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, electric power generation systems, batteries, electrified power
systems, hydrogen generation and fuel cell products. We sell our products to
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, dealers and other
customers worldwide. We have long-standing relationships with many of the
leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc, Navistar
International Corporation, Daimler Trucks North America and Fiat Chrysler
Automobiles (Chrysler). We serve our customers through a network of
approximately 600 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor
locations and over 7,600 Cummins certified dealer locations in more than 190
countries and territories.
Our reportable operating segments consist of Engine, Distribution, Components,
Power Systems and New Power. This reporting structure is organized according to
the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces
engines (15 liters and smaller) and associated parts for sale to customers in
on-highway and various off-highway markets. Our engines are used in trucks of
all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial
applications, including construction, agriculture, power generation systems and
other off-highway applications. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned
and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator
sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on
our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the
world. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems,
turbochargers, electronics, fuel systems and automated transmissions. The Power
Systems segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and
sells engines (16 liters and larger) for industrial applications (including
mining, oil and gas, marine and rail), standby and prime power generator sets,
alternators and other power components. The New Power segment designs,
manufactures, sells and supports electrified power systems ranging from fully
electric to hybrid along with innovative components and subsystems, including
battery, fuel cell and hydrogen production technologies. 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 and stoppages. Economic downturns in markets we
serve generally result in reduced sales of our products and can result in price
reductions in certain products and/or markets. As a worldwide business, our
operations are also affected by currency, political, economic, 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 high levels of these risks such as China, Brazil, India,
Mexico, Russia and countries in the Middle East and Africa. At the same time,
our geographic diversity and broad product and service offerings have helped
limit the impact from a drop in demand in any one industry or customer or the
economy of any single country on our consolidated results.

COVID-19 Update

During the first quarter of 2020, the outbreak of the coronavirus disease of
2019 (COVID-19) spread throughout the world and became a global pandemic. The
pandemic triggered a significant downturn in our markets globally and these
challenging market conditions could continue for an extended period of time. In
an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, maintain the well-being of our
employees and stakeholders, match the reduced demand from our customers and in
accordance with governmental requirements, we closed or partially shut down
certain office, manufacturing and distribution facilities around the world.
These closures expanded and continued into April 2020. While the global market
downturn, closures and limitations on movement are expected to be temporary, the
duration of the production and supply chain disruptions, and related financial
impacts, cannot be estimated at this time. Should the manufacturing and
distribution closures continue for an extended period of time or worsen, the
impact on our production and supply chain could have a material adverse effect
on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

First Quarter 2020



Our first quarter results were impacted by COVID-19, which caused manufacturing
and supplier plant closures in China in early 2020 and other targeted shut-downs
beginning in late March 2020 in response to customer plant closures and
government actions to slow the spread of the virus. Plants closed in China
during the first quarter were reopened in late March 2020; however, additional
plants and distribution locations around the world were shut down or working at
reduced capacities early in the second quarter. Although these actions did not
have a material effect on our results of operations in the first quarter, we
expect them to have a significant impact on our second quarter results as well
as the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows throughout the
remainder of 2020, if the decline in customer demand, government action or our
related shut-downs continue for an extended period of time or worsen.
Worldwide revenues decreased 17 percent in the three months ended March 29,
2020, compared to the same period in 2019, as we experienced lower demand in all
major operating segments and almost all geographic regions of the world due to
the anticipated down cycle in almost all of our related markets and the impacts
of COVID-19. Net sales in the U.S. and Canada declined 16 percent primarily due
to decreased demand in the heavy-duty and medium-duty truck markets (which
negatively impacted our emission solutions, automated transmissions and turbo
technologies businesses), reduced sales in all of our distribution product lines
and lower off-highway demand (primarily construction and oil and gas markets).
International demand (excludes the U.S. and Canada) declined by 17 percent, with
lower sales in almost all geographic regions. The decrease in international
sales was principally due to lower off-highway demand (mainly international
mining markets and construction markets in Western Europe and Asia Pacific),
decreased demand in our emission solutions and our turbo technologies
businesses, reduced demand in most of our distribution product lines and
unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 2 percent of international sales
(primarily the Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Euro and Australian dollar).

Net income attributable to Cummins was $511 million, or $3.41 per diluted share,
on sales of $5.0 billion for the three months ended March 29, 2020, versus the
comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins of $663 million,
or $4.20 per diluted share, on sales of $6.0 billion. The decreases in net
income and earnings per diluted share were driven by lower net sales, decreased
gross margin, a smaller gain in fair value of corporate owned life insurance and
unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily the Brazilian real and
Australian dollar), partially offset by restructuring actions resulting in lower
compensation expenses and favorable adjustments related to India Tax Law Changes
in March 2020. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower volumes,
partially offset by restructuring actions resulting in lower compensation
expenses, lower material costs and decreased warranty expenses. The increase in
gross margin as a percentage of sales was principally due to decreased warranty
costs and lower variable compensation expenses, partially offset by the impact
of lower sales. Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended
March 29, 2020, benefited $0.03 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding
due to the stock repurchase program.
We generated $379 million of cash from operations for the three months ended
March 29, 2020, compared to $412 million for the comparable period in
2019. Refer to the section titled "Cash Flows" in the "LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES" section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.
In the first three months of 2020, we purchased $550 million, or 3.5 million
shares of common stock.
Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at
March 29, 2020, was 29.5 percent, compared to 21.9 percent at December 31, 2019.
The increase was primarily due to higher outstanding commercial paper of $957
million since December 31, 2019. At March 29, 2020, we had $2.0 billion in cash
and marketable securities on hand and access to our $3.5 billion credit
facilities, if necessary, to meet currently anticipated working capital,
investment and funding needs.
In the first three months of 2020, the investment loss on our U.S. pension trust
was 7.3 percent while our U.K. pension trust gain was 2.7 percent. Investment
performance in both trusts was negatively affected as a result of COVID-19's
impact on capital markets. We anticipate making additional defined benefit
pension contributions during the remainder of 2020 of $35 million for our U.S.
and U.K. pension plans. Our 2020 annual net periodic pension cost is $102
million.

Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased by $993 million
versus the comparable period in 2019. The primary drivers were as follows:
•Engine segment sales decreased 19 percent due to lower volumes in the North
American heavy-duty and medium-duty truck markets and lower demand in global
construction markets, especially in North America, Western Europe and Asia
Pacific.
•Components segment sales decreased 19 percent, largely due to lower demand in
North America and Western Europe.
•Power Systems sales decreased 18 percent primarily due to lower demand in
international mining markets and power generation markets in North America and
India.
•Distribution segment sales decreased 9 percent principally due to lower demand
in North America, especially in the engine and parts product lines.
•Unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations of 1 percent of total sales,
primarily in the Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Euro and Australian dollar.

Sales to international markets (excluding the U.S. and Canada), based on
location of customers, for the three months ended March 29, 2020, were 38
percent of total net sales compared with 39 percent of total net sales for the
comparable period in 2019. A more detailed discussion of sales by segment is
presented in the "OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS" section.
Cost of Sales
The types of expenses included in cost of sales are the following: parts and
material consumption, including direct and indirect materials; salaries, wages
and benefits; depreciation on production equipment and facilities and
amortization of technology intangibles; estimated costs of warranty programs and
campaigns; production utilities; production-related purchasing; warehousing,
including receiving and inspection; engineering support costs; repairs and
maintenance; production and warehousing facility property insurance; rent for
production facilities and other production overhead.
Gross Margin
Gross margin decreased $238 million for the three months ended March 29, 2020
and increased 0.3 points as a percentage of sales, versus the comparable period
in 2019. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower volumes,
partially offset by restructuring actions resulting in lower compensation
expenses, lower material costs and decreased warranty expenses. The increase in
gross margin as a percentage of sales was principally due to decreased warranty
costs and lower variable compensation expenses, partially offset by the impact
of lower sales.
The provision for base warranties issued as a percent of sales for the three
months ended March 29, 2020, was 1.9 percent compared to 2.1 percent for the
comparable period in 2019. A detailed discussion of gross margin by segment is
presented in the "OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS" section.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $47 million for the three
months ended March 29, 2020, versus the comparable period in 2019, primarily due
to restructuring actions resulting in lower compensation expenses. Overall,
selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales,
increased to 10.9 percent in the three months ended March 29, 2020, from 9.9
percent in the comparable period in 2019. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was primarily due to sales
declining faster than selling, general and administrative expenses decreased,
partially offset by lower compensation expenses.
Research, Development and Engineering Expenses
Research, development and engineering expenses increased $1 million for the
three months ended March 29, 2020, versus the comparable period in 2019.
Overall, research, development and engineering expenses as a percentage of sales
increased to 4.7 percent in the three months ended March 29, 2020, from 3.9
percent in the comparable period in 2019. Research, development and engineering
expenses increased as we continued to invest in our products and technologies
despite the decline in sales. Research activities continue to focus on
development of new products to meet future emission standards around the world,
improvements in fuel economy performance of diesel and natural gas-powered
engines and related components as well as development activities around fully
electric, hybrid and hydrogen powertrain solutions.
Equity, Royalty and Interest Income from Investees
Equity, royalty and interest income from investees increased $37 million for the
three months ended March 29, 2020, versus the comparable period in 2019,
primarily due to a $37 million adjustment as the result of tax changes within
India's 2020-2021 Union Budget of India (India Tax Law Changes) passed in March
2020 and $18 million of technology fee revenue recorded in the first quarter of
2020, partially offset by lower equity earnings in China as the result of
COVID-19. See NOTE 6, "INCOME TAXES" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information on India Tax Law Changes.

Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2020, was 19.4
percent. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was
20.8 percent and contained immaterial discrete items.
The three months ended March 29, 2020, contained $18 million of favorable net
discrete tax items, primarily due to tax changes within India's 2020-2021 Union
Budget of India (India Tax Law Change) passed in March of 2020. The India Tax
Law Change eliminated the dividend distribution tax and replaced it with a lower
rate withholding tax as the burden shifted from the dividend payor to the
dividend recipient for a net favorable income statement impact of $35 million,
or $0.23 per share. See NOTE 6, "INCOME TAXES" to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information on India Tax Law Changes.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to
non-Cummins ownership interests in our consolidated entities. Noncontrolling
interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the three months ended
March 29, 2020, increased $11 million, versus the comparable period in 2019,
primarily due to a $19 million unfavorable adjustment as the result of India Tax
Law Changes passed in March 2020. See NOTE 6, "INCOME TAXES" to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on India Tax Law
Changes.

Net income and diluted earnings per common share attributable to Cummins Inc.
for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased $152 million and $0.79 per
diluted share versus the comparable period in 2019, primarily due to lower net
sales, decreased gross margin, a smaller gain in fair value of corporate owned
life insurance and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily the
Brazilian real and Australian dollar), partially offset by restructuring actions
resulting in lower compensation expenses and favorable adjustments related to
India Tax Law Changes in March 2020. Diluted earnings per common share for the
three months ended March 29, 2020, benefited $0.03 from fewer weighted-average

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS
Our reportable operating segments consist of the Engine, Distribution,
Components, Power Systems and New Power segments. This reporting structure is
organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. We use
segment EBITDA as a primary 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 15, "OPERATING SEGMENTS," to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Our first quarter results were impacted by COVID-19, which caused manufacturing
and supplier plant closures in China in early 2020 and other targeted shut-downs
beginning in late March 2020 in response to customer plant closures and
government actions to slow the spread of the virus. Plants closed in China
during the first quarter were reopened in late March 2020; however, additional
plants and distribution locations around the world were shut down or working at
reduced capacities early in the second quarter. Although these actions did not
have a material effect on our results of operations in the first quarter, we
expect them to have a significant impact on our second quarter results as well
as the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows throughout the
remainder of 2020, if the decline in customer demand, government action or our
related shut-downs continue for an extended period of time or worsen.
Following is a discussion of results for each of our operating segments.

Sales
Engine segment sales for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased $495
million versus the comparable period in 2019. The following were the primary
drivers by market:
•Heavy-duty truck sales decreased $229 million principally due to lower volumes
in the North American heavy-duty truck market with lower shipments of 36
percent.
•Off-highway sales decreased $134 million primarily due to lower demand in
global construction markets, especially in North America, Western Europe and
Asia Pacific.
•Medium-duty truck and bus sales decreased $103 million mainly due to lower
demand in North American and Brazilian medium-duty truck markets.
Segment EBITDA
Engine segment EBITDA for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased $73
million versus the comparable period in 2019, primarily due to lower gross
margin, partially offset by increased equity, royalty and interest income from
investees and lower selling, general and administrative expenses. The decrease
in gross margin was mainly due to lower volumes, partially offset by lower
compensation expenses. The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses was primarily due to restructuring actions resulting in lower
compensation expenses, partially offset by higher consulting expenses. The
increase in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was due to higher
earnings at Tata Cummins Ltd. largely due to an $18 million adjustment related
to India Tax Law Changes passed in March 2020 and $18 million of technology fee
revenue recorded in the first quarter of 2020, partially offset by lower
earnings at Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co. See NOTE 6, "INCOME TAXES" to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on India
Tax Law Changes.

Sales
Distribution segment sales for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased
$187 million versus the comparable period in 2019. The following were the
primary drivers by region:
•North American sales decreased $153 million due to decreased demand in all
product lines, especially engine sales in oil and gas markets and parts.
•Unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, principally in the Australian
dollar, Euro, Brazilian real and Chinese renminbi.
Segment EBITDA
Distribution segment EBITDA for the three months ended March 29, 2020, decreased
$13 million versus the comparable period in 2019, primarily due to lower gross
margin and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations in emerging markets
(especially Africa), partially offset by lower selling, general and
administrative expenses and higher equity, royalty and interest income from
investees. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to lower volume,
partially offset by lower compensation expenses. The decrease in selling,
general and administrative expenses was due to restructuring actions resulting
in lower compensation expenses and lower travel expenses, partially offset by
higher consulting expenses. The increase in equity, royalty and interest income
from investees was largely due to higher earnings at Valvoline Cummins Ltd., due
to a $5 million adjustment related to India Tax Law Changes passed in March
2020, and Komatsu Cummins Chile, Ltda. See NOTE 6, "INCOME TAXES" to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on India
Tax Law Changes.

$46 million versus the comparable period in 2019, mainly due to lower gross
margin, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses,
increased equity, royalty and interest income from investees and decreased
research, development and engineering expenses. The decrease in gross margin was
mainly due to lower volumes, partially offset by restructuring actions resulting
in lower compensation expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased due to restructuring actions resulting in lower compensation expenses
and decreased consulting expenses. The decrease in research, development and
engineering expenses was principally due to lower compensation expenses. The
increase in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was primarily due
to higher earnings at Fleetguard Filtration Systems India Pvt. due to a $14
million adjustment related to India Tax Law Changes passed in March 2020. See
NOTE 6, "INCOME TAXES" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information on India Tax Law Changes.
