Cummins Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

•Third quarter revenues of $5.1 billion; GAAP¹ Net Income of $501 million

•Third quarter EBITDA of 17.1 percent; Diluted EPS of $3.36

•The company produced record quarterly operating cash flow of $1.2 billion

•Total liquidity increased to $6.5 billion, including cash and marketable securities of $3.3 billion

COLUMBUS, IND. - Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) today reported results for the third quarter of 2020.

Third quarter revenues of $5.1 billion decreased 11 percent from the same quarter in 2019. Sales in North America declined by 18 percent while international revenues were flat. Currency negatively impacted revenues by 1percent primarily due to a weaker Brazilian Real.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the third quarter were $876 million (17.1 percent of sales), compared to $958 million (16.6 percent of sales) a year ago.

“Cummins successfully translated increased sales into strong profits and produced record operating cash flow during the third quarter” said Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger. “I want to thank our employees all over the globe once again for their dedication to our company and to our customers. Over the last six months we have faced both the most severe decline in quarterly sales in our history as well as the largest sequential increase. We continue to work safely and effectively through an incredibly challenging period, meeting our commitments to customers who provide products critical to the functioning of the global economy.”

Net income attributable to Cummins in the third quarter was $501 million ($3.36 per diluted share) compared to $622 million ($3.97 per diluted share) in 2019. The tax rate in the third quarter was 26.5 percent and was negatively impacted by $31 million ($0.21 per diluted share) of discrete tax items.

“We continue to advance existing products and invest in new technology while returning cash to shareholders,” said Chief Financial Officer Mark Smith. “In October we announced a 3% increase to our quarterly dividend, which will make 2020 the eleventh consecutive year of increases to Cummins’ dividend.”

2020 Outlook:

The company currently expects fourth quarter revenues to be similar to third quarter levels, with higher demand in North America truck markets and continued improvement in aftermarket sales, partially offset by lower demand in China.

1

On October 1^st, the company ended temporary salary reductions that began in April. Compensation expense is projected to increase by approximately $90 million dollars in the fourth quarter due to the end of these salary reductions.

“We are encouraged by the recovery in demand across our markets in the third quarter,” said Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger. “We will continue to manage cautiously through the remainder of the year as visibility on future orders remains low and the impact of the virus on economies around the world remains difficult to predict.”

Third Quarter 2020 Highlights:

•The company completed an aggregate $2 billion debt offering of 5, 10, and 30-year maturities.The company’s long-term credit ratings remain unchanged at A+ from Standard & Poor’s and A2 from Moody’s with stable outlooks

•A collaboration with the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has resulted in the ability to produce enough filter media to supply more than a million face masks and respirators per day to U.S. healthcare facilities

•Cummins was awarded over $12 million of funding for five separate Department of Energy projects related to PEM and Solid Oxide fuel cell and electrolyzer technologies

•The company announced an increase in its quarterly dividend from $1.311 to $1.35 a share

(1) Includes impairment charges of $10 million and $13 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, respectively, for a joint venture in the Power Systems segment.
(2) Includes $37 million in adjustments related to tax changes within India's 2020-2021 Union Budget of India (India Tax Law Changes) passed in March 2020.

INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, were 26.5 percent and 23.6 percent, respectively.

The three months ended September 27, 2020, contained unfavorable discrete items of $31 million, or $0.21 per share, consisting of $17 million of changes in tax reserves, $8 million of provision to return adjustments relating to tax returns filed for 2019 and $6 million of net other discrete items.

The nine months ended September 27, 2020, contained $27 million, or $0.18 per share, of unfavorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to $34 million of unfavorable changes in tax reserves and $8 million of provision to return adjustments, partially offset by $15 million of favorable tax changes within India's 2020-2021 Union Budget of India (India Tax Law Change) passed in March of 2020. The India Tax Law Change eliminated the dividend distribution tax and replaced it with a lower rate withholding tax as the burden shifted from the dividend payor to the dividend recipient for a net favorable income statement impact of $35 million.

The India Tax Law Change resulted in the following adjustments to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income in the first nine months of 2020:

In millions	Favorable (Unfavorable)
Equity, royalty and interest income from investees	$	37
Income tax expense (1)	17
Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests	(19)
Net income statement impact	$	35
(1) The adjustment to "Income tax expense"includes $15 million of discrete items.

FINANCIAL MEASURES THAT SUPPLEMENT GAAP

(Unaudited)

Reconciliation of Non GAAP measures - Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA)

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.

EBITDA is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and may not be consistent with measures used by other companies. It should be considered supplemental data; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income. Below is a reconciliation of “Net income attributable to Cummins Inc.” to EBITDA for each of the applicable periods:

	Three months ended									Nine months ended
In millions	September 27, 2020			June 28, 2020			September 29, 2019			September 27, 2020			September 29, 2019
