We consolidate all variable interest entities (VIEs) where we are the primary beneficiary. For VIEs, we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary as prescribed by the accounting guidance on the consolidation of VIEs. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity. Please refer to Note 87 for more information.


We have customers and dealers 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.

For a discussion of our significant accounting (Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02) – In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issuedpolicies, see Note 1 in our 2019 Form 10-K. Significant accounting guidancepolicies that revises thehave been revised since our 2019 Form 10-K are shown below. These accounting for leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for substantially 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 waspolicy changes were effective January 1, 2019 and was applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as2020 with the adoption of January 1, 2019. The priorthe new credit loss accounting guidance discussed in Note 2. Prior period comparative information has not been recastedrecast and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect for those periods.


The new guidance provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the "package of practical expedients," which allows us not to reassess under the new guidance our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient. In addition, the new guidance provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing lessee accounting. We have elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our asset classes.  We have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, which means we will not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for these leases with a term of twelve months or less. Finance Receivables

The most significant effects of adoption relate to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for operating leases and providing new disclosures about our leasing activities.  The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations.

In March 2019, the FASB issued Leases - Codification improvements (ASU 2019-01) which amended the new leasing guidance. Under these amendments, lessors thatFinance receivables are not manufacturers or dealers will use their cost, less any discounts that may apply, as the fair value of the underlying asset, and lessors within the scope of Financial Services-Depository and Lending guidance will present all principal payments received under leases within investment activities on the statement of cash flows.  We adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact to our financial statements.

See Note 4 for additional information.

Reclassification of certain tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (ASU 2018-02) – In February 2018, the FASB issued accounting guidance to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from U.S. tax reform legislation. We adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2019 and the resulting reclassification was included in the period of adoption. The reclassification resulted in decreased retained earnings and increased AOCI of $97 million. 

We adopted the following ASU effective January 1, 2019, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements:

Credit losses (ASU 2016-13) – In June 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance to introduce a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. The new guidance will apply to loans, accounts receivable, trade receivables, other financial assets measured at amortized cost, loan commitments and other off-balance sheet credit exposures. The new guidance will also apply to debt securities and other financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. We will adopt the new guidance effective January 1, 2020.  An implementation team is continuing to work on the design of new processes and controls as well as assessing the effects of the new guidance.  While we are still evaluating the impact of the new guidance, we do not expect a material impact to our financial statements.

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

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is anmanagement’s estimate of expected losses over the losses inherent inlife of our finance receivable portfolio calculated using loss forecast models that take into consideration historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions and includes considerationforecasts and scenarios that capture country and industry-specific economic factors. In addition, qualitative factors not able to be fully captured in our loss forecast models, including borrower-specific and company-specific macro-economic factors, are considered in the evaluation of accounts that have been individually identified as impaired, as well as poolsthe adequacy of finance receivables whereour allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist and on an individual basis when it is probabledetermined that certainsimilar risk characteristics do not exist. Finance 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 reviewevaluation based on past-due status and 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 our customers operate. The allowance for credit losses attributable to finance receivables that are individually evaluated and determined to be impaired is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivables' effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent receivables or the observable market price of the receivable.  In determining collateral value, we estimate the current fair market value of the collateral less selling costs. We also consider credit enhancements such as additional collateral and contractual third-party guarantees. TheSee Note 3 for a description of our portfolio segments and allowance methodologies.

Receivable balances, including accrued interest, are written off against the allowance for credit losses attributablewhen, 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.

A.Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Credit losses (Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13) – In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance to introduce a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. The new guidance applies to loans, accounts receivable, trade receivables, other financial assets measured at amortized cost, loan commitments and other off-balance sheet credit exposures. The new guidance also applies to debt securities and other financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2020. We applied the new guidance using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. We have not recast prior period comparative information, which we continue to report under the accounting guidance in effect for those periods.

The most significant effects of adoption relate to the change in methodology for estimating our Allowance for credit losses from an incurred loss model to a current expected credit loss model. We elected to present accrued interest receivable related to our finance receivables in Finance receivables, net. In prior period comparative information, accrued interest receivable continues to be reported in Other assets. Our adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Allowance for credit losses

Portfolio segments
A portfolio segment is the level at which we develop a systematic methodology for determining our allowance for credit losses. Our portfolio segments and related methods for estimating expected credit losses are as impaired is estimatedfollows:

Customer
We provide 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. We also provide financing for vehicles, power generation facilities and marine vessels that, in most cases, incorporate Caterpillar products. The average original term of our customer finance receivable portfolio was approximately 48 months with an average remaining term of approximately 23 months as of September 30, 2020.

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

We estimate the allowance for credit losses related to our customer finance receivables based on loss forecast models utilizing probabilities of default our estimate of the loss emergence period and theour estimated loss given default.default based on past loss experience adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts capturing country and industry-specific macro-economic factors.

Our forecasts for the markets in which we operate slightly improved during the three months ended September 30, 2020, but continued to reflect an overall decline in economic conditions resulting from a contracting economy, elevated unemployment rates and an increase in delinquencies due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe the economic forecasts employed represent reasonable and supportable forecasts, followed by a reversion to long-term trends.

Dealer
We provide financing to Caterpillar dealers in the form of wholesale financing plans. Our 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, qualitative factors not ablewe provide unsecured loans to be fully captured in our loss forecast models including industry trends, macroeconomic factors and model imprecision are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy ofCaterpillar dealers for working capital.
We estimate the allowance for credit losses.  These qualitative factorslosses for dealer finance receivables based on historical loss rates with consideration of current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Although our forecasts continued to indicate a decline in economic conditions, our Dealer portfolio segment has not historically experienced increased credit losses during prior economic downturns due to our close working relationships with the dealers and their financial strength. Therefore, we made no adjustments to historical loss rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Caterpillar Purchased Receivables
We purchase receivables from Caterpillar, primarily related to the sale of equipment and parts to dealers. Caterpillar purchased receivables are subjective and requirenon-interest-bearing short-term trade receivables that are purchased at a degree of management judgment.discount.

OurWe estimate the allowance for credit losses is segregated into three portfolio segments:for Caterpillar purchased receivables based on historical loss rates with consideration of current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Classes of finance receivables
We further evaluate our 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, our finance receivables within a geographic area have similar credit risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring credit risk. Our classes, which align with management reporting for credit losses, are as follows:


North America - Finance receivables originated in the United States and Canada.
EAME - Finance receivables originated in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Asia/Pacific - Finance receivables originated in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Southeast Asia and India.
Mining - Finance receivables related to large mining customers worldwide.
Latin America - Finance receivables originated in Mexico and Central and South American countries.
Caterpillar Power Finance - Finance receivables originated worldwide related to marine vessels with Caterpillar engines and Caterpillar electrical power generation, gas compression and co-generation systems and non-Caterpillar equipment that is powered by these systems.

On an ongoing basis, we monitor 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, we consider the entire recorded investment in finance receivablesreceivable past due when any installment is over 30 days past due.

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.

4.Leases

A.Lessor Arrangements

We lease Caterpillar equipment, machinery4.Derivative Financial Instruments and engines and other equipment to customers and dealers around the world, primarily through sales-type (non-tax) leases, where the lessee for tax purposes is considered to be the owner of the equipment during the term of the lease. We also offer tax leases that are classified as either operating or direct finance leases for financial accounting purposes, depending on the characteristics of the lease. For tax purposes, we are considered the owner of the equipment.Risk Management

Our lease agreements may include options for the lessee to purchase the underlying asset at the end of the lease term for either a stated fixed price or fair market value.   

The residual values for leased assets, which are an estimate of the market value of leased equipment at the end of the lease term, are based on an analysis of historical wholesale market sales prices, projected forward on a level trend line without consideration for inflation or possible future pricing action. At the inception of the lease, residual values are estimated with consideration of the following critical factors: market size and demand, any known significant market/product trends, total expected hours of usage, machine configuration, application, location, model changes, quantities, past remarketing experience, third-party residual guarantees and contractual customer purchase options. Many of these factors are gathered in an application survey that is completed prior to quotation. The lease agreement also clearly defines applicable return conditions and remedies for non-compliance, to ensure that the leased equipment will be in good operating condition upon return. Model changes and updates, as well as market strength and product acceptance, are monitored and adjustments are made to residual values in accordance with the significance of any such changes. Our sales staff work closely with customers and dealers to manage the sale of lease returns and the recovery of residual exposure.

The residuals for leases classified as operating leases are included in Equipment on operating leases, net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The residuals for leases classified as finance leases are included in Finance receivables, net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

During the term of our operating leases, we evaluate the carrying value of our equipment on a regular basis taking into consideration expected residual values at lease termination. Adjustments to depreciation expense reflecting revised estimates of expected residual values at the end of the lease terms are recorded prospectively on a straight-line basis. For finance leases, residual value adjustments are recognized through a reduction of finance revenue.

Contractual maturities for finance lease receivables (classified as sales-type and direct finance leases) were as follows:

We typically pay property taxes on tax leases directly to the taxing authorities and invoice the lessee for reimbursement. These property tax reimbursements are accounted for as variable lease payments and are included in Operating lease revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Profit. We individually assess our operating lease receivables for impairment. If collectability of a recorded operating lease receivable is not considered probable, we recognize a current-period adjustment against operating lease revenue.

B.Lessee Arrangements

We lease certain property, vehicles and other equipment primarily through operating leases. We recognize a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset based on the present value of lease payments. To determine the present value of lease payments for most of our leases, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available on the lease commencement date. We have elected not to separate payments for lease components from non-lease components. Our lease agreements may include options to extend or terminate the lease. When it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option, we have included the option in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Our variable lease costs primarily include maintenance, taxes and insurance. We have elected not to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less.

Our finance leases are not significant and therefore are not included in the following disclosures.

5.Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management
     
Our earnings and cash flow are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  Our Risk Management Policy (policy) allows for the use of derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate 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 and interest rate 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 our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the Caterpillar Inc. Board of Directors on our risk management practices, including our use of financial derivative instruments.

We recognize all derivatives at least annually.

All derivatives are recognizedtheir fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at their fair value.Position.  On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the derivative instrument is (1) designated as a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge), (2) designated as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows (cash flow hedge) or (3) undesignated.  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 Statements 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 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 Statements of Cash Flows.  CashWe include cash flows from undesignated derivative financial instruments are included in the investing category on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
 
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 Statements 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 value 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 derecognition criteria for hedge accounting.


Foreign currency exchange rate risk
We have balance sheet positions and expected future transactions denominated in foreign currencies, thereby creating exposure to movements in exchange rates. In managing foreign currency risk, our objective is to minimize earnings volatility resulting from conversion and the remeasurement of net foreign currency balance sheet positions and future transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  Our policy allows the use of foreign currency forward, option and cross currency contracts to offset the risk of currency mismatch between our assets and liabilities and exchange rate risk associated with future transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  Our foreign currency forward and option contracts are primarily undesignated. We designate fixed-to-fixed cross currency contracts as cash flow hedges to protect against movements in exchange rates on foreign currency fixed-rate assets and liabilities.
 
Interest rate risk
Interest rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the amount of our interest payments and the value of our fixed-rate debt.  Our practice is to use interest rate contracts to manage our exposure to interest rate changes.
 
We have a match-funding policy that addresses interest rate risk by aligning the interest rate profile (fixed or floating rate and duration) of our debt portfolio with the interest rate profile of our finance receivable 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 finance receivable 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.

As of September 30, 2019, $32020, $17 million of deferred net losses, net of tax, included in equity (AOCI in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position), related to our floating-to-fixed interest rate contracts, are expected to be reclassified to Interest expense over the next twelve months.  The actual amount recorded in Interest expense will vary based on interest rates at the time the hedged transactions impact earnings.
 
As of September 30, 2020, the cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments related to our fixed-to-floating interest rate contracts included in the carrying amount of Long-term debt was $64 million. Fair value gains and losses on these interest rate contracts and the related hedged items generally offset within interest expense. We have, at certain times, liquidated fixed-to-floating interest rate contracts that resulted in deferred gains at the time of liquidation. The deferred gains associated with these interest rate contracts are included in Long-term debt in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and are being amortized to Interest expense over the remaining term of the previously designated hedged item.

We enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreements that permit the net settlement of amounts owed under their respective derivative contracts. Under these master netting agreements, net settlement generally permits us 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 generally 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 generally not required of the counterparties or us under the master netting agreements. As of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, no cash collateral was received or pledged under the master netting agreements.

7.Segment Information


A.     Basis for Segment Information


We report information internally for operating segments based on management responsibility. Our operating segments provide financing alternatives to customers and dealers around the world for Caterpillar products as well asand provide financing for vehicles, power generation facilities and marine vessels that, in most cases, incorporate Caterpillar products. Financing plans include operating and finance leases, installment sale contracts,retail loans, working capital loans to Caterpillar dealers and wholesale financing plans within each of the operating segments. Certain operating segments also purchase short-term trade receivables from Caterpillar.


B.     Description of Segments


We have six operating segments that offer financing services. Following is a brief description of our segments:


North America - Includes our operations in the United States and Canada.
EAME - Includes our operations in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States.  
Asia/Pacific - Includes our operations in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Southeast Asia and India.  
Latin America - Includes our operations in Mexico and Central and South American countries.
Caterpillar Power Finance - Provides financing worldwide for marine vessels with Caterpillar engines and for Caterpillar electrical power generation, gas compression and co-generation systems and non-Caterpillar equipment that is powered by these systems. 
Mining - Provides financing for large mining customers worldwide.


To align with changes in executive management responsibilities and measurement of segment performance, our management reporting was updated effective January 1, 2020. Prior year data has been revised to conform to the 2020 presentation.

C.     Segment Measurement and Reconciliations


Cash, debt and other expenses are allocated to our segments based on their respective portfolios. The related Interest expense is calculated based on the amount of allocated debt and the rates associated with that debt. The performance of each segment is assessed based on a consistent leverage ratio. The Provision for credit losses is based on each segment's respective finance receivable portfolio. Capital expenditures include expenditures for equipment on operating leases and other miscellaneous capital expenditures.


Reconciling items are created based on accounting differences between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting. For the reconciliation of Profit before income taxes, we have grouped the reconciling items as follows:


Unallocated - This item is related to corporate requirements and strategies that are considered to be for the benefit of the entire organization. Also included are the consolidated results of the special purpose corporation (see Note 87 for additional information) and other miscellaneous items.

7.Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
 
Guarantees
We provide loan guarantees to third-party lenders for financing associated with machinery purchased by customers.  These guarantees have varying terms and are secured by the machinery being financed. We also provide residual value guarantees to third-party lenders associated with machinery leased to customers. These guarantees have varying terms. In addition, we participate in standby letters of credit issued to third parties on behalf of our customers.  These standby letters of credit have varying terms and beneficiaries and are secured by customer assets.


No significant loss has been experienced or is anticipated under any of these guarantees. At September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the related recorded liability was less than $1 million. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted and without reduction for any amounts that may possibly be recovered under recourse or collateralized provisions) we could be required to make under the guarantees was $84$37 million and $97$65 million at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.
UNAUDITED




We provide guarantees to repurchase certain loans of Caterpillar dealers from a special-purpose corporation (SPC) that qualifies as a VIE (see Note 1 for additional information regarding the accounting guidance on the consolidation of VIEs).  The purpose of the SPC is to provide short-term working capital loans to Caterpillar dealers.  This SPC issues commercial paper and uses the proceeds to fund its loan program.  We have a loan purchase agreement with the SPC that obligates us to purchase certain loans that are not paid at maturity.  We receive a fee for providing this guarantee, which provides a source of liquidity for the SPC.  We are the primary beneficiary of the SPC as our guarantees result in us having both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPC's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and therefore we have consolidated the financial statements of the SPC. As of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the SPC’s assets of $1.39$1.10 billion and $1.15$1.45 billion, respectively, were primarily comprised of loans to dealers, which are included in Finance receivables, net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the SPC's liabilities of $1.39$1.10 billion and $1.15$1.45 billion, respectively, were primarily comprised of commercial paper, which is included in Short-term borrowings in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.  The assets of the SPC are not available to pay our creditors. We may be obligated to perform under the guarantee if the SPC experiences losses. No loss has been experienced or is anticipated under this loan purchase agreement.

Litigation and claims
A.Fair Value Measurements
We are involved in unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of our unresolved legal actions, we believe that these unresolved legal actions will neither individually nor in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

8.Fair Value Measurements
A.Fair Value Measurements
The guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  This guidance also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques.  Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions.  In accordance with this guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.


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


Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation.  A measurement may therefore be classified 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 us) will not be fulfilled.  For financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price.  For certain other financial assets and liabilities (Level 2 and 3), our fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly.


Derivative financial instruments
The fair value of interest rate contracts is primarily based on standard industry accepted valuation models that utilize the appropriate market-based forward swap curves and zero-coupon interest rates to determine discounted cash flows.  The fair value of foreign currency forward and cross currency contracts is based on standard industry accepted valuation models that discount cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.
 
Derivative financial instruments are measured on a recurring basis at fair value and are classified as Level 2 measurements.   We had derivative financial instruments in a net asset position included in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position of $72$79 million and $49$34 million as of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

UNAUDITED



Impaired loans
Our impaired loans are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are classified as Level 3 measurements. A loan is considered impaired when management determines that collection of contractual amounts due is not probable. In these cases, an allowance for credit losses may be established based either on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivables' effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent receivables or the observable market price of the receivable. In determining collateral value, we estimate the current fair market value of the collateral less selling costs. We had impaired loans carried at the fair value of $373 $269 million and $469$343 million as of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, 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 cash equivalents – carrying amount approximatedapproximates fair value. 
Restricted cash and cash equivalents – carrying amount approximates fair value. 
Finance receivables, net – we estimate fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities. 
Restricted cash and cash equivalents – carrying amount approximated fair value. 
Short-term borrowings – carrying amount approximatedapproximates fair value. 
Long-term debt – we estimate fair value for fixed and floating-rate debt was estimated based on quoted market prices.
Guarantees – fair value of guarantees is based on 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.

Income Taxes


The provision for income taxes reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 33 percent in the third quarter of 2020, compared with 28 percent in the third quarter of 2019, compared with 24 percent in the third quarter of 2018, excluding the discrete item discussed in the following paragraph.2019. The increase in the estimated annual tax rate was primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of profits.


A discrete tax benefit of $7 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2018 for the write-down of net deferred tax liabilities resulting from the 2017 tax year return to provision adjustments. The write-down reflected the reduction in the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent beginning January 1, 2018.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and our discussion of significant risks to the company’s business under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of the 2019 Form 10-K as supplemented by Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this report.

OVERVIEW


We reported third-quarter 20192020 revenues of $748$598 million, an increasea decrease of $13$150 million, or 220 percent, compared with the third quarter of 2018.2019. Third-quarter 20192020 profit was $129$48 million, a $4an $81 million, or 363 percent, increasedecrease from the third quarter of 2018.2019.


The increasedecrease in revenues was primarily due to a $29$76 million favorableunfavorable impact from higherlower average financing rates partially offset byand a $10$40 million unfavorable impact due to the termination of a committed credit facility with Caterpillar.from lower average earning assets.


Third-quarter 20192020 profit before income taxes was $184$96 million, a $21an $88 million, or 1348 percent, increasedecrease from the third quarter of 2018.2019. The increasedecrease was primarily due to a $31$50 million increase in provision for credit losses, a $29 million decrease in net yield on average earning assets and a $27an $18 million decrease in provision for credit losses.unfavorable impact from lower average earning assets. These favorableunfavorable impacts were partially offset by a $14$20 million increasedecrease in general, operating and administrative expenses primarily due to lower short-term incentive compensation and the $10 million unfavorable impact mentioned above related to the termination of a committed credit facility with Caterpillar.employee benefit expenses.


The provision for income taxes reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 33 percent in the third quarter of 2020, compared with 28 percent in the third quarter of 2019, compared with 24 percent in the third quarter of 2018, excluding the discrete item discussed in the following paragraph.2019. The increase in the estimated annual tax rate was primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of profits.

A discrete tax benefit of $7 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2018 for the write-down of net deferred tax liabilities resulting from the 2017 tax year return to provision adjustments. The write-down reflected the reduction in the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent beginning January 1, 2018.


During the third quarter of 2019,2020, retail new business volume was $2.93$2.60 billion, an increasea decrease of $51$329 million, or 211 percent, from the third quarter of 2018.2019.

Generally, the Customer Care Programs provided payment relief for customers that were current in their payment obligations and included payment deferrals of three months, with the option to extend for an additional three months. Additionally, we are continuing to respond to government requirements to adjust the repayment terms for customers. Since the start of the pandemic, modification requests were received from customers representing approximately 25 percent of the customer portfolio. Most customers who have exited the modification period have resumed payments and have not requested additional relief.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
 
Capital resources and liquidity provide us with the ability to meet our financial obligations on a timely basis.  Maintaining and managing adequate capital and liquidity resources includes management of funding sources and their utilization based on current, future and contingent needs. Throughout the third quarter of 2019,2020, we experienced favorable liquidity conditions. We ended the third quarter of 20192020 with $1.37 billion$678 million of cash, an increasea decrease of $600$12 million from year-end 2018.2019. Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world with approximately $209$183 million held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Amounts held by non-U.S. subsidiaries are available for general corporate use and could be used in the U.S. without incurring significant additional U.S. taxes. We expect to meet our U.S. funding needs without repatriating undistributed profits that are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S.
 
BORROWINGS
Borrowings consist primarily of medium-term notes and commercial paper, the combination of which is used to manage interest rate risk and funding requirements.


We receive debt ratings from the major credit rating agencies. Moody’s long- and short-term ratings of our debt isare A3 and Prime-2, while Fitch and S&P maintain a “mid-A”"mid-A" debt rating. This split rating has not had a material impact on our borrowing costs or our overall financial health. However, a downgrade of our credit ratings by any of the major credit rating agencies would result in increased borrowing costs and could make access to certain credit markets more difficult. In the event economic conditions deteriorate such that access to debt markets becomes unavailable, we would rely on cash flows from our existing portfolio, existing cash balances, access to our revolvingcommitted credit facilities and other credit line facilities, commercial paper support facilities sponsored by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada, and potential borrowings from Caterpillar. In addition, Caterpillar maintains a support agreement with us, which requires Caterpillar to remain our sole owner and may, under certain circumstances, require Caterpillar to make payments to us should we fail to maintain certain financial ratios.


Total borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 20192020 were $29.55$27.01 billion, a decrease of $511 million$2.10 billion over December 31, 2018.2019 due to lower portfolio funding requirements. Outstanding borrowings were as follows:

Information on our Credit Facility is as follows:


In September 2019,2020, we entered into a new 364-day facility. The 364-day facility of $3.15 billion (of which $2.33 billion is available to us) expires in September 2020.2021.

In the event that either Caterpillar or we do not meet one or more of our 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 our 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.

Impact from COVID-19 on liquidity

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 global pandemic, we continue to take actions to maintain our strong financial position and increase liquidity. In April 2020, we registered for $4.2 billion in commercial paper support programs now available in the United States and Canada. In addition, we also benefited from the incremental $3.9 billion short-term credit facility that was arranged by Caterpillar which was set to expire on December 31, 2020. Due to our strong liquidity position, the $3.9 billion short-term credit facility was early terminated by Caterpillar on September 2, 2020. We have not made any drawings on our existing global credit facilities nor do we have any outstanding borrowings under either commercial paper support program as of the date of this filing. In addition, during the third quarter of 2020, we issued $3.25 billion of medium-term notes to refinance maturing medium-term notes and supplement our liquidity position.


OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have potential payment exposure for guarantees issued to third parties totaling $84$37 million as of September 30, 2019.2020.


CASH FLOWS
Operating cash flow was $954$930 million in the first nine months of 2019,2020, compared with $882$954 million for the same period in 2018.2019. Net cash provided by investing activities was $84 million$1.14 billion for the first nine months of 2019,2020, compared with net cash used for investing activities of $1.77 billion$84 million for the same period in 2018.2019. The change was primarily due to the impact of Caterpillar purchased receivables and higher collections of finance receivables.receivables and other portfolio related activity. Net cash used for financing activities was $432 million$2.07 billion for the first nine months of 2019,2020, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $848$432 million for the same period in 2018.2019. The change was primarily due to lower portfolio funding requirements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
For a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2018 Annual Report on2019 Form 10-K. ThereWe have beenrevised the following critical accounting policy since our 2019 Form 10-K:

Allowance for credit losses
The allowance for credit losses is management’s estimate of expected losses over the life of our finance receivable portfolio calculated using loss forecast models that take into consideration historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions and forecasts and scenarios that capture country and industry-specific economic factors. In addition, qualitative factors not able to be fully captured in our loss forecast models, including borrower-specific and company-specific macro-economic factors, are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist and on an individual basis when it is determined that similar risk characteristics do not exist. Finance receivables are identified for individual evaluation based on past-due status and 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 our customers operate. The allowance for credit losses attributable to finance receivables that are individually evaluated is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivables' effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent receivables or the observable market price of the receivable.  In determining collateral value, we estimate the current fair market value of the collateral less selling costs. We also consider credit enhancements such as additional collateral and contractual third-party guarantees.

While management believes it has exercised prudent judgment and applied reasonable assumptions, there can be no significantassurance that in the future, changes in economic conditions or other factors would not cause changes in the financial health of our customers. If the financial health of our customers deteriorates, the timing and level of payments received could be impacted and therefore, could result in a change to our critical accounting policies since our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.estimated losses.
