CUMMINS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Cummins Inc. (“Cummins,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was founded in 1919 as Cummins Engine Company, a corporation in Columbus, Indiana, as one of the first diesel engine manufacturers. We changed our name to Cummins Inc. in 2001. We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products, including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, transmissions and electric power generation systems. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a network of approximately 600 wholly-owned and independent distributor locations and over 7,400 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Interim Condensed Financial Statements
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations.
These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our interim period financial results for the three and nine month periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for prior year periods have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current year.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts presented and disclosed in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgment 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 rate and other assumptions for pension and other postretirement benefit costs, income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, lease classification and contingencies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.
Reporting Period
Our reporting period usually ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period. The third quarters of 2017 and 2016 ended on October 1 and October 2, respectively. Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.
Weighted-average Diluted Shares Outstanding
The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding excludes the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options since such options had an exercise price in excess of the monthly average market value of our common stock. The options excluded from diluted earnings per share were as follows:

We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2017 of $10 million for our U.S. and U.K. pension plans. Approximately $134 million of the estimated $135 million of pension contributions for the full year are voluntary. These contributions may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants. We expect our 2017 net periodic pension cost to approximate $83 million.

____________________________________
(1) All marketable securities are classified as Level 2 securities. The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated using actively quoted prices for similar instruments from brokers and observable inputs where available, including market transactions and third-party pricing services, or net asset values provided to investors. We do not currently have any Level 3 securities and there were no transfers between Level 2 or 3 during the first nine months of 2017 and for the year ended 2016.
A description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for our Level 2 fair value measures was as follows:
Debt mutual funds— The fair value measure for the vast majority of these investments is the daily net asset value published on a regulated governmental website. Daily quoted prices are available from the issuing brokerage and are used on a test basis to corroborate this Level 2 input.
Bank debentures— These investments provide us with a contractual rate of return and generally range in maturity from three months to five years. The counterparties to these investments are reputable financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Since these instruments are not tradable and must be settled directly by us with the respective financial institution, our fair value measure is the financial institutions’ month-end statement.
Equity mutual funds— The fair value measure for these investments is the net asset value published by the issuing brokerage. Daily quoted prices are available from reputable third party pricing services and are used on a test basis to corroborate this Level 2 input measure.
Government debt securities— The fair value measure for these securities is broker quotes received from reputable firms. These securities are infrequently traded on a national stock exchange and these values are used on a test basis to corroborate our Level 2 input measure.

____________________________________
(1)  Loans payable consist primarily of notes payable to various domestic and international financial institutions. It is not practical to aggregate these notes and calculate a quarterly weighted-average interest rate.
(2)  The weighted average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was 1.22 percent and 0.79 percent at October 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility
On September 5, 2017, we entered into a 364-day credit facility that allows us to borrow up to $1 billion of additional unsecured funds at any time through September 2018.
We have access to credit facilities that total $2.75 billion, including the new 364-day facility and the $1.75 billion facility that expires on November 13, 2020. We intend to maintain credit facilities of a similar aggregate amount by renewing or replacing these facilities before expiration. Revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings, letters of credit and general corporate purposes.

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

existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
We conduct significant business operations in Brazil that are subject to the Brazilian federal, state and local labor, social security, tax and customs laws. While we believe we comply with such laws, they are complex, subject to varying interpretations and we are often engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws to particular circumstances.
Loss Contingencies
Third Party Aftertreatment
Engine systems sold in the U.S. must be certified to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission standards. EPA and CARB regulations require that in-use testing be performed on vehicles by the emission certificate holder and reported to the EPA and CARB in order to ensure ongoing compliance with these emission standards. We are the holder of this emission certificate for our engines, including engines installed in certain vehicles with one customer for which we did not also manufacture or sell the emission aftertreatment system. During 2015, a quality issue in certain of these third party aftertreatment systems caused some of our inter-related engines to fail in-use emission testing. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the vehicle manufacturer made a request that we assist in the design and bear the financial cost of a field campaign (Campaign) to address the technical issue purportedly causing some vehicles to fail the in-use testing.
While we are not responsible for the warranty issues related to a component that we did not manufacture or sell, as the emission compliance certificate holder, we are responsible for proposing a remedy to the EPA and CARB. As a result, we have proposed actions to the agencies that we believe will address the emission failures. As the certificate holder, we expect to participate in the cost of the proposed voluntary Campaign and recorded a charge of $60 million in 2015. The Campaign design was finalized with our OEM customer, reviewed with the EPA and submitted for final approval in 2016. We concluded based upon additional in-use emission testing performed in 2016 that the Campaign should be expanded to include a larger population of vehicles manufactured by this one OEM. We recorded additional charges of $39 million and $99 million in the second and third quarter, respectively, in 2016 to reflect the estimated cost of our overall participation in the Campaign. This charge is reflected in a separate line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We continue to work with our OEM customer to resolve the allocation of costs for the Campaign, including pending litigation between the parties. The Campaign is not expected to be completed for some time and our final cost could differ from the amount we have recorded.
We do not currently expect any fines or penalties from the EPA or CARB related to this matter.
We are currently reimbursing our customer for 50 percent of the campaign expenses pending final resolution in the litigation or pre-suit settlement. This began in the fourth quarter of 2016 with a combination of cash and credit memos. The remaining accrual of $148 million is included in ''Other accrued expenses'' in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Engine System
During 2017, the CARB and U.S. EPA began selecting certain of our pre-2013 model year engine systems for additional emissions testing.  We have been notified that a portion of the CARB and EPA selected engine systems have failed emissions testing due to the unexpected degradation of an aftertreatment component.  Although we have no official notice from the CARB or EPA on these engine systems to date, we are working with the agencies on a resolution of these matters.  We are developing and testing solutions to address the technical issues, which could include a combination of calibration changes, service practices and hardware changes.  We recorded a charge of $29 million to "cost of sales" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the third quarter of 2017 for the expected cost of field campaigns to repair some of these engine systems.
In addition, we are currently evaluating other engine systems for model years 2010 through 2015 that could potentially be subject to similar degradation issues.  At this point in time, we have not yet determined the impact to other model years and engine systems or the percentage of the engine system populations affected.
Because this remains under review with a number of yet unresolved variables, we are not yet able to estimate the outcome for these matters. It is possible, however, that they could have a material effect on our results of operations in the periods in which the uncertainties are resolved.
We do not currently expect any fines or penalties from the EPA or CARB related to this matter.

Guarantees and Commitments
Periodically, we enter into guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financings, residual value guarantees on equipment under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of joint ventures or third-party obligations. At October 1, 2017, the maximum potential loss related to these guarantees was $50 million.
We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. At October 1, 2017, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $101 million, of which $29 million relates to a contract with a components supplier that extends to 2018 and $28 million relates to a contract with a power systems supplier that extends to 2019. Most of these arrangements enable us to secure critical components. We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.
We enter into physical forward contracts with suppliers of platinum, palladium and copper to purchase minimum volumes of the commodities at contractually stated prices for various periods, not to exceed 2 years. At October 1, 2017, the total commitments under these contracts were $23 million. These arrangements enable us to fix the prices of these commodities, which otherwise are subject to market volatility.
We have guarantees with certain customers that require us to satisfactorily honor contractual or regulatory obligations, or compensate for monetary losses related to nonperformance. These performance bonds and other performance-related guarantees were $104 million at October 1, 2017.
Indemnifications
Periodically, we enter into various contractual arrangements where we agree to indemnify a third-party against certain types of losses. Common types of indemnities include:
product liability and license, patent or trademark indemnifications;
asset sale agreements where we agree to indemnify the purchaser against future environmental exposures related to the asset sold; and
any contractual agreement where we agree to indemnify the counterparty for losses suffered as a result of a misrepresentation in the contract.
We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnities and accrue for expected losses that are probable. Because the indemnifications are not related to specified known liabilities and due to their uncertain nature, we are unable to estimate the maximum amount of the potential loss associated with these indemnifications.

NOTE 11. ACQUISITION

In April 2017, we entered into an agreement to form a joint venture with Eaton Corporation PLC (Eaton), which closed on July 31, 2017 (the acquisition date). We purchased a 50 percent interest in the new venture named Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies for $600 million in cash. In addition, each partner contributed $20 million for working capital. The joint venture will design, assemble, sell and support medium-duty and heavy-duty automated transmissions for the commercial vehicle market, including new product launches. The new generation products (Procision and Endurant) were launched in 2016 and 2017, respectively, and are owned by the joint venture. Eaton will continue to manufacture and sell the old generation products to the joint venture which will be marked up and sold to end customers. Eaton will also sell certain transmission components to the joint venture at prices approximating market rates. In addition, Eaton will provide certain manufacturing and administrative services to the joint venture, including but not limited to manufacturing labor in Mexico, information technology services, accounting services and purchasing services, at prices approximating market rates. Pro forma financial information was not provided as historical activity related to the products contributed to the joint venture was not material.

We consolidated the results of the joint venture in our Components segment as we have a majority voting interest in the venture by virtue of a tie-breaking vote on the joint venture's board of directors. The joint venture had an enterprise value at inception of $1.2 billion. Due to the structure of the joint venture and equal sharing of economic benefits, we did not apply a discount for lack of control to the noncontrolling interests. The preliminary purchase price allocation was as follows:

Customer relationship assets represent the value of the long-term strategic relationship the business has with its significant customers, which we are amortizing over 25 years. The assets were valued using an income approach, specifically the "multi-period excess earnings" method, which identifies an estimated stream of revenues and expenses for a particular group of assets from which deductions of portions of the projected economic benefits, attributable to assets other than the subject asset (contributory assets), are deducted in order to isolate the prospective earnings of the subject asset. This value is considered a level 3 measurement under the GAAP fair value hierarchy. Key assumptions used in the valuation of customer relationships include: (1) a rate of return of 10 percent and (2) an attrition rate of 3 percent. Technology assets primarily represent the associated patents and know how related to the Endurant and Procision next generation automated transmissions, which we are amortizing over 15 years. These assets were valued using the "relief-from-royalty" method, which is a combination of both the income approach and market approach that values a subject asset based on an estimate of the "relief" from the royalty expense that would be incurred if the subject asset were licensed from a third party. Key assumptions impacting this value include: (1) a market royalty rate of 5 percent, (2) a rate of return of 10 percent and (3) an economic depreciation rate of 7.5 percent. This value is considered a level 3 measurement under GAAP fair value hierarchy. Annual amortization of the intangible assets for the next 5 years is expected to approximate $28 million.

Goodwill was determined based on the residual difference between the fair value of consideration transferred and the value assigned to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Approximately $31 million of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Among the factors contributing to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill is the ability to integrate and optimize the engine and transmission development to deliver the world’s best power train, to realize synergies in service and aftermarket growth and to utilize our strength in international markets where automated transmission adoption rates are very low. Included in our third quarter results were revenues of $69 million and a net loss of $5 million related to this joint venture.

NOTE 12. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Operating segments under GAAP are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our CODM is the President and Chief Operating Officer.
Our reportable operating segments consist of Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Systems. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and less in size) and associated parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various off-highway markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, agriculture, power generation systems and other off-highway applications. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers, fuel systems and transmissions. The Power Systems segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and sells engines (16 liters and larger) for industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas, marine and rail), standby and prime power generator sets, alternators and other power components.
We use EBIT (defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests) as a primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments.
The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepared the financial results of our operating segments on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which we internally disaggregate financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions. We allocate certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments differently than we would for stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal, finance and supply chain management. We do not allocate debt-related items, actuarial gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, changes in cash surrender value of corporate owned life insurance or income taxes to individual segments. EBIT may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

NOTE 13. RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its standards related to accounting for stock compensation, which became effective for us beginning January 1, 2017. The amendment replaced the requirement to record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital by recording all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense / benefit in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and was adopted prospectively. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies are required to be recorded as discrete items in the period in which they occur and were not material for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2017. In addition, the standard impacted our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows retrospectively, as excess tax benefits are now required to be presented as an operating activity and the cash paid to tax authorities is required to be presented as a financing activity. This resulted in a net reclassification of $4 million from operating to financing activities for the nine months ended October 2, 2016. Finally, in accordance with the standard, we elected to continue our historical approach of estimating forfeitures during the award's vesting period and adjusting our estimate when it is no longer probable that the employee will fulfill the service condition. The adoption of the standard was not material to our diluted earnings per common share.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective
In August 2017, the FASB amended its standards related to accounting for derivatives and hedging. These amendments allow the initial hedge effectiveness assessment to be performed by the end of the first quarter in which the hedge is designated rather than concurrently with entering into the hedge transaction. The changes also expand the use of a periodic qualitative hedge effectiveness assessment in lieu of an ongoing quantitative assessment performed throughout the life of the hedge. The revision removes the requirement to record ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges through the income statement when a hedge is considered highly effective, instead deferring all related hedge gains and losses in "Other comprehensive income" until the hedged item impacts earnings. The modifications permit hedging the contractually-specified price of a component of a commodity purchase and revises certain disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted in any interim period or fiscal year prior to the effective date. The revised standard is required to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis for any cash flow or net investment hedge relationships that exist on the date of adoption and prospectively for disclosures. We do not expect the amendments to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements and are still evaluating early adoption.
In March 2017, the FASB amended its standards related to the presentation of pension and other postretirement benefit costs in the financial statements. Under the new standard, we will be required to separate service costs from all other elements of pension costs and reflect the other elements of pension costs outside of operating income in our Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, the standard will limit the amount eligible for capitalization (into inventory or self-constructed assets) to the amount of service cost. This portion of the standard will be applied on a prospective basis. The remainder of the new standard is effective for us on a retrospective basis beginning January 1, 2018. While we are still evaluating the impact of this standard, the change in presentation will likely result in a decrease in operating income primarily due to the requirement to present the expected return on plan assets outside of operating income.
In August 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments. The new standard will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the

21

Table of Contents

amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. We do not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
In June 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. This amendment introduces new guidance for accounting for credit losses on instruments including trade receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. The new rules are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for leases. Under the new standard, lessees will now be required to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as both a right-of-use-asset and a liability. The standard will continue to have two types of leases for income statement recognition purposes: operating leases and finance leases. Operating leases will result in the recognition of a single lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term similar to the treatment for operating leases under today's standards. Finance leases will result in an accelerated expense similar to the accounting for capital leases under today's standards. The determination of a lease classification as operating or finance will occur in a manner similar to today's standard. The new standard also contains amended guidance regarding the identification of embedded leases in service contracts and the identification of lease and non-lease components of an arrangement. The new standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact the standard could have on our Consolidated Financial Statements, including our internal controls over financial reporting. While we have not yet quantified the amount, we do expect the standard will have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the recognition of additional assets and liabilities for operating leases.
In January 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for certain financial instruments. This amendment addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The new rules will become effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2014, the FASB amended its standards related to revenue recognition which replaces all existing revenue recognition guidance and provides a single, comprehensive model for all contracts with customers. The revised standard contains principles to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that we will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimation of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The amendment also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in those judgments as well as assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill these contracts.

The standard allows either full or modified retrospective adoption effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2018.
We will adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach.

We identified a change in the manner in which we will account for certain license income. We license certain technology to our unconsolidated joint ventures that meet the definition of functional under the standard, which requires that revenue be recognized at a point in time rather than the current requirement of recognizing it over the license term. Using the modified retrospective adoption method, we will record an adjustment to our opening equity balance at January 1, 2018, to account for the differences between existing revenue recorded and what would have been recorded under the new standard for contracts which we started recognizing revenue prior to the adoption date. We are still quantifying the potential amount of this adjustment, but we expect to record a credit to equity of between
$30 million and $35 million for the licensing change. We do not expect a material impact on any individual year from this change.

We also identified transactions where revenue recognition is currently limited to the amount of billings not contingent on our future performance. With the allocation provisions of the new model, we expect to accelerate the timing of revenue recognition for amounts related to satisfied performance obligations that would be delayed under the current guidance. We do not expect the impact of this change to be material, but we are still quantifying the impact which will depend on the contracts in progress at the time of adoption.

We are still in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our
Consolidated Financial Statements, including our internal controls over financial reporting. The revenue recognition disclosures will significantly expand under the new standard, specifically around the quantitative and qualitative information about performance obligations, changes in contract assets and liabilities and disaggregation of revenue.

NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On October 12, 2017, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Brammo Inc., an engineer and manufacturer of lithium ion batteries primarily related to the utility vehicle markets, for approximately $70 million to be paid in cash at closing.  In addition to the closing consideration, the agreement contains an earnout based on future results of the acquired business, which could result in a maximum additional $100 million payment to the former owners. The majority of the purchase price will likely be assigned to intangible assets and goodwill. We expect the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products, including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, transmissions and electric power generation systems. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc, Daimler Trucks North America, Navistar International Corporation and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. We serve our customers through a network of approximately 600 wholly-owned and independent distributor locations and over 7,400 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.
Our reportable operating segments consist of Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Systems. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and less in size) and associated parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various off-highway markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, agriculture, power generation systems and other off-highway applications. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers, fuel systems and transmissions. The Power Systems segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and sells engines (16 liters and larger) for industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas, marine and rail), standby and prime power generator sets, alternators and other power components.
Our financial performance depends, in large part, on varying conditions in the markets we serve, particularly the on-highway, construction and general industrial markets. Demand in these markets tends to fluctuate in response to overall economic conditions. Our sales may also be impacted by OEM inventory levels, production schedules and stoppages. Economic downturns in markets we serve generally result in reduced sales of our products and can result in price reductions in certain products and/or markets. As a worldwide business, our operations are also affected by currency, political, economic and regulatory matters, including adoption and enforcement of environmental and emission standards, in the countries we serve. As part of our growth strategy, we invest in businesses in certain countries that carry high levels of these risks such as China, Brazil, India, Mexico, Russia and countries in the Middle East and Africa. At the same time, our geographic diversity and broad product and service offerings have helped limit the impact from a drop in demand in any one industry or customer or the economy of any single country on our consolidated results.
Worldwide revenues increased 26 percent in the three months ended October 1, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, with all operating segments reporting higher revenue. Revenue in the U.S. and Canada improved by 25 percent primarily due to increased demand in the North American on-highway markets, organic growth and higher sales related to the acquisition of North American distributors since December 31, 2015, in the distribution business, increased industrial demand (especially in the oil and gas market) and sales related to the acquisition of the automated transmission business. International demand growth (excludes the U.S. and Canada) improved revenues by 28 percent, with sales up in most of our markets, especially in China, Russia, U.K. and India. The increase in international sales was primarily due to increased demand in industrial markets (especially construction markets in China and mining markets in Europe) and increased demand in all Components businesses (especially on-highway truck demand in China and product sales to meet new emission requirements for trucks in India).
Worldwide revenues increased 15 percent in the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, with all operating segments reporting higher revenue. Revenue in the U.S. and Canada improved by 13 percent primarily due to increased demand in the North American on-highway markets, organic growth and higher sales related to the acquisition of North American distributors since December 31, 2015, in our distribution business and increased industrial demand (especially in the oil and gas, construction and mining markets). International demand growth (excludes the U.S. and Canada) in 2017 improved revenues by 18 percent, with sales up in most of our markets, especially in China, Russia, India and the U.K. The increase in international sales was primarily due to increased demand in the truck market in China, new emission regulations in India and increased demand in industrial markets (especially construction markets in China and mining markets in Europe), partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 1 percent (primarily in the British pound and Chinese renminbi).
The following tables contain sales and earnings before interest expense, income tax expense and noncontrolling interests (EBIT) by operating segment for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2017 and October 2, 2016Refer to the section titled “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” for a more detailed discussion of sales and EBIT by operating segment, including the reconciliation of segment EBIT to net income attributable to Cummins Inc.

"NM" - not meaningful information
(1) The 2017 disclosures include Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies joint venture results consolidated during the third quarter. See Note 11 , "ACQUISITION," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Net income attributable to Cummins was $453 million, or $2.71 per diluted share, on sales of $5.3 billion for the three months ended October 1, 2017, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins of $289 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, on sales of $4.2 billion. The increase in net income and earnings per diluted share was driven by significantly higher net sales and gross margin, the absence of an accrual for a loss contingency recorded in the third quarter of 2016 and higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees, partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses, higher research, development and engineering expenses and a higher effective tax rate. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher volumes, improved leverage and lower material costs, partially offset by higher warranty costs ($105 million primarily due to campaigns in the Engine and Components segments) and increased variable compensation expense of $59 million. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended October 1, 2017, benefited $0.01 from fewer weighted average shares outstanding due to the stock repurchase program.

(1) The 2017 disclosures include Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies joint venture results consolidated during the third quarter of 2017. See Note 11 , "ACQUISITION," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $1.3 billion, or $7.60 per diluted share, on sales of $15.0 billion for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins of $1.0 billion, or $5.99 per diluted share, on sales of $13.0 billion. The increase in net income and earnings per diluted share was driven by higher net sales and gross margin, the absence of an accrual for a loss contingency recorded in the second and third quarters of 2016 and higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees, partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses and higher research, development and engineering expenses and a higher effective tax rate. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher volumes, improved leverage and lower material costs, partially offset by higher warranty costs ($234 million primarily due to campaigns in the Engine, Components and Power Systems segments and changes in estimates in the Engine and Components segments) and increased variable compensation expense of $101 million. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, benefited $0.04 from fewer weighted average shares outstanding, primarily due to the stock repurchase program.

We generated $1.5 billion of operating cash flows for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, compared to $1.3 billion for the comparable period in 2016. Refer to the section titled "Cash Flows" in the "LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES" section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.

Table of Contents

During the first nine months of 2017, we repurchased $391 million, or 2.5 million shares of common stock.
On September 5, 2017, we entered into a 364-day credit facility that allows us to borrow up to $1 billion of additional unsecured funds at any time through September 2018. Revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings, letters of credit and general corporate purposes.
Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at October 1, 2017, was 20.8 percent, compared to 20.6 percent at December 31, 2016. At October 1, 2017, we had $1.4 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand and access to our $2.75 billion credit facilities, if necessary, to meet currently anticipated investment and funding needs.
We expect our effective tax rate for the full year of 2017 to approximate 26.0 percent, excluding any one-time tax items.
In April 2017, we entered into an agreement to form a joint venture with Eaton Corporation PLC (Eaton), which closed on July 31, 2017 (the acquisition date). We purchased a 50 percent interest in the new venture named Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies for $600 million in cash. In addition, each partner contributed $20 million for working capital. The joint venture will design, assemble, sell and support medium-duty and heavy-duty automated transmissions for the commercial vehicle market, including new product launches. We consolidated the results of the joint venture in our Components segment as we have a majority voting interest in the venture by virtue of a tie-breaking vote on the joint venture's board of directors. We do not expect this new venture to have a significant impact on our consolidated results in 2017. See Note 11 "ACQUISITION," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
On October 12, 2017, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Brammo Inc., an engineer and manufacturer of lithium ion batteries primarily related to the utility vehicle markets, for approximately $70 million to be paid in cash at closing.  In addition to the closing consideration, the agreement contains an earnout based on future results of the acquired business, which could result in a maximum additional $100 million payment to the former owners. The majority of the purchase price will likely be assigned to intangible assets and goodwill. We expect the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended October 1, 2017, increased by $1.1 billion versus the comparable period in 2016. The primary drivers were as follows:
Engine segment sales increased 26 percent primarily due to higher demand in most North American on-highway markets and improved demand in global construction markets.
Components segment sales increased 34 percent due to higher demand across all businesses, especially the emission solutions business, due to strong on-highway sales in North America, India and China and sales related to the acquisition of the automated transmissions business.
Distribution segment sales increased 17 percent primarily due to an increase in organic sales and higher sales related to the acquisition of North American distributors since December 31, 2015.
Power Systems segment sales increased 23 percent due to higher demand for all product lines, especially in industrial markets, due to higher demand in North America oil and gas markets and international mining markets.

Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 26.0 percent, excluding any one-time items that may arise. Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income and the research tax credit.
Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2017, was 26.5 percent and 26.3 percent, respectively, and contained only immaterial discrete items.
Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2016, was 21.5 percent and 25.5 percent, respectively, and contained only immaterial discrete items.
The changes in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2017, versus the comparable periods in 2016, were primarily due to differences in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax income.
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 months ended October 1, 2017, decreased $7 million versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to the acquisition of the remaining interest in Wuxi Cummins Turbo Technologies Co. Ltd, in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, decreased $14 million versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to the acquisition of the remaining interest in Wuxi Cummins Turbo Technologies Co. Ltd, in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Net Income Attributable to Cummins Inc. and Diluted Earnings Per Share Attributable to Cummins Inc.
Net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cummins Inc. for the three months ended October 1, 2017, increased $164 million and $0.99 per share, respectively versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to significantly higher net sales and gross margin, the absence of an accrual for a loss contingency recorded in the third quarter of 2016 and higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees, partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses, higher research, development and engineering expenses and a higher effective tax rate. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended October 1, 2017, benefited $0.01 from fewer weighted average shares outstanding due to the stock repurchase program.
Net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cummins Inc. for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, increased $257 million and $1.61 per share, respectively versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to higher net sales and gross margin, the absence of an accrual for a loss contingency recorded in the second and third quarters of 2016 and higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees, partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses and higher research, development and engineering expenses and a higher effective tax rate. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, benefited $0.04 from fewer weighted average shares outstanding, primarily due to the stock repurchase program.

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS
Our reportable operating segments consist of the Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Systems segments. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. We use segment EBIT as a primary basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments. See Note 12, "OPERATING SEGMENTS," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Following is a discussion of results for each of our operating segments.

Sales
Engine segment sales for the three months ended October 1, 2017, increased $477 million versus the comparable period in 2016, driven by:
Heavy-duty truck sales increased $151 million primarily due to higher demand in North American heavy-duty truck markets with increased shipments of 39 percent.
Off-highway sales increased $111 million primarily due to improved demand in global construction markets, with increased international unit shipments of 48 percent primarily in China and Western Europe.
Medium-duty truck and bus sales increased $108 million primarily due to higher demand in North American medium-duty truck markets with increased engine shipments of 41 percent.
Light-duty automotive sales increased $107 million primarily due to higher sales to Chrysler and higher sales of light commercial vehicles.
Total on-highway-related sales for the three months ended October 1, 2017, were 79 percent of total engine segment sales, versus 80 percent for the comparable period in 2016.
Engine segment sales for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, increased $829 million versus the comparable period in 2016. The following were the primary drivers:
Off-highway sales increased $261 million primarily due to improved demand in global industrial markets, especially in international construction markets, with increased unit shipments of 52 percent primarily in China and Australia.
Heavy-duty truck sales increased $232 million primarily due to higher demand in North American heavy-duty truck markets with increased shipments of 14 percent.
Medium-duty truck and bus sales increased $204 million primarily due to higher demand in North American medium-duty truck markets with increased engine shipments of 24 percent.
Light-duty automotive sales increased $132 million primarily due to higher sales to Chrysler and higher sales of light commercial vehicles, partially offset by lower sales to Nissan.
Total on-highway-related sales for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, were 79 percent of total engine segment sales, versus 81 percent for the comparable period in 2016.
EBIT
Engine segment EBIT for the three months ended October 1, 2017, increased $140 million versus the comparable period in 2016 primarily due to the absence of a loss contingency recorded in the third quarter of 2016 and higher gross margin, partially offset by higher research, development and engineering expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Engine segment EBIT for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, increased $243 million versus the comparable period in 2016 primarily due to the absence of a loss contingency recorded in the second and third quarters of 2016, improved gross margin and increased equity, royalty and interest income from investees, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and higher research, development and engineering expenses. Major components of EBIT and related changes to EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:

The increase in gross margin dollars for the three months ended October 1, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, was primarily due to higher volumes and improved leverage, partially offset by increased warranty costs for campaigns related to pre-2015 engines and higher variable compensation expense. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher compensation expense, especially variable compensation expense. The increase in research, development and engineering expenses was primarily due to higher compensation expense, especially variable compensation expense, and higher consulting expenses. The increase in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was primarily due to higher earnings at Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. and Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd.
The increase in gross margin dollars for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, was primarily due to higher volumes, improved leverage, favorable pricing and mix and lower material costs, partially offset by increased warranty costs for campaigns related to pre-2015 engines and higher variable compensation expense.

(1) Due to the acquisitions of North American distributors, sales previously recognized as external sales are now included in intersegment sales.
In the first quarter of 2017, our Components segment reorganized its reporting structure to move an element of the emission solutions business to the fuel systems business to enhance operational, administrative and product development efficiencies. Prior year sales were reclassified to conform with this change.
In the third quarter of 2017, we completed the Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies joint venture (ECJV), which was consolidated and included in our Components segment as the automated transmissions business. See Note 11, "ACQUISITION", in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Emission solutions sales increased $174 million primarily due to stronger market demand for trucks in North America and China and increased sales of products to meet new emission standards in India.
Automated transmissions had North American sales of $69 million following the consolidation of the ECJV during August and September.
Turbo technologies sales increased $56 million primarily due to higher demand in China and North America.
Fuel systems sales increased $48 million primarily due to higher demand in China, North America and Mexico.
Filtration sales increased $43 million primarily due to higher demand in North America, Australia and Eastern Europe.

These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the Chinese renminbi and British pound).
EBIT 
Components segment EBIT for the three months ended October 1, 2017, increased $69 million versus the comparable period in 2016, as higher gross margin was partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses and higher research, development and engineering expenses.
Components segment EBIT for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, increased $85 million versus the comparable period in 2016 primarily due to higher gross margin and increased equity, royalty and interest income from investees, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

The increase in gross margin for the three months ended October 1, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, was primarily due to higher volumes, lower material costs and improved leverage, partially offset by higher warranty costs driven by campaigns and increased variable compensation expense. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher compensation expense, especially variable compensation expense and expenses related to the new ECJV. The increase in research, development and engineering expenses was primarily due to higher variable compensation expense.
The increase in gross margin for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, was primarily due to higher volumes, lower material costs and improved leverage, partially offset by unfavorable pricing in North America, higher warranty costs driven by campaigns and changes in estimates and increased variable compensation expense. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher compensation expense, especially variable compensation expense, and expenses related to the new ECJV. The increase in research, development and engineering expenses was primarily due to higher variable compensation expense. The increase in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was primarily due to higher earnings at Dongfeng Cummins Emission Solutions Co., Ltd., Shanghai Fleetguard Filter Co. and Fleetguard Filtration Systems India Pvt.

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

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $157 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to higher consolidated net income, favorable translation and hedging activities and lower working capital levels, partially offset by higher equity in income of investees. During the first nine months of 2017, the lower working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $215 million compared to a cash outflow of $302 million in the comparable period in 2016
Net cash used in investing activities increased $196 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to the acquisition of Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies for $600 million, partially offset by lower net investments in marketable securities of $268 million, higher proceeds from the disposal of property, plant and equipment of $93 million and higher cash flows from derivatives not designated as hedges of $73 million.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased $445 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to lower repurchases of common stock of $354 million and lower payments on borrowings and capital lease obligations of $118 million, partially offset by lower proceeds from borrowings of $107 million.
The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, increased $224 million primarily due to the British pound, which increased cash and cash equivalents by $198 million.

(1) The majority of marketable securities could be liquidated into cash within a few days.
(2) The five-year credit facility for $1.75 billion and the 364-day credit facility for $1.0 billion, maturing November 2020 and September 2018 respectively, are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. At October 1, 2017, we had $514 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced the available capacity under our revolving credit facility to $2.24 billion.
(3) The available capacity is net of letters of credit.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
A significant portion of our cash flows is generated outside the U.S. We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. As a result, we do not anticipate any local liquidity restrictions to preclude us from funding our operating needs with local resources.
Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity
On September 5, 2017, we entered into a 364-day credit facility that allows us to borrow up to $1 billion of additional unsecured funds at any time through September 2018.
We have access to credit facilities that total $2.75 billion, including the new 364-day facility and the $1.75 billion facility that expires on November 13, 2020. We intend to maintain credit facilities of a similar aggregate amount by renewing or replacing these facilities before expiration. Revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings, letters of credit and general corporate purposes.
We can issue up to $1.75 billion of unsecured short-term promissory notes ("commercial paper") pursuant to our board authorized commercial paper programs. The programs facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes.
As a well-known seasoned issuer, we filed an automatic shelf registration for an undetermined amount of debt and equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2016. Under this shelf registration we may offer, from time to time, debt securities, common stock, preferred and preference stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.
Uses of Cash
Stock Repurchases
In December 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2015 repurchase plan. In the first nine months of 2017, we made the following purchases under the 2015 stock repurchase program:

____________________________________
(1) The remaining authorized capacity under the 2015 plan was calculated based on the cost to purchase the shares but excludes commission expenses in accordance with the authorized plan.
We may continue to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during 2017 to enhance shareholder value and to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock based compensation plans.
Dividends
In July 2017, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 5.4 percent from $1.025 per share to $1.08 per share. We paid dividends of $522 million during the nine months ended October 1, 2017.
Acquisition
In April 2017, we entered into an agreement to form a joint venture with Eaton Corporation PLC (Eaton), which closed on July 31, 2017 (the acquisition date). We purchased a 50 percent interest in the new venture named Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies for $600 million in cash. In addition, each partner contributed $20 million for working capital. The joint venture will design, assemble, sell and support medium-duty and heavy-duty automated transmissions for the commercial vehicle market, including new product launches. We consolidated the results of the joint venture in our Components segment as we have a majority voting interest in the venture by virtue of a tie-breaking vote on the joint venture's board of directors. We do not expect this new venture to have a significant impact on our consolidated results in 2017. See Note 11 "ACQUISITION," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures, including spending on internal use software, for the nine months ended October 1, 2017, were $341 million compared to $354 million in the comparable period in 2016We continue to invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions. We plan to spend between $500 million and $530 million in 2017 on capital expenditures as we continue with product launches and facility improvements. Approximately 50 percent of our capital expenditures are expected to be invested outside of the U.S. in 2017.
Pensions
Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 110 percent funded at December 31, 2016. Our U.S. qualified plans, which represent approximately 56 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, were 118 percent funded and our U.K. plans were 121 percent funded. The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon a variety of variables and assumptions including return on invested assets, market interest rates and levels of voluntary contributions to the plans. In the first nine months of 2017, the investment return on our U.S. pension trust was 9.7 percent while our U.K. pension trust return was 0.2 percent. Approximately 76 percent of our pension plan assets are held in highly liquid investments such as fixed income and equity securities. The remaining 24 percent of our plan assets are held in less liquid, but market valued investments, including real estate, private equity, venture capital, opportunistic credit and insurance contracts. We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2017 of $10 million for our U.S. and U.K. pension plans. Approximately $134 million of the estimated $135 million of U.S. and U.K. pension contributions for the full year are voluntary. These contributions may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants. We expect our 2017 net periodic pension cost to approximate $83 million.
Current Maturities of Short and Long-Term Debt
We had $514 million of commercial paper outstanding at October 1, 2017, that matures in less than one year. The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not require significant cash outflows in the intermediate term. Required annual principal payments range from $6 million to $59 million over the next five years (including the remainder of 2017). See Note 7 "DEBT," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Management's Assessment of Liquidity

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

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, “SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2016 Form 10-K, which discusses accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that often require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Management reviews these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in business conditions and other relevant factors they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In any given reporting period, our actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical accounting estimates are defined as follows: the estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate was made; different estimates reasonably could have been used; or if changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period and the change would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our senior management has discussed the development and selection of our accounting policies, related accounting estimates and the disclosures set forth below with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Our critical accounting estimates disclosed in the Form 10-K address the estimation of liabilities for warranty programs, accounting for income taxes and pension benefits.
A discussion of our critical accounting estimates may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of our 2016 Form 10-K under the caption “APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES.” Within the context of these critical accounting estimates, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in different policies or estimates being reported in the first nine months of 2017.
RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 13, "RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk may be found in Item 7A of our 2016 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 2016 Form 10-K. 
ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 1, 2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings
We are subject to numerous lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary course of our business, including actions related to product liability; personal injury; the use and performance of our products; warranty matters; product recalls; patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement; contractual liability; the conduct of our business; tax reporting in foreign jurisdictions; distributor termination; workplace safety; and environmental matters. We also have been identified as a potentially responsible party at multiple waste disposal sites under U.S. federal and related state environmental statutes and regulations and may have joint and several liability for any investigation and remediation costs incurred with respect to such sites. We have denied liability with respect to many of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings and are vigorously defending such lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We carry various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be applicable or adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us with respect to these lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We do not believe that these lawsuits are material individually or in the aggregate. While we believe we have also established adequate accruals pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for our expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon then presently available information, there can be no assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
We conduct significant business operations in Brazil that are subject to the Brazilian federal, state and local labor, social security, tax and customs laws. While we believe we comply with such laws, they are complex, subject to varying interpretations and we are often engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws to particular circumstances.
The disclosure set forth under "Loss Contingency" in Note 9, "COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A.  Risk Factors
In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should consider other risk factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or the "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION" in this Quarterly report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently judge to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

(1)  Shares purchased represent shares under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan established in 1969 (there is no maximum repurchase limitation in this plan) and our Board of Directors authorized share repurchase programs.
(2)  These values reflect the sum of shares held in loan status under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan. The repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors do not limit the number of shares that may be purchased and were excluded from this column. The dollar value remaining available for future purchases under such programs as of October 1, 2017, was $1.1 billion.
In December 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2015 repurchase plan. During the three months ended October 1, 2017, we repurchased $271 million of common stock under the 2015 Board of Directors authorized plan.

During the three months ended October 1, 2017, we repurchased 1,986 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 their initial five-year period for an additional five-year period. Participants must hold shares for a minimum of six months from date of purchase. If the shares are sold before the loan is paid off, the employee must wait six months before another share purchase may be made. We hold participants’ shares as security for the loans and would, in effect repurchase shares if the participant defaulted in repayment of the loan. There is no maximum amount of shares that we may purchase under this plan.
