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, electric power generation systems, batteries, electrified power systems, hydrogen production 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 network of over 500 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and over 9,000 Cummins certified dealer locations with service to 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 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, 2020. Our interim period financial results for the three 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.

Reporting Period

Our reporting period usually ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period. The first quarters of 2021 and 2020 ended on April 4 and March 29, respectively. Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

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: 

	Three months ended
	April 4, 2021	March 29, 2020
Options excluded	2,780	1,234,188

NOTE 2. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Long-term Contracts

The majority of our contracts are for a period of less than one year. We have certain long-term maintenance agreements, construction contracts 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 April 4, 2021, was $847 million. We expect to recognize the related revenue of $152 million over the next 12 months and $695 million over periods up to 10 years. See Note 9, "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.

Deferred and Unbilled Revenue

The following is a summary of our unbilled and deferred revenue and related activity:

In millions	April 4, 2021		December 31, 2020
Unbilled revenue	$	153	$	114
Deferred revenue, primarily extended warranty	1,601		1,531

We recognized revenue of $154 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, compared with $112 million for the comparable period in 2020, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each year. We did not record any impairment losses on our unbilled revenues during the three months ended April 4, 2021 or March 29, 2020.

(1) Unrealized gains and losses for debt securities are recorded in other comprehensive income while unrealized gains and losses for equity securities are recorded in "Other income, net" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

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 three months ended April 4, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020.

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.

NOTE 8. DEBT

Loans Payable and Commercial Paper

Loans payable, commercial paper and the related weighted-average interest rates were as follows:

In millions	April 4, 2021			December 31, 2020
Loans payable (1)	$	93		$	169
Commercial paper	317		(2)	323		(3)
(1) Loans payable consist primarily of notes payable to various domestic and international financial institutions. It is not practicable to aggregate these notes and calculate a quarterly weighted-average interest rate.
(2) The weighted-average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was negative 0.03 percent at April 4, 2021 and included $117 million of borrowings under the EUR program that were negative 0.35 percent and $200 million of borrowings under the U.S. program at 0.16 percent.
(3) The weighted-average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was negative 0.01 percent at December 31, 2020 and included $123 million of borrowings under the EUR program that were negative 0.34 percent and $200 million of borrowings under the U.S. program at 0.19 percent.

We can issue up to $3.5 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized commercial paper programs. The 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 general corporate purposes.

Revolving Credit Facilities

We have access to committed credit facilities that total $3.5 billion, including the $1.5 billion 364-day facility that expires August 18, 2021 and our $2.0 billion five-year facility that expires on August 22, 2023. We 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 for general corporate purposes. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at April 4, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

At April 4, 2021, the $317 million of outstanding commercial paper effectively reduced the $3.5 billion of revolving credit capacity to $3.2 billion.

At April 4, 2021, we also had an additional $249 million available for borrowings under our international and other domestic credit facilities.

Engine System Campaign Accrual

During 2017, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) selected certain of our pre-2013 model year engine systems for additional emissions testing. Some of these engine systems failed CARB and EPA tests as a result of degradation of an aftertreatment component. In the second quarter of 2018, we reached agreement with the CARB and EPA regarding our plans to address the affected populations. From the fourth quarter of 2017 through the second quarter of 2018, we recorded charges for the expected costs of field campaigns to repair these engine systems.

The campaigns launched in the third quarter of 2018 are being completed in phases across the affected population. The total engine system campaign charge, excluding supplier recoveries, was $410 million. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we recorded an additional $20 million charge related to this campaign, as a change in estimate, to bring the total campaign, excluding supplier recoveries, to $430 million. At April 4, 2021, the remaining accrual balance was $129 million.

NOTE 10. 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; and environmental matters. 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 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 EPA and CARB regarding certification of our engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks. This review is being conducted with external advisors 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. In addition, we voluntarily disclosed our formal internal review to the regulators and to other government agencies, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the SEC, and worked cooperatively with them to ensure a complete and thorough review. We fully cooperated with the DOJ's and the SEC's information requests and inquiries and, based on recent communications with these agencies, we do not expect further inquiries. 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 discussions, the regulators have asked us to look at other model years and other engines. Due to the continuing nature of our formal review, our ongoing cooperation with our regulators and the presence of many unknown facts and circumstances, we cannot predict the final outcome of this review and these regulatory processes, and we cannot provide assurance that the matter will not have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

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 April 4, 2021, the maximum potential loss related to these guarantees was $31 million.

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. At April 4, 2021, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $74 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 April 4, 2021, the total commitments under these contracts were $39 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 $100 million at April 4, 2021.

17

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 12. 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 President and Chief Operating Officer.

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 hydrogen production solutions as well as electrified power systems ranging from fully electric to hybrid along with innovative components and subsystems, including battery and fuel cell 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.

We use segment earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA) as the primary 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 to individual segments. EBITDA may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

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 Stellantis N.V. We serve our customers through a network of over 500 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and over 9,000 Cummins certified dealer locations with service to approximately 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 hydrogen production solutions as well as electrified power systems ranging from fully electric to hybrid along with innovative components and subsystems, including battery and fuel cell 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.

First Quarter 2021 Results

A summary of our results is as follows:

	Three months ended
In millions, except per share amounts	April 4, 2021		March 29, 2020
Net sales	$	6,092	$	5,011
Net income attributable to Cummins Inc.	603		511
Earnings per common share attributable to Cummins Inc.
Basic	$	4.10	$	3.42
Diluted	4.07		3.41

Worldwide revenues increased 22 percent in the three months ended April 4, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, due to higher demand in all operating segments and most geographic regions of the world. International demand (excludes the U.S. and Canada) improved 45 percent primarily due to higher sales in most geographic regions. The increase in international sales was principally due to higher demand in all components businesses (primarily in China and India), stronger demand in China due to an improved COVID-19 environment over the comparable period in 2020, higher off-highway demand (mainly construction markets in China), higher demand for power generation equipment and favorable foreign currency impacts of 3 percent of international sales (primarily the Chinese renminbi and Euro, partially offset by the Brazilian real). Net sales in the U.S. and Canada improved 7 percent, primarily due to increased demand in North American on-highway markets, which also positively impacted all of our components businesses, partially offset by reduced sales in our distribution product lines resulting from supply chain constraints.

The following table contains sales and EBITDA (defined as earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests) by operating segment for the three months ended April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020. See Note 12, "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.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $603 million, or $4.07 per diluted share, on sales of $6.1 billion for the three months ended April 4, 2021, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins of $511 million, or $3.41 per diluted share, on sales of $5.0 billion. The increases in net income and earnings per diluted share were driven by higher net sales, increased gross margin and higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees primarily in China (due to stronger demand for trucks and construction equipment resulting from an improved COVID-19 environment over the comparable period in 2020), partially offset by higher variable compensation expenses, incremental costs associated with supply chain constraints, mark-to-market losses on corporate owned life insurance and a higher effective tax rate due to the absence of favorable adjustments related to India Tax Law Changes in March 2020. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher volumes and improved pricing, partially offset by increased compensation expenses (especially variable compensation) and higher premium freight costs. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to higher compensation expenses, increased premium freight costs and manufacturing inefficiencies. Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended April 4, 2021, benefited $0.03 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding due to the stock repurchase program.

26

We generated $339 million of cash from operations for the three months ended April 4, 2021, compared to $379 million for the comparable period in 2020. Refer to 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 April 4, 2021, was 31.2 percent, compared to 31.7 percent at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to $73 million of lower debt balances since December 31, 2020. At April 4, 2021, we had $3.4 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 2021, we purchased $418 million, or 1.7 million shares of common stock.

In the first three months of 2021, the investment gain on our U.S. pension trust was 1.1 percent while our U.K. pension trust loss was 6.1 percent. During the remainder of 2021, we anticipate making $17 million in additional defined benefit pension contributions in the U.K. and $12 million in contributions to our U.S. non-qualified benefit plans. We expect our 2021 annual net periodic pension cost to approximate $79 million.

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 April 4, 2021, increased by $1,081 million versus the comparable period in 2020. The primary drivers were as follows:

•Components segment sales increased 43 percent largely due to higher emission solutions demand in China, India and North America.

•Engine segment sales increased 14 percent due to increased volumes in the North American pick-up truck and heavy-duty truck markets.

•Power Systems segment sales increased 16 percent primarily due to higher demand in power generation markets in North America, China, Middle East and Asia Pacific.

•Favorable foreign currency fluctuations of 1 percent of total sales, primarily in the Chinese renminbi and Euro, partially offset by the Brazilian real.

Sales to international markets (excluding the U.S. and Canada), based on location of customers, for the three months ended April 4, 2021, were 46 percent of total net sales compared with 38 percent of total net sales for the comparable period in 2020. A more detailed discussion of sales by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

28

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; freight costs; engineering support costs; repairs and maintenance; production and warehousing facility property insurance; rent for production facilities and other production overhead.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased $192 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021 and decreased 1.4 points as a percentage of sales, versus the comparable period in 2020. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher volumes and improved pricing, partially offset by increased compensation expenses (especially variable compensation) and higher premium freight costs. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to higher compensation expenses, increased premium freight costs and manufacturing inefficiencies.

The provision for base warranties issued as a percent of sales for the three months ended April 4, 2021, was 2.6 percent compared to 1.9 percent for the comparable period in 2020. 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 increased $28 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to increased variable compensation expenses, partially offset by lower consulting expenses and reduced travel costs. Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 9.4 percent in the three months ended April 4, 2021, from 10.9 percent in the comparable period in 2020. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was mainly due to sales increasing faster than selling, general and administrative expenses, despite higher variable compensation expenses.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses

Research, development and engineering expenses increased $22 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020 primarily due to increased compensation expenses, especially variable compensation expenses, partially offset by decreased travel costs. Overall, research, development and engineering expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 4.3 percent in the three months ended April 4, 2021, from 4.7 percent in the comparable period in 2020. 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 April 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to increased earnings at Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., Tata Cummins Ltd. (excluding the absence of 2020 benefits noted below), Guangxi Cummins Industrial Power Co., Loop Energy Inc. and Dongfeng Cummins Emission Solutions Co., Ltd., partially offset by the absence of a $37 million favorable 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 both recorded in the first quarter of 2020 in Tata Cummins Ltd. The increased earnings in our China joint ventures were primarily due to an improved COVID-19 environment over the comparable period in 2020. See Note 4, "INCOME TAXES," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K for additional information on India Tax Law Changes.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate for 2021 is expected to approximate 22.5 percent, excluding any discrete items that may arise.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended April 4, 2021, was 22.0 percent and contained favorable discrete items of $4 million or $0.03 per share.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2020, was 19.4 percent and contained $18 million of favorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to the 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 in the first quarter of 2020. See Note 4, "INCOME TAXES," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K 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 April 4, 2021, decreased $9 million versus the comparable period in 2020. The decrease for the three months ended April 4, 2021, is primarily due to the absence of a $19 million unfavorable adjustment as the results of India Tax Law Changes passed in March 2020, partially offset by higher earnings at Eaton Cummins Joint Venture. See Note 4, "INCOME TAXES," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K for additional information on India Tax Law Changes.

30

Net Income Attributable to Cummins Inc. and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share Attributable to Cummins Inc.

Net income and diluted earnings per common share attributable to Cummins Inc. for the three months ended April 4, 2021, increased $92 million and $0.66 per diluted share versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to higher net sales, increased gross margin and higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees primarily in China (due to stronger demand for trucks and construction equipment resulting from an improved COVID-19 environment over the comparable period in 2020), partially offset by higher variable compensation expenses, incremental costs associated with supply chain constraints, mark-to-market losses on corporate owned life insurance and a higher effective tax rate due to the absence of favorable adjustments related to India Tax Law Changes in March 2020. Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended April 4, 2021, benefited $0.03 from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding due to the stock repurchase program.

Comprehensive Income - Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment

The foreign currency translation adjustment was a net loss of $56 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, compared to a net loss of $162 million for the three months ended March 29, 2020 and was driven by the following:

	Three months ended

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 12, "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.

Sales

Engine segment sales for the three months ended April 4, 2021, increased $301 million versus the comparable period in 2020. The following were the primary drivers by market:

•Light-duty automotive sales increased $128 million primarily due to pick-up truck sales in North America with shipments up 49 percent.

•Heavy-duty truck sales increased $77 million principally due to increased volumes in North America with shipments up 28 percent.

•Medium-duty truck and bus sales increased $56 million mainly due to higher medium-duty demand, partially offset by lower bus sales, especially in North America.

•Off-highway sales increased $40 million primarily due to higher demand in construction markets in China.

Segment EBITDA

Engine segment EBITDA for the three months ended April 4, 2021, decreased $11 million versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to lower gross margin, increased research, development and engineering expenses and higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by increased equity, royalty and interest income from investees. The decrease in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales was mainly due to increased premium freight, unfavorable mix, unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the Brazilian real) and increased variable compensation expenses, partially offset by higher volumes. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to increased variable compensation expenses, partially offset by lower consulting expenses and reduced travel costs. The increase in research, development and engineering expenses was due to higher compensation expenses, especially variable compensation expenses. The increase in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was principally due to increased earnings at Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., Tata Cummins Ltd. (excluding the absence of 2020 benefits noted below) and Guangxi Cummins Industrial Power Co., partially offset by the absence of an $18 million favorable adjustment related to India Tax Law Changes passed in March 2020 and $18 million of technology fee revenue both recorded in the first quarter of 2020 in Tata Cummins Ltd. The increased earnings in our China joint ventures were primarily due to an improved COVID-19 environment over the comparable period in 2020.

Sales

Distribution segment sales for the three months ended April 4, 2021, increased $21 million versus the comparable period in 2020. The following were the primary drivers by region:

•Improved demand in Europe, China, Asia Pacific, Russia and India.

•Favorable foreign currency fluctuations, primarily in the Australian dollar and Euro.

The increases were partially offset by reduced parts sales in North America resulting from supply chain constraints.

34

Segment EBITDA

Distribution segment EBITDA for the three months ended April 4, 2021, increased $2 million versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to increased other income and higher gross margin, partially offset by higher research, development and engineering expenses, increased selling, general and administrative expenses and lower equity, royalty and interest income from investees. The increase in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales was mainly due to decreased compensation expenses, improved pricing, higher volumes and favorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the Australian dollar), partially offset by higher variable compensation expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to increased variable compensation expenses, partially offset by decreased consulting expenses and lower travel costs. The increase in research, development and engineering expenses was due to increased variable compensation expenses and higher consulting expenses. The decrease in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was principally due to the absence of a $5 million favorable adjustment related to India Tax Law Changes passed in March 2020. See Note 4, "INCOME TAXES," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K for additional information on India Tax Law Changes.

Sales

Components segment sales for the three months ended April 4, 2021, increased $650 million versus the comparable period in 2020. The following were the primary drivers by business:

•Emission solutions sales increased $371 million primarily due to strong demand in China, India and North America.

•Turbo technologies sales increased $97 million principally due to increased demand in China, Western Europe and North America.

•Electronics and fuel systems sales increased $89 million mostly due to higher demand in China, India and North America.

•Filtration sales increased $60 million mainly due to stronger demand in China, North America and Europe.

•Favorable foreign currency fluctuations, primarily in the Chinese renminbi and Euro, partially offset by the Brazilian real.

Segment EBITDA

Components segment EBITDA for the three months ended April 4, 2021, increased $142 million versus the comparable period in 2020, mainly due to higher gross margin, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, increased research, development and engineering costs and lower equity, royalty and interest income from investees. The increase in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales was mainly due to higher volumes and favorable mix, partially offset by increased compensation expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to higher variable compensation expenses. Research, development and engineering expenses increased due to higher compensation expenses, especially variable compensation expenses. The decrease in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was principally due to the absence of a $14 million favorable adjustment related to India Tax Law Changes passed in March 2020 in Fleetguard Filters Private Ltd., partially offset by higher earnings at Fleetguard Filters Private Ltd. (excluding the absence of 2020 tax benefit noted above), Dongfeng Cummins Emission Solutions Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Fleetguard Filter Co. See Note 4, "INCOME TAXES," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K for additional information on India Tax Law Changes.

Segment EBITDA

Power Systems segment EBITDA for the three months ended April 4, 2021, increased $49 million versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to higher gross margin and favorable foreign currency fluctuations (especially in the Chinese renminbi and British pound), partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales was mainly due to higher volumes and improved pricing, partially offset by increased compensation expenses and unfavorable mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to increased variable compensation expenses, partially offset by lower travel costs.

OUTLOOK

COVID-19 Impact

The acceleration of the COVID-19 vaccine distribution in the U.S. is helping curb the spread of the virus and will hopefully allow the majority of our manufacturing facilities to remain open to meet increasing customer demand. While the vaccination effort will allow a return to more normal operations in the U.S., many international markets are still dealing with rising cases, new COVID variants and slower vaccination rollout. We continue to take necessary precautions at all our facilities both in the U.S. and abroad to mitigate the spread of the disease and prioritize the health and safety of our employees. While we are optimistic that continued vaccination distribution globally will minimize the impacts of the virus in the second half of the year, there is still a risk of increased cases or new virus variants resulting in lower customer demand, additional facility shutdowns or supply chain constraints in the future.

We anticipate lower demand in all end markets in India for the second quarter due to new lockdowns as a result of an increase in COVID-19 cases and are monitoring the events on the ground closely. Given the rapid increase in COVID cases in India, we are very concerned about the health and safety of our employees and those of our suppliers and partners. We are continuing to operate all our manufacturing facilities but with robust safety measures in place.

In March, we gained approval as a COVID-19 vaccine administrator at several U.S. sites and began offering the vaccine to our employees and their families at certain facilities in the U.S. We continue to collaborate with health officials around the world to provide employees with access to COVID-19 vaccines. That work differs geographically due to the variability in vaccine accessibility and distribution. Our global network of medical professionals is always focused on efforts to ensure the safety of all Cummins employees, their families and our communities.

Business Outlook

Our outlook reflects the following positive trends and challenges to our business for the remainder of 2021.

Positive Trends

•We expect demand for pick-up trucks in North America to remain strong.

•We estimate North American medium-duty and heavy-duty truck demand will continue to improve from 2020 levels.

•We believe market demand for trucks in India will improve from 2020 levels.

•We anticipate our aftermarket business will continue to improve, driven primarily by increased truck utilization in North America.

•Our liquidity of $6.5 billion in cash, marketable securities and available credit facilities strengthens our position to deal with any uncertainties that may arise in the remainder of 2021.

Challenges

•Supply constraints driven by strong demand in multiple end markets and regions may lead to increased costs, including higher premium freight.

•The shortage of key components such as semiconductor chips may lead to manufacturing delays, increased costs and the loss of sales.

•We expect market demand in truck and construction markets in China to decline from record levels in 2020.

•We may close or restructure certain manufacturing and distribution facilities as we evaluate the appropriate size and structure of our manufacturing and distribution capacity, which could result in additional charges.

•Uncertainty in the U.K. surrounding its ability to negotiate trade agreements as a sovereign country could have material negative impacts on our European operations in the long-term.

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:

Dollars in millions	April 4, 2021			December 31, 2020
Working capital (1)	$	5,462		$	5,562
Current ratio	1.82			1.88
Accounts and notes receivable, net	$	4,209		$	3,820
Days' sales in receivables	60			69
Inventories	$	3,753		$	3,425
Inventory turnover	5.0			4.2
Accounts payable (principally trade)	$	3,279		$	2,820
Days' payable outstanding	58			68
Total debt	$	4,091		$	4,164
Total debt as a percent of total capital	31.2		%	31.7		%
(1) Working capital includes cash and cash equivalents.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents were impacted as follows:

	Three months ended
In millions	April 4, 2021		March 29, 2020		Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	339	$	379	$	(40)
Net cash used in investing activities	(25)		(99)		74
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(745)		234		(979)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(12)		48		(60)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(443)	$	562	$	(1,005)

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $40 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to higher working capital requirements of $158 million, partially offset by higher consolidated net income of $83 million and the absence of prior year restructuring payments of $48 million. During the first three months of 2021, the higher working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $293 million compared to a cash outflow of $135 million in the comparable period in 2020, mainly due to higher accounts and notes receivable, inventories and other current assets, partially offset by higher accrued expenses and accounts payable.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $74 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to higher net liquidations of marketable securities of $85 million, partially offset by higher investments in and advances to equity investees of $17 million.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $979 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to lower net borrowings of commercial paper of $963 million and higher net payments under short-term credit agreements of $127 million, partially offset by lower repurchases of common stock of $132 million.

The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended April 4, 2021, versus the comparable period in 2020, decreased $60 million primarily due to unfavorable fluctuations in the British pound of $69 million, partially offset by favorable fluctuations in the Chinese renminbi and Indian rupee.

39

Sources of Liquidity

Cash provided by operations is typically our principal source of liquidity with $339 million generated in the three months ended April 4, 2021. Our sources of liquidity include:

	April 4, 2021
In millions	Total		U.S.		International		Primary location of international balances
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,958	$	1,536	$	1,422	China, Singapore, Belgium, Mexico, Australia, Canada
Marketable securities (1)	397		91		306		India
Total	$	3,355	$	1,627	$	1,728
Available credit capacity
Revolving credit facilities (2)	$	3,183
International and other uncommitted domestic credit facilities	$	249
(1) The majority of marketable securities could be liquidated into cash within a few days.
(2) The five-year credit facility for $2.0 billion and the 364-day credit facility for $1.5 billion, maturing August 2023 and August 2021, respectively, are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. At April 4, 2021, we had $317 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced the available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $3.2 billion.

Cash, Cash Equivalents 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 have asserted are permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. Foreign earnings for which we assert permanent reinvestment outside the U.S. consist primarily of earnings of our China, India and Netherlands domiciled subsidiaries. At present, we do not foresee a need to repatriate any earnings from these subsidiaries for which we have asserted 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.

Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity

We have access to committed credit facilities that total $3.5 billion, including the $1.5 billion 364-day facility that expires August 18, 2021 and our $2.0 billion five-year facility that expires on August 22, 2023. We 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 for general corporate purposes. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at April 4, 2021.

We can issue up to $3.5 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized commercial paper programs. The 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 general corporate purposes. The total combined borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facilities and commercial programs should not exceed $3.5 billion. See Note 8, "DEBT," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

At April 4, 2021, we had $317 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced the available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $3.2 billion.

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 regularly scheduled due date. We do not reimburse vendors for any costs they incur for participation in

40

the program and their participation is completely voluntary. As a result, all amounts owed to the financial intermediaries are presented as "Accounts payable" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Uses of Cash

Stock Repurchases

In December 2019, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2018 repurchase plan. In the first three months of 2021, we made the following purchases under the 2019 stock repurchase program:

In millions, except per share amounts	Shares Purchased	Average Cost Per Share		Total Cost of Repurchases		Remaining Authorized Capacity (1)
April 4	1.7	$	247.35	$	418	$	1,576
(1) The remaining authorized capacity under these plans was calculated based on the cost to purchase the shares but excludes commission expenses in accordance with the authorized plan.

We intend to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during 2021 to enhance shareholder value.

Dividends

We paid dividends of $197 million during the three months ended April 4, 2021.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures, including spending on internal use software, for the three months ended April 4, 2021, were $98 million versus $83 million in the comparable period in 2020. We plan to spend an estimated $725 million to $775 million in 2021 on capital expenditures, excluding internal use software, with over 50 percent of these expenditures expected to be invested in North America. In addition, we plan to spend an estimated $60 million to $70 million on internal use software in 2021.

Current Maturities of Short and Long-Term Debt

We had $317 million of commercial paper outstanding at April 4, 2021, that matures in less than one year. The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not require significant cash outflows until 2023 when our 3.65% senior notes are due. Required annual long-term debt principal payments range from $30 million to $534 million over the next five years (including the remainder of 2021). See Note 8, "DEBT," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Pensions

Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 112 percent funded at December 31, 2020. Our U.S. defined benefit plan, which represented approximately 52 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, was 128 percent funded, and our U.K. defined benefit plan was 114 percent funded at December 31, 2020. 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 three months of 2021, the investment gain on our U.S. pension trust was 1.1 percent while our U.K. pension trust loss was 6.1 percent. Approximately 71 percent of our pension plan assets are held in highly liquid investments such as fixed income and equity securities. The remaining 29 percent of our plan assets are held in less liquid, but market valued investments, including real estate, private equity, venture capital, opportunistic credit and insurance contracts. During the remainder of 2021, we anticipate making $17 million in additional defined benefit pension contributions in the U.K. and $12 million in contributions to our U.S. non-qualified benefit plans. These contributions may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants. We expect our 2021 annual net periodic pension cost to approximate $79 million.

Credit Ratings

Our rating and outlook from each of the credit rating agencies as of the date of filing are shown in the table below.

	Long-Term	Short-Term
Credit Rating Agency (1)	Senior Debt Rating	Debt Rating	Outlook
Standard and Poor’s Rating Services	A+	A1	Stable
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.	A2	P1	Stable
(1) Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, are subject to change, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. In addition, we undertake no obligation to update disclosures concerning our credit ratings, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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 existing cash and marketable securities, operating cash flow and revolving credit facilities provide us with the financial flexibility needed to fund common stock repurchases, dividend payments, targeted capital expenditures, projected pension obligations, acquisitions, working capital and debt service obligations through 2021 and beyond. We continue to generate significant cash from operations and maintain access to our expanded 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 2020 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 including the impacts of COVID-19 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, 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 2020 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 three months of 2021.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

A discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk may be found in Item 7A of our 2020 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 2020 Form 10-K. 

ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of

42

1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 4, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings

The matters described under "Legal Proceedings" in Note 10, "COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A.  Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should consider other risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K or the "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION" in this Quarterly report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently judge to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following information is provided pursuant to Item 703 of Regulation S-K:

	Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased (1)	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (in millions) (2)
January 1 - February 7	647,390	$	237.88	647,390	$	1,840
February 8 - March 7	654,074	246.15		654,074	1,679
March 8 - April 4	388,437	265.17		388,437	1,576
Total	1,689,901	247.35		1,689,901
(1) Shares purchased represent shares under the Board authorized share repurchase program.
(2) 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 2019, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2018 repurchase plan. During the three months ended April 4, 2021, we repurchased $418 million of common stock under the 2019 authorization. The dollar value remaining available for future purchases under the 2019 program at April 4, 2021, was $1,576 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.

RESTATEMENT AND PURPOSE

Section 1.01    History and Restatement. Cummins Inc. established the Cummins Engine Company, Inc. 1994 Deferred Compensation Plan ("Plan"), effective February 1, 1994, and it has amended and/or restated the Plan on several occasions since that time. The Company restated the Plan effective January 1, 2008 to comply with the requirements of the final regulations under Code Section 409A and to change the name of the Plan to the Cummins Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “2008 Restatement”), and restated the Plan again effective as of October 15, 2012, January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2016 (the “2016 Restatement Effective Date”). By this restatement, which is effective on February 15, 2021 (the “2021 Restatement Effective Date”), the Company amends the Plan to incorporate certain changes to the terms of the Plan.

Section 1.02    Application of Restatement. The 2008 Restatement applied, effective January 1, 2008, to all amounts deferred or vested under the Plan after 2004 and any earnings credited with respect to such amounts. None of the 2008 Restatement, this restatement nor any interim restatement applies to any amount deferred and vested as of December 31, 2004, or any earnings credited under the Plan with respect to such amounts (together, "Grandfathered Amounts"), and Grandfathered Amounts shall continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan without regard to the 2008 Restatement, this restatement or any interim restatement; provided, however, the person or persons entitled to receive any remaining portion of a Participant's Plan Year Balances after his death shall be determined pursuant to this restatement, provided that the Participant's death occurs after 2004.

Section 1.03    Purpose. The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded plan maintained by the Employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Sections 201, 301, and 401 of ERISA.

Section 1.04    Grantor Trust. The Company has established a grantor trust to hold assets for the provision of certain benefits under the Plan as well as other employee benefits. Assets of the Trust are subject to the claims of the Employer's general creditors, and no Participant shall have any interest in any assets of the Trust or an Employer other than as a general creditor of the Employer.

ARTICLE III

PARTICIPATION

The Administrator shall notify an individual of his eligibility to participate in the Plan as soon as administratively feasible after it determines that the individual has satisfied the requirements (other than notification) for eligibility to participate. An individual shall become an Eligible Employee upon receipt of the Administrator's notice. An Eligible Employee shall become a Participant only after completing online enrollment or taking such other action as the Administrator may prescribe.

ARTICLE IV

DEFERRAL AND DISTRIBUTION ELECTIONS

Section 4.01    Deferral of Compensation. An Eligible Employee may elect pursuant to this Article IV to defer receipt of a percentage, up to 85%, as specified in the election, of his base salary, annual bonus, and/or Longer-Term Performance Plan payments that would otherwise be paid to him in cash. The 85% maximum deferral shall be applied separately to each component of compensation deferred. All elections pursuant to this Article IV shall be made by the means designated by the Administrator, which may include completion of an online form or other means. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.06 and 4.07, elections under this Article IV shall become irrevocable (i) in the case of initial deferral elections pursuant to Section 4.02, when it is filed, or (ii) in the case of deferral elections other than initial deferral elections, as of the last day of the applicable election period; provided, however, if the Administrator grants a Participant's request for a distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency, it shall cancel the Participant's existing deferral elections. Amounts deferred pursuant to a Participant's election shall be withheld from his cash compensation and credited to his Plan Year Balance as provided in Section 5.02. The Participant's Employer shall withhold employment and other taxes with respect to the deferred amounts from the Participant's other compensation, as required by law. If the Participant's other compensation is insufficient for that purpose, the required amounts shall be withheld by the Participant’s Employer from the amounts subject to the Participant’s deferral election or the Participant shall reimburse the Employer for the required withholding not withheld from the Participant's other compensation.

Section 4.02    Initial Deferral Election. An individual may make a deferral election pursuant to this Section within 30 days after the individual first becomes an Eligible Employee (or, if earlier, within 30 days after the date on which he first becomes eligible to participate in any other plan of an Affiliated Employer that is required to be aggregated with this Plan for purposes of Code Section 409A, or within such shorter enrollment period specified by the Administrator). Pursuant to such election, an Eligible Employee may elect to defer (i) up to 85% of his base salary for services performed after the date on which his election is filed with the Administrator and/or (ii) up to 85% of his annual bonus for services performed in months after the date on which his election is filed with the Administrator.

Section 4.03    Elections to Defer Base Salary. An Eligible Employee may elect to defer up to 85% of his base salary for services performed during a calendar year by filing an

    - 7 -

4824-1867-4209.7

election during the enrollment period established by the Administrator, which period shall end not later than December 31 of the preceding year.

Section 4.04    Elections to Defer Annual Bonus or Longer-Term Performance Plan Payouts. An Eligible Employee may elect to defer up to 85% of his annual bonus and/or his cash payouts under the Longer-Term Performance Plan. The deferral election must be made during the enrollment period(s) established by the Administrator, which period(s) shall end not later than 6 months before the end of the performance period. If an enrollment period does not end prior to the beginning of the performance period, then an Eligible Employee will be able to elect to defer portions of his annual bonus and/or his cash payouts under the Longer-Term Performance Plan under this section in such enrollment period only if (i) the Eligible Employee has performed services continuously from the later of the beginning of the performance period or the date the performance criteria were established through the date of such election, (ii) the compensation subject to such election has not become readily ascertainable at the time of such election, and (iii) such election is otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.

Section 4.05    Election of Form and Timing of Payment. At the time a Participant makes a deferral election pursuant to Section 4.02, 4.03 or 4.04, he shall also elect a Designated Benefit Commencement Date and Designated Election for the Plan Year Balance to which amounts subject to the deferral are credited.

Section 4.06    Election Changes. A Participant may, pursuant to this Section, elect to change the Designated Distribution Date and/or Designated Election for a Plan Year Balance, provided, however, that a Participant may make only one election pursuant to this Section with respect to a Plan Year Balance. A Participant's election change pursuant to this Section shall be not be valid until 12 months after it is filed with the Administrator, and it shall be valid only if (i) it defers the original Designated Distribution Date for at least five years, and (ii) if it changes an election for payment at a specified time or pursuant to a specified schedule, it is made at least 12 months before the prior Designated Distribution Date. In addition, if the prior Designated Distribution Date is based on the Participant’s Retirement date, the Participant's new Designated Distribution Date must be precisely five years after the prior Designated Distribution Date.

ARTICLE V

PLAN YEAR BALANCES

Section 5.01    Establishment of Plan Year Balances. The Administrator shall establish a separate Plan Year Balance to reflect each Participant's interest under the Plan with respect to amounts deferred pursuant to all of the Participant's deferral elections made with respect to a single year. The Administrator also shall separately account for Grandfathered Amounts and Non-Grandfathered Amounts.

Section 5.02    Crediting of Deferrals. A Participant's deferrals shall be credited to his appropriate Plan Year Balance as of the payroll date on which they are withheld from his pay.

    - 8 -

4824-1867-4209.7

Section 5.03    Crediting of RSP True Up Matching Credits. As a result of a Participant's deferrals under the Plan, he may not receive matching contributions that he would have received under the Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plans ("RSP") in the absence of such election. In such a case, to the extent determined by the Company, in its discretion, the Participant's Plan Year Balance with respect to such deferrals may be credited with the amount of such lost matching contributions and any earnings thereon deemed appropriate by the Company. Such credited amounts shall be subject to the same deferral elections otherwise in effect with respect to such Plan Year Balance and shall, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, be deemed credited as of December 31 of the year to which they relate.

Section 5.04    Investment Options. The Administrator shall, from time to time, specify the available Investment Funds, which the Administrator may prospectively change or close to new investments in its discretion. Each Participant shall elect one or more Investment Funds to which his existing Accounts shall be allocated, in increments of 1%. The Administrator shall determine from time to time how frequently Participants may change their investment elections, provided that Participants shall be permitted to change their investment elections no less frequently than once per calendar year. The Administrator also may permit Participants to make separate investment elections with respect to their existing Accounts and future deferrals. The sole purpose of the Investment Funds is to measure Earnings Credits to the Participant's Accounts, and there is no requirement that amounts be invested in the Investment Funds.

Section 5.05    Crediting of Earnings. As of the end of each business day, the Administrator shall credit each Participant's Plan Year Balances with an Earnings Credit (which may be positive or negative) as provided in this Section. Except as the Administrator otherwise determines, the Earnings Credit rate for that portion of a Participant's Plan Year Balances allocated to a fixed income Investment Fund for any day in a calendar quarter shall be based on the rate under such fixed income investment on the last day of the preceding calendar quarter. The Earnings Credit rate for that portion of a Participant's Plan Year Balances allocated to any Investment Fund other than a fixed income Investment Fund shall be the rate of investment earnings under such Investment Fund. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, no Earnings Credits shall be allocated with respect to a Payment after the last business day immediately preceding that Payment (or such earlier date preceding a Payment as reasonably designated by the Administrator). In determining the Earnings Credits, the Administrator may adopt such procedures as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion.

Section 5.06    Charge for Distributions. Upon a distribution with respect to a Participant, the Participant’s appropriate Plan Year Balances shall be reduced by the amount of the distribution.

4824-1867-4209.7

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN YEAR BALANCES

Section 6.01    Distribution on Designated Benefit Commencement Date.

(a)    Except as expressly provided in the following provisions of this Article, a Participant's Plan Year Balances subject to a deferral election shall be distributed in their respective Designated Elections, beginning as of their respective Designated Benefit Commencement Dates. Amounts payable as of a date shall be paid on such date or as soon as administratively feasible (and under no circumstances more than 30 days) thereafter.

(b)    Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, if a Participant's Plan Year Balance on his separation from service is less than $10,000, then:

(1)    The Administrator may pay out the Participant’s entire interest in the Plan in a single lump sum upon separation from service if (A) the Participant’s separation from service occurred on or after the 2021 Restatement Effective Date and (B) all of the Participant’s Plan Year Balances (and any other amounts deferred by the Participant under any other arrangements aggregated with the Plan under Treas. Reg. s. 1.409A-1(c)(2)) total less than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) for the year; or

(2)    If the Administrator does not make a payment under clause (1), the Designated Election for such Plan Year Balance (regardless of whether the Designated Benefit Commencement Date for such Plan Year Balance is based on Retirement or a specified date) shall be deemed to be a lump sum.

Section 6.02    Distribution Upon Termination of Employment for Reasons other than Retirement. Notwithstanding Section 6.01, and subject to Section 6.06, if a Participant Terminates Employment for a reason other than Retirement, his remaining Plan Year Balances shall be paid to him (or his Beneficiary, if he is deceased) in a single lump sum payment as of the Quarterly Distribution Month occurring in the first calendar quarter beginning after his Termination of Employment; provided, however this sentence shall not result in the deferral of any amount otherwise payable under the Plan.

Section 6.03    Distribution Upon Death. Notwithstanding Section 6.01, if a Participant dies before the distribution of his entire Plan Year Balance, his remaining Plan Year Balance shall be distributed to his Beneficiary in a single lump sum payment as of the Quarterly Distribution Month occurring in the first calendar quarter beginning after his death; provided, however, this sentence shall not result in the deferral of any amount otherwise payable under the Plan; and provided further that, if the Administrator does not receive notice of the Participant’s death and distribution under this Section 6.01 therefore does not occur at the time specified herein, no breach of the Plan shall be deemed to have occurred.

    - 10 -

4824-1867-4209.7

Section 6.04    Distribution on Account of Unforeseeable Emergency. Notwithstanding Section 6.01, if a Participant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Administrator that he has incurred an Unforeseeable Emergency, the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (including any amounts necessary to pay any income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution), as determined by the Administrator, shall be distributed to him as soon as administratively feasible after the Administrator’s decision; provided that, in determining whether an Unforseeable Emergency has been incurred and the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need, the Administrator shall take into consideration, among other things, all amounts available to the Participant under the RSP (including by obtaining a loan under the RSP). If the Administrator grants a request for withdrawal pursuant to this Section, it shall prospectively cancel the Participant's existing deferral elections, and it shall take into account the additional compensation that is available as a result of the cancellation of those elections in determining the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the Participant's emergency need.

Section 6.05    Distribution on Account of Change of Control. Notwithstanding Section 6.01, if a Change of Control occurs with respect to a Participant, the Participant’s remaining Plan Year Balances shall be distributed to him in a single lump sum payment on the date of such Change of Control or as soon as administratively feasible (and not more than 30 days) thereafter; provided, however, this sentence shall not result in the deferral of any amount otherwise payable under the Plan.

Section 6.06    Delay in Payment for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, to the extent required by Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), distributions to a Participant who is a Specified Employee on account of his Termination of Employment for any reason other than death shall be delayed until the earliest date permitted by such section. Payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be increased by deemed earnings, as determined pursuant to Section 5.05, to the date on which such payments are made.

Section 6.07    Designating a Beneficiary.

(a)    The Participant may designate a Beneficiary only by completing the online designation or other process required by the Administrator for a Beneficiary designation during his life. The Participant's proper completion of the process to designate a Beneficiary in accordance with the Administrator’s requirements shall cancel all prior Beneficiary designations. If the Participant does not designate a Beneficiary, or if all properly designated Beneficiaries die before the Participant, then the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be his Spouse, if living at the time of the Participant’s death, or if his Spouse is not then living, the individual(s), if any, named as the Participant’s beneficiary under his Employer-provided group life insurance program, who are living at the time of the Participant’s death or, if no such beneficiaries are then living, the Participant’s estate.

(b)    Except to the extent the Participant’s Beneficiary is the individual named as the Participant’s beneficiary under his Employer-provided group life insurance program pursuant to

    - 11 -

4824-1867-4209.7

the preceding paragraph and such program otherwise provides, the following rules shall determine the apportionment of payments due under the Plan among Beneficiaries in the event of the Participant’s death:

(1)    If any Beneficiary designated by the Participant as a “Direct Beneficiary” dies before the Participant, his interest and the interest of his heirs in any payments under the Plan shall terminate and the percentage share of the remaining Beneficiaries designated as Direct Beneficiaries shall be increased on a pro rata basis. If no such Beneficiary survives the Participant, then the Participant’s entire interest in the Plan shall pass to any Beneficiary designated as a “Contingent Beneficiary.”

(2)    If any Beneficiary designated by the Participant as a “Contingent Beneficiary” dies before the Participant, his interest and the interest of his heirs in any payments under the Plan shall terminate and the percentage share of the remaining Beneficiaries designated as Contingent Beneficiaries shall be increased on a pro rata basis.

(3)    If any Beneficiary dies after the Participant, but before payment is made to such Beneficiary, then the payment shall be made to the Beneficiary’s estate.

(1)    to interpret Plan documents, decide all questions of eligibility, determine whether a Participant has Terminated Employment, determine the amount, manner, and timing of distributions under the Plan, and resolve any claims for benefits;

(2)    to prescribe procedures to be followed by a Participant, Beneficiary, or other person applying for benefits;

    - 12 -

4824-1867-4209.7

(3)    to appoint or employ persons to assist in the administration of the Plan and any other agents as it deems advisable;

(4)    to adopt such rules as it deems necessary or appropriate; and

(5)    to maintain and keep adequate records concerning the Plan, including sufficient records to determine each Participant's eligibility to participate and his interest in the Plan, and its proceedings and acts in such form and detail as it may decide.

Section 7.02    Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator, any person serving on a committee that serves as Administrator, and any officer, employee, or director of an Employer to whom any duty or power relating to the administration of the Plan has been properly delegated from and against any cost, expense, or liability arising out of any act or omission in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of such person's own fraud or bad faith.

Section 7.03    Claims and Claims Review Procedure.

(a)    In general, distributions under the Plan will be made automatically as provided in Article VI and no Benefit Claim will be necessary for a Participant to receive distributions under the Plan. If a Participant or his designated Beneficiary believes he is entitled to a benefit under the Plan that is not provided, however, he may file a written Benefit Claim for payments under the Plan with the Administrator provided such claim is filed within 90 days of the date payments under the Plan are made or begin to be made, or the date the Participant or his designated Beneficiary believes payments should have been made, as applicable. All Benefit Claims must be made in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator from time to time. A Benefit Claim and any appeal thereof may be filed by the claimant or his authorized representative.

(b)    The Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice of its approval or Denial of a properly filed Benefit Claim within 90 days after receiving the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of the decision period. If special circumstances require an extension of the time for processing the claim, the initial 90-day period may be extended for up to an additional 90 days. If an extension is required, the Administrator shall provide written notice of the required extension before the end of the initial 90-day period, which notice shall (i) specify the circumstances requiring an extension and (ii) the date by which the Administrator expects to make a decision.

(c)    If a Benefit Claim is Denied, the Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice containing (i) the specific reasons for the Denial, (ii) references to the applicable Plan provisions on which the Denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional material or information needed and why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) a description of the applicable review process and time limits.

    - 13 -

4824-1867-4209.7

(d)    A claimant may appeal the Denial of a Benefit Claim by filing a written appeal with the Administrator within 60 days after receiving notice of the Denial. The claimant's appeal shall be deemed filed on receipt by the Administrator. If a claimant does not file a timely appeal, the Administrator's decision shall be deemed final, conclusive, and binding on all persons.

(e)    The Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice of its decision on appeal within 60 days after receipt of the claimant's appeal request, unless special circumstances require an extension of this time period. If special circumstances require an extension of the time to process the appeal, the processing period may be extended for up to an additional 60 days. If an extension is required, the Administrator shall provide written notice of the required extension to the claimant before the end of the original 60-day period, which shall specify the circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which the Administrator expects to make a decision. If the Benefit Claim is Denied on appeal, the Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice containing a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Benefit Claim, as well as the specific reasons for the Denial on appeal and references to the applicable Plan provisions on which the Denial is based. The Administrator's decision on appeal shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, subject to the claimant's right to file a civil action pursuant to ERISA Section 502(a).

(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing claims and appeals procedures, to avoid an additional tax on payments that may be payable under the Plan, a claimant must make a reasonable, good faith effort to collect any payment or benefit to which the claimant believes he is entitled hereunder no later than 90 days after the latest date upon which the payment could have been timely made pursuant to Code Section 409A, and if not paid or provided, must take further enforcement measures within 180 days after such latest date.

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

The Plan shall continue in force with respect to any Participant until the completion of any payments due hereunder. The Company may, however, at any time, amend the Plan to provide that no additional benefits shall accrue with respect to any Participant under the Plan following expiration of the Participant’s irrevocable election; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) deprive any Participant or Beneficiary of any benefit that accrued under the Plan before the adoption of such amendment; (ii) result in an acceleration of benefit payments in violation of Code Section 409A and the guidance thereunder, or (iii) result in any other violation of Code Section 409A or the guidance thereunder. The Company may also, at any time, amend the Plan retroactively or otherwise, if and to the extent that it deems such action appropriate in light of government regulations or other legal requirements.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.01    Obligations of Employer. The Employer's only obligation hereunder shall be a contractual obligation to make payments to Participants or Beneficiaries entitled to benefits provided for herein when due, and only to the extent that such payments are not made from the Trust. Nothing herein shall give a Participant, Beneficiary, or other person any right to a specific asset of an Employer or the Trust, other than as a general creditor of the Employer.

Section 9.02    Employment Rights. Nothing contained herein shall confer any right on a Participant to be continued in the employ of any Employer or affect the Participant's right to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance with any pension, profit-sharing, incentive compensation, or other benefit plan or program of an Employer.

Section 9.03    Non-Alienation. Except as otherwise required by a Domestic Relations Order, no right or interest of a Participant, Spouse, or other Beneficiary under this Plan shall be subject to voluntary or involuntary alienation, assignment, or transfer of any kind. Payments shall be made to an Alternate Payee to the extent provided in a Domestic Relations Order. To the extent permitted by Code Section 409A, payments pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order may be made in a lump sum and before the Participant's earliest retirement age (as defined by ERISA Section 206(d)(3)(E)(ii)).

Section 9.04    Tax Withholding. The Employer or Trustee may withhold from any distribution hereunder amounts that the Employer or Trustee deems necessary to satisfy federal, state, or local tax withholding requirements (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Employer or Trustee with regard to such taxes).

Section 9.05    Other Plans. Amounts and benefits paid under the Plan shall not be considered compensation to the Participant for purposes of computing any benefits to which he may be entitled under any other pension or retirement plan maintained by an Employer.

Section 9.06    Liability of Affiliated Employers. If any payment to be made under the Plan is to be made on account of a Participant who is or was employed by an Affiliated Employer, the cost of such payment shall be borne in such proportion as the Company and the Affiliated Employer agree.

(d)    A Participant may change the Designated Distribution Date and/or Designated Election for a Plan Year Balance only by the means designated by the Administrator, which may include completion of an online form or other means; provided that such change also meets the

6

4844-4073-4733.9

following requirements: the Participant’ election change shall (i) not be effective until 12 months after it is made, (ii) be valid only if it defers the payment of the relevant Plan Year Balance for a period of not less than five years from the date it otherwise would have been made, and (iii) if the election relates to a payment at a specified time or pursuant to a specified schedule, be valid only if it is made at least 12 months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid.

(e)    A Participant may change the investment option(s) stipulated for crediting earnings on his or her Plan Year Balances pursuant to Section 5.02(c) and Article VI of the Plan and such procedures as are prescribed by the Administrator.

(f)    A Participant may change his or her designation of Beneficiary(ies) at any time pursuant to Section 7.08.

ARTICLE V

PLAN YEAR BALANCES

Section 5.01. Establishment of Deferred Cash Accounts. At the time of a Participant’s initial election to make Cash Deferrals pursuant to Article IV, the Company shall establish a bookkeeping account (known as the Deferred Cash Account) for such Participant to record his interest under the Plan attributable to Cash Deferrals. Cash Deferrals made by a Participant for a Payment Year shall be credited to the Plan Year Balance for such Payment Year in the Deferred Cash Account as of the last day of the Payment Year, and the Deferred Cash Account shall be adjusted as provided in Article VI.

7

4844-4073-4733.9

Section 5.02. Establishment of Deferred Stock Account.

(a)    At the time of a Participant’s initial election to make Stock Deferrals pursuant to Article IV, the Company shall establish a bookkeeping account (known as the Deferred Stock Account) for such Participant to record his interest under the Plan attributable to Stock Deferrals. Stock Deferrals made by a Participant for a Payment Year (rounded up to the next whole share) shall be credited to the Plan Year Balance for such Payment Year in the Deferred Stock Account as of the last day of the Payment Year. Any part of the stock portion of a Director’s Compensation not covered by a Stock Deferral election shall be paid to the Director in accordance with the terms of the Cummins Inc. 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (or any successor plan thereto) and the applicable award thereunder.

(b)    The Deferred Stock Account shall also be credited with an amount equivalent to the dividends that would have been paid on an equal number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock then credited to the Participant’s Deferred Stock Account. Such amount shall be credited as of the payment date of such dividend and converted into an additional number of whole and partial deferred shares as of such date (based on the average of the closing prices of such stock for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding such date). Such additional deferred shares shall thereafter be treated in the same manner as any other shares credited to the Participant’s Deferred Stock Account.

(c)    Upon either (i) a Participant reaching age 70, or (ii) commencement of distribution of the Participant’s Plan Year Balances that are part of the Deferred Stock Account, the Participant may elect to allocate all or any portion of the value of such Plan Year Balances into the other available investment options under the Plan. The Participant may chose more than one investment option in such minimum increments as are prescribed by the Administrator.

Such election must be made in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator no later than the beginning of the year one year prior to the year in which either (i) age 70 is attained, or (ii) the first annual installment from the Plan Year Balance that is to be affected by the election is made.

The value of the stock units affected by this election shall be determined by multiplying the number of stock units so affected by the 90-day average closing price of the common stock of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange covering the 90 trading days immediately preceding the date the investment diversification election is submitted by the Participant to the Administrator. After the initial diversification is made, a Participant may change the investment election at such times as may be prescribed by the Administrator.

(d)    The number and kinds of shares standing to the credit of a Participant’s Deferred Stock Account shall be appropriately adjusted from time to time, as determined by the Administrator in its discretion, in the event of changes in the Company’s outstanding common stock by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, spinoffs, or other distributions of assets (other than normal cash dividends), recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges, or other relevant changes in the Company’s corporate structure or

8

4844-4073-4733.9

capitalization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall subdivide the shares of common stock or the Company shall declare a dividend payable in shares of common stock, and if no action is taken by the Administrator, then the adjustments contemplated by this subsection (d) that are proportionate shall nevertheless automatically be made as of the date of such subdivision of the shares or dividend in shares.

Section 5.03. Separate Accounts for Grandfathered Amounts. The Company shall separately account for Grandfathered Amounts and Non-Grandfathered Amounts.

ARTICLE VI

ADJUSTMENTS TO DEFERRED CASH ACCOUNTS

As of the end of each business day, the Company shall credit the Participant’s Deferred Cash Account with an earnings factor. The earnings factor will equal the amount the Participant’s Deferred Cash Account would have earned if it had been invested in the investment options determined from time to time by the Company. The Participant is permitted to select the investment option(s) used to determine the earnings factor and may change the selection at such times as may be prescribed by the Administrator. The Participant may choose more than one investment option in such minimum increments as are prescribed by the Administrator. The Company reserves the right to change or amend any of the investment options at any time. The Company is under no obligation to acquire or provide any of the investments designated by a Participant, and any investments actually made by the Company will be made solely in the name of the Company and will remain the property of the Company. The crediting of an earnings factor shall occur so long as there is a balance in the Participant’s Deferred Cash Account, regardless of whether the Participant has Terminated Service.

ARTICLE VII

PAYMENT OF DEFERRED AMOUNTS

Section 7.01. Timing of Payments. Each Plan Year Balance within a Participant’s Deferred Cash Account and Deferred Stock Account shall be paid (or commence distribution, if paid in installments) to the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary, if the Participant is deceased) on the earliest to occur of the following:

(a)    the Participant’s death as described in Section 7.05;

(b)    the first business day of the calendar quarter following the Participant’s Termination of Service;

(c)    a Change of Control as described in Section 7.06; or

(d)    the Designated Distribution Date for the Plan Year Balance.

Section 7.02. Form of Payment. All distributions from a Participant’s Deferred Cash Account shall be paid in cash. All distributions from a Participant’s Deferred Stock

9

4844-4073-4733.9

Account shall be paid in shares of Company common stock (other than any fractional share which shall be paid in cash) and such shares shall be issued under, and subject to, the Cummins Inc. 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (or a successor plan thereto); provided that, to the extent the allocation election described in Section 5.02(c) has been made, the amount so allocated shall be paid in cash.

Section 7.03. Amount of Installment Payments.

(a)    The amount of each annual cash installment from a Plan Year Balance within a Participant’s Deferred Cash Account or a Participant’s Deferred Stock Account (to the extent the allocation election described in Section 5.02(c) has been made) shall be determined by dividing the credit balance in such Plan Year Balance as of the distribution date by the number of installments then remaining unpaid (including the installment for which the calculation is being made). The credit balance in the Plan Year Balance within the Participant’s Deferred Cash Account or Deferred Stock Account shall be reduced by the amount of each distribution out of such Account.

(b)    The number of shares distributed in each annual installment from a Plan Year Balance within a Participant’s Deferred Stock Account (to the extent allocated to stock units) shall be determined by dividing the number of stock units in such Plan Year Balance as of the distribution date by the number of installments then remaining unpaid (including the installment for which the calculation is being made), with the number to be distributed rounded up to the next whole share. The number of stock units in the Plan Year Balance within the Participant’s Deferred Stock Account shall be reduced by the number of shares included in each installment. The value of any partial share remaining on the date of the final installment from such Plan Year Balance shall be paid in cash.

Section 7.04. Small Amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, at the time of the Participant’s separation from service, the Participant’s entire interest in the Plan, together with any amounts deferred by the Participant under any other arrangements aggregated with the Plan under Treas. Reg. s. 1.409A-1(c)(2), are of less value (determined on the basis of the closing price of the Company’s common stock, in the case of any Deferred Stock Account) in total than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) for the year, then the Administrator may pay out the Participant’s entire interest in the Plan and such other arrangements in a single lump sum at such time.

Section 7.05. Death Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of the Participant’s death, payment of the entire balance in the Participant’s Deferred Cash Account and Deferred Stock Account shall be made to the Participant’s designated Beneficiary(ies) in a single lump sum payment within 90 days following the Participant’s death.

Section 7.06. Payments Upon a Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon a Change of Control, the balance in each Participant’s Deferred Cash Account and Deferred Stock Account shall be paid to the Participant (or, if the Participant is

10

4844-4073-4733.9

deceased, Beneficiary) in a single lump sum payment. Such payment shall be made on the date of the Change of Control.

Section 7.07. Payments on Account of Unforeseeable Emergency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.01, if a Participant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Chairman of the Board and the Chair of the Compensation Committee of the Board (together, the “Chairs”) that he or she has incurred an Unforeseeable Emergency, the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (including any amounts necessary to pay any income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution), as determined by the Chairs, shall be distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively feasible after the decision of the Chairs; provided that, in determining whether an Unforeseeable Emergency has been incurred and the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need, the Chairs shall take into consideration, among other things, all amounts available to the Participant under the Cummins Inc. and Affiliates Retirement and Savings Plans (“RSP”) (including by obtaining a loan under the RSP). If the Chairs grant a request for withdrawal pursuant to this Section, the Administrator shall prospectively cancel the Participant’s existing deferral elections, and the Chairs shall take into account the additional compensation that is available as a result of the cancellation of those elections in determining the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the Participant’s emergency need.

Section 7.08. Designating a Beneficiary

.

(a)    The Participant may designate a Beneficiary only by completing the online designation or other process required by the Administrator for a Beneficiary designation during his life. The Participant’s proper completion of the process to designate a Beneficiary in accordance with the Administrator’s requirements shall cancel all prior Beneficiary designations. If the Participant does not designate a Beneficiary, or if all properly designated Beneficiaries die before the Participant, then payment of the balance in the Participant’s Deferred Cash Account and Deferred Stock Account shall be made to the Participant’s estate in the event of the Participant’s death.

(b)    The following rules shall determine the apportionment of payments due under the Plan among Beneficiaries in the event of the Participant’s death:

(1)     If any Beneficiary designated by the Participant as a “Direct Beneficiary” dies before the Participant, his or her interest and the interest of his or her heirs in any payments under the Plan shall terminate and the percentage share of the remaining Beneficiaries designated as Direct Beneficiaries shall be increased on a pro rata basis. If no such Beneficiary survives the Participant, the Participant’s entire interest in the Plan shall pass to any Beneficiary designated as a “Contingent Beneficiary.”

(2)     If any Beneficiary designated by the Participant as a “Contingent Beneficiary” dies before the Participant, his or her interest and the interest of his or her heirs in any payments under the Plan shall terminate and the

11

4844-4073-4733.9

percentage share of the remaining Beneficiaries designated as Contingent Beneficiaries shall be increased on a pro rata basis.

(3)     If any Beneficiary dies after the Participant, but before payment is made to such Beneficiary, then the payment shall be made to the Beneficiary’s estate.

ARTICLE VIII

ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN

Section 8.01. Powers and Responsibilities of the Administrator.

(a)    The Administrator shall have full responsibility and discretionary authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan. The Administrator is authorized to accept service of legal process on behalf of the Plan. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any action taken by the Administrator pursuant to a reasonable interpretation of the Plan shall be binding and conclusive on all persons claiming benefits under the Plan, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such action was arbitrary or capricious.

(b)    The Administrator’s discretionary powers include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1)    to interpret Plan documents, decide all questions of eligibility, determine whether a Participant has Terminated Service, determine the amount, manner, and timing of distributions under the Plan, and resolve any claims for benefits;

(2)    to prescribe procedures to be followed by a Participant, Beneficiary, or other person applying for benefits;

(3)    to appoint or employ persons to assist in the administration of the Plan and any other agents as it deems advisable;

(4)    to adopt such rules as it deems necessary or appropriate; and

(5)    to maintain and keep adequate records concerning the Plan, including sufficient records to determine each Participant’s eligibility to participate and his interest in the Plan, and its proceedings and acts in such form and detail as it may decide.

Section 8.02.    Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator, any person serving on a committee that serves as Administrator, and any officer, employee, or director of the Company or any Affiliated Employer to whom any duty or power relating to the administration of the Plan has been properly delegated from and against any

12

4844-4073-4733.9

cost, expense, or liability arising out of any act or omission in connection with the Plan, unless arising out of such person’s own fraud or bad faith.

Section 8.03. Claims and Claims Review Procedure.

(a)    All Benefit Claims must be made in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator from time to time. A Benefit Claim and any appeal thereof may be filed by the claimant or his authorized representative.

(b)    The Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice of its approval or Denial of a properly filed Benefit Claim within 90 days after receiving the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of the decision period. If special circumstances require an extension of the time for processing the claim, the initial 90-day period may be extended for up to an additional 90 days. If an extension is required, the Administrator shall provide written notice of the required extension before the end of the initial 90-day period, which notice shall (i) specify the circumstances requiring an extension and (ii) the date by which the Administrator expects to make a decision.

(c)    If a Benefit Claim is Denied, the Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice containing (i) the specific reasons for the Denial, (ii) references to the applicable Plan provisions on which the Denial is based, (iii) a description of any additional material or information needed and why such material or information is necessary, and (iv) a description of the applicable review process and time limits.

(d)    A claimant may appeal the Denial of a Benefit Claim by filing a written appeal with the Administrator within 60 days after receiving notice of the Denial. The claimant’s appeal shall be deemed filed on receipt by the Administrator. If a claimant does not file a timely appeal, the Administrator’s decision shall be deemed final, conclusive, and binding on all persons.

(e)    The Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice of its decision on appeal within 60 days after receipt of the claimant’s appeal request, unless special circumstances require an extension of this time period. If special circumstances require an extension of the time to process the appeal, the processing period may be extended for up to an additional 60 days. If an extension is required, the Administrator shall provide written notice of the required extension to the claimant before the end of the original 60-day period, which shall specify the circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which the Administrator expects to make a decision. If the Benefit Claim is Denied on appeal, the Administrator shall provide the claimant with written or electronic notice containing a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the Benefit Claim, as well as the specific reasons for the Denial on appeal and references to the applicable Plan provisions on which the Denial is based. The Administrator’s decision on appeal shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons.

ARTICLE IX

GROSS-UP PAYMENTS

If payment of the lump sum value of the Deferred Amounts pursuant to Section 7.06 (“Accelerated Payment”) causes the Accelerated Payment and any other payments made in connection with a Change of Control (together with the Accelerated Payment, the “Total Payments”) to be subject to the tax (“Excise Tax”) imposed by Code Section 4999, the Company shall pay to the Participant an additional amount (“Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the Participant, after deduction of any Excise Tax paid or payable (and not grossed-up under a similar provision of another plan or program sponsored by the Company) on the lump sum and such other Total Payments and any federal, state, and local income tax and Excise Tax upon the payment provided for by this Article, shall be equal to the Accelerated Payment and such other Total Payments. If any of such other Total Payments are subject to the Excise Tax without regard to the Accelerated Payment, a Gross-Up Payment shall be made, but shall be limited to the increase in the Excise Tax (plus any federal, state, and local income tax and Excise Tax on such Gross-Up Payment) arising solely as a result of the Accelerated Payment.

For purposes of determining whether any of the payments described above will he subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) any other payments or benefits received or to be received by the Participant in connection with a Change of Control, whether payable pursuant to the terms of the Plan or any other plan, arrangement, or agreement with the Company, its successors, any person whose actions result in a change in control of the Company or any corporation affiliated (or which, as a result of the completion of a transaction causing a change of control, will become affiliated) with the Company within the meaning of Code Section 1504 shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2), and all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(1) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company’s independent auditors, the payments (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, or such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(4) either in their entirety or in excess of the base amount within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(3), or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, (ii) the amount of the payments that shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the total amount of the payments or (B) the amount of excess parachute payments within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(1) (after applying clause (i), above), and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Company’s independent auditors and acceptable to the Participant in accordance with the principles of Code Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4). In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of payment, the Participant shall repay to the Company at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal and state and local income tax imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by the Participant if such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax and/or a federal and state and local income tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Code Section 1274(d). In the event that the Excise Tax is

14

4844-4073-4733.9

determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of the Gross-Up Payment (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.

To the extent that earlier payment is not required by the preceding provisions of this Section, the Company’s payment pursuant to this Section shall be made not later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Participant remits the related taxes.

ARTICLE X

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

The Plan shall continue in force with respect to any Participant until the completion of any payments due hereunder. The Company may, however, at any time, amend the Plan to provide that no additional benefits shall accrue with respect to any Participant under the Plan or otherwise; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) deprive any Participant or Beneficiary of any benefit that accrued under the Plan before the adoption of such amendment; (ii) result in an acceleration of benefit payments in violation of Code Section 409A and the guidance thereunder, or (iii) result in any other violation of Section 409A or the guidance thereunder. The Company may also, at any time, amend the Plan retroactively or otherwise, if and to the extent that it deems such action appropriate in light of government regulations or other legal requirements.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.01. Obligations of the Company. The only obligation of the Company or any Affiliated Employer hereunder shall be a contractual obligation to make payments to Participants, Spouses, or other Beneficiaries entitled to benefits provided for herein when due, and only to the extent that such payments are not made from the Trust.

Section 11.02. Employment Rights. Nothing contain herein shall confer any right on a Participant to be continued in the service of the Company or affect the Participant’s right to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance with any pension, profit-sharing, incentive compensation, or other benefit plan or program of the Company or any Affiliated Employer.

Section 11.03. Non-Alienation. Except as otherwise required by a Domestic Relations Order, no right or interest of a Participant, Spouse, or other Beneficiary under this Plan shall be subject to voluntary or involuntary alienation, assignment, or transfer of any kind.

Section 11.04. Tax Withholding. The Company or the Trustee may withhold from any distribution hereunder amounts that the Company or the Trustee deems necessary to satisfy

15

4844-4073-4733.9

federal, state, or local tax withholding requirements (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company or Trustee with regard to such taxes).

Section 11.05. Other Plans. Amounts and benefits paid under the Plan shall not be considered compensation to the Participant for purposes of computing any benefits to which he may be entitled under any other pension or retirement plan maintained by the Company or any Affiliated Employer.

Section 11.06. Liability of Affiliated Employers. If any payment to be made under the Plan is to be made on account of a Participant who is or was employed by an Affiliated Employer, the cost of such payment shall be borne in such proportion as the Company and the Affiliated Employer agree.

This Amendment and Restatement of the Cummins Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors has been approved by the Company’s duly authorized officer, acting on behalf of the Company, on this 15th day of February, 2021.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

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, electric power generation systems, batteries, electrified power systems, hydrogen production 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 network of over 500 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and over 9,000 Cummins certified dealer locations with service to 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 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, 2020. Our interim period financial results for the three 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.

Reporting Period

Our reporting period usually ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period. The first quarters of 2021 and 2020 ended on April 4 and March 29, respectively. Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

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:

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue from Contract with Customer

NOTE 2. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Long-term Contracts

The majority of our contracts are for a period of less than one year. We have certain long-term maintenance agreements, construction contracts 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 April 4, 2021, was $847 million. We expect to recognize the related revenue of $152 million over the next 12 months and $695 million over periods up to 10 years. See Note 9, "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.

Deferred and Unbilled Revenue

The following is a summary of our unbilled and deferred revenue and related activity:

In millions	April 4, 2021		December 31, 2020
Unbilled revenue	$	153	$	114
Deferred revenue, primarily extended warranty	1,601		1,531

We recognized revenue of $154 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, compared with $112 million for the comparable period in 2020, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each year. We did not record any impairment losses on our unbilled revenues during the three months ended April 4, 2021 or March 29, 2020.

(1) Unrealized gains and losses for debt securities are recorded in other comprehensive income while unrealized gains and losses for equity securities are recorded in "Other income, net" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

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 three months ended April 4, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020.

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.

The proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities were as follows:

Loans payable (1)	$	93		$	169
Commercial paper	317		(2)	323		(3)
(1) Loans payable consist primarily of notes payable to various domestic and international financial institutions. It is not practicable to aggregate these notes and calculate a quarterly weighted-average interest rate.
(2) The weighted-average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was negative 0.03 percent at April 4, 2021 and included $117 million of borrowings under the EUR program that were negative 0.35 percent and $200 million of borrowings under the U.S. program at 0.16 percent.
(3) The weighted-average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was negative 0.01 percent at December 31, 2020 and included $123 million of borrowings under the EUR program that were negative 0.34 percent and $200 million of borrowings under the U.S. program at 0.19 percent.

We can issue up to $3.5 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized commercial paper programs. The 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 general corporate purposes.

We have access to committed credit facilities that total $3.5 billion, including the $1.5 billion 364-day facility that expires August 18, 2021 and our $2.0 billion five-year facility that expires on August 22, 2023. We 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 for general corporate purposes. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at April 4, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

At April 4, 2021, the $317 million of outstanding commercial paper effectively reduced the $3.5 billion of revolving credit capacity to $3.2 billion.

At April 4, 2021, we also had an additional $249 million available for borrowings under our international and other domestic credit facilities.

Engine System Campaign Accrual

During 2017, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) selected certain of our pre-2013 model year engine systems for additional emissions testing. Some of these engine systems failed CARB and EPA tests as a result of degradation of an aftertreatment component. In the second quarter of 2018, we reached agreement with the CARB and EPA regarding our plans to address the affected populations. From the fourth quarter of 2017 through the second quarter of 2018, we recorded charges for the expected costs of field campaigns to repair these engine systems.

The campaigns launched in the third quarter of 2018 are being completed in phases across the affected population. The total engine system campaign charge, excluding supplier recoveries, was $410 million. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we recorded an additional $20 million charge related to this campaign, as a change in estimate, to bring the total campaign, excluding supplier recoveries, to $430 million. At April 4, 2021, the remaining accrual balance was $129 million.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 10. 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; and environmental matters. 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 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 EPA and CARB regarding certification of our engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks. This review is being conducted with external advisors 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. In addition, we voluntarily disclosed our formal internal review to the regulators and to other government agencies, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the SEC, and worked cooperatively with them to ensure a complete and thorough review. We fully cooperated with the DOJ's and the SEC's information requests and inquiries and, based on recent communications with these agencies, we do not expect further inquiries. 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 discussions, the regulators have asked us to look at other model years and other engines. Due to the continuing nature of our formal review, our ongoing cooperation with our regulators and the presence of many unknown facts and circumstances, we cannot predict the final outcome of this review and these regulatory processes, and we cannot provide assurance that the matter will not have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

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 April 4, 2021, the maximum potential loss related to these guarantees was $31 million.

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. At April 4, 2021, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $74 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 April 4, 2021, the total commitments under these contracts were $39 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 $100 million at April 4, 2021.

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.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

OPERATING SEGMENTS

NOTE 12. 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 President and Chief Operating Officer.

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 hydrogen production solutions as well as electrified power systems ranging from fully electric to hybrid along with innovative components and subsystems, including battery and fuel cell 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.

We use segment earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA) as the primary 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 to individual segments. EBITDA may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

Summarized financial information regarding our reportable operating segments for the three months ended is shown in the table below:
