NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Overview
Cummins Inc. (“Cummins,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was founded in 1919 as Cummins Engine Company, a corporation in Columbus, Indiana, and one of the first diesel engine manufacturers. In 2001, we changed our name to Cummins Inc. We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel, natural gas, electric and hybrid powertrains and powertrain-related components including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, automated transmissions, axles, drivelines, brakes, suspension systems, electric power generation systems, batteries, electrified power systems, electric powertrains, hydrogen production technologies and fuel cell products. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, dealers and other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a service network of approximately 460 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and more than 10,000 Cummins certified dealer locations in approximately 190 countries and territories.
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 were prepared in accordance with accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements were condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations.
These interim condensed consolidated 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, 2022. 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 required annual disclosures.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for prior year periods were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
Preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts presented and disclosed in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgment. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.
Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding
The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding exclude the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options. The options excluded from diluted earnings per share were as follows:

Supply Chain Financing
We currently have supply chain financing programs with financial intermediaries, which provide certain vendors the option to be paid by financial intermediaries earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. When a vendor utilizes the program and receives an early payment from a financial intermediary, they take a discount on the invoice. We then pay the financial intermediary the face amount of the invoice on the original due date, which generally have 60 to 90 day payment terms. The maximum amount that we could have outstanding under the program was $482 million at September 30, 2023. We do not reimburse vendors for any costs they incur for participation in the program, their participation is completely voluntary and there are no assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided for the committed payment to the finance provider or intermediary. As a result, all amounts owed to the financial intermediaries are presented as accounts payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts due to the financial intermediaries reflected in accounts payable at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were $220 million and $331 million, respectively.
NOTE 2. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Long-term Contracts
We have certain arrangements, primarily long-term maintenance agreements, construction contracts, product sales with associated performance obligations extending beyond a year and extended warranty coverage arrangements that span a period in excess of one year. The aggregate amount of the transaction price for long-term maintenance agreements and construction contracts allocated to performance obligations that were not satisfied as of September 30, 2023, was $795 million. We expect to recognize the related revenue of $334 million over the next 12 months and $461 million over periods up to 10 years. See NOTE 10, "PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY," for additional disclosures on extended warranty coverage arrangements. Our other contracts generally are for a duration of less than one year, include payment terms that correspond to the timing of costs incurred when providing goods and services to our customers or represent sales-based royalties.

Segment Revenue
As previously announced, our Components segment reorganized its reporting structure to carve out the electronics business into the newly formed software and electronics business and combined the turbo technologies and fuel systems businesses into the newly formed engine components business. We started reporting results for the reorganized business in the first quarter of 2023 and reflected these changes for prior periods. On May 26, 2023, with the Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc. (Atmus) initial public offering (IPO), we changed the name of our Components' filtration business to Atmus.

All debt securities are classified as available-for-sale. All marketable securities presented use a Level 2 fair value measure. The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated using actively quoted prices for similar instruments from brokers and observable inputs where available, including market transactions and third-party pricing services, or net asset values provided to investors. We do not currently have any Level 3 securities, and there were no transfers between Level 2 or 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, or the year ended December 31, 2022.
A description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for our Level 2 fair value measures is as follows:
•Debt mutual funds — The fair value measures for the vast majority of these investments are the daily net asset values 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 measure.
•Certificates of deposit — These investments provide us with a contractual rate of return and generally range in maturity from three months to five years. The counterparties to these investments are reputable financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Since these instruments are not tradable and must be settled directly by us with the respective financial institution, our fair value measure is the financial institution's month-end statement.
•Equity mutual funds — The fair value measures for these investments are the net asset values published by the issuing brokerage. Daily quoted prices are available from reputable third-party pricing services and are used on a test basis to corroborate this Level 2 input measure.
•Debt securities — The fair value measures for these securities are broker quotes received from reputable firms. These securities are infrequently traded on a national exchange and these values are used on a test basis to corroborate our Level 2 input measure.

We can issue up to $4.0 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized commercial paper programs. These 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 acquisitions and general corporate purposes.
Revolving Credit Facilities
On June 5, 2023, we entered into an amended and restated 364-day credit agreement that allows us to borrow up to $2.0 billion of unsecured funds at any time prior to June 3, 2024. This credit agreement amended and restated the prior $1.5 billion 364-day credit facility that matured on August 16, 2023. In connection with the 364-day credit agreement, effective June 5, 2023, we terminated our $500 million incremental 364-day credit agreement dated August 17, 2022.
We have access to committed credit facilities totaling $4.0 billion, including our $2.0 billion 364-day facility that expires June 3, 2024, and our $2.0 billion five-year facility that expires on August 18, 2026. We intend to maintain credit facilities at the current or higher aggregate amounts by renewing or replacing these facilities at or before expiration. These revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, the $1.7 billion of outstanding commercial paper effectively reduced the $4.0 billion of revolving credit capacity to $2.3 billion.
At September 30, 2023, we also had an additional $356 million available for borrowings under our international and other domestic credit facilities.
At September 30, 2023, Atmus had no outstanding borrowings under its $400 million revolving credit facility. See "Atmus Credit Agreement" section below for additional details.

Atmus Credit Agreement
On February 15, 2023, certain of our subsidiaries entered into an amendment to the $1.0 billion credit agreement (Credit Agreement), consisting of a $400 million revolving credit facility and a $600 million term loan facility, in anticipation of the separation of Atmus, which extended the date on which the Credit Agreement terminated from March 30, 2023, to June 30, 2023. On May 26, 2023, Atmus drew down the entire $600 million term loan facility and borrowed $50 million under the revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement mature in September 2027 (with quarterly payments on the term loan beginning in September 2024) and bear interest at varying rates, depending on the type of loan and, in some cases, the rates of designated benchmarks and the applicable borrower’s election. Generally, U.S. dollar-denominated loans bear interest at adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) (which includes a 0.10 percent credit spread adjustment to term SOFR) for the applicable interest period plus a rate ranging from 1.125 percent to 1.75 percent. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and financial and other covenants, including maintaining a net leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0. At September 30, 2023, they had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and $600 million outstanding under the term loan facility. See NOTE 15, "FORMATION OF ATMUS AND IPO," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
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; environmental matters; and asbestos claims. We also have been identified as a potentially responsible party at multiple waste disposal sites under U.S. federal and related state environmental statutes and regulations and may have joint and several liability for any investigation and remediation costs incurred with respect to such sites. We have denied liability with respect to many of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings and are vigorously defending such lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We carry various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be applicable or adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us with respect to these lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We do not believe that these lawsuits are material individually or in the aggregate. While we believe we have also established adequate accruals for our expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon then presently available information, there can be no assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
We conduct significant business operations in Brazil that are subject to the Brazilian federal, state and local labor, social security, tax and customs laws. While we believe we comply with such laws, they are complex, subject to varying interpretations and we are often engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws to particular circumstances.
On June 28, 2022, KAMAZ Publicly Traded Company (KAMAZ) was designated to the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). We filed blocked property reports for relevant assets and sought relevant authorizations to extricate ourselves from our relationship with KAMAZ and its subsidiaries, including our unconsolidated joint venture with KAMAZ, in compliance with U.S. and other applicable laws. We received OFAC authorization on May 26, 2023, and from the U.K. Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation on September 15, 2023, which will allow us to finalize the exit of our unconsolidated joint venture with KAMAZ.
On April 29, 2019, we announced that we were conducting a formal internal review of our emissions certification process and compliance with emission standards for our pick-up truck applications, following conversations with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) regarding certification of our engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks. This review is being conducted with external advisors as we strive to ensure the certification and compliance processes for all of our pick-up truck applications are consistent with our internal policies, engineering standards and applicable laws. During conversations with the EPA and CARB about the effectiveness of our pick-up truck applications, the regulators raised concerns that certain aspects of our emissions systems may reduce the effectiveness of our emissions control systems and thereby act as defeat devices. As a result, our internal review focuses, in part, on the regulators’ concerns. We are working closely with the regulators to enhance our emissions systems to improve the effectiveness of all of our pick-up truck applications and to fully address the regulators’ requirements. Based on discussions with the regulators, we have developed a new calibration for the engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks that has been included in all engines shipped since September 2019. During our ongoing discussions, the regulators turned their attention to other model years and other engines, most notably our pick-up truck applications for RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks for model years 2013 through 2018 and Titan trucks for model years 2016 through 2019. Most recently, the regulators have also raised concerns regarding the completeness of our disclosures in our certification applications for RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks for model years 2013 through 2023. We have also been in communication with Environmental and Climate Change Canada regarding similar issues relating to some of these very same platforms. In connection with these and other ongoing discussions with the EPA and CARB, we are developing a new software calibration and will recall model years 2013 through 2018 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks. We accrued $30 million for the RAM recall during the first quarter of 2022, an amount that reflected our current estimate of the cost of that recall. We are also developing a new software calibration and hardware fix and will recall model years 2016 through 2019 Titan trucks. We accrued $29 million for the Titan recall during the third quarter of 2022, an amount that reflected our current estimate of the cost of that recall.
We will continue to work together closely with the relevant regulators to develop and implement recommendations for improvements and seek to reach further resolutions as part of our ongoing commitment to compliance. Based upon our discussions to date with the regulators which are continuing, such resolutions may involve our agreeing to one or more consent decrees and paying civil penalties. Due to the presence of many unknown facts and circumstances, we are not yet able to estimate any further financial impact of these matters. The consequences resulting from our formal review and these regulatory processes likely will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows, however we cannot yet reasonably estimate a loss or range of loss.
20
Guarantees and Commitments
Periodically, we enter into guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financings, residual value guarantees on equipment under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of joint ventures or third-party obligations. At September 30, 2023, the maximum potential loss related to these guarantees was $47 million.
We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. At September 30, 2023, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $252 million. These arrangements enable us to secure supplies of critical components and IT services. We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.
We enter into physical forward contracts with suppliers of platinum and palladium to purchase certain volumes of the commodities at contractually stated prices for various periods, which generally fall within two years. At September 30, 2023, the total commitments under these contracts were $38 million. These arrangements enable us to guarantee 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 $154 million at September 30, 2023.
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 13. DERIVATIVES
We are exposed to financial risk resulting from volatility in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. This risk is closely monitored and managed through the use of physical forward contracts (which are not considered derivatives) and financial derivative instruments including foreign currency forward contracts, commodity swap contracts and interest rate swaps and locks. Financial derivatives are used expressly for hedging purposes and under no circumstances are they used for speculative purposes. When material, we adjust the estimated fair value of our derivative contracts for counterparty or our credit risk. None of our derivative instruments are subject to collateral requirements. Substantially all of our derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements, which provide us with the option to settle certain contracts on a net basis when they settle on the same day with the same currency. In addition, these arrangements provide for a net settlement of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event that the arrangement is terminated due to the occurrence of default or a termination event.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We had foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $4.7 billion and $3.6 billion at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The following currencies comprise 87 percent and 88 percent of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively: British pound, Chinese renminbi, Canadian dollar, Euro and Australian dollar.
We are further exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as many of our subsidiaries are subject to fluctuations as the functional currencies of the underlying entities are not our U.S. dollar reporting currency. To help minimize movements for certain investments, in the third quarter of 2022 we began entering into foreign exchange forwards designated as net investment hedges for certain of our investments. Under the current terms of our foreign exchange forwards, we agreed with third parties to sell British pound in exchange for U.S. dollar currency at a specified rate at the maturity of the contract. The notional amount of these hedges at September 30, 2023, was $776 million.
The following table summarizes the net investment hedge activity in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL):

Interest Rate Risk
In September 2023, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $500 million in order to trade a portion of the floating rate into a fixed rate on our term loan, due in 2025. The maturity date of the interest rate swaps is August 1, 2025. The weighted-average interest rate of the interest rate swaps is 5.72 percent. We designated the swaps as cash flow hedges. The gains and losses on these derivative instruments are initially recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as each interest payment is accrued. The interest rate swap activity in AOCL was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
In 2021, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert our $500 million senior notes, due in 2025, from a fixed rate of 0.75 percent to a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread. We also entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert $765 million of our $850 million senior notes, due in 2030, from a fixed rate of 1.50 percent to a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread. The fallback protocol in our derivative agreements allowed for a transition from LIBOR to SOFR in the third quarter of 2023. We designated the swaps as fair value hedges. The gain or loss on these derivative instruments, 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. The net swap settlements that accrue each period are also reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as interest expense. In March 2023, we settled a portion of our 2021 interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $100 million. The $7 million loss on settlement will be amortized over the remaining term of the related debt.

In 2019, we entered into $350 million of interest rate lock agreements, and in 2020 we entered into an additional $150 million of lock agreements to reduce the variability of the cash flows of the interest payments on a total of $500 million of fixed rate debt forecast to be issued in 2023 to replace our senior notes at maturity. The terms of the rate locks mirror the time period of the expected fixed rate debt issuance and the expected timing of interest payments on that debt. The gains and losses on these derivative instruments are initially recorded in other comprehensive income and will be released to earnings in interest expense in future periods to reflect the difference in (1) the fixed rates economically locked in at the inception of the hedge and (2) the actual fixed rates established in the debt instrument at issuance. In December 2022, we settled certain rate lock agreements with notional amounts totaling $150 million for $49 million. In February 2023, we settled certain rate lock agreements with notional amounts totaling $100 million for $34 million. In August 2023, we settled all remaining rate lock agreements with notional amounts totaling $250 million for $67 million. The $150 million of gains on settlements will remain in other comprehensive income and will be amortized over the term of the anticipated new debt.

We elected to present our derivative contracts on a gross basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Had we chosen to present on a net basis, we would have derivatives in a net asset position of $9 million and $52 million and derivatives in a net liability position of $143 million and $100 million at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

NOTE 14. RUSSIAN OPERATIONS
On March 17, 2022, the Board indefinitely suspended our operations in Russia due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. At the time of suspension, our Russian operations included a wholly-owned distributor in Russia, an unconsolidated joint venture with KAMAZ (a Russian truck manufacturer) and direct sales into Russia from our other business segments. As a result of the indefinite suspension of operations, we evaluated the recoverability of assets in Russia and assessed other potential liabilities. We experienced an inability to collect customer receivables and may be the subject of litigation as a consequence of our indefinite suspension of commercial operations in Russia. The following summarizes the costs (recoveries) associated with the suspension of our Russian operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income:

NOTE 15. FORMATION OF ATMUS AND IPO
On May 23, 2023, in connection with the Atmus IPO, Cummins issued approximately $350 million of commercial paper with certain lenders. On May 26, 2023, Atmus shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ATMU." The IPO was completed on May 30, 2023, whereby Cummins exchanged 19.5 percent (approximately 16 million shares) of its ownership in Atmus, at $19.50 per share, to retire $299 million of the commercial paper as proceeds from the offering through a non-cash transaction.
In connection with the completion of the IPO, through a series of asset and equity contributions, we transferred the filtration business to Atmus. In exchange, Atmus transferred consideration of $650 million to Cummins, which consisted primarily of the net proceeds from a term loan facility and revolver executed by Atmus during May 2023. The commercial paper issued and retired through the IPO proceeds, coupled with the $650 million received, is intended to be used for the retirement of our historical debt, dividends and share repurchases. The difference between the commercial paper retired from the IPO, other IPO related fees and the net book value of our divested interest was $285 million and was recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital. Of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2023, $130 million is retained by Atmus for its working capital purposes. See NOTE 9, "DEBT," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
We will continue to consolidate the financial position and results of Atmus, so long as we retain control. The earnings attributable to the divested, noncontrolling interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $7 million and $10 million, respectively. At September 30, 2023, the noncontrolling interest associated with Atmus is reflected in noncontrolling interests in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Subject to market conditions, we intend to make a tax-free split-off of Atmus, pursuant to which Cummins will offer its stockholders the option to exchange their shares of Cummins common stock for shares of Atmus common stock in an exchange offer.

Hydrogenics Corporation - Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
On June 29, 2023, a share purchase agreement was executed with a 19 percent minority shareholder in one of our businesses, Hydrogenics Corporation (Hydrogenics), whereby we agreed to pay the minority shareholder $335 million for their 19 percent ownership, including the settlement of shareholder loans of $48 million. As part of the share purchase agreement, Hydrogenics entered into three non-interest-bearing promissory notes with $175 million paid on July 31, 2023, and the remaining $160 million due in three installments through 2025. We recorded the non-interest-bearing promissory notes at their present value in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The long-term amount, net of unamortized debt discount, was $145 million and reflected in long-term debt at September 30, 2023.
Prior to the execution of this transaction, the minority shareholder had, among other rights and subject to related obligations and restrictive covenants, rights that were exercisable between September 2022 and September 2026 to require us to (1) purchase such shareholder's shares (put option) at an amount up to the fair market value (calculated pursuant to a process outlined in the shareholders' agreement) and (2) sell to such shareholder Hydrogenics' electrolyzer business at an amount up to the fair market value of the electrolyzer business (calculated pursuant to a process outlined in the shareholders’ agreement). The estimated fair value of the put option was recorded as redeemable noncontrolling interests in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements with an offset to additional paid-in capital, and at December 31, 2022, the balance was $258 million. The redeemable noncontrolling interest balance was reduced to zero as of the acquisition date.
Teksid Hierro de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.
On April 3, 2023, we purchased all of the equity ownership interest of Teksid Hierro de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (Teksid MX) and Teksid, Inc. from Stellantis N.V. for approximately $143 million (including $32 million for the settlement of accounts payable), subject to certain adjustments set forth in the agreement. Teksid MX operates a cast iron foundry located in Monclova, Mexico, which primarily forges blocks and heads used in our and other manufacturers’ engines. Teksid, Inc. facilitates the commercialization of Teksid MX products in North America. Since we are the primary customer of the foundry, the acquisition is not expected to result in material incremental sales to our business. Approximately $90 million of the purchase price was allocated to property, plant and equipment. The remainder was allocated primarily to working capital assets and liabilities (including approximately $16 million of cash and cash equivalents) and resulted in approximately $18 million of goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. In the third quarter we finalized the purchase price and made certain other adjustments, which resulted in a $7 million decrease in goodwill. The values assigned to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary based on management’s current best estimate and subject to change as certain matters are finalized. The primary areas that remain open are related to deferred taxes and other tax contingencies. The results of the business were reported in our Engine segment. Pro forma financial information for the acquisition was not presented as the effects are not material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
28
Meritor, Inc.
During the second quarter of 2023, we finalized our accounting for the Meritor, Inc. acquisition. The primary components of the change were to increase contingent liabilities by $62 million offset by finalization of deferred taxes and tax reserves, with a net increase to goodwill of $26 million. There was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income for any of the changes.
The following table presents the supplemental consolidated results of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, on an unaudited pro-forma basis as if the acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2021. The primary adjustments reflected in the pro-forma results related to (1) increase in interest expense for debt used to fund the acquisition, (2) removal of acquisition related costs from 2022 and (3) changes related to purchase accounting primarily related to amortization of intangibles, fixed assets and joint ventures. The unaudited pro forma financial information presented below does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that Cummins and Meritor would have achieved had the companies been combined during the periods presented and was not intended to project the future results of operations that the combined company could achieve after the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect any potential cost savings, operating efficiencies, long-term debt pay down estimates, financial synergies or other strategic benefits as a result of the acquisition or any restructuring costs to achieve those benefits.

NOTE 17. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Operating segments under GAAP are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
Our reportable operating segments consist of Components, Engine, Distribution, Power Systems and Accelera. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers, electronics, fuel systems, automated transmissions, axles, drivelines, brakes and suspension systems. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and smaller) and associated parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various off-highway markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, agriculture, power generation systems and other off-highway applications. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world. The Power Systems segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and sells engines (16 liters and larger) for industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas, marine and rail), standby and prime power generator sets, alternators and other power components. The Accelera segment designs, manufactures, sells and supports hydrogen production technologies as well as electrified power systems with innovative components and subsystems, including battery, fuel cell and electric powertrain technologies. The Accelera segment is currently in the early stages of commercializing these technologies with efforts primarily focused on the development of our electrolyzers for hydrogen production and electrified power systems and related components and subsystems. We continue to serve all our markets as they adopt electrification and alternative power technologies, meeting the needs of our OEM partners and end customers.
We use segment earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA) as the basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable operating segments. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments.
The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepared the financial results of our operating segments on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which we internally disaggregate financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions. We allocate certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments differently than we would for stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal, finance and supply chain management. We do not allocate gains or losses of corporate owned life insurance and certain Atmus separation costs to individual segments. EBITDA may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.
As previously announced, in March 2023, we rebranded our New Power segment as "Accelera" to better represent our commitment to zero-emission technologies. In addition, we moved our NPROXX joint venture from the Accelera segment to the Engine segment, which adjusted both the equity, royalty and interest income from investees and segment EBITDA line items for the current and prior year. We started to report results for the changes within our operating segments effective January 1, 2023, and reflected these changes in the historical periods presented.

NOTE 18. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a standard related to the disclosure of additional information about the use of supplier finance programs. Under the new standard, entities are required to disclose (1) key terms of the programs, (2) the amount outstanding that remains unpaid as of the end of the period, including where amounts are recorded in the balance sheets and (3) an annual rollforward of those obligations, including the amount of obligations confirmed and the amount of obligations subsequently paid. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2023, on a retrospective basis other than the rollforward, which we currently plan to early adopt on a prospective basis beginning with our 2023 annual financial statements. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements. See "Supply Chain Financing" section in NOTE 1, "NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION," for additional information.
NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 2, 2023, we purchased from the Forvia Group all of the equity ownership of Faurecia's U.S. and Europe commercial vehicle exhaust business for approximately €199 million, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the agreement. This business provides canning and assembly operations for full exhaust systems primarily for the on-highway applications. This acquisition will be included in our Components segment starting in the fourth quarter of 2023. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the initial purchase accounting is not yet complete and will be included in the fourth quarter Form 10-K filing.
On October 2, 2023, we repaid our $500 million senior notes, due 2023, using a combination of cash on hand and additional commercial paper borrowings. On October 31, 2023, we repaid $150 million of our term loan, due 2025, using cash on hand.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Overview
We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel, natural gas, electric and hybrid powertrains and powertrain-related components including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, automated transmissions, axles, drivelines, brakes, suspension systems, electric power generation systems, batteries, electrified power systems, electric powertrains, hydrogen production technologies and fuel cell products. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, dealers and other customers worldwide. We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc, Traton Group, Daimler Trucks North America and Stellantis N.V. We serve our customers through a service network of approximately 460 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and more than 10,000 Cummins certified dealer locations in approximately 190 countries and territories.
As previously announced, beginning in the first quarter of 2023, we realigned certain businesses and regions within our reportable segments to be consistent with how our segment managers monitor the performance of our segments. We reorganized the businesses within our Components segment to carve out the electronics business into the newly formed software and electronics business and combined the turbo technologies and fuel systems businesses into the newly formed engine components business. On May 26, 2023, we changed the name of our Components' filtration business to Atmus with the initial public offering (IPO). Our Components segment now consists of the following businesses: axles and brakes, emission solutions, engine components, Atmus, automated transmissions and software and electronics. In the first quarter of 2023, as a result of the indefinite suspension of operations in Russia, we reorganized the regional management structure of our Distribution segment and moved all Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) sales into the Europe and Africa and Middle East regions. The Russian portion of prior period CIS sales moved to the Europe region. In March 2023, we rebranded our New Power segment as "Accelera" to better represent our commitment to zero-emission technologies. In addition, we moved our NPROXX joint venture from the Accelera segment to the Engine segment, which adjusted both the equity, royalty and interest income from investees and segment EBITDA (defined as earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests) line items for the current and prior year. We started to report results for the changes within our operating segments effective January 1, 2023, and reflected these changes in the historical periods presented. See NOTE 15, "FORMATION OF ATMUS AND IPO," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Atmus IPO.
Our reportable operating segments consist of Components, Engine, Distribution, Power Systems and Accelera. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers, electronics, fuel systems, automated transmissions, axles, drivelines, brakes and suspension systems. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and smaller) and associated parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various off-highway markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, agriculture, power generation systems and other off-highway applications. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world. The Power Systems segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and sells engines (16 liters and larger) for industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas, marine and rail), standby and prime power generator sets, alternators and other power components. The Accelera segment designs, manufactures, sells and supports hydrogen production
35
technologies as well as electrified power systems with innovative components and subsystems, including battery, fuel cell and electric powertrain technologies. The Accelera segment is currently in the early stages of commercializing these technologies with efforts primarily focused on the development of our electrolyzers for hydrogen production and electrified power systems and related components and subsystems. We continue to serve all our markets as they adopt electrification and alternative power technologies, meeting the needs of our OEM partners and end customers.
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, stoppages and supply chain challenges. 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 geopolitical risks (such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine), currency fluctuations, political and economic uncertainty, public health crises (epidemics or pandemics) 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 higher levels of these risks such as China, Brazil, India, Mexico 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, region, the economy of any single country or customer on our consolidated results.
Supply Chain Disruptions
We continue to experience supply chain disruptions, increased price levels and related financial impacts reflected as increased cost of sales and inventory holdings. Our industry continues to be unfavorably impacted by supply chain constraints leading to shortages and price increases across multiple component categories and limiting our collective ability to meet end-user demand. Our customers are also experiencing supply chain issues. The Board of Directors (the Board) continues to monitor and evaluate all of these factors and the related impacts on our business and operations, and we are diligently working to minimize the supply chain impacts to our business and to our customers.

Worldwide revenues increased 15 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, due to a full quarter of axles and brakes sales in the Components segment from the Meritor acquisition on August 3, 2022, and higher demand in all operating segments and most geographic regions. Net sales in the U.S. and Canada improved 16 percent, primarily due to a full quarter of axles and brakes sales, increased demand in most Distribution product lines and stronger demand in heavy-duty and medium-duty truck markets, which positively impacted most Components businesses. International demand (excludes the U.S. and Canada) improved 13 percent, with higher sales in most geographic regions. The increase in international sales was principally due to a full quarter of axles and brakes sales in Western Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific and higher demand for power generation equipment.
Worldwide revenues increased 26 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, due to increased axles and brakes sales in the Components segment of $3.0 billion from the Meritor acquisition and higher demand in all operating segments and most geographic regions, partially offset by the decrease in Russian sales due to the indefinite suspension of our Russian operations in March 2022. Net sales in the U.S. and Canada improved 28 percent, primarily due to incremental sales of axles and brakes, increased demand in all Distribution product lines and stronger demand in heavy-duty and medium-duty truck markets, which positively impacted most Components businesses. International demand (excludes the U.S. and Canada) improved by 22 percent, with higher sales in most geographic regions, partially offset by the decrease in Russian sales due to the indefinite suspension of our operations in March 2022. The increase in international sales was principally due to incremental sales of axles and brakes in Western Europe, Latin America, India and Asia Pacific. Unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations impacted international sales by 3 percent (primarily the Chinese renminbi and Indian rupee).

Net income attributable to Cummins Inc. was $656 million, or $4.59 per diluted share, on sales of $8.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2023, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins Inc. of $400 million, or $2.82 per diluted share, on sales of $7.3 billion. The increases in net income attributable to Cummins Inc. and earnings per diluted share were driven by higher net sales, improved gross margins and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by increased compensation costs, higher interest expense related to increased floating interest rates and new borrowings, increased net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and higher consulting expenses. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to favorable pricing, lower freight costs, higher volumes (including a full quarter of axles and brakes from the Meritor acquisition) and favorable mix, partially offset by higher compensation expenses.

Net income attributable to Cummins Inc. was $2.2 billion, or $15.19 per diluted share, on sales of $25.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins Inc. of $1.5 billion, or $10.68 per diluted share, on sales of $20.3 billion. The increases in net income attributable to Cummins Inc. and earnings per diluted share were driven by higher net sales and improved gross margins, partially offset by increased compensation expenses and higher interest expense related to increased floating interest rates and new borrowings. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher volumes (including sales of axles and brakes from the Meritor acquisition) and favorable pricing, partially offset by higher compensation expenses.

We generated $2.5 billion of cash from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1.1 billion for the comparable period in 2022. See the section titled "Cash Flows" in the "LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES" section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.
Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at September 30, 2023, was 39.0 percent, compared to 44.1 percent at December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the increased equity balance from strong earnings since December 31, 2022 and lower debt. At September 30, 2023, we had $3.1 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand and access to our $4.0 billion credit facilities, if necessary, to meet acquisition, working capital, investment and funding needs.
On October 2, 2023, we repaid our $500 million senior notes, due 2023, using a combination of cash on hand and additional commercial paper borrowings.
On October 2, 2023, we purchased all of the equity ownership of Faurecia's U.S. and Europe commercial vehicle exhaust business from the Forvia Group for approximately €199 million, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the agreement. See NOTE 19, "SUBSEQUENT EVENTS," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
In July 2023, the Board authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of approximately 7 percent from $1.57 per share to $1.68 per share.
In the first nine months of 2023, the investment gain on our U.S. pension trusts was 2.32 percent, while our U.K. pension trusts' loss was 10.69 percent. To better hedge its liabilities, our U.K. pension plan sold a substantial portion of its private markets assets at a discount at the end of the second quarter, which fully settled in the third quarter and detracted from investment performance for the period. We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2023 of $13 million for our U.S. and U.K. qualified and non-qualified pension plans. We expect our 2023 annual net periodic pension cost to be near zero.
As of the date of this filing, our credit ratings and outlooks from the credit rating agencies remain unchanged.

Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023, increased by $1.1 billion versus the comparable period in 2022. The primary drivers were as follows:
•Components segment sales increased 20 percent largely due to a full quarter of axles and brakes sales from the Meritor acquisition versus two months of sales in the comparable period in 2022.
•Distribution segment sales increased 13 percent due to higher demand across all product lines, especially in North America.
•Engine segment sales increased 5 percent principally due to strong heavy-duty and medium-duty truck demand in North America.
•Power Systems segment sales increased 7 percent primarily due to higher demand in power generation markets.
39
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased $5.2 billion versus the comparable period in 2022. The primary drivers were as follows:
•Components segment sales increased 54 percent largely due to axles and brakes sales from the Meritor acquisition.
•Distribution segment sales increased 14 percent due to higher demand across all product lines, especially in North America.
•Engine segment sales increased 7 percent principally due to strong heavy-duty and medium-duty truck demand in North America.
•Power Systems segment sales increased 14 percent primarily due to higher demand in power generation markets.
These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations of 1 percent of total sales, primarily in the Chinese renminbi and Indian rupee.
Sales to international markets (excluding the U.S. and Canada), based on location of customers, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were 38 percent and 39 percent of total net sales compared with 39 percent and 40 percent of total net sales for the comparable periods in 2022. A more detailed discussion of sales by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.
Cost of Sales
The types of expenses included in cost of sales are the following: parts and material consumption, including direct and indirect materials; compensation and related expenses including variable compensation, salaries and fringe benefits; depreciation on production equipment and facilities and amortization of technology intangibles; estimated costs of warranty programs and campaigns; production utilities; production-related purchasing; warehousing, including receiving and inspection; freight costs; engineering support costs; repairs and maintenance; production and warehousing facility property insurance; rent for production facilities; charges for the write-downs of inventories in Russia and other production overhead.
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased $429 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and increased 2.2 points as a percentage of net sales versus the comparable period in 2022. The increase in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to favorable pricing, lower freight costs, higher volumes (including a full quarter of axles and brakes from the Meritor acquisition) and favorable mix, partially offset by higher compensation expenses. Compensation and related expenses include variable compensation, salaries and fringe benefits.
Gross margin increased $1.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and increased 0.4 points as a percentage of sales versus the comparable period in 2022. The increase in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to higher volumes (including sales of axles and brakes from the Meritor acquisition) and favorable pricing, partially offset by higher compensation expenses.
The provision for base warranties issued as a percent of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was 1.9 percent and 1.8 percent, respectively, compared to 1.7 percent and 1.9 percent for the comparable periods in 2022.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for 2023 is expected to approximate 22.0 percent, excluding any discrete items that may arise.
Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were 21.4 percent and 21.8 percent, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, were 32.7 percent and 24.6 percent, respectively.
The three months ended September 30, 2023, contained net favorable discrete tax items of $5 million, primarily due to $13 million of favorable return to provision adjustments and $1 million of favorable share-based compensation tax benefits, partially offset by $9 million of unfavorable adjustments for uncertain tax positions.
The nine months ended September 30, 2023, contained net favorable discrete tax items of $5 million, primarily due to $15 million of favorable return to provision adjustments and $5 million of favorable share-based compensation tax benefit, partially offset by $11 million of unfavorable adjustments for uncertain tax positions and $4 million of other unfavorable adjustments.
The three months ended September 30, 2022, contained unfavorable discrete tax items of $57 million, primarily due to $51 million of unfavorable tax costs associated with internal restructuring ahead of the planned separation of Atmus and $10 million of unfavorable return to provision adjustments, partially offset by $4 million of net favorable other discrete tax items.
The nine months ended September 30, 2022, contained unfavorable net discrete tax items of $52 million, primarily due to $69 million of unfavorable tax costs associated with internal restructuring ahead of the planned separation of Atmus and $10 million of unfavorable return to provision adjustments, partially offset by $27 million of favorable changes in tax reserves.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to non-Cummins ownership interests in our consolidated entities. Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, increased $25 million and $48 million, respectively versus the comparable periods in 2022. The increase for the for three months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to the absence of losses at Hydrogenics Corporation resulting from the June 2023 acquisition, earnings attributable to the divested, noncontrolling interest in Atmus and higher earnings at Eaton Cummins Joint Venture. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was principally due to higher earnings at Cummins India Limited and Eaton Cummins Joint Venture.

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS
As previously announced, beginning in the first quarter of 2023, we realigned certain businesses and regions within our reportable segments to be consistent with how our segment managers monitor the performance of our segments. We reorganized the businesses within our Components segment to carve out the electronics business into the newly formed software and electronics business and combined the turbo technologies and fuel systems businesses into the newly formed engine components business. On May 26, 2023, we changed the name of our Components' filtration business to Atmus with the IPO. Our Components segment now consists of the following businesses: axles and brakes, emission solutions, engine components, Atmus, automated transmissions and software and electronics. In the first quarter of 2023, as a result of the indefinite suspension of operations in Russia, we reorganized the regional management structure of our Distribution segment and moved all Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) sales into the Europe and Africa and Middle East regions. The Russian portion of prior period CIS sales moved to the Europe region. In March 2023, we rebranded our New Power segment as "Accelera" to better represent our commitment to zero-emission technologies. In addition, we moved our NPROXX joint venture from the Accelera segment to the Engine segment, which adjusted both the equity, royalty and interest income from investees and segment EBITDA line items for the current and prior year. We started to report results for the changes within our operating segments effective January 1, 2023, and reflected these changes in the historical periods presented. See NOTE 15, "FORMATION OF ATMUS AND IPO," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Atmus IPO.
Our reportable operating segments consist of the Components, Engine, Distribution, Power Systems and Accelera segments. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. We use segment EBITDA as the basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable operating segments. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments. See NOTE 17, "OPERATING SEGMENTS," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information and a reconciliation of our segment information to the corresponding amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.
Following is a discussion of results for each of our operating segments.

OUTLOOK
Supply Chain Disruptions
We continue to experience supply chain disruptions, increased price levels and related financial impacts reflected as increased cost of sales and inventory holdings. Our industry continues to be unfavorably impacted by supply chain constraints leading to shortages and price increases across multiple component categories and limiting our collective ability to meet end-user demand. Our customers are also experiencing supply chain issues. The Board continues to monitor and evaluate all of these factors and the related impacts on our business and operations and we are diligently working to minimize the supply chain impacts to our business and to our customers.
Business Outlook
Our outlook reflects the following positive trends and challenges to our business that could impact our revenue and earnings potential for the remainder of 2023.
Positive Trends
•We expect demand for medium-duty trucks in North America to remain strong.
•We believe market demand for trucks in India will continue to be strong.
•We expect demand within our Power Systems business to remain strong, including the power generation, mining, oil and gas and marine markets.
•We anticipate demand in our aftermarket business will continue to be robust, albeit with some softening in the remainder of the year, driven primarily by truck utilization in North America and continued strong demand in our Power Systems business.
•We expect demand for trucks in China to improve from the low demand levels in 2022.
Challenges
•Continued increases in material and labor costs, as well as other inflationary pressures, could negatively impact earnings.
•Our industry's sales continue to be unfavorably impacted by supply chain constraints leading to shortages across multiple components categories and limiting our collective ability to meet end-user demand. Our customers are also experiencing other supply chain issues limiting full production capabilities.
•The completion of the Meritor, Inc. acquisition in 2022 impacted our liquidity and resulted in incremental interest expense for debt utilized in funding the transaction and increased amortization of intangible assets, which will negatively impact net income.
•Labor actions within the North American automotive sector could disrupt pick-up truck production with a negative impact on net income.
•Increasing interest rates could increase borrowing costs and negatively impact net income.
•We expect the ongoing separation of Atmus, our filtration business, into a stand-alone company will continue to result in incremental expenses.

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's attention. Working capital and balance sheet measures are provided in the following table:

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, versus the comparable period in 2022, primarily due to higher net income of $694 million and lower working capital requirements of $349 million. The lower working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $370 million compared to a cash outflow of $719 million in the comparable period of 2022, mainly due to increased accrued expenses (from higher variable compensation accruals in 2023 and higher variable compensation payments in the first quarter of 2022 for the previous year), partially offset by unfavorable changes in accounts payable.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $2.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, versus the comparable period in 2022, primarily due to lower acquisition activity of $2.9 billion, partially offset by higher capital expenditures of $241 million.
Net cash used in financing activities increased $3.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, versus the comparable period in 2022, primarily due to higher net payments of commercial paper of $2.6 billion and lower proceeds from borrowings of $1.3 billion, partially offset by lower payments on borrowings and finance lease obligations of $679 million and the absence of repurchases of common stock of $370 million.
The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, versus the comparable period in 2022, decreased $214 million primarily due to unfavorable fluctuations in the British pound, partially offset by the Chinese renminbi.

Sources of Liquidity
We generate significant ongoing cash flow. Cash provided by operations is our principal source of liquidity with $2,507 million generated in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our sources of liquidity include:

At September 30, 2023, we had $1.7 billion of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced our available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $2.3 billion. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) In February 2023, Atmus entered into a $400 million revolving credit facility and at September 30, 2023, they had no outstanding borrowings under this facility. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Marketable Securities
A significant portion of our cash flow is generated outside the U.S. We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. As a result, we do not anticipate any local liquidity restrictions to preclude us from funding our operating needs with local resources.
If we distribute our foreign cash balances to the U.S. or to other foreign subsidiaries, we could be required to accrue and pay withholding taxes, for example, if we repatriated cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings we asserted are completely or partially permanently reinvested. Foreign earnings for which we assert permanent reinvestment outside the U.S. consist primarily of earnings of our China, India, Canada (including underlying subsidiaries) and Netherlands domiciled subsidiaries. At present, we do not foresee a need to repatriate any earnings for which we assert permanent reinvestment. However, to help fund cash needs of the U.S. or other international subsidiaries as they arise, we repatriate available cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings are not permanently reinvested when it is cost effective to do so.
Restricted Cash
We had $225 million of restricted cash at September 30, 2023, of which $216 million was in an escrow account and used to fund the acquisition of Faurecia's U.S. and Europe commercial vehicle exhaust business on October 2, 2023. See NOTE 19, "SUBSEQUENT EVENTS," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
IPO of Atmus
On May 23, 2023, in connection with the Atmus IPO, Cummins issued approximately $350 million of commercial paper with certain lenders. On May 26, 2023, Atmus shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ATMU." The IPO was completed on May 30, 2023, whereby Cummins exchanged 19.5 percent (approximately 16 million shares) of its ownership in Atmus, at $19.50 per share, to retire $299 million of the commercial paper as proceeds from the offering through a non-cash transaction. In exchange for the filtration business, Atmus also transferred to Cummins consideration of $650 million. The commercial paper issued and retired through the IPO proceeds, coupled with the $650 million received, is intended to be used for the retirement of our historical debt, dividends and share repurchases. See NOTE 15, "FORMATION OF ATMUS AND IPO," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
53
Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity
On June 5, 2023, we entered into an amended and restated 364-day credit agreement that allows us to borrow up to $2.0 billion of unsecured funds at any time prior to June 3, 2024. This credit agreement amended and restated the prior $1.5 billion 364-day credit facility that matured on August 16, 2023. In connection with the 364-day credit agreement, effective June 5, 2023, we terminated our $500 million incremental 364-day credit agreement dated August 17, 2022.
We have access to committed credit facilities totaling $4.0 billion, including our $2.0 billion 364-day facility that expires June 3, 2024, and our $2.0 billion five-year facility that expires on August 18, 2026. These revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. We intend to maintain credit facilities at the current or higher aggregate amounts by renewing or replacing these facilities at or before expiration. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at September 30, 2023.
We can issue up to $4.0 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board authorized commercial paper programs. These 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 acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The total combined borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facilities and commercial programs should not exceed $4.0 billion. At September 30, 2023, we had $1.7 billion of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced our available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $2.3 billion.
In September 2023, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $500 million in order to trade a portion of the floating rate into a fixed rate on our term loan, due in 2025. The maturity date of the interest rate swaps is August 1, 2025. We designated the swaps as cash flow hedges. The gains and losses on these derivative instruments are initially recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as each interest payment is accrued.
In 2021, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert our $500 million senior notes, due in 2025, from a fixed rate of 0.75 percent to a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread. We also entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert $765 million of our $850 million senior notes, due in 2030, from a fixed rate of 1.50 percent to a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread. The swaps were designated and are accounted for as fair value hedges. In March 2023, we settled a portion of our 2021 interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $100 million. The $7 million loss on settlement will be amortized over the remaining term of the related debt.
In 2019, we entered into $350 million of interest rate lock agreements, and in 2020 we entered into an additional $150 million of lock agreements to reduce the variability of the cash flows of the interest payments on a total of $500 million of fixed rate debt forecast to be issued in 2023 to replace our senior notes at maturity. In December 2022, we settled certain rate lock agreements with notional amounts totaling $150 million for $49 million. In February 2023, we settled certain rate lock agreements with notional amounts totaling $100 million for $34 million. In August 2023, we settled all remaining rate lock agreements with notional amounts totaling $250 million for $67 million. The $150 million of gains on settlements will remain in other comprehensive income and will be amortized over the term of the anticipated new debt.
On February 15, 2023, certain of our subsidiaries entered into an amendment to the $1.0 billion credit agreement (Credit Agreement), consisting of a $400 million revolving credit facility and a $600 million term loan facility, in anticipation of the separation of our filtration business, which extended the date on which the Credit Agreement terminates from March 30, 2023, to June 30, 2023. On May 26, 2023, Atmus drew down the entire $600 million term loan facility and borrowed $50 million under the revolving credit facility for use as partial consideration for the filtration business. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement mature in September 2027 (with quarterly payments on the term loan beginning in September 2024) and bear interest at varying rates, depending on the type of loan and, in some cases, the rates of designated benchmarks and the applicable borrower’s election. Generally, U.S. dollar-denominated loans bear interest at adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) (which includes a 0.10 percent credit spread adjustment to term SOFR) for the applicable interest period plus a rate ranging from 1.125 percent to 1.75 percent. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and financial and other covenants, including maintaining a net leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0. At September 30, 2023, they had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and $600 million outstanding under the term loan facility.
As a well-known seasoned issuer, we filed an automatic shelf registration of an undetermined amount of debt and equity with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 8, 2022. 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.
54
Supply Chain Financing
We currently have supply chain financing programs with financial intermediaries, which provide certain vendors the option to be paid by financial intermediaries earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. When a vendor utilizes the program and receives an early payment from a financial intermediary, they take a discount on the invoice. We then pay the financial intermediary the face amount of the invoice on the original due date, which generally have 60 to 90 day payment terms. The maximum amount that we could have outstanding under the program was $482 million. We do not reimburse vendors for any costs they incur for participation in the program, their participation is completely voluntary and there are no assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided for the committed payment to the finance provider or intermediary. As a result, all amounts owed to the financial intermediaries are presented as accounts payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts due to the financial intermediaries reflected in accounts payable at September 30, 2023, were $220 million.
Uses of Cash
Dividends
We paid dividends of $683 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. In July 2023, the Board authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of approximately 7 percent from $1.57 per share to $1.68 per share.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $694 million versus $453 million in the comparable period in 2022. We continue to invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions. We plan to spend an estimated $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion in 2023 on capital expenditures with over 60 percent of these expenditures expected to be invested in North America.
Acquisitions
Acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were as follows:

(2) Total purchase consideration included $32 million for the settlement of accounts payable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
See NOTE 16, "ACQUISITIONS," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Current Maturities of Short and Long-Term Debt
We had $1.7 billion of commercial paper outstanding at September 30, 2023, that matures in less than one year. The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt requires significant cash outflows in the fourth quarter of 2023 when our 3.65 percent senior notes are due and in 2025 when our term loan and 0.75 percent senior notes are due. Required annual long-term debt principal payments range from $50 million to $2.0 billion over the next five years (including the remainder of 2023). In 2023, we intend to have a greater emphasis on the repayment of debt to maintain our strong credit ratings. See NOTE 9, "DEBT," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
On October 2, 2023, we repaid our $500 million senior notes, due 2023, using a combination of cash on hand and additional commercial paper borrowings. On October 31, 2023, we repaid $150 million of our term loan, due 2025, using cash on hand.
Pensions
Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 120 percent funded at December 31, 2022. Our U.S. defined benefit plans (qualified and non-qualified), which represented approximately 69 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, were 121 percent funded, and our U.K. defined benefit plans were 119 percent funded at December 31, 2022. 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 2023, the investment gain on our U.S. pension trusts was 2.32 percent, while our U.K. pension trusts' loss was 10.69 percent. To better hedge its liabilities, our U.K. pension plan sold a substantial portion of its private markets assets at a discount at the end of the second quarter, which fully settled in the third quarter and detracted from investment performance for the period. We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2023 of $13 million for our U.S. and U.K. qualified and non-qualified pension plans. These contributions may be made
55
from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants. We expect our 2023 annual net periodic pension cost to be near zero.
Stock Repurchases
In December 2021, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the $2.0 billion repurchase plan authorized in 2019. We did not make any repurchases of common stock in the first nine months of 2023.

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 access to capital markets, our existing cash and marketable securities, operating cash flow and revolving credit facilities provide us with the financial flexibility needed to fund repayment of debt obligations, dividend payments, acquisitions, targeted capital expenditures, common stock repurchases, projected pension obligations, working capital and equity injections for our subsidiaries through 2023 and beyond. We continue to generate significant cash from operations and maintain access to our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper programs 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 2022 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 the Board. Our critical accounting estimates disclosed in the Form 10-K address estimating liabilities for warranty programs, fair value of intangible assets, assessing goodwill impairment, 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 2022 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 2023 other than the critical accounting estimate relating to goodwill impairment to update our impairment sensitivity analysis.
56
Goodwill Impairment
We are required to make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether a goodwill impairment event has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of our reporting units. We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level and our reporting units are the operating segments or the components of operating segments that constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by management.
We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform an annual quantitative goodwill impairment test. We have elected this option on certain reporting units. The following events and circumstances are considered when evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount:
•Macroeconomic conditions, such as a deterioration in general economic conditions, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and/or other developments in equity and credit markets;
•Industry and market considerations, such as a deterioration in the environment in which an entity operates, material loss in market share and significant declines in product pricing;
•Cost factors, such as an increase in raw materials, labor or other costs;
•Overall financial performance, such as negative or declining cash flows or a decline in actual or forecasted revenue;
•Other relevant entity-specific events, such as material changes in management or key personnel and
•Events affecting a reporting unit, such as a change in the composition or carrying amount of its net assets including acquisitions and dispositions.
The examples noted above are not all-inclusive, and we consider other relevant events and circumstances that affect the fair value of a reporting unit in determining whether to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test.
Our goodwill recoverability assessment is based on our annual strategic planning process. This process includes an extensive review of expectations for the long-term growth of our businesses and forecasted future cash flows. In order to determine the valuation of our reporting units, we use either the market approach or the income approach using a discounted cash flow model. Our income approach method uses a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several periods, plus a terminal value at the end of that time horizon, are discounted to their present value using an appropriate rate of return. Our estimates are based upon our historical experience, our current knowledge from our commercial relationships and available external information about future trends.
The discounted cash flow model requires us to make projections of revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, working capital investment and fixed asset additions for the reporting units over a multi-year period. Additionally, management must estimate a weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects a market rate, for each reporting unit for use as a discount rate. The discounted cash flows are compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit and, if less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as a goodwill impairment loss. In addition, we also perform sensitivity analyses to determine how much our forecasts can fluctuate before the fair value of a reporting unit would be lower than its carrying amount. Future changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates that are used in our goodwill impairment testing, including discount rates or future operating results and related cash flow projections, could result in significantly different estimates of the fair values in the future. An increase in discount rates, a reduction in projected cash flows or a combination of the two could lead to a reduction in the estimated fair values, which may result in impairment charges that could materially affect our financial statements in any given year. We perform the goodwill impairment assessment as of the end of our fiscal third quarter.
While none of our reporting units recorded a goodwill impairment in 2023, we have two reporting units with material goodwill balances where the estimated fair value does not significantly exceed the carrying value, both of which are in our Components segment. Our automated transmissions reporting unit (consisting solely of our joint venture with Eaton) has an estimated fair value that exceeds its carrying amount of $1.1 billion by approximately 7 percent. Total goodwill in this reporting unit is $544 million. We valued this reporting unit using an income approach based on its expected future cash flows. The critical assumptions that factored into the valuation are the projected future revenues and gross margins of the business as well as the discount rate used to present value these future cash flows. A 50 basis point increase in the discount rate would result in a 5 percent decline in the fair value of the reporting unit. Our axles and brakes reporting unit, which consists of the legacy business acquired from Meritor in August 2022, has an estimated fair value that exceeds its carrying amount of $4.2 billion by approximately 12 percent. Total goodwill in this reporting unit is $745 million. We valued this reporting unit using an income approach based on future cash flows. The critical assumptions that factored into the valuation are the projected future revenues and gross margins of the business as well as the discount rate used to present value these future cash flows. A 50 basis point increase in the discount rate would result in a 5 percent decline in the fair value of the reporting unit.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION
We are conducting a formal internal review of our emission certification process and compliance with emission standards with respect to our pick-up truck applications and are working with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) to address their questions about these applications. Due to the continuing nature of our formal internal review and on-going discussions with the EPA and CARB, we cannot predict the final results of this formal review and these regulatory processes, nor the extent to which, they likely will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations and cash flows.
We previously announced that we are conducting a formal internal review of our emissions certification process and compliance with emission standards with respect to all of our pick-up truck applications, following conversations with the EPA and CARB regarding certification of our engines for model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks. During conversations with the EPA and CARB about the effectiveness of our pick-up truck applications, the regulators raised concerns that certain aspects of our emissions systems may reduce the effectiveness of our emissions control systems and thereby act as defeat devices. As a result, our internal review focuses, in part, on the regulators’ concerns. We are working closely with the regulators to enhance our emissions systems to improve the effectiveness of all of our pick-up truck applications and to fully address the regulators’ requirements. Based on discussions with the regulators, we have developed a new calibration for the engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks that has been included in all engines shipped since September 2019. During our ongoing discussions, the regulators turned their attention to other model years and other engines, most notably our pick-up truck applications for RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks for model years 2013 through 2018 and Titan trucks for model years 2016 through 2019. Most recently, the regulators have also raised concerns regarding the completeness of our disclosures in our certification applications for RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks for model years 2013 through 2023. We have also been in communication with Environmental and Climate Change Canada regarding similar issues relating to some of these very same platforms. In connection with these and other ongoing discussions with the EPA and CARB, we are developing a new software calibration and will recall model years 2013 through 2018 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks. We accrued $30 million for the RAM recall during the first quarter of 2022, an amount that reflected our current estimate of the cost of that recall. We are also developing a new software calibration and hardware fix and will recall model years 2016 through 2019 Titan trucks. We accrued $29 million for the Titan recall during the third quarter of 2022, an amount that reflected our current estimate of the cost of that recall.
We will continue to work together closely with the relevant regulators to develop and implement recommendations for improvements and seek to reach further resolutions as part of our ongoing commitment to compliance. Based upon our discussions to date with the regulators which are continuing, such resolutions may involve our agreeing to one or more consent decrees and paying civil penalties. Due to the presence of many unknown facts and circumstances, we are not yet able to estimate any further financial impact of these matters. The consequences resulting from our formal review and these regulatory processes likely will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows, however we cannot yet reasonably estimate a loss or range of loss.

(1) Shares repurchased under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan only occur in the event of a participant default, which cannot be predicted, and were excluded from this column. |
In December 2021, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the $2.0 billion repurchase plan authorized in 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we did not make any repurchases of common stock. The dollar value remaining available for future purchases under the 2019 program at September 30, 2023, was $218 million.
Our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. We hold participants’ shares as security for the loans and would, in effect, repurchase shares only if the participant defaulted in repayment of the loan. Shares associated with participants' sales are sold as open-market transactions via a third-party broker.
