CUMMINS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cummins Inc. (“Cummins,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was founded in 1919 as Cummins Engine Company, a corporation in Columbus, Indiana, and one of the first diesel engine manufacturers. In 2001, we changed our name to Cummins Inc. We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and powertrain-related component products (including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems and automated transmissions), electric power generation systems, batteries, electrified power systems, hydrogen generation and fuel cell products. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, dealers and other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a network of approximately 600 wholly-owned and independent distributor locations and over 7,600 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Interim Condensed Financial Statements

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

These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts for prior year periods have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current year.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

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. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.

Reporting Period

Our reporting period usually ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period. The third quarters of 2019 and 2018 ended on September 29 and September 30, respectively. Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding

The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding 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 were as follows:



	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 29, 2019	September 30, 2018	September 29, 2019	September 30, 2018
Options excluded	874,604	1,481,750	631,042	799,337

NOTE 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Long-term Contracts

Most of our contracts are for a period of less than one year. We have certain long-term maintenance agreements, construction contracts and extended warranty coverage arrangements that span a period in excess of one year. The aggregate amount of the transaction price for long-term maintenance agreements and construction contracts allocated to performance obligations that have not been satisfied as of September 29, 2019, was $809 million. We expect to recognize the related revenue of $180 million over the next 12 months and $629 million over periods up to 10 years. See NOTE 11, "PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY," for additional disclosures on extended warranty coverage arrangements. Our other contracts generally are for a duration of less than one year, include payment terms that correspond to the timing of cost incurred when providing goods and services to our customers or represent sale-based royalties.

Deferred and Unbilled Revenue

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



In millions	September 29, 2019		December 31, 2018
Unbilled revenue	$	75	$	64
Deferred revenue, primarily extended warranty	1,314		1,156

We recognized revenue of $79 million and $282 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, compared with $71 million and $277 million for the comparable periods in 2018, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each year. We did not record any impairment losses on our unbilled revenues during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 21.5 percent, excluding any discrete tax items that may arise.

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, were 18.4 percent and 20.3 percent, respectively.

The three months ended September 29, 2019, contained $23 million, or $0.14 per share, of favorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to withholding taxes and provision to return adjustments. The nine months ended September 29, 2019, contained $30 million, or $0.19 per share, of favorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to withholding taxes and provision to return adjustments.

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, were 13.3 percent and 22.8 percent, respectively.

The three months ended September 30, 2018, contained $37 million, or $0.23 per share, of favorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to $34 million of favorable discrete items related to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Legislation) and $3 million of other favorable discrete items.

The nine months ended September 30, 2018, contained $37 million, or $0.23 per share, of unfavorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to $48 million of unfavorable discrete items related to the Tax Legislation, partially offset by $11 million of other favorable discrete items. See Note 4. "INCOME TAXES" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2018 Form 10-K for additional information.

____________________________________

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

All debt securities are classified as available-for-sale. All marketable securities presented use a Level 2 fair value measure. The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated using actively quoted prices for similar instruments from brokers and observable inputs where available, including market transactions and third-party pricing services, or net asset values provided to investors. We do not currently have any Level 3 securities and there were no transfers between Level 2 or 3 during the first nine months of 2019 or for the year ended December 31, 2018.

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

•

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


•	Debt mutual funds — The fair value measure for the vast majority of 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.


•	Debt securities — 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.

The proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities were as follows:

NOTE 9. LEASES

Lease Accounting Pronouncement Adoption

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its standards related to the accounting for leases. Under the new standard, lessees are now required to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as both a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a liability. The standard continues to have two types of leases for income statement recognition purposes: operating leases and finance leases. Operating leases 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 the old standard. Finance leases result in an accelerated expense similar to the accounting for capital leases under the old standard. The determination of a lease classification as operating or finance will occur in a manner similar to the old 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 of an arrangement.

We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach and as a result did not adjust prior periods. Adoption of the standard resulted in the recording of $450 million of operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, but did not have a material impact on our net income or cash flows. The cumulative effect adjustment of adopting the new standard was not material. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification and to not re-evaluate existing contracts as to whether or not they contained a lease.

Lease Policies

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease in whole or in part at the inception of the contract. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. All leases greater than 12 months result in the recognition of a ROU asset and a liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide the information required to determine the implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. This rate is determined considering factors such as the lease term, our credit standing and the economic environment of the location of the lease. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable.

Our lease terms include all non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend (or to not terminate) the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases that have a term of 12 months or less at the commencement date are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not result in the recognition of an asset or a liability.

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for finance leases are generally front-loaded as the finance lease ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis, but interest expense on the liability is recognized utilizing the interest method that results in more expense during the early years of the lease. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, primarily related to real estate, vehicle and information technology (IT) assets. For vehicle and real estate leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. For IT leases, we allocate the payment between the lease and non-lease components based on the relative value of each component.

Leases

Our lease portfolio consists primarily of real estate and equipment leases. Our real estate leases primarily consist of office, distribution, warehousing and manufacturing facilities. These leases typically range in term from 2 to 30 years and may contain renewal options for periods up to 2 years at our discretion. Our equipment lease portfolio consists primarily of vehicles (including service vehicles), forktrucks and IT equipment. These leases typically range in term from two years to three years and may contain renewal options. Our leases generally do not contain variable lease payments other than (1) certain foreign real estate leases which have payments indexed to inflation and (2) certain real estate executory costs (such as taxes, insurance and maintenance), which are paid based on actual expenses incurred by the lessor during the year. Our leases generally do not include residual value guarantees other than our service vehicle fleet, which has a residual guarantee based on a percentage of the original cost declining over the lease term.

⁽²⁾ The weighted-average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was 2.18 percent and 2.59 percent at September 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On August 21, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated 364-day credit agreement that allows us to borrow up to $1.5 billion of unsecured funds at any time through August 18, 2020. This credit agreement amends and restates the prior $1.5 billion 364-day credit facility that matured on August 21, 2019.

We have access to committed credit facilities that total $3.5 billion, including the new $1.5 billion 364-day facility that expires August 19, 2020 and a $2.0 billion five-year facility that expires on August 22, 2023. We intend to maintain credit facilities of a similar aggregate amount by renewing or replacing these facilities before expiration. These revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.

At September 29, 2019, the $902 million of outstanding commercial paper effectively reduced the $3.5 billion of revolving credit capacity to $2.6 billion and we had an additional $200 million available for borrowings under our international and other domestic credit facilities.

Interest Rate Risk

In the third quarter, we entered into a series of interest rate lock agreements to reduce the variability of the cash flows of the interest payments on $250 million of fixed rate debt forecast to be issued in 2023 to replace our Senior notes at maturity. The terms of the rate locks mirror those of the debt, matching the time period of the expected fixed rate debt issuance and the expected timing of interest payments on that debt. The gains and losses on these derivative instruments will be initially recorded in "Other comprehensive income" and will be released to earnings in "Interest expense" in future periods to reflect the difference in (1) the fixed rates economically locked in at the inception of the hedge and (2) the actual fixed rates established in the debt instrument at issuance. The loss included in "Other comprehensive income" for the three months ended September 29, 2019 was $28 million.

Fair Value of Debt

Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, considering our risk premium, the fair values and carrying values of total debt, including current maturities, were as follows:

Shelf Registration

As a well-known seasoned issuer, we filed an automatic shelf registration for an undetermined amount of debt and equity securities with the SEC on February 13, 2019. 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.

Engine System Campaign Accrual

During 2017, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) selected certain of our pre-2013 model year engine systems for additional emissions testing. Some of these engine systems failed CARB and EPA tests as a result of degradation of an aftertreatment component.

In the first quarter of 2018, we concluded based upon additional emission testing performed, and further discussions with the EPA and CARB that the field campaigns should be expanded to include a larger population of our engine systems that are subject to the aftertreatment component degradation, including our model years 2010 through 2015. As a result, we recorded an additional charge of $187 million or $0.87 per share, to cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income ($94 million recorded in the Components segment and $93 million in the Engine segment).

In the second quarter of 2018, we reached agreement with the CARB and EPA regarding our plans to address the affected populations. In finalizing our plans, we increased the number of systems to be addressed through hardware replacement compared to our assumptions resulting in an additional charge of $181 million, or $0.85 per share, to cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income ($91 million recorded in the Engine segment and $90 million in the Components segment).

Table of Contents

The campaigns launched in the third quarter of 2018 and are being completed in phases across the affected population with a projection to be substantially complete by December 31, 2020. The total engine system campaign charge, excluding supplier recoveries, was $410 million. At September 29, 2019, the remaining accrual balance was $279 million.

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 pursuant to GAAP for our expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon then presently available information, there can be no assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

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

On April 29, 2019, we announced that we were conducting a formal internal review of our emissions certification process and compliance with emissions standards for our pick-up truck applications, following conversations with the EPA and CARB regarding certification of our engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks. This review is being conducted with external advisors to ensure the certification and compliance processes for all of our pick-up truck applications are consistent with our internal policies, engineering standards and applicable laws. In addition, we voluntarily disclosed our formal internal review to our regulators and to other government agencies, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the SEC, and have been working cooperatively with them to ensure a complete and thorough review. During conversations with the EPA and CARB about the effectiveness of our pick-up truck applications, the regulators raised concerns that certain aspects of our emissions

Table of Contents

systems may reduce the effectiveness of our emissions control systems and thereby act as defeat devices. As a result, our internal review focuses, in part, on the regulators’ concerns. We are working closely with the regulators to enhance our emission systems to improve the effectiveness of all of our pick-up truck applications and to fully address the regulators’ requirements. Based on discussions with the regulators, we have developed a new calibration for the engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks that has been included in all engines shipped since September 2019. During our discussions, the regulators have asked us to look at other model years and other engines, though the primary focus of our review has been the model year 2019 RAM. We are also fully cooperating with the DOJ's and the SEC's information requests and inquiries. Due to the continuing nature of our formal review, our ongoing cooperation with our regulators and other government agencies, and the presence of many unknown facts and circumstances, we cannot predict the final outcome of this review and these regulatory and agency processes, and we cannot provide assurance that the matter will not have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

Guarantees and Commitments

Periodically, we enter into guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financings, residual value guarantees on equipment under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of joint ventures or third-party obligations. At September 29, 2019, the maximum potential loss related to these guarantees was $54 million.

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. At September 29, 2019, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $54 million. Most of these arrangements enable us to secure supplies of critical components. We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.

We enter into physical forward contracts with suppliers of platinum and palladium to purchase certain volumes of the commodities at contractually stated prices for various periods, which generally fall within two years. At September 29, 2019, the total commitments under these contracts were $33 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 $140 million at September 29, 2019.

Indemnifications

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


•	product liability and license, patent or trademark indemnifications;


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


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

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

Hydrogenics Corporation

On September 9, 2019, we acquired an 81 percent interest in Hydrogenics Corporation for total consideration of $235 million. The Hydrogen Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of L’Air Liquide, S.A., will maintain a non-controlling interest in Hydrogenics. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination and included it in the Electrified Power segment in the third quarter of 2019. We have not yet assigned this business to a reporting unit for goodwill impairment purposes. The preliminary purchase price allocation was as follows:



In millions
Inventory	$	21
Other current assets	25
Intangible assets
Technology assets	94
Customer relationships	28
In-process research and development	35
Other intangible assets	1
Goodwill	166
Other assets	18
Current liabilities	(50		)
Other liabilities	(47		)
Total business valuation	291
Less: Noncontrolling interest	56
Total purchase consideration	$	235

At September 29, 2019, our purchase accounting was not complete. The above table represents our current estimate of the allocation. We are reviewing and validating the significant assumptions used to value the intangible assets and expect that these amounts could change as we finalize our allocation by the end of 2019. We expect the "Intangible assets" to be amortized over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years. We are also validating our calculations related to deferred tax assets and liabilities.

"Goodwill" was determined based on the residual difference between the fair value of consideration transferred and the value assigned to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. The goodwill amount is provisional and subject to changes, pending the completion of the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities. The goodwill amount will not be deductible for tax purposes. Among the factors contributing to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill are the acquisition of engineering talent in the fuel cell space, the ability to be one of the forerunners in the development of clean fuel cell energy and the continued opportunity to expand our position as a global power leader.

This business was included in our September results but the amounts were not significant. Pro forma financial information was not provided as the historical financial statement activity of Hydrogenics is not material to our consolidated results.

NOTE 16. 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 President and Chief Operating Officer.

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

Table of Contents

supports electrified power systems ranging from fully electric to hybrid and, with the acquisition of Hydrogenics Corporation in the third quarter of 2019, also offers hydrogen generation, and fuel cell products. We continue to serve all our markets as they adopt electrification and alternative power technologies, meeting the needs of our OEM partners and end customers.

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

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

NOTE 17. RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

On January 1, 2019, we adopted the new lease standard in accordance with GAAP. See NOTE 9, "LEASES," for detailed information about the adoption of this standard.

On January 1, 2019, we adopted the new FASB standard related to accounting for derivatives and hedging. The new standard allows the initial hedge effectiveness assessment to be performed by the end of the first quarter in which the hedge is designated rather than concurrently with entering into the hedge transaction. The changes also expand the use of a periodic qualitative hedge effectiveness assessment in lieu of an ongoing quantitative assessment performed throughout the life of the hedge. The revision removes the requirement to record ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges through the income statement when a hedge is considered highly effective, instead deferring all related hedge gains and losses in other comprehensive income until the hedged item impacts earnings. The modifications permit hedging the contractually-specified price of a component of a commodity purchase and revises certain disclosure requirements. We adopted the new standard on a modified retrospective basis for existing cash flow hedges and prospectively for disclosures. The amendments did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and no transition adjustment was required upon adoption. The adoption of this standard did not materially change our policies for existing hedges.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective

In August 2018, the FASB issued a new standard that aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement accounted for as a service contract with the model currently used for internal use software costs. Under the new standard, costs that meet certain criteria will be required to be capitalized on the balance sheet and subsequently amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement. The standard is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The standard allows for either prospective or retrospective transition. We are still evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to 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 do not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

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

Worldwide revenues decreased 3 percent in the three months ended September 29, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, as lower sales in Engine and Components segments were partially offset by higher sales in the Distribution and Power Systems segments. International demand (excludes the U.S. and Canada) declined by 8 percent, with lower sales in most regions. The decrease in international sales was principally due to lower on-highway demand (mainly the light-commercial vehicle (LCV) market in China and truck markets in Western Europe, India and Brazil, which also negatively impacted our turbo technologies and emission solutions businesses), lower off-highway demand in construction markets in China and India and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 3 percent of international sales (primarily the British pound, Chinese renminbi, Euro and Australian dollar). Net sales in the U.S. and Canada improved less than 1 percent primarily due to increased demand in the pick-up truck market, increased emission solutions sales and sales of power generation equipment to data center customers, mostly offset by decreased demand in the heavy-duty truck market and lower off-highway demand (primarily oil and gas and construction markets).

Worldwide revenues increased 2 percent in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, as higher sales in Distribution were partially offset by lower sales in the Engine, Components and Power Systems segments. Net sales in the U.S. and Canada improved by 7 percent, primarily due to increased demand in the North American on-highway markets (mainly in the heavy-duty and medium-duty truck and pick-up markets) and sales of power generation equipment to data center customers, partially offset by lower off-highway demand in oil and gas markets. International demand (excludes the U.S. and Canada) declined by 5 percent, with lower sales in most markets (especially in Europe, India, China and Russia). The decrease in international sales was driven by lower on-highway demand (mainly in the LCV market in China and Russia and truck markets in Western Europe, China and India, which negatively impacted our emission solutions and turbo technologies businesses), unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 4 percent of international sales (primarily the Chinese renminbi, Euro, British pound, Australian dollar, Brazilian real and Indian rupee) and lower off-highway demand in construction markets in

Net income attributable to Cummins was $622 million, or $3.97 per diluted share, on sales of $5.8 billion for the three months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins of $692 million, or $4.28 per diluted share, on sales of $5.9 billion. The decreases in net income and earnings per diluted share were driven by lower net sales, decreased gross margin, lower equity, royalty and interest income from investees and lower favorable discrete tax items, partially offset by lower variable compensation expenses and favorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily the British pound). The decreases in gross margin and gross margin percentage were primarily due to lower volumes and tariff impacts, partially offset by favorable pricing, lower material costs and decreased warranty expenses. Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended September 29, 2019, benefited $0.04 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding due to the stock repurchase program.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $1,960 million, or $12.45 per diluted share, on sales of $18.0 billion for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins of $1,562 million, or $9.53 per diluted share, on sales of $17.6 billion. The increases in net income and earnings per diluted share were driven by higher net sales, increased gross margin, an increase in gains on corporate owned life insurance, a lower effective tax rate (due to $30 million of favorable discrete tax items recognized in the first nine months of 2019 and the absence of a net $37 million of unfavorable discrete tax items recognized in the comparable period in 2018) and lower variable compensation expenses, partially offset by higher research, development and engineering expenses and lower equity, royalty and interest

income from investees. The increases in gross margin and gross margin percentage were mainly due to lower warranty costs (due to absence of the $368 million engine system campaign accrual recorded in the first half of 2018), increased pricing and lower material costs, partially offset by tariff impacts, unfavorable foreign currency impacts (primarily the Australian dollar, Euro, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar and South African rand, partially offset by the British pound) and lower volumes. See Note 11, "PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the engine system campaign. Diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, benefited $0.10 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding, primarily due to the stock repurchase programs.

We generated $2,343 million of cash from operations for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, compared to $1,388 million for the comparable period in 2018. Refer to the section titled "Cash Flows" in the "LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES" section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.

Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at September 29, 2019, was 23.3 percent, compared to 23.1 percent at December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher outstanding commercial paper. At September 29, 2019, we had $1.9 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand and access to our $3.5 billion credit facilities, if necessary, to meet currently anticipated investment and funding needs. In July 2019, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 15 percent from $1.14 per share to $1.311 per share.

We expect our effective tax rate for the full year of 2019 to approximate 21.5 percent, excluding any discrete tax items.

In the first nine months of 2019, the investment gain on our U.S. pension trust was 14.7 percent while our U.K. pension trust gain was 18.9 percent. We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2019 of $13 million for our U.S. and U.K. pension plans. Approximately $91 million of the estimated $123 million of U.S. and U.K. pension contributions for the full year are voluntary. We expect our 2019 net periodic pension cost to approximate $64 million.

On September 9, 2019, we acquired an 81 percent interest in Hydrogenics Corporation for total consideration of $235 million. The Hydrogen Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of L’Air Liquide, S.A., will maintain a non-controlling interest in Hydrogenics. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination and included it in the Electrified Power segment in the third quarter of 2019. See Note 15, "ACQUISITIONS," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

In October 2019, we initiated a voluntary retirement program for eligible employees in the U.S. Costs for this program will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended September 29, 2019, decreased by $175 million versus the comparable period in 2018. The primary drivers were as follows:


•	Engine segment sales decreased 11 percent due to lower demand in global construction markets, especially in China and North America, and lower volumes in the North American heavy-duty truck market.


•	Components segment sales decreased 6 percent, primarily due to lower truck demand in Western Europe, India and China.


•	Unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations of 1 percent of total sales, primarily in the British pound, Chinese renminbi, Euro and Australian dollar.

Table of Contents

These decreases were partially offset by:


•	Distribution segment sales increased 4 percent primarily due to higher demand in North America and Western Europe, especially in the power generation product line.


•	Power Systems sales increased 2 percent primarily due to higher demand in global mining markets and power generation markets in North America, China and Eastern Europe, partially offset by lower oil and gas demand in North America.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, increased $348 million versus the comparable period in 2018. The primary driver was the Distribution segment as sales increased 4 percent, primarily due to higher demand in most geographic regions, especially in North America, and increased demand in the power generation product line.

This increase was partially offset by:


•	Unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations of 2 percent of total sales, primarily in the Chinese renminbi, Euro, British pound, Australian dollar, Brazilian real and Indian rupee.


•	Engine segment sales decreased 1 percent, primarily due to lower demand in China for LCV and off-highway construction markets, lower global bus sales and decreased medium-duty truck demand in Brazil, partially offset by higher volumes in North American heavy-duty and pick-up truck markets.

Sales to international markets (excluding the U.S. and Canada), based on location of customers, for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, were 37 percent and 38 percent of total net sales compared with 39 percent and 40 percent of total net sales for the comparable periods in 2018. A more detailed discussion of sales by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

Cost of Sales

The types of expenses included in cost of sales are the following: parts and material consumption, including direct and indirect materials; salaries, wages and benefits; depreciation on production equipment and facilities and amortization of technology intangibles; estimated costs of warranty programs and campaigns; production utilities; production-related purchasing; warehousing, including receiving and inspection; engineering support costs; repairs and maintenance; production and warehousing facility property insurance; rent for production facilities and other production overhead.

Gross Margin

Gross margin decreased $57 million for the three months ended September 29, 2019 and decreased 0.2 points as a percentage of sales, versus the comparable period in 2018. The decreases in gross margin and gross margin percentage were primarily due to lower volumes and tariff impacts, partially offset by favorable pricing, lower material costs and decreased warranty expenses.

Gross margin increased $476 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2019 and increased 2.1 points as a percentage of sales versus the comparable period in 2018. The increases in gross margin and gross margin percentage were mainly due to lower warranty costs (due to absence of the $368 million engine system campaign accrual recorded in the first half of 2018), increased pricing and lower material costs, partially offset by tariff impacts, unfavorable foreign currency impacts (primarily the Australian dollar, Euro, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar and South African rand, partially offset by the British pound) and lower volumes. See Note 11, "PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The provision for base warranties issued as a percent of sales for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, was 1.8 percent and 2.0 percent, respectively, compared to 2.0 percent and 1.9 percent for the comparable periods in 2018. A detailed discussion of gross margin by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4 million for the three months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to lower variable compensation expenses, partially offset by higher consulting and compensation expenses. Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to 10.4 percent in the three months ended September 29, 2019, from 10.2 percent in the comparable period in 2018.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $28 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to higher consulting and compensation expenses, partially offset by lower variable

compensation expenses. Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 10.1 percent in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, from 10.2 percent in the comparable period in 2018.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses

Research, development and engineering expenses increased $13 million for the three months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to increased consulting and compensation expenses and decreased expense recovery, partially offset by lower variable compensation expenses. Overall, research, development and engineering expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 4.2 percent in the three months ended September 29, 2019, from 3.9 percent in the comparable period in 2018.

Research, development and engineering expenses increased $72 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to increased compensation expense driven by headcount growth, including increased staffing for the Electrified Power segment, decreased expense recovery and increased consulting expenses, partially offset by lower variable compensation expenses. Overall, research, development and engineering expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 4.1 percent in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, from 3.7 percent in the comparable period in 2018. Research activities continue to focus on development of new products to meet future emission standards around the world, improvements in fuel economy performance of diesel and natural gas powered engines and related components as well as development activities around fully electric, hybrid and hydrogen powertrain solutions.

Equity, Royalty and Interest Income from Investees

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees decreased $22 million for the three months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to lower earnings at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Company, Ltd., Tata Cummins Ltd. and Cummins Westport.

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees decreased $59 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to lower earnings in China and India, especially at Tata Cummins Ltd., Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Company, Ltd., Chongqing Cummins Engine Company, Ltd., and Dongfeng Cummins Emission Solutions Company, Ltd.

⁽¹⁾Includes $35 million in gains from unwinding derivative instruments not designated as hedges as a result of foreign dividends paid during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate for 2019 is expected to approximate 21.5 percent, excluding any discrete items that may arise.

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, were 18.4 percent and 20.3 percent, respectively.

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were 13.3 percent and 22.8 percent, respectively.

The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, was primarily due to favorable net discrete tax items related to Tax Legislation. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, was not significant.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to non-Cummins ownership interests in our consolidated entities. Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, decreased $12 million and $5 million, respectively, versus the comparable periods in 2018, primarily due to decreased earnings at Eaton Cummins Joint Venture and Cummins India Limited.

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

Net income and diluted earnings per common share attributable to Cummins Inc. for the three months ended September 29, 2019, decreased $70 million and $0.31 per diluted share versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to lower net sales, decreased gross margin, lower equity, royalty and interest income from investees and lower favorable discrete tax items, partially offset by lower variable compensation expenses and favorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily the British pound). Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended September 29, 2019, benefited $0.04 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding due to the stock repurchase program.

Table of Contents

Net income and diluted earnings per common share attributable to Cummins Inc. for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, increased $398 million and $2.92 per diluted share versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to higher net sales, increased gross margin, an increase in gains on corporate owned life insurance, a lower effective tax rate (due to $30 million of favorable discrete tax items recognized in the first nine months of 2019 and the absence of a net $37 million of unfavorable discrete tax items recognized in the comparable period in 2018) and lower variable compensation expenses, partially offset by higher research, development and engineering expenses and lower equity, royalty and interest income from investees. Diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, benefited $0.10 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding, primarily due to the stock repurchase programs.

Comprehensive Income - Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

The foreign currency translation adjustment was a net loss of $182 million and $197 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, compared to a net loss of $159 million and $374 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and was driven by the following:

Sales

Engine segment sales for the three months ended September 29, 2019, decreased $310 million versus the comparable period in 2018. The following were the primary drivers by market:


•	Off-highway sales decreased $110 million primarily due to lower demand in global construction markets, especially in China and North America.


•	Heavy-duty truck sales decreased $107 million principally due to lower volumes in the North American heavy-duty truck market with decreased shipments of 18 percent.


•	Medium-duty truck and bus sales decreased $54 million mainly due to lower demand in Brazil medium-duty truck markets and global bus markets, especially in North America.


•	Light-duty automotive sales decreased $39 million primarily due to lower LCV sales in China, partially offset by higher pick-up sales in North America.

Engine segment sales for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, decreased $96 million versus the comparable period in 2018. The following were the primary drivers by market:


•	Off-highway sales decreased $117 million primarily due to lower demand in construction markets in China and India.


•	Medium-duty truck and bus sales decreased $63 million principally due to decreased global bus sales and lower medium-duty truck demand in Brazil, partially offset by increased medium-duty truck sales in North America.


•	Unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, primarily in the Chinese renminbi, Brazilian real and Euro.

These decreases were partially offset by increased heavy-duty truck sales of $107 million mainly due to higher volumes in North America with increased shipments of 5 percent.

Segment EBITDA

Engine segment EBITDA for the three months ended September 29, 2019, decreased $64 million versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to lower gross margin, a $33 million charge related to ending production of the 5-liter ISV engine for the U.S. pick-up truck market and decreased equity, royalty and interest income from investees. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to lower volumes and tariff impacts, partially offset by improved pricing. The decrease in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was largely due to lower earnings at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Tata Cummins, Ltd and Cummins Westport.

Engine segment EBITDA for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, increased $142 million versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to higher gross margin, partially offset by decreased equity, royalty and interest income from investees, a $33 million charge related to ending production of the 5-liter ISV engine for the U.S. pick-up truck market and increased selling, general and administrative expenses and higher research, development and engineering expenses. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to the absence of a $184 million engine system campaign accrual recorded in the first half of 2018, improved pricing and favorable mix, partially offset by lower volumes and tariff impacts. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased principally due to higher consulting expenses and increased compensation expenses, partially offset by decreased variable compensation expenses. The increase in research, development and engineering expenses was primarily due to lower expense recovery and higher consulting expenses, partially offset by lower variable compensation expenses. The decrease in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was largely due to lower earnings at Tata Cummins, Ltd. and Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co.

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	September 29, 2019			December 31, 2018
Working capital ⁽¹⁾	$	3,503		$	3,434
Current ratio	1.52			1.54
Accounts and notes receivable, net	$	3,934		$	3,866
Days' sales in receivables	59			57
Inventories	$	3,821		$	3,759
Inventory turnover	4.5			4.9
Accounts payable (principally trade)	$	2,830		$	2,822

⁽¹⁾Working capital includes cash and cash equivalents.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents were impacted as follows:



	Nine months ended
In millions	September 29, 2019			September 30, 2018			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	2,343		$	1,388		$	955
Net cash used in investing activities	(829		)	(519		)	(310		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(1,198		)	(960		)	(238		)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(59		)	(56		)	(3		)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	257		$	(147	)	$	404

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $955 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to higher consolidated net income of $393 million, lower working capital requirements of $367 million, lower deferred income taxes of $153 million and higher dividends from equity investees of $64 million. During the first nine months of 2019, the lower working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $192 million compared to a cash outflow of $559 million in the comparable period in 2018.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $310 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to the acquisition of Hydrogenics for $235 million, higher net investments in marketable securities of $53 million and increased capital expenditures of $34 million.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $238 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to lower net borrowings of commercial paper of $380 million, partially offset by lower repurchases of common stock of $73 million and increased net borrowings under short-term credit agreements of $44 million.

The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, versus the comparable period in 2018, increased $3 million primarily due to an unfavorable $13 million fluctuation in the British pound, partially offset by favorable fluctuations in the Indian rupee and Chinese renminbi.

Sources of Liquidity

We generate significant ongoing cash flow. Cash provided by operations is our principal source of liquidity with $2,343 million generated in the nine months ended September 29, 2019. Our sources of liquidity included:



	September 29, 2019
In millions	Total		U.S.		International		Primary location of international balances
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,560	$	431	$	1,129	China, Singapore, Netherlands, Mexico, Belgium, Australia
Marketable securities ⁽¹⁾	303		61		242		India
Total	$	1,863	$	492	$	1,371
Available credit capacity
Revolving credit facilities ⁽²⁾	$	2,598
International and other uncommitted domestic credit facilities	$	200

____________________________________

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

⁽²⁾The five-year credit facility for $2.0 billion and the 364-day credit facility for $1.5 billion, maturing August 2023 and August 2020, respectively, are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. At September 29, 2019, we had $902 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced the available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $2.6 billion.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

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

Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity

We can issue up to $3.5 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes ("commercial paper") pursuant to our board authorized commercial paper programs. The programs facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes. The total combined borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility and commercial program should not exceed $3.5 billion. See Note 10, "DEBT," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Uses of Cash

Stock Repurchases

In October 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $2 billion of additional common stock. In the first nine months of 2019, we made the following purchases under the 2018 stock repurchase program:



In millions, except per share amounts	Shares Purchased	Average Cost Per Share		Total Cost of Repurchases		Remaining Authorized Capacity ⁽¹⁾
March 31	0.7	$	137.80	$	100	$	1,806
June 30	—	—		—		1,806
September 29	4.6	152.57		706		1,100
Total	5.3	$	150.57	$	806

____________________________________

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

After September 29, 2019, we continued to purchase an additional 1.6 million shares for $256 million through October 29, 2019, in-line with our 2019 commitment to return cash to our shareholders. We intend to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during 2019 to enhance shareholder value and to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock-based compensation plans.

Dividends

In July 2019, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 15 percent from $1.14 per share to $1.311 per share.

We paid dividends of $562 million during the nine months ended September 29, 2019.

Acquisition

On September 9, 2019, we acquired an 81 percent interest in Hydrogenics Corporation for total consideration of $235 million. The Hydrogen Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of L’Air Liquide, S.A., will maintain a non-controlling interest in Hydrogenics. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination and included it in the Electrified Power segment in the third quarter of 2019. See Note 15, "ACQUISITIONS," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures, including spending on internal use software, for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, were $445 million versus $416 million in the comparable period in 2018. We plan to spend an estimated $650 million to $700 million in 2019 on capital expenditures as we continue with product launches and facility improvements. Approximately 50 percent of our capital expenditures are expected to be invested outside of the U.S. in 2019. In addition, we plan to spend an estimated $65 million to $75 million on internal use software in 2019.

Pensions

Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 115 percent funded at December 31, 2018. Our U.S. plan, which represents approximately 54 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, was 131 percent funded and our U.K. plan was 115 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 2019, the investment gain on our U.S. pension trust was 14.7 percent while our U.K. pension trust gain was 18.9 percent. Approximately 75 percent of our pension plan assets are held in highly liquid investments such as fixed income and equity securities. The remaining 25 percent of our plan assets are held in less liquid, but market valued investments, including real estate, private equity, venture capital, opportunistic credit and insurance contracts. We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2019 of $13 million for our U.S. and U.K. pension plans. Approximately $91 million of the estimated $123 million of U.S. and U.K. pension contributions for the full year are voluntary. 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 2019 net periodic pension cost to approximate $64 million.

Current Maturities of Short and Long-Term Debt

We had $902 million of commercial paper outstanding at September 29, 2019, that matures in less than one year. The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not require significant cash outflows until 2023. Required annual principal payments range from $9 million to $507 million over the next five years (including the remainder of 2019). See Note 10, "DEBT," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Credit Ratings

Our ratings and outlook from each of the credit rating agencies as of the date of filing are shown in the table below.



	Long-Term	Short-Term
Credit Rating Agency ⁽¹⁾	Senior Debt Rating	Debt Rating	Outlook
Standard and Poor’s Rating Services	A+	A1	Stable
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.	A2	P1	Stable

⁽¹⁾ Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, are subject to change, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. In addition, we undertake no obligation to update disclosures concerning our credit ratings, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Management's Assessment of Liquidity

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

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, “SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2018 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, pension benefits and goodwill impairment.

A discussion of our critical accounting estimates may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of our 2018 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 2019.

RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 17, "RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

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 2018 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 2018 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 (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), 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 CEO and our CFO 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 CEO and CFO, 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 September 29, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to numerous lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary course of our business, including actions related to product liability; personal injury; the use and performance of our products; warranty matters; product recalls; patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement; contractual liability; the conduct of our business; tax reporting in foreign jurisdictions; distributor termination; workplace safety; and environmental matters. We also have been identified as a potentially responsible party at multiple waste disposal sites under U.S. federal and related state environmental statutes and regulations and may have joint and several liability for any investigation and remediation costs incurred with respect to such sites. We have denied liability with respect to many of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings and are vigorously defending such lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We carry various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be applicable or adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us with respect to these lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We do not believe that these lawsuits are material individually or in the aggregate. While we believe we have also established adequate accruals pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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.

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

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should consider other risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K or the "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION" in this Quarterly report are not the only risks we face. In addition, the following risk factor is provided to supplement and update the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently judge to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

We are conducting a formal internal review of our emissions certification process and compliance with emissions standards with respect to our pick-up truck applications and working with the EPA and CARB, as well as the DOJ and SEC, to address their questions about these applications. The results of this formal review and regulatory and government agency processes, or the discovery of any noncompliance issues, could have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

We previously announced that we are conducting a formal internal review of our emissions certification process and compliance with emissions standards with respect to all of our pick-up truck applications, following conversations with the EPA and CARB regarding certification of our engines for model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks. During conversations with the EPA and CARB about the effectiveness of our pick-up truck applications, the regulators raised concerns that certain aspects of our emissions systems may reduce the effectiveness of our emissions control systems and thereby act as defeat devices. As a result, our internal review focuses, in part, on the regulators’ concerns.

During our discussions, the regulators have asked us to look at other model years and other engines, though the primary focus of our review has been the model year 2019 RAM. We will continue to work together closely with the relevant regulators to develop and implement recommendations for improvement as part of our ongoing commitment to compliance. We are also fully cooperating with the DOJ's and the SEC's information requests and inquiries.

Due to the continuing nature of the formal review, our ongoing cooperation with our regulators and other government agencies, and the presence of many unknown facts and circumstances, we are not yet able to estimate the financial impact of these matters. It is possible that the consequences of any remediation plans resulting from our formal review and these regulatory and agency processes could have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows in the periods in which these emissions certification issues are addressed.

____________________________________

⁽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 program.

⁽²⁾ These values reflect the sum of shares held in loan status under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan. The repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors does not limit the number of shares that may be purchased and was excluded from this column. The dollar value remaining available for future purchases under the 2018 program at September 29, 2019, was $1.1 billion.

In October 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $2 billion of additional common stock. During the three months ended September 29, 2019, we repurchased $706 million of common stock under this authorization.

During the three months ended September 29, 2019, we repurchased 5,106 shares of common stock 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 their 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.
