CUMMINS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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:

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.

(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.

Loans payable (1)
$93 $169 
Commercial paper317 
(2)

(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.

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.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Overview
We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel, natural gas, electric and hybrid powertrains and powertrain-related components including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, automated transmissions, electric power generation systems, batteries, electrified power systems, hydrogen production and fuel cell products. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, dealers and other customers worldwide. We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc, Navistar International Corporation, Daimler Trucks North America and 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.

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.

Table of Contents
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.

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.

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:

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.

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:

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.

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:

(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

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:

(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.

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

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.

(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.
