NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cummins Inc. (“Cummins,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was founded in 1919 as a corporation in Columbus, Indiana, as one of the first diesel engine manufacturers. We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products, including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems and electric power generation systems. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a network of approximately 600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and over 7,200 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Our interim period financial results for the three and nine month periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts presented and disclosed in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgment and are used for, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, estimates of future cash flows and other assumptions associated with goodwill and long-lived asset impairment tests, determination of discount rates and other assumptions for pension and other postretirement benefit costs, warranty programs, income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, lease classification, contingencies and restructuring costs. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.

Our reporting period usually ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period. The third quarters of 2016 and 2015 ended on October 2 and September 27, respectively. Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding excludes the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options since such options had an exercise price in excess of the monthly average market value of our common stock. The options excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2016 and September 27, 2015, were as follows:



	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	October 2, 2016	September 27, 2015	October 2, 2016	September 27, 2015
Options excluded	936,857	950,345	1,295,664	593,436

In 2016, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with a third party financial institution to repurchase $500 million of our common stock under our previously announced share repurchase plans and received 4.7 million shares at an average purchase price of $105.50 per share.

NOTE 3. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

We sponsor funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Contributions to these plans were as follows:



	Three months ended				Nine months ended

Other postretirement plans	$	4	$	8	$	32	$	33

Defined contribution pension plans	$	17	$	14	$	53	$	56

We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2016 of $22 million for our U.S. and U.K pension plans. The estimated $146 million of pension contributions for the full year include voluntary contributions of approximately $103 million. These contributions may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants. We expect our 2016 net periodic pension cost to approximate $42 million.

The components of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs under our plans were as follows:



	Pension

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees	$	74	$	78	$	234	$	240

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 25.5 percent, excluding any one-time items that may arise. Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income and the research tax credit.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2016, was 21.5 percent and 25.5 percent, respectively.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2015, was 30.1 percent and 28.7 percent, respectively. The tax rate for the nine months ended September 27, 2015, included an $18 million discrete tax benefit to reflect the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions related to a favorable federal audit settlement.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable periods in 2015 was primarily due to favorable changes in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax income.

It is reasonably possible that our existing liabilities for uncertain tax benefits may decrease in an amount ranging from $20 million to $26 million within the next 12 months for U.S. and non-U.S. audits that are in progress.

NOTE 6. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

A summary of marketable securities, all of which are classified as current, was as follows:



	October 2, 2016						December 31, 2015
In millions	Cost		Gross unrealized gains/(losses)		Estimated fair value		Cost		Gross unrealized gains/(losses)			Estimated fair value

Total marketable securities	$	250	$	—	$	250	$	101	$	(1	)	$	100

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated using actively quoted prices for similar instruments from brokers and observable inputs where available, including market transactions and third-party pricing services, or net asset values provided to investors. We do not currently have any Level 3 securities and there were no transfers between Level 2 or 3 during the first nine months of 2016 or for the year ended December 31, 2015.

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

•

Bank debentures— These investments provide us with a contractual rate of return and generally range in maturity from three months to one year. The counter-parties to these investments are reputable financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Since these instruments are not tradable and must be settled directly by us with the respective financial institution, our fair value measure is the financial institutions’ month-end statement.


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


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


•	Government debt securities-non-U.S.— The fair value measure for these securities is broker quotes received from reputable firms. These securities are infrequently traded on a national stock exchange and these values are used on a test basis to corroborate our Level 2 input measure.

⁽¹⁾ Loans payable consist primarily of notes payable to various domestic and international financial institutions. It is not practical to aggregate these notes and calculate a quarterly weighted-average interest rate.

⁽²⁾ In February 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to $1.75 billion of unsecured short-term promissory notes ("commercial paper") pursuant to a commercial paper program. The program will facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper program for general corporate purposes.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

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

Loss Contingency

Engine systems sold in the U.S. must be certified to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission standards. EPA and CARB regulations require that in-use testing be performed on vehicles by the emission certificate holder and reported to the EPA and CARB in order to ensure ongoing compliance with these emission standards. We are the holder of this emission certificate for our engines, including engines installed in certain vehicles with one customer on which we did not also manufacture or sell the emission aftertreatment system. During 2015, a

Table of Contents

quality issue in certain of these third party aftertreatment systems caused some of our inter-related engines to fail in-use emission testing. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the vehicle manufacturer made a request that we assist in the design and bear the financial cost of a field campaign (Campaign) to address the technical issue purportedly causing some vehicles to fail the in-use testing.

While we are not responsible for the warranty issues related to a component that we did not manufacture or sell, as the emission compliance certificate holder, we are responsible for proposing a remedy to the EPA and CARB. As a result, we have proposed actions to the agencies that we believe will address the emission failures. As the certificate holder, we expect to participate in the cost of the proposed voluntary Campaign and recorded a charge of $60 million in 2015. The Campaign design was finalized with our OEM customer, reviewed with the EPA and submitted for final approval in the second quarter of 2016, and we recorded an additional accrual of $39 million. We have concluded based upon additional in-use emission testing performed in the third quarter of 2016, that the Campaign should be expanded to include a larger population of vehicles manufactured by this one OEM. As a result, we recorded an additional accrual of $99 million in the third quarter to reflect the estimated cost of our participation in the expanded Campaign. We continue to work with our OEM customer to resolve the allocation of costs for the Campaign, including pending litigation between the parties. The Campaign is not expected to be completed for some time and our final cost could differ from the amount we have recorded.

We do not currently expect any fines or penalties from the EPA or CARB related to this matter.

The accrual related to the Campaign is included in "Other accrued expenses" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Guarantees and Commitments

From time to time we enter into guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financings, residual value guarantees on equipment under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of joint ventures or third-party obligations. At October 2, 2016, the maximum potential loss related to these guarantees was $24 million.

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. At October 2, 2016, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $108 million, of which $55 million relates to a contract with a components supplier that extends to 2018. Most of these arrangements enable us to secure critical components. We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.

We enter into physical forward contracts with suppliers of platinum, palladium and copper to purchase minimum volumes of the commodities at contractually stated prices for various periods, not to exceed two years. At October 2, 2016, the total commitments under these contracts were $27 million. These arrangements enable us to fix the prices of these commodities, which otherwise are subject to market volatility.

We have guarantees with certain customers that require us to satisfactorily honor contractual or regulatory obligations, or compensate for monetary losses related to nonperformance. These performance bonds and other performance-related guarantees were $79 million at October 2, 2016.

Indemnifications

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


•	product liability and license, patent or trademark indemnifications;


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


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

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

NOTE 12. RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS AND OTHER CHARGES

We executed restructuring actions primarily in the form of professional voluntary and involuntary employee separation programs in the fourth quarter of 2015. These actions were in response to the continued deterioration in our global markets in the second half of 2015, as well as expected reductions in orders in most U.S. and global markets in 2016. We reduced our worldwide workforce by approximately 1,900 employees, including approximately 370 employees accepting voluntary retirement packages with the remainder of the reductions being involuntary. We incurred a charge of $90 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, of which $86 million related to severance costs for both voluntary and involuntary terminations and $4 million for asset impairments and other charges.

Employee termination and severance costs were recorded based on approved plans developed by the businesses and corporate management which specified positions to be eliminated, benefits to be paid under existing severance plans or statutory requirements and the expected timetable for completion of the plan. Estimates of restructuring costs and benefits were made based on information available at the time charges were recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded and we may need to revise previous estimates.

Restructuring actions and other charges were included in each segment in our operating results as follows:



In millions	Year ended December 31, 2015 ⁽¹⁾
Power Systems	26
Distribution	23
Engine	17
Components	13

At October 2, 2016, substantially all terminations have been completed.

NOTE 13. OPERATING SEGMENTS

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

We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests) as a primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments.

We allocate certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments. These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal, finance and supply chain management. In addition to the reorganization noted above, we reevaluated the allocation of these costs, considering the new segment structure created in April 2016 and adjusted our allocation methodology accordingly. The revised methodology, which is based on a combination of relative segment sales and relative service usage levels, is effective for the periods beginning after January 1, 2016 and resulted in the revision of our segment operating results, including segment EBIT, for all four segments for the first quarter of 2016 with a greater share of costs allocated to the Distribution and Components segments than in previous years. Prior periods were not revised for the new allocation methodology. These changes had no impact on our consolidated results.

Our new reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and less in size) and associated parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various off-highway markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, agriculture, power generation systems and other off-highway applications. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers and fuel systems. The Power Systems segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and sells engines (16 liters and larger) for industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas and marine), standby and prime power generator sets, alternators and other power components.

The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepared the financial results of our operating segments on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which we internally disaggregate financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions. As noted above, we allocate certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments. We do not allocate debt-related items, actuarial gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, changes in cash surrender value of corporate owned life insurance or income taxes to individual segments. Segment EBIT may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

NOTE 14. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its standards related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments. The new standard will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. We are in the process of evaluating the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In June 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. This amendment introduces new guidance for accounting for credit losses on instruments including trade receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. The new rules are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for stock compensation. This amendment addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions that could impact us including, but not limited to, recognition of excess tax benefits or deficiencies in the income statement each period and classification of the excess tax benefits or deficiencies as operating activities in the cash flow statement. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for leases. Under the new standard, lessees will now be required to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as both a right-of-use-asset and a liability. The standard will continue to have two types of leases for income statement recognition purposes: operating leases and finance leases. Operating leases will result in the recognition of a single lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term similar to the treatment for operating leases under today's standards. Finance leases will result in an accelerated expense similar to the accounting for capital leases under today's standards. The determination of a lease classification as operating or finance will be done in a manner very similar to today's standard. The new standard also contains amended guidance regarding the identification of embedded leases in service contracts and the identification of lease and non-lease components in an arrangement. The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact the standard could have on our Consolidated Financial Statements; however, while we have not yet quantified the amount, we do expect the standard will have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the recognition of additional assets and liabilities for operating leases.

In January 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for certain financial instruments. This amendment addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The new rules will become effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB amended its standards related to revenue recognition. This amendment replaces all existing revenue recognition guidance and provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard contains principles that we will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that we will recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization

of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The amendment also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in those judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. The standard allows either full or modified retrospective adoption effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2018. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We expect to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach. While we have not yet completed our evaluation process, we have identified transactions where revenue recognition is currently limited to the amount of billings not contingent on our future performance. With the allocation provisions of the new model, we expect to accelerate the timing of revenue recognition for amounts related to satisfied performance obligations that would have been delayed under the current guidance. We do not expect the impact of this change to be material, but we are still quantifying the impact.

NOTE 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Acquisition of Cummins Pacific, LLC

In October 2016, we acquired the remaining 50 percent interest in Cummins Pacific, LLC from the former distributor principal. The purchase consideration was $97 million, which included $17 million in cash and an additional $66 million paid to eliminate outstanding debt. The remaining $14 million will be paid in future periods, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. We will recognize a gain of $13 million on the fair value adjustment in the fourth quarter of 2016, resulting from this acquisition.

This is the final acquisition of the plan we announced on September 17, 2013, to acquire the equity that we did not already own in most of our partially-owned U.S. and Canadian distributors.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products, including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems and electric power generation systems. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc, Daimler Trucks North America, Navistar International Corporation, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Volvo AB, Komatsu and MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG. We serve our customers through a network of approximately 600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and over 7,200 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

Our reportable operating segments consist of Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Systems. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and less in size) and associated parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various off-highway markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, agriculture, power generation systems and other off-highway applications. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers and fuel systems. The Power Systems segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and sells engines (16 liters and larger) for industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas and marine), standby and prime power generator sets, alternators and other power components.

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

Worldwide revenues decreased 9 percent in the three months ended October 2, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to lower demand in most global on-highway markets, decreased demand in most global power generation markets, lower demand in most distribution markets and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by sales increases related to the consolidation of North American distributors since December 31, 2014. Revenue in the U.S. and Canada declined by 13 percent primarily due to decreased demand in the North American on-highway markets, partially offset by increased Distribution segment sales related to the consolidation of North American distributors. Continued global economic weakness in the third quarter of 2016 negatively impacted our international revenues (excludes the U.S. and Canada), which declined by 3 percent, with sales down in many of our markets, especially in Africa, Korea, Mexico and Middle East. The decline in international sales was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 3 percent of international sales (primarily in the British pound and Chinese renminbi) and lower demand in the power generation markets, especially in Middle East and Asia (excluding China).

Worldwide revenues declined 9 percent in the first nine months of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to lower demand in most global on-highway markets, decreased demand in most global power generation markets, unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations and lower demand in most global high-horsepower industrial markets, partially offset by sales increases related to the consolidation of North American distributors since December 31, 2014. Revenue in the U.S. and Canada declined by 12 percent primarily due to decreased demand in the North American on-highway markets and lower demand in the industrial oil and gas, construction and mining markets, partially offset by increased Distribution segment sales related to the consolidation of North American distributors. Continued global economic weakness in 2016 negatively impacted our international revenues (excludes the U.S. and Canada), which declined by 5 percent, with sales down in most of our markets, especially in South America, Mexico, Middle East and the U.K. The decline in international sales was primarily due to declines in most international power generation markets, unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 4 percent of international sales (primarily in the Chinese renminbi, British pound, Brazilian real, Indian rupee, Australian dollar and South African rand), lower demand in the on-highway markets in Brazil and Mexico and decreased demand in international high-horsepower industrial markets led by declines in marine and mining.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $289 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, on sales of $4.2 billion for the three months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins of $380 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, on sales of $4.6 billion. The decrease in net income and earnings per diluted share was driven by lower gross margin and an accrual for a loss contingency, partially offset by decreased research, development and engineering expenses, a lower effective tax rate and decreased selling, general and administrative expenses. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower volume and unfavorable mix, partially offset by lower material and commodity costs.

⁽¹⁾Sales and EBIT numbers were adjusted for the segment reorganization. See Note 13, "OPERATING SEGMENTS," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $1.0 billion, or $5.99 per diluted share, on sales of $13.0 billion for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins of $1.2 billion, or $6.90 per diluted share, on sales of $14.3 billion. The decrease in net income and earnings per diluted share was driven by lower gross margin and an accrual for a loss contingency, partially offset by lower research, development and engineering expenses, decreased selling, general and administrative expenses and a lower effective tax rate. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower volumes, unfavorable mix and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Brazilian real and South African rand), partially offset by lower material and commodity costs, lower warranty expense and improved Distribution segment margins related to the acquisition of North American distributors since December 31, 2014. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, benefited $0.18 from fewer weighted average shares outstanding, primarily due to purchases under the stock repurchase programs.

We generated $1.3 billion of operating cash flows for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, compared to $1.1 billion for the same period in 2015. Refer to the section titled "Cash Flows" in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.

Table of Contents

During the first nine months of 2016, we repurchased $745 million, or 7.1 million shares of common stock, including completion of the accelerated share repurchase agreement finalized in the second quarter of 2016. See Note 2, "BASIS OF PRESENTATION," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at October 2, 2016, was 21.2 percent, compared to 17.5 percent at December 31, 2015. The increase was due to the repurchases of common stock and higher total debt, primarily due to the commercial paper program. At October 2, 2016, we had $1.5 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand and access to our credit facilities, if necessary, to meet currently anticipated investment and funding needs.

In July 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 5.1 percent from $0.975 per share to $1.025 per share.

In the third quarter of 2016, we recorded an additional accrual of $99 million for an existing loss contingency. For the nine months ended October 2, 2016, we accrued a total of $138 million related to this matter. See Note 10, "COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

We expect our effective tax rate for the full year of 2016 to approximate 25.5 percent, excluding any one-time tax items.

In October 2016, we completed the acquisition of the remaining interest in the final previously unconsolidated North American distributor for $97 million and will recognize a gain of $13 million in the fourth quarter on the fair value adjustment resulting from the acquisition.

OUTLOOK

Our outlook reflects the following trends for the remainder of 2016:


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


•	We intend to realize annualized savings from the 2015 restructuring actions of approximately $160 million.

Our outlook reflects the following challenges to our business that may reduce our revenue and earnings potential for the remainder of 2016:


•	We expect industry production of heavy-duty trucks in North America to decline.


•	We expect power generation markets to remain weak.


•	We expect industry production of medium-duty trucks in North America to decline.


•	We expect North American construction markets to weaken.


•	We believe weak economic conditions in Brazil will continue to negatively impact demand across our businesses.


•	Foreign currency volatility could continue to put pressure on our revenues and earnings.


•	We expect market demand to remain weak in the oil and gas and commercial marine markets as the result of low crude oil prices.


•	We expect demand for equipment in global mining markets to remain weak.


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

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended October 2, 2016, decreased by $433 million versus the comparable period in 2015. The primary drivers were as follows:


•	Engine segment sales decreased 12 percent primarily due to lower demand in North American on-highway markets and lower demand in most North American off-highway markets, partially offset by increased sales in the light-duty automotive market.


•	Power Systems segment sales decreased 13 percent primarily due to lower demand in all reporting structures and decreased sales in most regions with the largest declines in Asia (excluding China), Middle East, North America and Africa.


•	Components segment sales decreased 8 percent primarily due to lower demand in most lines of businesses, primarily in North American on-highway markets, partially offset by higher demand in China.


•	Foreign currency fluctuations unfavorably impacted sales by approximately 2 percent primarily in the British pound and Chinese renminbi.


•	Distribution segment sales decreased 3 percent, primarily due to a decline in organic sales in engine markets, partially offset by higher sales related to the acquisition of North American distributors since December 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

Net sales for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, decreased by $1.3 billion versus the comparable period in 2015. The primary drivers were as follows:


•	Engine segment sales decreased 11 percent primarily due to lower demand in North American on-highway markets and lower demand in most global off-highway markets, partially offset by increased sales in the light-duty automotive market.


•	Power Systems segment sales decreased 16 percent primarily due to lower demand in all reporting structures and decreased sales in most regions with the largest declines in North America, China, Asia, Middle East, Africa, Western Europe and Mexico, partially offset by increased sales in Russia.


•	Components segment sales decreased 7 percent primarily due to lower demand in all lines of business, mostly in North American on-highway markets, partially offset by higher demand in China.


•	Foreign currency fluctuations unfavorably impacted sales by approximately 2 percent primarily in the Chinese renminbi, British pound, Brazilian real, Indian rupee, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and South African rand.

Sales to international markets, based on location of customers, for both the three and nine months ended October 2, 2016, were 41 percent of total net sales compared with 38 percent and 39 percent of total net sales, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2015. A more detailed discussion of sales by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

Gross Margin

Gross margin decreased $129 million for the three months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, and decreased 0.3 points as a percentage of sales. The decrease in gross margin dollars was primarily due to lower volume and unfavorable mix, partially offset by lower material and commodity costs.

Gross margin decreased $403 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, and decreased 0.4 points as a percentage of sales. The decrease in gross margin dollars was primarily due to lower volumes, unfavorable mix and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Brazilian real and South African rand), partially offset by lower material and commodity costs, lower warranty expense and improved Distribution segment margins related to the acquisition of North American distributors since December 31, 2014.

The provision for base warranties issued, excluding campaigns, as a percent of sales for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2016, was 1.5 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively, compared to 1.8 percent and 2.0 percent for the comparable periods in 2015. A more detailed discussion of margin by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $17 million for the three months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to lower compensation expenses as a result of restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2015, partially offset by higher consulting expenses. Compensation and related expenses include salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation. Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to 12.3 percent in the three months ended October 2, 2016, from 11.5 percent in the comparable period in 2015.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $57 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to lower compensation expenses as a result of restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2015, and lower consulting expenses. Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to 11.7 percent in the nine months ended October 2, 2016, from 11.0 percent in the comparable period in 2015.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses

Research, development and engineering expenses decreased $40 million for the three months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to lower consulting expenses, decreased compensation expenses as a result of restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2015, and increased expense recovery from customers and external parties. Compensation and related expenses include salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation. Overall, research, development and engineering expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 3.7 percent in the three months ended October 2, 2016, from 4.3 percent in the comparable period in 2015.

Research activities continue to focus on development of new products to meet future emission standards around the world and improvements in fuel economy performance.

Equity, Royalty and Interest Income from Investees

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees decreased $4 million for the three months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to the impact of an asset impairment incurred by one of our Power Systems joint ventures ($8 million), partially offset by increased earnings at Chongqing Engine Company, Ltd.

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees decreased $6 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to lower earnings from North American distributors ($9 million), the impact of an asset impairment incurred by one of our Power Systems joint ventures ($8 million) and decreased earnings at Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. ($8 million). These decreases were partially offset by higher earnings at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. ($12 million).

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS

Our reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. We use segment EBIT as the primary basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments.

As previously announced, beginning with the second quarter of 2016, we realigned certain of our reportable segments to be consistent with changes to our organizational structure and how the CODM monitors the performance of our segments. We reorganized our business to combine our Power Generation segment and our high-horsepower engine business to create the new Power Systems segment. Our reportable operating segments consist of Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Systems. We began to report results for our new reporting structure in the second quarter of 2016 and also reflected this change for historical periods. The formation of the Power Systems segment combined two businesses that were already strongly interdependent, which will allow us to streamline business and technical processes to accelerate innovation, grow market share and more efficiently manage our supply chain and manufacturing operations.

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

Segment EBIT

Components segment EBIT for the three months ended October 2, 2016, decreased $8 million versus the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to lower gross margin and higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower research, development and engineering expenses.

Components segment EBIT for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, decreased $73 million versus the comparable period in 2015 primarily due to lower gross margin, higher selling, general and administrative expenses and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the Brazilian real and Chinese renminbi), partially offset by lower research, development and engineering expenses. Major components of EBIT and related changes to segment EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:



	Three months ended							Nine months ended
	October 2, 2016 vs. September 27, 2015							October 2, 2016 vs. September 27, 2015

The decrease in gross margin for the three months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, was primarily due to lower volumes and unfavorable pricing, partially offset by lower material costs. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher consulting and compensation expenses as a result of absorbing a greater share of corporate costs under our new methodology, partially offset by savings from restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in research, development and engineering expenses was primarily due to lower consulting expenses, higher expense recovery from customers and external parties and lower compensation expenses from restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The decrease in gross margin for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, was primarily due to lower volumes, unfavorable pricing, unfavorable mix and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the Brazilian real and Chinese renminbi), partially offset by lower material costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Key Working Capital and Balance Sheet Data

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



Dollars in millions	October 2, 2016			December 31, 2015
Working capital ⁽¹⁾	$	3,486		$	4,144
Current ratio	1.81			2.09

Total debt	$	1,949		$	1,639
Total debt as a percent of total capital ⁽²⁾	21.2		%	17.5		%

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾Working capital includes cash and cash equivalents.

⁽²⁾The increase in our debt to capital ratio was due to the repurchases of common stock and higher total debt, primarily due to the commercial paper program.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents were impacted as follows:



	Nine months ended
In millions	October 2, 2016			September 27, 2015			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	1,310		$	1,131		$	179
Net cash used in investing activities	(590		)	(477		)	(113		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(1,041		)	(1,215		)	174
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(139		)	(52		)	(87		)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(460	)	$	(613	)	$	153

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $179 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to lower working capital levels and an increase in deferred income taxes, partially offset by lower consolidated net income, decreases from translation and hedging activities and restructuring payments. During the first nine months of 2016, the lower working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $306 million compared to a cash outflow of $414 million in the comparable period in 2015.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $113 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to higher net investments in marketable securities of $209 million and decreased cash flows from derivatives not designated as hedges of $81 million, partially offset by lower acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired of $101 million and lower capital expenditures of $81 million.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $174 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to higher net borrowings of commercial paper of $273 million, increased proceeds from borrowings of $87 million and higher net borrowings under short term credit agreements of $63 million, partially offset by higher common stock repurchases of $95 million, higher payments on borrowings and capital lease obligations of $92 million and higher dividend payments of $53 million.

The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, decreased $87 million primarily due to the British pound, which decreased cash and cash equivalents by $91 million.

Sources of Liquidity

We generate significant ongoing cash flow. Cash provided by operations is our principal source of liquidity with $1.3 billion provided in the nine months ended October 2, 2016.

At October 2, 2016, our other sources of liquidity included:



	October 2, 2016
In millions	Total		U.S.		International		Primary location of international balances
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,251	$	318	$	933	U.K., China, Singapore

Revolving credit facility ⁽²⁾	$	1,750
International and other uncommitted domestic credit facilities ⁽³⁾	153

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾The majority of marketable securities could be liquidated into cash within a few days.

⁽²⁾The revolving credit facility is maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. At October 2, 2016, we had $273 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced the available capacity under our revolving credit facility to $1.48 billion.

⁽³⁾ The available capacity is net of letters of credit.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

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

If we distribute our foreign cash balances to the U.S. or to other foreign subsidiaries, we could be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes, for example, if we repatriated cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings we have asserted are permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. Foreign earnings for which we assert permanent reinvestment outside the U.S. consist primarily of earnings of our China and U.K. domiciled subsidiaries. At present, we do not foresee a need to repatriate any earnings from these subsidiaries for which we have asserted permanent reinvestment. However, to help fund cash needs of the U.S. or other international subsidiaries as they arise, we repatriate available cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings are not permanently reinvested when it is cost effective to do so. Earnings generated after 2011 from our China operations are considered permanently reinvested, while earnings generated prior to 2012, for which U.S. deferred tax liabilities have been recorded, are expected to be repatriated in future years.

Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity

In February 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to $1.75 billion of unsecured short-term promissory notes ("commercial paper") pursuant to a commercial paper program. The program will facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper program for general corporate purposes.

We have a $1.75 billion revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which can be used for general corporate purposes. This facility expires on November 13, 2020. The revolving credit facility is maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings, letters of credit and general corporate purposes. The total combined borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility and commercial paper program should not exceed $1.75 billion.

As a well-known seasoned issuer, we filed an automatic shelf registration for an undetermined amount of debt and equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2016. Under this shelf registration we may offer, from time to time, debt securities, common stock, preferred and preference stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.

Uses of Cash

Share Repurchases

In November 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon the completion of the 2014 repurchase plan. In the first nine months of 2016, we made the following purchases under the respective stock repurchase programs:



In millions (except per share amounts) For each quarter ended	Shares Purchased	Average Cost Per Share		Total Cost of Repurchases		Cash Paid for Shares Not Received			Remaining Authorized Capacity ⁽¹⁾

Total	7.1	$	105.63	$	745	$	—

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾ The remaining authorized capacities under the 2014 and 2015 Plans were calculated based on the cost to purchase the shares but exclude commission expenses in accordance with the authorized Plans.

⁽²⁾ Upon completion of the ASR in the second quarter of 2016, the shares purchased and average cost per share were updated based on the final valuation.

We may continue to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during 2016 to enhance shareholder value and to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock based compensation plans.

Dividends

In July 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 5.1 percent from $0.975 per share to $1.025 per share. We paid dividends of $505 million during the nine months ended October 2, 2016.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures and spending on internal use software for the nine months ended October 2, 2016, were $354 million compared to $431 million in the comparable period in 2015. Despite the challenging conditions in many of our markets, we continue to invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions. We plan to spend between $550 million and $600 million in 2016 as we continue with product launches and facility improvements. Approximately 40 percent of our capital expenditures are expected to be invested outside of the U.S. in 2016.

Pensions

Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 111 percent funded at December 31, 2015. Our U.S. qualified plan, which represents approximately 57 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, was 119 percent funded and our U.K. plan was 123 percent funded. The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon a variety of variables and assumptions including return on invested assets, market interest rates and levels of voluntary contributions to the plans. In the first nine months of 2016, the investment return on our U.S. pension trust was 11.7 percent while our U.K. pension trust return was 22.0 percent. Approximately 79 percent of our pension plan assets are held in highly liquid investments such as fixed income and equity securities. The remaining 21 percent of our plan assets are held in less liquid, but market valued investments, including real estate, private equity and insurance contracts. We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2016 of $22 million for our U.S. and U.K pension plans and $44 million ($27 million of which will be cash) for our German pension plans. The estimated $146 million of U.S. and U.K. pension contributions for the full year include voluntary contributions of approximately $103 million. The $44 million contribution to the German plans is voluntary. These contributions may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets

Table of Contents

or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants. We expect our 2016 net periodic pension cost to approximate $42 million.

Current Maturities of Short and Long-Term Debt

We had $273 million of commercial paper outstanding at October 2, 2016, that matures in less than one year. The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not require significant cash outflows in the intermediate term. Required annual principal payments range from $7 million to $31 million over the next five years (including the remainder of 2016).

Restructuring Actions

We executed restructuring actions primarily in the form of professional voluntary and involuntary employee separation programs in the fourth quarter of 2015. We reduced our worldwide workforce by approximately 1,900 employees. We incurred a fourth quarter charge of $90 million ($61 million after tax) for these headcount reductions, with $86 million expected to be settled in cash, of which $60 million remained outstanding at December 31, 2015. In 2016, we paid $53 million (with approximately $7 million remaining) of restructuring payments and as of October 2, 2016 substantially all terminations were complete. See Note 12, "RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS AND OTHER CHARGES," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Management's Assessment of Liquidity

Our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Our solid balance sheet and credit ratings enable ready access to credit and the capital markets. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate adequate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. We believe our operating cash flow and liquidity provides us with the financial flexibility needed to fund working capital, common stock repurchases, capital expenditures, dividend payments, projected pension obligations and debt service obligations. We continue to generate cash from operations in the U.S. and maintain access to our revolving credit facility.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, “SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2015 Form 10-K, which discusses accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.

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

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

A discussion of our critical accounting estimates may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of our 2015 Form 10-K under the caption “APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES.” Within the context of these critical accounting estimates, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in different policies or estimates being reported in the first nine months of 2016.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

A discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk may be found in Item 7A of our 2015 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 2015 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 2, 2016, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾ Shares purchased represent shares under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan established in 1969 (there is no maximum repurchase limitation in this plan) and our Board of Directors authorized share repurchase programs.

⁽²⁾ These values reflect the sum of shares held in loan status under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan. The repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors do not limit the number of shares that may be purchased and were excluded from this column. The dollar value remaining available for future purchases under such programs as of October 2, 2016, was $529 million.

In November 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon the completion of the 2014 repurchase plan. During the three months ended October 2, 2016, we repurchased $50 million of common stock under the 2015 Board of Directors authorized plan.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended October 2, 2016, we repurchased 20,052 shares from employees in connection with the Key Employee Stock Investment Plan which allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. Loans are issued for five-year terms at a fixed interest rate established at the date of purchase and may be refinanced after its initial five-year period for an additional five-year period. Participants must hold shares for a minimum of six months from date of purchase. If the shares are sold before the loan is paid off, the employee must wait six months before another share purchase may be made. We hold participants’ shares as security for the loans and would, in effect repurchase shares if the participant defaulted in repayment of the loan. There is no maximum amount of shares that we may purchase under this plan.
