NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Overview

Cummins Inc. (“Cummins,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was founded in 1919 as Cummins Engine Company, a corporation in Columbus, Indiana, and one of the first diesel engine manufacturers. In 2001, we changed our name to Cummins Inc. We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel, natural gas, electric and hybrid powertrains and powertrain-related components including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, automated transmissions, electric power generation systems, batteries, electrified power systems, hydrogen production and fuel cell products. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, dealers and other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a network of over 500 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and over 9,000 Cummins certified dealer locations with service to approximately 190 countries and territories.

Interim Condensed Financial Statements

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

These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our interim period financial results for the three and six month periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all required annual disclosures.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts for prior year periods were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

Preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts presented and disclosed in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgment. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.

Reporting Period

Our reporting period usually ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period. The second quarters of 2021 and 2020 ended on July 4 and June 28, respectively. Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding

The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding exclude the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options. The options excluded from diluted earnings per share were as follows:

NOTE 2. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Long-term Contracts

The majority of our contracts are for a period of less than one year. We have certain long-term maintenance agreements, construction contracts and extended warranty coverage arrangements that span a period in excess of one year. The aggregate amount of the transaction price for long-term maintenance agreements and construction contracts allocated to performance obligations that were not satisfied as of July 4, 2021, was $812 million. We expect to recognize the related revenue of $164 million over the next 12 months and $648 million over periods up to 10 years. See Note 10, "PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY," for additional disclosures on extended warranty coverage arrangements. Our other contracts generally are for a duration of less than one year, include payment terms that correspond to the timing of costs incurred when providing goods and services to our customers or represent sales-based royalties.

Deferred and Unbilled Revenue

The following is a summary of our unbilled and deferred revenue and related activity:


In millions	July 4, 2021		December 31, 2020
Unbilled revenue	$	109	$	114
Deferred revenue, primarily extended warranty	1,633		1,531

We recognized revenue of $126 million and $280 million for the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, compared with $94 million and $206 million for the comparable periods in 2020, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each year. We did not record any impairment losses on our unbilled revenues during the three and six months ended July 4, 2021 or June 28, 2020.

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, were 21.4 percent and 21.7 percent, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 28, 2020, were 25.7 percent and 21.6 percent, respectively.

The three months ended July 4, 2021, contained unfavorable discrete items of $7 million, primarily due to a $10 million unfavorable statutory change in tax rates, mostly in the UK, partially offset by $3 million of other favorable discrete items.

The six months ended July 4, 2021, contained unfavorable discrete items of $3 million, primarily due to a $10 million unfavorable statutory change in tax rates, mostly in the UK, partially offset by $7 million of other favorable discrete items.

The three months ended June 28, 2020, contained unfavorable discrete items of $14 million, primarily due to changes in tax reserves on certain U.S. tax matters.

The six months ended June 28, 2020, contained $4 million of favorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to the India Tax Law Change passed in March of 2020, partially offset by unfavorable changes in tax reserves in the second quarter of 2020. See Note 4, "INCOME TAXES," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K for additional information on India Tax Law Changes.

(1) Unrealized gains and losses for debt securities are recorded in other comprehensive income while unrealized gains and losses for equity securities are recorded in "Other income, net" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

All debt securities are classified as available-for-sale. All marketable securities presented use a Level 2 fair value measure. The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated using actively quoted prices for similar instruments from brokers and observable inputs where available, including market transactions and third-party pricing services, or net asset values provided to investors. We do not currently have any Level 3 securities, and there were no transfers between Level 2 or 3 during the six months ended July 4, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020.

A description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for our Level 2 fair value measures is as follows:

•Debt mutual funds — The fair value measures for the vast majority of these investments are the daily net asset values published on a regulated governmental website. Daily quoted prices are available from the issuing brokerage and are used on a test basis to corroborate this Level 2 input measure.

•Certificates of deposit — These investments provide us with a contractual rate of return and generally range in maturity from three months to five years. The counterparties to these investments are reputable financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Since these instruments are not tradable and must be settled directly by us with the respective financial institution, our fair value measure is the financial institution's month-end statement.

•Equity mutual funds — The fair value measures for these investments are the net asset values published by the issuing brokerage. Daily quoted prices are available from reputable third-party pricing services and are used on a test basis to corroborate this Level 2 input measure.

•Debt securities — The fair value measures for these securities are broker quotes received from reputable firms. These securities are infrequently traded on a national exchange and these values are used on a test basis to corroborate our Level 2 input measure.

Loans payable (1)	$	54		$	169

Commercial paper	200		(2)	323		(3)




(1) Loans payable consist primarily of notes payable to various domestic and international financial institutions. It is not practicable to aggregate these notes and calculate a quarterly weighted-average interest rate.
(2) The weighted-average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was 0.12 percent at July 4, 2021 and included $200 million of borrowings under the U.S. program.
(3) The weighted-average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was negative 0.01 percent at December 31, 2020 and included $123 million of borrowings under the EUR program that were negative 0.34 percent and $200 million of borrowings under the U.S. program at 0.19 percent.

Revolving Credit Facilities

We have access to committed credit facilities that total $3.5 billion, including the $1.5 billion 364-day facility that expires August 18, 2021 and our $2.0 billion five-year facility that expires on August 22, 2023. We maintain credit facilities at the current or higher aggregate amounts by renewing or replacing these facilities at or before expiration. These revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at July 4, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

At July 4, 2021, the $200 million of outstanding commercial paper effectively reduced the $3.5 billion of revolving credit capacity to $3.3 billion.

At July 4, 2021, we also had an additional $243 million available for borrowings under our international and other domestic credit facilities.

Engine System Campaign Accrual

During 2017, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) selected certain of our pre-2013 model year engine systems for additional emissions testing. Some of these engine systems failed CARB and EPA tests as a result of degradation of an aftertreatment component. In the second quarter of 2018, we reached agreement with the CARB and EPA regarding our plans to address the affected populations. From the fourth quarter of 2017 through the second quarter of 2018, we recorded charges for the expected costs of field campaigns to repair these engine systems.

The campaigns launched in the third quarter of 2018 are being completed in phases across the affected population. The total engine system campaign charge, excluding supplier recoveries, was $410 million. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we recorded an additional $20 million charge related to this campaign, as a change in estimate, to bring the total campaign, excluding supplier recoveries, to $430 million. At July 4, 2021, the remaining accrual balance was $109 million.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

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

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

On April 29, 2019, we announced that we were conducting a formal internal review of our emissions certification process and compliance with emission standards for our pick-up truck applications, following conversations with the EPA and CARB regarding certification of our engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks. This review is being conducted with external advisors to ensure the certification and compliance processes for all of our pick-up truck applications are consistent with our internal policies, engineering standards and applicable laws. In addition, we voluntarily disclosed our formal internal review to the regulators and to other government agencies, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the SEC, and worked cooperatively with them to ensure a complete and thorough review. We fully cooperated with the DOJ's and the SEC's information requests and inquiries and, based on recent communications with these agencies, we do not expect further inquiries. During conversations with the EPA and CARB about the effectiveness of our pick-up truck applications, the regulators raised concerns that certain aspects of our emissions systems may reduce the effectiveness of our emissions control systems and thereby act as defeat devices. As a result, our internal review focuses, in part, on the regulators’ concerns. We are working closely with the regulators to enhance our emissions systems to improve the effectiveness of all of our pick-up truck applications and to fully address the regulators’ requirements. Based on discussions with the regulators, we have developed a new calibration for the engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks that has been included in all engines shipped since September 2019. During our discussions, the regulators have asked us to look at other model years and other engines. Due to the continuing nature of our formal review, our ongoing cooperation with our regulators and the presence of many unknown facts and circumstances, we cannot predict the final outcome of this review and these regulatory processes, and we cannot provide assurance that the matter will not have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

Guarantees and Commitments

Periodically, we enter into guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financings, residual value guarantees on equipment under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of joint ventures or third-party obligations. At July 4, 2021, the maximum potential loss related to these guarantees was $35 million.

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. At July 4, 2021, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $115 million. These arrangements enable us to secure supplies of critical components and IT services. We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.

We enter into physical forward contracts with suppliers of platinum and palladium to purchase certain volumes of the commodities at contractually stated prices for various periods, which generally fall within two years. At July 4, 2021, the total commitments under these contracts were $102 million. These arrangements enable us to guarantee the prices of these commodities, which otherwise are subject to market volatility.

We have guarantees with certain customers that require us to satisfactorily honor contractual or regulatory obligations, or compensate for monetary losses related to nonperformance. These performance bonds and other performance-related guarantees were $102 million at July 4, 2021.

Table of Contents

Indemnifications

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

•product liability and license, patent or trademark indemnifications;

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

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

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

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

Our reportable operating segments consist of Engine, Distribution, Components, Power Systems and New Power. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and smaller) and associated parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various off-highway markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, agriculture, power generation systems and other off-highway applications. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers, electronics, fuel systems and automated transmissions. The Power Systems segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and sells engines (16 liters and larger) for industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas, marine and rail), standby and prime power generator sets, alternators and other power components. The New Power segment designs, manufactures, sells and supports hydrogen production solutions as well as electrified power systems ranging from fully electric to hybrid along with innovative components and subsystems, including battery and fuel cell technologies. We continue to serve all our markets as they adopt electrification and alternative power technologies, meeting the needs of our OEM partners and end customers.

We use segment earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA) as the primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable operating segments. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments.

The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepared the financial results of our operating segments on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which we internally disaggregate financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions. We allocate certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments differently than we would for stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal, finance and supply chain management. We do not allocate gains or losses of corporate owned life insurance to individual segments. EBITDA may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Overview

We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel, natural gas, electric and hybrid powertrains and powertrain-related components including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, automated transmissions, electric power generation systems, batteries, electrified power systems, hydrogen production and fuel cell products. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, dealers and other customers worldwide. We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc, Navistar International Corporation, Daimler Trucks North America and Stellantis N.V. We serve our customers through a network of over 500 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and over 9,000 Cummins certified dealer locations with service to approximately 190 countries and territories.

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

2021 Quarter-to-Date and Year-to-Date Results

A summary of our results is as follows:


	Three months ended				Six months ended
In millions, except per share amounts	July 4, 2021		June 28, 2020		July 4, 2021		June 28, 2020
Net sales	$	6,111	$	3,852	$	12,203	$	8,863

Earnings per common share attributable to Cummins Inc.
Basic	$	4.14	$	1.87	$	8.24	$	5.30
Diluted	4.10		1.86		8.16		5.29

Our results for the first half of 2020 were significantly impacted by COVID-19 and other targeted shut-downs, which began in late March 2020 in response to both customer plant closures and government actions to slow the spread of the virus. Plants closed in China during the first quarter of 2020 were reopened in late March 2020; however, additional plants and distribution locations around the world were shut down or working at reduced capacities early in the second quarter of 2020. Although these actions did not have a material effect on our results of operations in the first quarter, these actions materially impacted our second quarter results in 2020.

Worldwide revenues increased 59 percent in the three months ended July 4, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, due to higher demand in all operating segments and all geographic regions due to an improved economic environment and lessening effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. Net sales in the U.S. and Canada improved 74 percent, primarily due to increased demand in North American on-highway markets, which also positively impacted all components businesses. International demand (excludes the U.S. and Canada) improved 42 percent, with higher sales in all geographic regions. The increase in international sales was principally due to higher demand in all components businesses (primarily in Western Europe, India and Latin America), all distribution product lines, power generation equipment and industrial engines (especially mining). Favorable foreign currency fluctuations impacted international sales by 6 percent (primarily the Chinese renminbi, Euro, Australian dollar and British pound). Our industry continues to be unfavorably impacted by supply chain constraints, primarily semiconductor chips, which are limiting our collective ability to meet end-user demand.

Worldwide revenues increased 38 percent in the six months ended July 4, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, as we experienced higher demand in all operating segments and all geographic regions due to an improved economic environment and lessening effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. Net sales in the U.S. and Canada improved 33 percent, primarily due to increased demand in North American on-highway markets, which also positively impacted all components businesses. International demand (excludes the U.S. and Canada) improved by 44 percent, with higher sales in all geographic regions. The increase in international sales was principally due to higher demand in all components businesses (primarily in China, India and Western Europe), all distribution product lines and power generation equipment. Favorable foreign currency fluctuations impacted international sales by 4 percent (primarily the Chinese renminbi, Euro, Australian dollar and British pound, partially offset by the Brazilian real). Our industry continues to be unfavorably impacted by supply chain constraints, primarily semiconductor chips, which are limiting our collective ability to meet end-user demand.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $600 million, or $4.10 per diluted share, on sales of $6.1 billion for the three months ended July 4, 2021, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins of $276 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, on sales of $3.9 billion. The increases in net income and earnings per diluted share were driven by higher net sales, increased gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales, higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees (primarily in China and India) and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher overall compensation and incremental costs associated with supply chain constraints. The increases in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales were primarily due to higher volumes and improved pricing, partially offset by higher overall compensation, higher premium freight costs due to supply chain constraints and rising commodity costs. Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended July 4, 2021, benefited $0.04 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding due to the stock repurchase program.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $1,203 million, or $8.16 per diluted share, on sales of $12.2 billion for the six months ended July 4, 2021, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins of $787 million, or $5.29 per diluted share, on sales of $8.9 billion. The increases in net income and earnings per diluted share were driven by higher net sales, increased gross margin and higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees (primarily in China due to stronger demand for trucks and construction equipment), partially offset by higher overall compensation, incremental costs associated with supply chain constraints and mark-to-market losses on corporate owned life insurance. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher volumes and improved pricing, partially offset by higher overall compensation expenses, increased premium freight costs due to supply chain constraints and rising commodity costs. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to higher overall compensation, increased premium freight costs due to supply chain constraints and rising commodity costs. Diluted earnings per

Table of Contents

common share for the six months ended July 4, 2021, benefited $0.10 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding due to the stock repurchase program.

Gross margin, selling, general and administrative and research development and engineering expenses increased due to higher compensation costs (primarily driven by higher variable compensation and the restoration of 2020 salary reductions), which impacted all of our reporting segments for the three and six months ended July 4, 2021.

We generated $955 million of cash from operations for the six months ended July 4, 2021, compared to $357 million for the comparable period in 2020. Refer to the section titled "Cash Flows" in the "LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES" section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.

Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at July 4, 2021, was 30.9 percent, compared to 31.7 percent at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to $233 million of lower debt balances since December 31, 2020. At July 4, 2021, we had $2.9 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand and access to our $3.5 billion credit facilities, if necessary, to meet currently anticipated working capital, investment and funding needs.

In the first six months of 2021, we purchased $1,090 million, or 4.4 million shares of our common stock.

In July 2021, the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 7.4 percent from $1.35 per share to $1.45 per share.

In the first six months of 2021, the investment gain on our U.S. pension trust was 5.2 percent while our U.K. pension trust loss was 1.5 percent. During the remainder of 2021, we anticipate making $10 million in additional defined benefit pension contributions in the U.K. and $9 million in contributions to our U.S. non-qualified benefit plans. We expect our 2021 annual net periodic pension cost to approximate $79 million.

As of the date of this filing, our credit ratings and outlooks from the credit rating agencies remain unchanged.

Equity, Royalty and Interest Income from Investees

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees increased $22 million for the three months ended July 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to increased earnings at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. and Tata Cummins Ltd.

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees increased $59 million for the six months ended July 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to higher earnings at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., Tata Cummins Ltd. (excluding the 2020 benefits noted below) and Guangxi Cummins Industrial Power Co. These increases were partially offset by the absence of a $37 million favorable adjustment ($18 million of which related to Tata Cummins Ltd.) as the result of tax changes within India's 2020-2021 Union Budget of India (India Tax Law Changes) passed in March 2020 and $18 million of technology fee revenue related to Tata Cummins Ltd., both recorded in the first quarter of 2020.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate for 2021 is expected to approximate 21.5 percent (lowered one percentage point), excluding any discrete items that may arise.

The three months ended June 28, 2020, contained unfavorable discrete items of $14 million, primarily due to changes in tax reserves on certain U.S. tax matters.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to non-Cummins ownership interests in our consolidated entities. Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, increased $19 million and $10 million, respectively, versus the comparable periods in 2020. The increase for the three months ended July 4, 2021, was primarily due to higher earnings at Cummins India Limited and Eaton Cummins Joint Venture. The increase for the six months ended July 4, 2021, is principally due to higher earnings at Cummins India Limited and Eaton Cummins Joint Venture, partially offset by the absence of a $19 million unfavorable adjustment as the results of India Tax Law Changes passed in March 2020. See Note 4, "INCOME TAXES," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K for additional information on India Tax Law Changes.

Net Income Attributable to Cummins Inc. and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share Attributable to Cummins Inc.

Net income and diluted earnings per common share attributable to Cummins Inc. for the three months ended July 4, 2021, increased $324 million and $2.24 per diluted share versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to higher net sales, increased gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales, higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees (primarily in China and India) and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher overall compensation and incremental costs associated with supply chain constraints. Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended July 4, 2021, benefited $0.04 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding due to the stock repurchase program.

Table of Contents

Net income and diluted earnings per common share attributable to Cummins Inc. for the six months ended July 4, 2021, increased $416 million and $2.87 per diluted share versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to higher net sales, increased gross margin and higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees (primarily in China due to stronger demand for trucks and construction equipment), partially offset by higher overall compensation, incremental costs associated with supply chain constraints and mark-to-market losses on corporate owned life insurance. Diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended July 4, 2021, benefited $0.10 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding due to the stock repurchase program.

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS

Our reportable operating segments consist of the Engine, Distribution, Components, Power Systems and New Power segments. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. We use segment EBITDA as a primary basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable operating segments. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments. See Note 13, "OPERATING SEGMENTS," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information and a reconciliation of our segment information to the corresponding amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

Following is a discussion of results for each of our operating segments.

Segment EBITDA

Components segment EBITDA for the three months ended July 4, 2021, increased $160 million versus the comparable period in 2020, as higher gross margin was partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and increased research, development and engineering expenses. The increase in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales was mainly due to higher volumes, partially offset by higher overall compensation, increased premium freight due to supply chain constraints and rising commodity costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses and research, development and engineering expenses increased due to higher overall compensation.

Components segment EBITDA for the six months ended July 4, 2021, increased $302 million versus the comparable period in 2020, as higher gross margin was partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, increased research, development and engineering expenses and lower equity, royalty and interest income from investees. The increase in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales was mainly due to higher volumes and favorable mix, partially offset by higher overall compensation, increased premium freight due to supply chain constraints and rising commodity costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses and research, development and engineering expenses increased due to higher overall compensation. The decrease in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was principally due to the absence of a $14 million favorable adjustment related to India Tax Law Changes passed in March 2020 in Fleetguard Filters Private Ltd., partially offset by higher earnings at Fleetguard Filters Private Ltd. (excluding the absence of 2020 tax benefit noted above). See Note 4, "INCOME TAXES," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K for additional information on India Tax Law Changes.

OUTLOOK

COVID-19 Impact

The acceleration of the COVID-19 vaccine distribution around the world is helping curb the spread of the virus and will hopefully allow the majority of our manufacturing facilities to remain open to meet increasing customer demand. While the vaccination effort continues to progress globally, many markets are still dealing with rising cases, new COVID variants and slower vaccination rollout. We continue to take necessary precautions at all our facilities both in the U.S. and abroad to mitigate the spread of the disease and prioritize the health and safety of our employees. While we are optimistic that continued vaccination distribution globally will minimize the impacts of the virus, there is still a risk of increased cases or new virus variants resulting in lower customer demand, additional facility shutdowns or supply chain constraints in the future.

In March 2021, we gained approval as a COVID-19 vaccine administrator at several U.S. sites and began offering the vaccine to our employees and their families at certain facilities in the U.S. During the second quarter of 2021, we received approval and began providing vaccines to our employees in other international locations as allowed. We continue to collaborate with health officials around the world to provide employees with access to COVID-19 vaccines. That work differs geographically due to the variability in vaccine accessibility and distribution. Our global network of medical professionals is always focused on efforts to ensure the safety of all Cummins employees, their families and our communities.

Business Outlook

Our outlook reflects the following positive trends and challenges to our business for the remainder of 2021.

Positive Trends

•We expect demand for pick-up trucks in North America to remain strong.

•We estimate North American medium-duty and heavy-duty truck demand will continue to improve from 2020 levels.

•We believe market demand for trucks in India will improve from 2020 levels.

•We anticipate our aftermarket business will continue to improve, driven primarily by increased truck utilization in North America.

•Our liquidity of $6.2 billion in cash, marketable securities and available credit facilities strengthens our position to deal with any uncertainties that may arise in the remainder of 2021.

Challenges

•Supply constraints driven by strong demand in multiple end markets and regions may lead to increased costs, including higher premium freight.

•Continued increases in material and commodity costs could negatively impact earnings.

•The shortage of key components, such as semiconductor chips, may lead to manufacturing delays, increased costs and the loss of sales.

•We expect market demand in truck and construction markets in China to decline from record levels in 2020.

•We may close or restructure certain manufacturing and distribution facilities as we evaluate the appropriate size and structure of our manufacturing and distribution capacity, which could result in additional charges.

Separation of Filtration Business

On August 3, 2021, we announced our exploration of strategic alternatives for our filtration business. Potential strategic alternatives to be explored include the separation of our filtration business into a stand-alone company. The execution of this exploration process is dependent upon business and market conditions, along with a number of other factors and considerations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Key Working Capital and Balance Sheet Data

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


Dollars in millions	July 4, 2021			December 31, 2020
Working capital (1)	$	5,327		$	5,562
Current ratio	1.81			1.88
Accounts and notes receivable, net	$	4,132		$	3,820
Days' sales in receivables	59			69
Inventories	$	4,076		$	3,425
Inventory turnover	4.8			4.2
Accounts payable (principally trade)	$	3,172		$	2,820
Days' payable outstanding	57			68
Total debt	$	3,931		$	4,164
Total debt as a percent of total capital	30.9		%	31.7		%

(1) Working capital includes cash and cash equivalents.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents were impacted as follows:


	Six months ended
In millions	July 4, 2021		June 28, 2020		Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	955	$	357	$	598
Net cash used in investing activities	(146)		(234)		88
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(1,722)		460		(2,182)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(7)		39		(46)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(920)	$	622	$	(1,542)

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $598 million for the six months ended July 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to higher consolidated net income of $426 million and lower working capital requirements of $170 million. During the first six months of 2021, the lower working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $431 million compared to a cash outflow of $601 million in the comparable period in 2020, mainly due to higher accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by higher accounts and notes receivable, inventories and other current assets.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $88 million for the six months ended July 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to higher net liquidations of marketable securities of $50 million, changes in cash flows from derivatives not designated as hedges of $34 million, lower investments in and advances to equity investees of $27 million and proceeds from sale of land of $20 million, partially offset by higher capital expenditures of $60 million.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $2,182 million for the six months ended July 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to lower net borrowings of commercial paper of $1,490 million, higher repurchases of common stock of $540 million and higher net payments under short-term credit agreements of $106 million.

The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended July 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020, decreased $46 million primarily due to unfavorable fluctuations in the British pound of $57 million, partially offset by favorable fluctuations in the Chinese renminbi.

Sources of Liquidity

Cash provided by operations is typically our principal source of liquidity with $955 million generated in the six months ended July 4, 2021. Our sources of liquidity include:


	July 4, 2021
In millions	Total		U.S.		International		Primary location of international balances
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,481	$	1,006	$	1,475	Singapore, China, Belgium, Mexico, Australia, Canada

Marketable securities (1)	438		94		344		India
Total	$	2,919	$	1,100	$	1,819
Available credit capacity
Revolving credit facilities (2)	$	3,300
International and other uncommitted domestic credit facilities	$	243




(1) The majority of marketable securities could be liquidated into cash within a few days.
(2) The five-year credit facility for $2.0 billion and the 364-day credit facility for $1.5 billion, maturing August 2023 and August 2021, respectively, are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. At July 4, 2021, we had $200 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced the available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $3.3 billion.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

A significant portion of our cash flow is generated outside the U.S. We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. As a result, we do not anticipate any local liquidity restrictions to preclude us from funding our operating needs with local resources.

If we distribute our foreign cash balances to the U.S. or to other foreign subsidiaries, we could be required to accrue and pay withholding taxes, for example, if we repatriated cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings we asserted are completely or partially permanently reinvested. Foreign earnings for which we assert permanent reinvestment outside the U.S. consist primarily of earnings of our China, India and Netherlands domiciled subsidiaries. At present, we do not foresee a need to repatriate any earnings for which we asserted permanent reinvestment. However, to help fund cash needs of the U.S. or other international subsidiaries as they arise, we repatriate available cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings are not permanently reinvested when it is cost effective to do so.

Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity

We can issue up to $3.5 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized commercial paper programs. The programs facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third-party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes. The total combined borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facilities and commercial programs should not exceed $3.5 billion. See Note 9, "DEBT," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

At July 4, 2021, we had $200 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced the available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $3.3 billion.

Supply Chain Financing

We currently have supply chain financing programs with financial intermediaries, which provide certain vendors the option to be paid by financial intermediaries earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. When a vendor utilizes the program and receives an early payment from a financial intermediary, they take a discount on the invoice. We then pay the financial intermediary the face amount of the invoice on the regularly scheduled due date. We do not reimburse vendors for any costs they incur for participation in

Table of Contents

the program and their participation is completely voluntary. As a result, all amounts owed to the financial intermediaries are presented as "Accounts payable" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Uses of Cash

Stock Repurchases

In December 2019, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2018 repurchase plan. In the first six months of 2021, we made the following purchases under the 2019 stock repurchase program:


In millions, except per share amounts	Shares Purchased	Average Cost Per Share		Total Cost of Repurchases		Remaining Authorized Capacity (1)

April 4	1.7	$	247.35	$	418	$	1,576
July 4	2.7	252.66		672		904


Total	4.4	250.60		$	1,090

(1) The remaining authorized capacity under these plans was calculated based on the cost to purchase the shares but excludes commission expenses in accordance with the authorized plan.

We intend to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during 2021 to enhance shareholder value.

Dividends

In July 2021, the Board authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 7.4 percent from $1.35 per share to $1.45 per share.

We paid dividends of $394 million during the six months ended July 4, 2021.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures, including spending on internal use software, for the six months ended July 4, 2021, were $234 million versus $173 million in the comparable period in 2020. We plan to spend an estimated $725 million to $775 million in 2021 on capital expenditures, excluding internal use software, with over 50 percent of these expenditures expected to be invested in North America. In addition, we plan to spend an estimated $60 million to $70 million on internal use software in 2021.

Current Maturities of Short and Long-Term Debt

We had $200 million of commercial paper outstanding at July 4, 2021, that matures in less than one year. The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not require significant cash outflows until 2023 when our 3.65% senior notes are due. Required annual long-term debt principal payments range from $30 million to $535 million over the next five years (including the remainder of 2021). See Note 9, "DEBT," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Pensions

Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 112 percent funded at December 31, 2020. Our U.S. defined benefit plan, which represented approximately 52 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, was 128 percent funded, and our U.K. defined benefit plan was 114 percent funded at December 31, 2020. The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon a variety of variables and assumptions including return on invested assets, market interest rates and levels of voluntary contributions to the plans. In the first six months of 2021, the investment gain on our U.S. pension trust was 5.2 percent while our U.K. pension trust loss was 1.5 percent. Approximately 70 percent of our pension plan assets are held in highly liquid investments such as fixed income and equity securities. The remaining 30 percent of our plan assets are held in less liquid, but market valued investments, including real estate, private equity, venture capital, opportunistic credit and insurance contracts. During the remainder of 2021, we anticipate making $10 million in additional defined benefit pension contributions in the U.K. and $9 million in contributions to our U.S. non-qualified benefit plans. These contributions may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants. We expect our 2021 annual net periodic pension cost to approximate $79 million.

Management's Assessment of Liquidity

Our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Our solid balance sheet and credit ratings enable us to have ready access to credit and the capital markets. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate adequate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. We believe our existing cash and marketable securities, operating cash flow and revolving credit facilities provide us with the financial flexibility needed to fund common stock repurchases, dividend payments, targeted capital expenditures, projected pension obligations, acquisitions, working capital and debt service obligations through 2021 and beyond. We continue to generate significant cash from operations and maintain access to our expanded revolving credit facilities and commercial paper programs as noted above.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, “SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K, which discusses accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that often require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Management reviews these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in business conditions including the impacts of COVID-19 and other relevant factors they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In any given reporting period, our actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

A discussion of our critical accounting estimates may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of our 2020 Form 10-K under the caption “APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES.” Within the context of these critical accounting estimates, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in different policies or estimates being reported in the first six months of 2021.

(1) Shares purchased represent shares under the Board authorized share repurchase program.
(2) Shares repurchased under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan only occur in the event of a participant default, which cannot be predicted, and were excluded from this column.

In December 2019, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2018 repurchase plan. During the three months ended July 4, 2021, we repurchased $672 million of common stock under the 2019 authorization. The dollar value remaining available for future purchases under the 2019 program at July 4, 2021, was $904 million.

Our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. We hold participants’ shares as security for the loans and would, in effect, repurchase shares only if the participant defaulted in repayment of the loan. Shares associated with participants' sales are sold as open-market transactions via a third-party broker.
