We define EBIT as earnings or loss before interest expense, income tax expense and noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries (EBIT). We use EBIT to assess and measure the performance of our operating segments and also as a component in measuring our variable compensation programs. Below is a reconciliation of EBIT, a non-GAAP financial measure, to ”Net income attributable to Cummins Inc.”, for each of the applicable periods:

FINANCIAL MEASURES THAT SUPPLEMENT GAAP

(Unaudited)

Net income and diluted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to Cummins Inc. excluding restructuring and other charges

We believe this is a useful measure of our operating performance for the periods presented as it illustrates our operating performance without regard to restructuring. This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and may not be consistent with measures used by other companies. It should be considered supplemental data. The following table reconciles net income attributable to Cummins Inc. excluding restructuring and other charges to “Net income attributable to Cummins Inc.” for the three months ended December 31, 2009, and the three months ended March 29, 2009. There were no restructuring actions taken in the three months ended March 28, 2010.

(1) During the three months ended December 31, 2009, and March 29, 2009, management approved and committed to undertake restructuring actions, which resulted in pretax charges of $4 million and $66 million, respectively. These charges included employee-related liabilities for severance and benefits, exit costs and pension and other postretirement benefit curtailment charges.

NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 31 percent, absent discrete period activity. Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income. The tax rate for the three month period ended March 28, 2010, was 34 percent and includes a discrete tax charge of $7 million (3 percent) related to the enactment of the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.”

Our effective tax rate for March 29, 2009 was 33 percent. This rate is less than the 35 percent U.S. income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income.
