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 (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, (b) the consolidated comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, (c) the consolidated financial position at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, (d) the consolidated changes in shareholder’s equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and (e) the consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. 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, 2023 (2023 Form 10-K). The December 31, 2023 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 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. Please refer to Note 7 for more information. We have customers and dealers that are VIEs of which we are not the primary beneficiary. 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, 2024, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements:
| | | | | |
ASU | Description |
| |
2023-01 | Leases: Common control arrangements |
B. Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Segment reporting (ASU 2023-07) - In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance that requires incremental disclosures related to reportable segments which includes significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. The expanded annual disclosures are effective for our year ending December 31, 2024, and the expanded interim disclosures are effective in 2025 and will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. We are in the process of evaluating the effect of this new guidance on the related disclosures.
Income tax reporting (ASU 2023-09) - In December 2023, the FASB issued accounting guidance to expand the annual disclosure requirements for income taxes, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This guidance is effective January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. This guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are in the process of evaluating the effect of this new guidance on the related disclosures.
All other ASUs issued but not yet adopted were assessed and we determined that they either were not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Finance leases
Revenues from finance leases were $107 million and $104 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $213 million and $208 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and are included in retail and wholesale finance revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Profit (Loss).
A.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. We also provide financing for power generation facilities that, in most cases, incorporate Caterpillar products. The average original term of our customer finance receivable portfolio was approximately 51 months with an average remaining term of approximately 27 months as of June 30, 2024.
We typically maintain a security interest in financed equipment and generally 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 and six months ended June 30, 2024, our forecasts reflected a continuation of the trend of historically low unemployment rates as well as low delinquencies within our portfolio. However, industry delinquencies show an increasing trend as the central bank actions aimed at reducing inflation have weakened 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.
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 and six months ended June 30, 2024.
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 and six months ended June 30, 2024.
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 Eurasia.
•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.
•Power - Finance receivables originated worldwide related to Caterpillar electrical power generation, gas compression and co-generation systems and non-Caterpillar equipment that is powered by these systems.

B.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.

There were no finance receivables in our Dealer portfolio segment on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2024. There were $47 million in finance receivables in our Dealer portfolio segment on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2023, all of which were in Latin America.
Modifications
We periodically modify the terms of our finance receivable agreements. Typically, the types of modifications granted are payment deferrals, interest only payment periods and/or term extensions. Many modifications we grant are for commercial reasons or for borrowers experiencing some form of short-term financial stress and may result in insignificant payment delays. We do not consider these borrowers to be experiencing financial difficulty. Modifications for borrowers we do consider to be experiencing financial difficulty typically result in payment deferrals and/or reduced payments for a period of four months or longer, term extension of six months or longer or a combination of both.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no finance receivable modifications granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the Dealer or Caterpillar Purchased Receivables portfolio segments. The amortized cost basis of finance receivables modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in our Customer portfolio segment during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was $3 million and $22 million, respectively. Total modifications with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty represented 0.02 percent and 0.08 percent of our finance receivable portfolio for the same periods, respectively. The amortized cost basis of finance receivables modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in our Customer portfolio segment during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was $6 million and $30 million, respectively. Total modifications with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty represented 0.03 percent and 0.11 percent of our finance receivable portfolio for the same periods, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the financial effects of term extensions for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty added a weighted average of 13 and 18 months, respectively, to the terms of modified contracts. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the financial effects of term extensions for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty added a weighted average of 11 and 21 months, respectively, to the terms of modified contracts. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the financial effects of payment delays for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty resulted in weighted average payment deferral and/or interest only periods of 6 and 7 months, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the financial effects of payment delays for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty resulted in weighted average payment deferral and/or interest only periods of 8 months.
After we modify a finance receivable, we continue to track its performance under its most recent modified terms. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, defaults of loans modified in the prior twelve months were not significant.
The effect of most modifications made to finance receivables for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses based on the methodologies used to estimate the allowance; therefore, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. On rare occasions when principal forgiveness is provided, the amount forgiven is written off against the allowance for credit losses.
4.Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Our earnings and cash flows 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. We primarily use foreign currency forward, option, and cross currency and interest rate contract derivatives. 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 Board of Directors on our risk management practices, including our use of financial derivative instruments.
We recognize all derivatives at their fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the derivative instrument is (1) designated as a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge), (2) designated as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows (cash flow hedge) or (3) undesignated. 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, in 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 in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We include cash flows from undesignated derivative financial instruments in the investing category in 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 in 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.
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.

As of June 30, 2024, $15 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 may 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 typically not required of the counterparties or us under the master netting agreements. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no cash collateral was received or pledged under the master netting agreements.
The effects of net settlement provisions of the master netting agreements on our derivative balances upon an event of default or a termination event were as follows:

6.Segment Information
A. Basis for Segment Information
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (the CEO) allocates resources and manages performance for our six operating segments described below. Our operating segments provide financing alternatives to customers and dealers around the world for Caterpillar products and services and power generation facilities that, in most cases, incorporate Caterpillar products. Financing plans include operating and finance leases, revolving charge accounts, 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 Eurasia.
•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.
•Power - Provides financing worldwide 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 (loss) before income taxes, we have grouped the reconciling items as follows:
•Unallocated - 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 (SPC) (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.
•Divestiture - Loss on divestiture included in Other income (expense). See Note 10 for more information.

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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 $23 million and $25 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
We provide guarantees to purchase certain loans of Caterpillar dealers from an SPC that qualifies as a VIE. We receive a fee for providing this guarantee. 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 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the SPC’s assets of $1.35 billion were primarily comprised of loans to dealers, which are included in Finance receivables, net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the SPC’s liabilities of $1.35 billion 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. The aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal actions is not material. In some cases, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss because there is insufficient information regarding the matter. However, we believe there is no more than a remote chance that any liability arising from these matters would be material. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions, we believe that these actions will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
8.Fair Value Disclosures
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.
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 $133 million and $65 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 $51 million and $55 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
B.Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash (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) | June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 | | | | |

(1) Represents finance leases and failed sale leasebacks of $6.79 billion and $7.00 billion as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
9.Income Taxes
For interim periods, we estimate an annual effective tax rate, which is applied to our year-to-date ordinary income (loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and are recognized in the period in which they occur. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was negatively impacted by the $210 million loss on divestiture of a non-U.S. entity which had no related tax benefit (see Note 10).
10. Divestiture
We divested a non-U.S. entity on June 13, 2024 and recognized a pre-tax loss of approximately $210 million. The loss on divestiture is included within Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Profit (Loss). The proceeds were allocated in accordance with the sales agreement and agreement with Caterpillar.

We reported second-quarter 2024 revenues of $865 million, an increase of $72 million, or 9 percent, compared with $793 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a $50 million favorable impact from higher average financing rates and a $32 million favorable impact from higher average earning assets. Second-quarter 2024 loss was $65 million, a decrease of $215 million, or 143 percent, compared with $150 million profit in the second quarter of 2023.
Retail revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $416 million, an increase of $62 million from the same period in 2023. The increase was due to a $45 million favorable impact from higher interest rates on retail finance receivables and a $17 million favorable impact from higher average earning assets. For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, retail average earning assets were $22.89 billion, an increase of $1.03 billion from the same period in 2023. The annualized average yield was 7.26 percent for the second quarter of 2024, compared with 6.48 percent for the second quarter of 2023.
Operating lease revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $233 million, an increase of $11 million from the same period in 2023 driven by higher rental rates on operating leases.
Wholesale revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $180 million, an increase of $7 million from the same period in 2023 driven by higher average earning assets. For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, wholesale average earning assets were $5.42 billion, an increase of $66 million from the same period in 2023. The annualized average yield was 13.31 percent for the second quarter of 2024, compared with 12.92 percent for the second quarter of 2023.

There was a $2 million unfavorable impact from currency translation on revenues in the second quarter of 2024. Currency translation represents the net impact from converting the results of our subsidiaries to U.S. dollar reporting currency and is included in all financial statement line items.
Consolidated Profit (Loss) Before Income Taxes
Second-quarter 2024 loss before income taxes was $18 million, mainly driven by a $210 million loss on divestiture of a non-U.S. entity. Excluding the loss on divestiture, second-quarter 2024 profit before income taxes was $192 million, a decrease of $13 million, or 6 percent, compared with $205 million profit in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to $27 million in higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by $16 million due to the absence of prior year unfavorable currency impacts.
There was a $3 million unfavorable impact from currency translation on profit before income taxes in the second quarter of 2024. Currency translation represents the net impact from converting the results of our subsidiaries to U.S. dollar reporting currency and is included in all financial statement line items.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2024 was $47 million on $18 million loss before income taxes compared with $52 million on $205 million profit before income taxes for the second quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was negatively impacted by the loss on divestiture of a non-U.S. entity with no related tax benefit.

There was less than $1 million impact from currency translation on revenues in the first six months of 2024. Currency translation represents the net impact from converting the results of our subsidiaries to U.S. dollar reporting currency and is included in all financial statement line items and each of the items included in the above analysis.
Consolidated Profit Before Income Taxes
Profit before income taxes was $211 million for the first six months of 2024, including a $210 million loss on divestiture of a non-U.S. entity. Excluding the loss on divestiture, profit before income taxes was $421 million, an increase of $12 million, or 3 percent, compared with $409 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $33 million insurance settlement, a $28 million favorable impact from higher average earning assets, and $28 million due to the absence of prior year unfavorable currency impacts. These favorable impacts were partially offset by a $36 million increase in general, operating and administrative expenses, $25 million in higher provision for credit losses, and a $22 million unfavorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment.
There was a $1 million unfavorable impact from currency translation on profit before income taxes in the first six months of 2024.

Total | $ | 34,011 | | | $ | 33,031 | | | $ | 980 | |
| | | | | |
New retail financing increased primarily due to higher volume in North America, partially offset by a decrease in Mining. The decrease in new operating lease activity was mainly driven by lower rentals of Caterpillar equipment in North 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) | June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 | | Change |
Finance receivables, net | $ | 28,274 | | | $ | 27,746 | | | $ | 528 | |

Total Portfolio Metrics
At the end of the second quarter of 2024, past dues were 1.74 percent, compared with 2.15 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2023. Total non-performing finance receivables, which represent finance receivables currently on non-accrual status, were $176 million and $199 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Total non-performing finance receivables as a percentage of our finance receivables were less than 1 percent at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $18 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared with $8 million for the second quarter of 2023.
Our allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2024 was $254 million, or 0.89 percent of finance receivables, compared with $331 million, or 1.18 percent, as of December 31, 2023. 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 June 30, 2024.
Global Business Conditions
Caterpillar continues to monitor a variety of external factors around the world, such as supply chain disruptions, inflationary 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.
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 second quarter of 2024, we experienced favorable liquidity conditions. We ended the second quarter of 2024 with $675 million of cash, a decrease of $52 million from year-end 2023. Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world with approximately $390 million held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Amounts held by non-U.S. subsidiaries are available for general corporate use and could be used in the U.S. without incurring significant additional U.S. taxes. We expect to meet our U.S. funding needs without repatriating undistributed profits that are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S.
Borrowings
Borrowings consist primarily of medium-term notes and commercial paper, the combination of which is used to manage interest rate risk and funding requirements.
We receive debt ratings from the major credit rating agencies. Fitch maintains a "high-A" debt rating, while Moody's and S&P maintain a "mid-A" debt rating. A downgrade of our credit ratings by any of the major credit rating agencies could 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 June 30, 2024 were $28.74 billion, an increase of $460 million from December 31, 2023. Outstanding borrowings were 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 June 30, 2024, there was $4.73 billion outstanding in commercial paper.
Revolving credit facilities
As of June 30, 2024, 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 June 30, 2024 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 August 2024.
•The three-year facility, as amended in August 2023, of $2.73 billion (of which $2.01 billion is available to us) expires in August 2026.
•The five-year facility, as amended in August 2023, of $4.62 billion (of which $3.41 billion is available to us) expires in August 2028.
At June 30, 2024, Caterpillar’s consolidated net worth was $17.19 billion, which was above the $9.00 billion required under the Credit Facility. The consolidated net worth is defined in the Credit Facility as Caterpillar's consolidated shareholders’ equity including preferred stock but excluding the pension and other postretirement benefits balance within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
At June 30, 2024, our covenant interest coverage ratio was 1.47 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 fiscal quarter for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarter periods, required by the Credit Facility.
In addition, at June 30, 2024, our six-month covenant leverage ratio was 6.75 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 June 30, 2024, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility.
The aforementioned financial covenants are being reported as calculated under the Credit Facility and not pursuant to U.S. GAAP. Please refer to the credit agreements governing the Credit Facility filed as an exhibit to our periodic reports for further information related to the calculation thereof. For risks related to our indebtedness and compliance with these covenants, please refer to the risk factor "Restrictive covenants in our debt agreements could limit our financial and operating flexibility" set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K.
Bank borrowings
Available credit lines with banks as of June 30, 2024 totaled $3.62 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 June 30, 2024, we had $813 million outstanding against these credit lines and were in compliance with all debt covenants under these credit lines.
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 June 30, 2024, there were $268 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 $2.44 billion from Caterpillar and Caterpillar may borrow up to $2.14 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 nine years. We had notes payable of $10 million and notes receivable of $555 million outstanding under these agreements as of June 30, 2024.
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
Net cash provided by operating activities was $614 million in the first six months of 2024, compared with $412 million for the same period in 2023. Net cash used for investing activities was $1.28 billion in the first six months of 2024, compared with $884 million for the same period in 2023. The change was primarily due to portfolio related activity and the divestiture of a non-U.S. entity. Net cash provided by financing activities was $621 million in the first six months of 2024, compared with $614 million for the same period in 2023.
