(“Cummins,” “the Company,” “the registrant,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a leading global power provider that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines, electric power generation systems and engine-related component products, including filtration and emissions solutions, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls and air handling systems.  We were founded in 1919 as one of the first manufacturers of diesel engines and are headquartered in Columbus, Indiana.  We sell our products to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide.  We serve our customers through a network of more than 500 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 5,200 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 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) 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.

 

Our reporting period ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period.  The second quarters of 2009 and 2008 ended on June 28, and June 29, respectively.  The interim periods for both 2009 and 2008 contain 13 weeks.  Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the 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, estimates of future cash flows and other assumptions associated with goodwill and long-lived asset impairment tests, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, warranty programs, determination of discount and other rate assumptions for pension and other postretirement benefit expenses, income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances and contingencies.  Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.

 

The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding exclude 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 six month periods ended June 28, 2009, and June 29, 2008, were as follows:

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income, as well as adjustments for foreign currency translation, marketable securities, derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and pension and other postretirement defined benefits.  Total comprehensive income attributable to Cummins Inc. for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, was $177 million and $198 million, respectively.  Total comprehensive income attributable to Cummins Inc. for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2008, was $269 million and $505 million, respectively.

 

Total comprehensive income attributable to the noncontrolling interests for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, was $25 million and $27 million, respectively.  Total comprehensive income attributable to the noncontrolling interests for the three and six month periods ended Jun 29, 2008, was $7 million and $16 million, respectively.

Consolidated comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, was $202 million and $225 million, respectively.  Consolidated comprehensive income for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2008, was $276 million and $521 million, respectively.

 

You should read these interim condensed financial statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Our interim period financial results for the three and six month interim 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.

 

NOTE 3.  RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (SFAS 160), which is effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008.  This standard amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” (ARB 51) and establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the accounting for future ownership changes with respect to those subsidiaries.  This standard defines a noncontrolling interest, previously called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent.  This standard requires, among other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included in the consolidated balance sheet within equity separate from the parent’s equity; consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the parent’s and noncontrolling interest’s shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated statements of income; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value.  We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009, and applied it retrospectively.  As a result, we reclassified noncontrolling interests of $246 million from the mezzanine section to equity in the December 31, 2008, balance sheet.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the presentation of the current period under this standard.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 161), which is effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  This standard amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) and requires enhanced disclosures about a company’s derivative and hedging activities.  We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009, and applied it prospectively.  The new disclosures required by this standard are included in Note 11.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued three new FASB Staff Positions (FSPs) all of which impact the accounting and disclosure related to certain financial instruments.  FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP FAS 157-4) provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased.  It also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly.  FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment” (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2) amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements.  FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1) amends FASB Statement No. 107 to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments on an interim basis in addition to the annual disclosure requirements.  The new disclosures required by this FSP are included in Note 11.  These FSPs were required to be adopted for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009.  These staff positions did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (SFAS 165), which is effective for interim and annual fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2009.  This standard establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  This standard sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which we should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which we should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in our financial

statements and the disclosures that we should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.  In preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we evaluated subsequent events through July 30, 2009, which is the date our quarterly report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commision.

 

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS 166), which is effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2009.  This standard removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from FASB Statement No. 140 and removes the exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (revised December 2003) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities to variable interest entities that are qualifying special-purpose entities (FIN 46(R)).  This standard modifies the financial-components approach used in SFAS 140 and limits the circumstances in which a financial asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized.  This standard also requires enhanced disclosure regarding transfers of financial interests and a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred assets.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (SFAS 167), which is effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2009.  This standard requires entities to analyze whether their variable interests give it a controlling financial interest of a variable interest entity (VIE) and outlines what defines a primary beneficiary.  This statement amends FIN 46(R) by: (a) changing certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE; (b) eliminating the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary; and (c) requiring entities to continuously analyze whether they are the primary beneficiary of a VIE among other amendments.  This statement also requires enhanced disclosures regarding an entity’s involvement in a VIE.  It is possible that application of this revised guidance will change our assessment of which entities in which we are involved are VIEs or whether or not we are the primary beneficiary.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In July 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (SFAS 168), which is effective for interim and annual fiscal periods ending after September 15, 2009.  This standard replaces SFAS 162, and the codification from this standard will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards to become the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP.  The adoption of this standard will have no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 6.  RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

 

2009 Restructuring Actions

 

In 2009, we executed restructuring actions in response to a reduction in orders in most of our U.S. and foreign markets due to the continuing deterioration in the global economy.  We reduced our global workforce by

 

10



 

approximately 850 professional employees.  In addition, we took numerous employee actions at many of our manufacturing locations, including approximately 2,600 hourly employees, significant downsizing at numerous facilities and complete closure of several facilities and branch distributor locations.  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, union contracts or statutory requirements and the expected timetable for completion of the plan.  Estimates of restructuring 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.  Total workforce reductions as of June 28, 2009, were substantially completed.

 

In response to closures and downsizing noted above, we incurred $2 million of restructuring expenses for lease terminations and $4 million of restructuring expenses for asset impairments.  During 2009 we recorded a total pre-tax restructuring charge of $73 million, net of the $1 million favorable change in estimate related to 2008 actions, in “Restructuring charges” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income related to the 2009 actions.  These restructuring actions included:

2008 Restructuring Actions

 

In 2008 we executed restructuring actions in response to the continued deterioration in our U.S. businesses and most key markets around the world in the second half of 2008, as well as a reduction in orders in most U.S. and foreign markets for 2009.  In 2008 we announced reductions of our global workforce by approximately 650 professional employees.  In addition, we took numerous employee actions at many of our manufacturing locations, including approximately 800 hourly employees.  Total workforce reductions as of June 28, 2009, were substantially completed.

 

The charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008, included severance costs related to both voluntary and involuntary terminations.  During 2008, we incurred a pretax charge related to the professional and hourly

restructuring initiatives of $37 million.  The following table summarizes the balance of accrued restructuring charges and the changes in the accrued amounts for the applicable periods.  The restructuring related accruals were recorded in “Other accrued expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 8.  PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY

 

We charge the estimated costs of warranty programs, other than product recalls, to income at the time products are shipped to customers.  We use historical claims experience to develop the estimated liability.  We review product recall programs on a quarterly basis and, if necessary, record a liability when we commit to an action.  We also sell extended warranty coverage on several engines.  The following is a tabular reconciliation of the product warranty liability, including the deferred revenue related to our extended warranty coverage:

The amount of deferred revenue related to extended coverage programs as of June 28, 2009, was $243 million.  As of June 28, 2009, we had $12 million of receivables related to estimated supplier recoveries of which $6 million was included in “Trade and other” receivables and $6 million was included in “Other assets” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

During 2008 and 2009, actual cost trends for certain midrange engine products, including product launched in 2007 and for which warranty periods can extend to five years, indicated higher per claim repair cost than the product on which the initial accrual rate was developed.  These products include more electronic parts than historical models, contributing to the higher cost per claim.  In addition, certain products introduced in 2003 and sold prior to 2007 for which the warranty period extended five years also demonstrated higher cost per claim than that of predecessor products.  We increased our liability in 2008 as these experience trends became evident.

 

NOTE 9.  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 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.  Some of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings involve substantial amounts.  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

 

12



 

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 operation, financial condition or cash flows.

 

In June 2008, four Cummins sites in Southern Indiana, including our Technical Center, experienced extensive damage caused by flood water from an unusually high amount of rainfall.  We have been in ongoing discussions with our insurance carriers regarding our claim.  In May 2009, our insurance carriers filed a law suit seeking a declaratory judgment that a lower policy sublimit applies to the Technical Center based upon an allegation that the site is located in a flood plain.  In addition, they allege that certain other damages and losses claimed by Cummins are not covered by insurance.  Cummins has also filed suit seeking a declaratory judgment that all losses suffered by Cummins are covered under the insurance policies, as well as a claim that the insurance companies have acted in bad faith.  We have finalized the documentation of Cummins’ $199 million claim ($116 million expense and $83 million capital), which does not include an additional claim amount related to business interruption.  We remain confident that we will recover a majority of the amounts due to us under the insurance policies.  We have incurred approximately $88 million in expense and $42 million in capital of our $199 million claim through June 28, 2009.  We recorded flood damage expenses of $9 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2009.  These expenses were included in “Other operating (expense) income” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

U.S. Distributor Commitments

 

We had an operating agreement with a financial institution that provided financing to certain independent Cummins and Onan distributors in the U.S., and to certain distributors in which we own an equity interest.  Under this agreement, if any distributor defaulted under its financing arrangement with the financial institution, and the maturity of amounts owed under the agreement were accelerated, then we were required to purchase from the financial institution, at amounts approximating fair market value, certain property, inventory and rental generator sets manufactured by Cummins that are secured by the distributor’s financing agreement.

 

The distributor agreement with the financial institution was refinanced and Cummins did not make any new commitments, thereby relieving Cummins of responsibility to purchase any assets from the financial institution in event of default by the distributors.

 

Our licensing agreements with independent and partially owned distributors generally have a three-year term and are restricted to specified territories.  Our distributors develop and maintain a network of dealers with which we have no direct relationship.  The distributors are permitted to sell other, noncompetitive products only with our consent.  We license all of our distributors to use our name and logo in connection with the sale and service of our products, with no right to assign or sublicense the marks, except to authorized dealers, without our consent.  Products are sold to the distributors at standard domestic or international distributor net prices, as applicable.  Net prices are wholesale prices we establish to permit our distributors an adequate margin on their sales.  Subject to local laws, we can refuse to renew these agreements at will and we may terminate them upon 90-day notice for inadequate sales, change in principal ownership and certain other reasons.  Distributors also have the right to terminate the agreements upon 60-day notice without cause, or 30-day notice for cause.  Upon termination or failure to renew, we are required to purchase the distributor’s current inventory, signage and special tools, and may, at our option purchase other assets of the distributor, but are under no obligation to do so.

 

Residual Value Guarantees

 

We have various residual value guarantees on equipment leased under operating leases.  The total amount of these residual value guarantees at June 28, 2009, was $8 million.

 

13



 

Other Guarantees and Commitments

 

In addition to the guarantees discussed above, from time to time we enter into other guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financing and other miscellaneous guarantees of third-party obligations.  As of June 28, 2009, the maximum potential loss related to these other guarantees is $64 million ($62 million of which relates to the Beijing Foton discussion below).

 

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties.  The penalty amounts are less than our purchase commitments and essentially allow the supplier to recover their tooling costs in most instances.  As of June 28, 2009, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the amount of the penalty would be approximately $87 million, of which $73 million relates to a contract with an engine parts supplier that extends to 2013.  This arrangement enables us to secure critical components.  We do not anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.

 

In July 2008, Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Company, a 50 percent owned entity accounted for under the equity method, entered into a line of credit agreement with a borrowing capacity of up to $176 million (at current exchange rates).  The line will be used primarily to fund equipment purchases for a new manufacturing plant.  As a part of this transaction, we guaranteed 50 percent of any outstanding borrowings up to a maximum guarantee of $88 million (at current exchange rates).  As of June 28, 2009, outstanding borrowings under this agreement were $124 million and our guarantee was $62 million (at current exchange rates).  We recorded a liability for the fair value of this guarantee in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others—an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.”  The amount of the liability was less than $1 million.  The offset to this liability was an increase in our investment in the joint venture.

 

We have a standby commitment with Irwin Financial Corporation (Irwin) to purchase up to $25 million of its common shares in connection with a potential rights offering being planned by Irwin.  Our commitment is subject to the satisfaction of several conditions.  William I. Miller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Irwin, is currently a member of the board of directors of Cummins and has agreed to resign from that position if the Company makes any investment in Irwin.  The decision by us to enter into our commitment or to make any investment in Irwin has been and will continue to be made by our Board of Directors without the participation of Mr. Miller.

 

Indemnifications

 

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

 

Joint Venture Commitments

 

As of June 28, 2009, we have committed to invest $12 million into existing joint ventures and joint ventures that will be formed in 2009.  It is expected that $10 million will be funded in 2009.

 

NOTE 10.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The majority of the assets and liabilities we carry at fair value are available-for-sale (AFS) securities and derivatives.  AFS securities are derived from level 1 or level 2 inputs.  The predominance of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services.

 

14



 

The fair value measurement of derivatives results primarily from level 2 inputs.  Many of our derivative contracts are valued utilizing publicly available pricing data of contracts with similar terms.  In other cases, the contracts are valued using current spot market data adjusted for the appropriate current forward curves provided by external financial institutions.  We participate in commodity swap contracts, currency forward contracts, and interest rate swaps.  When material, we adjust the values of our derivative contracts for counter-party or our credit risk.

 

The following table summarizes our financial instruments recorded at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 28, 2009:

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, considering our risk premium, the fair value of total debt, including current maturities, at June 28, 2009, was approximately $550 million.  The carrying value at that date was $680 million.  At December 31, 2008, the fair and carrying values of total debt, including current maturities, were $567 million and $698 million, respectively.  The carrying values of all other receivables and liabilities approximated fair values.

 

NOTE 11.  DERIVATIVES

 

We are exposed to financial risk resulting from volatility in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.  This risk is closely monitored and managed through the use of financial derivative instruments including foreign currency forward contracts, commodity forward contracts and interest rate swaps.  As stated in our internal policies and procedures, financial derivatives are used expressly for hedging purposes, and under no circumstances are they used for speculative purposes.  When material, we adjust the value of our derivative contracts for counter-party or our credit risk.  The results and status of our hedging transactions are reported to senior management on a monthly and quarterly basis.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

As a result of our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risks.  We transact business in foreign currencies and, as a result, our income experiences some volatility related to movements in foreign currency exchange rates.  To help manage our exposure to exchange rate volatility, we use foreign exchange forward contracts on a regular basis to hedge forecasted intercompany and third-party sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies.  Our internal policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flows for up to one year.  These foreign currency forward contracts are designated and qualify as foreign currency cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133).  The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss on the forward contract is deferred and reported as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” (AOCL).  When the hedged forecasted transaction (sale or purchase) occurs, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified into income in the same line item associated with the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects income.  The ineffective portion of the hedge, unrealized gain or loss, if any, is recognized in current income during the period of change.  As of June 28, 2009, we expect to reclassify an unrealized net gain of $5 million from AOCL to income over the next year.  For the six month periods ended June 28, 2009, and June 29, 2008, there were no circumstances that would have resulted in the discontinuance of a foreign currency cash flow hedge.

 

To minimize the income volatility resulting from the remeasurement of net monetary assets and payables denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts, which are considered economic hedges.  The objective is to offset the gain or loss from remeasurement with the gain or loss from the fair market valuation of the forward contract.  These derivative instruments are not designated as hedges under SFAS 133.

Commodity Price Risk

 

We are exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices due to contractual agreements with component suppliers.  In order to protect ourselves against future price volatility and, consequently, fluctuations in gross margins, we periodically enter into commodity forward contracts with designated banks to fix the cost of certain raw material purchases with the objective of minimizing changes in inventory cost due to market price fluctuations.  The forward contracts are derivative contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133.  The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss is deferred and reported as a component of AOCL.  When the hedged forecasted transaction (purchase) occurs, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified into income in the same line item associated with the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects income.  The ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recognized in current income in the period in which the ineffectiveness occurs.  As of June 28, 2009, we expect to reclassify an unrealized net loss of $17 million from AOCL to income over the next year.  For the six month period ended June 28, 2009, we discontinued hedge accounting on certain contracts where the forecasted transactions were no longer probable.  The amount reclassified to income as a result of this action was a loss of $2 million.

 

Our internal policy allows for managing these cash flow hedges for up to three years.  The following table summarizes our outstanding commodity forward contracts that were entered into to hedge the cost of certain raw material purchases:

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates.  We manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations through the use of interest rate swaps.  The objective of the swaps is to more effectively balance our borrowing costs and interest rate risk.

 

16



 

In November 2005, we entered into an interest rate swap to effectively convert our $250 million debt, due in 2028, from a fixed rate of 7.125% to a floating rate based on a LIBOR spread.  The terms of the swap mirror those of the debt, with interest paid semi-annually.  This swap qualifies as a fair value hedge under SFAS 133.  The gain or loss on this derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current income as “Interest expense.”  These gains and losses for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, were as follows:

NOTE 12.  LEASE AMENDMENT AND EXTENSION

 

During 2001, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction with a financial institution with regard to certain heavy-duty engine manufacturing equipment.  The lease was classified as an operating lease with a lease term of 11.5 years, expiring June 28, 2013.  The financial institution created a grantor trust to act as the lessor in the arrangement.  The financial institution owns all of the equity in the trust.  The grantor trust has no assets other than the equipment and its rights to the lease agreement with us.  On the initial sale, we received $125 million from the financial institution which was financed with $99 million of non-recourse debt and $26 million of equity. Our obligations to the grantor trust consisted of the payments due under the lease and a $9 million guarantee of the residual value of the equipment.  In addition, we had a fixed price purchase option that was exercisable on January 14, 2009, for approximately $35 million; however, we decided not to exercise this option.

 

In December 2003, the grantor trust which acts as the lessor in the sale and leaseback transaction described above was consolidated as a result of the adoption of FIN 46(R), due primarily to the existence of the residual value guarantee.  As a result of the consolidation, the manufacturing equipment and the trust’s obligations under its non-recourse debt arrangement was included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as property, plant and equipment and long-term debt, respectively.  The equity in the trust held by the financial institution was reported as noncontrolling interest.  The non-recourse debt arrangement is more fully discussed in Note 10 to our annual Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2008 Form 10-K.  In addition, our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income included interest expense on the lessor’s debt obligations and depreciation expense on the manufacturing equipment rather than rent expense under the lease agreement.  In April 2008, the trust made the final payment on the non-recourse debt.

 

In February 2009, we amended the lease agreement to extend the lease for an additional two years to June 2015, and we removed the residual value guarantee.  As a result of removing the residual value guarantee, we are no longer

 

18



 

required to consolidate the grantor trust and we deconsolidated the trust in the first quarter of 2009.  With the deconsolidation, we are now required to account for the leasing arrangement with the trust which qualifies as a capital lease.  The deconsolidation of the trust had minimal impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the present value of the minimum lease payments (including the extension) approximated the amount that was reported as noncontrolling interest as of the date of the amendment.  The reduction in noncontrolling interests and increase in our capital lease liabilities was $35 million.

 

The future lease payments required under the amended lease are as follows:

NOTE 13.  OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

Our reportable operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Power Generation, Components and Distribution.  This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves.  We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings or loss before interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests) as the primary basis for the chief operating decision-maker to evaluate the performance of each operating segment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

We are a leading global power provider that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines, electric power generation systems and engine-related component products, including filtration and exhaust aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls and air handling 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., International Truck and Engine Corporation (Navistar International Corporation), Chrysler Group, LLC (Chrysler), Volvo AB, Daimler Trucks North America (formerly Freightliner), Ford Motor Company, Case New Holland, Komatsu, and Volkswagen.  We serve our customers through a network of more than 500 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 5,200 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

 

Our reportable operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Power Generation, Components and Distribution.  This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. This type of reporting structure allows management to focus its efforts on providing enhanced service to a wide range of customers.  The Engine segment produces engines and parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various industrial markets.  The engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as various industrial applications including construction, mining, agriculture, marine, oil and gas, rail and military.  The Power Generation segment is an integrated provider of power systems which sells engines, generator sets and alternators.  The Components segment includes sales of filtration products, exhaust aftertreatment systems, turbochargers and fuel systems.  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.

 

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 and is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rate levels and our customers’ access to credit.  Our sales may also be impacted by OEM inventory levels and production schedules and stoppages.  Economic downturns in markets we serve generally result in reductions in sales and could impact pricing of our products.  As a worldwide business, our operations are also affected by political, economic and regulatory matters, including environmental and emissions standards, in the countries we serve.  At the same time, our geographic diversity and broad product and service offerings have helped limit the impact of any one industry or customer and the economy of any single country on our consolidated results.

 

However, as was the case in the first quarter of 2009, the widespread nature of the current global economic recession continues to create immediate challenges for most of our businesses and the markets in which they operate.  Demand continued to fall in nearly every market and geographic region around the world, despite some modest improvement in China and India.  We expect demand to remain weak in most of our markets through 2009.  As a result, we took restructuring actions in the first half of 2009, including global workforce reductions and closing or slowing certain local manufacturing operations to align our businesses with reduced customer demand.  These restructuring actions, in conjunction with the significantly reduced demand negatively impacted our operating results for the three and six months ended June 28, 2009.  Should our future performance for the remainder of the year differ adversely from our projections, we could be required to take additional actions as local conditions require.

 

While we expect global demand for our products to be weak for the remainder of the year, certain emerging markets are expected to improve in the second half of the year.  The actions that were initiated in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first half of 2009 have and will continue to enable us to navigate through the downturn and position us to emerge a stronger company.  Our short term priorities remain:

 

·                  to align costs and capacity with the real demand for our products, so that we maintain a solid profit through the downturn;

 

·                  to manage the business in such a way that generates positive cash flow; and

 

·                  to continue to invest in critical technologies and products for 2010 and beyond.

 

Net income attributable to Cummins was $56 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, on sales of $2.4 billion for the three month interim reporting period ended June 28, 2009, versus the comparable prior year period with net income attributable to Cummins of $293 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, on sales of $3.9 billion.  The decrease in income

 

24



 

was driven by a 37 percent decrease in net sales and a 49 percent decrease in gross margin primarily due to significantly lower demand and volumes across most of our businesses.

 

Net income attributable to Cummins was $63 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, on sales of $4.9 billion for the six month interim reporting period ended June 28, 2009, versus the comparable prior year period with net income attributable to Cummins of $483 million, or $2.46 per diluted share, on sales of $7.4 billion.  The decrease in income was driven by a 34 percent decrease in net sales and a 44 percent decrease in gross margin, as we were impacted by lower demand across most of our businesses.  Focused cost reduction efforts helped mitigate the impact of lower volumes.  Restructuring actions in the first half of 2009 were $73 million ($48 million after-tax, or $0.24 per diluted share).  For a detailed discussion of restructuring see “Restructuring Charges” and Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

We continued to strengthen our balance sheet in a challenging environment.  Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased $48 million from year end as we reduced inventories by 14 percent in the same period.  We also reduced total debt by $18 million compared to December 31, 2008.

Net Sales

 

Net sales for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, decreased in all segments versus the comparable periods in 2008, primarily due to decreased demand in all of our segments due to the global economic downturn.

 

A more detailed discussion of sales by segment is presented in the OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS section.

 

Sales to international markets based on location of customers for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, were 56 percent and 54 percent of total net sales, compared with 61 percent and 59 percent of total net sales for the comparable periods in 2008.

Gross margin decreased by $431 million and $693 million for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, versus the comparable periods in 2008, and decreased as a percentage of sales by 4.2 percentage points and 3.2 percentage points, respectively.  The decrease was led by lower volumes, increased warranty expense and increased materials costs.  These decreases in margin were partially offset by improved pricing and decreased production costs.  The decrease in volumes was due to lower sales resulting from the global economic downturn.  The increased materials costs were largely due to losses on hedged commodities which were partially offset by decreasing commodity costs.  The provision for warranties issued as a percent of sales for the three and six month periods was 3.3 percent and 3.2 percent in 2009 compared to 2.9 percent and 3.0 percent in 2008.

 

A more detailed discussion of margin by segment is presented in the OPERATING SEGMENTS RESULTS section.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, decreased versus the comparable periods in 2008, primarily due to decreases of $25 million and $51 million in discretionary spending, in order to conserve cash, and decreases of $33 million and $52 million in compensation and related expenses, respectively.  Compensation and related expenses include salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation.  Variable compensation was reduced due to lower sales and income compared to the prior year period.  Selling, general and administrative expenses also decreased due to cost savings from restructuring actions.  Overall selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 11.8 percent and 12.1 percent in 2009 compared to 9.5 percent and 9.8 percent in 2008 for the three and six month periods ended, respectively.

 

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses

 

Research, development and engineering expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, decreased versus the comparable periods in 2008, primarily due to decreased discretionary spending to conserve cash, increased reimbursements for engineering projects and implemented severance programs.  Overall, research, development and engineering expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 3.2 percent and 3.4 percent in 2009

 

26



 

from 2.7 percent and 2.8 percent in 2008 for the three and six month periods ended, respectively.  Research activities continue to focus on development of new products to meet future environmental standards around the world and improvements to fuel economy performance.

 

Equity, Royalty and Interest Income From Investees

 

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, decreased significantly versus the comparable periods in 2008, primarily due to the following:

Income Tax Expense

 

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 30 percent, absent any additional discrete period activity.  Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income and research tax credits.  The tax rates for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, were 29 percent and 30 percent, respectively.  Our effective tax rates for the comparable prior year periods were 32 percent and 33 percent, respectively.

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 six month periods ended June 28, 2009, decreased versus the comparable periods in 2008, primarily due to lower income at Cummins India Ltd. and Wuxi Holset Engineering Co. Ltd. reflecting the decline in demand as a result of the global economic downturn.

 

Net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cummins Inc.

 

Net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cummins Inc. for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, decreased versus the comparable periods in 2008, primarily due to significantly lower volumes, restructuring charges and lower equity income.  These decreases were partially offset by decreased selling, general and administrative expenses, lower research, development and engineering expenses and lower income tax expense.

 

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

 

2009 Restructuring Actions

 

In 2009, we executed restructuring actions in response to a reduction in orders in most of our U.S. and foreign markets due to the continuing deterioration in the global economy.  We reduced our global workforce by approximately 850 professional employees.  In addition, we took numerous employee actions at many of our manufacturing locations, including approximately 2,600 hourly employees, significant downsizing at numerous facilities and complete closure of several facilities and branch distributor locations.  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, union contracts or statutory requirements and the expected timetable for completion of the plan.  Estimates of restructuring 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.  Total workforce reductions as of June 28, 2009, were substantially completed.

 

In response to closures and downsizing noted above, we incurred $2 million of restructuring expenses for lease terminations and $4 million of restructuring expenses for asset impairments.  During 2009 we recorded a total pre-tax restructuring charge of $73 million, net of the $1 million favorable change in estimate related to 2008 actions, in “Restructuring charges” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income related to the 2009 actions.  These restructuring actions included:

If the restructuring actions are successfully implemented, we expect the annualized savings from the professional actions to be approximately $50 million.  Our charge related to the professional actions was approximately $30 million.  Approximately 40 percent of the savings from the restructuring actions will be realized in cost of sales, 45 percent in selling, general and administrative expenses, and 15 percent in research, development and engineering expenses.  We expect all of the pretax charge, except for asset impairment amounts, to be paid in cash which will be funded with cash generated from operations.

 

2008 Restructuring Actions

 

In 2008 we executed restructuring actions in response to the continued deterioration in our U.S. businesses and most key markets around the world in the second half of 2008, as well as a reduction in orders in most U.S. and foreign markets for 2009.  In 2008 we announced reductions of our global workforce by approximately 650 professional employees.  In addition, we took numerous employee actions at many of our manufacturing locations, including approximately 800 hourly employees.  Total workforce reductions as of June 28, 2009, were substantially completed.

 

The charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008, included severance costs related to both voluntary and involuntary terminations.  During 2008, we incurred a pretax charge related to the professional and hourly restructuring initiatives of $37 million.  The following table summarizes the balance of accrued restructuring charges and the changes in the accrued amounts for the applicable periods.  The restructuring related accruals were recorded in “Other accrued expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

OUTLOOK

 

Near-Term:

 

While we expect global demand for our products to be weak for the remainder of the year, certain emerging markets are expected to improve in the second half of the year.  Many of the markets we serve have slowed significantly as a result of the credit crisis and softening global economic environment and we expect 2009 sales will be down significantly from 2008 levels.  Forecasting for 2009 is a significant challenge with these uncertain market conditions.  Our operating results in 2009 will depend on how the current global economic recession impacts the markets we serve.  In response to anticipated market conditions we initiated voluntary and involuntary separation actions in December of 2008 and the first six months of 2009.  We also initiated certain exit activities during the first six months of 2009.  We expect to continue to focus on cost reductions and scaling production to meet current demand.  If uncertainties in the credit and capital markets continue, the overall impact on our customers as well as end user demand for our products could have a significant adverse impact on our near-term results.  In light of current economic conditions, if demand continues to worsen in 2009, it is reasonably possible that we may be required to take additional restructuring actions and incur additional costs as we decrease production.  These costs

could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.  At this time we cannot estimate these potential charges.

 

Long-Term:

 

While there is uncertainty in the near-term market as a result of the current economic conditions, we continue to be confident that opportunities for long-term growth and profitability will continue in the future.

 

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS

 

Our operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Power Generation, Components and Distribution.  This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves.  We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings or loss before interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests) as the primary basis for the chief operating decision-maker to evaluate the performance of each operating segment.

 

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

Sales

 

Engine segment sales for the three month period ended June 28, 2009, experienced significant deterioration across all major markets, versus the comparable period in 2008, as a result of the global economic downturn.  The following are the primary drivers by market.

 

·                  Industrial market sales decreased due to deterioration in units sold in the construction, marine and mining markets by 76 percent, 27 percent and 56 percent, respectively.

 

30



 

·                  Heavy-duty truck sales declined sharply as international units sold were down 87 percent and North American (includes the U.S and Canada and excludes Mexico) unit sales declined 34 percent.  The decrease in heavy-duty sales was due to global truck fleets continuing to experience financial challenges due to a lack of freight and limited access to credit.  In addition, we experienced a decline in Mexican heavy-duty sales due to an increase in heavy-duty truck sales for the quarter ended June 29, 2008 resulting from the pre-buy activity ahead of Mexico’s July 1, 2008, new emissions requirements, appreciation of the U.S. dollar and an influx of used trucks into the market from the U.S. and Canada permitted under a new law.

 

·                  Medium-duty truck sales decreased significantly due to a 45 percent decline in global truck units sold as a result of the global economic downturn.

 

·                  Light-duty automotive sales decreased significantly due to an 82 percent decline in units sold to Chrysler.  The decrease in units sold to Chrysler was due to Chrysler’s shutdown as part of its reorganization efforts.

 

Engine segment sales for the six month period ended June 28, 2009, experienced significant deterioration across all major markets, versus the comparable period in 2008, as a result of the global economic downturn.  The following are the primary drivers by market.

 

·                  Industrial market sales decreased due to deterioration in units sold in the construction, marine and mining markets by 73 percent, 17 percent and 42 percent, respectively.

 

·                  Heavy-duty truck sales declined sharply as international units sold were down 84 percent and North American unit sales declined 26 percent.  The decrease in heavy-duty sales was due to global truck fleets continuing to experience financial challenges due to a lack of freight and limited access to credit.  In addition, we experienced a decline in Mexican heavy-duty sales due to an increase in heavy-duty truck sales in the first six months of 2008 resulting from the pre-buy activity ahead of Mexico’s July 1, 2008, new emissions requirements, appreciation of the U.S. dollar and an influx of used trucks into the market from the U.S. and Canada permitted under a new law.

 

·                  Medium-duty truck sales decreased significantly due to a 44 percent decline in global truck units sold as a result of the global economic downturn.

 

·                  Light-duty automotive sales decreased significantly due to a 59 percent decline in units sold to Chrysler.  The decrease in units sold to Chrysler was due to Chrysler’s shutdown as part of its reorganization efforts.

 

Total on-highway-related sales for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, were 56 percent and 54 percent of total engine segment sales, compared to 54 percent and 55 percent for the comparable periods in 2008, respectively.

 

Segment EBIT

 

Engine segment EBIT for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, decreased to a loss versus the comparable periods in 2008, primarily due to lower gross margin and equity, royalty and interest income from investees which were partially offset by decreased selling, general and administrative expenses and decreased research, development and engineering expenses.  Changes in Engine segment EBIT and percentage of sales were as follows:

Beginning January 1, 2009, we reorganized the reporting structure of two businesses and moved a portion of our Filtration business into the Emission Solutions business. For the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, the sales for the portion of the business included in Emission Solutions were $25 million and $47 million, respectively. Sales for the portion of the business included in Filtration for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2008, were $37 million and $74 million, respectively. The 2008 balances were not reclassified.

 

Sales

 

Components segment sales for the three month period ended June 28, 2009, decreased significantly in most businesses versus the comparable period in 2008 as the result of the global economic downturn.  The following are the primary drivers by business.

 

·                  Turbocharger business sales decreased significantly due to falling OEM demand in Europe and North America.

 

·                  Filtration business sales decreased significantly due to falling global demand, the transfer of a portion of the business to emissions solutions in 2009, and unfavorable foreign currency translation.

 

·                  Fuel systems business sales decreased primarily due to falling OEM demand in North America and Europe.

 

·                  Emissions solutions business sales decreased due to falling OEM demand across Europe and North America.  These decreases were partially offset by the transfer of a portion of the filtration business into emissions solutions in 2009.

 

Components segment sales for the six month period ended June 28, 2009, decreased significantly in most businesses versus the comparable periods in 2008 as the result of the global economic downturn.  The following are the primary drivers by business.

 

·                  Turbocharger business sales decreased significantly due to falling OEM demand in Europe, North America, and China.

 

·                  Filtration business sales decreased significantly due to falling global demand, the transfer of a portion of the business to emissions solutions in 2009, and unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Segment EBIT

 

Components segment EBIT for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, decreased versus the comparable periods in 2008, primarily due to a lower gross margin which was partially offset by decreased selling, general and administrative and research, development and engineering expenses.  Changes in Components segment EBIT and percentage of sales were as follows:

Sales

 

Distribution segment sales for the three month period ended June 28, 2009, decreased versus the comparable period in 2008, primarily as the result of the global economic downturn and significant unfavorable foreign currency translation.  Excluding the unfavorable currency impact and $3 million benefit from the acquisition of one distributor in 2008 and one distributor in 2009, sales were down $72 million, or 12 percent.  Decreases in revenue from engines, power generation, parts and filtration were partially offset by modest increases in service sales.

 

Distribution segment sales for the six month period ended June 28, 2009, decreased versus the comparable period in 2008, primarily due to significant unfavorable foreign currency translation and the result of the global economic downturn.  Excluding the unfavorable currency impact and $35 million benefit from the acquisition of a majority interest in one distributor in 2008, the acquisition of one distributor in 2008 and the acquisition of one distributor in 2009, sales were down $85 million, or eight percent.  Decreases in revenue from engines, power generation and parts were partially offset by modest increases in service sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Management’s Assessment of Liquidity

 

We believe our financial condition and liquidity remain strong despite the downturn in the global economy.  Our strong balance sheet and credit ratings enable us to continue to have access to credit.

 

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate adequate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities.  Cash provided by operations is our principal source of liquidity.  As of June 28, 2009, other sources of liquidity include:

·                  $551 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities,

·                  $1.06 billion available under our revolving credit facility,

·                  $175 million available under international credit facilities and

·                  $66 million, based on eligible receivables, available under our accounts receivable sales program.

 

While we cannot predict the impact or duration of the global economic recession, we believe our liquidity will provide us with the financial flexibility needed to fund working capital, capital expenditures, projected pension obligations, dividend payments and debt service obligations.

 

We have considered the impact of recent market instability and credit availability in assessing the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources.  We expect that general market conditions could impact the rate at which we realize our receivables in the future and could impact eligible receivables under our accounts receivable program, however, we expect to generate positive cash flow from operations in 2009.  We will continue to diligently monitor our receivables for potential slowing in collections that could occur as a result of softening economic conditions and our customer’s access to credit.  The overall decline in market valuations has impacted the current value of our pension trusts as discussed in more detail below.

 

We believe our access to liquidity sources has not been materially impacted by the current credit environment and we do not expect that it will be materially impacted in the near future.  There can be no assurance, however, that the cost or availability of future borrowings, if any, in the debt markets or our credit facilities will not be materially impacted by the ongoing capital market disruptions.

 

A significant portion of our cash flows is generated outside the U.S.  More than half of our cash and cash equivalents and most of our marketable securities at June 28, 2009, are denominated in foreign currencies.  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.  The repatriation of cash balances from certain subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations at the local level.  We have and will continue to transfer cash from these subsidiaries to us and to other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so.

 

Working Capital Summary

 

We fund our working capital with cash from operations and short-term borrowings 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.

As of June 28, 2009, current assets decreased $340 million compared to December 31, 2008, primarily due to a $248 million decrease in inventory, a $100 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $60 million decrease in marketable securities and a $57 million decrease in receivables, partially offset by an increase in cash of $108 million (see Cash Flows below).

 

37



 

As of June 28, 2009, current liabilities decreased $525 million compared to December 31, 2008, primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable of $236 million due to reduced purchases, a decrease in other accrued expenses of $141 million, a decrease in accrued compensation, benefits and retirement benefits of $81 million, and a decrease in accrued warranty of $61 million.

Operating Activities

 

Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate from period to period, as pension funding decisions, tax timing differences, restructuring charges and other items can significantly impact cash flows.  Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $85 million for the six month period ended June 28, 2009, versus the comparable period in 2008.  The decrease in cash generated from operations was primarily due to the $428 million decline in net income from the lower volumes, partially offset by a $155 million decrease in working capital, a $122 million increase in equity income from investees, net of dividends driven by an $84 million increase in dividends and lower equity earnings, a $43 million increase in translation and hedging, primarily unrealized foreign exchange, and a $26 million positive change in long-term liabilities.  The major components of the change in working capital were as follows: a $484 million decrease in inventories, mostly due to our response to reduced customer demand for most businesses, a $425 million decrease in accounts payable, trade, principally the result of lower purchasing needs and declining commodity prices, a $402 million decrease in receivables, primarily as a result of lower sales across all businesses, and a $344 million decrease in accrued expenses due to lower compensation and benefits, restructuring payments, timing differences and generally lower volume.

 

Pensions

 

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.  As a result of the ongoing credit crisis and the related market recession, our pension assets experienced significant deterioration in 2008.  Through the six month period ended June 28, 2009, the return for our U.S. plan was slightly positive while our U.K. plan return was near zero.  If this trend continues for the remainder of the year, absent any major changes in our other assumptions such as discount rate, this will likely increase our $1.2 billion pre-tax actuarial loss resulting in increased pension expense in 2010.  Approximately 96 percent of our pension plan assets are invested in highly liquid investments such as equity and fixed income securities.  The remaining four percent of our plan assets are invested in less liquid but market valued investments, including real estate and private equity.  We made $59 million of pension contributions in the six month period ended June 28, 2009 and we anticipate making contributions of $125 million to $135 million to our pension plans in 2009.  Expected contributions to our defined pension plans in 2009 will meet or exceed the current funding requirements.  Claims and premiums for other postretirement benefits are expected to approximate $53 million in 2009.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $247 million for the six month period ended June 28, 2009, versus the comparable period in 2008.  The decrease was primarily due to lower investments in the acquisition of businesses of $74 million, a $62 million decrease in capital expenditures, increased cash received from investments in marketable securities of $63 million as our portfolio moves to more liquid short term investments and decreased investments in and advances to equity investees of $42 million.  These decreases occurred as a result of management’s decision to conserve cash and maintain liquidity during the recession.

 

38



 

Capital expenditures for the six month period ended June 28, 2009, decreased 31 percent versus the comparable period in 2008, to $139 million.  The investments made were to support development of our new products.  We continue to invest capital in low-cost regions of the world to further leverage our opportunities for cost reduction and future growth opportunities.  In preparation for the challenging economic climate expected in 2009, we have tightened capital expenditures to preserve cash during the recession, and as a result, expect to spend approximately $300 million to $350 million in 2009 including approximately $50 million of capital expenditures related to the 2008 flood.  See Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding 2008 flood expenditures.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities increased $8 million in the first six months of 2009, versus the comparable period in 2008.  The majority of the increase in cash outflows was due to a decrease of $67 million in proceeds from borrowings, increased dividend payments on common stock of $20 million and decreased tax benefits from stock-based awards of $14 million.  These fluctuations were partially offset by a $57 million decrease in the payments on borrowings and capital lease obligations and a $45 million decrease in the repurchase of common stock.  We announced in February 2009 that we have temporarily suspended our stock repurchase program to conserve cash.  During 2009, we will continue to review the suspension and may from time to time repurchase stock.

 

Our total debt was $680 million as of June 28, 2009, compared with $698 million at December 31, 2008, and $657 million at June 29, 2008.  Total debt as a percent of our total capital, including total long-term debt, was 15.9 percent at June 28, 2009, compared to 16.7 percent at December 31, 2008, and 13.7 percent at June 29, 2008.

OFF BALANCE SHEET FINANCING

 

A discussion of our off balance sheet financing arrangements may be found in Item 7 of our 2008 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 2008 Form 10-K.

 

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

 

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2008 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.  We believe our critical accounting estimates include those addressing the estimation of liabilities for warranty programs, accounting for income taxes, pension benefits and annual assessment of recoverability of goodwill.

 

A discussion of all other critical accounting estimates may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of our 2008 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 six months of 2009.

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 2008 Form 10-K.  There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 2008 Form 10-K.  Further information regarding financial instruments and risk management is discussed in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

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, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits 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 the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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, as more fully described in Item 1 of our 2008 Form 10-K under “Environmental Compliance-Other Environmental Statutes and Regulations.”  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 operation, financial condition or cash flows.

 

In June 2008, four Cummins sites in Southern Indiana, including our Technical Center, experienced extensive damage caused by flood water from an unusually high amount of rainfall.  We have been in ongoing discussions with our insurance carriers regarding our claim.  In May 2009, our insurance carriers filed a law suit seeking a declaratory judgment that a lower policy sublimit applies to the Technical Center based upon an allegation that the site is located in a flood plain.  In addition, they allege that certain other damages and losses claimed by Cummins are not covered by insurance.  Cummins has also filed suit seeking a declaratory judgment that all losses suffered by Cummins are covered under the insurance policies, as well as a claim that the insurance companies have acted in bad faith.  We have finalized the documentation of Cummins’ $199 million claim ($116 million expense and $83 million capital), which does not include an additional claim amount related to business interruption.  We remain confident that we will recover a majority of the amounts due to us under the insurance policies.  We have incurred approximately $88 million in expense and $42 million in capital of our $199 million claim through June 28, 2009.  We recorded flood damage expenses of $9 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2009.  These expenses were included in “Other operating (expense) income” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

The information in Item 1 “Other Environmental Statutes and Regulations” referred to above should be read in conjunction with this disclosure.  See also Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2008 Form 10-K. There has been no material change in this information since the filing of our 2008 Form 10-K.

 

ITEM 1A.  Risk Factors Relating to Our Business

 

Set forth below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are some of the principal risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual business results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements contained in this Report.  In addition, future results could be materially affected by general industry and market conditions, changes in laws or accounting rules, general United States (U.S.) and non-U.S. economic and political conditions, including a global economic slow-down, fluctuation of interest rates or currency exchange rates, terrorism, political unrest or international conflicts, political instability, major health concerns, natural disasters, commodity prices or other disruptions of expected economic and business conditions. These risk factors should be considered in addition to our cautionary comments concerning forward-looking statements in this Report, including statements related to markets for our products and trends in our business that involve a number of risks and

 

41



 

uncertainties.  Our separate section above, “CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION,” should be considered in addition to the following statements.

 

Our consolidated operating results and financial condition may be adversely impacted by worldwide economic conditions and credit tightening.

 

The recent global economic crisis has caused a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, and extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets.  These conditions may make it difficult or impossible for our customers and suppliers to accurately forecast and plan future business activities, which may cause them to slow or suspend spending on products and services.  As our customers face this challenging economic time, they may find it difficult to gain sufficient credit in a timely manner, which could result in an impairment of their ability to place orders with us or to make timely payments to us for previous purchases.  If this occurs, our revenue may be reduced, thereby having a negative impact on our results of operations.  In addition, we may be forced to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts and our days sales outstanding may increase, which would have a negative impact on our cash position, liquidity and financial condition.  As a result of these conditions and depending on the length and impact these conditions have on our individual businesses, we could experience impairments to assets of certain businesses.  We cannot predict the timing or the duration of this or any other economic downturn in the economy.

 

The North American and European automotive industries are in distress and with further deterioration could adversely impact our business.

 

A number of companies in the global automotive industry are facing severe financial difficulties.  In North America, General Motors Corporation (GM), Ford Motor Company and Chrysler Group, LLC (Chrysler) have experienced declining markets; furthermore, GM and Chrysler have filed and exited bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code.  Automakers across Europe and Japan are also experiencing difficulties from a weakened economy and tightening credit markets.  Automotive industry conditions have adversely affected our supply base.  Lower production levels for some of our key suppliers, increases in certain raw material, commodity and energy costs and the global credit market crisis has resulted in severe financial distress among many companies within the automotive supply base.  The continuation of financial distress within the automotive industry and the supply base and/or the bankruptcy of one or more of the automakers may lead to supplier bankruptcies, commercial disputes, supply chain interruptions, supplier requests for company sponsored capital support or a collapse of the supply chain.

 

We have a long-standing relationship with Chrysler for the production of diesel engines for their heavy-duty pick-up truck series.  Chrysler demand for this product decreased in the last twelve months, and accounted for two percent of our consolidated sales for the six month period ended June 28, 2009, and three percent of our consolidated sales in 2008.  On April 30, 2009, Chrysler filed for Chapter 11 under the United States Bankruptcy Code.  As part of the reorganization, Cummins was designated a critical supplier to Chrysler.  The parties were able to reach agreement on pre-petition amounts owed to Cummins without any consequence to Cummins financial statements.  The new Chrysler assumed the terms of the agreement pursuant to which Cummins will supply diesel engines for Chrysler’s heavy-duty truck series.

 

Deterioration in the automotive markets could impact the business plan for our light-duty engine products currently under development.

 

In July 2006, we announced plans to develop and manufacture a light-duty diesel engine to be used in a variety of on- and off-highway applications.  In July 2007, we entered into an agreement with Chrysler where it would purchase the engine exclusively for use in light-duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles.  We have development agreements and commercial letters of intent with other automotive and marine customers.  We proceeded with the technical development of these engine applications and have made significant investment in a manufacturing facility in Columbus, Indiana.

 

On April 30, 2009, Chrysler filed for Chapter 11 under the United States Bankruptcy Code.  As part of the reorganization, the light-duty engine agreement was not assigned to the new company.

 

We remain committed to the development of this product line for other existing customers.  We are also continuing to discuss the light duty diesel engine program with the new Chrysler as well as with other potential customers.  If significant modifications occur in these programs and we are unable to find alternative customers or applications for

 

42



 

these products, we may need to impair some of our $171 million assets and/or our commitments of $41 million which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

The current deterioration of the credit and capital markets may adversely impact our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms or obtain funding under our revolving credit facility.

 

Global financial markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption, and the credit markets have been exceedingly distressed.  If credit markets continue to deteriorate, we may be unable to obtain adequate funding under our revolving credit facility because our lending counterparties may be unwilling or unable to meet their funding obligations.

 

If we are unable to access our revolving credit facility, the instability of financial markets could significantly increase the cost of obtaining additional or alternate funding from the credit markets as many lenders have increased interest rates, enacted tighter lending standards and refused to refinance existing debt.  Even if lenders and institutional investors are willing and able to provide adequate funding, interest rates may rise in the future and therefore increase the cost of borrowing we incur on any of our floating rate debt.

 

Due to these factors, we cannot be certain that funding will be available if needed and to the extent required on acceptable terms.  If funding is not available when needed, or is available only on unfavorable terms, it might adversely affect our ability to operate our business which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

 

Our manufacturing operations are dependent upon third-party suppliers, making us vulnerable to supply shortages.

 

Cummins manufactures strategic components internally and through suppliers.  For the year ended December 31, 2008 we single sourced approximately 80 to 85 percent of the total types of parts in our product designs.  Any delay in our suppliers’ deliveries may affect our operations at multiple manufacturing locations, forcing us to seek alternative supply sources to avoid serious disruptions.  Delays are caused by factors affecting our suppliers including capacity constraints, labor disputes, economic downturns, availability of credit, the impaired financial condition of a particular supplier, suppliers’ allocations to other purchasers, weather emergencies or acts of war or terrorism.  Any delay in receiving supplies could impair our ability to deliver products to our customers and, accordingly, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our products are subject to substantial government regulation.

 

Our engines are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements governing emissions and noise, including standards imposed by the EPA, the European Union, state regulatory agencies, such as the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and other regulatory agencies around the world.  Developing engines to meet changing government regulatory requirements, with different implementation timelines and emissions requirements, makes developing engines efficiently for multiple markets complicated and could result in substantial additional costs that may be difficult to recover in some markets.  In some cases, we may be required to develop new products to comply with new regulations, particularly those relating to air emissions.  For example, we are required to develop new engines to comply with stringent emissions standards in the U.S. by January 1, 2010.  While we were able to meet previous deadlines, our ability to comply with other existing and future regulatory standards will be essential for us to maintain our position in the engine markets we serve.

 

We have made and will be required to continue to make significant capital and research expenditures to comply with these regulatory standards.  Further, the successful development and introduction of new and enhanced products are subject to risks, such as delays in product development, cost over-runs and unanticipated technical and manufacturing difficulties.  In June 2008, four Cummins sites in Southern Indiana, including our Technical Center, experienced extensive damage caused by flood water resulting from an unusually high amount of rainfall.  The Technical Center was closed for a period of time during a critical testing period for new engine development to meet 2010 emission standards.

 

As we stated earlier, we are involved in litigation with our insurance carriers, and it is possible that we will experience unrecoverable costs as a result of this loss of testing time.  Any failure to comply with regulatory standards affecting our products could subject us to fines or penalties and could require us to cease production of any non-compliant engine or to recall any engines produced and sold in violation of the applicable standards.  See

 

43



 

“Product Environmental Compliance” in “Item 1 Business” of our 2008 Form 10-K for a complete discussion of the environmental laws and regulations that affect our products.

 

Variability in material and commodity costs could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our manufacturing processes are exposed to variability in material and commodity costs.  Our businesses establish prices with our customers in accordance with contractual time frames; however, the timing of market price increases may prevent us from passing these additional costs on to our customers through timely pricing actions.  Additionally, higher material and commodity costs around the world may offset our efforts to reduce our cost structure.  While we customarily enter into financial transactions to address some of these risks, we cannot assure that commodity price fluctuations will not adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.  In addition, while the use of commodity price hedging instruments may provide us with protection from adverse fluctuations in commodity prices, by utilizing these instruments we potentially forego the benefits that might result from favorable fluctuations in price.  As a result, higher material and commodity costs, as well as hedging these commodity costs during periods of decreasing prices, both could result in declining margins and could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We are subject to currency exchange rate and other related risks.

 

We conduct operations in many areas of the world involving transactions denominated in a variety of currencies.  We are subject to currency exchange rate risk to the extent that our costs are denominated in currencies other than those in which we earn revenues.  In addition, since our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our income.  While we customarily enter into financial transactions to address these risks, we cannot assure that currency exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.  In addition, while the use of currency hedging instruments may provide us with protection from adverse fluctuations in currency exchange rates, by utilizing these instruments we potentially forego the benefits that might result from favorable fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

 

We also face risks arising from the imposition of exchange controls and currency devaluations.  Exchange controls may limit our ability to convert foreign currencies into U.S. dollars or to remit dividends and other payments by our foreign subsidiaries or businesses located in or conducted within a country imposing controls.  Currency devaluations result in a diminished value of funds denominated in the currency of the country instituting the devaluation.  Actions of this nature, if they occur or continue for significant periods of time, could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition in any given period.

 

Deteriorating market conditions could diminish our pension plan asset performance which could adversely impact our equity and our cash flow.

 

We sponsor both funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined benefit pension and other retirement plans.  Our pension expense and the required contributions to our pension plans are directly affected by the value of plan assets, the projected and actual rates of return on plan assets and the actuarial assumptions we use to measure our defined benefit pension plan obligations, including the discount rate at which future projected and accumulated pension obligations are discounted to a present value.  We could experience increased pension expense due to a combination of factors, including the decreased investment performance of pension plan assets, decreases in the discount rate and changes in our assumptions relating to the expected return on plan assets.

 

The value of investments in our pension trusts have decreased during the recent market decline.  As a result we experienced a material change to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet which included an increase to “Other long-term liabilities” and a corresponding decrease in “Stockholders’ equity” through “Other comprehensive income.”  If the market turmoil causes further declines in our pension plan assets, we could continue to experience increased pension expense in future years and changes to “Stockholders equity.”  We may be legally required to make contributions to our U.S pension plans in the future, and these contributions could be material.  In addition, if local legal authorities increase the minimum funding requirements for our pension plans outside the U.S., we could be required to contribute more funds, which would negatively affect our cash flow.

 

44



 

We are exposed to political, economic and other risks that arise from operating a multinational business.

 

Approximately 56 percent and 54 percent of our net sales for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, respectively, were attributable to customers outside the U.S.  Accordingly, our business is subject to the political, economic and other risks that are inherent in operating in numerous countries.  These risks include:

 

·

the difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through foreign legal systems;

 

 

·

trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;

 

 

·

the imposition of withholding requirements on foreign income and tax rates in certain foreign countries that exceed those in the U.S.;

 

 

·

the imposition of tariffs, exchange controls or other restrictions;

 

 

·

difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations and the application of foreign labor regulations;

 

 

·

required compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations; and

 

 

·

changes in general economic and political conditions in countries where we operate, particularly in emerging markets.

 

As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks.  We cannot assure that these and other factors will not have a material adverse effect on our international operations or on our business as a whole.

 

Our products are subject to recall for performance related issues.

 

We are at risk for product recall costs.  Product recall costs are incurred when we decide, either voluntarily or involuntarily, to recall a product through a formal campaign to solicit the return of specific products due to a known or suspected performance issue.  Costs typically include the cost of the product, part or component being replaced, customer cost of the recall and labor to remove and replace the defective part or component.  When a recall decision is made, we estimate the cost of the recall and record a charge to income in that period in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”  In making this estimate, judgment is required as to the quantity or volume to be recalled, the total cost of the recall campaign, the ultimate negotiated sharing of the cost between us and the customer and, in some cases, the extent to which the supplier of the part or component will share in the recall cost.  As a result, these estimates are subject to change.

 

We cannot assure that our truck manufacturers and OEM customers will continue to outsource their engine supply needs.

 

Several of our engine customers, including PACCAR Inc., International Truck and Engine Corporation (Navistar), Volvo AB and Chrysler, are truck manufacturers or OEMs that manufacture engines for some of their own products.  Despite their engine manufacturing abilities, these customers have chosen to outsource certain types of engine production to us due to the quality of our engine products, our emissions capability, systems integration, their customers’ preferences and in order to reduce costs, eliminate production risks and maintain company focus.  However, we cannot assure that these customers will continue to outsource engine production in the future.  Increased levels of OEM vertical integration could result from a number of factors, such as shifts in our customers’ business strategies, acquisition by a customer of another engine manufacturer, the inability of third-party suppliers to meet product specifications and the emergence of low-cost production opportunities in foreign countries.  Any significant reduction in the level of engine production outsourcing from our truck manufacturer or OEM customers could significantly impact our revenues and, accordingly, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our operations are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations.

 

Our plants and operations are subject to increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations in all of the countries in which we operate, including laws and regulations governing emissions to air, discharges to water and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials.  While we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with these environmental laws and regulations, we cannot assure that we will not be adversely impacted by costs, liabilities or claims with respect to existing or subsequently acquired operations, under either present laws and regulations or those that may be adopted or imposed in the future.  We are

 

45



 

also subject to laws requiring the cleanup of contaminated property.  If a release of hazardous substances occurs at or from any of our current or former properties or at a landfill or another location where we have disposed of hazardous materials, we may be held liable for the contamination and the amount of such liability could be material.

 

We face risks through our equity method investments in companies that we do not control.

 

Our net income attributable to Cummins Inc. includes significant equity income, technical fees and royalty income from unconsolidated subsidiaries.  For the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, we recognized $53 million and $83 million of equity earnings and $4 million and $7 million of other income from our unconsolidated subsidiaries, respectively.  The majority of our equity income comes from our North American distributors, Chongqing Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. (CCEC) and Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. (DCEC).  We have equity interests in several of our North American distributors who distribute the full range of our products and services to customers and end-users.  CCEC is located in Chongqing, China and manufactures several models of our heavy-duty and high-horsepower diesel engines, serving primarily the industrial and stationary power markets in China.  DCEC is a joint venture with Dongfeng Automotive Corporation, a subsidiary of Dongfeng Motor Company (Dongfeng), one of the largest medium-duty truck manufacturers in China. DCEC produces Cummins B, C and L Series four- to nine-liter mechanical engines, full-electronic diesel engines, with a power range from 100 to 370 horsepower, and natural gas engines.  Our equity investments may not always perform at the levels we have seen in recent years.

 

We face reputational and legal risk from affiliations with joint venture partners.

 

Several of our joint venture partners are domiciled in areas of the world with laws, rules and business practices that differ from those in the U.S.  We strive to select partners who share our values and understand the Cummins reporting and compliance needs as a U.S. domiciled company.  We work to ensure that an appropriate business culture exists within the ventures to minimize and mitigate our risk.

 

We may be adversely impacted by work stoppages and other labor matters.

 

As of December 31, 2008, we employed approximately 39,800 persons worldwide.  Approximately 14,300 of our employees worldwide are represented by various unions under collective bargaining agreements that expire between 2010 and 2014.  While we have no reason to believe that we will be impacted by work stoppages and other labor matters, we cannot assure that future issues with our labor unions will be resolved favorably or that we will not encounter future strikes, work stoppages, or other types of conflicts with labor unions or our employees.  Any of these factors may have an adverse effect on us or may limit our flexibility in dealing with our workforce.  In addition, many of our customers have unionized work forces.  Work stoppages or slow-downs experienced by our customers could result in slow-downs or closures at vehicle assembly plants where our engines are installed.  If one or more of our customers experience a material work stoppage, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our business is exposed to risks of product liability claims.

 

We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that our products’ failure to perform to specification results, or is alleged to result, in property damage, bodily injury and/or death.  We may experience material product liability losses in the future.  While we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain product liability claims, we may not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, and any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against product liability claims.  In addition, product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods of time, regardless of the ultimate outcome.  An unsuccessful defense of a product liability claim could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.  In addition, even if we are successful in defending against a claim relating to our products, claims of this nature could cause our customers to lose confidence in our products and us.

 

We face significant competition in the markets we serve.

 

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive.  We compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell similar products.  Our products primarily compete on the basis of price, performance, fuel economy, speed of delivery, quality and customer support.  There can be no assurance

 

46



 

that our products will be able to compete successfully with the products of these other companies.  Any failure by us to compete effectively in the markets we serve could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  For a more complete discussion of the competitive environment in which each of our segments operates, see “Operating Segments” in “Item 1 Business” of our 2008 Form 10-K.

 

Our business is affected by the cyclical nature of the markets we serve.

 

Our financial performance depends, in large part, on varying conditions in the markets and geographies that we serve.  Demand in these markets and geographies fluctuates in response to overall economic conditions and is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rate levels.  Our sales are also impacted by OEM inventory levels and production schedules and stoppages.  Economic downturns in the markets we serve generally result in reductions in sales and pricing of our products, which could reduce future income and cash flow.  Economic trends can impact our product lines in different ways.  For example, our business with Chrysler pickup trucks is a consumer driven market while other product lines serve customers in markets where availability of credit could impact the timing of their purchasing decisions.

Shares purchased represent shares under the 2007 Board of Directors authorized repurchase program (for up to $500 million of Cummins common shares) and the Key Employee Stock Investment Plan established in 1969 (there is no maximum repurchase limitation in this plan).

 

 

(2)

These values reflect the sum of shares held in loan status of our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan. The $500 million repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in 2007 does not limit the number of shares that may be purchased and was excluded from this column.

 

In December 2007, the Board of Directors authorized us to acquire an additional $500 million worth of Cummins common stock beginning 2008.  We announced in February 2009 that we have temporarily suspended our stock repurchase program to conserve cash.  During 2009, we will continue to review the suspension and may from time to time repurchase stock.  As of June 28, 2009, we have $372 million available for purchase under this authorization.

 

During the three month period ended June 28, 2009, we repurchased 15,079 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 and after shares are sold must wait six months before another share purchase may be made.  There is no maximum amount of shares that we may purchase under this plan.

 

During the three month period ended June 28, 2009, we issued 16,639 shares of common stock as compensation to our current and former non-employee directors, all of whom are accredited investors.  These shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to the exemption from the registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

 

According to our bylaws, we are not subject to the provisions of the Indiana Control Share Act. However, we are governed by certain other laws of the State of Indiana applicable to transactions involving a potential change of control of the company.
