For Immediate Release
Oct. 20, 2004
Cummins reports record sales in third quarter
Continued strong performance leads to an increase in
full-year earnings guidance
COLUMBUS, IND. - Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) today reported record sales for the second consecutive quarter as third-quarter profits substantially exceeded the Company's earlier forecasts.
Sales were strong across all business segments and in most markets, led by North American heavy duty truck engine sales and record revenues in the Company's Power Generation segment.
Cummins reported third-quarter revenues of $2.19 billion, a 34 percent increase from $1.63 billion in the same quarter in 2003. The Company's previous quarterly sales record was $2.12 billion in the second quarter of 2004.
Net earnings for the quarter were $116 million, or $2.40 per diluted share -above the Company's previous guidance of $1.30 - $1.40 a share. Cummins earned $24 million, or 60 cents per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2003.
The Company's third-quarter earnings include tax benefits of $37 million, or 74 cents a share, that reflect the impact of the Company's improved earnings performance and outlook. Third quarter results also include a one-time pre-tax charge of $9 million, or 15 cents a share, related to inventory valuation.
Earnings before interest and taxes were $146 million, or 6.7 percent of sales, compared to $61 million, or 3.7 percent last year - and within our targeted EBIT goal of 6 to 9 percent.
"Demand for our products continues to be extremely strong," said Cummins Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Tim Solso. "Our sales were stronger than expected in most markets, led by the North American heavy duty truck engine market, where our sales more than doubled from the same time last year and where we continue to gain market share."
Through August, Cummins share of the North American heavy duty truck engine market was 27 percent, a 5.5 percentage point increase from the beginning of the year.
As a result of continued performance improvement, Cummins has today increased its earnings guidance for the full year. The Company now expects to earn between $7.10 and $7.20 a share in 2004, up from the previous guidance of $5.55 - $5.75 a share. The updated guidance includes $1.04 a share related to tax matters - 74 cents a share for the third quarter and 30 cents a share in the fourth quarter. The Company expects to earn between $2.15 and $2.25 a share in the fourth quarter.
The rapid ramp-up in demand for our products has created some inefficiencies and internal capacity constraints, which the Company is addressing and believes will have less of an impact in future periods. The Company also continues to face challenges caused by rising commodities prices, especially steel, and supply chain constraints, which are expected to continue.
"We continue to participate in the strong market recovery and benefit from our geographic diversification," Solso said. "I can't remember a time in my 33-year career with Cummins where all our markets were this strong, and when we were this well-positioned to turn that market strength into earnings and value for our shareholders."
Engine Segment
Engine business sales rose 53
percent from third quarter 2003 to $1.44 billion, led by sharply higher sales
in North America. Sales volumes in the North American heavy duty truck market
rose 119 percent from the same period in 2003,
while medium-duty truck engine shipments rose 74
percent. Shipments of Dodge Ram engines rose 11 percent, building on record
performance in that market this year.
Overall, engine shipments rose 30 percent from the third quarter 2003 to more than 106,000 units. The engine business reported Segment EBIT of $96 million, compared to $36 million in the third quarter of 2003.
Power Generation Segment
The Company's Power Generation
business posted Segment EBIT of $17 million on sales of $502 million -- the
unit's fourth straight quarterly profit. For the same period last year, Power
Generation broke even on sales of $363 million.
The Newage alternator division, excluding newly consolidated entities, saw sales increase 51 percent over third quarter 2003. Commercial demand was especially strong in the Middle East and China, where we believe the market will continue to be strong at least through the end of 2005.
The segment's consumer business increased 17 percent, with sales for recreational vehicles posting a 21 percent gain and where Cummins maintains the leading market position.
Filtration and Other Segment
The Company's Filtration and Other
business reported sales of $369 million in the third quarter, up 45 percent
from last year. A broad market recovery has led to increased demand across many
geographic regions, notably in North America.
The segment's Holset turbocharger division reported robust demand, led by the North American heavy duty truck market. Holset sales in China also continue to improve this year, following a slowdown in 2003.
For the quarter, Filtration and Other reported Segment EBIT of $21 million, compared to $16 million during the third quarter of 2003.
International Distributor
Segment
Each of our Company-owned
distributors around the world enjoyed sales gains compared to the third quarter
of 2003, with total sales rising 24 percent to $215 million. Segment EBIT for
this business was $12 million. Business was strong across product lines and
geographies, particularly in Europe and Asia.
Cash Flow
Strong profits resulted in
positive cash flow for the Company in the third quarter, and we are confident
that we will continue to be able to pay down our debt with cash flow from
operations.
Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Information
EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure used in this release.
EBIT is defined and reconciled to what management believes to be the most
comparable GAAP measure in a schedule attached to this release. Cummins
presents this information as it believes it is useful to understanding the
Company's operating performance, and because EBIT is a measure used internally
to assess the performance of the operating units.
Webcast Information
Cummins management will host a teleconference to discuss these results at 10 a.m. CDT, 11 a.m. EDT. This teleconference will be webcast and available on the Investor Relations section of the Cummins website at www.cummins.com.

(1) Prior to January 1, 2004, intersegment transactions between the Engine segment and the Power Generation segment and between the Filtration and Other segment and the Engine segment were reported at cost and no sale reported by the transferor segment. Beginning January 1, 2004, this inter-segment activity is reflected in the sales and unit shipments of the transferor segments at a market based transfer price discounted for certain items; further, certain intersegment cost allocations to the transferor segments have been eliminated. In addition, certain engines made by the Engine segment and sold to International Distributors through Power Generation were previously recorded as a sale to Power Generation; however under the new methodology Power Generation records a sales commission. We believe the methodology change allows our segment management to focus on those pricing decisions and cost structuring actions that are within their control. As a result of the change in methodology in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2004, sales in the Engine segment increased $140 million and $357 million, respectively, sales in the Power Generation segment decreased $14 million and $31 million, respectively, sales in the Filtration and Other segment increased $53 million and $153 million, respectively and eliminations increased $179 million and $479 million, respectively. The impact on segment EBIT was immaterial for each segment in both periods.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Unaudited)
Earnings before interest, taxes, minority interests and preferred dividends (EBIT)
We define EBIT as earnings before interest, taxes, minority interest, preferred dividends and the cumulative effect of any accounting changes. We use EBIT to assess and measure the performance of our operating segments and also as a component in measuring our variable compensation programs. Below is a reconciliation of EBIT, a non-GAAP financial measure, to our consolidated net earnings, for each of the applicable periods:

* Interest expense between accounting periods is not comparable due to the issuance of a new accounting standard. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150 which required that dividends on our Convertible Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust be classified as interest expense after July 1, 2003. This reclassification results in interest expense not being comparable for the periods presented.
* We believe EBIT is a useful measure of our operating performance for the periods presented as it illustrates our operating performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure or income taxes. This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and may not be consistent with measures used by other companies. It should be considered supplemental data.
