1.Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of (a) the consolidated profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, (b) the consolidated comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, (c) the consolidated financial position at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, (d) the consolidated changes in shareholder’s equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and (e) the consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Significant estimates include residual values for leased assets, allowance for credit losses and income taxes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (2021 Form 10-K). The December 31, 2021 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

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 7 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. Credit risk was evaluated and reflected in our financial statements as part of our overall portfolio of finance receivables and related allowance for credit losses.

2.New Accounting Pronouncements

A.Adoption of New Accounting Standards

We consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). We adopted the following ASU effective January 1, 2022, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements:

ASU	Description
2021-05	Lessor – Variable lease payments

B.Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

Credit Losses (ASU 2022-02) – In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance related to Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) by Creditors and Vintage Disclosures for Gross Write-offs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We are evaluating the new guidance and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on 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.

3.Finance Receivables

A summary of finance receivables included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position was as follows:

(Millions of dollars)	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Retail loans, net(1)	$	15,050	$	14,817
Retail leases, net	7,625		7,818
Caterpillar purchased receivables, net	4,647		4,462
Wholesale loans, net(1)	380		406
Wholesale leases, net	10		11
Total finance receivables	27,712		27,514
Less: Allowance for credit losses	(357)		(337)
Total finance receivables, net	$	27,355	$	27,177

(1) Includes failed sale leasebacks.

Finance leases

Revenues from finance leases were $112 million and $122 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in retail and wholesale finance revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Profit. The residual values for finance leases are included in Finance receivables, net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Residual value adjustments are recognized through a reduction of finance revenue over the remaining lease term.

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 follows:

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 50 months with an average remaining term of approximately 27 months as of March 31, 2022.

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 and our estimated loss given default based on past loss experience adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts capturing country and industry-specific economic factors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our forecasts for the markets in which we operate reflected a continuation of the trend of a growing economy, improved unemployment rates and relatively low delinquencies. However, an increase in inflation, exacerbated by an increase in commodity prices, dampened the expectations of global economic growth. 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, we provide a variety of secured and unsecured loans to Caterpillar dealers.

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

10

UNAUDITED

In general, our Dealer portfolio segment has not historically experienced large increases or decreases in credit losses based on changes in economic conditions 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 months ended March 31, 2022.

Caterpillar Purchased Receivables

We purchase receivables from Caterpillar, primarily related to the sale of equipment and parts to dealers. Caterpillar purchased receivables are non-interest-bearing short-term trade receivables that are purchased at a discount.

We estimate the allowance for credit losses for Caterpillar purchased receivables based on historical loss rates with consideration of current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

In general, our Caterpillar Purchased Receivables portfolio segment has not historically experienced large increases or decreases in credit losses based on changes in economic conditions due to the short-term maturities of the receivables, our close working relationships with the dealers and their financial strength. Therefore, we made no adjustments to historical loss rates during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

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. 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.

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

(Millions of dollars)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2022								Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Allowance for Credit Losses:	Customer		Dealer		Caterpillar Purchased Receivables		Total		Customer		Dealer		Caterpillar Purchased Receivables		Total

(1) The three months ended March 31, 2022 included a higher reserve for the Russia and Ukraine portfolios.

Credit quality of finance receivables

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

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

Non-accrual finance receivables

Recognition of income is suspended and the finance receivable is placed on non-accrual status when management determines that collection of future income is not probable. Contracts on non-accrual status are generally more than 120 days past due or have been restructured in a TDR. Recognition is resumed and previously suspended income is recognized when collection is considered probable. Payments received while the finance receivable is on non-accrual status are applied to interest and principal in accordance with the contractual terms. Interest earned but uncollected prior to the receivable being placed on non-accrual status is written off through Provision for credit losses when, in the judgment of management, it is considered uncollectible.

There was $1 million and $3 million of interest income recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for customer finance receivables on non-accrual status.

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

Troubled debt restructurings

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

There were no finance receivables modified as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 for the Dealer or Caterpillar Purchased Receivables portfolio segments. Finance receivables in the Customer portfolio segment modified as TDRs were as follows:

4.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 prudently 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. We 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.

All derivatives are recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at their fair value. 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. We record in current earnings changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged recognized asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk. We record in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge, to the extent effective, on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position until we reclassify them to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. We report changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments in current earnings. We classify cash flows from designated derivative financial instruments within the same category as the item being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We include cash flows from undesignated derivative financial instruments 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 the 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.

16

UNAUDITED

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

The location and fair value of derivative instruments reported in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position were as follows:

The total notional amount of our derivative instruments was $13.42 billion and $13.85 billion as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The notional amounts of derivative financial instruments do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. We calculate the amounts exchanged by the parties by referencing the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivatives, such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

As of March 31, 2022, $10 million of deferred net gains, net of tax, included in equity (AOCI in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position), related to our cash flow hedges, are expected to be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months. The actual amount recorded in earnings will vary based on interest rates and exchange rates at the time the hedged transactions impact earnings.

We enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no cash collateral was received or pledged under the master netting agreements.

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

6.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 and services and vehicles, power generation facilities and marine vessels that, in most cases, incorporate Caterpillar products. Financing products include operating and finance leases, 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.

•Mining - Provides financing for large mining customers worldwide.

•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.

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 7 for additional information) and other miscellaneous items.

•Timing - Timing differences in the recognition of costs between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.

•Methodology - Methodology differences between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting are as follows:

◦Segment assets include off-balance sheet managed assets for which we maintain servicing responsibilities.

◦The impact of differences between the actual leverage and the segment leverage ratios.

◦Interest expense includes realized forward points on foreign currency forward contracts.

◦The net gain or loss from interest rate derivatives is excluded from segment reporting.

7.Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Guarantees

We provide credit guarantees and residual value guarantees to third parties for financing and leasing associated with Caterpillar machinery. In addition, we provide standby letters of credit issued to third parties on behalf of our customers. These guarantees and standby letters of credit have varying terms and beneficiaries and are generally secured by customer assets.

No significant loss has been experienced or is anticipated under any of these guarantees. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 $35 million and $36 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

21

UNAUDITED

We provide guarantees to purchase 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 receive a fee for providing this guarantee. 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the SPC’s assets of $839 million and $888 million, 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 $838 million and $888 million, 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

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.

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

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

UNAUDITED

Derivative financial instruments

The fair value of interest rate contracts is primarily based on a standard industry accepted valuation model that utilizes the appropriate market-based forward swap curves and zero-coupon interest rates to determine discounted cash flows. The fair value of foreign currency 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 included in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position in a net asset position of $23 million and $125 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

See Note 4 for additional information.

Loans measured at fair value

Certain loans are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are classified as Level 3 measurements. A loan is measured at fair value when management determines that collection of contractual amounts due is not probable and the loan is individually evaluated. In these cases, an allowance for credit losses may be established based either on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivables’ effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent receivables or the observable market price of the receivable. In determining collateral value, we estimate the current fair market value of the collateral less selling costs. We had loans carried at fair value of $108 million and $100 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

B.Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash and cash equivalents (included in Other Assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position) and Short-term borrowings are classified as Level 1 measurements and carrying amount approximates fair value. We use the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments not carried at fair value:

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

Long-term debt – we estimate fair value for fixed and floating-rate debt based on quoted market prices.

Fair values of our financial instruments not carried at fair value were as follows:

(Millions of dollars)	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Fair Value Levels	Reference
Assets
Finance receivables, net (excluding finance leases(1))	$	19,433	$	19,180	$	19,068	$	19,047	3	Note 3
Liabilities
Long-term debt	$	23,320	$	23,010	$	22,594	$	22,797	2

(1) Represents finance leases and failed sale leasebacks of $7.92 billion and $8.11 billion as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

9.Income Taxes 

The provision for income taxes reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 25 percent in the first quarter of 2022, compared with 27 percent in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in the estimated annual tax rate was primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of profits.

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 2021 Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

We reported first-quarter 2022 revenues of $652 million, an increase of $13 million, or 2 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2021. First-quarter 2022 profit was $143 million, a $3 million, or 2 percent, increase from the first quarter of 2021.

The increase in revenues was primarily due to a $36 million favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment, partially offset by a $29 million unfavorable impact from lower average financing rates.

First-quarter 2022 profit before income taxes was $193 million, a $3 million, or 2 percent, decrease from the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a $37 million increase in provision for credit losses, partially offset by a $36 million favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment. The impact of lower average financing rates was mostly offset by lower interest expense.

The provision for income taxes reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 25 percent in the first quarter of 2022, compared with 27 percent in the first quarter of 2021.

During the first quarter of 2022, retail new business volume was $2.78 billion, a decrease of $30 million, or 1 percent, from the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by lower volume in Asia/Pacific and Mining, partially offset by increases in North America and Latin America.

At the end of the first quarter of 2022, past dues were 2.05 percent, compared with 2.90 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in past dues was mostly driven by the North America, Caterpillar Power Finance and EAME portfolios. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $8 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $24 million for the first quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the allowance for credit losses totaled $357 million, or 1.29 percent of finance receivables, compared with $337 million, or 1.22 percent of finance receivables at December 31, 2021. The increase in allowance for credit losses included a higher reserve for the Russia and Ukraine portfolios.

Global Business Conditions

Caterpillar continues to monitor a variety of external factors including the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world, supply chain disruptions and associated cost and labor pressures. We are monitoring the potential downstream impacts from these factors on our business, while remaining focused on portfolio health and continuing to provide qualified customers and dealers with new loans and leases to support their current and future business needs.

We are closely monitoring the events in Russia and Ukraine and have evaluated our exposure in these countries. We have increased the Allowance for credit losses for our associated portfolios to $32 million due to the increased risk.

Consolidated Total Revenues

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated total revenues between first quarter 2021 (at left) and first quarter 2022 (at right). Items favorably impacting total revenues appear as upward stair steps with corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting total revenues appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar. Management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate results.

Retail revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $290 million, a decrease of $13 million from the same period in 2021. The decrease was mostly due to a $12 million unfavorable impact from lower interest rates on retail finance receivables. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, retail average earning assets were $22.54 billion, a decrease of $87 million from the same period in 2021. The annualized average yield was 5.14 percent for the first quarter of 2022, compared with 5.36 percent for the first quarter of 2021.

Operating lease revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $225 million, a decrease of $19 million from the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a $16 million unfavorable impact from lower average earning assets.

Wholesale revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $84 million, an increase of $6 million from the same period in 2021. The increase was due to a $9 million favorable impact from higher average earning assets, partially offset by a $3 million unfavorable impact from lower interest rates on wholesale finance receivables. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, wholesale average earning assets were $4.63 billion, an increase of $468 million from the same period in 2021. The annualized average yield was 7.25 percent for the first quarter of 2022, compared with 7.51 percent for the first quarter of 2021.

New retail financing decreased primarily due to lower volume in Asia/Pacific and Mining, partially offset by increases in North America and Latin America. New wholesale financing increased primarily due to higher purchases of trade receivables from Caterpillar.

Total Managed Portfolio

We define total portfolio as Finance receivables, net plus Equipment on operating leases, net. We also manage and service receivables and leases that have been sold by us to third parties with limited or no recourse in order to mitigate our concentration of credit risk with certain customers. These assets are not available to pay our creditors. Total managed portfolio was as follows:  

(Millions of dollars)	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021		Change
Finance receivables, net	$	27,355	$	27,177	$	178

Total Portfolio Metrics

At the end of the first quarter of 2022, past dues were 2.05 percent, compared with 2.90 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in past dues was mostly driven by the North America, Caterpillar Power Finance and EAME portfolios. Total non-performing finance receivables, which represent finance receivables currently on non-accrual status, were $289 million and $288 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Total non-performing finance receivables as a percentage of our finance receivables were 1.04 percent and 1.05 percent at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Our allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2022 was $357 million, or 1.29 percent of finance receivables, compared with $337 million, or 1.22 percent, as of December 31, 2021. The increase in allowance for credit losses included a higher reserve for the Russia and Ukraine portfolios. The allowance is subject to an ongoing evaluation based on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including 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 economic forecasts. We believe our allowance is sufficient to provide for losses over the remaining life of our finance receivable portfolio as of March 31, 2022.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

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 first quarter of 2022, we experienced favorable liquidity conditions. We ended the first quarter of 2022 with $664 million of cash, an increase of $54 million from year-end 2021. Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world with approximately $179 million held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. 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, Fitch and S&P maintain a “mid-A” debt rating. A downgrade of our credit ratings by any of the major credit rating agencies would result in increased borrowing costs and could make access to certain credit markets more difficult. In the event economic conditions deteriorate such that access to debt markets becomes unavailable, we would rely on cash flows from our existing portfolio, existing cash balances, access to our committed credit facilities and other credit line facilities, 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 March 31, 2022 were $27.84 billion, a decrease of $168 million over December 31, 2021. Outstanding borrowings were as follows:

(Millions of dollars)	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Medium-term notes, net	$	22,836	$	22,246
Commercial paper, net of unamortized discount	4,044		4,896

Variable denomination floating rate demand notes	274		286
Notes payable to Caterpillar	22		22
Total outstanding borrowings	$	27,843	$	28,011

Medium-term notes

We issue medium-term unsecured notes through securities dealers or underwriters in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, and China to both retail and institutional investors. These notes are offered in several currencies and with a variety of maturities. These notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Medium-term notes issued totaled $2.00 billion and redeemed totaled $1.35 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Medium-term notes, net outstanding as of March 31, 2022 mature as follows:

Commercial paper

We issue unsecured commercial paper in the U.S., Europe and other international capital markets. These short-term promissory notes are issued on a discounted basis and are payable at maturity. As of March 31, 2022, there was $4.04 billion outstanding in commercial paper.

Revolving credit facilities

As of March 31, 2022, we had three global credit facilities with a syndicate of banks totaling $10.50 billion (Credit Facility) available in the aggregate to both Caterpillar and us for general liquidity purposes. Based on management’s allocation decision, which can be revised from time to time, the portion of the Credit Facility available to us as of March 31, 2022 was $7.75 billion. Information on our Credit Facility is as follows:

•The 364-day facility of $3.15 billion (of which $2.33 billion is available to us) expires in September 2022.

•The three-year facility, as amended and restated in September 2021, of $2.73 billion (of which $2.01 billion is available to us) expires in September 2024.

•The five-year facility, as amended and restated in September 2021, of $4.62 billion (of which $3.41 billion is available to us) expires in September 2026. 

At March 31, 2022, Caterpillar’s consolidated net worth was $17.16 billion, which was above the $9.00 billion required under the Credit Facility. The consolidated net worth is defined in the Credit Facility as the consolidated shareholders’ equity including preferred stock but excluding the pension and other postretirement benefits balance within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

At March 31, 2022, our covenant interest coverage ratio was 2.56 to 1. This was above the 1.15 to 1 minimum ratio, calculated as (1) profit excluding income taxes, interest expense and net gain (loss) from interest rate derivatives to (2) interest expense, calculated at the end of each calendar quarter for the rolling four quarter period then most recently ended, required by the Credit Facility.

In addition, at March 31, 2022, our six-month covenant leverage ratio was 7.53 to 1.  This was below the maximum ratio of debt to net worth of 10 to 1, calculated (1) on a monthly basis as the average of the leverage ratios determined on the last day of each of the six preceding calendar months and (2) at each December 31, required by the Credit Facility.

In the event 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. At March 31, 2022, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Bank borrowings

Available credit lines with banks as of March 31, 2022 totaled $3.19 billion. These committed and uncommitted credit lines, which may be eligible for renewal at various future dates or have no specified expiration date, are used primarily by our non-U.S. subsidiaries for local funding requirements. We may guarantee subsidiary borrowings under these lines. As of March 31, 2022, we had $666 million outstanding against these credit lines and were in compliance with all debt covenants under these credit lines. The remaining available credit commitments may be withdrawn any time at the lenders’ discretion.

Variable denomination floating rate demand notes

We obtain funding from the sale of variable denomination floating rate demand notes, which may be redeemed at any time at the option of the holder without any material restriction. We do not hold reserves to fund the payment of the demand notes. The notes are offered on a continuous basis. As of March 31, 2022, there were $274 million of variable denomination floating rate demand notes outstanding. The maximum amount of variable denomination floating rate demand notes that we may have outstanding at any time may not exceed $1.25 billion.

Notes receivable from/payable to Caterpillar

Under our variable amount and term lending agreements and other notes receivable with Caterpillar, we may borrow up to $2.41 billion from Caterpillar and Caterpillar may borrow up to $1.76 billion from us. The variable amount lending agreements are in effect for indefinite periods of time and may be changed or terminated by either party with 30 days notice. The term lending agreements have remaining maturities ranging up to ten years. We had notes payable of $22 million and notes receivable of $475 million outstanding under these agreements as of March 31, 2022.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We are a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements, primarily in the form of guarantees. Please refer to Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

CASH FLOWS

Operating cash flow was $322 million in the first three months of 2022, compared with $335 million for the same period in 2021. Net cash used for investing activities was $133 million for the first three months of 2022, compared with net cash used of $221 million for the same period in 2021. The change was primarily due to portfolio related activity. Net cash used for financing activities was $142 million for the first three months of 2022, compared with net cash provided of $205 million for the same period in 2021. The change was primarily due to lower portfolio funding requirements related to Caterpillar purchased receivables.
