categories of assets.

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


GoodwillWe amortize goodwill allocated to segments is amortized using a fixed amount based on a 20 year20-year useful life.  This methodology difference only impacts segment assets; noassets. We do not include goodwill amortization expense is included in segment profit. In addition, we have allocated to segments only a portion of goodwill for certain acquisitions made in 2011 or later has been allocated to segments.later.


The present value of future lease payments for certain Machinery, Energy & Transportation operating leases is included in segment assets.  The estimated financing component of the lease payments is excluded.

CurrencyWe generally manage currency exposures for Machinery, Energy & Transportation are generally managedME&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 are not included in segment

profit.  Theyear.  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 is reported as a methodology difference.


Stock-basedWe do not include stock-based compensation expense is not included in segment profit.


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


Machinery, Energy & TransportationWe determine ME&T segment profit is determined on a pretax basis and excludesexclude interest expense and most other income/expense items.  We determine Financial Products Segment profit is determined on a pretax basis and includesinclude other income/expense items.

Reconciling items are created based on accounting differences between segment reporting and our consolidated external reporting. Please refer to pages 3930 to 4533 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: PrimarilyMay include costs for employee separation, long-lived asset impairments and contract terminations. These costs are included in Other Operating (Income) Expenses.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, primarily forwhich may consist of accelerated depreciation, inventory write-downs, building demolition, equipment relocation and project management costs and also LIFO inventory decrement benefits from inventory liquidations at closed facilities, all of which are primarily included in Cost of goods sold. A table, Reconciliation of Restructuring costs on page 42, has been included to illustrate how segment profit would have been impacted by the restructuring costs. See Note 1820 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 are reported on the cash basis for segment reporting and the accrual basis for consolidated external reporting.

Allowance for credit losses

The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the losses inherent in Cat Financial’s finance receivable portfolio and includes consideration of accounts that have been individually identified as impaired, as well as pools of finance receivables where it is probable that certain receivables in the pool are impaired but the individual accounts cannot yet be identified. In identifying and measuring impairment, management takes into consideration past loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of underlying collateral and current economic conditions.  

Accounts are identified for individual review based on past-due status and using information available about the customer, such as financial statements, news reports and published credit ratings, as well as general information regarding industry trends and the economic environment in which Cat Financial’s customers operate. The allowance for credit losses attributable to finance receivables that are individually evaluated and determined to be impaired is based either on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivables' effective interest rate or 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 also considers credit enhancements such as additional collateral and contractual third-party guarantees. The allowance for credit losses attributable to the remaining accounts not yet individually identified as impaired is estimated based on loss forecast models utilizing probabilities of default, our estimate of the loss emergence period and the estimated loss given default.  In addition, qualitative factors not able to be fully captured in the loss forecast models including industry trends, macroeconomic factors and model imprecision are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.  These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.

Cat Financial’s allowance for credit losses is segregated into two portfolio segments:
Customer - Finance receivables with retail customers.
Dealer - Finance receivables with Caterpillar dealers.

Portfolio segments
A portfolio segment is the level at which the companyCat 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.

Table of Contents
    
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. Typically, Cat Financial’s finance receivables within a geographic area have similar credit risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring credit risk.  Cat Financial’sFinancial's classes, which align with management reporting for credit losses, are as follows:

North America - Includes financeFinance receivables originated in the United States orand Canada.
EuropeEAME - Includes financeFinance receivables originated in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Asia Asia/Pacific - Includes financeFinance receivables originated in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Southeast Asia and Southeast Asia.India.
Mining - Includes financeFinance receivables related to large mining customers worldwide and project financing in various countries.worldwide.
Latin America - Includes financeFinance receivables originated in Mexico and Central and South American countries and Mexico.countries.
Caterpillar Power Finance - Includes financeFinance receivables originated worldwide related to marine vessels with Caterpillar engines worldwide and Caterpillar electrical power generation, gas compression and co-generation systems and non-Caterpillar equipment that is powered by these systems worldwide.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-rating agencycredit 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 and collection experience 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 recorded investment in finance receivablesreceivable past due when any installment is over 30 days past due.

Impaired finance receivables

For all classes, a finance receivable is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that Cat Financial will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms.  Impaired finance receivables include finance receivables that have been restructured and are considered to be troubled debt restructurings.


There were no impaired finance receivables as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016, for the Dealer portfolio segment.  Cat Financial’s recorded investment in impaired finance receivables and the related unpaid principal balances and allowance for the Customer portfolio segment were as follows: by origination year:

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 (generally afterprobable. Contracts on non-accrual status are generally more than 120 days past due)due or have been restructured in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). Recognition is resumed and previously suspended income is recognized when the finance receivable becomes current and collection of remaining amounts 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:

Troubled Debt Restructuringsdebt restructurings


A restructuring of a finance receivable constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (TDR)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, extended skip payment periodsdeferrals 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.

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 1Quoted 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.
 
FairWe classify fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation.  A measurementWe may therefore be classifiedclassify 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
InvestmentsWe have investments in certain debt and equity securities primarily at Insurance Services, have been classified as available-for-sale andthat 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 bonds,debt securities, corporate bondsdebt 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.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 modelsa standard industry accepted valuation model that utilizeutilizes 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 astandard industry accepted valuation modelmodels that discountsdiscount cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.

In addition to the amounts above, certain Cat Financial impaired loans are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are classified as Level 3 measurements. A loan is considered impairedmeasured at fair value when management determines that collection of contractual amounts due is not probable.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'receivables’ effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent receivables.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 impaired loans with acarried at fair value of $251$90 million and $137$100 million as of September 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, 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 useduse the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments:


Cash and short-term investmentscash equivalents
Carrying amount approximatedapproximates 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 approximatedapproximates fair value.  RestrictedWe include restricted cash and short-term investments are included 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
FairWe estimate fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates, representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.

Wholesale inventory receivables
FairWe estimate fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates, representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.
 
Short-term borrowings
Carrying amount approximatedapproximates fair value. We classify short-term borrowings as Level 1. See Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
 
Long-term debt
FairWe estimate fair value for fixed and floating rate debt was estimated 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 are recognized at the time of employee acceptance unless the acceptance requires explicit approval by the company. For involuntary programs, we recognize eligible costs are recognized 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, 20172022 and 20162021 were as follows:

In March 2017, Caterpillar informed Belgian authorities ofFor both the decision to proceed to a collective dismissal, which will lead tonine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the closure of the Gosselies site, impacting about 2,000 employees. Production of Caterpillar products at the Gosselies site ended during the second quarter of 2017. The other operations and functions at the Gosselies site are expected to be gradually phased out by the end of the second quarter of 2018. We estimate restructuring costs incurred under this program to be about $700 million. For the first nine months of 2017, we recognized $649 million of restructuring costs which included $443 million of employee separation costs, $201 million for long-lived asset impairments and $67 million of other costs partially offset by a $62 million LIFO inventory decrement benefit. The majority of the remaining costs are expected to be recognized in 2017. The remaining restructuring costs for the first nine months of 2017 were primarily related to restructuring actions in Resource Industries.

The restructuring costs for the first nine months of 2016 were primarily related to actions in Resource Industries in response to continued weakness in the mining industry. In addition, costs resulted from our decision to discontinue production of on-highway vocational trucks, as discussed below, and other restructuring actions across the company.company including strategic actions to address a small number of products.

Restructuring costs for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $1,019 million. Throughout 2016, we initiated the following restructuring plans:
In February 2016, we made the decision to discontinue production of on-highway vocational trucks. Based on the business climate in the truck industry and a thorough evaluation of the business, the company decided it would withdraw from this market. We recognized $104 million of restructuring costs, primarily related to long-lived asset impairments and sales discounts, which is substantially all the costs expected under this program.
In the second half of 2016, we took additional restructuring actions in Resource Industries, including ending the production of track drills; pursuing strategic alternatives related to room and pillar products; consolidation of two product development divisions; and additional actions in response to ongoing weakness in the mining industry. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we incurred $369 million of restructuring costs for these plans primarily related to long-lived asset impairments, employee separation costs and inventory write-downs.
In September 2015, we announced a large scale restructuring plan (the Plan) including a voluntary retirement enhancement program for qualifying U.S. employees, several voluntary separation programs outside of the U.S., additional involuntary programs throughout the company and manufacturing facility consolidations and closures expected to occur through 2018. The largest action among those included in the Plan was related to our European manufacturing footprint, which led to the Gosselies facility closure as discussed above. In the first nine months of 2017, we incurred $772 million of restructuring costs related to the Plan, and we incurred $281 million and $569 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively, for a total of $1,622 million through September 30, 2017. We expect to recognize approximately $70 million of additional restructuring costs related to the Plan in 2017.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Overview
Third-quarter 2017 salesThe following Management’s Discussion and revenues were $11.413 billion,Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to provide information that will assist the reader in understanding the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements between select periods and the primary factors that accounted for those changes. In addition, we discuss how certain accounting principles, policies and critical estimates affect our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our discussion also contains certain forward-looking statements related to future events and expectations as well as a 25 percent increase from third-quarter 2016 sales and revenues of $9.160 billion. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume, with about halfdiscussion of the increase duemany factors that we believe may have an impact on our business on an ongoing basis. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our discussion of cautionary statements and significant risks to improved end-user demand and about halfthe company’s business under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of the increase due to favorable changes in dealer inventories. The improvement in end-user demand was across all regions and most end markets. The favorable change in dealer inventories was primarily due to a decrease in dealer inventories during the third quarter of 2016. By segment, the most significant increase in sales volume was in Construction Industries, mostly due to the favorable impact of changes in dealer inventories and higher end-user demand for construction equipment. Sales volume for Resource Industries increased due to the favorable impact of changes in dealer inventories and higher end-user demand for aftermarket parts. Energy & Transportation's sales volume increased due to higher demand across all applications. Profit per share2021 Form 10-K.

Restructuring Costs
In the third quarter of 2017, we continued our focus on structural cost reduction2022 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 help improve our long-term cost structure. Restructuring costs of $90 million were primarily related to restructuring programs in Resource Industriesfavorable price realization and Energy & Transportation. During the first nine months of 2017, we incurred $1.011 billion of restructuring costs,higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts primarily related to the closureeuro, 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 facilitythird 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 Gosselies, Belgium. For the full yearthird quarter of 2017, we anticipate2021. 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 about $1.3 billion.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.

Sales and Revenues
Total sales and revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $11.413$14.994 billion, an increase of $2.597 billion, or 21 percent, compared with $12.397 billion in the third quarter of 2017, an2021. 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 $2.253 billion, or 25 percent, compared with $9.160 billion inequipment to end users and higher services. Dealers increased inventories by $700 million during the third quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to2022, compared with a decrease of $300 million during the third quarter of 2021.
Sales were higher across the three primary segments.
North America sales volume, with about half of the increase due to improved end-user demand and about half of the increaseincreased 33 percent due to favorable price realization, the impact from changes in dealer inventories. The improvement in end-user demand was across all regionsinventories, services and mosthigher sales of equipment to end markets. The favorable change in dealer inventories was primarily due to a decrease in dealerusers. Dealers increased inventories during the third quarter of 2016. By segment,2022, compared with a decrease during the largest sales volume increase wasthird quarter of 2021.
Sales increased 36 percent in Construction Industries mostlyLatin 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 offrom changes in dealer inventories and higher end-user demand for construction equipment. Sales volume for Resource Industriessales of equipment to end users. Dealers increased due to the favorable impact of changes in dealer inventories and higher end-user demand for aftermarket parts. Energy & Transportation’s sales volume increased due to higher demand across all applications. Favorable price realization, primarily in Construction Industries, also contributed to the sales improvement. Financial Products’ revenues were about flat.
Sales increased across all regions with the largest increase in North America. Sales improved 27 percent in North America primarily due to higher end-user demand for both equipment and aftermarket parts, as well as favorable changes in dealer inventories. Dealer inventories decreased during the third quarter of 2016 and were2022, compared with remaining about flat induring the third quarter of 2017. 2021.
Asia/Pacific sales increased 319 percent primarily due to higher end-user demand for construction equipment. About half ofdriven by favorable price realization and the sales improvement in Asia/Pacific was in China resultingimpact from increased building construction and infrastructure investment. EAME sales increased 22 percent primarily due to the favorable impact of changes in dealer inventories, as dealers decreasedpartially offset by unfavorable currency impacts, related to the Japanese yen and Australian dollar. Dealers increased inventories induring the third quarter of 2016 and increased dealer inventories in2022, compared with a decrease during the third quarter of 2017. Sales2021.
Dealers increased 24 percent in Latin America due to stabilizing economic conditions in several countries in the region that resulted in improved end-user demand from low levels.
Dealer machine and engine inventories increased about $200 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to a decrease ofby $700 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016.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 there could be manythe 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 rental ratesrentals 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.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING PROFIT
cons-opprofit2017q3a02.jpgcat-20220930_g3.jpg
The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Operating Profitconsolidated operating profit between the third quarter of 20162021 (at left) and the third quarter of 20172022 (at right). Items favorably impacting operating profitappear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting operating profit appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar. Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company's boardcompany’s Board of directorsDirectors and employees. The bar entitledtitled Other includes consolidating adjustments and Machinery, Energy & TransportationTransportation's other operating (income) expenses.

Operating profit for the third quarter of 20172022 was $1.577$2.425 billion, an increase of $761 million, or 46 percent, compared with $481$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 2016. The increase of $1.096 billion was primarily due2022, compared to higher sales volume. Favorable price realization, lower restructuring costs and variable manufacturing costs were partially offset by higher period costs. Price realization was favorable, primarily in Construction Industries.
Variable manufacturing costs were lower primarily due to the favorable impact from cost absorption as inventory increased in the third quarter of 2017 due to higher production volumes and was about flat in the third quarter of 2016. Material costs were slightly unfavorable due to increases in steel prices. Period costs were higher primarily due to higher short-term incentive compensation expense. Despite a significant increase in sales volume, period costs excluding short-term incentive compensation expense were about flat.
Restructuring costs were $90$350 million in the third quarter of 2017 were primarily related to restructuring programs in Resources Industries and Energy & Transportation,2021.
Operating profit margin was 16.2 percent for the third quarter of 2022, compared with $32413.4 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.

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 2016.
Short-term incentive compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017,2021. The decrease was about $400 million and no short-term incentive compensation expense was recognizeddue to lower average debt outstanding during the third quarter of 2016.2022, compared with the third quarter of 2021.
Other Profit/Loss Itemsincome (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.
Other income/expense in the third quarter of 2017 was income of $64 million, compared with income of $28 million in the third quarter of 2016. The favorable change was primarily a result of gains on the sale of securities.
The provision for income taxes in the third quarter reflects an estimated annual tax rate of 32 percent, which excludes the discrete item discussed in the following paragraph, compared with 25 percent for the third quarter of 2016. The increase is primarily due to higher non-U.S. restructuring costs in 2017 that are taxed at relatively lower non-U.S. tax rates, along with other changes in the geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective. Under the terms of a manufacturing service agreement, Caterpillar SARL (CSARL) will bear substantially all of the restructuring costs related to the closure of our Gosselies, Belgium, facility, reducing CSARL's profits taxable in Switzerland.

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 addition,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 $18$41 million was recordedto 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 the settlement of stock-based compensation awards with associated tax deductionsincome taxes in excess of cumulative U.S. GAAP compensation expense.
Excluding restructuring costs, gain on the sale of Caterpillar’s equity investment in IronPlanet in the secondthird quarter of 2017, and discrete items,2022 also included a $20 million benefit due to a decrease in the 2017 estimated annual tax rate, is expectedcompared to be 29 percent.

Construction Industries
Construction Industries’ total sales were $4.854$6.276 billion in the third quarter of 2017,2022, an increase of $1.021 billion, or 19 percent, compared with $3.554$5.255 billion in the third quarter of 2016.2021. 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.
About half of the sales volume increase was due to the impact of favorable changes in dealer inventories as inventories decreased significantly in the third quarter of 2016 and increased in the third quarter of 2017. In addition, sales volume improved due to higher end-user demand for construction equipment.
Although market conditions remain competitive, price realization was favorable due to a particularly weak pricing environment in the third quarter of 2016 and previously implemented price increases.
In EAME, sales were about flat. Unfavorable currency impacts, primarily related to the euro, were offset by favorable price realization.
Sales increased across all regions withwere about flat in Asia/Pacific. Favorable price realization was offset by unfavorable currency impacts, primarily related to the largest increases in North AmericaJapanese yen and Asia/Pacific.Australian dollar.
In North America, the sales increase was primarily due to a favorable impact of changes in dealer inventories, which decreased in the third quarter of 2016 and were about flat in the third quarter of 2017. Favorable price realization also contributed to increased sales. In addition, end-user demand for construction equipment increased primarily due to improved oil and gas, residential and nonresidential construction activities.
Sales in Asia/Pacific were higher as a result of an increase in end-user demand across the region, but, primarily in China, stemming from increased building construction and infrastructure investment. Favorable price realization also contributed to increased sales.
Sales increased in EAME primarily due to the favorable impact of changes in dealer inventories, which decreased in the third quarter of 2016 and increased in the third quarter of 2017. Favorable price realization also contributed to increased sales.

Although construction activity remained weak in Latin America, sales were higher as end-user demand increased from low levels due to stabilizing economic conditions in several countries in the region.
Construction Industries’ profit was $884$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 2017,2021. 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 $32616.5 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 2016.2022, 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.

Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company's boardcompany’s Board of directorsDirectors and employees. The bar entitledtitled Other includes consolidating adjustments and Machinery, Energy & TransportationTransportation’s other operating (income) expenses.

Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, was $3.245$6.224 billion, an increase of $957 million, or 18 percent, compared with $1.760$5.267 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2021. The increase of $1.485 billion was primarily due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, including a favorable mixpartially 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 products. Improvedmanufacturing 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 lower variable manufacturing costs were mostly offset by higher period coststechnology, such as digital, electrification and restructuring costs. Price realization was favorable in Construction Industries and about flat in Resource Industries and Energy & Transportation.
Variable manufacturing costs were lower primarily due to the favorable impact from cost absorption. Cost absorption was favorableautonomy, as inventory increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and was about flat during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We expect material costs to be higher during the remainder of 2017 and into 2018, primarily due to anticipated increases in costs for steel.
Period costs increased primarily due towell as higher short-term incentive compensation expense, partially offset by the favorable impact of restructuring and cost reduction actions over the past year. These actions primarily impacted depreciation expense and research and development (R&D) expenses. During the remainder of 2017, we anticipate higher period costs due to making targeted investments in initiatives that are important to our future competitiveness, including enhanced digital capabilities and accelerating technology updates to our products.
Restructuring costs of $1.011 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, were primarily related to the closure of the facility in Gosselies, Belgium and restructuring actions in Resource Industries, compared to $624 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.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, 2017,2022, was about $1.050$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 $200$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, 2016. We expect that short-term incentive compensation expense will be significantly higher in 2017 than in 2016 and above targeted levels.
Other Profit/Loss Items
Other income/expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was income of $88 million, compared with income of $112 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The unfavorable change was primarily a result of currency translation and hedging net losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which were mostly due to the euro and Brazilian real. The impact from currency translation and hedging was about flat during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The unfavorable change was partially offset by a pretax gain of $85 million on the

sale of Caterpillar’s equity investment in IronPlanet and gains on the sale of securities2021. The decrease was due to lower average debt outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
The provision for income taxes for2022, compared with the first nine months of 2017 reflects an estimated annual tax rate of 32 percent, which excludes the discrete items discussed in the following paragraph, compared with 25 percent for the first nine months of 2016. The increase is primarily due to higher non-U.S. restructuring costs in 2017 that are taxed at relatively lower non-U.S. tax rates along with other changes in the geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective. Under the terms of a manufacturing service agreement, Caterpillar SARL (CSARL) will bear substantially all of the restructuring costs related to the closure of our Gosselies, Belgium, facility, reducing CSARL's profits taxable in Switzerland.
In addition, during the first nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was income of 2017,$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 $45$41 million wasto 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. Thisexpense, compared with a $61 million benefit was partially offset by a $15 million increase to prior year taxes related to the Gosselies, Belgium, facility, restructuring costs.
Excluding restructuring costs, gain on the sale of Caterpillar's equity investment and discrete items, the 2017 estimated annual tax rate is expected to be 29 percent.

Construction Industries
Construction Industries’ sales were $13.875 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $12.0232021.
Construction Industries
Construction Industries’ total sales were $18.424 billion infor the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2022, 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.
Sales 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 due to higher end-user demand, primarily for equipment in Asia/Pacific.
Although market conditions remain competitive, price realization was favorable due to a particularly weak pricing environment induring the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and previously implemented price increases impacting2022, compared with a decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2021.
Sales increased across all regions with the largest increases in Asia/Pacific and North America.
Sales in Asia/Pacific were higher as a result of an increase in end-user demand, primarily in China, stemming from increased building construction and infrastructure investment, which we expect to continue through the end of 2017. We believe that some demand may have been pulled forward into 2017 in advance of upcoming regulatory actions in China, which would have a negative impact for end-user demand in 2018.
In North America, sales increased primarily due to favorable price realization and higher end-user demand for construction equipment, mostly due to improved oil and gas, residential and nonresidential construction activities.
Although construction activity remained weak in Latin America, sales were higher as end-user demand increased from low levels due to stabilizing economic conditions in several countries in the region.

Sales in EAME increased slightly as lower end-user demand was about offset by favorable price realization. The decline in end-user demand was primarily in Africa/Middle East due to volatile financial and economic conditions, as well as continued tight construction spending in oil producing countries.
ConstructionResource Industries’ profit was $2.420$1.222 billion infor the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, an increase of $281 million, or 30 percent, compared with $1.316 billion in$941 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Energy & Transportation’s total sales were $16.929 billion for aftermarket parts. Dealer inventories were about flat in the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, an increase of $2.370 billion, or 16 percent, compared with a decrease in$14.559 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We believe that mining companies are beginning to increase capital spending from low levels2021. Sales increased across all applications and this is expected to favorably impact sales for new equipment during the remainder of the year. Increases in certain commodity prices over the past year, along with continued commodity consumption, have resulted in increased mining activity and maintenance and rebuild activities, which is a positive for aftermarket partsinter-segment sales. We believe a decrease in idle mining trucks on customer sites is also having a positive impact on end-user demand.
Resource Industries’ profit was $481 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with a loss of $336 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The favorable change was due to higher sales volume and lower period costs and variable manufacturing costs. Period costs were lower primarily due to the favorable impact of restructuring and cost reduction actions, partially offset by an increase in short-term incentive compensation expense. Variable manufacturing costs were lower primarily due to a favorable impact from cost absorption and efficiencies. Cost absorption was favorable as inventory increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to support higher production volumes and decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Energy & Transportation
Energy & Transportation’s sales were $11.258 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $10.562 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of aftermarket parts for reciprocating engines.
Oil and Gas - Sales increased in North America due to higher sales of aftermarket parts as a result of strong rebuild activity in well servicing and gas compression applications and due to higher demand for reciprocating engines used in gas compression as natural gas infrastructure build-out continues and new wells come online that have higher concentration of natural gas than previous wells. This was partially offset by a decrease in sales of equipment in EAME due to the absence of several large gas compression projects, and a decrease in equipment sales in Asia/Pacific primarily for production applications. Sales for equipment used in gas compression applications in North America are expected to be higher during the remainder of 2017.
Industrial - Sales were higher in all regions, reflecting increased sales for equipment across end-user applications and aftermarket parts. Sales for equipment used in industrial compression applications is expected to be higher during the remainder of 2017 as many industrial end-markets are experiencing improved conditions.
Power Generation - Sales were about flat as an increase in North America was about offset by a decrease in EAME.
Transportation - Sales were about flat as an increase in sales for rail services in North America due to higher rail traffic was partially offset by a decline in sales for marine applications attributable primarily to lower demand for work boats and offshore vessels. We believe higher rail traffic will result in increased demand for rail services during the remainder of 2017.
Energy & Transportation’s profit was $2.002 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $1.584 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume and lower variable manufacturing costs,favorable price realization, partially offset by higher period costs. Variable manufacturing costs were lower primarilyunfavorable currency impacts.
Oil and Gas – Sales increased due to a favorable impact from cost absorption. Cost absorptionhigher 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.

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 period costsSG&A/R&D expenses was primarily due todriven by investments aligned with strategic initiatives and higher short-term incentive compensation expense.

Financial Products Segment
Financial Products’ segment revenues were $2.310$2.400 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, an increase of $59$103 million, or 34 percent, fromcompared with $2.297 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2021. The increase was primarily due to a favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment in North America and higher average financing rates in North America and a favorable impact from intercompany lending activity in NorthLatin America. These favorable impacts

were partially offset by lower average earning assets in North America, Latin America and Asia/Pacific and lower average financing rates in Asia/Pacific.
Financial Products’ segment profit was $559$675 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022, an increase of $15 million, or 2 percent, compared with $553$660 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2021. The increase was primarilymainly due to increased intercompany lending activity, an increase in net yield on average earning assetsa favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment and a decrease in thelower provision for credit losses at Cat Financial.

Corporate items2021, primarily driven by favorable impacts of segment reporting methodology, a favorable change in fair value adjustments related to deferred compensation plans and eliminations include: restructuring costs; corporate-level expenses;lower expenses due to timing differences, as some expenses are reported in segment profit on a cash basis; retirement benefit costs other than service cost; currency differences for ME&T, as segment profit is reported using annual fixed exchange rates; cost of sales methodology differences, as segments use a current cost methodology; and inter-segment eliminations.partially offset by higher corporate costs.
The increase in expense from the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was primarily due to a $387 million increase in restructuring costs and unfavorable changes for timing and methodology differences.

In March 2017, Caterpillar informed Belgian authorities of the decision2022, we expect to proceed to a collective dismissal, which will lead to the closure of the Gosselies site, impactingincur about 2,000 employees. Production of Caterpillar products at the Gosselies site ended during the second quarter of 2017. The other operations and functions at the Gosselies site are expected to be gradually phased out by the end of the second quarter of 2018. We estimate restructuring costs incurred under this program to be about $700 million. For the first nine months of 2017, we recognized $649 million of restructuring costs which included $443 million of employee separation costs, $201 million for long-lived asset impairments and $67 million of other costs partially offset by a $62 million

LIFO inventory decrement benefit. The majority of the remaining costs are expected to be recognized in 2017. The remaining restructuring costs for the first nine months of 2017 were primarily related to restructuring actions in Resources Industries.

The restructuring costs for the first nine months of 2016 were primarily related to actions in Resource Industries in response to continued weakness in the mining industry. In addition, costs resulted from our decision to discontinue production of on-highway vocational trucks, as discussed below, and other restructuring actions across the company.

Restructuring costs are a reconciling item between Segment profit and Consolidated profit before taxes.

The following table summarizes the 2016 and 2017 employee separation activity:

   
(Millions of dollars)  
Liability balance at December 31, 2015$483
Increase in liability (separation charges)297
Reduction in liability (payments)(633)
Liability balance at December 31, 2016$147
Increase in liability (separation charges)514
Reduction in liability (payments)(339)
Liability balance at September 30, 2017$322
  

Most of the liability balance at September 30, 2017 is expected to be paid in 2017 and 2018 and primarily includes employee separation payments related to closure of the Gosselies facility.
Restructuring costs for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $1,019 million. Throughout 2016, we initiated the following restructuring plans:
In February 2016, we made the decision to discontinue production of on-highway vocational trucks. Based on the business climate in the truck industry and a thorough evaluation of the business, the company decided it would withdraw from this market. We recognized $104$800 million of restructuring costs primarily related to long-lived asset impairments and sales discounts which is substantially all the costs expected under this program.
In the second halfstrategic actions to address a small number of 2016, we took additional restructuring actions in Resource Industries, including ending the production of track drills; pursuing strategic alternatives related to room and pillar products; consolidation of two product development divisions; and additional actions in response to ongoing weakness in the mining industry. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we incurred $369products. Approximately $600 million of restructuring costs for these plans primarily related to long-lived asset impairments, employee separation costs and inventory write-downs.
In September 2015, we announcedthe total is a large scale restructuring plan (the Plan) including a voluntary retirement enhancement program for qualifying U.S. employees, several voluntary separation programs outside of the U.S., additional involuntary programs throughout the company and manufacturing facility consolidations and closures expected to occur through 2018. The largest action among those included in the Plan was related to our European manufacturing footprint, which led to the Gosselies facility closure as discussed above. In the first nine months of 2017, we incurred $772 million of restructuring costsnon-cash charge related to the Plan, and we incurred $281 million and $569 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively, for a totalrelease of $1,622 million through September 30, 2017. We expect to recognize approximately $70 million of additional restructuring costs related to the Plan in 2017.

We expect 2017 restructuring costsaccumulated foreign currency translation losses that will be approximately $1.3 billion, slightly higher thanrecognized upon the previous estimatesale of about $1.2 billion. a business containing some of these products, which may not occur until 2023.We expect that prior restructuring actions will result in aan incremental benefit to operating costs, primarily SG&A expenses and Cost of goods sold and SG&A expenses of about $450$75 million in 20172022 compared with 2016.2021.

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'Products’ operations are funded primarily from commercial paper, term debt issuances and collections from its existing portfolio. DuringOn a consolidated basis, we had positive operating cash flow in the first nine months of 2017, we experienced favorable liquidity conditions globally in both our ME&T2022 and Financial Products' operations. On a consolidated basis, we ended the first nine months of 2017third quarter with $9.59$6.35 billion of cash, an increase of $2.42cash, a decrease of $2.91 billion from year-end 2016.2021. 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.

Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world with approximately $8.8 billion held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. If non-U.S. earnings were repatriated in excess of the amount previously taxed in the United States, U.S. tax would generally be payable net of any available foreign tax credits.
Consolidated operating cash flow for the first nine months of 20172022 was $5.16$5.03 billion, up from $3.98 billion fordown $759 million compared to the same period last year.a year ago. The increasedecrease 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 expenses, including restructuring costs and short-term incentive compensation expense, in the first nine months of 2017, compared with the first nine months of 2016. In the first nine months of 2017 restructuring costs were primarily for severance costs that have not yet been paid and for non-cash charges. In addition, there were lower severance and short-term incentive compensation payments in the first nine months of 2017 versus the first nine months of 2016. Partially offsetting these items was an unfavorable impact from working capital, primarily due to a decrease in working capital during the first nine months of 2016. See further discussion of operating cash flow under ME&T and Financial Products.2022 compared to the same period last year.
Total debt as of September 30, 20172022 was $35.92$36.53 billion, a decrease of $859 million$1.26 billion from year-end 2016. Debt related to Financial Products decreased $543 million.2021. Debt related to ME&T decreased $316$192 million in the first nine months of 2017. This decrease was due2022 while debt related to the maturityFinancial Products decreased $1.07 billion.
As of a long-term debt issuance and lower commercial paper borrowings compared to year-end 2016 partially offset by a financing transaction in Japan in 2017. On October 10, 2017,September 30, 2022, we called for redemption of all $900 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 7.90% senior notes due in December 2018, payable in cash. The redemption date will be November 10, 2017.
We havehad 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'smanagement’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, 20172022 was $2.75 billion. Information on our Credit Facility is as follows:
In September 2017,2022, we entered into a new 364-day facility. The 364-day facility of $3.15 billion (of which $0.82 billion$825 million is available to ME&T) expires in September 2018.August 2023.
In September 2017,2022, we amended and extendedrestated the three-year facility.facility (as amended and restated, the "three-year facility"). The three-year facility of $2.73 billion (of which $0.72 billion$715 million is available to ME&T) expires in September 2020.August 2025.
In September 2017,2022, we amended and extendedrestated the five-year facility.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 2022.2027.
At September 30, 2017, Caterpillar's2022, 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'shareholders’ equity including preferred stock but excluding the pension and other postretirement benefits balance within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
At September 30, 2017,2022, Cat Financial'sFinancial’s covenant interest coverage ratio was 1.882.59 to 1. This iswas above the 1.15 to 1 minimum ratio calculated as (1) profit excluding income taxes, interest expense and net gain/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, 2017,2022, Cat Financial'sFinancial’s six-month covenant leverage ratio was 7.207.03 to 1. This iswas 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'sFinancial’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, 2017,2022, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

The other external consolidated credit lines with banks as of September 30, 20172022 totaled $4.60$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. In December 2016, Moody's Investors Service downgraded our long-term ratings to A3 from A2,Moody’s, Fitch and short-term ratings to Prime-2 from Prime-1. The Moody's downgrade did not haveS&P maintain a material impact on our borrowing costs or our overall financial health.“mid-A” debt rating. A further downgrade of our credit ratings by Moody's or oneany of the other major credit rating agencies would result in increased borrowing costs and could make access to certain credit markets more difficult. However, our long-term ratings with Fitch and S&P continue to be "mid-A". In the event economic conditions deteriorate such that access to debt markets becomes unavailable, ME&T's&T’s operations would rely on cash flow from operations, use of existing cash balances, borrowings from Cat Financial and access to our Credit Facility.committed credit facilities. Our Financial Products'Products’ operations would rely on cash flow from its existing portfolio, existing cash balances, access to our Credit Facilitycommitted 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.

In addition, there were lower severance and short-term incentive compensation payments in the first nine months of 2017 versus the first nine months of 2016. Partially offsetting these items was an unfavorable impact fromincreased working capital primarily due to a decrease in working capitalrequirements during the first nine months of 2016.2022 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.

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 remains unchanged: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 position Our 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 provide capital to support growth, appropriately fund employee benefit plans, pay dividendsagencies.
Operational excellence and repurchase common stock.

Strong financial positioncommitments A key measure of ME&T's financial strength used by managementis ME&T's debt-to-capital ratio. Debt-to-capital is defined as short-term borrowings, long-term debt due within one year and long-term debt due after one year (debt) divided by the sum of debt and shareholders' equity. Debt also includes ME&T's long-term borrowings from Financial Products. The debt-to-capital ratio for ME&T was 36.1 percent at September 30, 2017, within our target range of 30 to 45 percent. ME&T's debt-to-capital ratio was 41.0 percent at December 31, 2016. The decrease in the debt-to-capital ratio was driven by an increase in equity, which was primarily due to higher profit employed in the business and favorable foreign currency translation adjustments, and a decrease in debt.

Capital to support growth Capital expenditures were $574$880 million during the first nine months of 2017,2022, compared to $858$693 million for the same period in 2016.2021. We expect ME&T's&T’s capital expenditures in 20172022 to be about the same as 2016.
Appropriately funded employee benefit plans$1.4 billion. We made $324 million and $522$299 million of contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the three andfirst nine months ended September 30, 2017.of 2022. We currently anticipate full-year 20172022 contributions of approximately $610$357 million. WeIn comparison, we made $71 million and $270$229 million of contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the three andfirst nine months endedof 2021.
Fund strategic growth initiatives and return capital to shareholdersWe 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, 2016.
Paying dividendsDividends totaled $1.37 billion in2022. In the first nine months of 2017, representing 77 cents per share paid in2022, we repurchased $3.31 billion of Caterpillar common stock, with $13.7 billion remaining under the first and second quarters and 78 cents per share paid in the third quarter. 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'scompany’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'scompany’s liquidity needs, and the health and stability of global credit markets to determine whether to maintain or change the quarterly dividend.
Common stock repurchasesIn January 2014,October 2022, the Board of Directors approved an authorizationmaintaining our quarterly dividend representing $1.20 per share, and we continue to repurchase upexpect our strong financial position to $10support the dividend. Dividends paid totaled $1.82 billion of Caterpillar common stock (the 2014 Authorization), which will expire on December 31, 2018. We did not purchase any Caterpillar common stock in the first nine months of 2017. As of September 30, 2017, $5.47 billion remained available under the 2014 Authorization. Caterpillar's basic shares outstanding as of September 30, 2017 were approximately 595 million.2022.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 20162021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Critical accounting policies thatThere have been revisedno significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our 20162021 Annual Report on Form 10-K are as follows.10-K.


Fair values for goodwill impairment tests - We test goodwill for impairment annually, at the reporting unit level, and whenever events or circumstances make it likely that an impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate or a decision to sell all or a portion of a reporting unit. We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 and monitor for interim triggering events on an ongoing basis.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing either a qualitative assessment or a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If we choose to perform a qualitative assessment and determine the fair value more likely than not exceeds the carrying value, no further evaluation is necessary. For reporting units where we perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on the present value of discounted cash flows, to the respective carrying value, which includes goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is not considered impaired. Beginning in 2017, if the carrying value is higher than the fair value, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss. Prior to 2017, a two-step process was used. For reporting units where we performed the two-step process, the first step required us to compare the fair value of each reporting unit, which we primarily determined using an income approach based on the present value of discounted cash flows, to the respective carrying value, which includes goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, the goodwill was not considered impaired. If the carrying value was higher than the fair value, there was an indication that an impairment may have existed and the second step was required. In step two, the implied fair value of goodwill was calculated as the excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the fair values assigned to its assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of goodwill was less than the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill, the difference was recognized as an impairment loss.

The impairment test process requires valuation of the respective reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on a discounted five year forecasted cash flow with a year-five residual value. The residual value is computed using the constant growth method, which values the forecasted cash flows in perpetuity. The income approach is supported by a reconciliation of our calculated fair value for Caterpillar to the company's market capitalization. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on each reporting unit's long-term forecast and are subject to review and approval by senior management. A reporting unit’s discount rate is a risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital, which we believe approximates

the rate from a market participant's perspective. The estimated fair value could be impacted by changes in market conditions, interest rates, growth rates, tax rates, costs, pricing and capital expenditures. The fair value determination is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to its use of internal projections and unobservable measurement inputs.

An unfavorable change in our expectations for the financial performance of our reporting units, particularly long-term growth and profitability, would reduce the fair value of our reporting units. The demand for our equipment and related parts is highly cyclical and significantly impacted by commodity prices, although the impact may vary by reporting unit. The energy and mining industries are major users of our products, including the coal, iron ore, gold, copper, oil and natural gas industries. Decisions to purchase our products are dependent upon the performance of those industries, which in turn are dependent in part on commodity prices. Lower commodity prices or industry specific circumstances that have a negative impact to the valuation assumptions may reduce the fair value of our reporting units. Should such events occur and it becomes more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value has fallen below its carrying value, we will perform an interim goodwill impairment test(s), in addition to the annual impairment test.  Future impairment tests may result in a goodwill impairment, depending on the outcome of the quantitative impairment test. A goodwill impairment would be reported as a non-cash charge to earnings.

Stock-based compensation - We use a lattice-based option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of our stock options and SARs. The calculation of the fair value of the awards using the lattice-based option-pricing model is affected by our stock price on the date of grant as well as assumptions regarding the following:

Volatility is a measure of the amount by which the stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected term of the award and is based on historical Caterpillar stock price movement and current implied volatilities from traded options on Caterpillar stock. The implied volatilities from traded options are impacted by changes in market conditions. An increase in the volatility would result in an increase in our expense.
The expected term represents the period of time that awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is an output of the lattice-based option-pricing model. In determining the expected term of the award, future exercise and forfeiture patterns are estimated from Caterpillar employee historical exercise behavior. These patterns are also affected by the vesting conditions of the award. Changes in the future exercise behavior of employees or in the vesting period of the award could result in a change in the expected term. An increase in the expected term would result in an increase to our expense.
The weighted-average dividend yield is based on Caterpillar's historical dividend yields. As holders of stock options and SARs do not receive dividend payments, this could result in employees retaining the award for a longer period of time if dividend yields decrease or exercising the award sooner if dividend yields increase. A decrease in the dividend yield would result in an increase in our expense.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at time of grant. As the risk-free interest rate increases, the expected term increases, resulting in an increase in our expense.

The fair value of our RSUs and PRSUs is determined by reducing the stock price on the date of grant by the present value of the estimated dividends to be paid during the vesting period. The estimated dividends are based on Caterpillar's quarterly dividend per share at the time of grant. A decrease in the dividend per share would result in an increase in our expense.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on the grant date fair value. Forfeitures are accounted for in the period they occur as a reduction to expense. Stock-based compensation expense for PRSUs is based on the probable number of shares expected to vest. Changes in the expected probability of achieving performance targets in future periods may result in an increase or decrease in our expense.

Income taxes – We are subject to the income tax laws of the many jurisdictions in which we operate. These tax laws are complex, and the manner in which they apply to our facts is sometimes open to interpretation. In establishing the provision for income taxes, we must make judgments about the application of these inherently complex tax laws.

Despite our belief that our tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, we believe that taxing authorities could challenge certain positions. Settlement of any challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation. We record tax benefits for uncertain tax positions based upon management’s evaluation of the information available at the reporting date. To be recognized in the financial statements, a tax benefit must be at least more likely than not of being sustained based on technical merits. The benefit for positions meeting the recognition threshold is measured as the largest benefit more likely than not of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Significant judgment is required in making these determinations and adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits may be necessary to reflect actual taxes payable upon settlement. Adjustments related to positions impacting the effective

tax rate affect the provision for income taxes. Adjustments related to positions impacting the timing of deductions impact deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Our income tax positions and analysis are based on currently enacted tax law. Future changes in tax law could significantly impact the provision for income taxes, the amount of taxes payable, and the deferred tax asset and liability balances. Deferred tax assets generally represent tax benefits for tax deductions or credits available in future tax returns. Certain estimates and assumptions are required to determine whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the benefit of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making this assessment, management analyzes the trend of U.S. GAAP earnings and estimates the impact of future taxable income, reversing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Should a change in facts or circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, we record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes for 2016 included an increase in the valuation allowance for U.S. state deferred tax assets resulting in a $141 million non-cash charge, net of federal deferred tax adjustment at 35 percent. The primary driver of the increase was recent U.S. GAAP losses expected to recur in 2017 in certain state jurisdictions and the weight given this negative objective evidence under income tax accounting guidance. Reversal of the valuation allowance in the future is dependent on U.S. GAAP profitability in these state jurisdictions giving less weight in the analysis to mark-to-market adjustments to remeasure our pension and OPEB plans as we do not consider these adjustments indicative of ongoing earnings trends. Due to better than previously forecasted 2017 U.S. GAAP results in certain U.S. state jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible the valuation allowance for U.S. state deferred tax assets will decrease in the next twelve months.

A provision for U.S. income taxes has not been recorded on undistributed profits of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that we have determined to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. If management intentions or U.S. tax law changes in the future, there could be a significant negative impact on the provision for income taxes to record an incremental tax liability in the period the change occurs. A deferred tax asset is recognized only if we have definite plans to generate a U.S. tax benefit by repatriating earnings in the foreseeable future.

Income taxes are based on the statutory tax rate of the jurisdiction in which earnings are subject to taxation. That statutory rate may differ from the statutory tax rate of the jurisdiction in which that entity is incorporated. Taxes are paid in the jurisdictions where earnings are subject to taxation. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate in part due to indefinitely reinvested profits of non-U.S. subsidiaries being subject to statutory tax rates which are generally lower than the U.S. rate of 35 percent. The indefinitely reinvested profits of Caterpillar SARL (CSARL), primarily taxable in Switzerland, contribute the most significant amount of this difference. For tax years 2007 to 2012 including the impact of a loss carryback to 2005, the IRS has proposed to tax in the United States profits earned from certain parts transactions by CSARL based on the IRS examination team’s application of “substance-over-form” or “assignment-of-income” judicial doctrines. We are vigorously contesting the proposed increases to tax and penalties for these years of approximately $2 billion. We believe that the relevant transactions complied with applicable tax laws and did not violate judicial doctrines. The purchase of parts by CSARL from unrelated parties and the subsequent sale of those parts to unrelated dealers outside the United States have substantial legal, commercial, and economic consequences for the parties involved. Therefore, we have concluded that the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be sustained related to this position is the entire benefit. As a result, no amount related to these IRS adjustments is reflected in unrecognized tax benefits. We have filed U.S. income tax returns on this same basis for years after 2012. We currently believe the ultimate disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

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.”


The Company is regulated by federal, state and international environmental laws governing our 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, the investigation, remediation, and operating and maintenance costs are accrued against our earnings. Costs are accrued 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. 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 requests 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 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 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 Caterpillar SARL, 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.

On March 20, 2014, Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) published a Technical Opinion which named 18 companies and over 100 individuals as defendants, including two subsidiaries of Caterpillar Inc., MGE - Equipamentos e Serviços Ferroviários Ltda. (MGE) and Caterpillar Brasil Ltda. The publication of the Technical Opinion opened CADE's official administrative investigation into allegations that the defendants participated in anticompetitive bid activity for the construction and maintenance of metro and train networks in Brazil. While companies cannot be held criminally liable for anticompetitive conduct in Brazil, criminal charges have been brought against two current employees of MGE and one former employee of MGE involving the same conduct alleged by CADE. The Company has responded to all requests for information from the authorities. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate the 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.

On October 24, 2013, Progress Rail received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The subpoena requests documents and information from Progress Rail, United Industries Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Progress Rail, and Caterpillar Inc. relating to allegations that Progress Rail conducted improper or unnecessary railcar inspections and repairs and improperly disposed of parts, equipment, tools and other items. In connection with this subpoena, Progress Rail was informed by the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California that it is a target of a criminal investigation into potential violations of environmental laws and alleged improper business practices. The Company is cooperating with the authorities and is currently in discussions regarding a potential resolution of the matter. Although the Company believes a loss is probable, 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 and welding fumes exposure), contracts, employment issues, environmental matters, intellectual property rights, 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.
Retirement Benefits
Based on market conditionsWe 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 September 30, 2017, we would be required to recognize an increase in our underfunded status of approximately $650 million atthe measurement date, December 31, 2017. This would result in an increase in our Liability for postemployment benefits and the recognition in earnings of net mark-to-market losses of approximately $650 million pre-tax, $440 million net of tax or $0.75 per share. The increase in our underfunded status and the net mark-to-market losses are primarily due to lower discount rates at September 30, 2017 (approximately 3.67 percent for our U.S. pension plans) as compared to the discount rates

used at December 31, 2016 (approximately 3.97 percent for our U.S. pension plans) and anticipated changes in our U.S. mortality assumption. These losses are partially offset by the difference between the actual return on plan assets compared to the expected return on plan assets.2022. It is difficult to predict the December 31, 2022 adjustment amount, as it iswill be dependent primarily on several factors including thechanges in discount rate,rates during 2022, and actual returns on plan assets and other actuarial assumptions. Final determination will only be known as of the measurement date, which is December 31, 2017.differing from our expected returns for 2022.


Order Backlog
At the end of the third quarter of 2017,2022, the dollar amount of backlog believed to be firm was approximately $15.4$30.0 billion, an increase of about $600 million from the end of$1.6 billion higher than the second quarter of 2017. Construction Industries'2022. The order backlog increased about $500 million, Resource Industries' increased about $300 million andincrease was primarily driven by Energy & Transportation's decreased about $200 million. Compared with the third quarter of 2016, the order backlog increased about $3.8 billion. The increase was across all segments, most significantly inTransportation and Construction Industries and Resource Industries. Of the total backlog at September 30, 2017,2022, approximately $2.6$5.7 billion was not expected to be filled in the following twelve months.
