  • Second-quarter sales and revenues up $1 billion from a year ago  
  • Profitability across enterprise reflects strong operational performance
  • Delivered strong operating cash flow and increased the quarterly cash dividend
  • Raised full-year outlook for 2017 sales and revenues and profit per share

Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) today announced second-quarter 2017 sales and revenues of $11.3 billion, compared with $10.3 billion in the second quarter of 2016. Second-quarter 2017 profit per share was $1.35, compared with $0.93 per share in the second quarter of 2016. Excluding restructuring costs and a gain on the sale of an equity investment in IronPlanet, second-quarter 2017 adjusted profit per share was $1.49, compared to second-quarter 2016 adjusted profit per share of $1.09.

Caterpillar's financial position continued to strengthen. Machinery, Energy & Transportation (ME&T) operating cash flow was $2.0 billion during the quarter, and ME&T's debt-to-capital ratio improved to 38.6 percent, compared with 41.7 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2017. In June, the company announced a quarterly cash dividend increase and ended the quarter with an enterprise cash balance of $10.2 billion.

"Our team delivered an impressive quarter. As demand increased, we continued to control costs and generated higher profit margins," said Caterpillar CEO Jim Umpleby. "While a number of our end markets remain challenged, construction in China and gas compression in North America were highlights in the quarter. Mining and oil-related activities have come off of recent lows, and we are seeing improving demand for construction in most regions." 

2017 Outlook

As a result of increased demand across many end markets and disciplined cost control, Caterpillar is raising its 2017 outlook. Some risks remain in the outlook, including weakness in the Middle East and Latin America , as well as geopolitical and commodity risk.

In April 2017, Caterpillar provided an outlook range for full-year 2017 sales and revenues of $38 billion to $41 billion with a midpoint of $39.5 billion. The company is raising its full-year 2017 expectations for sales and revenues to a range of $42 billion to $44 billion with a midpoint of $43 billion.

For the full year of 2017, Caterpillar expects profit per share of about $3.50 at the midpoint of the sales and revenues outlook range, or adjusted profit per share of about $5.00. The previous outlook for 2017 profit was about $2.10 per share at the midpoint of the sales and revenues outlook, or adjusted profit per share of about $3.75. The company now expects to incur about $1.2 billion of restructuring costs in 2017. The outlook does not include potential mark-to-market gains or losses related to pension and other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans.

"Given our performance in the first half of the year and current quotation and ordering activity, we are confident in raising our full-year 2017 outlook," continued Umpleby. "We remain focused on serving our customers, delivering strong operational performance and executing our ongoing restructuring activities. During the second half of 2017, we anticipate making targeted investments in initiatives that are important to our future competitiveness, including enhanced digital capabilities and accelerating technology updates to our products. We intend to do this without adding to the structural costs we've worked so hard to streamline. These investments will prepare us to take advantage of the growth opportunities ahead."

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Consolidated Sales and Revenues

Consolidated Sales and Revenues Comparison

Second Quarter 2017 vs. Second Quarter 2016

To access this chart, go to http://www.caterpillar.com/en/investors/quarterly-results.html for the downloadable version of Caterpillar 2Q 2017 earnings.

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Sales and Revenues between the second quarter of 2016 (at left) and the second quarter of 2017 (at right). Items favorably impacting sales and revenues appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting sales and revenues appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar. Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company's board of directors and employees.

Sales and Revenues

Total sales and revenues were $11.331 billion in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $989 million, or 10 percent, compared with $10.342 billion in the second quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume , with the largest increase in Construction Industries mostly due to higher end-user demand for construction equipment. Sales volume for Resource Industries increased due to improved end-user demand for aftermarket parts and the favorable impact of changes in dealer inventories. Energy & Transportation's sales were higher mostly due to increased demand for aftermarket parts for reciprocating engines. Favorable price realization in Construction Industries also contributed to the sales improvement. The unfavorable impact of currency was mostly the result of a weaker euro and British pound. Financial Products' segment revenues were about flat.

Sales increased in Asia/Pacific, North America and Latin America, and were about flat in EAME . Asia/Pacific sales increased 25 percent primarily due to an increase in construction equipment sales in China resulting from increased infrastructure and residential investment. In North America, sales increased 7 percent due to higher demand for aftermarket parts and construction equipment, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of changes in dealer inventories as dealers decreased inventories more in the second quarter of 2017 than in the second quarter of 2016. Sales increased 20 percent in Latin America primarily due to stabilizing economic conditions in several countries in the region that resulted in improved end-user demand from low levels.

Consolidated Operating Profit

Consolidated Operating Profit Comparison

Second Quarter 2017 vs. Second Quarter 2016

To access this chart, go to http://www.caterpillar.com/en/investors/quarterly-results.html for the downloadable version of Caterpillar 2Q 2017 earnings.

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Operating Profit between the second quarter of 2016 (at left) and the second quarter of 2017 (at right). Items favorably impacting operating profit appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting operating profit appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar. Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company's board of directors and employees. The bar entitled Other includes consolidating adjustments and Machinery, Energy & Transportation other operating (income) expenses .

Operating profit for the second quarter of 2017 was $1.251 billion, compared with $785 million in the second quarter of 2016. The increase of $466 million was primarily due to higher sales volume, including a favorable mix of products. Improved price realization and lower variable manufacturing costs were about offset by higher period costs . Price realization was favorable in Construction Industries and about flat in Resource Industries and Energy & Transportation.

Variable manufacturing costs were lower primarily due to the favorable impact from cost absorption, partially offset by higher warranty expense. Cost absorption was favorable as inventory decreased in the second quarter of 2016 and increased in the second quarter of 2017.

Period costs increased primarily due to higher short-term incentive compensation expense, partially offset by the favorable impact of restructuring and cost reduction actions over the past year. These actions primarily impacted depreciation expense and research and development (R&D) expenses.

Restructuring costs of $169 million in the second quarter of 2017 were primarily related to restructuring programs in Resource Industries and Energy & Transportation, compared to $139 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Other Profit/Loss Items

  • Other income/expense in the second quarter of 2017 was income of $29 million, compared with income of $84 million in the second quarter of 2016. The unfavorable change was a result of currency translation and hedging net losses during the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to the euro and British pound. The unfavorable change was partially offset by a pretax gain of $85 million on the sale of Caterpillar's equity investment in IronPlanet.

  • The provision for income taxes in the second quarter reflects an estimated annual tax rate of 32 percent, which excludes the discrete item discussed in the following paragraph, compared to 25 percent for the second quarter of 2016. The increase is primarily due to higher non-U.S. restructuring costs in 2017 that are taxed at relatively lower non-U.S. tax rates, along with other changes in the geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective.

In addition, a tax benefit of $10 million was recorded for the settlement of stock-based compensation awards with tax deductions in excess of cumulative U.S. GAAP compensation expense.

Excluding restructuring costs, gain on sale of equity investment and discrete items, the 2017 estimated annual tax rate is expected to be 29 percent.

Global Workforce

Caterpillar worldwide, full-time employment was about 94,800 at the end of the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of about 5,200 full-time employees from the end of the second quarter of 2016, primarily the result of restructuring programs. The flexible workforce increased by about 3,500, primarily due to higher production volumes. In total, the global workforce decreased by about 1,700.

1 Does not include inter-segment sales of $29 million and $12 million in second quarter 2017 and 2016, respectively.



































Construction Industries' sales were $4.930 billion in the second quarter of 2017, compared with $4.426 billion in the second quarter of 2016. The increase was due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization.

  • Sales volume increased primarily due to higher end-user demand for construction equipment in Asia/Pacific and North America, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of changes in dealer inventories. A more significant decrease in North America dealer inventories in the second quarter of 2017 than in the second quarter of 2016 was partially offset by an increase in dealer inventories in Asia/Pacific in the second quarter of 2017.
  • Although market conditions remain competitive, price realization was favorable due to a particularly weak pricing environment in the second quarter of 2016 and previously announced price increases impacting the second quarter of 2017.

Sales increased in Asia/Pacific and Latin America and were about flat in North America and EAME.

  • Sales in Asia/Pacific were higher as a result of an increase in end-user demand, primarily in China, stemming from increased government support for infrastructure and strong residential investment. In addition, changes in dealer inventories in China favorably impacted sales as dealer inventories increased in the second quarter of 2017 and were about flat in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Sales in Latin America were higher due to an increase in end-user demand and the favorable impact of changes in dealer inventories, which increased in the second quarter of 2017 and were about flat in the second quarter of 2016. Although construction activity remained weak across the region, end-user demand increased from low levels due to stabilizing economic conditions in several countries in the region.
  • In North America, an increase in end-user demand and favorable price realization was mostly offset by an unfavorable impact from changes in dealer inventories. End-user demand was higher primarily due to improved residential and non-residential building construction activity, slightly offset by lower sales for infrastructure construction equipment. The unfavorable impact of changes in dealer inventories resulted from a more significant decrease in dealer inventories in the second quarter of 2017 than in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Sales in EAME were about flat as lower end-user demand and the unfavorable impact of the weaker euro and British pound were mostly offset by favorable price realization. The decline in end-user demand was primarily in Africa/Middle East due to volatile financial and economic conditions, as well as continued tight construction spending in oil-producing countries.

Construction Industries' profit was $901 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared with $550 million in the second quarter of 2016. The increase in profit was primarily due to favorable price realization and higher sales volume, including a favorable mix of products. Period costs were about flat as higher short-term incentive compensation expense was mostly offset by the favorable impact of restructuring and cost reduction actions.

Resource Industries' sales were $1.759 billion in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $302 million, or 21 percent, from the second quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume for aftermarket parts and the favorable impact of changes in dealer inventories. Dealer inventories were about flat in the second quarter of 2017, compared with a decrease in the second quarter of 2016. Dealer deliveries for equipment were about flat. Increases in certain commodity prices over the past year, along with continued commodity consumption, have resulted in increased mining activity, driving the need for maintenance and rebuild activities. The company believes commodity prices need to stabilize at these higher levels to drive stronger activity and longer-term demand for equipment.

Resource Industries' profit was $97 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared with a loss of $163 million in the second quarter of 2016. The favorable change was due to higher sales volume, including a favorable mix of products, lower period costs and the favorable impact of cost absorption. These items were partially offset by higher warranty expense. Period costs were lower primarily due to the favorable impact of restructuring and cost reduction actions, partially offset by an increase in short-term incentive compensation expense. The favorable impact of cost absorption was a result of a decrease in inventory in the second quarter of 2016, compared to an increase in inventory in the second quarter of 2017.

Energy & Transportation's sales were $3.941 billion in the second quarter of 2017, compared with $3.750 billion in the second quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of aftermarket parts for reciprocating engines.

  • Oil and Gas – Sales increased in North America due to higher demand for reciprocating engines used in gas compression as natural gas infrastructure build-out continues and for aftermarket parts as a result of strong rebuild activity in well servicing and gas compression applications. This was partially offset by a decrease in demand for equipment used in production applications in Asia/Pacific.
  • Industrial – Sales were higher in all regions reflecting increased sales for aftermarket parts.
  • Power Generation – Sales were about flat as a slight increase in North America was mostly offset by decreases in other regions.
  • Transportation – Sales decreased in North America as the rail industry continues to have a significant number of idle locomotives. This was partially offset by an increase in sales for rail services as North American rail traffic has increased. Sales declined in marine applications mostly due to lower demand, primarily for offshore vessels.

Energy & Transportation's profit was $700 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared with $602 million in the second quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume and lower variable manufacturing costs, partially offset by higher period costs. Variable manufacturing costs were favorable primarily due to cost absorption and improved material costs. Cost absorption was favorable as inventory increased in the second quarter of 2017 and was about flat in the second quarter of 2016. The increase in period costs was primarily due to higher short-term incentive compensation expense.

Financial Products' revenues were $776 million in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $17 million, or 2 percent, from the second quarter of 2016. The increase was due to a favorable impact from intercompany lending activity in North America, higher average financing rates in North America and a favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment in North America. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower average earning assets in North America and lower average financing rates in Asia/Pacific.

Financial Products' profit was $191 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared with $202 million in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of gains on sales of securities at Insurance Services, an increase in SG&A expenses due to higher short-term incentive compensation expense and an unfavorable impact from lower average earning assets. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by a decrease in the provision for credit losses at Cat Financial, increased intercompany lending activity and a favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment.

At the end of the second quarter of 2017, past dues at Cat Financial were 2.71 percent, compared with 2.93 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2016. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $26 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared with $33 million for the second quarter of 2016.

As of June 30, 2017, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled $338 million, or 1.25 percent of finance receivables, compared with $346 million, or 1.25 percent of finance receivables as of June 30, 2016. The allowance for credit losses at year-end 2016 was $343 million, or 1.29 percent of finance receivables.

Corporate Items and Eliminations

Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $531 million in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $203 million from the second quarter of 2016. Corporate items and eliminations include: restructuring costs; corporate-level expenses; timing differences, as some expenses are reported in segment profit on a cash basis; retirement benefit costs other than service cost; currency differences for ME&T, as segment profit is reported using annual fixed exchange rates; cost of sales methodology differences as segments use a current cost methodology; and inter-segment eliminations.

The increase in expense from the second quarter of 2016 was primarily due to timing differences, an increase in restructuring costs, higher stock-based compensation expense and other methodology differences.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1:

Can you comment on second-quarter restructuring costs and your 2017 outlook for restructuring costs?



A: 

Restructuring costs of $169 million in the second quarter of 2017 were primarily related to programs in Resource Industries and Energy & Transportation. Second-quarter restructuring costs included a LIFO Inventory Decrement Benefit of $33 million related to the closure of the Gosselies, Belgium, facility.




We have incurred $921 million of restructuring costs through the first six months of 2017 and expect to incur about $1.2 billion for the full-year 2017, slightly lower than the previous outlook for 2017 restructuring costs of $1.25 billion. We expect costs for the remainder of 2017 to be primarily for previously announced restructuring actions.



Q2: 

Can you discuss changes in dealer inventories during the second quarter of 2017?



A: 

Changes in dealer inventories had little impact on sales from the second quarter of 2016 to the second quarter of 2017. Dealer machine and engine inventories decreased about $300 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to a decrease of about $400 million in the second quarter of 2016. During the first six months of 2017 and 2016, dealer machine and engine inventories decreased about $100 million.



Q3: 

Can you discuss changes to your order backlog by segment?



A: 

At the end of the second quarter of 2017, the order backlog was about $14.8 billion, about flat with the first quarter of 2017. Resource Industries' order backlog increased about $300 million, Construction Industries' decreased about $300 million and Energy & Transportation's was about flat. It is not uncommon for the construction order backlog to decline during the second-quarter selling season.




Compared with the second quarter of 2016, the order backlog increased about $3.0 billion. The increase was across all segments, most significantly in Construction Industries and Resource Industries.



Q4: 

Can you comment on expense related to your 2017 short-term incentive compensation plans?



A: 

Short-term incentive compensation expense is directly related to financial and operational performance, measured against targets set annually. Second-quarter 2017 expense was about $415 million. Second-quarter 2016 expense was about $85 million.




For 2017, our current outlook includes short-term incentive compensation expense of about $1.3 billion. Our 2017 outlook, issued in January, assumed short-term incentive compensation expense of about $750 million.  Full-year 2016 short-term incentive compensation expense was about $250 million, significantly below targeted levels.



Q5: 

Can you comment on your balance sheet and cash priorities?



A: 

The ME&T debt-to-capital ratio was 38.6 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2017, compared with 41.7 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2017. Our cash and liquidity positions remain strong with an enterprise cash balance of $10.232 billion as of June 30, 2017. ME&T operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2017 was $2.029 billion, compared with $1.168 billion in the second quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher profit adjusted for non-cash charges, including short-term incentive compensation expense, in the second quarter of 2017 versus the second quarter of 2016.




Although our short-term priorities for the use of cash may vary from time to time as business needs and conditions dictate, our long-term cash deployment strategy remains unchanged: maintain a strong financial position in support of our credit rating; provide capital to support growth; appropriately fund employee benefit plans; pay dividends; and repurchase common stock.

Product mix represents the net operating profit impact of changes in the relative weighting of Machinery, Energy & Transportation sales with respect to total sales. The impact of sales volume on segment profit includes intersegment sales.

21.

Variable Manufacturing Costs – Represents volume-adjusted costs excluding the impact of currency and restructuring costs (see definition above). Variable manufacturing costs are defined as having a direct relationship with the volume of production. This includes material costs, direct labor and other costs that vary directly with production volume such as freight, power to operate machines and supplies that are consumed in the manufacturing process.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The non-GAAP financial measures Caterpillar uses have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Management does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or substituted for the related GAAP measure.         

Adjusted Profit per Share

Caterpillar believes it is important to separately quantify the profit impact of two special items in order for the company's results to be meaningful to readers. These items consist of restructuring costs, which are incurred in the current year to generate longer-term benefits, and a gain on sale of an equity investment. Caterpillar does not consider these items indicative of earnings from ongoing business activities and believes the non-GAAP measure will provide useful perspective on underlying business results and trends, and a means to assess the company's period-over-period results.

Reconciliations of adjusted profit per share to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, diluted profit per share, are as follows:
