Second-quarter sales and revenues decreased 31%; profit per share declined 70%
Strong balance sheet; $8.8 billion of enterprise cash
DEERFIELD, Ill. - Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) today announced second-quarter 2020 sales and
revenues of $10.0 billion, a 31% decrease compared with $14.4 billion in the second quarter of
2019. The decline was due to lower sales volume driven by lower end-user demand and the impact
from changes in dealer inventories. Dealers decreased machine and engine inventories about $1.4
billion during the second quarter of 2020, compared with an increase of about $500 million during
the second quarter of 2019.
Second-quarter 2020 profit per share was $0.84, compared with $2.83 profit per share in the second
quarter of 2019. Profit per share in the second quarter of 2020 included pre-tax remeasurement
losses of $122 million, or $0.19 per share, resulting from the settlements of pension obligations.
Operating profit margin was 7.8% for the second quarter of 2020, compared with 15.3% for the
second quarter of 2019.
For the first half of 2020, enterprise operating cash flow was $2.5 billion. Caterpillar ended the
second quarter with $8.8 billion of enterprise cash and $18.5 billion of available liquidity
sources. In July, Cat Financial issued $1.5 billion of new three-year and 18-month medium-term
notes to supplement its liquidity position.
Response to COVID-19 and Global Business Conditions
"I am proud of the global team's continued focus on safety while executing our strategy and
serving our customers," said Caterpillar Chairman and CEO Jim Umpleby. "In the second quarter, our
employees and dealers remained dedicated to providing the essential products and services the
world needs under very challenging conditions."

Operational Status
Caterpillar continues to implement safeguards in its facilities to protect team members, including
increased frequency of cleaning and disinfecting, social distancing practices and other measures
consistent with specific regulatory requirements and guidance from health authorities.
As of mid-July 2020, globally and across Caterpillar's three primary segments, nearly all of the
company's primary production facilities continued to operate. This continues to fluctuate as
conditions warrant, including the pace of economic recovery and the potential for additional
COVID-related temporary shutdowns.
The company has continued to take actions to reduce costs and prioritize its spending to provide
for investment in services and expanded offerings, key elements of its strategy for profitable
growth, which was introduced in 2017.
Outlook
Caterpillar's financial results for the remainder of 2020 will be impacted by continued global
economic uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, Caterpillar withdrew its earnings
guidance on March 26 and is not providing a financial outlook for 2020 at this time.
"We are well positioned for these challenging times because of the successful execution of our
strategy," said Umpleby. "We are focused on employee safety and maintaining a competitive and
flexible cost structure while continuing to invest in services and expanded offerings to better
serve our customers. We will adjust production as conditions warrant and are prepared to respond
quickly to any positive or negative changes in customer demand."

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Consolidated Sales and Revenues
The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated sales and revenues
between the second quarter of 2019 (at left) and the second quarter of 2020 (at right).
Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company's
Board of Directors and employees.
Total sales and revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $9.997 billion, a decrease of $4.435
billion, or 31%, compared with $14.432 billion in the second quarter of 2019. The decline was due
to lower sales volume driven by lower end-user demand and the impact from changes in dealer
inventories. Dealers decreased machine and engine inventories about $1.4 billion during the second
quarter of 2020, compared with an increase of about $500 million during the second quarter of
2019. The changes in dealer inventories came primarily in Construction Industries and Resource
Industries.
Unfavorable price realization also contributed to the sales decline due to the geographic mix of
sales and competitive market conditions in China. Sales were lower across all regions and in the
three primary segments.

Consolidated Operating Profit
The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated operating profit
between the second quarter of 2019 (at left) and the second quarter of 2020 (at right).
Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company's
Board of Directors and employees. The bar titled Other includes consolidating adjustments and
Machinery, Energy & Transportation's other operating (income) expenses.
Operating profit for the second quarter of 2020 was $784 million, a decrease of $1.429 billion, or
65%, compared with $2.213 billion in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was due to lower
sales volume and unfavorable price realization, partially offset by favorable manufacturing costs
and lower selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) expenses.
Favorable manufacturing costs were mostly driven by lower period manufacturing costs. Both period
manufacturing costs and SG&A/R&D expenses benefited from reduced short-term incentive compensation
expense and other cost reductions related to lower sales volumes.

Other Profit/Loss and Tax Items
? Other income (expense) in the second quarter of 2020 was income of $29 million, compared with
income of $68 million in the second quarter of 2019. The change was primarily due to the
unfavorable impact of pension and other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans, including $122
million of remeasurement losses resulting from the settlements of pension obligations, partially
offset by favorable impacts from foreign currency exchange gains (losses), primarily due to the
Australian dollar.
? The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2020 reflected an estimated annual
tax rate of 31%, excluding a $21 million discrete tax benefit related to the $122 million of
remeasurement losses resulting from the settlements of pension obligations. The tax rate was 26%
for the second quarter of 2019. The increase in the estimated annual tax rate was primarily
related to changes in the expected geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective for 2020,
including the impact of U.S. tax on non-U.S. earnings as a result of U.S. tax reform.

Construction Industries' total sales were $4.048 billion in the second quarter of 2020, a decrease
of $2.419 billion, or 37%, compared with $6.467 billion in the second quarter of 2019. The
decrease was due to lower sales volume, driven by lower end-user demand and the impact from
changes in dealer inventories. In all regions, dealers decreased inventories during the second
quarter of 2020, compared with an increase during the second quarter of 2019. Unfavorable price
realization also contributed to the sales decline due to the geographic mix of sales and
competitive market conditions in China.
In North America, sales decreased mostly due to lower sales volume driven by lower end-user demand
and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. The lower end-user demand was driven primarily
by pipeline and road construction.
Sales declined in Latin America primarily due to lower end-user demand across the region, the
impact from changes in dealer inventories and unfavorable currency impacts from a weaker Brazilian
real.
In EAME, sales decreased mostly because of lower sales volume across the region, driven by lower
end-user demand and the impact from changes in dealer inventories.
Sales declined in Asia/Pacific primarily due to unfavorable price realization and currency impacts
from a weaker Chinese yuan. In China, sales were about flat as higher end-user demand was mostly
offset by the impact of changes in dealer inventories and unfavorable price realization.
Construction Industries' profit was $518 million in the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of $729
million, or 58%, compared with $1.247 billion in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was
mainly due to lower sales volume and unfavorable price realization, partially offset by favorable
manufacturing costs and lower SG&A/R&D expenses. Favorable manufacturing costs were primarily
attributed to lower period manufacturing costs. Both period manufacturing costs and SG&A/R&D
expenses benefited from reduced short-term incentive compensation expense and other cost
reductions related to lower sales volumes.

Resource Industries' total sales were $1.826 billion in the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of
$993 million, or 35%, compared with $2.819 billion in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was
due to lower sales volume, driven by changes in dealer inventories and lower end-user demand.
Dealers decreased inventories during the second quarter of 2020, compared with an increase during
the second quarter of 2019. Lower end-user demand was primarily driven by equipment supporting
non-residential construction and quarry and aggregates. Mining equipment end-user demand was down
in the quarter, though to a lesser extent. The company's mining customers faced production
disruptions impacting machine utilization and aftermarket parts demand.
Resource Industries' profit was $152 million in the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of $329
million, or 68%, compared with $481 million in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was mainly
because of lower sales volume, partially offset by favorable manufacturing costs. Favorable
manufacturing costs were mostly due to lower period manufacturing costs driven by lower short-term
incentive compensation expense, other cost-reduction actions implemented in response to lower
sales volumes and the benefits of prior restructuring programs.
